::: CHEETAHS ::: Taking Thursday by storm

[RunninTeach]

Wendi :: WTHeck ~ hasn't your boss heard of this little, new-fangled thing called a cell phone? I'd have been sour, too, to drive all that way for nothin'. Can you institute a late pickup fee? Seems the only way to get some to respect appointments is to hit 'em in the pocketbook. Anyway, hope that cardio sweatfest let you get out those aggressions! Thanks for the rotation feedback. Love gettin' cheetah input.

Jackie :: thanks for the WP suggestions...I will go have a look-see on Amazon and possibly add those to my shopping list. Ooh, a k'boxing workout on the BOSU w/ weighted gloves sound deliciously wicked.

I just finished PH back & bi as well as Squeeze abs (yeowch) but have yet to summon myself to the EXT. I may just get there yet, but I am cancelling tonight's plans for a libation or two. Diet doesn't need that, anyway.

Oh, and how's this for a funny? I finally ordered a replacement KM (mine has been MIA), which arrived today. Wouldn't you know I found the sucker today?!

It had fallen in the back of the DVD cabinet. *lol* Gotta love Murphy's law.

BTW, I keep forgetting: Sunny says hi!

Good Afternoon Cheetah Babes.

So I did Itread 20/30 minutes this afternoon and logged 3.30 miles in 33:13 minutes. It was a great run!

I was supposed to do 4DS bi/tri at nap time but I took a nap myself that was too long so now I'm all groggy. No way I am lifting with such a fuzzy head. Perhaps I'll have spunk enough to do it this evening. If not, it will have to get done in the morning.

Jackie: It actually started clearing up here this morning by 9:30-10am and the sun was shining by the afternoon. We needed the rain so it was fine. I just hate when it rains all day long. Nice work out today.

Wendi: OMG I am soooo sorry everything got cancelled today! And that mother that left you hangin' for an hour after you were so nice and offered to meet her half way! ACK! I would have been MAD too! You must have the patience of a saint girl cause you put up with way more B.S. then I could with out punching someone! LOL

Cathy: Glad you are feeling better. Hope the afternoon work out pans/panned out for you. I intend to sign up for the one month trial of the nutrtion program next week when I get back! I'm very excited about it!

Christine: I hope you enjoy the nutrtion program. It sounds really great, doesn't it? I need to move to Cali! I'd probably be able to find an entire circle of friends who are all into fitness. Here, I have almost no one. ACK!

Gloria: The excitement over vacation is only minimal. I am happy to be going away and what not but the group we are going with do not vacation the way I prefer to do it so it can get a little "hairy" at times. We've gone on vacation with this group a few times and MOST of the vacations result in DH and I atleast bickering but usually having a big fight yet he still INSISTS on going places with them. UGH. This is why we are coming home tuesday instead of staying the week. Perhaps if we shorten our stay, the chances of us not fighting will be better. LOL

Dallas: I don't have any races on the calender as of right now besides the 18 miler. I was signed up for a 5-er a couple of weeks ago but blew it off. I just wasn't feelin' it. I am currently considering a 15k in September though. I don't think I'll be racing in August. I for one haven't pre-ordered any of Amy's new stuff. I have KBX which I rarely do because it's too much complicated choreo for my tastes and Slow Mo which I like but just haven't gotten around to doing! I had pre-ordered Tracy's Strike Zone and was disappointed so I sold it to a fellow Catheite. I don't own any step or hi/lo from Tracy or Amy. I know better. They are too fancy on the footwork for me. I don't even do the 4DS step and I love Cathe's step with the exception of RS. Now if Amy were just putting out a KB work out, I would order it in a heart beat!

Lori: Sorry you lost all of those personals...and at 2 in the morning no less! OMG how frustrating! Getting excited for the roadtrip? I'm trying but I'm just not feeling it. I considered backing out on more then one occasion. I don't know what's wrong with me!!!

Carole: Free roaming dogs scare the crap out of me. It's part of the reason I don't really run around my neighborhood. Dogs get loose around here on occassion and I don't want to come face to face with one who isn't having a good day when I have no where to go! We'll have to see if we can figure out a reasonable time for chat for both east and west coast cheetahs. All we can do is try! If not then the west coasters can arrange a chat and the east coasters will have a separate one. Not as much fun but I know it will be impossible to get us ALL online at once.

Looks like that catches me up for now. Time to think about dinner!

 

[Fit_mommy]

BTW, I keep forgetting: Sunny says hi!

Where the heck is she!? I pm'd and emailed her and haven't heard back! I assume she's okay since you heard from her. Tell her to get in touch me with me or else!

