Morning gals... Hope all of you have a nice day- not sure when/if I'll be back around..*work work*
:* :7 :* :7
 
SANDRA:::
Hope the volunteer day was sheer FUN! I bet DD was PROUD to have mom around.

********************************
PATRICIA:::
That Step/Yoga day sounds like a killer! Great job! ~ Some clients come to me- some I go to their home…any client before 5am is ONLY a “come to me” client! I don't mind my early birds as they are the most serious about training…Its all good.
********************************

JEANETTE:::
So glad you are starting to feel some relief! I must commend you on continuing with your great workouts thru this… ~ All my clients are within a 5 mile radius. Remember in Houston that’s almost 30,000 people! ~ I just started using GoldBond Lotion w/ CoQ10 … Its nice and rich without feeling slimy or sticky. ~~ LOL on the mere THOUGHT of DH being a Sumo wrestler!
********************************

WENDY:::
Glad your back/body is feeling better…. You have had 2 back to back HORRENDOUS ttoms… do you think a Drs visit is in order…. Is there endometriosis (sp) in your history? I don't get much back pain. Mines all uterine related pain…enough to bring me to absolute tears if left on their own. ~~ Have to take a firm stand on “Not reading everything that every person posted yesterday!” LOL … Theres NO WAY I’d ever get thru that many posts. ~~ Oh yes- I did find/use the toilet cleaner… I guess whatever my toilet bowl issues are it isn’t what THAT helps! LOL
********************************

DEBRA::::
Great shopping/school day! What more can a gal ask for? ~ Did your mom have anything to say about your Xer friends? She seems like a sweet lady. ~ Studying is a lost cause! That means while Wendell fishes I’ll be studying..oh well- such is the life of a busy woman/procrastinator. Poor Wendell (stacys here ya know) Last night he walked in the door said “ How was your “day off” (no clients) I said WTH is WRONG WITH MEN? Look at this f’ing house sparkle…does it APPEAR I took a day off? When EXACTLY do you think I get to go fish for 12 hour stretches? … ROFL!
********************************

LAURIE:::
WooHoo- Its almost Boss is Gone Week!!!! What will you do with all that free time? LOL Hope those calves are all better this morning…every once in awhile I get mine worked so hard that I feel them for days. Keep me posted on the Dove Lotion…I’ve never used their products before. See ^ to Jeanette about my current body lotion for dry skin.
********************************

LEA::
Did all the posts scare you away? Wasn’t it nice when we were all gone for retreat… so peaceful & sane…except for Sandra! Miss you! Just pop in- no need to spend time seeing why Wendy posted 28x yesterday…
********************************

NICOLE:::
Glad you’re hanging in there! ~ I think we’re talking about SUMMER in Canada not March….
********************************

CAROL::::
Welcome back and/or thanks for stopping by- whichever the case may be
********************************

TRACY::::
Glad you are OK & just dealing with “life” bumps.
********************************

KIM::::
THANK YOU for the possible option for housing in Edmonton… Personally I’d LIKE to see Sandra deal with all of us in a big pile on her floor but SHEEEZE she can get testy about those things!
********************************

That’s it for me gals…. Off to prep for next client .
 
Good morning all!! CBL came by last night, so I didn't get to sleep until late....ugh...but add a little smile to that as well!!! I am taking the diva to school, which let me add, is wearing the shirt that Traci got her. Also she and her friend were putting on the face mask that Wendy brought, and I was still peeling it off her face this morning...LOL! She kept saying, "Isn't my face soft now??" So funny!!


personals..


Traci...
I am sure you had my accomplished by 5 am than I will all day!!!!!! Have fun with your clients and get some studying done...and between all of that, make sure to get enough rest!!


Jeanette....
Glad you made it home from the grocery store safe and sound! Sometimes those trips can be detrimental to a marriage....lol. And you mowed the yard?? My yard is freshly mowed, too, by the lawn guy I pay!!! I hate messing with the grass..I will do the flower beds, but not the grass. Just one of my rules to live by. I hope you have a great time on your ride tonight. I am so glad the weather is better for you. Now, work those legs woman and get them in shape for your race!


Okay...everyone have a great morning..I, personally, will be taking a little nap before I get going with my yard projects. My rationalization for that is that it won't be warm enough until later this morning to get outside...so there you go!!!

