STS first time!

Wow, really quiet here!

Lots of rushing around yesterday, but DD got everything in and looked beautiful if I do say so myself. I don't even want to think about how much money was spent for this whole thing. The girls were so funny, none of them was particularly fond of their prom dates, seems they all like someone else. So they made a plan that whenever a slow song came on they would head for the ladies' room. Were we like that at that age?

I am still feeling congested and run down, but I did CSS this morning. No doms from yesterday either.

Betty, my DH loves beets but I think they taste like the earth, not my favorite.

Looks like it is getting a bit darker and cooler out. We have softball at 4 and 6, double header. I need a nap!
 
Hello friends......yesterday I did get to lay out by pool for an hour......vitamins!!!! I then spent the afternoon evening with Tim!!!! We did lots of work in the garden.....I took a rest day....and did no workouts yesterday.

Today....we got up and ate breakfast and then went to Lowes.....we needed some sticks to trellis some of my plants....we came home and got them in the garden....now everything is done! We then got a very bad phone call.....the company Tim works for has 2 owners....one of them decided to take his own life this morning.....very sad. Tim and him were pretty close....he is very sad.....but doing well. It is so sad to think someone can do that.....all I can say is make sure you hug and kiss your loved ones....and let them know no matter what you are always there for them.

Onto better subjects......just fixed our lunches for tomorrow.....I did lay out again today for an hour. Going to do afterburn after dinner with the in laws!

Hope everyone is doing well...bbl!
 
Missy, for a minute I was going to ask if you are the sole Powerball winner from FL:eek:. Then I remembered you're from GA! Imagine?? I didn't even get a chance to play!

Mary, how awesome for DD that everything fell beautifully into place!

We spread 10 bags of mulch. Well, mostly dh did. I weeded. It definitely has cooled off tons. Hopefully we'll get rain since it is so cloudy, but I have no idea.
 
Hi Everyone. I have just been busy painting so there isn't much to say.
We are going to Delaware on Tuesday. We have a 9am appt with the decorator . I think I told you we are picking out the bedspread and curtains and all the paint colors for the house. Then we are meeting the builder at noon and having a tour of all of the latest accomplishments. We are really looking forward to that.
We turned our air conditioner on 2 days ago. It is getting hot here.
My husband was going to continue working until our house is sold but they offered him $76,000 before taxes to leave by June 29 so I think he will be moving when I do. He would not make that much money in 3 months so it is a nice incentive. They make that offer at least once a year so it is nice that they did it now.
Todays movie was "Deadfall". It was pretty good.

Missy I made my roast chicken. It was falling off the bone. It was very good. I will start cooking them more often. When i was your age I used to live to lay in the sun. I would go to the Ocean every Thurs and Sat and lay out from 9 am to 6 pm.

Carolyn Did you get that vibrating collar for Cuda? I checked to see if we have The Christmas Tree shop around here and we have 2 . They are both about an hour or more away so I won't be going. It looks like a fun store.

Betty When i got my elliptical , I got the cord that plugs into the wall so I wouldn't have to use batteries. The reviewers all said that the batteries didn't last long.

Mary I bet that was fun getting your daughter all ready for prom. I am sure she was very pretty. When she is old enough to have a prom age daughter , she will look back on her pictures and hate the way she looked. Everyone seems to do that.

Colleen You sure did alot of cleaning. I bet you can breath better in your house now. I always breath better when things are clean.

Jean
 
Hi Jean! Great to hear from you. I thought you went to DE this week already. Have a wonderful tour and mtg with la decorateur (anyone remember Sleepless in Seattle? That came from there). Just think, a few more months! Hang in there with the painting.
That's a new movie I haven't seen, and an amazing ?buyout for your dh! Thumbs up!

