Good Morning Ladies.

Up early today.....it's my mother's second treatment today. Just have a run scheduled. Yesterday I did the interval/circuit workout on Hardcore Extreme. I liked it! *(even though I had a very very weak day, and I'll explain why maybe some other time.......) Ok well lets put it this way.....I made some "brownies" for my mother, as an alternative for pain therapy....and I had one Sunday night to try them out.....:eek: It knocked me flat on my a$$.....:eek: (If you catch my drift) Had a hard time getting going yesterday morning.

Deb- Yayyyy on your vacation!! You must be thrilled! Now where is South Beach?? I"m not too up on Florida Geography :eek:

Trish- How did day one of Pilates go?? ;)

Lori- Great workouts the past couple of days! Now remind me what you do again? I know it's something to do with airplanes....:eek: And to me it sounds like a cool job.....even though from what you say the hours are kind of nutso.

Cookie- I'm so glad I can be an inspiration to you! lol Let me know how the Gauntlet went.....and I think that is what I will do for next time I do a circuit...... I'm almost at the end of this rotation though, and then I'm moving right on to do Oct. '07 rotation....really switching it up...back to heavy.

Helene- I am excited for you and your vacation! I know all about the craziness ;) So tell me about LIC not being your favorite? It's funny how we all think differently.....like Cardio and Weights for me. If I ever hear "buttercup" again, it will be too soon. I never ever do that cardio portion.........lol

Well I'll be back later at some point......Have a great day!
 
Good Morning!

Not a whole lot going on here today. I had a good nights sleep with no interuptions....as far as work is concerned. So I finally have a day off:eek: but back tomorrow night:rolleyes: My boss wanted to know when my coworker came back if I had 5 days off:confused: She better not call for my help this weekend is all I gotta say.

My whole body as a little bit of DOMS going on. Mostly in my legs and butt. Ill take it. So I am going to try out another Insanity workout today. They are tough but short.They are about 40 mins in length but that includes the warmup,6 min stretch, cool down and another small stretch, so really your only working your a$$ off for 29 mins or so.My running partner also wants to go for another run but we will have to wait and see what the day brings.

Iris** Look at you with your special brownies!!! I should make some of those for people at work:p I work at a refueling stop for private jets. Most of them going from the US to Europe and vice versa. Our hours use to be pretty sensible. It was Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, Sun and then the following week it would just be Wed and Thurs. We also did 8-6:30 or 6:30-8. And when we were off, we were off. We rarely ever got called out for anything cause it was never busy enough that one girl couldn't handle it all.

Cookie** Im thinking he is involved with drugs. Not big time but just something he is doing on the side. Either that, or he as a spending problem. I was soooo mad at DH b/c this guy isn't even going to tell his parents why he isn't working anymore. So basically he walks away from this without having to hang his head in shame. Im not keeping any secrets for him. If someone ask me, Im going to tell them. Why should he get to walk around as if nothing happened? His plan is to move into the city for a month and then he is moving out west. Our business partners wife (who works at the store) lost it and went up one side of him and down the other. She said, when he started getting sassy towards her she wanted to claw his eyes out:confused: She told him to grow up,...which is very clear to everyone thats what he needs to do. They gave him the chance to come clean with anything else but he says there was nothing else. They way he did it was very tricky so DH would have to do alot of work to find it. Im willing to beat he stole lots of stuff and then sold it on ebay. Dirt bag!

I will bbl! Have a good day everyone!

Lori:)
 
Good morning,

Sorry I haven’t checked in since last week. My son called us on Friday, telling us our house got hit by lightning. Rain was coming in from the side and the top of the house. Also the AC was broken; we had to get it fixed yesterday. We had a friend check the house, but he couldn’t figure out where the rain came in. DH and I had to fly to Texas on Sunday; it was too much for my kids to handle. We have a lot of fixing and cleaning to do.

My back is still hurting like hell, all the cleaning isn’t helping. I could have started this tread, but I am too tired. Haven’t worked out since last week, will try to break away tomorrow or the next day. I will check in when I can. I will try to catch up on personals hopefully today.

Hope you all doing ok. See you later.
 
Morning

It was a close call yesterday, the water was within feet from my place( the "good grief,my house is flooded" thread on OD has pics) it was sooooooo chaotic yesterday.

I woke up this morning and the water level is about 5ft lower....what a relief:confused: Thanks for all the fingers crossed.

Lori-WTG on your Doms....enjoy your insanity workout today and your night off!

Iris-If your 'brownies' are the brownies im thinking of...send me one:p Nice job on your circuit yesterday and sending positive vibes to your mothers treatment (and hugs to you both) Enjoy your run today.

Helened- One more day close to your vacation...yay! Good job w/LIC yesterday...there is some days when none of my workouts will satisfy me. Good job on getting it in.

Debbie-Any doms this morning from your TBW yesterday? Your vacation in three weeks sounds soooooooooo nice.

Trish-Im cheering your DD on....is she use to working out? Ifnot,i bet she is sore today(hehehe). Im not sure whats going on with Belinda? She had an emergency in the states and that was her last post...hopefully she will update us soon.

Cookie-Nice job on KPC. Enjoy Gauntlet today.

BELINDA...How is everything? keep us posted....hugs to you.

