Well, ladies, unfortunately I am back to hating my job. A few unnecessary comments were made to me yesterday at work that left me feeling unappreciated and wondering if I really want this glorified paperwork job for the rest of my life. It just sucks that if I quit and did something part time, I would make half the money with no benefits. Is it really worth $75 a day to be home when Collin gets off the school bus next year? And then there is the thought of another baby to REALLY complicate things, LOL!
Either way, I have to go to work today (and tomorrow, etc) so I need to make the most of it.
Kate, next year when Collin goes to K he will go for the full day - 835 to 3-something. I don't know whether I will drive him or have him ride the bus. You can't drop kids off at the school until 8 am which makes it difficult for parents who have to be at work at 8 am
Nina, yes, I read what you wrote Sunday about eating/drinking during runs. Where on earth do you stash 1/2 banana while you run, lol? My race will be offering gels at mile 8 so I think I may get some and start training with those. Hip hikes are... Imagine standing on the edge of a step with one or two risers, with one foot on and one off. Let your foot drop down, then shift back up (leg on the step does not move).
Robin, I meant 'weird' like stuff that interferes with my normal schedule. How is work going these days now that the back-to-school madness has subsided?
Colleen, there is no way I could go from 1230 to 730 without eating - I would chew my arm off! Definitely get a snack in there!
Becky, good going with CLX workouts these day, sorry about the denist saga!
Anne, we are happy to see you, funk and all!
Lisa, ^5 on 5 workouts last week! You've been busy with all this company!
Klaudia, the birthday dinner sounds delish!!
Angie, another visitor? I'm with Ryan - NEED my sleep or I am not fun to be around!
Off to the TM - 4 miles on the training log today!

Katie, WTG on the 4 miles this morning! I considered waking up early today - but then I rolled over and went back to sleep!
You've got a dilemma for sure w/ the work/childcare issue. You'll know the right decision when the time comes. ((((hugs))))
Lisa! Did you check in last night? Will go read over and peek!

The girls did FANTASTIC yesterday and are both super excited for the day today. I am SO RELIEVED!!!! Gina adores her teacher - yay! However, teacher is preg so I'm nervous we'll get a rotten sub or maybe even cool teacher will be a SAHM. No need to fret about it tho....
WO will be L&G @ 1PM!
Need to get movin' on my mornin'!

Good Morning !
I am determined that today will be a better day ! Yesterday was BAD!
I ended up NOT going back to get my crown, the dentist was unable to fix it, so I go tomorrow morning to restart the whole process of preparing for a crown. They said plan on a 2 hour appointment.
That leaves me with a temporary for another 3 weeks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT.
at least TODAY I am DENTIST FREE ! ha
I had other stressful things going on , so last night I did an iCYCLE ........rode 15 miles and sweated off the stress !!!! It WORKED!!!!!
Today is another CLX workout, Burn it off and Recharge ?? I don't even know what that is !
I need to add in abs, which I feel are lacking.
Anyway, have a good one !!!

Morning!
Party was a success-everyone loved dinner and ate almost everything up! Had a sliver of cc cookie with a tiny scoop of ice cream-no other treats yesterday. My only gripe is the fact that my mil buys the girls clothes that are huge!! She bought Milla size 10s! And Danica 12s and XLs! They need clothes for now not next year! Now I have to go exchange everything-lucky it's all form Macy's and the receipts are built in. I did CTX Step and Intervals and was spent when I finished-haven't done step in a long time. Not sure on today-total body or upper only. Nothing else on tap except sheets and some more cleaing-blech.
Katie, I'm sorry you're dealing with work issues. Darrin's been feeling the same way for a while now-he's dreading the snow season and keeps talking about starting his own company which scares me to death-he's our only income! I hope you can come to a resolution that let's you do a job you love with the hours you want.
Becky, wow! Great job working off the stress!
Kate, hooray on the great day! Makes things so much easier when they like school L&G sounds good!
Be back after the bus!

Thanks ct ladies for advice with my DD and you are right she does need me but in different ways. It's ok I still have my DS and DK (dear kitty).
Katie sorry about the work drama and sometimes it's hard to get good criticism at work but it is needed. Worry about next year when it gets here. IMO. Work is crazy they call me when they need me but how in the world do people pay their rent when they don't work a regular schedule. Thx God for my DH life insurance. At Penneys we are getting Christmas stuff in YAY.
Kate yay I'm glad the girls are doing well at school. 1pm workouts.... our baby is so good to you
Becky booo to the dentist...Dr. Pain Good going with de-stressing. Recharge is yoga.
Klaudia I'm glad the party went well. I'm glad that your can exchange the cloths. Penneys will let you exchange even if you don't have receipt. I think every store should be that way.
This moring I'm feeling a little sick like I'm coming down with a cold. My throat and ears feels like they want to start allergy season.
I think I'm not ready for Meso2. I may just do Meso 1 for 8 weeks with classical stretch (Kate you will luv them).

