CABs & Abs ----> wednesday

[RunninTeach]

Morning, lovelies!

Sorry I didn’t get back…I was grading til about 10 last night.

Angie :: how much snow did you pick up? Sorry you’re still dealing with that. The exam is the first weekend in June. I did have a good day…it is a strange feeling. My supervisor (who is an NBCT and served as one of my mentors) came to visit me, and she said after the box is in, it’s almost like you don’t know what to do with yourself and for the first few days you’re not really *there*. Know that must sound weird, but it’s the absolute truth.

Di :: I read about the 70-car pilup on 70…hope you & your family are safe…How’s the soreness today? I know what you mean…I feel relieved about NB but don’t like the grading backup I’m in. Here’s hoping we get caught up with all we need to do this week.

Laura :: glad to hear about the stone but sorry about the cold…yep, that pretty much nails my system of organization…I make interesting discoveries all the time. …thank you for the congrats.

Wendy :: now THAT’S dedication…wtg!

Enjoy your day!

Good Morning Cabbers.

Well, DH and I rocked GH last night! We are about to tour Japan now. I think that's level 7 out of 8! }( :7

Cathy: So did you knock out lots of grading last night? Will you be doing FirePower tonight finally?

As much as I am enjoying the endurance lifting coupled with lots of fun cardio, I think I need to start getting a bit more serious again. I am also indulging in far too frequent CABS lately. SOMETHING is affecting me and I need to figure out what it is. I am flying down to FLA a week from TOMORROW for a family wedding and am wearing a pretty figure flaunting dress. I just CAN'T have this extra weight/bloat or whatever the heck it is on me when I am going to put on the dress! So...I am thinking of starting a mini 4DS rotation for the heavy lifting. I am not really in the mood to lift heavy but perhaps I need to. A week just might be enough time to work off the cr@p! I think I will do Mint Condition to wrap up the week and really seal the DOMS deal!}(

All of that being said, I will start today with 4DS Legs and ab work. I was going to do Rockin' Body lower body but I guess that will have to wait a couple of weeks now...Not sure if I'll add any cardio to my work out today. We'll see how I feel but it will be a short one if I do...or maybe I'll stretch with Tony again instead! }( :7

Sorry for rambling. I'll shut up now!

BB after work!

Hi Ladies,

Just poppin' in for a minute before I start my workout. I wasn't able to get to the gym yesterday so I'm doing 4DS Chest & Back and 30 min card of choice. I might do the elliptical since I haven't used it in several weeks. I might try to go for a short run today at lunch since the temps will be in the high 50's.

Cathy-Luckily for us, we don't have any snow down where I am. The 70 car pile up was caused by one semi that lost control and blocked all the lanes and the vehicles couldn't stop in time due to the icy conditions. I'm sure you'll be caught up the grading in no time.

Wendy-You just ran 10 miles, I hardly think you are carrying anything extra. However, you need to feel comfortable in your clothes so by all means, if heavy liftins is what works for you go ahead and do that. Is Mint Condition from the M&F hers mag? I need to check that out.

Laura-So glad you are okay. As you can tell, we were worried about you. Sorry about the cold. Hope you are feeling much better today.

Angie-Do you still have an extra child today? So you're tackling Imax today. I have to admit, I don't really care for the original Imax. It's the warmup I don't like-it seems to go on forever.

Time for me to get to it!

Have a great day ladies,

Diana

Morning Ladies!!

I managed to do a ball class last night .. changed it up and did upper body weights on the ball and lower body shaping on it .. combined w/the original ab work .. no planks or roll ins though got a bit dizzy!! Felt really weak .. so I cut it short .. went home and grabbed a hot bath .. downed some Nyquill and called it a night! :-( I had a low grade fever again this morning .. so I am taking Angie's advice and doing NOTHING today .. and hoping tommorrow I am more toward 100% of myself!

BL .. OMG .. that was THE best last night .. OK .. I cried .. ridiculous ..but I cried at the big ole guy getting the boot ... they were just pitiful! And this group has lost amazing weight .. can not wait till the finale!!

Wendy .. WOO HOO on the fabo race time! I KNEW you would ace it .. and I am sure you have nothing to worry about as far as extra anything on your body w/your running and weight work .. it's all in your mind babe!! You will rock the sexy dress!!

Cathy .. I imagine you do feel as though you are a little lost w/o racing for NB stuff .. you probably keep thinking there is something you are not doing .. it will pass soo enough! enjoy the down time .. HAHA .. as if your schedule has any down time!!

Di .. thanks for worrying about me .. sometimes I worry about myself! LOL .. think w/the stone thing my immune system took a hit and that is why I caught the crud ... seems when one thing hits you hard something else decided to take a shot while you are down ... (life is like that sometimes huh?) .. hey but I am one tough chik .. DH is amazed I am rebounding as I have ..

