Hi all!! Finally back for a little chat. Sounds like everyone is busy this weekend. I, personally have been lying around on my big, fat buttocks all day! Reality is going to set in soon enough, so I am taking advantage of my down time now. No workout for me today....I still have some DOMS from my workout the other day...so I used that as my excuse not to do anything today. I ended up doing Jennifer Kries pilates dvd yesterday. Nice stretch.
okay...onto a few personals....
Jeanette....
So happy to see you back!! We missed you! Sounds like you have had a busy week. I can't believe you instructor quit without telling you....but it sounds like you have gotten a better person anyway. I am sure you will have a good time with the family tonight. Don't worry about what you weigh...I know that is easier said than done, but you just need to feel comfortable with yourself and your fitness level. Thanks for the compliments on Julia...I think she is a cutie...but she has been pretty sassy lately.
Nicole....
Hi there!! Hope you had a great birthday. Good to see you hanging around!
Wendy...
Hi there, little lady! Love the new color. Hope the haircut went well, too!! I am so glad that your massage therapist is doing you some good...and it is great you are already seeing some improvement in your ROM. My knees are feeling okay...but I haven't done any step in about a month. My glute/hammie is still aching all the time. I know I need to get to a PT myself, but I just haven't done it yet. I kept thinking that it would heal if I just took it easy, but no such luck.
Kim....
Thanks for the compliments on my DD...she is a cutie, but she is in a very talkative/sassy stage...Some days I wish I could send her off to camp for a week....LOL!!! Did you get CS done?? Are you getting fatigued more easily this round of the X?? Glad you had fun playing with the fonts and the colors this morning!
Patricia...
Glad the potty training is going well. Good luck with getting diapers on him...lol. Sorry that cold is still hanging on. I always say to take it easy on the exercise when you are under the weather...especially with the X since it is such an intense program. Have a fun weekend in TO!!
Traci...
Hi there, you little lurker!! Have a fun weekend at the bay!
Okay...think that is it for me. I am planning on continuing to hold my sofa down so that it doesn't get away from me...LOL! I have a few movies from Netflix to watch...so I will get right on that! DD has a Hannah Montana concert in 3D to watch tonight...so we are all set .
Have a great evening ladies!

Hi all,
Had a nice time at the birthday party. There were tons of kids and adults there. Lots of fun. Tomorrow will be a bike ride in the morning, probably a 2 hour one, then DH and I are going to take the Rhino and go for a ride.
Debra, sounds wonderful to sit and watch movies. I did weigh myself this morning and was SHOCKED that I hadn't gained any weight, plus, the BF% was about the same if not a little less than when I last used it months ago. I was pleased, but I know that my body composition is not what I'm satisfied with, though eating cleaner would definitely help. I know about the sassiness...I had 3 kids that got that way from time to time. When we were kids and got sassy, out came the bar of soap, I kid you not. Seems like kids nowadays are more um.. expressive and opinionated than when I was growing up, or so it seems to me. (((Hugs))) to you. I can't even imagine ever having to raise kids again. Whew, glad I got thru that period of time okay, somehow. How was the HM concert? Did you have popcorn? I loves popcorn!

Nicole, nice to see you pop in. What's new with you?
Kim, how do you do those colors and such?
Traci, how's the boys,
Wendell and the bay? Miss you, my friend!
Okay ladies, will talk to you all tomorrow.

Good morning. I did get CS done Friday and KenpoCardio+ yesterday (finished week 5!) but my lower back is definitely bothering me. I may be taking today off. This morning we're off to church and then this afternoon I'm driving ds to camp
Yesterday I went to my cousin's 25th wedding anniversary tea. Lots of family in from out of town for it, nice to see everyone. Really enjoyed the afternoon.
Jeanette Sounds like also had a nice family event. Hope you enjoy your ride this morning. Glad that you didn't gain the weight you were worried about. I have gained a bit, and I'm playing with my thryoid meds wondering if that is the cause. To get the different colours, font and smilies, go to UserCP, then to Edit options, scroll right to the end where you see Miscellaneous Options and change it to Enhance Interface.
Debra My dd was watching the Hannah Montana movie too although she has seen it twice before. Hope you enjoy your movie night.

Good Morning!
HI all! Just popping on to say hello....Nothing new to report in my world. I am not feeling my best today...I feel achy and my tummy is acting up (what else is new!)...so I will probably just head to the pool with the Diva if she ever wakes up!!
Jeanette...
So glad to know the scale was kind to you yesterday!!!! I know it shouldn't matter, but it does to me. I understand what you mean about the eating clean...it is just that all those unclean food taste so good! Have a fun ride today...and then a good time with DH and the girls this afternoon!!
Kim...
Good idea to take today off if your lower back is feeling twingey. Good luck on dropping DS off at camp...make sure to bring some tissues!!!
Okay..that's it for me now...I will try to stop by this afternoon sometime...I have to take DD to the kidney doc tomorrow to get the results from her last test...also she will have to have blood drawn...and this is no fun for either of us...She kind of reminds me of the Tasmanian devil...kicking and screaming. It is awful. And no amount of coaxing and calming seems to work. Ugh. Just a joy to look forward to.

