All is Good

Gotup early - breakfast, lunches , school bus and time for the Monday catch up after a crazy weekend! Got a lot done - always a great feeling! Got a shower and headed for the doc for my bi-weekly check-up. Ended up being there for 1 1/2 hours - baby dudley decided to chill out today as opposed to being active which is what doc wants to see. All in all everything looks good. Another big baby on the way! Took a little nap, finished homework and dinner then headed to work. So nice to have 8 victims at both classes - Alex new at 530pm and Heather came back - yea! Tim, Luann, Susan and Karen newbies for class 2 - all did well. Bob flippin cuz feelin strong and swung the beast - very strong - nice job! The fur ladies canceled, but Joann stopped to give me her homemade butter toffee bars - oh yea that got the baby jumpin for joy! Unbelievable! WO

Two for One

I know I know I didn't post last night.....so sorry....I taught class (great job by all of course - so glad to see Kim and Marie back, Anna made the trek in a blizzard on her own, Andrea and all of my die hards - u know who you are), trained a new client (Ms. H - so glad to have met her - so sweet), picked up lunch and headed to Canton for the afternoon to visit/help Mom (2 weeks post hip replacement)....she's doing well - learning slowly how to walk again (the walker with the tennis balls is a trip - not funny, but if you know my Mom it sure is)....she's in good spirits, but bored to tears - if any of you need to talk - about anything feel free to call her (she carries the phone in her pouch that hangs from her walker - it's not funny, but if you know my spunky, crazy, never sit still, hilarious Mother it is -so very proud of her strength and determination - truly is amazing).....picked up Max and arrived back home around 5pm (Bob working from home so the other rascals sorta ok - lol).....Dinner, homework, snowball fights.....ahhhhh....when big "M" (mama) doesn't have a nap or lay down during the day she pays at night so yes a little crabby and off to bed early.....Today was a good day - got some stuff done, got the hair cut/colored (always a good feeling), a little nappy and then work.....I'm not even going to post the W.O. tonight....let's just say not a lot of talking, heavy breathing, lots of dirty looks....yikers!!!!! We started with JM, then 30 sec on/off swings 10x (math depends on you)......we then headed into a "stacker" regime - 30 sec on/off (from Will Williams bootcamp), however, I modified the exercises to goblet squats, cleans, halos, good mornings, swings, burpees.....not so nice as I was told.....We will do tomorrow, but I may modify - gonna sleep on it........Taught a small group at 7:30pm - first time kber's.....they did great! Hope to see them in class soon!!!! Stay warm....

Good Day

A nice way to start the week! Max and I got a lot done in the morning - the usual catch up from the weekend, laundry, mail, email, color, trucks, play, cleaning, dinner prep....headed to the doc for a check-up (all good - thankfully) - Thankfully got right in and out (they owed me after 2 solid weeks of 1 hour plus wait)....Flew back home - dove in for a quick nap...kids home....quick homework and off with the two older one's for Mr. Mark's cardio kids boxing class! What a great turnout and Mr. Mark - awesome job - the kids were sweating and having a ball - a huge energy releaser - holla!!!! Both boys said they're boxers now - REALLY! Had 11 in the first class and 4 in the second....Nice job by all! Great to see Zach back - Heather made another debut (been awhile) and did super as well. Good to see Stacey and Katie - Chad stood me up (really had to work late so couldn't make it last minute)...Always love having Bob and Dar in class.....

