Hey B! How's things?

Looks like you're still really busy with work, huh? That full body workout looks like a killer, but i feel your need for pizza too - one of my favourite things! Oh and 3500 kcal on pizza?? No problem, just watch me follow it up with some ridiculous amount of dessert too

Posted by: the other half

also only got 2hrs sleep because we had some tornados come through today...no damage to anyone we know, but the county to the west of us is demolished

Posted by: SamEaston

Oh no! That sounds terrible. I just can't imagine having severe weather like you guys. Everyone here goes nuts if it rains for more than 24 hours

Hope your stomach is better soon, there's nothing worse is there?

Posted by: Pylon

Glad to hear you are all safe and well!

Posted by: SheLifts

hi b!!

I'm officially out of it. I cant even do weighted squats anymore.

Best of luck to ya!!

Posted by: Brutus_G

Yeah its good to hear your safe B tornadoes are not to be messed with.

Posted by: katt

Glad you guys were ok - I was just watching that on the news and was going to ask you if they were in your area.

Hey B!

I've seen some of the devastation on the news here, and its terrible. You must have an angel watching over you.

Honestly, living in this country we just don't get the exposure to this sort of extreme weather. I can't imagine how frightening it must be for you guys.

Hope you're well and managing to get on with things

Posted by: katt

So after the knee pops and back tweak you still had a great workout! Now that's determination!

It's going to take more than knee pops and a back tweak to stop Billie.

Posted by: b_reed23

actually they stopped me today....VERY bad day at work...messed up back/shoulder worse...and I am way too tired for any cardio....maybe I will have time for some tomorrow after work...have to work Friday night...may get dolled up for a valentines dance Saturday night if my stomach and back are better...I could sure use a few beers and a night of dancing

Posted by: the other half

ok so you go out and have a few beers and dance and you know what you are gonna have tomorrow? a sore back, shoulders, feet, knees upset stomach and a head ache. like that is gonna make anything better.

well have fun

It seems that you forgot the part about the swollen/broken toe.

Posted by: the other half

if i would have thrown that in there, she would have held me responsible for it. besides, you know she wasnt walking to straight, doors openigs are pretty wide

Posted by: b_reed23

I had a bunch of dishes in my hand so I couldn't see...plus I am not graceful anyways....

did 30m on treadmill today...weights tomorrow!

Posted by: the other half

well at least you have a doorway to walk through.
how is the clean up going there?

Posted by: Pylon

Heya B! How's the toe?

Posted by: b_reed23

cleanup...going ok...havent' heard much the last 2 days or so, so I will update as I hear it..

as far as the toe....i can't beleive how bruised it is! when I put ice on it, the bruising and swelling goes down, but a couple hours later, it's there again...I think I will skip calves this week, just because I think they will be impossible...trying to go up or down stairs is very, very painful....should be good by next week I hope

Posted by: Pylon

Hope nothing's broken. Keep icing it, keep it elevated when you can. Hope it gets better soon!

Posted by: katt

Man, toes are the alltime worst! There's not a thing you can do about it, is there?

Posted by: b_reed23

it's getting better

Posted by: the other half

Posted by: Fitgirl70

jellybean

Ah ha....so Cody took the day off AND ate pizza.

Well, that's okay -- just tell him like I told Brad before his reunion when he wanted to eat cookies, I said "okay, you be the fat ass at your reunion".
You could tell Cody, "you be the fat ass at your wedding"

Posted by: SamEaston

Posted by: b_reed23

day 1 for me....20m on the treadmill, steady walk

1 down, 4 to go

Posted by: Pylon

Posted by: b_reed23

hi all...somehow I have seriously messed up my left shoulder...noticed it was tired after work yesterday, and for about 4hrs before bed it was just a nagging sort of pain, so cody rubbed it for a while...the pain seemed localized in one spot on my left shoulder blade...after rubbing it seemed to feel a bit better, but I woke up today, and the pain is so horrible I couldn't lift my arm above my head to brush my hair, just the slightest move of either arm is painful to the point of taking my breath away...I've taken some ibuprof. and put some biofreeze on it, with some heat, but I don't know how I'm going to get through the night at work

anyone have any other suggestions? it is now huring all the way across my neck and shoulder blades, and a bit around my collar bone. I don't even remember doing anything to hurt it yesterday unless it happened when I dumped our big tub of metal at work....but I don't remember any pain while doing it...maybe it will get better through the night and I can still hit the gym...lets hope!

