Now girls...don't get down on yourself....a few bad eating days is okay....I made home made choc chip cookies at christmas...and lets just says...they are all gone...and I only have 2 people in my house....yes...all my extra pounds came from the cookies...but I enjoyed them. We all endulge from time to time....actually tomorrow night Tim and I are going to dinner with my running friend and her husband...we are going to mexican...yes YUM YUM.....oh so good, but oh so bad for ya! But sometimes you have to be bad!!!! I am getting up extra early tomorrow to try and get a few extra minutes of cardio in.

Carolyn---I really feel bad that your surgery did not fix your knee issue. I hope that over time you will be able to get back to the impact workouts....MODIFY everything to your ability and go with it....not everyone can be Cathe....I have a bad back...I modify...we all do.... HUGS... Don't turn it upside down ...... hehehe

I am tired...just finished CSS and then 40 minutes of elliptical....off to shower and go to bed! Good night my friends!

Thanks ladies! Love ya girls. Ya all make me feel so much better.

Carolyn- Man I sure hope that darn knee of yours gets better soon. How frustrating! Honestly how frickin long should it take to be full healed.

Missy- Glad I'm not the only one enjoying cookies Just had 2 YUM! And you're right it's ok to be bad every once in awhile.

Good Afternnon Everyone. No exercise here. I am really in moving mode. I think also I am really looking forward to Xtrain. I HOPE to be able to get into a rotation. I have been doing alot of packing and purging. I think I took my last donations yesterday. Just have a few odds and ends left. Last Sundays movie was "Dark Shadows" with Johnny Depp. This Sundays movie will be "Magic Mike".

Colleen Thanks for the new pic of Cuddles. She looks like a sweetie.

Carolyn I hope you feel o.k. after spinning today. If so , maybe you can make that your cardio since you appear to enjoy it. Happy Birthday to your son. I hope he had a fun party.

Missy Did you notice someone wrote a review of Hard Strikes under the New w/o's section? Since you are the only one of us with gloves you might find it helpful.

 

[marazoe]

There's also a review on Ride and Bis and tris on the Newest and Upcoming thread.
Everything sounds good. I'm very excited.

Hi friends. Happy Friday. So today I jumped on the xTrain and started with... Carolyn guessed it. Ride. It was a good workout. I am in a funk today and didn't workout until after lunch and I never have a good workout in the afternoon. It zaps all my energy. It's strange. I did 15 miles and burned 330 calories.

Carolyn congrats on cycle max. I think you will love ride too. Cathe did a counter so you know how long each song is and how long you have left. Very cool and motivating. I downloaded all the videos last night. I have no idea what I will do tomorrow. I don't even know if I will start a rotation right away. I'm feeling really blah today. My knee has been bothering me and my so tired of my stomach issues. Just feeling sorry for myself when there is no reason to.

I went out to lunch with a friend today. It was good to see her. Haven't seen her in about 6 months.

Wow Jean. Sounds like you are all ready to move. That's fantastic.

We are getting out piano tuned and it sounds so nice.

 

[missyt]

We all have those blah days Colleen. Good for you for working out even though your mood wasn't right. I am sure it helped in a small way. I know it always gives me a boost.
How frustrating your stomach issues must be. I am living it with my husband. The man is afraid to eat anything. I keep moaning about never being able to do Cathe again, and he shoots back with, atleast you can eat! We all have our problems I guess.
Sorry about the knee too. I can totally relate. When our bodies fail us, it is not easy to accept.
I hope you get your results soon and they can point you in the right direction.

Jean, it sounds like you are certainly prepared to move! when will you put your house on the market?

I am going to go read on the reveiws so far. I am hoping to get mine tomorrow!!!

PS: the sweater is hideaous!!!! It is HUGE and not the same bright colors as online! Now I can pay $9 to send it back!

Good afternoon....been very busy @ work. I had to get end of the month and than end of the year financials done....then take down all the christmas decor....i am mentally tired now!!!! But it is DONE! now i am off for 5 more days....then no more holidays till may.....but it sure is nice to have a bunch at the end of the year!!! I must love my job...because i told my husband last night...it sure felt good going back to work today!!! Hehehe

I just LOVE my job...my docs are the best!!!!

Onto other stuff...my monthly monster is coming...this may be tmi...but... i tend to apot brown blood for days prior to the actual flow...its weird. But i have to wear linees or lite tampon for fear...and then normally 2-3 days later i start and flow for 2-3 days. Its not too bad but...anoying....

Okay...this is funny...tim got me a digital picture frame...it is so neat...i set the timer to be on between 5 pm-9 pm...when we are home....everytime it comes on...the dog gets scared...i have to tell her it is okay!! Summer is such a chicken!! Hahaha

I got home a little early today so I am squeezing in a cardio session before we go to dinner!!! Crazy me!!

Caroyln--- do you think the sweater would sell on ebay and you could make money??? Also...high five on ride!!!

Colleen- so proud you squeezed in the workout even though you have funk today....i am sure you feel better now!!!

Jean- when do you move? I am super pumped for xtrain...i am ready for a rotation!!!

Chat later!!!

