Hoping TracY is OK- getting worried! Havent heard back on the email yet.... Where are you all hiding her????

Back with Personals
 
JEANETTE
So happy you are at least taking some meds to speed te healing process... One time I took a Nose Spray Scrip & thought I had snorted fire ants! Hoping it works for you!!! CONGRATS on getting the tough hill ride out of the way! Sounds like you are all set for a training plan...I see you are still working those legs good & hard!

DEBRA
Happy CRAM morning! You'll do GREAT today...So you ran into Polly I see;-) That child is ADORABLE- stay out of her way - especially once you open that dern door! LOL ~~ We see Jimmy this coming Monday night.... WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!! Dont know if you remember but last year I missed it all because I came down with that horrid stomach flu for 48 hours..The one DH gave me??? I missed the concert because I was 2 days later in receiving his little gift..He went WITHOUT me! The nerve! LOL ~~ On icing... you can pretty much ice anything (may not do any good tho!ha) ..Heat can aggrivate some things but ICE is normally in all equations... Just do it- you know you're procrastinating!

KIM
+21? SICK.... I have my summer tan already (the natural one as oppossed to the purchased one!) No studying but that MUST CHANGE today.... I have 10 days to get this one in.... WOOHOO on the pushups!!! Just 1 word of caution...Now that you're crankin' them out on toes make sure you dont over work the shoulders on Chest/shoulder days....

PATRICIA
Way to go on the evening workout! ~ LOL on taxes...oh sweetie- I have THAT all figured out...;-) YES all retreats were already written as Trainers Retreats...We had quite the conversation about that @ Debras...actually we talked ALOT about fitness so it REALLY is/was a legit write-off....

Well- I'm all caught up- must go stare into the closet from hell & decide on a full body.... Maybe I'll clean toilets first...that way I'll have an excuse to stop in a bit!:7
 
Oops that was Gym Style Chest/Triceps I did Monday with all the pushups. Have a good day everyone, off to work for me! Kim
 
KIM:
LOL...They ALL seem to have endless pushups dont they? Tony & Cathe went to same sick-o school of training I guess!

Toilets clean...decided to get some grocery store stuff done THEN I'll choose a full body work out! :)
 
Good morning,

I'll sip my coffee and get down to real business in a minute. First I thought I'd see what you all were up to yesterday.

Traci....Has Tracy not made an appearance for a couple of days? I hope nothing's wrong on the home front, and she's only really busy with all her work and studying. What full-body workout did you decide on today? That's a lot of clients tomorrow! Get lots of studying done today, so you don't have to worry about it tomorrow, okay? No procrastinating today by playing around on OD. All that drama will still be there when you're done!

Debra....Did you find anything to calm down your knee? When Ibuprofen doesn't work, I'm stumped. How was DD's recital? Last week I did GS as produced, and hurt in every dang muscle all week. This week I'm doing it one part/day, and not feeling any doms. Am I not working hard enough, or have my muscles adapted already? Good luck on your test today (not like you need luck, you brainiac). Oh my goodness, I'm dreading the teenage years, with these girls. Keep in mind I have another one, 5 years younger than the first, who copies literally everything her older sister does. And when they hit puberty, I'll be hitting menopause. Do you think my husband should just move out now?

Patricia....I haven't been on a Cathe RT before, but from what I hear others say, you aren't obliged to attend all 4 classes. I'm always glad the US tax deadline is 15 days ahead of ours; gives me a good reminder to go buy my software and get busy. Are you starting to enjoy yoga any more? You didn't sound impressed with it before.

Jeanette....Doesn't 4DS Biceps work you good?? Those crazy 8's with the heavy barbell are tough, tough. Non-fat chai latte ....mmmmm....good stuff. So, it's allergies? That's new, isn't it? Did the Clarinex work?

Wendy....How's the back today?