Posted by: katt

That doesn't sound good at all B - the cold/hot thing is what I would do.. but that much pain, you should probably get it checked out????

Posted by: b_reed23

its a bit better, but i decided to wait on the gym for now....i did do 25m on the treadmill. i also laid in the tanning bed for 10m it really seemed to help my shoulder

will get it checked out if it doesn't feel better in a couple days

Posted by: Fitgirl70

B

How's the shoulder? Remember a couple of weeks ago when I had the same issue? I had a stress knot under my scapula that required multiple massages. I'd suggest that and then see a doc if it doesn't get any better. As of right now, you're doing good with the ice and heat. Try to stretch out your back too -- a lot! Grab a hold of a door or something sturdy and then stretch back with your arms outstretched. It will feel so good!
Another good stretch you could do would be to grab a door facing and cross your arm in front of you -- you're kinda opening up your shoulder blades.

Hope you feel better darling!

Posted by: Pylon

Posted by: b_reed23

I've tried that Tam...and it's painful...but I think getting better. had trouble sleeping last night....apparantly the insomnia is making the rounds...Katt gave it to me!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

well y'all keep that S$^& over there....I don't need it.

Glad it's getting a little better. YOu might try sleeping on a heating pad too if you have one. Just remembe to put it on low heat

Posted by: Pylon

Did you see my note on counting backwards? It works, I promise.

Posted by: SamEaston

hey B, me again!

Are you doing the EB Womens Strength contest at EB? It's just that sdb is collecting all our numbers by the end of the week and is going to post the results on Monday.

Posted by: b_reed23

nope, I haven't even been over there in a long time, between my shoulder, and major lack of time and energy, I didn't have time to work on strength over the last couple of months...sorry!

1 hr. walk on treadmill today, 3.07 miles

Posted by: SamEaston

Oh no!

Okay, well i'll let sdb know. She was asking after you

Posted by: Archangel

Good lookin w/o Sister Billie, hope the shoulder is 100%!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

thanks Sam and Arch...shoulder is just about healed up, I think it was just too much stress on it working 10-12hrs a day, 7 days a week, I've been stretching it every day and that seems to help a lot!!!

15m of walking before work today...I felt bad about missing cardio on Wednesday (busy with church and bridesmaids dresses) so I am doing 2 cardio sessions today, for a total of 5 cardio sessions again this week!!! WOOT WOOT!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Posted by: the other half

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Posted by: b_reed23

ya'll are funny....hehehehehehe....

anyways, I just can't seem to get better with this sinus crap, I called in sick Monday, felt fine Tuesday and Wednesday, and woke up today feeling worse than ever, my sinuses drained all night, so not only do I have a sore throat, headache, etc. I am also feeling sick to my stomach. Worse part is that I can't call in cause I can't afford to have 2 days off in a week

wish me luck getting over this shit!

Posted by: katt

good luck! That cold seems to be really getting the rounds in... here even.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I hope you get to feeling better sweetie. I think you should go to a doc in the box (PrimaCare) (CareNow) and get something. I would hate for you to get a sinus infections or a respiratory infection. You need a nice decongestant, maybe something with guaffinessin in it.

I take zinc because vitamin C you can get enough from your diet. On top of that though, i don't know. I take zinc and a multivit (as well as CLO and ALA) every day and i havent been properly sick in about 3 years.

Im hoping you got to eat those cookies before you got sick?

Posted by: DeadBolt

billie try some zicam...the nasal swab is amazing! Get the one that has the Q-tip on the box...just snap it open and rub it inside your nostril while taking deep breaths.

Try this stack its what I use and it works all the time! Motrin (headache etcc), Zicam (nasal congestion and reliefe), and Sudafed (general congestion and reliefe) (sp?). That should clear you up in no time! Also may want to try those vicks shower tabs I love them things.

Knock on wood with all the veggies and fruits I've been eating this winter season for my diet I have gotten so many vits and mins I have been doing pretty solid.

Workouts are looking really good in here! Ansd your wedding dress is amazing sweety...you got one lucky guy there

I truly believe Glutamine helps with this and drinking green tea.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yep, I agree with Brutus....Green tea truly helps, I'm a total believer in that. Also, another quick little thing that you can do is use a saline nasal solution every so often. It's easy to use, and it acts like a sinus passage detox, totally clearing out your system.

Oh yeah, get that Zicam stuff, that's what my docs recommend here. It is good stuff.

