Good Morning....yes I was basically MIA too.....just so busy...and I tried spending some time with Tim....as I am normally exercising in the evenings and mornings....and busy doing chores on the weekends....so I just spent quality time with him....I think he enjoyed it...then we took Tim;s dad out for dinner last night...we went to Sonnys BBQ...I had a salad, it was so big...it could have feed two people...so I brought the rest for my lunch today.
I am going with a friend to a bootcamp class tuesday, thursdaym and friday this week at 5:30 am....yes, crazy it is....but Ive always wanted to try this one...and it is its last week...it is a 8 week program and then there off for 2 weeks and then it starts over....so I thought I would go for 1 week and try it, as she has been bugging me to do.....this is a different bootcamp than I injured myself in....this one does warm ups and cooldowns....like a proffesional should!!! I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.... I am not to exccited to get up so early....but, one will never know till I try it!
I am still doing my zuzka workouts..........and loving them!!!!
Hope everyone has a lovely day!
Mine started very early...my Dr texted me at 7:15 this morning, saying our ac was not working at office....so lets just say it was a warm start to this week....but the ac man just left and now we are cool again...thankfully!!!!!

Hi everyone!
OMG, my oatmeal recipe is in Cathe's newsletter!
I did UY Cardio today, and omg, I've never sweated like that during any yoga session. My glasses were fogged! (If you're trying to picture me, I wear contacts most of the day.)
It's funny how much my eyes are closed during. Anyone else do it mostly closed? I can't take advantage of the beautiful filming that way.;p
One thing I am not in sync with everyone else is the breathing. I'm always opposite of what they're doing. That was also the case whenever I do Cathe anyway, so that's an oddity with me, I guess.
And I have yet to feel how my internal organs and body is being wrung out and detoxified. In other words, that mind/body connection hasn't happened yet for me.
Tonight is ds's piano recital and I've already pan-fried the gyozas I'm bringing.
Two workmen are here. The house is a mess from that and the fact that my fridge is on the blink. DH will fix its fan, but we wait for it to be shipped.
Mary, country line dancing sounds sooo fun! Where do you go for that? Dh was up for it?? Mine would never.
Colleen, awesome on the running! You're knee is doing so great!

Betty Congrats on your recipe. You didn't even tell us you had submitted one. Now you have 100 Cathe dollars. Does she have anything that you don't have? Did you have to submit the picture also? I have never heard of "Gyozas". I have to look that one up. Enjoy the recital. Are you the proud Mom while he is playing? I wish I could play piano.
Missy Enjoy Bootcamp. I wanted to join one about 10 yrs ago but I had to be to work too early. And I hear the instructors are mean if you don't do everything. Good Luck.

Betty, I usually always do yoga with my eyes closed. I find it relaxing when I do that. I don't find the mind body connection. I just love how I feel afterward. So maybe that is my connection with yoga. Good luck at the recital. How long has your son been playing the Piano? My dd just started last October. It's amazing how fast they can pick up music at such a young age.
Carolyn, how frustration. I hope you found an outfit that he liked. I'm not sure why schools make it so hard sometimes.

Congrats on your recipe being in the newsletter Betty! That is so cool. It looks super yummy. I'll have to try it. You'll have to keep us posted on what you buy.
Carolyn- Hope you find an outfit for your son. Sound so frustrating!
Missy- Enjoy boot camp! Sounds like a blast!
Once again my workout was a walk. That seems to be my go-to work out lately.
B is 8 months today! How time flies!
Have a great evening everyone!

Good morning! I did Afterburn this morning.
Betty, congratulations on the oatmeal recipe! What will you buy with your reward? How did the piano recital go? I am so impressed at my DD's piano recital because it is usually the same kids and I see how they have improved since last year. And I have no musical ability at all! Glad you are enjoying UY. I usually feel the mind body connection in a live class where the pace is a little slower, UY cardio especially moves at a fast pace, but a really good workout.
Marie, enjoy those walks, walking is great exercise. And B is so adorable, can't believe he is already 8 months!
Carolyn, hope you found an outfit and the graduation went well. I have bought many outfits for my girls over the years that the school required but were never worn again, frustrating indeed!

Good Morning.....wide awake here....alarm went off at 4:40....and yes, for a moment I thought "am I crazy?" hehehe....left to hoise at 5 am....and tackled bootcamp....it was really fun....I enjoyed it. There is a good group of girls and everyone makes you feel at home....The instructor is the owner of the gym...ex nfl football player....but really nice. He does not yell at you like some bootcamps...he is just really motivating....I go back thursday....then I have 2 weeks off....and then we start a 7 week bootcamp....3 days a week.... hehehehe
It started out with a really good warm up...and then we hit the streets....we ran 2 miles....then came back in the gym...and hit the mats...did burpes, mountain climbers, several different crunch sets, push ups, then hit stationed workouts....weights (machine and free weights) and cardio (treadmill, rowing, biking)...It was an awesome workout! It was funny...he came over to me...and said...now you make that look so easy...lets up those weights....too funny!!! He said...your "NO" beginner....your strong...you can do this....hehehe
The workout was an hour....then back to the house for a much needed shower....now at work!!!
Hope everyone has a lovely day! Will check in later....

