Push It

Toni----glad you are better. 3 out of 4 in my house have had the flu shot. Hoping to get my oldest son a shot soon. I can imagine how zapped you feel.

Jennifer-- I am so impressed with your knowledge. The way you explained that to Stacie with all the logistical terms---wow!!

Natty--- how great to get a personal response from Cathe!!

Stacie--- enjoy your new gloves.

Yesterday was legs and today is 30 minutes on elliptical.

DH is taking boys to the local NBA game. Maybe I will watch a movie at home or try to catch up with a friend. Who knows...,
 
Good morning,
I did Bodymax2 this morning but skipped the upper body... I plan to pump my UB hard when I get back in town on Sunday. This is the weekend we're meeting up with Craig's friends.

Heartymax,
Sounds great - I hope you totally enjoy your day whatever you end up doing!
I bet the guys will have a great time at the game.
Thanks, I like reading up on all the body mechanics of exercise:)

Tash,
So glad Cathe answered your question, and yes - so thoroughly! I was also very glad to hear that you didn't actually hurt yourself!
Are you going to try the pull over and triceps extension with a dumbbell instead? I didn't realize you had such a big and heavy barbell!

I also read her response about the cellular changes when we age... I know I am experiencing some of that - I do need longer rest periods between heavy weight workouts.

How did your HiiT and Floor work go?

Stacie, how's the working out going - are you able to get some heavy duty workout time for yourself?

Toni, how are your workouts going?

Have an awesome weekend everyone!
I best get -- need to clean, shower, pack, and hit the road.
Be safe! TTY Sunday!
 
Good afternoon everyone! Yesterday was a good day at the food bank and a good workout! It made up for not working out on Wednesay. In the night I also worked out with my neighbor. We did 10 minutes of a beginners exercise program and then a full Total Body Sculpt with Gilad workout. I was surprised how the Gilad wasn't challenging at all now. It's a good feeling to know how far I have come since I started working out again on a regular basis 16 months ago. Back then, I used to think they were pretty good workouts. My neighbor struggled with Gilad which is fine...at long as she is willing to keep trying I know she will get there. I just need to find a way to squeeze my workouts in too. At least the Food Bank helped burn off some extra energy.

I have great news to report! My son has gotten so good with reading that he is actually helping other kids with their reading. I was so happy when he told me that. The school is finally acknowledging too that he is getting better and better at it. I have also been arguing with the school for almost two years now that he is way better at math than they think he is. He tested at over half a grade higher in math than his current school grade. The tester thinks he is actually even higher than that because he was doing so many of the more difficult word problems in his head and he was doing them very quickly. I had noticed that he just whizzes through all his math homework and he was doing multi-digit addition long before the teacher was teaching it in the classroom. Anyway, it was nice to finally hear someone agree with me! She said that she is going to work with the teacher and that hopefully it will help her with someone of the frustrations she feels with him in the classroom. She thinks he is ADD which is very possible. I have been wondering about that myself for some time now. She also thinks that some of the talking in class might be because he isn't challenged enough with the math work. It will be interesting to try to find out why he tests so poorly with the teachers vs the special ed teacher. Maybe it's the difference in the rapport?

BBL for personals!
 
Hi everyone :)

Yesterday I went to see my cousin's baby. What a beauty :). I've attached a pic of Bella holding her.

I came home and did Athletic Step. It was perfect...I ate a little too much Pannetone (a sweet Italian bread-like cake, very popular around the holiday's) at my cousin's house :eek:.

Thurs I did STS M2 W3 Legs. Ohhh man :eek:. I'm having problems sitting on the toilet (YAY). You guys know that's my fav type of DOMS :D.

Today's w/o will be STS M1 W4 Chest, shoulder's & Bi's + CSS bonus step segment (to get a little more cardio in while working my shoulder's too :p).

