STS first time!

Marie, b us such a doll baby. Can't believe he is five months. Sounds like you had a great trip. When I do yoga on the weekend I tend to get distracted too. It's hard to tune out whats going on around you. My kids are older and they always want to do yoga with me.

So I am officially sick. It started last night ad now I'm running a fever. What ever dd had is making its rounds. So no workout for me today. I hate being sick.

Feel better soon! Rest up!

Thanks so much! He is quite the love!
 
Just finished Hard Strikes incl Bonus Heavy Bag. The latter didn't break me a sweat or get my heart rate up. At least I tried it out.
Making oatmeal now. Hungry. bbl

Nice workout!

You have me craving XTrain!

I'm so over STS! I need to pound it out though just so I can say I did it!
 
Went for a walk this a.m. I ran in a few spots! I know I know...stupido! I just couldn't help myself. I am headed dow for some weights now. I am starving! I had a fried egg with spinach,on a ww round at 8:00. I feel like I havent eaten in a week!:eek:

Your walk sounds lovely! You daredevil! So hard to try and not push it right?!
 
Marie, thanks, my tummy was better than yesterday but still so puffy uncomfortable today. I wonder if it's the daily lemon juice in water that's doing it. It has happened before, years ago. I've been doing the lemon thing for a couple of weeks now, and it just cropped up yesterday. I have all these meyer lemons in the fridge and they're so juicy.
Hang in there--STS is at light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel time! Then XT in no time!
Hard Strikes has too many jumping jacks! It was filler material and not likeable.
You and Tony will arrive to the right juncture when you decide on another baby. Don't sweat it now--B is too young!
Oral health is so crucial. A friend of mine swears she had been feeling unwell for the five yrs since her root canal, so she went to a holistic dentist and removed it. And feels so much better. She's the one who has done OP and recovered from her oral surgery very well with it. I brush and floss daily and still have plaque, tartar, inflammation. Can't wait to see what they think after OP;).
So true that you make more friends with other moms. Wait till B starts school!
Don't beat yourself up for not working out. Remember, you don't have to do it everyday to get results, and missed time with B can't be retrieved!

Missy, you've got an appt with the desired dentist, right? That's great. Don't go back to the other one with the substandard work! Maddening! Good luck!

Colleen, have you any coconut oil? I thought I read that people got rid of their congestion with OP. Although it would be hard to breathe if your nose is totally stuffed, and your mouth is swishing oil.;) I do hope you feel better pronto.

Carolyn, can you believe another storm?? I'm so done with snow. This time around your area looks like it'll get more than mine. You can snowshoe some more!
Don't beat yourself up for trying the running. It has been a reasonable amount of time, and now at least you know.
The OP is supposed to help your sleeping. I sleep like the dead anyway so it's hard to tell.;)

Wassup, Jean and Mary!

Buona notte, mi amici!
 
Rise and shine! Last night I was busy....but I squeezed everything in.

On the treadmill....speed walking....getting some last minute training for my 5k on saturday!!!

Yes my dentist appt is with the good dentist....its at 2 pm....i am sure they will tell me I need lots of work. They always do....I feel like you Marie...brush and floss and still get tooth crap! Its crazy!

Carolyn--- i hope your knee is feeling better. Dont be down on yourself for trying...but now you know!

Check in later.....

Oh btw....anyone watch biggest loser finale? I sure did....and I am so happy with the winner....dont want to spoil it if you havent watched!
 
As for my workout last night....it felt great to do a sts workout! I forgot how much I love lifting weights!

Good morning!

Another snow day today, I am so tired of this! Our snow blower died after the last storm, so we will have to borrow the neighbor's today after they are done. I am not even trying to go out, so I will work from home today.

I had a little extra time this morning so I could do all of Cardio Leg Blast. It felt really good today.

Missy, good luck at the dentist. I take good care of my teeth and floss and do everything they tell me, but I still get plaque and have to go for a cleaning every 3 months. I'm always afraid they're going to find something!

