Morning girls, I didn't see a thread for this week? Did i miss it? Where is everyone...

No news on the job, so i guess whoever else they interviewed got it. What a load of crap:mad: I use to be a patient there...not anymore and YES I'm being bitter about it:p. Im sending out more resumes soon...im not going to give up. The right job is for me out there, somewhere.

the good news is that my DH got a little bonus at his work and were going to just blow it on junk(lol)! im getting an elliptical:eek: its not a super duper nice one (has a smaller stride for short people,LOL) but it will do for me:D I can't wait to get it. It will be today or on DH's next off day...sunday.

Well, for the past few days i have been kinda dilly danting with workouts. I did Jillians 30 day shred one day, then took a rest day(I did cut grass and walk the dog) yesterday was Jillians back in action...i tell ya, Jillian Michaels has good workouts that are tough and get the heart rate up but Man, why do i feel like i have to workout to Cathe in order to get a 'real' workout in? Its like i haven't worked out at all this week? Weird. She is responsible for getting me to where i am physically...maybe thats why? Anyhoot, i plan on doing something by her today.

so I will BBL to report something...
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is Supersets. I went for a 2 mile walk last night but its suppose to rain here today so I won't get a chance to walk tonite.

Amelia-sorry about the job buy yeah for the Elliptical.
 
My workout is done, did the Elliptical for 30mins(OMG:confused:) then did 10 mins on the treadmill. Burned 295...I also plan on walking the dog this evening with the kids.

have a good day!

Good Morning,

Suppose to be beautiful today so I am going to go for a walk and then do KCMs KB since I don't have MMA Fusion.
 
Hi everyone. I was out of town this week. Now it's back to reality.

Amelia, congrats on the eliptical purchase.

Roxie and Elaine how have you been this week?

I gained 3 1/2 pounds while on vacation. I was only gone 5 days and I didn't even splurge except on the alcohol drinks. I will increase my water and hopefully flush some of it out.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

Jean

omg, WHAT a weekend!!! There was a really bad lightening storm that came through here friday evening and we weren't here to unplug everything (but we do have surge protectors) and when we got home EVERYTHING WAS FRIED. Im talking my computer + modem, dh's big screen tv + dvr, nintendo wii and our phone...sigh:( Over 1400 dollars worth of damages. Im hoping our home owners insurance will cover it if not it was a very hard lesson to learn:( there goes our vacation $ :(

So, besides dealing with all that crap i have managed to get in some good workouts the past few days. I had to wait on my Elliptical, just can't afford to get it right now with all the damages which really sucks. I had my eye on one at Sears, think it was by proform or something but MAN, was it smooth. not a bad price either around 500 i REALLY wanted to take it home with me:p

Hello to everyone. I will try and bbl.
 
Good Evening,

DH and I went shopping today got a new pair of nikes and some workout clothes.

Amelia-sorry to hear about the lightening that really sucks.
 
Morning girls

The direct tv man is coming out today, YAY, maybe we can watch tv today and not movies:p

Called the home owners insurance and they will be sending out a tech to go over the damages in a few days...

I've already got my workout clothes on and now im deciding on what workout to do. I may wait until the direct tv guy is gone. I know I want to do weights...maybe finish off MM shoulders,biceps,triceps then legs.

I forgot to mention yesterday that i bought KPC+L&G on ebay super cheat (15$) and it should be here by the end of the week:eek::eek: hopefully its not a boot leg copy:confused:

Roxie-Yay on the new shoes and workout clothes! I love new workout stuff, makes working out a little bit more fun,lol.
 
Good Morning,

Today is suppose to be 4DS KB but its suppose to rain the next couple of days so I am going to go for a walk and then do the wts. from that workout.

Amelia-I am getting ready to place DM and BM2 on ebay if you want or need one of these I will sell them really cheap, I don't use them there is a dread factor on these two for me. Glad to hear you are getting everything taken care of.
 
Roxie, i have BM2 but would love DM...pm me:) any other Cathe workouts your selling?

My workout is done, decided on a 30 min interval on the treadmill then MM shoulders,biceps,triceps & legs(what i didn't get in the other day with MM)

Now were off to see if we can get our Nintendo wii fixed, My DH's friends is a wiz with stuff like that so were going to bring it to him. It may just need a power cord :eek:yay
 
Roxie, enjoy the new workout clothes. I love Nike stuff. Nice gym workout.

Amelia, sorry to hear about the electrical situation. We had a power surge or off site strike once and it was a big pain getting stuff replaced. If you had surge protectors, you might want to check with them because sometimes they warranty your items because their system failed to protect it. After we had the main items replaced, we would end up with something failing a few months down the line because wires inside the item got damage but not completely and then would finally die. What a pain.

Yesterday I only managed to get in my abs. Today I got up and had my first encounter with Insanity, well that would be the DVDs. I have encountered the other insanity lots of times, LOL. DD bought the series so I thought I would try one of the DVDs. I did better than I thought I would, but still spent more time laying on the floor just trying to breath than I should have, LOL. I don't think I will do the actually program(at least not right now), but may throw in a DVD here and there just to mix it up.

My weight is still up, so the water flushing didn't work. It just goes to show you how many calories are in alcohol drinks. We stayed at an all inclusive resort last week and I didn't eat very different, but I did enjoy a cocktail or two (or 3 or 4). Now please don't start thinking I'm an alcoholic, but when on vacation like this I do take advantage. I'll go months without drinking anything and then let lose a little on vacation.

Hi Elaine, how your week is off to a great start.

Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Jean
 
Good Morning,

DH and I went for a walk last night so I didn't get the wts. done last night if it doesn't rain I will walk tonite and then do the wts.

Amelia-DH said that surge protectors do no good during lightening just to much power for them to grab.

Jean-I would never think you are an acholoic vacation is when you are suppose to let loose.
 
Morning girls

No luck with the nintendo wii yesterday, maybe the insurance will replace it:(

we had a hard time last night...dh wasn't thinking and we ran out of gas on the way home:confused: we had to wait until his parents came and brought us some then the battery was dead so they had to jump us off...i tell ya ladies, im not sure how much more of this bad luck i can take:( I just keep telling myself that it could be worse, at least we have our health, DH has a good job and we have our home. Trying to stay positive here....

Todays workout will be some yoga then step for 30 minutes, not sure what im doing as far as step goes but the yoga will be Jillians new yoga workout, Yoga Meltdown.

Jean-Im sure your still holding onto water weight, sometimes my water weight will take over a week to flush out depending on were im at in my monthly cycle. We made a claim on our insurance yesterday and they will send someone out towards the end of the week to determine if it was lightening that caused the damage:)rolleyes:) I called the makers of the surge protectors Saturday and i have to have the surge protector receipts in order to make a claim with them...i can't find those receipts:(. I don't even remember keeping them. I will in the future. Very frustrating.

Hey to Roxie and Elaine, what are you ladies up too today?

I will bbl:)

Amelia-hang in there it has got to get better and yes you have alot to be thankful for. I wonder if the lightening affected the battery in your car!
 
Thanks Roxie, we were in the car when the lightening hit and a pretty good distance away from the storm, so thanfully i don't think it had anything to do with the storm. Im sure we just need to get another battery, that battery is about 3yrs old.

Ok, Jillian Micheals Yoga Melt down was FUN!!! It really kicked my butt(like she always does) it was over before i knew it...i will definitely be pulling this out a lot. I then hopped on the treadmill and did about 25mins of CCV1
