Hello Haters.
Sorry, I missed all the fun today. Got home late from work tonight and very stressed out. Trying to fix an issue of another employee got me 2 hours OT. GOD only knows what'll happen on Monday. No workout and no dinner just peanut butter and jelly.
To add more to it, I didn't hear from Gary. Nick has dropped off the face of the earth too.
I was getting together with some new people on Sat. nights and that ended this week too.
So, the plan is to have a Great Weekend anyways. Sat AM is going to be HIS. I need to just do it.
Please let me know what's going on in your life. Hope it's GREAT.
 
Hi Jennifer!

I'm sorry you had a stressful day. GRRRRRRR -- I used to hate it when the incompetence of others caused me to work OT! Well look at it this way, your weekend can only look up from here, right? ;)

Let us know what you think of HIS. I haven't tried the new workouts yet. I'm waiting for Cathe to post the November rotation. I'm also a little afraid to go heavy with the weights right now on account of my elbow. It's very slowly improving and I'm worried about irritating it.

I'm awfully sorry you haven't heard from Gary and Nick. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}. They probably don't deserve you anyway. I think your plan to have a great weekend despite your disappointments is a good one and very inspiring! There's no point in allowing circumstances that are out of your control to ruin a perfectly good weekend!

My DH just got home and he's cooking some god-awful tofu dish -- YUK! Anyway, he's the only person I know who can cook and make the whole house stink to high heaven. I swear I'm getting sick from the smell of whatever it is he's concocting ;(

Alrighty, I better get downstairs and see what he is up to :eek:

G'night everyone:*
 
Goodmorning you haters, you.

Jennifer, I am glad you are determined to enjoy the weekend, in spite of let downs. Hey, at least you don't have to work, which I do.

Michele, at least when my DH cooks, I know it will be good. He only has two dishes - tortellini with meat sauce and chili. I had a very small portion of the tortellini last night. I'm determined to stay in the 10 pound meltdown.

I have to work today, then run a couple errands in preparation for a small birthday get together tomorrow evening for Greyor. I'm going to do either PH or ME this evening. Sunday will be a rest day. Yay! Finally, a six workout week for me. Next week I'm hoping to do BBC, then see what Cathe has planned for Nov.

Have a great day all.
 
Hello Robin and Michele.

It sounds like you both have great men in your lives, whether they cook or not.

Last night, I didn't sleep well so I'm going to try to workout today but no guarantees at this point.

Sunday, I have my brother's birthday party one hour northeast of my house. We don't connect like I do with my sister in NY or my brother in TX so I rarely go up there. His sister in law over spoils my nephews with gifts so it's not cool. She needs to date.

Actually, going into work will give me a fresh look at the problem that happened last night. Instead, I'm going back to bed and maybe having motivation to workout.

Nick, there's not much hope for. Gary, I think he is related to the guy I used to have a crush on.

BBL.
 
Hi Jennifer and Robin and all!

Robin -- my DH LOVES to cook. It's his outlet, that and target shooting. I'd like to shoot him when he wreaks havoc upon my kitchen -- LMAO!! He always makes a huge mess, and he doesn't realize that wiping down the counter and back splash is part of cleaning up the mess. He tends to only wash the INSIDE of a pot, too x( . I've had to tell him repeatedly that pots and pans must be washed in HOT soapy water -- inside AND outside, and the handle, too, for crying out loud! He does a really good job with some dishes, but sometimes he's heavy handed with the spices. Last night he used a specially brewed Worcestershire sauce. He must've used a ton of it because it made my eyes burn all the way upstairs :eek: LMAO!!

Jennifer, I hope you have fun at the birthday party. My family lives pretty far away -- at the other end of Ohio -- so I don't see them very often. Sometimes I think that's a good thing ;) . They almost never come to see me x(

So did you do a workout? I'm doing the Cardio Coach PUMP workout today. It's a weight circuit and I like it a lot.

Okay girlies, I have to run. I'll see you tomorrow :)

ETA a big thank you to everyone for posting in my ^5's thread :)
 
Hello Haters.
It got real cold here today. It actually feels like fall, how amazing is that.
Called some of my ex husband's friends to possibly to my trim next spring on my home. They're coming by to give me an estimate next week so I plan for it plus upgrading my refridgerator and stove too.
They haven't seen or heard from my ex in years.
No workouts today, I'm too wiped out. My goal is to aim for Sun AM. Then, start my full rotation next week (all Cathe DVDs used interchangably) although the 4 Day split will done together on consecutive days.
My family has the unofficial 60 minute rule. We cannot live within 60 minutes of each other and it works out well.

