Hello ladies!

I was much more productive today than yesterday. Cleaned the house, did the laundry and worked out today. I got my 5 workouts in last week! YAY! Okay, but I did eat like a pig last night at our get together. Oh well. It was good.

Sounds like everyone here has been very productive as well.

I want to order a new workout dvd (it can be Cathe or not), but I'm so indecisive. I want a single dvd, not so much a pack like P90X kind of thing. Any suggestions? What are some of your must haves?

hi lisa - thanks for starting the thread. great job with the workouts! and very good question. do you have bm2 or drill max? i love them for their variety with the premixes. i would love to hear what anyone recommends though. i need a new kickbox dvd - i do kpc so much i have it memoriezed. i tried amy's kbx and did not care for it. the whole thing felt awkward. any suggestions?

we had such a fun weekend - lovely weather, and dh and i went out for a date yesterday. this is a very rare event, and i had a good time. now to ditch the guilt....

workouts were good last week - lots of running. i love spring!
sun - step blast, low max blast only
mon - run 8mil
tues - cardio funsion scrambled, butts and gutts lower body blast
weds - run 8 mil, pub
thurs - imax 3, walk 2 mil
fri - run8 mil
sat - run 8 mil

finn's last day care at the terrible place is today. i will miss his teachers as they are all so nice. he and i will visit the new place on tues and weds, then thurs will be his first regular day. i hope for a sooth transition for my little guy.

take care everyone, and have a good monday
 
Hi ladies!

I completed 4 workouts last week. I didn't find time for the 5th workout. My plan is to complete the Slim Series this week with some Spinervals. Oh, and Leaner Legs. I am on a Leaner Legs kick.

Lisa, I have no idea what to recommned.

Morris, the date with your hubby sounds fun. :) I hope Finn's transition to the new day care goes well.

My poor DH fought to solve a car problem. The man is so stubborn about taking a vehicle to a mechanic. now, don't get me wrong... I love it that he can fix things and doesn't mind to get his hands dirty... but there is a point when you go to the professionals. :) We did have a nice evening Saturday (our anniversary).

Well, I am off to swing with my DD. Talk to you later!
Autumn
 
Happy Anniversary Autumn! Hope that car gets fixed soon. Yay, for the workouts last week.

Morris - I do have BM2 and Drill Max and love them both. Did you try Kick Max? I have Kick Max and I do the blasts first and then the combos and then the leg drills. I don't like doing it with the combos first because I don't feel like my heart rate goes anywhere in the order the dvd is in. I usually don't like much kickboxing dvds because I took a kickboxing class for a long time and they're sooo much better than dvds. We did actual drills and kicked and punched mitts and bags. It was a lot of fun. Do you have anywhere you could take a real class, and not the turbokick classes either, but real kickboxing classes. You would love them. High intensity and a lot of fun. Good to get your stress out also.

Melanie - I hope work is better these days.

Anne - I got your FF message, I still have to reply back though. I will, if not tonight tomorrow morning.

I'm off to the airport to pick up the in-laws from their trip. I can't wait to watch HEROES tonight!!! And The Bachelor (I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm addicted this season)! Have a great night gals!

Just a quick note to say "Hi"! Currently I'm super stressed about my work situation. I am having trouble 'liking' the people I work with and I"m sure it shows. On a spritual level I know I"m suppose to forgive them, but I'm really having trouble with it...since I feel so violated. I've taken steps to possible relocate 4 hours North of here. This will be a huge step selling/buying new home, new schools, new job, new church, new enviornment (we know noone).

I could use as many prayers as available for discernment and wisdom right now.

Thanks!
 
Melanie, I'm praying for you girl. I'm so sorry you're going through this. You can forgive someone and not have to "like" them. I'm thinking of you! Hang in there!

Lisa
 
Melanie,

I check on you ladies trying to conceive since I was there not
that long ago. I feel horrible for your work situation!
Don't feel too guilty about not being able to get over/forgive.
I am sure in time but now like you said you feel violated which
inturn makes you feel very vunerable and sad. I have been there
as most of us have. I don't know why your co workers felt the
need to be so nosy but maybe they are unhappy in their own lives,
sadly. From all of us on the posts we know you are a happy person
with a wonderful family life, sadly that makes others resentful.
Keep us posted as to what you decide. Sounds like your husband
is supportive, which is huge.

