Goodmorning Ladies,

I wanted to get an early start since I have not been posting as much. I have just been so busy and tired at the same time. I never got to legs and back last week and that was story for the rest of the week too. I think the nice weather has had with the kids out and about. We went to the zoo on Friday and I had my dd out most of the weekend. It was soooo nice. I can't believe our weather.

So this week is last week. I am not going to count last week in my 90 day rotation since I only did 3 days of the X. On a positive note DH thanked me for making him do P90x since he can fit into a pair of ugly wrangler jeans with his cowboy boots. :rolleyes: I definitely didn't fall in love with him for the way he dressed.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day, I will check in later hopefully.
 
Happy Monday!

Dani, you're right, this weather has just been too good! My weekend was a busy one but I got a lot of house work accomplished. Closets cleaned, carpets cleaned,gave the dog a bath, etc... My workouts were my walks though. I promised myself this week I have to do better at scheduling in my exercise!! Today I will be mowng the lawn and then getting on the elliptical for 30mn.

The last time I heard from DH in Wyoming, he was stuck in a snow storm. Where they were headed they had 6-10 inches and the upper elevations had 16-18"! I did not hear from him yesterday so I hope they were able to get to their final destination! Here we are sunny and 80 and he's feezing in the snow! Wacky weather!!:eek:

I'll check back later- Susan

Hi Laurie!
Hi Sue!
Hi Karen!
Hi Lala!
 
Morning BB's,

Todays workout was an easy 2 mile run, P90X Chest & Back (first half) and Ab Ripper 200. This whole thing came out to an hour workout. :) I'm looking at doing the P90X workouts, but only halfsies.

Yesterday i spent some of my time looking for bugs for DD15's biology class. She is suppose to get 25 bugs, we where only able to find 10. She has until Wednesday to find the other 15. :p It was really funny to see DD15 running away from the bugs screaming! LOL :eek:

Dani, You will have to get your DH a new pair of Wrangler jeans, because believe it or not they make some that look good now! Those are the ones that fit DH the best. :D Wonder how I can get my DH into working out with me. He actually talked about it on Sunday! :rolleyes:

Susan, Sounds like you had one busy weekend just doing house hold chores! I cleaned up my kitchen, did some laundry and of course the bug catching. I did manage to get out of the house for some retail therapy, and found some really cute shoes! :D

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Dani - No one can blame you for getting out and enjoying this GORGEOUS weather we've had lately instead of working out. There will be plenty of cold, dreary, snowy days coming soon enough for working out inside. LOL on your comment about not marrying DH for the way he dressed. I didn't marry my DH for the way he dressed either. Or the car he drove or his corny jokes (I could go on). :D

Susan - You should find a way to bottle up that energy you have and sell it! You get so much activity that I wouldn't worry about not getting all your workouts in. Wow! Wyoming really got hit with snow. Hope your DH was prepared (jacket, boots, etc.) Nothing worse than getting caught by the weather and not having the essentials.

Laurie - I have lots of ladybugs at my house if your DD wants them! ha ha Something tells me you have plenty yourself. ;)

Karen - How was your visit to Waukesha?

Hi Lala!

Got in a couple of good workouts over the weekend so pretty proud of that. Did Cardio Kicks Friday night and HSC yesterday. On Saturday I did a 20 min. body sculpting dvd that came with the Firm sculpting stick. I've always wanted a body bar and I used a gift card to get this one. Also went for a walk on Saturday and that's all the time I had for working out since DS had his football game and I was running around getting ready for DD's party. Nothing yet today. Slept in (tired). Hope to go for a walk or walk/jog tonight.

DS's football team won AGAIN making them 6 & 0. Saturday is their last game. It would be sweet to end the season undefeated. DD had a good 13 1/2 birthday party at Adventure Rock on Saturday. She invited boys and girls and the girls were invited to sleep over. On Friday DD told us none of the girls could sleep over because they had to get up early the next day and then 2 of them showed up Saturday night with sleeping bags in tow. I had to do some quick cleaning and decluttering when we got back Saturday night so they'd have a place to sleep! They only stayed up until 11:30 so DD wasn't too tired yesterday. I was though. That's WAY past my bedtime - even on a weekend.
 
I got Core Syner. done as soon as I got home from work today. My DH on the other hand slept. Oh well, I have to say it was nice only pausing for my daughter since she had to go potty. I think he is done, it was nice while it lasted. He might join some more but we will see.

Laurie he has a certain kind of wranglers he wants. They have to be cowboy cut slim fit. Yikes When he was younger he bullrided too. He has the huge buckle which I could use as a cheese platter. It is funny and it is funny he thinks he looks good wearing this stuff. I shouldn't say he looks bad just he really stands out. Good luck on finding those bugs, we found a live cicada the other day. I usually only find the shells of those.

Susan sounds like cleaning was in the air. I did alot of that this weekend. I can't believe all the snow your hubby is dealing with. WOW!! I hope he did make his destination.

Sue it sounds like you had a nice weekend too. Congrats on your DS!! Way to go team. Now only if the Badgers had played like that. Stinkin' Penn State.