Posted by: the other half

or i have a really good white substance(might be illegal), it doesn't really help get you over your sickness, but you will feel really good!!!!

hope you are feeling better. just kick back and let your man take care of you.
you will get to see if he is good at playing doctor!!

Posted by: b_reed23

2 peices of news! One..I finally went to the doctor and got a shot and some antibiotics...so back to work tomorrow

Second..we finally got the contract back on the house we wanted and we are having the inspection done tomorrow and go to the Mortgage company on Wednesday to get things worked out so...keep your fingers crossed!!

back on the healthy eating wagon tomorrow...I've been eating everything in sight, and the antibiotics do NOT help!

My fingers are Crossed for ya Sister Billie, wishin ya nothin but the best!!! Hope you feel better quickly!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

well, I thought I was feeling better....all I have had to eat today was yogurt, 3oz chicken, and some noodles

I feel like crap...antibiotics must be making me sick or something (I hope) also running a small fever....

Posted by: katt

I'm sorry your not feeling better Billie... Good eating is so incredibly hard to do when your sick,, all you want is comfort food when you feel miserable.. at least I do..

Mine is tomato soup.. made w/water, but I still have to put a whole sleeve of Ritz crackers in it..

Posted by: b_reed23

I haven't been able to really eat anything good or bad without it coming up...I did just finish a very small bowl of icecream

Posted by: katt

oohhhh.... flu.....

That's worse...

This may or may not work for you, but when my stomach is rebelling against all other food intake, I find that protein shakes are sometimes tolerable.

I use Syntrax Nectar whey isolate post workouts only (cause it is a little on the expensive side), and if I put enough water in the shaker cup, it winds up as the consistency of water or juice, and since the Nectar is all fruit flavors (lemonade, cherry, iced tea--my favorite), it is like drinking a glass of juice, so I can see it being tolerable with a bad stomach. If you can hold down a glass of iced tea, I am pretty sure you could hold this down too.

Feel better Billie

I HOPE it's not the flu...I think it's a reaction to the antibiotics

thanks for all the well wishes guys!!

Posted by: Archangel

Heres to a QUICK recovery!!!

Posted by: the other half

being sick blows!!!!!!!! we want our old billie back!!!!!

Posted by: SamEaston

Hope you get well soon Billie!

My advice to you when taking antibiotics is make sure you are eating probiotics to repopulate your gut and intestines with 'good' bacteria, otherwise you might end up with a sore stomach because you cant digest your food properly.

Full of good advice huh?

Posted by: b_reed23

thanks Sam, and all!

Cody is sick too now...another trip to the Doc..meds for him, more for me cause I'm not getting better, off work all week

Posted by: b_reed23

hi! just wanted to let everyone know that I am slowly getting better

I will be back at work Monday

I am finally able to eat (unfortunatly) Cody's Mom brought us Chicken and dumplings and some kick ass brownies...so I am gonna have a TON of work to do when I'm better

Cody is feeling better already, and we finally got his truck out of the shop (lowered and new front bumper...he is so proud! I will post pics later)

We had the house inspected and it was a no-go there is WAY too much wrong with the house...so the search continues

I am also starting an abs class and walking 2 times a week for about 5 other women right now. We are going to meet at the local lake and I am gonna run everyone through an ab routine and walk a couple miles, I am also helping them with their nutrition, it should be fun! I also need to start training for the annual 5k which is the first week of May this year!! I hope I get to feeling better soon!

Posted by: Archangel

Glad you two are on the rebound, sorry about the house, but better to find out now than too late!!! Best Wishes Sister Billie!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

20m walk today, 1 mile

Posted by: Archangel

Any news on the House front??? Best Wishes to you Sister Billie!!!

Posted by: the other half

Posted by: b_reed23

still looking for a house....

on a positive note...it should be back into the gym tomorrow!

Posted by: SamEaston

Fingers crossed for you on the house hunting front! That's a great idea too about meeting up with others to go walking together

How are you feeling now?

Posted by: katt

Hi Billie! It's good to see you guys are being smart about house hunting.. you wouldn't believe the amount of people buy the "good priced" homes here without an inspection and then are screwed after..

Posted by: nadirmg

hey there billie

i see you on people's journals all the time. thought i'd stop in and say 'hi'.
ooooh, you're sick? hope you feel better soon!

looking for a house? sounds like fun

Posted by: SamEaston

Thats an inspired workout - especially when you don't feel 100%. Better make sure you're eating enough to recover my dear

Posted by: the other half

so you have posted "hacks" im assuming that this hack squats, not hacking up flem

,or is it both.

hope you get back to being as normal as you can. we really miss you in here.

