Good Morning:)

I planned to get up early today and get a run in before work but either I didn't set my alarm clock OR it went off and I shut it off! Its a good thing I didn't sleep in! Luckily DS woke at 6:30 so I got up then. This means that I won't get a workout in today b/c we are going to a friends house for supper tonight. Im hoping it won't be to late b/c I have to work again in the morning and maybe, just maybe, I will feel rested enough to run in the morning. If not, I don't think I will get a workout in tomorrow either. My MIL always cooks on Sundays and I will be to full to workout!

I did #1 from the HC extreme dvd last night. It was a good workout but I should have gave my stomach more time to digest supper. I didn't eat that much though...and sure enough my MIL noticed! Drives me crazy!!!!!!!!! You have no idea! I think she is keeping an eye on me b/c of the fact that I am smaller then I was before. So I had DS up the whole time I ate my supper, then he grabbed my plate and rice went everywhere. After a while...she says "are you done"? I told her I was and she says " you didn't eat very much" I told her that I was planning on working out and that I had ate a little something before I left work...which I had. I don't think she beleived me and I think secretly in her mind she is thinking that I don't need to workout! She just kind of looks straight ahead and doesn't say anything.

Anyway...that it from me. I may read yesterdays post to see what I missed but I do have a flight comming so I may get busy shortly!

Good Morning ladies

Todays workout is thursdays workout that I missed,a 20 minute walk run and a 20 w/Ankle weights powerwalk.My knee's have been hurting this whole week,im starting to think that I should run today and just powerwalk with the weights for 40 minutes!

Lori-OH honey,I KNOW what you mean about your MIL-I've decieded that when my DS gets married one day-Im NOT going to give the girl a hard time like my MIL has given me. And hopefully my DS will have the sense to not bring home some idiot,LOL.

alright,I will be back this evening---good news---I think I have talked my DH into NOT going to the wedding(yahoo)}( ;-)

Hey to Belinda(where are you?)Cheryl-Carrie-Lainie-Stacey and Cathy!

Belinda-I was wondering and have been meaning to ask you for a while now-Did Mary ever respond to you! I have wondered how she is doing?
 
Good morning!

Lori, man, I'm so sorry about your MIL and can totally empathize!!! My MIL is ALWAYS making comments about my weight. After I had my DD the comments were very negative like, "do you ever eat", "you are too skinny" etc. It was to the point where she made a comment every time I saw her. Very annoying. Then she caught on after a comment to her by my DH to back off and after he explained that I do indeed eat and workout (she's never worked out a day in her life). Finally, now after having Ryan the negative comments have stopped and I'm now hearing, "look how slim and trim you are". Guess I'll take it, and try to just not worry about it anymore. I think it is very hard for other women, especially those with children and who have never worked out to understand us gals who make the effort to take care of ourselves. For me it's really about my health and feeling good and strong, rather than vanity (athough it is nice to be able to fit into clothes I like). Sigh...okay, had to get all that out!

Amelia, good morning and I hope you are able to get your walk/jog in today. Any news on the wedding? Hope you are able to get out of it:) I have a wedding coming up next Sat, and I'm sure it will be a food fest!!

Well, we have a busy day in store, but my plan is to do intervals 1-4 from LowMax this evening. Looking forward to doing some step. I took a rest night last night and it was a nice break.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone:) :)

Amelia** Glad to hear you don't have to suffer through that wedding! LOL Who is getting married anyway? Is it a relative? I bet you feel realived but I little guilty at the same time?

Stacy** I love my inlaws I couldn't ask for nicer people and my mother is actually worse then my MIL. My mom does not STOP with the comments! Like the other day I was working out and she told me I was small enough and that I didn't need to workout anymore. I then told her that I don't just workout to lose weight, unlike herself who only walks when she gains! My mother is 10 x's worse but I think it doesn't bother me quit so much b/c I can say whatever I want to my mother where as I can't my MIL. My MIL runs a business here and I think her customers see me out running, make comments to her and she then as to pick up for me.And on top of that, I think she wants to make sure that I am eating. But in saying that my mother did comment the other day that I was to small and my MIL said that she would love to be my size...Im wondering if she isn't a little jealous? She was o.k a couple of weeks ago cause she thought she was losing weight, now last night I heard her say that her pants were tight. Sometimes people get more envious over the fact that we can work all day plus still find the time to workout and I think that bothers them more then the fact that we look pretty good.

