~~~~Watercoolers Monday~~~~

- Start date
Not much chatting this weekend. I've been battling allergies ever this heat wave started. Yuck! No workouts for me this weekend. It was enough to deal with throbbing headaches, itchy, watery eyes, and a stuffy nose.
I did meet up with Jenn for yoga day, although they didn't have any yoga or yoga talk?!?! They did have free massages. Jenn met my massage guru and got a sampling of some northern style Thai massage. I won a 50% metabolic and nutrition counseling package. Phil wants to know what kind of prize is that where I have to pay 50% of $250!!! Anyone interested in it? You can pretend to me and take the test and get diet advice. Let me know. I'm not game.
Previewed Strike Zone last night. Will do today. Although, I think I might be with Fitmom Wendy on this. Not very motivated. Then again, ya'll know how I am with previews and actually doing the workout. My opinion might change.
Okay, opening up a window for personals.

Scrolling back to Friday.....
Debra: Are you bringing your laptop to Toronto? I'm debating if I want to drag mine.
Jeanette: I never did get around to badger the boys to download CC Press Play over the weekend. I will try to download it soon. Maybe they can talk me through it. I'm so technically challenged!!!! But, I would love to do it with you!!! I took a look-see at Jafra. Nope, never heard of it. It looks like a Mary Kay home party set up. Not interested in selling make-up to my friends. I quickly chatted with my massage guru about TTOM and loose joints. She acted like it was common knowledge. LOL So, I guess we're not weird. :7 Moving on since I don't want you to relive any joint dislocation horror. Yes, I recall someone on OD mentioning negative VF posters that posted on OD too. I'm not sure who they were talking about since I never pay that much attention.
Sandra: Poor thing. She sounds irritable!!! I be you can wait for your toddler's future TTOM?:+
I've never heard of adrenal fatigue. I googled it and found some interesting links too. My Word! I think I have that too!!!! Did you see the one on Web MD about it not being a recognized diagnoses in the medical community. Not saying that it's not a real sickness!!! Just be careful where you get your advice. Hey! Would you be interested in pretending to be me! You can get metabolic diet advice using my 50% off raffle.:7 I hope you and your dd are feeling better today!!! :* :* :*
Kim: Are you having fun on your trip? Easy 8 miler:7 :7 :7 You just get on getting on!!! I thought of you while watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Yes, I'm so out of the touch! I finally watched it for the 1st time yesterday with the kids. Anyhow, the blond runner made me think of you. I hope your friend decides to try P90X. She might be shocked at what her body can do once she starts lifting. I never did do BM2 this weekend. It's on my agenda this week!!!
Okay, ladies. That catches me up till Friday. Posting so I can heat up my coffee.

Good Morning Coolers!
Did the earth stop spinning on its axis? Wendy is starting us off? At 7:30 no less?! LOL! j/k. I'm back online after a weekend getting caught up on errands and chores (and the usual fighting for computer time, lol). Today on my rotation is supposed to be a 50 min run, but I'll probably be subbing the HIS/LIS cardio only from the 4DS. I'm also contemplating something harder. It depends on how warm my living room is when I work out, lol. It's been SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot here! I've had to bring the rabbits (all 8 of them!) inside during the day for the last 2 days and today as well. I'm hoping tomorrow won't be quite as bad and I can leave them outside. Also on tap today is the dentist (yay). That's what's going on around here. I'll be back in a bit to catch up on personals. Off to do history with the kiddos...

Morning Coolers,
Just a quick one for me right now as I need to get some cleaning done, yep that is right I took the day off. Too bad I am cleaning the house today. In reality I stayed home so that oldest DD could go to a pool party today. Don't know how much swimming there will be since it is cloudy out. I will have the day to myself, because youngest DD is getting picked up after school for a party too. That means I should be able to clean the house top to bottom. :7 :7 :7 I will be going out and about to run errands also.
My plan right now is to clean, when DD comes home at 10. I will drive her and her friend over to the party. Then I need to pick some items up from the store. The rest of the day is mine to do what I want, and one of those will be to start P90X+. DH put my bar up!!! So the first workout will be Upper Plus and Abs/Core Plus.