Hi LaLa
Hi Karen
 
Good evening! Have to agree with you all about the weather. Sat I did Bootcamp and then spent lots of time raking, Sunday, too...my elbow didn´t like it so much! Today was Imax 2. Tomorrow GS BSB.

Susan, can´t believe the snow!! So glad we´re in Wisc!
Sue, sounds like you got some good workouts in. And more high fives to DS!
Laurie, I, too, would like to get rid of the ladybugs. I´m guessing that one of those was the first one that you and DD got.
Dani, after time off, it´s good to get back, isn´t it? And sometimes we just have to go with the flow! My DH said maybe he´d go on a bikeride with me yesterday...never happened :(
Hi Karen!

The chaperoning the homecoming was pretty much what I expected. It´ll probably be a couple of more years before I say yes!

Have a good week.
 
Morning BB's,

Went to get a mamogram done this morning at 7am, so no workout for me yet. I'm so glad that I keep deoderant in my desk drawer! :eek: Don't know if I'm going to be able to get my workout in today, since I have a hair appointment tonight too. :( Might just be doing the PlyoX workout before I go to bed tonight! :rolleyes:

Sue, Congrats to DS for another win, I to hope they win their last game. LOL about the ladybugs, yes we have our fill of those lovely things. And the box elder beetle also! :D

Dani, Had to LOL at the belt buckle as big as a cheese platter! I have always wondered what possesed someone to hop on a bucking horse or bull! But I find myself watching on TV when I get the chance. LOL! :D WTG getting CS done!

Lala, One of the very first bugs she got was the ladybug. I think the dang thing flew right into the container. I had one of those things bite me, and all I was doing was walking. :mad: They are just nasty! :mad: LOL about the chaperoning! :eek:

Karen, How was the wedding and the trip to our neck of WI?

Susan, Did you hear from you DH? Did he get through all that snow?

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Hello there!

This morning I woke up extra early to walk Ruby and then jump on the elliptical. DS has Tae Kwon Do at 6pm, and before that I have errands to run and homework to help with! I would like to do something extra after I get them off to bed...

Nope, I have not heard from DH since Saturday and its starting to irritate me. I am assuming that since they are up in the mountains they are not able to get a signal out! At least that better be the reason! ;) Hope he calls tonight!

Laurie, I need to schedule a mammorgram soon. I turn 41 in January and I think my Dr. told to get one at my last check-up.... Oops.:eek:

Dani, I had to chuckle at the belt buckle cause there are 2 boys in our High School that wear the exact same thing! They have Wranglers, boots and a huge belt buckle!:D

Karen, hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Lala! You are doing some good workouts!

Hi Sue, how is your week goin'??

Check-in later- Susan
 
Morning Ladies,

Today is chest,arms and shoulders. Yesterday I did cardio x. DH did 2 workouts so he caught up with me. He was actually was kinda funny about it since he did core syn in the morning and then took a shower so I wouldn't know. Cracks me up. He read my post on here and said so you think I am quitting.(He wasn't mad just suprised.) I am glad he is not quitting.

I will check back later it is just easier to post from work. ;)
 
Hi!

Dani, glad to hear he's hanging in there with you!:D

Today is such a dreary day! Walked 35mn in the rain this morning. After school I will be doing Extreme Heart Rate Intervals on the elliptical followed by Pilates Advanced Slimming.

DH finally called and said they have not seen any elk yet! They are hoping today will be a good day. He won't be home until late Sunday or early Monday. He said it was 10 degrees yesterday morning! YIKES!:eek: I am not ready for that weather! He said he cannot get a signal in the mountains so it'll be a couple days beofre he calls again!

Hope you all have a good day!

Stay strong- Susan
 
Morning BB's,

Todays workout was 5 miles of speedwork. Didn't get the Plyo workout in last night, so I think the running makes up for that. After work tonight I would like to do P90X Shoulders & Arms halfsies and some ab work.

Susan, I was suppose to have a mammo at my last appt too, but the machine wasn't working at the time. And I just never got around to it. Glad to hear that your DH is not stranded in the snow! Have to wonder if the elk are walking around with all the snow on the ground, and of course the cold weather.

Dani, Hey whatever motivates the DH to get his workout in thats all right in my book. At least your DH is working out! I forced my DH to walk the dog this morning, because he woke me up at 4am, and I couldn't get back to sleep! :eek:

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Hi, guys!

Laurie - 5 miles of speedwork sounds grueling. :eek: Are you getting faster? :)

Susan - Glad to hear DH is okay. It's dreary around here, too. Outside AND inside (because of the project from hell). Did your BIL ever finish your doors?

Dani - That's funny about your DH reading your post about quitting and doing 2 workouts. Good for him.

Karen? Where are you? Hope all is okay.

Lala - I forgot to ask about Homecoming. My hat's off to you. I don't think I'd ever volunteer for that job.

Did PUB yesterday (chest, back and shoulders in a.m. and tris, bis and abs in p.m.). Probably not the best way to do it but that was the only way to squeeze it in. This morning I did Cardio & Weights cardio.
 
Today I did a 25 min run after school. Woke up this am and the rain just put me back to sleep!

