Morning girls,

Got about 3 hours of sleep last night and for some reason can't nap this morning. SO TIRED. Don't know when I'll get my workout in today. Can barely walk. I am a total zombie.

YAWN
 
YIKES Angie.... Go lay down on the couch! Are the girls at school? I would be a zombie too on 3 hours of sleep. In fact, I might even be in a coma. There's no way I could do that... On a brighter note, you are just a few short days away from a trip to the states! I know you will finish Insanity right before you leave - any plans for workouts while you are there?

It's FRIIIIII - DAY!


Oh I am so glad it's Friday - but I have lots to accomplish before it's over. 5 mile run this morning, a bazillion clients and tons of paperwork at the office, errands on lunch.... This evening Collin is going to a kids program at the Wellness Center so Chris and I have two kid-free hours - what to do?

My laptop charger is on the fritz - that is the issue I have been referring to. It's a new freaking battery and new charger, Piece of S***!

Okay, better get going, be back later if my stupid computer cooperates!
 
Ditto what Angie said. No sleep for me either. This is going to be a loooong day.:mad:

Angie, Hope you can get some rest!

Katie, Sorry for the laptop issues. My (*&*^&^%$ plug in for my Mac sometimes doesn't read thatit's plugged in and I could hurt it!
Have a great run adn have fun tonight w/ Chris whatever you end up doing.

-
Not happy w/ my eats for the last couple days. Can you say too much chocolate!?!:mad: Seems like sometimes the harder you try it backfires. Need to get my act together.

We did the Fit Test last night and we both improved on everything. I added on Cardio Abs and CS too.

This weekend is so busy. All good things but I'm so tired right now I don't want to do anything. Let the fun begin! I really need to take a deep breath so I am nice to my girls......

Zomie-max here too. I think i need to see a doctor about my sleep problems but I don't want to be drugged up.

morning

Angie take a nap for sure

katie they don't make computers like they did in the past. It's like they want us to spend more and more money on it.

Work this a.m. I should be back early in the afternoon.

I'm starting to dislike my supr. She talks about her employees behind their backs. Which just makes her look incompetent not the employee.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Good Morning Girls !

SORRY about the rotten night of (no) sleep for everyone !!!
I have the most severe insomnia, you wouldn't believe it. I finally gave in and take a sleep aide every night ! Even with it, most nights are pretty short (5 hours if I'm lucky) but let me tell you, that's a whole lot better than sitting up all night and barely being able to function during the day !

I hope there will be lot's of naps today !!!!

I'm glad it's FRIDAY !!!!

Chest & back from STS for me.

Becky
 
I picked up the girls for lunch but canceled my english teaching for this afternoon. I think I would be useless. I'll try to take another nap this afternoon but first I'm going to do my WO. I laid in bed for an hour and a half this morning and didn't sleep. I wanted to so badly but couldn't for some reason. What the crap?

Katie, sorry about your computer woes. I hope you and Chris have a nice time together this evening while Collin is at the wellness center.

Kate, ^5 on your fitness test results. Sorry about the eats. Mine have been off too. Not sure what the deal is. Gotta get my resolve in place before I head back to the States. Were you up with J?

Robin, why aren't you sleeping? Are you considering another job?

Becky, I can't imagine not being able to sleep every night and constantly living in this zombie mode. How do you function?

Yesterday I sat down and tried to make a rotation including every cathe dvd I own basically in order of when they were made. It ended up being 11.5 weeks worth (including STS cardio but not STS strength) and I don't have the basic/low impact step ones or I think it's called high impact circuit. Anyway, I think it would be interesting to do it all like that all the way through. Wonder if I would get annoyed with the old ones. One of the things I was thinking about while not sleeping last night was that it would be cool if Cathe came out with a newer CTX. I'd like to do one body part per day.

Anyway, hope everyone gets some rest today.

BBL.
 
rough morning here too:( i feel depressed and subdued. not sure why. it helps, though, to read what you guys post - then i do not feel so alone.

angie, hope you get in a nap, though i could never sleep after doing insanity. maybe nap first?

kate, what happened to you last night? congrats on the fit test. lets get on the wagon together today.

hi becky - have you ever looked into hypnosis for insomnia? i am fascinated by hypnosis.

hi robin - i hate office gossip, and i have learned no office is free of it.

katie, have a great run!

less than 1 week until dh leves for 18 days:( i went out running this am and had a really hard time of it until the end, i think mostly b/c i exercised yday afternoon, so not enough rest. i got my 11 miles in, and i am happy about that. also, the plus side to feeling subdued is i feel no anxiety. weird, huh? home day with my boys. i think we will play in puddles later this morning as it rained last night. they love stripping down to nothing and juming in dirty water:p biab

oh, and goals (not that i succeeded yday, but i can try again)
1. stay positive and smile
2. clean and tidy all day!
3. take a walk with the boys am and pm
 
Robin, Looks like Insomnia is ruling C&T!

