goood morning everyone! boy did i mis you all! i scrolled thru the weekend posts and am happy to "see" you all.

katie, great race! i ran on saturday too, and the winds were nuts! you should be so porud.

kate, hppe your whole trip was great. did you feel like you had a vacation?

angie, you sound good. i love intensity series.

klaud, this is a new week, right? hope it is a good one for you. and i'd love a c and t retreat.

anne, how is the family? what are your easter plans?

colleen, a running club would be so good for motivation.

robin, i am very very jealous of your weather. what are you and te kids doing for easter?

well, this won't be long b/c i want to go hit the weights. i want to repeat ff's dec rotation. i ran every day i was gone, 8-9 miles a day. it was great. dh and i had a wonderful argument-free trip. best of all, i LOVED being with my inlaws! aside from some style differences, i just feel so blessed to have an intact family when mine is in shreds. i also felt accepted for who i am, and it was good. happy to report eats were clean as a whistle. no cheats at all. i am coming home leaner than before! one thing, thouygh, boys slept horrid! we were all together and i averaged 2.5hrs a night. last night in my own bed was heavenly! i'll bbl, but off to do gs c ands 2x's.
 
Good morning Morris! I'm so glad to hear you had a nice trip - we missed you too! I'm so impressed that you stayed clean and got to run everyday - that's commitment!

This morning I am a tad homesick... don't really know what brings it on. Ugh. Need to go workout (rhythmic step) and hoping it will spur on some endorphins!

BBL!

angie
 
Morris, so glad to hear about your trip! Glad you got to run every day and kept your eats on track -- impressive! Tell those boys to go to sleep and stay asleep!

Angie, sorry to hear you are homesick. Aren't you coming to the states very very soon?

Well my weekend was pretty good, but something I ate (I am guessing pizza Saturday night) did not agree with me. I won't get too graphic, but it was not good. Not full blown food poisoning but.... So I didn't eat much yesterday because of this. But like an idiot, I got up this morning anyway and attempted STS 19. Ummmm, no. My body was like, what? You want me to bench press 60# with no food in here? No thank you! So I stopped my workout about 20 minutes in:( I hope I get to feeling better today so I can workout tomorrow. I am really itching to run!

And on top of not feeling well, I have that stupid court thing with Frank this morning:mad: Talk about the makings for a no-good-very-bad day!

Wow, I will take my negativity out of this thread. Be back later, maybe at lunch time....
 
Katie, some days are like that - even in Australia! :) Hope your day gets better!

Sweating my butt off from Rhythmic Step - LOVE IT! Gotta hop in the shower and go pick up Ellie... bbl!

Have I mentioned how much I love my clif bars for post w/o snacks???

Morning Kate! So glad to had a nice time in Chicago! I can't wait to go - we leave a week from Saturday! I can't come fast enough! But you're right, there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed.

Eating my lunch - 1 egg, 2 egg whites scrambled and some leftover roasted potatoes (I could eat these all day long!). Then I think Ellie and I are going shopping. Need some groceries - have no desire to cook this week. Kate, wanna be my chef?

Ellie's reading to herself on the couch... so cute!
 
angie, i can feel your usa excitement!!!
yummy lunch....and i love nothing more thn cooking! will cook for you anytime!:D we need grocs baaaaad! and we got a huge amt of snow - :mad:!!! itll be so fun to tak all 3 dds w/ me to get grocs in this junk!:rolleyes:
cute ellie!!!
 
Quick drive by, I need to get caught up at work and finish my presentations for next week. I was driving to work this morning and I saw someone out running. It's like 30 degrees out, 4 inches of snow, wet and cold and nasty. That's dedication, I would never go out in weather like this.

I'll be back later for personals. Welcome back, Morris! You "sound" so good!

And, oh yeah, don't forget:

GO SPARTANS!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

It has been a weird Monday morning. I decided over the weekend that the sun now rises early enough for me to run in the morning. Also, Chris decided it was time for him to restart his workouts. I was exhausted because I got to bed late last night - I thought it would be a good idea to order sudafed online since I was ordering other stuff and I needed it. Well I forgot about the stupid law that requires a driver's license for ordering sudafed because of the drug addicts of the world. So I was up late providing that info so I can order sudafed. What a hassle.

So I got up, helped Chris with his weight workout (no weights for me - just spotting and form pointers) and then I went out for a run. Got back and then did weights and plates abs. I am not used to running in the morning during allergy season and then going to work so I am congested and tired.

