BFL for Wed Apr 02nd 2008

Hi girls,

I am done with my BFL LB workout! I am dragging today big times! Maybe I have Italy on my mind already? Not sure if I get my extra cardio in today, I am just to tired! I went up in weight again! Maybe that is whats wrong with me, I am burning myself out on heavy weights? LOL!

After I am done cooking dinner, I will be back for personals!
Have a good one!
Belinda
 
Gayle, I wont let the cat out of the bag! ;)

Melissa, thanks for the recipe! I think I will make it tomorrow! I'm looking forward to hearing that your day is going better!

Heidi, did you get though with #19? I think we were on at the same time! I was dying on the last 2 sprints but looked over and saw you huffing away with that determined look on your face so I made it! Went faster than the last time too!

Belinda, I just told DH where you and your DH are going this weekend and I asked him where he was going to take me and do you know what he said? He said, well I just bought you a tire for your car! DRAT!

Kathy, good morning! When is your last long run? My 10k is next Saturday and I feel pretty good about it! I looked at last year's winners and the top person was 32:51. I ran a 5k at 33:03! YIKES! Enjoy your day off today! You sure deserve it!

Hey, I think there are a couple of us with birthday's in May...care to share your birth date? Mine is May 4...turning the big 40! :7
 
Hi,

Stephanie: Are you done with your workout? I just finished! Wow what fun! I did my abs first. BC warm-up, abs 1-8 and stretch
iTread #19 (jogger) 34min 3mi and 353cal.
Then a good stretch with TBS (Total Body Stretch)#1

Kathy: Nice to change things up once in awhile. Nice job on your workout! LIC is really fun too! :)

Belinda: Don't try to go up in weights too fast! Change up one round and then drop back a bit and then change up again on another week to get used to the new weights. Too much too soon will leave you burned out for sure! I guess you will really be needing this break come this weekend. I hope you relax and enjoy yourself. Don't pressure yourself trying to fit in every workout for this week into a couple days...this is too much. (I have done it and it left be drained for days and unable to come back strong!)

Hi Melissa: So...what is your workout for today? Your chili sounds yummy. :9 I still have some leftover from a couple days ago...I better finish this up for lunch. :D Have a good day!

Hi to Michelle!:+ Hope you are doing well today.

Time for shower and house stuff. BBL Heidi
 
Hi Stephanie!

We made it! Ya...I was determined not to touch that speed button for sure! Great job for both of us! Nice that you went even faster this time around as well.:)

Go Stephanie Go! Your race is this coming Saturday the 5th or the 12th? Have a good one! I bet you can beat that top winner from last year!:)

Thank you Gayle for a great pick! This was a really good workout and the music was great!:7

Off to the shower! Take Care and have a great day everyone! Heidi
 
Hi Stephanie,

Just peeking in...

I guess I must be older and heavier than you...hehe ;-)

I will be there cheering you on during the race!}(

May 4th seems to be a good day! Birthdays here for Belinda and who else? My parents' 40th anniversary is that day this year too! I am seriously considering running a 10 mile race that day in Philadelphia. It's for the American Cancer Society, and what better way for me to celebrate my parents' anniversary and my mom's disease than to run for this cause!

Belinda-be careful. Do not burn yourself out! Seriously, you'll burn out, then try to get back and get frustrated because you feel tired or whatnot. One workout. One day. One day at a time. When do WE WE WE leave for Italy? :)

LOVE that you ladies love the iTreads so much! I'm going to try out one of my new ones tomorrow for my cardio. Not sure which one yet. Then I'll also tack on abs. Any suggestions for abs? I have DOMS today from BC abs x2 (and I dare each of you to do that routine twice) }(

Gayle
 
How neat Belinda! We share a birthday! :7

Gayle, I say go for it! Run that race for sure! How is your Mom doing? What type of cancer does she have? I don't mean to pry! My Mom is a breast cancer survivor.

