STS first time!

Good Afternoon friends!

Jean---We have huluplus, netflix, antenna....and you can download all kind of apps to the tv....so I go on youtube and all kinds of stuff...it is actually neat. This dates me....but I love this channel we get on the antenna...MeTV...it plays oldies..... I watched Green Acres @ 5:30-6.00 this morning. Then 6:00-6:30 Beverly Hillbillies Then 6:30-7:00 is my favorite Petticoat Junction. hehehehe also another favorite which is on another free channel is Mr Ed from 6:30-7:00 am....I am loving it....these are prefect shows to watch while getting my morning cardio in! When I had Satalite....we had over 250 channels and never anything to watch...it was B/S.....Tim and I are loving our new tv watching journey....:D

Colleen---Hope you feel better! Rest...is the best medicine!

Carolyn---Thats wonderful she passed!!! Have fun food shopping!

Been very busy today....will check in later! :)
 
Carolyn--- the medical terms.... gets very confusing....there should be one test to have done...that would answer all questions...but the insurance companies would not pay for it if there was one. At least at the moment...you got good news...but on the other hand no answers..so frustrating!!!

Off to my second job....hopefully I will only be there for an hour....that way I can go home and do hardstrikes!!! Lol
 
Good evening...just got home....i worked from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm today!!! Omg....crazy!!!! I like to work as little as possible....lol

I didnt get my evening workout in tonight...looks like tomorrow...i will have to kick into high gear!!!!

:)
 
Jean, I can't believe how cold it is where you are! It was mid-20s here today too.
I'm sorry about your mom's setback. She's a strong woman though, and will be all right.
How kind of the man to give you SS earrings! What a lovely gift! You do wear earrings, right?
I would think that DH wouldn't be able to live without the NFL network and such. We didn't think we'd survive without ESPN and NESN but we have:D!
Safe travels to your sister's/mom's. Well wishes to your mom.

Carolyn, I agree with Missy that DH's news is good, but it is frustrating that there's nothing definitive. The all-clear doesn't jive with what he had been experiencing.:confused:

Marie, how's work going? That's some frigid weather you're getting, far worse than us.:confused:
Do you watch this home improv show called Hometime (based in MN, for those who don't know)? Man, DH & I watched over 20 years of that, but in the past many yrs our local PBS doesn't carry it any more. Loved it! We watch This Old House religiously too.

Colleen, great job getting some lighter exercise in, even though you couldn't breathe! If I woke that early, you can be sure I'd fall right back asleep. So not a morning person. But the breathing thing is definitely a problem, as well as being restless, maybe thinking about work:confused:. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Missy, you've probably earned enough for your sunglasses. Nice work!

Sleep well, all!:)

Good morning ladies...up and on the treadmill!!

Last night I watched footloose...hehehe

I also got my new shoes yesterday!! I love them... i am breaking them in right now!!! They are bright green....so cute!

Betty--- my husband and I watch the home improvement shows too...i just love them!!! I remwmber watching them even when I was a child!!! Lol...

Check in later! Have nice wednesday!!!
 
Are for the weather...it is freezing herw too....it is in the high 20's.... aweful! These are days I wish I didnt have to get out of bed....just want to stay under the blankets!!!

I know its much cold in your northern cities...but for us southerners....this is too cold!
 
Good morning girls!

Jean, I am sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she recovers quickly.

Carolyn, I completely understand an feel your frustration. Very similar to my own stomach issues. That us great news that all the tests came back good. How crazy would that be if it really is a pulled muscle??

Not feeling any better today. Ive got the cough and full congestion. I fell asleep on the couch at 8:40 last night. I was wide awake to workout this morning. I did ballet body again and then did a great stretch afterwards.

Missy, what a long day you had yesterday. Great job on your morning workout.

Betty, I think the restlessness is due to not feeling well. Just can't get comfortable sleeping.

I've got to get a move on it. Just finishing my coffee and need to shower.

BBL.
 
It is 9 here this morning. Missy, love the shoes.

Carolyn, forgot to say that I'm glad your daughter passed the hearing test. How frustrating though with the audiologist.

Must get ready now.
 
Buon giorno! It is 10 degrees in my town:eek:! Going to hibernate at home. Tomorrow is more of the same, or colder! Oh, the frigid depths of winter!

Carolyn, hope you get Foundations very soon to try, and it helps with your insomnia! Enjoy PT.

Missy, that's cold!:eek: For southern GA!?
New year, new fitness gear;)! Are those Saucony?

Colleen, I feel for you! Sounds awful, the cold you have:eek:! Can you take some zinc (duration) and garlic (antibiotic for cough) supplements?

It'll be AOLIH this am, or whatever it's called.
 
Yes...Saucony Ride 5....my bright pink ones I love so much...I just bought the same different color. They fit my feet like a glove. I bought my pink ones from the local running store for $110.00 plus tax.... just bought these for $85.00 free 2 day shipping no tax! What a deal!!! :D

I have different shoes for different activities....

