Good morning! I woke up a little earlier but I have to eat something so we'll see how quickly I'll work out. It's going to go near a hundred again so I really need to not flake working out here in the morning.
Vilma -- ew! Thanks for the hugs yesterday though. Have fun with KB.
Kathy -- have fun with PU!
For me, in theory, Low Max. We'll see.

Good Morning!!! 
Vilma: Oh... my, on the oral spillage, was it a hairball? I love my kitties, but man oh man, the things that come out of their bodies sometimes. My fluffy orange cat decided he was going to lay down and relax in the LITTER BOX last night. granted I just cleaned it out and freshened it up, but ..OH MY! YUCK
!! Have fun with KB workout today!!!
Hottie: Sorry you had a crap day yesterday. I understand those days. You just want them over, and they seem to last forever. How frustrating to have a bad workout on one of your favorites!!!
Hope today is better!!
Kathy: PUB is awesome!! Enjoy!!!
Today is gorgeous once again! Just a picture perfect Fall day. I wish I could just do NOTHING and enjoy it for myself. But, I have to go out to get some Picture Day clothes for my 2 younger boys, and pick up something quickish for dinner, since it's ANOTHER Open House tonight. Probably won't get much "me" time. But I am going to do a circuit workout today. Beth had down HSC , but I'm fearing Leg Presses, so instead I'm going to do something NEW for me: Premix from SJP & SB: Cardio & Weights Premix! That sounds like fun!
Better go get started!!!....

Surprise rest day for me...... yesterday after school the kids and I took a walk in the woods. At one point my older son wanted to go off-trail, and I just knew it was a bad idea for me. I was doing alright for a while but he just kept going farther and farther. I had on tennis shoes, but on redwood trees that have fallen and are covered with moss, they were just too slippery. I fell. It started out really badly -- I was headed off backwards & head first. It was a decent way down -- I really think I might have broken my neck. But fortunately I somehow got turned around and just banged my elbow hard on the way down, and somehow caught myself. I still don't really know what happened. Anyway, I almost passed out. We had to sit there a good long time. Sometimes that older one is just too adventurous! So, I slept in today ('til 6:20!) and didn't work out. It's feeling remarably ok today -- just sore, so I think I'll try cardio tomorrow. I'm not sure how soon I want to swing a kettlebell again. 
Coincidentally I have to go to the dr. today for my pap, so I'll have her look at my elbow and tell me when I can lift weights again. She's a GP.
Anyway, today is the big reuniting of Vilma and Sally -- whoo-hoo! Hope everyone has a great day and can enjoy fall a little bit -- well, except for Hottie who is going to enjoy an indian summer day. 100?! yuck! We're at 80ish here.

Done with today workout Boy I am feeling DOMs in places I've not felt DOMs at. Oh I did 'The Kettlebell Way' .
Kathy have a good day and enjoy PUB - lurve that one
Chris no... no hairball this time but stomach contents ewww
OMG! I can't stop laughing about Kiwi - what a nut relaxing in his kitty box? Yuck is right - these cats are too much lol
Hottie Here's hoping you have a better day today and Keep cool! 100 degrees is way too much. We get triple digits here during the summer but October? Ugh!
Beth!!! Ohhh NOOO! I'm so sorry to hear you had such a fall! Feel better soon and rest up!!
Nope my Sally girl is not ready to come home yet. I am so bummed over it as I really thought I would have my car back today like they told dh on Monday. They want to check some other things before they sign off on her.
I'd rather have a road worthy car than have them rush it so ... still waiting.
Hellos to everyone else who happens by here.
I have more laundry to do as my day was so full yesterday that I never was able to finish last night.
Later ......

Hi Again!
I'm beat today
. Wow. I just can't shake this tiredness. Don't know how I did it, but I got through the Step Blast & SJP Circuit! It was very challenging, I absolutely LOVE the music in these workouts, and I got through. I think I need to do some extra stretching when I get a few minutes later. My back and legs are pretty tight. I really did enjoy this new to me workout mix! But almost fell asleep during the stretching. Me thinks the new thyroid med didn't kick in yet !
Beth: OMG! What a crazy thing! SOOOO glad you're ok!! It sounds so scary and sounded like you could have hurt yourself badly. Let us know how your'e feeling and what your doctor says today...
Vilma: Cool beans on the DOMS! The KB's really seem to be kicking in for you in a different way. that is awesome!!... yeah, cats sure are crazy, huh? Kiwi is a true nut but like a big giant stuffed animal. Ya gotta love them!!
Getting ready for the after school rush. I can't believe it's here already!! going to have to figure out a quick supper and then off to open house again. Though this time it should be shorter, because we're NOT going to the food table again. My boys went nuts eating last night
(well, 2 out of 3. My youngest made very wise choices... cheese, strawberries & popcorn. the other 2. OMG.. cookies, donuts, baked goods. We are so not going back there! ... Oh ., I was good and had some pineapple, cantaloupe and melon!)
Have a good afternoon!!!