ETA: Wouldn't ya know it, as soon as I got done posting ^^^ I checked my email and there was a response from Sunny! LOL

 

[RunninTeach]

Wendy :: posting at the same time. She is doing really well but has been super busy...I did half of my planned workout but not the EXT. I feel way better than this morning but still not quite 100%. Woozy head and sinus congestion, the latter of which is not a typical reaction for me. I'm just glad the worst is over...I never know what to believe in terms of the weather forecasters. I hesistated to go out for a run this morning b/c the skies looked so ominous, and wouldnt you know, there was nary a thunderboomer to be seen or heard today...So, you're not feelin' the RT at the moment?

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around today. My mom had suregy to remove kidney stones. They did that schock thing but still she was sick as a dog fromt he anesthsis (sp). Hopefully they will pass now and she won't have to have it done again let alone have to have them go and remove them if this doesn't work. Then I went and got my neice and brought her to my house until the end of the month. She is going away to college in a few weeks and I wanted her to visit one last time before she is off. She is my goddaughter and my mom and dad's first grandchild. Plus she is my favorite sisters daughter . I did get in a 7 mile run this morning and now after all that I'm so so behind on eveything. Dh just came in and he is out mowing the lawn so I'm off to girll some type of quick and easy dinner while the kids are in the pool.

Hello cheetahs Posting at an unusual afternoon time for me. Was just too tired in the morning. Took a cardio rest day and did ME when I woke up. Well, I ended up just as sweaty as after a "cardio" workout with this one. It's been a while since I did it all as is. Back to work tonight and then I enjoy a 4 nite stretch off. I'll be heading to the Jersey shore as usual but probabaly wont go til Sat. am.

Jackie- FUN KB workout for you today! I have the TJ fat blaster vid... fun way to work up a quick sweat. I guess your dream house is slowly getting in order. There is so much I want to do with the house we just bought but it will mostly have to wait until we sell our Az property

Wendi- Yes, the cheetahs are on a roll with the doggie avatar pics! I actually considered using one of my kitties... probably will change it in the future. OMG... that sux that you made that drive only to have the class cancelled!! I'd put in several tantrum girls!!

Cathy- Sorry you had migraine issues today but at least it didn't seem like the day ruining type for ya. When is the neurology appointment anyway?
I do have the distance classic (in late Sept) penciled in on my calender.
I'd love to do this one!

Christine- Being computer challenged I appreciate your explanation about the Beta release.... Had NO idea what that was! I'll be very interested to hear your take on the nutrition program. Does sound like you had an enjoyable day working out with the coworkers

Gloria - Wow, that is quite an event coming up for your DHs shop this weekend!! Have you done your share of canoe racing at all? BTW, KCM is for Kelley Coffey Meyer.... quite alot to type out!

Dallas- I believe any change in routine is always a good thing re: your workouts. Try the total body workouts for a bit , then go back to the splits. Yes, I preordered both ASCIII and Rumble. I didn't know she uses kettleballs with this one! Oh dear, looks like I'll have to step up on my purchase plan for the kettleballs. Her choreography is somewhat challenging but sure is fun once you get it down!

Lorie- I'd break out the tantrum girl too after losing that lengthy post!!!
Fantastic job with the circuit circus. You sure didn't lose any speed with your break in Aruba!!!

Carole- How is Beau doing with the housebreaking? How does he get along with Sadie? I guess I ranted on a bit about the obesity epidemic because there are so many of them ending up on the unit I work and I have to move them around! Is LL getting pretty easy for you know that you are the queen of the squat rack?

Wendy- Sorry you and your DH had an off bowling nite and I hope you got in a satisfying workout at the gym today. Packing for another trip?
Where to?

Posh- Great to hear from ya! You sound very enthusiastic about the nutrition program and I look forward to hearing about all your progress!

Karen- How nice that we are within travelling distance! Hopefully we can meet up for a race or two!

Well I think that about catches me up for now. Take care lovely cheetahs!

Well, I'm embarrassed to admit that my workout for this afternoon was NapMax. I was okay until I sat down for 5 minutes and then that was all she wrote. I'm NOT looking forward to bowling tonight...in fact I'm debating whether or not to go as I won't get to bed until around 11:30 and have to be back to work by 3:30 am. Grrrrr, what to do...