Wendy, I was hoping that Tracey's Strike Zone would be a good one. I liked her last KB workout. Hope that it is a better workout to do than to watch!
I will be back later to chat some more,

Finding Saturday's posts....
Found it!
Debra: Yeah, you caught me. That was me prank calling. Just wanted to spread the hate.}( Speaking of veins... I have one that I want removed too. You first. If it's not too painful or expensive... Wait!does your insurance cover it? ...I'll get it done. What type of pain could it cause? Need to know so I can experience it should it make a difference with my insurance picking up the tab. Of course everything went fine with Xdh and CBL. Who could not like CBL's white chicken legs? :+ Of course the Diva rocked it at the recital!!! She's a diva!!!
Laurie: WTG on the marathon!!! What's a little heat and humidity! You are conditioned!!! No ipod yet? What are you waiting for? Nows, the perfect time for you to buy dh one for Father's Day and borrow it.}(
Patricia: Are you getting excited for your Nascar weekend? Is your camera all ready to go?
Jeanette: You had a nice weekend!!! Last night Phil asked if I wanted to go to Reno so he could gamble while I was hanging with you. LOL But, I fear you'd put me to work painting and gardening. How was the party? I'd kill anyone who showed up to a surprise party for me. I'm not good with surprises, especially the older I get more set in my ways. }( Well, well... that's a new saying "slapped leather". Slapped chenille doesn't sound as sweet huh? All those projects of yours is making my head spin. Then again, I just took some Sudafed. It doesn't take much to make me dizzy on that OTC drug!!! Glad you got some biking in on Sunday. Although 33 miles sounds like a HAUL!!!! I wanted to bike with middle ds on Sunday, but it was tooo hot and humid!!! He ended up swimming at the neighbors while I slapped the chenille!
Ballistic Hugs to ALL!

Carol, I see you slipped in while I was playing catch up personals. Isn't this weather downright tropical!!!x( I made dh put in the ac on Saturday. I'm wondering what all would be involved to install central ac in this ancient farmhouse. Probably more work than what we'd want to do. Oh, you might want to keep the bunnies indoors for a few more days. I think the heat and rain will break sometime mid-week. Have fun with HIS-LIS. Better you than me. :+
Patricia: Sorry, I didn't see you already started today's thread. I am loopy on OTC drugs.:+
Gotta get started on my day.

Hi all...Hope everyone is doing well. I feel like I am catching something...Hope not! Or, if I am, I hope I go ahead and get it and get it over with before Toronto. DD is in DC with her dad until tomorrow afternoon...so at least I have a little bit of a break. I went to dinner with CBL last night...and we are supposed to do something together tonight, too.
I am gong to run for now...I may be back for a chat late this afternoon....just working on laundry today...
Kisses to all!

Afternoon Everyone:
Boy, the a.m. just flew by. Glad to see my TTOM started today. I didn't want to have it while I'm sharing a Motor Home w/2 other guys. The less they know the better.;( Maybe that's why the scale hasn't shifted since last week. Hm
Wendy - too funny on winning the draw. Could you just ask for either the metabolic or the nutrition consultation? Thay way you're cutting it in 1/2 and it s/b free. I don't see my nutrition getting any better than what it is now. Anything more clean then what I'm doing now just doesn't fit into my lifestyle. Can't remember the last time I had a pop even. I read a review on Strikezone recently and it sounded really good. I don't have any Tracey's so looking forward to your comments.
Sandra - how is DD doing? Hope you're over the worse. I haven't had time to look up adrenal fatigue but I used to have a co-worker who didn't produce any adrenalin. She is on drugs for it of course but she really doesn't get too excited or move too fast that's for sure.
Carol - I bought a standing oscillating fan recently for my w/o room. I'm in the basement where it is pretty cold but wanted the extra air movement. Finally turned the a/c on this past weekend as it turned hot and humid practically over night. I actually like going to the dentist(for cleanings of course). My plan pays for every 3 months. Have not yet found one here yet but it's on my to-do list as Matthew turns 3 next month so it's time for his 1st visit. Not looking forward to that at all.
