Good Morning Ladies.
Holly, hope the move goes well..... if it is labor intense enough.... that can be part of the work out..... Good luck on your challenge, I know you can do it! Are you working out 7 days a week or just your normal days?

CC: I would be loving the sleeping in--- but like you.... hating the "shift work".

I gotta run and get busy.... talk to you later.

Hey yall, I went to the gym 2 days IN A ROW!!!!!! Hope all is well with everyone

VermontMom · 11-05-2009, 09:42 AM

good morning chicks

congrats Mandy, workin the gym two days in a row!

Tammy, how can a human body do bootcamp and not even break a sweat

CChick, sorry that you have to work some 10-7's, its hard to adjust to when you have to change your schedule.

I helped friend pack/move from 10 to 4, I am hoping it did count for a workout because there was a lot of lifting and flight of stairs to navigate each time up and down. My biceps are the only thing that are a little sore today. I could have squeezed in a 30 Day Shred when I got home at around 5, but then we had a motorcycle organization meeting that we had to leave for at 6, yada yada.

My girlfriend, who I was helping, she is in a situation that is sad. She and her (at the time) boyfriend bought a nice mobile home that was 35 miles from where she works; she made the concession because it was close to the boyfriend's college and the boyfriend's son. The BF graduated college; and then 'something' happened ( I never asked for details, but it was the BF ending relationship) and they split up.

So I don't know how the house was split up, but it became GF's responsibility to sell it. She found a cute apartment very close to her work, and the house has been on market for almost a year, and has come close a few times to selling, but not yet. There were some people renting it briefly, who wanted to buy it, but they couldnt' swing it, and they moved out. So GF had been making the mortgage payments plus paying her apartment rent, and she just can't do that anymore, and has to move back into the house. With all the memories of her and BF there, and she has the 70 mile round trip to her work.

So it is very stressful for her, and it was her mother, myself, and another GF helping her yesterday; but her mother was asking a million questions and I could see GF was wearing down, and then the other girlfriend who can be very self-centered, was not tactful and said some untactful things and after she left, GF just broke down and cried her heart out. I held her and hugged her and after a few minutes, she gathered herself and just picked herself up and continued on.

Something very funny happened before that, though. She had checked with the store owner next door and got permission for us to look in his cardboard dumpster for boxes. We lifted the cover from one side, and got some good boxes, then saw others on the bottom, on the other side. GF gave me a boost up, and I rested my waist on the top of the dumpster and bent down and was able to reach the boxes, but 2 quarters fell out.

Now, come on...why did I think it was worth it to get those quarters?? But I did. I got boosted up again, and two GF's held me by my ankles!!! and I reach down and got the quarters

I was able to pull myself back up by using abs (Now I know why I work out!

) and it was pretty funny.

ok, thanks for listening

I have a hair appt. today, a trim and freshen up my highlights. Have a great day 8)

Good Morning Girls-

Great Job Mandy 2 days to the gym is great

Holly so sorry to hear about your friend but from the sounds of it she is very strong and will make things work out, I am sure the house is in her name and she doesn't want to ruin her credit so that gives her no choice but to move back in instead of having one mortage and rent, anyways my heart goes out to her
But great job on getting those quarters, I can tell in pictures that you do work on those abs because it shows

Ok well off to get ready for work- have a great day

ladyrider72472 · 11-05-2009, 10:57 AM

Mandy, Woo Hoo! That is great that you got back on the wagon before the holidays... many people would have given up..... but not a biker chick! Good Job.

Same with you Holly...... see, all those mornings when you didn't want to work out paid off big time (well really only .50), but the thought of you hanging by your ankles and getting back up was worth a big laugh

.... just kidding. You know, when I am in bootcamp and sweatting like a pig and wishing I was in bed something my son told me runs through my head.... he said "mom, I knew you could lose the weight b/c you are stubborn...... and how many other _____ year old mothers can lose 75 pounds without surgery and can keep up with younger girls in bootcamp (except I cannot kick as high as they do--I have the balance of a 90 year old). So, after that little ramble..... fill in the blank..... Holly how many ______ year old ladies can be held by their ankles (which says something in itself that you are not "heavy"), and use their AB MUSCLES to get back up? Not many...... I am 36 and I even though I have been going to BC and doing ab work for 5 months straight, I am not sure I could....... And Holly, I hate it for your friend..... but I know you are a good friend and you will give her all the support she needs..... but here is an extra

for her.