Jackie - Fantastic workout today! I think you certianly made up for the lost run. You really do have *quite* the collection there. How nice that you hope to have your open house soon. I'm sure your house will look spectacular....as if it doesn't already. I hope I'm not stepping on Wendy's toes...when we say the lanes are "dry" it basically means that the house has put out less oil on the lanes than usual OR there have been so many games bowled on that particular lane that, with every shot thrown, the oil either dries up or "pushes" down the lane, creating a drier spot or "track" on the lane. What it means in terms of ball reaction is that, in general, your ball will hook much more due to the increased friction. It can be likened to driving. A car turns much sharper on a dry road as opposed to a wet, slushy or icy road. Depending on what kind of equipment you have, what kind of condition you're used to bowling on, etc. it can make it much harder to throw a lot of strikes because it can be much harder to control the amount of hook. Bored yet *lol*?

Cathy - Oh, thanks hon, but the boss didn't have anything to do with this one. See, the horse show office doesn't open until 7am (1 hr before the first class starts). I had to be at the show by 6:45 so the two horses could get braided. I had to leave the farm by 5:30 to get there on time so there was no possible way to have known that this was going to happen *shrugs*. I consider these particular clients friends but, lately, I don't know. This most certainly was NOT the first time this kind of thing has happened. Unfortunately, the clients get what the clients want and we must cater to them if we want to keep the business. Glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better after your workout. You've got to be kidding about KM?!?! Maybe SNM would accept the return?

Wendy - Heehee, I vent to you poor ladies to avoid demonstrating my KB skills at work. Great run today. Eh, don't sweat missing 4DS...sounds like we both needed the sleep. Sorry that your vacay'ing with a less than desirable group of people. I hope you're able to make the most of it and enjoy the time.

Karen - Oh, sending some {{{{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}}} your mom's way! I'm prone to kidney stones and wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I hope she feels better soon! Great run you got in this morning. Mmmmmm, grilling by the pool...can I come over? Pretty please???

Shelly - Oh, yeah, gotta love ME. I swear my HR gets right up there close to Imax range with all those leg presses! Glad you've got a little time off after tonight. Enjoy the shore this weekend. BTW, anyone interested in your AZ property yet?

Gotta go get showered and cleaned up for bowling. I guess I'll bite the bullet and go. Hey, like I've told Wendy, I tend to bowl better when exhausted so I should be up for a PR tonight *LOL*! I'll be running on adrenaline and stress tomorrow but I'm good at that. I can die tomorrow night. Have a great night ladies!

Christine: That was wonderful of you to help after the hurricane. At our grocery store they have a spicy jalapeno chicken sausage I will sometimes put in mine. I love it, but most likely not as good as what you had down south. The event was just on our local news. You could see the sign for Dh's shop and I saw his car on tv too. LOL!! I thought it was pretty cool, but I am kind of a geek like that. Have fun with the nutrition program.

Cathy/wt 2: Nice weight work. You are getting strict I see with the diet forgoing the cabs. Good for you! I will hold off on the back to school talk. I am thinking business is going to be good. YEAH!! We are now partners in the business, so I want all to go as well as it can right now. Did you go on the EXT? Glad the migraine wasn't too painful. That stinks you found the dvd. Sounds like something that would happen to me!

Wendi: I would have been fired up over that too! How rude some can be. Thank you re: my avatar. I thought that was my best pic on photobucket so far. Hope you could get in your workout!

Jackie: Thank you. DH is supportive for the most part. The bosu is fun isn't it. You can see my post to Christine about the event today.

Wendy: That's to bad your vacation isn't what you wanted. Best to keep it short. Nice run today! I have no doubt you will get in your workout tomorrow.

Karen: How nice to spend time with your goddaughter. Sounds like a busy day! Nice getting in the seven miles.

Shelly: It is quite an event. The cool thing is that they are asking for donations for the food and all the proceeds will be going to our abused women and children's shelter. We are not canoe racers, but I was thinking about it when I was running yesterday. I like ME. WOHOO on four nights off!! Enjoy your time with DH.

I ended up doing 4ds kb/bc cardio combo. All this talk of the 4ds gave me a hankering for it. Hope everyone has a great night!

 

[fitg]

Wendi: Don't worry about missing your workout. You have been crazy busy and needed the rest. Crossing my scratched up fingers from Pip for a PR in bowling tonight!!!

 

[RunninTeach]

Put in a nice, sweaty 30 on the EXT. Diet is going excellent. It's amazing how full you feel when you make better choices.

Karen :: hope mom's surgery was successful for eliminating the stones...enjoy your visit with DN.

Shelly :: Four nights in a row will be nice...I am lucky in that my migraines just put me outta commish for a few hours and not the whole day. The residual after-effects are much easier to deal with...Uh, I still have to make the appointment.

