STS first time!

Some nice rain overnight, and sun promised. Lunch with two girlfriends soon. I just enjoyed some Dunkin Donuts with maple syrup and half and half. Yum.

Carolyn, how funny on the sunburn stripes! Don't put yourself down on the bathing suit. I'm sure you're rocking it better than 100% of the people on the beach!

Hope you had a great 5k, Missy. Way to go, doing one.

Jean, I'd kill for any of those amenities! Including central air and a solarium!
You must be so looking forward to finishing up your current house!

Colleen, nice job getting some rest! You're funny checking the kids' clothes after a long week of work.

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Hi girls!

I am so spoiled by a kugrig. Love that thing.

I am beat. I've been running all day. At the library with dd and then the grocery store next. I got tons of shopping done too. I think the kids are set. Next is me. But I'll probably take a day off to do my shipping.

Carolyn, I have an awesome spinning workout for you. It's from Paul Katami. It a workout that I downloaded from iTunes. It's a spin workout set to music with his instruction. It rocked. He even had a great cool down and stretch at the end. I burned over 400 calories and I did 18 miles in 60 minutes.

Betty, I'm on borrowed time. Once May hits I won't want to be bothered with shopping or spring cleaning.

DD is done picking out her books. I think she got 18. She loves to read.

Bbl.
 
Yummy Betty. How did they turn out?

Cool. Missy. Enjoy. I would love a garden some day.

Today had been pretty lazy. I did do gentle yoga from UY. It hit the spot today.

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. Bbl.
 
Early morning again for me. I did UY Strength. That one is tough. Tomorrow I'm thinking I'll try out UY Detox. I can't say it enough....love UY! I think everyone NEEDS it! Everyone! Go buy it now ;)

Almost done with work. Couch time tonight ;) Excited to have no plans. I work tomorrow and then I'm off til May 17. So excited to spend lots of time with B :) I may pick up a few shifts here and there. They are so short-staffed that they are offering bonuses for every shift picked up :) That's motivation for sure.

I went for a walk during my lunch break. Good thing I changed into my boots. The sidewalk had lots of snow in areas. So over this!

Colleen- Gentle yoga sounds perfect! I have yet to do that one. It's on my list though :)

Betty- YUM! Waffles. Hope you enjoyed them :) Not sure why I live in MN lol. Seriously! Snow in April! I mean...come on!!!

Missy- I'm jealous of your lettuce. I was just telling Tony that you grow veggies. Hoping for a garden one day. Your cat is too precious. Ho was the 5k?

Carolyn- I know you are rocking that suit!!! Show off that Cathe body ;)

Jean- Glad the trip went well. I love French doors. Your place sounds so beautiful!

Hi Mary!
 
Hi Ladies. Nothing new here. Just working around the house. Today I took a rest day and watched this weeks movie which was "Hitchcock". It was really good.

Carolyn How is the family's sunburn?

Missy How did you do on your 5K Saturday?

Colleen That is so wonderful that your daughter loves to read. I am surprised to hear that she got 18 books. You should be so proud. I didn't start enjoying reading until I was in my mid 20's. Now I love to read.

Betty How were those waffles? Now I want some.

Marie You have almost a month off. Is that your vacation time? You are not going to want to go back.

Jean
 
Hello!

We are back from Puerto Rico! We had a great time, it felt so good to be under the sun and feel warm! The hotel was nice, the beach was great, it had good waves for body surfing. We found some great restaurants away from the hotel, fresh seafood...the more I talk about it, the more I want to go back! We also hiked the rain forest and took a trip into old San Juan.

Back to reality, what a dramatic week here. The hotel had the bombings on the tv in the lobby so we knew what was going on, but pictures and descriptions were so gruesome. So glad they caught the one guy, I hope they can talk to him. Betty, it sounds like you were in the heart of things, must have been very eerie to have everyone stay indoors.

So I think I was pretty active over vacation, between swimming and hiking and walking. I did BM2 today, that was my first Cathe purchase and it is just a fun workout. I didn't do the whole 90 minutes but did enough.

Going to read posts and catch up.
 
Hi girls, my waffles came out great. I love my waffle maker & the recipe, so I make it maybe two/three Sundays a month.

Colleen, that's so awesome DD likes to read! Curiosity is the best! I used to read a ton beginning in middle school, and still do to this day!
You and Marie, nice job on UY!

Marie, that's amazing you'll have so many days off! And what great incentive to take on more shifts. Are you pretty much decided on the float job?

Jean, so glad you took a rest day. All work and no play, etc. We enjoyed Trouble with the Curve last night, which was excellent.

Mary, welcome home! What a dreamy vaca! Did you get some nice color? The food sounds great too!
It was such a surreal week here following the bombings. Scary to believe this can happen in the US.

Missy, so jealous of your fresh lettuce leaves!!! Awesome!
Hope you had a good 5k.

I have lentils soup in the slow cooker. The house simply smells heavenly!
 
Mary- Welcome back :) Glad you had fun. I'm excited to check out PR one day. Where did you go?

Jean and Betty- Yup off for almost a month. I work only 3 days a week usually and she is really good about scheduling me so many days in a row with a group of days off. Plan was to go to PR the first week of May. We decided against it because the doctor said that B could only be out in the sun for less than an hour. I went to retract my vacation days and it was too late. So my month off consist of three pay periods. The first pay period I work the beginning, the second pay period are my vacation days, and the third pay period I work towards the end of the pay period. So yay for me I get almost a month off. Very, very excited. I definitely decided on The float pool job. I will start June 22 :)

B is snoozing. He only slept a half hour today so I know he was tired. Tony and I ordered in. We were going to go out but the weather is horrible. It's raining out. So we ordered Chinese. Not the healthiest but I've been really good lately so decided to treat myself. Other than that just hanging out.
 
