STS first time!

Don't drop your phone in your Calgon:D!
I did tricep dips on the mini step for Boot Camp the other day. All of them. Nada doms!
 
Good morning....oh my....yesterday was full of stress....after months of extrwmw hard work trying to find new health insirance polocies for our office....the docs and I came to the conclussion we could not afford it anymore.... the cheapest group plan went up 35%.... $24, 000 a year. ....jist not budgetable....so late yesterday we broke the news to employees. ... so now....I will try to help everyone find a individual plan...more work...errr!!!

Onto good things....last night I did one of my favorites....tbt lower body...oh yeah!!! Gotta love those dixie cups....speaking of dixie cups....I say a preview for one of the new workouts on fb....oh my....I'm pumped and ready....looks so fun!!! Just can't wait!

Betty....marie...yall make me giggle....and yes I need a beating from timw to time.....I was jist going to register for a run....and then I read the post and said....umm.m....I better not! Lol

Carolyn....how is the pain?
Jean....how is youe throat?

Tonight is spin class....fingers crossed I feel awesome....so I can go....I'm okay at the moment...bit there os a cold front pushing through today and I have sinus drainage....yuck! Oh well....as long as I don't have a bad sinus headache....I will be spinning at 5:30!

Be back in a bit....
 
I can't do it either. Disappointed.

Very busy at work, big project due right before Thanksgiving. Who plans these things?
 
Yikes, it's fast-paced! I suppose all HiiT is?? I can't do dixie Cup lunges fast. (I feel those doms from yesterday)
Fun to watch though, and different, I'll give Cathe credit for. Night exercise is not as fun:confused:

Missy, what a huge headache at work! More power to you! In MA we have a system in place for individual coverage, and the system should be improved for open enrollment after a huge costly fiasco.

Mary, you're awesome and will champion through. Sending you cyber mental strength.

It's sunny!
 
Carolyn That is so good to hear about your kids. I love snuggling and he is so loving which I just love. He is fill of hugs and kisses :) I had to laugh at the sqeaking of the floor board. Sounds like my life over here haha!

Betty Love Trader Joe's!!! And yup like Carolyn said about Arbonne...they also sell supplements. And yes definitely a pyramid. The rep mentioned becoming a consultant or hostess at least 10 times. I mean I guess that is how they make their money but it's just so not for me. I wouldn't even have a party. My friend that hosted it can't say no so that's how she got warped into it. To each their own but not my thing.

Missy What a bummer about the insurance. That is a really tough situation. You are so awesome that you well help everyone find an individual plan. I'm so glad nurses don't deal with that stuff. Too confusing for me lol.

Jean Oh my goodness the clip! So glad you posted it.I saw it on Facebook last night. Yes yes YES! I'm so beyond pumped!!!! Carolyn and Mary I'm SO sorry. Seriously I could cry for you. Ugh! This new series is definitely going to be intense. I do like the shorter length. My mom ordered too so we will be doing them together.I'm excited!

Hi Mary! Good luck with your project!

Snuggles this morning while watching Curious George. I just hate that we have been watching tv. I've just been so tired these past few mornings. Dh is a night owl and I've been staying up with him. Leads to no workout in the morning though and if I don't workout then it doesn't happen later.

Swimming lessons soon :)

And I have my coupon class tonight! Excited :)
 
We are on a roll Jean haha! Glad to hear your throat is better. Good luck with the dresser. Sounds so pretty!
 
I worked 6.5 hrs today. I was so productive, though I didn't have enough work to keep me all those hours. So I ended up filing all the crap that previous people have left stacked everywhere. This man generates TONS of mail and paper! Practically double copies of everything! Not counting the original handwritten version in yellow paper. I went to the post office yesterday and today! (I wonder if people eventually cringe at his constant letters or requests, but then I see past correspondence of his and he is always kind and considerate, never demanding.) I wonder if he thinks he needs 16 hrs a week from a not-as-productive person. I'll be keeping my eye on that. Every other week I have fewer hrs to give because of shuttling to piano. I'm starting to think that he already has a writer for the book, so that's great.

Jean, don't feel bad about cancelling! Take pride in what you already do! I wouldn't want to do all that impact jumping, and until recently seeing Cathe still so springy, I was going to avoid altogether too. My present mindset is, if Cathe can still do it, I will try too.

Marie, you and your mom are so awesome.
I know exactly what you mean about the pyramid stuff. My neighbor sells supplements and I got into taking them, but could never see myself hosting or 'encouraging' others to buy. I don't have it in me.

Carolyn, that's just the goal to keep your eye on and keep you motivated. Don't get discouraged; you WILL get there!

Better start dinner. We have eaten waaaay too much meat this week so tonight is a vegan split pea soup. I thought it would be cold enough for soup but it was mild and windless today, so very nice.
 
Good evening...makinh chili as its cold! Gonna be freezing tomorrow!

Omg...just saw another clip to the new series...I may have to modify some...but I'm pumped and ready!!!!

Did upper body trisets today....did not go to spin class as my docs let us go home at 3 and I wasn't gonna hang in town 2 1/2 hrs to go....there's always next week!

Weather man says 24º on wednesday....yeah...I'm gonna freeze to death....

Bbl....hungry!
 
Good morning! There is a coating of snow but the sun is back out! TGIF, my friends.
I decided on PRS #1 today after I flipped through and rejected XT. There's always such a fun factor in this one.

Missy, step reminds me that I forgot to comment on your LICh comment. I gave up on that workout after PRS came out--too frustrating and it's no fun by comparison! I thought, why bother any more?
What a treat that you got out of work at 3! New-found time that I wouldn't stay around for spin either.

