Morning WW'ers! Just saying Hi as pups let me sleep in until 4:30 today! WooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooo

back w/ personals for all you party animals out there! I was SO in my jammies when ya'll posted!;-)
 
Well sadness is diminishing as I awoke with the BEST chest & shoulder DOMS! I have a burn in a “new part” of shoulders (lower front) that make me look like I have Cathe arms.. Well it’s TRUE if ya turn the light out – lite a little candle and stand just right! Ha
Problem is to figure out if it was just because I lifted 15’s for all shoulders or WHICH exercise gave it to me, Cathe, Amy, or Oxygen Magazine W/O … Oh my, it’s always a guessing game for me! Anyway… I also got a great surprise card from a gal pal in the mail yesterday…. Just what the Dr ordered to kick the funk right outta here! Gotta LOVE our girlfriends! God’s special gift to women I call them.

Today is a Lower Cardio Day (plyo sub) so I will be tackling for the first time ever Drill Max Cardio Leg Blast (mix #4). Its 54 minutes but I think it will feel like a half marathon! I also will do my Ellen Barrett Yoga Pilates Blend to work abs a bit.


Lori:
So happy you are safe & sound! Driving in inclement weather is not one of my favorite things in life! Stay in today and stay safe! 5 am B&G? Oh my that’s dedication. I have found that mentally I’m tougher in the early AM but physically I am stronger later in day… It’s always give & take isn’t it? Happy about your arm healing as well.. Sounds like it was just a tweaked muscle maybe. Swelling still sounds weird tho!

Cheryl:
Oh goodness – now I have to start thinking about a road trip too! You know as “social” as I seem I really never get into those kind of things but if it means finally have real time bonding with you guys then heck I’m all for it! I hope if Cathe does one there is PLENTY of notice as our summers are always jammed packed with bay house guests. ROFL about “lunch with Nadia's step mom #2 (ex husband's ex #3 in progress)”… The family unit sure has changed over the years! It’s very cool tho that all of you are so close & get along. Makes my DH CRAZY when I say that if I had met his X # 2 under different circumstances I believe we’d be great buddies! You had quite a lovely day for Nadia and I’m sure the shopping was the highlight! Did people sleep over as well? An Ice Cream cake weekend..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH – you always forget to invite me to those days! What’s up with that? LOL your family dinner sounds wonderful as usual…. Always makes me wish I had a family to have around weekly.

AMY:
LOL on SJP! I don’t know how you “squeak out” the killer workout! I have always done 1 of the BA-ZILLION premixes… to afraid to tackle as produced. I bet your HiLo’s were just fine! Mine are normally Low Impact HiLo’s! How’s that for creative modifications!
Hope your CC Monster today is heavenly! Will be nice to give the joints a bit of a rest from SJP. Your work week is almost over! WooHoo!!!!!!!!

Happy Morning to Jane- I'm still praying!, Gidget, Claude, Kali, Belinda. Back later to see you!
 
IGNORE POST... I'm bored and testing message layout preferences UBB & some other one... I'm curious & DH doesnt know what they mean. HA:7

FYI- Keep it on Classic! :+
 
Good morning everybody!

Traci - DOMS does have a way of making us happy... strange isn't it!? But I love it, we know it is working.

Amy - thanks for the kind words on yesterday's post. I was ready to go yesterday and DS told us not to make the 3 hr round trip just to watch him sleep since he wasn't coming home. We are definitely going today no matter what but I'm sure he will be coming home. I can't wait to get him home.

He is going to be out of work for about six weeks they say. He has sick time and vacation time to cover five weeks of it. He doesn't have to worry about anything though between us and his two sets of grandparents. The only thing I hate is that he was going to take time off when the baby is born in April and now he won't get to. But at least he will be here when little Joseph is born so I'm NOT COMPLAINING!! :)

Thanks again everyone for your kindness, thoughts, and prayers during this time. -
 
Good Morning WW's!

Bet I am doing something no one else is doing! Im nursing the baby on my right and typing this with my left hand! Not easy...but I can multi task.

Well, I took the plunge last night and I signed up for WW on line and I am also going to try and follow Cathes Feb rotation. I wonder where my weight loss will be at the end of the month? I think I will see some good results

DH isn't in my good books today. He was playing in a hockey tournament all weekend and when he got home at 3:35 A.M all he did was snore! The baby woke up at 4 to be feed (which was the first time since we went to bed and that was great) but then when I tried to get back to sleep he was to busy snoring and not really hearing anything b/c he was tired and truth be known....drank to much. Anyway, my good nights sleep went out the window when he came home. I almost took the baby and went into another bedroom but that would have just woke the baby up. Ive alreadt told him off a couple of times but he isn't fully awake for the tongue bashing!

