CABs & Abs.......muscle up Monday!

[RunninTeach]

Good morning, girlies! http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/exercise/th_bodybuilder.gif Happy Monday!

I’m off today on a professional development day (working on NB stuff). So my day entails: work, allergy test at 4, yoga later tonight. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_icon_meditation.gif

Wendy ~ OK, good to know. I’m gonna guess TJ is *not* for me then. Favorite song on Guitar Hero? Hmmm…That’s tough. I like most of them, and of course, they are now stuck in my head. I was stoked to see Social Distortion’s “Story of My Life.” Also like playing Poison’s “Talk Dirty to Me.” I see there’s an 80s version of GH but only for Playstation…I would LOVE to get my hands on that if they ever make it for the Wii.

Angie ~ good job getting your work out of the way so you can relax…I did things in the opposite order yesterday and hate when I do that…I have been on two cruises also, and well, you know my feelings about Disney. The other cruise I did was Carnival…they are usually the cheapest and are considered the least formal…however, there will still be at least one night that’s a Captain’s Night dinner and you do have to dress up somewhat. I think guys have to wear collared shirts and a sports jacket. All that being said, I am looking at Royal Caribbean for my mother’s 60th b’day cruise this summer. Celebrity is at the top of the list as well. Carnival was good but the others get higher reviews, and I’d like to try something different. It is a great way to travel. No matter which line you go with, you will find plenty to do that doesn’t involve lounging by the pool if that’s not your thing. There is usually a casino, fitness center & classes, games, nightclubs/bars, bingo, shows, movies, ice skating, etc. – plenty of entertainment for everybody’s tastes. I agree, it is good to have your travel agent book the air arrangements for you. If they book with the cruise line and you miss your flights for any reason, the cruise line will arrange to get you on the ship. Otherwise, you’re SOL…that sounds like a great arrangement for all when MIL takes the kids.

Di ~ I have only tried HIS or LIS (can’t even remember which) once…there just isn’t time these days to learn new routines…and IA, you have to be in the right mindset. A Hawaiian cruise sounds wonderful!

Have a GREAT day!

Morning Ladies!!

Had a GREAT weekend! Was on the go all weekend ... so got NO EXERCISE >... aahhhh .. feel like a whale today!!!

Friday night - Buster (big male dog) went bizzerk w/his toy and tore it up .. unfortunately the dang thing was partially filled w/plastic BB's! OMG .. a MILLION plastic clear BB's went ALL OVER my wood floors - scared Buster to death he looked like ...OMG what in the H### have I done .. have you ever tried to sweep up round BB's off of a wood floor??? It was as sight to behold!! I am still finding the pesky little things all over!! Then it was on to Doggie bath max .. think I got thru around 11:00 that night~!

Saturday - VBF and I had a girls outing .. but her mother called and her friend busted her @$$ in Macy's and they were in the ermergency room ... (right leg knee was messed up ..left ankle was messed up)so we stopped by to check on them .. and ended up trying to load this 400# woman in a van .. OMG .. note to self: NEVER gain that much weight ... stay active and fit even into you old age!! GEEZE! My hamstrings were sore from lifting her .. I don't know how in the world they were gonna get her out of it????

anyway .. lots of funnies .. lots of going .. and lots of CABS flowed! LOL

Today is back to reality .. 4 DS shoulders and back at lunch ..tonight circuit class w/extra reps!!

Cathy - love your picture .. and LOVE the rolling snow bunny!! If I had to choose between a Carribean vacation and a ski vacation .. YOU KNOW which one this sun lover would choose!! LOL

OK .. gotta run .. Monday's are always wild around here ...will BBL for personals and to see what everyone else is up to!!

TTYS!!!:7

Happy Monday..

I'm doing my best to start the day off right. The kids moved in yesterday. They still need to put up the bed and get their things put away. I'm pretty po'd at ds. He selfishly decided to sleep alone at the apartment and leave Amanda and the girls at my house. I tried telling him he should stay at our house but he was a big jerk. I got up twice in the night to help Amanda with feeding & changing the girls. They are just too precious.

