Carolyn, hang in there, you will all be fine! I sent letters to my kids and they got them closer to the end of the week, but they all had a blast. We did it in both 5th and 8th grades, and they really do keep the kids busy so they're not thinking of home so much. For most kids it is the highlight of the school year.
I did UY Cardio again today and I already saw some improvements in my strength. Love those workouts.
We had a new person starting at work so we took him out to an Indian restaurant for lunch. I don't usually eat that much at lunch, I am stuffed and need a nap!
Colleen, hope things went well at the dr.

Jean, that weather is a little too warm too soon for me! Phew! We had low 70s today. Gorgeous!
I hope Bentley doesn't have any serious issues. I'm sending him well wishes.
I often wish for a money tree
!
Mary, your school had camp in 5th grade too? So young!
So awesome you're seeing improvements with UY! You must be rocking a yoga bod!
Need. Some. Sleep.

Good morning.
I feel ya with the early morning walk up. I was wide wake at 4:30. I should of just gotten up then. When my alarm went off at 5 I didn't want to get up and I finally dragged myself out at 5:20. I did get in bb lower body segments today. I didn't have time for abs. So I will try to do that tonight.
As for the triceps dips. Yes, make sure you arms are aligned with you shoulder and try to keep you shoulders alway from your ears and just bend you elbows away from you but keep them close to your side. Does that make sense. Also just focus in form and not quantity. Once you get the form a d feel it in the triceps you can work on how many you do. I hop that makes sense.
Yes, i have been stressed out about work. Some employee stuff has been going on and it's been stressful.
Jean, I forgot to answer your reply about the towel. Yes it goes over the mat and it has made a world of difference on slipping with yoga. My hands and feet sweat a lot and with the towel I don't slip.
My appt went fine. Nothing really to report. They don't do pat smears but every 3 year now so she just did a pelvic exam and breast exam. All was good. Sorry if TMI.

Jean, I hope Bentley is ok. Good luck today.
We actually had to take cuddles to the vet yesterday. She has had horrific gas lately. The kind that will run everyone out of the room. They said she is ok and to just give her Pepcid for a week and see if that helps. She is also on a strict diet and only eats z/d.

No workout today. This is becoming a bad routine! Goal for tomorrow is to do a step workout. I need to just do something I like to get back in the groove.
I have my interview tomorrow. I actually got a call today and got another interview scheduled at a hospital that's closer. Same amount of hours per week. Day evening rotation what should be nicer than day/night rotation. However it's a medicine unit. I think I'll get more experience doing the float pool. And I'm sure that would get me to post partum quicker. I guess I'll just do both interviews and see what I get offered but there are some nice options ahead.
Sorry I haven't been checking in as much lately. I've been trying to stay off the internet when B is awake. I feel so guilty when I'm checking the forums or Facebook and he is not sleeping.

Marie, don't feel guilty for not checking in. We totally understand! B is more important!
Much luck to you tomorrow! We're rooting for you. It's great to have another option. See how both interviews come out. Keep us posted!
Carolyn, the camp didn't bother me at all. Seriously. Maybe I'm missing some gene. (Sometimes I wonder.) But DS was also 3 grades older than yours. DS is a major homebody too. Likes his routines. My only concern was seeing how utterly petrified and worried he was about it for many months!
What supplements worked for your menstrual pain? Curious.
Awesome job with Ride! I promise I will get to it. Just like you will do OP/coco oil.
Jean, Bentley is at peace. He was loved and in turn loved you lots. (((Hugs)))
I watched The Sessions. A great story.
Missy, hope you're well.
Have a great night.

Insane, Carolyn! Oh, the things moms have to do!
Naive is good. Keep them that way as long as possible!
Dreary and chilly today. Worse tomorrow.
Anyone brew Dunkin Donuts at home? Smells and tastes so good! I'm only an occasional indulger since I add cream and maple syrup, but omg, yum!

Good morning!
Yes the thugs moms will do. I've been there before. I'm sure we all have been. Lol.
Jean, I hope you are holding up ok
Marie, I wish you luck today.
Carolyn, my DS is the same. Be it he is much younger but he is so sensitive and such a home body at such a young age. We are even holding off sending him to kindergarten bc his birthday is 8/30 and cut off is 9/1. He will benefit from the extra year. One more day. Glad you slept well.
Hi Missy
Today was 30 minutes on the bellicon then i did a 20 minute ab workout. love the bellicon. It feels so good to do jumping without the impact. I really got a good workout in 30 minutes. I was awake again @ 4:30, should of gotten up but did not. Dragged myself out at 5:30 again.
Betty, I've gotten the Dunkin donuts k-Cups. I did that for awhile and really enjoyed it, that was until I discovered Starbucks kcups that I can buy at SAMs club. I don't use any sugar in my coffee anymore just coconut creamer.

Carolyn, you can do it! It is too bad about the weather but at least you sent him off with boots. He'll be tired when you pick him up tomorrow but then you have the whole weekend to spend with him - enjoy!
Today was UY Detox. I love what the twisting poses do for my spine, I feel so good today.
So, I do wish I had a yoga body, but I do not. I started packing last night and some of my shorts were tight! I think I am getting to the age where my middle is starting to thicken, I hate it! I have been eating and working out the same, but I am not good about watching what I eat. I need to be more disciplined, but it will have to wait until I get back from vacation.
Have any of you heard of this 5-2 eating plan? I saw it on a PBS show, you fast 2 days of the week (women have 500 calories on those days), and then eat whatever you want the other 5 days. The guy doing it, a physician, lost something like 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I've never tried fasting, and I don't know how it would mix in with workouts, but it was very interesting.
Colleen, love your typos - the thugs moms will do.

Carolyn, you are a hungry monster! All that working out!
Try out Travis asap!
One more day!
Here's a portable card game I just read about: Iota, by a MA inventor.
Mary, do not fret for one second about your shorts being tight! It must be muscle! You are super fit and lean! Don't beat yourself up. You are incredibly committed to your exercise. I can't see how much more you can do! I am there with you on the midsection. Enjoy your food. Life is too short.
I also have briefly read the 5/2 diet reference. I cannot imagine 500 calories in a day! Starvation! You'd just eat it all back.
Have a fab vaca!
Colleen, my nephew is an August baby. The extra year would have done him good, even to this day, a senior in high school. I believe you're making the right decision.
Man, that Bellicon is sounding so good when I imagine jumping on it with no impact!
Missy, that menu board sounds awesome! I can hear the creative juices flowing! I wish we lived closer so we could scrap together. I am too lazy to make birthday cards any more, resenting the time it takes me.
Marie, hope your interview went swimmingly!
Jean, sending our love your way.
