BFL Friday 6/27

Overslept this a.m. Body must be telling me that I need more sleep, which I'm sure it does. I barely get 7 hours in lately. I need to go to bed earlier. I need cardio, but not sure I'll get it in tonight. Both kids have b-day parties and DH wants to go to Home Depot and get stuff for weekend work (finishing the shower and lot o' yard work).

Big drama was planning DD's b-day party for next week. Looks like it will all work out. She's had planned all along to go see the new American Girl movie since it opens on her real b-day. So it's all set, and she's happy.

I want some protein pancakes, but guess I'll settle for a shake instead. Hope you all have a great day!
 
Morning Sherry and everyone!
Sherry - I remember those party planning days...yikes! Sounds like you have a full agenda this weekend. :)

I took a rest day today. The weather is going to be HOT, HOT, HOT tomorrow so I'll probably do chest/triceps & cardio then I'll do my duathon dry run on Sunday when it's supposed to be alot cooler.

Have a great one,
Kathy
 
Good Morning girls:)

Sorry ive been MIA lately,i thought i had checked in yesterday:-( my internet service had some issues on tuesday evening and it didn't get straighten out unitl yesterday morningx(x(. I have att and boy are they wanting me to switch to somebody elsex(x(

anyhoot,i got MM in the mail yesterday so i will do it this evening,my baby niece is here(snugglebug;-)) right now-up until 3ish! Im trying to talk my DH into watching her for thirty minutes so i can get in a dogwalk(cassiegirl is pacing the back yard as i type,lol) and i will also do a thirty minute powerwalk:)

Girls,please kick me in my butt!!!! My eating has been terrible since tuesday evening:-( i need a good kick...here, im sicking my butt out for everybody. everybody get in line and start kicking;-)

Kathy-its gonna be hot here today too,around 90x(. Enjoy your rest day today,hows the humidity were your at? not tooo bad here,around 30% which makes it a little easier to walk outside!

Sherry-What a fun b-day party planned! Have a wonderful day!

TGIF everybody:)

bbl:)
 
Good morning, ladies.

Sherry-I love kids' BDay parties. We've done all kinds of themes...Star Wars, mini golf, football (I spray painted a football field on the grass in my backyard), eggs (DS' fave Dr. Seuss book was Scrambled Eggs Super so we had an 'egge' party, lol), pumpkin, etc. Sounds like YOUR party will be fun too!

Kathy-enjoy your rest day. The light at the end of the tunnel, right? Dry run! Good luck! I peeked at the forecast last night and YIKES on those temps we're getting.

I just got done with my UB workout. I chose PUB and at the end, I tacked on one more exercise for each body part to MAX out....shoulder presses, one-arm DB rows, travelling push ups. I don't know what it is ladies, but I've been CRAVING heavy HEAVY weight work lately.

Today's plan. Kids to Rec Program, while I cut the grass (again, ugh). After I pick them up, older DS has baseball practice while younger DS is going to a friend's house to swim. While they're doing that, I'm meeting my friend (whose mom just passed away) for lunch at Applebee's (my idea, to stay with clean eating). Then a quiet late afternoon. THEN...THEN....ADULT DATE NIGHT! Dave and I are going to a local comedy club tonight with a few other couples in my neighborhood. I'm SOOOOOOOO excited. I need my adult time right now. With the kids home and all 3 of us together at every moment, we're already getting on each others' nerves. lol

What are YOUR weekend plans???
Tomorrow, I will be able to post in the morning and that's it! I'm planning CCPP tomorrow with the gang. Then we leave for DS' baseball tournament. It's about 75 minutes away. Then when we get home tomorrow around dinner time, our neighborhood has an annual adult softball game and party. So we'll be busy from the time we leave tomorrow morning to the time we return after that game/party. Then Sunday depends on how we do at Sat's game. So that's still up in the air, although I DO know Sunday will be a much-deserved rest day! lol

Good Morning,

Today is a semi rest day. My DD has a tennis match this morning so no workout until later. I will just walk or bike ride and then do Stretch Max. I swear my legs look and feel toner from the B&G floorwork from yesterday. Maybe it's my imagination, but Cathe always says to mix things up for better results.

Be back for personals later
 
Hello and Good Morning,

Hi to you all,

A quick post for me....work,housecleaning,shopping and so forth.

Carolyn and Kathy: Enjoy your rest day!

