We got this much ;). Probably about a foot but there's been lots of drifting. Another 2 inches today. I'm not working so it's a good day to hibernate. Highs of -20 so definitely a good day to stay inside! My back is still acting wonky - just tweaked it setting up tables. I might try to ride the bike to do something - the…

Happy Thanksgiving Jen! Enjoy the rolling on the couch :) Even tho it's not ours, I intend to do the exact same thing! WE did Octoberfest at work today - perogies, cabbage rolls, bratwurst, the whole shebang! I was there to assist at 7am and even tho I got my workout in this morning, I got another one in setting up tables…

We're doing a southern caribbean cruise too! Out of Miami Dec 22 to Jan 2. Christmas and New Years on the ship. Can't wait! 24 more sleeps til we leave (but who's counting ;)) Sounds like you've got a pretty good plan to get you started. I did see a bench with 100lb weights in the Canadian tire flyer on the weekend. It…

It was certainly delicious - 3150 cals for the day delicious :) Oops LOL
-
We, too, are expecting snow Thursday - about 4in worth. But we still have to work - we already had our thanksgiving holiday :) Marble Slab is actually ice cream! I guess it must be a Canadian thing? I had chocolate mixed with vanilla, with peanuts, m&ms and crushed oreos, with chocolate and caramel sauce on top :) :) :) Oh…
-
Forgot to mention - there's a retirement in the office and we're having his lunch today. Marble Slab for dessert! Sometimes it's so hard to be good o:) Maybe if I skip the lunch and just have dessert?? ;)

Further proof that exercise doesn't kill you ;) Is it doing anything for the scale? Ripped it this morning although my tris still hurt! My arms are really tired now. It was a good workout but I'm looking forward to getting back to lifting.

Hey Terrie! Welcome back! I did finish NR in July - I think? Seems like so long ago .... I just did some light cardio thru the summer with a modified BWM (who knew it would come in so handy?). Sometime in Sept my hubby wanted to work with some weights so we've been doing Jillian Michaels together. We finished the 30 Day…
-
That doesn't sound terribly bad - all that food and no place to go? Perfect :) Lets' just hope it doesn't rain after all that snow! You can watch football all day if you're so inclined. Me, I'd be binge watching something on TV! And shopping the sales on the net at the same time :) And sending Wes out to shovel ;) Speaking…

My triceps are burning today! I can feel the heat from the inflammation thru my shirt!
-
Haha, yep! Although I've done most of the exercises before in the shred so they weren't completely unfamiliar. Except for the ab bridges and the tricep squats. I can really feel it in the back of my arms!
-
Nope - didn't stay put and am feeling it in my arms! I'm sure it'll hurt even more tomorrow. In Canada we have the CFL - Canadian Football League. Only 8 teams (I think) and our team, after not making the playoffs for a number of years, are playing in the semifinal tomorrow! If we win it's off to the Grey Cup - not quite…
-
Rest day for me. Big debate in our household is whether or not we should move onto week 2 tomorrow! :smile:
-
that does sound nasty! :s

For all the lurkers perusing our thread, Ramalem had her baby yesterday! It's a boy! Charles David weighing in at 7 lbs 5 oz! Jen and I are proud honorary Aunties :D
-
Oops! Back DOMS are the worst! We are so much alike - I wouldn't bother adjusting either LOL Did you try the full scoop of protein? How did it taste? Scale was up 1.8 this morning - so much for my low! That's more of what I was expecting even tho I was under 50 cals for the day. Our bodies are so weird! Did Ripped again…
-
That would do it :) Do you put it in a shake? How will it taste with extra protein? I buy the pre-made shakes from costco - Premier I think they're called. 30g of protein and they taste not bad. I have them after my workout - I'm too lazy to mix something up myself at that hour of the morning. They're also good for a grab…
-
That's easier sometimes isn't it? But knowing full well you can sub out those stupid lunges with rear leg raised LOL I tweaked something behind my knee yesterday doing Ripped - it was sore all day so I thought I'd just ride the bike this morning while Wes is gone. It's feeling much better now so we'll be back at it in the…
-
Oh I forgot to mention - remember my neighbor's pig, ELI, that they were trying to force from their home - they lost the first go-around in court yesterday :'( They still define him as 'livestock' despite many, many contrary opinions that he's an exotic pet and not a farm animal. Poor Eli! They have until sometime in the…
-
Good morning ladies! Crappy sleep (again!) last night but managed to drag my body out of bed and do a second session of Ripped in 30. I definitely recommend you add it to your routine when you're up to it Meg - it's tough. And we're only in week 1 :'( I'm still feeling some DOMS from the first go round on Saturday! It's…
-
If you're still feeling up to it - I would too! That's the important time :) When is THE date? The 20th? Are you sick of people asking if you've popped yet? LOL
-
When is your last 'official' day?
-
I wouldn't call them 'fun' LOL they're far too small to be fun! But yes, that is Canadian Halloween candy. I down them usually 6 at a time o:) I kept way too many for myself and have been pigging out on weekends. One more weekend ought to get them all gone LOL I was wearing a 36B or C and the band size has definitely gone…
-
Oh Jen - food poisoning sucks! It always takes such a long time to feel 'normal' again. On the bright side, you get to start fresh after your involuntary cleanse LOL We started Ripped in 30 on Saturday - oh the DOMS!! I don't know what exercise it was but I'm still hurting this morning! After lifting and nothing during the…
-
Week 39?? The end is near! That's nice that your boss is till allowing you flexible hours while training your replacement. 8lbs? Ouch! I must have slept funny as my neck and shoulder hurt again :( I will see what it's like tomorrow but may not work out again until Monday. I was going to start lifting again on the 24th but…
-
Where'd everybody go?. :\
-
My neck and shoulder still aren't 100% - driving is much better tho. I don't have to turn my whole body to shoulder check anymore :) I can still feel it if I move it in a certain way so no shredding for me this morning. I rode the bike instead. It's fricken freezing here - we went from a very pleasant fall - BAM right into…
-
Good job Jen!! I think I'd have trouble holding 40lbs too. Most I've ever tried is 25 for step ups and grip was an issue then. Welcome Mish - the more the merrier! I'm going to echo Jen and say that each stage brought on a different soreness which quickly went away (except for Stage 7 - I think I still hurt from that one…

I'm not sure an employer has to guarantee you the SAME job after a year here, but they definitely have to guarantee you A job at the same rate as when you left.
-
Having never done it myself :p I think mat leave here is paid at 60% with some companies topping that up. For such an 'advanced' country, the US really is far behind on some things! With Canada right behind them.