Becky, STS is sounding so good right now!

Angie, Yes, up woth J. Usually she does so well - not sure what's going on.:confused:
Let's keep eachother uber-accountable w/ eats! I'm not doing Insanity to just maintain!!!!!!

Nina, Enjoy your home day - looks like we've got one too. BUt when DON"T I?!?!?!? Witht he bus schedule and naps for J I feel ike I can hardly ever leave the house.
YEsterday - I just got busy. I read everyting bt no time to type.
Glad you're not feeling anxious. Subdued is a good word for how I feel today too. What with all of us today?!?!?!?:confused::eek:

-
Just had my CLEAN bfast of oats and blueberries.
NO AM SNACK!!!!!!
not sure on the rest of the day, but lots of CLEAN options. Must. Keep. PC!!!!
 
Hi Everyone!

I did sleep last night but I am sick. Yesterday I was running and all of the sudden my stomach started grumbling. It was starting to rain so I called Chris to pick me up. It was a rough day at work but I had to go in because my day was packed with meetings. I think I spent 1 hour at my desk all day. Anyway, I decided to work from home today so that I could relax a little. I am supposed to do STS Chest and Back today but I will probably postpone until tomorrow.

Kate, you do have a lot of schedules to coordinate. It should be easier next year when I is in first grade.
Katie, good luck getting everything done today but at least you have a kid free evening to look forward to.
Nina, well I am glad the anxiety is gone. Have fun with the boys in the puddles today.
Angie, I can't function on 3 hours of sleep. Are you stressed about your trip to the US?
Robin, I hate being drugged up too. Sorry about your supervisor woes.
Becky, only 5 hours of sleep with medicine!!! I would be a walking zombie.

I'll look over yesterday's posts later - right now I have to figure out when my work laptop won't power up even though it is plugged in.
 
Happy Friday!

No workout yesterday:( No worries though-I'll do cardio today and a total body workout on Sunday and that'll be 5 days this week:) Gotta go grocery and shoe shopping today. Other than that, nothing else going on. Tomorrow is dance on and off til 4 and Sunday is the wedding. Oy! Eats were bad yesterday-meals were good, but I had 3 donuts and 4 cookies:eek: Once that sugar gets in my system, watch out!

Angie, hope you can get some rest. I was like that last week and it was so tough to do anything.

Katie, busy day for you too! I say stay in;)

Kate, that's why I don't buy my Halloween candy til right before-I'd eat it all! Hope you can get some rest too.

Robin, sorry about the work woes and lack of sleep. Take a nap when you get home!

Becky, my mom's the same way-even with sleeping pills, she has a hard time getting enough.

Nina, enjoy your day with the boys. Puddle jumping sounds fun:) No anxiety is good. Your goals are great and they're always a work in progress, no?

Colleen, hope you feel better. A rest day is probably a good idea.

Off to make my breakfast-pb&banana on ww:)
 
colleen, hope u get feeling better. rest up!

kl, a trip to the cider mill would be certain death for me right now!:p
i dont even buy hween candy. we're not home to greet t or t'ers and we live too far out anyway. plus, dds get enough at hween.
yummy bfst~!
 
Morning, everyone! Sorry for all the sleep woes around here.

Klaudia, will you please bring me some breakfast? What you're making sounds good, but I prefer a breakfast burrito. Extra jalapenos, if you will.

Colleen, tummy monkeys are no fun. I hope working at home helps you relax. I was supposed to work at home today, but my connection to the office isn't working at my new place yet. Oh, well. I'm actually showered and dressed already today, which is unheard of for me on a Friday!

Kate ^5 on the fit test! You go, girl. You all are making think about getting insanity. Or maybe just insane. Yeah, that might be the way to go.

Nina, I've decided you run enough for both of us, so I don't have to do it anymore. Sound good? Just kidding, I'll start running again in the spring. I'm a fair weather runner. Have fun in the puddles today.

Angie, did you get a nap? Lack of sleep is the worst. Well, one of the worst. Chronic pain is bad too. And I can think of some other things...When do you leave for the States? Are you excited?

Becky, did you work out yet? Is it cold and gray in OH today? The sun is shining here, but it's supposed to get cloudy later on. Where did fall go?

Robin, I agree with Nina, there is no workplace free of gossip. That's too bad about your supervisor. Can you make fun of her without her knowing it? Oh, wait, that's not nice, is it? Bad Anne.

Katie, busy day for you! Kid-free hours? I know what I thought of, but a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste. I'm sure you'll think of something G rated.

Hi Lisa and Wendy!

Last night was books and beer as well as tap class. I was dreading books and beer because the majority of the people in the group are co-workers of Jim's. But nobody said anything, which was good. I'm just not ready to talk about it in that setting. And tap class was really fun, of course.

