Hibby's Cutting Journal and Football Madness - Go Cocks !!

[Baldsnake]

USC covered both coasts today....yeah our teams.

And to think that my USC is only loosing 6 seniors this year. I smell a Pete Carroll dynasty.

[yogini]

Hiya Hibi!
Congratz on your team! That must be very exciting! :D
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Baldie!! YAY!!! GOOOO USCs!!!!!!

I watched your team also. We didn't lose many seniors either -- six total. :D

Yesterday's game was so exciting!!! I can't express to you guys how happy I am that we beat Clem(p)son and don't have to listen to their silly asses talk down to us for an entire year!!!

GOOOO COCKS!!!!

I lost my voice screaming so much. We were in a box -- and by the way, I hate being in a box to watch football -- I want to be in the middle of it all!! Anyway, we were just cheering our team on and it was the first time we had visited our Clemson box in the three years we've had it. So, we were unwelcome Carolina fans in a Clempson box. Well, it was all fine and everyone was being nice. We didn't say anything obnoxious -- just cheered on our team. It was a nerve-wracking game to watch! We were down by 14 points due to stupid mistakes on our part. Brian was getting that defeated look. I, however, could just feel it. I thought this was our year. We were playing better on the offense -- 492 yards total offense and I just felt like we could come back and told Brian that. And we did!!!

Anyway, one of the men in our box started yelling at Brian. Brian didn't even hear him and I was glad, because Brian is kind of extreme when he gets going like that and the man was not being nice. Brian was just yelling about the game.

There was also a friend of our's, Tommy, sitting in front of us cheering for the Gamecocks the entire time. This chick in the box next to us started beating on the plexi-glass to get his attention. He glanced over and she flipped him the bird!! :D She did it around five times and Tommy is so nice! I poked my lower lip out at her like I was pouting and that really set her off. Britt knocked on the window to smile at her after the game, but she didn't want to play then. LOL

We left that game cheering all the way back to the car. What a blast!!

Hi yogs!! Thanksgiving was great!! My 24th anniversary is tomorrow and the Gamecocks gave me a nice present!!! :D

Hi Mike! I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed that game. I have all my car magnets on my oven hood in celebration right now. :)

Hi Greenie and M!!

Hi Marcos! I'm so glad I took this week off from lifting. My body has stopped aching and I'm feeling better in general. I'll be getting back at it tomorrow. I'm leaning toward one of Waterbury's Fat Loss workout plans.

Hi Lisa!

Hi Jason! I did. It's been a fantastic holiday!!

Hi widebody! I think I will do that for a little while in celebration of the Cocks!!

Okie dokes -- today is my last day of rest. I'm going to do cardio only and tomorrow, I'll get back at it.

Yesterday had to be one of my worst nutrition days ever. I did pretty well on Thanksgiving and then did the fast food thing yesterday as we traveled back and forth to Clemson, and I did the beer thing, and I did the wine thing, and I did the icecream thing. :eek: I say I'm not an emotional eater, but I guess the Gamecocks beating Clemson makes me eat and drink plenty!! LOL

Anyhoo, I have to see Pam on the 15th, so it's strict until then and we'll see if my bodyfat has gone down any. I figure this time period inbetween Pam visit's it's been like a roller coaster. Hopefully, I can get it in line enough where I register a lower reading than last time. :p

It's time to buckle down. I have a bit more than 12 weeks (I believe) to meet my goal. I haven't checked a calendar to count, but I know it's time to fly right.

I hope you guys have a glorious Sunday!! I'm going to watch ESPN highlights we taped and then the Steve Spurrier Show (to bask in the glory) and the Tommy Bowden Show (to watch his lower lip tremble.)

Be good!

[Spitfire-1]

Hope all's well.

took a week off eh! It does help the niggling little pains , i should do it really.
But christmas is here soon , and i'll be off training then for a week or so


keep well, keep training



later

[StlBarbie]

HIYA HIBS!!!
Have fun returning to training .. went back today ... first time since Tuesday ... and :eek: :eek: :eek:

GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!:)

[MarkY]

Hi Hibby. Hope your voice recovers. Have a great week.

[namtrag]

Hibs

Sounds like you had it mild compared to the guys that made national newspaper article in our paper. They bet $20 on the Clemson-USC game, watched it together, then the 1 guy shot and killed the other one.

Can you believe it?!?!?

[HoosierHardGain]

Hey Hibs...just stopping in to say Heya!

[joed]

I hope you and B enjoy many more years of joy together.

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Hoosier! :)

Hi Mike! Crazy as heck, huh??!!

Hi MarkY! My voice is all better. :) Thank you!

[Hibiscus09]

Okay, I had to post whore because my computer is messing up. Some kind of bug and it keeps making me retype stuff. :eek:

[joed]

Phew, that was a close one, but I was able to get my post in before yours today.

[Hank1962]

Hibbs,
Sounds like a fun time at the game and after as well.

[Hibiscus09]

And one more time. . .

Hi Barb! Im heading out there now. Apparently the apostrophe is setting it off. Weird!

Hi SpitFire! The week off felt great!

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c288/hibiscus09/CarolinaClemsongame.jpg

[HoosierHardGain]

Look Blue, a clue!

[eddied27]

Look Blue, a clue!

LOL!!!

Hey Hib.....didn't know if you knew but your #20 in the Most Friends listing in Bodyspace.

Wooooohoooooo!!!

Alright everyone, let the posting begin!!! Hibby to #1!!! :D

Hope you are well.....Ed

[Hibiscus09]

Hi joed! Thank you for the sweet flowers and wishes! :)

Hi Hank! It was a great game!

LOL Hoosier!

Hi Eddie! LOL -- I didn't even know they kept track of how many friends people have. I don't even know how many friends I have. I'll have to go look at all of them and feel special. :D LOL!

Okie dokes -- I started Waterbury's Summer Project today. I know it's not summer, but whatever. :) Waterbury likes to torture people and if I ever meet him in person, he's going down. :D

Here's the fun:

Superset Roman Chair Squats with Reverse Crunches*he called for front squats, but seeing as I have a tendency to tweak my back on those suckers I took liberties with Mr. Waterbury's plan. There's a 60 second rest period between each superset.

Roman Chairs

6 reps holding 25lb plate X 4 sets

Reverse Crunches

6 reps X 4 sets *I didn't like doing 6 reps for an ab exercise

Superset Standing Alternating DB Shoulder Press with 1 Arm Dumbbell Rows*this kicked my bootay -- again a 60 second rest between each superset.

Standing Militaries*I've not done these one arm at a time much. Maybe once. Anyway, it makes it tougher for me. Plus, I tend to go down much lower in ROM.

6 reps each arm X 15lb dbs
6 reps each arm X 20lb dbs
6 reps each arm X 25lb dbs
6 reps each arm X 25lb dbs

One Arm DB Rows

6 reps each arm X 25lb db
6 reps each arm X 30lb db
6 reps each arm X 35lb db
6 reps each arm X 40lb db

Superset Bulgarian Split Squat Torture with Single Leg SLDL*60 second rest between supersets

Spawn of Satans

6 reps each leg holding 20lb dbs X 4 sets

Single Leg SLDLs

6 reps holding 25lb db
6 reps holding 30lb db
6 reps holding 30lb db
6 reps holding 35lb db

Superset Dips with DB External Rotations*I kept the rotations light. I am somewhere inbetween 5lb plates and 10lb plates. I guess I needed to have a 2.5lb platemate. :p

Dips

6 reps bodyweight X 4 sets

DB External Rotations

6 reps holding 5lb plates
6 reps holding 10lb plates*wasn't feeling real happy with how these felt
6 reps holding 5lb plates
6 reps holding 5lb plates

*At this point the workout was supposed to be over and I was feeling beat, but I didn't feel like I had done enough ab work.

Cable Crunches

40lbs X 15 reps X 3 sets *30 second rests

Ta-da!!

[Chubby Mom]

Good Afternoon Hibby quite a workout. :)

[jmc53]

Happy anniversary Diane.
The workout looks gruelling.

[Hibiscus09]

Thank you, Jason! It wore me out! :p Thanks also for the anniversary wishes. Brian sent me the prettiest flowers. I love flowers!

Hi Rosanne! Thank you! :)

[Mark1T]

Happy anniversary, Hibbie and Big B :)

Gracious goodness, what a leg workout!! You have to be hott to do that. It is a prerequisite, you know :p

p.s. I saved my 2100th post for ya ;)

[Hibiscus09]

LOL -- why thank you, sweetie!! :)

Hope you're doing well, Mark!

[=M=]

And I thought the Chief was the torture master!! :eek:

Happy Monday Hibs...and did I hear that it was an anniversary too?

[GREENFEATHER]

Happy anniversary hot stuff!

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Melissa and Rob! :) Yep, we've been married 24 years today. We dated 6 years before that. We're on a roll. . . :D

[camchad]

Hey Hibby - killer work out - looks like the rest did you some good.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Brian - enjoy it, wishing you many more and damn girlfriend you have been together a long time - you guys were babies, but that's awesome.

Enjoy your night.
camchad

[widebody195]

Hey Hibby,

Great avatar pic! ;-)

Wow, what a crazy-hard workout. So, how does your lower back feel?

Happy Anniversary, too. 24 years, that's awesome.

[Hibiscus09]

Hi widebody! Thanks about my avatar! I had to put it back up in honor of my Gamecocks. :) My back feels all better. It was more in the middle of my back -- rhomboids. I haven't had any of the spasms since about the middle of last week, so that's good.

