Hi all,

I had a BLAST last night doing SB. I'm off today.

No time for many personals, except

Nicole - Sorry about your GM. Do you have magically hips? That really helped my sciatic, which mine was inflammed from the disc, but also the hip was tight and pulling down on the nerve (and the hip is still tighter than the other). I did that almost daily for a while and still do it a couple of times a week.

Tracy
 
Tracy: You must be feeling better after your verbal beating yesterday! LOL on your BLAST! {{{{{{huggers}}}}}}} for an uneventful boring day!! ;-)

Nicole: OMG I am so sorry about Gramma! My heart aches for you guys... its so hard finding out this way. I am praying for a quick and painless transition. Blessings to you guys.... ~ On the back... I have said all I can say about that- Will continue sending you healing vibes and also sending a new set of ears so you'll heed all the advice ;-) You KNOW we aren't all trying to be P.I.T.A. - we just care. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{huggers to you my friend for ALL you are going thru}}}}}}}}}}}

Debra: Overall a good day yesterday! Yeah!!! Should we be concerned about DH's temper and finding out about attorney? Just a few comments you've made- I am so sensitive to this area as both my sisters were involved for years with explosive men... Sorry if I'm over stepping but if YOU are worried then ya gotta trust your gut and have these "meetings" publicly and be on alert at the house at night. I know I sound like a Lifetime TV Movie but bad things do happen. {{{{{{{{{{{{huggers}}}}}}}}}}}}

I'm sure there are more huggers to give out today but I havent read that far - so lets all stand together and give a {{{{{{{big squeeze}}}}}}}}} ..... I shall return in a bit
 
Hi all!

Just wanted to pop on quick and send out some {{{{{{hugs}}}}} to Nicole....so sorry to her that GM is going downhill so fast. I didn't realize she has Alzheimer's too...My dad passed away about 3 years ago from Alzheimer's related illnesses. I am so sorry your family is having to go through this. I know it is tough on all of you. Also...take care of that back! Listen to Traci!

Okay...back in a bit to catch up with those I missed yesterday and the early posters this morning.

Week 2/Day 11/ Yoga/ Round 2

Good Morning Ladies,

S&A and some of ARX Done! Started late at night. Did alright. Nothing to write home about...

Feeling better today. Sleeping too long seems to cause more congestion. When Phil turned on the bedroom light this morning, I couldn't fall back to sleep. Tossed and turned for a bit before starting my day.

Just realized... I've gone through three Northern Double Rolls just from blowing my nose and hacking up nasty looking stuff.

Car should be finished today. Hopefully, it will be finished in time for power heated yoga.

Nicole-X: HUGS!!!!!!!!!!! It's heartbreaking to watch someone you love suffer. The hospice nurse was so good at explaining the dying process. She said that the person doesn't feel pain; even though it may look or sound painful. It didn't help much though. In my mind, I understood. But, it's just so sad! {{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}}

I'll have to catch up on personals later. My eyes are itchy and watery. I need some drugs and a neti-pot flush.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy

Wendell said he’d do the lousy massage 2x a week as long as I was faithful to the homework… I think the initial sessions were helpful but I have really gotten all I can get at this point. I’ll still follow the no lifting rule til after vacation but then I’m doing what I feel my body is up to. (HOW DO YOU ALWAYS KNOW!!) [/i][font/ book antiqua]

Rotation: MIS/week IV
Am: 30 minutes jog & MIS upper body/completed
Pm: walk & abs

Good morning everyone:)

I was in and out of the dentist yesterday, only waited 30 minutes to see him and in less then 30 minutes was done. He said he’ll see me in a few weeks, I'm getting my tooth capped argh$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I got home around 6ish and was in bed by 8ish, got a good sleep even tho, I woke up several times. Here's the deal, I'm going to change my workout and routines a bit this is going to be the last week for MIS moving on to Slow & Heavy & P90X;)

While at the dentist I put together a rotation that would allow me to have my evening FREE:) I wont be doing Am and Pm workout as much, maybe one or two a week if that. This morning, I started TM at 5:15 gave me enough time to push out a 30 minute run and enough time to complete MIS upper body, and I'm was done.

