Hi Everybody,
The last 2 days at work have been pretty hectic, but the good news is I only have 2 more days left before my official weekend starts
.
Gayle- The salmon in the whole wheat pita sounds really good. I'm going to incorporate that into my eating plan, I just have to do a little more grocery shopping to stock up. I like the quick prep options, because any major work to get dinner ready is just not going to happen when I get home at night. I'm just to darn tired.... Hope you can walk tomorrow after that workout! BRING ON APRIL, I'M READY!!!!!
ASUDaizy-I love meatloaf!! We had meatloaf a lot when I was growing up, so it's more a comfort food for me. Your option looks much more healthy than my mom's, she had everything but the kitchen sink in hers. Way to go on the 10K training. We have the Crim race where I live in Michigan, and it pulls people from all over the country. My 2 nephews (age 27 and 30) have challenged me to the 10 mile run. I'm up to 7 miles right now, and still have until August to get to 10. My greatest satifaction would be to "whip their butts". I would even have a t-shirt made up that said "I whipped their butts" and put a picture of them on it. Revenge is soooooo sweet with me!!!
Kim-Hey I have an idea
Why don't you, ASUDaizy, Gayle, Belinda, Chrissy and all other runners meet me in August for the Crim. It will give us a goal! It's only about 90+ degrees and 100% humidity in August, but just think how good we'll feel when we are done. Something to think about..... IMAX3 felt hard "TODAY"! That workout feels hard every time I do it. That's one that just never gets any easier for me. YOU GO GIRL.....
Jo-I did CCV8 this morning, and absolutely loved it! It has moved to the head of the class. There are 2 - 8 minute challenges at a level 3 that had me diggin deep, but it's amazing how the coach helps you through the really tough parts. The music was the best, and I felt like I was flying!!! I'm not even going to tell you about the last challenge and the LEVEL 4'S, but I was begging for mercy!! I felt so accomplished when I finished. As you would say, WHOOOHOOO!!!!
Cendrine-I haven't done the HiLo premix from SJP yet. I may have to dig that one out and fire it up this weekend. How fun to have company over for lunch. Do your friends follow your clean eating plan also? It makes it a lot easier if they do. We have a group of friends that get together every Friday at 4:30 and meet at a local pub/restaurant for an early dinner (most of them are retired). The food is your typical greasy burger/fries and the air is so thick with cigarette smoke. There is really nothing healthy on the menu, so I've been opting out quite a bit lately! I really don't want to go and set myself up for a fall...
Maggie-Hope the ankle is feeling better and you can find a doable substitute for your cardio. What an incentive that you are ahead of schedule with your weight loss
. I think the encouragement from this forum is what will help us all get past our sticky point (I think Cathe says that in some of her workouts)
. Enjoy whatever down time comes your way, you deserve it.
Chrissy-So how is your rest week going so far? Are you climbing the walls? I'm with you on the weekend eating. I'm good all week, and then I actually start planning to be not so good as the weekend approaches. My problem is we like to go out on the weekends, or have company over, and that usually means eating and drinking the "not so good things". I guess we just need to keep encouraging each other.
WE CAN DO IT!!!!!
Julie-I think we're on for Disc 8 tomorrow. Are you recharged from Monday's workout? I'm still feeling it in by bi's. I love working the tri's, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow, and the 2nd time through is so much better for me.
Well as you can see, I don't know how to make things brief
.Hope everybody has a great evening and we'll talk soon...
Mary
