Sorry to hear about the ulcer.

As for the not drinking, it could be worse. Imagine no sex for 6 months.

well, I had to call doc to change my meds, the headaches were just too much for me to bear, so everyone keep their fingers crossed that this one works and I'm back to the gym next week

Heya Billie!

Sorry to hear about the ulcer. How you get to feeling better quick!

So they got you drinking buttermilk? I've heard it's good for that...

Posted by: b_reed23

buttermilk???

sorry I've been MIA, it has been a really bad weekend...Cody's papaw died Friday night...he has been struggling for a long time (he was 92) and he is in a much better place. I just met him on Father's day, so attending his funeral wasn't hard on me...it was seeing all of Cody's family upset, I love him and his parent so much it hurt me to see them upset. I did my best just to be there for them. His daddy told me Saturday that I was the daughter he always wanted. Needless to say...I was pretty choked up

so Sunday before we went to visitation (9hrs worth

) I needed to blow off some steam (funeral homes make me nervous!) so I worked out....going back to HIT for a while!!!!

My goodness B, you've really been through the wars this last couple of weeks huh? Im so sorry to hear about this ulcer, are the docs sure that's what it is? Is there any way you can modify your diet to make the symptoms less painful for yourself or to minimise the amount of medication you have to take? Im sorry, i don't really know much about these things.

Your photos are lovely, you look great and your new haircolour really suits you! Good job on the workouts too, it says alot that you're still getting up and setting about that gym - good for you

Posted by: DeadBolt

Friday was interesting....in the morning Cody and I decided to go rollerblading....I did good until I hit a hill, and I crashed and burned....road rash all up my left leg and booty, a bruised tailbone, and a swollen knee and a sore neck

I think the neck is ok...but I can barely walk on my left leg, and the scrape is horrible...it's very hard to sit down!!

I have a pic somewhere, will post it later.

Posted by: b_reed23

here are the pics....

Posted by: Fitgirl70

OH my gosh Billie, I'm sorry about the road rash. Sorry about that tail bone too. HOpe you heal up quickly.

I like the new hair color too. It makes you look totally different.....totally hot....but totally different.

Take care of yourself sweetie. I hope the stomach heals up quickly too.

XOXO

Posted by: SamEaston

Dearie me! You're trying out to be a stunt man or something!

I think you should stay at home, on the sofa and get better before anything else happens!

That injury looks terrible, i hope you heal up soon

Posted by: b_reed23

yeah right...I know I wasn't supposed to, but I did manage to go to the gym today...I had to be very careful of how I sat on the benches with my tailbone and all (did mostly machines), but overall was an ok workout....when I was doing my DB pullovers I sat up with the DB in my hands and my rear pushed into the bench

not good....gotta be more careful next time!!!! The whole thing took about 18m, did some extra calves and abs at the end...not sure when I can do lifting with my legs or any cardio...but this will have to do for now

pec deck 70x10
HS inc. bench 40x8
fly machine 60x8
high iso lats 90x12
t-bar 45x9

Posted by: DeadBolt

workouts are look good there but that road rash dont look so pleasant LOL!!!

you are a one of a kind I tell ya!

Posted by: katt

OWWWW! I can totally relate! I had a "trip over a crack in the asphalt" roller blading incident,, that landed me straight on my tailbone.. I swear I couldn't sit down for at least a week without winching .. lol kinda was like that "thrill of victory - agony of defeat" video you see where the guy comes off the ski jump and just plows into the ground..

It's really not funny, but it still makes me laugh

Posted by: b_reed23

I am going to take that as a compliment!!!!

Posted by: Triple Threat

You need a vacation - from everything! Just a ot of R&R. Will Cody wait on you?

Ohhh ... that sounds bad.

Reminds me of the time in school, when i was doing gymnastics. The teacher had brought out the horse for us to practise jumping over. First we were jumping it width-ways (so we had to really open our legs wide to clear both sides) but then she changed it so it was length-ways, totally unbeknown to me, who was chatting at the back of the queue.

So i take a run at it, and just as i jump i realise its now oriented length ways. Of course the jump i've taken isn't enough to clear the whole length of the thing, and i crack my tailbone on the end of it as i land.

I couldn't sit down for 6 months. Im not joking, i had one of those rubber rings to sit on ... it was agony. I went to the hospital and i got an injection in the bottom of my tailbone

Just for a second, find where that is on yourself. Believe me, when you're 15 years old, you do not want anyone going down there, especially with a fucking needle.

The doctor told me i would have to get these injections probably every 6-12 months until the pain subsided on it's own and the crack healed properly. He reckoned it might take about 5 years.

Needless to say, i never went back. A pack of wild horses couldn't have gotten me back in that fucking room

Mortified.

Posted by: b_reed23

Sam...oh my god...that sounds horrible!!

for some reason I forgot to post my 2nd workout last week....