That was a Chad Waterbury workout. He's crazy! LOL I'm going to try to stick with him for 8 weeks. That's how long his "Summer Project" workout lasts. Hopefully, I'll last. :D

Thanks, camchad! :) I met Brian when I was 14 and he was 15. We still get along great, so things are as they should be. I can't wait for grandbabies!

[dbx]

Hi Hibby! Great workout today..............AND...Happy Anniversary!!! :) You guys actually got married at this busy time of year? :eek: Very cool :)

[Hank1962]

Superset Bulgarian Split Squat Torture with Single Leg SLDL*60 second rest between supersets

Spawn of Satans

Hibbs,
This is not the Norman Vincent Peale postive mental attitude workout is it? Great workout you most have had some stored energy saved up from the holiday. Happy Tuesday!

[Hibiscus09]

Ha,ha Hank! I was pretty positive until I did the Bulgarian Squats (aka, Spawn of Satans). :D I did notice while doing the workout that the week of rest made me feel much, much more energized. It must have been time to have one. :)

Hi dbx! We did get married on Thanksgiving weekend -- probably, much to everyone's dismay! :p It has worked out nicely for us because we always get a long weekend for our anniversary. :)

Morning everyone! Today is cardio only day -- yippee! Waterbury suggests HIIT cardio, but I've never had much success as far as fat loss is concern doing HIIT. I'm going to stick to Pam's plan for cardio. I'll do it later.

This morning, I'm going to relax, read the paper, and drink my java. Around 9:00a.m., I may be motivated to start Christmas decorating! Fun!!

I hope you guys have a wonderful day!

Oooh, and I woke up with a Hellacious sore throat today! :eek: It's starting to subside a bit with the hot coffee drinking. I'm hoping it's just mild allergies. I refuse to be sick the week after my week off! :D

Be good!!

[powerman2000]

Oooh, and I woke up with a Hellacious sore throat today! :eek:


I hope you don't get worse.

[StlBarbie]

Ew .. HIBBY .. sorry the throat is mucked up!!!:eek:
I absolutely detest sore throats and that is where I always get hit first!!:eek:

I agree .. HILT has never been the answer for me either!!!

Feel Better!
Enjoy the CARDIO!!
and come decorate my house when you are done with yours!!!:D

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Barb! You get the "fastest poster award" from me. You move through this page like lightening. You workout the same way -- high energy. Do you clean like that also? I suck at cleaning. :D

[pastorgbc]

Hey Hibby,

To catch up: I hope you had a great turkey day, I hope you enjoyed the game, Happy Anniversary, and that is one serious workout.

Ray

[jkeithc82]

I suck at cleaning. :D


What is this "cleaning" you speak of? :confused:

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Ray! Thank you so much! :)

Hiya Josh! What's up with your team firing Mike Shula? I liked him!

Ummm, I know you don't what cleaning is all about! :D Seriously, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

[jkeithc82]

Hiya Josh! What's up with your team firing Mike Shula? I liked him!


Well, we suck. We've sucked for a few years now.

Nice guy, need someone better though.

[Hibiscus09]

2005 schedule:

http://nationalchamps.net/NCAA/college_football_2005_schedules/alabama.htm

Ummmmm. . . . . that doesn't look too suck to me! He had an off year this year, but I think he was on the right track. Did you guys lose many players from 2005 to this year?

That was a good year, and we were undefeated until that heartbreaker against LSU.

[HoosierHardGain]

Good luck with the Waterbury workouts, Hibby. His stuff rocks.

[Hibiscus09]

Yeah, Josh. It's just my humble :D opinion. I think they jumped the gun on Shula.

Hiya Hoosier! :) Thank you! I enjoyed yesterday's workout a lot!

[Krissypoo]

*waves*

Afternoon, Hibs. :)

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Kris! :)

Hi guys! Well, I put out about 1/3 of my decorations today. :p I needed to get more done, but after sneezing a gajillion times I decided to take a Benadryl. My throat is still sore and was so scratchy if was making my eyes water. Anyway, Benadryl flat knocks my ass out. I tried to lay on the couch and watch Alastair Sim in "A Christmas Carol," but could not keep my eyes open. I zonked out for about three hours!! :yikes: I've sneezed about three times since I woke up.

I have to get three cardios in this week, so I hope this feels better by tomorrow. I'll drug it up and see if I can't chase it out of my system. :p

Be good!

[justtryn]

Hi Hib! Sorry you're not feeling well!! Hey, guess what?! My Broncos finished 12-0 this year - BCS Bowl here we come!! Although it's not official yet, we expect to be in the Fiesta bowl http://www.bcsfootball.org/cfb/story/6207536

This is a first for BSU - who know's how they'll do... but I hope well. They're only the 2nd non-BCS team to make it.

Get over that cold, Hib! Bulk up on your Vit. C and Echanecia tea!!

[SV1000]

Hey Hibi, how was Thanksgiving? Sounds like your ready for the next big holiday :D

[NuclearArms]

Good morning Hibby. Have a great Southern Day.

[Hank1962]

Sorry to hear your not feeling while. I've been fighting a cold for a few days and have tried to workout anyway. Not much fun fighting to get a breath so hang in there.

[Krissypoo]

Arg! You are not allowed to be sick! :( Get well soon, Hibs. Rest up!

Is it pretty warm there or is it pretty cool? The high here is almost 80 today. *lol* Of course, the low is near freezing. Gotta love southern weather! :p

Happy Humpday, Hibs!

[StlBarbie]

Good Morning SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!:D
So sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well ... take care HIBS .. rest up and feel better!!:)

[Hibiscus09]

Morning, Barb!! :) I am cross-eyed from the congestion and the drugs! LOL It's allergies -- I can tell. I'm about to change and do my Waterbury torture. If I feel bad, I'll go lighter. :p I hope you have a great day!

Hi Kris! It feels like spring outside. I think it's supposed to be cooler this weekend, so maybe that will knock some of this gunk out of the air.

Hi Hank! Yep, I imagine it's not going to be fun out there, but I'll give it a go.

Hi Nuc! Thanks for visiting. :) It's definitely a beautiful Southern day outside.

Hi SV! Thanksgiving was wonderful. I love having a lot of people in my house pigging out and laughing. :D I'm decorating some more today. It takes a week for me to get it all out! :p

Ya'll have a great day! I think I'll head on out and workout because I figure if I don't, I'll just talk myself out of doing it the way I'm feeling.

Be good!

[namtrag]

Hi Hibs

Sorry to hear about your cold. I think I am getting the same thing, my daughter just went back to school after missing Mon-Tue with a fever, cold symptoms, etc. I think the whole south has the germ going around right now.

We fed exed my son's package to USC this morning, 2 days before the deadline. (that's a real accomplishment considering my son's procrastination habit).

If your son is interested in the HC at USC, I can give you the contact info for Ed Black, who is a young USC grad who works as a recruiter in the admissions office. He is a really nice kid.

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Mike! :) I have allergies, not a cold. I'm not sure which is worse, but sometimes the allergies hang around longer. :p

I'm glad your son got his application out. Brian, Jr. has only expressed an interest in getting away from the conservative South so far. :D I figure if he scores well enough to get into USC's honors college, he'll definitely be heading elsewhere. Thanks, anyway! I hope your son is accepted and loves USC!

[namtrag]

Well if he needs any inside scoop on colleges in Va, let me know. My older son is at UVA, I went to William and Mary, and have friends who attended VT, James Madison U, and U of Richmond.

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Mike! I've been trying to talk him into visiting UVA. I think it's such a beautiful campus. :)

[kimsquit]

Good morning Sunshine!

:)

[jaguarr]

On your mark ready set lets go
Dance floor pro I know you know

Just cant sit
Gotta get jiggy wit it
Ooh thats it
Now honey honey come ride
Dkny all up in my eye
You gotta prada bag with alotta stuff in it
Give it to your friend lets spin
Everybody lookin at me
Glancin the kid
Wishin they was dancin a jig
Here with this handsome kid
Ciga-cigar right from cuba-cuba
I just bite it
Its for the look I dont light it
Illway the an-may on the ance-day oor-flay
Givin up jiggy make it feel like foreplay
Yo, my car, yo its infinite-
Ha ha
Big willie styles all in it
Gettin jiggy wit it

Chorus:

Na na na na na na na nana
Na na na na nana
Gettin jiggy wit it
Repeat 3x

What you wanna ball with the kid
Watch your step you might fall
Trying to do what I did
Mama-unh mama-unh ima come closer
In the middle of the club with the rub-a-dub, unh
No love for the haters, the haters
Mad cause I got floor seats at the lakers
See me on the fifty yard line with the raiders
Met ali he told me Im the greatest
I got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser
Dj play another
From the prince of this
Your highness
Only mad chicks ride in my whips
South to the west to the east to the north
Bought my hits and watch em go off a go off
Ah yes yes yall and ya dont stop
In the winter or the (summertime)

Gettin jiggy wit em

Chorus

Eight-fifty i.s. if you need a lift
Whos the kid in the drop
Who else will smith
Livin that life some consider a myth
Rock from south street to one two fifth
Women used to tease me
Give it to me now nice and easy
Since I moved up like george and wheezy
Cream to the maximum I be askin em
Would you like to bounce with the brother thats platinum
Never see will attackin em
Rather play ball with shaq and um,

Trust the lady of my life she hittin
Hit her with a drop top with the ribbon
Crib for my mom on the outskirts of philly
You trying to flex on me

Getting jiggy wit it

Mornin', Hib! Hope the allergies lighten up, soon.

jag

[Hibiscus09]

Ha,ha -- I have that "Big Willie Style" CD or whatever it was called. :D I love it -- it's great cardio music! :p

Hope you're doing well, jag! :)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bIBrgQwjP9U

Hi Christopher!! Hope you're having a great day!

