Hey CC! Glad to see you back. Girl, you have done awesome maintaining through all of the stress you have had! I remember the 15-16 hour days and I believe I put on about 25 pounds during them..... so kudos to you for maintaining! And congrats to your son for winning first place!
I have decided my pride is not worth missing out on riding so I will ride when they get the wheel bearing fixed and the new wheel on. It has been good riding weather up until today and I didn't have "Ms. Dyna" (Holly named my bike and did not know it). My DH said maybe the HD dealership will drop something on the other side of the tank and they will have to replace it.... that would be funny!
I think that is a great buy for Vegas tickets..... unless you ride bikes
I was reading another thread and saw a thread on points cycling. Have you all read this? I think I am going to do a form of it. I was doing this before I started 3fc and was losing steady..... I am having problems getting back on it since back from Vegas.
Oh, I am sore as all get out from boot camp. Tomorrow is arm day...... I am sore everywhere but my calves and my head..... but I am going. I really liked it. I am sure I look like a doof doing it, but oh well.
I am going to shower---- I am tired and I have to get up early to go to boot camp.
good afternoon chicks Our insurance is with Dairyland (they're from Wisconsin)
I'm glad I was instrumental in naming your bike, Tammy! LOL, *I guess* at the thought of an HD tech dropping something and then they're responsible Poor you, being sore all over except your head I will remember that one and use it someday
congrats again on new store opening, CChick, and for dh's win! HI Mandy! And now we're all on Facebook. Have to warn you though that I'm a poop and never respond to all the requests, drinks, glitter-throwing, quizzes, you know all those invites
I have off today, it is beautiful out and I geared up (boots, work gloves, eye protection) to cut the grass but the #@%$^&*!@#%@^+$#@ mower won't start, as usual!!! this ALWAYS happens when I'm alone, and don't have anyone to help. God knows I have Some arm strength but there's something about pulling the starting cord JUST right with aLOT of strength and snap and I JUST CAN'T DO IT and I shouldn't care, except when you've accepted that you have to do a chore that is kinda strenous and at least an hour long, then you CANT follow through....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr can you tell how frustrated I am
We were at our Motorcycle Rights Organization meeting last night, and someone made the motion that husband and I should be given a free ticket for our annual Harley raffle, for our work/dedication on doing the meal for the event each year. Pretty kewl! tickets are $100, we usually buy at least one, sometimes 2 if it was a good economy, but I was very happy to graciously accept the gift.
I didn't work out on Tuesday morning; took an almost walk with husband and dog in the evening instead; and didn't do anything yesterday; so today I did Level 3 of The Shred; then Gilads Hips Thighs and Buns tape (20 min) and then some Cathe abs (about 9 minutes) and now from yankin on that @$%^&*!*^$@!#$ mower that got my heart rate up and my arm sore so that is my workout for today.
Hello well it is 2:30 in the afternoon and I am already home and logged on
Our motocycle insurance is through State Farm- Everything we own is through State Farm, DH has been with them since he was 14 years old.
I do have to follow suit with Holly, I do reply to messages but I usually ignore all the requests of drinks, quizzes, and tests.
It is gorgeous out today so getting the bike out to go tan since I didn't go last night. I am starting my exercise today with Wii Active it is the new part of the Wii Fitness that came out so giving it a try then tonight DH and I will start walking again
Mowing it does seem like everytime I go to mow I am home alone and my mower won't start so then I have to dig the charger out because we have way to much to mow by push mower so we have a rider but still it is a pain in the butt when they don't start...... Pulling and Pulling though is alot of work in itself- Kudos to you Holly
Girls, I am with you too. I don't send quizzes or anything like that. I have taken a couple b/c they were medical quizzes and I took one other one, but I consider them like "forwards", I am not real fond of them.
Today was arms day, it was not as hard as legs. It was okay. I made a horrible mistake though..... I stepped on the scale and I am a bit discouraged. My eating is so bad--- it shows a 5 pound gain.... on top of what I have gained and lost from Vegas. I am starting tomorrow anew with eating. I cannot let this get out of hand. Tomorrow is legs day at bootcamp too. I ran into my old WW leader there. It was good to see her. I felt bad b/c I did not lose the weight under her "direction" b/c she is awesome, but when I had so much to lose it just seemed impossible with "points".
My ins is with progressive, we were looking around, but I think we are going to stay there.
Holly.... at least you are getting an arm workout with the lawn mower. Sorry you had issues with it though.
Well just thought I would drop in before heading off to bed. I am scheduled to be off work tomorrow but I am going to drive about 60 miles to pick up bonus checks so that next week I can had them out to managers. I hope they are good but really any bonus is just that a bonus....
It will pay for our plane tickets plus food to Vegas in October. We are going to buy tickets tomorrow and I am hoping to surprise DH but somehow I will have to get him the time off work???? All the guys there can't keep anything quiet so it won't work for me to just tell them he needs off without
them asking DH what for....
Well I am going to do a little shopping tomorrow as well so I probably won't log on till afternoon time- Have A Great Friday!!!
CC- have a great Friday off! And you are right...... any bonus is good.
