X-Factor It's Monday...AGAIN!?

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Sleeping Beauties!

I actually had no plans on getting up this early but DH is getting up earlier for work right now so when he got up he disturbed me. Since I'm up I'm considering banging out some CTX UB but not sure yet.

Dinner was a success. Everyone loved the baked ziti. We also had salad, wine and beer. YUM! For dessert we had crumb cake, cookies and donuts with coffee ofcourse. DOUBLE YUM! Everyone cleared out around 7pm. I spent a little time cleaning up and went to bed shortly after DS did. He was in bed about 8:30 and I think I hit the sheets around 8:45. I was tired. I watch tv for a few minutes (The Wizard of Oz, LOL) and then passed out. I feel pretty good this morning except for my cough. I hope it lasts. (fingers crossed)

Ang: Great job banging out the chores y'day. I was a cleaning fool y'day. I swear I love having company cause it FORCES me to do a big cleaning job! LOL GLADLY taking a rest day did you say!? *GASP!* Just kidding. I actually appreciate my weekly rest days. It's when I have to rest MORE OFTEN then that that I kick and scream. I am totally taking it day by day since being under the weather. I've 3 taken unscheduled rest days since I've been fighting this cold or whatever it is. Believe it or not, I WON'T exercise if I feel lousy. This is why I am loving my morning work outs. I feel good in the morning so if I want to get 'er done, morning is the best time. Nope, haven't been watching Lipstick Jungle. I'm horrible at keeping up with tv shows anymore. I never remembered to watch the season finale last season and totally dropped the ball on watching the first episode this season so no LJ for me.

Diana: That's great about your nephew, his wife and the kids. How was the movie? I heard Changeling was good. I want to see it but I don't know that DH will go. May have to grab the girls for that one.

I guess that's about it for me for now...I'll be back later though!

Ciao!

Morning .. Monday .. *ugh*

Hey Ladies .. sorry I was MIA over the weekend .. I had another crazy fast paced weekend. DH is still sooooooo sick!!! Bless his heart ... he still can't talk - coughing - sore throat - and congestion!!! I am trying to stay away ... and you girls are not a whole lot better huh?? Man the crud is everywhere!!

I hope I am not getting it .. my throat is scratchy and I have ZERO energy!! Just none .. feel like if I could have stayed at home I would have slept all day!!! Think I am going to skip the lunch w/o and save what little energy I have for tonight's class. I will stick to a circuit class b/c my brain is mush!!!

My Auburn Tigers lost (by 4 points)!! man it was a nail biter though! We really should have won we had a bogus penalty called on us THEN w/ 30 seconds to go .. on the 20 yard line about to score TD for us ... 3 plays w/pass interference and the refs did not call it .. .. We played better than w have all year and we still lost!!! we are off this coming weekend .. THEN we play our RIVALS cocky AL I will NOT be a happy camper if we loose to them .. we have won the last 7 years over them .. but this year it does NOT look good!!

Anywho .. getting upset just thinking about it .. better run .. since I have been filling in my work has gotten so far behind .. gotta get on it!! Will BBL for personals!! Have a great one!

Laura: Wow, a sick DH and a losing team!? (((HUGS))) Sorry about the bum luck. Hope you get your energy back and squash that bug before it gets ya!!!!

So I think today's plan is a 5:30 Pilates class at the gym and perhaps a 20 minute run afterwards if I'm up to it. I'll resume with the end of my rotation tmrw. I have the day off so I can do a longer work out. I should be able to begin the 2007 GRFS rotation by this weekend.

BBL!

Wow Wendy where are all our cyber pals?? They must be having one of MY days!! today has been rough .. if I could I would cancel class and grab some CABS and tune the world out after work .. .. but alas I am going to teach and hope I make it through!! Gonna have to be a "no-brainer" w/o though .. the brain is too tired and mushy ... think going to do a circuit w/more emphasis on shaping than cardio .... the ears are ringing away and the sudafed does not seem to be helping . hope the dizzy vertigo does not come back .. dang it .. I have gotta snap out of this mushy fog!!!

Wendy hope your crud is leaving you .. baked ziti? mmmmm that sounds wonderful!! I love the Wizard of Oz .. when I was little I would cover my eyes when the "monkeys" came on .. for some reason they really freaked me out .. scared me to death!! LOL

Di .. how is the new/old position going? Congrats to the couple that adopted .. that is so great!!

Ang .. no bargains?? VBF went shopping yesterday and said she found so many sales that she has most of her Christmas shopping done with I am the wait till the weekend before Christmas kinda gal thank goodness DH is better at shopping than me .. he always goes w/me and can find the bargains .. I would rather shop via the internet .. can we say "Amazon.com junkie" ... LOL

Jaque .. was wondering about the fires and your location .. so glad you are far away from them .. the news coverage is frightning!! I always worry about the animals/pets ... and from the looks of some of the houses people waiting to the very last second to leave .. hope they grabbed their pets!!

Jen, Dee Dee, and Shirl .. I hope you gals are on the mend ... I am trying my best not to catch the crud .. but feeling cruddy today for sure!!!

OK . . one more hour to put in before having to lift myself up and give myself a good kick in the arse to get to class .. lol!! have a great one!

Hi ladies,

Well I was too lazy to drag myself outta bed this morning. I'm not too worried as I have my workouts planned out for this week. I did heavy leg training at the rec ctr and had to lighten up a bit. It's been at least 3 weeks, maybe 4 since I've been able to get over there for heavy leg day. At any rate, my quads and hamstrings are already dom'ing! Fortunately I have the meltdown class tonight that makes up for me being lazy this morning.

