Oh LaDonna I feel your pain! I closed mine 2 weeks ago and it was a sad day indeed!

Good morning all... guess it pays to be here early so or these get SO long!
I did GS back/bi's yesterday and have no idea about what's on tap for today... for some reason it has been hard to guage what I will feel up to and the pre-scheduled calendar has gone out the window! But definately something!
Robin ~ yes, thank you for the review of the HN Shredded Wheat... you can only have so many HN Cheerios!
Shelley ~ also trying to resist the KB phenom... doing pretty good so far...
Vilma ~ I don't have cats anymore, but you have managed to dredge up the ewww factor from my past... very sorry for your pain!
Judy ~ Yikes, 2-ipods! that's gonna leave a mark, in the ol' pocketbook!
Catherine ~ how do you manage such great schedules??? lucky duck! and I so admire anyone who can do chinups... doubtful I could even manage one right now...
LaDonna ~ WOW! you go girl! 1/2 marathon might as well be 1000 miles for me... i'm lucky to finish 2 miles on TM without gasping for air! Good Luck Sunday!
Beth ~ also did GS Back yesterday, but you went on??? you are the energizer bunny!
Ellie ~ sending tissue with lotion and a pint of Whiskey... My old boss swears that one of these and *poof* colds gone! I have never the guts or inclination to actually try this method, but he swears by it!
Wendy ~ our furbaby pictured above was also very needy this morning. I REALLY feel your pain, especially in light of the fact that I am trying to obstain from Diet Soda, and don't like coffee as most would think to drink it, so I'm draggin tail a bit as well... Missy Lou jumped on the bed and tiptoed around to my side and proceeded to put her nose as close to my ear as she could without touching and just stood there and waited... it worked, I woke up! UGH! that was at 2am... again at 3am, and DH's alarm off at 4am...
Heather ~ will have to do some research on Zumba... have heard it mentioned before, but have NO idea what it is... have fun!
Judi ~ last time I did PUB I was the same way! DOMS especially in the Peck region for 3 days!
Karen ~ also sending (((hugs))) and prayers for your DF and the surgery today!
Have a great day to all that follow!

Ellie-I hate head colds! Ick. They are just miserable. Take care and I hope you are better very soon.
Heather--Keep resting that knee!!!
Karin--I will keep your dad in my prayers. I hope everything goes well for him this morning.
Catherine--Yes! I do feel there are kettlebell enablers out here...because I had never heard of these things until I came here in July, and now I'm starting to feel like I *need* them. (NO NO NO I don't!!!!!!!)
Judi--Good workout this morning!!
Robin--Yes, the kitties are amusing. And after I posted this morning, guess what Mr. Needy did? Puked up his breakfast in the laundry room. NICE!

Karin, just a quick post to let you know your dad is in my prayers today...

Karin- (((hugs and prayers for your Dad!)))
Karin- I would have to call it more of a power yoga, although I have never asked the name. . We do many balancing poses and slow warm ups to open out hips quad backs shoulders and hammies. It is the first yoga class or DVD, out of numerous attempts over several years , to get me hooked. Every class is different.
LaDonna- Good luck in your half marathon. Which one are you running?
Catherine- I have a dumb question. Being a pull-up-Chin-up-virgin I would like to know the difference between them.

Judy, chinups are with the palms facing you(supinated). Pullups are with the palms facing away. Pullups are a fair bit harder for me

