Good Sunday Morning Everyone,
Bobbi suggested we start a new one and I she was right.The other one was getting way to long.
Well,I am starting today off with another x-tra lg coffee.I am not sure how many "normal" cups of coffee there are in this one.We didn't do anything but play some cards last night and I didn't go to bed until 2.And she had me up at 8:30.You guys are both bravier then me b/c I have tried to give up alot of things but NEVER my coffee.I did cut back to one a day.We always go for coffee at work,in the afternoon,I would get one but I would never drink it b/c I didn't really want it.But if I take a nap during the day I want one when I get up.
Sara-No, ski-dooing as nothing to do with skiing but they are both winter sports.I found a website for you.Go to polarisindustries.com.Click on snowmobiles and you will atleast get to see what one looks like.Its a way of transportaion.It runs on gas.You have to dress warm.It is fun.I don't love the outdoors that much so I have to force myself to go.As far as I know we are going today.Thats how we get to our cabin in the winter monthes but in the summer we can drive there in car or truck.They make all sorts of models.I don't know what the prices range from but I know ours was $11,000.And his fathers was around $14,000.My DH and his friends are so focused on how fast they can go and are always get extra parts put on them to make them faster.We call them cheat'in parts.My DH had $400 worth of work done on his last fall.Then they all go out to the cabin,on the pond and race.They are losers aaren't they? See your DB using ebay doesn't seem so bad after all?
I had a good workout day yesterday.I did Push Pull,60 min run and the other 1/2 of BC.I went heavier then Cathe on most of the work.I used 50 lbs for squats and deadlifts,and 24 lbs for static lunges.24 lbs doesn't seem like alot but she only used 20 AND Im lucky that I did them at all.I HATE static lunges!!!!!!! And those inner thigh ball squeezes.OH they were hard.I gave it my all and I was on fire.I am hurting from my bum down!
Today is just cardio.I am not sure what I will do or when I will do it.I am sort of leaning towards doing it now.But I also have tonight.
Anyway,I should go,tidy up my house a little and decide what to do.Living with people must me the worst thing in the world b/c no one cares that you cleaned yesterday.BUt when DH cleans,I am not even allowed to cut off a slice of bread and he is panicking b/c he thinks a crumb may go on the floor.MEN!

Hey :)

I will check out that website. I guess I was totally off base, huh? But, just to make you feel better, my DB is exactly the same way with his old muscle cars. That is exactly what he does on e-bay all of the time. He buys hundreds of parts for these things, or buys the things themselves :( Now he wants a brand new 700-something horsepower engine for one of his cars :(

No workout today or yesterday :( My DB's birthday dinner is today and I also had a birthday party to go to. But tomorrow I hope to kick my butt :) Happy Sunday :)

Good morning! I ended up going to yoga classes on Saturday and Sunday. Met my neice. I had done SS in the morning on Sat. and we did many Cobras during the afternoon yoga class. My abs are fried. Sunday's class was supposed to be a Anusara Basics but the sub thought it was 1-2 and he put us through the paces. Hence, my upper back and shoulders are sore too! I had S&H L&S on the agenda today but I am rolling the shoulders over until tomorrow. This is my last week of heavy and I am skipping cardio altogether. Just feel like it. Next week it's time to kick up the cardio but I have to do so carefully because of my tootsies. I am going for intensity and I have lots of moderate strength training planned, up to 3 times per week. I will adjust that once I am into the rotation, if necessary!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Gals,
Bobbi-you sound like your falling apart!:) Actaully you sound alot like myself last week and yesterday.I was getting more sore by the hour yesterday.Last night I could barely get up.I told DH I can manage when my upper body is sore but I need my legs to walk.My inner thighs are still sore.I think I will do that video again on Saturday.
Sara-Did you have fun at the parties? Did you eat losts of B-day cake? Cake is good for you you know? I swear there are a couple of eggs in there somewhere:)
I did Chest and Back again today.I planned on doing cardio right after but I was feeling lazy and hungry.And I keep getting lazier.My mind wants to workout but my body doesn't! Its hard whenI can't compromise.If I keep putting it off I may never get it done and I will never get a shower and fix myself up today.I am sitting here with yesterdays braid gone all fussy,two pimples on my face,a sweater on,and jogging pants(very attractive).
Anyway,I am going to force myself to workout now.Cause if I don't I will be either napping OR eating
Lori:)
 
Hey ladies :)

No workout yet today... It's only 4, so I think I still will. We went out late last night for a movie and then went home and watched another :) We just bummed around all morning and had a fantastic lunch at a local place. Horrible for a diet, but top-quality food :) I'm happy. We're also going to San Diego on Thursday until Monday. So another few days without exercise, but I'll try to get an evening at the beach for a jog :D

I'm going to get off the computer and get some stuff done. My mom is EXTREMELY grumpy now. She's getting very fed up with my sister and her husband. Except instead of putting them in their place, she takes it out on me. Typical... one thing that makes leaving easier, at least. She's yelling at me, because my coat was hanging on the back of the chair, while my sister has filled the entire family room with boxes and junk (can't walk through the room), and they're lying in their room watching TV. The living room, in the meantime, is full of their dirty dishes, bags of chips, movies, papers, cat toys, and playstation games - all from this morning. My mom cleaned the whole house yesterday. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Can you sense the sarcasm in my smileys? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I'll check in later tonight. Happy Monday!