Stacie
I commend you for going to the food back. That is very generous of you :). I love reading about people who do nice gestures for those less fortunate...it reminds me that there are still good people in this world :).
I'm SO glad your son is kicking butt with the reading! It's also great to hear how well he is excelling in math. He seems like such a sweet, good, boy. My DH was telling me not long ago, that he struggled with school up until grade 6, and then he got straight A's and became an honor roll student for the remainder of the years. I think it will only get better and better for your little guy :).
I've always wanted to try Gilad :D. He looks kinda cheesy though :rolleyes:.

Jennifer
I have a great w/e with the "good" Craig friends :D.
I'm very lucky I did not hurt myself! It was scary as heck though and I have been hesitant to do pull-overs or lying barbell extensions ever since. There was no way in hell I wanted a shoulder injury! I already have a bad back and knee, to add a shoulder to that list would have really peeved me off :mad:. And yes, I have a big 15lbs barbell :(. It was the only one I could find :(. I saw a lighter one at a store here called Canadian Tire (kinda like Home Depot) after I already bought my barbell beast :mad:. It's not a Troy, but it IS smaller and about 5lbs. We'll see, I may invest one day.

Heartymax
I've always wanted to go to an NBA game! Here we have the Toronto Raptor's...but they really suck :(. My cousin's are fans though and often frequent the games.
Hope you had a lovely evening, taking some much needed time for yourself.

Hey everyone, I'm back!! I didn't work out at all last week, but today I did LIC. And I enjoyed it greatly!! I had lost a couple pounds from being sick, so I'm looking forward to putting them back on. I was already on the bottom end of my target weight, so weight loss at that point is not great.

Hubby's BDay was last week. We went to see Kevin Hart(comedian) this past Friday. The show was great. I was all proud of my 4" heels I wore, but holy cow did my feet hurt!! I am not a girly girly, so the shoes were very new for me. But I wanted to look nice for his bday :) I attached a pic :)

I think I'm going to do Meso 2 this week. I'm feeling like I need to work a bit more on strength. I'm not starting with Meso 1 cause I can't get my mind wrapped around all those pushups!! Push I'll FINALLY get to use my squat rack stands!!

Tasha
Aren't babies cute!! The grandbaby is very cute!! And she's so quiet...hardly ever cries. And she makes all these funny faces while she's watching you..too cute!!

Stacie
That is great news about your son!! He seems very smart. He may actually be bored in class with what is being taught. I've heard of that quite a bit with some kids.

How sweet you are for teaching your neighbor the workout ropes!! That is really nice. I'm hoping you figure out a way to work in your own routine as well.

Jennifer
Hope you had a good trip!!

HeartyMax
Oh the joy of an empty house!!! I hope you made good use of your free time!!

Hi fit-tastic ladies,
The weened was much more fun than I expected; we all had a great time together after a bit of warming up Friday night.
Saturday we walked around all day in Silver Dollar City; we hit some roller coaster rides, too - what a blast! They were very smooth, made of metal and steel. Not the old rickety wooden ones that bounce all over the place.

Now that it's Sunday and I'm at home I'm about to do an upper body workout... just not sure which one yet.

Stacie,
that is GREAT NEWS - so thrilled for you both! It definitely will be interesting to see how he tests again. Good thought about the rapport, I bet you're right.

Tasha,
what an ADORABLE picture! Sounds like a nice and indulgent time, too :)
Your workouts the last couple days sound fantastic, and congrats on the DOMS!
Enjoy your heavy barbell - what's nice is that you don't have to put on as many weights since the barbell is half the battle :)

TTFN!
 
Hi,
I did Turbo Barre yesterday - I guess it's time to increase the biceps weight cuz that was super easy. The problem is going from 5lbs to 8lbs... sure would be nice to have a 6.5 or a 7lb. During the end of the shoulder parts (the half-way, then up for 2 single counts) I had to rest 1 rep.

There isn't much chest in there - that leaves me room to do some more pushups today.
After the pushups when we did the 2nd set of dips on the floor I had to rest on a few of those, too.

The Outter thigh part is just still a killer!

Undecided on which workout to do this morning... humm....

