Sleepy Peepys??

[elliemom]

Really doesn't any one else have a 4 year old training to be a rooster??? 5 am on the button this boy is up and raring to go. At least my 7yr old sleeps til six

Wendy- that virus is awful. It runs it's course alright but not until it runs over you like a mack truck!!!! You really need to rest and drink lots of fluids. And rest some more!!!! I know I sounded like a big baby last month but that was horrible, I have been a nurse for 20 yrs and been exposed to everything under the sun and this was the first one that brought me to my knees.
According to Dani though, it's nothing a little shot of Whiskey won't cure
.

Dani- i forget about the whole time thing. So it's what 2 am for you right now. Well no wonder I'm always looking for a PEEP thread in the early am and no one is here!!!! Okay, you can go back to sleep now. See you in a few hours

JJ- are you home from the mall yet?????
Was it crazy? Did you get what you needed???

Karin- I may try a Jillian Michaels. How do you like it?
NO WAY am I going shopping at 4 am. What could people need so badly?

Hi to all Peeps. I'll BBL to update
Have a great day

Good Morning Ellie and all the Peeps!

Well T-Day is tomorrow and this is the only time I have to be online. Still drinking tons of water and asking myself 'Am I really hungry?' Before I shove a food in my mouth. Stop and think attitude here thankfully my weight is remaining steady I just need to full up on tons of clean veggies now until T-Day is over oy!

Hope all have a great holiday

Ellie I never had any of my kids wake up that early or if I did they kept quiet in their rooms lol. Or perhaps they are like me - natural night owls Rest assured once they get into the teen years all they do is sleep

Vilma

The first day these 2 sleep in late I am turning on all the lights, blaring the radio, jumping on their beds and pulling the covers off!!! Sweet revenge!!!

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Ellie--LOL about your rooster training! My 1st DS (now 8) was an early morning riser when he was 2. But he has gradually slept later and later! Hallelujah. Now none of my 3 gets up before 7, unless something weird happens.

Today ended up being a rest day for me. I stepped funny on my ankle yesterday during the WARM-UP of Imax3. It wasn't bad, and I actually went on to do the whole workout with no pain. But then last night at bedtime it was kind of tender and swollen. So I iced it and decided to lay off today. The swelling went down immediately, and it's been great today. But I wasn't sure how it would do and didn't want to make it worse.

So . . . I've baked hard today and have most of my stuff lined up for tomorrow. So I think I can get up early and run before I have to hit the kitchen again.

And, hey, look at my posts! I went over 300 and turned into a Cathlete.

Guten Morgen, Peeps!

UGH, Ellie, you are so right about this virus! It just won't go away! I feel like I'm complaining WAY too much about it but I feel just like you did! Yes, I'm resting as much as I can, and I took Dani's advice (not about the whisky, LOL, but not exposing my family to it and letting them stay home tomorrow), I'm scaling back Thanksgiving prep, and I have not worked out since last week...I am drinking a cup of coffee right now but will chase that down with a glass of water....Sigh. I feel like a slug. If slugs had a tight chest, glossy eyes and congestion, that is...

Ellie--Ha, Houdini is JUST LIKE her father...slow to get up, crabby when she gets up, but whooo hooo ready to par-tay at night (when I'm struggling to stay awake at 9PM.) So I'm lucky because I can get up at five, workout, shower, get ready for work and she's blissfully asleep the whole time.

Vilma--Keep the veggie mantra going! LOL!

Laura--Hope the ankle feels better tomorrow. You are wise to rest it today!

Good morning, Peeps...

Today I did my yoga DVD this morning..love it!! This evening will do Drill Max Cardio.

Currently waiting for my rug to dry so I can vaccum it as we are getting ready for Christmas decorating early next week.

BBL!

 

[dbelden1]

WOOHOO!!! I'm an EARLY PEEP today!!!

Ellie: I don't have kids, but DH is up at 4am every morning, I just roll over and partially go back to sleep! This morning I was REALLY late as apparently I got into a dream and woke up 30 minutes past usual! So I feel your pain, somewhat... I crave the weekends when it doesn't go off, but then the puppy-clock is always not to far behind at 6am on Sat & Sun... girls gotta eat!

