C&T run Katie, RUN!!!!! weekend!

GO KATIE GO GO GO GO!!!!!!

my personals have been a bit lax and i am sorry. this is gonna be a long one!! from yesterday:

angie, so good to hear from you!!! somehow i didnt realize you on were here without dh. never learned to drive, ive always lived in a very walkable and T-accessible area. so many use public here. and i had my first son very young, i think i was just busy and never thought about driving cuz i didnt have to.

hi anne! dont worry about the drive-by...

becky, never tried icycle. is it like cc?

robin, yes that was me speeding past you!! lol. the cops and construction guys around here all know me and they saw me rdrive by and wanted to know where the stroller was =)

colleen, we need an interview update, please!

klaudia, lol at the cheesy holiday sweaters!!!! what is TS? believe it or not, the cemetary near me is VERY busy with pedestrians - mt auburn cemetary is famous, famous ppl there, the landscaping, blah blah. not my idea of a good time but whatev =)

nina, that running circuit sounds kick-a$$!! what did end up with for dinner?

kate, no practicing with dh, hes too impatient and makes me nervous. my reflexes are not good yet and i rely on tchr to talk me through every step. i hope when the time to wean comes i will know. staybridge does look nice, right? getting an apt freaks me out, needing to furnish, equip the kitchen, get vacuum, etc. this way its all done. dh is still not convinced.

last night dinner was swordfish, spinach, asparagus and baked br rice. yummy! too bad dh took all the leftovers. yes, work on saturday =( and he is working DAYS all of a sudden. we thought he was starting 12 hr overnights this week and instead they said 2 more wks of reg day shift before that starts. its so hard to prepare for things to change when it always changes!!! eats are gonna be hard today with my gf's baby shower... my mom is doing a huge green salad with lots of veggies so i will fill most of my plate with that--less room for other things! 1 trip only!!

JJ had me up before 5 again today so its gonna be a long one for me... this afternoon is my gf's baby shower, lots of work to do and wanna get there early. not sure yet whats on tap for WO today due to time. yesterday ended up trying group step at the gym -- not bad at all! my first step wo in a while cuz of my knees. hope they dont hurt much today and i can do it again next week!
 
run katie, run!:D actually, i take that back. rest up today, run tomorrow.

goodmorning kate. how are things? hope you got more rest!

i cannot believe i got up to wo - 13hrs after i finished yday:p nice lng hill run on the tm, and did pcc from insanity. i guess i did use some muscle yday on my circuit, b/c my ub was sore! dh should be home today at some point. it is his birthday, and i assembled the ic cake. it is in my freezer. not even a lick of the batter yday - it was a totally clean day. i feel good for it. i did splurge on takeout last night, but mien was a thai chick salad with no dressing. very clean and tidy. hope for another one today. we have a bday party for finn in the early afternoon. not sure when i will clean??? bbiab
 
good morning wnedy. have fun at the shower. are you bringing jj with you? dare i ask how old you are?:p i totally undersatnd trying to adapt to changing schedules. it is not easy at all.there is a definate period of adjustment when dh comes home from these trips. usually by the time we find our rhythum, he is gone again. ah well, keep on trying.
 
Go Katie!!!

Girls were up at 7am-way too early for a Saturday! I think the time change is still affecting Nevena. Well, never worked out yesterday and indulged in too much candy-again:( I have no idea how my weight isn't creeping up! I think I'm going to do upper body today and a short cardio and lower body and some cardio tomorrow-or plyo legs. The girls have Nutcracker rehearsals on and off til 3:35 and Darrin is heading up north to our neighbor's cottage for the night so it's going to be me and the ladies til tomorrow evening:) Thinking of pizza and movie night tonight:)

Katie, take it easy today and think positive thoughts. My mom always says, "What you think about, you bring about."

Kate, how was dance yesterday? Do you have a quiet weekend planned?

Wendy, my husband is working this morning for a few hours-can't pass up the overtime. His schedule is going to be grueling this winter-in addition to working 40 hours at he office, he'll be on call for snow which can have him gone for 24+ hours at a time AND he's going to be painting my grandma's house and remodeling his mom's bathroom/painting her house after that! I'm going to be a single mom all winter!:( Have fun at the shower:) TS is Tastefully Simple-it's a company that sells food products at at home parties. The cemetary where my grandpa is is like that too-lots of people walking, etc. And it IS beautiful. When I went to Paris as a teen, I went to Pere Lachaise cemetary where lots of famous people are and it was crazy busy-Jim Morrison's grave was like a party scene!

Nina, great workout as usual! I wish I was as dedicated! Don't worry about cleaning too much-just do a tidying up. It's going to get dirty with the party anyway-why do it twice?
 
Thanks for the shout-out ladies! I am taking it easy today - gonna do some outlet shopping, napping, carb-loading.... Race starts at 7 am tomorrow. I promise to be back before then! Love you all!
 
Hi Everyone!

Well I did a 3 mile run this morning followed by PLB. I am still recovering from this cold so I had to take some sudafed so I could breathe again after my run. I also have this problem where my nose suddenly turns red. It happened on Tuesday and yesterday when I was at lunch with my friend. Maybe I am becoming Rudolph for the holidays. My interview went well yesterday and I hope to hear something from them next week. Today is errands, watch PSU beat OSU and then off to my in-laws for dinner.

