Hi Everyone,
Popped in to say Hi and didn't see a thread started. Is everyone in a slump? I was just getting out of mine and got stung by something (yellow jacket, bee...)the other night. Now my foot and toes are all swollen and real itchy. So I haven't slept well the last few nights. I stopped at Osco this morning and the Pharmacist helped me pick out some things. Hope it helps so I can sleep but I tend to react more than usual even to mosquito bites.

I will be off next week while the tub and ceramic tile in one of the bathrooms is being replaced. YEAH! Right now it is a very unique green - maybe mint. DH will be in China for work so I hope it goes well without any problems and he comes back to a beautiful bathroom - or at least tub area. Much more work to be done. The dog will go to Doggie Day Camp to be out of the way and so he will be very tired at night. Hope to be able to get some workouts done at night then.

I got the deluxe pkg of Turbo Jam ordered so am anxiously awaiting that but would be surprised if it arrived while I am off.

It is raining now. YAHOO!!!!
 
Hi, Marie! I was just about to open a thread when I saw yours. Are you allergic to bee stings or something? Bet that's painful in the foot. Hope the pharmacy drugs help. Good luck on your bathroom remodel. I love remodeling - when it's all done that is. ;)

Well, I don't know if you'd call it a slump but I definitely didn't have the energy for a 30 minute jog this morning. Decided to just walk my normal route instead which took 45 minutes. Felt more energetic when I was done so tacked on 200 walking lunges. Will try to do a segment of Coremax and Stretchmax tonight.

I'm glad to see the rain, too but I hear it's going to hot and muggy tomorrow. Yuck.

Hi marie and Sue.

I am totally in a slump. Not to bum everyone out....just have NO motivation to workout yesterday or today. *sigh* Do you guys go through this, too? I LOVE my workouts, and then suddenly, just don't want to do anything at all. I guess 2 rest days won't kill me. I just can't let it turn into more!!

Marie-Yikes on your sting! I'm sure it hurts. LOL @ your minty bathroom. I'm sure you'll love the new one. You should have plenty of time to try out TJ-hope it comes!

Sue-hi there. I am happy for the rain today too. I should really have watered my lawn (it's still green) yesterday, but never got around to it. It's already done raining here in East Troy (1pm) though, so I dont' know how much the grass got.

Wish me luck with my slump please!

Hi everyone,

I also have been lacking energy lately. Today is going to be my third rest day of the week; I didn't get up early this morning and am getting my hair cut tonight. Last night I did Muscle Max, which I've done only a couple of times before. It was a great workout but so tough. I don't get sore very often, but I'm aching today. I was aching while I was doing the workout! I'm trying to listen to my body, but my head keeps telling me I MUST work out. I know that comes from a lingering fear of gaining weight, but I'm trying to get past that. I haven't gained anything these past couple of weeks, so I should be okay. Anyway, I'm with all of you on the lack of motivation :) We'll get through it!

Marie, I hope your sting feels better. I've seen lots of bees and yellow jackets around the flowers I have on the porch; I always have to keep a close eye on my dogs, who sometimes think the bees are just fun things for them to try to eat. They haven't caught anything so far, luckily.

The rain was nice this morning, but it is supposed to be hot for a while. My boyfriend is practically counting the minutes until fall (he hates the really hot weather), and he keeps me up to date on the forecast :) It's supposed to be gorgeous this weekend, sunny and 75. Yay!

Have a great day,
ellen

Hi Jill - Thanks! And you should see the wallpaper she had with the green tile??? Rose, blue and green very flowery on top and stripes on the bottom! There are days I wonder where I was when we toured this house and decided to make an offer. That wallpaper will soon be gone too!

Good luck getting out of your slump! Just try to pick some workouts that you really love or just bosu a little bit.

Hi Ellen! I am another one counting the minutes til Fall - or at least September. My fovorite month!!!

Marie

PS - Hi Sue!!!!
 
Hello everyone,
Today I did Imax 2 and worked my shoulders. I also have been tired lately...maybe something is in this Wisconsin air. I hope eveyones feet/ankles get better soon...it seem to be a trend for people hurting their feet/ankles. I hope everyone regains their energy soon and that we all have a great fall...which I am looking forward to, its my favorite time of the year


bye for now ;)
 
Hey All!

~Jill......yes, we all go through the slumps with our workouts. I think sometimes it is our bodies just telling us that we need a break.

*As for my workout, I'm trying a new one tonight. I just got kick, punch & crunch from a friend, so we'll see how that one goes tonight.

And YES...I can't wait until fall. I love summer, but it has been just too hot! I can't wait for those 50° mornings again!