I did Lowmax this morning. It seems like it's been forever since I've done this wo. I have so many w/o's and the elliptical it's hard to choose what to do everyday. I forgot to mention that my green band broke during the outerleg step w/ band. I manage to finish the exercise with 1/2 a band. I saw there was a small tear but now it's broken completely. I'm going to look at Target or Sports Authority for another one.

Zach is very sick and DH thinks he may have an infection from his oral surgery. He's not running a fever so I don't think it's the flu. I made an appt with his oral surgeon for today.

Cathy and Angie-you might want to check out this website for great fares on cruises. www.vacationstogo.com You will have to register but it's free and you can see the great deals they offer. Several of my coworker use this sight and go on cruises almost every year.

Laura-I'm sure those bb's will be around for awhile. I hope friends mom's friend (right??) is okay. How sad to be that overweight. I'm sure it's embarrasing for her as well.

Wendy-You must be working this morning. I'll check back later to see what you are up to today.

Hi Cabbers.

I just finished part 1 of my work out..yeah, I know and this is the start of my recovery week! LOL But seriously, I did TJ's 20 minute work out with the weighted gloves and will do yoga tonight so it's not like I'm killin' myself here girls. I had alot of fun with TJ today as I caught on to the moves a little better. I was tempted to do it 2x since it's so short but since I have yoga on tap for tonight I decided not to. I also got a really late start which didn't help.

So I have some nice DOMS in my lower body from S&H y'day! I guess upping the weights in the pre-exhaust sets helped! WOO HOO! I'm still considering the weighted vest though as I would still prefer to be able to lighten the load on the BB for squats and lunges. It's so heavy to keep lifting back and forth over my head so many times. I also played with the weights on the plies and found something I like: Using a BB in the cradle position like Amy uses it in Slow Mo so I'll do that from now on.

Nothin' else to report so I'm gonna go for now but I'll be back later for personals!

Ok .. have a problem .. had a hang nail on my little toe .. pulled it and now I have a throbbing aching toe .. I am limping in these dang heels .. what an idiot!! I better not have messed up my workout tonight .. hoping the tennis shoes will fit loose and the socks will pad it ...DANG it .. it looks like a big angry blister/cut ... what a PIA!!!

speaking of PIA .. just found out I will have to work w/her Wednesday .. I know I will have to place some duct tape over my mouth . . the boss will be gone ... we are still shorthanded one cashier ..plus 1 girl is out sick .. and the other will have to go to another office!x( OK .. dreading it already .. will have to go kill myslef in the gym Wednesday at lunch just to vent and make it till 5;00 ... something tells me I may be indulging in a CAB (or 2) that night!!

Di .. man DS is showing his hiney big time huh?? sounds like he wants to run away and let the "women" handle the babies .. uumm.. she didn't make them by herself .. she shouldn't raise them by herself!! It has gotta be hard on everyone ... but he needs to suck it up and pay the women in his life some respect .. b/c he is SURROUNDED by women now .. LOL!!! He is totally outnumbered!! .. sending some good vibes your way .. good luck .. like I said b-4 you have your hands full .. but at least you are getting some cuddly time w/the babies!!

Wendy .. your rest week is most people's workout heavy week!! LOL Have you peeked on the blog?? Cathe has some rehearsal pics up .. and see she has added some paper plate work .. YOWZA .. I use them in my class for balance work and core work but NOT WEIGHT work .. YIKES!

Cathy ...hope your day is going well!!

Angie .. are you buried under paperwork??? I meant to tell you .. man you are just like my VBF she can sniff out a good buy or good sale ... way to go on your shopping adventure!!! and nothing like getting something that you think may not fit and it being BIG .. YAYAYAYAYAAYA . . such a good feeling!!

OK .. come on 5:00 ... I am ready to get this Monday over with .. keep your fingers crossed that the toe wont ruin my workout!!!

Good Evening Girls!

Diana will be happy to know that I've changed my recovery week. I've opted out of SS in favor of TJ and KBX(since they're new!).

Here's my week as it's planned right now (subject to change ofcourse):

M)TJ 20 min cardio / yoga
T)TJ Turbo Sculpt/ KBX (combos 2/3/4)
W)TJ Cardio Party
R)TJ Ab Jam/Run
F)TJ Turbo Sculpt (no abs)/KBX (combos 3/4/5)
S)TJ Punch, Kick & Jam/ TJ Ab Jam
S)Yoga/Rest Day

Cathy: TJ is a bit dancier then I ever imagined myself enjoying but it really is fun IMO. After only the 2nd time through the 20 minute work out I am feeling alot more comfortable with it. I hope you got lots accomplished today!

