Good morning ladies..

I have some DOMS from that chest and back workout yesterday...I wasn't sure I would have them like this. I went heavy. BUt, it felt good yesterday. So, this would delayed soreness for sure!

Not much going on today. Probably take the kids to the pool before it closes on Monday. Workout will be something cardio today. I thought of doing one of the classics..

Be back later..
 
Good morning and happy Friday! Kathy, yes, definitely -- head to the pool! :) (it's still so bloody hot here.... I'd love a pool!). Have fun with your cardio -- my legs were sore this morning, but I have a hard time believing it was from that firm workout yesterday......

Ug, I had a bad night for sleep! First, went to bed to late.... then.... my friend's daughter, who happens to sit in front of Dylan in class, has lice. I'm going to see Julie and Julia with that friend tonight. Well, somehow all of this gave me a nightmare that I have lice. I woke up scratching like crazy, and then I was wide awake worrying that I have lice. Did I wake up scratching because of the dream, or did I dream that because I was scratching in my sleep because I really have lice?! That power of suggestion is crazy strong! I used the lice comb this morning and I not think I have lice, but I feel like it's hard to be sure until you really are sure, you know?! Ug!

I did 4DS BC this morning -- did pretty well. I went really light on the weights, and still it felt tough in places -- that's what happens for laying off the weights for so long. Kind of depressing. I think I'm not going to be able to do my proper STS weight amounts -- but..... I've had an epiphany here, thanks to Kathy.... it just doesn't matter if I don't follow the weights exactly!!! Doh! I'm happy to have come to that conclusion.... I think I will enjoy it more.

Hope everyone has a nice day.....

ETA: the epiphany from Kathy is remembering that she did not do the 1RM testing but just took her best guess at the weight amount (in case you were confused.....).
 
Hey Beth: OH! Lice!! I would have been itching all night. I fact I itched my head just reading about it. I hope Dylan doesn't get it. Enjoy your movie tonight..Thanks for explaining the epiphany...I was trying to think what I could have inspired! HAHA...I never wanted to do the 1 rm..I have been doing Cathe's workouts long enough to know what is heavy for me. So, I just go from there up and down and try to challenge myself. As long as I get a great workout, it doesn't matter to me what pounds I use. I see great muscle definition in the time I have done Cathe's workouts. I love that...Cathe is really nicely defined. Not sure I will ever have that. But, I am happy with what I have. Now, if I could just get rid of the belly flab!!
 
Hey Girls!

Had a crazy morning, but aren't they all! Greg came home from work pretty upset. His job just screws him over and over again, it really does suck. But he getting upset makes ME upset, and it just sucks all around. *sigh*. Thankfully the boys got all off to school and Greg went to bed, so the "suck mood" has lifted.

I did 4DS: BC w/ Biceps & Triceps too, Beth!!!

Didn't the behind the head tricep extensions bug your shoulders?? I could NEVER go as high as Cathe in weights, NEVER!! they make me cry at 15 lbs!!!

BC is one awesome kickbutt 30 minute cardio, isn't it? I'm thinking the best!

Beth: Good reasoning on STS weights. Kathy is a smart cookie :)

Kathy: enjoy the pool today! hope you get in a good fun cardio. When do you leave on your trip?

*BIG WAVES* to Hottie and Vilma and Joanne (could the results on BB be any worse?? LOL! :eek:)

BBL!
 
Forgot to reply to the "Lice" subject. Oh, I'd be freaked out too, Beth! And sounds like something that would happen to me about waking inthe middle of the night with head itchies!!! That is SOOOOO me! :eek:
 
Chris: We are leaving on Tuesday...A friend of ours watches our dog, Buddy. She is coming home Monday. So, we are leaving Tuesday to avoid boarding charges. They sure add up.. Glad your mood has lifted!! Thanks for the praise!! You ladies are the best mood picker uppers!
 