Ugh...there I got that off of my chest! hehe I think I am going to change my user name today...so keep an eye out! LOL

Hey girls,I got my workout done.It was so cold outside I had to wear two jackets!

Lori,Naa,im not quilty iam missing the wedding-my DH's cousin is getting married! DH don't feel good today and said he just didn't feel like going(I brought it up though,lol)But its funny that he feels like going shopping instead:eek:

Stacey,I love Lowmax-I don't have the whole workout just the fittv version-I do plan on purchasing it one day! Have fun with it!

Hey to the rest of the gang!bbl
 
Girls,I forgot to ask- I did a 40min ankle weight powerwalk today(a sub for a twenty minute run on my rotation)I was wondering if doing B&Gs would be alright tommorrow? Or should I just give my LB a rest and do some UB work? Give me your thoughts on it...bbl
 
Hi, everyone!

Didn't get time to check in yesterday - but I had only the cardio portion of 4DS LIS to report. Not much time.
This morning did an hour cardio - 40 min MIC plus 20 min TM - tomorrow will be 4DS BC - like that one!

Lori, sorry about the MIL issues now and then. Not fun. Sounds like a good workout, though.

Amelia, I would do B&G tomorrow. I don't think your powerwalk should ruin it. I'm always in favor of getting a good LB workout done in the weekend when you can really focus.

Have a great Saturday, everyone!!

Lori:) Ahhh, family! I totally get where you are coming from. I also love my inlaws, but just like my family, they have their quirks;) You're right though on the jealousy, that could very well be what it is.

Cheryl** Are you enjoying the new series? Mine should be here next week. Im gonna see what kind of results people get from the rotation and I may end up doing that next month.

Amelia** If your legs are sore tomorrow then I wouldn't but if they are o.k, I would! LOL There must be something wrong with your DH if he wants to go shopping! Mine never wants to, unless he wants to buy a t.v or car!

Stacy** Yes, it doesn't matter family or inlaws, they are all the same! Its just that I can say stuff to my own}(

Just waiting to get off of work......boring....boring!

Hi girls,

I am back from my conference! I am very tired from the car ride (4:30 hour).

Amelia – Mary never answered!! I do see her on the forum! I wish her the best!

I will catch up with you gugs tomorrow! I pomise!

Hi to the rest of the gang!

Good night!

Belinda
 
Hi everyone. I did get the migraine yesterday but it wasn't one of the really severe ones, possibly because I took meds when I first smelled my migraine smell. Today I have a fever again but only a mild headache. Ewan has a low fever as well, but he's napping well enough. Oh, and Ewan fell down the stairs today--that was big drama first thing this morning. He's o.k., just a couple new bruises--freaked me out, though.

Our big excitement today (after the stair incident) was a family trip to the grocery store. I wanted to leave the kids with Brian and go by myself but he insisted we all go. I think just so he could toss more chips and beer into the cart while I was buying the healthy food. http://bestsmileys.com/movingeyes/2.gif He also started stocking up on stuff for Thanksgiving dinner.

Lori, sorry for the MIL drama! I hardly ever see my MIL and the most discomfort I have to deal with is when Brian neglected to call her on my birthday and she told me about it (and I apologized on his behalf--normally I nag him into calling his parents). I like my in-laws well enough, but he's not very close to them and they're in Texas, so we don't see them much.

Amelia, do you get crackly knees or just pain? Mine have been crackling like nuts, though they don't hurt.

OK, got a wrap this up so I can go take some Ibuprofen. Ugh. Hello to Stacey, Carrie, Cheryl, Belinda, & Cathy!

Lori, so glad you broke down and ordered 4DS. You will love it. Guaranteed!

I finally broke down and bought a 30 lb dumbell today (just one) to use with those plie squats, which I love, love, love. That whole LB workout is an all time favorite - gauranteed DOMS for 2 days right where I need it the most, but no dread factor. I also ordered my 2008 Cathe calendar.

Belinda, welcome home!!! So glad you're safely back. Bummer about the long drive.

Lainie, yuck on the headache! I'm so sorry to hear about that. I hope the wrap helps.

Have a great night, everyone!