Jean, I haven't forgotten your recipe; it's just been chaotic in the house. I'll update it this week and post it here.
My oatmeal recipe was a spur-of-the-moment thing, and I figured I'll wait to hear the verdict before I let you guys know.
. I submitted the pic too; my tablet took a very sharp one. I haven't gotten an email from cathe.com about my winning yet; I simply saw my recipe in the newsletter.Believe it or not, I don't want or need anything from shopcathe! I feel frivolous ordering stuff that I don't need. If pressed though, I could order HST; IMAX3; ooh, her calendar! These are probably high-impact workouts which I'm shying away from. Too bad you can't use it for future preorders, because even though I say this present one was my last one, idk!
I am indeed the proud mom.
Gyozas are thin-skinned Peking ravioli or Chinese dumplings
. They're Japanese.Missy, be careful at boot camp. I get the impression that these are high-impact, fast-paced, multi-rep workouts (that makes me cringe
), and you can hurt yourself.

Colleen, ds has been playing since first grade, so almost 7 yrs. That was his last piano anything, sadly.
He just can't come to like it.Last night there was a little boy about 5 yrs old playing Mary Had a Little Lamb. He was so cute.
It's wonderful that dd has taken it up. It is my absolute fave instrument. It benefits their brains in myriad ways too. I should take it up too but I have no musical ability whatsoever, so I'm embarrassed to be so slow!
Mary, watching the children play year after year is so impressive. We've been going to these for over 10 yrs, starting with ds1. Piano music really moves me.
I had a stiff neck (which leads to a heachahe) from UY Cardio, but I think it's finally gone now.
I like the glimpse you gave me of a studio class.

Good morning!
I got to work a little early so just taking a quick walk and sipping my cold press
Hope you all have a great morning. I hope to be back later.
Marie, is that coffee made in a coffee press?? Tell me how you like it? I keep thinking about getting a press, but don't know if I really need one, and what type/brand.
Congrats on Breckin being 8 months!
Tick, tick, your new job is starting soon!

way to stinkin busy for my liking.
only got a walk in. no weights
the outfit I bought ds does not fit. So in between my dentist appointment and food shopping I went to TJ, Kohls and Walmart. He is graduating tonight and needs to look nice, but he will NEVER wear this stuff again so I don't want to invest much money. I still need him to try it on and see how it looks. It is SOOOOO hot and humid. We are going to melt. They do a supper and then the graduation. Siblings can't come! Who will watch dd for 45 mins during supper time?!! I am not asking anyone to do that. So, dh is staying with him. I didn't have any fight for that! Mr Antisocial!
Need to vacuum. Be back tonight for personals.
I was awake from 2:30-5:30 this a.m.!
Carolyn, ds graduated last night? High five! It's unusual there's a supper. Is it potluck? So not right siblings can't come! Everyone has siblings!
Hope you found the perfect outfit for him. I pulled clothes out for ds's recital, and when we were leaving for it, I realized, dang, that's the same shirt as last year!
Try taking a calcium supplement before bed for your insomnia. I can't believe you have never taken any, being female.
How was your niece's grad?
We had some wicked downpours on our way to the recital. It was so unexpected! But I like them.
Best get moving.

As for the bootcamp.....I am being very careful...the most high impact was the running....and I was careful.... as for the others...its challenging, but you go to your max within the time....its very motivating, but relaxed....its nice! The reason I went is I am always alone....working out...and its nice to have people around sometimes!

Hi Everyone. Today is rainy and muggy. I went in for my Mammo today. I also got my left shoulder x-ray'd which I hurt last April doing the LIS rotation. I was hoping it would get better but it still pains me. I have a referral also for physical therapy so I have to quickly start that if I want it. When I was putting my shirt back on they had this mirror that made me look HUGE. I was shocked. I think I have gained 10 pounds since I started this painting. I am just feeling a lot of stress. But I will get it off after the move is over. My goal will be to look half way decent in a bathing suit by next summer.
I forgot to tell you that Sunday's movie was "Playing For Keeps". That was pretty good.
Missy How nice of Tim to send you flowers just because. They are lovely flowers. I am glad to hear you enjoyed Bootcamp. It is good to hear that you are joining. You are going to be so fit.
Carolyn I bet your son looked so cute. You stay so busy. You won't have any time now that school is out. I'm glad to see you are keeping up with your workouts.
Betty No rush on the recipe. I know you have been busy. That is too bad you don't need any Cathe stuff. Maybe you could get stuff like Missy suggested. I'm sure I could spend it with no problem.
Marie Happy belated 8 mos B'day to B. It's almost time for baby # 2.

Missy, that boot camp sounded very doable. And fun. Enjoy! Those early mornings are killers though.
What a gorgeous bouquet! I'm a sucker for flowers! How sweet that is!
