Cabs & Abs -- Monday

[RunninTeach]

Good morning, girls!

Wendy :: hope you're feeling well-rested this morning. Did the Mucinex help? It's hard to believe your HM is this Sunday already. Do you know yet if DH is off? I'm still planning to come & be part of your cheering section regardless. I don't remember Laura saying anything about going away this weekend ~ I'm pretty sure she doesn't usually check in on the weekends.

Angie :: Glad the party was a success! You sure had a busy day yesterday. Despite my eating this weekend, I am down another lb., so no complaints from me...I actually rarely see the UPS man or woman...When I had that problem with the VS package not long ago, it was a female who came to do the "investigation," so I think she has the route now...I hope things turn around, too, with my BF. Dinner is this Thursday and she suggested shopping after...She actually said at lunch the other day that I am her ONLY friend, so it's really not like she's juggling this boomin' social life with all these invites. It's just her best friend she has to make a little room for. I think that should be manageable. If he's not gonna give her the breathing room, well, she has to demand a little more.

Hi Diana, Laura, and Nancy.

Have a *great* day, girls! BBL...

Morning Ladies.

Well let's just say that it hurt to sit on the toilet this morning! I guess my little lower body creation I did y'day really worked!}(

I guess the Mucinex works because I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I was having mucus "issues". LOL Meaning I was coughing and it was moving and it would get "stuck" in a bad place and I'd have to clear my throat alot to get it out of the way where before I would cough and nothing would really happen. I will take it again this morning.

I have to work this morning at 8:30 and I want to call the doc for DS so I guess I'll have to call from cell at work. The doc doesn't open til 9 and I start work at 8:30. I would think a doc's office would open at 8, wouldn't you?? x( I really would rather just not go into work but then I'd have to try to find coverage and I'm not in the mood for that aggravation to be honest.

I'm on the fence about what work out to do today. I was originally thinking of doing Cardio Sculpt Express, Cardio Core Express and ABA Abs. Then I changed my mind and was just going to do a short cardio and abs but I don't like that idea. I think my original idea may be the winner after all. We'll see what I reach for when it's time to get busy. LOL

Cathy: I just asked DH last night about the HM. He really has no idea yet. We probably won't know until Friday/Saturday to be honest. Will you be needing/wanting to get right home after the half? I know I'll be a bit on the scurvy side but I promise you I don't normally SMELL (LOL) so I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing lunch afterwards? It will be perfect timing as I'll be finishing between 12 and 1. I can bring a change of clothes and a brush for my hair so that I atleast don't LOOK like I just ran 13 miles.

Angie: Good job doing BBC full body! That is one KILLER work out girl! How do you feel this morning? Any DOMS? I am glad I was able to inspire you.

Have a great day! BBL.

Good Morning Girls,

I took a vacation day today since the kids don't have school. Jerod wants to go to a movie and we have parent/teacher conferences tonight.

I plan on doing a full body weight w/o and a cardio this morning. I have never done the BBC full body w/o so I guess it's time I give that one a try. I'll choose a cardio when I get downstairs.

One of the football coaches called to recruit Jerod to play in the post season league. DH doesn't want to tell Jerod until after his game this coming Saturday. He's afraid if he lets Jerod know he's been drafted, he won't give it his all during his game on Saturday. The coach that called is a good friend of ours, but I don't particularly care for his coaching style. I'm sure Jerod will be fine with it though.

Cathy-I think it's wonderful that you live close enough to go support Wendy in her first HM. It sounds like you and BF are well on your way to mending your relationship. I ate terrible this weekend and am afraid of the scale today. I don't weigh in until Wednesday and will be eating fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water until then.

Wendy-I hope you and Joey feel better soon. It's awful when the little ones don't feel well. About my shoulder, I'm afraid a surgery may be needed but need to let a dr. determine that.

Angie-It sounds like your party was a huge success. Sorry to hear about your neighbors cancer. It's so nice of you to keep an eye on their place. That's what neighbors are for.

Good Morning to Laura and Nancy.

I'll bbl to see what everyone is up to.

