STS first time!

Jean, how fantastic! Did you ask him to make that for you? Or did it come straight from his heart?
Congrats on loading the pic!

Marie, I heard of the nasty snow business in your area! Ugh. What a downer. Too dang soon!

Carolyn, go to sleep early. You deserve it!
You use the funniest terms!:D
 
What on earth?? 7 am on a school holiday! I need to get up at the usual, 6:30. Or wait, maybe I can sleep a little later since I'm not working out.
Sleep well, my friends.
 
Good morning....up and on my bike....last night was css....tonight is low impact challenge....wow! I'm not gonna be able to move by friday....lol

Jean....I'm do diffrrwent programs on my bike some range from 0 to 18 in resistance....speeds just depend....on the resiatance....but I try to go fast as possible. I'm normally drenched when done....

The cold air is coming....not to happy about that! Friday is gonna be 32º I think I saw...errrr!!!!

Last night after dinner....I lounged in bed and watched tv...oh so nice after a long monday!

Today...another hectic day at work....but one day closer to friday! Bbl....have a nice tuesday!

Oh...how exciting....the new dvds are almost ready to comw to us....yipppeeee! !! Looks like when I finished this lis rotation...and will have the new ones!!!! Whoooohoooooo!!!!
 
Good sunny morning! I am eating my breakfast before I head off to my PA job. Mmmm, nothing like a fresh pot of DD coffee. Honestly, the perfect combination of coffee, cream, syrup only happen once in a while. Today's is good.

Missy, you are doing fabulously! Nothing like a Cathe rotation;). Remember to tread carefully.
Can't believe we're a month away from the new series!:D

Carolyn, I know what you mean about the guilt. But I think dh wouldn't mind kissing you on your cheek as you sleep on when he has to leave for work;).
So I'm reading that Bikram Yoga book I mentioned. It's very interesting. He maintains all yoga taught in the US that's not Bikram or hatha is bogus. Americanized to suit our lazier, fatter, weaker bodies. Diffferenct perspective. Anyway, I've been trying to do a couple of poses a night, some to strengthen my legs.
You be careful on your exercising.

Long day for me. I better get off. Have a great one. Take advantage of the mild day before the frigid air comes. (It's November, for heaven's sake!)
 
Carolyn...be careful...light lightly.....

Cathe rotation always makes me feel awesome....I just ate some blueberries for snack!

I too...always get up on my days off when Tim works and on the Saturdays too...I get him off to work and then I just stay up and start my day!

Betty.... I don't do coffee but I have to have my unsweetened tea...sipping on it right now! LOL

;)
 
:confused:My knee is achy today :confused:

Well...it hurts when doing some lunges and bending motion from time to time...but today its aching??? :mad:
 
Missy You're on a roll and I like it. Darn knee! Feel better! No lunges!

Carolyn Hope exercising goes well. I love that you get up with dh. You're such a good wife and mom :)

Betty Have a good day at work. I'm a black coffee girl but certain days I add creamer with today being one of those days :) Yum!

We snuggled and watched Curious George all morning. Now he is playing nicely :)

No school for dh today so it's been a relaxing morning. No workout today....just hanging with my boys! Dh has a crustless quiche in the oven :)

Soooo dh and I stayed up late last night and talked about everything and nothing all at the same time. It was nice! The word homeschool came up. It is just the very beginning of the discussion but we are weighing our options.

Ok back to going nothing :)
 
Jean :) Posting at the same time again. I agree about GG and LLA. I need to try that bonus.

70?!!!! Nice :) It's 28 and white out here!

Carolyn....its funny you say that...cause backwards lunges to do not bother me at all...but the others do....hmmmm......

Marie.... What a pretty pic.... we never see that...and when it comes near...we panic...LOL
 
Missy I remember Cathe saying in a workout that backwards lunges are best if you have bad knees.

Speaking of lunges, do you guys use Dixie cups? I don't feel like it would make a difference for my form but sometimes I think they would be fun.

Oh so I'm doing a plank challenge with a group of friends on Facebook. It's day 11 and we are up to 1m15s.
 
Good evening....just finished working out....so I put lic in...and quickly remembered this was toouch step for me....so half way through...and 150% frustrated. ... I stoped and cycled....and adjusted my sched and replaced all lic with lean legs and abs....errr!!! Its not that I don't like step....I just don't have time to learn it....

