Cabs & Abs---Tax your muscles time (Tues.)

[RunninTeach]

Morning, girls!

Yesterday I ran out of time to post on this thread. I had to make it an unplanned rest day to finish up the last of the grading. I'm happy to say the pile is officially GONE! Tonight will be a KB workout.

Saw the RT thread, but it doesn't look like a reality for me. The site is blocked at my work and the internet service on my phone is pretty slow, so registering seems not too likely. However, I would be happy to meet y'all at the Five Points Diner for b'fast.

Have a great day, girls!

Today is supposed to be plyoX, but I think I'm going to do a CC instead. They both offer similar calorie burns for me and CC actually taxes my lungs more. DOH! Did I say taxes??? :7

Hiya Cathy - Good to see ya! Glad that dreaded grading pile is gone for you. That's got to feel great!
Has this site always been blocked at work for you? That stinks but I can relate, since I don't have internet at work either.
I looked at my calendar and guess what? I have camping plans with friends on that weekend in July and in August the following week we will be going to the race at MIS. August would still be do-able, but I really need time beforehand to get everything ready.:-( Maybe I can re-schedule with my friends on the camping, but if I remember correctly that was the only weekend that worked for both of us. Ugh! I hardly ever have plans. I can't believe that both these weekends are not very good for me. But I'm not giving up yet!!

So, when's Wendy coming home?

I think I caught up with everyone yesterday. I'll be around today to chat if anyone's around.

Hi Cabbers!

I'm back! I got home last night but was too pooped to even log on, let alone post. I'm still draggin' this morning but have every intention of getting my bloated, lazy arse to the gym for a run anyway! LOL

So how was everyone's weekend? I had fun. It was all good. Went far too fast though! My aunt took a bunch of pics. I am going to have her email me a few and I'll put 'em on my picture trail for y'all to look at.

I'm not sure about the Cathe RT myself. The date in July is likely no good for me. August seems fine but I'm not sure it's the kind of thing I want to do yet. Perhaps I'm crazy but I really need to think about it before I commit...

Alrighty...I gotta get a move-on. Lots to do today.

I'll be back later though!

Missed you girls!:*

BFN!

Hi Ladies,

Last night was my last official meltdown class. We weighed, measured, and did the 3 min step test, max pushups, situps and flexibility testing. My weight is exactly the same as it was when I started. Our instructor missed a class so she's having a makeup class on Wednesday and the party is on Thursday.

I've decided to cancel my ww membership. I can't seem to get away from work to get to the meetings which are key for me. I've been spending $40/month for the past year and that money could be better spent. I'm going to focus on using fitday pc and BFFM guidelines.

Yesterday I did Imax 3 in the morning, ran 4-5 miles at lunch, and had my meltdown class last night. My ankles and feet hurt a bit this morning. I bought new running shoes a couple weeks ago but never took them out of the box. They are now in my w/o bag in my car! I did much better running yesterday-only walked a couple times to drink some water! I may try to run again as the temps are in the 70's again today.

I hate the way the RT registration works. I still think they should let everyone sign up and do a lottery drawing. I have no idea what will be going on at work when it's time to sign up. It's just not reasonable to think that everyone will be sitting at their pc and able to log in at a certain time. I would love to go but I doubt that it will ever happen for me. Rant over...

I will be heading down for PUB this morning. I plan to go as heavy as possible. I'll also be doing the abs first instead of struggling to hold myself up after heavy bicep work.

Cathy-glad to hear your grading is done! I'm sure that's a relief. Enjoy your KB w/o tonight. You've got me interested in running more now that you've signed up for the chicago marathon. Well it's not that I'm not interested, it just hurts too much. I'm taking it slow and easy and expect to back to my normal 5-8 miles in no time.

Angie-We don't have any summer plans or vacations planned. We are supposed to be going to Hawaii but with the cost of everything going up we are wondering if we should be saving our money. I'll be very disappointed if we don't go. I told DH if we don't go, then I want to spend the 5K on a new wedding ring. I think I could get something really nice with that kind of money. I'd rather go on the trip.

Wendy-Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Can't wait to hear all about and see some new pics. By the way, I put up some pics of Zach before prom and one of the baby girls. Take a peek when you have a chance.

Laura-what kind of torture do you have planned for today? Honestly, I think we should have our own RT near you so you can torture us for the weekend and enjoy some cabs too!

I better get my butt downstairs before it's too late to w/o this morning.

Have a great day ladies,

Diana

Morning Ladies!

Welcome back .. it sure was lonely in here yesterday!!;(

Di . . "Yesterday I did Imax 3 in the morning, ran 4-5 miles at lunch, and had my meltdown class last night" ... OMG .. I had to read that twice .. woman you are insane .. ... maybe you should come down here and teach my class .. LOL .. b/c that my dear is one H### of a workout day!! YIKES

Cathy .. grading done!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYA .. doing a happy dance for you .. I know you are relieved!!