Sara
 
You left your coat on the chair! How could you! LOL! Your poor mom! She needs to kick some butt! Ground them from the playsttaion! You hang in there. San Diego is heaven! I haven't been there in many years but when you get home and you get stressed, revisit it. It can be your happy place!

I grazed all day and I hate that. No real damage but I cannot possibly eat dinner becasue of the thin mints and carrot roll cake with cream cheese feeling I imbibed in all day! What a lazy day. It's cool and rainy and I keep joking that I am solar powered since I am so lazy when it's gloomy. fortaunately we don't get too many cloudy days and we can always use the rain but it was a so-so day.

Jog a few miles for me, ok?

Lori has been and I love her for it! I wonder if she worked out or succumbed today? I'll tune in tomorrow to find out!

Good Morning Ladies,
I am up and on my way to work.I have to be there by 7 which isn't bad but I woke up with a headache:-( I beleive it is gone now though.
Sara- I have the reverse problem here.I have my brother and father living with me.I didn't ask for how long b/c I was afraid they might get offended.They come here and work so they stay at my house.I don't mind them.They are not that messy or annoying but sometimes you feel like your privacy is gone.I heard dad in the bathroom when I needed to get up and get a shower and I was afraid that he was gonna be in there forever but he wasn't.
Bobbi-I ran for you yesterday,what good its doing.I realized it when I put my work pants on.Man they are getting tight.Remeber the nice waist line I was boasting about a month ago? Well its gone! I don't know where it went to.I don't understnad what I am doing wrong.
I workout all of the time,I don't eat THAT much but yet my comfort zone over the last year as been 130 (which I am slowly heading back to)and I use to be able to stay at 125 effortless.Maybe my eating habits have changed I haven't realized it.
This is what I ate yesterday:
9:30-3 eeg whites and a bowl of oatmeal
12:00-Boca burger(only 67 cals and it was on a english muffin)
2:00-A tiny easter egg/2 crackers with 1 tbsp cream cheese
6:00-4 meatballs(made with extra lean meat)1/2c rice,greenn peas,small piece of bread and a choc,chip cookie.
10:00-Brownie:9
Now I will tell you the workout.I did chest and back.Then at 2:30 I worked out for 2 hrs.(So yes bobbi I did workout and I felt ssssooooo much better):) I did the step part of S,J&P, then instead of doing the hi-lo parts I did 4-15 min runs.And I did the weight sections in between.
I don't know,I don't understand it.I guess the only reason why I lost weight over christmas is b/c I was so much more on the go.I really don't want to go back to my old eating habits but I am starting to feel uncomfortable in my pants again and thats one thing I hate.
O.k it is wasy to early in the morning to be whining.I have all day to go yet.
I will check back later...
Lori:)
 
I ate junk all day yesterday but I have no regrets. I haven't done that in so long and I'm PMSy to boot! I am doing SH shoulders today and that's it! Tomorrow is a yoga class and it's going to be a bummy week for me. Next week I am cautiously kicking into high gear but nothing too kicky until I see the foot doctor. We have a four day weekend this weekend because the Rodeo is in town so I am doing stuff with my kids. My neice is a wildlife rehabilitator and I am taking them to see her creatures and maybe a movie or bowling or something. It's been awhile since we did anything together. Rich is flying to Florida to see his folks in March. His dad is 91 and they want him. I always like a little break from the usual cleaning/cooking routine. I can lower the standards when he's gone. We are all going in June. I am in Sam's class this morning and then I had better get home and get busy! Laundry is piling up and my floors need a good going over after the rain. I love the tile but it gets so sloppy when it's wet. Of course, we get more sunny days than most of the US so why fret about it? I'd like to say I am feeling mellow but I am really feeling like a slug! I think I need an energy transfusion. Hook me up to some hyperactive kindergartener and transfer some bounce to me!

Have a great day!

