Good morning, girlies! :7

Time to catch up. I will be playing it by ear w/ workouts from here on out. I was in the zone all day yesterday and could not break away. The anxiety of making the deadline is there looming over me. Need to get ahead. Today I have to go to school to get the student work I left behind.

Wendy :: hope you slept better last night.

Laura :: so sorry you’re dealing with another stone! I hope it's a small one that passes quickly without too much more pain.

Di :: I hesitate to enable on something that’s so expensive, but I do think this is more than a fad. It really gives me some intense lower body DOMS...Poor little things. I hope they're better soon!...Yes, I am off this week.

Angie :: why, yes, I did enjoy a CAB yesterday evening as I worked. :) Yes, the bells and the workouts are steep! But for me, the variety is worth it. I keep reading about people dropping fat quickly when training with kettlebells. I suppose b/c it combines cardio with functional strength. The core gets a good workout, too...Good luck today with the Wii! I hope you score it.

OK, girls, have a GREAT day! I will be chained to this thing, writing my arse off. :7

Good Morning!

Just popping in quickly to say today's work out plan is an SS work out and Ab Jam.

Cathy: Hey if you write your *ARSE* off then what will you do with those assless chaps you have!!!:7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Gotta get ready for work now so I'll be back this afternoon!:)

BFN!
 
Hiya girls

It's snowing and now the weatherman says up to 5 inches by days end. Grrrrrrrrr!
My glutes and hammies are on fire. I knew after my w/o yesterday I was gonna be feelin' it for a while. I think I'm gonna do S&H C&B when I get home from Wii shopping. I hope there's not a big line o' people waiting for the Wii along with me.
I'd better get dressed and ready to go. I'll let you all know how the hunt goes......

Cathy - I hope those creative juices are running in high gear today. IA when you are in the zone you don't want to break it up. Hope you find your way there today.:)

Wendy - Have fun with the muchkins today. *lol* re: a$$less chaps.:D
How's your clients doing BTW?

Hi Di and Laura - Have a great day girls!

Hello Ladies .. and good morning!!

No passing of the stone yet ..but did get in a workout last night so I am happy .. back is killing me and have a bit of blood .. so it won't be long!

Cathy - I had me a couple CABS last night too .. just had one heck of a day .. and class was a STRESSfull night .. newbies .. it was complete chaos!! Packed class and the newbies came in late .. and set up too close to some people .. chatterboxes and being silly .. GAWD I hate that!! My VBF looked at me b/c I was close to loosing it at one point and she stepped in to "arrange" them .. aahhhh!! I took no mercy on them though!!}(

Wendy .. how are you liking the hair today?? I don't like mine either until I can fix it myself .. have not had a perm since I was a teen .. thank goodness I don't have to have them now!! Now I highlite which is almost a bigger pain than anything!!

Di .. do tell about the meltdown class ... I love hearing about new ideas! OH .. and OMG .. your heavy leg workout puts mine to shame .. YOWZA!!! way to go girl!! I bet you have legs of steele!!

Angie .. good luck on the elusive Wii hunt!! MORE snow .. bless your heart!! Yuck ... well it was 30 when I woke up .. a drastic change from the beautiful weather we have been having . . I wore a sweater .. but it is supposed to climb back up into the 60's so I will be burning up this afternoon .. then by the weekend it is supposed to be in the 80's!! :eek: .. as they say .. you know you live in the South when you use the heat and the A/c in the same day!!!:7

OK .. no lunch WO b/c of the back .. today is DH AND my boss's B-day! I already surprised DH w/his present and he is on evenings so I won't get to see him!:-( . but we will make up for it this weekend .. maybe by then I will feel better also! But gotta run and find something for the boss .. (I am a last minute kinda gal)

Have a great one .. and I will BBL to see what everyone is up to!!:7
 
Oh .. Angie .. LOVE the name ..VERY cool!!

I need to get tech-wise and get me a cool glittery name tag!!:)

Hey .. think I did it .. check it out!!!
 
Haaaa Wendy. Let us not forget is it YOU who owns the arseless chaps---not I! :7 I cannot even IMAGINE hangin’ my tush out there for public view. Egads!

Ange :: So, didja get it? And didja check for kettlebells?…thumbs up on the new flashy siggy.

Laura :: I can just see you resisting the urge to kill the rookies…hey, here’s an idea: ever think of getting PIA to take one of your classes? That way you can inflict some real pain!…love your new siggy, too – cool font…happy b’day to DH and the boss man…And LOTS of healing, anti-stone vibes comin’ your way. You know, CABs cure all.

I did a lot of writing this morning, so one of my portfolios is really shaping up. Then I ran out to the post office to mail Wendy's Wii and drove out to school to pick up that student work example I was missing. I needed it for another portfolio entry, or I'da been seriously screwed. Am relieved I could get into the building, and it was indeed right there in my files. I've just finished up the Chang's I ordered for takeout (*burp*) and will likely take a quick snooze before diving back in. I think I ate too much.

Hope you're all having a GREAT day!

Hi Ladies,

My legs sure are sore today. I did a double meltdown class to make up for one of my missed classes. Wouldn't yah know, it was leg day from hell. The class started out with 10 mins of running, walking up and down the set of stairs 3 times (holding 2 15lb db, run around the track 3 times, back downstairs for db lunges, db squats, repeat stairs w/weight and 3 times around the track then on to leg curls, leg presses, and calf presses-repeat stairs w/weight and 3 times around the track then on to leg curls, leg presses, and calf presses, one more round of stairs w/weights and 3 times around the track. My legs were fried. Thankfully we finally moved on to ab work on ball and using a med ball. Then I stayed for the second class but did upper body weights instead.