Chris, those tricep over the head thing-ies are tough, and I remember when I first started doing Cathe (OMG "doing Cathe"?!) I thought that woman was insane with how high she went. I pushed myself a lot with STS (and maybe before) and was finally able to up my weights somewhat, but this morning I went light again. The heaviest I used was 15, and I was a little nervous, but it was ok. I can feel the pain a little bit still, but I think it's getting better. Funny enough I seem to notice it a lot when I drive!!

It must be "husbands having a bad work time" week or something. Actually, when our friends were over last night the guy asked Larry how long work has been screwed up (or some such words) and Larry and I both answered in unison "oh, about ten years!" :)

Kathy, have a great time on your trip -- I had forgotten!!!

Hottie, I heard on the radio this morning that two firemen have died, so the arson investigation is officially a murder investigation. :(

Waves to Joanne and Vilma. Vilma, if you're out there, did you do ccpp last weekend? I could not, but hope to tomorrow.....

Ok, speaking of work......
 
Oh, man, I feel like cr**. Nice way to start out, huh? I've been coughing for weeks - everyone keeps telling me to go to the doctor. I've felt OK, but today feel horrible. I'm at work, but made an appt. to see the doctor this afternoon. I was out of breathe walking here from the train, which kind of scared me. The bummer is I don't like my doctor. He's nice enough, but doesn't really say anything - just looks at you. You tell him what you think is wrong, he does the cursory exam and he prescribes an antibiotic. I've been too lazy to find another doctor. I tried to make an appt. with my dad's doctor this morning but since I'd be new they can't see me till Tuesday. So, I'm going to the other guy.

Anyway, I did do Cardio Recovery this morning. Actually felt OK then, started feeling worse on the way to work.

Beth, ICK on the lice!! But, I don't think you could have them unless Dylan did first. We've managed to escape it somehow. I think it's much more common among girls since they have longer hair. But, I'd be freaking out too.

Kathy, I totally agree - great epiphany!! I think part of the dread of STS for me was the 1RM and feeling like I had to do exactly what was on the sheets. And, then worrying if I did the 1RM right. I actually did like STS, but towards the end got a bit burnt out by it. Next time I'll just wing it!

Chris, sorry to hear about your DH's job woes. Yes, bad BB night. ;( I don't even want to watch anymore.

Have a good weekend all if I'm not back...

Joanne
 
Joanne, sorry to hear you're feeling so awful! You definitely should see your dr. today, but I just wanted to put in a quick reply that maybe you should schedule that Tues. appt. with your dad's dr. anyway, just so you can get yourself established (and double-check whatever your dr. prescribes today). Just an idea...... hope you're feeling better over the weekend!!
 
Thanks Beth. Your posted prompted me to call the new doctor back and make an appt. He can't see me until the 14th, though. I guess the Tuesday appt. was with another doctor in the practice and I'd rather see the doctor that my dad sees since my mom likes him. If he can juggle all my dads issues, he must be OK! This will be a physical just to get established. I haven't had a physical in forever, what do they even do?? Probably blood work and all that.

I'll be leaving in a few minutes. Actually feeling a bit better now, but still going to the dr.
 
Beth and Chris: I can never go as heavy as Cathe on those overhead tricep extensions either. I don't know how she lifts the like 30 and more. I am in awe of that!! And thanks we are hoping the weather is nice so we can enjoy the beach and Busch Gardens..

Joanne: Sorry you are not feeling well. I agree with Beth. See your dr and your dad's; that way you won't be a new patient anymore..Hope you get relief. I liked my idea of the weight selection in STS. Most of the time I tried to guess what the cast was using. It worked for me. I would feel the exercises and I would get DOMS...It has got to do giving me some benefits.. I am looking forward to tackling STS again on the 14th..

ok, we are getting ready to hit the pool. Just finished up with Step Works. That was a tough cardio workout. I was a sweaty mess!!

Talk to you all later..
 
Joanne: We posted at the same time..Glad you will be able to see the other dr too. Hope you keep feeling better!
 