Same with you Reda, with you doing the scuba stuff, I could not do a mile in 12 minutes..... or even close.... You rock!

Man..... we are some tough ole' birds (I use the ole lightly)

Well, I am going to get on with my day. Talk to you ladies later.

VermontMom · 11-05-2009, 09:09 PM

good evening chicks! thanks for sharing my laugh about the dumpster

and yeah, Tammy, how cool is it to have your teenage son proud of his mom at Boot Camp! We are all tough chicks, regardless of age right

today's exercise was Gilad's Fat Burning Workout, its about 10 minutes of warm up, then 30 minutes of aerobics, then 5 min. cooldown. I do remember when I was at least 15 or 20 pounds heavier, that I would attempt this workout, and just couldn't do the jumpy parts, either because I just didn't have the strength, or that I felt like my female insides were going to fall out :shock: or that I couldn't bear my abdomen shaking so badly. Yay for improvements!

Plus I raked leaves again, the same area I did a couple weeks ago

I chose to IGNORE THE SNOW FLURRIES that started falling

they fizzled out but bleh!

Got my hair done (trim and highlites) and that always feels good, doesn't it.

Have a great night girls

VermontMom · 11-06-2009, 07:22 AM

Good morning friends

first, prayers for those affected by the Fort Hood shootings

Forgot to mention that a lady called me earlier this week, I had worked for her husband in a bakery about 13 years ago, and she thought of me to call, because her teenaged daughter wants to learn cake decorating. I am feeling good about my flexibility in earning a few extra $ between this, and 'home waitress' thing this Saturday.

DH and I did outside work yesterday, I was very very glad that DH initiated this, so I wouldn't have to nag

The garbage can that had the skunk in it is finally airing out.

not much else to say yet. Will tell ya what exercise I do, after I do it.

VermontMom · 11-06-2009, 09:16 AM

30 Day Shred Level 3, and then some ab work.

ladyrider72472 · 11-06-2009, 09:56 AM

I agree, first of all, prayers to ALL of the families affected by the Fort Hood tragedy. Our soldiers and their families do not need things like this on our own soil.
Holly, Yay on the extra job.... You go girl..... you never know where these opportunities may lead you..... just think, someone like Oprah could eat a cake of yours and you would be set for life!

I just want to say..... it feels sooo much better being a "fit mom" than a "fat mom". I never knew how much it impacted my boys until I lost the weight. I was so selfish all those years stuffing my face--- when I should have been out running and playing with them. BUT, (I hope not anytime in the near future)-- I will be a fit grandma! I will run and play with my gkids.

I hope everyone has a good day! Next Friday (13th) DH and I will hit the six month mark. We may take a trip this weekend on the bikes though b/c it is supposed to rain (shock shock) off and on next week and weekend.

ChopperChick355 · 11-06-2009, 11:06 PM

Hi Girlies

Yes first off sending thoughts and prayers to those in Texas. It is just so sad

Holly that is great that you are getting some extra side jobs, money is always welcome

Tammy you are rockin and rollin you will be there in no time and it is great that the boys do notice

We finally had 70 degree weather today so went and picked up my bike and rode it home- yay tomorrow we will be 61 but I do have to work from 2pm -11pm arrgh and then Sunday well back down to 50 degrees with a chance of rain - darn it

Again great job Holly on your exercise routine

Talk to you guys tomorrow have a great night

ladyrider72472 · 11-07-2009, 09:04 AM

Yay Chopper Chick! Glad you got to ride 'er home.

