Hey, I'm still shorter and cuter than you!

Shorter? Yes.
Cuter? No.

Hey lady! Awesome workouts in here since I've been able to catch up.

I LOVE that you took vids with the Santa hat on - for some reason I was not at all surprised hahaha

I like that you are getting creative with your equipment at home and getting shiz done. I don't really have anything at home but I need to not be so ridiculous about my "set" workout when I can't get to the gym, I need to just be prepared to lift stuff up and move it around whenever I can. Maybe I'll try to carry the hubs around the house - he's about 240, that would be some good work on the legs

Good luck when you finally get to do the work testing for the new jobbie! Crossing fingers for you!!

[dreahere]

Have you let your roots grow out enough to really see what color they are anytime recently, chickie? The reason that I ask is that your natural hair could easily be two or three shades darker at 26 than it was at 15. You might be a darker blonde now than you remember.

I get my roots touched up every 4-5 weeks (hard to keep the grays covered, grr) and highlights about every 4th time. I'm getting the whole shebang done a week from tomorrow and I'm kinda considering maybe trying something slightly different. I would love to go that burgundy-ish color, but I used to do that once in awhile back in the 80s and I don't think it was all that flattering to my complexion then. I'm sure it would be even worse now that I'm an old hag

It's grown out a little, but you are right- I should wait a little longer...It just kills me Althoguh then I could save my money and get it all done one shot

Oh, good to know! I don't know how these things work. Hahahaha! You are not an old hag I bet whatever color you choose will look beautiful on you!

[gobbles23]

Hahaha! That's sadly every day for me. That's when my afternoon break is, and then I don't get to eat until we cook food. lol! It's ok though- stuffed now! I just ate a chicken burger and fries! It was delicious!

Can't you carry oats and boneless chicken along with you?

[thehobbes]

Nice job on those weighted pushups!

Emergency chicken wings on the way, extra spicy.

I could, but I always like saving some cals for after work, and somehow I never have very many left in the evenings

Nice job on those weighted pushups! :cool

Thank you! I was doing 42.5 for reps before I got sick, and I evn did a few reps at 45lbs, so I was disappointed with them, but I guess I can't complain since it's been a week since I did them

Ooohh, I can't wait

[gobbles23]

Hai guys! Exhausted here today. Running on 5 hours of sleep in the past 3 days and too much activity and not enough food makes for a tired Lori. I'm missing out on my sunny afternoon walk becasue I was moving files all morning and it used up all my energy and now I just want to sleep. lol! Was going to do a small workout later today but I think I'll put my jammies on a snuggle up on the couch instead Back and shoulders tomorrow

Oh, and looking at those workout videos....I don't feel as if I really need to lose weight anymore. lol! I've chalked up my belly chub to stress/water since it's almost back to normal and usually a random huge increase in jiggle means water, not fat. So I threw my dieting attempts out the window yet again After 1.5 days my pants are looser than ever and those shorts I had on last night were looser than normal, too. So anyway. Will visit you all throughout the day!

[tina722]

I love those BB in the corner pushes. I heard someone call them "jammers" -lulz. fun name!

fun workouts - it's great that you are getting everything in without the normal equipment.

You mean they're a real exercise? Cool! Hahaha! Awesome, I'm gonna look them up

Thank you! They are fun! Sometimes I get bored with lifting heavy and I just like to do different things!

[gobbles23]

Hai guys! I went to be 30 minutes earlier last night and got 5 1/2 hours of sleep rather than 5! lol! MUCH better. Though I could certainly use more. It's beautiful outside again today, although very cold, but I'm going to go for a nice walk at lunchtime today! Love it!

Today is back and biceps day! Woot woot! Be back later with workout/videos!!!! I'm excited!

Half hour makes all the difference sometimes! Enjoy the walk today ... it is really nice around here!

[Romina81]

Darker Lori would be nice
I love getting a new color instant prettyness factor along with a new makeup look....former makeup junkie

[gobbles23]

It seemed to!!!

Thanks- it was really nice! It's warmer out now than it was this morning

Haha! I love that too! Different hair color means different color make-up for sure I'm not sure I want to go too much darker, but something more natural looking would be nice I'm excited! Andrew has a hairdresser who he said is one of the best (he's probably biased though) and she's going to have a look at it for me on Sunday

[Redfizz]

Oh, new haircuts are so much fun! It'll be perfect for the holidays!

Have you ever gotten a new style that was so different and so awesome that it gave you a new attitude?

[gobbles23]

Nope, but I could totally go for one

[gobbles23]

I had a cranky day yesterday. TOM stuff/little stuff getting to me more than it should/wasn't in the mood to workout so I just drank a few beers and moped instead lol! Better today though! Will do back/biceps later after grocery shopping. I have an interview for that position I want on Monday, so we'll see how that goes! Going to go help fold calendars. Be back later with workout. Seriously this time!

[nvrstopworking]

[dreahere]

Happy Friday, Ms Lori! Hope you are back to your usual happy mood. I was feeling kinda combination pissy/down/anxious last night and this morning too, but then I went out and delivered cookies to my former co-workers and the people at the gym and now I feel better. Cookies make everything okay even when you're not the one eating them

Can't wait to hear about what you decide to do with your hair.

[-Lucifer]

A cranky Lori is still more jolly than an angry Lucifer.

[Boomer29]

Nice workouts Lori. The indecisiveness on the dieting is cracking me up! Same thing going on over here although I need to and can't seem to lol. Darker blonde running through your color now would be pretty!

Ooohh, cookies make everything better! We bought some chocolate chips today- we're going to decorate and start abking some very shortly

Thanks! Me either! lol! I think I'm going to go with light brown with blond highlights!

I don't know- My cranky turns into sadness. lol! Then I'm just pathetic and sad looking. Hahha!

Thank you! I've decided against it, but I'm honestly not doing a very good job with the eating. I'm somehow sick of eating. Huh. lol!

You think?? I have to get rid of the color it is now- it's driving me insane I want something light, but different, you know? I'm really thinking light brown with highlights/foils. I think that'd be nice And a trim!