Okie dokes -- I have put up my front door garland, the lights, the wreathes and the stairway garland (big stairway :p ). Yesterday, I put out all of Brian's Possible Dreams Santas, Christmas pillows, a big nativity scene on the dining room table and various other things.

Now, I'm going to get dressed to go outside and head into my gym. Hopefully, the allergans won't close my breathing passages altogether. :eek: :D

[Hibiscus09]

I attempted a workout, children, and boy did I suck. I actually only skipped one set of one exercise due to almost fainting :D , but I certainly did not lift as heavy as I usually do. I did, however, lift as heavy as I could today!! :D

Warmup

8 minutes on the elliptical

Today's workout called for 3 sets of 12 reps with a 70 second rest between supersets

SS Dumbbell Romanian Deads with Situps

Deads

12 reps holding 30lb dbs
12 reps holding 35lb dbs
12 reps holding 40lb dbs*dawning on me that I am actually not feeling well at all. :D My arms were aching like crazy just holding the dbs

Situps

12, 12, 12

SS Incline DB Bench Press with Standing Calve Raises

Inclines

12 reps X 30lb dbs*felt heavy!! I HATE allergies.
12 reps X 30lb dbs
12 reps X 30lb dbs

Calves

12 reps each holding 30lb db X 3 sets

SS Db Upright Rows with Stepups

Rows

12 reps holding 15lb dbs
12 reps holding 20lb dbs
12 reps holding 15lb dbs

Stepups

12 reps holding 15lb dbs
12 reps holding 20lb dbs*this is the superset where I got all pasty and thought I was a gonner. I thought it would be wise not to continue this exercise. :)

Superset DB External Rotations with DB Pullovers

Rotations

12 reps X 5lb plates X 3 sets

Pullovers

12 reps holding 20lb db
12 reps holding 25lb db
12 reps holding 30lb db

*That was all. It's a good thing that workout was easier than Monday's. As I was leaving the garage, Brian was leaving the house and said, "Honey, you're white as a sheet. Go rest!"

I'm going to rest now.

I'll visit your journals tomorrow when I'm, hopefully, feeling more alive.

[jmc53]

Sorry you're not feeling well Diane. Nice workout under the circumstances!

[Hibiscus09]

Thank you, Jason! I thought I allergies had passed me by this Fall, but no such luck. I usually get them in October if I'm getting them. :p Oh, well. This too shall pass. :D I hope you're doing well!

Hiya Mark -- I just realized I missed you altogether earlier and I read what you said about your Broncos! :D I'm am so high today from allergy meds. :p That would be so cool if they make it to the Fiesta Bowl!

Do you have a preference -- Oklahoma or Nebraska?

[Gunn27]

There is nothing in that workout that suggests you were feeling yucky! Great job under the circumstances, rest up! :)

[Hibiscus09]

Thank you, sweetie! I hope you are doing well! :)

[justtryn]

Hiya Mark -- I just realized I missed you altogether earlier and I read what you said about your Broncos! :D I'm am so high today from allergy meds. :p That would be so cool if they make it to the Fiesta Bowl!

Do you have a preference -- Oklahoma or Nebraska?

I think both would be tough... but Nebraska seems to have been more inconsistent over the last few years. With either team we will have to play 100%.

[JD1213]

Hi, Hibby Wibby. Just want to drop by and show some Luv. Hope you feel better soon. Allergies suck.
Take care
-JD

[Hibiscus09]

Hi JD! Thanks for visiting! :) I'm so corroded right now. There's so much fluid in my nose, throat, and chest that I'm grossing me out. :p

Hi Mark! I'll pull for your team, regardless of who they play! Good luck! :)

I'm about to go sleepy. We just watched a Hallmark movie we had taped -- "Candles on Baystreet." I usually love Hallmark movies and this was the sappiest thing I'd ever seen. :D I was crying/laughing at the end -- *think hysterical* -- it was so goofy. Now, I'm stopped up worse than ever. :)

Sweet dreams!

[widebody195]

Hibby, sorry to hear about your allergies. It seems this year allergy season came later. My wife and kids have them too, and they're all miserable. Hope you feel better soon.

[montanamike]

Hey Hib !
Sorry for going MIA but I had a death in the family.
Yippie on your team winning.

Hope you feel better soon !

[Hibiscus09]

I hope it wasn't Butch.

Thanks, Mike!

[Hibiscus09]

Morning everyone! Still full of crud. :( I'm sure this will all be gone next week. Maybe I'll camp out on the couch this morning and try to watch "A Christmas Carol" again (sans Benadryl, so I can stay awake this time!)

I hope you guys have a wonderful day!

[jkeithc82]

Get some rest and take care of yourself. God Bless Us Everyone!

[Bob45]

Sorry about the allergies Hib. You did a good job pushing through with that workout though!

[Krissypoo]

Morning, Hibs! :D

I hope you start feeling better. Benedryl kicks my ass, too!

[jspirate]

I have no real reason for posting except to confess... Your journal title never fails to cause thoughts that I probably shouldn't be having. Or at the very least I should be admitting that I am having :eek:

[StlBarbie]

Darn HIBS .. still got it?? BAH!!!
Hope you are feeling better soon ... mostly, so you can get your squatting butt over here and decorate MY HOUSE!!!;) :D

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Barb! I can barely make it through my own house. :p The plan is to head out to buy new bows today (all of mine are old), but I don't know if I'm going to feel well enough to get dressed. I'm bugly today!! (butt ugly)

Hi jspirate! There was an article in our paper today about Skip Holtz. I'll post it in your journal in case you havent' seen it. :) I'm glad he's doing so well!

Hi Kris! I haven't drugged it up yet today, but am planning to very shortly. :D

Hi Bob! Thank you, sweetie!

Hi Hank! I love that story! I'd like to have a copy of all the versions made. :) I love the Albert Finney version, but we couldn't find it last year.

Hi Josh! Hope you have A great day, sweetie!

Thought for the day: Drugs are my friend. Say "Yes!" to drugs. :)

[StlBarbie]

I'm taking it that BUTT UGLY is NOT a good thing???? :p

Feel better HIBS .. and rest a damn minute, will ya??? ;)

[HoosierHardGain]

Get some chicken soup Hibby...that'll make it allllll better :)

[kimsquit]

happy Thursday, Diane :)

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Chris! :)

Hi Hoosier! :) I had some chicken noodle soup just a few minutes ago.

Hi Barb!

Okay, I took Alka Seltzer Plus Nighttime Cold Medicine and slept for several hours. I'm still corroded, but it did feel good to sleep.

jspirate, this journal title is making me think things too, but they have more to do with gluttony. :p (LOL -- every thought that came to mind for my next sentence is too X-rated to post! :D )

[=M=]

HIya Hibby. Happy Thursday!! :)

[Seosaid]

ok sorry about being late but I have a hard case of mommy brains and I can't quite follow when the thread title keeps changing ;)


Hope you fell better Hib!

[Chubby Mom]

Oh Hibby you poor baby so sorry that you are going through this get over it soon.

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Roseanne! I hate being sick. I have too much to do to be sick. :p

Hi Josie! There's someone out there who likes to change my thread titles. ;) I like this title! I'd like to have wine and chocolate every day!

Hi Melissa!

Okay, I know I must be looking bad now because Brian just asked, "Honey, is it okay if one of us sleeps in the guest bedroom?" Ha-ha. I think that means me since he's 6'3" tall and we have a California King bed in the master bedroom and a double bed in the guest bedroom. :p I guess I will sleep in there because I had to sleep sitting up last night and hacked all night long. Pooey! :p

I hope ya'll have all had a great day! I apologize for not dropping into too many threads to visit today. I slept most of the day and have been drugged up for all of the day.

Be good!

[GREENFEATHER]

I hope ya feel better hibbs!! Vit. C every 3 hours, Zinc and Echinacea or Goldenseal daily until healed.

I'll have to side with Big B on that one. I'm 6'5" tall and we have a Cal King as well. I DO NOT like it when my little (size 14) feet hang off the end of the bed! :D

[Bob45]

I'm taking it that BUTT UGLY is NOT a good thing???? :p

Feel better HIBS .. and rest a damn minute, will ya??? ;)

Hibs avatar and butt ugly just don't go together.

[Hibiscus09]

Yep, GF -- Brian hates that with a passion! We went to Europe once and all the beds were way too short for him. Poor thing! Being small has its advantages at times. :)

Awww, thank you Bob! You're a sweetie!

Well, I've taken Clarinex D, Nasacort, Mucinex and was desperately looking for cough medicine while ago (we're out! :( ). I think I'd have been better off just skipping the prescribed and OTC drugs and just going for a bottle of wine. :D I'd best not be doing that now, however.

Sweet dreams!

[jmc53]

Hi Diane,
Hope you're feeling better tomorrow.
Just noticed the new journal title - cool!

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Jason! :) Yep, I like the title also!

Well, I guess what I have has graduated into a bug. :p Little B has it now. Oops! I stayed up all night hacking/all stuffy. I wish the drugs would start fighting back a little. Maybe they are and I'd be dead if I weren't taking them. :D

I'm going to try and not let this defeat me as I was starting my new plan this week. Perhaps, I'll start over next week -- or just continue from where I left off. I don't think there's much chance of me lifting or doing cardio today. What do ya'll think? Start over or just pick up where I left off?

On an up note, I hope all of you have a very happy day!! I want snow. I see where lots of people are getting plenty of snow. Pooey. I hope we get snow this year.

