Xers...........Monday Magic!!!!!!!!

Good Evening Ladies,

Chest and Back and ARX is DONE!!!!! Amy-X, you're right I HATE ARX so much that I block it out of my mind. Then I realize that it's at the end of each weight workout. So sad!

I didn't do as well as last week. Chalking it up to being sick and tired. However, I did better than I thought I would; even took the pounds up for lawnmower and heavy pants.

It's been a typical chaotic Monday. Took the girls to Staples to get copies made. (Darn Vista doesn't want to play nice with my printer's scanner feature!) From there we went to music lessons. Well...

I drove the entire 10 miles with my emergency breaks on!!!!x(

After I dropped them off, I went to the post office to mail off our Visa applications and documents. Took FOREVER! I would definitely go postal working there!!!!

The entire time I drove around my breaks were grinding loudly. So, now I don't have a car till Thursday at the earliest.;(

On a happier note, I missed a remote call from an acquaintance I met over the Internet YEARS ago. Every once in awhile she calls and thinks I have ALL day to chat about people I don't know and other crazy stuff. I really think she's mental!!!!!!! (And that's being generous!) Anyhow, Phil came home early from work and ended up talking to her for 30 minutes! This is the same man who spoke maybe 10 words on our first date! (Yes, I make him nervous, but that's beside the point.) Poor Phil. That's what he gets for playing hookie!!!:p :7

Enough of my mental chatter... Let's see what everyone else has been up to today!

Personals:) :) :) :) :)

Amy-X I am so with you on gold shoes! Not my cup of tea either. But, it doesn't make us bad people!;) Brown and aqua is eldest dd's favorite color combination. Too bad we didn't live closer, I would have done my gf duty and went shopping with you. Because that's what friends are for! To help you avoid fashion faux pas while laughing at you trying on ill fitting, ugly clothes till you get it finally find the right one!:+ Yoga sounds so good right now! If I wasn't too lazy, I'd do a little magical hips before bed. Hopefully, the car will be fixed before Thursday's yoga class. Thanks for the wellness vibes. I feel the love!:*

TG: LOL on flexing... You must like what you see! Now get to work before you see some flabby lady staring back at you!:p;) Honestly, your upper body probably needed the rest. I notice after lifting heavy and then doing some easy weights or (gasp) no weights, my body looks better than ever!!!! I believe my body tends to put on weight (either in fat/lactic acid/ God only knows what) when I'm working hard; be it high intensity cardio or heavy weights. When I rest, I get that sleek, defined look. When Teddy Ted is finished with your carpets, please send him over here. My living room could use a good cleaning!;-)

Traci-X Oooo, I feel for you. Too bad you can't put an motion sensor on your arm every time you roll over on it during the night. That arm is like a baby!!!! Gotta wake up every three hours and nurse the darn thing!!!:+ Are you making your client carry all the weights from your car. Tell her it's functional fitness.:7 OMW! Public laundry mats are scary places!!!!!!!!!!! Do whatever you have to do to get it fixed, Ms. Love Machine!:+ That's not a bad idea. The girls have started blowing me kisses in a poor attempt to avoid my germs. Silly girls! Haven't I taught them anything!!!! I tried that already with Phil!:7

Nicole-X It seems like your back gets out of alignment quite often. Is this something you get when lifting heavy or no matter what you do? Hopefully, the chiro will get you back up and running without a hitch ASAP. Now! Will you just STOP! You and Carol can always start NOW!:p Y'all will probably be double Xers before I can restart Round 2 back at the beginning when I get back home! I may have to drag dh kicking and screaming to do the X with me when I get back with atrophied muscles! LOL Yes, mom I'm using my neti pot like a good girl. It doesn't seem to help the constant nose drippage. I know: Ewwwww yuck! Now, who do you think you're talking to? Hmmm? Sickness is not a valid excuse for Phil!:p I take his vow to love me through sickness very seriously!:7 :+

LaurieXX I hope you built up some immunity back in August! This isn't a terrible cold. More like a nuisance that won't go away no matter how much you threaten, beg and bribe!!! You can't get sick anyhow. Your girls' social life needs you too much! I think it's great you were able to do some stress free shopping with a teenager. Gives me hope!:+

JeanetteX Somehow, I can't imagine you with a pink golf bag either. Must be your active, outdoorsy, in touch with nature life style! Campers are tough! Are you projecting your soft side unconsciously? No one forced you to buy pink. Another hundred bucks would have been a justifiable expense for say a golf bag in blue.:7 ;) Oh, I'm just giving you a hard time. Still luv ya!!! Isn't mahogany wood expensive! I once drooled over a magazine picture of a porch made out of it. Simply gorgeous!!!! I'm sure it'll burn nice and long come winter while you're dreaming of new tiling projects.:)

LeaX I understand where you're coming from. That's the main reason I went back on the X. Somehow seeing the rotation in print and having the dvds in my face makes it almost impossible to not push play. I just jumped right in. I knew if I thought about it for more than 24 hours, it wouldn't have happened! LOL

Cheryl How's all the cardio working for you? Do you only have to do a little weights (high rep/low weight) when you hit a plateau?