Toni,
That is awesome - they look great! Thank you for sharing and giving me some ideas :)
Make sure you get yourself in one of those, especially wearing DH's birthday outfit!

Have a great day everyone
 
Good morning :)

Yesterday Mark and I went to watch the new James Bond movie. It was INCREDIBLE! By far, the best Bond movie ever made! SO worth a trip to the cinema. I was good and did not have popcorn, soda, or any type of snack. It was tempting with the all whiffs of popcorn smell filling the air :p.

My workout yesterday evening was SJP hi/lo cardio (20min) + LBB floor & barre work (30min). AHHH, I'm actually getting better at the floor and barre work! NO BREAKS :D.

Toni
Girl, you look HOT :eek:. I love the outfit ;). The scrapbook pics are super, super adorable. Your kids are gorgeous :).
I've watched all of Kevin Hart's stand-up show's on Netflix. He is damn right hilarious. Are you a fan of Dave Chappelle? IMO, he is one of the best comedians, if not the best comedian out there -- even though he rarely does stand-up anymore which is a shame since he is SO talented. I was really sad when he left his show and went to Africa :(. Have you watched Killing Them Softly? He is brilliant. No other words to describe him. And yes, I am a fan of stand-up comedy :D. I remember as a child watching Eddie Murphy's Delirious and Raw with my cousin.

Jennifer
I'm glad you had a fun time! I used to love all kinds of roller coasters. I find the wooded ones, although very fun, give me a headache with all the rough bouncing.
The biceps not challenging enough :eek:? You are mighty there woman! That's the part I struggle with the most. If you had weighted gloves you could go up in small increments -- that's what I did with mine going from 5lbs to 6lbs. It came in handy during STS. I know, the jump from 5lbs to 8lbs is too big! They should make 6 and 7lbs dumbbell's :confused:.

Have a great day fit ones!
 
Good morning everyone! Just a heads up that I might not be able to checkin as often as I would like to for the next couple of weeks. My boss is really cracking the whip right since we have a deadline coming up mid January.

The neighbor and I worked out all weekend. Friday night was....something I can't remember...maybe basic step. Saturday was a premix from High Reps and last night was the Richard Simmons video again. The more I do the Richard Simmons one, the less I like it. His cueing is non-existant and my neighbor is very limited on space so that make it more annoying too. She loves that one though so I don't think it's going to be going away any time soon! I have this week's schedule planned for us: LIC Upper Body Split Premix(M), Basic Step (T), KickMax Premix w/ Leg Conditioning (W), 30 Day Shred Level One or NMTZ or 6 week ABS (Th), TBT Express Mix (F), off (Sat). I think she will be able to handle this. I have a beginner JM DVD too that I checked out from the library that I need to preview to see where it fits in.

This week I have to do a ton of baking. The school is having a bake sale for three days this week to benefit one of the children whose parent died recently. I have no idea who the child is or which parent died or if it was his/her only parent but I am still going to be baking like mad anyway. I offered to bring in stuff all three days and they are requesting 24 individual servings. This weekend I also stuffed some of those cute little stockings with a couple of piece of chocolates, a Christmas lollipop, and a couple of candy canes for all of my nephew's Sailor friends. When I mail the box off tomorrow, I will also send them a big tub of spritz cookies since they liked them so much last time. Two dinner dates (one with that one man and one with some friends of ours) are this week as well as Tyler's karate testing to brown belt. Whew...lots and lots to do!

Natasha
The picture of Bella holding the baby is soooo cute!

Thanks for the great review of the Bond movie! I haven't watched too many of them for some reason but a lot of them look really good. Wasn't it weird to not have the Walking Dead on last night? I can't wait for it to come back in Februrary!

Toni
Glad to hear you are feeling better! You looked fantastic for the night out with your hubby! I loved the entire outfit!

Jennifer
It sounds like you had a nice weekend away! I think it's nice that you get to get away now and then. Did the dogs do ok?

