Should I have made it march month? Well,I guess we can always change it tomorrow if we want.
How was everyones weekend? MIne went by pretty quickly considering that DH was gone all weekend.I worked yesterday so that made yesterday go by pretty quick.And we just watched episodes of Will and Grace last night,plus a movie.The last two nights I woke up alot.Always checking the clock.I don't know why,I didn't have anywhere to go today.If I hadn't woke up so many times I would have had a wonderful sleep.
I found out yesterday that my brother as his date set for his wedding.It sort of makes me want to whip myself into the best shape possible so that when I see the pitcures I can be like...wow:eek: Thats me from behind:) I know I am just to hard on myself! But when my sister-in-law got married I knew I had a weight on b/c when I went for my dress fitting I took a 5,then when I went back to actually get the dress I needed a 7! And 3 yrs before that when my sister got married I took a 3.Needless to say that I loved myself in my sisters pitcures.But when I saw pitcures from my sister in laws wedding I was like..."is my bum really like that"(I use the work bum just for you Bobbi:) )He is not getting married until Oct 9,so I have plenty of time to lose and gain,lose and gain!Anyway,I don't know what I am going thru these days but I am sure you are tired of listening to me.
I didn't workout yesterday.I went to my in laws for dinner and they had soup and rolls.Which wasn't a bad meal but I felt SSSSOOOOOOOOO bloated after and stuffed.So my plan for today is a total body workout and cardio.I was suppose to do total body yesterday.
DH should be home shortly after lunch so I want to be finished working out by then.Thats when he said he would be home.He is usually late with everything that he does.He is one of those that aren't realistic with his times or the things that he can do.He thinks that he is superman.
Sara-Hopefully you will get to go on your trip this weekend.Now you have something to look forward to.Is your sister and her DH still there?Hows that go'in?
Bobbi- I wonder, are you in church? Are you starting your new rotation soon or have you already started? Did you notice any change after lifting heavy?
Anyway,I should go and get ready to workout.
Lori:)
 
Nope! Back in the Game is still working for me. I took off half of last week after tweaking my wrist. A little too much down dogging perhaps? That sucker ached like the dickens!

I'm cleaning today since we had a house full yesterday and I finally quit trying to stay on top of their messes and watched Chicago on Starz instead. I'm starting an Intensity Series mini-rotatin tomorrow since when the IS came out I was limping to PT, trying to get my foot back on track and I have really only done ME on a regular basis. I think IS is perfect for the second phase of my plan! I just need to be careful with he cardio until next week when I see my doc. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to need to be faithful about wearing my orthotics and not over-doing it.

The heavy lifting was awesome! I can't beleive I kept with it four 4 months. I am never going to have huge muscles but I am lean and defined and very strong! Slow & Heavy is my favorite, followed by PLB/PUB. I can get 65 pounds up for squats and could work that weight very comfortably. I must say I am ready for a break and to use lighter weights for awhile! Time to wake Sam. I'll catch you later!
 
HI Bobbi
I didn't get to checkin in the a.m b/c DH had a time limit put on the computer.His office is in our house and thats the computer I use.He had work to do and he had a conference call at 9 so I had to get in and out as fast as I could:) I bet you thought that I had a meany for a hubby for a minure...didn't you? No hes not like that...he was lucky that I actually listened to him:7
Today as been a pretty good day.I am still mind boggled by last years tax session and I am ready to give in and pay it.DH won't let me and he is going to get to the bottom of the matter.I owe H&R Block $1001.78.They lost one of my reciepts but they went ahead and claimed it anyway,now the government won't give them their money and I won't give them their money.(It is their fault and I think we will be taking legal action if nessacary)
Other then that bulls&*t, I just finished my workout.I did 1/2 of BC and a 60 min run.I am going to do abs later.I wanted to go for a run outside but the lady I run with didn't have a babysitter so we are planning to go out tomorrow morning.I am dying for some fresh air.
What have you got up your sleeve anyway? What kinda workouts are you planning????Details...
Anyway.thats it for me.I will check back again later,
Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies,
Thats to bad your post didn't post.When I saw that you had posted I got excited b/c you always give me good ones to read when I get up on the morning.That as happened to me lots of times.
No babies for me again this month(although we didn't really try nor am I positive that I want a baby)In other words I am not really disapponited.My daughter will be 8 in a few days and I can't imagine starting over.Although I think that if I were to get pregnate I would be very excited and so would DH.Prehaps I have just come to terms with the fact that it will be harder for us to conceive and prehaps there is a part of me that thinks it will never happen.Its a good thing to b/c I wouldn't want to live eceryday with my fingers crossed and buying test after test.
Anyway,I went off of the pill 2 1/2 yrs ago and I swear every month I am having more signs that my period is going to start.I was moody this last weekend and I have a really bad belly today and I never get a bad stomach.I hope my periods don't get as bad as they were 10 yrs ago;(
I am planning a run outside today:) I am dying for some nice clean air.The air that is comming from the clothes dryer in the laundry room ain't cutt'in it anymore;) It is cold out but shiny and the roads are pretty clear.I am wondering how I will do b/c I have't been outside in a while.I think running outdoors and running on a treadmill is totally different.I have diffently increased my endurance since using the treadmill and I have done a few interval workouts but I haven't done any hills or talked while I ran in a while.
Anyway,how is everyone else doing? How is the nre rotation Bobbi? Today is also chest and back for me, but my back is sore from BC yesterday. I think I will do some sort of weight work tonight.And I will do abs when I am finished my run.
Chat to you later,
Lori:)
 
