STS first time!

Good morning! Thankfully its friday! I have to work front desk today! :(

On the elliptical....maybe I can do 30 minutes?????

I have an appt today at 4:15 with chiro!!!

Hope everyone has a lovely day!
 
Still snowing and no school today! Trying to decide if I should/can drive into work.

Missy, good luck at chiro!
 
Morning!!! Happy Friday!!!

Busy day today, but glad it's Friday.

Missy good luck at the chiropractor today. How are you feeling?

Mary, drive safe if you go in. Hopefully you can just WFH. That's what I am doing today. Although we didn't get any show.

Today was lower body segments from ballet body. 4 LB segments and I still have to do my abs. I'll squeeze that in sometime today.

I sleep so good last night. I was exhausted. I hd a hard time getting up but once I did I was ready to workout. I can't wait to do some yoga this weekend. I really need to stretch out good.

Jean, my goodness you sure are tackling the house full steam ahead. I'm sure you will so so relieved once it is all over.

Marie, how is B feeling?

Betty, how are you holding up? Feeling better after yoga yesterday?

Carolyn, did your cacciatore taste better yesterday? I find that Italian dishes always taste better the second night.
 
Good morning! School snow day was called at 6 am so we slept late. I feel so rested. Swishing my oil now. Off to exercise soon! Man, homemade bread and soup!!! Maybe I'll get DS to make cookies or something!
 
Carolyn, I hope you like the coconut oil because that's a mega jar!:D I didn't think I would but I'm appreciating all its subtle qualities. Did you read some of the reviews? People use it to fry eggs, as butter on their toast, wash their face or hair, moisturize their bodies... Amazing! I'm not there yet! I have oily combo skin on my face and can't imagine rubbing that on!:confused: Can't imagine rubbing it on arms and legs either. My inner clothes would get all oily. I saw a giant jar at Costco last week but didn't buy it. Maybe later...
Get thee to Travis, now! He'll stretch out that neck pain!
Did your birthday pass already?

Colleen, glad you had a restful sleep. What a difference that makes!

Missy, good luck at the chiro! Enjoy Tim's opening tomorrow.

Mary, hope you are able to work from home.
Our shores have been taking a massive battering this winter from all these snowstorms and high tides!:confused:

DS has the ingredients for cookies out, thawing. What was I thinking?? We have lots of tin cookies open! I'm trying to get him away from the computer for a couple of hours. Anyway, I said he better not come down at 4 pm to start making it and get in my way when I need to prep dinner or something!

Still snowing with light, fine flakes, not much wind. Beautiful out.
 
Carolyn, I can't wait to hear what else you use coconut oil for and the results! I'm too chicken to try out other stuff yet.
That's a great question: I scoop out one tbsp, and since it's in its solid state I often wonder how much of a difference there is vs. scooping it in its liquid state.
Anything with curry tastes delicious!
Happy Birthday tomorrow!:D;) So young still!
 
Carolyn, do you have any plans to celebrate??? Did you get some yoga in today?

Betty, great job on KPC. What type of cookies is DS making? Glad your neck is feeling better.
 
When I went out to get the paper this morning I realized it would be crazy to try to drive in to work, so I am working from home. My girls are starting to make cookies too, which I am ok with if it gets them away from the TV.

Carolyn, Happy Birthday a day early! Still young!
 
Rhythmic Step this morning. At work now and waiting for the clock to show 3:30 so I can go home and be with my boys. Miss them!

B is feeling a bit better. He is still stuffy but his cough is gone thank goodness. My poor little man. I haven't worked out since Monday. It was a combo of me feeling guilty for working out while B was sick and just being lazy. He slept plenty so I could have just put him in his crib and let him sleep but oh no I held me alllllll day. It was very relaxing to just snuggle with him. I read magazines and watched Friday Night Lights. It was a nice 4 days but man did I feel lazy. Oh well!

I preordered :) PUMPED for all of the new workouts but especially the step ones :)

More good news.... Tony and I got approved to take vacation from May 3rd to the 10th. We are headed up north for his Grandpa's bday party that first weekend and then are thinking, wait for it...Puerto Rico baby! Stoked!!! We just wanted to go to the beach and have never been there so we thought why not. Has anyone been there? Recommendations? I'm so excited to take B to the beach for his very first time! Happy happy mama!

Coconut oil :) Yup I have used it on my hands and it works wonders. They are so dry usually and it really helps to moisturize. I'm with you on the face though Betty- I'm Italian with extra oily skin. No way it's going near my face.

