STS first time!

Hi Everyone. Not much going on here. Tomorrow is my husbands last day of work before retirement. I think he is really going to miss bringing home a nice paycheck every week. I hope he will get a part time job when we move. As of right now , our final walk thru is July 15 and settlement is July 22. I am very happy. I will have all of August to enjoy the beach. It will be like a month long vacation.

Missy I was hoping you would post pictures of your new bikes. Hopefully you and Tim will enjoy it enough to continue riding.

I agree with everyone that Cathe should do her postings on her website first. That is where all her loyal fans go to. I am not on facebook and have no desire to join. I noticed the new w/o is a step. Is anyone really looking forward to that one? I am the only one of us who didn't pre order.

Where is all of this rain coming from? We are having a huge down pour right now.

It sounds like everyone is prepping for vacations. Have fun ladies.
 
How exciting Jean!! Settlement will be here before you know it. When do you out your current home on the market. It will be so wonderful to enjoy the beach during August.

Betty, have you done LB BB before? Sounds like you had a nice day with your mom. I am really looking forward to vacation.
 
Colleen, I have done BB LB before, maybe 3x. I will keep at it once a week, hopefully. Too much flab/loose skin around my legs.:confused:

Jean, how exciting a time for dh! Congrats to him! Settlement--is that moving in?-- is less than a month away! Hooray! I can't believe it!
New furniture would be very exciting too. Are you bringing the old or chucking it?
Yup, a dancy step workout:confused:. Probably another one I'll give up on.
We never got any rain! I'm bummed.

Carolyn, how fun is that for the kids!
My mom enjoyed the lunch; it was something different for her.
Definitely try BB LB. It's gathering dust.;)

I'm sure I'll read posts while away. There's wi-fi at the hotel.;)
 
Good morning!

Rainy, muggy here, and 8th graders are heading to the beach today. As long as they are with their friends I'm sure they'll have fun.

We had our work outing yesterday afternoon, to a mini-golf ice cream place nearby. It was so muggy but luckily we avoided the showers. I hate horribly - need to do better with that today.

I did CSS this morning, oddly, my back gave me twinges during the workout. I have done this one many times and never felt anything like that. I feel like I have so many aches and pains these days, it is discouraging.

Betty, have a great trip, I hope the weather cooperates. Carolyn, that's good you could reschedule your trip. Jean, your new house is beautiful, I love the colors you chose and how exciting that everything is new! And Colleen, next week is a great week to take off with the holiday in there, sounds like you need it!

Last night of rowing tonight, I hope we can go out on the water.
 
Hi friends,

Rest day for me today. I needed the break this morning.

Berry, any DOMS from yesterday? Enjoy your trip.

Carolyn, good luck today. I know how you feel. Tomorrow I am taking off just to have a day to myself before the family vacation. I just need a day to myself!!!

Muggy day her today too. We've been getting rain every day.

Marie, sorry a out the twinges and enjoy your last night of rowing. Will you do another session?

Ok lots to do to prepare for taking time off from work. Oh dd chipped her tooth so I have to take her to the dentist this afternoon too.

Bbl.
 
Good Morning friends.....I posted a long post this morning on my phone...and then my phone went mental.....lost it! So I am now on my work computer..... Last night I woke up 3 times, drenched in sweat....first time that has ever happened to me....I think it may be my thryoid....I am monitoring my tsh level (I check it again in Aug).....it is normal but the number keeps going down...which mean hyperthyoidism...my level is in normal range right now....but....I will keep you posted.....I think I am falling apart....now that I am 30....LOL

I am going to walk with a friend at lunch today.....not sure how far we will make it....as it is extremely hot....high 90's today I think....

I will post a pic of the bikes later....when my phone allows me too!:p

be back after lunch for more....:cool:
 
Carolyn....all I know is I dont want it to happen again...it happened 3 times last night...so I am tired today! I need my "beauty" rest...LOL :p;)

Just walked 2 miles with a friend....it was extremely warm...for sure....
 
She hit her chin on DS' head. It was just a little chip on the side of the tooth. The dentist just filed it down. He said just to keep an eye out on the tooth to make sure it doesn't change colors, but it should be fine.

I love the bikes, missy. I hope you sleep better to tonight I hate waking up like that.

I plan on a full day of retail therapy!!! I want a new bathing suit for vacation and I need to get a dress for a wedding in August. Plus I want to check out sales on summer clothes. I would like to get pedicure but I don't know if I'll have time. If not ill do that next week.
 