Carolyn, what a clod! Is he unmarried?? It seems a married person would be sensitive enough not to say that to a woman, having learned what not today to his wife:eek:!
I'm so sorry you felt that way today! I've been there. You can't even describe what comes over you, since you feel perfectly normal.
Cheer up, friend. Nothing a night's rest won't cure. And passage of time. I'm always amazed at the diff at day makes when in your cycle. Mood, bloating, volume of blood:confused:

I got BB Core and Ultimate Kettlebell for Beginners (Paul Katami) yesterday from the library! So excited to try them out! BB is 45 mins on core!?

Good night, friends!
 
Good morning...up and on the treadmill. I never exercised yesterday....just spent time woth Tim...as he was sad. So today i am back at it....gotta get running....

Carolyn...hugs....

Bbl!
 
Okay....so I did my morning cardio....but it was tough after 2 days off.....so crazy that it gets tough that quickly.....but I think my body enjoyed the time off.

Betty....I wish I was the winner....I never play.....just money wasted as I never win anything!

Carolyn....I hope you feel better today.

I sure hope my hubby has an okay day today......he is kinda down....knowing he will never see his boss/friend again....I told him when he left....that I loved him and I am here for him....I think it meant a lot!

Okay....so I have to call around to the tint shops today....I need the tint on my car redone as it is very illegal and the cops are bothering me about it. I have gotten a verbal and written warring....next is a ticket. At first I blew it off thinking.....oh there not going to say anything as long as I am not doing anything wrong.....well I was wrong. I got pulled over last week!!!! Hopefully I can get it done before I get a ticket!!! Lol

Off to work I go......

Have a nice monday my friends!
 
Oh Missy, I am so sorry about Tim's friend. That kind of thing is so hard to understand, and very tough on those left behind.

And Carolyn, I hope you got a good night's sleep and are feeling better today. My mood always sinks a few days before TTOM, and I've learned to recognize it and know that it will wear off in a day or 2. But that guy is a clod!

I did a premix of KPC this morning, it was hard to tell from the list what it was going to be. It didn't seem to have enough cardio but it did have abs. At least it is done.

I'm feeling a bit let down this morning with Prom being over. Everything was so rushed there wasn't time to enjoy. I've got to learn to slow things down, hard to do.
 
Thanks Mary....I just cant understand it.... Life is short enough....

I am trying to play catch up from last week...I was at front desk thursday and friday...so I put my stuff on hold!

Mary---Good job on your workout....I definately need a Cathe kick butt workout....tonight I am definately getting one in!!!! 2 days off almost killed me this morning....I was definately dragging my butt...but I did it!!! ;)

Be back!
 
Good morning ladies,

No workout for me yesterday. More cleaning!!!

Today starts recovery week so I did 2 BB segments. I will do abs tonight. I had a hard time getting up this morning.

Yesterday we went to lunch and I ordered a grilled chicken salad. The chicken must of Ben coated with dressing that had gluten in it. I was sick last night. My belly is still off today but better than last night.

DH surprised me yesterday with a vitamix. I've been wanting one for so long. I think he felt ba about my yummy. I made a yummy smoothly for breakfast this morning.

Mary, I feel the same way too. Life goes by too fast and I just need to slow time at times.

Carolyn, hope you are feeling better today.

Betty, I can't wait to hear your reviews of BB and Paul's workouts.

Jean, good luck tomorrow. How exciting. That is a great offer for DH!

Missy, I hope Tim sprits are better today. I had a hard time to day tok working out. Glad you took some rest days. It does a body good.
 
Hi everyone!

Colleen! A Vitamix! How fantastic for you! I would love one of those!
I'm sorry to hear of your stomach troubles.:( What can you do, just wait it out?
How is it recovery week if you're doing more BB??
BB Core was refreshingly different. We've done so many ab workouts with Cathe but these are new to me. I only wish I don't feel so lost, but that will come with time. All that toe-pointing: my feet took turns getting charley horses!:D
I like Paul Katami! He's very engaging and friendly. I did the intro workout, which was about 27 mins (a lot of pauses and not much of a nonstop workout, but the kettlebell was tiring), which was perfect to pair with 44 mins of BB.

