Oh how I wished we lived closer too. Tony and I are thinking of trying to grow red peppers this year. We don't have much space but I eat those like they're going out of style so I figure that will be my veggie of choice to grow.

Way to induldge on your bday! You deserve it!

Feel no guilt! You are a working mom! The fact that you find time for even a walk is amazing! Do what you feel like doing. I find if I dread a w/o, I will choose something else that I want to do. If I make myself do a tape I don't want to do, I end up not working out at all!
Sorry sleep isnt going well. I remember when my kids were working on a mile stone, sleep suffered. Lots of mile stones if you think about it...rolling over, sitting up, crawling, standing, walking, talking.....! Its a wonder I slept at all that first year!
It will get better! I promise!
Enjoy every minute
I miss my babies.

Thanks so much! That makes me feel better I feel ya on that dread factor. It's all about picking the fun workout!

I start overnight shifts (day and overnight) on June 22 so I'm hoping he sleeps better starting very soon. I would hate to have Tony get up with him since he works full time. Of course he would without complaints but I would still feel bad.

 

[mfv3]

I went for a 25 min walk on my break. I just love getting outside on my breaks!

Alright off to give report to the PM nurses.

 

[missyt]

It was 90 degrees here today.....

I am making a roasted chicken with veggies and rice tonight....since we grilled sat and Sunday....

Marie....peppers don't take much space....I have red green and yellow planted.....they are starting to flower....yeah!!!!

I got out and walked one day last week at lunch....and I really enjoyed it....hoping to do that several times a week.....

Be back....

Hi everyone! Hope you had a nice Memorial Day. It was a gorgeous day, weather-wise, breezy, sun, low 70s. Sublime! We're expecting humid and 90 on Thurs-Sun!!!

My Internet was down most of the day. Did gardening. Mostly. No usual Monday workout. Ugh.

Marie, absolutely no feeling guilty. You are a working mom with an infant!

Missy, nice celebration!

Good night!

 

[cdimatt]

Morning friends.

Yesterday was a busy day and the day got away from me. No workout.

Today I'm back on track with bb. It is my last month of BBPSI system! Today I did 3 lower body segments. I hope to walk today at lunch.

Not much going on today. Back at work. We had a great weekend now back to reality.

Missy, glad you had a good birthday.

Marie, don't beat yourself up. You are doing great. I have read several articles lately that walking is one if the best forms of exercise. I'm loving walking right now. I'm trying to add in as much as I can on a daily basis.

Carolyn, how was the soup?

Today is going to be a gloomy rainy day then starting tomorrow it's going to be hot.

Need to catch up in some work. Bbl.

 

[missyt]

I am back at work....

I havent exercised since thursday.....i took a few days off....and it feels great....i felt like my body needed some rest.....but tonight i am going to start the lis rotation.....i havent gained any over my rest period....which is awesome....

Hope everyone had a nice monday....

Be back later....

 

[missyt]

Hello....I sure wish I was at home right now.....I would really like to be watching the y&r right now..... guess I will have to watch it tonight.....

Trying to get caught up.....busy busy....

Quick post - Happy Belated Birthday Missy!

Had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, girls brought a friend which meant less fighting and lots of time outside when they could, they also did a whole jigsaw puzzle on Sat. while it rained.

Had jury duty today (had to be in Salem at 8am - ugh), but didn't get picked so now I am trying to work from home. Such a beautiful day!

 

[maryk]

Missy, is something going on with Y&R? My Mom has watched that for years and still does, so I used to know all the characters!

 

[Bettypcw]

I don't know what's gotten into me today. I'm more like the hare instead of my usual tortoise!

No exercise yet, maybe spin tonight.

Gorgeous day! So very pleasant.

Can't believe May is almost over!

 

[missyt]

Mary----there is always something going on on the Y&R....today is a special tribute to Jeanie Cooper (Mrs Chancellor) She passed on May 8th.....so sad....she was like family to me....I have been watching the soap since I was in diapers....LOL

 

[Bettypcw]

Wow, Carolyn, you had a fun field trip! What great meals too! I swear, when the hormonal pall isn't over us, we have great willpower! I ate well too, except for the slice of bday cake in the aft. Won't stop till it's all gone!
There was nothing special that I did today. Just all those myriad things moms do. For once I was tired of things hanging over my head for days, so I completed them today!

Never knew Jeanne Cooper is Corbin Bernsen's mom. Never watched Y&R myself but spent many, many years on the 3 ABC soaps (GH anyone?) and DOOL on NBC. Isn't it amazing how Hope and Marlena still look so incredibly young?! Like they don't age! What is their secret??

