BUFF BADGERS Fri 2/24

[lvnascar]

Morning BB's,

Don't know if I'm going to get a work out in tonight. I have to work at a state swim meet tonight. x( I have to go there right from work. But if I can, I will be doing MIC and the Leg Conditioning Drills from KM. Saturday will be CTX Kickbox Cardio only, ME, and Kathy Smith Pilates Lower Body. Sunday is Lowmax. I will be working at the meet on Saturday night, and then Sunday we have our monthly Guilde meeting. So this weekend will be flying by.

Jill, so sorry to hear about Mace. Big hug from me to you!

Ellen, your running inspired me to include a small run of 3 miles into my workout last night. And the fact that I ate a candy bar inspired me also.}(

Have a great day!

Laurie

Laurie - You are one busy lady! Where is the state swim meet? Is your daughter participating, too? Looks like you have some great workouts planned although I can't imagine doing ANYTHING afte MIC! That one always wipes me out. . .

Jill - So sorry to hear about you having to give up Mace! {{{ hugs }}} This has got to be a stressful time for you right now - working long hours, putting all the effort into selling your house and now this. Hang in there!

Sarah - I had to google Olympic Ice because I hadn't heard of it. Unforunately, I don't get home until 6 when it's on and then it's getting dinner ready, checking homework, blah, blah, blah. I'll have to DVR it tonight so I get to see it.

SPOILER ALERT! Do not read if you recorded women's figure skating last night.

Did you watch Sasha Cohen last night? I had a bad feeling she would fall after watching the warmup and the Japanese skater looked so solid I even told DD who was watching it with me that she was going to do really well - and she ended up winning the gold! Was happy that Sasha was able to skate the rest of the program so flawlessly. I thought Emily and Kimmie did well also even though they both fell. Everyone seemed to be having problems last night.

My glutes are screaming this morning from KM so I'm just doing cardio today instead of PS-SLA & cardio like I planned. Been looking forward to doing Mega Step Blast all week - it was my very first Cathe step tape. May throw in some intervals from Imax 3, too.

Ordered Cardio Party Mix 2 a couple of weeks ago and it came last night! I waited so long for CP1 this was really a pleasant surprise that it came so quickly. Hope I like this one as much as CP1.

Have a great weekend everyone! (I know I said that yesterday but didn't think I'd have time to post today and look how long-winded I was! LOL)

Yay Friday!

I think I'm taking a day off working out today. I think I pulled a muscle in my, um, butt. So I took it easy last night. I did PLB but couldn't do step-ups or lunges using the bad butt cheek. Squats and deadlifts seemed to be OK. Next w/o is supposed to be MuscleMax so I'll try to get to that on Saturday or Sunday.

Laurie - try to have fun at the swim meet! What do you have to do? Good for you running 3 miles too. Nothing like a little "sweets" inspiration, huh?

**** FIGURE SKATING SPOILER*****

Sue - I hope you like Olympic Ice. I've really enjoyed having the expert opinions, commentary, etc. available everyday. I love the segment they have called "Push Dick's Button!" where viewers send in questions. It's a hoot. I'm sad it's over soon! My DH and I were just watching poor little Sasha - and after that warm-up, I too had a sinking feeling it was not her night. You could really just see it in her eyes, especially compared to the short program. I think having the top spot really got in her head. She's sooo darn cute. I agree that the rest of her program was great after those 2 tumbles. I think she deserved her medal. After Slutskaya skated, I was sure the Japanese skater would win. She was very solid. Irina didn't look very good out there, compared to the short program. Whew! I guess I can go ON and ON about figure skating! Somebody stop me!

**** END SPOILER *********

Have a GREAT weekend everyone! - Sarah

Good morning,

I haven't done anything yet today but am planning to do upper body work tonight. I have a seven-mile run ahead tomorrow, oh no! The farthest I have ever run is 6.2 miles (a 10k), so I'm going into uncharted territory for me. It might get ugly

Laurie, glad I could be an inspiration I ate horribly yesterday and am feeling bad about it today, so I'm actually looking forward to running. Crazy, huh?

Jill, I'm so sorry about the situation with Mace. I hope you find him a good home.

I tried to watch ice skating last night but kept getting sidetracked. I know they're trying to generate interest in the other events by breaking up skating into segments, but I wish they'd just cater to my needs and show the skating! Because it's all about me. Ha!

Have a great weekend,

Ellen

Sue, The meet is at Waukesha West and no my dd didn't make the state times. Most of the girls that did are quite a bit bigger than my dd. She is like 87lbs and 5'1/2", she is a true Ectomorph just like DH. He had a 28" waist when we got married. Not anymore, once he hit middle age he can't keep the weight off. Can't say I feel sorry for him!}(

Sarah, I'm on the clean up crew/beverage cart. And yes sweets do tend to inspire me. Just wish I didn't get inspired so much! Maybe I would lose the last bit of weight.

Ellen - good luck with your 10K. I'm sure you will do fine.

Laurie - 3 miles is not such a short run! You are so amazing!

Hi to all other BBs! I am still sick so no workouts. Really hoping to get to go to spin class tomorrow. I need to see if I can wean myself from the box of kleenex and hoping the fever goes away soon. I have been sleeping every other night so that means tonight I should be able to sleep.

Ladies, thanks for the virtual hugs about Mace! Nothing is decided yet.

Just a very quick hi! My friend and I are going to Florida. I'll be putting a bathing suit on in 9 weeks. Talk about movitation! Time to get moving!!!