Dear Traci/Stacy...
You snuck in on me.....poor Wendell! He can never do anything right, can he??? I am surprised he survives each month when Stacy comes out to play. My mom thought you guys were great!! She is happy that I have an another outlet so that she doesn't have to listen to me b**ch as much...LOL!

Good Morning Ladies!

I'm just about to leave, but I wanted to say hey :) I have some cardio on tap today. I'm thinking about the 4DS bootcamp/kb cardio combo. We had quite a rabbit adventure this morning, though. One of the girls got out (the cage door was open, I think DS didn't shut it right last night) and I thought she was lost. Thankfully, though, she was only under the shed and after some coaxing, she is safe and sound in the hutch once again. What a way to start the day! Nothing like rabbit catching at 6:30am. Anyway, I'll be back later this afternoon for personals. I hope you all have a great day!

Carol
 
Good morning,

Carol, nice to see your lovely font around here again!

I'm editing, so can't spend time playing right now. Just giving you all a wave and a smile. Mid-morning I'll be doing GS Chest, and Premix #4 of Amy's new Hi/Lo Knockout (the second half of the workout, incl. core and stretch).

Oops, the computer is asking to update and install some software, so I'll let it do that while I move over to the laptop and work on my editing. Have a great day. I'll BBL,

Sandralina
 
Morning All:

Glad to see everyone up and about and sooooo chipper this a.m.

Traci - I see your day has begun and you're off and running. Hope to hear from you later

Carol - what a way to begin your day. 6:30 I was still blow drying my hair;-)

Well, Survivor is on tonight and I want to get in a cardio w/o. Last week I taped it and watched after my w/o then went to tape CSI and forgot to turn the VCR off so it didn't tape. This is why I get so stressed out on Thurs. How do I fit everything in that I want to do}(

I see the OD is settling down again.
 
I will email my 3:30 client & thank her for getting me functioning so early as I actually got a TERRIFIC w/o in already today...
YES- There is a HUGE diff between being up writing email at 230am & actually getting dressed, moving equipment around & planning "party" music!

Todays Workouts:
30 minutes of: 10 minute Trainers Total Body 1 + Lower + Core (all on same disc)
30 minutes of: Turbo Jam Fat Blaster (intervals of Plyo & Kickboxing) I REALLY luv TJ... I gave all the rest away in a weak moment a couple of years ago... I dont care for her strength but MAN oh MAN her music for cardio Kicks butt!

OK.... Off to see how badly I stink... take my SECOND shower of the day - head out to work until about 4pm.... Then I do believe a NAP may be in order.

XXOXOOX
 
Morning Everyone :D
Wendy: Hey you! It would be a Blessing to visit Edmonton first, where the heck is that, can you tell I don’t get out much:7 really tho, I’m going to start praying about it I’d absolutely looooove to meet and fellowship with my friends:) :)

No I don’t have the link for BF, but I will find it for you. Where I brought these jeans, I think the store was called BeBe some designer and over price store at Richmond Mall they where going out of business and of course I just happen to walk by. The original price was $98 I got 30% off, my very first pair of BF. You got da-bomb deal for both pair, that’s was a still, heck, I would’ve brought them too. I would definitely need the ones for bootay (your crazy) baby got back. The ones I brought, they flatten by bootay a bit, and I’m not liken that. But the jeans you purchased are sharp.
 
Good morning,
It was 2 combos from Amy Bento's Hi-Lo Dome Challenge, then 4DS Chest & Back. What a good workout. I have to watch my forearms when she does the one armed rows horizontally. I felt slight icy twinges in my forearms so I modified those. I also didn't do the around the clock pushups. Tonite will be a bike ride.

Traci, on my computer, it says you posted "Good morning" at 12:21 a.m. We are 2 hours difference. That's early, you crazy girl. Why does that lady come to your house so early? Hope all goes well today and nobody cancels. Did the young man ever come back with his mother? I have Turbo Jam #1 and need to get it out. I like it for a change.

Debra, I wish I had a lawn boy for sure. I'm hoping after DH gets done painting the house, we'll be able to share the yardworking duties more than in past years. Who am I fooling? If I try to work a deal, he'll ask me to start cutting the firewood and changing the oil on the vehicles. LOL about Julia commenting on the softness of her face.

Carol, what a way to start the day!!! How many rabbits do you have? Are they pets or for eating?

