BUFF BADGERS 6/23 - 6/27

[lvnascar]

Morning BB's,

Today was a good 6m Run. Was it just me or was it really humid this morning. I was putting on my make-up this morning, and sweating. And that was after my shower, so not a good start to my day today! My DD15 said is must be a hot flash! I just gave her a dirty look. :7 :7 Don't think I'm suffering from that yet.

The DD's and I went to Olive Garden after church yesterday. I had a gift card, and didn't feel like cooking last night. We had a great time talking and eating. Might just make this a ritual for our Thursday evenings, the girls thought it would be fun too.

Karen, Sorry to hear that the running career is not happening. Has you hip been giving you problems? But you have the spinning and tandem bike to have some fun with. Boy that is a very good question you asked, because there are so many things that I would like to do myself. Hmmmmm Susans really does sound nice and fun. I'm voting for lying at the pool, and having someone else tell me when it was time to eat, have a massage, pedicure, manicure etc. And then have the hosts from What Not to Wear take me around, and buy me a whole new wardrobe. :7 :7

Susan, You really do like that Bootcamp workout, can't blame you though because it really is a good one. That get away you have planned sounds like a great time. So how many walking lunges are you up to? Have you been using weights while doing them?

Sue, Dang on the bb game, I was so hoping that they would win. But sounds like the have improved in the hitting department. Hope your DS has a great time up north. Congrats to you DD for the win too! How did the Dojo go last night?

Have a great day!

Susan - I think it's just plain lack of experience for a lot of coaches that makes them play kids so hard. Either that or they just want to win so bad they let it cloud their judgement.

Karen - I had a hard time sleeping last night, too, which is probably why I'm so tired. It's just too sticky (humid) in our bedroom even though we have central air. The upper level where our bedroom is, is always warmer than the lower level. I was too lazy to get up and plug in my little fan so it's my own fault. Not sure where "up north" DS is going. DH is coordinating it with the other parents. They have a boat so DS will have a good time. Hope he remembers to put on suntan lotion. It's so hard to find a good, balanced weight workout, isn't it? Even with some Cathe workouts, my shoulders might feel really worked out but my back seems hardly worked out at all. Your legs are just too darn strong from all that bike riding. ;-)

Laurie - Not just you. I had a little fan on me while I was getting ready in the bathroom or I would have been sweating, too. I think it's the combination of the humidity in the room from my shower and the bright lights I need to put my makeup on. I've had this problem for YEARS so you can tell your DD it's definitely not hot flashes.;-)

We worked on our Form and Hapkido last night at Dojo so a more mentally challenging class than a physical one. I didn't even break a sweat. Afterwards, we goofed up and forgot the new schedule started in June while I was gone and ended up staying for the Red Belt and Higher class. Master K. told us afterwards he figured we forgot about the new schedule or were just real ambitious. I was totally lost! We were supposed to do spinning, alternating, 360, reverse this and that and I just stood there going "Huh??" There was no demonstration like they normally do - you were just expected to know it. I guess that's what happens when a green belt is in class with a bunch of red belts and higher. ;-) Won't make that mistake again.

This morning I did BM2 Upper & Abs. Don't know what's wrong with me but I'm tired all the time and have little if any ambition to workout early anymore. Had to push myself to do something this morning. Just wanted to go back to bed and sleep and extra hour.

Tomorrow DD and I are attending the Black Belt testing & graduation ceremony at our Dojo. It's 3 hours long so I'm hoping DD doesn't want to stay for the whole thing. DS will be up north with a friend and his family; DH will be playing Europa (WW II military board game) with his friends so it's just the 2 of us. Will try to get some good workouts in this weekend.

Hi again,

Laurie, nice run. I went to Olive Garden once--good food. I am getting great definition in calves and quad/hamstring area from biking. My knee,hip and foot bother me when I run. I'll bet you don't need what not to wear people but it would be fun to go shopping.

Susan neat to have friends for so long. Doesn't happen you get more that one really good friend in a lifetime. Have fun with bootcamp.

Sue, not ready for the red belt class yet eh? Seems noone underworks the shoulders. I am with you with the no ambition and tired all the time. I've got to snap out of it.

Still haven't figured out what I'd do for fun. Maybe find some help for my sleep problem.

Sounds like you all have great weekends planned. See you Mon.