Oh, and my youngest child (Brian, Jr.) is being inducted into the National Arts Honor Society on December 7th.

http://www.naea-reston.org/nahs.html

Awwww! I love that Brian takes after my father. He loves to read, is musically inclined and draws very well. :) He's also in the regular National Honor Society. To top it off, he looks and acts a lot like my brother who passed away when I was 21. He was my best friend. It's nice that God gave them both back to me in a way.

Brittany heads off today to go see her b-friend in Charleston and then, goes straight from there to here second week of Dealer School. I'm proud of her also. She's maturing so much. Heck, she's even buying us all Christmas gifts using her own money. :D LOL!

That's all. :)

[NuclearArms]

Good morning sunshine. Hope all are feeling better today as December rears its ________ head.

[Krissypoo]

Morning, Hibs! :D Ick to that bug. Drug it up, woman! Here's your chance to smoke that weed that you've been wanting to smoke. :p

Congrats to Little B. That rocks! How long is Brittany going to be in dealer school?

[Hibiscus09]

Note: I'm high as a kite from Benadryl so if anything sounds goofy in my post, that's why. :D

Hi Kris! Thank you! Dealer school classes are held every six weeks, lasting one week. It take's about a year to complete. Britt will go take classes next week covering a certain area of operating a car dealership (financials, parts, service, sales, etc). Then she will be given homework (projects) to do in the area that was covered. So, she comes home and works in that area for six weeks and then heads back.

Hi Nuc! I'm not feeling very sunshiney today. :p Hopefully, it will clear out of my body by the end of the weekend.

My theme song today:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Y7GMPJO64

[joed]

...I'm high as a kite from Benadryl...

You always were a cheap date.

[montanamike]

Diane,
Sorry you are still so sick.
Be careful and don't over medicate.
I know it's easy to do so in trying to get rid of the yukkie symptoms you are experiencing. I know, I did it once myself and ended up hositalized from it.
Drug interactions can be very dangerous, even with over the counter meds.

Take care and I hope you feel better soon.

Forget training until you feel better.

M&M :) (***insert monkey noises here*** ;) )

[Hibiscus09]

Hello monkey man. :) Thanks! I'm not taking too many drugs. Honest! ;)

Hi joed! That's what Brian has always said! :)

Man oh man, I'm on the verge of becoming a serious whiney butt. I HATE being sick. I am sooooo corroded. I would cry, but it will stuff me up more. :(

That's all.

[dbx]

Man oh man, I'm on the verge of becoming a serious whiney butt. I HATE being sick. I am sooooo corroded. I would cry, but it will stuff me up more. :(

That's all.

Hang in there sweetie, it'll get better. Maybe the cold front that blew down our way will help clear you up! :)

[StlBarbie]

AW HIBS!!!
So sorry you are STILL SICK ...BAH!!!
REST and RECOVER WILD WOMAN .. you'll up causing havoc before you know it!!! ;) :p

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Kevin and Barb. It's all in my ears. I hate that. Whine, whine, whine. LOL I'm going to curl up in front of the television with my blankie and a pillow. I wish I had some fat free hot chocolate. I need something comforting.

Speaking of which, I've only eaten two meals today. Damnit! I just don't feel hungry in the least and I can't breathe through my nose, so I hate using my other breathing hole to eat. :D

LOL!

[=M=]

Sorry you don't feel well, Hibs....hope you get better soon.
Have a good weekend, anyway. :)

[yogini]

Yikes! Is it allergies or a cold? I see that you are taking benadryl?

I hope you feel better soon! :)

[mom24boys]

I know exactly how ya feel hibs.hope ya feel better soon

[jmc53]

Any better today?

[Spitfire-1]

Know how you feel , i'm down with a cold/flu type thing myself.

If your not eating much make sure you at least have a multivit/min daily

Hope you feel better soon. :)

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, spitfire! :) I just hate it when it gets in my ears. My equilibrium is all messed up.

I forgot about a multi-vitamin. :eek: I'm so bad when I get sick. I don't feel like eating much of anything. I've gone from 125lbs to 122lbs in just a few days.

Hi Jason! Well, last night I only woke up three or four times and slept well otherwise. The night before, there was hardly any sleep so it was an improvement. Brian reminded me to take my Mucinex-DM last night (cough suppressant and expectorant (yuck! LOL)) and it helped me not to cough.

I'm tired of hearing myself whining. I feel like by Monday I'll be okay.

Thanks, Lisa! I hate allergies! In 2003 and 2004 I had them so bad that they lasted a month long and I had to take a couple rounds of antibiotics and prednisone to knock the ear infection out that resulted. It's not going to happen this time. I'm willing the cooties out of my system. ;)

Hi yogs! I'm pretty sure it's allergies. They make me feel sicker than a cold because they usually last longer. I remember the day this all started, I sneezed all day long.

Hi Melissa! Thank you!

Alrighty, enough of the crud talk.

On an upnote, my camellias are blooming and they are just beautiful! They're a real pretty light pink. I always want to cut a bunch of them and bring them in, but then I don't as I don't want to cut the pretty flowers off the bushes because I'm killing them.

Today is the Southeastern Conference Championship between Arkansas and Florida. I can't decide who to cheer on and I need to before the game. We play both teams each year. Arkansas has the best running back duo I've seen this year -- McFadden and Jones (I believe). It's fun to watch them do their thing. They were the toughest team, IMO, we've played this season. Florida has looked decent to me this year and I think if they get their passing game going, they may do well against Arkansas. Decisions, decisions. I may be leaning towards Arkansas.

I believe Oklahoma and Nebraska play today and the winner of that game will be playing against JTs Broncos.

Now, they've had a fun season! :)

http://www.broncosports.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9900&KEY=&SPID=4061&SPSID=48555

I can't think of anything else to blab about.

Oh, we watched Houston and Southern Mississippi play last night. I believe we'll get Houston (they won the game) at the Liberty Bowl.

On another note:

It's 7:35a.m. on a Saturday morning and little B just headed out to take his SAT. Fun!

I hope ya'll have a wonderful today. Today is my cheat meal day and considering I've lost several pounds, I suppose I'll cheat. I feel like I've been cheating by not eating, but it's hard to eat when you can't breathe.

This will sound gross, but I'm actually craving a Dijiorno's Harvest Wheat Pizza. :D

http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=product&m=product/Product_display&Site=1&Product=7192101267

Now, if that list of ingredients won't kill me, I don't know what will. :p Perhaps the craving is a sign I'm getting better. I haven't been thinking of food until this morning.

Be good and Happy Saturday!!

[Hibiscus09]

Well, I just looked at my family's web page and my sister, Paula, posted this:

Diane, I've had the sinus crud all week. Stayed home from work for two days. Been taking Zertec each night and the doctor called me in some Flonase today. Feeling better now that I have the nasal spray....have had a headache for a week. Maybe next week when the weather cools things will be better...good luck.

It's a family malady! ;) I suppose that confirms my allergy suspicions.

By the way, having a family web page on myfamily.com is such a nice thing. Since there are 14 children in my family, it's been a very nice way for us to touch base with each other frequently, share photos, etc. :)

[SV1000]

Hope you feel better soon Hibi ;)

[StlBarbie]

Morning HIBS!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend ... and I heard that drinking wine clears out the sinuses!!! :cool:

[Hank1962]

Hibbs,
Hope you feel better. Get some rest and take it easy this week.

[Krissypoo]

Underestimating Houston...*lol* Be careful! ;)

I hope that you're feeling a little better! Flonase is the best. Nothing worse than snorting stuff up your nose, but it definitely works. Have you tried it?

Happy Saturday, Hibs.

[Hibiscus09]

Ha,ha Kris -- I worded that incorrectly. By "get" -- I meant I believe they are the team we will be playing. I don't think they have announced who is playing who officially. :) I do, however, hope we win the game! :D

Did you go there?

Oh, and yes I've tried Flonase. I like it best. The last doctor I saw prescribed Nasacort, but next time I'll tell him to prescribe Flonase. :p

Happy Saturday to you also! :)

Thanks, Hank, Barb and SV!! :) Barb, I'd better not combine much wine with all these drugs, but it is very tempting! :p

[Krissypoo]

Nope, I didn't go to UoH. I went to a small private school in New Orleans. Undergrad was very interesting, let me tell you. :p

[Hibiscus09]

Oh, cool! I've never been to New Orleans. :p

I watched Houston play last night. I think they looked good, but I think we should be able to play them well. Of course, I always have high hopes for my Gamecocks. :)

[UCANDOIT]

Hi Hibi, get well soon, no more excuses now:D

[MarkY]

Good morning Hibby. I sure hope you feel all better real soon.

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Marcos! No excuses being made. If you want to find excuses in my journal, just look for any reason I give as to why I let myself drink wine! :D I just don't workout when I'm this sick. I looked in the mirror today and scared myself. :eek: :D Dark, dark circles under my eyes. Brian is looking at me a little worried also. I figure, hopefully (crossing my fingers), I'll be better by Monday and able to get back at it.

Hi MarkY! Thanks sweetie! If it isn't out of here by the beginning of next week, I'll go find a doctor and some antibiotics.

Okay, going to go watch football for the rest of the day! Ya'll be good!

[Hibiscus09]

Yay -- started seeing light at the end of the tunnel from about lunchtime forward. I don't feel great, but a lot better than I was feeling. I can breathe and some of the pressure on my ears and head is letting up. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe by Monday I'll be in working out shape again. :D

I enjoyed all the football today. I watched Wake and GT play, then USC and UCLA, some of the Rutgers game (flipping back and forth) and mostly tonight, Florida and Arkansas. I kind of wanted Arkansas to win, but I knew if Florida was able to stop their rush that they would probably pass all over them. It was an exciting game and both teams played well. Now, I guess it's a toss up between Florida or Michigan against Ohio State. I say Ohio State wins it all. :)

Nighty night. I hope ya'll have sweet dreams!