Sandra, have fun with GS Chest and Amy.

Patricia, I'm clueless about taping anything.

Latrese, hope you have a good day today. Is work still pretty busy?

Gotta go, BBL,

Jeanette
 
Good Morning Ladies,

CST didn't go very well last night. During the warm-up when I started running/jumping jacks, I could feel a sharp pain in my upper back by the right shoulder blade everytime my feet touched the floor. It's odd because prior to this, the back pain was a dull constant pain that spread all over my back. It was mainly near my shoulder blade, but not localized in one spot. Then during the first shoulder raise, I felt that sharp pain in my left shoulder. It was in the same area when I tried straightening my left arm in front of me during child's pose and couldn't. So, I skipped all the shoulder exercises. Phil says that I must have pulled a muscle last week. I'm thinking it happened when I was playing around in Eagle while sitting at the computer watching a You Tube clip of a woman doing Eagle pose. So, I had to google pulled muscles on my phone since I was already in bed. Is it true? Can it take 3 to 6 weeks before they heal?!?!?! What do I do for 6 weeks!?!?!? This sucks!

Anyhow, I'm going to try CC on the exercise bike instead of treadmill today. I don't want to aggrevate and jar my back/shoulder blade. My shoulders are already sore from what I little I did last night.

Oh, and BTW, ARX never happened. Gotta put core work on my to do list today.

Opening another window for personals.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Hey Jeanette??? What's this with Wendy??? yesterday?:D Yes, Wendy??? says to serve it cold or at room temperature because there it's a cream cheese mixture. Trust me. It tastes much better at room temperature or slightly chilled. It's not as good eaten right out of the oven hot. LOL on the Captain making dinner fit for a sailor! That's exactly how I envision him!:)

Teddygirl: Edmonton is in Canada. Sandra lives there. I'm not sure what month the ladies have decided we get together next year; in the late spring or early summer I'm sure! Funny, you'd think Baby Phat would have jeans cut for Babys with Backs! Ewww, I tried on one pair of jeans that absolutely flattened my bootay. It was like watching a horror flick!!! Not flattering at all! Thanks for making me feel better about how much I spent on the jeans. I still thought they were pricey with the price I paid. But, whatcha gonna do? Stalk Ebay? I don't have the paitience for it.

Traci: I am so proud of you!!! Climbing back on the workout train!!! Does training others motivate you to push play? I think a 3:30 client would motivate me to reschedule the woman!!! I hope that woman knows how blessed she is! It's not easy waking you up at 3:00 in the morning! :eek: :+ Take a nap! You've got a busy day ahead!!!

Sandra: Edit away Girlfriend!

Oh Crap! It's art lesson day!!!!

Personals will have to wait till I return from giving art teacher a hard time. Poor Mr. Bruno!!! }(

Wendy
 
Question is Edmonton City closes to Toronto? I did a search on map quests, it is asking for the county, Canada KS or Canada KY.

Me and my X drove too Toronto/Canada for our honeymoon back in the days, think the year was 1910 LOL really tho Canada is only hours away from Ohio, just thought I share:)
 
Morning Coolers,

Todays workout was 4DS Chest, Shoulders & Triceps / AR 200

I'm surprised that I'm feeling my abs after this workout. It is really not a w/o for someone who has back issues, since it is all crunches.

Had a busy morning, and am very happy that DH will be returning from Vegas today. Glad my workout was a short one, because I had to make sure oldest got homework done before bus, youngest got to neighbors to catch bus and Cami got to doggie daycare. All this before I even got to work. And I even had a load of laundry done during all this. :D Cami was a good girl today, she made sure I didn't oversleep. I sure wanted to hit that snooze button this morning though. ;-)

Oldest DD's track meet went well, the girls came home with a first place overall. DD was in the 4x400, and had a time of 68 seconds for her lap. Apparently that is a good time. All I know is that it takes me almost 2 min to make a lap. :7 :7 :7 She said she really didn't do well on her triple jump though. Oh well!

Traci, Oh I will be WooHoo'ing come Monday morning. He has an element due today. Well of course I'm going to be working on this for the rest of the day. He waits till the last minute on these type of things, and that makes me crazy. I'm again to logical, and think you should have this done way before due date. :7 Great workout you did this morning.

