Cabs & Abs....in Friday mode!

[RunninTeach]

Good morning & happy Friday! http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_2081.gif

Wendy :: I bought a belted short jacket and two tops. Here’s the link again for the Chicago marathon. Date is 10/12: http://www.chicagomarathon.com/cms400min/chicago_marathon/ …How did Joey's first day of potty training go?

Angie :: I never heard of the Body Bug…tell me more. No, I really don’t feel tremendous guilt about not working out much in March. I did what I had to do under unusual circumstances, and I don’t fault myself for that. I thought, though, that as soon as that box was in the mail, I’d be able to just bounce right back with some hardcore workouts to make up for lost time, but I recognize that this is exhaustion. I’m not ready for full force just yet, and I'm fine with that. Yes, I do plan to get back to rotations, but it would be Monday at the earliest. I still need to get these grades done and in the system on time. In the meantime, I am doing what I can. I looked up the zombie dream & found some interesting results: To dream that you are a zombie, denotes that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. You are out of touch. Alternatively, it may indicate that you are feeling dead inside and are simply going through the motions of daily living. In analyzing it a bit, I know it definitely has to do with things other than working out…Love the toilet smiley – too funny. Yikes! Sorry about that cut. Hope it doesn’t affect your guitar playing!

Laura :: yes! The pain in my heart during that dream felt so real...a weird one, for sure, but not disturbing enough to affect my day! :7 I think you may have missed a question I asked about your classes. Was wondering if you develop plans for each one or if you teach off-the-cuff?

Hi Di! Know you’re having a busy week. Hope things are going well.

Today is a rest day. I am chaperoning the school dance tonight and will be getting a hair cut and going to dinner with some work friends, so I won't be home til late tonight.

Have a stellar one!

Good Morning.

I have to be in work at 8 this morning. It's great cause I'm out at 11 but I have very little time to "play" in the morning. LOL It also COMPLETELY rules out ANY chance of a morning work out which I actually was going to consider again this morning....so much for that!

Cathy: Wouldn't ya know it, the 18 miler is the same EXACT date as the Chicago race!? Yesterday's potty training try out was not successful. He had several accidents and not one drop in the potty. Oh well. My mom thinks he's not ready yet. Eventually I'm going to buy pull ups and give it another shot. I'm not worried about it but my DH has it in his head that all kids should be PT'd by 3 and no matter what I say he won't change his mind. x(
Have fun tonight. Sounds like you have a full but fun evening planned after work. Enjoy it!

So today's work out plan is this: Rockin Body Booty Time, Turbo Jam Lower Body Sculpt, Turbo Jam Ab Jam, Rockin Body Hardcore Abs. I'm not what order I'll be doing them in yet though.

BB after work!:+

Morning Ladies!!

YAYAYYAYA .. it is Friday .. double YAYAYAYAYAYA PIA is not here!! {{ doing happy dance all over the place }} .. I will be on the counter and it will be uber busy .. so going to post early and get a move on!

Class last night .. I actually felt better than I thought ended up doing a kick@$$ class!! .. and this is the first day I feel worth a crap .. no fever .. no pain .. still stuffy .. but I can live w/that!

Cathy - My classes .. I have certain classes .. like core torture or 4 step torture that are formatted and I never deviate b/c it is so complex and they hit EVERY muscle ... other classes .. think of it like a jigsaw puzzle .. I have these "combos" or "sets" .. and I peice them together depending on what area I want to concentrate on .. I vary the reps .. I vary the weight ... but it is kinda like I have all these "peices" in my head .. and I paste and put them together like a great big torture pain inflicting working it the best and most effective way puzzle!! Does that make sense?? So there are extremly structure classes .. then mish mosh classes .. then sometimes it changes depending on the "vibe" of the room!!

Wendy .. too bad on the potty training . . remember .. consistancy is the key! your workouts have been kicking some butt lately .. surely you have burned enough for me too .. right??

Angie .. have you torn yourself away from the Wii yet??? LOL ... hoping this weekend bring good weather

Di.. Hoping all is well w/you .. let us know about this weeks meltdown classes!!}(

OK ..weekend plans changed...the fishing trip is canceled due to weather .. and we are headed down to Biloxi, MS tomorrow ..us and some friends (in her new car) .. going to be some gambling and LOTS of CABS consumed!!! WOOO HOOO!!! Going to be fun .. hope I don't loose my arse!!