I almost broke out TB the other day to try out your suggestions. There just wasn't enough time though. I decided cleaning was higher priority (especially since my neighbor is STILL battling the mice....I don't want to give them a reason to come next door to my place!). Soon though I will. I have been meaning to try it out again for awhile now.

HeartyMax
Hi there! Are you busy baking?
 
Hello ladies :)

Yesterday I did Power Max (from Cardio Hits -- download) for the first time. Oh.My.Word. I went into the workout cocky as heck. I even started with an 8inch step height, cuz' you know, Cathe and crew were using 8 so what's the big deal right? So it started off a little tricky -- the choreo is mixed with both athletic & complex moves, which I really enjoy. The music is damn right rockin' with 90's hits! Whoop There It Is? Are you kidding me?? Love it! Anyway, at about the 30min mark, I lowered my height to 6 :eek:. It's pretty much all high impact and my little legs could not take it anymore (in my defense, I did barre and floor work the day before ;)). The last combo with a 360 turn all around the step stumped me. I just stood there with my mouth open thinking "Ok. This is HARD. Do I need to go back to Basic Step?". Luckily for me Cathe repeats the moves often and her cueing is impeccable. So the workout is not as hard as Imax3, but man it gave me a run for my money! I had fun too, which is important. I am tempted to buy all of Cardio Hit & Classics now :eek:. One more thing I need to mention, Cathe does a cool down with a mini step routine on just the platform. I've never seen her do that! I was awesome :cool:. TWO BIG THUMBS-UP for this workout :D.

Stacie
I'm sorry to hear about the student whose parent died :(. How very kind and thoughtful of you to bake for the benefit.
I hope Tyler's Karate Belt test goes well! I'm sure he will kick some serious booty (no pun intended ;)).
How nice of you to continue to workout with your neighbor and pick up all those workout DVD's from the library. I hope she is very thankful for everything you are doing.

Have a good one ladies!

Good morning, ladies!
Monday morning was Crossfire, and today I can tell; I can also tell that it's partly from Sunday's Turbo Barre. Feels good!

This morning I did the cardio portions of KPC, and then the Upper Body Express premix of TBT.

The Express Upper Body is actually just Chest/Triceps/Shoulders (even though there is a specific premix for Chest/Triceps/Shoulders which is not what I selected).

Since I did also want the Biceps and Back I went back to the Premix menu and selected Biceps/Back/Core... those exercises were repeats of each other. A bit disappointing since the other premix contained several different exercises instead of repeating the same ones.

Bottom line - those two premixes are a bit off however I am glad to have the premix options because it's still easier to get the workout I want even if it takes a few tries to get it:)

Stacie,
Since you mentioned TBT premixes you may already be aware that the premixes are somewhat off. I did not try the premix for Chest/Triceps/Shoulders specifically because I wanted the entire upper body -- so maybe that is the premix that would have given me the entire upper body option. Any thoughts?

I am proud of your neighbor, and I'm so glad that you're still helping her. I know you're ready to get to your own stuff, and having to do a workout that is annoying can really make it a chore. Soon she will be doing it on her own! I wonder why your neighbor likes the Richard Simmons one so much - especially now that she's experienced the Cathe quality. Maybe she just thinks he's cute and fun:) Your weekly workout rotation sounds great! Is she noticing any difference in her energy levels or feeling stronger yet - or just better about herself?

It's SO awesome that you are making so many cookies for a fund raiser to help people you don't know. The school is a community so it's great when everyone pitches in to help. You are so generous!

Your nephew is going to be so popular especially with you making extra treats for his friends! You're such a good aunt!

Have fun on your dates, and Congrats to Tyler for his upcoming Brown belt test -- he'll do great!

Thanks for asking - the dogs did great with Kathy. Unfortunately Whisper's toe was bothering him and he didn't want to walk up the stairs so Kathy walked him around with his leash. I really appreciated her extra work.