Debra, I can just picture The Diva with her face mask on. Of course she is going to have the best skin in class today! :D We are going to have to mow the dang lawn pretty soon to. Hope our yard starts to dry up soon.

Carol, Don't you just love mornings that start the heart pumping like that. :7

Sandra, Good luck on the editing. Waving back as you fly by!

Well my BOSS now want me to work on this project, so bye for now! x( This is just the wrong day for him to have planned out my day! TTOM started today and has really reared it's ugly head. I have bitten my tongue a couple of times already this morning.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Hi all,

Today is a rest day, although I don't feel so overworked, but I have class.

Laurie - I don't know if it's TTOM or what with me, but something reared it's ugly head today when I was confronted about the same ugly situation again. I really like the 4ds core on the legs/kb. It's really not much in the crunch department.

Carol - We used to have rabbits. DH ended up having to do all of the care. I refused.

Traci - Sounds like a nice workout. I'm into mixing things up a little too. The hip and shoulder are OK?

Jeanette and Sandra - I think I'm going to use Amy's stuff in smaller chunks too. The full routines have so many arm movements, I really think it is overkill.

Debra - How is the knee today?

Wendy - Ohhh sorry about the back. Soft tissue injuries take forever to heal and you are rarely ever the same afterwards.

I'd better get back to work.

Tracy
 
Just a quick note b/4 lunch.

I'm on my way to the grocery store to buy fruit as I started a fruit basket in the lunch room as part of our Health & Wellness program. Let me tell you I don't think there is anyone that doesn't like bananas. I can't keep them in stock:p

Debra - I liked your storey about your little Diva. It reminded me when my Mom used to sell Beauty Counsellor and she had this face mask that was a powder that she would mike with water and put it on my face. The thing was I didn't mind it except for she always used COLD water}(

TG - To find Edmonton, if you come across the Eskimos you went to farth north;-)

Wendy - really sorry to hear about the back issue. It almost sounds like you need to take small break for UP work. Have you tried putting COLD salve on it. (can't think of the name specifically but along the lines of A535 but really cold and soothing)

Off to buy bananas
 
Good Afternoon Ladies,

It's a late lunch for me today! Thankfully, I still have leftovers from dinner... stuffed peppers.

Patricia: I think you are right. I'm going to take this week off. If I have the energy later tonight, I'll do CC on the exercise bike. Good idea about a cool gel. I'm going to run over to a local yoga studio later today and pick up some China Gel. It's a cool heat. That doesn't sound right. LOL Anyhow, my friend bought some and I tried it awhile ago. Afterwards, I was shivering from the coolness! You probably hear us all talk about Eoin all the time. He's the one who made Power Yoga For Happiness. He also sells Power Yoga For Happiness Surfers Edition Vol. 2, and Pure and Simple. We love him around here!!! Did I read yesterday that your ds will now be needing adult therapy? Come on ADMIT IT! You got tired of pushing him, so you went to the closest hill and simply allowed gravity to do the work for you.:eek: Don't worry. I'm almost positive we can arrange a group discount with a therapist, AKA TRACY, once our kids grow up!:+

Tracy: Doesn't sound like you'll be doing much resting today with class after work. If you need a stress reliever, maybe a little Shiva before bed might help. Yeah, I'm wondering what normal feels like and if my shoulder blade will ever feel normal.

Teddygirl: I do like the skirt. The cut reminds me of my INC skirt I got a few years ago. I'll have to take a picture of it for you! Kimora is beautiful! I watched her reality show once. It was enough for me. It was the one where she had a party after her fashion show. Anyhow, I couldn't take her watching her for long without some advil.:eek: :+ Ooo, I don't know how close Edmonton is to Toronto. I think it's more towards the west coast. I'll have to google it too!

Laurie: High Five to your DD!!! That's super fast!!! Must be from her long legs she gets from you! So what are you saying? I should stay far away from AR200? Is that the Ab Ripper Plus one? What is Tony now giving college credits for completing his workouts?!?! So, is Friske making her appearance tonight? You're so funny. I highly doubt you'll ever hear me say Poor Laurie's DH!!!!

Jeanette: Skippette!!! Come on you can push around the clock! You're an X Grad. Did you hear, Tony gave you college credit for doing AR100!!!:7

Sandralina <--- Is that what your friends call you when you're busy ignoring them with a thesis?:+ Aren't you finished editing yet?!?! How much longer do you estimate not chatting with me will take?!?!!