Marie....I think she said that in css...cause I did it yesterday....its the truth for sure!

Carolyn....I thought of u today.... I was chatting with my friend...and she asked me how I was.... I told her....well...I gave up my true love....running....and she was like whatever...running is not a love....I said you wouldn't understand...then I thought....oh my...if carolyn and I lived in same town...we would be a mess....we would go for a walk...and come back and have to ice for days....and then hit the pavement again....hehehe....I just have no self control....I go for a walk...and before I know it I was running.that's why I stopped walking for now....errrr!!!
 
Omg, you guys! LOVE all the posts! I won't remember most of them to comment! I'm wiped! I worked 7 hrs but it was hardly taxing. Mostly typing correspondence and filing! I even walked to the post office (stupidly not remembering it's a holiday)! I even almost went to the library! I realize working these two jobs = my brain turning to larger sieve holes because I can't remember much any more! Even things right under my nose! My problem is I'm still trying to do it all! I never want to disappoint! Ugh.

Crap, Jean! That sucks you have a sore throat! I second the tea and honey. Then eat garlic and take zinc supplements. (Dh says he feels a scratchy throat right now but refuses to take them.)
You made smile after such a long day! Thank you! Please do come and visit! I'd love to have you all! I'm sad to say that I get no compliments in this household. Nada, zip! No appreciation. No respect. Maybe now that I work two jobs I am less patient, the cup runneth over, and it's very much bothering me. More than usual.

Carolyn, come closer, I'm going to slap you!:D
In the future, picture us as the voice of reason on one shoulder, and your docs & PT on your other shoulder! No way to stray!
I hope your pain subsides overnight.

Marie, I use dixie cups, and the front lunges are SO effective with them! Cathe was ingenious when she created them!
I think I'm going to be sick seeing your snow!:confused:
But how fab the family home time! I'd be so awed by you homeschooling. I can't do it!

Missy, come closer, I'm going to slap you!:D
Take it easy on yourself! Don't want the pain to be irreversible!

Omg, I had THE most painful and long charley horse this evening! I was crouched and writhing in pain and I didn't know how to make it subside! I was sitting and leaning my legs on a stability ball and was flexing my right leg and off it went into this arthritic charley horse. I wanted to cry, it wouldn't stop!

ttyt. A good night to all.

Good foggy morning. Mild though! I just got my UPS pkge with my phone case. Yay! It's the little things, right? I doubt it'll protect it from breakage.
I did XT Legs with Rear Delts! Yay! I don't know when the last time was I did this part of shoulders with XT.
 
Lazy morning! Watching Daniel Tiger and snuggling. I ended up in b's bed last night cuz he had trouble falling asleep. I honestly think I screwed up by starting to snuggle with him before bed.Now he won't go to bed without it. The problem is we snuggle but then when I leave he cries. I hate to have to snuggle him till he falls asleep especially since he takes so long sometimes. Hmmm oh well we well figure it out.

We got up at 8....a half hr before his toddler class so we decided to skip.

No workout today. I need to get back on the train tomorrow.

My friend is having an Arbonne party today at 2 so we have that and then our nieces' school play this evening.

I'm with Betty on slapping you goofy ladies....uh hem....Carolyn and Missy ;) I hate seeing you guys in pain...ugh!!!!

Betty Shame on your family for no compliments...you are an awesome wife and mom!!!

Oh wow it's 11 and I've accomplished nothing except for drinking a half pot of coffee. Breakfast was applesauce packets and peanut butter toast on the couch.
 
Jean we are so good at posting at the same time ;) Nice job on the workout and good luck painting. Mine would look like a two year old did it haha! That and wrapping presents. Not my strong suit ;)
 
You guys are wonderful. Snuggle with your babies while you can. Do not feel guilty. We used to tiptoe with our kids too. All these years later we are still a very quiet household.
Work phones were insane. After, I had to go to Trader Joe's. Last mild day.

Marie, I've never heard of Arbonne. Is it a pyramid thing?

Jean, I listened to that sonata. Beautiful! Yikes, it's fast. I'm a slow player because it requires so much coordination to play with both hands and move it all over.
I walk my neighbor's dog and let him poop on people's yards but pick it up. Is that a no-no?
Straight painting can't be messed up, right? Like sewing straight lines? It'll come out great.

Carolyn and Missy, how's your pain?

Jean and Colleen, how are your--I'm drawing a blank on a word--issues?