Sunday Afternoon
Well home from the Big Smoke and resting from all the driving and visiting. Amazing how much sitting in a car tires one out. Had a good time catching up with friends and Matthew got to play with plenty of other kids. So glad he slept the whole night thru especially when visiting and sleeping in a strange house. Except he had a leaky diaper this a.m. when playing on the floor beside the bed on carpet of course so some clean up for me. Wonder if my friend will invite me back.. I'm sure she will.
Kim - how did dropping off DS go at camp? Will it be a quiet week with one less kid in the house?
Jeanette - don't worry about the scale. Are you clothes fitting you well. I can't believe you have anything to worry about with the amount of cycling you do. Did you see Kim's response for doing the colours? Just need someone else to try and do more than 4 smilies and it wouldn't let me earlier in the week.
Debra - how are things? Sounds like you need to slowly get back into working out. That's why I like to have a variety of intensity of work outs. I don't think you can go all out all the time.
Big hi to Traci, Nicole and Wendy.
Off to see what's in the fridge for dinner. Have baseball at 8:30 tonight too.

Hello Ladies,
I clicked on the wrong check-in and wondered who the hell joined since yesterday!
Sorry I've been MIA. I feel so swamped for time. It takes me almost 2 hours to do all my PT exercises at home. Stayed up all night doing laundry and studying. Slept in today. Right now I should be making soup. Never enough time...
Love the color even more as the color is coming out a little from normal shampooing. I have very porous hair. It doesn't take long for permanent color to not be so permanent. The cut is perfect for the darker, heavier hair. Love it!!!
So what's been going on at the cooler?
Debra: I best check my email again for your arrival time. Can't have you and the diva sitting at the curb in Philly!!!! Note to self: Make sure you get your daily nap!!!! Does sleeping on the beach while the lifeguards guard your child count as rest and relaxation? I took a look at the 60++ pictures you posted!!! Who are those people? I know who the diva and ex are. Love the pic at the American Girl Place. Note to self: Don't show the Swanettes your pictures. LOL I hope you feel better by now!! HUGS to the Diva!!! Sure is hard being a kid and enduring tests and doctors!!! My neice was really sick when she was a toddler. Once at the hospital, she was screaming and crying. She started promising my SIL that she'd be a good girl from now on if she could go home. Poor thing thought she was being punished. It was heartbreaking. Get thee to a PT! It won't hurt. Do it while you're still married and can use his insurance.
Jeanette: I am so happy you're on the forums again!!! Glad the MyChelle products are working with your skin!!! I bet you're relieved to have a professional instuctor since your previous one was... well, not very professional!!!! Congrats on the weight. I try to steer clear of the thing myself. It's hard when I'm bloated, not working out as much, and eating junk. I have to keep reminding myself that there are more important issues in life like kids being fed, clean dishes to feed said kids, and clean clothes for same children rather than bf%, protein content, and workouts.
Kim: I see what you're saying about cancelling PT for a haircut. But, I really really really needed to cut my hair after the darker, harsher, heavier color!!!! LOL I wasn't going to cancel at first. But, I could only get in then. She didn't have any openings before my vacation. And, I made sure it was 110% Okay with the PT. Of course, I didn't tell them why I couldn't make it, but they didn't ask or seem to care.
I best start on the soup. Darn kids keep getting hungry!!!
Hi to Tracy, Nicole and Patricia. Hope all is going well with you lovely ladies!!!

Hi ladies,
Had a good bike ride this morning with 3 other riders. We did 22 miles, but did a 6 mile hill climb along the way. Got home and DH and I loaded up the Rhino, snacks, the dogs and hit the forest service roads. We went 66 miles and had a great time, stopping and relaxing at various points along the way. We traveled up to a favorite lake to see how close the bad fire last year came to it. Pretty close, burned so many acres up there. Looks like the moon in some spots. Dead. Even the ground. Other places, the trees will come back. Anyway, it was a very nice day.
Kim, thanks for the how to on the colors and fonts. Very easy, but I'm sure it would have taken me a while to figure out on my own. Why is your back bothering you? Friday, my upper back off to the side was aching some, kind of like a sore kidney, only high up. I took a couple of motrin and it was gone within in few hours. Sounds like you attended a nice anniversary party. I do like to go to parties, but the food is hard to turn down. How long will your DS be gone? Know you will miss him.
Debra, hope this finds you feeling better. You've had more than your share. I soooo know what you mean about unclean food tasting so darned good! You should have seen the food at the birthday party yesterday! My DD made 4 angel food cakes and they were beautiful. I had a small piece and it was delish! Hope it's not too traumatic for your DD tomorrow. I'm a terrible blood donor. I get a little light headed and my veins collapse. They sometimes have to draw blood from my hand, which can hurt too. (((Hugs))) to Julia for tomorrow. Did you ever get that vein taken care of in your leg?
Patricia, my clothes are fitting okay, though tighter in the waist area, which is probably related to getting close to menopause. Usually I can tell any weight gain in my face and I don't see it. I need DH to NOT buy anymore Kettle chips!!! Or at least he should just leave them out in his truck/lunch pail. What is the Big Smoke? It is amazing how tired one gets while sitting. Kind of like getting too much sleep.
Wendy, I'm so sorry you are feeling a bit time pressed lately. Hope things get better soon. Is the pain less in your shoulder? Then the time devoted to PT is worth it. My DH actually cried one night, his shoulder hurt soooo bad. I'd never seen him do that before. I had my DH come out and watch my new golf swing. He was sooo impressed , I'm sure LOL! He's a smart man and said that it looked more athletic. I'm hoping to go play 9 holes tomorrow night. We'll see. DH will be getting our backhoe out tomorrow (he said) and start prepping the area where the pavers will go for the new patio area. I'm hoping I don't have to stand there with a whip so I can golf instead. Yep, I'm an awful wife.
I got an email from Sandra (Fiddlefit) and she had one AWESOME ride today for the Tour De Alberta. She loved riding in a group! I'm hoping she'll send me a photo of the ride soon. So excited for her.
Night everyone,
Jeanette
