12 Week Challengers.....THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

[banslug]

Good morning, everybody! Happy Weekend!!!! What's on your agenda?

OK....this morning I got up at 6am for my workout! I did Cardio Kicks w/ my weighted gloved (LOVE IT) and Core Max 3 (with the stability and med ball). Feel GREAT! Tomorrow I've got 7-10 miles for my long run (it's a taper week before we pick up the mileage again, so I can choose between that range).

Plans for today are low-key. My mom is at a craft show at a local town's high school, so we're going to head there to check it out. Then Dave's DS has a basketball game this afternoon. We should also hear this weekend if MY DS's team makes the play-offs! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED! Today is officially Day 1 of our 9 day Spring Break. Nice and relaxing, hopefully!

OK...time to dry my hair and have meal #1!

I am up and gettint ready to get breakfast for the kiddos. We have an Easter egg hunt today so I will workout after we get home from that. I was up at 5:45, my son came home from an all-nighter, but I went back to bed. I think my WO today will be KPC.

Good morning Becca, Gayle and everyone that follows. ;-)

Very busy weekend going on for me. Last night we had a karaoke contest at our bar and grill. TONS of people, lots of great singers, good tips, but really tired feet :-( We are up now and getting ready to go away for a night with another couple - just adults - and tons of fun! I'm very excited, DH and I need a break from work and the 'norm'.

My workout was working last night, on my feet for seven hours straight walking and waiting on people. Today will be a rest day and tomorrow, a run outside with my new iPod and songs I downloaded this past week. I'm very excited for that.

Have a great weekend everyone!
Marcia.

Good Morning Girls

I did 3 miles and decided to throw in a ride on the bike as well--Did 11miles. Worked triceps too I had lots of energy ..amazing since we were out last night It was a fun birthday party. DH's golf buddy. He is italian. Talk about loving italian family--Was a fun party

Gayle: Fingers crossed on your son's team. Shins feeling better?

Becca: Any time you want some more recipes just let me know. If I try another and it's a big hit--I'll pass it onto you have fun at the Easter egg hunt. Are your kids on break right now?

Amelia: Hope your ankle gets better. I missed what did the ER say? Enjoy your dinner out--sounds like fun

Marcia: Running a bar has to be so hard. You deserve a get away. Have lots of fun.

Jacque: Running is a big passion of mine now. I lift--don't know if I would say I lift heavy like you asked. I follow Cathe's workouts and can sometimes match her on a good day and sometimes I can go heavier on a great day. I just listen to my body. Clean eating has helped me drop the body fat. It's a life style for me. I don't call it a diet. I allow myself a treat if I so desire. Which I think allot of us do in this check-in. I guess basically I have found what works for me. I know everyone is different. I hope you can find what works best for you.

I'm off to the shower

May be back laters. I think we are staying put most of the day

Enjoy your Weekend everyone

Good Afternoon

Sounds like everyone is having a busy Saturday. I am working all weekend but Im working night shifts, so I got up at 10:30 and DH lef on snowmobile for the afternoon. I tried putting DS down for his nap but he wants no part of that just yet.
I was going to do a circuit workout with my TM and DM but I forgot, I have no tetris game to play and without that, my runs are BORING! I hate it! Sooo, Im thinking about doing The Viper instead and ME&PH abs A long enough workout and DS should still be asleep when I finish which means I will have plenty of time to get ready for work

Gayle** I kind of like it was DD is out of school but at the same time I like it when she is in school as well! When doing KB'ing, I use my ankleweights and wrap them around my hands. Makes for a great workout!

Amelia** I hope that ankle heals quickly!!! How many weeks have you been following BFL? What are you going to do after?

Becca** Enjoy your day with the kiddos! Sounds like fun!!!

Marica** You sound like you had a busy night? Ahhhh...but just think of all the cals you burned while running around!

Kath** Glad to hear you had fun last night and aren't feeling the effects today. We are planning a girls night out next Fri night and I know I will have a big head the next day:-( LOL But I will have fun while I am out

BBL!

Good morning ladies-

Just got up after a very late night. The Sharks won their 11th straight, WOOO HOOOO !

Still not feeling energetic, but after 2 days without working out, hope to mustare up enough do a light cardio probably. Think I'll just review my Cathe DVD's and pick a timesaver to see how I feel.

Gayle - hope all the boys have good news today. I used to do tole painting and craft shows - was so much fun - I love attending those shows.

Becca - have fun at the egg hunt, I love watching the kids have fun like that. KPC sounds like it may be in the running of choices for me today. Just low kicks and small crunches, but really would love to punch this "cold bug" right outta my system.

Amelia - soo sorry your ankle has swollen so large. Guess you really twisted it badly. Keep it up and enjoy your night out !

Marcia - sounds like between last night and this weekend (and your new iPod) you got a fun filled weekend. Have tons of fun !

Kath - boy you got the miles in today, huh? Think I may vicariously use some of your energy today, but don't think it will be for 14 miles

Will BBL - don't have plans this weekend, just taking it as it comes.

I thought I would check back in before I go to bed.

Have you all seen the new blog pics?!?!? With every new picture they post I want to pre-order! I'll have to sell some more stuff on ebay first.

I did all of KPC today, first time making it through the whole thing.}( I was totally dripping with sweat, it felt awesome! We went to two Easter egg hunts and took the kiddos to see Horton Hears a Who. It was quite fun.

Amelia, ds is doing well, thanks for asking. He is not liking his dressing changes at all, but he sucks it up and gets through it. I have not been on the treadmill since. I don't want to do it when he is up because I'm afraid that the noise will scare him. I hope that you had a great dinner out! So sorry to hear about your ankle: rest, ice, compress and elevate!

Marcia, I hope you have a great night out! Sounds like fun!

Kath, I ALWAYS want recipes! ;-) :9 So anytime you want to send them my way, feel free. No, my kiddos are not on break. We typically only get Good Friday and the Monday after Easter off. This year we are using the Monday as a make up day since we took too many snow days. DS gets a three day weekend and that's it. Have I asked you what running program you are following? I am really thinking about starting to run, once ds is over the trauma of the TM and it gets warmer out side.

Lori, you play tetris while you run?!?! That is a great idea! I don't think I am coordinated enough to accomplish that.

Jacque, what WO did you do today? I hope that you are starting to feel better.

Tomorrow I have SS on tap and then I am switching to a 4DS rotation. I have been loving Body Blast, but I miss my 4DS.

Have a very blessed Palm Sunday!
