Good Morning Wendy, and all who follow!
We had our first snowfall here last night
It's way too early for that in my opinion. It's not like it left anything on the ground, but still...ugh. It's cold and windy today, and I actually had to bring out the winter jacket. I think this might be Laura's fault?? Did you decide to send your cold weather my way?
This morning I did Iron Core Way 2. I had hoped to do one of my new Jari's, but I didn't allow myself enough time for that this morning, so she'll have to wait for Friday. I got in a good workout nonetheless.
Jacque, I lol'd about your nesting It may just be the expectation of your grandchild that's causing that! Or it's the change in seasons. I know I always want to get organized this time of year, and spring, too.
Ang, I'm a paralegal working in bankruptcy, and our office pretty much administers the cases...meaning we make sure the debtors and their attorneys are doing what they're supposed to do and doing it correctly, as well as disburse the funds paid through the plan to the creditors who should be receiving it. It's funny, because my resume shows a history of work in customer service, accounting, and the legal field, and I happened to find a job that brought all those things together into one. It's a good fit.
Gotta get back to work, but the boss is out for the afternoon, so I'll definitely BBL~

Hi Girls.
Jen: We got some snow along with the rain here y'day too. Nothing stuck but ugh is right! ITA that we should blame it all on Laura! My best friend is paralegal. She actually works harder then her boss-the lawyer!!! He's a realestate laywer and she does the business deals so she not only has to deal with the sale of the building but also liquor lisences and such. She works hard and some long hours and rarely takes a vacation. I yell at her all the time. She allows that office to take advantage of her waaaay too much.
Well the standing work from B&G and Centergy are in the bag. Now I've got the floor work and some abs to finish up here in a few....I am gonna be one hurtin' pup tmrw!
Gotta go so I can finish up and grab a shower before it's time to pick the little guy up from school!
BBL!

Wendy, does you're friend happen to work for a man? I'll tell you, I know exactly how she feels, but not at this job. The law office I worked in prior to getting this one was also real estate focused and very fast paced. There was always tons of work to do in too little time, and quite often there were fires to put out. At first it was fun, but it definitely carried a burn out factor. And I have to say, the men that I've worked for are sooooooo disorganized, which adds to the chaos and stress. But now I work for a woman, and she's a great boss. She keeps the place well staffed, VERY organized, and does a great job delegating. On top of that, she's incredibly smart and nice, too. It has reduced the stress factor from a 10 to a three, and that's pretty sweet. You might want to just pass this info gently on to your friend

So I managed to get it all done...B&G standing work followed by Centergy and then B&G floor work followd by BBC standing obliques with Joey. It was alot of work but made easier by the fact that I got to split up B&G like that. I opted out of the "Gut" part because we did alot of ab work in Centergy class. We did not hit the obliques though which is why I threw in eye-candy's er Joey's standing oblique work.

Hi ladies - TGIW !
So was out too late last night to get up early and do the burn-it-up B & G workout this AM. But after today - I think B & G will be easy ! (JK, but looking forward to working out hard tonight).
Jen - sounds like you really like your job, that is so great ! Sorry about the short timing snow - I did hear that the weather back east was white. Sounds like the south got it to so guess we may hear about it from Laura.
Wendy - Good job with the B & G. How 'bout we compare DOMS tomorrow? But then you did Centergy too, and I'll be passing on that. Does it count that I carried GS last night for at least a mile in total? He must be a good 15 - 20 lb bicep curl !
BBL to see what happened on the checkin last night - need to get payroll done or some of the execs may be a bit mad when they go to pay their bills!
Later taters (to quote Wendy).

Hi Ladies,
I have been superbusy and am not feeling very well. I don't feel sick, more like I don't have any energy. I didn't workout this morning but did get in an afternoon 2.5 mile walk. Just enough to get away from my desk and give me a break.
I think things will be better for in the next couple weeks when I move back to my previous job.
It looks like all my cyber pals are working out enough for me-keep it up.
Wendy-I pm'd you-thanks.