Colleen, hope you're feeling better. I don't think I'll do the 108 day UY rotation, I would miss my other workouts. I'm going to aim for 3 yogas a week, alternating with cardio. We'll see how it goes. I have never done that much yoga but want to see if I can get that yoga relaxed feeling people talk about, and sleep better.

Marie, B is so cute and looks so alert in the pic. And don't worry about the next one yet!

Carolyn, when I read your post about your TJX finds I headed over to the one near here. I did not find a thing! I don't do well shopping where everything is thrown together, I feel like is it too much stuff.

Hi Betty and Jean!
 
Mary- i feel the same way about clutter shopping. I hate it! I like to walk up to a rack and grab my size...lol...my husband laughs at me....because i hate clutter!!! I would rather pay more! Lol
 
Good morning!

Feeling slightly better. Another rest day today. Tomorrow I need to get my but in gear. Too many rest days over this month.

Marie, it took us well over 2 years before we were ready for another child. I think it's hard going from 0-1 but going from 1-2 was easy. At least for me once we were ready it was easy. You will know when you are ready.

Mary, I'm not a fan of clutter shipping either. Glad you enjoyed your workout today.

Missy, good luck at the dentist today. I had one dentist that every-time I went in I had another cavity it something wrong. When we move to pa and switched dentists, in 7 years, I have not had one issue....
 
Okay....I have to tell you what I ate for dinner last night.

I roasted a chicken....cut the breast into strips....melted a 1/2 piece of deli sliced boars head low sodium provolone cheese on top, crumbled up a piece of bacon on top and then drizzled pats bbq sauce ontop. Had oven roasted fresh asperagus on the side...oh it was so yummy!!!

Tonight, we are having a new york strip steak (grilled), with oven roasted asperagus and steamed carrots. Yum!

Just thought I would share my dinner menu.....;)

Errand time....be back after my dentist appt...I am sure I will have some venting to do...on how much money this is costing me! LOL
 
Good day ladies!
Another snow day! We have about 6 or 8", and it is sleeting right now. Carolyn, did your kids get a snow day?

Missy, your dinner last night sounds divine!
I am a few episodes behind in Big L but I know from your tone who must have won!

Everyone's descriptions of your oral experiences at the dentist is supposedly what OP addresses! Has anyone done any reading on it?? There is also a brief post in Cathe's forums, which is where I first heard of it. And no, I'm not a salesperson for coconut oil!;) Unfortunately it'll be about 3 months before I can hear my dentist rave about my teeth!;) There were years many yrs ago when I had to go to the dentist every 3 months as well to keep the stuff from building up on my teeth. I have to floss religiously. Wish I had known about OP then. But honestly, the things I've experienced are nothing short of miraculous for me. This morning I woke thinking I might OP a second time before bed as well.

I am a picker too and that's why I love TJM and Marshalls. I think of these stores as like a flea market, but with new merchandise. You never know what you'll find! Even stuff you absolutely don't need:D.

For those with Netflix, I watched the most amazing production of Phantom of the Opera the other night! Does anyone like that? Twenty years ago I saw it in London and I have a fondness for the UK versions of it. Anyway, this production is a 25th anniversary performed at the Royal Albert Hall. So incredible!!! Mind-blowing, if you like the music! 2 hrs 40 mins, with appearances at the end by Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford and others who have played those roles!
How about Coldplay? A separate film of an hour of excerpts from their 2012 world tour. Amazing!

Carolyn, that giant jug of coco oil is calling out to you! My same sis said the other night that she thought I had a tanned face. Imagine! In pasty winter! And that my face looks different in a great way.

I should go and do Travis. Oh, and UY is back down to the 'normal' price. Phew.
 
What would I do wothout my phone?????

Sitting at the dentist office....waiting....

I always get nervous at the dentist....why....i dont know....i just dont like dentist!

Bbl!!!
 