Mary, nice going on the KPC premix. I tend to do the whole thing if I pull that out; don't want to skip any!
It seems like all we do is rush nowadays, doesn't it? The electronics and multi-tasking don't help either.

Missy, my thoughts are with Tim and the poor man's family and friends.
So will you get new tinting, or remove it?

Carolyn, you ok today?
 
Betty.....Tim just found out from the mans son, he was battling depression really bad.....He sure hid it well at work....you would have never known. He was the most outgoing individual.....Sad!!!

As for my tint...I am removing the tint and replacing with "legal" tint! Just made an appointment for tomorrow..... :eek:

Colleen---I hope you feel better....thats why I cook most of my meals at home....you just dont know! I am guilty of going out for mexican....but thats mostly it! I just love chips and salsa...its my cheat meal!

Back at work and slammed....be back later!:p
 
Betty, good job on the bike last night.

With recovery week you do less intensive workouts. Next week starts the last 4 weeks of BBPSI. DH told me on Saturday that my legs are skinny!!!

Missy, that is so sad about Tim's boss. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I'm waiting to have my 6 month mammo checkup.
 
Hi gals,
Carolyn, sorry you're still under that cloud. It'll be gone by tomorrow, for sure.
I couldn't tell Paul K is gay. Sometimes you can. Since there are 3 workouts on that dvd, I think I'll just do BB and PK this entire week! There! Ha! No Cathe!
I think I need a real iron kettlebell though. I have one of those large plastic ones from Marshalls. I got a 7.5 lb one. Don't get me started though. I do kettlebells so rarely that I don't need another kb.:confused:
So sorry for your BF's dad.

Missy, depression is so sad. I hear tv commercials about drugs for being sad all the time, and I can't imagine. I feel so sorry for those who feel the only solution is to take their own lives.:(
Some Mexican dishes are all right. Infrequently I crave Chipotle's burritos. Guacamole is healthy too.

Colleen, your DH seems like such a respectful, sensitive soul. He's truly a keeper.
So fabulous on your skinny legs!!! You're on the right workout path!!!
I can't remember why you go every 6 months. Mine is next week.
I hope your tummy is on the mend.
I keep ogling the Vitamix and Blendtec at Costco.

Marie, hope all is well with you!

Buona notte, mi amici!
 
Good morning friends!!!

On the treadmill!!!

Oh....i feel for all those tornato victums....its just so tragic!

Carolyn....so happy that your sister will be visiting! Enjoy your sister time!

I am dropping my car off at 9 for the tint!!!

Have a lovely tuesday!!!
 
Hi friends!!

Sorry last night I meant to check in but the night got away from me. I'm fine. They did a Mamo and ultra sound but still want me to come back in another 6 months. They are just begin precautions since my mom had breast cancer. They are just saying it is dense breast tissue.

This morning I did balance from UY.

I also took DS to the ENT to have his ears checked. He has fluid in both ears so he has to go back Thursday for a hearing test and discuss if he needs tubes back in. I then went on a field trip with DS and now I'm getting my allergy shot. Busy day!!

DH is a keeper. I know he loves me and he would do anything or me. I truly luckily.

Tummy is better. Not much I can do but suffer through I've eaten anything with gluten.

Leahs recovery weeks are not rest weeks but a week where you concentrate more on on less intensive workouts and stretching/yoga.
 
Lunch time check in.....

Just walked 2 miles with a co-worker.... funnest part...is she is 68 yrs old....and she can keep up with me....all the rest of my coworkers are fat and lazy!!! LOL :D

Feels amazing to get out and be active at lunch! It was a little warm...but I will take the warm temps over cold anyday!!!

Colleen---I am so glad your hubby is amazing. It is truely the best feeling in the world. my hubby is the same....I just dont understand people that have a ugly marriage...life is too short....

BBL!!! :eek:
