Howdy Ladies!

Today's my scheduled rest day, and boy am I glad b/c my body is SORE! Cathe is torture Of course, in a good way. If I sit too long and get stiff the soreness is worse, so I'm trying to move around some. I may stretch later on, but that's it as far as workouts go. Otherwise, it's just busy-ness as usual.

Nicole -- Thanks for asking, school is going well. I'm slacking a bit in history, though, so we've been playing catch up this week and zooming through the books of 1st and 2nd Samuel as our text. Otherwise normal. Nathan had his braces adjusted for the first time on Monday and is a bit sore now, but otherwise ok. He got black and orange bands for Halloween, lol. I hope your DS had a good visit, too. Sorry to hear about your sciatic nerve I hope it starts feeling better soon. Sorry also about your DH's grandma Thoughts and prayers for your family!

Sandra -- LOL, I get quad DOMS at the drop of a hat!! I'm not quite sure why, as I've always had good muscle tone there... Oh, well. They're on fire today!

Swifty -- I also hate rush hour driving, so I schedule my appts in the early/mid afternoon so I can avoid as much of it as possible. ARGH. At least I'm familiar with Philly, so that's helpful. I also love S&H, I get great strength gains using it

Debra -- I share your love/hate relationship of B&G. It's torture, but in a good way, lol. Glad to hear you're loving the new mattress! Good luck telling your DD about your DH situation. I hope she takes it as well as possible.

Wendy -- LOL that you use toilet paper to blow your nose, too! I hope you're feeling better soon!

Laurie -- OUCH! I hope your finger heals soon and you don't lose the nail!

Hi to everyone else! I hope you all have a great day!

Hello!

This morning I did SH Biceps & abs, CTX 10-10-10 (including triceps). There's a point in SH biceps, when she's waiting to start the 2nd round of barbell curls, where she says "I'm looking for the best place to start....And I think it's right here." There's something about the second half of that phrase that tickles me, and I always say it aloud, along with her.

I hashed together next week's rotation and it looks like this:
TS = Body Blast Time Saver dvd.

MON: SH Chest; TS#2 (incl. back, core) = 67mins
TUES: SH Legs; TS#4 (incl. shoulders) = 73mins
WEDS: SH Triceps; TS#3 (incl. biceps, core) = 68mins
THURS: SH Shoulders; TS#5-Legs (incl. core) = 79mins
FRI: SH Biceps & abs; TS#1 (incl. chest & triceps) = 68mins
SAT: SH Back & planks; BodyMax2 Power Circuits, abs = 80mins
SUN: rest

Tracy - how do you handle it when the parents act so terrible? Do you remain cool and professional, or take offense? I'm glad you enjoyed SB last night. I always have a blast with that one, too. I hope she gets around to making another all step workout like that, as she said she would try to do. It might take a couple years for them to get around to it though...

Traci - Ooooh, is Wendell a good masseuse? I don't blame you for skipping the PT sessions, if you spend 2 hours a day just going to and fro. I just saw the blog update. Looks like you have about 2.5 weeks to get that shoulder ready for the new workouts!!!! If it's not well by then, don't feel bad. I got the Hardcore series when I was 3 months pregnant, and had to wait an entire year before using most of them.

Wendy - my you're doing well for someone who is so sick. I'm still snivelling and coughing a bit from my cold, but 2 teaspoons of cough syrup first thing in the morning picks me up real good. Is there a forum for SAHMs addicted to cough syrup? I'm getting a bit alarmed to see my cold going away. Thanks for the Thailand taxi warning. I wasn't worried about my parents a bit...until now!!! Please, tell me more about what could happen to them!!

Anointed - Ooooh, back to the X, huh? I'm getting an itch to do that, too, but I'm pretty sure that would be suicide for my elbow. Maybe by January 1 I'll be ready to go. Oooooh, my dentist suggested I get a crown on my tooth, and it's CRAZY expensive!! Me no likey to pay that much money for a small piece of porcelain. Or whatever the heck it is.

Debra - I'm glad the new mattress felt so nice. Make sure you point it out to XDH when you see him }( .

Jeanette - Ah, you didn't choose the pink golf bag yourself. That makes more sense! I was wondering whether you would paint a daisy on the side? Enjoy your golf lesson tonight!

Laurie - OUCH!!!!! I hate pinching my fingers. CoreSyn isn't all that bad. It just seemed too intense for a recovery week, though. And I loathed the chataranga runs. Turns out, Shiva does something like them in one of her Creative Core Abs }(

Jeepers, look at the time!! I have to go pick up DD from the bus stop. Have a great day!! HELLO to everyone I missed! :* :* :* :* :* :* :*

Okay...back for some chatting...Didn't finish my whole pilates workout today as I was interrupted by XDH's drama...I had a couple of things I had to do this afternoon...so I will probably just tack the rest of it onto my workout tomorrow...

personals....

Teddygirl...Thanks for the compliments on DD...I think she is a keeper, too! I am glad that you will be spending some extra time with Ted...it sounds like you guys should be together.

Jeanette...Sounds like you got a nice cardio workout in this morning. And golf again! Are you going to give your bikes away?? Just kidding! Yes, PT is short for physical therapist assistant. I always think of Robert Redford in the "Horse Whisperer" when cowboys are mentioned. Or the guys from "Brokeback Mountain" LOL!

Laurie...Poor finger! Ouchie! Glad DD is finding her niche in HS...that can be hard sometimes, but it sounds like she is adjusting well. I never used to have to answer the phone when MIL called...but now I don't really have a choice...LOL! I will call her back this weekend...or maybe some evening after I have had a couple of cocktails to take the edge off!

