Welcome Rakkoon, it is good to have you.

RR, Yes I am out of the pool and hot tub. Yesterday was crazy, and I did not get a chance to post. I read everyone elses though.

We are still moving our offices, now it is just the little stuff. Also everyone is arrainging (sp?) their offices to their tastes. Oh joy, Oh thrill.

I wish I didn't have to go in to work today, I would go back into the pool and work out those sore muscles. It is mainly in my lower back. I should see if they have one of those dorky belts that is supposed to protect your back. I don't care if I look like a dork anymore. (Amazing what age will do to you. )

Well I need to get ready. cya'll later.

Hello everyone!

I have now exercised for three days in a row! Whohoo! I did awesome today. I've been doing a bit more each day. I'm walking on the treadmill. Today I warmed up (Incline 2/speed 2) for 9 minutes, increased speed (2.5) for 16 minutes and then cooled down (Incline gradual to 0/speed 2) for 5 minutes. I felt really good about the workout. I have discovered that if I excercise while Alex is napping it works out much better. Last night he spent the whole last 1/2 of the session hanging off the fence (the playroom is seperated from the treadmill with a long baby gate/playyard thingee) and wailing. It made the workout extremely long and difficult.

Rakoon: Welcome! I'm sure that scales can break. They are probably made to wear out after so long so that we spend money on new ones!

RR: Yikes on the allergies and the nightmares. Those have got to be really tuff to deal with.

Lauren: Hope something new is around the corner for you!

OK, gotta go check on the sleepy boy!

I finally worked out this morning. I got really lazt since my stroller broke last week. Since this was the first time in a week, I was hating every minute of it. But I got through it. My stroller will hopefully be delivered tomarrow. So I will get back on track. Its a jogging stroller, big difference from the normal one (Graco single). This one is a doub;e stroller. We chose this one b/c we are planning on getting prego soon

Hello to everyone. Today was just about hard on my body. I continued to move items and boxes from one place to the other. And if that wasn't abusive enough, I went to the gym and worked out on the machines after work. I know that it was the best thing for me, but I still hurt. Tommorrow after work I am definatly going into the pool.

KK, good for you! Working out 3 days in a row is great! Do you vary your routine? I dont think that I could do the same thing over and over again.

Rakkoon, Congrats on getting back into the swing of things. I think that, that is the hardest part - being away from it for a while and then coming back to it. That is what I am doing this week as well. I am trying to get into it before school starts once again.

Well I must be going, talk at ya'll tommorrow.

Good Morning!!! Just checking in!!!
RR

Hi All,

Lisa, You're better than me...I would've not gone, or gone and soaked in the hot tub!!

Rakkoon, Good for you!!

Karen, AWESOME! Every little bit counts!

Here's Robby before bed last night, trying to make a break for it!

Yeay! I they just delivered my stroller this morning. There's a part of me that is like b/c I can't be lazy anymore. The other part is like lets go! its about 50/50. Since it came at this time, the sun already came out and its starting to get hot now. I will probably do it tonight or wait till tomarrow morning. I will definately do my tae bo.

Lauren, what a cutie! Oh he looks so adorable. Makes me almost want to have one. Almost! He He He I think that he is trying to chew his way out.

I should have sat in the hot tub. I did 40 lbs. on each machine and today I am hurting. Actuallly it isn't all that bad, the only areas that are effected by it is upper chest and around the armpit area. The right side hurts worse. (I think thats because I am left handed.)

Anyways, I dont have to be back at work until the start of school which is the 29th. So I have a week to relax from that stress and go to the gym more and get my muscles used to it. I think thats whats going on.

Hello to everyone else.

Hi everyone, I weighed in last night and lost 2.5 lbs! I did boxing three times in the past week, and had a couple of bad days. I upped my water intake and it looked like it worked!

CLL, Congrats on the loss. That is great news! I have found that water intake does make a difference.

Hello to everyone else.

Hi All,

Just popping in to say, I got laid off last night!!!

LBH- I'm sorry that happened. Were you prepared for that or was it out of the blue?
I hope things start looking up soon.

I started walking this morning.

Lauren, I guess you could say that it was a blessing in disguise. I know that you hated it, still it must sting a little. Hope some of your prospects work out. Hope you find a job soon.

I myself have not been back to the gym. I am too sore. I mad the mistake of lifting 40 lbs, right off the bat. Not smart. I can do more with my legs, however I should have only done like 20 or 30 or something in between. Oh well, ya live and learn.

LBH - I noticed you seemed happy about the lay off. So were you hoping for it?

Werent you the one that just moved your office or was that someone else - I play **** keeping all you gals straight

Anyway - I am glad you are happy about it. Been there - and at the time was not happy - felt rug yanked from under me - but then began to enjoy time off - UI was good and the timing was good - so I took a long vacation. Then got bored and money got tight and then I found the job I have which is the best ever so it all worked out and I couldnt be happier.

The job I lost was sucking anyway and I wasnt happy - but I got railroaded and that pissed me off - oh well - Say la vee (spelled wrong I know)

Hi Guys,

I rode my bike (with the little guy in a trailer) around the neighborhood today. Yikes. Does my bike ever hurt my coochie. I have a gel seat, although it is around 8 or 9 years old. I don't know what to do to keep that sensitive area safe.

Lauren: Sorry about your being fired. Were you expecting it? Do you have something else lined up? You seemed happy!

Lisa: Sorry about the soreness. Hope it's worked out soon.

Hello to everyone!