OK - I made it home, skipped the chips and am heading to the workout room (with a Miller 64 to keep the tummy from growling I have always heard carbs are good for that!) then will switch to water to get my share in tonight.
BBL to let you know how hard B&G kicked my arse!
P.S. Have to add that I carried some heavy boxes of payroll registers and timecards downstairs for an audit today. Can I add that to the carrying around DGS?
<<< runs out the door into the workout room >>>

Hiya gals
Today was B&B and ARX. I've had to skip my afternoon snacks and chill time b/c I've been running late on time due to having to be at the school and pick up Cody from practice. It's OK though, it's giving me more time at night to chill.
Wendy - B&G eh? Ya - I'm sure DOMS will be in your future.
Jen - I woke up to snow too. The ground and trees were covered but melted off by early afternoon. I have a feeling it's gonna be a looooong winter.
So you have to make sure attorneys are doing what they're supposed to?? I'm sure you don't get paid nearly enough! *lol* It does sound like a good fitting job for you. How long have you been at it? I'll bet you are one busy girl right now eh? With the economy in the dumps have you noticed a spike in business?
What size KB did you start with? I'm thinking 15 or 20? What do you think?
Jacque - Have fun with B&G.....more DOMS.
So did the Sharks win last night?
Yes - all extra activities count!
Diana - Hope the transition at work goes smoothly. Kinda like an early X-mas gift huh?
Laura - OK sugar lady.....only had 2 carmels today and then 3 squares of chocolate after dinner. It's after lunch and dinner that I have to have a bit of something. The evenings can be a bear too, depending upon the time of the month. But, I am cutting down....
Hey Shirl and Dee Dee.

OK - done with B & G. And ya know what? After the fire hydrants were over I laid down to relax a bit and . . . . . . . fell asleep ! LOL! Not sure if DH saw that or not, but he started the BBQ a wee bit earlier than usual !
Wendy - went back to see the last few posts last night and when I mentioned an 8.5 mile it was 8.5 min. mile per hour and not 8.5 on the TM. I think I may have done an 8 for a couple of minutes during a 30 min HIIT before, but never thinking I could ever get that high for long! So it was equivalent to 7 on the TM. Wow you must have wondered after I have said I don't run much. So I did enjoy B & G, but only AFTER it was over, LOL ! And I see that Body Max 2 Blast is tomorrow. I did that a while ago and woo hooo what a butt kicker ! Sure hope I am up early enough to knock it out. Gotta get to work a bit early tomorrow.
Angie - I finished the first two walls of painting and I absolutely love it ! Got the base board done so I could move the furniture out of the middle of the room. Now I have only two short walls to paint, just solid and not striped so it should go pretty quickly. No where near the furniture on those. Tomorrow DH has hockey so that is my FREE night and I am gearing up for Painting ! Shopped for some fabric so I can sew up some new pillows for the couches. YES I am getting excited. I may just have to use the slow computer in that room to chat with you ladies just so I can admire it! AND yeppers the Sharks won. I saw the Avs didn't quite do so well. Think they need a new coach too? GOOD JOB on the sugars today ! I think I can go without the chips but now need to cut down on the CAB's.
Diana - I totally understand the lack of energy thing. That was sooooo me last week since I was busy. Guess it was a forced rest week and I am surely ready to kick some arse this week. Good job for taking the walk - it will help you "realign" and get back to where you want to be. I tried a little more iron at the end of the week and it helped me a bit.
Ohhhh Lady Laura . . . . . hope all is OK with you ? Or are you hiding 'cuz you jumped into the sugar bin and don't want to admit it? LOL !
Hey Shirl and Dee Dee - hope you are doing well and that I didn't pass my busy week off to the two of you !
Until the AM . . . happy evening chiquita bananas !
(Yep, I think not eating my afternoon chips has made me hungry and food crazy!)