Because the weather is going to be so wonderful today, I figure I get in a hour walk just to suck up the the good weather we are going to have this week:7 Going to be upper 80's all this week, and I'm loving that.

Nicole: I'm so sorry about your Grandma. I just spent up a prayer for her. I tell you, if it isn’t one thing, its, two and sometimes three. I believe prayer changes things, that all we got. Take Care :) I'll check back shortly
 
Okay...back again...Need to give you guys a report on my new mattress...It was lovely! I actually went to bed late and got up early...but while in bed, slept well. I think I am going to do pilates today...then I have a couple of errands to run...also have to get my college transcripts sent. I have a meeting with the director of the PT curriculum in 2 weeks and he is going to help me figure out what will transfer and what I need to take for prerequisites....and hopefully just point me in the right direction.

onto personals....

Nicole...Again I say..take it easy on your back! Listen to the 2 Traci/ys...I agree that magically hips can really help open up those places that you seem to need stretched...just don't go too far! More {{{hugs}}} for GM, too. DD is excited to see her dad...but I have to tell you he's only going to see her for a total of about 12 hours this trip...He's not coming into town until Sunday, and of course, she goes to school on Monday and Tuesday and then he heads out on Wednesday...Oh, well...He probably won't be back until after Christmas.

Swifty...Got a kick out of YKW! I am glad at least he is not a stalker like your ex! He is actually in retail...He is the director of sales for a company based in Russia..but which is kind of like Best Buy here. He does travel all over Russia...but no intrigue! His apartment is within walking distance of the Kremlin, though. Hope that bruise continues to heal. My mom fell last year and she had her bruise for about 6 months...Hopefully yours will heal quicker!

Tracy...So sorry your meeting was so rough yesterday. These kids are in public school? Or did I miss somehow that you work for a private school...I may have just assumed it was public. It can't be easy to deal with emotional parents all the time. Good you do all that yoga to let it go a bit.

Jeanette....Glad you guys had a good time with your friend. It is always interesting to me that people are still real cowboys...I imagine that it must be something they just love to do. I am such a city girl, I guess...not a lot of cowboys in Chicago!

Traci...XDH has never been physically abusive...only verbally...but he has a nasty temper..which is one of the reasons I decided I just couldn't live with him any longer. Right now he is being really good about the financial end of our relationship, but I am afraid that once he knows I have visited an attorney that he will get nasty. I was telling my therapist about all of this the other day since I just couldn't decide when to tell XDH...and she said, "I know I am supposed to help you work this out for yourself, but I don't think you should tell him about the attorney until he gets back to Russia." I actually got a real kick out of that! In-law situation is fine...I actually haven't spoken to MIL for a while, but her message last night was very supportive. XDH and his brother are estranged, so no worries there. So, are you doing LIC as produced today...or a shortened version? I feel like lecturing you about the PT...Is there not a PT closer to you guys so that you don't have to drive an hour each way??? You may be able to benefit by seeing someone different, too, if you feel you got all you could out of the person you were seeing. Or maybe even a massage therapist who is clincally trained. Just a thought...you can tell me to shut up now.

Wendy...Sending some more healing vibes your way...sounds like you need them! Was Phil as sick as you? It sounds like he really gave you a terrible bug...darn men and their germs...LOL!

Okay...I caught up with everyone else last night, I think...so I am off to workout for a bit!

Teddygirl...You snuck in! I know those dentist bills must be piling up!!! Poor woman! I am sure you will see plenty of good results by changing your workout routine up a bit. Your body will probably like the change. Glad you slept a lot last night...Have fun at work today....Seeing Ted tonight??

Debra: What's up gorgeous:D Yep, me needing a change but as always I got some pretty good results from MIS I love this workout. Another plan that I didn’t mention is leg work, I’m going to work legs heavy and hard only once a week. Glad to hear all is well in Debbie land. How’s your daughter doing? She is so cute, I love looking at her pictures her smile is to die for. Enjoy your day. :)
 
Good morning,
Today was LIC Cardio Timesaver Premix, then one combo from Christi Taylor's Totally Hot Step. Tonite is golf class.

Tracy, enjoy your day off today!!! What will you be doing with that free time?

Traci, glad you got the washer repaired. Thank God for modern appliances. Those really weren't the good old days when women used wringer machines or scrubbed their clothes on a rock. Glad you are back in business today.