Hey Lori :) I'm so glad that you enjoy my messages!! It makes my rambling worthwhile :D

I have totally forgotten what I wrote yesterday, actually :(

I have been exercising pretty consistenly this week. I did SuperSets for the first time. It's not supertough, but it's fun. It CAN BE supertough if you you life heavy enough, and that's great. But if you don't feel like killing yourself, it's so fun! Not an ounce of dread on that one.

I did have to make the comment that my DB is just like your hubby. It's hilariuos how much alike they are. He couldn't be on time if I told him I had a million bucks waiting for him at home. He has no concern for others waiting on him, or me wanting to move on. The ONLY thing that will make him haul butts is going to get a frappuccino when the coffee shop is about to close. But that's it - really. It is one of the worst things about him, and nothing changes :( This morning he had to take me to the school because I didn't have my car. I made the comment that I only had 5 minutes before I needed to be there, so we needed to leave now. He pays no attention to me, starts looking at a map on a wall, and starts lecturing me about the certain populated areas in Greenland and how populated Iceland has become. COME ON!!!!! He does this everytime. It's like every fiber of his body resists being on time at every moment. I just wish he'd have more respect when it comes to me and my job.

Today was pretty rotten, too. My sister and her husband are moving out next week - they're moving to Minnesota (VERY far away). Ray and I are leaving in just a few weeks, and it's starting to hit my mom. She is a mess, and she starts out by fighting with me for an hour and then breaking down for an hour. I had to try so hard not to break down myself, but she seems to think that we don't care about her. No matter how much I tell her that it's difficult for us, too, she doesn't believe it. The fact that I decided to stay home for an extra 3 months to spend time with them makes no difference. It's very hurtful to think they feel that way when it's such a huge contrast to how I really feel. No amount of telling, hugging, crying makes any impact on that. Maybe she's just trying to make me feel better - or maybe it makes her feel better thinking that??? Who knows!!!???? Geez.

ANYWAY, Bobbi, I think your rotation will be great. I LOVE endurance weight workouts, because it gives more of an immediate gratification. It's slightly aerobic and gives me much more of an endorphin rush. Besides, when I lift heavy, my muscles feed me very wrong information. I always feel like I'm not working very hard, and then suddenly, two days later, I'm paralyzed :|

I have to run suddenly! Time to go eat :) I'll check in later!