Good Morning Everyone!
Today's workout was Max Cardio Conditioning and a 15 min run. The phase 1 cardio conditioning was a little easier than the rest but there were parts of this workout that really challenged me. I am really tight despite the fact I spent extra time stretching this morning. I am wondering if my PMS is making my muscles tighter. I really want to do some UB tonight but I have a work happy hour so we'll see if I can leave early to squeeze in my workout.
Katie, sorry about your work frustration. I know you have some big decisions ahead of you but everything will work out in the end.
Kate, glad everyone had a great first day at school.
Becky, sorry about the crown drama. I hope you can get it all worked out quick.
Nina, sorry about the fight last night. Hopefully today will be better.
Angie, did you get any sleep last night?
Klaudia, glad to hear the party was a success and ^5 for only having a sliver of dessert.

KLaudia, My stepmom does the SAME THING with clothes for the girls!! Except the clothes she buys are seriously 2-3 sizes too large! And she thinks they are going to wear them now - I don't get it.
Oh Sheet!!! I need to wash sheets too....
Robin, I DONT WANNA WAIT FOR CS!!!!
Sorry you're not feeling well! Yuck. You're likin' Meso 1 a bunch right now, I take it! I may start in October.
Colleen, Wish I had some help on the tightness/PMS....but I haven't had my period for almost 2 years now!!!! WAHOO!!!!! Another wonderful benefit of nursing, thank you Julia!!!
Hope you have fun tonight! Good lcuk w/ energy for UB!

Colleen you are tight...it's better than DOMS. I'm impressed that you can run and do insanity.
Kate you know there is more than one series. I have the last session.
I want to get my lazy butt up early in the morning and do CS for at least 5 days per week and then after work do STS. In the morning when I have to go work I won't have time to do weight work.

Nursing P then off for a run since the bed is still up in our workout/guestroom.
Katie - ((hugs)) I know how that can stink about work. Been there many times. I vote yes, it's worth staying home with your kiddos, but I also understand the money and benefits esp. if it is health insurance.
Kate - I'm so glad your girls are doing well with school! There has been no leftover bread so far, lol! I loathe ironing! Yay for little helpers!
Klaudia - My mom does the same exact thing when buying clothes for my kids and she shops at Macy's too, lol!
Robin - Sounds like a good plan on the workouts.
Colleen - DH saw the Insanity infomercial and wants to order it now. I so don't PMS and not looking forward to it either. Like Kate, yay for nursing!
Be back after my run. I am feeling super fluffy. Yuck! Hope this run helps.

my day is a roller coaster can you stand listening to me a gain? i slept in this am to make myself not run. low and behold my foot feels great too, but my mileage per week has been so high for so long, i feel like i should knock it back for a bit. so i got up and did abs and planned to go to the gym. dh and i were wordial and all was going well until we had another argument at lunchoh how i hate this! i just need a break from it all. so, good things - eats are squeaky, i went to the gym and did a variety of low impact cardio for an hour and did b and g standing work. i just hate this tension, and it makes me lonely being in a new place. to top it off, i did not get the job i interviewed for 2 weeks ago. at least my house did close today.
lisa, how was your run?
kate, you sound liek you are having a fabulous day! aidan is not a biter thankfully. i am now just nrusing once a day - btwn 4:30 and 5am usually. still no period, but i get the hormone surges anyways.
katie, sorry for the work dilema. i do not know what to say. i am a sahm right now, and i wish i could be forever. at the same time, i need to get a job. it is so hard. so glad your running is going well. are you pain free?
robin, great plan with the cs! i bet it feels good.
colleen, sorry for the tightness. be careful, though. is your body telling you something, or are you just working super hard?
hi becky - hope you are feeling better..
klaudia, glad last night went well. what rotation are you going to start?

I can barely type this! Just got done with P90X Chest and Back!! OMG! I don't even want to think about how sore I'm going to be tomorrow Felt so good to do a tough strength workout that I didn't even mind Tony that much Didn't get to all my chores, but I did order Milla some new bedding-inseparable sheets and a comforter cap-the sheets are attached-flat and fitted and the comforter has ends made like a fitted sheet to stay on a bunk bed-no more sweaty bunk bed sheet changing for me!! And she can make her own bed in the morning!! Made lots of phone calls too-doc appts, insurance, etc. Good stuff! Gonna take the girls outside for a bit before Darrin gets home.
For all you foodies, check out the OD-I posted some soup recipes I found while surfing the web today. Can't wait to try them!
Robin, starting off the day with a stretch sounds like a great idea.
Kate, Nevena took a 2 hour nap today when I wasn't ready to workout yet of course! Little stinker! I hope she starts waking up at 7 every morning Good job on L&G.
Nina, I agree with Kate-allow yourself time to adjust to things-major move, family issues, etc. I always wish for more time with Darrin, but I know if he were home more, he'd get on my nerves something fierce! And me him, I'm sure! Enjoy the time with your boys-they're only little once and it goes by too fast. Work is always there-in one way or another. Looks like I'm going to do P90X! Nothing else was calling my name. We'll see how long I last with Tony!

That bedding sounds wonderful! HATE making bunk beds!
Will check out your recipes!
What time does Nevena normally wake up? Our girls have always been early risers (7 is sleeping in!), but they go to bed early too.

Getting my school-year evening chores done.... Hope everyone is having a good night.
