Trying to Fit Yoga in For Friday Nov 23

[lorajc]

okay ........I swear I typed this this morning but can't find it any where.......guess I'm losing it.

This morning I did Tracey's Total Body Segment from the step DVD (banged my player around a bit and got it to work...but it was making a loud grinding noise) and then I did Amy's Dome Challenge followed by Tracey's Total Body from the Parts DVD. This workout felt like more of a core workout than anything! I thought the ab segment on the Tracey's step DVD was excellent and made up for the lack of abs on the Parts DVD. Workout was 1 hour and 20 minutes and I burned 426 calories.

I wanted to thank Yve and Jen! Jen - you always pinpoint things when I'm discussing my DH and problems! It's funny how you are always right on the money! and Yve - you are so understanding of the type of personality he has! I thank the Lord for my dear Yoga friends! I don't know what I'd do without you ladies!

Just got back from Black Friday shopping.........mall was crazy.

Hi ladies! No WO for me yet, but it is coming today. I feel like I need something more fun than Barry's today, but I also think there are benefits to sticking with the madness that is that workout, so I may do it. It also is a beautiful day here (but a lil' on the chilly side) so I am considering just going for a walk to ease back into things. I am going to fuel up with a protein shake and then I will decide.

Lora-You sound much better today! That is good news! Hope you enjoyed the shopping in all the craziness of it. I used to like to shop on days like today, but I don't enjoy crowds very much anymore. It was great to be at home and sleep in. With the exception of a workout, DH and I will be vegging out and watching TV.

Yve-Glad your dad is continuing to do better and your mom is hanging in there. [font color=slate blue size=+2] :.*:.*:.* It's a boy! :.*:.*:.* [/font] That is very exciting news!!! Sounds like you are doing so well too & enjoying this time in your life. You must be excited to be getting farther along now-are you at the point where you are comfortable sharing the news with more people? LOL on the thighmaster comment...no DH does have one, I was just giving an example.

Have a great day ladies! I will BBL after WO.

Jen -.....me and the DH got into again this morning...but it was more of a joking type of fight. I told him he's stuck with me so quit threatening to leave......cuz I went and looked at the bills and I can't afford to live on my own........so I told him tuff crap! You're stuck with me buddy! I think he was just happy that I admitted it costs a lot to live. He's still the same ol' meanie....don't get me wrong.........and I got to tell his sister's he's been a real BAS@%#$ to me lately when we visited yesterday cuz I got all emotional and tearful when they asked how I was and I pointed at him and then sort of told them both how bad he's been and they KNOW HOW he can be!!! So they gave me a hug and that felt better to get it out and then I didn't feel like I needed to "despise" them and had an okay visit. I guess I just have to put up with my grumpy DH cuz that's the way it is. Yve is so right on with knowing his personality. I'm not sure if my DH would be able to take me leaving him...............but he talks a good game and walks a good walk. Says he doesn't need me at all.....but I think he'd freak out if I ever let another man take me out! For goodness sakes.....when I won a contest and got to meet the Red Hot Chili Peppers.....he wasn't allowed to come in the room with me to meet them cuz I won the contest, not him and he almost wouldn't let me go. I said....what do you think we're gonna do? I'm just gonna say hi and get an autograph!!! He's very controlling of me.

Yve - I have a nephew named Zachary. I like that name very much. Congrats. I'm so happy for you and your DH.

I went to Walgreen's this morning to pick up my check. I hugged the manager and thanked her for the opportunity to work there and told her how helpful everyone one was and then I said that perhaps I could work some weekends here and there for extra money. Don't know where that came from!! Yikes......maybe not now....but in the future. I really did like helping the customers.....you know me and my beauty products. Too bad it wasn't the MAC counter though!! LOL.

I ended up spending more money at Buckle! Bought a couple of those long cami tanks with lace on the bottom to layer under my tee's ...but I got $10 off using my Buckle card. I'm sooooooooooo broke now between BPAL and Christmas shopping.

I've decided I'm doing cardio tomorrow......no rest day cuz I ate too much the other day.

Just got home from dinner and we went to my Mom's, as my niece from Columbus is visiting, as well as my sister and husband and their 2 kids. It was a nice visit considering I'm not particularly close with my sisters. We are POLAR opposities.....she's a schmoozer and loves to entertain and is a real "Martha Stewart" type who doesn't exercise and is overweight and acts like an "old fart".......not trying to be mean.....just not anything like me. You wouldn't catch her in a pair of low cut jeans and high top Converses like me, nor would you catch her listening to rock. Funny how we get raised the same and end up so different!
