Good morning!
I didn't see this posted yet. How is everyone doing?
AF came on Sunday and has not been very nice but I have noticed that by not having soda or sweets my cramps aren't as bad! I'm not even craving chocolate!:noway: How'd that happen? I have been really hungry though for about a week! Oh and my bigger size jeans still fit even though I am bloated. TMI? lol
I'm getting ready to take Alex to tumbling class. I cleaned out the linen closet and washed up a few dishes already. When I get home I don't know what I am going to do. I want to start on Alex's room but that's a huge undertaking! I will be painting the drawers this afternoon and relaxing. Today is a light day. I'm not feeling the best.
Today:
must drink water!
cleaning
painting
logging
rest
Have a good Tuesday!
MM

    Hi everyone. . .

    It's my intention today to go to bikram (for the first time in nearly 3 weeks) I'll check back in if I accomplish this. I'm developing a second intention: to go back to bed.:tongue:

    So, I'm drinking extra water as I type. I'm completely having the huge-crash-after-a-super-stressful-period-of-time feeling. (hence the desire to go back to bed. I slept until 10:30 this a.m., which is late even for me.)

    Take care. . .I'll let you know if my intentions match my actions.

    :flowerforyou:

    i missed posting this morning because of homework :explode: I'm losing it when it comes to school right now (9 credit hours in 6 weeks!) Next cycle I'm knocking it down to 1 class so I'll have time for myself!

    I'm surving...I'm waiting to hear if I'm going to baby sit or not tonight (If I am that's going to hurt dinner plans and my work out! :frown: but then again I could really use the money!)

    Well, I'm off since class is getting ready to start. You guys have fun!

    Renae, how old is the munchkin? I guarnatee you can work in your "work out" with kids around. Ian is a solid 30lbs so playing airplane (lie on back, he lays on my feet while i lift him up in the air) or even smply letting him ride on my shoulders while I do things is a workout. I'm never as tired after an hour workout as after 30 min playing with him! :laugh: I don't know where he gets the energy :wink:

    Karen, let me know if you need any rehab advice for your daughter. Viv, who are you kidding? You put most of us to shame on a daily basis. Sometimes sleeping in is called for and totally deserved! :glasses:

    I did my body-for-life cardio yesterday which was interesting. My rib cage is actually still sore from breathing hard and deep for the first time in about a month. I feel ok, but I'm not 100% yet. Today was lifting (lower), tomorrow cardio will be on the gazelle as we are geting significant snow in the next 24 hours (single digits & up to 10"), upper thursday, run friday (will be mid-40s), and something sat. Sunday is my day off and eat what you want day.

    Make someone smile today!

    Sorry about posting so late. I went to a 9:15 pilates class this morning. That's way too early in the morning to work on abs. I had to down my coffee to get there in time as well - I could hear it sloshing around as I was doing curl up thingys. Didn't like pilates that much - too sleepy. I bet the afternoon classes are harder. I walked 45 min or so after class.

    My arms STILL hurt. I think the 3 hours of yoga yesterday had something to do with it as well.

    Still need to walk some more, or maybe go for a bike ride. It's really nice outside.

    Here ya go, Karen. . .I'll be last.

    Couldn't make it to the bikram studio due to a tardy voice student (who is ironically the studio owner's daughter). So. . .I did $10 worth of yoga at home. (A dusty DVD I hadn't done in ages with lots of arm balances. I'm sore)