Wendy, this cold you have is a doozy. Mine are like that when I get them too, though I usually have tons of coughing along with it. Phlegm, yuk!

Anointed, so glad the dentist visit worked out well and is behind you, at least until the crown is glued on. Will be nice for you to not have to do a workout in the evening. We only have one TV so I don't want to take the TV time away from him. Let's face it, I just don't want to work out again. Enjoy the weather. I wanted to get out to walk yesterday afternoon for my lunch break, but people kept coming in for different things at work and I missed out. Not today, I'm going for sure!

Debra, so glad the mattress felt good to you. Exciting for you to start the PT career? I take it PT is short for Physical Therapy? Yes, our friend is a real cowboy. His wife does bookkeeping in town, but he has always done ranch work. His dad was the same way. I think he sometimes regrets not having a real retirement plan to look forward, different things, but really, he was born to be in the saddle. He is a really good hand with horses and taught me a lot when I had mine. He's about 62 now and every couple of years buys a new colt to start and bring along to the well-trained stage.

Got to run,

Jeanette
 
Morning Xers,

Rotation: LGI8 Recovery Week P90X
Workout: XStretch

Yesterday I pinched a finger between two weights. Now I have a lovely black fingernail. Hurts somewhat to type. Only hurts when I hit the L key with the tip of my nail. x( But I will survive.

Oldest DD has a Xcountry meet today, and then has a relay race tomorrow that is during the school day. Of course they will be back for the Homecoming Parade. :) HS has been a lot of fun for her so far. She went to the powder puff game last night.

Nicole, {{{{HUGS}}}} to you and your family. It is very hard to see someone going through something like this. I still remember my GF, and how he was lucid for one day. I was 19 yr old at the time, so the memory stays with you. I will probably have all my family coming for my DD's confirmation. I have 6 brothers and sisters, that are all married with children. I think that we have topped out at 27 altogether. But I love having my B&S's around. We are a loud bunch also.

Traci, That was a great article on the triceps. Guess I could use help in this area also. I just happened to notice that Cathe answered that same question yesterday. Thanks for the info on the push-up bars. I have been wanting to get some bars, and I saw this commercial. Now I want them even more knowing that the rotation factor gives even more benefit. ;-) Glad the W/D is fixed. I love how they give you times, but never seem to be there when they say. LOL at the Eoin Quickie. My mind is in the gutter today!

Jeanette, Glad to hear that your friend is doing good with his injury. Your golf game did sound like a lot of fun with the guys. Love the fact that you have a pink golf bag. My oldest had to wear pink on Tuesday (for this homecoming thing) I asked if it was for breast cancer awareness, and apparently their class color is pink!!!! WTH! Have to ask her if the guys in her class where wearing pink on that day. :7 :7

Wendy, I think that having 3 sisters help me a lot. Don't get me wrong we had fights, but you sure got over them fast. :D Otherwise you ended up with no covers during a winter night. :D Have fun with your heated Yoga today. That virus you have sounds just like the one I had. I couldn't workout a couple of times because I couldn't breath. Had to have a cough drop in my mouth when working out also. Let me know if you want the Word file that I sent to Jeanette for the LGI8.

Lea, I have to get Plyo Legs, that one sounds like a great workout.

Amy, 30lb skull crushes! My oh my! If we all start working our triceps to get them looking good we can be the Xers without flappy arms! :D

Tracy, Oh what a meeting you had. This is only the start of the school year. I'm going to send you a big {{{{HUG}}}} also. Glad SB was fun, and have a great day off. I think you deserve a day off.

Debra, Sounds like your yoga class was a good one. If I had caller ID only my phone I wouldn't answer when my MIL calls. :D I would rather my DH deal with anything pertaining to my MIL. I have been bit one to many times by her. So no I don't think it makes you a bad person. Otherwise I'm really really bad. :D Glad you had a wonderful sleep on your new mattress.

Sandra, I can't say that I like Core Syn, but it really does work the core good. :) I am looking at other workouts that I can work into a recovery type rotation also. The couple I have from Kimerbly Spreen (Amplify Your Strength and Progressive Strengh) might fit the bill.