Good morning...i was so busy this weekend....had no time to post...i am on the treadmill right now.

The 5k was COLD....but fun!

I did lots of weeding in the garden saturday....planted my next row of crops.....laundry and house work. Yesterday i had to go get hay and do barn chores....so busy!!!

Yesterday I started back hardcore with my exercises...i had been doing morning cardio with occasional evening workouts....so i want to get back to morning and evening workouts....it felt so good....i am icing my knee post evening workout...still rehabing my knee....damn thing!

Be back later! Have a nice day!
 
Good Morning!

It was so hard to get up this morning, but at least it is getting a little bit lighter. I haven't done weights in a while so did BS Ch, Back and Shoulders. I felt I had lost some strength so I could feel myself going to failure on those, no problem. I'm not sure what workouts to do now, I have been doing cardio and UY but I don't feel like I am working my muscles enough with UY. I do enjoy those workouts though!

Marie, I agree on holding off on Puerto Rico. We were in Loquillo, very nice there. The sun is so much stronger there, and even under an umbrella you get the reflection from the sand and water.

Betty, I'm not big on regular waffles but I love it when my DH makes Belgian waffles with fresh fruit. What did you do with the lentils?

Missy, glad the 5K went well. Our blossoming is late here, the daffodils are out but our Magnolia tree has not blossomed yet.

Carolyn, hope the sunburns have cooled down!

Hi Jean and Colleen!
 
Hi Girls!!

Carolyn, glad you are enjoying your vacation. Very typical of Florida weather! I love sea world. I hope the weather gets better. Check out the coached spin. I really loved it. It was only $9.99. I put in my earbuds and blocked everything out and had a great ride.

Marie, that is so great you will have a nice break. When do you go to Colorado?

Mary, welcome back. DH and I went to playa mujaras In feb 2012. It was our Honeymoon we never had. We were suppose to go to cancun for our honeymoon, but we canceled as we got married a few weeks after 9/11. Great job in getting up this Morning and getting right back into the swing of things.

Missy, take it easy on the knee.

Betty, maybe go for a walk or maybe foundations?

Rest day today. The last week I've really struggled with energy and not feeling 100%. I've realized that it is my asthma is what is troubling me. I really took it easy yesterday. The tree pollen is really high.

Jean, glad you rested yesterday. When do you settle on the new house?
 
I did Boot Camp. It has been a long time. There is a lot of core and oblique work! And weights, and cardio...
Mary, I considered BM2 (it is really fun) but couldn't stomach the thought of all that jumping on the step! I've never done the 90 mins! It's killer!
I guess I am Cathe burned out, but yet don't want to do any other instructors.
I put lentils in a vegetable broth with carrots, celery, onion, a little bit of farro and pearl barley (recipe calls for 3 tbsp of white rice instead). Mentally, I always eat more because I feel like it doesn't fill me, but physically, it does fill me.:confused: Oink.

Carolyn, what great stories you have! I could literally picture the parking lot with all those same cars.
That kayak tour sounds amazing! I love stuff like that!
Great news on the cramps! Keep up whatever you're doing. I can't stand even getting TTOTM during a trip, but it always seems to happen:mad:.
Rain, rain, go away.... Let the sun stay out today...

You three M gals, high five on getting in your workouts before work! So hard to get up so early! You too, Colleen, but glad you took a rest day today! You've earned it.
 
Good Afternoon....been a crazy monday at work!

I am looking forward to my workout tonight.....The 5k's that I have been doing have been walks....due to the knee....I have been walking on the treadmill with occasional elliptical.... Even when I go meet my friend, we have been walking at a fast pace.....I do miss running....I ran yesterday off and on on the treadmill and I can feel it today...I even iced my knee last night....WTF????? I have gained inches from slacking....and this is not okay with me....so I have to increase my workouts....but I guess running is not in my plans for the near future....or maybe I can run on dirt but not pavement or treadmill....does this make sense???? I did run a few weeks ago on dirt and my knee did not bother me??? HUM????? :confused:

All I know is I feel better when I do massive workouts.....I even have a better attitude! So I will see what happens over the course of a few days.....

I did get up this morning at 5:45....got Tim's stuff ready, made him so coffee and then hit the treadmill walking! Took a brief break to get Tim out the door at 6:30.....so I got in a hour this morning! Tonights workout I havent decided on, but it better be a good one! LOL

For all the people that get burned out on Cathe....I have been there too...so I pick up another workout for a bit, and then I start to miss Cathe...I take breaks too! But, I do feel she gives the best muscle workouts....

Carolyn----hopefully the sun will come back out....enjoy the florida sun!!!!

Gotta run....bbl!!!
 
Good Evening Everyone. Nothing new here. Just painting and cleaning.

Colleen Our house won't be complete until July or early August. I guess I have been talking about it so long , it seems like it should be ready now.

Missy Didn't you lose all that weight also by doing one of Cathes w/o bundles like LIS? Maybe you should dust those off and do them. You were really going to town with the elliptical also. I remember you were doing races at a 10 resistance. Does that bother your knee? I'm sure your body looks great.

Carolyn It sounds like you all are having fun. Sorry the sun isn't being your friend. When are you coming home?

Marie That is nice how they arrange your schedule so you can have so much time off in a row.

Jean
 
Good morning.....up and hitting the cardio!

Last night I did AB.....loved it! LIS workouts are some of my fav.

Jean...I only gained about 3 inches all over....that will be gone in notime! Todau is day 3 with my workouts hardcore again....and I feel awesome!

Bbl!