Laurie....I don't know how hard you'll find Amy's choreography. Do you have any of her other workouts? I'm finding the more of her workouts I do, the easier it is to learn new ones. If it's the first workout of hers that you're learning, you might want to spend some serious time previewing and practicing. She throws the footwork at you pretty quickly. Ooooh, we're calling it "keyboarding" these days, are we? Good to know.

Nicole....Looks like it was a Christi kind of day for both you and Jeanette, yesterday. Christi's fun, that's for sure. I'm sorry you won't be going to GNP this year. Maybe next year!

Kim....What a hilarious post yesterday!! LOL!! I like your day! Please read my paragraph at the end of this about a possible Edmonton Retreat and chime in on the condo issue, please. PUB doesn't have push ups in it (one of its virtues for many people, I'm sure), but based on what you said, I'm guessing you meant Gym Style Chest & Triceps? And doing all those push ups on your toes is a great accomplishment!! I applaud you. You've obviously strengthened your chest, but also your core has gotten much stronger, too. Can't do toe-push ups without a strong core!

Today I have to take a page out of Debra's book and volunteer at DD's school. They're doing some kind of science experiments that involve, among other things, a water table. I think I'll volunteer to man the water table, so I can be sure they've all washed their hands before coming anywhere near me or my toddler! I've read all that Debra's written about the Germ-infested Urchins, and I'm not taking any chances!


About Next Year's Retreat:

I am willing to host, most certainly, if people are willing to pay that much money to come??? If you're curious about airfares before you decide, you would fly into Edmonton International Airport. Kim has graciously offered the company condo for people to stay in (3 bedrooms, I believe she said), but I don't know if there's any accommodation fee for that. The plus of that is that it's really close to where I live, which is also pretty close to the airport. I don't have numerous guest rooms in my house, as Debra does, but I can squeeze people into corners and behind doors, if you're okay with that. For transportation, depending on how many people come, we may need to rent something. I have two vehicles, but they each fit 5 people max. If the price of flights is too much for you to want to spend, feel free to say so without worrying about my feelings; I completely understand.

Have a great day!
Sandra
 
Good Morning from the Sunny North

What a fabulous day we're having here. Will get out at lunch to run some errands and maybe loosen up a bit. It kinda hurts to walk today after doing 1hr yoga class then 45min of step. Yikes, what was I thinking?:)

Traci - who the heck is hiring you at 3:15am? Do you have to go to them or do they come to you?

Kim - thanks for the clarification of the pushups as I've only done PUB 2x now and only the UP premix and I was wondering what I was missing. Enough so I thought I might do the whole program tonight as is!

Sandra - the yoga instructor had us learning the move which would lead you into doing a headstand last night. There was another move he taught last night that I had never done before too so finally seeing something other than just sun salutations and downward dogs. I think I'll have to start devoting Sundays to yoga to get an extra w/o in. The last few weeks I'm finally coming away from it feeling I got a bit of a strength w/o. Previously I felt that night was my rest day. I enjoy it more from the physical aspect, not so much spirtual yet. I will persevere.:p

I'm up for a retreat and I know who much $$ it is to fly to Edmonton. I've seen our company bills for airfare to Edmonton and yikes I can fly 1/2 way around the world for that price but I'm always game.

Maybe I can work it into visiting my companies' H.O. and somehow get it partially paid. Will have to work on that!! See Traci, I'm always looking for the write-offs:p :p
 
From Texas to Sandras $1045... pretty much any month I inserted..but thats non-stop + I'd have a year or more to start saving....

I'll go with group as always...just would hate for us never to meet our Canadian pals because of costs.... IF not Canada perhaps Northern CA ??? Just throwing out ideas....
 
Traci - just saw your post from last night

Between Politics and Religion what is this board coming to?

Come on, I want to see some more juicy stuff on something more relevant, like the P90x one in Jan or maybe about Brad & Angie. Is she really pregant? Is she really having twin? Enquiring minds want to know and want to debate:+
 
Good morning,
Today was 4DS Kickbox (most of the cardio), then the legs and abs. I enjoyed this workout and kept it to about 60 minutes by shortening the cardio. Will go grocery shopping after work with DH.

