CABS & Abs....sunday funday

RunninTeach

Gm, girls! :7

Since I did so very little in the way of work yesterday (what a GLORIOUS mental break it was...ahhh! :) :) :)), I need to hunker down today.

Workout will be a Firepower premix + a run. Reminds me, gotta charge my Nano.

Di :: yeah, I haven't lost much, but energy-wise, I'm still not there yet. Guess I underestimated the toll of the stress. So you're makin' some sweet OT this weekend! Hope you can relax a little today.

Have a great Sunday!

Good Morning Sunday Cabbers!:)

Cathy: Glad you were able to relax y'day and get some "me" time. I'm sure you'll get a ton done today now that you are feeling fresh and relaxed. :) So were you able to catch a good movie? Enjoy FP and your run today. What distance are you aiming for? The party y'day was good. My SIL makes this killer champagne punch that gets me looped in no time. I had a few glasses when we first got there and was feeling little pain. I didn't drink TOO much though so I felt fine long before we left except for the fact that I was tired.

Diana: YAY for Jerod! Glad he did well at football y'day. :) Sorry about your having to work this weekend but I guess the $$$ is nice, huh? Okay, I'll work on a rotation for you. :+

My plan for today is to do PUB Back and Biceps and perhaps some abs.

BBL!:)
 
Wendy :: Glad you had fun at the party. :)...Yeah, the movie yesterday was excellent...based on a true story about a group of concentration camp prisoners who were forced to counterfeit money for the Nazis...Actually, I still feel tired, but I am planning on a productive day, anyway...Not necessarily aiming for specific mileage today since I haven't been running much this winter...this'll be a test to see if the elliptical has kept me fit for running or not...I'm also dealing with a wonky ankle, so I'll be happy with a conservative three. We'll see. Enjoy PUB & your ab work.

Cathy: Be careful with that ankle! Hope it doesn't wonk out on you during the run!:)

Forgot to mention that I have some nice shoulder and tricep DOMS from y'day's 4DS work out. It's not bad. Just enough to remind me how hard I worked y'day. ;) I enjoy DOMS like this. :) I haven't done a full pyramid cycle in ages so perhaps tmrw I'll have DOMS in my back and biceps. If I remember I want to add some pull/chin ups to my back work today. Not sure what abs I'll do yet but I can figure that out at the last minute. }(

I think we are going to head out to Kohls after my work out. DH needs a pair of chenos and I am still on the hunt for affordable athletic and nice looking sneakers to be worn casually. Who knows what else I will pick up while I'm there but that's the only thing on my list! ;)

It's really dreary looking out there today. I hope it's not cold too. :-(

Oh well, off I go. BBL!
 
Morning fellow cabbers

Boy has this weekend flown by. So glad it's not completely over yet though. I've got some cleanmax to get into this morning, then a cookout with friends this afternoon. It'll probably be another bad eating day. I didn't workout yesterday b/c I didn't have time and wont w/o today b/c I don't do Sundays.:7 It's been a long time that I haven't worked out 2 days in a row. I'm givig myself one more off day and then it's hardcore on Monday with the start of P90X.:eek: I'm sure I will be subbing in there but I'm aiming to only sub out 2 workouts per week to keep the whole concept intact.
Yesterdays weather was beautiful....sunny and 64! Ahhhhhh, now that's more like it. Today is supposed to be a lovely repeat.:) WE lost a ton of snow yesterday....hopefully we'll lose more today....I can actually see parts of my yard now.

Wendy - spiked punch?:9 That's my kind of party! Wow....big B-day parties for sure.
Did the DOMS catch up to you after all?

Cathy - I didn't know you had ankle problems. Nothing too serious I hope.
So glad to hear you and your stylist patched things up. There's another source of stress gone.;) I'm assuming then that you got a great cut?
Best of luck getting thru that grading pile today. Hopefullly I can get thru my pile of papers on the countertop....if not, I'm gonna have to find a big box to put them in so I can clean off my counter.:7 Do I know how to cheat or what?:p

Diana - Football already? I wish Cody had something to do now. He's getting ready for something.....hopefully baseball will work out for him but if the games are on Saturdays we're not going to let him play since we should be camping most Saturdays. Hopefully we will be in the camper in 2 weeks! That's the plan...but we will need cooperative weather.
Does Jarod do baseball?
You have to work today too? Yuck! That'll make for a verrrryy long week eh?
We didn't go to a party yesterday. We hauled some finished lumber down to some friends of ours who are now on spring break and get to varnish all of it for their cabin. I do NOT envy their task! Then we delivered some firewood to my sis and BIL. So, basically we were running errands all day. It was a nice day for a ride.

OK girls....I gotta wrap up this book and get out the cleaning supplies. Have a great Sunday and I'll try to check back every now and then to see what you all are up to. Eat clean and exercise for me OK?????
 
Good Morning Ladies,

I slept in this morning but DH's cell phone woke us up. It was time to be up anyway but not a very nice way to wake up. I'm busy working on laundry. I wrote up a chore list for the kids so my house should be spic & span when I get home from work. (it better be)

I still plan on doing a long cardio this morning and starting BBC tomorrow. I have to be to work at 1pm today. I am a salaried employee and do not get OT. I'm hoping to get a comp day or 2 out of it.

Cathy-enjoy your run, no matter how long or short it is. I ran a couple weeks ago and ended up walking a bit. I haven't ran all winter so it didn't surprise me, but it was still a little disappointing. You don't get the impact of running when using the elliptical and it takes a bit for the body to get back into the swing of running.