Hope you have a Great Night.

Hey haters- can't sleep again...http://bestsmileys.com/frustrated/9.gif

Had a busy day yesterday, did Powerstrike 1 and Reach for workouts. Also did grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, some yard work, and closet cleaning. Still have a way to go on that but did manage to clean out about 3 garbage bags full of clothes! http://bestsmileys.com/eek/12.gif I put this off for WAY too long b/c I have the space for the clothes with having 3 bedrooms & lots of dressor space it's easy to just ignore the clothes I don't wear!

Went to Chad's house last night for dinner, he had his boys this weekend but the oldest ended up going to a friends so it was just his youngest there and then Mike's two kids came over and were spending the night. So we had a good time. I was so tired with no sleep though I left aroung ten and came home & went to bed but here I am about 2 AM wide awake! Going to my mom's today for a few hours this afternoon after working out and then Chad is coming by later this evening for a while.

Jennifer- Sorry you had a crap day at work Friday. Also sorry to hear that you haven't heard from Nick or Gary... http://bestsmileys.com/sad/11.gif


Michele- Did you get the kitchen cleaned up after your DH made a mess? What do you have the agenda for the weekend?
>I'm doing the Cardio Coach PUMP workout today

You are doing SO GOOD on your workouts- http://bestsmileys.com/signs12/15.gif You know I'm going to start asking you daily now what your workout is/was for the day...

Robin- Sorry you have to work this weekend! http://bestsmileys.com/signs7/11.gif

Was August going on trip this weekend again?

Okay we'll I'm going to attempt this sleeping thing one more time... I'm sure I'll be back before long but hope not too soon!

http://bestsmileys.com/signs7/16.gif
 
Morning Jen and any haters who follow.

Jen, I hope you got back to sleep. How old are Chad's boys? Yeah, August said something about packing for a trip.

Today is a rest day. I'm pleased to say I finally fit a 6 day workout week in. I'm planning on doing BBC next week and seeing what Cathe has planned for the Nov Rotation.

We are having a small group for cake and ice cream this evening for Greyor's birthday. I made a pumpkin pie too, since Greyor liked the last one I made. I expect about 18 friends and family. I have to head to work now. See you all later.
 
Hello Jen, Robin, and Michele and the rest of the Haters.

After a good night's rest, I am ready to do HIS finally. I think Cathe's Nov. rotation is going to be very interesting especially if she throws in there some CF and BMX2.

Got home from church last night, and some new guy started talking to me. He's from the UP. He seems pretty nice so far. Still bummed about Nick though, no Gary yet either.

For my brother's birthday, since he and his family eat whatever, it'll be a high fat dinner followed by cake & ice cream plus candy everywhere.

Jen, did you get some sleep? I didn't realize Chad had boys.That's great that you two do spend time together, kids activities can take over sometimes.

Good morning Robin & Jennifer!

Didn't really sleep well at all, probably going on about 3 hours but am feeling good & ready to workout but was talking to mom on the phone when Chad beeped in so talked to him, then called mom back, then my ex-called AGAIN- didn't answer though but now have a text message I haven't read yet. He has been back to bugging me more often lately, I don't want to have to be mean, the most I ever give is a text back or quick e-mail at work when he e-mails me but I never answer when he calls. http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/4.gif

Anyway, Chad's boys are 12 & 15- he has them every Tueday and then every other weekend but talks to them daily and between sports and just doing other things with them he sees them a LOT more often than just 'his days' with them. He is a REALLY good dad. :) I'm used to being around boys that age- Tim & I were together for about 4 years and he lived with me for 2 years so we had his son every other weekend. He was 10 when we started started dating so 12-14 when they lived here, he is 16 now! I would also NEVER ask anyone to put me in front of anything of their kids, I never did with Tim either, just don't think that is right. I went to ALL of Zach's sporting & school events with Tim we always had a blast and he was in a LOT of sports!

Well I am off to do the 4DSBC cardio then either 4DSKB or CTX Kickbox cardio part, I really like that one and not sure I want to try two new cardios on one day. Then I may do parts of the legs weights and then all the biceps from the 4DS, we'll see. Off to shower after that, head to moms, then back home and Chad is coming over for a while before going to pick his oldest up from a party at nine...so, I should be able to stop back by then if not before, mom has broadband at her house too so I'll check in from there if any of youse are around!