Colleen, you motivated me to walk this evening. What a great mild one. I walked with dh, but not that many miles. Just to walk off the turkey chili, which came out yummy, even though I added turmeric (since it's so beneficial), and a tad too much at that!
No spin either.

Missy, how do you know whether you gained or not if you don't have the scale?.
Don't feel guilty for taking rest days! You deserve some!

My 800th!

 

[missyt]

Good morning!!!

Betty....i bought a new scale.....i caved a few weeks ago....becauae i thought i was gaining....and i was right...6 pds....not happy about that....but I am going to work hard at removing them....

Okay....as for soaps....i have been watching them since i was in diapers....Mrs C has been on Y&R for 39 yrs.....the show just celebrated 40..... so basically from beginning....she will definately be missed....its so sad....

I think I may be getting sick....massive drainage, off and on stuffy nose on one side, and sneezing???? Oh no.....

Be back....

 

[Bettypcw]

Good morning! Showery day. Two appts. I am SO tired. Don't know what workout I'll do. Don't feel like anything.

Oh no, Missy. Hope you're not getting sick. Vitamin C! Good luck keeping it at bay.

 

[cdimatt]

Good morning!!

Missy, on no. Hope you feel better. Could it be allergies?

Betty, what appointments do you have today? I hope you enjoyed your walk. I've been finding since I haven't been doing real intense cardio that the walking is helping keep my weight in check and actually lean out a little more.

Yesterday I did a 2 mile walk at lunch. Today I did 3 UB BB segments and tonight I have to do my abs.

Carolyn, Leah suggests a 4-6 weeks break in between her systems. So I'll do some sort if Cathe rotation. Not sure which one yet. Then I'll probably get her BBPSII since I've sev so trilled with my results. So glad you enjoyed the field trip yesterday.

 

[Bettypcw]

Carolyn, that used to be one of the school volunteer jobs I enjoyed, the library. I am a closet librarian.
Dh uncovered our A/Cs the other day, in preparation for HHH. Heatwave!
Finished the mammo. You wouldn't think that area could be stretched so much, since there's not much TO stretch! Yikes.
You're taking the big boat to one of the lakes. Do you have a small boat too?
I can't believe your dh used to watch OLTL with you. Mine would never.
I hate any type of rain on me! For some reason I find it really annoying, like it'll mess up my hair or something. I don't like getting all my clothes wet either.
Get your workout in!

Colleen, I used to regularly walk to get extra exercise and movement, as long as it wasn't winter. Good for you to leaning out! That's so awesome! High five on the success of your plan!
I woke with a tight head, and then it dawned on me that every time I walk, I get the rumblings of a headache right after or the next day. I must be forgetting to drink more than a sip of water. It's misleading since I don't break much of a sweat during my walk, and it's hardly strenuous at 2.5 mph, but I guess I need to hydrate! Interestingly enough, after my workout this am, I opened a coconut juice and drank about 4 oz and my headache went away! Amazing.
I looked at Leah's site again. Her BBPSII looks like it requires the 4 dvds. Do you have them already?
My afternoon appt is ob/gyn.

Oh yeah, I pulled out MMA Boxing today. It was fun, and has a nice core section.
Hard to do any Cathe when it's humid in the house again!
Even though I haven't worked out since Friday, and have not done any spin, my knees are achy. Sheesh. Sucks getting old. Especially with the can't-see-up-close crap.

Missy, you mention Tim's parents but not yours. Yours aren't local, right?
Don't sweat the pounds. You're fit and dedicated!

ok, I'm rambling....

 

[missyt]

Hello.....still dont feel 100%.....cant wait to go home and rest.....I want to lay down and nap....congestion, then runny nose, then sneezing, and now my head hurts....must be allergies.....??????

As for my parents....my mom is not local and my father has never been in the picture. I am not very close to my mother.....we are like oil and water....we dont mix! I havent seen her in probably.....7 years or so....she lives 5 hours south of here. I know its not very far....but, she doesnt make the effort so why should I??? She is not a very good mom.....I am very close with my aunt though....we talk all the time...and I always receive gifts/cards from her (she raised me).....as for my mom....she didnt even send me a bday card....although I always send cards to her and her new family.....oh well....I dont stress over it. I am the better person since I always remember and send cards....but I am not making the trip.....us in a room together for more than about an hour....gets BAD.....LOL

I am at work...and ready to pull my hair out....these damn insurance companies are making me crazy....I am seriously thinking about changing careers....LOL

Be back....

As for the walking....I am starting to enjoy walking myself....hoping to walk tomorrow at lunch!

 

[missyt]

Colleen----Have you noticed since doing your ballet workouts....better flexibility???? I need to incorporate something to help me....I am so stiff lately....seems like the stronger I get the less flexible I get.....
