^^Tuesday's "MELTING POT" ^^

RE: ^^Tuesday's

Morning Deb and all who follow!

It's COLD here this morning! Yowch!

Deb - how did Keegan do yesterday?

Lainie - I'm so excited about my mystery package!!! You're a doll!

Kristi - WHOOOOO HOOOOOO on completing your first day! How are you feeling this morning?

Allie - did you get any sleep last night?

Robin - you and Emily were in my dream last night! And Greyor! And your DH!

Tneah - I have this hilarious vision in my head of you sitting at your vanity, applying and reapplying lip plumper and your lips getting puffier and puffier! Anyway, check your PMs in a little while, okay?

Kara - how was the anniversary? And how is that floor? What kind of flooring are you putting down? I have this awful carpet in my family room that needs ripping up and I want to put down hardwood. Did the door finally get in?

Shannon - how was your rest day?

Leanne - what's up for you and DH today? Okay, do I need to get kettlebells?

Did I miss anyone? Probably. Off to the shower with me!
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Hey, all --
I've got to dash, but just wanted to say "good morning." I had a nice long night's sleep; my quads and lower back are sore. I realized this morning that yesterday was a "series of events," today will be a "challenge."

Much love & thanks to you all! Have a great day!
BBL,
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Him I'm back,

We just got back from walking Kelsey. We are trying to make sure she has some "alone" time with us, without the little spitfire buzzing around her like a nat. Today I was up at 4:15, did MM Upper Body split. Keegan was good yesterday. I left him at about 12:40, my cleaning lady was still here so she let him out before she left, ( probably around 1:30) and he was ok when I got home at 5:30! Success so far!

Kristi:
Nice job on the run!

Lainie:
It seems like you and I have a lot in common right now! LOL:D

Tneah:
Everytime you talk about cooking etc for "the boys" I keep singing that song..."..the boys are back in town, the boys are back in town"...

Shelly:
Thanks for the holding vibes..I think they worked!..So glad to hear that Karen is home!

Kara:
I hope your house stuff is done soon!

Leanne:
How was the play? Yes..Keegan will stay in his crate while we are not home. Thanks for the puppy vibes! I come home for lunch 3 days a week, and DH is here till 11:00 on Wed, and off all day Thursday, so he has "dog duty" those days.

Allison:
I hope you are better today...Sending you "Feel Better ((HUGS)).

I have to leave for work now...bb later, I hope..

Deb
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Good morning, all!

It's 5:00 here and I have to get a move-on, but just wanted to check in really quickly before I start my workout super early. :) Our friends Paul and Pete are getting married this morning at 8:00, and we're going to head down to show our support. It's the first day that California is allowing gay marriage in all counties, and they're the second couple getting hitched today. :)

Saying "hi" and sending love to all of you, but wanted Kristi to know that I'll still be thinking of you and Todd all day and sending my prayers and positive vibes on this really challenging day! You can do it, babe! You're almost there! (More back flips and cartwheels here!;-) ) Keep us posted throughout the day if you can, OK? :)

Big {{{HUGS}}} to Allie today and Tneah with that sore back! :)

I'll BBL this afternoon to chat more! Love to all you wonderful ladies!:) Hope you're all having fabulous days so far!
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Morning Melters!

I've just checking in to say hi. We are leaving for frig shopping in a bit. I'm not sure what workout I'll be doing today. I think it's time to do a full body weight workout. I'll be back later for personals.

Tneah, thanks! I got my package yesterday.

Kristi, go, girl, go.

Someone posted on the OD that deep discounts is having a sale. Type in SUPERSALE for an additional discount. Free shipping. I got an Amy workout for $8.86. Shelley, if you want anything and can't get it shipped to Canada, have it shipped to me.

See ya later.
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Good morning, ladies!

Shelley - Cold???? In June? Girl, that's just not fair. Though I guess it is quite a bit cooler here too, in the mid-60s F, and it's only supposed to hit the mid-80s F today. Brrrr. :p ;)

Kristi - I'm cheering you and Todd on today!!!

Deb - how is Kelsey adjusting to Keegan? Are they okay together? I'll bet Kelsey just loved his one-on-one time.

Leanne - I'm glad your friends are getting married! I saw a clip of the first gay marriage in Calif. on the news this morning. I think it's about time! I wonder if Arkansas will ever legalize it? Oh, very funny.

The doctor's appointment was nice and short, and then I got my hair cut. That took a bit longer. I should just let her shave this mop off. I got a short stretch in when I got home. Today is cardio... hmmm. I think it's time again for CC 8!!! :7

There are a few people here at work that I need to light a fire under. Maybe a few flaming emails will do the trick. They've just about gotten on my last nerve. I don't really plan to be polite about it. }(
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Good morning all!