Hi Gals,
Oh by the way...Bobbi,I love reading your post to.Just seems like I never get bored with you two:)
Nice to hear from you Sara.I know what you mean about the "late" thing to.My DH is late for everything he goes to and he always as to much on his plate.Instead of saying he can't do something,he will say I'll do it right now.Not to me,but to other people.I know just as well as he does that it ain't getting done.And when he is on his way to do something,he has to talk to a million people ,instead if saying,"I'm in a hurry right now,but I'll call you later" .I don't understand either.It just seems so much easier to me.
My mom use to have days when I was wondering..what in God's name is she talking about? Why is she acting this way? Even now she says things that are over my head.I guess your mom is going through a hard time right now.As hard as it is for her to have 5 people living in her house,its probably going to be even harder when everyone leaves.Empty nest syndrome!
Well,my run outside today was awesome.It was the route that we always do.But there are days when I just CAN"T make that hill.Or if I do make that hill,I have to walk for a little bit after.Not today...I ran the hills and I didn't stop.It was funny b/c there are days when we run right to my door.And it is normally her pushing me.But today we were on my street and she says "o.k lets cool down now".I thought we were gonna keep running but I think she needed a break before I did.:) It was nice for a change.
After my run I didn't feel to well.It was actually an hour after.I don't know if it was that TOM again,or I needed some fluids.I don't think I drank what I lost on that run.I felt tired,cold, and I had a headache.When I got home from work I took two pills,ate and then had a little nap.DH is gone to hockey so I thought about doing SS or PP.Only b/c you posted about it in your post but now that I am sat down I am feeling lazy again.Perhaps I will save it for tomorrow.
Anyway, I should get go'in.I will check in in the morning.
Lori:)
 
Good Morning Everyone,
I know I posted last night but I have to get this thing going in the morning to.
After I posted last night I decided to go to bed and read.I read for about 30 min and I fell asleep quit quickly.I hate lying in bed tossing and turning.:eek:
I am not sure what the workout is going to be today.I am going to do upper body(like I was suppose to do yesterday) but I am not sure which video.I checked out the cksales website yesterday.Its the only place I know that you can buy workouts in canada,well,good workouts,like cathe.:) I am thinking about ordering the TS and a yoga or pilates DVD.I need to get more stretching in.
My inner thighs are sore from yesterdays run.Weird hey? Prehaps it was b/c I was on the pavement.I may just do step today.
I also went to bed hungry last night.I need to stop my night time munching.I think there are days when I can eat more in the evening then what I have eaten all day.And I was bored last night so I really had to watch it.It will take about a week for me to get use to not eating in the night time but it will be worth it.I hate going to bed hungry but it is the only way I will see results.
Anyway,check in and let me know what you gals are doing or not doing today.
Lori:)
 
Now I have no idea where to begin but I do know it will have to be later because we are out of cat food and I have two hungry creatures willing me to go get some.

What I really want to know is, who stole our sunshine? These gray days make me unenergetic and it's supposed to rain through Friday! Sunday is supposed to be sunny and 89! That's a bit extreme when we've been doing the forties so much lately. I will be happy to see the sun.

Later!

Well, let me know if you find out who stole your sunshine b/c I think he may have taken ours to;( I am not sure what it is doing outside there now.It looks sort of like wet snow,or it could be just rain.It wouldn't be so bad if it were rain b/c it could take some of this snow away.
I am trying to decide how I will fit my workouts in today.I am so excited b/c I have a massage appt at 9:45 (50 min away).And I am finished at 10:45.That leaves me with 1 hour to workout before I go to work.I also had planned on doing legs.Part of me wants to fit in whatever I can now before I go and another part of me wants to wait.She is going to do such a good job getting the knots out of my back and neck,then I will turn around and put a barbell on my shoulders again.Just doesn't seem right.
Eating as been pretty good the last few days,until last night.I went to work and theres always a pile of candy around.Now both were the low fat kind(if that helps)twizzlers and peppermint patties.Lets just say that I don't care to see a twizzler again.I am glad Im not working anymore until Tuesday morning.Hopefully someone else will have had there fill by then.
I did step blast,ps shoul,bic,tri and abs yesterday.I am not sore today:-( I like it when I am sore.I don't remember doing those abs before but they were tough.I didn't find step blast that hard either.I think I have really built my endurnace in the last 3 monthes.I really enjoyed the workout though.It was fun.I love the music.
Anyway,I will check back later when I get a chance,
Lori:)
 
It's raining again today! LOL! I took Sam to school and everything was backed up and crazy. You'd think we'd never seen rain before! Supposed to be sunny and warm on the weekend and, on the bright side, I refuse to mop the tile when the kids are going to track in the wet stuff.

Don't fret about those twizzlers. Twizzlers happen! I just had an interlude with Thin Mints that was not pretty! I am hitting Cardio and Weights this morning.

I had one of those nights where I watched the hours tick by and something spooked Sam so he joined us at three and the guys made a sandwich out of me! No "clocks" were seen!

A massage sounds delicious. Enjoy that and have a wonderful day!