Suzanne
 
melanie, suzanne said it all. you are definately in our prayers. it is so ghard to balance work/family/etc under the best of circumstances. when faced with what you are faced with, all you can do is think long and hard and make the best decision you can for what you can live with. i am thinking of you.
 
Have I told you guys how awesome you are lately? Wow, thanks a lot...you're so AWESOME!!!!

Melanie - So sorry about your situation at work. Sometimes the only thing is to move on. I remember at one job it, it got too gossipy and I mean really bad. I just had to leave b/c it was getting really depressing and getting my down. I hope you find what you're looking for and you're in my prayers!

Working on getting back into workouts this week as the knees are feeling better and just got done with my HSG Xray! My tubes are all clear and my labs all came back normal, so we just need to work on getting DH figured out. It gives me more confidence to know what we're at least dealing with. I'm glad we both don't have problems and pray we can get his low count figured out.

I read that you have a slightly better chance of conception after this procedure b/c it tends to flush you all out from the dye going thru the tubes, so going to take full advantage of these next few months! Lots of Bd'ing going on next week!

Lisa - I second Morris' thoughts on the premixes, there's really a great variety.

Anne
 
AF came by this morning. It's for the best right now, under the circumstances. God is in control. ;)

melanie, what did you think of the new location? is that closer to family for you? so very hard to move, i know. but as you know, sometimes things do work out for the best.

hope everyone else is doing well and having a good week. i did bm2 scrambled eggs this am and was soooo tired (ran too many hills yesterday). i was proud to do it though. finn is settling into daycare so well. i am so proud of my little guy - i wish i was as good with change as he is:)
 
Melanie, any decision regarding the new location? My AF is visiting too. Maybe I am just done with child bearing. :(

Morris, it is great that Finn is adjusting. And yes, the lil ones do adjust better than us... most of the time that is how it goes in my house anyway.

have a great weekend everyone!
Autumn
 
I DO like the area up here in Northeastern Minnesota. The company is a smaller chain--in general I do not like chain pharmacies --but this one is run mostly by pharmacists.
Time to re-vamp my resumes and send a few more out in the area. I will get an offer for the job I liked, and see if I can broaden my search...then a hunt for land/house.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, and a difficult job to continue to do until the move. My boss has been so good, and his wife is really sick. :(
More later. Thanks for inquiring!
 
melanie, glad you liked the are. things sound positive but understandable difficult. it must be especially hard since you like your boss. is there no way to get rid of the coworker? sometimes people that do such things are just so unhappy with themselves.. anyways, just a thought.

hope everyone is having a great weekend. i am sorry for all of you with af visiting, though truthfully, i would love a visit too:(
 
Melanie - I'm happy to hear that things are progressing. I hope whatever final decision you make, it will be the best for you and your family. You sound like such a positive person that I'm sure whatever you decide, you'll make it work for the best.

Autumn - Are you taking progesterone to help with your TTC process? I don't know how all that works, but I know on a previous post you and your dr. had discussed progesterone right? I know how discouraging it is whenever AF shows her ugly face, but I hope you keep on trucking if another baby is what you guys really want. I had friends who took forever to conceive, but ended up with two healthy kids so I know it can happen even when it seems like forever.

Morris - I'm so glad Finn adjusted so well. Kids are definitely a lot more flexible and easy going than adults a lot of times! Are you still nursing and that's why no AF? I breastfed for 17 mos with both of my kids, but AF came little after the 12 month mark.

Anne - Where are you? I hope you're feeling okay. I've been stalking your chart and looks like you and DH should be busy this weekend! I'm praying that you guys catch that egg!

I was doing really well with my workouts, but got stressed out the last two days and didn't workout. I also wasn't eating because of the stress which isn't good either. I dropped a couple pounds, but not the healthy way. Last night DH took me on a surprise date to a great restaurant. We had a table overlooking the ocean and I ate and ate (surprisingly it was pretty healthy except for the desserts)and had a glass of wine. It was really good. So I'm working out today needless to say which will put me back at 4 workouts this week. Better than none I guess. AF is gone now so we'll see what happens this month.

What is everyone doing for Mother's Day?