This morning I did GS BSB and will either run or do the elliptical at lunch today. Finally my stomach is feeling back to normal after the cheesecake indulging on Sunday.

Cathy-I bet you are counting down the minutes until you send of your NB work. You seem to be on a roll-good for you. You have to take advantage of those times when they present themselves. I plan on having a CAB in your name when you mail it off!! Keep up the good work. BTW, I'm stopping at Target tonight to look at kb's. What workouts and where did you get the KB workouts.

Wendy-Well AbJam sounds fun anyway:) When can I expect the torture rotation from the TFH?? Where did you get the bands for P90X? I only have one and it says 20lb's.

Angie-Sorry about the yucky weather. We are having a warming up this week, temps today and tomorrow are mid to high 60's. I sure hope you score that wii!!! Love the glitter name. I need to figure out how to add an avatar and a new signature.

Laura-well I gave you the scoop on the meltdown class. I used to take a kickboxing class at a rec ctr that had stairs outside and at the midway point of the class, we would run stairs. I hope you pass that dang stone and start feeling better ASAP. Happy BD to DH.

Happy Tuesday Girls!!

Diana
 
Hey Di! That does sound like leg torture. Sheesh! WTG. Thanks for the encouragement...I so appreciate it! And the CAB in my name, too. :) I know you rarely indulge!...I like Iron Core Kettlebell #2 (I found that at Dick's - Target has IC#1. Which is OK but not as good as #2, IMO.) But the BEST workout that I've seen so far, though, is Art of Strength Providence. You can order through the Art of Strength website or Amazon. The shipping with AoS is pretty fast.

OK, now I'm REALLY going to catch some zzz's for just a bit.

DI ... GEEZE .. instead of legs of steel you should have legs of mush after that torture!! YIKES .. I hurt just thinking about it .. Wish I could partake in a meltdown class .. it would probably put me to shame!!!:7
 
Hey all

Well, very very very long story short.....the Wii just wasn't meant to be today. The stupid snow storm and my impatience is to blame.:-( x( I guess I'll let the kids wait it out next Tuesday. Hopefully by then this $#@&%* snow will stop!}(
Anyways, now that I'm in a crappy mood I'm gonna go and take it out on S&H so I'm sure the DOMS will be present yet again, but with a different muscle group for sure. My legs and butt are still screamin' at me from yesterday's workout.

Cathy - Nah, WM doesn't have kettlebells. I think I'll probably hold off until after STS. My basement is getting kinda full of w/o stuff.
Glad you got what you needed from school. Hope you are feeling spry after that nap and get pluggin' away at more portfolio writings.

Laura - Too funny about SIL.....she must be afraid of blood. *lol* Or, she didn't want to see you go to jail.:7 If those girls aren't serious about working out with you, I'm sure they won't be there long. They probably have screamin' muscles today.}(
Nice siggy line.:)
That kinda stinks that you don't get to see DH tonight on his B-day.:( I'm sure you'll catch up soon.
So what did you end up getting your boss?? Is he hard to buy for?

Diana - Ya, I'd have sore legs too (or jello legs) after what you did yesterday. Ouch!:eek:
Ohhhhhhhh - you with 60's and Laura with 80's weather is making me soooooo jealous!! Michigan weather this year is just relentless. Don't get me wrong I love snow.....in the winter....but it's at the end of March already. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr And then with it being responsible for me not getting the Wii.....let's just say I've had it with this weather.

Off to take my frustrations out on Cathe.....I'm sure she won't mind.
 
Just wanted to report that S&H C&B and GB abs is done and I feel sooooo much better now.
The kids were not nearly as disappointed as I was about the Wii. Actually they are looking forward to going next week so they can stand in line. Works for me!:7 Just what I need......another excuse to go shopping. *lol*

Did you all see the blog update? I'm so stoked!!!!
 
Hi Girls.

Sorry I'm so late gettin' back to catch up with personals. I've been kinda lazy about it today. :-(

Ang: Sorry you haven't scored a Wii yet.x( Thanks for the heads up on the blog update. I haven't looked. I'll have to go check it out. Good job with S&H today! Let us know what the DOMS is like in the morning!}( My BF has lost 30+ pounds so far! The other gal hasn't done nearly as well but she also has not been as committed.

Laura: I am lovin' the hair. Had a hard time with it this morning before work so I just threw it up in a pony tail. No big deal. This afternoon after my shower I did it and came out great! :) Hope your stone passes soon.

Diana: I bought my first set of tubing/bands from fwonline but recently invested in the B-line bands from Beachbody. They go from 15 to 50 pounds of resistance if you buy the full set. I also bought the attachment kit so that I can do all kinds of stuff with them. The cheap set I had I gave to my BF. I am working on your rotation this week and will get it to you over the weekend. :)That meltdown class sounds like it was the class from hell! Holy cow! LOL I think the girl that runs that class is the TFH, not me!}(

Cathy: Love the new avitar! When/where was that pic taken? I thought of you on Saturday when we went to the mall. They have a PF Changs on the grounds. I told DH you said it was really good food and that we are going to have to go there for dinner one night when we don't have the little guy with us. :9 I hope you got a decent nap but set the alarm and got up to continue working! Thanks for mailing the Wii out! I'm so excited! DH and I will be up until goodness only knows what time playing that thing for the first week we have it!:7 :7 :7 I'll mail out your check tmrw!:)
SHHHHH...no one else is supposed to know that I own assless chaps!;)

K, I guess that about catches me up until tmrw!

C U in the morning ladies!