Lea...Waving as you limp by...Hope potty time isn't too painful!!

Traci...Thanks for being concerned about my $$$. XDH can't access but so much at a time since he is in Russia and we have a limit as to how much you can take out of the ATM per day...and I keep a pretty close watch on our balance...I am also in control of all the finances...as long as he keeps sending me the same amount each month from his pay I will be fine. He was actually very appreciative of all the help I am giving with DD since he's not going to come to the States until after Xmas. LOL....When I read icing in your post, I thought of cake icing as opposed to actual ice...Maybe Wendell can lick the icing off your shoulder in some Eion type way!

BBL to finish up!

Okay...back to finish up today's personals....

Nicole...Sorry to hear about DG...It's difficult when things go so quickly. Hope you got some time in with Eion today. Also hope your back is feeling better...just sending you hugs for all around.

Amy...It was me with the comment the lawn would be there...because if your good fairies are anything like mine, they are never around when you need them! Sorry your sleep was interrupted...but I guess it must be hard with your work schedule to maintain normal sleep patterns.

Carol...It's nice to have those DOMS...but not so fun at the same time! I think my DD has a good idea what is going on between XDH and me...she just hasn't been told out right. Enjoy that rest day...you deserve it after BG!

Sandra...Hi there smiley! I like that part in SH bis, too! Your next week looks great as well. How are you liking your rotation so far? I know you are done with your last cake decorating class...do you have another starting soon?

Swifty...Where are you??

Tracy...Hope your workday was uneventful!

Okay....that about does it for this evening...Hope everyone is doing well. DD and I are going to the local fair tomorrow afternoon...should be filled with unhealthy food and rides fast enough to make you puke...Good Times!

Sorry girls that I haven't been able to get back today. I was over at my in-laws to see my grandma but at this point she is completely incoherent. She is just mumbling and fidgeting. It makes me even happier that I saw her yesterday and got hugs and kisses. I have to get dinner going and clean up a bit before DH gets home.

I'll talk to you all tomorrow,

Nicole

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

Good evening,
Golf class was good tonite. We practiced various skills and then hit the course. We played best ball and went as a foursome (2 teams). It was really fun and I did okay and landed a good long putt. Evening started out cold and spitting rain, but quickly calmed down and ended up being pretty nice. Oh yeah, I made friends with the lady that I chewed out the other night. We started all over, I introduced myself, she did the same, and we had a nice time golfing together. She admitted that she was wrong to be so mouthy. She was pretty pleasant tonite. I'm glad it ended that way. Those kinds of things bother me. In fact, I may ask her to join me soon to play again. We are predicted to have snow to the valley floor by tomorrow morning. We'll see. I have to watch my grandma this weekend, but am hoping to get out a couple of times for a bike ride and short golf game if possible.

Anointed, I live in northeastern California, high desert country. We are on the edge of the desert and edge of the forest. The elevation is about 4,200' here so we get snow. I thought about you today before I went on my walk. Hope you enjoyed yours. I really enjoyed mine. I'm all about compromise in a relationship. DH has hobbies/activities he likes to do alone. I have hobbies/activities I do away from him and then we have hobbies/activities that we do together. Works for us, as long as I make sure we plan to have time together.

Laurie, sorry about the pinched finger. Ouch!!! That blackened toenail I got from dropping the car trailer ramp on my toe is still black. I'm getting used to the pink bag. Heard some comments on it again from my golfing teammates. I just laugh. I grew up with 3 other sisters and a brother. We fought all the time, lots of pinching, pulling hair, teasing, all the time. Don't know how my mom could stand it. Yes, we got over stuff pretty quickly. Faster than the scabs went away. Be careful with that "L" finger.

Lea, hi to you! If I did Plyo Legs now, I'd probably be dying. Hope your day is going okay.

Traci, is the pain better in your shoulder? Hate to see you hurting. Any new requests for you as a personal trainer? Can you train someone without using your shoulder?

Nicole, (((hugs))) to you. So glad you could be with your Grandma while she was clear. You will always remember that. Know the upcoming days will be tough on everyone. She is probably not in pain.

Amy, is Fantastic Four out on DVD yet? I used to love the cartoon. How is the new book on lifting?

Debra, what a shocker that XDH will not be coming home soon. How does DH feel about that? Know you will handle telling your DD in the right way. No, I don't plan on giving my bikes away, selling them maybe.... just kidding. I'm hoping to get a group ride in on Sunday. I am itching to ride as I haven't gotten to at all since last week. Oh, I sure wish I was retired and could spend the time pursuing my hobbies. LOL re: cowboys and Brokeback Mountain. We laughed at my Dad. He had no idea what it was about and wanted to get the movie because of the scenery he saw in a commercial about it. We clued him in and he about gagged. Have a great time at the fair! You are making me yearn for Kettle Korn.

Sandra, LOL about being addicted to the cough medicine. I can't hardly swallow it myself. I used to be able to drink Nyquil. Well, to save money, a long time ago, I bought a Walmart brand of Nyquil called Equate. I could not, and I kept on trying, swallow a spoonful of that crap for the life of me. Then when I bought Nyquil again, I couldn't swallow that either. I'm glad they make it in pill form now. I can't believe how expensive dental work is. Glad DH and I have good insurance thru the State of California. Of course a dentist doesn't want to pull a bad tooth, that would be like killing the golden goose.
No daisies will be painted on the side of the bag. I think the pink is starting to become a powerful color LOL!

Got to go,

Jeanette