Come to find out he dislocated his toe; I took him to the vet yesterday because I could tell it was m-e-s-s-e-d u-p. This tendon and ligament broke but not the bone so the knuckle is displaced. The vet pushed it back into alignment and wrapped it really tight. He goes back Saturday to have it checked to see if the wrapping has held it in place - if not he'll need a cast on his foot. Sigh. It will take 8 to 12 weeks to possibly heal... 8-12 weeks of walking him and not letting him off a leash - in the winter time! Ugh! Plus the girls still get to use the stairs to the back yard so it's a bit challenging when it's time to go Outside. Mostly Craig and I can help each other, but there are certain times of the day where only one of us is around to do everything. Oh well, everyone will get used to the new routine:)

By the way, when I was doing Turbo Barre I noticed that there were times I was keeping the weight of my body on my heels in order to use my glutes and hams; it also kept my toes a bit more free which kept torque from the knee... just another something to consider.

Tascia,
Speaking of Turbo Barre... Holy Smokes Superwoman! SJP, LBB floor and Bar work?! And no breaks?! YOU are my IDOL! As hard as I've been hitting my lower body I still feel like I suck at bar work!

Aw, shucks - thanks - regarding the biceps work:)

Great idea on the weighted gloves! I have some that are a half-lb and will need to try that in addition to my 1lb wrist wraps. Thanks!

Power Max... Glad you enjoyed it and that it really challenged you! The older music is so fun! I may have that one on VHS - I'll have to check it out again.

Thanks for the Bond review! And way to go on indulging only in the scent of popcorn... sometimes that's just as rewarding IMO:)

I best get - take care all - Heartymax and Toni!
 
Good morning ladies! Last night I tortured my neighbor by making her do the Upper Body Sculpt premix of LIC. It was a good burn and was nice a sweet. I don't think she likes doing weight work but she sucks it up and does it anyway. I am proud of her. She is doing great!

Another late night due to baking cookies and I will have to get out some more batches tonight! We had a meeting at work and the boss has mandated minimum 50 hour work weeks. I have no clue how I am going to maintain that schedule but we'll see. Somehow things have a way of working out.

The special ed teacher stopped me today and she said that the school will not allow her to keep Tyler in special ed unless I get a doctor to say that he may have attention problems. I schedule an appointment for an evaluation with his doctor to see what she thinks. We talked a bit about the teacher and even she agress that the teacher is very frustrated with him...not a good situation. If I can get him qualified as ADD, then the special ed teacher will start helping him AND the teacher in the classroom. However, I don't know how that label might affect him in the future. So much to think about it...I wish choices like this were easier.

Natasha
The new avatar is so cute! It looks like Bella is getting bigger and bigger in every picture you post. Such a doll.

PowerMax is so much fun...that's the one where Cathe yells "Wild Thing" in the middle of it right? Cathe is really funny sometimes!

Jennifer
I checked the listing for TBT premixes and it says that back and bicep exercises are also in the Total Body Express premix and in the Upper Body Express premix. Now you have me wondering if the premix details don't match the actual workout. I really like the Total Body Express premix of TBT and I am pretty certain there is some back and bicep work in that one. I am going to force my neighbor to do that one on Friday. She will be happy to have Saturday as a rest day after that one!

That's too bad about the dog and his toe! A cast would be awful for a dog...I hope that the splint will prevent that! It sounds like you have a wonderful dog sitter as well. I think dogs do so much better with dog sitters than in kennels. I may need to start looking for one.

I better get back to work...have a great day everyone!
 
Hello ladies!! I've been totally getting lost in my scrapbooking and forgetting to post...LOL!! Monday was HC V2, rest yesterday, and today was and attempt at Afterburn. I knew I should have done the 1 time through premix because I wasn't really feeling the workout thing this morning. But I went ahead with the full version. I did 35 minutes and stopped. I was feeling a bit light headed and my legs were done. My body was not ready for that after over a week off :eek: Next week will be better.