I'm feeling a bit better today--thanks for all the hugs and kind words! I slept a little bit better last night but not great. I keep having these horrible night sweats and they wake me up. It's disgusting. I've had them for years but always thought they're a side effect of a medication I take. Maybe I should get my hormone levels checked or somethin'.

Leanne--I went to Trader Joe's last night to look for that Valerian Root but they didn't have any. The check-out girl recommended a "Bedtime Tea" that they have so I grabbed that. I drank it last night and maybe that's what helped me sleep a little better...or maybe it was just psychological. I looked online for it and the Vitamin Shoppe sells Valerian Root extract (capsules). Is that ok? I'm excited to try it. I don't want to have to go on another prescription. I'm on enough of those. ;)

Shelley--I got your PM. Thank you so much for thinking of me. You're the best and I can't wait to see you in July! I tried PS this morning (chest, shoulders, and triceps) and LOVED it! It was so different from other Cathe dvds. I added on PUB chest, shoulders and triceps too since I had a little extra time and my arms are cooked now! Look for an email from me, k? :)

Kristi--I am in awe of you and your hubby. Yikes. I could never do what you're doing. I'll be thinking of you all day! Go go go! You can do it!

Robin--have fun fridge shopping! I love shopping for new appliances. I just bought a washer and dryer about two months ago (my first!) and it was so fun. Well, not for my wallet, but for me it was...;)

Shannon--have fun with CC 8! I wish I could get into CC's but they're just not for me. I prefer Grace and her numbers. But I do love CCPP. Once a month is about all I can do though. I stink at listening to my body. :p Go light that fire under your coworker's butts!

Kara--I'm sorry if you already mentioned this but did you get your door in yet? We had some horrible storms last night and I was thinking of you---and how glad I was that I have doors. :p ;) You're the renovating queen! Oh, and tell me more about that iTread and Tush. I was looking at it yesterday after reading you'd done it again. Does it work your butt good?

Deb--I'm so glad to hear that Keegan's doing well and "holding it" like a good boy for you. That's just awesome. He is too cute for words. I especially love that picture you posted where he looks like he's saying "you lookin' at me?" I just want to kiss that little face so bad!

Lainie-how are you, peanut? I'm glad you got a new a/c. Did you like Strike Zone? I haven't tried it yet. How are the teeth? I got my teeth cleaned yesterday and my mouth was so sore all afternoon and night. I was thrown back to middle school and I felt like I'd just gotten my braces tightened again! My teeth and jaw are still sore today. Yikes. You'd think I hadn't gotten my teeth cleaned in years! But I'm a good girl. Every six months, on the dot I get these babies cleaned. :)

Ok, is that everyone? I'm sorry if I missed anyone. I have to rush into a meeting today--HazMat training for work. And it's going to last ALL.DAY. Kill me now. Hopefully I'll be back later if I can sneak in some computer time. Get this--my little brother is graduating from highschool tonight! He's the youngest in my family and he's all done! I can't believe it. My little baby's all grown up! :p hehe. He'd kill me if he heard me say that....

Ok, bye bye! And good luck to Kristi and Todd. You two are amazing!

Allison

RE: ^^Tuesday's

Robin - we must have been posting at the same time. Sorry I missed you! Did you get that fridge today? I'm not going anywhere near Deep Discounts. I just preordered three of Amy's, and I don't need any more!!!

Allison - I'm so glad you're feeling better. Maybe you should have your hormones checked. I think it sounds like a good idea. You need to get more sleep! (Duh... did I just state the obvious? :p )

Okay, the fire is lit. And I got my first email back. }( Isn't it just a shame that being a biatch is the only way to get results sometimes? Grrrrr.
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Hi, all,
The run is done -- a total of 26.2 miles (just over 42K) in two days! It was definitely harder today, but it is completed. Now off for some food and a bike ride.

ETA: I'm envious of Shelley's cold weather!:)
BBL,
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Morning All!

Allison, our company makes a fabulous sleep aid--all herbal so it should not interfere with your other meds...let me know if you want to try it and PM me your address kay?:)

Shelley, you are so lucky with your cool weather this morning...its in the 100's here for the rest of the summer..

Robin, oh fuh fridge shopping?Uh, I prefer shoe shopping, but that's okay, its always nice to have appliances that actually work right?;) We just replaced our washing machine and dryer.

Deb, is Kelsey a boy or girl? I forgot. Good for little Keegan, such a brave puppy holding it in for so long.

Kristi, way to go! Boy, after today are you guys all done?

