Possible CTX rotation for February.

Hey Karen, stop trying to boss around your characters..you know they won't listen! :p :7 :+ :7 lol

Well, glad to hear that you have atleast some what "broken thru" your writing troubles.

Last night I did the rest of C & W (minus abs/stretch) plus Stretch Max # 1. I don't know if I will exercise tonight and if I do, don't know what it will be. I'm playing it day by day now.

Was at the doctor's again yesterday morning. All is well. He is happy with my "progression" as they call it. Back again in a week, ofcourse.

Well, it's coming down to the wire for work...Life as I know it is about to change in a HUGE way...am I ready? Do I have a choice at this point? lol Nope-I certainly do not-so, YES, I am ready!!! :7

Okay, well it's time for a shower...have to head off to work soon.

Have a great day!

Hi Wendy,

I know. I know. Amazing how those characters were in rebellion.x(

Wow, it is coming down to the wire now, isn't it? Reminds me that my hubby's birthday is coming up soon, as well. Plus my deadline is also staring me in the face.

You're ready. I'm sure it'll be fine. I can understand why you might not exercise every day now -- I think the last two weeks before my kids were born that I was waddling -- much like a duck...:+

Oh, don't know if you're interested or not, but I often peruse the organic consumers site and ran across something on baby products and safety and such and thought of you -- thought I might pass the site along to you. It's www.organicconsumers.com -- and it's right there on their front page, I believe...if you're interested.

Okay. Have a terrific day. Hang in there. Soon...:7
 
Hi Karen.

Thanks for the website suggestion...I will definately check it out.

Well, no work out for me last night...I had good intentions but there just wasn't enough time for it. Tonight tho...if I can muster the energy! ;-)

So tmrw is my last day at work and then it's home to clean clean clean!!! :+ Even though I have still have several things I'd like to do before he comes, I am kinda hoping for Mother's Day baby. I think that would be way cool! Don't you? :) Ofcourse, I have no say in this so I'll just have to wait and see what he decides to do! lol

Have a great day!

Hi Wendy,

Wow, it really is coming up soon, isn't it?:7 And the last day at work approaches. How cool. I remember doing a bunch of cleaning, too.

Yes, a Mother's Day baby would be nice, but then any day is good, too. And of course, the 19th is a great day as well.

My anniversary approaches, as well.:)

But I'm under deadline...x(

Have a great one.

Oh, did IMAX3 today. Boy, that one pushes me to the limit and I do lo versions.:eek:

Okay have a terrific evening.:7
 
Good Morning Karen.

I did Body Fusion last night and I must say...It kicked my butt! x(
I am definately losing my energy & endurance as "the day" approaches...Maybe it's time to keep the work outs to a 30 min max no matter what.

So what are your plans for Mother's Day? Are you and/or your husband still blessed with moms to spend it with? I will be with my MIL on saturday and with my mom on sunday. It will make for a nice family weekend...unless I go into labor...then it will become quite hectic! lol :p

So, Karen, do you do better work under the pressure of an impending deadline or are you best at what you do while the deadline is still far off? Some people actually PREFER to work under pressure. There are things that I do better when I feel pressure to do them...I must admit...usually the things I don't WANT to do lol. The pressure is the ONLY motivation I have to do them. ;-)

Okay, I'm off to get ready for my last day at my CURRENT job! :7 I'm in shock...time has flown by! Not only will I never go back to work at my current job, but soon enough I will be home with a newborn baby boy whom I will depend on me for his every need! :eek: That could scare the bejeebers outta anybody, ey!? :+

Have a good weekend!

Hi Wendy,

Good morning. Last day at work. Wow! Hope it's a really good one. Must be a good feeling, though -- it'll be a great change, I'm sure.:)

I can understand putting the workouts to lesser time. I'm impressed that you're still doing the workouts this close to the due date...;-) As I mentioned, I waddled...:+

Actually I work well both ways -- I prefer to have lots of time to write and then just write everyday until it's done -- anymore, however, this is seldom what happens. Life being hectic and all, it's usually down to the wire, and though I can write like that, it's really not what I prefer.

Anyway, have a great one. I think I'm scheduled for Power Hour today, but I might change it to PUB and then do a short cardio after. We'll see.

Have a great one.:7
 
Wow, Wendy, you look wonderful!!! The workouts have definitely done you good. Don't think you'll have any trouble losing weight after the baby's born (if you gained any at all). Know you'll be really strong for the delivery too. Have a great day, what an exciting time!

Jeanette
 
Hi Wendy! Hi Jeanette!

I, too, went and had a look at your pictures -- you look great, Wendy -- and thanks for the happy day!

Wow, it's really getting close now, isn't it? You're gonna do fine, and so it the baby. What a terrific time of life -- yours is about to change...:) All good things.:)

Have a wonderful evening, Wendy.
 
Hi Karen.

So I'm officially on maternity leave!!! Started today!!!

I was busy today. I did more today at home than I usually do at work! lol I had to go to motor vehicles to renew my license and then I came home and started "super-cleaning" my kitchen. ;)

After dinner I did the first step blast premix. I love that work out! :7:7:7

Tomorrow morning I have to get the oil changed in my car. Then to a doc appointment and finally to visit a friend for lunch and home to clean some more!

How was your Mother's Day? What did you do?

Hi Wendy!

Gosh I don't know what's happened to my posts the last few days. I've posted the past few days, but they aren't showing up here -- probably I pushed the wrong button or something.:+

I just think it's wonderful that you're home and getting ready for the baby! What fun you're going to have -- a whole new world opening up for you.

