Just popping in real quick. I have a MEGA busy day today.
I did my new Crunch Boot Camp video yesterday. OUCHIE!! I've got some sore muscles today, but I really liked it. I think I only have time for the 8 minute Tae Bo today. Like I said, I have so much to do today and tomorrow, you might not hear from me for a day or two, so I hope everyone is doing well.
Talk at ya later,
Jen
Good Afternoon Ladies
Semo - The work load depends on the weather... When the weather is real cold or real hot (over 100) the power plants are usually on a "hands off" so no maintenance is done, that means no parts are being used or bought. But when the weather is mild usually spring & fall, that is when they bring units down & do maintenance. We have 15 plants & 3 lignites... & unfortunately they all try and do maintenance during March - May... & then again Sept. - Nov. So those are my busy times.
Anne - you are so right in exercising. My mother is 70 years old & she goes line dancing 3 times a week & walks the other two days. She can run circles around me. Exercise is the key to keeping our bones healthy...
Hi girls.
Hope you are all keeping well. I can not stop long as it is after midnight and I really need my beauty sleep
I had another good day but the weekend is coming up and that is when I will be tested
OK will talk to you all in the morning

Good morning ladies. Hopr you all are feeling in good form today.
I had about 6 hours beauty sleep - need much much more
Hoping to stick to points today but I am feeling like eating something at the moment and I only had my breakfast about an hour ago I suppose this is when I should go and have a glass of water
My two who are at university get their Easter holidays today and I will probably not be able to call in just when I like as there is usually a big demand for the computer but it will be nice to have them home (for a wee while)
Must rush and make my daughter's lunch for school.
Will hopefully get calling later.
Anne
Happy Friday Morning. We are busy here at work today, and I was hoping that I might get to leave early today. Dang it. I have such a good boss, he lets me pretty much do as I please, but then I try not to take advantage of him.
I won't be around this weekend to check in as we are going to Nashville. So I'll be back on Monday. So just in case I don't get back.
Good morning Patty, Jen, Lauri, Barb and Semo ( you lucky thing - heading off to Nashville) Hope you have a safe journey.
It is another nice morning here today.
You ladies will be starting to think that the weather is always nice in Ireland Well it's not true.
I am so proud of myself as I have kept to my points, exercised and watered myself properly for 3 days I forgot to journal yesterday but I know exactly what I ate and I will write it down this morning That is a record for me and all I have to do is cope with today and tomorrow as that is where the challenge will test me most.
Must run now. Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend.

Just wanted to pop in and say HI to everyone! It has been a hectic couple of days, and the next few aren't looking much easier. I woke up feeling lazy and unmotivated, but managed to make myself do my exercise anyway, and I'm glad I did. I feel so much better for having done it. Otherwise I'm sure I'd have just sat around like a big 'ol lump all day.
I've been doing my new Crunch Boot Camp video. It is only 30 minutes, but MAN does it make you sweat! My muscles feel like shakey jell-o when I'm done.
Anyhoo, I'm off for now. I check in again when I can.

hello!! Yesterday I received my Leslie Sansone Video, so far I really like it! I also bought a new bicycle which I love!! It's hot pink LOL! ( I live in a house with my husband and our 2 sons, so I buy pink stuff to keep them from using it LOL!!)
And I even bought a helmet to set a good example. ;-)
I rode for awhile yesterday and my bottom is sore from the seat. Hope to get used to that right quick.
May I just interject: "Go Hoosiers!!" As you can tell from my nickname I am from Indiana, even though I live in Wyoming at the moment!
Jehari, how's the back coming along?
Semo, have fun in Nashville!! I haven't been there in 30 years.
mooz: Top O' the Morning to ya! ;-)
hey 1 day!!! How have you been doing?
Barb: the Walk Away.. video I bought is 4 miles. (eek!) She also throws a little jogging in for torture, er I mean good measure.
bye girls!!
have a great Sunday!!

Why is it that at weekends it is so difficult to keep in control?
I was at an Ann Summers party last night and had a few fattening nibbles that I did not need at all.
Today I ate an apple and cream puff and a chocolate iced bun that had been begging me to eat them since yesterday.
So now I need to stop before I get totally out of control again.
It really helps to get me motivated when I come on to this thread and read about the exercise that you girls are doing. :wink:
I can't do my Tae Bo as there are too many in the house today but I hope to go for a couple of two mile walks.
Will call in later if I get a chance.

My back is coming along nicely. It still gives me a little twinge here and there, but it isn't slowing me down anymore. I feel much better!!
I tried the other Crunch video that I bought today. This one is called Cardio sculpt. It's another tough one. I got really sweaty and my muscles feel like limp noodles again, but I really like this one too. I think I may have to invest in a couple more of those Crunch videos. I hope to start seeing some shrinkage in the inches soon. I can't hope for too much loss on the scale I guess if I'm building muscle, but I need to see results SOMEWHERE!!
Good morning girls.
Weather is wet and miserable here today but I musn't let it get me down as I need to get right back on track after the weekend.
Jen - glad to hear that your back is much better and that you are able to do your exercises again
Lauri - I take it "Hoosiers" are a football from Indiana and that they have won a game of some sort! Glad you like your bike - I never could get the hang of riding a bike properly.
Gotta rush off now - will call later.

Good Morning to all! Hubby and I had a fun time in Nashville, we went to a hockey game Saturday nite. Nashville won so that was great. We went by to see the kids new house and it is wonderful, and in a great neighborhood. We gave them their wedding gift (cash) so they were thrilled and will purchase some things that they are needing. I plan to go back on Thursday, May 2nd and help with moving. The movers will be there but I can help clean everything and unpack kitchen boxes as they are so busy. I'm very pleased with my future DIL, we love her more each time we are together. Hope I make a good MIL.
Really didn't do to bad eating, oh I could have ate less but think that I stayed within limits. No exercise to speak of other than walking around a mall.
Today is the end of this months closing so I have to run and get those last invoices through. Have a great day.
BTW, it's raining here again too. The weekend was beautiful, we had to wear our sun glasses all the time. (we felt like moles after so many cloudy days)
Good Afternoon Ladies
I had a busy & fattening weekend. I ended up buying some easter egg candy & what do you think happened. I ate the whole bag. Then I felt so guility I opened the other bag & ate some of that too. I finally threw the rest away. Other than the candy I ate pretty good. I did not exercise though. I have got to get back on track.
Semo - I'm glad to hear you had a great trip. I'm sure your son finds it comforting to know you like his fiance. Why are they in Nashville?
Anne - the Hoosier are a college basketball team. In the sports world this month is know as "March Madness" about 64 college teams play in a tournment & it ends up with 4 top teams one from each region..this is know at the "Final Four". The Hoosiers made it to the final 4. It is a big thing if your into basketball. I'm sure Lauri can tell you more.
Lauri - You might look into getting a bike seat cover. You can get them in the sporting good stores, the seat covers have gel in them & they make riding more comfortable.
Jen - I'm glad to hear your back is feeling better. Keep up the exercise & you'll start to see the results..
well I need to run...talk to you all later..