Diana

Morning Ladies!!!

didn't make it on the computer this weekend .. it was football mania at my house!! and MY TEAM WON!! WAAAARRRRRR EAGLE! and let me say it was a nail biter!! we only one by ONE point!!! GEEZE .. and b-4 that the #1 team in the SEC .. LSU ....who I have considered (along w/everyone else) UNBEATABLE .. LOST!!! OK .. it was one of the best games I have ever seen .. both teams played exceptional w/few mistakes .. and it went into TRIPLE OVERTIME!!! .. this game was b-4 my team played I about lost my voice on it .. LOL!! Our rivals BARELY eeked by w/a ONE point win ... dang it! This coming weekend my team plays the once ranked #1 LSU .. and they are gonna be Pi$$ed . . so I look for one H#### of a fight!!x(

OK .. I know all of you are not football groupies .. LOL .. but thought I would get in one more ... WAAAARRRRRR EAGLE!!

Angie .. no hangover .. I am impressed .. sounds like you had a nice gathering

Cathy and Wendy .. must be some bug that has gotten the 2 of you .. I don't see how you are working out ..

Cathy .. your friend .. hate to say sounds like she is torn . . and sounds like the guy really has a hold over her... I would not get my hopes up too much for any major changes in her behavior . . but at least she seems to regret "dropping" you . . and she knows how bad it was .. but at the same time she wants to be w/this control freak! JUST like my friend .. yes we still have heard NOTHING from her at all .. she has once again dissapeared from our lives (until they break up again) .. aahhh .. but it is her life .. SHE has decided what she wants .. and it obvious does not include sharing w/us. SAD ....

Di .. I would never EVER say you are going soft .. b/c if you are .. OH MY what does that make super slacker me???

Today is either heavy weights in the gym (mish mosh upper body) .. or BBC bis and tris! then tonight is circuit class!!:7

OK .. have a great one .. :7 .. will BBL to check on you girlies!

Hey girls!

Unfortunately, a migraine came on as I was getting ready for work this morning. Ugh. I took some Excedrin before I left and crossed my fingers that I’d make it through. I did but taught with the lights off all day. The kids were actually very understanding and cooperative. I’m feeling good enough to keep my dinner plans but am glad I did my stretch workout in the AM!

Wendy :: Glad the Mucinex is doing the trick to get that stuff up…How’d Joey make out at the doc?…Post-HM lunch sounds good.

Di :: which movie did you see?…how’d you like the BBC Full Body?

Laura :: WOO-HOO on the Waaaaaaaaaaar Eagle victory!! Other than today’s migraine, I am feeling good. I had a bug last Monday but blew it out of my system relatively quickly with Airborne & vitamin C…yes, I agree about BF…that is the sense I got…that she is torn…and that she won’t be able to resist his will… she says she doesn’t want it to be this way but the impression I get is that she feels powerless to do anything against it…it’s just very hard for me to understand b/c she is NOT someone who is usually weak in any respect…but for him, she is. Though I hope it can change at least somewhat for the better and I’d like to be optimistic, there's a part of me that doesn't have very high expectations. I'm guessing it’s a pattern that’s going to continue – she disappears, resurfaces, disappears again. Although I know her SO is behind this, you are right – SHE has decided to allow it to be this way. I nodded throughout your post. And yes, it is sad. And it’s interesting -- there is something that seems sad about her. I would think she would be happy to have moved in with him and taken a step even closer to marriage, which is what I know she wants. She just seems like a conflicted person somehow. I cannot totally put my finger on all that is going on here, but something is not quite right.

Ange :: how’s your day goin’?

We just got home from the movies where we say Game Plan. It was a very cute movie and pleny of funny moments.

I ended up doing MM and LIC cardio only timesaver. I'm such a klutz-I twisted my ankle and actually fell on my step during the workout. My ankle is a little sore but I'm sure it will be fine. At least I was alone in my basement and not in a step class!!

Cathy-Sorry to hear about your migraine. I hope it dissipates soon.

Laura-Congratulations on your team. You know it was a great game when you lose your voice!!!!

Angie-Where are you missy?

Hi girls

Typical Monday!}( It was another busy day at work and then I left a bunch of stuff on my desk b/c I had to get home early to w/o before I had to make a 4:30 basketball meeting at school for Cody. I didn't want to be working out late on a Monday to start my week out late right from the get-go if ya know what I mean. So, I ditched work.....I'll go in tomorrow to clean up everything. Now that my house is organized, I need to spend some extra time at work anyways to try and get things organized there too.

I did GS BSB and CM2. Cathe sure makes my arms scream! I can't wait to see what torture she has coming via UPS this week. :+

Cathy - Congrats on that pound! That's great....it sure does seem like WW is agreeing with you.
Did you ever get that dress mishap figured out? Is it still lost in the UPS system somewhere?
I totally agree that your friend needs to demand the breathing room. Does she have self-confidence problem? It just sounds to me like someone who is so eager to be married and who closes themselves off from family and friends may have a problem there. What does her family think of this guy? It sure does sound fishy. Maybe with the lunch on Thursday you can get a better idea of what is going on. Little by little, I'm sure you will get more insight and maybe figure this weird situation out.
Boooo on the migrane! Hope you're feeling better tonight. Glad the kids were kind and cooperative.

