Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

Happy Friday! Haha...you guys are too funny...I'm sure you guys wait, for my almost daily posts, with bated breath - NOT! In my defense, I'm a fast typer so it really doesn't seem like I'm typing that much. That's my story and I'm sticking to it...even though I'm known in real life to be a little bit of a "talker". I know you're all shocked to hear that. {#emotions_dlg.glare}

Judy, I'm so sorry to read about your baby. They're members of your family and the entire family dynamics change when you have to say good-bye to one. It's such a hard time, one of the worst things ever.{#emotions_dlg.crying}

nomless, it's pretty chilly here too. We're 18* and windchills were single-digits. We go up and down so much...lots of people sick here because of that.

Dh had a couple of go-arounds with the clinic here. First time since taking this position that he's lost his temper....his staff was standing in the hallway listening to him go off on the phone...and believe me, he isn't someone to "go off" or lose his temper, which is why they got such a kick out of it. He is not happy with the care one of his guys received...at all. He's very protective of his family(including animals), friends, and people he's responsible for...like a mother bear...lol.

We're going to see the kids on V-Day weekend. DS finally has two days off in a row when DH isn't going to be out of town...yay! Dreading the 9-hour drive with this one(Lucy), but it doesn't appear as if she's going to change.{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

I was chasing her around the yard yesterday trying to get her in the house(she was playing with one of her pokey-balls)...when I caught her I told her, "You are the worst dog we've ever had Lucy ____, but we couldn't love you more than we do."....and she kissed me on the nose.{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Run this morning before bible study. Then have errands. My gf and I are going to CF tomorrow morning instead, too hard going at 9 with bible study at 10. They like us to be there(at biblestudy) because we're two of the biggest 'talkers'....again, I know you're all shocked. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

bopper...how was the lasagne?

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

Checking in with Treadmill Intervals and pushing myself again Smiley Happy

Nomless I have several Jari Love workouts and your muscles are toast at the end.

Pppmint we all love your "books"...they are on my Top Reading List {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}We have to hear our Lucy stories.... and of course your inspiring workouts.... never dull in your neck of the woods haha Lasagna was awesome, DH really was looking forward to it. I haven't made it in ages...comfort food I guess...

FUTURE hope you have a great weekend!

Von and califvanilla waving to all, glad you enjoy it here...that's what we're here for {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

Hi, all, happy Friday.

Patty, how cool that DH has his guys' backs. That made me happy. Hurray that you'll go see the kids next week. Woohoo! BTW, your books are best sellers, IMO! Love to read your posts.

Hi, Bopper. Yep, Jari know how to fatigue muscles! I wish she'd do some more DVDs. Jackie Warner, too.

We have a sunny warm day here. 40-ish. Snow is melting like crazy. I love it after the cold week we had.

I don't watch ShopHQ, but this morning I was flipping channels and saw that Chris Freytag was on (selling those copper compression socks). I'm sorry she's not on Q any more. I enjoyed her. I checked her ShopHQ show; she's selling a few other things, including a Pilates machine.

I'll do more Jari tonight I think. And probably cardio tomorrow. I'm so glad the weekend is almost here!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

Morning! Seems like it should be afternoon, I have put in a full-day already!

Yes, nomless, he feels that is his #1 priority, taking care of his guys...and gals(has some in admin). He's not afraid to speak up at all, he makes me nervous sometimes. The Pentagon wasn't the best place for him because he is not a "yes man" AT ALL. But he did well there even though he spoke his mind...lol.

CrossFit was super-duper hard today. I survived...and that's exactly how I felt. Those toes-to-bars about did me in, trying to get your feet up there when you're pooped...ugh...20 minutes seemed like a lifetime.

We were huffing and puffing after the warm-up! But I hung pretty well with those young whipper-snappers...haha. Wink{#emotions_dlg.laugh} It's kind of an environment where you have to earn your acceptance if you kwim. And I think the old-mule surprised a few.{#emotions_dlg.sneaky}{#emotions_dlg.w00t}

I thought of you nomless, one of the guys is competing in the CF games...I guess they start the end of this month...not sure if they meant training or competing. I was delirious.{#emotions_dlg.unsure}

We're setting up the treadmill...going to keep it downstairs so I had to move some furniture around and steam-mop my floors. It's a big one, my old one wasn't near this big.

Nothing beats a good pan of lasagne and some garlic bread bopper...dh deserved it this week.Wink

Okay....I think I've reached my max-word-limit.{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Waving to everyone...where is cater, canine, and some others?? Miss everyone!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

I got my hair cut today.....better than last time. Did Jari workout. Channeled Future and took a nap. Going to have dinner with a friend tonight. Patty, glad you decided where to put the treadmill. How fun that a CF member will be doing the games. Hope he does well. ANW casting applications were due last month, IIRC. CF games won't be the same without Rich competing in the men's individuals, but no doubt the others are glad he's gone, now they have a chance.

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

Hey all, almost forgot to check in. I thought about it earlier and was distracted.

Didn't do much here, my granddaughter is here having a sleepover...I'm ready to go to sleep and she is on her little laptop....wide awake...this grandma is tired!

Grandpa and she went to the SpongeBob movie tonight so she had fun doing that with him.

Snowing lightly here, was going to snowshoe but yesterday I fell down in my garage, feet went out from under me. I had snow on the bottom of my boots and down I went..my rear end is a little sore so I didn't do anything today.

Pppmint it's so cool you know a guy who is competing in the CF games...you hang with the best of them that's for sure and you are showing them you still got it!

Nomless glad your haircut was a success and you got in a JL workout.

Been watching some Hallmark Valentine movies...I am a sap for Hallmark channel ...

Have a good night everyone!

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

Where is everyone?!{#emotions_dlg.thumbdown} Got the treadmill together, what a job that was. Put my first 3-miles in yesterday morning before church and I love it! Then we walked Lucy to beach after church...we were 70*!

I don't know what to say about today's wod. Did two of the hardest exercises I've ever done in my life...Dumb-bell Man-makers and Wall-Walks(full to handstands). Horrible, just horrible.{#emotions_dlg.blink}{#emotions_dlg.ohmy}{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Then the coach said I'm going to compete in the local Games competition. I said, "No, I'm not, I don't want to, I'm not ready". She said "Yes, you are ready, and yes, you are going to". I am serious, I don't want to. {#emotions_dlg.mad} My gf is going to get kicked in the shins! #%^&@*!

Dh had a sore throat last night, said he wasn't going to work out today but I just found out he did. He said they were flipping the big tires and sweating buckets and he thinks he feels better now.{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

Anyway, going to take Peanut out again. Supposed to start raining later, tomorrow(rain and wind) will be a treadmill work-out for me so I need to wear her out today.{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

She keeps you hopping bopper! Too fun!

nomless...I watched some of it, was channel-flipping.

Re: Welcome to the February Exercise Check In

It's a new week...happy Monday, everyone.

I think tonight I'm going over to the workout room and use the treadmill and bike. I haven't done those for a long time. When it was dark when I got home from work, I never felt like going back out, but now it's still light after work. I feel like I need a good long cardio workout.

Patty, it's great that you like the new treadmill. Yay that you have warm temps. You're going to do the your local CF games!!!! Yippee!! Or not..... Maybe when the time comes, you'll be interested in giving it a go. When is it? We'll cheer you on from here, you know.

Hi, Bopper, hope you're having a good day.

You, too, Future. Isn't this the week that things are supposed to start slowing down for you. Hope so!

Judy, how are ya doin'?

Hi to you, too, Tony and Maggie. Hope things are going well.