Laurie - isn't it terrible we find so much joy in being able to get the cleaning done on our day off? That's what Molly Maid is for. Why not go to a movie and relax? Have a day just to yourself? Your worth it!! Have fun with X+ today.
Okay off to run errands on lunch hr.

Back for a quick hello. I ended up doing my Bryan Kest CD...Long Slow and Deep...Kind of sounds like a porn flick, doesn't it?? LOL!Instead of being a fast, power yoga, in this one you hold the poses for as little as five breaths and up to 2 minutes to let your muscles relax into the stretch. There is one pose that you hold for 10 minutes...you don't realize how hard that is until you try to do it!! Anyhoo...nothing else exciting going on here except for the extreme heat we have had for almost a week now. CBL and I are just going to head to his pool tonight and hang out there for a while and order a pizza. Maybe a dvd once the sun goes down. Should be relaxing.
Not going to try to catch up with weekend personals, but I promise I read all of your posts!
Wendy...
Hi there, my love....No, I don't think I will take my laptop along to Toronto. Have you figured out yet if our cell phones will work up there?? I am still waiting for new yoga duds from Prana. Sorry your allergies have taken you out over the weekend. I already know my nutrition is terrible...I don't need to pay anyone to tell me that! The doctor talked like the vein thing (because mine is so big) was going to be super expensive and could lead to surgery. Ugh. If you just have a small one, then they just use a saline flush on it in the dermatologists office...Not sure how much that would cost, but I know that insurance won't pay unless you are having some pain with it. LOL about CBL's white chicken legs!! Poor guy...He has a huge sunburn on his tummy...but his legs are still pale...LOL!
Carol...
Sounds like a busy day for you...I am sure those bunnies must be almost cooking outside...Poor things! Good luck at the dentist...that usually isn't fun no matter who has to go.
Laurie...
Hope your DD's have fun at their parties today. I'm with Patricia, ditch the cleaning and do something fun!! Hope you enjoyed the X+ workout today.
Sandra...
Worried since we haven't seen you in a few days...Hope you and DD are both doing okay. Why do you think you may have adrenal fatigue?? I am assuming that your symptoms are matching...I did look it up and I can see where it would be difficult to diagnose.
Jeanette....
Have a great time golfing tonight! Sounds like you were a very good grasshopper yesterday. Sorry the seat covers didn't fit...Hope you got that worked out today. I will send some of our heat your way...We have heat indexes up to 103 over the past few days. No big plans for the week...Nothing exciting anyway...One of my friends from high school (actually we have known each other since we were 7 y/o) is going to be in town on Saturday, so I will be excited to catch up with her. Probably will go to the pool with DD once she is back from her trip.
Patricia...
Glad TTOM came for you...I was wondering if that was part of my problem today, but I am no where close to time...Just the middle of cycle draggies, I guess. You must be getting excited for your NASCAR weekend! Hope you have fun with Eoin in the camper...Where will your boys be while you are doing yoga??
Kim...
Sending out positive travel vibes your way!
Well, that does it for me for now...Hope everyone has a great night!

Just popping in to say what a small world this is. The company I ordered my Manduka yoga mat from is in MI and he confirmed my order with a personal note today to say that he used to race his sailboat on Trout Lake many years ago. Trout Lake is part of where I live. Can you imagine?
I needed that pick me up after today.
At home and Matthew seems to be a bit under the weather and hoping its nothing that will interfer with Nascar + I can't take any time off work this week - as it is I brought work home. My fingers are x-d.
Okay back after I've got my w/o in.

Thanks Debra I will be sure to tell him that the person with the cool meez is wishing him well! He loves your latest by the way.
Another cool thing just happened. I responded to the yoga mat email and mentioned that I was going to a yoga conference. So they responded that instead of sending it to me by snail mail they at their own cost are sending it by UPS to ensure I get it on time. How cool is that!
(just hope now I don't have to pay brokerage fees and duty - at least via the post office I generally can get away from that. Oh well thats life)
Here is my plug for them:http://www.yogasculptures.com/
Just got finished doing Burn it Up. Have BB at 9:45 tomorrow night and will start packing up stuff for the camper. We have to drive about 3 hours to the place we rented from so everything has to fit in our Explorer 1st which actually doesn't have a lot of room can you believe it?