Laura: Still finding BB's huh? Just like I'll be finding glass for weeks! I know how you feel. x( Sorry about the woman who hurt herself in Macy's. Do you know how that happened? I read Cathe's blog today and saw the paper plates. Should be interesting and a good reason to FINALLY buy the gliding discs I've been considering getting for ages! LOL

Diana: I'm sorry your DS is trying your nerves the way he is. Hopefully it's just stress that is making him act this way and it will get better. I hope so. Keep us posted on how Zach is doing please.

Cathy and Diana: I re-sent your emails today for the 2nd time!!! It's been 9-10 days since you ladies first requested the switch. I'm getting aggravated now. x( I'm sorry it's taking so darned long. UGH!

K, I guess I'm all caught up but I'll be back before the night is over to see if anyone's around!:7

Later babes!

Good evening cabbers

It's raining here and it's supposed to turn to ice tomorrow night. Gee...can't wait for that. I'll be going in tomorrow to try and get those W-2's out and try to get all my Wednesday stuff done since it may not be safe to get on the roads if this storm and cold weather hit like they are supposed to.
I got home and did the ab section in PUB, then PUB, then ARX. My ub and abs definitely got hit! Tomorrow is a date with Sean on the EXT. I'm doing the #4 one, since I just got that one back from BF and I haven't tried it yet.

Diana - Sorry about your Cathe frustrations yesterday. If I'm tired or PMSing it, I don't try new footwork b/c I get the same way.}(
So are you thinking a Hawaiian cruise or a trip to Hawaii? Thanks for the cruise website...I'm gonna check that out for sure.
I wish I could just take the family to an amusement park and call it good but there's just one problem with that. I'm the only one in the family that remotely likes rides. DH and both DS's hate roller coasters or anything like that. DH is a daredevil with his snowmobile and 4-wheeler and loved driving a race car so I don't really get it....he says it's because he's not in control of the roller coaster.:7
Hope you can get some uninterrupted Z's in your future.
Hope DS is doing allright as well.

Cathy - So did you have a productive day at work?
Hope you enjoyed your zenful yoga tonight.
You are completely talking me into this cruise girl! It sounds sooooooo fun!! With this rain I am already getting spring fever and want to hop in my camper and get outta here pronto.:7

Laura - You need to teach Buster how to use that dyson! Hope neither you or DH accidentally find more of those beads when you are not expecting them and break your butt. ACK!
DH and I were watching a carribean cruise on the travel channel and they stopped somewhere and were swimming with the sting rays...I said "wouldn't that be cool". DH kinda just looked at me and said, "uh, yeah....I'm not sure sure". LOL!
Yup, I love finding a good bargain. Actually I NEED to go bra shopping. I can't fill out the cups in the bras that I have anymore! :7 I hate clothes shopping....let alone bra shopping, especially when it entails getting smaller ones. LOL!
Doesn't that blog look intriguing??? I'm so stoked!
Hope that toe doesn't side line you tonight. Once you get those endorphins running, maybe you won't even feel it.
Sorry you have to put up with PIA on Wednesday. Maybe you'll be so busy that you won't have to deal with her too much. Can you bring an ipod so you don't have to listen to her....or perhaps duct tape if all else fails???

Wendy - Looks like you got it all figured out for this week. Enjoy your rest week.
Will your credit card be able to resist all the new stuff Cathe has coming out? I'm seeing some things there that look pretty tempting. I wonder when she will have workouts that use the kettleballs she has.

I'll check back with you all tomorrow. Have a great night!

Angie,

Were you trying to KILL your abs today!? Holy cow girl! Good work out! Hope that ice prediction is not accurate! I hate ice. I'll take snow any day!

I realized I had 1 too many days in my rotation this week so I had to adjust it but it's not too much different. I bascially had to take out one of the KBX workouts and double up on a TJ but it's all good now! I'm excited. I'm really enjoying TJ so far...}(

Off to bed!

Nighty-night!