CAROL IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU REPORTED!!!!! Do I need to come to your house?:p Smart move to avoid injury. I don't even know what an IT band is. I read about it all the time. I'm afraid that once I know what it is, I'll start having problems with it. Ignorance, for me, can really be bliss!:7 ;) Hope all is well in your world!!!

Amy It's 20:41. (I think.) It's wake up time!!!!!:p

TracyX Yeah, I agree. I consider yoga a workout! That doesn't mean much. I consider grocery shopping a workout too! Awesome awesome workout on Sunday! You ROCK!!!! I promise to be careful. Right now, I'm too lazy to walk upstairs. Usually, I do one of one type of chin up or pull up before walking into my room. Then I have to lay down for a good 5 minutes to catch my breath. LOLOLOLOL I must say in my defense, I don't jump up. I hang there and bring myself up.

SandraX Where are you? Hope everything is fine! How has your dd adjusted to school?

DebraX Where are you?!?!?!?!?! Hope everything is fine! How have you adjusted to 1st grade homework?:+

Okay Ladies! I'm off to do something. So weird to have finished my workout so early.:7

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!!!!!
Wendy
 
There she is... Miss America.... Debra! Oh, I'm sorry you had such a roller coaster day. So, you're calling him XDH now. Big step! Less than a week. Will next week be yoga week? Take it easy on yourself! You've got a lot on your plate. Do some kickboxing tomorrow. Maybe that might help. Oh! Nevermind!:p I see you have a massage scheduled for tomorrow.:p Yep, I need to grow up!;-)

:* :* :* :*
Wendy
 
So Debra, I was thinking, both Anointed and Traci are showing lots of definition in there arms by giving them a break for a week and XDH is coming in a week........ are you picking up what I'm putting down?:p After I broke up with an old boyfriend I always wanted to look my absolute best when I saw them again. I know I'm crazy but it always made me feel better. Not a "I want you back" more of a "See what you're missing, jerk!" Ignore me, I'm petty sometimes.
I think the heavy lifting is what's messing with my back:( I love lifting heavy but I don't think my back does. We'll see what the chiro says. Maybe I'll do a Traci:) The new rotation looks good, kind of what I'll be doing this week.

WendyX, Glad Phil takes care of you no matter what. I guess if the crazy girl could get Phil to talk for a half hour you'd have been in deep trouble if she got a hold of you:p Good job using the Neti. I would think it would make it runnier but at least it's clean:) Way to work through your illness! I'm sure you saw my "throwing up clause". It's the only time I'll stop}(

Anointed, Can Ted come over here next?:) You and Wendy have it made with the great guys:D

SwiftyX, Dinner sounds yummy:9 Did DD miss the bus? Have you been nack on the bike since the big accident?}(

TTYL,

Nicole

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Hi all you wonderful ladies,

I had a good time golfing this afternoon. Wish I could say I was pleased with how I did, but I wasn't. If fact, if it weren't for the fact that I was golfing with a priest, I would have said many bad words. He was trying to help me, but he didn't know that I wanted to strangle him!!! That would be bad to do to a priest, wouldn't it? He was just trying to help, and his advice was good. I tell you, golf is a tough, tough game. Soo hard to be consistent, but I do really like it. I bought the golf card where 9 holes costs $7.50. After the college class is over, I may take some lessons. Lord knows I could use them.

Okay, on to personals:

Lea, glad you could pop on to visit. I was checking out your Picture Trail. Your boys are so cute! So you are going to start the X? What have you done to treat your elbow? My priest friend says his elbow bothers him too and always has from golfing. He just takes aspirin. I wore my support today and it helped.

Laurie, sounds like you had a really busy weekend. How old is your DS? I've never heard of Sydney White. I haven't watched many movies lately. Sent the last 2 back to Netflix unwatched. Hoping you don't get that cold back from your DH. I was feeling a bit puny this evening. Came home and took some aspirin and feel fine now. Hoping I don't catch anything.

Wendy, sure hoping that you will feel better. My colds stay around for weeks and weeks, that draining and draining and coughing. When I finally go to the dr., they tell me it's a virus and has to run it's course. Would a netti pot help with that post nasal drip stuff that I always get? Driving with the emergency brakes on? That's something I would/have done. I've also shoved the car into park before while it was running (a couple of times in fact). I'd never tell DH as I wouldn't want to trouble his little mind with such a minor detail. Sorry you got stuck on the phone with that gal from the internet. Did Phil ask why you handed the phone to him when he was done talking to her? My Dad says people that talk all the time have been "vaccinated with a phonograph needle". My DH's crazy mother is like that. I swear you could lay the phone down and go off and go to the bathroom and she'd never know you weren't on the other end. She keeps going and going and going.... Yep, the phonograph needle. I too seem to do better with high reps/lower weights, but of course, I can't keep doing that. Reminds me that I need to check and see if Cathe has an October rotation posted. She didn't as of this morning when I checked. I'm getting used to the pink bag. I think it may help to distract others from how badly I play. Oh yeah, I found the set I bought on the internet from the same company (Golf Headquarters). They had it cheaper by $50 on the website. I emailed them and asked why I had to pay more at the store. I got an email and a phone call this afternoon saying they'd made a mistake and would be mailing me back the difference that I had been overcharged and would also send me a gift card for the inconvenience. Maybe I can buy another colored golf bag?

