BUFF BADGERS 11/19 - 11/23

[susanz]

Hi all!

My weekend was pretty productive! I got a lot of housework done and feel much less stress! However, while doing BootCamp on Friday my foot began to hurt. Stupid me,I continued to workout. By Saturday night my foot was throbbing! It hurts along the arch and into the toes. Anyway, I have decided to decrease my impact for at least this week. Since I have started staying off of it it has helped. Yesterday I did the elliptical while watching the Packers and I have very little discomfort.

So I wrote up a new rotation. I decided I have not been doing pilates on a regular basis.This form of exercise really helps me tone my rear and abs so I made a pilates rotation. I add in a Cathe endurance weight training workout once a week. For the first 2 weeks I do only the elliptical and walking for cardio. After that, if my foot is back to normal, I am adding Cathe back in.

So today is Pilates on the Ball(Mari Winsor).

My DD is home sick today. She has a bad sore throat and cough. Need to get her better by Thanksgiving!

Have a great Monday! Susan

Morning BB's,

Workout today is Tae Bo Advanced Live #2.

Well I also had a productive weekend. Friday DH decided to take the day off and we went to Home Depot to get paint for the family room. Got that room painted on Saturday morning. Have to say it looks really pretty. On Sunday we went to Chicago to get fabric. The young lady that will be playing my attendant was able to get fabric for her outfit. She will look really nice and was able to get her fabric for $55. Not a bad price.

This will be a nice short 3 day work week for me. I just love it!

Susan, Glad you are taking care of that foot. Don't want you out of commission. Looks like you have a very solid plan of attack. Hope that bug gets out of your house fast!!!

We are planning on getting DD's room painted on Thursday and Friday. We are having Thanksgiving with DH's family on Wed night. My family starts on Friday at the Dells. So on Thursday it will just be the four of us. I'm making all the fixings, but it will just be in smaller portions. :9 The girls have requested pumpkin pie.

Have a great day!

Laurie

I'm requesting pumpkin pie too!!!}(

We are going to my sisters for Thanksgiving. She always makes enough to feed a couple armies! There will only be 13 of us but she'll cook for 50! I was told to bring a cheese/sausage tray and a salad.

Morning BB's,

Workout today is 4DS Chest, Shoulders & Tricep Premix / 30 Min Run

Nothing exciting happening today, just need to do a little grocery shopping before tomorrow. I will not have time to do it Wednesday. We are going out to celebrate Thanksgiving with DH's family that night.

Susan, Looks like everyone is AWOL on us this week. Only cheese/sausage tray and a salad. What type of salad have you decided to bring? Isn't it nice when you don't have to be at the stove all day long. Sounds like your sister has a good time cooking though.

Have a great day,

Laurie

Hi Laurie! I guess it is just you and me!;-)

Today is the elliptical for 40mn. I'm going to try the "random" program. The last time I did that it was brutal!!

My sis asked me to bring a cran/raspberry gelatin salad. It's a diabetic recipe because my BIL and his brother are diabetic.

My DD came home sick from school. Apparently her throat is still sore and she can't talk!

Morning Susan,

:7 :7 :7 Since it appears as if everyone is on vacation this week we are the only two around. :7 :7 :7

We are suppose to go to the resturant for turkey day with DH's parents tonight, so probably no workout for me. I have time on Thursday for a double up workout.

Had a todo between my two brothers, and I hope it can be hashed out on Friday when we get together. We usually are a family with so little drama. Why does it have to happen now. My little brother was in tears when I talked to him. Happy Thanksgiving!!! :7

How is your DD? The gelatin salad sounds like it will be good one. Have to love cran/raspberry together. :9

Have a great day!

Laurie

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!! I doubt anyone is around, but I came to apologize. I keep forgetting that there is a new thread each week, and then suddenly a light bulb goes off when I realize I haven't gotten any email notifications of posts. D'oh!!

I am sore again this morning, I guess from my Tues. night weightlifting class. You'd think I would be past this soreness after almost 3 months of it, but no. So today will be a rest day, even though I was excited about doing a bosu workout.

I originally bought my bosu from Marie, which is how I met all of you lovely ladies. But it somehow broke and I had to toss it. The ball part separated from the base and I couldn't get it fixed, and since I didn't buy it from the company I knew they wouldn't help me.

fwonline.com has a sale this month----the smaller version for only $58 including shipping. Such a deal I had to get one and it came on Tuesday. I wanted to do a workout with it today, but this soreness is telling me to give my body a rest today.

My sons and I and my mom are going to my ex-brother in law's today. Weird huh? LOL. I am still close to my ex-husband's family, and this year in my own family, everyone happens to be going to the spouse's side. My ex-MIL asked what I was doing and then I was promptly invited and accepted. I love hanging with them, and they have two really great little boys, ages 4 and 7. Fun to be around.

Oh! The other great news!! DS18 got accepted to Carroll College and they are giving him $9,500 in scholarship money!! He's so excited, and so am I. I know he will be very happy and comfortable there, at such a small school. We toured Whitewater last weekend and it just confirmed that he wanted a small school. The dean of admissions called and left him a message on the phone; I thought that was a very nice personal touch, instead of just sending a letter or email.

Let's see......what else. I think that's it as far as news this week. Nothing much going on. The hunt for MORE scholarship money will commence soon.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Hi all! And Happy Thanksgiving!

Jill, that's great news for your son! Way to go!

I went to my sister's and had a great time. I ate too much and can't wait for my workout tomorrow! I only had time for a walk and some pilates this morning!

My DD has a severe case of laryngitis the Dr. said. She cannot talk and they gave her prednisone to help her breathe. If her larynx isn't better by Monday, I have to take her to a specialist! :-(

See you tomorrow! Susan

Good morning! I did okay last night; ate a lot and the scale is up, but only 2 lbs. I am going to go to Phase One of South Beach today for awhile and it should go away soon.

We had a great time with the family and all the food was just delicious. It was nice to just eat and not worry about everything I put in my mouth. But today needs to be back on track and on the losing train. I've been stuck for over 2 weeks now without losing, so Phase One it is!

Sorry about your daughter being sick Suzan. What a bummer for her during the long weekend.

I'm supposed to go to the gym today but I'm playing it by ear. I haven't gotten to try my bosu yet so I might do that at home.

Have a great Friday!! I hope everyone else is off of work today, too.
Jill

Hi there!

Today I am jumping on the elliptical for 2 workouts. One will be a 30mn "cardio burn", the next will be a 30mn "heart rate hill". My scale was only up a pound after yesterday so I am not too worried!

Enjoy your Friday!

Big cleaning day for me today. I have to do my wood flooring on my hands and knees to really get it clean---water spots don't come off at all using the stupid Swiffer!

So pretty much that's been my whole day; cleaning. Boring! :O

Hope you all are having more fun today!
Jill

PS---treadmill and yoga were today's workouts.