Well, yesterday was a great day. Last night around 7, I did Step Blast and I loved it! It was fun, and I pretty much got it right away. By the end, though, my concentration was gone and I tripped up more than in the beginning :) HOWEVER, I woke up in the middle of the night when I tossed and turned, and felt that my groin muscle is hurting severely. I didn't feel anything pull during the workout, and I didn't go to bed until 1, and I still felt nothing then. I have no idea what's up, but I am really bummed. These hip flexors and groin muscles have been causing me grief for well over a year now. The last time I hurt it this bad, I was out for two months - even with the chiropractor's help. I hope it's just playing tricks on me and will be better soon :(

But, to get off that, Step Blast was an awesome workout. Had I not broken myself, I'd be doing it again today! Maybe to keep the muscle a little loose, I'll do Leaner Legs lightly with no weights - except the inner thigh part.

I must have been cursed or been really mean in my last life. That's the only thing I can think of :|

I'll let you guys know how I feel tonight!

Sara
 
Good Morning Gals,
Am I always the first one up ????????? You guys are so lazy!;)
Well, I went to workout last night and I managed to muster up enough energy for shou and bic, but I didn't want to do any cardio! I knew it was just like monday where if I did it I knew I would feel better but I gave in:-( I just wasn't in the mood.So,I promised myself that I would get up early today and workout.This is the only time that I have to workout today.I have training from 9-12,work from 1-9 and a babyshower at 8.How can I be at two places the one time?
Tomorrow is no better but I should be able to fit a quickie in around 11.(and another baby shower at 7:30!:eek: )
I am thinking about starting the BFL challenge.I tired it before but only did it for two weeks. My only problem is getting up early and working out.There are days when I work at the airport early and I can't get at 4 to workout.Thats just to nuts.I think I may post and see if anyone wants to join me.
I am DYING to go for a walk.The last couple of days here have been pretty mild....I CANNOT wait for this snow to go! I can't wait for spring to come.Enough is enough! But it is onlt FEB and we have atleast a couple more monthes to go.By the middle of April it should start to melt.
Anyway I should get going,post about the BFL and get working out!
Have a good one,
Lori:)
 
Yup. I'm lazy :D

How much ahead in time are you guys in relation to us? I think Bobbi is in my summer-time Pacific timezone and I am in the winter-time Pacific timezone. Arizona doesn't change their time, do they?

I always wonder, because I've been up around 4 or 5 am once and saw that you had done your morning post already.

Is it difficult for you to get up early and workout, even when you don't have work? I can't do it at all :( And it seems that the more time on my hands that I have, the longer I procrastinate :D

And I hear ya on the snow thing. The last week has been good here, but today it's going downhill again. Hopefully everything is ok for our trip to S.D. My groin muscle is hurting like nobody's business still. My family brought up the point that it may be a nerve, since it sprung up so late after my workout. All I know is that it's excruciating. If I move just wrong, completely uncontrolable shreeks of pain escape my mouth. If I manage to keep myself a certain way, I can walk (carefully) with little pain. Just paranoia.

Hope you guys are doing well :D

Sara
 
I almost said good morning and it's 7:30 PM! AZ is in the Mountain Time Zone and does not change time. We are an hour later than the Pacific Zone. I was up at 5:00 as usual but had to hop off to meet my neice early for yoga! I did Slow Heavy Shoulders yesterday and yoga today and I am still bumming it! I am majorly PMSY but not too homicidal so I am happy! Besides yoga, Tina and I went to lunch and had a facial, which was great. My very short hair was bugging me so I took scissors to my own head and had to go and get it whacked to fix it. It is so short! I like it alot! Tomorrow I am doing Slow Heavy bis and tris and a half an hour of yoga at home. My kids are off until Monday since it's cowboy time in Tucson! I am glad. We can all be bums together!

I will catch you tow tomorrow!

Hi Ladies,
No early rise for me today!But I was up so late.I had one of my Babyshowers last night and when I got home I received a call that I had to go to work.The plane usually comes in at night and goes back out in the morning.We were calling for a snowstorm(which we have:-( )So they started calling all of the guest and wanted to take them last night.The plane came in and left again.It was really busy up there and I didn't get home until 2:30.But that meant that I didn't have to work at 6:30 today:) And now with the snowstorm I am not sure what time I will go to my other job.
I have a little bit of a headache to from lack of sleep.My 7 yr old was up at 7:30.
I am not sure what the workout will be today.Its suppose to be legs but we will see how much energy I have.
Have a good one,
Lori:)
 
Hi ladies :)

Our trip was postponed a day due to crappy weather, but we should be leaving in the morning if things clear up. And guess what else??? The pain in my groin area is totally gone. It was killing me still this morning and then just disappeared. Maybe just a pinched nerve??? Really weird, but I'm thrilled. Hopefully I can get a short workout in before we leave in the morning. We're very slow, so probably not.

Hopefully I'll talk to you guys in a few days!!!

