STS first time!

Hiya. I was about to leave work at 2 when the phones started going berserk. It was bad internet and phone service from our provider. Customers all decided to call simultaneously then, and we couldn't answer the calls! It was insanity. I left at 3.

Missy, great visual of your path from bed to treadmill! I too am literally foggy-eyed when I start Cathe, but it's usually about 25 mins after I get up since I do OP first and then drink my water.

Jean, I agree about PBS and the British shows they air. Love them!
I've never opened squat rack legs. Does it have barbell squats? Or endless dreaded moves?:confused:
I like Kelly! And Michael is a hoot! Love him too!
 
Good evening... laying in bed watching tv...as I'm very sore!!! I just rubbed biofreeze allover my knee..... chiropractor said....mis aligned pelvis.....did adjustment....we shall see.....I huet like hell at the moment!!!!

Check back in the am....
 
Good glorious day, friends. Sunny, dry, and breezy. We don't expect the rain that Jean experienced.

Carolyn, enjoy your family BBQ. How fun! It's a ton of work (lazy, anyone?:p), but it expends calories. You have great weather.

Jean, if you can do squat rack legs, then it must not be bad; that would be just my speed. I love slow moves, low reps, and long rests! Lazy, anyone?:p I would use weights too. Thanks! Another one for my legs arsenal.
I keep thinking about selling my unused or no-longer-want Cathes on eBay; best time would probably be next January when people start the New Year resolutions!
Sorry, I'm not interested in Extant.

Missy, sorry for your pain. How is it today? How does your pelvis get misaligned, so I can avoid it?:p

Mary, are you back from the Cape yet?

Hi Marie and Colleen!
 
Jean- I wish the hospital regulated food. They should! Especially for patient's like that. People can order as much as they want. Ridiculous!

Missy- Get that darn knee better. You and Carolyn and your injuries. I just feel so bad! Yay for being done with Orange but also a bummer because man it is good right?! LOVED that last episode. Right now I'm obsessed with So you think you can dance? Does anyone watch that or The Bachlorette? I was hoping to watch Big Brother. I watched it last season but it's not on Hulu and it's hard for me to have to sit down at a certain time every week between work and B's schedule. Oh well!

Betty- Like you, I haven't even opened Squat Legs. Maybe I should. I have been trying to expand my Cathe horizons lately ;)

Carolyn- I envy your pool time. So relaxing!

Working with the cute babies again today although it's slow as heck. Discharged one mom baby couplet and the other one is pretty independent.

I haven't worked out in three days and I feel like a hog. Yesterday on mom baby it was so busy and I didn't have time to eat breakfast. By the time I did I was famished and chowed a bagel. A nurse had brought in a bunch of them along with cream cheese. Let me just tell you that thing sat in my stomach like a dang rock. I don't know how people can eat like that everyday. I'd be ill not to mention I'd weigh 2 bills.

We are leaving to go camping on the North Shore for 2 weeks on Sunday and I'm beyond excited to get dirty lol. We will be hiking and having campfires. B is going to love it! We borrowed a nice three room tent from my FIL. So excited! I completely shut down all technology and just get away when we go camping. It is great just to be able to focus on the moment.

Alright off to help my patient breastfeed :)

Have a great day everyone!
 
Hello!

We got back from the Cape last night. We had a wonderful 2 weeks, but I honestly don't know where the time went. My sis and I did a long walk most mornings, and sometimes one of my dds joined in. DDs also had friends stay with us at different times. It was a nice time to spend with family, very relaxing, and I do not want to get back into the grind here!

Looks like I have alot to catch up on here. I also have to get motivated to do a workout. Will try to check back later.
 
Carolyn- What a great day! Your family does the coolest things. I love hearing about them.

Mary- Sounds like a lovely trip. Glad you had a good time.

Jean- Just the three of us. Yay :) I love family stuff but it's nice to just have T, B and me time. I'm jealous of your leg DOMS ;) Nothing better ;)

Working with the babies again. I got to give a bath. Best part of the job. However the bath usually comes with a Hepatitis B vaccine which I hate giving. I don't mind giving injections to adults but those poor babies are just so tender :(

Can't believe it's almost noon. It's been a busy morning. One mom just delivered so I'll be taking over that patient soon.
 
Hiho. Gorgeous day.
Carolyn, how absolutely fun your day sounded! I've never done a duck tour meself and would love to try it. How did you like it? Your sister's game was amazing! SO creative! Is it a big milestone for your mom? That Shutterfly album must be gorgeous, a treasure, to be sure.

Marie, unplugging from electronics is so rejuvenating! Ds and I just played Uno briefly. Start your kid young and he'll like camping. My kids are so indoors it's not funny.

Mary, I hope vacation was rejuvenating for you. How great for you to spend quality time with your sis and DDs.

Good cloudy, very humid morning! I did a LL&A premix with barre. My legs need to slim down.
I need to preorder when I get home from work!:p Should do abs too.:rolleyes:

Carolyn, where did your big group go dine? Where did you all park? Challenges in themselves. It still sounded so much fun.
Don't ever stop regaling us with the details. Loved it.
What a blast your non-electronics day sounded! High five!;)

Jean, I looked at the squat racks clip. I can't lift heavy weights yet so I'll have to hold off.
Are you getting one of those Downton Abbey figurines?:D

bbl. Have a great day!
 