Anyway, I should go get some breakfast and get buster dressed for the day. Im not sure when I will get my workout in. It also calls for BM2 and I haven't done that one yet. I bet I am in for a treat!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning, Campers!!!

Just a quick post, I have to run to bed and sleep fast. I decided at 0100 this morning to organize a Stupid Bowl party at work tonight so I had to run to the grocery store on my way home and then put all the ingredients for White Chicken Chili in the crock pot.

OMG!!!!!!!!Jane, I totally forgot that your DIL was pregnant!!! WOW, that makes everything MUCH more of a relief that he survived! I really hope that you were able to get some rest!!! I hope that DS is able to come home today! Just remember to remind him to keep up on the pain medication and to not be "macho" and try to tough it out! That will only get him into trouble with too much pain and the pain cycle can't be broken with what they're going to discharge him with! I know of whence I speak!!!

Gidget- I am sorry that you have two babies to care for this morning!!;-) }( I hope that you catch a nap later!!

Traci- I am so happy that you got your beloved DOMS from your new rotation! See, I told you that you'd do just fine on your own!!!

Ta-Ta, ladies! I will check in and see what shenanigans are evolving later tonight!!!;-)
 
Hi everyone.....Jane, I am thinking of you, and I hope you DS can come home today. My mom called this morning with the wonderful news that my dad is coming home. My family always gets together & has a Super Bowl party, and it just would not be the same without him. We usually have it at our house because we have a big screen, but now we will probably go to my parents. Our big screen is in our basement, and I don't know if my dad will be bale to go down the stairs. My parents bedroom is upstairs, and once a day may be all he can handle at first.

Usually Sunday is my rest day, but I am going to do LIC cardio, and the arm drills for Cardio Kicks. I have been using more of my FP's this week, and plus with Super Bowl tonight, I need a few extra points.

I hope everyone has a great day.
Lori
 
Hi, everyone! Wow, everybody's been busy while I slept.

Traci, CONGRATULATIONS on your graduation from X. Wow. What an accomplishment. And hurray for the DOMS and the "see-able" results! (Always love when that happens). Yes, girlfriends are truly a thing that makes life worthwhile. A road trip would be so much fun. And if the timing doesn't work, we'll just have to arrange something else.

Jane - WOW, I am so glad your son is doing well enough he may be able to come home. You are right, losing the time off is a small issue compared to his life being spared. In fact, this whole experience may turn out to give him a new lease on his life, in many ways. I am so happy for you today.

Lori/Gidget - Bummer on the snoring hubby and the loss of sleep... aaagh! You are funny about him not being awake enough to truly appreciate the tongue bashing. I hope you love WW online. That's what I've been doing since Fall, up until I switched over to Spark People two weeks ago. I think you'll really enjoy the program and it's so easy to track everything online. It'll be fun to follow your progress.

LoriSax, HURRAY on your dad coming home!! LIC cardio sounds great. I haven't tried the arm drills for Cardio Kicks yet - will have to give it a whirl. Enjoy that Superbowl party!!

Amy, Good luck with your party!!! I hope it is fun. Sounds like you are having a decently good weekend :D :D :D

This morning I started out by facing the b-day party dishes (sigh - and no, it wasn't a sleepover, but I was driving girls home at midnight and didn't get to bed until 1:00). So the party clean-up is over and then I cut up all the shish-ka-bob meat so it can marinate.
Our church doesn't start until 1:00 this year. So I still have time for Muscle Max plus a nice TM run, I think. That's the plan. I still have plenty of time.

Well, off to the workout - and have a wonderful morning, everyone! I'll check back in later to see what everyone's up to.

:9 :D }( :* :*

Happy Mid Day!
Accomplished the task at hand… Power Yoga (Kest) 6 min Power Abs advanced (I clocked it as 13minutes tho)… Drill Max Cardio Leg Blast DONE! OMG gang… that is so good as a Plyo day sub!! Cathe actually does so many functional moves as part of this that it’s a Core Syn/PloX mix. I LOVED IT – my legs are really very tired but the true test will be to see if DOMS hit tomorrow. So far so good on keeping X philosophy in my workouts…. WHEW```` Because I wanted to keep it lower focused as I have DOMS + Back Bi & Tri tomorrow, I did 2 things differently. I wore my 1# Boxing Gloves throughout workout so I did not hold dumbbells or stability ball when Cathe did. Sure made those squat thrusts at the end more do-able on the wrists as well.

Cheryl: you must be very groggy today! Remember when we could stay up all night and not be phased a bit by it the next day? Hope MMax got ya good and that the TM run gave you great endorphins!

LORI: That’s so neat about your dad being home for annual SB Party! What a joyous occasion no matter where you have it! I am so relieved for you & your family. Your planned workouts sound perfect for a few extra flexies!

Amy: Our little party coordinator! You are so funny… You LOVE last minute fun things don’t ya? Well your Chili is sooooo good- perfect choice for tonight!

