PEEP-o-rama, Thursday

[buffettgirl]

Yawn!!! I had trouble getting to sleep last night. It was so cold. My nose was cold and I can't sleep when my nose is cold. We heat with wood and DH has issues about starting the woodburner before Nov. We have backup electric heat, but he has it turned down low.

Today will be a busy one. I have to get some groceries after work. The cupboard is bare. Then I plan to do 4DS LIS. Trick or treat is tonight in my small town. I guess the powers that be don't want trick or treat to compete with the high school football game on Friday. I also have to make a dessert for a Halloween party at work tomorrow.

Hope you all are great today! I'll try to get back later to catch up.

Good Morning Peeps!

Robin sending you a heating blanket so you can wrap yourself around it while DH waits until its officially November to start the woodburner. Passes you some hot cocoa to help with the warming process.

I feel for you as I dislike the cold - it gets in my bones and makes me so uncomfortable.

Ellie - On The Edge is Lauren Brooks kettlebell dvd Being the taxi Mom is very overwhelming
LOL I loved reading your posts from yesterday .


Well Peeps I need to get moving so I can scrape my windshield and start heating my car to take the kids off to school.

Have a most Excellent Thursday Everyone!

Hiya Peeps!

Sounds like there are a lot of us who are dealing with the cold. Brrrrr I put out my heated bird bath but didn't think I needed to plug it in yet. Well, yesterday morning it dropped into the 20's and the water froze. It thawed during the day though. I love watching the birds come and drink or just hang out. I'm a bird nerd....I took bird watching in college

I have another session with KB Goddess Andrea this morning. I'm hoping this will be the last one and I can start joining her classes. I've only done swings so today will be some new moves. I'm still searching the web for buying KB's but I would really like to feel the handle first. Andrea's had thick handles and I felt like I was losing my grip. I'll let you know how the class goes.

Robin~ Sending some warmth your way. We've had our heat on for the last week but I still get cold. Have fun with your trick or treaters tonight. I just love seeing all the little ones dressed up and so excited.

Vilma~ Don't you just hate having to scrape your car windows in the morning? My DD has to park outside and she complains all the time. Of course, she is always running late so that just compounds it. Whatcha got planned for working out today?

Catherine~ Pass the coffee please How have your KB sessions been going? I gotta get back to doing chins & pulls before I lose what little I can do Have a good day at work!!

Ellie~ I love Imax2. What do you have planned for today? Enjoy your coffee

Waves HI to peeps who follow!

Guten Morgen!

I've put on pot number two of coffee for us--we're drinking lots today!

I did 4DS Boot Camp this morning (just the boot camp part.) I LOVE this workout! I feel so accomplished when I finish.

Today in the Big D it's going to be sunny and 80. Quite a change from what my fellow Peepers have on tap weather wise!

Oh, you know what I discovered from doing the Cathe nutrition program? I consume nearly 100 calories a day in FLAVORED COFFEE CREAMER. Wow. But I'm not giving it up, darn it!

Robin--Trick or treaters tonight? I'd be so confused...and unprepared! I'm buying candy on my lunch break today.

Vilma--Scraping a windshield? I do that 2X a year in Dallas, LOL!

Catherine--Are you feeling better today? I hope better!

Ellie--Four cups of coffee? Can you even sit still today? LOL!

JJ--Enjoy your session with the KB goddess!!

OK, off for breakfast, coffee, and to double check travel grids...I'll be back later to check in!

Hi all. I'm taking a brief break from work to catch up.

Wendy, for some crazy reason, the communities around here pick and choose when to have trick or treat, instead of having Halloween on Halloween. Weird. I hate 4DS Bootcamp for the reason you love it.

JJ, another bird watcher!!!! I love birds. We usually don't put the feeders out until we get snow. I'd like to get a heated bird bath. Maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list. One of my favorite places in the world is Hawk Mountain Sactuary near Reading, PA. The hawk migrate south along the ridges in the fall and you get some absolutely wonderful looks at them.