So glad you like LB and it didn't hurt your legs. Im anxious to see if you have DOMS tomorrow. I think you need to start changing the way you think. I followed Leah's plan to a T and only did cardio one to 2 days a week, but tried to walk everyday. I LOVE the results!! Everyone responds differently though....
 
I posted a few pics in my profile. They are from last weekend. I also sent a few friend requests so you can view them.
 
Hi Ladies. I did a little painting today. Just finishing things I was holding till the end.

Betty I know you are away but have you watched this mini series by Masterpiece Classics called" Mr. Selfridge". I am watching it now. It is in the 1908 era in London. It looks pretty good so far. Enjoy your weekend away.

Colleen It sounds like you have a fun day planned for tomorrow. I hope you find a lot of good sales. Hopefully you can get that pedi in there.

Missy Those are nice looking bikes. I am going to get one of those plain bikes that have foot brakes and no gears. Enjoy riding. I told my husband we have to get bikes right away so I can get in some extra exercise.

Carolyn How was lunch today? You two seem to have slowed down on going to lunch. I hope it was good.

Mary I hope you can get out in the water to row.

Marie I hope all is well with you and your family.

Jean
 
Hi girls! 7 hrs later and we got to QC! Carolyn, I waved as we drove by NH;)!
Our hotel is so charming and my GPS was spot on getting us here.
Everyone's English is excellent here. Learning a tad bit of francais too.
Wow, you guys were active today! I'm on my tiny device and can't remember a fraction of what you guys posted.
Here beside the St Lawrence River it is windy like I have not experienced:confused:! Holy cow. Smells like river too.
It is supposed to be heavy rain tomorrow:confused:. Not sure what we'll do.
Ate veddy poorly today--all white flour:confused:.
Ttyl. Will catch up this weekend, esp to see your pics, Colleen!
(I had tiny DOMS from BB LB, just tightness.)
 
Hey!

My new position is going great. I was on a general MedSurg unit today. I've been learning some really cool stuff. I've been administering IV meds which is fairly new for me and also did some really cool wound care today. This guy had some huge ulcers on his tailbone. Yesterday I was in the emergency room shadowing a nurse. Unfortunately I didn't get to see anything too critical but I did see a couple cool lacerations. This one guy came in with his thumb almost cut off. I also saw a 10-month-old that fell down a flight of stairs who had a huge bump on his head and a cut on his forehead. I would've been a mess if I was that mom.

Ive been getting my workouts in too :) Today I did Hard Strikes for the first time and wow was that a fun workout. I can't believe she ended with the five push-ups five sit-ups combo. That one is killer!

Breckin is doing great. Such a little man :) we have been busy going to the park every day and going for lots of walks.

Have a good evening and good day tomorrow everyone. Hope to be back soon to do some more checking in.
 
Thanks Carolyn!!! I love the tank as well. I just have the one. I plan in making a stop at athleta today. I wish you could join me too! It would be so fun.

Betty, glad you made it safe. Enjoy your trip.

Marie, glad your new position is going well.

Today I did another MRT and the I did about 10 min on the bike the I did burn sets tri and the. Some stretching. It was a great workout.

Hi jean and Mary.
 
Good Morning....Its End of month for me...so I am crazy today!

Colleen---You look amazing!!! I also thought you were a blounde...hehehe

I just wanted to quickly check in...be back when I have a few moments!!! ;)
 
Colleen you look fabulous! I hope you are having a fun day today!

Finally the last day of school for us! And 8th grade graduation this morning. I got a little wistful, I used to go into the classroom when the kids were in elementary school and I haven't seen some of those kids since then. How quickly they have grown!

Oldest DD is off to Dallas for a national volleyball tournament, DH is flying down later. So no workout this morning as she had to be out the door at 6:30 and then I had to do my other dds' hair. I hope to do Yin yoga later, hope it will help me relax and sleep.

We took a vote at rowing last night and decided not to go out on the water, since it was rainy and cool. We did an indoor circuit workout and then went out for a beer. It was nice to socialize, but I'm kind of sorry we didn't take the boat out. From here I would have to sign up for the Master's program, which is 3 times a week including friday morning 6-8. I really liked it but I just don't think I can do that schedule. It is hard working all day and then spending 2 hours away from home, I got really tired this last week. But I'll keep an eye on the schedule and see if it works out next time. I definitely recommend it!

Carolyn, hope you are getting your workout in!

Marie, glad to hear your new position is going well.

Jean, will your DH ride with you? I imagine it is a huge adjustment to retire, maybe he will want a new hobby?

Missy, hope your day is not too crazy! TGIF!