Wendy-Champagne punch sounds wonderful. We have family birthday parties for the kids and their friends are welcome to. We like to go bowling, skating etc. As the kids got older it became too expensive to pay for everyone so we would have a family party at the house and give BD child the option of Money or taking them and their friends somewhere. Thanks for putting together a rotation for me.

Angie-you were busy yesterday. Jerod is playing flag football, tackle is in the fall. He said he wants to play baseball this year but he will be on a rec team. He's played competetive and rec just provide the level of play he's used to.

Laura-I think you're gambling this weekend. Hope you come back with lots of dough!!

Have a great day.

Hola, ladies!

I am done my lesson plans and will begin grading momentarily but have to revise my workout plans. It’s raining and windy out there, so no run. Onto Plan B.

Wendy :: have fun @ Kohl’s. Let us know what you score.

Angie :: enjoy the cookout ~ sounds like perfect weather for it! You’re overdue for some springlike temps.…I wouldn’t say I have ongoing ankle problems, but they are weak and I have a tendency to turn them, which I did Tuesday morning at school. I’m used to it, so it’s not a big deal. But strangely, the ankle along with my calf felt achy & sore last night. Odd to get delayed pain like that…I truly had no time this past month to be stressed by the hair issue after the initial upset, but absolutely, I am glad things are OK there. Nothing drastic, just a trim...Hmm, I am familiar with that method of cleaning. :) …I know I won’t finish everything today, but hopefully I can make a good dent.

Guess I’d better get moving!

ETA: Hey Di :: so what's going on at work that the weekend hours were needed? I've run only a handful of times this winter and can't wait to resume. Were it not for NB, I would've picked up with spring running a bit sooner. I've missed it but not enough to change my attitude toward the dreadmill.

My computer is driving me nuts. Every few seconds the cursor will - on its own - pop up somewhere else on the screen, and I'll inadvertently type over something previously written. It's absolutely maddening!

Hey Girlies-back for a quick check in from work.

Well I was here at 1 and they are not ready for us to start testing. We are testing a new software application that we hope to go live with on April 22nd. I hope to get out of here around 7pm so I will have plenty of time to prepare my food for the week.

I was only able to fit in 75 min of my 90 min cardio w/o. I still feel good about getting in a workout and finishing up the laundry. The kids were getting busy with the housework when I left.

Cody was taking back the recycle stuff and there was a ton of it. The kids haven't taken it back for about a month. I've also started recycling more than I used. We've always done office paper, newspapers, magazines, paperboard etc. Recently I've started recycling plastics. I buy detergents, shampoo's etc in bulk so I have big plastic containers that I don't want to put into the landfills.

Wendy-hope you find great deals at Kohl's. They had all their workout clothes on sale last weekend. I was looking for a spring tops but was pretty disappointed with the selection. I'll keep checking back though. They also opened a new shopping center near me and this weekend is the grand opening. I hope to check it out next weekend.

Cathy-I'm actually thinking of giving the "dreadmill" another try. My fitness challenge this week for the meltdown class is to attend 3 "body" classes. BodyStep, BodyPump or BodyVive which are all offered at the rec ctr.

Angie-Hope you are having fun at the cookout. The weather here is pretty nice, in the mid 50s, sunny and breezy.

Hey Girls.

Well when we went out shopping this morning all I got were 2 pairs of cute capri sweats that were bargain basement price at Old Navy for $3.00 each!!!

DH and DS went out for a couple of hours tonight and I stayed behind for some solo time. The power ended up going out on me so off I took to Target. Hey, I didn't WANT TO GO THERE but it but it was the only place open at 8pm on a Sunday!:p I picked up 3 cereal storage containers, a plastic cake plate with cover, 2 wicker type trays for my bathroom, a pink duffle bag for the gym and a Cars water bottle for DS. Everything was cheap. I'm happy! :)

This morning's work out fried me. I did SS 6 min abs after PUB Back and Bi's and then did 10 pull ups and 10 chin ups to finish it off. I will continue doing the pryamids this week until all body parts have been hit.

Hope everyone is having a good night.

I'll catch up on personals in the morning!

Nighty night!:*
 
Hi girls

Whew! Whatta day.:) It was packed full of fun, food, and CABs.;-) OMG my frig is full of food! We'll be having leftovers for the next week. I worked all morning to get the house cleaned up. I'm so glad when everyone leaves and I'm left to enjoy the clean house.;-) We had a great time.
Tomorrow is an early one for me since we have another safety meeting. I have crockpot oatmeal going right now so I can start my week off better with my eating. Then, it'll be home to sweat it out with Tony.}(

Diana - I hate getting woke up by the phone.x( I hardly ever answer it when someone calls too early....or I do answer it and whoever called wishes they hadn't.:p
Glad to hear you worked out for me. I needed that!
I recycle too. I take all my stuff into the shop when I work and empty it into bins and then I empty the big bins when they get full. I generally have a car full once every month or so. It's kind of a PIA but I hate to throw stuff away. I figure if someone else can get use of it, then that's where it needs to go.

Cathy - How'd that dent go?
I'm not a big fan of Dell, but I keep getting emails that they are running specials on their laptops. Maybe take a peek on their site? Hope you can find one that will work for you. I know having a laptop that acts up is a real drag!:-(

Wendy - I see you managed to spend some cha-ching, and got some great bargains too!;-) Thatta girl!!

One more load of laundry to go then I'm off to bed. Catch ya all tomorrow girls.