Diana - I have to go to conferences tomorrow night. Cody's should be fine, but Cam....... Let's just say I'm not looking forward to it.
That's great news about Jarod.....I'll bet he'll be super excited when you spill the beans.
DOH! A fall on the step is a bummer for sure. Been there....done that.:7 I hope the ankle is OK.

Laura - Glad your game was exciting. My race was not really all that great.....stupid Jeff Gordon won.}(
Have a killer circuit class tonight.

Wendy - I did have some sorness this morning from fullbody....surprise, surprise. I even modified the push ups to bent knee. So what are you gonna do if Cathe's new w/o come out on Thurs or Fri and you HM is Saturday??? Are you gonna risk the DOMS that close to HM or are ya gonna wait?

See ya later girls

Angie

Diana :: yikes! Sorry about the wipeout on the step. Hope your ankle isn't too sore...Thanks - I'm OK. Not 100% but OK. This migraine stuff is becoming old news. *lol*

Angie :: see, and those are the times when I'm jealous that you're your own boss!...Great combo you did today...The dress was never tracked down. I think it was delivered to the wrong house. A couple of weeks after that incident, they delivered someone else's package to me. At any rate, VS shipped a new dress, and I rec'd it in the meantime...I think that's the one I'm going to wear to the ceremony...My first inclination would be to say no, she does not have a self-confidence problem. She is gorgeous and turns heads and gets hit on all the time. Which I imagine is part of the problem b/c SO is 12 years older than she is. HE is the one with the insecurity issues. I think she started off wanting to please him b/c he'd been through a messy divorce where his ex was belitting him constantly. He was under so much stress that when my friend began a relationship with him, I think she just wanted to be easygoing and do whatever she could to make him happy. Unfortunately, I think she went too far and created a monster. Obviously, though, the jealous/possessive side of him was there before she got there. I think he just let his hair down so-to-speak once she'd moved in and gotten settled. Her mom isn't so much in the picture; her dad, whom she's very close to, seems to like him a lot. However, I also know she doesn't tell her dad certain things. The thing is, he (her SO) is a really likeable guy, and I think, a good person at heart. This is a side of him that I didn't know existed...I don't want to paint him as a maniac of some kind, but again, I know it's not truly healthy, either. I think under normal circumstances, a guy would not be threatened by his girlfriend's girlfriends and would encourage those relationships to continue and thrive. I think you make a good point, though...why IS she so desperate to do whatever he pleases? Time will tell, I guess, what's really going on w/ the whole situation.

I just received my shipment notice....the 4day split is due to arrive on Wednesday. Do we have a plan, what are we going to do first.....I can't wait.!!!!

I hope everyone else received their shipping notice too. I'll probably get my last since I'm furthest away. But I have a new workout to try on Thursday!!!!

Hi again girls

Cathy - yup, being your own boss does have it's advantages....but there are disadvantages that can drive me absolutely nuts! That being said, I also wouldn't change it for anything. After being on both sides of it, you sure do see things differently....I'm glad I have had the opportunity to see both perspectives.;-)
It would be interesting to know what drew BF to him to begin with. Maybe a nurturing personality? Does she want kids? Does he? Kids would certainly throw a whole new wrench in the mix wouldn't it? Does she have brothers or sisters in the picture? I do get where you are coming from with the "he's not a maniac, but not truly healthy" thing.....I went thru this with my BF as well. I don't think my BF has quite as possessive of a DH, but she totally leaned on him for everything. I was concerned and hurt too I guess about it. If something would have happened to him, where would that leave her? They work in the same business together that would dissolve if he were to become incapacitated since he is the Doc and she is the nurse of their family practice. Not that she couldn't find a job, but it would be a tall order right after having to go thru that kind of emotional trauma. Luckily, so far everything has worked out, but I wouldn't want to walk that kind of tight rope. I like the broader safety net with lots of people to lean on when/if I should need it. It just seems weird to me that not everyone would want that.

I got this joke in my email today, and it made me laugh......I figured since it was short and sweet and right down the CABs alley, I would post it.


MY LIVING WILL

Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and
I said to her,

I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine
and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'

She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine.

She's such a bitch.....


Night all

Angie