Wendy .. welcome back girl! Sounds like you had a fine time... can't wait to see the pics!

Angie .. thanks for hanging w/me a bit yesterday ... was begginning to wonder where my cyber pals were .. lol!!

I have had a LONG night .. I rarely fuss about DH .. but he did a doozy yesterday .. (he is on nights) and he lit the wood burning stove for heat .. went outside and left it .. came back in hours later and the house was filled w/smoke .. seems he didn't see this fancy candle I had on the stove .. and it melted down into the stove and flue .. OK .. I got home and the house was FILLED w/smoke .. it was horrible .. long story short .. he left for work .. and I was left to deal w/the mess .. I could not get the smoke out .. was scared to go to sleep b/c of smoke inhalation .. so I slept w/the windows open and my dogs w/me in my bedroom w/the doors covered .. OMG .. well I didn't sleep .. I was scared to death ..it was a long night .. and a cold one .. yes it got down to 32 last night .. and I had the windows open and no heat on .. I looked like an Eskimo .. DH got home this morning .. it was better but my house smells like a bar-b-que smoke house .. #$%!#$%@$#%x( x( x( x( needless to say I am NOT a happy camper .. I really don't know how I am going to get the smell out of the walls and furniture .. luckily the bedrooms are ok .. but the den, kitchen, and dining room are horrible!!x( x( DH got home this morning and tip toed around me .. he KNEW I had had it!!

OK .. now "my rant" is over .. {{{ shaking off the bad mojo }}}

Today will be shopping at lunch to find something to get the smell out of my house .. then tonight's class will be some sort of insane torture to take out my stresses (poor class) .... last night was 50 minutes advanced super step and 10 min. abs ...

OK .. I am going to try to get some work done .. my eyes are bloodshot - look like a druggie - and smell like I have been out smoking all night!x( :7 have a good one!:7

P.S. ...

re: RT ... July the 25 is my 22nd anniversary (if DH survives the smoke house incident)

and the 8th is right before we leave for our vacation in the Keys ..

so it is totally out for me!!;(

I would have loved meeting all of you and participating in the RT .. but the date are NOT doable!!;(

Hiya girls

CC#6 with Candace is done! The first 2 challenges in that one are enough to make me want to cough up a lung.x( :7 I'm a starvin' marvin now and am waiting for my flatbread pizza to cook. So, now I have the rest of the day to do laundry and possibly work on getting some garage sale stuff organized. I guess I should call my mom and figure out what the date of that will be.

Wendy - Welcome back! We missed you too. It sounds like you had a great time Can't wait to see some good time pics.
I thought you had been to a RT before. Or maybe that was when you and Cathy crashed one? I gotta admit, I'm a bit reluctant to go solo, but I'm sure I would be able to find some folks to hang with. If they are Cathe fans, they gotta be cool! I have to wait for BF to get back from Florida before I can see if we can change the camping date, but I'm thinking that probably ain't gonna happen.:-(

Diana - It sounds like perfect weather for a run. We are supposed to get into the 60's today and possibly 70's by the weekend. I'm doing the happy dance for sure. Mushroom season will be just around the corner!
OMG....I would be eating all the time if I spent the calories you do. Holy crap! I thought I hit one through the roof today with the CC workout I did, but that doesn't hold a candle to what you did. Rock on girl!
IA with the lottery concept on the RT. I think that would be much more fair. Great idea about having our own RT with Laura.....she'd kick our arse for sure. ;-) But the treats would be worth it!
Have you thought maybe about a less expensive trip? When we went to Cancun, the price was very reasonable as opposed to what I hear Hawaii costs. Maybe even a cruise??? I sure hope you get to go. I really should schedule something for DH and myself since we never had a honeymoon. But, our idea of a good time would be to pack up the 5th wheel and head to a race somewhere.

Laura - I'd be a bit peeved myself! Is it possible to leave the house opened up all day to air it out? I wish I had some more helpful advice for you. I sure hope the smell doesn't stick around too long. Those poor folks in your class tonight....I'll say a prayer for them....and for DH.

My pizza's almost done....gonna go eat!:9

Angie .. feel sorry for my class ... my little burned out brain has come up w/a new form of torture .. LOL .. going to combine 4 step - plyos - planks class w/my tall step (6 step) heavy weighted shaping class.. I have it kinda worked out on paper .. poor class!!

Yeah .. you better pray for DH .. he called 'complaining" about the smoke smell .. BUT .. he closed the windows back and turned on the heat pump .. WHY?????? WTH is he thinking .. I may kill him when I get home!!!x(

Biggest Looser Finale tonight .. I know you watch that .. can't wait for it to come on .. I am hoping Roger got to come back to the house .. he lives in a couple of towns down from us .. I am rooting for him or Ali .. she has worked her butt off!! Can't imagine her loosing any more weight though ... and Mark .. he looked down right sick the last show .. Roger looked 10 years younger!!

OK .. gotta go .. have a great one ... :7