Gidget: ROFL about nursing & typing… You are indeed a fantastic multi-tasker! I think you’ll like WW On line! I did it for about 8 months and found a lot of value… when I started converting to clean/calorie counts I too went to Sparkspeople. It’s a great transition off of points if/when you choose to do that. Give DH HE**!!!! I can only imagine how ticked I’d be if I were with a new baby and DH out until all hours…. I believe in equal diaper/feeding duties! Enjoy BM2… I love the step combos in that one!

Jane: {{{{{DS}}}}}}} I am so happy he is coming home today and glad they kept him a bit longer. So whats the recovery team plan? Will you be taking some shifts as well? You will really be running on empty if you cant take time off work… going back & forth can take its toll so you take care of you too!

Well I need to shower & get busy in the kitchen for DH's junk food fest! Already have Chili Con Queso in the slow cooker and made the Guacamole at 7am so its just getting stuff together. He'll start at noon and just eat his way thru gametime which is 3:30 start time here... ME, my plan is to eat my regular clean day BUT pop open a bottle of wine. Hope to BBL to see all who I may miss.
 
Hi again -

Yep, Muscle Max got me just right and the TM run has kicked my endorphins into high gear. I'm dripping! Now I can go on with my day. :) }( }( }(

Traci, awesome workout. Puts your entire day on the right note, eh?

Lori G - Not only can you type one-handed you can do it with your LEFT hand. That's even more impressive :7 :7 :7

Amy, good luck with the party prep!!!

Have a great afternoon, everyone - off to the showers

xoxoxo,
Cheryl
 
Im so glad everyone is impressed with my multi tasking!:) And Im doing the exact same thing now! LOL It makes feeding time quicker.

Once again I didn't get todays workout inx( There was just to many people around.My in laws came at 11 and didn't leave till 3 and between that my parents showed up. By the time everyone left I had to go to the grocery store and now its time to make dinner. It will just be me and the baby tomorrow so I should be able to workout.
So far I am enjoying WW on line. Im aloud to have 30 points! And 35 flex points. Not really sure how they work yet but i'll figure it out.
I havr used sparkspeople before as well but i thought i would stick to something better if i put some money out there! Lets see if my plan works....

Feeding time is over...be back later.
Lori

Hey everybody.... HE'S HOME!!! We got him home about 1:00. He was so relieved to be out of that hospital. He was able to ride in the front seat of my Envoy and, of course, he had his back brace on. I am so thankful to have my son! Thank you everyone for your support. You're the best.

Amy - I went to get his meds filled after we got him home. They gave him hydrocodone, Flexeril, and Colace (which I'm sure he'll need after the hydrocodone!)


Traci - I won't be going down there every day. I'll go Tuesday when I go to town for my WW meeting and see him. They live about 35 to 40 minutes from us. DIL doesn't work so she'll be there all the time. My MIL and FIL and my daddy and stepmom live about five minutes from him. It was so funny, I was massaging his shoulders as he sat there in his chair with his brace on. DIL said that me and my MIL would have go be on speed dial and on call since I started that!! LOL.... She is so relieved to be home, they both are.

Lori - I so glad you dad is getting to come home!

Cheryl, Lori, Claude..... everybody, thanks so much for your prayers.
 
Hi everbody,
Last couple of days I've been really run down. I am not sure if I caught something. Yesterday I had good intensitons of working out, but my body was too tired. I ended up taking a well deserved rest day! Today I did SJP and I felt good. But now I felt like taking a nap. My neighbors have a little dog which they keep all day outside. All the dog does is bark all day long. They really don't care about anybody else.

Jane I am really glad that your son is going to be ok!

Have a great evening!
Belinda
 
Hey, all! Party is pretty funny because there were 3 of us that brought soup!! I brought the Chicken Chili, someone else brought Taco Soup and another brought regular chili!

I guess we've got South of the Border Soup night!!!

ICU census is down so we only have 6 nurses here (there were 12 on the schedule!), so there is PLENTY of food!!!

Jane- I am so glad that DS is home! What a relief!!
Gidget- I hope that you got a good nap in!!
Belinda- I am sorry the energy is off. I hope that you are able to rest up and gain it back!!
Cheryl- So, how'd the Ka-bobs go over??? They sounded delish!!!

Monster was great tonight. CC #6 was awesome! It was only a 500 calorie burn, but it felt great and it was just right on the length of time (just under 60 min!)

I had to laugh because someone at work had the TV on Animal Planet when I got here and they were playing "Puppy Bowl III", complete with a "football" field where there were a bunch of puppies running around playing, "play by play" commentary, and a "half-time" show of a bunch of kittens playing! It was super adorable and very entertaining!

DH wants breakfast in the morning, so he's picking me up and we're going out. I will check in when we get home from that.