Okay off to bed for me. Have a great evening and see you in the a.m.

Hi all,
No workout this morning, but did the big circle for my walk today (break time). A golf game didn't happen as the "back 9" was closed down and front 9 taken up with "Men's Night". 2 other girlfriends and me hit balls on the driving range and just yakked it up. I also scheduled a lesson for next Monday.
Wendy, darn those allergies! What are you allergic to? It sounds so miserable. How was Strike Zone? I've been taking Mondays off. My little treat. Will be back with a circuit tomorrow. Thank you for not talking dislocations LOL! I do freak out! Can't stand to see the kids wrestling around. I'm thinking of ordering CC#8 soon. Just need to do it. Is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants good? Never seen it myself either. I'd never put you to work if you came here. What kind of grasshopper would I be? The party was really, really fun and very relaxing. Got to chat a lot with people I hadn't seen in a while. Loved it. The 33 miles didn't take too long to do, under 2 hours I guess. I have an organized ride on Saturday. Think it's 50 some miles, but lots of fun and a little challenging. Weather should be in the 80's for it. Much better than the disastrous hot weather for my triathlon relay.
Laurie, oh, I envy your day off. I'll be taking off some time soon for my Grandma's service and my sister arriving. I didn't use the Bereavement Leave when GM passed away so will use it here in a couple weeks. Might as well.
Debra, hope it's not a cold you are getting. Maybe allergies like Wendy has? When is the Toronto yoga thing? LOL on Bryan Kest's LSD! I like him okay, but find him a bit too creepy touchy feely with the fellas. Wonder if Wendy's Phil would be creeped out if touched like he does the guys in his DVD's? Wow, what caused the big varicose vein? Why do some people get them and some don't? The seat cover company called me and they are sending me a new cover. I just need to send the wrong ones back and they will credit the shipping charge. That will be nice meeting up with your girlfriend this week. I'm trying to organize a dinner night out at a local lake soon. Weather is perfect right now for that. Love sitting on the restaurant deck, looking at the sailboats, pine trees and mtns while sipping a nice wine or mixed drink and being amongst good friends. Can't wait.
Patricia, glad you are getting TTOM over with. Adrenaline, hmmmm, when I get scared, adrenaline shoots thru the backs of my hands. Weird, huh? You like going to the dentist? I go 3X a year for cleanings, but I don't like them. I've been "zinged" a time or two and I get furious and nervous when it happens. I always feel the need to remind the hygienist each time of where my sensitive areas are. And I always refuse the "polishing" afterwards. Something about that vibration I just don't like anymore. She forgets and asks me if I want "mint" or "grape" flavored polish. "None" is what I respond with. Hoping your little guy gets over his bug soon. Has he been interested in his bike yet?
Sandra, hope all is well with you. Done more research on the adrenal fatigue? Hope you are getting some answers.
Didn't sleep too well last night (too much coffee too late), so will get to bed earlier tonite.
Night all,
Jeanette

Wendy, darn those allergies! What are you allergic to? It sounds so miserable. How was Strike Zone? I've been taking Mondays off. My little treat. Will be back with a circuit tomorrow. Thank you for not talking dislocations LOL! I do freak out! Can't stand to see the kids wrestling around. I'm thinking of ordering CC#8 soon. Just need to do it. Is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants good? Never seen it myself either. I'd never put you to work if you came here. What kind of grasshopper would I be? The party was really, really fun and very relaxing. Got to chat a lot with people I hadn't seen in a while. Loved it. The 33 miles didn't take too long to do, under 2 hours I guess. I have an organized ride on Saturday. Think it's 50 some miles, but lots of fun and a little challenging. Weather should be in the 80's for it. Much better than the disastrous hot weather for my triathlon relay.
Laurie, oh, I envy your day off. I'll be taking off some time soon for my Grandma's service and my sister arriving. I didn't use the Bereavement Leave when GM passed away so will use it here in a couple weeks. Might as well.
