Good morning, Cabbers! Happy Friday!

Laura :: why, you sounded positively “chipper” yesterday, :7 lol! PIA on vacay’ll do it for ya, eh? Glad to hear VBF partook in the festivities…I am with you on workout style preferences…however, I still don’t think TJ is for me…it’s that happy, dancy factor.

Angie :: glad the good night’s sleep ;) put you right again. :) I checked for a Wii for you yesterday when I stopped at Target, but no dice. I suppose demand is up again b/c of Easter. Fingers crossed for you for Tuesday. Yeahhhp, that judge’s ‘tude definitely sucked. Good Ziggy move to block it out of your head. :)

Wendy :: did you try the Perfect Pushups yet? What do you think?

Last night, a few friends from work twisted my arm and dragged me out to happy hour. Ahhh, those Corona Lights went down *smoooooth*. :) Fun time and just what I needed. Today, it's back to work...I'll loaf around another hour and then get down to business: portfolio writing. Later, I need to drop off my films so that they can be converted to DVD format. Somewhere in there will be a workout yet TBD.

Have a great day, ladies!

Hey Cabbers!

Cathy: No, I didn't try the perfect push up yet. LOL I had tried a set out real quick in a store a while back. They seemed pretty nifty. Glad your friends got you to let loose and have a few cabs with them last night. Hope you enjoyed your quiet-time this morning and that you get TONS accomplished today!:)

My plan for today is the gym for a long run and food shopping in no particular order. I orginally wanted to be at the gym ALREADY since DH is off from work today so Joey can stay home with him but I woke up too late. At this point I will just drink my coffee and have something to eat and then decide what I want to do when. So long as I get both things done today I guess it really doesn't matter when they happen. :)

So where is the Easter Bunny taking you ladies to celebrate on Sunday? If you celebrate the holiday that is...I don't want to offend if you don't. :)

BBL!
 
Friday at last!!!

Yesterday I did CF mix & match premix which is one of my favorites. I usually only do this w/o on weekend since it's 80 mins. I had a Dentist appt so I had time. Last night's meltdown was really fun. We ran for 15 min and then our instructor had set up stations for us in the aerobics room. For 1 min each we had to do a cardio and a strength exercise. For example, 1 min of jump squats onto the step, one min breast stroke (back exercise), Knee up jumps on the step and planks, jump squats and bicycles, up and over squats over the bench (really hard), tricep and wide arm pushups.

Not sure how this happened, but I was down 3.6lbs at my WW weigh in yesterday. Other than getting back to exercising again and eating like I normally do there hasn't been any changes.

We used to get good Friday off work many years ago, but not anymore. Sounds like Wendy and Cathy have busy days planned.

I will be going in a little late this morning since Jerod is getting an honors award at school. He's been working hard for straight A's but he does have 2 B's on his report card. I think he's working harder than normal since DH told him he'd give him $50 if he got straight A's. I don't really agree with that incentive, but I guess if its working...

When DH came home from work the baby girls were really sick and DH had DS and Amanda take them to the emergency room. They both tested positive for RSV and bronchiolitis. They said to watch them closely and make sure their breathing doesn't become any more labored and if it does or if they start running a temp they need to take them back to the hospital immediately. Please send healing vibes to my girls.

We are having Easter dinner at my SIL's. She will take care of the ham and turkey, I'm bringing baked sweet potatoes, twice baked potatoes, veggie platter and MIL is bringing desserts. It is also DS's Birthday and I have no idea what we will be doing for him.

Cathy-I bet you're really excited to be finishing up the NB work! I am so proud of you. How long after you send it in until you get the results back? If you don't pass a certain area, can you just re-do that or do you have to everything again?

Wendy-Sounds like you'll have enough time to tackle todays' to do list and spend time with DH & Joey. Enjoy your day!!

Laura-What do you have planned for Easter? I would love to take your classes, they sound so fun and tough! I'm glad your friend showed up to happy hour and actually stayed around and got caught up with everyone.

Angie-Have you tried buying a wii online from Costco, best buy, Wal Mart etc? I've been trying to get new controllers for ours for a new game that just came out and so far no luck.

I'm heading downstairs for PLB.

Hi Girls!

I ran 8 miles this morning in 79 minutes and 44 seconds for a 9:59 average pace. I'm happy. :)

Tomorrow I plan to do Muscle Max or Muscle Endurance in full and then Sunday will be my rest day. After that I will have a week of SS and TJ work outs and one short run to bring me up to race day! :)

DH and I are going out tonight. We just found out y'day. Talk about last minute! LOL My mom is being gracious enough to watch Joey for us overnight which is why it's possible. We will be meeting a bunch of DH's work friends and thier S/O's at a restaraunt/bar to listen to a band play. It should be fun!:)

We are going to my mom's on Easter Sunday. My sister and her hubby will be there with the troops (thier kids!LOL). It'll be a nice day. I'm in charge of bringing a fresh veggie platter with dip so I am going to buy a thing of low fat dip as well as some hummus!:9 :9 :9 Needless to say, I'll be spending time tomorrow cutting up oodles of veggies!

GTG for now but I'll be back a little later to see what everyone is up to and to catch up on personals!:)
 
Diana: So I just KNOW that you want me to include Slim Series work outs in the rotation I am making for you, right? :p OMG, so sorry that the little ones are sick. I'm sending out healing vibes so they get better fast w/no set backs! Every time you talk about your melt-down classes you make me jealous!}(

Laura: Glad I inspired you to torture your class even worse then you usually do! LOL Happy to hear you scored with the smaller sized Luckys. See? Cathy and I know our stuff when it comes to Luck jeans!;)

Cathy: You are probably right...offending this group would be pretty difficult. That's why I like it so much! }( :7 }( CABS on Easter night sounds fabulous! Enjoy them!:9

Well, I've puttered around here quite long enough...I MUST get my arse in gear and get to the food store PRONTO!