Hello Jen, Robin, and Michele.

Yeah, I just did HIS. Then, I previewed it and walked through combo 3. Most of the blasts I got through although I was zoned from sleeping. The mornings used to be my best time but now it's late afternoons or early evenings to workout. Combo 3 and blast 2 I think are the best.
Tonight or tomarrow night, I want to do it again so I will be doing a 4DS repeat this week. The 2006 series will just have to wait.

Jen-That's odd about your ex. Does he sense someone new in your life? My supervisor is getting that from her soon to be ex right now.
Good for you for being comfortable with the kids-it's fun to be with them.

Off to get ready for my family's birthday party. This AM, it was 31 degrees here with frost. Doing HIS, I did open the window.

Have FUN Everyone!!
 
Hey Robin, Jen, and Jennifer, and anyone else lurking!

I'm getting ready to do the CCPP workout. I've just been watching a little TV (some cooking shows), and doing laundry this morning. DH had to go into work this morning but he should be home soon. He's cooking dinner tonight *SIGH*. He wants to roast a chicken, but I've pretty much decided to commandeer the side dishes or we'll be eating fried potatoes and veggies with a creamy, cheesy sauce :eek: :7 .

Robin - give that little cutie patootie grandson of yours a big ole birthday hug and smooch from me! It's hard to believe he's a year old already! Enjoy the party!

^5's on your 6 day workout week!! I know what an accomplishment that is because I've just had 4 weeks like that in a row :eek: -- a first for me ;)

Jen - I'm sorry you didn't get much sleep last night. UGH! I just hate that! I'm also sorry your ex is still nagging you. At some point he just has to move on. I had an old boyfriend once who wouldn't leave me alone. It started with phone calls and gradually got creepier from there. I ignored him and eventually, after about 2 years, he finally gave up. For me, it's very uncomfortable when an old flame won't let go, especially when you're trying to start a fresh relationship with someone else.

Have fun with your workouts!

Jennifer - I hope you have fun at your brother's Bday party! I haven't tried the 4DS yet, but I keep reading posts about how complex the HIS choreography is. There's no use in pretending -- I'll probably never try that workout. Step just ain't my thing ;) . I MIGHT try the BC workout at some point, but not yet. I don't have enough endurance for a workout like that.

Hello to Dana, August, Diane, and everyone else. I'm off to do my workout, then I have to shower and run to the grocery store. I'll see you tomorrow :*
 
Hello Haters.

It's a beautiful sunny afternoon here in West MI..
The birthday party was fun, we played 5 card bingo and won about 5 hands. The food was fattening, only meal I had for the whole day, so I splurged some.
Michele-HIS, the 3rd routine is complex. You break it down by previewing it, it's doable. The first two routines are quite simple, IMO. BC, it's so fast and flies back so quick. It's similiar to DM in some cases. Walk through them both.

Jen-Can you block your phone from your ex calling in? I can block on my landline, emails, but not sure about cell.

My 12 year old nephew already has facial hair.It's scary. He's in a wheelchair, might be for life, unless something miraculous happens.

Have a Great Night.
 
Evening Michele & Jennifer!

I am not real worried about Tim getting weird on me or anything- he really is a good guy and I know he still cares about me & would do anything for me. I do still care about him and think a part of me always will but I don't love him anymore. He still tells me he loves me, blah, blah! We were together for almost 5 years & for the most of that we were best friends also, got along really well. He just started taking things for granted and things went downhill. We still work together so I see him there a couple times a week.

Anyway...got home from mom's house in enough time to shower quickly and sweep the house then Chad was here. Just left a few minutes ago to go pick up his oldest son who is staying with him tonight b/c Chad is taking him to a doctor's appt at 9 tomorrow. I PROMISED Chad I'd be in bed by nine so I only have 20 minutes to get my clothes out of the dryer and into bed!

He hates it that I don't sleep b/c he knows how important sleep is so I worry him, LOL! I did fall asleep for about 20 minutes while he was here, I was comfy. Well guess I need to keep moving! I ended up doing 4DSBC cardio &weights then did 30 minutes of floor thigh/butt workout. I really like BC, I think CTX Kickbox, BM2 upper body, then 4DSBC would make an awesome workout-think I'll give that a try next weekend.

See you all tomorrow!