I need a drink - BAD

Thankfully I felt much better today - yea for that! Had 13 in class this a.m. - so nice to see Rebecca, Kim and Marie again - it's been awhile......to the rest of my regulars (Bonnie, Laura, Darlene, Gary, Mike, Ursula, Jeanine, Karen, Anna and Sandy) - THANK YOU so much for your constant support and work effort - it means the world....you make my job so much fun - not sure what I would do without you all! We completed most of the workout as last night, but threw in a few curve balls just to mix things up......Headed to Fairlawn for my Doc appt - 1 1/2 hour later - I wouldn't have minded, but had to be at work at 1pm and left the office at 1:05 - ggrrrr......what would we do without texting/cell phones? Thank you again Aimee, Haley and Karyn for your understanding, patience and flexibility - much appreciated as I certainly know how valuable one's time is....We got a good workout in from 1:30pm - 2:30pm.....From the time the kids got off the bus until 5min ago - let's just say a little (ok a lot) Rough.....Sam had a well check Doc appt. at 4pm (as with my doc appt we were on time for the record) - didn't get called back until 10 til 5pm....Max needed to be picked up at 5pm - that didn't happen until 5:20pm.....Alex got picked up for soccer - we're not even gonna go there - Let's just say when I got home (and he wasn't) the front door was standing wide open and the 2 dogs were sitting in the doorway - every light ON (Man in the making) in the house including the T.V. - It was like a sick joke, but no not so much - Parent of the year........Oh what the neighbors must think of the New "people" and unfortunately this story doesn't even come close to the one that happened the first week we moved in.....even scarier I'M DUE WITH ANOTHER IN APPROX 8 WEEKS - ok I'm shaking my head too wondering what in the *&^^ were ya thinkin......You may be wondering where my wonderful husband of 13 years is - OUT OF TOWN - do you seriously think anything of the sort even remotely happens when he's around - I need a drink.....Stop laughing cuz it's not funny (at least right now) - LOL

CRAZY day

OH my hump day was a doozy to say the least.....Big Girl not only feeling BIG, but feelin anything but good - no pitty party please (I've done this three times before), but it's amazing how one truly forgets - that or I'm just dumb/a REALLY slow learner....In any event, I'm 29 weeks (delivered my last at 36 weeks - shooting for 37 weeks this round - c-section that's how I know)....putting it that way - HOLY ^%$* that's roughly 8 weeks away - yikes!!!!! In all seriousness, it's absolutely a miracle and we're truly blessed - girl or boy (many of you definitely have an opinion - always makes me laugh) as long as the baby is healthy that's all that matters (cuz I ain't no spring chicken - LOL...gave birth at the age of 27 my first time around - never thought I would be doing it again 10 years later - wow)!!!! Did manage to clean my self up a bit (not a lot - no make-up, hat on, deodorant and perfume - gotta smell good) for work.....4 victims at 5:30pm and 6 at 6:30pm. The first class a bit on the quiet side, but all worked very hard, especially the Mother/Son duo....no burpees - damn. The second class CRAZY....Diane kicked off the hour (a few minutes late - everyone already swinging away) leaping across the floor announcing her arrival when we soon ALL realized her grey sweats were on backwards - the drawstring flipping in the wind attached to her %^^ gave it away not to mention the pockets - LOl.....we were all in tears - thought I was gonna P myself (that's not hard to do).......Mary couldn't believe her arms were longer than Diane's....Chad had sweat flyin all over....Katie and Mark weren't sure why they came and Barb always adds humor to it all....it was a fun and interesting hour and YES I forgot for the first time to follow through on the assigned burpees (damn oldie but goodie bellers can't for the life of them remember proper form) - no wonder they all had a smirk on their faces upon exiting......

It was a GREAT class today! 16 victims in total - one newbie - you all really do love me (getting worried these last few weeks).....Loved, Loved, Loved having you all in class - so fun - such a nice group! Same workout as last night, but no TRX - too many people....back to some basics with Halo's, Good Mornings, Hot Potato's, V ups, Planks, Push Ups...lots of sighs, but all good.....No Burpees again - WOW to you!!! We did sadly have no one show up again for Baby Boomer Bell so we made the decision to cancel the class for now....we'll re-visit after the Holidays/Maternity Leave.....Ran a few errands - actually picked up a few "early" Xmas shopping items....Have to be on it this year - Big Girl only getting slower!!!! Got caught up on some emails, work and phone calls....whoala - the kids are back home (never can figure out where the *&^^ the time goes)......dinner, homework and off to Holy Martyr's for a first communion meeting.....back home, stories, baths, bed.....all is good....just spent some $$$$ online purchasing some much needed footwear for the kids and myself (Bob does need shoes, but never likes what I do and hard to find size 14 so he loses for now)- boots, winter crocs, etc (slip on shoes for me a must at this stage in the game - LOL)! If I get the tennies tied - guess what - they ain't comin off!!!!!