Ok .. getting busy gotta run ...will try to pop in later .. if not everyone have a great weekend .. I know I intend too!!}( }( :7

Monring girls

I slept in really late today. I feel great but also feel like I have wasted part of the day. Oh, well.... I got on the scale, which is later than I normally weigh in, and I was 1.8 pounds up. I can't say I was surprised. It's a good thing spring break is almost over, but I need to get going on some type of rotation. I hate to say it and I'm almost dreading it, but I think I have to start P90X on Monady. It's been a long time since I've done the X and it is sooooo effective for me so I think it's time. So far, nothing has been as effective for me.

Laura - So glad you are feeling back to almost 100%! That's great and just in time for the weekend too.;-)
I'll bet it's quite a "trip" with the dogs in the car. I know our beagle goes bonkers when she goes for a ride. She'd be all over the cab with nose out the window if we let her. But, she gets so excited and sheds so bad that we put her in the doggie kennel when we go. She still gets all excited, but she keeps her fur to herself.:7
The weather is supposed to be in the 50's this weekend with a storm brewing up on Sunday. Since we have a cookout planned for Sunday, I'm hoping it comes later in the day.

Wendy - You should have fried legs and abs for tomorrow for sure. Yikes!
I noticed that boys take longer to PT. And all kids are different. My oldest son caught on pretty quick with virtually no bed wetting. My youngest....no so much. In fact, at 10, he sometimes still wets the bed. It's very rare when he does, but the pediatritian said he'll eventually grow out of it and not to make a big deal out of it.
So, the legs must now be back to 100%?

Cathy - Wow....interesting analysis of that dream. No creepy dreams last night I hope.
Nah, the cut shouldn't affect the GH playing. *lol* I'm such a wimp though. As soon as I stabbed my hand I started sweating really bad and my HR went up. It was like I was in a pre-shock state. And a bit afterward I got really tired and wanted to go to bed, which is how I feel anytime I am not feeling well. My body always just wants to sleep it off. *lol* I told DH if I ever got in a car accident, make sure I get plenty of sleep before he pulls the plug. I told him I would be the one who was still in a coma and the doctors would say there's no reason she should not be awake. It's a wonder I survived 2 childbirths. It was an experience I would NOT want to repeat.....and yes, I slept between contractions. :7
The body bugg is a device they use on the BL where they wear it around their upper arm and it monitors their entire calorie burn for the day. Since they work out 6 hours per day I'm sure it registers some pretty big numbers for them. I just think it would be a great piece of information to have to be able to monitor your metabolism and be able to create rotations to rev up the calorie burn and afterburn and be able to see it in the numbers.
Have a great time at the dance and hope you get a great cut!!

Hi Diana - Hope you are having a great Friday

OK, I think I'm gonna go kick the kids off the TV and get my W/O in early so I can run in to work for a couple of hours and finish some stuff up.

Hi Girls.

I am gulping down a Dunkin' coffee and unwinding from a BAAAD morning with the munchkin. I wanted to give him up for adoption by the time we were driving home from work this morning, I swear! He was sooooo bad. I was beside myself...I was FUMING MAD! Thank goodness he finally calmed down in the car and was back to "normal" by the time we got home. He went up for an early nap. I think he's over-tired. He went to bed last night and got up early this morning.:-(

Laura: Glad you are PIA-less today!:+ Have fun in Biloxi! Sounds like sooo much fun! My mom and her BF are heading to Atlantic City for a weekend of the same. I am sooo jealous but I am going in May for the weekend with my girlfriends so I guess I can't complain too much.

Ang: Sorry about the "stabbing" incident. I hope you heal up alright. I am a big wuss about getting cuts and stuff too. When we first moved in to this house (almost 5 years ago), I was making sandwiches for DH and I one night and cut myself pretty good on one finger with a knife. I swear I was gonna pass out! I didn't but I felt woozy and nauseaus. I had to lay down for quite some time before I felt better. :-(

So you already know my work out plan for this afternoon. I guess I'll check back in when it's done and let ya know how much pain I was in!:7 }( :7

BBL!

Hello loverlies

So, who's got CABs on tap for this Friday???
I just got done with GS BSB and CM#1. My upper body is fried!x( I got showered and lunch out of the way so now I'm sippin' down a java and then I'll go into work for a bit. When I get home I need to do some cleanmax since we will be gone all day tomorrow downstate and we have a cookout with friends planned for Sunday. We'll probably just park it in front of the TV and watch the race, catch up, and down some CABs. Ahhhhhhh! Can't wait.;-)

Wendy - *lol* about the cut. What's with us???:7 It's not the blood that gets me, but it's the reaction of my body to the injury.....very weird. Thankfullly blood doesn't bother me, or my nursing career would've been very short. However, sputum on the other hand. x( Yuck!! I never would've been able to be a respiratory therapist!
Cheers with the coffee. Hopefully DS will be better when he gets up. I threaten my kids with adoption too.....but then I follow up with I don't know who in their right minds would adopt them.;-) What do you have planned for the weekend?

