Good Morning Girlies!

So we went to my MIL's for dinner last night. It was a nice visit. My FIL came down here around 10pm last night and slept here as he had to be here this morning anyway to go on a chartered fishing trip. The boat is right around here so this kept him from having to take the hour's ride down at 3 or 4 in the morning. When he gets back this afternoon and cleans up, we will go to the boardwalk with him and Joey. That will be fun. :)

Today's work out will be 4DS Chest/Back work plus a 20-30 min cardio of choice in place of the step work out. I was considering Centergy class as well but something tells me it ain't gonna happen! :p

Diana:: I liked the looks of the Fitbit too. :) The wireless automatic download of the info is awesome. If I was ever going to cave on the GWF or Body Bugg I was not going to buy the display unit anyway so I don't mind that this doesn't offer one.

Lori:: My first BB weighed 13 pounds! Now I use Troylite...only 5#. I look stronger because I can put more weight plates on it! :p My biceps are probably my weakest muscle group relatively speaking. I can never keep up with Cathe's weight choices for bicep exercises but I can match her or go heavier on everything else for the most part.
 
Good Morning!

I had a nice little sleep in today:D I haven't worked weekend night shifts in a while....probably monthes so its nice to get to sleep as long as I want while DH takes DS out of the house. I do have to go back to work at 11:45 for a flight...then back again at 6 tonight:confused: Ah....I don't mind a few call outs. I actually committed myself to going on a girls trip into the city next weekend and I kind of wished that I hadn't! June is a rough month around here. Its DH's b-day, my neices and nephewd b-day, fathers day, and more b-day parties besides. In June it always seems like I am opening up my wallet. Now I have this trip booked, gas...hotel room...food...booze...cabs....Ugh! Its probably $300-$400 that I wouldn't have to spend if I stayed home. Oh well...I will shut up whining now!

I have some MAJOR DOMS in my bum and legs from yesterdays MM! So nice...but it won't be nice when I try to go for a run later;)

Wendy** I think i will weigh my bb today. But then that means that I have to get on the scale to and I don't want to do that until Mon or Sun. I put it back on just as fast as I took it off. I have had so many outtings and the weight just seems to appear over night...no joke! One day I could be 123, then next 126 and bloated....hinch the bloated feeling!!!
Sounds like you have a nice day planned! Its raining here again...but warm.

Im going to see if I missed anything else from yesterday or if I was the last one to check in.

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm not a 100% yet but do have a bit more energy. To much gunk in my chest for a cardio w/o, but MM is sounding good to me too.

I have a haircut apt at 12:30 and my nephews wedding later this afternoon. No dress yet....I may wear one I already have. I really wanted to get a new one and maybe still will.

I'm a little concerned since we haven't heard from Laura. I sure hope her Mom is okay.

I finally dropped of my nutrition questionaire at the rec ctr. I should be hearing from the nutritionist (or whatever she is) soon. I paid for a 12 week nutrition program that includes bodyfat testing at beginning and end, 3 follow up meetings and I can't remember what else. I hope it works for me.

Not sure if I mentioned that I sent middle DS to my aesthetician for their acne treatments. It's a series of 6 blue light treatments done over two and half weeks along with their skin products (of course). He's struggled with acne for several years now. He has oral medication but he doesn't take it daily because it is so hard on his stomach. Supposedly the blue light kills the acne causing bacteria. I was tired of spending money on proactive and many other products that aren't helping him. Proactive worked well for my oldest DS but hasn't done anything for my middle son. He had his first treatment yesterday. I really hope this works for him.

Lori-I'm not sure how much my bb weighs either. I would say 5lbs at the most though. It's thin which I like but do end up having to put 25lb weight plates on and off throughout some workouts which is a pain. Hope your run goes okay with the doms...maybe they will feel much better when you stretch after your run.

Wendy-It's time for me to get back into working out. It's been too long and I will probably feel much better after doing a workout. I hope it gets me in the right frame of mind to get started following a rotation. I hate playing every day by ear. I do so much better if I'm following a plan.

