Good Morning Slept in a bit before Upper Elite class..Arms and shoulders are screaming. Def going to add a stretch class later..Off to enjoy my last day off for the week, have a stellar day all

Back from a day of leisure.. Nice relaxing day til this evening when I tried playing my Stretch DVD and it wouldn't work.. It actually froze up on me this morning but I didn't think anything of it.. I tried a few other DVD's and it wouldn't play either so I am assuming it is the portable player..I saved the box with the store's tag so I am going to exchange it, they should, I just got it 2 months ago..I am just hoping that my laptop will cooperate with my DVD tomorrow morning(it is so temperamental, most of my DVD's won't play if they are worn)

I am going to see if I can work some magic on the portable after dinner..Good Evening!

Screaming arms and shoulders is good, unless they are screaming way too loud. Have an awesome day, V!

No idea what we are doing for christmas. Stepdaughter's family on the other side of the country will be with her mum xmas day, so we'll probably see them just before or after. Might spend the day with friends.

Well laundry awaits so I better hop to it..Hoping you all have a happy healthy start to your week

 I forgot today was a holiday and man was it packed at the laundry today.. There was only one washer available so I had to make it work cause I def wasn't going to wait around and there was no way I would have came back later...LOL

Got my meals for the week made, prepped bagged and tagged, watched a movie, and just completed Ab Shredder..  Good Evening all!

Thanks for the kind words on Friday... it's also good to know that there are other people out there that hate their job as well. It's always just so frustrating. But I like you, know that we can pull through these difficult times. I'm sure that once I start feeling like I look better, I'll be more confident in my appearance and everything will just go from there.

Great job on your workout!! Have a great day today!

Yes, I'm very lucky to have a husband who enjoys cooking and it good at it! He's not a typical Scot as Scotland is always ranked as the unhealthiest diet in Europe. !

Yes, I've read the whole series of Outlander and listened to some on audiobook. Awaiting the last/next to last book coming out next year.

Good Morning I saved my scheduled Stretch class for this evening so I could do the 25 minute tutorial..I wanted to practice for tomorrow's Fit Test.. I think Shaun T is evil for throwing this in at the end of the hour long class but it does help with mental focus as well as pushing my personal fitness goals..Each time I want to add at least one more round..

Man it was downright chilly this morning, I had to turn on the heat for a bit..It was in the 40's but the sun is up it's 58 degrees..It is supposed to get up to the 70's today, first time this week.. I am sure it will be a busy day..Off to prep for work, happy Friday all

Back from another busy day..The girl who normally works with me is in Vegas and I had the misfortune of working with one of the biggest wonderslugs on the planet.. I just don't understand people who settle for halfassness. It's redonkulous!  I was a bit thankful when she got a "call" and had to leave early..  At least I got to keep the rest of my hard earned dough instead of splitting with that yahoo..LOL  I completed my stretch class and I am going to wind down and hit the hay early.. Good Evening!

B- Almond Breeze shake with whey protein, 1/2 banana, natural pb and strawberries

S- Mixed nuts

D- Broiled chicken breast. Corn. Cucumber and Roma Tomato with oregano, parm, evoo and red wine vin..

This is the Fit Test featuring my friend Danielle who is also a cast member of Asylum 2 as well as master trainer for Shaun T fitness..She's got mad Agility skills and a great vertical leap!!

No sign up sheet for the spin bike in the gym (and we can't use the ones for the class which are in a different bldg). Most of the gym users go on the regular bikes but there are a few of us who use the spin bike. Most of the time no one is on it when I arrive.

Good Morning I actually woke up before my alarm went off and still played the snooze button game 2 times, LOL... I guess the good thing about the time change is I am usually wide awake by 6..Completed   Back and 6 pack class with plenty of time to spare.

Temps are still a tad bit chilly but it is alot sunnier than yesterday so hopefully it will be another good day on the beach. Well I better keep it moving, chat with you all later. Have a stellar day all

Despite the chilly breeze, the weather was perfect today.. Most of my customers were from up north so they were just happy to be able to sit outside and catch some rays..  Feeling a tad bit sore in the obliques, I added a Relief class this evening. Now they are not screaming as loud..LOL

Off to see how you all are and get some fuel, extra hungry, didn't get much time to eat my lunch.. Good Evening!