Morris, glad you had a wonderful trip with your inlaws! Sorry that you didn't get any sleep.
Anne, 30 degrees and snow is too cold for me to go running.
Angie, hang in there - only a couple of weeks until you are back on US soil. Hope your workout helped.
Kate, glad you had a great trip and got in lots of walking. Chicago is a lot of fun.
Katie, sorry you weren't feeling well over the weekend. Hope everything goes well in court this morning.
Robin, are you enjoying your first day of rest week?
 
GO STATE, GO!!!

Snow Day here! Funny, cause there's really not that much snow, but I think the weather people scared the schools into thinking a near blizzard was on the way. Funny how many parents didn't know and showed up to the bus stop this morning! My neighbor was really upset-she hates when the schools cancel cause it messes up her childcare arrangements. I love 'em-no rushing , no packing lunch, jammies ALL day;) I'm watching her 8 year old today. So I ended up watching Braveheart for the umpteenth time yesterday and skipped my workout again. I may have to do c/s/t twice this week to catch up.


Morris, welcome "home":) Glad your vacation turned out so well. Can't believe you ran that much on so little sleep! Wow!

Angie, big hugs to you. I remember having days like that when I was in France, too. Hope the workout gave you a bunch of feel good endorphins:)

Katie, hope your day gets better.

Kate, good luck at the ortho and grocery store. I need food, too.

Anne, thanks so much for the kind words yesterday. We all had such a good time:) Next time it'll be grown ups only! My neighbor is training for the Cleveland marathon and she runs in this kind of weather-ALL the time! Blech! No thanks!

Hi Robin and Colleen!

b-egg sandwich
 
Stormy weather here just rain no snow.

Katie feel better and no sTS until you are 100%...especially no double waves.

Angie RS is one of my favs too.

morris which w/o did you do?

Kate good luck with appt.

Colleen they don't have that law yet but they do ask for telephone number when you get some cold meds. A real drug addict will walk 10 miles to get what they need so I really don't understand this law

------------------
Off to start my recovery
Cathe kickboxing premix.

My menu for this week will be no snacks until after 8pm. I'm going to have a big breakfast, lunch, early dinner and snack. If I get hungry between meals I'll eat an apple.
 
colleen, great job w/ the run, but sorry abt the allergies!
youre a good wife to help chris out!:)

klaudia, i loooove snow days too! we prob wouldve had one but its our spring break. ???? sure, spring break!:rolleyes: we got cheated out of a snow day!!!:p oh man, i love braveheart!!!

robin, enjoy your recovery wk!!
good plans on eats!

---
oh, do i love having gina home!:D shes so helpful!
off to ortho soon....then maybe grocs and out to lunch ???
 
Where are you going to lunch, Kate? I'm always looking for good ideas.

Work is crazy this morning, of course. What did I expect?

Robin, good plans on the eats. I eat lunch as my biggest meal of the day.

Klaudia, are you wearing green today? I just realized I am, but it wasn't intentional! It must have been my subconscious.

Colleen, great work out this morning! I need to try to run this week, but I don't think the weather is going to cooperate. I'm doing a 5K on Saturday.

Katie, eat something, you poor thing! I hate that trying to work out without having had enough food feeling. I had it a couple weeks ago. I hope you're feeling better today.

Angie, I know homesickness used to come over me in waves, just like stress does now. Hopefully your work out helped. And not too long before you get to visit!

Morris, what are you up to today?

I'm going to lunch soon. I have to drop off taxes at the post office. We got walloped this year. Oh, well, it's only money, right?

anne
 
Quick drive-by for me too. I had dry toast for lunch, which went fine. I am having soup and bread now, cross your fingers for me!!

Court went fine -- the case got dismissed.

I am having a rough day... But as promised, I will keep my negativity to myself!
 
Katie, you don't have to keep your negativity to yourself, in my opinion. If it helps you to vent to us--feel free!

I'm glad the case was dismissed.

anne
 
anne, we went to logans.... i miss rainforest cafe!:p

katie, glad ct went well! and if you need to vent.....do it!:D

-----
dr said if g stops thumb sucking NOW we might be able to avoid braces. she is motivated!!! lets hope it keeps up! she doesnt do it a lot now but often enough that she needs to quit!

had dessert w/ dds at lunch.... j fell asleep and i didnt want to move her...so we had dessert to stay there longer. oops:p:eek:
 
Kate, no worries, I had coconut cream pie Saturday night! After I pigged out on ribs. Oh, well...

I'm heading home soon to do Push/Pull since I never did it the other day. A girlfriend of mine called and we ended up on the phone for 45 minutes. By the time we were done I was too hungry to work out.

I'll be back after work out!
