Toystoryduo's Journal....Moving Forward From Here

[inkkognito]

You may be able to find a echinacea/vitamin C combo. I actually managed to get it with buy one, get on free at Walgreens last year. I sure hope the illness doesn't develop into something too nasty.

You are a brave soul to tackle a kid's room!

 

[traceycooper]

A good idea to have lots of vitamin C - curry works for me too?!!? but thats proberb;y more pshycological!! BUT curry is supposed to contain lots of good spices

 

[lovinaz]

Hope you are feeling better! I am with Tracey, I think a good curry can burn anything out of your system!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I hope you are feeling better. I'll put a plug in for hot baths. Something about a hot bath and lots of herbal tea and oranges helps my colds.

Good luck with your no buy's, I am trying to do at least three days a week to help my budget. Its amazing how much money I waste!

Feel better soon and don't overdo things!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

Quick post...I'm still not feeling 100%, but I'm going to give Shred Level 1 a try. Maybe I can sweat this cold out!

I'll be back in a little while with an update....

 

[toystoryduo]

WOW! That is a workout! I had to modify some of the moves, but yowza!

The girls have a snow day today. Even though they are homeschooled, we follow the local city's school calendar and since the superintendent called a snow day, so will I!

I'll probably end up shoveling at some point today. We're expecting up to another foot of snow!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Great job trying the Shred. I know....it's a KILLER!!

Hope it does the trick to knock that cold outta ya!

Enjoy the snow day! Hope the roads aren't too bad for your errands.

I can't believe you did Shred when you weren't feeling 100%! Wow, that is brave. You will have to let me know where you are sore tomorrow. The first couple days killed my upper body... I don't envy your snow. It's still in the 70's here.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Very impressive you did Shred when you were feeling puny! Good for you taking a snow day. We have a lot of families in our church who homeschool and they do the same thing. Hey, fair is fair!

Thanks for the pm, I hope you get some better results. I still have to get on that!

You have me thinking I might try Shred too, it does look like quite the fat burner.

 

[inkkognito]

Definitely brave to tackle the Shred when you're under the weather.

I'll bet the kids were happy with the snow day.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

Doing Shred was probably not a good idea yesterday. I'm still sick, but now I'm very sore! My arms, my chest, my legs...Yikes! I think that I will wait until Monday to do Shred again. I will say this....As hard as this workout is, it does go by quickly. I like the 20 minute thing!

We had another no buy day yesterday! Shooting for another one today!

Today's Plan:

* Rewards Programs
* Read, relax
* Maybe take Christmas stuff down

Not much else going on....Hope everyone has a nice Saturday!

******************************************************

Kim~ Thanks! I don't think Shred knocked my cold out...At least not yet! I'm still feeling kind of punky. My girls had a blast on their day off!

Amy~ I know. I should have skipped Shred yesterday. I'm sick and sore now! Can you send some sun and 70's my way, please?

Amy~ Shred is a great workout: quick and efficient, but it's not easy! I'm sending you another PM....(This one will be much shorter! )

Barb~ The kids had a great time sledding and snowboarding yesterday! As for me, I stayed in the house, read a book, and didn't move much. I was too sore from Shred!

 

[lovinaz]

Hang in there! I can tell you that you WILL get to the point where Shred doesn't make you sore the next day, you just need to keep at it. But it still makes me totally exhausted during the workout, so I know I'm still doing some good! But wait until you are healthy next time!!! There can be such a thing as too much motivation!

 

[traceycooper]

well done on another no buy day
this shred sounds hard - well done for sticking with it, i like short routines too - especially at home

 

[inkkognito]

Ugh, it definitely sounds like you need a relaxation day! Being sore on top of being sick is miserable...be nice it yourself today.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

No shred for me today. I'm still feeling yucky. You'd think that with the amount of vitamins and oranges I have consumed, I'd be feeling better by now. Sheesh!

My DH is working this morning so we weren't able to get to church. I did manage to get a survey at SR and get e-mails taken care of so that is good. I'm going to work on a menu plan for the week and will go grocery shopping later.

Yesterday was another no buy day! Today won't be...Grocery shopping, Toys R Us (DD found her gift card! ), CVS, and maybe Rite Aid.

That's about all from here...Hoping to get another Shred workout in tomorrow!

 

[lovinaz]

Good job listening to your body and taking a rest from working out.

I am also headed to the grocery store today - a Sunday ritual!

 

[traceycooper]

i think i have your cyber germs Tracy
Hope you've had a great weekend

 

[Amy&Dan]

I really need to try this Shred thing! Definitely wait until you are healthy to start it back up again though!

Good job on the no buy's, I am trying that out and it does make a difference. So often I buy more than I need so if I can't buy anything, well it cuts down on the impulse buys!

I got your pm's, thanks for being such a good friend!

 

[toystoryduo]

My second Shred workout is in the bag! I didn't do the workout at a 100% because I'm still congested, but I did give the best effort I could.

Today's Plan:
* Reading over WW materials
* Homeschooling
* Watch Chuck
* Walk at the mall?

Yesterday was not a no buy day. We did spend about $100 out of pocket for groceries and other things we needed. We got tons of stuff thanks to all the great coupons out there! Plus, I'll get about $15 back in rebates.

Not much else going on today....Hope everyone has a great Monday!

**************************************************

Amy~ Shred is tough especially when you're not feeling well! I'm glad I took yesterday off from working out. I hope your Sunday shopping went well! :

Tracey~ I hope you're feeling better soon!

Amy~ No buy days do make a difference! I was surprised at how hard it can be to plan ahead and stay out of the stores. (Especially when I'm bored! ) I'm going to keep doing this throughout the year since we're trying to save as much as possible. Thanks for your PM!

Great job on staring The Shred...i hear a lot of people doing this.

Woohoo on another "no buy" day, great habit to get into! I know how easy it is to end up at a store and spending money that wasn't planned.

Sorry you're not feeling well, and just give it time to work through your body. Hopefully the congestion will be out of here soon.