Stacie
STOP ENABLING...hehe!! I've totally wanted to do some type of workout where there is contact involved. I don't have a heavy bad and I wasn't planning on getting one, but that workout you posted may make me do it. I was thinking of joining a club that offered boxing type classes, but I just really don't have the time. Plus my kids would love a bag(any excuse will do, right!!). Hmmmm..maybe a birthday present in April :)

Tasha
I agree, the Bond movie was awesome!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Kevin Hart was fabulous!! I love that guy :) I'm not a huge Dave Chappell(sp??) fan. His standup is good, but I can't deal with that show. It's a bit too slap stick like for me, but my husband like it :)

Jennifer
Everyone keeps talking about Turbo Barre!! I still haven't done it...ugh. I'm afraid of it....hehe!! Maybe next week.
 
Hello fit ladies :)

This week for weight work, I've decided to go with M3. DH is off, so I figured I give the heavy, longer w/o's a go. I will be extra cautious w/my back, so I may have to lighten up with the rows and dead-lifts. Yesterday's w/o was STS M3 Shoulder's, Bi's & Tri's. Despite doing any 1RM, I struggled with my last reps during most of the exercises, which means I nailed my #'s :cool:. Love when that happens :D.

Yesterday I ventured out into the madness and did some Xmas shopping. The mall was very busy, but everyone was polite and patient (or so it seemed). This particular mall is in a city called Newmarket -- I think I told you guys about it a few times. Anyway, I've never seen so many fit people in one place! All the moms pushing the stroller's don't even look like they had a baby! I'm envious and impressed at the same time. I'm super stoked that Target will be opening at that mall soon!

Jennifer
Thanks for the pic love ;).
Happy for your DOMS :D. That's so weird how TBT's premixes are off :confused:.
Thanks for the "Superwoman" compliment :eek:. I did not do the entire SJP, only the hi/lo section, and the LBB floor and barre work pales in comparison to TB or GS. Barre work is a different animal! No matter how "hard" you hit your LB with lunges, squats, ect., to improve at Barre, you need to do it weekly.
I'm so sorry to hear about Whisper's toe :(. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Stacie
Don't we all have ADD to a certain extent? ;). Joking aside, I understand your predicament though :(. I hope everything gets settled at school w/Tyler.
Thank you for the pic love ;). Bella is getting big so fast, but she is still my baby :).
Geeze, I commend you for working all those hours, coming home to take care of your son, exercising, baking! I'm tired just reading about it. You know they sell cookies already made right? ;). Ha, that would be me! Pillsbury is my best friend :D. I know, I know, it's not the same :rolleyes::D.

Have a great day ladies!
 
Good morning,
I will double check at some point, I suppose it is possible that I THOUGHT I selected the UB premix in TBT but didn't... the brain - a terrible thing to waste:confused:

This morning I did the step portion of Intensity and then followed it with Butt Bible L2.

Toni,
35 minutes of Afterburn is no easy feat! Especially after being on exercise sick leave. And plus it was after HC. You did great!
If you try Turbo Barre check back in and let us know how you did - it is SO hard.

Tash,
You're right - TB is just a different creature. During the outter thigh portion my hip flexors feel it the most, and also my supporting leg. I sometimes think I get a better thigh workout on the floor... but I know the hip flexors/extensors need to be worked, too.

SJP entirety or not you still rocked it all! And speaking of, congrats on hitting your numbers! That's Great!

How nice that you get to do your heavy and long workouts again. Enjoy! Yes, please do be careful with your back! Just an fyi from one back to another - my back does better when I reduce my range of motion; it still works my buns and hams because I'm squeezing and I feel the pull of the weight even though I'm not going down far, but my lower doesn't get tweaked at all.

Awesome - so motivating to live in a place where people are patient at a mall around the holiday season!:eek:

Whisper's foot is not doing well at all. I was supposed to take him back on Saturday to get checked and possibly casted, but the bandage was slipping off his foot and he was hobbling - the toe is pushed out to the side again. I re-bandaged it and put on his footie (Thera Paw) but he's still not walking well, and he slipped walking in the front door. I will need to try getting him to the vet tomorrow instead of waiting until Saturday:( Sigh...