TG, Wow your GF was 106. You do have some great genes in your family. It is hard when you need to make a change in your workouts. But if you don't you probably will not make progress.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Jeanette: LIC nice work:) Where do you live? if you don’t mind me asking, I live in Ohio. Our weather is ((SUPPOSE)) to be beautiful today, actually the rest of the week. I figured what the heck go for it, I do love walking tho, eases my pains.

I really do like evening workouts, but since Ted is back home, need to put more time in with him. I already told him we can sit down to eat together, maybe 2 to 3 times a week, don’t mess with me you know what I do}( I decided that I really need to free up a few days for him. Enjoy your day:)
 
Laurie: You snuck in there :) Yep, should change our workout routines, what is it, bout every 2 to 3 weeks? I'm even going to add BBC, imagine that, after reading review on OD board, why not, I should at least can try them, my goodness :+ I’m impress with Amy as well, 30 lbers I use a 25 BB. Take Care!
 
Hi gals. Did Power 90 Plyo legs this morning, and I cannot walk. I am so out of shape. I remember when it use to be easy. Jeeze.

No time for personals right now. I just want to send Nicole a big huge (((HUG)))) for you and your family. What a painful thing to have to watch. Thank goodness you found out though. She has loving family to be around her in her time of need. It is special that she told you that in her alzheimer's state. I remember right before my grandma passed away she had a moment of clarity and called me by my name and told me she loved me. It was beautiful. Take care of yourself.

Lea
 
Yoga – Eoin Quickie Done (actually very little you can do without doing shoulders.. scratch that idea for awhile) + LIC pending + StretchMax pending + decided to add GS Floor in for today…

Nicole

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

Sorry, gals, I missed "morning" by 9 minutes:p

Anyway, had a rough night....was wide awake from 03-0530 this morning. Got caught up on a good show..."Dallas Swat" that DH had recorded. Then was woken up by the door bell.....I don't mind, it was the book I had ordered from Amazon...."The New Rules of Lifting" (original version). I have the one for women pre-ordered, but that doesn't get released until December.

Traci- I am so glad that your washer is fixed. I though about you last night when I started a couple of loads! I wish you lived closer, you'd be more than welcome to use my washer!!!

Nicole- I am so sorry about your grandmother! I am glad, though, that you were able to see her on a lucid day when she was able to talk to "you" and not a stranger. I am sorry that she has cancer, as well. I keep trying to get my DH to spend more time with his grandparents before they go, as well.

Tracy- I am sorry about your meeting yesterday. I would have a really hard time with that job! I am sure that the parents are angry because they have a guilt factor that they haven't worked through abou their son, although, that's no excuse for taking it out on you!

TG- Great job on pumping out the workout so early....I was still away when you got up for the day, but went back to sleep! I am sorry about the tooth issues! My younger brother grew up with HORRIBLE teeth and was always at the either the dentist or the orthodontist!

Debra- I am glad that the attorney meeting went well. I am sorry about XDH. I hope that you are still able to maintain a good relationship with MIL for your daughter's sake! Have fun with yoga/pilates today! Congratulations on the new mattress, too! I'm glad the 'test run' last night was good!;-)

Laurie- Sorry about the pinched nail. I hope that it heals fast! Good luck with DD and her Xcountry meet today!!!

Wendy- I hope that you get seen....if your hacking up yuck, you may have bronchitis and need antibiotics! Healing vibes......!!!!!!

Jeanette- More golf! Wow! We have a great golf course here on the Navy Base.

I think that's about it for me. I have an elliptical HIIT session on the books, then grocery shopping. DH is going to want the new Fantastic Four movie:7 .

Oh, thanks for the comment, whoever said it, about the lawn being there when I get to it! Yes!!!
 
Don't have time for personals now as I have to go get DD in a few minutes...but you guys are not going to believe this....XDH is not coming home as planned after all. His boss canceled the trip. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this...I hope DD isn't too disappointed, but on the other hand, I am kind of glad I don't have to see him...We were supposed to tell DD on Sunday about our separation...and he said he wanted to wait until he comes to the States in December, but I said no way! So we are going to talk to her together on the phone...yuck...but at least I will be around all weekend to fill up her time a bit. Anyway...thought you guys would want to catch up on the soap opera of my life!

I will bbl for today's personals....

Debra