Haha... the time change is affecting me a bit as well, I fall asleep early as it is (which is a new development that my doctor said is related to my stress...FANTASTIC haha) but at least it's a bit easier to get up in the morning haha.

And after reading your post apparently waking up is the same for you. Well enjoy your day today! Your workout sounds fantastic!

I can happily report I have a new back window, and it only took an hour. All things considered, not terrible ;) I hope you're having a great day!


thenewmle on 11/08/2012:
Oh, V, I wish you could come! It is always a great feast because my brother and I are kind of a little competitive! He does an awesome shrimp stuffed mirliton and butternut squash soup garnished with shrimp and lump crab. My oyster stuffing is a hands down winner. And hubby has perfected the moistest turkey with the best gravy ever! And my Mom does spinach Madeline and hubby's mom does cauliflower n cheese. My girls usually do 2 kinds of sweet potatoes, one with a vanilla sauce and the other with marshmallows. We make those homemade yeast rolls that I used to be addicted to. And of course we usually have 5 desserts including ChocoFlan. I will need to remember to practice restraint! Hahaha! What do you do for Thanksgiving?


horn_of_plenty on 11/09/2012:
me too! i've also been waking up earlier lol :-) we are still getting used to the extra hour! it's good to have a less rushed AM.

Good Morning I got up extra early for this morning's 60 minute Power Legs class just so I could have extra time to go back if I needed to since I am still memorizing the drills not to mention how fast he transitions..

The rain yesterday brought in a breeze along with cooler temps it's 62 degrees right now with a high of 68..Hopefully it will be a good shift.. Well I better get cleaned up and head out..Catch ya later, have a stellar day all

Back from work, my setup/rearranging wasn't as bad as I anticpated..It made my first day back not as painful, LOL.. Fared pretty well but those temps dipped latter afternoon once the sea breeze kicked in..

Added a stretch class and it's off to get some fuel and unwind..Good Evening!

Good Morning Today's class was Upper Elite..Man am I ever sore LOL!  Shaun T  truly gets insane with that burnout set at the end of the 60 minute class.. He says the work doesn't begin til you are tired..I concur!

It is raining like crazy here,I guess it will be a low key day after I go out to vote. That's cool, I really need to tidy up anyways, well at least mop my floor.. Hope you all have a wonderful day

Hey back from my day of leisure.. It stopped raining in the afternoon, by then I was already firmly planted in my recliner, watching "Blow" (Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz) I also mopped the floor after hours of procratinating.. LOL  It's not like it is alot of area to clean since most of my place is carpeted but the Swifter Mop ruined my floor with the wax buildup from 7 plus years of using it..The majority of the wax is gone but I have to get down and scrub it by hand, it is quite time consuming to say the least..

Well I am going to see how you all are and get some fuel.. Good Evening!

Enjoy your rainy day! The rain came in spurts from yesterday afternoon to really hard bands last night. But it looks like it is over and brought the temps down to the 60's. I stayed up way too late watching the Saints last night but at least it was worth it!! LSU has me scared to go to bed even if we are winning with only 1 minute left, so I didn't want to miss anything! I'll pay for that today...Have a great day!


grannyannie on 11/06/2012:
Sore can be good! Wish more people would vote! Good for you. Have a great day, V!


thenewMLE on 11/06/2012:
Yeah, the Saints game was fun! I am going to put down a bed of chilled iceberg lettuce and mound the lump crabmeat down the center. Around it will be tomato wedges, avocado slices, chilled boiled egg quarters, some black olives and then the Louis Dressing on the side for dipping. I'm on the hunt at lunch for ripe avocado because I did not pick them up Sunday. If she picks the oyster bar, I will make the salad for dinner tomorrow night. Thursday is my 26th anniversary and I don't know what we are going to do yet. I kind of forgot...

Skinnygrlwithin on 11/06/2012:
Thanks! A lot of really good things have happened lately. And yes, if the changes are made that I think will need to be made, it'll make life a lot more tolerable here. As far as a time frame, it could take awhile. I had assumed they would want someone in before session starts in January...but I have nothing really to go off of that, and it could take months.