Hi ladies!! I've missed you all! I hope everyone is doing well - at some point I'll try to go back and read some old threads and catch up. Things still aren't quite resolved with Caitlyn. She did wind up getting readmitted to the hospital after the fever persisted for 10 days. Turns out they think it was a kidney/UTI infection. No one bothered to test for that earlier on even though she was catherized during the surgery. She didn't have any symptoms, so they said it couldn't be that. Her cardiologist admitted her last Friday to rule out any heart infections. They finally did a urinalysis and it was positive. So they treated her with IV antibiotics and sent us home Monday. She's still running fevers, though. Ugh!! They said if she's still running one tomorrow to call. She also has some inflammation around her heart from the surgery and that can cause fevers also. So, if the fever keeps up, they'll treat her for the inflammation with steriods. I asked how they're given and the doctor said we'll talk about it if necessary. She did say it could be IV. If she has to be readmitted I may lose my mind! Keeping my fingers crossed though. Our dads are not doing so well, so keep them in your prayers please.
Chris, sounds like your toe must be doing better. How funny. We have picture day tomorrow, too. Caitlyn is still out of school, but we're bringing her in tomorrow so she can be in her class picture. And, I just came back from shopping for new shirts for the boys! And I got a new dress for Caitlyn too. Ewww on your cat in the litter box! Animals do strange things!
Beth, that sounds like a scary fall. So glad you are OK. Take it easy for a day or two to make sure you're OK. That rotation of yours Chris posted looks fun.
Vilma, sounds like you're really progressing with the kettlebells! I think DH would die if I came home with anymore "toys"! I'd like to try them someday, though.
Hottie, hope you're doing OK. I haven't read yesterday's thread, but here's some extra hugs (((()))) if you need them!
Hi Kathy!
I've been trying some new workouts since I can't really follow a rotation with everything going on. I'm trying to get to some that I've never tried. The day before yesterday I did Rob Glick's Strength Training. OMG - my legs were so sore yesterday I could barely walk. I tried to do Amy's Advanced Step Challenge 3 but between my lack of energy, the complex moves and my aching legs I didn't make it too far. Today was Cardio Force by Ann Mairs. That was really fun. I'm trying to rotate a total body or circuit with cardio.
Have to run...

Joanne!!!
I'd been wondering about you and Caitlyn!!
What a craziness you've had there. I can't believe they didn't check a urine right away. when our patients get fevers they get the entire work up: Chest XRAY, Blood Cultures, Sputum Culture (if productive), Urinalysis and Urine culture. I'd think they'd be like that with surgery patients too.
Yes, my toe is MUCH better! It still twinges here and there, but I'm walking 99% without a limp, and doing STEP!!! I'm a little leary about running just yet though. I don't want to do something to it before the walk we're doing for JDRF on Oct. 19th. That's funny your picture day is the same there. I love that you're bringing Caitlyn in and bought her something new. She must love that! My boys could care less. In fact, my oldest one REFUSED to wear the shirt I got him (he had his done a few weeks ago in Middle School). He always tells me, "Don't you want the picture to capture the REAL me?" and he wore a Red Sox jersey! Boys!
Your workouts sound fun, Joanne. It is great opportunity to try new ones.
take care and prayers for your fathers too!!!
Keep us up to date!!! we miss you!

Joanne, so glad to hear from you! I'm sorry to hear the dads are not doing well, and I hope that Caitlyn does not have to go back into the hospital!
Vilma, sorry to hear about Sally, but you're right -- better to know she's safe!
My arm is feeling better. Last night and this morning I just felt like I'd really been beat up -- sort of hurt all over. Today it's just tender around the elbow. My dr. at first thought I should go get an x-ray but then said just watch it and if it doesn't get progressively better over the next week to call them. She did say no weights or push-ups for the next week. Guess I'll be doing a lot of cardio, pilates, yoga, and well, let's face it, I can keep working my lower body. Too bad I don't have that weighted vest.....

Hi Everyone!
Wanted to stop by for a quick check in to say Hello! I've been busy. My DH had a surgery today to take all his wisdom teeth out and he's in pain I've been taking care of him and the kids all day. Tomorrow I work and when I come back I have to pack our things because we are going to Mississippi for the weekend. We are leaving at 3am Friday. So, I haven't worked out since yesterday and won't workout till Monday. I just got so many things to do before our trip that I have no time for anything else. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'll check back in on Monday! I'll miss you all!
Joanne: I was wondering how Caitlyn and your DH and your dad were doing. I'm sorry to hear Caitlyn and your dads are not feeling very well still. I will keep them in my prayers. I pray that they all get well very soon!
BB on Monday!
Please pray for us to have a safe trip there and back home Thank you!
