Summer check in Monday, 8/22/05

Hi, ladies:

I am in & out of the boards here - we have been trying to finish up some house things and I have been interviewing for a promotion (should hear this week, please keep your fingers crossed for me!). I have been working out, but mostly shorter segments than usual and haven't been keeping up here. :) Sorry!

I am totally butting into your convo, but Kali, where are you all planning on meeting? The most direct route to Wendy's part of the world is to take 80 East to 287 North, I think. A halfway point for the two of you would probably be in the Netcong or Morristown areas. If you are meeting near Somerville, NJ (which is more south-central NJ), you can take 33 South to 78 West. It is pretty direct either way, but you need to be careful what time you are traveling...

I'd love to join you ladies, but my work hours are insane and I refuse to travel on days I don't have to, lol.

Cheers!
Marie
 
Hi Kali,Wendy,Charlotte,Jessica!

Well I am ready to workout again! I still am a bit wealish but thats to beexpected after feeling like crap fpr almost a week. I am going to upperbody work. Charlotte I too just love working that upperbody! I forgot what I missed from the rotation so I will pick a cardio from that and do it. Or maybe I will run on treadmill doing intervals. I will break it up though. Cardio a.m. then weights p.m. so as to not over do it. Thanks to all you ladies for the moral support while I was sick.:)

Jessica-Great job on getting the paper done and good luck at school today!
Wendy and Kali-Conrats on all your hard work and losing some weight and inches!!!!!
Charlotte-You as always are amazing:)

Kali-how long ago did you quit drinking? And congrats on that as well:)
I am the only single person here I think. I am like you Wendy as I love not having to schedule things around a husband. Not that you don't adore your hubby but free time is so fun:) I still have to run my bussiness from home but i have a pretty relaxed schedule most days so I workout when I want etc...Being divorced I remember the days of cooking and cleaning before my husband got home. Many years ago though:) My son is 24 and on his own so it's just me and my 15 year old sheltie! My son and I get together often though and we have so much fun. I am currently not dating by choice. The last guy turned out to be a workout mentally so I am taking a dating break! Most guys I have dated hate my workout obsession and well sorry but it comes first before any man except my son. Ok enough about me. I got on a roll there didn't I? :)

I will check back later when I have done some workouts!

Terri--
To heck with the guys who can't handle the fact that you are dedicated to your work outs! They are just jealous :p and AFRAID :eek: that you'll be able to kick thier a$$e$ if they get out of line! }( }( }(

Marie--
Glad to see you could pop in. I wish you could meet up with us too! One day though, for sure! Best of luck on the possible promotion as well!
 
Hi Jess Marie and Terri!
It's about time you all showed up! LOL

Jess-the boys go to school a week Wednesday. I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer you get selected! I was up during the night and couldn't get back to sleep so I may take a little nap too.

Thanks for the info Marie. Wish you could come too! I'll also pray for your promotion too! Hey at least you're getting a workout in. A short workout is better than no workout unless you have a good reason. Right? Of course it is.
Marie I am speaking at the Hyde Park Group in Scranton on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 8:30pm. Would you want to come? Just a thought. Getting to meet you will surely take my mind off speaking! LOL

Terri glad you're feeling better. Good idea splitting up your work today. I have been sober for it was just 1 year and 1/2 on August 13th. That's nice you get to hang out with your son. And to hell with any guys that can't handle your workout obsession! LOL.
Someone will come along. Maybe someone with a workout obsession too!

Kali, I will PM you about the Hyde Park thing. I would LOVE to hear you speak! I don't think I have been to that group, though....

Marie
 
Marie-Good luck on the promotion! :)
Kali-Does it bother you that your Dh still drinks?
Wendy-I looked at your pics again and you really do look great! I know it may not seem like it to you but you do:)

Ok I ran on the treadmill and it was hard a first. Then I toned it down a notch and it went better. I will ease back into it. I did an hour though:) Just not at the intensity I am use to.
Still planning on weights later!

Terri
 
Hi Terri~
Yes easing into it will probably be best. Your body is still weak from being sick. So take it easy. Good job tho running for an hour!

To answer your question about my DH. No. It doesn't bother me that he still drinks, I accept that. What bothers me is he does not care if it bothers me or not. We get along great, we just literally live in two different worlds and meet in the middle. And I'm finding I'm not sure if I like "our" world anymore. It's not easy, but I am determined to be a good Mom for my boys. And I feel they need both of us right now. So who knows what God's will is. I know whatever He brings me to, He'll bring me thru.

Have fun with your weight work.

Kali

Kali what a wonderful thing to say and a wondeful attitude!

Terri
 
Kali,

Sounds like your going thru some trials, but you have a great attitude to start with! You have a very sweet spirit about you and it shows thru your post! I love reading your post!

Charlotte~~
 
Thanks girls. You have no idea how much you all help me get thru some of these days. My AA friends and you guys are like my life line. And I really mean it. I'm so glad we started this summer check in.

Hello again ladies!

So I did the power circuit, UB and abs of Body Max this morning and 20-30 mins of Step Works this afternoon.(I don't believe I posted that already in this thread today but if I did, I'm sorry for being such a dork! LOL)

First time doing SW today and it boggled my mind!!! Well, the first combo I did okay on but combo # 2!? FORGET IT I TELL YA! LOL I did okay for the first part of combo 2 but at some point I got really mad and skipped to the cool down! :eek: x( :p I got atleast 20 mins of cardio in though so it's okay. :)

Tomorrow is straight cardio AND it's OFFICIAL "check-in with myself" day for weighing and measuring (both body fat % and inches)!!! Keep your fingers crossed that I get good results!:)

TTYL!
 
Hi all

Marie - good to hear you are doing good. I will definitely keep my fingers crossed that you get that promotion.

Terri - getting back into workouts after being sick or a break always is hard. i always get frustrated even though it's not my fault and there is nothing I can do about it except ease back in.
I am not married, but live with my boyfriend, so I don't know if that qualifies me as single. but I am definitely not married.

I ordered some Janis Saffel kickboxing dvds and they arrived today so hopefully I will get my puzzle mats soon and I can try out the dvds and get back to cathe cardio. no one works you as hard as cathe!

Kali - Congratulations on your 1 1/2 year anniversary. You have a great attitude and I hope you and your DH will work through this tough time.

Wendy - good luck tomorrow. it sounds like you will get some good results tomorrow.