Debra, hope it's not a cold you are getting. Maybe allergies like Wendy has? When is the Toronto yoga thing? LOL on Bryan Kest's LSD! I like him okay, but find him a bit too creepy touchy feely with the fellas. Wonder if Wendy's Phil would be creeped out if touched like he does the guys in his DVD's? Wow, what caused the big varicose vein? Why do some people get them and some don't? The seat cover company called me and they are sending me a new cover. I just need to send the wrong ones back and they will credit the shipping charge. That will be nice meeting up with your girlfriend this week. I'm trying to organize a dinner night out at a local lake soon. Weather is perfect right now for that. Love sitting on the restaurant deck, looking at the sailboats, pine trees and mtns while sipping a nice wine or mixed drink and being amongst good friends. Can't wait.
Patricia, glad you are getting TTOM over with. Adrenaline, hmmmm, when I get scared, adrenaline shoots thru the backs of my hands. Weird, huh? You like going to the dentist? I go 3X a year for cleanings, but I don't like them. I've been "zinged" a time or two and I get furious and nervous when it happens. I always feel the need to remind the hygienist each time of where my sensitive areas are. And I always refuse the "polishing" afterwards. Something about that vibration I just don't like anymore. She forgets and asks me if I want "mint" or "grape" flavored polish. "None" is what I respond with. Hoping your little guy gets over his bug soon. Has he been interested in his bike yet?
Sandra, hope all is well with you. Done more research on the adrenal fatigue? Hope you are getting some answers.
Didn't sleep too well last night (too much coffee too late), so will get to bed earlier tonite.
Night all,
Jeanette
Good Evening Ladies!!!
What a day!!! After the girls ate breakfast, eldest dd shows me her palms. It's all itchy and red. So, I give her some chewable antihistamine. She helps put away laundry while I do another load and wash dishes. I start the twins on math facts and go look for dd. Here, she climbed into my bed and fell fast asleep. Thinking she was trying to get out of math, I tried waking her up. She's out cold. Poor thing. I let her sleep.
Then I get a call from our evaluator reminding me the girls' tests was today! I thought it was tomorrow evening. So, I spent the afternoon prepping the girls on spelling, grammar and math. I know it's not a test you can study in advance. But, I can't help it. And, do you know what!!! It's TRUE!!! It really isn't a test you can study in advance!!! I could have saved myself some stress for when it really mattered like the next time dh forgets a key ingredient from the grocery store. }( :+
Anyhow, we didn't get home till after 9:30. After another load in the laundry, I decided I best push play.
Strike Zone
Well, I hate to admit it. But, I agree with FitMom Wendy!!! I was afraid Tracey's cueing would not be good *for me* when I previewed it. I guess I need more than a second notice before doing something totally new in a combo!!! Also, the volume didn't help. I usually use my laptop for my workout dvds ever since the Xbox got the red lines of death. Anyways, the volume on my laptop isn't a problem for my Cathe's, Eoin's, P90X's, and other dvds. However, I couldn't hear Tracey clearly enough over the background music. Maybe if I could have turned the volume on my laptop over the max, it would have been alright. I managed to get through the warm-up and first four combos. I got frustrated during the 3rd combo, walked away, did dishes, and did the 3rd combo again. The second time went much better. I could tell I was getting frustrated with the 4th combo, so I stopped the madness. I am not fond of the camera shots. I really don't want to see a close up of some one's face when I'm trying to figure out where to place my body. For what it's worth, I really never need to see a close up of some body's face during a workout. I'll keep it, only because I never get off my lazy butt to sell anything. But, the only way I'm going to get any benefit out of Strike Zone is by learning... scratch that... is by memorizing the combos one at a time. Until then I don't know if my heart rate will ever go up high enough to get any cardio benefit besides doing jumping jacks. This might be like Kenpo in the fact that it gets better with time. Only, I didn't have this level of frustration with learning the moves in Kenpo!!!!
So, after that fiasco, I played around with BM2's warm-up and first combo. Now that I was good and heated, I spent some time Bliss Riding with Eoin.
Yes, I know this is a selfish post. I'm tired! Sue me!!!:+ I will have to catch up on personals in the AM. It's almost 1:00 and I still have to wash the sweat off my face, crawl into bed and snuggle up with my sweet dh.
{{{{{Patricia}}}}} You sound like you need a hug!!!! Hope tomorrow is better for you and your ds!!!
Okay ladies...