Posted by: b_reed23

30m on treadmill today, nothing special

Posted by: Archangel

Looks like a solid w/o to me Sister Billie, be careful until your 100% though, High Intensity really drains you!!!

I have to work all weekend....so happy Easter to all!

Posted by: Archangel

Great w/o and Happy Easter to you both as well!!!

Posted by: Burner02

Hiyta Billie! How's things!

Posted by: katt

How was your Easter? Are you feeling a little better/stronger today?

Posted by: Brutus_G

Happy easter B sry its late lol.

Posted by: Pylon

Posted by: SamEaston

Hello there! Hows things?

Posted by: b_reed23

ok, first of all, lets pretend that last week never happened, lots of stress goin on, but hopefully things are on track now...back to working out and eating right next week.

I am having such a hard time sticking to eating the way I am suppose to...I have no self control whatsoever with junk food, and I live with someone who eats it all the time! I am so far from the body I used to have that it's just been depressing, and that makes me eat more

I am thinking about just compromising with him...I stop fussing over every macro I take in, and he tries to eat a bit better...maybe that could work for both of us??

Posted by: Pylon

Take control of the kitchen. IF you do the cooking, you can make sure it is healthy. And don't buy the junk food for the house.

(I'm in the same boat, so I know those things won't really work, but it's worth a shot!)

Posted by: katt

Exactly right.. I don't even buy anything bad for the house.. we have started to do a "desert" night.. we have one once a week, we go to the store and get one thing.. single serving cake, ice cream.. and that's all we have for the week.. it's clean eating otherwise. But, yeah if I have all that in the house, there's no way I'm not going to eat it..

Posted by: b_reed23

2 mile walk/jog today, 26:26

Posted by: Pylon

Posted by: the other half

one really good punch to the jaw and he would have to wire it up. then you could eat really good while he is drinking out of a straw for 2 months.

just a thought.

hope all goes well.

Posted by: b_reed23

he would have to blend all his nachos....and I beleive he would try it at least once

well, for Tuesday I was suppose to lift, but my legs were killing me from running on Monday, so I decide to do this Yoga workout, I figure it will be relaxing and stretch my muscles out...WELL...it was pretty advanced, and now I'm even more sore...lol....gonna pop a few tylenol and hopefully I can walk enough to get to the gym

Tuesday...40m Yoga, advanced moves

Posted by: b_reed23

well, after a full day of tylenol...my shoulders have now disowned me and my legs have went on strike...who knew yoga could kill your muscles like that?? I loooooove it!!

had to force my way through this workout...but I did it!!!

That was so funny! I nearly spit out my water.

Looks like all is well in here!

Sooo.....did Cody blend up those nachos? Hysterical!

I'm back to the gym today too jellybean. By the way, if you have a steam room at the gym, try that to open up your pores before you go for your run. It might help with the nose cloggin' up.

no steam room, but damn, that sounds nice!!

here is todays workout!!

db SLDL 45x10
DB mil press 20x10

Posted by: the other half

how about a bunch of us guys just chase you around for your cardio.

that way we would all get a good run in, cause cody would probably be chasing us.

Posted by: naturaltan

Posted by: b_reed23

Posted by: b_reed23

hi all, ran out of time in town to do weights, and I was starving, so we ate some damned fast food, I really need to start keeping a protein bar or something with me when I get that hungry

anyways...not a total loss...cardio....
35m walk, 4% incline, 1.83 miles
1m run, 10:57, 39 second increase over last time!!!!

Sam...to answer your question it's going "ok" I try to schedule a long run, and a mile run at least once a week, it's been raining, so it's all been on a treadmill, It will be a nice change of pace to run on pavement

Posted by: countryboy

have you done a lot of running outdoors?

Looking on info for good quality running shoes? Not too many stores here that I would really trust the sales people...

Posted by: Pylon

2nd weekend of May huh? Hmmm....

Posted by: boilermaker

B -

If you get a chance, check out the Run for your Life 5K here in May. It's a 5k costume race. Funny stuff (though I can't imagine running in some of the costumes...)

I'm looking for a 5k the same weekend as yours. May as well do it at the same time!

no cardio today...I'm pooped!!!

as you can see my weight and reps are already starting to go down from running/doing more cardio...I've increased my carbs and calories a little bit to give me some more energy hopefully. I walked into the gym yesterday SUPER tired, so hopefully this helps!