 

[missyt]

Missy, great minds think alike!!! I was thinking of trying on selling it, but I am not sure....sometimes it is just easier to return it. No hassle.
My period starts the same way!!! VERY annoying! and gross!

Enjoy your days off! so far so good...no knee pain. Tomorrow will be the true tell all. I have hamstring pain, but that was there already!
Have fun tonight at dinner!
ttyl

Maybe...its becauae we work out so hard???? Didnt have this when i was sedentary...lol....but at least my flow days are cut in half...ill take it!! Lol

You girls ... Carolyn and Colleen...all this talk of spinning...I am thinking of possibly trying it in a few months....THINKING!!! What the worse...i hate it and sell the spin bike on craigslist...hehehe

And yes great minds do think alike!!! I love selling on ebay...its like free money....hehehe

Jean- Nice job on getting ready to move. Excited for you! Carolyn- WTG on Cycle Max.....love that you got some cardio in. Missy- I love that you love your job. Me too. As much as I don't want to leave B when I go back I do love taking care of my patients. Enjoy that Mexican food tonight. Colleen- Nice job on Ride! I too am in a funk. Lazy and tired. No workout for me today! Tony was off so we just chilled this morning and are now running errands. We are at Kohl's now and I'm feeding B in the dressing room. Oh and speaking of periods...never tmi Missy! I've had mine for like a week now. I used to just get it very lightly for 3 days. I now have an IUD and have had it lightly for a week. Not sure if the longer length of it has to do with the IUD or not but either way I'm sick of it. It can go away now please! So annoying! Attached are a picture of B in his Christmas outfit and one of him on his new playmat. He loves he. Gets all kicky and is totally stimulated!

Marie--- B is so precious...i am glad you take lots of photos...neve stop...it is always nice to look back...and we always love seeing your little man!!! I looked into iud in past...that is normal...normally it gets better with time...and then eventually you will not have a period at all....hopefully that is the case!!

Gotta go shower...check back soon!!!

Thanks Carolyn and Missy. It so nice to have you girls. Working out did not help my funk. It usually does help but not today. We are also suppose to get snow tomorrow which I am not happy about. DH and I are suppose to go out while his sister watches the kids. It sort or our New Year's Eve celebration. I so hope we are able to go.

Carolyn the results came back and they were all fine. I tired some yogurt the other day and a cookie (no on the same day) and the yogurt went right through me and the cookie gave me the horrible stomach pains. So at this point I have to get back into the GI doctor and either have a CT scan or and endoscopy. Neither am I happy about because I don't think they are going to find anything....

Marie, Breklin is so adorable.

BBL.

 

[marazoe]

Missy Enjoy your Mexican food and your friends. I am sure you exercised enough today to have a nice dinner.

Marie Breckin is so cute. He is getting big . I love all of your pics and I save them all.

Carolyn I replied to that girls question.

Colleen I don't want to get sick or anything but I wish cookies gave me stomach pains. Then I wouldn't eat any. I am sure this is aggravating to you that the docs can't find out what is wrong. I hope you feel better.

We aren't moving until June but there is so much to do that I am glad I started early. The house won't go on the market until the new house is done. You can't sell a house with 6 dogs in it. My husband is going to stay here and work until the house sells. I will be all alone at the Ocean. WOOHOO.

My mailman doesn't come until around 4 pm and I didn't get Xtrain today. Hopefully tomorrow.

Good morning!!! Up and already busy....just sat and planned meals for the week...so now my grocery list is ready...on treadmill...then off to grocery shop! Then i have to take the tree down. Then we are heading to home depot....we have decided to put wood floors down in the next spare room. So we are gojng to buy supplies...so probably next weekend Tim can start that project....hehehe we had an entire extra box of flooring from last project...so we are going to go get more!! Very excited!! I am just a homey person...i just love home projects!!!

Okay...all warmed up...gotta get running....

 

[marazoe]

Happy Saturday Ladies. We are expecting about an inch of snow today then rain. It is grey but not real cold.
Have you guys gone to the w/o manager and looked at the premixes for Xtrain? OMG some of the w/o's burn 800 calories. I was never into the premixes so I wasn't aware that some of them burn more calories than just pushing play. I hope mine comes today.

[marazoe]

Missy We were posting at the same time. That is exciting about the floors. There is nothing like hardwood floors. Have fun.
It seems like each time you post you tell us of something else Tim got you for Christmas. You really cleaned up. No wonder you were so excited. I hope he made out as good as you. Enjoy your day.

Jean--- i was good to Tim...he got lots of gifts...basically...me buying him lots was a thank you...for always supporting all my fitness purchases....as you know...it adds up! I was not expecting everything he got me...he said he just wanted to reward all my hard work...because he is so proud of me!! It was very thoughtful!!!! I just love my husband!!

I did an hour on the treadmill this morning, went to grocery store, put all groceries away, cooked lunch, took down tree, and cleaned entire house...oh yeah!!! I'm on a roll....now resting for a few then off to home depot!!!

Check back soon!!!!

 

[missyt]

Carolyn & Colleen--- what do I look for in a spin bike? I know definately a monitor that tells time and diatance....but that all I know....I am looking to buy one in a month or so...maybe...if i can find a good deal. I probably would only use it once a week???? Any help and suggestions...I would appreciate!! Thanks!