My workout for today ‘The Kettlebell Way’ is done!
I really like this one as before they start they quickly explain the moves.
Robin sometimes I wonder if my calico is bulimic as she tends to just chow down really fast sometimes before the male cat pushes her out of her food bowl (we have two bowls for each one) and ends up hacking her unchewed food back up which is still so gross.
Judy sorry to hear about the iPods.
My dd’s mini iPod was stolen at school, they are not cheap, and boy was I mad.She ended up getting the 2nd g nano as a replacement.
We all have iPods here now except our 10 yr old and she’ll be getting hers for Christmas. I like ordering through Apple online for the free engraving they offer.
Oldest DD & I have the 2nd g nano, while DH & DS have the 3rd g nano and now the youngest will get the 4th g nano. Our DS was a bit peeved that his little sister will be getting an 8 gig instead of a 4 gig which is what he has lol. We all use our iPods here on a daily basis, couldn’t do my Cardio Coaches or iTreads without mine that’s for sure.
Catherine I know right! Being owned by cats has some eww factor moments lol
LaDonna enjoy your run today!
Beth I have been really interested on getting the Zumba dvd – is it worth getting? I live in an area where there are no live Kettlebell workouts or Zumba classes.
Ellie hope you get to feeling better soon.
Wendy I have to keep our bedroom doors closed for that exact reason or else I’d never sleep. Instead my cats tend to knock themselves on the door and whine until they figure out I’m not getting up but the minute they hear my alarm go off I get a symphony of meows.
I have a Miss Hacksalot and Mr TopCat Noisy Busybody here lol
Heather My heating pad becomes my BFF during TOM. Big hugs to you get well soon.
That Zumba class sounds like so much fun! I’m seriously intrigued about it and wondering if the dvd is any good, if I hear good reviews I just my cave.
Judi Man I can’t remember when I did S&H last but I always remember
when I do that series I’m always sooo darned hungry and yup sore too. Which cardio did you decide to do?
Karin Sending many healing positive vibes/prayers to your dad, mom, you & the rest of your family while you wait for him to get out of surgery.
Praying all goes well and that he has a speedy recovery.
Yes I just started with the kettlebells; I’m into my 2nd week using them. For now I’m doing Kettlebell work 2 times a week alternating cardio. At the moment I’m using the 15 pound Go-Fit Kettlebell that I got at Target.
I’m waiting on my back order from perform better for my other 8KG & 12KG kettlebells that I ordered with AOS Newport.
Finding that my 15 pound bell is a bit heavy for those ‘windmills into overhead squats’ so I’m using a 10 pound dumbbell until I get that move better, overall I’m really liking this type of workout.

Dani, so Missy Lou and Mr. Needy were on the same timetable last night? Are you *dragging* right now? My eyes actually hurt...Here is to happy, independent minded animals tonight and good sleep for us!!
Ellie-How are you feeling this afternoon? Better, I hope!

Hiya Peeps,
I'm really late checking in today so I'll try to be brief. This morning, I did BBC Chest & Abs, followed by non-treadmill cardio. I also added on a little extra stretching at the end because I'm experiencing some serious DOMS in my legs & glutes from yesterday's workout.
Since it's raining here & I've been cooped up all day, I've been working on laundry, washing the dog, & some miscellaneous housework. Hopefully it will be nicer tomorrow so I can get back to pressure washing the fence & decks.
Karin, just want you to know I'm sending lots of hugs & positive thoughts to you, your dad, & your entire family. I hope everything goes well.
Okay, I guess that's it for now. I'll try to visit a little earlier tomorrow so I have more time to chat.
I hope everyone has a great afternoon!

I even take Ambien! but once awake, it's nearly impossible to get back to sleep... so I counted sheep, clicks on the digital clock, etc... and think I dozed a few times, but my head keeps hitting the desk today! I feel better now that I have eaten lunch, but I may hit the hay a bit earlier tonite... after a good workout of course!

Hi peeps. Thanks for all the good luck for Sunday. I am getting a bit nervous. My run went very well today. I only have an easy 3 miler tomorrow and then I am home free!
JUDY--- I am running the Evansville Half Marathon. It is my first and if it goes well, I am going to attempt the Nashville Marathon in April.

Uh Dani, how much of that whiskey was I supposed to drink??
It felt really horrible at first, I'm not really a drinker, but after it burnt my throat,esophagus, and stomach lining, I felt much better. So I had some more and then I had a little more and then a wee bit more...... and then I called my DH and asked him how the hell to get the bed to stop spinning
2 hours later, still laughing too hard to make any sense but man I FELT GOOD for a little while. REALLY REALLY GOOD. And I love you guys and you are my best friends blah blah blah, all the other crap really intoxicated people in bars say
I am off to sleep now

uh, well... HE would have downed the whole pint, however, i'd have been out cold after a few shots! It's been so long that I have had a cold that I haven't tried it lately, but if nothing else, it makes you forget about your cold!
Honestly my old boss swears by it though! drink lots of water and take asperine in the morning!