I'm still not feeling 100% but feel good enough to make it to my class tonight. I skipped it last Thursday because I felt so sick. My energy level seem to wane by mid afternoon. My low blood pressure and thyroid problem just make the matter worse.

Wendy-sounds like dinner with inlaws was a success! Get better soon. I enjoyed the movie right up to the end-I didn't care for the ending though.

Laura-You just can't seem to catch a break. Hope DH feels better soon and doesn't pass the crud on to you.

Hi Jacque, Jen, Shirl, Angie and Dee Dee. I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.

Have a great day ladies.

Hi chickies ! Late pass through for me today. Got my GS BBS in this AM (Cathe's November rotation) but work was totally dogged today.

In for half an hour to catch up after taking Fri off. Then off to another site for a stress related work comp return to work. UGH! Went OK - am hoping my employee (a manager) is up to the changes we have made at that site. Shook up the management team last summer and he was having a hard time adjusting. We will see.

Then back at work mid afternoon and then all of a sudden it was 5 PM. May have to go back to the other site tomorrow. Oh well . . . I need a little time to do MY WORK ya know?

Wendy - good to hear your dinner went well and you are feeling a bit better. Meatballs on tap for tonight and then meatball sandwiches later in the week. Kinda italian like your meal, except I'll use spaghetti squash for my spaghetti tonight.

Laura - Dang so sorry for DH and his sickies not going away ! Maybe some homemade chicken noodle soup is in order? Works everytime for me. Yesthe fires are horrible here in CA this year. I thought summer was bad and now they are starting all over again. Not quite as windy the past two days which helps at least. Hope class went well for you.

Bummer about the game this weekend. Maybe they'll pull it off this coming weekend. Will be cheering for you !

Diana - sleeping in and resting is the only answer when you just aren't feeling energetic. 3 - 4 workouts a week, especially weights is fine and you have been getting cardio in there too ! During these days of extra germs running around, rest is necessary to ward off the evil bugs ! Hope your class was fun and didn't drain you too much.

Dee Dee, Shirl and Jen - hope all is well with you !

Didn't get quite as much accomplished as I had hoped, but got my little pup her schnauzer hair cut cuz she was just sweating too much ! With the warm weather this week it will be good and not too much of a shock to her system without her extra inch of fuzzy hair she has been sporting. No painting yet, but will probably get started sometime this week after work. (Reason for making dinners ahead of time!).

Off to make meatballs and watch my Sharks. May be a little late getting here tomorrow too, but know that my workout will be done before work, GS Legs, and I'll be thinking of all of you with good vibes being sent in your directions!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Laura: Vertigo? Not fun! I suffer from vertigo. It can be a real pain in the you know what. Hope your class went okay and that you didn't push yourself too hard.

Diana: Good job getting in the leg work today and the class tonight. I don't think you have to worry about sleeping in! Oh I hate when movies are good and then have a crappy ending. Phooey! I still wanna see it though!

Ang: Just wanted to let you know, I read that Lipstick Jungle was cancelled but would continue to air the remaining episodes that have already been filmed until they are done. Sorry!

Sunny, Jen: Hope all is well with you girls!

Jacque: Love meatball sandwiches! I have enough ziti leftover for 2 more meals I think and both DH and DS took some for lunch today! Sorry about the stressful and crazy day at work. Hope the rest of the week is better for ya!

Shirl: I hope you are getting better every day!

So I made it to the pilates class as planned but opted out of any sort of cardio. Tomorrow I plan on doing a little of CTX UB, either B&G or PLB floor work and a run since I have the day off so I'll have plenty of time. I may even get up uber early and knock some of it out before getting Joey off to school.

Have a great night!

Hola girls

Not much going on today as it is a Monday. I did get home and do CST and ARX. It's a good thing I'm too lazy to come up with another rotation.....otherwise I think I would have given up on the X by now.

Diana - Holy crapola! That was one heck of a w/o yesterday. PP in and of itself is enough of a butt kicker for me.
Are you getting the snow your way too? We're supposed to get 6-10 inches by Wednesday evening. It just seems too soon, but at least it should get me in the X-mas spirit right?
I haven't even started planning my remodeling for the inside of the house yet. I'll be tackling that when the boys move out. A wall will need to be knocked out to make our bedroom bigger and eliminate Cody's room. I'll need the time to save the $$ for that project but that will be at least another 6-10 years down the road.
Glad you are starting to feel better.

Wendy - What the heck is ziti??
I hear you about having company over to get the house cleaned. We usually have our annual nascar party in October but skipped out on it this year. That's usually my annual "I gotta clean my house" time.
Oh crap about LJ. I like Kim Raber.....I think she is georgeous.....liked her in 3rd Watch too. They always cancel shows I like. I'm still mad that they cancelled Invasion a couple years ago.

Laura - Oh, poor DH. I was hoping the weekend would've been enough to get him back on his feet. I soooo hope you are not getting it. Chug the airborne, water, soup, green tea, etc. Throw the kitchen sink at it!!!
Sorry about your Tigers. There's always next year right?
I went internet shopping for sis this weekend. I finally ordered some powdered makeup on ebay and also ordered some free samples from everydayminerals.com. She's never tried this kind of makeup and I thought it would be a neat X-mas gift. I figured, if she doesn't like it, I'll buy it from her.

Jacque - Meatballs and Sharks huh? Sounds like a good combo to me.
So who are they playin' tonight?
You want some snow???

Hi to Jen, Shirl and DeeDee......hope you girls are all feeling well.

Angie