Jacque-did you see the game last night? I was glad that Pittsburg won. The RedWings win enough. What are your workout plans for the day?

Jen-What do you and the kiddo's have planned for the weekend?

bbl to see what everyone is up to...
 
Morning ladies !

Today will be CookDay as I asked DS what he wanted for his BDay dinner. Laughed so hard - he wants scalloped potatos with BBQ. :eek: Oh well, it's his day today. Getting excited to see the little ones again too. It has been a month and pics are showing the new one as changed already.

Wendy - Fun nite last night and fun day today too ! Enjoy. You little bugger for posting the Fit Bit. It was all I could do not to preorder. But it does sound great and looks like they have done lots of testing. And, I must say, they are from No. Calif. where we have all the techies - I'll probably bite here soon. P.S. If you think you can't match Cathe on the BB bicep curls, you need to do STS ! It will get you there in no time. I was amazed at the few times I could tell how heavy she was lifting and a couple times mine were heavier? Maybe because she was using "perfect form" for the tapings, but she did struggle many times at the end. (Just my try at enabling here !:eek:)

Ended up with the credit card sized ped and it seemed to work well yesterday. I didn't wear them (part old one, part new one) the entire day, but by the time I was on my FOURTH , (yes fourth ! the more I dug into DS2's "old room" to ready it for DS1, I found things missing - blanket, wrong sized comforter, etc.) shopping trip I was nearing 8K steps total. After running around here cleaning, doing laundry, etc. I hit over 10K before the night was out. (Good thing as I had no workout !) I like this new ped as it doesn't stick out and make noise while I walk. Think the old one (actually the same brand) was a cheapy and believe it is quite a few years old. So, I am set now ! :D

Note about the Fitbit: It does have a display - LED right on the piece itself. Play around on the website under FAQ's and they even have a short movie you can watch to see the display. It sounds absolutely great, and, from what I could tell of the website, looks like all I need. If you sign up for a pre order I think it said you can see the beta site. They took this to the CES in Vegas this year - I'm surprised there hasn't been any "talk" of it at all on the forums. :confused: Oh well - GREAT FIND Wendy ! Thank you. <<<bows to Wendy for spending our $ again ;)>>>. No really, I like the idea and size of this one much better. I already take heat at work for being healthy !

Diana - hope you found your dress last night and enjoy the wedding today. How did you like the game last night? Well I was happy for the Penguins - I think Sidney is a super player and like the fact that Pittsburgh took the NFL & NHL in the same year ! Kinda cool. Detroit will have it's day again I am sure. They are a stellar team every year. I almost felt like a Red Wings fan when the Sharks were doing so well at the beginning of the year - was crazy, but can you imagine being that way every year? I am hoping the fact that we have one of the Detroit coaches will help the Sharks - think it made a HUGE difference this year, now it is up to the player. OK no more hockey before Lori stops reading ! KIDDING ! :p

Lori - Glad you had a great day yesterday and some good sleep last night. I guess you can look at your call ins as funding your extra $ this month? I hate it when we have so many functions all at once that cost $, but in the end, they are all very enjoyable and fun and typically family and friends so I just try to plan ahead. I am sure you will enjoy your time at all of your engagements this month. You definitely need to weight that BB young lady ! I thought mine was a 10 lb until I put it on the scale and it was 15 lbs ! Makes quite a difference. I bet you will see some great strength gains with STS, just be true to yourself on lifting heavy. And like you, after the first Meso which was endurance, I missed lifting and did one or two weight workouts during my rest week too ! Didn't suffer at all starting Meso 2 - they are very different. I suggest you don't lift anymore this weekend 'cuz you'll need fresh muscles for your first workout as you will be going heavier. Hope work goes well for you again tonight.

Jen & Laura - Happy weekend ! ! !

May pop back in if I get my bootie in gear and get a few things done around here - back is pretty sore so think I'll take another day's rest. Need to get this soreness outta here ! :mad:

Diana - posting at the same time ! Sorry you're not up to speed yet - think you should definitely go shopping for a dress before or after your haircut ! I bet it will make you feel better ! ;) Can't wait to hear how your nutrition program works. I am seriously thinking endocrinologist. Think I may hit the general doc first to check blood work.