Carol: Poor Bunny!!! I'm surprised ya'll haven't killed the poor creature yet!!! Seriously, aren't rabbits high strung and easily spooked? Didn't God create them to fall over dead with a sudden heart attack instead of dying a slow tortuous death while being eaten alive from all sorts of prey? I'd say you've got yourself one hearty rabbit!!!

Debra: I brought over a face mask? I did?!?!?! Um, no I didn't! Really, I don't think I did. I thought I brought over Muscle Soak massage oil and Lavender shower gel. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I can't remember much after my two glasses of wine.:+ Oh, Thanks for mailing me back my photo album. The UPS guy freaked out my dog. Then my dog had to try and chase him down the driveway. Geesh, she's such a bully!!! Wonder where she learned that from!:eek:

Traci: Really, should I see a doctor for my moody PMS? Phil could have told you that YEARS ago.:7 He's been begging me to get on some Prozac since I stopped giving birth. Silly man. Oooo, Gold Bond powder is really good for hot humid Texan days. Should I mail you my gently used pumice stone? Didn't think so. Next time you're in Walmart, pick one up in the cleaning section... along with a pair of rubber gloves. Maybe, your bowl needs a good scouring. If that doesn't work, hire a maid and follow her around to find her secret cleanser!!!

Okay Ladies, I haven't gone back to yesterday's mega thread to catch up read today. Wonder who was responsible for that!!!:eek: :+ The above is only from memory. If I missed anything, Traci, my newly hired memory bank, will have to remind me.

Chat more later.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Howdy lovely ladies!

Thanks for the re-welcome, lol.

Wendy -- Thanks for the link :) Does the later Sunday morning one work for you? I'm amazed (and a little jealous) that Phil so willingly helps out with the schoolwork. If I asked DH to do it, he might, but not without lecturing the kids first! I hope your back heals up quickly!! Ouch! The buns are used to being man-handled. The 5 we have that were born here have been handled by my kiddos since they popped out! They're pretty much not scared of anything anymore, lol.

Debra -- Some things (like politics and religion) just don't belong on a message board not specifically designated for such things. That thread is crazy!!

Patricia -- Hi! I didn't realize we'd picked up a new member :) I'm Carol, I met Wendy at the RT last summer and she talked me into joining the thread. I did a P90X round this past winter and now I'm getting all psyched up for STS. I have 3 kids (DS 9, DD1 who's 7 and DD2 who's 4) and I homeschool. It's fun and a bit crazy! lol.

Traci -- You're the only trainer I know that takes clients at 3:30am! You're one of a kind :)

Jeanette -- We have 8, and they're pets. We breed and show them, and it's fun. The kids enjoy it. We currently have 4 boys and 4 girls (though that just happened, it was not planned, lol).

Laurie -- Congrats to your DD on her track meet! I never could run a 400m well. I stuck to the 100 and 200 as well as jumping (long and triple).

Tracy -- LOL at rabbit care. My sister used to breed/show as well, so I'm well versed in rabbit care. It doesn't bother me much anymore. The 3 bucks in my kitchen need a hutch outside, though... DH is just procrastinating. My 8 rabbits seem like nothing compared to the 30+ she used to have (she still has 2, but she also has 4, yes 4!! cats, a dog and 2 rats... she is a vet tech).

Ok, I have to rush off to get my workout in before the next slew of errands and activities... *deep breath in and out* I hope you ladies have a very lovely evening!

Carol
 
Phil's home early!:) He's doing math with the twins while I get ready to go buy some China Gel per Patricia's excellent advice.

Carol: It's like you never left! Just jump back into posting and we'll reply. At least, I will. :) At first I thought you were talking about my buns!:eek: }( Then I slowly realized you meant your bunny rabbits. Silly woman!!!:+ Like Tracy, I refuse to take care of my Baby. If it wasn't for eldest dd's attentiveness I think my dog would die of starvation and lack of exercise!!! Someones got to be responsible in this family! Might as well teach the kiddos it some time. Ha-Ha. I'll have to email you about yoga. Are you thinking of doing it this weekend or next? I can't do it this weekend. But, next Sunday will work!

Okay, gotta go before the next yoga class starts, and the receptionist decides to join the class.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
