CABs & Abs --> Sunday of Ghost Town Weekend

[RunninTeach]

Good morning, Di and anyone else who might be around today!

Are we back from our getaways yet? Hope you had fun!

Di :: what was the w/out your friend loaned you to preview?...My DVD player is finicky, too. I know you once advised me to get a cleaning kit, but I never did buy one. I don't think of it when I'm at the store http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/grouch/th_duh.gif , but then I remember the next time the player gives me trouble. Some of Cathe's older DVDs I almost always have to play on my laptop...

How was the game and sweet 16 party?

I use a Garmin. I started with a 201 but that has PC-compatibility problems, so I recently upgraded to the 305, which also has a HRM, and gave the 201 to my dad. I love it.

I found that it was hard to eat that much food at breakfast y'day, where not long ago, it would not have been difficult for me to polish the whole thing off, and then *still* eat a solid lunch and dinner. Last night, even post-run, I wasn't ravenous. I had a protein smoothie for dinner and a WW ice cream bar a little after that. I still have 25 of my flex points and tomorrow is my reset day, so I think I did really well this week. I hope it shows on the dang scale!!!

So Ange :: do tell about the reunion!

Wendy :: Did mama buy a new pair of running shoes this weekend?

Laura :: hope it has been a quiet and uneventful weekend for you and your friend.

Nancy :: hi! If you're reading this, we'd love to hear from you. Miss you checking in.

Have a GREAT day, girls!

I don't know why I'm up this early - I couldn't sleep in. But that's OK b/c I brought home a crate-full of grading and have to write my lesson plans. Tomorrow we have an in-service, and Friday I have a professional development day, so it'll be a 3-day week with the kiddos. Won't be too hard to plan for. But still, it'd be great to knock it all before noon. At some point, I'll be heading out for a run.

I decided to get out there early as the temps'll be in the 80s again today. Put in a short 3 miler and will get to the abs in a little bit.

I think I'm gonna head over to Hollywood Tans today and get a one-month membership. I have never fake-baked before and know it's not healthy, but I'm looking at it as one-time thing for the wedding cruise. I'd rather not be pasty white in all the photos, and I just don't trust myself with the lotions.

Uh, yeah, so I'm here by myself carrying on a conversation. *lol*

Just HAD to share...I weighed myself this morning (official weigh-in is tomorrow) and am down 5 lbs. this week!

And BTW, have any of you tried the Temptations line from Bath & Body? They have 3-in-1: shower gel, shampoo, bubble baths in FOOD flavors. I have the Pumpkin Pie Paradise and Cinnamon Bun Heaven. They also come in lotions, too. Smells HEAVENLY! I know some of you have started your x-mas shopping already...these would make great stocking stuffers!

Here I am Cathy!! DH and I lingered in bed this morning watching The Fugitive and drinking our coffee. I just finished a bowl of Fiber one with one scoop protein powder and fresh strawberries. Yum Yum.

Jerod's team lost the football game.x( It was the dirtiest game I've seen all year. The other team had a player that was punching our kids and knocking the wind out of them. He layed out 6 of our players and was not called on it once. Our coach stepped up and asked for the puncher to be removed from the game. They did not remove him but he did stop punching the kids. Jerod had a great game, played the whole game, sacked the QB!!! We are very proud of him and his team. Although they won't be going to the superbowl, they still have a game next weekend.

My nieces sweet 16 party was good. She had at least 125 guests including friends and family. It was nice to see some of dh's cousins that we haven't seen in a while.

Wow, 5lbs is awesome! I'm lucky to lose .5 to 1 lb per week and many times I'm up about the same. It's a constant struggle for me. Keep up the good work!

I have not tried the temptations line but I do love Bath & Body. I have already started my xmas shopping as I have a large family and not much money.

Hi to Wendy, Laura, Angie and Nancy. Hope you are all having a great day.

Hi Diana! Glad someone made it to the thread. It was pretty lonely earlier.

Sorry about Jerod's team's loss, but it sounds like he had an oustanding game! I cannot believe the ref(s) missed a kid punching others like that. Hello, get some glasses! How awful. And his coach should not have tolerated it.

WOW! That's a big Sweet 16 party.

Thanks! I lost 5 the first week (which seemed like a lot) and then backslid a bit with that 1 lb. gain. But I was quite surprised at the numbers I saw today. I hope it stays that way and is not merely some kind of water weight fluctuation. That would be a BUMMER!

Oh I forget to tell you the dvd that isn't working-it's step sweatfest and looks really fun to me. It skips and freezes during the warmup and at the end-well I think it's at the end. Funny thing, it works it my computer.

I haven't done a darn thing all day, except complain that the house isn't clean etc. The house really needs my attention and I simply don't want to do it. That is the sad truth.