Angie ... still getting snow?? Today is around 72 .. and dreary .. high humidity and we are calling for a "chance" of rain .. I wish we would get a downpour and wash some of this freaking pollen away .. GEEZE ... that is one thing killing my sinuses!!

OK .. Ladies .. kick some extra butt exercising for me!! I am taking Dr. Angie's advice and resting today!! Have a great one .. and I will BBL to see what everyone is up to!!:7

Oh .. I forgot Wendy .. on the pups ... IF we are preggers .. I am hoping to keep one or two .. and sell the rest .. they are both registered .. I hate to say it .. but I will be one that won't want to part w/any of them!! The perfect scenerio would be for her to have 2 pups .. LOL .. I am hoping if she is preggers she will NOT have a big litter b/c they say the pups are so big it causes the females lots of problems and most have to be born by C-section .. I know terrible huh?

ANYWAY .. I have my doubts if she is pregnant .. b/c it seems we would have seen them "hook up" .. at some point .. but it could be that they hooked up while we were not there or at night .. who knows .. if it happens it happens! I am not one to push mother nature!!

We may spay her after this attempt .. she has a bad knee .. soooooo it may be for the best!!:7

Howdy Girls.

I didn't do 4DS legs after all. I just didn't have it in me.x( I opted for my original plan of the leg and ab work from Rockin' Body. It was definately endurance work but FUN and I felt the burn!

Off to the showers...Have to get to the accountant by 5 for tax-time!

BBL!

 

[RunninTeach]

Hey girls!

Di :: so were you able to run outside today?

Wendy :: I graded one set of papers. I have 85 short stories, 100 graffiti boards, 25 open-ended questions, 100 Socratic Circle grades, and after tomorrow 100 tests. :7 So uh, yeah. I'm pretty backed up. (Written pieces take awhile to grade. I only made it through one class last night.) I'm planning to work through Saturday and Sunday as the marking period closes out the end of next week...So maybe your body needs the break from heavy lifting?

Laura :: sending lots more healing vibes your way!!...Curious: do you plan out your routines or teach on-the-fly? I'm amazed you went ahead and taught a class even feeling like crud. What a trooper!

Wonder where Ms. Ange is this evening. Shout out to ya!

I'm tempted to shoot over to Ann Taylor Loft, but I'd better be good and do some grading.

Have a great night, ladies!

Evening girls

I've been milkin' Spring Break at home. I figured since I never did book a vacation, we might as well have some fun at home. So, I have been naughty with the CABs and have been playing the Wii. It's not easy to do that with CABs I tell ya! My tennis and bowling suffered greatly! :7
I did the original IMAX when I got home. IA with Di, the warm up does take forever but the whole workout is one helluva calorie burn. I much prefer #2 & #3 to the original, but that's what was on my schedule so I knocked it out.

Cathy - Thankfully the snow did not stick.x( It was in the 50's today and sunny all day.....Bout time! The snow is losing ground fast.
I completely understand the feeling, but it's been a while since I've felt that way. I remember studying for the state boards and thought I was gonna go crazy. Trying to cram 2 years of nursing material into a month was nerve racking. As it turned out, the exam was not as bad as I thought. But, afterwards, I felt kinda lost....it was a great feeling though.;-) But then again, I didn't have a gazillion papers to grade either. *lol*
Ya know, maybe you need to quit giving homework and tests. That would lighten your load eh? Oh, and nobody in your class paid me to say that!:7 (as she waltz's off with a pile o' greenbacks)
Did you visit Ann tonight or were you a dedicated teacher instead?

Wendy - You were right....CTX UB fried me. I woke up this morning feeling it all over!
I feel like I need to get more serious too. I have been thinking about doing another P90X rotation. But I'm not sure I want to commit 12 weeks right now. I gotta figure it out.
I was thinking you were crazy considering 4DS legs so soon after your run. It's a great workout though....with fresh legs. *lol*
Good luck with the tax man tonight.;-)

Diana - No extra kid today.....he went home last night. They played the Wii non-stop the whole time they were here. Actually, the went outdoors once....for about a half hour. They must've been going thru Wii withdrawl b/c that didn't last long. *lol* Actually I'm a kid short tonight....Cody is at Grandmas so Cam is loving his alone time with the Wii.
Is DH using the EXT at home? I can't wait to get outside and do some walking/jogging after the trails dry up.

Laura - What kind of dogs do you have? I know they are big, but can't remember what kind they are.
*lol* The BL guys are soooo emotional aren't they? I was thinking what the heck would they be like with a serious accident or death? It was sweet to see it, but kinda weird at the same time. I love watching the show though.....very inspirational! It's one of the few reality shows I watch.
Ha! No pollen here. I guess snow is good for something after all. But, our day is coming....I think.
Glad you have decided to rest up. I hope you wake up tomorrow feeling spry and invigorated. If not, don't push it! The flu is nothing to play around with. Plus, you don't want to be feeling ill for the weekend.;-)

Geez....time for bed already. Have a great night girls!!!

Angie