We have sun until Monday...... then rain all next week. I am soooo tired of rain. There is still cotton in the fields which is normally gone the first couple weeks of October. Man, it is rough on the farmers this year. If you need cotton..... I would think you need to get it now..... it will go up if they don't get it out of the field.

I have to run...... got things to do today.

Wish me luck... I am on day 6 of a no binge challenge.

VermontMom · 11-08-2009, 12:16 AM

good (late) evening chicks! First, CONGRATS Reda on getting your bike back, and riding it back! That must have felt great especially with 70 degrees.

Tammy, keep on rockin with your no - binge challenge!

I did the home waitressing thing tonight - Oh My God. Their house is HUGE. Definitely in the multi million dollar range. I thought it was a hotel as I drove almost by it, trying to find it. But so beautiful inside, not cold and impersonal like some immense houses.

So I helped her put the the appetizers and then the main food; greeted people and took their coats if she (Barb) was occupied; asked people if they wanted ice water with their dinner; cleared dinner dishes and helped Barb get dessert out; I then put dinner dishes and flatware into dishwasher and washed by hand all the serving platters and bowls while they had dessert; then cleared dessert things; washed the dessert things by hand (because dishwasher was still going) washed the stemware by hand; picked up napkins and placemats and put them in the laundry room; pushed chairs back into place.

I told Barb $15 and hour; I was there 3 hours, and she insisted on giving me $60. And she said she was very happy with me, and would I do it again? I said sure

Then one of her guests asked for my name and number - you were right, weren't you Tammy! So we'll see. They ARE Montreal jewish ladies, which means they are rather picky and particular, but I guess I can deal with that.

I slept late this morning and didn't work out, so there goes my exercise challenge

but I'll not beat myself up about it. I do need to work out tomorrow though.

sleep tight

VermontMom · 11-08-2009, 09:33 AM

good morning chicks

it is 48 and sunny!!! I think I have to ride to work today. It will be great on the way, it will be full-on dark on the way home, but I will be careful.

gotta work out now!!

ladyrider72472 · 11-08-2009, 03:31 PM

Yay Holly! $60 free and clear is not too shabby..... and the thought of you getting more work is even better. I knew you sounded like a personable person and you would do great at it..... woo hoo! I am glad you got to ride to work too!

I am on day 7 of being binge free. I have eaten more than I do through the week...... but I have not gone on my eating frenzy. It really does feel good to be in control. I am shooting for another week. My next goal is binge free until the Sunday before Thanksgiving (Wayne's yearly family get together).

We have had TWO beautiful days! The farmers are in the fields and bikes are out everywhere. Rain is on it's way tomorrow

We have riden both days and it is wonderful!

Mandy, how are things with your daughter? I was thinking of that on my ride yesterday. I hope you are getting to ride occasionally b/c it sure does clear the cob webs out of the mind--- and if even for a few minutes it gives you some stress relief.

Reda, have you caught up at work since you took off yet?

ChopperChick355 · 11-08-2009, 07:54 PM

Hello, well Friday and Saturday we had such super great weather and I had to work - darn it- Friday at least I got to pick up my bike but yesterday they all rode to the store to visit me on their bikes just rubbing it in

So I told DH that we were riding today and we did it didn't get to 60 today but it was still nice we only rode like 70 miles but hey it is November.....

Holly that is great $60 bucks for a few hours and to also get your name out there, I bet that other lady gives you a call as well, you go girl
Nice to hear that both of you are getting to ride as well our days are really getting limited thats for sure

Well we all did alot of talking the last few days and I think we are going to do a Canada trip next summer instead of the whole week in Sturgis we will end up in Sturgis for one or two nights on our way back home, I will have to ride with DH though because my bike is not practical for a trip like that however another couple will haul it to Sturgis for me so that it is there when we get there- YAY

So that is the plan as of now I will start hatching out some details for everyone in the next couple of weeks

Well girls I suppose I should think about getting some laundry done I will check back in later - Have a Great Week