BBL!:)
 
Hey Ladies . .

well is a SUNNY beautiful day - 75 degrees - flowers are in full bloom - and I am itching to get outside .. dang .. think the boss would let us close 2 hours early??? YEAH RIGHT!!

I made the weight room at lunch and my legs and shoulders are spent! (legs were already fried) .. I just went out and brought in the gym bag as to NOT make any excuses to skip the run! got the IPOD in the IPOD thingy .. and bag in my way to trip over as to not forget I MEAN .. no skipping out on the run! Beautiful day .. might as well soak in a little of it right??

Then I am to pick up VBF and take her towards my house .. her DH is turkey hunting and she is gonna catch a ride w/me .. warning: CABS may be comsumed shortly after the run!! :D

SIL tried on my lucky's at lunch .. she wants a pair for her anniversary .. that little thing just did fit in my jeans!!:eek: I would have sworn they would have swallowed her whole .. but they just did fit .. so now I know we can swap out jeans .. }( .. we have totally different body types and I would have never thought she would fit into my clothes ..wow .. I thought I was hunga bunga woman next to her!! Guess my upper body and midsection is where the hunga bunga comes in!! LOL

OK .. I am going to MAKE myself get back to work .. will try to check back b-4 I leave!! if not ...everyone have a wonderful Easter Holiday .. and a safe one! CABS on Easter .. uummm .. sounds good to me!! I think I may have to join ya Cathy .. after the egg hunt .. thinking hanging by the pool w/some CABS sound like the thing to do!!

Wendy ... have fun rocking out your night/weekend!! }( don't do anything I wouldn't do .... }( (that leaves you wide open girlfriend - no worries)
:7
 
I am working *and* Cabbing...how's THAT for a new writing strategy? }( }( }( Beer is my friend. :7

Just wanted to wish Laura a happy Easter before you check out for the weekend!
 
Thanks Cathy!!!

hhmmmmm if I could CABBING and my work .. I might get a lot more collecting done!! LOL .. not to mention PIA would not bother me NEAR as much .. um errr .. or I would finally knock her lights out .. one or the other .. LOL... wish I could try it one day!!;-)

Happy Easter to all .. I REALLY would like to go on home .. this afternoon has DRUG by .. but the IPOD is starring at me like .. "don't you dare" .. so be it .. something tells me it will be a SHORT run!! :D

Happy Easter to all ... :7
 
Haaa! That is the beauty, er, uh, danger(?) of working at home.

I'm calling it a wrap on the writing and will now spend some time analyzing the video of my lesson. I will have to go tomorrow to drop off the films.
 
Well, girls, the videos are ready to be dropped off tomorrow, so I guess this is it for me for tonight. The wheels are still spinnin' upstairs. Guess beer is my inspiration. :)

But since I've, uh, been indulging in some CABs, I'm no longer feeling like working out.

Angie :: hope you're having a good day! Any Wii luck?

Hey girls

I was off all day with the boys and DH to the indoor waterpark. I packed all kinds of healthy food to bring with us and then they tell us that they do not allow coolers or food to be brought in. Ya right...I don't think so....so I brought the munchies and PB and bread with me anyways but it made me mad that I couldn't bring my fruits and veges.}( So, my eats were less than stellar but since I was in the water for 6 hours, I don't feel too badly about it. It really was a fun day!

Cathy - Woooohoooo!...you got the films in the can. Don't worry about the workouts....not to be an enabler here, but you deserve to celebrate that accomplishment. :)
I bought the perfect pushup a while back b/c I got them for $12. I've not really used them a whole lot but it does put a bit of twist on the move. I still don't like push ups, but I'm glad I have them. Isn't Cathe supposed to be using them in STS?
Glad to hear you got some down time.:) LOL...Cabs on Easter Sunday. Hmmmmmmm, something to consider for sure! *LOL*

Diana - Glad to hear about Jarods grades. We pay our boys for grades too, it's not much, but my parents did the same thing with me, so I guess I don't think it's terribly bad. Although, I wish they just WANTED to get good grades and didn't need the bribe factor. Is it Jarods B-day this weekend?
Oh I hope the girls start getting better soon! Sorry to hear they are sick. :-( How's Amanda handling it? Hope she's doing allright.
Guess what I'm bringing for Easter dinner? Taco dip...*lol* Yup, we're having spaghetti and tacos. Odd, I know. But that's what MIL wanted to do. I don't think she wanted the conventional type Easter dinner b/c it's so close to FIL's death that she doesn't want it to feel like Easter...know what I mean? She also wanted to have something that everyone will like.
The girls at gamestop told me that we could pre-order the Wii online but it is a bundle package that I don't really want. I'm gonna camp out at Walmart on Tuesday and hope for the best.
Also, great job on the weight loss! Wooooohoooooo!!

Laura - So you have easter bunny duties this weekend huh? Do you have to hide eggs outside too? Unfortunately the easter bunny in Michigan will have to hide eggs inside or in the SNOW! }( x( :p I'm so jealous of you blooming flowers post!!
You class sounds.....er,so.....HARD! LOL!
Yes, get a laptop so you can join us on the weekends!!;-)

Wendy - Nice run today! I'll bet you're out having a great time right now....rock it girl!

I'll check you girls tomorrow and have a great weekend!

Angie