Off to get some work done, I hope. I'm supposed to get my new iMac today. Hooray!

anne
 
boys just had their snack. i had broc and carrots. yes, i know it is only 9:30, but it helps push the sugar cravings away! and i like broc and carrots.

kate, this will be our first year buying halloween candy. i will buy all prewrapped stuff. funny, but candy is not so appealing today. still subdued i guess.

klaudia, your breakfast sounds so so good. hmmm, maybe that will be my lunch. i am making the lentil sou this weekend for sure. may sub a swt potato in for regular.

anne, glad books and beer went well. and i am so glad you are back at tap. insanity is such fun. i love that their is no equipment.

colleen, sorry you fel bad. take some rest time, okay?

katie, i am jealous of your evening. i know what i'd do but....;)

big temper taantrum coming on - 3rd of the morning. and no, it is not me having a tantrum. biab
 
angie, kate, robin, becky... try for a nap if you can? i know its hard for some of is to nap in the daytime. that stinks.

i actually ended up waking up a bunch of times because my back is bothering me. didnt hit me til last night but i think the deadlifts from group power class did it. MUST get my cardio interval session in today. MUST MUST MUST. it is snowing out but s'posed to stop soon and i should be able to head out. since JJ has boycotted his AM nap the last few days im not going to try and instead go for 1x a day, put him down after the gym. it would be good to get in that yoga session too.

brfst was eggs with tomato and wheat toast. STILL have peanut noodles from the other day that will be my lunch, lol, guess i made too much? good news is DH said it was great and that means a lot when he takes something to work and then remembers to tell me he really liked it. it means a lot to me. i HATE not having him home for dinner.

nina, sorry not a great AM for you but it will brighten up... ikwym abt dh going away. sometimes the build up to it is very anxious time for me. how do your kids do? we are thinking of going with DH on his next trip because it will be 5 months again.
anne, is books and beer a book club? sounds fab =) are you separating?

kate, we get TONS of trick or treaters here. we are on a nice little street but just one block off a main drag...everyone walks the neighborhood here! where do you go when you get them all dressed?

klaudia, no wo for me y'day either, had a feeling it would happen =( cant wait to see your shoes! i hrt new shoes!

colleen, so glad you can work from home with your belly bothering you. stomach issues at work are the WORST.

hope i didnt miss anyone!
 
No nap. Gonna try to workout so the day isn't a total waste. Maybe then I'll be tired enough to sleep.

Halloween candy!?!? YIKES. I don't even like it. My goal is to not eat one piece while I'm home. Not one. Because if I eat one, I'll eat them all.

We leave Wednesday morning BRIGHT AND EARLY.

My mom has the firm (lots of them) so I'll probably do those while I'm home. It will be kind of "recovery" from insanity and not demanding too much while I'm traveling...

Off to CCB.
 
Anne, Glad last ngiht turned out well for you.
Ditto the extra jalaps! mmmmm!
Hope you get your computer today!

NIna, LOL at the tantrum not being yours! Hope the rest of the day smooths out!

Wendy, There are lots of subs in town so we jsut hit up each of our parents and get a sub near them.
ME LOVE DEADLIFTS!!!! My all-time favorite weight lifting move! Good job on all the walking! I'mhoping to take one w/ Ju later today efore I pick up DDs at schoool for dance.

Angie, No nap for me either. I can't sleep in the daytime - too much to do,
FIRM actually sounds kinda fun!:eek::D
I bet the girls are getting excited to see family again!

-
Eats are on track. NOthing is tempting me. yay!
 
CCB done! I can't believe I actually am not dying. I don't know how I'm functioning on so little sleep. Hopefully I crash tonight. My shoulders are burning from those plie squat deals at the end. Didn't help that they were already sore this week.

Kate, I will stay on track with you! We can be clean eating buddies. I agree - insanity is not for maintenance!

Wendy, good luck getting that WO in today - you can do it! I can't believe it's snowing! It's only October!

Nina, sorry DH is leaving. Mine used to travel a lot when we lived in AZ. It was rough! So, I feel your pain! Sorry about the temper tantrums. Some days are just like that.

EEK!! Time to pick up girls. Finish up w/personals later!!
 
angie, good job w/ pushing thru the wo! you;ll be ready for bed tonight for sure!
my eats are totally on track - and staying that way!!! yours too???
 
Sleepy-draws here. I not sure how I got through work but I made sure to leave out on time. After I pick up my son from school I'm going to order a pizza (I'll make a side salad) and then take a nap.

Kate good going with the clean eats.

Colleen there is a stomach bug going around. I hope you feel better.

Anne :DLMAO YES on Facebook....I can make fun of her and she would never know,:D I'm glad you had fun in tap.

Klaudia is high on sugar...watch out.

Nina don't you hate tantrums:rolleyes:

Angie plie squats hurt your shoulders?? Oh I get it. Angie your mom use to do the Firm.?...Cool mom.

Wendy JJ has boycotted. He refuses to sleep during the morning. I wish I had that option.

I have to buy ear plugs today!! My cat woke me up early around 2:30 am scratching on his post.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