Traci, you get up so early. If it wasn't for me having to go to work in the morning, I doubt I'd be getting up before 6. Does your early client come to avoid that Houston traffic? All I'm snorting is saline spray and no burn from that at all. I'll take more Clarinex this morning and see how I do at work. It seems to be drying this up a bit. I have another bike ride tomorrow so hitting the legwork pretty good with continuous days of weights and riding. Will work legs again on Friday, then no legwork on Saturday and another bike ride on Sunday. That's the plan for now, anyways.

Sandra, my BB was too heavy for the crazy 8's in 4DS Biceps, so I used DB's to get through. Hoping the Clarinex works, but so far the drip is still there, better, but still there. Of course I haven't taken anything for a number of hours but will before I leave for work. I'll have to check fares from Reno to Edmonton.

Patricia, looks like today may be good weatherwise here so I really would like to take a walk during my break at work. I've missed those and need to do it as it sure helps mentally to get out of my office.

Hope Tracy is okay.

Wendy? I'm making your apple pie tomorrow night and will take it over to Mom and Dad's Friday evening. I believe it's to be served cold. DH is making clam chowder for them. Maybe I should just have him make the entree and me make the dessert each time. Mom and Dad might agree, but would be too polite to tell me. Hope your back is improving.

BBL,

Jeanette
 
Ruh rooooh! Patricia, hasn't anyone informed you yet that I'm actually Angelina? They found me out last year; I thought that was why you wanted to post with us? Anyway, let me just clear up the rumours: I am not pregnant with twins. I'm not even pregnant! But an intestinal worm that I picked up on my last trip to Bwangadodognie has been really causing me some stomach trouble.

Sandralina
 
Traci....Well, that's a stupid price! Go back and do it again! This time, make sure you check off the box that says "Reasonable price", okay?

Aren't there likely to be seat sales over the next year, if we keep our eyes open? And can I hope that the $1045 is round-trip, not one-way? (Of course, I wouldn't mind if it were one-way, but you might want round-trip, since the snow will start falling at the end of August).

Sandra
 
Jeanette....I laughed about shortening the KB cardio; isn't Tracy always lamenting how short it is already? Thanks so much for the bike training recommendations. I'll see how I can work that into my schedule. I think I'll have to ride mostly in the evenings, as DH leaves for work ridiculously early, and I hear it's not good to leave young children in the house, unattended. Why does the pie have to be served cold? Aren't apple pies best when served warm with vanilla ice cream? Happy snorting!

Sandra

I just checked the flights for March, the latest date orbitz would let me check, and round trip tickets run from $600 and up. Not too bad. I might have to book far enough in advance if I want a decent deal.

Opening up a window for personals.

Ah ha, that explains it;-) However do you manage to look so beautiful with such a terrible afliction? Must be the warm glow of having Brad at your bedside seeing you through such a terrible illness. If only I could get so lucky:p
 
STILL procrastinating...now the house is a TOTAL diaster area & must be put back together...........My ADD is truly an issue some days......YA THINK?

I'm betting that airfares DROP significantly next year after gas prices come down.... I'll start saving for 1100.00 airfaire + fun money.... Lets see.... if I sneak 120.00 a month out of food budget for the next 14 months (dont ask WHY I came up w/ 14 months) I'll have 1680.00 in my stash..... By that time Sandra wont want to host so I WILL and we can all party ourselves silly on my mad money .... :)

OK- STOP making me get sidetracked today! You all are a baaaaad influence & un-like Sandrolina I am not wealthy, healthy, beautiful & wise- I gotta work at it.... :7
 
TRACY!!! Where are you?!?!?!

Does anyone have Carol's email address? I can't find it for the life of me. I need to get my books back!!!

