Cabs n' abs ---> Wednesday

RunninTeach

Cathlete
Morning, girls.

I know I’m behind. Can’t keep up with everything at the moment. The insomnia I’ve been having has caught up with me, and it’s kickin’ my butt. FYI — might just lurk for a bit til I get a grip here.

Angie…I know what you mean—when I brought the Wii into school last Friday, I hadn’t touched it in over a month. I tend to play it for an hour or so, and then leave it for several weeks. That could change, though, with the Wii Ski game comin’ in just a few weeks! :7 Magically Hips is on Power Yoga for Happiness (2 DVDs). No, it’s not like YogaX. My beef with Tony is that the vinyasas in the first half are too repetitive. I get really bored with it. Eion keeps things moving. It’s an excellent lower body opener.

Laura…sorry about the vertigo…love NOLA, great alternative to your Keys plan. That was extremely rude of that woman. Even though it’s infuriating, in the future, I wouldn’t “explain” an answer to the person. I once read in Dear Abby that one way to respond is with a question (e.g. “Why do you ask?”)

Wendy…based upon the reaction of those on the RT last year, there is NO WAY you will be lost in the shuffle. I got the impression you are a very popular forumite! No worries, girl. :7

Di…happy cleaning!

OK, gotta get moving. Have a good Wednesday! Will catch up when I can.

Good Morning Cabbers!:)

Ang and Di: I am in contact with 2 girls, each of whom possibly need a roommate so I am hoping I am good to go. I should know very soon. :)

Diana: Good job doing the X work out and CC! And you think **I** am crazy!? LOL ;) You do your share of "crazy" work outs yourself girl!:) BBC full body wasn't bad b/c remember: I skipped the l/b exercises! I hope you get lots accomplished on your day off. I hate clutter too but somehow allow it to pile up all of the time. x(

Ang: So how were the tacos last night? I love tacos! :9 Don't eat 'em often though. Yes, I am excited about the RT too. I hope it's fun! I have so many reservations about it just due to my personality. I hope I am pleasantly surprised. :)

Cathy: Sorry about your insomnia. I know the feeling. I hope you get in under control soon. (((hugs)))

BBL!
 
Hey Ang!

A thought just popped into my head! How is our late-riser cabber going to deal with getting up in time to do a 7am class with Cathe!?! :7

I'll betcha didn't think about that one now, didja!? :p
 
Good Morning Ladies,

We had some thundershowers around 4am and they put me to sleep. I got up and made my food for today and tomorrow. I made two salads, which I throw either a can of tuna or chicken in for lunch and I also made steel cut oats.

My ankles have been a little sore for the past couple of weeks. I'm not sure what's causing it. I'm hoping its not running. I have the 10K coming up the end of this month and don't want my feet hurting. If possible, I'm going to try to go to the bootcamp class at lunch today. I'll have to skip out on our staff meeting but since I'm doing some work for someone else this week I think I can get away with it. We'll see.

I'm so looking forward to having Friday and Monday off. I have an appt with a laser specialist to see about getting rid of some acne scarring and hyperpigmentation on my face. I hope whatever treatment they offer will be affordable for me. If the scarring was anywhere else I probably wouldn't even care.

Cathy-Glad to see you back today. Sorry about the insomnia. I hate that groggy, foggy feeling after not sleeping well.

Wendy-If following p90x, this next week would be a recovery week. Since I'm not really following the X rotation, I'd like to either do a week of GS, or cross train express, or maybe a week of circuits. Something with the fun factor if you know what I mean. What do you think? I'm glad to hear about the potential roomies.

Angie-You must be sleeping in today:) What is Tony torturing you with today? I have Legs & Back on tap for tomorrow.

Laura-Did you mention you were going to vegas? When? I've been there a couple of times and it's just not my thing. DH loves it there though. Of course, he tends to win but I'm not so lucky.

Time to get Jerod up for school and get myself in the shower.
Have a great day ladies.

Morning Ladies!!

The superset torture was just what I needed .. had a packed class and there was a lot of moaning and groaning .. SIL says that is her fav w/o .. I was spent afterwards... and figured I would have major DOMS today .. but only in the buttocks ... so far that is!

Cathy .. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ann Landers article .. thank you for that .. I need to make copies of it and hand it out when someone questions me about no kids!! LOL ... I forwarded it .. one of my friends wrote back "she forgot one thing .. if you get divorced .. you are divorced .. no reason to have contact w/the EX" .. she has a super nightmare of an EX and they fight all the time about the kid!! hate you are having trouble sleeping .. I HATE that!! Have you ever tried Simply Sleep by Tylenol?? I take a 1/2 dose when I get like that .. and it is wonderful .. but you don't feel drugged .. not like Tylenol PM or others .. just relaxed .. it is over the counter!!

Wendy .. MAN do I ever wish I could join ya'll at the RT .. we would have a blast!! I would love to w/o w/you girls!!!

Di .. bootcamp class is at lunch? YOWZA .. to do those classes and go back to work .. YIKES .. I guess I was thinking they were after lunch!! I think I am gonna love Vegas .. sometimes I am lucky .. sometimes not.. but I love seeing different things and would love to catch a show .. and love to watch DH play .. and our friends play .. I hope we have a good time!