Joanne, good for you! I think what they do in a physical depends a lot on the dr. My dr. in SF was soooo thorough. She first spent like 30 minutes talking to you about your lifestyle -- all kinds of questions. She did a full body skin check (which is what caught my melanoma), blood/urine, of course, and probably other things I'm forgetting! The dr. I see currently basically just a basic exam, orders the blood test, orders a mammogram if necessary, and because she's my acting obgyn, she does that stuff too. But, there's almost no time for discussion of any issues! Oh, once in a while various drs. have also had me do a breathing test. I always fail. :eek:
 
Back from shopping. I hate grocery shopping. No I *HATE* putting AWAY the groceries more. Oh , and when the "total" appears at the register. I 'm always like "WHAT???? :eek:"

Kathy: Oh on Tuesday! Oh I don't blame you on waiting for the dog care. I can only imagine how expensive it is, plus I'm sure it tramatizes the dog! It's been nice nice weather HERE all week, and supposed to continue through the holiday weekend...

Joanne: Oh no! I'm totally suspicious that you might have Pneumonia from what you are saying. I hope you MAKE SURE that you get a chest xray today!!! I don't particularly care for my Primary Care either. He seems worthless to me most of the time. But then again, I've not had anything major wrong with me (*knock on wood*). ... You must be happy you got your workout done today before feeling crapp(ier)! .. Oh yeah, BB pissed me off. I do cheat a bit though. I read about it before it happens online. Not for Thursdays, because thats "live", but the nominations and what they're all talking about. It's "Morty's Big Brother" website. Anyways, to annoy me MORE about Natalie, she was coming up with this scheme to tell Jeff she would keep him in the house (this was before last night) if he gave her his Hawaiin Vacation. She'd take the vacation, and then vote him out anyways! (I do believe the producers wouldn't let her do it). What a bitch, huh? so HONEST. ooooh she annoys me!.... Good luck today at the doctor!!!

Beth: I feel so bad for Greg at work. He's been there the longest, knows the most, but keeps getting passed up for promotions for people who DON'T know anything. And then he has to tell them what to do. It's awful. If he could , he would find another job, but it's not the time to be doing that. Anyways, I know everyone has "shit" at work to deal with . The economy is not helping.

On a side note, just wondering, how do you guys feel about the Obama speach for schools next week? Personally, I'm so freakin annoyed that people have made a 'thing' about it. God, the guy isn't going to talk progaganda to the kids! He just values education and wants to promote. WTF is wrong with that? ...Okay, yet another thing that has irritated me today! :confused:
 
Hi everyone. Don't know if anyone is still around...but my doctor did about what I expected. He was alarmed at how bad my cough sounded. Sounded like pneumonia, but didn't hear anything in my lungs. He said it's probably bronchitis, but could be pneumonia. He prescribed biaxin, which seems like it would treat either, so hopefully it'll work.

Chris, yes Natalie annoys me. I so hope she doesn't win. I cheat too - but I look at tvclubhouse.com. I checked out the site you mentioned. Oh my - some interesting pictures. Couldn't help myself - had to click on the Braden link. Oh my. ;) ;) That sucks about Greg's job. Not much you can do to make him feel better, but it just doesn't sound fair.

Obama's speech - I'm so out of the loop I haven't heard the backlash about him doing it, but I can imagine. I just read the notes that came home from school and I thought it was a great idea. He's speaking to kids - I'm sure he won't be talking propaganda - seriously!

Beth, I'd like it if the physical was thorough, your dr. in SF sounds great. I want to have a full body skin scan (well, not really want to, but feel like I should), but my current dr. kind of dismissed me when I mentioned it a few years ago. I had alot of sun exposure in my "youth" (yep, sunning with baby oil ;)). I'll ask the new guy about it.

Going to try to get all the kids in bed early so I can get a good 8-9 hours of sleep. That will probably be better for me than anything.

'Night all...

Joanne