Catherine, were you up to a workout yesterday?

Ellie, LOL at your post IMAX statement. I usually don't have issues post cardio workouts, but I always suffer post weight work.

Vilma, I also hate to have to scrape the windshield. We have a two car garage, but it is full of DH's two sports cars. He parks them close together in the winter, so I can have space for my car, but that usually doesn't happen until Thanksgiving.

Heather, hugs on your eating issues. It's so hard, isn't it. Food isn't like other addictions that you can just give up. You have to eat!

OK, back to work I go.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. I am leaving for NJ this evening and the past week has been ridiculously busy at home and at work. I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet. I hope to be able to check in more once I am at my parent's house.

Peeps Check-in

Peeps:

Happy Thursday! I am feeling much better today. I finished my class last night and passed the test. Good news! I did not touch the buffet. I had no desire. I was not the only one with a food hangover either. I packed a whole grain pita and hummus for a filling snack at the office. I did not get hungry until yesterday afternoon. I guess my body was still digesting dinner from the night before.

Robin, I love HIS and LIS! Fun, fun, fun! 4-Day Split Kickbox is a blast too. Thanks for the hugs. You are so right about the food addiction. I was a binge drinker in my 20s. I woke up one Saturday morning in July after my last party and decided that was it. I walked away and never looked back. If only food could be so simple. I read a book this past summer called Intuitive Eating that has been very beneficial. I am making progress. I am learning to get right back on track after a stumble instead of sliding down the slippery slope into a pit. One meal does not make or break my fitness journey. Thankfully, my lapse this week did not turn into a relapse and ultimately a total collapse. I am finally breaking free from the all-or-nothing thinking that is so self-defeating.

Vilma, I cannot complain about cold after reading your post! I am not scraping the windshield!

Catherine, have a great day!

Ellie, I love reading your posts. You are so funny, and you make my heart smile!

JJ, can your birds ice skate? LOL!

Wendy, do you work at the airport? Do you like Cathe’s nutrition software? I am looking forward to seeing your little one in her candy corn costume tomorrow!

Karin, welcome back! I am sending hugs and prayers for your father. Have a safe trip.

Blessings,
Heather B.

Lets see if I can keep up here LOL!!

JJ, I have my next session with Katie tomorrow. She is supposed to intergrate some functional mobility exercises into our session. So far so good. I can not wait to hear how your session with Andrea goes!!

Ellie, you are the coffee queen

Robin, I did B&G yesterday without any weights and skipped the squats. It went well. I am tired, but ok otherwise.

Wendy, I love 4ds BC up until about the point that she's doing the pushups and says "8" Then I feel like collapsing

Karin, I hope you find some time to slow down soon!!

Heather, good for you!! Passed the class and didn't tough the buffet!!

OK, back to work. I hope to get a bit of cardio and a few chinups in this evening.

 

[Boilergal]

Karin--Hugs to you and I wish you safe travels. I also hope your father is doing well at home.

Heather--Wow, your story is very inspirational!! You are a very strong person to overcome what you have. And you are right about food--I read a quote from someone with an eating disorder and it rang so true to me. The woman basically said you don't need cigarettes or alcohol to survive, but you must take in food every day to live. And that's why food addictions are so hard--because you can't walk away or "quit" food, you know? You have to face it everyday--and take each day as it comes.

I have to say, I'm LOVING the Cathe nutritional software! Yesterday I entered in a recipe I have for chicken tacos, and it calculated the calorie count and nutrition information for me. It also gives you a grade, A-F, on everything from Vitamin B1 to fat grams to sodium, etc. (I got mostly A's but got a D in total calories (over!) and in Carbohydrates (I love fruit a little too much, I think..) But it's been extremely helpful and very much worth the $9.99 I paid for a one-month subscription. WARNING: You do spend a lot of time entering stuff, so it can be a big suck-in time waster, LOL!

Oh--I coordinate travel for sports production crews for a TV network. That's why I'm always talking about flights, car pools, etc.