It's been a challenge figuring out what I can and cant do with my tailbone hurting...some benches I can't sit on, and I can NOT lay flat on a bench, I have to pull my feet up on the bench with me...hopefully in another week or two I'll be back to 100% !!!

that's all folks...was too tired for any cardio

my diet has sucked...I'm taking in way too much sugar, and I'm losing all the progress I've made. I need to finds some sugar free treats to snack on while studying...all I crave is sugar!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

try sugar free hard candy billie. Hard candy normally is usually very low in sugar. Try some dried fruit too. Just watch it that you don't eat too much of it, it can be really dense in calories.

Make your own trail mix too: dried bananas, raisins, almonds, walnuts, you could even throw in some dark chocolate chips.

You could also try some cinnamon pita chips. Make your own: whole wheat pita, cut into little triangles, spray your pan with PAM, spread out the pita pieces and bake at 350 just until they start to set up. Take them out of the oven, spread a little butter or use spray butter on them, sprinkle with cinnamon and splenda and then bake for a few more minutes until they're hard. YUUUUMMMMMM YUUUUUUMMMMMM

Posted by: Pylon

Heya B!

What classes are you taking?

I'm also a fan of the SF hard candy. Werther's is good. Walgreens has a very good lemon drop as well.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Billie, if you do Admin, go for more of the executive route. You can make much more money being an executive asst. over just an admin asst. Get all the technology training that you can!

Posted by: Pylon

I concur. And really good exec admins are hard to find, not to mention worth their weight in gold.

If you are interested in that track, let me know. I've done recruiting for those spots, and can give you some insight into what skills are generally in demand.

Posted by: b_reed23

I will look into it for sure....the local schools don't have the exec training though

any ideas for some extra classes that could help me in that field?? Can both of you send me some info in that field...it would be GREATLY appreciated!! I thought about taking some extra computer/programming classes online (after the wedding) but don't really know where to start!!!

that's a nasty looking cut. Hope it doesn't get infected.

As far as classes go, I'd suggest going heavy on MS Office, especially Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Word. Lotus Notes, Access and Visio would be nice, but not critical. Project you can skip.

Also, if you can, keep your eyes open for classes or seminars on Lean Office methods. I can reccommend some books as well. They will help set your mind right when it comes to running an office efficiently. (And make no mistake, the exec admin generally runs things, even if there is an office manager around.)

Negotiation skills, detail orientation, phone skills, and critical thinking are great skills set to have as well.

ok, all that stuff is in the admin assist. program. I will look into some other seminars and classes though....everything will help! I use the lean method at work, remember I work on the floor not in the office, so learning it for other areas would probably be pretty interesting. I wonder if my company offers any kinds of classes or if I could sit in on some lean meetings?

thank you both for your help

Posted by: Pylon

I'm sure asking to get involved in Lean meetings would be welcomed. It should be, anyway. Once you learn the mindset, you can apply in other areas.

Seek out extra training on the MS Office stuff. Don't be just a user. Be a power user. Be the person everyone else goes to for help. Especially when it comes to charts and pivot tables. Those two skills alone will make you more valuable. And they aren't that hard, you just have to practice.

Excellent advice, Py. The MS Office Products are very powerful, yet most users learn only the basic stuff.

TT, feel free to offer any advice too! It is all welcome

Well, thanks!

I have found that learning just a little more will people stare in awe at your skills. Even better is when you know a whole lot more, and then the stuff that impresses people is like old hat.

For a second I thought that was one day....

How's the arm doing?

Posted by: b_reed23

thanks for askin Py..it's healing up pretty good

My mental health is another story

I've been so stressed with life, the wedding, school, and everything else that I've lost motivation...I still go to the gym, but I'm not "feeling" it like I used to...it's real hard to concentrate...my diet is so-so at best...I even have hair falling out

I don't have a solid weekend to really sit down and relax between now and the wedding. We do have our party this weekend, but thanks to a bunch of crap that's going on...I don't even have the desire to really go

Hopefully things will sort out after the 25th of October

here is 2days workout...it was so busy in the gym (and in my head!) that I couldn't focus...I finally just left.

hypers 25x12
front squats 75x8
BB lunges 75x10
BB SLDL 75x8
single leg curls 30x8+3
seated calves 55x12

10m eliptical, .72 miles

if I could ever find time (quiet time that is) I would love to pick up yoga again...it really helped me with my stress levels

Posted by: b_reed23

hi guys...sorry I've been MIA. I took a week off the gym, and had NO time for journaling. School has really picked up and taken up most of my time. I think I'm gonna have to shut this journal down for now. I still plan on going to the gym, and checking into everyones journals, but I really dont have time to post workouts until at least November.

Even though I took a week off, I did reduce my cal intake for the week so I wouldn't have any unexpected weight gain

(check out thedailyplate.com) I've also taken up tanning for this next month so I wont be the same color as my dress

ONE MORE MONTH TIL THE WEDDING!

Understand completely B.. we did the same thing. Life get too busy sometimes and some things have to sit by the side until you get caught up.

Happy Wedding!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Woo Hoo....wedding! I haven't gotten my invitation yet!!!!!! Shouldn't you have those out by now?

I use The Daily Plate every day in my job. It's how I compare my food record analysis of my patients. Good site.

I assume there will be a webcam set up for those of us that are remote, right?