Mary- Glad you decided you work from home. Hope you still have your pj's on :)

Carolyn- Happy early Birthday! Your curry soup sounds amazing! Love me some curry!

Betty- Way to go on KPC. Enjoy some cookies for me. All this cookie talk makes me want to go home and make some.

Colleen- Nice job on Ballet Body :)

Missy- Glad you went to the chiro. Do you feel like it helped? Hope you're feeling better. I as well get down when I can't/don't workout.

Jean- Sounds like you're busy with the house. It's going to be amazing when it's done :)
 
Good Evening! Just got home! I have been crazy busy today! I worked front desk...so no time to check in!

Went to chiro today..... cracked me...LOL...I moved alot today! Which is good! He also checked my knee since it is the only problem today...the pain is localizing again to that once area....BTW...my knee has now been hurting for 9 days....he moved my knee all around, and checked it....he says he can actually feel inflamation around my knee cap on both sides...the whole time he was moving and bending my leg around my knee was popping....crazy! Wants me to wear a knee brace (only when on the elliptical) he thinks that may be starting the problems with it...because I feel it most on the elliptical. Never do I feel the pain on the treadmill. Also wants me to conitnue with the ice. I may stay off the elliptical for several weeks and see.... Also, he recomends if the elliptical is my issue....biking or spinning....depends on what my body can handle...everyone is different. He says some with bad knees can handle different machines...he cant say yes or no for a specific cardio type...it is basically trial and error. All I now is I am misrable with knee pain....it causes my bones to hurt. Bone pain is aweful! Also, he did show me some stretches to help with my pelvic issues. He recommends stretching 3 times a week. Also....incorporating some stretching into my fitness regimen to gain flexability will definately help me! He said I in great shape....with plenty strength..so that is not my issue. Also, alot of this goes back to an old back injury.....he said I will always have to be careful....only do what I know my back/pelvis/knee can handle...car accident many years ago ...caused massive back injury! So, my chiro knows me well.....

I will be back....chores to do...and then off to the store....Tim wants a new shirt to wear tomorrow!! :)


Jean---I may watch it when it is on Netflix??? Is it a new movie??? I love scarey movies!

Also...HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLYN!!!!!! Eat a big piece of cake! You so deserve it!

Marie---Spend all the time you can with little B....you workout hard all the time....your little man loves the snuggles!

Hello to everyone else and thanks for asking about me...It means alot!

Be back!:p
 
Happy Birthday Carolyn!!!

I was up at 6:30 this morning....getting Tim out the door.....so I already did my morning workout! I did Cardio Supersets (premix----25 min) starting out small with modifications....but I feel good that I could actually do something. Now I am off to publix, bank, and tehn home to wash my car! After all my chores are done...I will be heading to the open house!:eek:

Have a nice Saturday!!! I am swamped today!
 
Happy Birthday, Carolyn! And maaaaany mooooore!

We made brown sugar cookies yesterday. So. Much. Butter.:confused:

Got about 14" of snow. It's sunny today and we haven't seen the sun since Monday. Should hit upper 40s--yay!!

Dinner with two girlfriends tonight! Can't wait.
 
Marie, so awesome about Puerto Rico! Never been there. Did Mary go last spring? Or did she say she wants to go this spring?
 
Happy Saturday everyone! Carolyn, I hope you are having a great day.

This morning I did XT Ch, Back, and Shoulders.

We have never been to Puerto Rico but are planning a trip over April vacation. We are staying at the Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa A Wyndham Grand Resort, it looks like it has a nice beach. So today I took youngest 2 DDs bathing suit shopping. They like Delias clothes but there was still alot of trying on and off before buying. It was exhausting!

My oldest DD had SATs this morning, so when she gets home we are going Prom dress shopping with her friends. I hope I can make it through, I am not a shopper!

Missy, I hope the Open House went well!
 
I did cycle max today.

Carolyn, what a great combination of a workout today. Nice presents from your mom. Sounds like you are having a good day so far.

DD ad DS had swim lessons today. We were going to go out to lunch afterwards but DS had a meltdown so we came home. I think he got water in his ears. Poor guy. He's taking a nap now.

Mary, that sounds great.

I like to shop but my taste is too expensive so makes it not fun for me because I hate spending too much money.

DH and I went to a resort in Mexico last year. It was wonderful and I don't like crowds either and we are not very social people either.

Missy, I hope the open house goes well today. Did Tim find a new shirt?
