Those too! :heart: Wes woke up with a sore throat this morning so there was no Shredding today. I however, had a leisurely ride on the exercise bike just to be doing something. He's got what I had - not sure why it took him so long to get it? He's the biggest baby when he's sick - like he's dying or something LOL We're…

I :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: After Eights! Anything chocolate mint really! But After Eights just kind of melt in your mouth :love:

Last time I went to Costco they had all their Christmas chocolate out! OY! I wish they'd at least wait until after Halloween!

I've really noticed how everything is 'pumpkin' these days. Lattes, donuts, yogurt! All sounds really good but I'm not a huge pumpkin fan. I will, however, eat it if it's in front of me :bigsmile: As with most things LOL A Thanksgiving baby?? How cool would that be? Something extra special to celebrate every year. Canadian…

It was 7 by my count :laugh: 7 weeks from today is Nov 10 - isn't that right around your due date? Or has it changed? The only reason I remember it's around that time is my birthday is on the 9th :smile:

Meg, I definitely give Wes props for Shredding with me - he's just so funny to watch :laugh: You better get cracking on Baby's room - the next six weeks is going to fly by and you'll wonder where all the time went! It's going to get real once all the furniture is in there - I'm so excited for you! I love how you choose…

Happy, happy Monday :flowerforyou: No, I'm not really that happy - it just sounded fun :laugh: and I have no back pain! Was able to get thru the Shred this morning - barely! I'm still wiped from that stupid cold but I just took a few breaks and managed to get thru it. I only had to blow my nose about 18 times!! Wes is…

Did someone say pie??? Stage 7 DOMS are like no other! Did you drop the weights at all? I found on the bigger lifts 10lbs less was hard enough for that many reps. It's a tough stage psychologically because we've been working hard to increase our weights and suddenly we can't do that anymore. I was planning on shredding…

I think they were about an hour but I don't think I ever did 20 reps of anything. I kept them around 15 and was able to do 4 sets (most days - towards the end I only did 3) I know I was able to get it all done before work and I usually had about an hour. How are you feeling - any DOMS yet? Sometimes getting away from the…

Good morning :flowerforyou: Had fun last night at the races! Left down only $5 - but then I'm a pretty conservative better :smile: Dinner was a buffet - a very good buffet I might add! It's so hard to count those. I had lots of greens and lots of veggies but I also had dessert (good bye reasonable sugar numbers!) and…

I go MIA for a day and this place explodes LOL I'm feeling much better - at least the pressure in my head has gone away but I'm still blowing multiple times a day. It's all clear tho so nothing is lingering at least. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll be back to normal and we can start shredding again on Monday…

Like crap but thanks for asking LOL How long did your's last? My head still feels like it's about to explode but other than that I feel fine! Advil cold and sinus has become my friend but I sure feel like I'm in a fog when I take it. Two before bed, one in the morning. Hopefully I'll kick this thing soon. It's so…

How much does snot weigh? I feel like I've blown out about 5 lbs of it lol. Sorry if that's TMI. My head is pounding - sinuses mostly. I'm just ready for it to all go away. This what I get for bragging that I never get sick :laugh: Typical me - it only happens on the weekends! We moved into our house in Jan 2013 and now we…

Feeling like crap again today! Stupid cold :grumble: Family dinner was nice. Saw a cousin who I hadn't seen since 1997! I think she was 10. Now she's all growed up :wink: She has two beautiful little girls that are the mini-me of her. Time goes by so fast! You really miss a lot when you blink! I did really well on the food…

Happy Friday! :drinker: I woke up with a horrible sore throat and my head feels like it's about to burst :cry: instead of our virtual drink Jen, I think you sent me your cold lol. I know what you mean about logging some foods. We had a catered breakfast brought in last week - quiche. It's tough to pick one that seems…

Doesn't lots of moisturizer help with stretch marks? I think being fit and exercising is also supposed to help (says the woman who's never been pregnant! LOL) Or am I just repeating old wives tales? Great job getting your workouts in! I think we always think of vacation in terms of food but there's usually so much more…