Wendi :: embarrassed? Don't be ridiculous (said in best Balky voice)! You've been keeping crazy hours, so the nap is probably just what your body needed. Oh OK, I see. Well, I guess if it's unavoidable, ya can't find too much fault...I have to credit Excedrin & Gatorade with helping me feel better, not the workout, actually. Sometimes the nausea prevents exercise from being possible. I'm glad that wasn't the case today and am even more grateful that I don't get these more often than I do...Nah, I won't bother with a return. SNM is busy enough as it is these days, and it probably isn't worth the shipping. I was thinking it might make a nice gift.

Gloria :: welllll, I am giving myself a PASS for the BBQ on Saturday.

If I'm burnin' 1500 calories on the long run that morning, I'd say it's license to chill. Yeah, I had a strange feeling that as soon as I ordered a replacement, the original would turn up. *lol*

Have a great night, everyone!

 

[fitg]

Cathy: Cabs are in order after a long run. Loved the devil smiley! Great idea to give KM as a gift! Glad you got in the EXT and the diet is in check.

Guess what? I decided to run on the tm since Pip was sleeping. Did 4 fast miles for me. I forgot to look at the timer, but I was running high speed! Two workouts for me is a first in a long time. Feeling tired now though. Good night lovely ladies!

 

[cwsoxfan]

Yippee!!!

I wanted to get here after my workout, but.... I'm so happy 4D legs and the EXT gave me no problem!!!

I just heard the music for So You Think You Can Dance. The kids and I really enjoy that show. Wish I could move just a wee-bit like them. Have to go see who's going home. I think they all should stay.

I'll try and get back...

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hi ya Girls!

Despite a headache and not feeling what you'd call full of "piss and vinegar", I made it a point to do 4DS Bi's and Tri's tonight. I was able to do it after dinner, before DH left for bowling. I skipped the ab work but that's no biggie. I'll make up for it on vacation with my beloved kettlebell! That being said, I feel really good knowing I can rest tomorrow. I think I really need it...

So DH comes home from work and had apparently been talking to a guy at work who knows Ocean City, MD. Well, he proceeds to tell me that our hotel is....get this....80+ blocks away from the boardwalk!!! WHAT!?!? THIS is part of the reason I dislike vacationing with these folks. You are going to a resort area whose main attraction (aside from the beach) is the boardwalk and you pick a freakin' hotel that is 80+ blocks away from it!? Are you out of your freakin' mind people!!!???? DH says it's probably because it gets more expensive when you want a hotel closer to the boards. Okay well then if the boardwalk is not important to you (which obviously it is NOT to these folks!) then go vacation where there is NO boardwalk and ya won't have to worry about it! UGH! I am sooooo pist right now! And I thought our location in Wilidwood was bad! OMG, I think this is worse by a mile!!!! Phew...okay, rant over. Sorry about that! I'm practicing for the next couple of days by having a couple of martinis while I'm waiting for the last of my laundry to finish so I may have gotten a bit out of control there. I apologize if I did! LOL

Okay, time to move on to something safer and less likely to cause me to want to use curse words! LOL Time for PERSONALS!!!!

FYI: I am splitting up personals into multiple posts to get past only being able to use 4 smilies per post, just so you know!


Dallas: Oh girl, you should see ME dance! Compared to me you probably DO dance like the hotties on DWTS!!!!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Gloria: WTG on a double work out day! Turns out I kinda had one too since I waited until the evening to squeeze in some weight work.

Wendi: I'm prayin' for a PR for you at bowlin' tonight! You are crazy for even goin' with the schedule you have these days girl but I love ya for it at the same time! LOL I wish you were going on the RT. I would so love to meet you! We HAVE to plan a GTG soon!

Shelly: Enjoy your time back in Jersey with DH. I am heading for Ocean City MD with my fam. We are meeting SIL's fam and 2 other families down there. There is a bunch o' drama surrounding this getaway that I won't bore you with but let's just say I'm not totally looking forward to it!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Cathy: So you are going to a bbq on saturday? Have fun! I would tell you to eat a hotdog or a burger for me but I will be eating my share of "bad" foods while on vacation. No help needed there! We will be shopping for breakfast and lunch foods to keep in the room so I will go the healthy route for that but I REFUSE to cook on vacation so who knows what dinner time will hold! LOL Yes, Sunny filled me in when she emailed me. Super busy is right and it's all so awesome. I really admire her. She is such a go-getter. I wish I could be like that. She is exactly where I want to be in the future but I am such a darn chicken butt that I may never get there! I hope your sinus issues and wooziness decreased as the evening wore on. Glad you got in a work out though! So yeah, no excitement over the RT at all! I don't get it! There are folks that will be there that I am excited to meet but somehow I am just not excited about the RT itself. I think I need my head examined!

K, I THINK I'm all caught up now but I've had a couple martinis so who knows if I missed someone! LOL

Have a great night ladies!