Shannon, I thinks its funny that you are standing up and laying down the law around the office, good for you!I hate stupid people, or rather incompetent people that act like they know what they are doing.

Leanne, very cool, you guys will have so much fun at your friends wedding, I think its great they legalized gay marriage. Just saw on the news this really elderly lesbian couple that finally got married after all of these years, it was really touching. Did you get that adorable dress?

Hi to Lainie, Kara and Jennifer...

I have my regular doctor's appointment this afternoon, maybe he can help me straighten out my thyroid medication...am crossing my fingers. I have never had a "real" doctor, you know one that you see for general stuff. I have always just used those walk in places if I needed it...I hate doctors. But its time to grow up and enlist the care of an MD right? So its just one of those general visits today.

Off to attempt a Spinervals workout..I have PMS so feel bloatey and my boobs are more enormous that usual...ugh.:-( woke up with the weirdest sharp little pains in my back too...whaaaa...oh hush Tneah ya big old baby! BBL


One more thing...Valerie Waters the gal that invented the Red Carpet Ready Workout emailed me today! So impressed. I asked her about her program and for some recommendations for the more advanced exerciser...she asked for a few photo's and she would make recommendations. How's that for customer service? Wow, a pro's opinion without the 500 dollar price tag of Mr. Trainer man.
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Good morning lovely ladies! I am struggling to keep up with everyone, so please forgive me if I forget something.

Tneah—You are an absolute sweetheart! The delivery man must have stuck the package in the garage when I was doing yard work yesterday without me knowing! I have been concerned about how my skin is aging lately, so your generosity is a godsend. Thank you! Can you offer me advice on how to use the products? How is your back? Good luck with the doctor today. I hope you can get this thyroid craziness fixed.

Shelley—We are replacing wood flooring with ceramic tile. Each individual piece of wood is glued down and must be chiseled off. Only half of the kitchen is done and I have a nice sticky surface to maneuver around. It has been incredibly frustrating. We have ripped up carpeting and put hardwood down before and the results and process were great. We put in hickory and it was lovely. Is the rest of your home hardwood? When are you planning on tackling the bathroom project? Yes, the door is in, but I need to paint the exterior trim and seal it today. I will be so glad when this is done!

Kristi—Good job yesterday! Way to go on the run this morning. You two are such an inspiration. Thank you for reminding me that a torn up kitchen is not that big of a deal in the long run. Good luck on your bike ride! I am rooting for you!

Shannon—CC8, again? Holy crap, woman, you are tough today! Keep lighting those fires!

Robin—Good luck shopping! Have a nice day off.

Deb—Keegan sounds like he is doing so well! You and your DH are such responsible trainers. Kelsey and Keegan are fortunate to have you as their parents!

Allison—I am glad you are feeling better! The door is in, but half of the floor is out…ugh. iTread ‘n Tush is really good as an additional leg workout. I usually add it to 4DS Lower, BBC Legs, or Leaner Legs since they are all 30 minutes or so. Grace alternates 5 minutes running (or walking) with 5 minutes of leg exercises. The leg exercises are mountain climbers alternating with squats to the side, squats standing on the sides of the treadmill on a 12% incline, and walking lunges with a wall squat. I like it a lot! Congrats to your brother! Have fun at the training!

Leanne—How was the wedding? I have done the new Eion a bit more. It is good. The premix I like the best starts out easy and gradually progresses. My legs actually burn during a couple of the poses. He also does this funky version of twisting chair pose that is fun. I really like his workouts. Thank you for sharing the pics yesterday! Your dad is very handsome! You and DH make a beautiful couple and OMG, Clementine is the cutest thing ever! That hair is awesome! What workout did you do? Something fun?

Well, I think that catches me up! I did an iClimb this morning and will do P90X Back&Biceps later. I must paint now! Yahoo.
Have a good day ladies!

Kara
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Kristi - WHEW! Good job!

Tneah - I mean no offense, but I'm a little concerned when you said that your herbal sleep aid does not interact with other medicines. I used to work in the Geriatrics department of a large hospital, and the docs there always emphasized how that is really not true. Everything you put into your body interacts in some way - even the foods you eat. And remember: so many of our drugs are actually derived from plants! I don't want to preach - I just want to make sure everyone is safe!

Kara - you're doing two workouts in one day? Now that's tough!!!

My, my. Did I light some fires, or what? }( I received a couple of snotty emails back, and one of the people cc'd our VP. Whoopee. BUT... I finally got a meeting set up so we can plan this stupid newsletter. Maybe they'll hop on the next newsletter a little faster.
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Hi, ladies,
The bike is done -- 42 miles in two days. Now we'll do half of today's p/u's & crunches, then eat lunch, then go swim.