[Baldsnake]

I hate football.

[MarkY]

Hi Hibby. Just heard that Spurrier signed a new contract till 2012. Got a nice half million a year pay raise so I guess he won't be heading south.

Hope you're feeling much better.

[StlBarbie]

Morning HIBS!!!:)
How are you feeling today??

[Hibiscus09]

Morning, Barb! Better. Still a little congested and a little weak, but nothing like I was for a couple of those days. :eek: I'm going to workout tomorrow, regardless. I'll probably just have to take longer breaks to catch my breath. :p Thanks for asking!

Hi MarkY! I think one of those schools further south was offering him a million more. He's made it pretty clear from Day 1 that he wasn't going anywhere. They just keep trying and trying. I guess you can't blame them for trying. :) He had just moved his daughter here and her kiddies had just registered into local schools. I think he's planning on staying.

Hi Baldie! :( I thought about you while watching that go on. I'm so sorry!

Today, I'm going to see if I can return to the land of the living. Hopefully, I'll be able to come out of pajamas. :p

Britto is heading off for another week of dealer school today. Little B seems to feel good about his SAT. They're both so easy going.

I hope you guys have a great day! Nothing on the agenda here except the Cowboys at 4:00 this afternoon. I guess I'll pull for Brian's team since my team has bit it this season. ;)

Be good and happy Sunday!

[Krissypoo]

*waves*

Happy Sunday, Hibs! There is absolutely nothing wrong with lounging around all day in your pj's. ;) When it's cold out, that's the best!

Hope you feel well enough to workout tomorrow. Chocolate helps! :D

[Hibiscus09]

Ha,ha -- don't say that! Mrs. Smith gave us a huge thing of dark chocolate truffles for our anniversary! :eek: I've been doing a good job of pretending they aren't here. :)

Happy Sunday, Kris!

[ms_mac]

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Hib!

[kimsquit]

happy Sunday, Diane!

~ Chris

[Hank1962]

Happy Monday Hibbs!!! It a clear and cold day with a low of 15 today. Hope all is bright and sunny down south.

[montanamike]

You feeling better Hib?
Listen, as I see you really wanted some snow, I am sending you a box of snow balls for you to have fun with. Any updated pics/stats ? ;)

[StlBarbie]

Happy Monday HIBS!!
Glad to see you are starting to get some relief!!
Enjoy the wo today!!!:)

[Krissypoo]

Happy Monday, Hibs!

[jkeithc82]

Happy Monday Hibby. Shoot me a pm when you get the chance. :D

[Seosaid]

How are you feeling today Hib?

Savor that chocolate you deserve it.

[Hibiscus09]

Hi ms_mac! Thank you!

Hi Chris!

Hi Hank! It's chilly here, but not that cold. Brittany said it was 7 degrees where she's at this morning. She was not happy. :p

Hi Mike! "Better" is relative. I feel better than "totally like crap," but that's all I have to say. :p

Oh, yeah -- I want to post pics when I've been about to die and take stats when I took a week off and then was sick for a week. I'll get right on that. ;)

Hi Barb! Thanks! I didn't enjoy it. :)

Hi Josh! I've been wondering what you've been up to. :)

Hi Josie! Ha -- I'd better stay away from the chocolate. I have to go see Pam on the 15th and it isn't looking good for the home team.

Okie dokes -- I decided to just start back where I left off instead of starting over. Today's workout on the schedule was a circuit type workout doing as many reps as possible for 2 minutes with a 90s rest between exercises. Whatever. I was winded walking out into the garage! LOL

I gave it a go with my own adaptations, as usual. I decided to go for 50 rep sets as I don't have a clock to watch while doing a set. I suppose I should get one with a second hand to hang in my gym. I normally rely on a watch I have hooked to my elliptical.

Anyhoo:

Warmup 5 minutes on the elliptical*Totally winded me and I was hacking something awful.

A1 BB Deadlift (I don't do deadlifts -- they thicken my waistline -- decided to do SLDLs as I would rather hit hamstrings anyway.)

so,

A1 SLDL

Set 1: 25lb dbs X 50 reps
Set 2: the same
Set 3: the same

A2 Pushups (Whatever -- I can't do pushups for 2 minutes!)

A2 Incline DB Bench Press

Set 1: 15lb dbs X 50r *that felt like it was tiring out my arms more than working my chest
Set 2: 20lb dbs X 25r *felt more like a chest workout
Set 3: 20lb dbs X 25r

A3 Back Squat *not happening today, boys & girls!

A3 Leg Press*figured that at least if I fainted, I wouldn't fall on the floor and bust my head open. LOL

Set 1: 200lbs X 25 reps *almost quit the whole workout here. I just wasn't feeling well at all and my heartrate was at 200bpm. That's high for me.

Set 2: 200lbs X 25 reps *that's all I could take of those today

A4 Lat Pulldowns*Yay, actually did an exercise that was suggested. :p

Set 1: 40lbs X 50 reps*felt like I could raise that a bit
Set 2: 50lbs X 50 reps
Set 3: 50lb X 50 reps

Okay, well that felt like a hard workout to me and the only thing worse than how I felt is how that person staring back at me from the mirror looked!

I did it and that's all I have to say about that. Hope ya'll have a glorious day!

[justtryn]

Morning Hib! That was a good workout for someone not feeling 100% - heck it was a good workout, regardless!

So - are you going to watch the Fiesta Bowl on the 1st? I was hoping we'd play Nebraska, rather than Oklahoma. Oh well - should be a good game if we go in and play OUR game.

[kimsquit]

I'm glad your allergies are settling down, Hibby...hopefully they'll be totally gone soon!

:)

~ Chris

[jspirate]

I did it and that's all I have to say about that.

This is a great line Hibiscus!

Great job on the work-out too!

[Simpy]

Those are crazy reps. That's why I stay away from aerobics classes. They always try to throw in about 100 reps with 8 lb weights. I can't do it and it's bad on my ego.

Have a great week, Hibs! :D

[HoosierHardGain]

I did it and that's all I have to say about that.

Momma always said Hibby's journal was like a box of chocolates....

[Chubby Mom]

Wow! Hibby that is quite the workout :) don’t over do it.

[Spitfire-1]

I know how you feel with the leg work at the moment. You just can't get the oxygen required quick enough.


Good effort

keep it up, but don't push it too much just yet!

wish you well,

paul.... :)

[pastorgbc]

Good day, Hibby.

Good to see you back at the iron. I hope you continue to feel better.

Ray

[scienceteacher]

I am spraying Lysol as I type this. Congrats on the extension to your coach and I hope you lick this bug soon.

[jmc53]

Hi Diane,
Sorry you're not 100& yet.
Were you half joking about the 200 bpm?
Using the old formula 175 would be your recommended max for exercise.

[namtrag]

Hi Hibs,

Hope you're over it now. I was in Las Vegas for 3 days, and I felt like crap the whole time. I had fun anyway, but it could have been a lot funner (is that a real word?).

I hope they don't take away the out of state student scholarships to pay Spurrier's raise (lol).

My favorite team (OU) gets to play Justryn's team, maybe he and I should make a bet!

[Bob45]

Sorry to hear you still aren't feeling too good. Me neither. I just got my cold back again!

[Krissypoo]

:eek:

Holy reps! And you didn't puke? Nice! :D

[SV1000]

Get well soon Hib's! And what's up with the heartrate, that does not sound good at all!

[GREENFEATHER]

Thickens your waist, oh wait we've already been over this! :D Have a good one hibbs.

[JD1213]

I hope you feel better real soon.
JD

[widebody195]

A3 Leg Press*figured that at least if I fainted, I wouldn't fall on the floor and bust my head open. LOL


Hiya Hibby. I'm surprised you waited until Leg Press to think about fainting. This after 50 rep SLDL's! Sheesh!

[UCANDOIT]

Hi Hibi
Glad to see you back in your happy place again. Hope you are taking it slowly and getting back into it slow and steady, rememeber that is why we are all here in the over 35's site:D
Cheers
Marcos

[Krissypoo]

Morning, Hibs. :) How are you feeling?

[Hank1962]

Hibbs,
Nice workout! Hard to believe you are under the weather. Make sure you save some energy for Christmas shopping!!!;)

[scienceteacher]

Good morning Carolina Girl<=and I mean that from the beach song. Hope you are still improving.

[StlBarbie]

HIBBY???
HIBS????????
Are you even ALIVE after THAT??????????????:eek: :p

Have a great day Diane!!!:)

[montanamike]

Hibs,
I am glad you are feeling better.
That WO would have killed probably 90% of the people here.
Sorry, I was not trying to say you need to take pics when you are all sick.
Though if you did, I'd bet you'd still look HOT ;)

I am off to do some cardio with Butch. Oh, I ordered him a new jacket online yesterday. It should be here by friday. :)

Have a great day !

[Hibiscus09]

Morning, Mike! :) Cool about the new jacket. I need to figure out what I want for Christmas. I've ordered/bought everyone else's gifts, but they are getting impatient for me to turn over my list.

Hi Barb! Still kicking! :) I am quite sore today and that surprised me. I always feel like I'm not getting a good workout when I have a bad attitude, but I guess I kicked my butt despire the sorry attitude! :D

Hi scienceteacher! :) I am mostly better, but both ears are stuffy. I hate that!

Hi Hank! I always have energy for shopping. ;)

Hi Kris! A little better each day!

Hi Marcos! Not quite in my happy place yet, but functioning again. LOL

Hiya widebody! I was just doing what crazy Waterbury boy had on the list.

