Kick, PEEP, and Crunch

[LauraR]

Things are returning to normal here. We got our medical emergency off to the States, so DH and I no longer have the primary care job. It was nice to hand that off. Now we can try to sweep up the chaos left in the wake of this weekend's emergency.

Amidst all the stress, I was another food casualty this weekend. I actually drank 2 sodas yesterday! Yikes. And let's not talk about the dark chocolate peanut M&Ms on Sunday!

Time to get back on track (for 2 days--until Thanksgiving!)

This morning I just finished Imax 3--WITHOUT PUSHING THE PAUSE BUTTON! I am feeling proud of myself.

No time for personals today.

Hugs and waves.

Good morning, Peeps...

Laura..I'm a milk chocolate lover myself, never got into dark, but hey, it's all chocolate!

Yesterday I did Cardio Conditioning from KPC, today will be a 4 mile walk/jog, followed by a dentist trip to replace a temp cap that came off over the weekend while I was eating Raisinettes..I knew I was in trouble when the raisins were a tad too crunchy!!

Have a great day, maybe check back later depending on pain level.

Guten Morgen, Peeps!

I still feel like total crap! What is this virus??!!!??? I'm still congested (not as bad, but still!) and now it's in my chest. I think this is going to be a long one to fight off. I'm at home today, just lounging and trying to rest as much as I can. But can I tell you how longingly I'm looking at my High Step Training DVD????? Someday, HST, someday....

Laura--IMAX 3 is a great way to get back on track!

Jerry--Good luck on your run and I hope the dentist gets your tooth fixed up ASAP!

Morning Peeps:

I just finished PUB and now I'm off to the mall to start my xmas and birthday shopping. DH's birthday is tomorrow and DS turns 21 in a few weeks. I also have my dad's and twin nephews birthdays to shop for

Laura~ High fives on doing Imax 3 without hitting the pause button! That one is tough.

Jerry~ I did KPC yesterday too. Hope everything goes well at the dentist. I had a crown put on a few years ago and the temporary cap they put on while they constructed the crown fell off too.

Wendy~ Sorry to hear you are still feeling crummy Sending good healing vibes your way.

Hi to all peepers who follow.

I did KPC yesterday, too. Must've been something in the air!

Hi peeps! Where is everyone today? I guess that everyone is busy preparing for Thanksgiving. Last night I did 2 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workouts. That was hard. These particular workouts are pretty high impact and I was ready to be done with them. I am sore today though so that's good.

Tonight, I am thinking of doing Drill Max. I have a bit of a dread factor because of some of the cardio sections in that workout. So, I decided to just fast forward through the sections that I don't like. That way it's shorter and I don't have to jump around as much . I really do like weight work in this workout!

Do you guys go shopping on Black Friday? There's no way that I will be caught near any kind of shopping area this Friday . I saw a commercial last night for Kohls that advertised they were opening at 4 am. WTH?!? Are people really going to be there at that time?

Ellie - how are you holding up?

Laura - glad your situation has calmed down some.

Jerry - I'm sorry about your tooth, ouch!!

Wendy - I hope that you get better soon. You can always preview HSTA while resting on the couch. I like this workout, but I fast forward through some of the leg presses. It should be called Leg Press Max, IMHO. Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

JJ - I hope that your trip to the mall was succesful and that it isn't too busy yet. Did you find some gifts that you were looking for?

Dani - thanks for updating us on the new job possibility. I really hate waiting around for stuff like this to happen. I just want to know and be done with it. If it does work out, where would you be relocating to?

Hi to Heather, Catherine, and Robin and any other peeps that might peep in.

Hi Peeps

Does 4 chocolate chip cookies, 4 cups of coffee with mila and sugar cover my food groups for the day???? For my w/o I am typing this post!
So technically I did great with my plan huh???

Last night was awful as you can imagine. I need some time to move on and heal. Keeping busy helps some. The boys are off until next Mon. so I'm pretty sure I'll be running around quite a bit.
Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

Laura, me being nosey again, but what type of work are you and DH doing??? So curious.

Jerry- I can't tell you how many temps of mine have come off the minute I get home from the dentist. They used a new cement last time because the Dr. thinks my saliva is so acidic it melts it away!!!

Wendy- hang on girl. I had that never ending cold/chest/head thing for 5 weeks. Remember. Take really good care of yourself and drink lots of water. I ended up with an earache after all that. And 2 antibiotics. I wasn't sleeping well or resting like I should.

