Helo girls just a quickie here, thanks for the birthday wishes, I've had a nice day, got some nice pressies... and a nice loss on the scales this morning.. 2 lbs But, and it's a big one it'll all be back tomorrow cos we had chinese tonight for my birthday meal... so I'll retain all the salt....but still... it is my birthday... love the new smilies... will play with them tomorrow.
Knee report: Was crying with frustration about it last night, was feeling it up until about 15 minutes into class, but was still taking it easy. This morning it's fine. I'm still planning on the tournament on Sun but will take next week off kickboxing if it's no better.
Apart from that, no real news!!!! I have the Rocky theme tune going round in my head - getting hyped up for the tourney methinks!
It's still freezing here today, I've got three layers on and wore long johns to bed last night (dead sexy I know).
I'm dead pleased with myself this morning, I did my first squats today and managed 3 sets of 50 lbs! . I also did kickbacks today for the first time ever and can happily say that these are the devils work. I'm loving this new strength program the gym put together for me.
Talked to the body shop about the car yesterday, it's going to be the first week in March until we get it back . We're using our old truck to carpool in which actually rattles when we drive it. I'll be glad to have the mazda back, it's got Sirius so I can listen to Radio 1 on the way to work .
The new baby goats are coming on nicely, we have a girl and a boy and have named them Huey and Hannah. Huey is the spitting image of his dad, identical markings only Huey is black and white whereas Horatio is lots of brown/caramels/white. Hannah is a carbon copy of her mum and older sisters. I'll get some photo's taken this weekend and post one.
Freezing here too... wind chill is wicked. I went to curves and every time someone came in I wanted to jump off my station and grab them by the neck for not pulling the door closes behind them... the cold air blowing in was horrible.
Jen, take it easy with that knee luv, if it's still gippy next week, maybe you should think about seeing the doctor?
Lynne, Huey and Hannah hey. I like I'll tell my daughter there's a goat with her name... she'll be impressed.
Well I've got some housework to do as I did not one thing yesterday, it being my birthday and all... I didn't even clean the telly screen which is so dusty Oprah had stripes across her face... it's from the fire place.. and I sat all night looking at the dust while watching my progs.lazy or what?
Hello, I'm skiving work in my hotel room. My meeting actually finished at 1, but I decided there would be no point me driving back up north to get back at about 3.30 (particularly as I set off at 7.30) then to drive back down here again, so I didn't... I've got my laptop anyway, so I'm going to type up my meeting notes, and I just spoke to my trainee to give her a bit of a pointer on what to do. It's not like I'm entirely skiving... apart from the hour I just spent on the treadmill in the hotel gym that is! I wanted to do a longer run, but an hour was all I could really face to be honest, so at least that's better than nothing. I was sadly excited when I realised that my room is pretty much next to the gym...
It's going to be an early night tonight, my flight is at 6.45 in the morning, at least I'm only 15 minutes away from the airport!
Just wanted to say - I LOST 2LBS this week. I know it dont seem much but seeing as I've done nothing but gain since christmas its a massive amount for me!
Well I went to the 2 gyms this morning to check them out with my hubbie. He goes 3 times a week with work. There's something about walking into a gym that fills me with dread. So I'm going to give it a try next week fingers crossed. I need to go up there as I'm not doing Curves anymore and it's so b****y cold at the minute I don't want to walk .
I'm slightly bummed - we're not going to the tournament. They don't fight like we do on Sunday when we were planning to go. However they do fight like we do on Saturday, but Lee, having left it too late to actually do anything about it can't get tomorrow off work. If he'd rung the guy in OCTOBER when I FIRST TOLD HIM ABOUT IT then it would've been sorted. I'm only slightly p'd off since I do have my silly knee playing up. I'm so annoyed, why is everyone such a flake.