 

[Poochy]

Hey girls ..

we are not as busy as I thought {knock on wood} ..

ROTF LOL about the cuts .. our two warriors are actually whimps (just kidding).. LOL!!! That is TOO funny!!! I am the polar opposite ... I cut the tip end of my finger off and refused to go to the Dr. .. also cut my toe half into and never got stitches .. left a HORRIBLE scar though .. also I was helping DH on the 4 wheeler once and he was telling me to watch this S hook bungie cord .. well I was .. and I was behind the 4 wheeler it popped and the metal S hook came flying around ..popped my leg and cracked my shin bone ... YUP .. would not go to the dr .. shook it off .. LOL!!! I guess it is a good thing I have a high tolerance for pain .. since I have to endure the pain of so many kidney stones .. !!!

Guess I got it from my Dad .. he was like that! Tough as nails ... LOL ... another name for it is hard headed!! LOL

Hey .. and CABS are on tap right after 5;00 .. I will be raising one for sure ... come on 5:00!!!:7

Hi Lovely Ladies,

TGIF!!! I have been very busy at work this week. Yesterday I did heavy legs at the rec ctr and then...we worked legs again in the meltdown class. We ran for 10 mins, followed a circuit of seated 40 calf raises, 20 one legged curls each leg, 40 inverted leg press, 20 lunges, 20 squats, 20 abs with weighted ball. Then 4 sets of stairs and 4 laps. Then we did a circuit of upper body weights, 4 stairs 2 laps, and finished with ab work and stretching.

This morning I did 30 min of LIC as I was running short on time. I figured something was better than nothing.

Wendy-Sorry you had a bad morning. Good luck with potty training. My boys were very easy and all potty trained by 2 1/2. The oldest was potty trained by age 2. The 2 younger ones took a bit longer. Consistency is key. Does he play with friends that are out of diapers? You can let him pick out big boy undies.

Cathy-I'm sure you will be back to the normal day to day activities in a week or so. No need to push. You need to let your mind and body recover from the NB stress.

Laura-Glad you are feeling better. Have a great weekend and WIN BIG!!!

Angie-I need to get busy following a rotation to. I do feel pretty good about exercising everyday, but I need better direction. I think I might do the BBC workouts next week, even though the cardio is so hard.

Gotta run...Have a great weekend girls.

Diana

OMG Diana!!! I am soooo sorry! When I read ^^^ I realized that I completely forgot to do that rotation for you!!!! Do you still want me to do it? I will. It's not that I didn't want to. I just got very focused on my race and then that was all she wrote! I'm sorry! Let me know!

 

[Fit_mommy]

My work out today kicked arse! I was wasted by the end! Burned out the legs and abs for sure! I'll be doing that killer combo again!}(

Ang: I will probably be joining you ins some CAB consumption. We plan on playing GH again tonight and as mentioned before...I just can't play it totally sober!

Laura: Wow, you are a strong woman! I am a major league whimp. I couldn't brush off the injuries you've brushed off. Too bad you never had kids...you'd probably breeze through labor and delivery!!! :7 :7

I guess we won't be hearing from Cathy this evening. She is going to be one busy CABBER tonight. Good for her. She needs the outlet.

Alrighty...gonna go figure out dinner now...BBIAB!

 

[angie_nrs]

Evening cabbers

Mom and dad came over for pizza, cards and Wii. Yes, Wii! The old folks loved it! *lol* We bowled and played golf and had a ball! Had a few CABs too.

Diana - IA the cardio in BBC is killer}( It definitely leaves you worked out for sure!! Although, with what you do in the meltdown class you'll probably be able to breeze thru BBC now.
Don't you have to work this weekend too or was that last weekend?
How are the babies doing lately?

Wendy - So what are ya gonna do when you play all the songs in GH? Is there a GH 1 and 2?? GH 3 came with our Wii, so I'm assuming there must be a 1 and 2 that you can buy right?? I also hear that rock band will soon be available for the Wii....oh, wouldn't that be fun! Although, I'm not sure my family will want to be tortured with my singing....especially with a microphone. x(

Laura - I would be asleep from the first signs of a stone to the last passing of it. I'd probably be in the hospital on a morphine drip! Thank the lord I do not have to deal with that. My sister had one not too long ago, so it's not totally out of the question for me to have to deal with that someday, but I certainly hope not!

Cathy - Hope you are having a rockin' fun night.

Cheers ladies......

I probably won't be able to check in tomorrow since I will be out spending some $$$$. I'll check in after we get home if it's not too late. Have a wonderful Saturday!!!!!