Anointed, yes, we walked while playing golf today. My DS bought me a really nice pushcart. The priest carried his clubs. With my elbow being ouchy, I don't think I need to carry the clubs too. I like walking the course. Glad that carpet is done. Sounds like he will be busy doing all of our carpets now that he's done with yours! Hey, you keep flexing what you got! You should be proud of yourself! Does Ted like it too? Does he ever give nice comments about your physique?

Nicole, so sorry your back is tweaked. Do you still have the creepy crawly spider feelings in it? You made me laugh out loud that you remembered about GM and her steamy novels. Yes, it will be a relaxing weekend over there. Think I will bring my step again and entertain her. She might like to watch me kickbox too. I'm going to still try to get a bike ride in on Sunday. Mom said that GM is okay being left for that long. So the Neti Pot helps with the colds? I'll keep it in mind.

Traci, sorry for the pain at night. When my DH had his bad right shoulder, it would hurt so bad that he would be moaning and almost crying. Had never heard him do that before so I know it was in bad shape. He had surgery on his right one (torn rotator cuff and bone spurs). That one feels great. His left one is bothering him now. He does better if he sleeps in a more sitting up position. Laying flat kills his shoulder and sleeping on his side hurts too. How was your evening client? Gosh, that sounds like you are a hooker!

Swifty, when I read that you were waiting on the school bus, I thought you were located IN the school bus. I see that's not the case. Silly me. Yes, wood cutting is hard work. No, neither of us use hearing protection when around or running the chainsaw. I think that hearing is gone from all those years working in a sawmill when they didn't require hearing protection. Yes, I have to do all the stacking too, so you really get lots of heat out of it, cutting, stacking, unloading, splitting, stacking, hauling into the house, and then finally burning. Hmmm, would be nice to have an oil heater, but yes, that wood heat is so nice. The shrimp and pasta sound nice. DH BBQ'd salmon for me last night. It was really good. I had some in a salad today and it had that nice mahogany smell as he threw a few small pieces of it on the Weber last night.

Debra, hope the massage is nice tomorrow. Sorry for the stressful day. I can't even imagine what you are going thru, but we are all behind you. Sorry you had to quit RS, but hey, working out should be fun too and if you weren't feeling it, why just go thru the motions?

Must sign off, want to get to bed earlier tonite.

Jeanette
 
Sandra, where are you today? Did you OD on those beautiful cakes? We miss you and hope you are just busy today.

Jeanette
 
I'm still awake!!!! I think it's from all the carbs ::processed baked goods:: I ate tonight. I won't even tell you what they were. Baaaaad!!! Of course, I blame dh! He had to take his work van to the grocery store since my brakes are GONE! I'm banking on losing some serious weight in the jungle!:7

Jeanette: My, you are in high spirits tonight! Hope you were able to get to bed early!!! Yes, get a neti-pot. I think they work great for post nasal drip and thick mucus and allergies! LOL on using your pink bag to blind spectators!!! Ooooo, did you tell your dh about the $50.00 refund? By all means, use it for another golf bag! Because, you know in a year or so, you'll be wanting better clubs to put in your extra bag for all your future tournaments.:D SEE!!!! You're already thinking of private lessons!!!! Yep! Golf is a very affordable sport.;) ;) ;) LOLOLOL on not mentioning car malfunctions to your dh. Phil was perplexed as to why my brakes were burned away since it was only one incident. Uh, yeah... Me too!;)}:)7

Well ladies, I have to finally share this Cathe moment I had planned for y'all. After the body sculpt class I actually had the nerve, more like gall, to ask her to pose for a picture for you guys while holding a sign specially made by dd's art teacher that read:
[font size =+1 font color = red] Cathe LOVES her Xers!!![/font]

What do you think she did and said? Without batting an eye, she said, "Sure, I think they (meaning y'all) would love it!" Don't you just LOVE her!!!! Anyhow, I had the sign back at the hotel room. I couldn't do it that night or the next day. I couldn't make her go through with it.

Just wanted to let y'all know what a mental case you've got on your hands. }(

Oh, BTW, speaking of mental people. Or should I say, people who are considered mental.... Let me clarify... I wasn't home when said mental patient with unlimited minutes called. Phil innocently answered the phone and said, "Hi." He never got the chance to ask any questions. I think he spoke less than 10 words too.:7 I'm so glad it was him and not me!!!! My dc already know said woman's voice. They would rather silently suffer a lifetime of timeout than to accidentally hand me the phone when she calls!!!!:7 I guess I HAVE taught them something. NO! Not lie!!!! Fear maybe. LOL They just say that I'm busy and to call back in a bit. Then we screen our calls over the next 48 hours! I know I'm so BAD! So, if I ever call your house and am told to call back in a bit, then I'll really know how you feel about me!:p :7 ;)

Sweet Dreams!
Wendy