So I thought I'd google boxing clubs in North London and see what came up, there's this http://www.finchleyboxing.co.uk/home.html which actually looks professional, however there're no girls, which could be fun for me, but I don't know if they'll be able to book me many fights. I think I'm outgrowing MMA, or at least the dis-organised non-productive MMA club that I'm in Thing is I would've been quite happy to organise the tournament and stuff but Lee wanted to do it, so he'll leave it to the day before. He's all talking about "next time" how he'll print T-shirts and hire a mini-bus and all that guff. I think I'm just getting a bit sick of how nothing happens when he says it will. Anyway, enough ranting, I think I might become a boxer
G'morning - hope everyone else feels better than I do. I've got a big attack of the blahs.
Jen - what a shame about your tournament. Lee sounds a bit of a twit. He keeps on doing this kind of thing.... surely he has realised that he's completely disorganised? Can't you gently persuade him to pass over responsibility for that kind of thing to you.
Ellie is in a right ol' state - depressed and restless - and she must be giving off some sort of very strong 'come and get me' scent because every blummin unneutered male dog in the village has visited my front garden - there's one poor little mut who's taken up permanent residence - he's been camped there solidly for two whole days now. I don't want to give him food or water because I don't want to encourage him but I'm getting worried about him as well. I can't get hold of Ellie's owner to ask for permission to get her neutered - I tried phoning him but his mobile is constantly switched off.
All DH says is that its a good job this doesn't happen to human females.
Well I have a bad dose of PMT I am totally embracing it and making myself even worse!!! Mind you I did order some size 10 jeans from Next that just arrived the fit is ok but again the legs aren't reallly tight. I also got a green cotton fitted shirt which is not a ten!!! It's a lovely colour but I am not completely sure about it.
Eating wise I got a grip yesterday, my period is due and I am feeling like crap I could cry all day and if I don't feel like crying I am want to argue.
Well done devilish your great. Sarah poor old Ellie I remember when my Kerry was alive (my rabbit) she used to get really frisky and pester old Rodney (my other rabbit who was murdered that time by a fox) Rodney had his balls chopped but Kerry used to pester him at certain times. My father used to say ahhhhhhhhh I feel sorry for that poor rabbit sure Rodney can't give her want she wants!!!
I'm going to Maine tomorrow for a couple of days. Then I have a lot of rest and relaxation planned.
Didn't workout yesterday but spent a couple of hours with the guys I work with digging my car out of the ice. I didn't do that much though, I tended to just get in the way.
I need to have a good day today, I was pretty bad yesterday, celebrating the first night of vaca. Good thing was I got carded trying to buy a beer. The guy literally wouldn't serve me...I'm like sir I just turned 40. My brother got carded too and he turned 39 a few days ago.
Hoping for some melting today so I can run tomorrow before I leave.
Oh I had to edit this to add that Sarah I think Ellie's owner sounds very irresponsible . And I wanted to ask how Fred and George feel about the suitors in your yard????
Yeah isn't he a twit! I am organising a taster session day, and I kinda said, "Well I can look after it for you if you want..." so he said, "Yeah, cos you know I'm not very good at that sort of thing!" Understatement of the year! Anyway, we'll see what happens with these next tournaments that are coming up, apparently there's loads more coming, so I might get to a tournament at least once before I die! I might still check out that amature boxing club though - that looks a blast and I can do it as well as kickboxing.
Mich - I think I've got a bit of the old PMS too, even though I'm not supposed to get it running my pills together, but Seems like I've been blubbering a lot last night and today!
Anyways, my nice book calls and a doze on the sofa hopefully
But, and it's a big one it'll all be back tomorrow cos we had chinese tonight for my birthday meal... so I'll retain all the salt....but still... it is my birthday... love the new smilies... will play with them tomorrow.
Hello!
I'm still planning on the tournament on Sun but will take next week off kickboxing if it's no better.
. I also did kickbacks today for the first time ever and can happily say that these are the devils work. I'm loving this new strength program the gym put together for me.