And I'm not sure not being able to remember is the same as forgetting lol! but pay backs were a bit*h! and they were self induced... oh well at least it was fun... Still trying to get the appltini OUT of my BLACKBERRY! friggin' waitress spilled our drinks one round all over us and the table ~ not sure who she was trying to impress with that boob shot (as our side of the table was all girls) but apparently loved to stick her butt in out for the other side! LOL! so my keys are all sticky and afraid to take it apart... will go another round on the alcohol (rubbing kind this time!) and a q-tip to see if I can get some more out!

Wendy: hope to hear you are feeling better, but like Ellie said, if it is anything like what she had and what has been going around lately, you may be in for a long haul! Take care of yourself first and foremost!

Vilma: very impressive on your conscious choices for eating... I think that I am a grazer so it doesn't really matter whether or not i'm hungry, I eat because i'm bored or emotional... After the holidays I am going to really buckle down and go for it! I know I would have much better success! You are very inspirational!

Laura: sorry to hear about your ankle! hope it was just a minor twist and you are well on your way to recovery. Take the day to get mentally prepared for tomorrow anyway... sounds like you are ahead of the game in that department anyway!

Karin: have a fantabulous day!

JJ: shopping BEFORE black friday? I'm not in any way getting geared up to go out on friday unless it is to the back yard!

Where's Catherine & Robin...

Happy Thanksgiving EVE!!!

 

[berry99]

Hi everyone. I'm just doing a quick check-in now so that I can get my work done and maybe live a bit early today. I think that tonight I am going to ride my spinning bike for my workout.

More later...

 

[dbelden1]

PS...

So apparently I took SO long to post this morning, that I missed two extra PEEPS!!!

Hi Jerry: I did DM last night! UGH! I'm feeling it today... all those lunges and pushups of every kind imaginable... I only managed a few reps of each, but modified as best I could (knees don't like all those regular lunges) with the stability ball and the wall like she does later... good job on the yoga and will expect a full report after DM tonite! even the cardio portion is killer!

Cheers!

Hi all!

Just peeping in quick to say HI. Sorry no time for personals. Today is DH's birthday and he decided to take the afternoon off so we could do some things together. Tonight we have dinner (where ever he decides) then we are going to the MN Gophers basketball game. I had hoped to squeeze in a KB class this afternoon but I would rather spend the time with DH and the kids.

Hope everyone has a great day!

JJ

PS..I survived the mall yesterday but only got one present

 

[Boilergal]

OK, Dani, I'm laughing about the appletini in the Blackberry. Houdini dunked DH's cell phone in milk last week and he had to get a new phone. Hopefully your Blackberry will not suffer the same fate!

Jerry--I'm very impressed with two workouts in one day before a holiday! You are a good multi-tasker.

Karin--What are you cooking for Turkey Day?

JJ--Go Gophers! Wow, we have multiple Big 10 fans here in the Peep Show! Karin & Robin like Penn State, you and DH are Golden Gopher fans and I'm the Boilermaker...

So here's what I've done today: Baked a pumpkin pie, rested. Made cranberry sauce...rested. Put together the Christmas tree (decided with Houdini at Grandma's, sick or not sick, this was a golden opportunity to do it)...laid on the couch for an hour. Now I'm finishing up a sweet potato pie...All that's left for Thanksgiving prep: slice bread for stuffing and toast it, roast sweet potatoes for gingered sweet potatoes, bake a pumpkin bread, pre-chop onion and celery. We'll see how tired I get. Some of this can be done early AM, too, so if I'm wiped before I have to get Houdini, I can finish it up before I have to put the turkey breast in...

 

[jloewe]

Wendy....you give me far too much credit..(but I'll take it, anyway, 'cause I'm greedy like that!) I have no children, wife works 13 hour shifts, and the hotel I work at is only open weekends at this point. So finding free time to exercise is no problem for me!

The official holiday season rule is now in effect in my home..since we're starting to decorate, and we have some fairly nice collectible pieces, there is no jumping for me, so Drill Max is out...so I did a Kick Max pre-mix this evening instead..I had forgotten how tough those leg drill are!!

Have a great night!