The schools are closed agian today, so my kids will be home driving me bonkers. Ive got a cardio coach on tabs later after DH wakes up....never did do anything yesterday. I did get one of my 1400 calorie days out of the way,yay!

On no....so sorry to hear about your house Belinda:(. Take care with your back. How much damage is there? Must be so frustrating for you and your DH...sending your hugs.
 
Belinda** I have to admit, Im kinda glad its your house. I thought something happened to one of the kids, especially since we hadn't heard from you. I can only imagine the mess you must have to clean up!!!!

Ameila** Glad to hear the water levels went down. I thought about you earlier!!! Water is the worst!! Well...maybe Belinda as a different perspective on that!

I just finished Cardio recovery. Pretty much 35 mins of stretching. Im going to go for a run after lunch and then off to the grocery store!

Lori
 
The sun is shinning!!! Its been about two weeks since i seen it....:D

Cardio Coach Volume 6 done. I only did the first and second challenge,it was still 48mins...burned 403. Thats good enough..

Lori-Enjoy your run...good job on your insanity workout.

hey to everyone, have a good tuesday evening:)
 
Good Evening.

Well today I ran 20 consecutive minutes on the treadmill.....it's been a looonngg time since I've been able to do that. I've been kind of waiting all day for my knees to start screaming at me.....but so far so good. :)

Mom had her 2nd chemo treatment today....went well, now it's waiting it out again....:( The one good thing is that they were very happy with her blood work.........and they gave her some advice on how to ward off the pain and what to do if it still persists....

Belinda- I'm with Lori, I'm glad it was your house and not your family you had to come back for! I feel for you, though......not easy work. Take care of that back!

Amelia- There are plenty of brownies to go around! lol Where do you live again? That you had all that rainnnn.....yuck I know Georgia got slammed but can't remember where you live :eek: I'm real bad when it comes to details sometimes!

Lori- Sounds like a cool job....how long have you been doing that? (again, details not my strong point...lol) I love airplanes, flying, anything to do with airports.......should be my next career, I always wanted to be a stewardess (flight attendant or whatever it is people call it nowadays)

Ok off to rehearsal...have a great night!
 
Good afternoon girls,

I'm wiped, went with my boss to do a holiday set-up. Macy's picks one store in the northeast that has a big "visit" and it is the way all the other Macy's must set-up holiday. It's weird to see all the Christmas decorations up before Halloween:confused:

I'm going to try and run on the TM after dinner tonight.

Belinda - I agree with Lori, I thought it could be one of your children. I didn't realize lightning could cause that much damage to a house. Was there a fire involved?

Amelia - Happy to hear the sun is shining:) and no damage, especially to your Cathe DVD's:D Does this happen often? I have to go check out your pic's on OD forum.

Lori - Insanity sounds tough . . . and you can still run too . . . you're amazing. Your right that is so wrong about that boy trying to keep a secret, he'll never learn.

Iris - That was so nice you to make the brownies for your Mom:) South Beach is on the east coast of FL but in the south. Daytona is the east coast too but in the north.

Cookie - Did you get to do Gauntlet today? Too funny about what DD would say:)

Trish - I think you'll probably have to go heavier in the total body classes since you do Cathe:D Let us know how your daughter does with the pilates.

Helene - So you leave soon, must be going crazy packing. Will you be staying in Orlando?

Have a nice night everyone.
 
Amelia - Just looked at the pictures, it does look scary:(. On a positive note it must be beautiful to live there when it not raining.
 
Hi Girls!

Trying to get my butt in gear for a run. I ate and ate today so I should have lots of energy for running and workouts over the next couple of days! Mostly carbs and nothing to bad. Just in the mood to nosh so thats what i did.

Ameila** Good job with the workout. Im thinking of doing 6 or 7....or maybe 3 and 4:eek: I dunno what I am doing~

Iris* What kind of cancer does your mom have again? I hope she doesn't get sick!!! My MIL use to have awful weekends after her treatments. She would have them on Fri and by the time Sun rolled around she was miserable.

Deb** O.k...so you are suppose to be running on the TM to...then thats what I have to keep thinking while I am on there. Im not alone...Im not alone! hehe!

BB in a bit to report!

Lori:)
 
Howdy girls,

Well, DD's 30-day pilates challenge ended before it started. I ended up doing pilates by myself last night. I give up...she's on her own:mad:. Just kidding..I actually enjoy working out with her when she's in the mood. Today was a Total Body Sculpting class and it really worked me. It was high reps for an hour with no breaks (wish I had my pause button). Of course, being the Cathlete that I am, I ventured toward the heavy weights:cool: but boy was I dying after all those reps. I'm hoping for some DOMs in the AM. Not sure what I am up to tomorrow but me thinks my muscles need a break.

Belinda - Sorry to hear about your lightning striking your home. Was there anyone there at the time? Hope you're able to rest your back.

Iris - Nice job on your run today. Glad your mom's treatment went well today. Fingers crossed that the tips for managing the pain pay off.

Lori - Insanity must be pretty tough if it's giving you full body DOMs. It's pretty much all high impact, right? Did you manage to get that run in again?

Amelia - I'm so happy that the water didn't make it to your house. Has the water started to ease down yet? Great CC wo today ;)

Deb - The TBS class was tough. For some reason I thought it would be slow and heavy. Boy was I surprised.

G'night ladies.