Stacie,
So sorry to hear about the 50-hour work weeks. You have a great attitude - things do have a way of working out. I need to remember that more often.

Congratulations on your new workout! I'll have to check that out when I get some more time! Ebay can be awesome:D

That is a tough call regarding Tyler and if he should be in Special Ed or not. Keep us posted on how the evaluation goes!

I gotta ramble - have an awesome day!
 
Good morning ladies! No workout took place on Tuesday night because my neighbor fell on the ice. We did do the timesaver low impact premix of KickMax. My neighbor did fabulously! I was very proud of her!

I had some bad luck yesterday...the charging port or the cable on my netbook broke. I was using that to work from home since the desktop is down too. The desktop is really old and has been dying a slow death for awhile. The netbook was a shock but we were having problems running certain applications on it due to it's limited memory. Based on all these factors, I decided to go out and get a new laptop! I found a decent deal on a HP laptop at Micro Center but was still bummed out since I had not budgeted for it and it is Christmas time. :( Oh well, I will still fix the other ones since the old desktop is good as a print server and the netbook is nice to take on trips. Luckily, I should be able to get most of the parts off of Amazon.com!

I talked to the special ed teacher and they are going to release him from the program after we have our meeting next week. She said she gets to keep him until we have a meeting. Maybe I should tell her I can't make it and ask if we can push it back to the first of year then she wouldn't have to discharge him and then re-register him if the doctor thinks he has ADD. It's so hard to tell what is simply normal kid behavior and what is a sign that something might be wrong. I seem around the other boys in cub scouts and he honestly doesn't seem to act different than they do. Really really really odd...

Toni
Ha ha...I don't mean to enable! Well...not really! I think there is another one listed on ebay by that same seller. They have it listed as the $40 or best offer. I'm just saying....lol

Jennifer is right....35 minutes of Afterburn is still a hard workout! It's hard to jump right in with something hard after a short break.

Natasha
I love Target! I only have good things to say about it. Everyone is super friendly in the store and they also have good prices on most things. Plus, the redcard with the pharmacy rewards can equal really big savings! My last Target receipt said I had saved over $125 this year just by using the redcard!

I had to laugh at the comment about just buying the cookies! I actually thought about doing that and maybe I should have. It's hard for me to do that though because I know I can make them at home. I probably should have done that though since it would have meant some extra sleep for me which I could really use. All this week I have been averaging only 3-4 hours a night.

Jennifer
Oh now....such bad news about poor Whisper! I hope the vet can get him fixed up. It's not the same when our furry loved ones aren't feeling well...it's like when a child is sick. Definitely let us know what the vet thinks!

Have a wonderful day ladies!

P.S. I forgot to mention that my neighbor said that both of her sons are going to enter into a body building contest in May and she asked me if I wanted to go with her to watch it! It should be very interesting and I am sure there will be some nice eye candy! Woo hoo!

Happy Thursday everyone.

I felt my body needed somewhat of a break...so I did Cycle Max this morning. I almost stopped after a half hour but I knew I'd be disappointed so I pushed through.

I took a few hours off work so I could take Whisper to the vet.
At this point we just have to let it heal the way it is; the good news is that it is starting to harden/scar so it's not flopping around anymore.
He walks better without the bandage around his foot so we will just keep him on leash-only very restricted activity and he doesn't have to have it wrapped.
After a few more weeks we can let him get back to being his abnormal self:D

I hope your neighbor didn't hurt herself too bad when she fell on the ice! How COOL about her sons! It's interesting that they are into fitness but their mom is just starting to get into exercise.

Congrats on the new laptop even though I know you didn't really want to have to get it. I think it's so cool that you can fix the other two; very impressive!

Maybe it's just that particular teacher that isn't working for Tyler? Maybe he doesn't really need Special Ed specifically - just a different teacher in general - but I don't think it's a bad idea at all to push back the appointment until after the first of the year; I don't see how it could hurt. Other moms I'm sure have more thoughts on this.

Have an awesome day everyone!