Hi JD! Thank you!

LOL, GF! I have nothing against deadlifts, I just did them heavy for quite a while and didn't like the resulting changes to my physqiue. ;)

Hi SV! I'm sure it was the meds. (Well, and the fact that I couldn't breathe well.)

Hi again Kris -- nope, no puking thank God!

Hi Bob! Sorry you have a cold.

Hi Mike! It seems to be going around. I'm glad you still had fun in Vegas. I'm glad they gave Spurrier a raise. He needed to be in line with other top college football coaches' salaries. USC has money coming out of their behinds, apparently. I think your son's scholly money is safe.

Hi Jason -- no, I wasn't joking, but I'm sure it's all these allergy meds. I stopped doing the leg presses for that reason. No need killing myself.

Hi sciencetecher! Smart idea about the Lysol. Thanks about Spurrier!

Hi Ray -- thank you!

Hi Paul and Rosanne! Thanks -- I won't push it too hard.

Hi Hoosier! I need to watch that movie again. I haven't seen it in quite a while.

Hi Leah! I don't always do reps like that. I'm following a Waterbury plan and trying to stick to what he says to do. I much, much prefer lower reps and heavy weight.

Ha,ha jspirate. I stole that line!

Hi Chris! Thank you!

Hi Mark! I'll be sure to keep up with your team on the 1st! Shhhh, don't tell Mike, but I'm rooting for your team. LOL I think it's so cool they've made it into the Fiesta Bowl!

Wowzers, that was a lot of people/replies.

Good morning all! I'm sore from yesterday's workout already. It's a funny thing, but I've noticed when I do high rep workouts, I get sore almost immediately and the next day and then it's gone. With low reps/heavy weight, I'm not sore the next day but get sore the following day. Hmmmm. Weird.

My ears are completely stuffed up. It's sooooo annoying. My nose is clear as long as I take my drugs. I don't like the drugs because I feel dehydrated no matter how much water I drink. I'm not taking creatine while on these drugs. That's it for the whining today.

I'm going to go shopping for some new stuff for my Christmas decorations and then do cardio this afternoon.

I hope everyone has a glorious day!

[Hibiscus09]

Alrighty, I just turned in 40 minutes on the elliptical. I'm going to try to do that every day until I see Pam, so she won't go into shock over my bodyfat %. :D

I had the cold sweat thing going on like I generally do when working out ill, but other than that it was fine. The allergy meds hype me up and it's like taking ephedra to do my cardio. I'll take the extra energy burst at the moment quite gladly. :)

Have a great evening everyone!!

[Hank1962]

Cheers for ephedra!!! It takes a valid ID and 20 minutes in line to buy cold remedies in Ohio now. I guess the workout rush is a nice added feature that I hadn't considered. Some where out there my name is on a list of cold med users that is being reviewed by the goverment.:)

[pastorgbc]

Good morning Hibby.

I'm glad to see that you are slugging through the allergies and still getting it done. I hope the 40 mins of cardio allows you to save face with Pam.

Ray

[scienceteacher]

I hope the best looking Gamecock fan in the world is better today.

[StlBarbie]

Morning HIBS .. glad to see you back to your SASSY SELF!!!:D

[kimsquit]

Good morning Diane :)

How is your Wednesday going?

Morning, Hibs. Ephedra?! The real deal? Lucky...

When do you see Pam again?

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Kris! No ephedra. Heck, I can barely take a Lipo6 without having a heart attack. When I was younger, I could take the ephedra supps but by my late 30s every time I tried I would end up on the gym floor about to pass out. Pooey! I loved that rush back when I could take things like that. :p

I see Pam again on the 15th, at which time she will say "You Suck!" and send me back to the drawing board hoping I'll actually do what she tells me. It's hard to get anywhere cheating on Thanksgiving and an anniversary, taking a week off and then, getting sick. Pooey again! :D

Hi Chris! My Wednesday has been fine. I felt real low energy and blah again today, so I spent most of the day making bows -- lots and lots of bows -- for my stairway garland. They're purty. I also re-decorated my front door wreaths so they match the stairway garland.

Oooh, and I hate that damn 60 second rule also. It's so irritating. I'm a fast girl and that slows me down. :p

Hi Barb! I'm always sassy. :D

Awww, thanks scienceteacher! Still better than I was, but still not feeling fantastic. I like feeling fantastic! :)

Hi Ray! Thank you! I sure hope it does too, but I'm kind of doubting it.

Hi Hank! Ha,ha about the Sudafed. There are people that use it for that. There was an article in the paper today about kids abusing cough syrup:

Teen cough medicine abuse sees sharp rise

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Kids call it robo-tripping or skittling — downing high doses of cough syrup or pills to get high off dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant commonly found in over-the-counter medicines.

A new study concludes that robo-tripping is sharply on the rise among teens. Calls to the California Poison Control System’s 24-hour hot line involving teen abuse of the ingredient ballooned by 15 times over six years.

In large doses, dextromethorphan can cause euphoria and hallucinations, part of the “high” teens describe on Internet sites promoting the drug known as DXM, CCC, Triple C, Skittles and Robo. It also can result in seizures, vomiting, dangerous spikes in blood pressure or body temperature and psychosis, and fatal overdoses have been reported.

I've never heard of such. I'm just not keeping up.

Okay guys and gals, I felt low energy all day today and finally did 40 minutes of cardio tonight. That made me just feel kind of dizzy so I'm glad I didn't attempt the hard workout on my schedule for today.

I'll do the lifting workout tomorrow and probably skip cardio.

Ya'll have a wonderful evening!

Poor thing :(. I'm sure you'll be jiggy again in no time :).

[mom24boys]

Hiyas Diane wtg on cardio when your not feeling well. Happy Hump Day

[montanamike]

How's the sexiest Gamecock fan in the country today?

Good job on your cardio.
I think I'd skip training if I was feeling like you have been.
You surely are one dedicated and commited (or is that committible ? ;)) woman.

[scienceteacher]

Stick your head to the computer screen and I will exercise the evil demonic bugs out.......Ready

EVIL BUGS COME OUT!!!!!!!


Hope that helped

[Hibiscus09]

Ha,ha scienceteacher! Now I have a bump on my head! :D

Thank you!!

Hi Mike! Definitely committed. ;)

Hi Lisa! I'm a whiney butt, huh? :D Thanks!

Hi Kevin! I sure hope so!

Good morning boys and girls! I'm heading outside at 9:00 or 9:30 to do my lifting. Brian is in my way right now and I need some gym alone time.

I also need to buy a present for Nancy's sister [ edit: proof I'm on drugs. I meant to type Brian's sister, Nancy, ], attend her birthday luncheon, and go by Hobby Lobby or Wal-mart.

I hope ya'll have a glorious day!

Everytime I cough, I feel like someone around me has the opportunity to have Nickleodeon's famous "You've been Slimed!" screamed in their direction. :eek: :D

[someday]

take care of yourself and hope you're feeling better soon!

[Bob45]

So your still sick too! It's seems like it comes just when things are going great too. Doesn't it?

[Krissypoo]

Just drink a hot toddy. You'll be a-okay(and out cold :p) in no time!

Happy shopping!

[Hank1962]

Hibbs,
Hope you are feeling better soon :). It stinks to have a cold during the holidays. There is so much to do and so little time.

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Chris! Beautiful flowers! :)

Hiya Barb and Kris! A hot toddy sounds great to me! :D

Okay, today's workout said to repeat Day 1 and to increase the duration of each set by 10 seconds (whatever). LOL I decided just to add 2 reps to each set and sometimes weight also -- depending on how I was feeling.

Superset Roman Chair Squats with Reverse Crunches* There's a 60 second rest period between each superset.

Roman Chairs

8 reps holding 15 lb dbs (30lbs) X 4 sets

Reverse Crunches

Did 6 reps last time. This time:

10 reps X 4 sets

Superset Standing Alternating DB Shoulder Press with 1 Arm Dumbbell Rows*60 second rest. I was getting a little winded at the end of these.

Standing Militaries

8 reps each arm X 15lb dbs
8 reps each arm X 20lb dbs
8 reps each arm X 25lb dbs
7 reps each arm X 25lb dbs

One Arm DB Rows

8 reps each arm X 25lb db
8 reps each arm X 30lb db
8 reps each arm X 35lb db
8 reps each arm X 40lb db

Superset Bulgarian Split Squat Torture with Single Leg SLDL*Supposed to be 60 second rest between supersets, but the last two supersets were more like a minute 15 seconds. I was feeling queasy and couldn't catch my breath.

Spawn of Satans (Bulgarians)

8 reps each leg holding 20lb dbs X 4 sets

Single Leg SLDLs

8 reps holding 25lb db
8 reps holding 30lb db
8 reps holding 35lb db (up from 6 @ 30 last week)
8 reps holding 35lb db

Superset Dips with DB External Rotations*I tried dips, but just felt too weak to do them. Waterbury gives the option to do decline db presses instead, so I went with that option. Why I thought it was a good idea to put my head at a decline is beyond me. :p

Declines

8 reps X 4 sets X 20lb dbs*I could normally go heavier, but I was not feeling particularly strong.

DB External Rotations*even with these teenie weights, these things burn my shoulders like crazy! :eek:

8 reps holding 5lb plates
8 reps holding 5lb plates
8 reps holding 5lb plates
8 reps holding 5lb plates

That was it! At least I made it through it. Yippee!

[Spitfire-1]

You will need some BIG tissues to deal with all that green stuff !!!!


Good effort with the workout

Hot bath to sooth the aches will help, keep taking your vit/mins......you hear!


later ..... :)

[HoosierHardGain]

Great looking workout, Hibby. Hope you get to feeling better!