No trains this morning - YAY!! For the first time this week I actually go to work on time! I hit some sort of crazy traffic on Monday too but I was only 5 min late that morning. Not 30 min like yesterday! Wes's flight got in later than scheduled so I waited up for him. Neither of us felt like getting up early for a workout…

Yeah sorry about that Jen - harder to type using my phone so I keep it short and sweet :laugh: I'm in for a cocktail! :drinker: Anytime :bigsmile: We don't have to be in the same place to enjoy one together do we?

What a morning - not a great start to the day. I was stuck at a train for 30 min this morning coming to work. My turn was just the other side of the tracks - ARGHH!! For some reason the train was just not moving! To turn around and go the other way would be about 10k and then the traffic heading the other direction was…

We will be there Dec 2015! Not until next year but as I was informed when I declined the insurance - it's 472 days away :bigsmile: I'm not really a big fan of Christmas. I hate the commercialism of it all. While I like to buy gifts for people I hate it when it's more of an obligation than something I want to do. Last year…

How are you feeling today Jen? Hopefully better! JL - how I envy you to be able to cross the border so easily to go shopping! It's pretty much a day trip for me just to get there LOL I just make the best of it when I do go. Of course you had to have lunch :wink: That's part of the fun. Meg I will gladly trade for your 90…

Happy Monday - it's friggen snowing here! It's going to turn into rain but geeesh! It's still early September! Go away already and come back in December! I definitely stuck to my plan yesterday but TOM was knocking on my door so I managed to devour an entire bag of jalapeno kettle chips and a large mars bar! Not one of my…

I'm paying for those fries and gravy today lol. Scale was up three pounds! I also didn't drink that much water so that was a huge contributor too! Oh well today is another day! Although I'm not sick, my plan is similar to Jen's - watch tv and nap! :drinker:

We all seem to be nursing injuries of some sort! SO ... I decided to do the 30 day shred for the rest of September! I think I've even convinced Wes to do it with me! Last time we tried it Jillian kicked his *kitten* lol. He had never done a squat or a lunge before so he was a hurtin' puppy! At least now he's familiar with…

Welcome J-L! :flowerforyou: As you can see we don't actually talk much about lifting LOL It sometimes works its way in there :smile: We're a small, but friendly!! group open to talk about anything and everything. Have you been lifting long? Are you doing NR?

Not fun :ohwell: at all! And just in time for the weekend! Feel better soon! While I'll often get runny noses etc, I don't often get colds. Maybe once every three years! I'm healthy as a horse! I haven't logged a sick day at work in almost 6 years. It drives me crazy when someone gets the sniffles and they're off work for…

I rarely look at other people's diaries so your secret is safe with me :smile: I had a cheeseburger (with bacon!) and fries two days in a row - who am I to judge? LOL I hope you had a most enjoyable, calorie filled birthday dinner! I know you'll enjoy the pizza! Wes is in Calgary today but should be home about 6:30 - we…

We saw the Feliway at the vets - the diffuser was $42 or something stupid like that. And it's only supposed to last 30 days? Are they much cheaper there? The US often has many things cheaper than here. If so, I'll wait until I'm in Florida at Christmas and buy it then. Nyxon didn't use her litterbox last night - so here's…

Happy Birthday Jen! I think taking the month off is a good idea. I never lowered my cals - I ate the same (or should I say aimed for) the same as I had been eating when I was lifting and I managed to break thru that elusive 150 mark. My daily goal is 1650 and for the last six weeks (not including my vacation) I averaged…

Nice to see you Meg - I thought maybe you forgot about us :wink: I think pigeons would be worse than mice! They're a heck of a lot bigger - means bigger messes! UGH! Describing what you did on the weekend made me tired! I'd say you were quite productive! What color did you choose for the baby's room? Poor puppy - you're…