Saucony for running
Brooks for Cathe DVD's

:p

As for this aweful cold weather....I have said this time and time again...but I am saying it again....

You can cool off in the summer...but in the winter the cold is painful..... I will take a 100 degree day anyday over these cold temps...My day started off wrong....walking the dog...freezing my butt off thinking my hands were going to shatter, they hurt to touch anything...I felt like my bones were cracking...I was so freakin cold! Come out sun....I need my warm temps back!!!!
 
Hello!

Hard Strikes again this morning, followed by Core#2. I think core 2 is harder than core 1. This week seems very much like last week in the 90 day rotation, but looking ahead I see tabatacise, which I have not tried yet and am really looking forward to. I am not sure how it will be at 5:30 in the morning though. I have noticed, now that I've switched my workouts to early morning, I am not as flexible as I am later in the day.

Colleen, I hope you start feeling better. The woman sitting next to me at work is sniffling and snorting with her cold. I have tried so hard not to get sick this winter, I wish she would work from home!

Carolyn, sorry about the insomnia. I have had bouts of it as well and it seems like my days are never productive when I don't get enough sleep.

We have a meeting tonight at the high school to talk about the college admission process. This whole thing seems kind of overwhelming to me. Betty, I forget how old your oldest is - have you gone through this yet?
 
Hi all! It's freezing and bitterly cold:eek:!

I think I'm posting the 5,000th post!;) And it's almost my 500th post!:D

I did AOLIH with BS Shoulders, the only body part I haven't touched yet since starting XT. I started out selecting the premix with Core #1 but didn't want to do it! So I put in Ab Circuits Pilates. Yay. I feel more in control of that one now that I'm more experienced with Cathe's LIS and CF/TTM and XT.
Hmm, my knees & back feel it today......

Mary, I have gone through the college application process already, DS1 being a sophomore in college. Ugh, not fun. Ask me questions when you have them. You'd be surprised at how much I've forgotten already;). It all heats up in senior year, so you've got some time.
Tabatacise is as you imagine, high intensity fun with jumping.
I just remembered that there's Barre somewhere in XT. Have not come across it yet.
Your coworker should have stayed home:mad:!

Hey Girls, Good Morning!

Wow, that is cold Betty!!

Feeling slightly better this AM, although I was exhausted this morning and decided to sleep in. My head is still really congested. I feel guilty, but I know it’s better for my body…
I ended up taking the day off from work yesterday too.

Mary, I hear you on the work from home thing. I've sent several of my employees home to work from home or take the day off. I don't want germs in the office.

Carolyn, that specialist sounds great. Are you still going to go to the podiatrist or just this specialist? What's the name of the place?

Hi Jean and Missy.
 
Good Morning! I was up and on the treadmill at 5:30 this morning.... Pulled up to the office to 28 men lined up for there exams....yes it was a busy morning! I am exhausted!!!

Looking forward to friday! I sure need a weekend! :D
Going to grocery store on my way home tonight....then cook dinner, eat, at workout!!!!

I am trying to think of a good fun movie to watch this weekend....any suggestions?
 
Carolyn and Colleen, being experienced in spinning, what do you think of this bike? NordicTrack GX 5.5 Sport Indoor Cycle

There is also this review: NordicTrack GX5.5 Sport Indoor Cycle Review

Carolyn, I remember you said a minimum of a 40-lb flywheel is necessary and this one has 48. What about the resistance knobs, caged pedals, and handlebars? Since you've done both CM and Ride, these are the features I'm concerned about. I know I'll get serious saddle sores:eek: in the beginning and will need to add on a gel/padded seat. The electronics issue, DH could fix like that one reviewer said.

We used to have a NT skier and it seemed to be well-built.

TIA!
 
Good Afternoon.....just received a call from the Dr I am helping after hours....and they want me to stop by after work....said it will on take a few....I am hoping 1 hour or less....I want to workout!!!!! :D

Also.....I had to call the phone company for the office and while I was on the phone...I said lets pull my acct up....I want to lower my bill.....and BOOM....just lowered it $32 a month....hehehehe :D I texted Tim...and he said Oh good...we can eat now.....Crazy man!!! I said...I know...look at me....I am just bones! LOL

Laughter is the best medicine! :p

Any recommenations on movies????? I am really starting to enjoy watching movies....it is relaxing....I have never had time to watch movies....but I am trying to make time...at least 2x a week.....

Also.... I am still being good....I havent weighed since last Friday....I am going crazy....I am trying to get in the mindset of....who cares what the # is? I look good in the mirror....but after weighing several times a day for so long....it is kinda hard. Yes I was addicted!!! But we are kicking that addiction!!!! :D

Okay...must finish coding.....chat later!