I hope you all know I CAN play nice on OD.:) I saw the thread on OD that Traci linked. I stayed far away from that one!!! Even though I do agree/understand some of the scarier threads!}(

My back is feeling much better today! :) :) :) I credit it to dh's nightly massages. I truly don't deserve such a good man!!! Yesterday, the girls and I were talking about wives submitting to their husbands. I told the girls that it's easier to submit when your dh loves you more than they love their self. The girls so understood what I was talking about from watching their father. Then we talked about the importance of learning discernment should they decide to marry when they get older. I pray they steer clear of jerks before any relationship ever gets close to marriage!!! At any rate, allow me sing dh's praises now before Lindy comes out to play!}(

I feel good enough to start Phase 2 of the X today!!! Last night, I was thinking of going downstairs and pushing play. Thankfully, Mr. Sandman took over and rescued me from a 11:00 workout!!!

Traci: I sure hope you scheduled a nap in your day tomorrow!!! I know Debra would!;-) OMW! Fire ants are painful!!! When I was 7, we accidentally used an ant hill as second base!!! Unfortunately, I got to 2nd base first. I bawled while riding my bike home. My mother was furious at the neighbors!!! As if they purposefully trained each evil ant to eat me alive. Some people's mothers! sigh. Oh! Did you find the toilet bowl cleaner I use? I recently bought a pumice stone for toilet bowl cleaning. And, can I just say, sticking my hand, albeit clothed in rubber, into the bowl is plain nasty!!! I'll stick to my favorite toilet bowl cleaner, thank you very much.

Kim: Isn't it wonderful how much upper body strength one can gain from the X!!! I'm hoping I can whittle down some lower body fat with STS. I know diet is most important. I don't know if I'm ready to cut my carbs down low enough to shock my body though. Maybe for a week. I should try it and see.

Sandra!!! Guess what!!!! I got Laurel's Bread Book from Amazon in the mail yesterday!!! I decided to get it after I realized my fundamentalist daily bread bakers use it too for their daily bread recipe. These are the people who grind their own wheat and raise their own beef. I want to be like them when I grow up.;) I read some of it last night before bed. Excellent descriptions of what the dough should look like during the mixing process. OMW! Please lather yourself up with Lysol before you go into the germ infested classroom!!! You might also consider pulling a Michael Jackson, and put a mask over your face as well!!! Can't be too cautious around other people's kids!!!!!!

Jeanette: Isn't the 4DS kickbox/legs combo the best!!! That one sure get's my heart rate going. I don't blame you for shortening the cardio. Who, besides you crazy gals, has time for hour+ workouts? Certainly, not me!:D Which is one of the reasons why I have no desire to attend this year's roadtrip. I AM the laziest Xer!!! :p Yes, serve the apple pie chilled or at room temperature. I like to make it the evening before serving too. I hope you all like it!!! What's the Captain making?

Patricia: I'll have to search for my post to Nicole about my take on the spiritual side of yoga if you're interested. If not, I'll post a link to it anyway!:p ;) Have you ever tried power yoga? I think a combo of power yoga and one more focused on form is a good combination.

Okay ladies, I best open up another window to catch up on yesterday's personals.

BBL,
Wendy

Good gracious! You guys are chatty this morning!!! I figured you would all stay away since Stacy was so nice to share with us that Satan is apparently running rampant on OD!!!! Okay...test went fine, I guess...and I got an A on my paper...which let me add, the teacher started out giving me an A- but gave me a little bonus to an A as long as I don't share that information with anyone...LOL! CBL called me a brown-noser! I just told him that everyone likes me, so I get special favors since I am so cute.

No time for personals now...I promised to take my mom over to Greensboro to do some shoe shopping. It is a tough job, but someone has got to do it! Back later to catch up with everyone. It is a glorious sunny day here and I think spring may just be around the corner...WooHoo!!!!

Just checked on flights to Edmonton (as far out as I could go which was next March) and they started at $758 with one stop in Chicago...so not as bad as I expected. Keep in mind I still have XDH's credit cards...and I think he owes me since he was such a sh** over the weekend!!! Another juicy rationalization to keep me going another day!