Sara
 
Good Morning,
Finally my week is comming to an end.Two baby parties under my belt. And the eating wasn't as bad as I thought.
And guess what I got back???????? The girl that held the baby shower went to get a video and when she opened up the cupboard I saw circuit max staring back at me.I said,OH I gotta get that one back.Shes had it for a year or more and I don't know if she every tried it.Its been on my mind lately cause I figured I could use it with my runs,soooooooooooo guess what workout I am doing today???:) I think I am going to do leaner legs as well.
My DH just left for his hockey tournament.He was suppose to go away next weekend to and I finally said something to him last night.He is one of those people that if you yell and scream at him,that just makes him what to do something more.I told him that I didn't like the fact that he was going away two weekends in a row, that I didn't think it was a fair and I barely get to see him on the week days and now you are going away for two weekends.I said it in a very calm manor and I just wanted to voice my opinion.I then went back to work and he called me about 30 min later and said that he wasn't going away next weekend.He was going to stay home.:) So he should.He as been gone alot for work lately and then he makes more plans with his friends.
Bobbi-I can't imagine having short hair.It must be a dream though.I have long curly hair and I have to use alot of gel so that it doesn't go frizzy.Then when I workout I have this pony tail on my back,then I start sweating and there is gel on my back and I have to keep wiping it off.Yesterday when I was running on the treadmill pieces of hair were flicking on my face and it was driving me nuts.
Sara-I hope you have a good weekend.It was crappy weather here yesterday to.More snow.I guess spring isn't around the corner yet:-( I am dying to get some fresh air!
Anyway,thats about it for me.I am not sure when I will workout today.I managed to get today off.So I have all day,but I need to do cleaning again to.Does it ever end????????
Lori:)
 
Hi again :) Well, we didn't make it again this morning. The weather is just too treachorous to risk it. So we have to reschedule for next weekend. I was REALLY looking forward to getting away. But I think there is a reason for this. EVERYTHING was stacked against us... to Ray having problems with the brakes last night to waking up this morning to somebody having their trucked parked so that it was completely blocking his car. We wouldn't have been able to get it out until late this afternoon. Also, my mom was just nominated to drive her sister and BIL to Salt Lake for their trip to Italy. The INSIST on leaving at midnight so that they won't have to pay for a hotel room. That's nice and convenient for them, but very very dangerous to my mom - she fatigues very easily and can't see at night. But, as long as they're getting what they want, they don't give a damn. So Ray is going to drive and my mom will drive home in the morning.

Sooooo...... Lori, I actually envy you that you get your weekends free often. I love my DB, but I just need to be alone sometimes. More than sometimes. I am very independent and have always been loner - since a baby. If he had his way, we'd spend every second together, and I just can't do that.

So did you enjoy Circuit Max? I think I'm going to do Step Blast again and maybe PushPull or Supersets. I have just gained too much weight and enough is enough. I'm also loosing all muscle tone.

Have a good night!

Sara
 
I did Supersets!! It was great :D I went to Starbucks to get a cappuccino and felt fantastic enough to work out at 10 p.m. :) I still feel good. It was a fun workout - not supertough, but there will be no dread-factor for me from now on. I can make it tough by increasing weights, so I know I can grow with it.

Bobbi, I hope you come back and join us now. I just wanted to let you know that I've loosely followed recent threads, and I agree with you whole-heartedly. On both of them. You make fantastic points and are very intelligent in the way you articulate... As far as the religion issue, I'm right there with you. When I decided that Christianity was not the right thing for me, my mother cried for months! It was so difficult, and I almost let her guilt me into lying and continuing to worship with her. But I decided it was best to do what I believe is right for me.

I didn't join any of the discussions, because I wasn't sure what to say and how to make my point. But I hope you don't leave us!!

Goodnight, ladies,

Sara
 
Did I miss something? Was that the religion talk ages ago? Or was it something on another thread? Im lost..not the first time:)
I have to work today.Its the first saturday that I have worked in ages.I don't mind to much though.I had yesterday off.
I did do circuit max and a 65 min run.I was planning on doing legs to but it was 6 by then and we were going swimming at 7.Then we picked up a movie and some dinner at 8.(me and my 7 yr old)The movie was called Pieces of April and it wasn't very good.It was suppose to be funny but it seemed like a cheap film.Nothin was colorful,it didn't even seem as good as a movie that would be on t.v. Then by 10 I was dropping,which surprised me b/c I had a nap at 3.Only so much this body can take I guess.
I do enjoy having sometime to myself but it gets a little boring after a while.He went away for a week not long ago,and now he was suppose to be going away for 2 weekends.I find the weekends long when he isn't here b/c we normally do stuff together.SO far so good.Yesterday flew,I have to work all day today and by the time I get home,workout,maybe rent another movie,it will be time for sleep again.
I did get flowers delivered yesterday during circuit max.:) And they were beautiful.I hope they don't die every fast,there aren't to many roses in there so they should last for a while
Anyway,I must get ready and get to work.I had a good nights sleep but I woke up to much and I feel like I have a headache.I can't wait to get out and get my coffee!
I will check back later
Lori:)