Enjoy your relaxing rainy days...sometimes those are the best!


Umpqua on 11/06/2012:
LOL at the Asylum video you sent me. A) he admits he's crazy and B) he admits he's trying to kill you. As long as you are OK with that I say carry on! ;0


hollybelle on 11/06/2012:
That movie something! I love Johnny and I thought Penelope C was so pretty in that movie. I think the only movie I didn't like Johnny in was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.


hollybelle on 11/06/2012:
P.S. But I did like Chocolate (the movie)!


Umpqua on 11/06/2012:
Heh, it's all good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAlNrtcPCLw

I liked Blow, Charlie and the Chocolate Facotry and Chocolat haha! Try Dead Man for some serious JD weirdness


Umpqua on 11/06/2012:
Fear and Loathing is classic! The other movie consists of Johnny Depp and lots of great cinematography - there's hardly any dialogue. True weirdness :P Let's not forget Cry Baby (or any John Waters movie) and pretty much any Tim Burton film - love me some JD and I don't care about the whole Keith Richards thing LOL!

Good Morning ladies We had such a good time doing the makeovers on Saturday evening. The girls loved their glammed up hair and nails..It was so funny to hear the gabbings of five 8 year olds..Awww to be that young and innocent. .. The girls stayed up far later than our expectations and I couldn't believe they actually spent the night in the tent set up in the backyard since they did alot of screaming at the shadows and noises once nightfall hit, Hahaha..I didn't stay since I was really wiped from my long day and I was getting eaten alive by mosquitos..By midnight, they were all a little cranky, fighting the fact that they were sleepy and no one wanted to admit to it..And then the bickering and tears came, that was my cue to depart..LOL

Yesterday I spent the day regrouping,after a trip to get groceries..I pretty much napped the day away, and practiced on the agility ladder drills late afternoon...The time change had me feeling a bit off. By 9pm I was wiped ended up sleeping in my Lazy Boy recliner til 3, and fell right back to sleep when I crawled in bed..

Got up at the usual time feeling refreshed and ready for X Trainer... Practicing yesterday really helped with my agility skills in the ladder, I only had to drop for extra  pushups once during the hour long class.. I plan to practice the skills again before Saturday so I will be ready to crush "The Audition"(fit test)

Well I am going to keep the momentum going and get my laundry done ASAP! Hoping  you all have a happy healthy start to your week

Got most of my needful things done today, The rest will have to wait til tomorow. At least I have clean clothes and my meals for the week are made or prepped..  I added an Ab Shredder class this evening and off to see how you all are and get some fuel..  Good Evening all!

thenewMLE on 11/05/2012:
Your little girl camping sounded fun too!! RYC, yes ma'am, that is an 8 month old baby that stayed with us. It was 3 girls (50+) my dog and the baby and then my friend came one night with her dog but was sick and left. The baby was great, but it's a sad story. Her son and wife had the baby and it was born addicted to heroin, marijuana and alcohol. The hospital jailed the parents and called her to take the baby from the hospital or he would be turned over as a ward of the state. So at 55 years old she has had the baby for 8 months. He was detoxed in the hospital but it is been really hard. She intended to put him up for adoption, but I think she is too attached to do that. Her son is back in jail for robbery and the wife is in a halfway house and neither have done anything to meet the requirements to get the baby back. We all know the baby will be better off with loving parents who will nurture him. But she needed this trip more that anybody and the baby was great and I think he enjoyed it too!!


Umpqua on 11/05/2012:
Yay for keeping the momentum going! My eyes were closing by 10 last night and I was up early this morning too. For once we didn't have to drag the boys out of bed, they were rearing to go. Have a good one!

Good Morning Got up bright(or shall I say dark, LOL) and early for "Championship/Sudden Death" class..It was killer but I was slightly disapponted that there were not as many sport events as "Game Day" The "Audition"(Fit Test) at the end of class was all of the combined agility ladder skills..I have LOTS of work to do getting my footwork perfected, I was all over the place, LOL!

After my shift I am going over my friend's place to help out my friend who is throwing a Spa Evening/Birthday party for her 9 yo daughter, this should be fun