BURRRRR

It was a really nice weekend as grandma took the boys (it was our Anniversary gift). We missed the boys like crazy, but really enjoyed the time together - it's been a long time - amazing how you get wrapped up in the day to day, week to week stuff....nice to slow down and simply enjoy each other's company! We went out to lunch, dinner and a movie - spoiled! The boys had a blast - Bob's Mom pulls all the stoppers - ice cream for breakfast, sleepovers in the family room, bow n arrows in the house - the ultimate grandma to say the least - sugar em up, have a blast and give em back....they were exhausted and really enjoyed the time with their cousins....Subbed Molly's class this am - very nice group! We mixed things up with some cross-fit, TRX and KB - all did really well! Headed back in tonight - all did really well - no stinkin burpees again - proud of you!

It's Wednesday and a ghost town

Kids back to school - so nice to be off the crazy routine for a few days! Did a few things around the house and for work and then off to Canton to visit Mom (she had a hip replacement Monday). She's doing well and the surgery a success, but wow in a lot of pain - learning how to walk again is not an easy task....hopefully the worse is behind her, but definitely not an easy road ahead....We had 4 victims at 5:30pm and 3 at 6:30pm - What is Up with hump day I say???? What is happening to all of you mid week???? Gary was about to walk out - no way it's just you and me at 6:30pm - lol.....he was saved by Barb and Diane....He ended up sweating so much he not only had sweat angels, but perfect head sweat circles too - lol! We went outside (sorta dark, but really refreshing) for the first class - stayed in for the second.....Both classes were a bit different - the constant: everyone worked really hard and darn it no burpees!!!! Form and safety AMAZING - so very proud of you all (Sarah, Stacey, Mark, Sally, Gary, Barb and Diane)......Lisa and Tressa showed up at 7:30pm - love them!!! They'll be off for a few weeks as Lisa is heading in for knee surgery - will so miss seeing them...we laugh more than anything! They killed it with the BOSU, lil KB, lil TRX, pull-ups, "Bender Ball" - they wanted core work and that we did.....Looking forward to a busy day tomorrow - yipppppppeeeeeeeee.......

Rozeanne had a day off so in class was she - so great to have her back!!!!

Nice job to all....Headed to pick up kids, changed into "church clothes" as they call them to take xmas pics (we're on the ball - sorta) outside (couldn't have asked for a better day)! We had lunch, played and chilled out the rest of the day.....I enjoyed the time off with the boys - they had a good time too!

It's All Good

A very nice weekend! Halloween was a hoot - have more candy than know what to do with - 1 entire brown grocery bag filled to the top...that's what it is with a 7 and 9 year old trick or treating for the entire 2 hours! I was thrilled to get rid of all candy purchased until I saw them come home - holy crap.....I have no will power when it comes to chocolate - it calls my name from the pantry - DAMN IT! I'm just praying I pass my glucose test I took today - lol - my body needs detox.....Saturday was pretty low key - classes in the morning were great (a little wound up from the coffee Mr. Mark brought me - wow).....the Dudley dorks of course forgot to change the clocks Saturday night (seriously how many times can the media remind ya).....yep no sleeping in, early for church....LONG day....dark at 5pm and it feels like it's midnight and time for bed......Today was great - the weather amazing! Max went to the sitter while the older two went with me to the Doc...we then hit Toys R Us for "xmas list making", lunch of their choice (Quiznos of all places - said they wished we still owned ours so we could have free food again - yea if they only knew....). We headed home and hung out....dinner and out the door for work! We had 9 victims in total at 5:30pm and 2 at 6:30pm.....10 burpees assigned in class #1 and none in #2 - all did very well! Down to fur ladies - one on vacation....always make me laugh - a very fun, fast and enjoyable hour.....