Well enjoy the day.
 
Hi Ladies!

I am back from my run:) It went better then I expected...for myself anyway. My running partner had a taste of her daughters dinner...which she kept repeating:confused: and it made her sick. We were aiming for 17 k but did 15...which is still fine with me. Oddly enough, my legs weren't bothering me when I was running but when we walked (running partner wanted to barf:rolleyes:) my legs were killing me! LOL I have a feeling DOMS will still be there tomorrow!

Diana** When will you get the results back? That sounds so interesting. I wish someone offered something like that around here. But I guess thats it when I don't live in a big area. Enjoy your wedding today. Im sure you will have fun!

Jacque** Someone didn't ask much for his b-day:p DH wanted lobster,steak and friends over...now thats high maintance:confused: Enjoy your time with your grandkids

I may check back later!
Lori:)
 
Hi Girls. :)

I had to wait until noon to do my work out. I was about to do it at 9:30 this morning when DH decided that he was motivated to go to the store for something. I told him (thinking he'd be quick like most men are at the store!) that I'd wait for him to get home to work out so that I wouldn't have to worry about DS. Well...THREE HOURS LATER I finally got to do my work out! :rolleyes:

I did 4DS chest/back weight work then BL Cardio Max work out 1 which is 20 minutes long. It was perfect! I was a sweaty mess when I was done! :DCathe humbled me during 4DS...I tried (for the first time) to do chest flys with 25# DB's b/c that's what Cathe was using. :eek: I BARELY finished the first set and then lowered to 20's for the second set. YIKES! So much for being able to keep up with her for everything but biceps! :p

Lori:: Go have a good time with the girls in the city and stop whining about it! :p I am going to AC with my mom fri/sat so I have the potential to blow the same amount of cash as you AND ingest as much alcohol and bad food as you. Does that make you feel any better? ;) So did you weigh your BB or are you gonna wait a few more days?

Diana:: So did you make one last attempt to find a dress for your wedding? How did your hair appoinment go? Hope you have fun at the wedding. I used to use Proactive. It definitely helped me too.

Jacque:: I am still leaning towards a "nay" on STS. Unbelievable, I know, but I just don't see myself seeing a full rotation through and I'm not going to spend that kind of money (or ask someone else to) if I don't see myself using it as it was intended. I am loving hearing about everyone's results though and have no doubt that it is an EXCELLENT program....just not for me at this point I don't think. There is always ofcourse, the possibility that down the line I will change my mind-you NEVER know! ;) The more I look at the FitBit website the more excited I get. For now I just signed up for the email alert that it's in stock but I know me. I will likely cave and pre-order before that happens! :p

Jen::
Hope you had fun with the fam at the casino!

BBL~
 
Just got back from a short walk that burned up 2300 steps. :D Thank goodness cause I was doing very poorly up until then! Even with my work out I was only in the 6000's when I walked out the door. Didn't want to be marching in place for 20 minutes before bed again in order to make goal! The last 2 days I haven't made into the 7k range! :eek: Wasn't letting that happen for a THIRD time! :p

Quiet today. I guess everyone is enjoying their Saturday!:)
 
Hey Ladies,

After my hair appt I had about 30 minutes to run through Penney's and YES, I found a dress on the 50% off rack! I took it and ran home, changed and left again.

The Ring Ceremony was very short, 15 minutes maybe. Prior to that they had what they called a family dinner but there were a lot of friends there also. After the dinner there was 2 hours until the ceremony. I went to my MIL's since I was just down the street from her. I visited with her for a while and helped her save her vacation pics to her computer and to cd.

I started uploading some pics to picturetrail but I apparently have used my FREE limit. Now I need to pay or find somewhere else to share my photos. Do you ladies have any suggestions? Does anyone use Picasaweb?? If so, what do you think of it?

Nighty night girls...see ya in the morning.