Hi Girls!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Saturday I went for a nice long walk and Sunday I started ballet body BBPSII. Dh and I put up my wall mounted ballet barre. I will take a picture and post it soon. Mirrors will come later. Not sure when.

Wow what a difference with the wall mounted barre vs the portable barre!
 
Hi Carolyn. It different because you can pull away from the barre. With a portable barre it's too unstable to pull way. It allows you to go deeper in certain positions because you have more stability.
 
Hi friends. The phones were insane today! Barely had time to do my work. I left at 3:30:confused:
One week from today I'll be flying to CA! Yippee!!
Idk why but when I am replying to our thread now, I can no longer see the previous 10 posts.:mad:

Carolyn, you did say Maggiano's; sorry to make you repeat. I don't have time to go back and re-read anymore!:( I've eaten there once or twice at Xmas luncheons for people I worked with over 20 years ago. Food is pretty good.
Will you try to make an appt with ortho?

I just realized the 15th is tomorrow. Should I procrastinate and preorder tomorrow??

Today is grotesquely humid.
 
Good morning...sorry Ive been MIA.... super busy! Tim and I have been price shopping and looking at different options for a garage/shed/storage for the motorcycle...needs to be enclosed since my meow meows (outside cats) like to lay on the seats! hehehe :eek:

It is disgusting HOT!!!!

So I have been trying to rest a bit....but Saturday I tried to run and could not....3 minutes in and I was in lots of pain.... tried again sunday....not happening..... damn it... all I want to do is exercise...nothing I do my left leg likes.... I was so frusterated.... then my back started hurting sunday when I layed in bed.... I swore to Tim we needed a new bed.... Our mattress is non-flipable.... so you can only turn it..... I got so angry....I turned around a put my head at the foot of the bed and went to sleep.... Then crazy....Monday I woke up and ran for 20 minutes with NO pain.... and then yesterday afternoon I was incrediabley sore (left Leg...from hip to knee) My doc thinks its IT band.... gave me stretches to do....did the same last night...head at foot of bed.... ran 20 minutes this morning..... we shall see if I can walk later...LOL.... I told my doc that I work for.... I am at the point of just pushing past the pain...since nothing I do is helping.... I have been dealing with this for over a year...and Im sick of it.... he said if stretching does not help....I can try seeing a PT.... Not what I want to do though!!!!

So...Im at work and crazy.....

I will be back in a bit to catch up

Hope everyone has a nice day!!!

Oh..... I do think I need to focus on trying to be a bit more flexible....what do you think best option for that is.... yoga? ballet barre? or just stretching..... we all know I get frustrated with yoga...but if it may help...Im willing to give it a shot???? Any suggestions or ideas????

Thanks!;)

BBL!
 
Carolyn...I was thinking of orders those 2 dvds to see if I can do it.... I panic...cause its not heart pounding too... I think its cause once you have the love for running....its hard to not run..... I mean....It always makes me feel so good! And to give it up..... I am just having a hard time with it!:mad:
 
Hiya, all. A soupy mess weather-wise. Tropical humidity:confused:, though that word conjures up tranquil south pacific beach images. It is anything but beautiful.
Forget the idea of exercising on Tues and Thu. I have errands to run and all kinds of things to do, though at the moment I can only remember and name a few. It's all floating around in my head, cluttering it up.
Have to wash that gray right outta my hair, for one. Practice, file, get some things ready for our trip.
Have I mentioned how wacky trying to get anything done for the past weekdays has been? Last Tuesday after lunch my mom decided to come over. Then the next day, and daily since then, someone calls me, and I'm on the phone for nearly an hour. My siblings each took a turn calling, my cousin in between, and my neighbor (who started working around the same time as me and was a SAHM for as long as me and I hadn't talked to) yesterday! My mom's coming over again today later in the afternoon! I can't get diddly done. When I have a few minutes, I go on the computer.:rolleyes: Time gets sucked up fast during that.
I am looking forward to seeing ds in CA. I can't tell if he feels the same. It's like pulling teeth to communicate with him.

Missy, Carolyn has sage advice. Take care to heed it.
I hope you both get through this difficulty soon, as I pray for my own speedy recovery from my frozen shoulders!

Ok, I just scarfed down a haagen dazs bar. Oink. Next time I need to split it with ds.
Must. Get. Off.
 
Carolyn, would your PT let you go see him without a doc's script? Mine wouldn't. If you can, and insurance covers it, go for one session. He was a gem!
Congrats on your preorder! I rarely wear the Who's the Boss shirt Cathe gifted us.
 
IDK what the heck is wrong with the Cathe tablet app. I can't see previous posts when I reply now so I can never remember what was said. Till later!
I'm going for almost two weeks and ds is not coming home just yet.

Jean, you're funny! And right about UY/Travis, guys.
I'll have to remember the bread trick! Neat!
You make sure Frank stays safe on that ladder!

I think I underhydrated myself again.:confused: What a dummy! I have a heavy head and stiff neck.
Off to bed.