I think I may not be able to walk tomorrow!:) :) :)

I can't wait to read today's posts -- they look interesting.

Back in a while.
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Good afternoon ladies!

Robin - didja get a new fridge? Thanks for the heads up on deepdiscount. I'll go over and have a look.

Shannon - yes, it was 50 degrees when I walked the pooches this morning. Are we going to have to have a CC#8 intervention for you?:p

Allie - glad you're enjoying PS! I hope the Hazmat training wasn't too awful.

Kristi - I'm so excited for you! You're nearly done! I don't know if I've told you, but I'm completely in awe of this challenge you're doing! Here I thought doing all the Gym Styles in one day was impressive. You're off the charts!

Tneah - the cool weather is okay, but I'd like it a leetle bit warmer. How was the doc appointment?

Kara - not sure when the bathroom will start. Did you do the hickory flooring yourselves? The rest of our main floor and all upstairs is hardwood. The family room is an addition and has this awful blue industrial looking carpet in it. Blech.
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Kristi - you shouldn't have to walk tomorrow. You deserve to lie on the couch all day!

Shelley - don't you dare intervene with my CC 8. :p
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Hey kids,

Shannon, no offense taken sweets!:) I totally agree with you, you should always talk to your doctor about taking any supplement...especially if you are on any medication, etc....I should have worded that different. Thanks for correcting me.:) I want our Allie to be safe too.

Kristi, swimming? Yuk, but you have fun!:7 I sink like a rock, its not pretty. I like to splash about and float on those foam things...:p you will do great, sending you fast swimming vibes!

Kara,sounds like you and Home Depot are fast friends, you little do it yourself-er!:) I love it, wish we did more of that in our own house, but DH can work a hammer and thats about it quite frankly.:p And I am not exactly "handy" myself.

I just had the worst cardio workout, just did not feel like pushing myself, so kept it steady state. Ever have those cardio days? Just did not have it in me this morning....rode my spin bike for 50 minutes, I at least I did that.

Doctor is later on this afternoon....
 
RE: ^^Tuesday's

Hello everyone--another late check-in today but I wanted to wait until after I worked out! This morning it was back to the dermatologist for light therapy (so far no burn). Then we went to Target. When I got home I got Ewan some lunch and did one of my kettlebell workouts for the first time (Kettlebells the Iron Core Way Vol. 1 with Sarah Lurie). It was not the finest production, but a pretty good workout. My legs were shaking afterward as I had to go upstairs to get Ewan down for his nap. After I put him down, I did a stretch with my foam roller (the DVD didn't include a stretch).

Now I'm watching Doctor Who again while I write. (I have a lot of Doctor Who episodes saved on the DVR.)

Shelley,sorry it was cold this morning--hope you're warm now. I was a bit chilly at first this morning, but only because I'm a wimp--it was probably 60 or so.

Kristi, good luck with what you have left today. It will indeed be a challenge to finish up.

Deb, yep, training puppies and toddlers is very similar. ;)

Leanne, what KB DVD did you get and where did you get it?

Robin, you said you're "frig" shopping--did you mean "fridge"? Either way, good luck. :p

Shannon, good going lighting those fires, girlfriend!

Allie, I'm glad you got a little more rest. I liked Strike Zone pretty well--pretty fun. My teeth are a little better--not so sore inside the lips or anything. I just still can't chew much. :( Getting better, though.

Tneah, Good luck with your doctor's appointment. That's neat that you heard from the Red Carpet Ready chick.

Kara, good luck with the renovations and the double workouts today!

OK, think I need to go find something soft to eat for lunch.

RE: ^^Tuesday's

Hellooooo. I'm back again. :)

HazMat training...done. Thank god. What a nightmare. But I did manage to get a 100 on the evaluation. :) I'm a horrible test-taker. I got all shaky at the mere thought of taking that test.

Tneah--I would LOVE to try a sample of your sleep products! How incredibly sweet and generous of you to offer! Do you know of any good products for under-eye circles? I swear, these bags would terrify small children...
I'll PM you my address. THANKS AGAIN!

And Shannon--I'll be sure to check and see if Tneah's stuff would interact with any prescriptions I'm taking now. Thanks for the reminder. ;) :) :D

I am sooooooo sleepy now. It's been a long day. I can feel myself getting sick. My throat hurts so badly and I just feel completely run down. I really don't want to get sick. I hardly have any sick days left at work. :(

Ok, I better finish up stuff here and then I'm off to my brother's graduation. I'd rather go home and go to bed. x(

Lata!

Allison