Gayle: Great job on PUB! I hope you get some DOMS! }( I am really feeling that Power Hour this morning! Weird it takes a day before I really get them! I am laughing tryig to staighten my arms out. My bi's and tri's are really tight. :eek:

Sherry: Enjoy your parties! My DS's (now 23) birthday is today. Not sure if I will get to see him however. He has a managers position at a local restaurant and it will be busy with all the activities going on in town this weekend.

Amelia: I hope that you were able to get in your walk with your pup.;-)

Hello Belinda: Nice stretch out yesterday! I could do with some today! Which ab workout are you doing? Have a good workout!

I didn't get in my run yesterday. So I am off to do it right now! I can't even think about lifting (legs or upper for that matter)right now.

BBL Heidi
 
Good morning ladies!!

I am feeling great today! DD had a friend sleep over last night at the last minute (kinda put me on the spot), so I thought my workout plans were doomed. I must have REALLY wanted to get that workout in. I ended up vacuuming my puzzle mats, putting down a spare comforter and their pillows, brought down snacks and a movie and they laid on the floor watching Madagascar while I wheeled my bike over to the this teeny tiny space on DH's side of the basement and cranked out CCV5!! I was literally wedged between a grinder and an air compressor. Once I got going, I got in the zone and was completely unaware of my surroundings!! When I was done, the kids were still laying on the floor watching the movie. Everyone was happy, including ME!!!:7 :7 :7

Sherry - planning bday parties is always a love/hate thing with me! I hope DD has a great time at her party. And try to get some extra sleep, sounds like you need it..;-)

Kathy - enjoy your rest day!

Amelia - DID YOU FEEL THAT?!?! That was me giving you a good swift one!!

Gayle - YOU ARE AN ANIMAL...in a good way of course!!! Tacking on to PUB...PURE CRAZINESS!!! Have fun on your date tonight.

Carolyn - it's not your imagination, your legs do look toner!! :7

Belinda - HELLO!!!

Legs are still screaming from B&G on Wednesday night. CCV5 probably didn't help much last night!

Plans for this weekend: CCPP plus Challenge 3 V8 tomorrow morning. See you there, Gayle! I've never done PP before let along tack on any extra. I just might be the one kibbying on the floor at the end. Don't trip over me!! Then nothing until Sunday afternoon when DD has a bday party to go to at a local hair salon. Should be fun!

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Hi,

Checking back with my run finished. iTread #11 40min. This one is a great moderate endurance run with a few hills up to 6%.
I also did my abs: CoreMax medicine ball only #3. Feel good and ready to take on the day.

Melissa: You are funny! Great job (squeezing) in your bike ride. ;-)
I hope that your DD has fun with the birthday party at the hair salon. Are they doing everyones hair?

My DH wants to take me out to dinner tonight. Only Me! This will be a treat. ;-) Now...where to go? I will leave it up to him to pick the place.
Saturday will be the usual house/yard stuff if it is not raining. I hope to get to see my son at somepoint for his BD.
Sunday is an outing with my Mom. She called me and wants to go to Linen's N Things to use up a gift card she received from her boyfriend. ;-) I guess the business is going out. Too bad I liked that store. Maybe we can find some great bargins. I am in need of some new dish/kitchen towels.

I hope that you all have a great weekend!

Amelia: I too am sending a swift kick to you and myself! (If I can kick that high ;) ) I had a beer with DH yesterday and woke with a headache...I should know better!

sorry this was short:-(
 
Hi Amelia,

Great job!!!:)

I am just back from taking my DS out for lunch with his girlfriend.
I also took him to get a new cell phone for his birthday. It was nice to be able to see him on his actual BD this time around.
He will be coming over tomorrow evening to spend time with the rest of the family.

We will be attending the St. Peter's Fiesta events tomorrow afternoon as well. Seine Boat races and the Greasy Pole contest. My DS's friend is once again doing this event. His older brother has one in the past 4 years in a row. Maybe he has learned a trick or two from him... ;-) We'll see how he does this year.

ETA: Oh...for those that don't know what a Seine boat is...it is a fishing dory and holds about 6-8 rowers.

Dinner is still on for DH and I this evening. I know that I will not be ordering any drinks for myself. I have to keep it clean as much as I can the next week or so. This is my goal anyway.

Belinda: How did your ab workout go?:)

Have a great evening and weekend!

BBT Heidi

Reporting in: PUB done! Even tried to do the abs, but my arms were shaking something awful on the planks. DH joined in, too. It's fun to have him also talk back to Cathe. He thought I was nuts until he tried tried her workouts.

It's the two of us for dinner, and all I want right now is a berry smoothie - not very romantic, huh? Maybe we'll just go for dessert.

Have a great evening and see you all in the morning.