Angie .. my noggin is better today .. thank goodness!!! OK . you have asked Cathy too many times about the Yoga series .. uummm ... now after all the info .. I am gonna have to purchase it .. sounds like something new and different .. my credit card does NOT thank you!!!

Vegas .. we are going next week .. I have the entire week off from the asylum and away from PIA .. WOOOOOO HOOOOOO ... {{{ doing the happy dance all over the place }}} ... I only dread the flight ..I do not fly well .. the flight should be about 4 1/2 hours .. :eek: . and the middle of the country has been having horrible weather .. I hope the plane will not be turbulent .. I will FREAK OUT ... I get scared to death!! I can't think about it or I freak out .. PRAY we have a safe and NON turbulent flight .. for my sanity's sake!! :7

Have a great one .. today is errands at lunch .. getting ready for the trip .. and a semi rest day .. going home and help DH on laying the tile in the pool room (nearing the finish line on that BTW) .. then it is Doggie bathmax .. so not a complete day of rest but rest from my infliction of torture!!}(

I will BBL to check in w/you gals .. have a great one!:D
 
So ladies I have another cool tattoo idea! What do you think of a tat inspired by my first full marathon!? I got the idea from a post on the O/F about a woman who lost 100 pounds training to run a 10k race and had her finish time tattooed on her arm when it was over! I'm lovin' it! :)
 
Hi ladies,

Well I made it to the bootcamp class at lunch and it was weight training with bands, tubing, bodybars, and weights. My inner/outer thighs and rear are going to be killing me tomorrow! Did I forget to mention shoulders, back and chest...I'm pretty sure I'm going to be really sore tomorrow.

Laura-We will miss you next week while you are away winning the BIG BUCKS:) I'll throw in a few extra workouts just for you. They have a great waterpark in Vegas, Wet n Wild that is pretty fun.

Wendy-I read that article too. What kind of tat did you want. Your finishing time, the date of the first HM, etc? I'm not really intriqued by a tat with just numbers. It's meaninful to you and that's all that matters!

Diana
 
Dang Di ... what a lunch w/o .. WOW .. I think bands and tubing are my least favorite to w/o with b/c they hurt so freaking bad .. burns like nothing else can .. and has a way of getting to those tiny fibers that weights can't get to .. yup .. you'll be feeling it tommorow ..

You know wouldn't it be nice for me to hit BIG .. HUGE .. and be able to quit the asylum and open up my own traning facility!! WOW .. that is my dream!!!

Thanks for the extra w/o next week .. I will need them .. afraid the only working out I will get is WALKING .. and STANDING .. and those oh so nice 12 oz. curls!! }(

Wendy .. I like the tat idea .. I have seen number tats put on the back of peoples necks .. I think those are kinda neat .. and discreet and personal .. for a personal victory of sorts!!! did you ever get your ankle tat?? I don't remember if you said you did or not!!

OK .. 30 more minutes!!! come on 5:00:D
 
Hiya girls

I'm NOT going back to the office until Monday! My desk is cleared off and I spent all of the money today, so there's really no reason to go back right??
I did B&B with ARX today. Ouch! That got the bi's poppin.

Cathy - I hope the simply sleep works for you. Sending relaxing sleep vibes your way.
So a ski game is coming out?? Ohhhhh, that sounds like fun!
Thanks for the yoga tips. I'm still trying to find one I actually like and not just tolerate.
Love the comeback "why do you ask?"....that is classic!! I'm gonna have to file that one away in my brain.

Wendy - So do you know if you will be at the Fairfield or the other one? I sooooo hope you get the Fairfield! How far of a drive is it going to be for you to get there?
I'm actually not a HUGE fan of tacos, but it is a big hit with DH and the boys. I use the whole wheat soft taco shells and pile up the veges and it works for me.
I definitely feel out of my comfort zone going to the RT too, but once I make up my mind on something, I'm all in! I know I will not be the only one there who has totally jumped out of their safety net. I just KNOW it will be a total blast!
Did you say 7 am?? Ummmm....I was not aware of that. Can you say COFFEE!!!:eek: Lots and lots and lots of coffee........

Diana - I was looking thru that running web site you posted the other day and it looks like there is a 5K in my back yard in September. I think I'm gonna try that one. I should be able to get ready for a 5K by then I would think. I'm shocked that there are so many races.
Sorry about the foot problems. Weren't you considering surgery at one time?
I hope the lazer specialist has good news for you. It's amazing what they can do these days.;-)

Laura - So where are you going to stay in Vegas? We stayed at the Luxor when we went and saw the Blue Man Group too. It was a pricey show but it was worth it. It cost $90 per ticket and my youngest really wanted to go. He was only 7, but he still talks about it all the time. It was definitely money well spent. He keeps bugging us to go back to Vegas!
I also don't want to scare you but rather just inform you that coming into vegas can be a bit bumpy b/c of the mountains and the temperature difference. I just don't want you to freak if it happens. It is pretty common to experience some. My BIL doesn't like to fly either and he said it would have been nice if someone had informed him of that beforehand. Lots of CABs girl....lots of CABs! The fun you will have once you get there is well worth it!!
Oh, and there's also lots of walking! Take comfy shoes. On the bright side, you can take your drinks everywhere, except the bus. We had a blast when we went and I'm sure we will be visiting again.

Have a good night girls....I have laundry calling my name.