Jean, I like the plumbing place because there are other people around--I like my coworkers; hate the phones though. At the PA job, it's me and him, and we're both silent while we work. There's no noise!
Post a pic of your new dresser after you're satisfied with it.
I would like to sell some of my old Cathes. Need to time it for the 1st of the year, when all the crazies start their NY resolutions!:D

Anyone else like cafe mochas? I can't enjoy them any more since they don't taste good with coconut or almond milk. But I had to make one this morning since dh finished the coffee and didn't make a new pot!:confused:
Reminder to self: me knees no likey step workouts
 
Good Morning....late for me...but I was busy this morning...as it was freezing outside! My doc that was out sick yesterday, called me early this morning to let me know he was not coming in today as he is still sick. He tested positive for the flu. :confused::(:eek:So...we are taking tons of messages...and I will call him at home later to get treatment plans for patients....eek!

It is really cold here in the south...and I no like!

Betty.... I feel the same....I have no time to site and master step combos.... just give me basic stuff with weights and Im HAPPY!

Jean...Sheldon is coming around....Last night was cute! Did you watch?

Im a no coffee drinker... I do love my unsweet tea and can not live without it!:D:oops: Yes Im addicted...its an everyday stop for me....Dunkin Donuts...for my 0 calories tea!

be back in a bit!
 
Work was busy with tons of invoicing more than anything. I couldn't leave till 3!

Jean, my guy has other sporadic people working for him. When I get there, I see that some things have been done, but I can't tell when or by whom.
I LOVE that you love reading. Me too!

Carolyn, how do you feel now? Didn't you have a PT appt this past week?
DH and I are on different planets. Good for you guys for getting in couple time.

It was cold today. Yuck.
 
Hello from the cardiac unit. Is it 11:30 yet?! I'm ready to go now. It was a good shift but all 4 of my patients have been sleeping for the past hour and no one needs helps so here I sit.

No workout today. Ugh what is my deal. I did go for a walk on my break...woohoo ;)

Spent the morning hanging with my two favorite guys! Nothing better. Dh is going hunting tomorrow and I have to work evening shift so he is taking ds with :( I hate being away from him overnight. Nana is going to watch him.

My coupon class was fun....speaking of I found an old paper at work and clipped out some good ones :)

Betty- I LOVE mochas but try to stay away from them. I'm more of a latte girl when I go to coffee shops. Plain no flavor please.

Missy- Oh ick the flu?! I got my flu shot and B gets his on Monday at his 2 year appt. Now I just have to continue to convince dh to get his.

Jean- Enjoy your alone time and your book. Sounds so peaceful :) Thanks for posting that clip. I seriously need to get into weight lifting.

Carolyn- Woohoo! I'm so happy you got to workout! How exciting :)
 
Carolyn Yay for DOMS and no pain!!!

Snuggles and George this morning. Quiche in the oven. Target before work. That's my day. All good minus the work ;) Love my job but I'd rather be with my boys. Oh and good news, dh decided not to go hunting :) It's freezing here!!!
 
Hi there. Sunny and only upper 30s today.:confused: Dh and I took my nephew to his basketball and soccer games. My bro and sil are away for the weekend.
Jean, the beaded clutch sounds gorgeous. Pic? I LOVE beaded anything. And the robes too. I've never heard of them.
Carolyn, high five for doms AND no pain! Take it slow.
Going to warm up by the fire with a hot cup of tea and a movie (Chef).
ttyl
 
Carolyn, is the pain the DOMS??
I'm getting tired of doing the nightly exercises. I do more Bikram or stretch poses than stretching my shoulders. Must continue regardless.
 
Cardiac unit again today. Honestly this unit is always soooo slow. Drives me nuts. I mean don't get me wrong I love having some free time at work but not this much. I can't believe it's only 7. Forgive me if I start rambling....

My niece came over today before I left for work. She is 14. Yesterday one of her friend's passed away. OMG it is SO beyond sad I can't even handle it. She is pretty torn up. He collapsed during a hockey tourament yesterday and he couldn't be resuscitated. They brought him to the hospital but died on the way. Ugh it's just so unfair. That poor family :( I just couldn't imagine!!!

Four patients tonight. I got here and saw that one of them was 113 years old. I was all excited to take care of someone that old. The oldest I knew was the cutest little old lady at the nursing home I worked at. She died at 106 years old. Anyways, I notice this 113 year is full code meaning he wants CPR is needed. Very odd at that age. Most tend to switch to DNR- Do Not Resuscitate later in life. I mention it to the nurse I was getting report from and she says, "Oh that's a mistake, he's 67 not 113." How bummed was I haha! Anyways we got it changed.

Jean- What a cool
 
Carolyn, I totally agree about the cupping a hot mug. Though I do enjoy drinking hot water when it's cold out!

Marie, do you buy any of the Boots No7 products at Target?
Glad dh stayed home from hunting.
Wait, I just saw your post, even though I refreshed before I started my post.
How sad for that boy and all who knew him!:(
How was that poor person thought to be 113??
Hang in there a while longer for end of shift;)
 
Carolyn, it is DOMS, not hurting pain? That's good!

I agree on the 13 yr old, very sad and I don't know how a parent recovers from that.

I got up and went on a very long walk this morning. It was so cold and I probably wasn't dressed properly, but it felt great to get outside and it was so peaceful, no one else out. Wish I had a walking buddy though. I have not been able to get rid of my chill so dh made a fire already.

It is dh's bday today so we are going out to dinner. And I had ordered him a gift from Amazon, and their stuff always comes in a plain brown box. Well wouldn't you know, this came with a photo of the item on the outside of the box. Of course he was home when it came and he brought it in. I put it away and told him to act surprised!

Have a good day!