[Chubby Mom]

Your doing great Hibby :) you'll be back to yourself before you know it .

[Bob45]

You did a lot. How did you feel afterward? Like you needed a full body massage? :D

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Bob! Yep, come on over! :D ;)

I actually felt alright today after my workout. Lately, when I do exercise it wipes me out, but I feel pretty decent today. Yay!

Thanks, Rosanne! I see light at the end of the tunnel. :p

Hi Hoosier! Thank you!

Hi Paul! Thanks for giving me the vitamin reminders. I tend to stop taking them when I'm taking other drugs, but I do need to remember to take my vities!

I'm going to leave soon for little B's induction ceremony for the National Arts Honor Society. :)

I don't know if ya'll know what I'm talking about when I say "Roman Chair Squats," but I mean my sissy squat apparatus. In case you were wondering. :D

Ya'll have a nice evening!

[mom24boys]

Deal Hibs I will bring the 'Ritas :)

[scienceteacher]

Glad everything is getting better. How's the bump on the head?

[Hank1962]

Hibb's,
Glad you are feeling better and a heck of a workout!!! Hard to believe you got all that in in one workout!!. Way to go! Are you feeling the pain today?

[montanamike]

Hibbiddy Bibbiddy !
That is great you are starting to feel better.
Congrats on your boy's achievements.
I am sure that makes you a very proud mom. :)

Anything exciting on tap this weekend, being is you don't have any Cocks to cheer on? :p Some NFL action maybe ? :)

Have a great weekend!

[Hibiscus09]

Good morning sweet people!

Hi MM! Hope you're doing well and that all is marvelous in Montana. Give Butch a big fat kiss for me. :)

Thanks about me feeling better and about Brian, Jr.

Ummm, I always have the Cocks on my mind. :) I cheer for them in the off season also. We just landed a hottie 4-star QB prospect. Too bad I'm not a youngin! :p

http://sports.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/related/C272/

As for NFL action, my Steelers are picking up so that's a good thing but I don't know whether they'll make the playoffs. Brian's 'Boys are doing well also, so if the Steelers don't make it -- they're my team.

Hi Hank! Thank you, sweetie! I am feeling it today. I make fun of Waterbury boy, but he is kicking my tail with these workouts. Most especially today, my back, abs, glutes and hammies are feeling it bigtime.

Hi scienceteacher. Well, it's swollen and just starting to get a purple tint to it. :D

Hi Lisa!! Yum!!!!!! Come on down!!

Okay, Brian, Jr.'s National Art Honor Society induction was last night. It was soooo funny! They let the kids plan and execute the ceremony and it lasted 10 minutes tops. I think they should start letting the kids plan and implement all of the school ceremonies. :p They were really cute/sweet and said the pledge, lit primary colored candles & then, handed the kids their certificates. Little B was looking very stylish as his blue hair matched his blue shirt. LOL

We were able to take a tour down the hall where they had hung all the student artwork. It's amazing what they can do.

On today's agenda is getting our Christmas tree put up and decorated. I also need to run by the store to get some silver paint (for my reindeer) and a few other silver things to make the tree tie in with the rest of the decorations.

Planned exercise today is 40 minutes on the elliptical.

Ya'll have a great day!!

Happy Friday!!

[pastorgbc]

That's an excellent workout, Hibby. I especially liked the "spawn of satan" movement. Talk about a need for "exorcise" (humor--arr! arr!).

I hope you have a great weekend.

Ray

[Miranda]

Ummm, I always have the Cocks on my mind. :)

one . . . two . . . .three . . .

[Hibiscus09]

Thank you, Ray! Har, har! :D My hubby thinks I need to be exorcised regularly! :)

Hi Miranda!!! :D Happy Friday!!

[scienceteacher]

I was going to ask if you followed the Cocks basketball team. Dave Odom is from here, in fact I dated his niece when he was an asst. at UVA. She was a cutie.

[kimsquit]

hiya Hibby :D

[Hibiscus09]

I was going to ask if you followed the Cocks basketball team. Dave Odom is from here, in fact I dated his niece when he was an asst. at UVA. She was a cutie.

She must not have looked a thing like him. :eek: :D

I follow them somewhat, but not much. We have season tickets on the second row and they are really cool seats. We usually give them away to friends, but occasionally head to the games.

Morning, Christopher!

[StlBarbie]

TGIF HIBS!!!!
GREAT to see you feeling so PERKY!!!
Needless to say, have a great weekend!!!:)

[scienceteacher]

She must not have looked a thing like him. :eek: :D

!

Her Mom and his sister was and is HOT!

He's a good guy though.

[Hibiscus09]

Yes, he is a nice man. Just not purty. :)

http://images.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&hl=en&q=dave+odom&btnG=Search+Images

He's fun to sit near at the basketball games. We're right behind the Gamecock's bench and man, does he get crazy yelling sometimes on the sidelines. It makes the game more interesting. Is it sidelines in basketball? I think not. Maybe courtside? :D

Hiya Barb! I hope you have a great weekend also!!

[Krissypoo]

It's the sideline. :p My dad is a basketball coach and they have some of the most colorful language. He held no prisoners. I played varsity for my last year and the first day of practice was one that I'll never forget. *lol*

So if you think the game is bad, go to a practice with Dave. You'd be sure to cry. :D

[empresscat]

I'm looking at getting some tickets to a basketball game for a friend and I as a Christmas present (the Globetrotters will be in town in early Feb.)

I can't decide if halfway up the first tier, near center court is better seating, or on the floor behind the basket. Same ticket price...

[IdahoViking]

[Hibiscus09]

I think I'd rather be halfway up the first tier. I hate sitting in the endzones for sporting events. That should be fun, empress. I don't think I've seen the Globetrotters since way back when Medowlark Lemon and Curly Neal were on the team. :)

[Bob45]

Hi Hib! Have a great weekend. :D

[Hibiscus09]

Thanks, Bob! You too! Is it cold there? It must be. It's freezing-A cold here! :p

[empresscat]

center court on the floor is the best!

yeah. and also cost three times what I'm talking about paying!

Yeah, I was leaning toward those seats.
On the floor is great, but to be behind the basket might really suck.

[Gator]

Hiya Hibby..

hope u have a great weekend..
Glad the workouts r going well ta boot

Gator

[Hibiscus09]

Gator!! Come back. Where have you been??!! I miss you! Heck, you didn't even come by to rag me when the Jolly Green Giant blocked our field goal. :D That was a happening game, huh? Congrats to your Gators for making it to the National Championship game. I was glad they picked ya'll because I didn't want to see Ohio State and Michigan in a rematch. You guys are going to have a tough row to how with Ohio State. :p

I hope you're doing well! Have you made any Gator babies yet? :D

[Hank1962]

Hibbs,
Did someone say Buckeyes?:) Should be a good game. Hope to complete most of the Christmas shopping this weekend and start stocking the fridge. My army of boys begin arriving home Tuesday of next week and they eat 7 or 8 meals a day. Hope you are all set for the Holidays down South. Have a great weekend Hibbs!

[Spitfire-1]

have a good weekend , hope you are starting to feel better.

paul

[Hibiscus09]

Hi Paul! I am feeling a bit better each day, thank you! I'll stay a bit stuffy for a while, but at least I'm not feeling sick anymore. :)

Hi Hank! Well, when I typed "you guys are going to have a tough row to how with Ohio State. " I meant "hoe" not "how" :D , obviously, but this silly system won't let you edit the next day. I'm thinking Ohio State will win that game, but what do I know? :p

How many boys do you have and are they coming home from school somewhere? I am almost set for the holidays. I need to decorate my tree this weekend. Brian brought a tree home yesterday and it looks very pretty. I'll be glad when I can smell it! Brian says it smells real nice. I have most of my shopping done, thank goodness, and it's mostly been done online. Yay!

Good morning, everyone! I slept until 10:20 -- double Yay! I'm going to lift and do cardio in the early afternoon and tonight we're going to the movies and out to eat.

I hope ya'll have a great Saturday!!

Wow, that is awesome! I can't recall the last time I slept that late.

Have a great time at the movies and eating out. My wife and I got a baby sitter and are doing something very similar. We don't do it very often and we are both looking forward to it.

What movie are you gonna see? If you are a Bond fan I can recommend Casino Royal :)

[Hibiscus09]

Morning, jspirate! I've seen Casino Royale and really liked it. :) I can't remember the name of the movie, but we're going to see the movie with Will Farrell and Emma Thompson where she's an author writing a book about him and he's hearing her narration in his head.

Are you guys going to the movies? Glad you have a sitter and get the opportunity for a date.

[Bob45]

Thanks, Bob! You too! Is it cold there? It must be. It's freezing-A cold here! :p

It was the coldest day we've had so far yesterday and very windy. I don't mind the cold if it stays cold. It keeps getting warm and cold. It's hard to get used to anything.

[Seosaid]

Good morning, everyone! I slept until 10:20 -- double Yay!

LUCKY YOU!!! :D

Rest for me will you.... the more sleep I've had in the last month is 1, sometimes 2 hours at the time, I pretty much envy you right now! http://www.oxygenmag.net/images/smilies/smilieA3.gif

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better Hib nothing worse than being sick around Xmas time.

[Hibiscus09]

Hi IV! Will do! :) Hope you're doing well!

Hi Bob! It's beautiful outside today. Sunny, but nice and brisk!

Hi Josie! I remember having tears roll down my face at times as I fed Brittany in the middle of the night. I was soooo tired! I hope you're able to get some rest in!