Carolyn, did I miss the part where you decided on Florida??
Try vrbo.com for places to stay; we used that for Italy. My CA sis has used it for Tahoe.
TTOM ALWAYS happens on my vacation. How perverse is this universe?! 25% chance! I should win the lottery for its certainty!
Do OP after you brush and floss;) before bed then.

Missy, hope it went well at the dentist. I love how responsive the office is.
Watching Big L 2nd to last epi now. What are they going to air in its place?? It used to run till May!

Colleen, cleanse that cold out of your body with some yoga if you can. I did Foundations 1 for the second time and really look forward to UY someday.

Me want cupcake!!!
 
So i made it thru the cleaning... i got back thursday @ 11 for the filling. I am not looking forward to the needle....i hate needles and i hate the numbness....i would rather be sick than have to get numb.

I did my evening chores.....

Off to soak in the tub....i am really tired tonight! I may even go to bed early tonight!

Be back soon.......
 
Good Morning my fit friends!

Checking in with my cardio this morning. Tonight is Disc #2

At work....and working hard....mildly stressed about my dentist appt tomorrow. I literally and terrified of the numbing.....oh so scared! Tim says I will be fine....but he isnt getting the needle...I am. :confused:

It was nice and warm yesterday....I was loving it. Today....is is cold again...what is this????

gotta run...be back
 
Good morning girls.

Not feeling much better. But I did get a workout in. Yeah!! I did a total body ballet body which was 2 upper body and 3 lower body segments. I started abs but only got through a few minutes.

Carolyn, how exciting that you will be going to fl. Any luck on finding a place?

Missy, I hate Novocain shot as well, but its over quickly.

Quick check in BBL.
 
Okay ladies.....I am here to complain....

1. My monthly monster came today...and let me just say she is not being nice today....I am cramps like you would not beleive....I wish I was at home....under a blanket is all I can say....they are horrible....

2. My periods have been a breeze for at least 6+ months....now that I have decreased my exercise regimen...the aweful cramps are back. All I can say is I will increase my workouts back...because this is aweful. I cant handle this pain. I just want to scream the pain is so bad. Next month will NOT be like this....Back to the 1 1/2 to 2 hrs a day I go.

Okay...now that I have vented....

Colleen---I hope you feel better quickly. It is amazing you did want you did feeling so bad....you should pat yourself on the back. Rest the rest of the day...and maybe tomorrow you will feel good! :)
 
BTW....Tim had just mentioned the other day..... your periods have not been bad in forever....he use to be able to tell me when I was going to start my period...now he has no clue....But I have been moaning in pain since last night....not good!!!! The long workouts are so worth it when they make your periods a breeze!

TMI---I know...but you girls are the only ones that would understand.

:confused:
 
I always use Advil during my first day or two as I get cramps too. I couldn't get through it with out Advil.

I am working from home today so I did sleep in until 6:40 and I worked out after I got DD on the bus. I just needed the workout to mentally feel better. It did help.

Carolyn, are you using any travel sites like Expedia or Travelocity to help you with your search? Hotels.com is another.
 
Missy, relax when you get on the dentist chair. Breathe slow, deep breaths through your nose. The needle pinch will be very quick. Would you consider taking an anti-anxiety from your docs?
I watched the rest of Big L. What was up with Danni's hairstyle on the finale??:confused: She was like from space or the 80s or something! Couldn't place my finger on it. Hideous. The one who looked the most awesome is ?Lisa, the mom of 4 who is a special ed teacher. She was smokin'.
That's too bad with the exercise and cramps correlation!

Carolyn, I do the same thing, look at the same stuff over and over.:confused: I'm just not that organized. Wish there were a way to check them off in the site and make notes on it.
Bummer for your knee! Keep babying it then.

Colleen, good job getting exercise even when you're feeling lousy!

I did To The Max Extreme. I'm impatient with Cathe's heavy-duty jumping workouts nowadays.:confused:

Jean, need to hear from you!