Katie, good luck tomorrow. Enjoy your relaxing day.
Wendy, the schedule changes drive me crazy too. Sometimes DH has to work late so that messes up dinner for us.
Klaudia, 7 am is too early for a Saturday. Enjoy your weekend with the girls.
Nina, ^5 on the workout. Let us know how the ic cake turns out.
Kate, any free time this weekend?
Anne, are you away this weekend?
Lisa, is football over yet?

Off to get my haircut!
 
My brother finally sent me the pics from the wedding we went to. Here's the link (they're on snapfish): http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/...otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

klaudia, you look slim and fab in that dress, and LOVE the pink shoes!!! yes!!! ikwym abt your dh sched this winter, its hard to be a "single mom" when they are actualy still sleeping at home!! my older son really misses my dh when he is too busy to go to things like his XC banquet and such. think im better off NOT checking oujt the TS website, lol. we visited that cemetary in paris, too!!

colleen, weird about the nose thing. may your team win! oh man, i soooo need a haircut but im putting it off unti early dec, we have a black tie wedding in NY and i need to look presentable lol.

katie, enjoy your low key day!

nina, im 32 =) ITA abt the adjustment when dh returns, for me getting back in a rhythm together as a fam is harder than getting in the rhythm with him being gone, even tho i miss him dearly. may it be smooth for you this time! yup, JJ is coming with today. hes like my third arm.

abt to have chick, hummus, rice and fatoosh for lunch. then off to the baby shower!
 
WOW, klaudia!! you look fabulous. lack of wos and candy work really well for you;) 7 am is a distant memory to me. i had this golden window after breakfast where the boys play well together and i usually relax, drink decaf or go online. today i frantically cleaned and cleaned. everything done but sheets and trash.

colleen, weird about the nose. hmmmmm. great wo, enjoy the haircut. i must go get some clariol hair care.

katie, carb loading sounds like fun. i never figured that part out, but enjoy it, and the shopping:eek:

See you tomorrow!

I love you all and appreciate everything over the past 12 weeks!!

Katie, I'm so excited for you ! Just popped on to wish you luck, but I'm late !!! Can't wait to hear all about it .

Klaudia, just saw the pictures and I LOVE that dress ! You are in awesome shape ! Looking GOOD ! :)

Hi to everyone else !!!!
Busy weekend, no "structured" workout, but ton's of yard work and physical activity !!

BBL ,
Becky
 
go katie, go! i thought of you every mile i ran this am:)

klaudia, what did you think of the split? i am desperately searching for some ub weight rotation. what spilt did you do? are you sore? and how ong was it?

good morning becky. unstructuredcan be fabulaous.

well, dh is home:D:D we had a nice b day celebration last night after going to finn's friends bday party which was at a horse farm. my kids ate wayyyy too much sugar yday. the cake turned out fine, dh said. i did not have any:cool::cool: and, i ran 18 glorious miles outside this morning!!! off for some family time. hope to make yugo beans for dinner, maybe with corn? biab
 
GO KATIE!!

Well, there's nothing like waking up at 4 am to the sounds of your cat puking under your bed! Ugh. And the girls were up bright and early again. They're cleaning the basement right now cause it looks like Toys 'R Us threw up down there and I told them no playing outside or going to my mom's til it's done-so there! I have lower body on tap-not sure what-something short and tough. We're going to my mom's so the girls can help rake leaves:)

Becky, thank you!! I can't take credit for the dress-my mom found it in a resale shop in Chicago last month:) It's so gratifying to hear such great things from women like you all-fit, strong, and dedicated! Makes me very proud to be a part of such an awesome group!

Nina, I haven't even had my coffee yet! So glad to hear your day of parties turned out well. Let me know how the beans turn out-hope you like them! The split was ok-it was only 30 minutes and had one exercise/body part-lying rows, barbell shoulder press, decline barbell bench press, incline bicep curls, and tricep pushdowns with a band. The bi/tri work was easy, the rows I did bent over instead of on a ball-they were one arm at a time. I want to try the workouts in the original splits and see how they are. Some of the moves are weird. Not sore yet. We took the kids to Applebee's-my 3 and her two boys:eek: Movie was a bust-3 out of 5 were asleep 1/2 hour in-waste of $6.50!

Off to have my coffee!
 
klaudia, your poor kitty =( lol at TRU throwing up at your house!!

nina, glad your dh is home and yall had fun bday celebrations! ods just turned 16. what are yugo beans?

becky, yard work totally counts!

katie, cant wait to hear about your race! running with your iphone... i bet a lot ppl do these days?

good news, my knee did ache some after the class, but no more than after a long walk outside or interval session on a machine. so im thinking i will aim for the following rotation and see how it feels:

m - cardio intervals
t - yoga with pilates abs (centergy class)
w - tbs (group power class)
t - cardio intervals
f - interval step, core (group step class)
s - cardio intervals
sun - rest or light yoga

still havent figured out if my interval session really qualify as HIIT... anyone know of a good site about it?

i did ok at the shower yesterday. the good news was most of the food wasnt even appealing to me so i had mostly salad with a few deviled eggs, coulda been worse... but then it was cake time and my willpower was not what i wish it was =( new day today.

dh is at the patriots game with bil. i totally do not recall him telling me this happening AT ALL!! thought he was working today. annoying but whatevs. it is 63 today... in Nov... New England... unbelievable! you bet your behind i am out that door! waiting for JJ to get up from nap but i am dressed and ready!!