Okie dokes -- I just walked for about an hour and 10 minutes with Brian in the hood. It felt great! I'm going to eat and then lift in a bit.

:)

[Hibiscus09]

Okay -- today's workout was a repeat of my workout on 11/29th so I'm cutting and pasting that workout and I'll put what I did today in parentheses.

The workout called for 3 sets of 12 reps with a 70 second rest between supersets. Today was supposed to be the same but with 5 seconds less rep. I switched it to 10 seconds less and also increased reps or weights or both on the exercises.

SS Dumbbell Romanian Deads with Situps

Deads

12 reps holding 30lb dbs (12 reps holding 35lb dbs)
12 reps holding 35lb dbs (holding 40lb dbs)

Situps

12, 12, 12 (15, 15, 15)

SS Incline DB Bench Press with Standing Calve Raises

Inclines

12 reps X 30lb dbs (15 reps)
12 reps X 30lb dbs (15 reps)
12 reps X 30lb dbs (15 reps) *Wowzers, barely got rep #15 out. Those were tough on an old lady.

Calves*switched these to seated calve raises for this week and held dumbbell on my knee.

12 reps each holding 30lb db X 3 sets (15 reps each leg using 35, 40 & 45lb dbs)

SS Db Upright Rows with Stepups

Rows

12 reps holding 15lb dbs (15 reps holding 15lb dbs)
12 reps holding 20lb dbs (15 reps holding 20lb dbs)
12 reps holding 15lb dbs (15 reps holding 20lb dbs)

Stepups *I can definitely tell I was sick from looking at last week's performance. :p

12 reps holding 15lb dbs (12 reps holding 25lb dbs)
12 reps holding 20lb dbs (12 reps holding 25lb dbs)
(another set @ 12 reps holding 25lb dbs)

Superset DB External Rotations with DB Pullovers

Rotations

12 reps X 5lb plates X 3 sets (15 reps X 5lb paltes X 3 sets)

Pullovers

12 reps holding 20lb db (12 reps holding 25lb db)
12 reps holding 25lb db (12 reps holding 30lb db)
12 reps holding 30lb db (12 reps holding 35lb db)

*Overall it felt like a strong workout and I was definitely doing better than last week.

Voila!! Now, I'm going to nap until time to get ready for the movies. :D

Oh, and these workouts (Waterbury's) have really been keeping my bootay, hip area, back and abs sore almost constantly. Especially my bootay and hip. :eek: Hope they're keeping my big bootay perky!

[jmc53]

Hi Diane,
Glad you're feeling a bit better.
Solid workout.
(I don't usually hear "perky" in connection with bootay, it's usually another body part).

[Krissypoo]

*waves*

Hi Hibs. :) Sounds like you're having a good weekend. And a great workout to boot!

Can't wait to hear how the movie is. It sounds interesting!

Happy late Saturday.

[empresscat]

Impressive workout!

[jspirate]

I was going to ask if you followed the Cocks basketball team. Dave Odom is from here, in fact I dated his niece when he was an asst. at UVA. She was a cutie.

Hey scienceteacher... your profile pic shows baseball. Were you an assistant baseball coach at UVA? Just curious...

And... good morning Hibiscus <<hugs>>

[Hibiscus09]

Happy Sunday to all!

Thanks Jason, EC and Kris! :)

Hi jspirate!

I've been a slug today. I watched "Family Man" this morning and have been watching "Gladiator" this afternoon. I'm about to go finish watching it.

I really liked "Stranger than Fiction" and Brian said it was good, but not great. He was expecting a hilarious funny movie and it was more a sensitive/funny movie. He may have thought it was a "chick flick." :)

Hope you guys are doing great! I've done all my cardios and lifting for this week. I considered doing cardio today, but based on the fact that I'm still lazing around watching movies -- I'm kind of doubting I'll find the motivation. :D

Be good!

[kimsquit]

oh the weather outside is frightful
but Hibby is so delightful
with her training and cardio,
watch her grow, watch her grow, watch her grow!


:)

[Hibiscus09]

Ha,ha -- not much growing going on around here today. :p This has been a wonderful, relaxing day. Yay! :)

[joed]

I guess you could say you're growing relaxed, hehe. Glad you're having a great wkend.

[GREENFEATHER]

Ha,ha -- not much growing going on around here today. :p This has been a wonderful, relaxing day. Yay! :)

I took a few days off myself, the elbow is actually thanking me for it. The down side is I now have 2 more toture devices to use on us, lol!!

[StlBarbie]

So glad you enjoyed a wonderful day doing nothing .... I LOVE those!!!:)

Have a great Sunday evening HIBS!!!:)

[dbx]

....watching "Gladiator" this afternoon

Strength and honor! :cool:

I've been on a Christmas movie watching binge. Watched Miracle on 34th Street (1947'...my favorite version) and Elf the other night, and Christmas Vacation today. :)

[Bob45]

Ha,ha -- not much growing going on around here today. :p This has been a wonderful, relaxing day. Yay! :)

This is different. I'm glad your having a relaxing day Hib! :cool:

[eddied27]

Ha,ha -- not much growing going on around here today. :p This has been a wonderful, relaxing day. Yay! :)

Nice to here Hib! Hope it was all you expected and more!

Be well......Ed

I hope your rest day yesterday was nice?
That was one hell of a WO you did on saturday.
Good going!

Have a great week SEXY ;)

[jkeithc82]

[Hank1962]

Hibbs,
Christmas shopping wrapped up this weekend!!! Fridge stock with middle son's favorites. Workout progressing well. Hope your week is off to a great start!!

[Hibiscus09]

Hola mis amigos! :)

I'll be back shortly to respond to my journal visitors. Just dropped in to say I'm 12 weeks out today from goal date, so it's time to reform. Ewwwww! :D ;)

I'm going to begin three thirty minute pre-breakfast cardio sessions a week (in addition to my other three thirty minute sessions later in the day) and am about to head out there for my morning torture. Drinking drugs right now -- praying for energy. :p

Be back in just a bit. . . .

So where do you think you are falling in at now???
Are you where you want to be at this time???

I have decided not to cut and just keep on the slow bulk ..
at least, I can drink my sixpack!!! :rolleyes: :p

Have a great day woman!!!:)

poor you :D take care

[scienceteacher]

Hola mis amigos! :)


I'm going to begin three thirty minute pre-breakfast cardio sessions a week (in addition to my other three thirty minute sessions later in the day) and am about to head out there for my morning torture. .

Good morning Mrs. Hibby,

Can I use some of this cardio as my own? I think my heart rate went up just reading it.

[HoosierHardGain]

-- praying for energy.

That's usually me at about 2 in the afternoon while on a conference call.

[Krissypoo]

Enjoy your cardio, Hibs! :D

[Hibiscus09]

Okie dokes -- I'm back. :)

I did 20 minutes pre-breakfast cardio as opposed to 30 as I was figuring out a 12 week schedule in my mind as I did the elliptical this morning. I've typed and saved it in Microsoft Word and am ready to implement the torture.

This week is 20 minutes 3X a week pre-breakfast and 30 minutes 3X a week in the afternoon. Prebreakfast = 120bpm, afternoon = 140 to 150bpm. Fun, fun!

My workout today is the awful high rep day. Luckily, next week the routine switches up and it's a good thing because I get bored quickly. :D I'll do it in the afternoon.

Hi joed! I was definitely growing more and more relaxed as the day went on yesterday.

Hi GF! Congrats on the new equipment!

Hi Barb! Thanks! I hope your Sunday was great!

Hi Kevin! Russell Crowe is so sexy in that movie. Yum!!! Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite movies. I don't know which version you mean by the date, but my favorite is with Natalie Wood.

Hi Bob! I enjoyed the relaxing day!

Hi Ed! Hope you're doing well!

Hi Mike! Thank you! I hope your week is great!

Jkeith!!!!

Hi Hank! I'm envious. I'm almost done!

Peter, Peter -- don't call people names! LOL

Thank you for that, powerman. ;)

Hi again, Barb! Hell no, I'm not where I should be right now. :p After Thanksgiving and the anniversary and a week off, then allergies -- I sucketh!! I'm getting my act together now and have 12 weeks to get to 13%. Plenty of time and it can be done if I behave. ;)

Happy Monday, Miranda! Yep, it sucks.

Hi scienceteacher! Good luck with that. I've tried it and it doesn't work very well. LOL

Hi Hoosier! When I worked at the law firm, I couldn't believe how long some of their conference calls lasted. It looked like a form of torture to me.

Ya'll all have a great Monday!!

I'm going to clean house, finish putting ornaments on the tree, go get at turkey sandwich for lunch with my sweetie and Brittany, go to the Mall to get my niece's Christmas gift, and workout this afternoon.

Be good!

I came across the fat free half and hal;f at the store the other day. Had no idea such a thing existed!. It *might* actually make it possible to make a healthy-ish egg nog. Though I still insist on whole eggs - the yolks are really what makes the drink so rich.

I think it's funny that they call it fat free half and half. Half and half by it's very definition has fat because it is cream.

It's like calling splenda sugar free sugar!

Hi Hibs, sorry to hijack. Son is admitted to USC regular, still waiting on Honors College decision.

Hi Mike! :) I hope he gets into the Honors College.

Hi Empress! I've made real egg nog before. Yum! It's funny because I hated it when I was younger, but find it right tasty now.

Hi IV!

So, I haven't put a single ornament on my tree today (although I did put some on it yesterday). I'm sitting here eating meal #2 (chicken breast, an Italian veggie blend -- green beans, broccoli, lima beans, cauliflower, zuchinni and red peppers -- and olive oil) and also looking at a new outfit I want to order. I hope Brian's wallet isn't twitching. :D
