Trying to Fit Yoga In for Tues Nov 13

[lorajc]

Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Amy's Step Challenge 2. I attempted all combos ...1-5. and then did the Power Up segment x 2. More like I learned a step here and there and did my own version......frustrating. I may never learn this.......patience and tolerance are running low today! I wish I was better at picking her coreography up. Maybe I'll have to break down and actually do the tutorial, as I could see it being fun after you learn it (if possible). Workout was 70" and I burned 619 calories....was beet red in the face and soaked! My knee and ankle are hurting. I wish my bike would get fixed so I could spin and do some lower impact...as I've been doing too much impact lately.

I also did Slim & Sculpt Pilates for Legs & Abs with the band 20" and Body Wisdom's Yoga for Neck & Tight Shoulders 38".

Gotta run........have to go get my PPD for my new job and other errands to run and then going over Mom to make BPAL samples and packs. I don't work at Walgreen's 'till Friday this week. The DH isn't happy with the new job I got. He's been such a bear lately.....can't take it anymore.

Thanks for the congrats on the job.....still nervous about my abilities. My DH wants me to not tell Walgreen's ahead of time that I'm leaving. He wants me to go in on the 19th and tell them I quit at the end of my shift....cuz he said if I tell them now, they might tell me they don't need me to work this week and we need the money. I feel bad doing it that way..................what do you guys think? Do you think if I tell them now that I can work until the 19th that they'll keep me 'till then? My DH wants me to be off for Thanksgiving and the day after.


Jen - did you like Tank Top Arms? I have that DVD and haven't done it yet. Should I pull it out?

Goodmorning ladies,

Thankfully today is quieter workwise - and so can take a bit of a breather (for now). I will go to ashtanga tonight - and will also try to walk there.

Lora - RE leaving Walgreens - this is a tough one. I think that if they are short staffed - they won't let you go immediately if you give notice. If it were me, I think that I would give them 2 weeks notice - and would likely just call in sick for the holiday weekend. In my experience - the only time they let go of people upon notice is if they have security rules in place that require this - banks often have this rule. Is the owner a reasonable person? I think that if you went in and explained that you were hired for a ft position in the field where all of your experience lies - he would understand. He may have already suspected that you would continue looking for a job - considering how different this job is from all of your previous jobs. What do you think?

Jen - Hope that all goes well today.

Hi ladies! No WO for me tonight. Visit w/IVF doc was as we expected and he gave us only a 15% chance with our own "materials". Well, I am trying to look at the bright side of this, but I still feel like a deer in headlights. We met with the Egg Donation Coordinator today after talking with the doctor and I have to say that she impressed me more than anyone else on staff. She's just one of those people that puts you at ease and makes you feel like everything's going to be okay. DH and I had a lot to talk about and I think we have decided to go ahead and go for it anyway. I think we have to know that we did all we could to have our own biological child. It will be crazy expensive-but at least we'll have no regrets or wondering what could have happened if we didn't follow through. Thanks again for listening all your support!

Lora-Tank top arms was okay. I really wanted to like it and I really like Minna, but I guess it ultimately felt like a waste of time. It was really too short to accomplish anything of significance. I don't mind intermediate cardio every now and then, but intermediate weights feel like a wasted workout. I keep reading about making every workout count and about how you should be doing something to "advance" each time you workout-this did not fit the bill. Maybe you will come away with a different take on it. I have no advice on the Walgreens situation-that's a toughie!

Yve-Glad you are finally getting back to some reasonable work hours! Hope you enjoyed your workout and your walk. Thanks for the well wishes today. I appreciate and NEED your positive energy!

Have a great night everyone!