Gosh, boot camp was brutal today. The guy that does it kinda "raps" while doing it. I know this place would not be such a success if not for him. While I was in the floor dying in "ab pain" from Tuesday (yes, from that pain), he was doing his little rap sayin..... girls if you want to be little-- stay away from the McGriddles--- and the skittles...... but while I was lying there in pain I was thinking, come on Tammy this is going to pay off! New leather-- hot leather, you will be the hawt biker, smaller jeans, cute clothes, feel better, not the fat girl and NOT OBESE in the doctor charts- things were all running through my head. I could not have made it if not! I was dying I tell ya! If I was a quitter, that would be the time! I can't tell you how bad my body was rebelling and cursing But, I made it! I did it! Now, thank God it is Friday and I don't have to do it again until Monday.... actually it is not something I dread to do.... I like the "runners high" I get from it afterwards.
Well, I will quit rambling about boot camp. Before I go.... there is a slight "chance" I may get my bike back this afternoon. We are going to Memphis so DH can go to the WL doctor and we are going to drop by to see if it is ready. I hate to drive Ms. Dyna with a dent in the tank, but I really like her and the stress relief I get from riding. So, I will ride but everytime I see someone stare..... I am telling them I did NOT lay her over!
CC- I can't pull off a surprise either for DH (gosh that is weird to say). His co workers (cops) cannot keep a secret from each other for nothing in the world. His valentine's day present blew up in my face BIG time! I know they wouldn't keep a trip secret. I hope you have fun and much needed stress relief and relaxation..... even if its not until October
good afternoon chicks! I think it is so funny that guys can't keep secrets worth a hoot, either YES any bonus is always appreciated!!!
This morning I did get up on time (5:00 a.m.) and after the requisite coffee and web surfing, I did Keli Roberts Step Aerobics tape, and held hand weights, and did the whole thing. My legs and butt are feeling yesterday's Gilad workout. ow-eee.
Poor Tammy, getting rapped at I'm sorry but with the McGriddles and Skittles and gettin little - I think I would have lost it but I know laughing uses ab muscles too, so that probably would have hurt too much KUDOS to you for attending boot camp! and I know that I also HATE HATE HATE seeing the scale go up, but we know the scale does wild and crazy fluctuations sometimes that do not reflect truly on what we have been eating, so I'm glad you don't sound discouraged, you sound determined which is great.
Today it was chilly on the way to work, not much sun and still only about 47 degrees, but it has warmed all the way to low 70's and it felt so good to not have to wear chaps on the way home.
well have a nice afternoon and evening chicks. Enjoy your shopping tomorrow, CChick!
Hello just got home from shopping - I was only going to be shopping till noon but it ended up being until 5pm. I bought the boys lots of clothes not much for me that is ok, it was relaxing for the most part.
Well getting bike out and riding to Tanworld to tan for 5 minutes then home to exercise- I started the Wii Active yesterday and boy the squats kicked my butt or should I say legs they hurt like crazzzzy today.
DH went golfing so I will log back on later - hope you are having a good Friday so far
Tammy hopefully you get to go riding then - Not here it is 40 degrees and rainy- The races haven't been cancelled yet they will decide at 2pm - It is way to cold to be racing tonight or even just sitting there. Besides today is Karls 20th Birthday, he says count down is on now only 1 year left before he is 21- he doesn't even really drink....
Well I suppose I need to get going we have to go get river cabin cleaned so we can get furniture moved in and start going to the river on Fridays when there are no races.
good evening chicks! Yay that Ms. Dyna is back! and Happy Birthday to CChick's son
Today we had a great ride, we rode down to Killington where a friend is going to be set up as a vendor at the Killington Classic bike show this September. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and we took Route 100 which is just a great bike road, nothing but farms, forests, fields, cows, red barns, white churches and village greens, etc. It's about 80 miles there, so it was a nice long ride. There were 9 bikes.
One of the riders, an experienced 50-ish guy, dropped his bike as we entered a parking lot! He got it right back up but scraped up his hand a little. Just goes to show that all it takes is a crazy parking lot angle, some loose gravel/sand and anyone can have a little spill.
This morning for exercise I did 30 DS, Level 2. I do find that program so convenient, cause it's so quick.
Good Morning, nice to hear that someone is getting to go for a ride Not here again today it is still cold, wet and cloudy
I did however get all laundry, dishes and email done this morning so now the rest of the day is relax time, but I do have to make a trip to walmart at some point, DS just reminded me that we are on our last bar of body soap and we go through a bar a week.
Well I am going to go for my walk again today, races got cancelled last night and I am kinda hoping they get cancelled tonight to but not as of yet
And congrats to your son for winning first place! 
Our insurance is with Dairyland (they're from Wisconsin) 
Poor you, being sore all over except your head 
I will remember that one and use it someday
but the #@%$^&*!@#%@^+$#@ mower won't start, as usual!!! 
while doing it. I know this place would not be such a success if not for him. While I was in the floor dying in "ab pain" from Tuesday (yes, from that pain), he was doing his little rap sayin..... girls if you want to be little-- stay away from the McGriddles--- and the skittles...... but while I was lying there in pain