Oh, also, I went and took a look at your pictures that you'd posted. You look so good, Wendy! And I'm really impressed with you and working out at all. When I was in the same position you are (pregnant and two weeks to go) I waddled. Truly waddled like a duck.x(

Anyway, sorry the posts didn't take -- probably just got in a hurry and pushed wrong buttons.

Have a terrific day -- and you'll keep us posted, right?:7
 
OOOOH Karen...a hotel? Woo hoo! You go girl! :+ Was it one of those "theme room" places? They are cool! I won't ask you what you did... I think I know. ;-) I will just ask...did you have GOOD time? }(

So I have worked out 3 days this week. Not bad. I did SB premix # 1 on monday, SJP premix # 2 on wednesday and ctx kickbox (cardio only) on thursday (yesterday).

How have your work outs been going? And your writing? You know the evening at the hotel could very well have cured your writers block! }( ;-) :+ :p

Take care!

Hi Wendy,

The hotel was great -- not a theme hotel -- it was right downtown in LA -- a Westin hotel -- gosh, it was great to get away, though. They had a running track right in the hotel, as well as a workout room -- didn't use them as we were there for such a short time, and I didn't even think to bring workout clothes or shoes.x( And we had a really, really super time.;) I came back much more relaxed and ready to get down to work.

Writing is going okay -- am shooting to write 20 pages today -- that's really something considering that my average is about 6-7 pages a day...}( But that's what I'm shooting for. I'm finally back up to and past where I left off to go back and fix things -- so I'm once again back into Creative writing.:)

Noticed that you said you love to shop. Me, too! Love to shop -- sometimes, just to feel good about things, I'll just go shopping, always come back feeling great -- even if I didn't buy anything.:+

What are your favorite shops? Mine is probably Macy's -- but I also like Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Finch, and Norstrums -- love SportsMart for Sports Stuff -- but Macy's is right up there -- I think cause of all their sales and their clothing lasts pretty well -- pretty good quality -- also like Victoria's Secret Catalogue, but I've discovered that one really has to watch their billing -- they make mistakes -- and so far none of them have been in my favor...}(

But they have some interesting clothes, at least.

Well, okay, it's time to get down to work. Hi, ho. Hi, ho. It's off to work I go. Whistle.... Hi, ho. Hi, ho. Are you singing?

Have a great day, Wendy.:7
 
Hi Karen! I decided it is time to bring our thread back even though I can't exercise yet! I have 2 more weeks to go. :-(

So how's the book going? Aren't you close to deadline now? Have anything fun planned for the summer?

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

A new mother! Hope you are doing well, and loving it. I know sometimes it can be tough, but hope you are really loving it.

Yes, I'm 5 -- 6 days at the most -- away from deadline. I've got the book written, however, and am into editing. And have that about 1/2 done. Then it's printing it up and sending it off to my editor. Got a picture of the new cover from my editor -- this is for this book, not the one coming out in Sept -- but the one I'm under deadline for -- it's gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Beautiful landscape with the hero and heroine is on a horse. It's the prettiest cover I've ever had.

I am so pleased.

2 weeks to being able to exercise again, huh? Well, enjoy the rest -- bet you're saying what rest?

Have a great one, Wendy -- I did go and have a peep at your pictures -- what a treasure you have. A real treasure.:7
 
Hi Karen.

Ok, well I must admit that I cheated. On friday I exercised. I couldn't stand it anymore! I've been feeling fine and I was at 4 weeks by then. I was told no exercise but walking for 4 to 6 weeks so I figured it would be okay if I took it easy until I see the doc to get the actual clearance. I did basic step, the abs from bs and stretchmax # 2. It felt great but it was a very very easy work out. I can't wait to kick it up several notches! }( I didn't exercise this weekend but I'm going to tomorrow...I am thinking of doing basic step again but this time adding in light weight work and then doing the abs and the stretch again. Speaking of abs...OMG my abs are SHOT SHOT SHOT! lol It's gonna take some real work on my part to get those muscles back into shape! I have a mission now!:)
I see my doc on wednesday so hopefully he'll give me the go ahead to get back to my "normal life"...I HOPE!

Glad to hear that you finished your book. You must have been relieved after the troubles you were having with it.

Well my baby is sleeping so mom's gonna hit the hay herself.

It's nice to have our thread back, isn't it? I look forward to our chats. :)

Have a great week!

Wendy

Hi Wendy!:)

It really is nice to have our thread back. I enjoy our chats, too.

Well, got the manuscript edited and off to the editor this morning. It is a good feeling. However, now I'm faced with all these things that I must, must do that's been building up -- mostly bookseller lists and such. Pant...pant...

Gee, I'd be surprised if your abs weren't fried... Look at the wonderful thing you just did. At least you're exercising. It took me years and years before I ever exercised after I'd had my kids -- it just wasn't quite the thing to do when I had my kids -- it's so good that you can do this.

I bet Basic Step is good, but do go easy on yourself. Remember you have had a major physical thing happen to you, so you don't want to tax yourself unnecessarily. Boy, I can understand you're wanting to get back into it, though.

So, how do you like being a new mom? I really hope you're enjoying it. At first, I remember it being somewhat difficult, but just so you know, every day, it just gets better, and better and better.:7

Okay, so workout wise, did IMAX2 today. Always a good workout. Love it -- and tomorrow plan my fav -- ME.

So, must go -- get back to work on those bookseller lists...sigh...:+

Have a terrific evening.