Dani, good for DH! mine just started on the OOOLLLDDDD exercise bike we have. He gets it out in the am and cranks up the TV, so we all hear him! I´m glad he´s beginining to take care of himself.

Sue, I think doing PUB that way is fine...and you can probably lift more in the pm after the rest (Ha ha).

Susan, hope DH got his elk AND that he doesn´t bring the 10 degree weather home with him!

Laurie, I think 5 miles of speedwork makes up for ANYTHING
!!!

Hi Karen

Off to a hot bath!
 
Morning Everyone,

I hope everyone has a great day. Mine started with a sore throat that I am hoping to lose by the end of the day. Grrrr :mad: I don't know why we all get sick around this time of year. I have a correction for yesterday it was Chest, shoulders and tris. And who thinks of plyo pushups. Yikes :eek:

Laurie 5 miles of speedwork, wow. Way to go. That is impressive. And I am happy dh is working out. It is nice and we are so competitive it is funny.

Susan I am happy to hear that your dh is alright. Stinks that he hasn't seen any elk yet. Hopefully.

Everyone else hope get a great workout in. Mine is yoga x today.
 
Hello there!:D

Brrrr.... it sure was chilly walking this morning! Made me walk a bit faster though! Today will be a busy day so I don't know yet what I'll squeeze in! Sure is tough with DH gone and having to do all the running here and there and everything in between! Then when I go down and see my workout area, I just get really grumpy!:mad: No, my BIL is not coming back to put the doors up until after my DH gets home I guess. He left a mess down there and I really need to find time to vacuum and clean up. Hope to hear good news from DH today...

Dani, I hope your sore throat goes away as quickly as it came!

Lala, ah, a hot bath sounds really nice......

Sue, I like the way you are getting those workouts in any way you can!

Laurie, 5 miles? Yeah, that more than made up for it!

Hi Karen!

Have a great day- Susan;)
 
Morning BB's,

Todays workout was the first hour of YogaX, and I'm hoping to get in the last 1/2 hour after work today.

Sue, However you can get your workout in is just fine. :D I love Cardio & Weights, that is just one fun workout. ;) I'm trying to get my speeds up for my runs, but I am taking it much slower that I have in the past. :rolleyes: But I think it has help, because I can make it through those fast intervals. One thing that I have been doing when I get to the point of wanting to shut the TM down, and you may all find this funny, I think of Jillian Michael's. I picture her yelling at me to keep going for another 400...200..10 meters. LOL! :eek: :D I figure whatever works right! LOL :eek:

Lala, Oh the way you said OOOLLLDDDD exercise bike, I'm thinking that everyone in the house has this relief once the bike stops! LOL :D

Dani, Hope you where able to say bye bye to that sore throat! ;) Of course Tony has a warped mind on most of the exercises he thinks up! But I have to say plyo push-ups are quite a challenge. :eek:

Susan, Oh yes it was a chilly one this morning. I should have worn gloves this morning for my walk! Took a while to thaw out! :D I have to vacuum out my workout area, but mine is from the dang bugs that have migrated there! LOL! :rolleyes:

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Everyone must be busy busy busy today. Well I know I am. Taking a little time during my lunch to chat.

Todays workout is BBS Timesaver #5 which is the leg workout. :D

Hope you all have a great weekend. I'm singing at a funeral for church tonight, and then tomorrow DD15 has her conference meet. As soon as she is done running we head down to Chicago for the wedding. We are staying the night, so will be back on Sunday.

Have a great weekend,

Laurie
 
Have fun Laurie! Take lots of pictures so we can see you in that pretty dress! ;)

I will be doing my elliptical (sports training program) for 40mn and then something else but don't know what! Am anxious for DH to get back home! Tired of being a "single parent"! Hope he's home on Sunday. I have not heard from him lately so I have no idea when he'll be back!

We have a Halloween party to go to tomorrow and my son has a flag football game. Sunday should be quiet...

Check in later- Susan
 
Just wanted to say hi!! My sore throat never went away and on Thurs. I ended up cutting my finger and had to go down to the E.R. Small cut not a big deal, but still had to get checked out since it wouldn't stop bleeding.
Today I woke up feeling horrible so I called off. Lots of laying around. I hope this goes away soon.
I hope everyone else feels better than I do and has a great weekend.
 
Laurie - Have fun at the wedding! Good luck to DD at her conference meet tomorrow. :)

Susan - Hope your Sunday IS quiet and DH is home soon to relieve your single parentness. Good luck to DS at his flag football game. :)

Dani - Ow! on cutting your finger. At least it won't affect your P90X workouts. ;) Hope you get over that sore throat soon. You don't want DH getting ahead of you on your workouts now. ;) :D

Hi, Karen and Lala! :) Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Slept in this morning so getting ready to do PLB in a little bit. After that I think I'll veg out on the coach and get to bed early. DD has babysitter training tomorrow. I always meant to sign her up but always missed it until now. DS has his last football game tomorrow ("Let's Go, West!") and a birthday party tomorrow night. My sister from Colorado is home visiting so hope to see her on Sunday. Other than that I just want to get as much sleep as possible. Oh, and workout, too. :p
