100 days of Ghoulie Power! (Page 47)

Hi guys! 

I went to another boot camp conditioning class tonight. We started out with another timed mile run. I did this one in 9:10. The last one (a few weeks ago) was 10:20 (okay, I walked a little on that one...) But still! Wowza!! Then the instructor kicked our butts with this deck of cards workout routine. We took turns drawing cards, and then doing what the card said to do. Hearts stood for one thing, then clubs another, etc. The face cards (J, K, Q, Joker) stood for 60 seconds of one thing each. So, for example, 8 of hearts = 8 pushups, jack of diamonds = 60 seconds plank, 9 of clubs = 9 burpees and so on. We did 42 cards without stopping. I am toast right now!

 

Tomorrow I go in for the MRI on my shoulder. Hopefully it says nothing's wrong and that I just need to get all the muscles back in balance. I'll feel a lot better knowing that it's really ok to push through the pain I've been having. I had planned on going to masters swim in the morning for the first time in a looong time. Do you think it's a good idea to go to master's a few hours before the MRI? Or should I sit out until I can catch the next master's class next week? Keep in mind I haven't been able to swim more than 600 yards at a time for almost 6 months because of my shoulder.

YOU COULD RUN TO WORK!

2:30 for the injection (eek), then the MRI right after, so probably 2:45 or 3:00. 

Who's coming along to hold my hand?

deehtz - 2012-01-18 5:58 PM I played in the snow with the dogs this afternoon.  I am going to count it as a workout because my legs are sore, and I am certainly tired!  I didn't think that they would stay out so long, especially the little one.  But they both loved the snow!  I made them go back to the house after over an hour.  They are tired but wanted to play more.   I posted some pics of them in the snow on facebook, if you are interested.

Morning Ghoulies.

Hi Ann. What's shaking north of here?

I have been working in the Hell I'm in now for 3 years and 2 weeks. I have been trying to get out of here for 3 years. Yeah. I have easily sent over a hundred resumes. I've had 10 interviews. I'm 0/10 in those interviews. I was offered a job with a company where I'd be in charge of security for a manufacturing company. I also haven't worked in the public sector in 8 years. I'd have to drive almost an hour and a half 3 days a week, but could work from home, or a closer office 2 days a week. I turned it down.

I really do want to get out of here, but I can't drive an hour and a half 3 days a week. The place is close to Baltimore, too, so with traffic it may take me longer than that. I have too much going on in the evenings with the kiddos, and the things that I want to do. I do have a few other irons in the fire right now so I'm hoping I don't live to regret turning this down. If you have any spare ju-ju I hope that I get offered any of the other 5 opportunities that are in front of me right now.

ironannekidd - 2012-01-19 8:10 AM How are you feeling today, Robin?

ceilidh - 2012-01-19 8:31 AM

Actually, today I feel close to being back to "normal". Except I drank wine last night with no dinner at our board meeting and, well, my head is a tad  large today. Some ibuprofen and more coffee will be the cure.

ironannekidd - 2012-01-19 8:50 AM

I could have helped you finish the wine. I could have used it last night, I was grumpy.

ceilidh - 2012-01-19 9:18 AM

I would have shared! I was grumpy before the wine, too. I almost didn't go to the meeting cause I was grousing all around the house. Had to suck it up and then... well... the rest is history. At least I wasn't the only one and there was no dancing on tables!

Good Morning. 

Here is the flatland it is 33*F and rain.  The snow is gone except for some slush.  The hills may still have snow.  Glad we were able to get out and enjoy it yesterday.

ironannekidd - 2012-01-19 6:42 AM

I saw your FB pictures. They were great! Hanna is getting big, too.