JJ- I guess we won't see you until tomorrow!!!! getting in and out of our mall makes me really question how bad the economy is. Either people are shopping their troubles away, or the govt is lying about consumer spending.!!! That place and all the surrounding stores are packed all the time. Good Luck

Karin- what in the world do people need at Kohl's at 4am??? No way am I going for the "Lowest prices of the seasons" sale, that they have had 6 times already this season!!!!
And I love Drill Max. It hurts so good. makes me feel like the althlete I am not!

Dani- if you relocate you are moving closer to NJ right???? Would love to have you around. Let us know how things are coming along.

Heather- I would have broken thru that glass showcase of bakery goods and tried every single one. OMG. I am a sweet freak and that would have pushed me over the edge. I don't blame you one bit for giving into temptation.

Hi to Robin, Catherine and all Peeps who follow.
Keep the recipe links coming. I need to learn some of the basic ingredients (sad at 44 isn't it)

Hi Peeps!

Just thought I'd let someone else kill the Peeps thread today! I have been busy during the day at work so haven't been able to post much and by the time I get home and workout done all you East Coasters are in bed dreaming about pushups and crunches already! There are a few West coast Catheites, but not many...

So, just had a minute before my next meeting so thought I'd throw my 2 cents in early...

Laura: good job on the NO PAUSE! I don't have IMAX3 but from the sounds of it it's killer! glad your weekend medical emergency is over and you can recoup!

Jerry: My DH was at the dentist today too for a composite (white) filling that was irritating his jaw! that's no fun, so hopefully you are able to make it through the afternoon with little after-affects!

Wendy: sorry you are feeling so cruddy! sounds like what Ellie had awhile back... I think I'll put away my medical advice this time around and just tell you to feel better soon!

JJ: good job on the workout! and just think, you could have replaced your PUB with shopping bag curls! it's the same thing right?

Karin: I'll do DM with you (winks at Ellie) ~ AS PRODUCED this time!!! LOL... I was supposed to do MM last night for the November rotation, but since I did BC on sunday I wasn't sure I'd make it through... will give it a shot as I am dying to know what I was missing out all these days from doing the premix the first go round!

Ellie (& Karin): the relo will unfortunately take me North, not East... Seattle area is where the job is... but I'm just getting used to Vegas - talk about from the desert to the rain forest! We lived across the Puget Sound (West on the peninsula) from Seattle a few years back and loved that area, just no work... so will keep y'all posted... One of these days I'm gonna get to NY/NJ though!

And Ellie, if your today's diet and exercise program actually worked, I'd be a supermodel!


hope all the Peeps have had a great day!

UGH, I still feel like crap (OK, Peeps, sorry but big whine to follow!) Ellie, I totally remember now that you struggled with this, too!! I haven't worked out in five days, have NOT cleaned the house, hid my crap, or even ran a dust cloth over things...and I have 8 people to entertain for Thanksgiving!!! (One coming straight from the airport off a flight from Seattle!!) I'm panicking. I need to bake pies...chop stuff...make cranberry sauce...and all I do is lay on the couch and watch Food Network! (By the way, I saw the most disgusting recipes for Thanksgiving EVER on Ingrid Hoffman's show--she smothered a turkey with a whole bottle of yellow mustard, some worchestire sauce, and a bottle of malta (ugh!) then made a stuffing with a pound of ground beef, ground pork, italian sausage, 10 hard boiled eggs, two sticks of butter, sauteed vegetables and 10 pieces of white bread soaked in milk. UGH!)

But the bottom line--I'm not having anyone over if I can make them sick. I'm Lysoling the house right now before I go and pick up Houdini.

I've also called the nurse just now to see if I can take decogestants (I'm on other meds that say you have to check with your doctor before combining them with decogestants) but maybe I should just go to the doctor tomorrow if I still feel crappy. I hate taking medication for things that should run its course, but I've had a bad case of pneumonia before so I'm a *wee* bit neurotic about anything that sits on my chest!!

Oh my. I'm rambling. Sorry! I'll happily take the spot of Peep thread killer for the day...

Sincerely,
Wendy "The Crazy" Peep

Wendy: the only thing you should be killing right now is the virus! So sorry you are uncomfortable and feeling icky! most of the time the Dr. can't do much for you but you never know if it is something they can treat or not unless you go! I wouldn't host visitors either if you are still this sick tomorrow evening... that's all your potential guests need is possible exposure ~ which I am assuming they would appreciate you keeping to yourself!

hope you find some relief soon!

(((Hugz to you)))

PS. I just noticed your signature... Ok, what'd I miss? Since when did you become "CRAZY"? lol!
