I decided not to go tot he Gym yesterday morning after all and went at night with my husband. He's been wanting to try the Elliptical machine for a while but hasnt because I dont go with him. Lastnight we went I was already on the thing for 45 minutes when he shows up and gets on the machine next to mine. He felt like he was about to fall off and kept saying " no way!" but he lasted 10 minutes andplans to do it again. He's so brave! lol
He loves the weights better but needs to so some cardio workout.
I hate the weights and prefer the cardio. I guess thats why we love each other so much? lol
Today I'm going to the gym at night again. I think I will go back to the park . That's where I used to walk when I was 194 lbs. I knew so many people there walking trying to lose weight. It would be neat tosee if their still around and see the results!
Good morning ladies! I hope I don't get anyone mad but I HATE our cable company. Can any of them read. I left specific instructions about what time to be at my house. Do you think that they showed up then. NO!!!! They came at 4:30. not 5. Don't most peolpe work until 5? Then I told them to call my cell phone. They never did. They called the house. Stupid, of course no one is goping to answer. If I didn't answer the door and no cars where there do you thing I am going to answer the phone. They tried my hubby's cell but he didn't answer either. I don't even know how they got that number. I never gave it to them. When I called to yell at them they said the computers were down and would call me back as soon as they can back up with my appt. time. I ended up calling them this morning. They had no idea that the work hadn't been done. I wanted them to come out today but of course they were already book for today. AUGHHH! Now I have to wait two more days for something I will be paying to much for anyway (DSL).
Rusty, thanks for the great idea about the using the notebook program! I never would have thought of it myself! Kempyd, I know how you feel, I am about to do bodily damage to someone at our cable company. I am 28, married, three kids. Your lives all sound so exciting!! Especially you Dips. It sounds exotic! I've never been much of anywhere. Maybe some day.....Have a great one everybody!
I do the same Gen. I have that tape of Shanias and I love, I'm still the one. That is how you can tell a good song is when you get goosebumps.
I just bought the 8 mile soundtrack, I am listening to it right now. I can't wait to work out to it.
Kempy, I was wondering where you were last night. I kept checking to see if you were here. Are you gonna have it in time for the weekend? I didn't know she had the same birthday as us.
I listen to all the 70's music too. I grew up listening to it and I still love it. At our school dances noone would start to dance until they played Bob Segar.Dances sound a lot different now. LOL
i didn't realize I was the "baby of the bunch" but on the up side I am familiar with a lot of the music from the 70s and 80s (Thanks to DeeJaying)
Kempyd, I know what it's like to wait on service when you're so anxious. I signed up for my phone service and had to wait 4 months afterward to get hooked up. The army loves to make you wait.
Gen, it's funny that you mention "torturing" the hubby on the eliptical machine. I got my boyfriend to do the stationary bike with me once and he hated it. We were supposed to go 30 minutes but he quit after ten. I was teasing him calling him weak and stuff but he didn't care because he's one of those naturally thin people who can eat everything and not gain an ounce.
Laney, I never thought of my life as exotic,lol. But it is cool to travel the world at the expense of the government Some of these places i know I would've never seen in my lifetime had it not been for the armed services. But there is a price to pay. Like today I've been at work for 11 hours and I won't be going home any time soon. (news deadlines kicking our butts) Oh well, I'll be home in 5 DAYS YAAAAAAY
At thirty-five, I'm an 'oldies' music person too, Jen and Rusty, so don't feel too out of place!
I usually jump on my exercise bike to Joe Cocker,Stevie Ray Vaughan or the Stones, or some other bluesy stuff. I also work in radio, but in news, I work from home half the time and the rest at the station. It is the best job in the world!
Hey everyone. Well I'm 31. I usually watch the news at the gym in the morning, but they play hard rock music in the background which helps to keep me motivated, I love hard rock and metal music. When I exercise at home I listen to Fleetwood Mac- especially the Rumors cd I love it! It keeps me moving. Take care- Di
Hi. Isn't music great. There's something for everybody! Considering there are only 13 different notes, it's amazing that there can be so many different songs and none are the same.
I had an absolutely crazy day at work, didn't get lunch until 3:15 when I got half a bowl of soup down in 10 minutes and then went back to work. Not healthy and by the time I finally got home tonight, I was famished, ended up eating before I had settled in and naturally ate more than I needed. I don't think my calorie count for the day is very high, considering all I had between 6:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. was an apple and half a bowl of soup! This crunch is almost over and then it should settle down. It's amazing that less than a week ago I was twiddling my thumbs and trying not to sleep during the day. Well, it's a bit late for a work-out, but I'm going to head into the other room to "walk away the pounds".
Hey you guys! I got a job offer. Woohoo! It's only part time but that is okay that is really all I can spare between family, school, and the homework. I will be working at Beall's department store as a sales clerk. I have not worked in so long especially where I have to dress professionally. I do work at the college but i go in jeans of course I wear makeup but I don't have to go in a skirt with hosiery and heels. So this will be a big transition.
My 11 year old will be 12 this Thanksgiving and was totally off the wall excited because her mom will be working for a company that supplies Tommy Hilfiger...DISCOUNTS. Maybe occassionally but hardly never since this is only a part time job and the pay is very modest. I figure it will get us through the Christmas crunch.
Okay i have homework to do and i am totally excited that the semester is almost over. So I will bid you all a good night and sweet dreams. bye.
Kina
Congratulations Kina! You'll be an inspiration to me. I'm starting school in the spring after my daughter and I go to Disneyland. I'm a bit worried about having time for it all, but a college education couldn't hurt my salary prospects! And I know others do it. I'm a bit old to start, but better late than never.
I forgot to say Angie, thanks for sharing the photo. It's a great picture of your kids (and dogs!)
