Yes. Um, what day...Saturday? a poor workout, as evidently having a beer around noon and a bunch of pizza and then hitting the gym at 4 is a weak combo. I am sorry you've caught my insomnia! I woke up at 545 today. Not as bad as last week. I went back to the gym today after yesterday's disaster (knee bad, long day, forgot…

STILL haven't gotten to the gym! Night three of poor sleeping--I was on the couch while DH coughed and wheezed in the bed. I thought about going early, since I was awake, but tried to doze off and on instead until I had to get moving for work. Then I had a haircut, and now I'm too cute to work out :) I won't make it…

I am doubting my energy level for the gym. Maybe I"ll just go home and gym on Saturday. Busy all day tomorrow.

Oh, I've had that. I've shopped my own closet for sizes up and down for years. :P It's annoying. Have a great trip! Very busy couple of days this week; I graded all day yesterday and got up at 530 this morning to keep going. I have slept poorly the last two nights but am still hoping to get to the gym this afternoon once…

I love wrapping. I think it's fun. but I have relatives who put everything in bags, so I think they're thinking like you! :) I'm glad you're on the mend! I was in awful, awful pain today. I couldn't sit, couldn't walk without feeling it. I've been feeling like that damn UTI was back, and then today was excruciating. Then,…

I can't believe you're wrapping your gifts in november. Usually I' do it near the last minute. I spent most of yesterday hibernating on the couch watching TV and doing some embroidery. I watched the Good Wife, two episodes of the Wire, the Amazing Race, and some other stuff. Have you tried some ibuprofen and a heating pad…

Pppflppt. Bummer, Blue.

Arrggh. Good day to hibernate, indeed! What's with us, again? We always get injured simultaneously. Here's hoping Meg hasn't thrown our her arm or something to make it a trio. You fine, Terrie?

Jillian's a cruel mistress. I didn't end up eating too much, all things considered; I've ballpark estimated my cals yesterday to be about my normal intake. Plus we had all that glorious morning shoveling. How much snow did you get? We didn't get much, ultimately,but it rained on top of it and froze, so it was kind of…

Broccoli in ramen is my lazy way to at least get a vegetable in. Snow only amounted to a couple of slushy inches when all was said and done=a good thing for all the travelers today! I did Supercharged Basic II/B yesterday for the second time. Something in my knee is tweaky--it started midway through my workout--so here's…

Oh! Is it where they mush it up on the slab, mixing the stuff in? There are a few places here who do that, but I've never had it. Sounds like a delicious day! I ate ramen with frozen broccoli for lunch--not very glamorous!

I'd totally eat that cake. Course, I just had a butterfinger mini, so I'm not a great barometer for sugar-related decisions. Scale's stable, so I"ll take it! It fluctuates inside a 5 pound window. Works for me. Sorry your arms are so tired. I might try to get to the gym tomorrow before the snow flies--we're looking at…

Pretty good! I'm beat so I'm stumped trying to remember my numbers. Deadlifts w/ rows I kept at 65 and only did 8 in each set instead of 10, given how badly I overdid it last time; I can already feel my mid-back tightening up again. I managed to do my pushups largely w/o my knees on the ground (wahoo!) and I used 20 lbs…

TERRIE! Welcome back!! Scroll up--Meg had the baby! Just this weekend--a little boy. My knees are fine! I don't run as much as I used to, so that keeps them in check. How was the wedding? You're a married lady now, eh? Congrats!

Seriously? That's insane! I need to get to the gym sometime this afternoon. I have meetings 12-2, then 3-5, so I'm hoping 2-3 is my gym hour. We shall see. The Nat'l Weather Service is predicting 6-10" of snow here Wed night, Thurs morning--might make for a snowbound turkey day!

I know--I'd be very worried about my roof if I were in Buffalo. Those poor people. We might be getting some actual snow next week. Monday's going to be 64, though. Bizarre. I did 2B today. It starts with these weird slide-your-hand-on-the-floor things called pushaways (2 sets of ten/each hand). then jump squats (easy…

Imagine the DOMs! Stay put! lol.

DOMs continue today. I probably won't get to the gym, as my shoulders--as in, running across them--still ache, as does my low back. Oops! I'll have to get in Sat--Mon--Wed., as the gym's closed Th/Fr for our Thanksgiving.

Protein grossness!

Yeah, Meg!! Wooohooo! I mixed it with my yogurt, of which I didn't have enough, and then ended up thinning it all out with water. It was vile but I ate it.

OMG, overdid it on the deadlift w/ row--2 sets, 10 reps, 65 lbs. I knew I was using my back more than I should have for the rowing part but didn't want to adjust the weight down b/c I'm lazy. So feeling it today! DOMs DOMs DOMs.

I looked yours up once; they're whey, which doesn't agree with me for some reason. Mine are this fancy vegetable-based powder--pea, hemp, god only knows what else (Vega's Viva Vanilla--I get it from Amazon). I mix it usually with water and suck it down. I guess they must mean a packed scoop rather than a loose one? I'll…

hey hey, good for you! I did basic II a today and it went well. So here's an eye-opener for me today: When I went to put a scoop of protein powder in my container today, I didn't have a full on in the bag and ended up measuring out the 22g. This was a HUGE amount of powder. I think I've been under-scooping all this time…

Poor piggy! That's such a stupid and unnecessary situation. The family must be devastated. Yesterday was a long day with no time for exercise. I will be starting basic training 2 in a couple of hours. Fewer reps this time around. I think I'll just follow the book's suggested exercise list. So much easier than doing it…

Hahahahaa. Everyone's so eager! I can't believe you're just a few days away! I had a reasonably productive day today. Did all the shoppings, finished the laundry (all but what needs to be brought upstairs), litterboxes, did the reading for class, made dinner, cleaned up. Then I realized notebook with my notes for the grade…

Oh, I hear you on the pricy bras. You should try being an unusual size--34DD. Everything's hard to find and very expensive. I'm able to wear a D now, so that's opened some doors, anyway. At the very least you should go get measured. It's amazing how off we can be. Sorry you're in so much pain! I finished Basic Training I…

Hey there! Sorry for the silence. The end of the week was crazy--yesterday morning I was sick (food poisoning?), then had three meetings followed by happy hour and dinner with some of my fellow instructors. Today I left at 730 to meet students and drive with them two hours for a field trip. Got back about 7p. I was…

I was crazy sore at first. I still am from time to time, usually when I start a new stage/program/etc. The first few workouts of Supercharged made me very achy! I have one more left in Basic Training I and then I get to move on. I can do more than 2 workouts a week when my muscles aren't killing me! I didn't do the…

Hhahaah, it censored me. S*H*I*T day.

Our maternity leave policies suck, esp because they're hardly guaranteed like Canada's are. Here, it's employer by employer, in terms of whether you are paid for those 6 weeks or not. Yesterday was kind of a *kitten* day, so I had a beer and a meatball sub with french fries for dinner. Tasty, tasty feelings. I didn't get…