Heidi, LOL! Older and heavier. hehe
 
My DH's birthday is May 4th. He will be 46. His birthday present every year is renewing our car tags. Poor guy, maybe we'll get him something else this year.

So many posts!!! whew..I think Im caught up. I don't see how you guys remember eveyrthing to respond.I think I'll start keeping notes.
I did a pre-made workout on my treadmill this morning. I was up in the air on what Itread to get, so I started at the top and got 1 and 2. I'll see how I like those then order more.
A
melia, hang in there!! You did an awesome job in not binging!!! I strugle with this myself.

I made it through class and now Im going to enjoy some coffee and do some cleaning before I pick up dd.
Speaking of dd, she is 8...is this a stage or what?? She is very pre-occupied of the thought I will forget to pick her up at school. She even makes me write her a note saying that I love her and that I wont forget to pick her up. I have always been first in line and have never been late, so I dont know where its coming from. She asked me today what if I died while she was at school what would happen. I told her that her daddy would be there to pick up her. I remember having thoughts about my mom dying when I was about that age...poor thing. Its hard growing up isnt it! Melissa, dont you have a daughter about this age??
 
Susan, I open two windows and go back and forth reading each post and post accordingly.

Does your dd have a friend whose parent/grandparent is sick? Maybe she watched a movie or show where the parent forgot to pick up the child? I have 2 boys and they didn't seem to care one way or the other! I hope she starts feeling better soon, poor thing! Give her a hug for me.
 
Stephanie..thats a good idea opening 2 windows..I will do that!

We have no sick friends or relatives..this just seemed to come out of the blue.
 
Hi Susan. Yes, DD is 8. That's too cute that your DD makes you write her a note that you won't forget to pick her up! Their little minds just amaze me.

Seriously, though, we have similar issues lately so maybe it's the age. Right now, she is just questioning everything and really curious about everything, including death and how the world came to be. Some really heavy stuff for an 8 year old, I think. This past October I had to go to France for a week on a business trip. And every time I have to fly I think I'm going to crash and DH and I have to have "the conversation", if you know what I mean. The night before I left, DD was in bed and she called me in for another hug and as we were hugging she turned and whispered in my ear "Don't worry Mom, I'll never forget you." And when I pulled away she had tears in her eyes! AHHHHHHHHH. It still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
 
Amelia - just checking on you girl! How are you doing today? Hopefully your stress level is lower than yesterday and your staying focused.
 
I know, huh?!?!? You can only imagine how much I did not want to get on that plane the next day...pure torture!!! I think that is seared in my memory forever. Last week I wrote about her finding the man of her dreams on eHarmony.com. The conversations are just priceless. My mother told me that I should be writing them all down and putting them in her time capsule. It's probably a good idea!

Okay, while I'm here, I did PUB last night. Not used to the short rest period especially on the biceps. YIKES. Tonight is HIIT. I'm going to have to squeeze it in somewhere since my parents are coming over for dinner. I'm making meatloaf. 1/2 93% lean beef, 1/2 ground turkey...shhhhh don't tell them!!;-) :9
 
Hi Ladies -

Oh my goodness - this will teach me not to wait until the afternoon to post! :) I'm just trying to read everything.

Great idea about opening two windows -- I'll have to do that next time -- I was wondering how all of you were able to do personals so easy!

I had a little extra time this morning so after PLB I "attempted" Power Yoga with Rodney Yee. I know you love him Gayle -- but I have to admit -- just couldn't get into it. And the backbends -- oh my gosh - I decided to keep my back in line and NOT do that section. Actually, I didn't even get through the first section and spent the rest of the time fast forwarding. Oops!! I have to admit, I like Windsor Pilates - so I think I'll stick with that for awhile.

Okay - big hugs to Amelia and Belinda. I hope you are not sick Belinda, especially with the big trip coming up! And Amelia, we all feel the same way sometimes -- that is why we all post!! :) For support!!!

I also have an 8 year old daughter. Now I know what they came up wit the word "precocious" - to describe 8 year old girls!!!
