Cabs and Abs Post R/T Tuesday

Good Morning Girls.

Ang: What a horrible time you had getting back home! I can't even imagine! And the fact that you drove straight to work from the airport is even crazier! LOL Glad you made it home safe though. How did it feel to get some REAL sleep last night? Wonderful I'll bet! So now you should be rarin' to go! I think you should do BOTH new work outs today!!!! Pretend you are still on the RT and go for it! Yeah, I did an upper body work out but it's a real easy one. It's one of the work outs I started out with way back when in my fitness journey. It's called the Great Body Gauranteed Series. Beach Body puts it out. I used a weight that was enough for me to FEEL it but there was no question as to wether or not I could do that last 3 reps! LOL The Lorie/step story is this: She was in front of me in class saturday morning and I noticed that one of her risers was crooked under her step. One wrong move and the step could have fallen off the riser. That would have meant sure disaster for Lor and perhaps people around her so I let her know so she could fix it before she fell.

Di: OMG girl I hope you finally made it home yesterday! I felt so bad for you when I was reading Cathy's updates on airport nightmares! I hope your job was understanding about the fact that you weren't able to get into work on Monday. Sorry you had such a rough go of it. After you get some rest, a good hard work out should help make you feel better!

So I am going to run today but I might also do a leg work out. I'll keep ya posted!

BBL!

Ahhhhhhhhh - I'm human again!

Would you believe I didn't get to bed until about 11:30? It seemed as though it just didn't matter at that point. I think I was almost getting used to the "head in the clouds" feeling. *lol* I ordered out pizza and salad last night since I was just in no mood to cook. I know - bad!! Shame on me. *lol* With all the bad food and CABs in my near future, I'll be lucky not to put on some fat.

I feel normal again today. Believe it or not a pack of coyotes went thru the property at 5:15! Someone above wants me to be awake at that time!! However, I had no problem getting back to sleep.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that when my first flight got re-booked on another airline, the security people felt it necessary to give me more intense screening. If I was in a hurry I would have been mad, but I had time to kill at that point so I was more nervous than anything. I got a pat down but no strip search thank god! I asked why I got the extra check and the guy said the computer flagged me probably due to the flight change.

I got a hair appointment for today!!!! Doing a MAJOR happy dance!!! I am soooooo sick of this long hair and it is long enough for locks of love so I can go to nascar with a more comfy cut.
Also on my way home yesterday just before Cathy called to check on me, I was listening to my fav radio station in the area I grew up and they had a give away so I figured I'd call. I won!! It's only a CD and a Rally's gift card, but hey, it feels good to win something, especially since all of us girls struck out at the RT. Hopefully this means my luck is turning around.

Di - I can't wait to hear from you. I sooooooo hope you are home!

Wendy - Both workouts???? OK - you are certifiable now! I heard they are both a$$ kickin workouts too.
Hey I have the GB series but it just came out a couple of years ago. At least, that's what I thought. It has the ab section I do quite often. I really haven't done the other sections but once.
Whew! Good thing you noticed the step - that could've been bad.
Hope you have good weather for your run or are you going on the TM?

Since I have a haircut this afternoon and Maggie has a appt. with the vet at 4 (my usual workout time) I think I'm gonna head down and to KPC early. I can't wait to give it a shot!! I'll come back and let you know what I think of it.

Later girls

Hi Ladies,

I finally made it home last night, and my luggage was waiting for me at the airport! I was exhausted to say the least.

The drama began at the Philly airport where my flight was delayed for 7 hours. This delay caused me to miss my connection in NY. My seat assignment was 7a on this flight so of course I figured I was sitting near the front. When I finally boarded, the plane was so small and only had 9 rows. It was a pretty scary flight to say the least. I got in to NY at 10 pm and had to wander around looking for a gate agent to find me a flight. I finally find one and it took 30 minutes and a call to customer service to get my flight changed. The earliest flight was at noon the next day. They would not give me a travel voucher because the delay was due to weather. I figured I'd just camp out there until the next day.

At 1am, a TSA agent told me I couldn't stay where I was and needed to go outside. Are you kidding me, I'm not going outside in NYC-Its obviously much safer for me to be inside. After getting all of my information she sends me to the central terminal. Like I know where that is. I get on a bus (the driver doesn't speak english and hoping the bus is just an airport bus and he gets me where I want to go. There are tons of stranded passengers in the central terminal in the same boat as me. I ended up dosing off and on in the food court, sitting on a metal chair with my head hunched over the table, not comfortable to say the least.

I was so hungry since I only at breakfast at the diner, and then had 2 pretzels (thank you cathy) the rest of the day. I had ham & egg stromboli that was delicious and then made my way back to the right terminal for my flight. NY airport ended up closing due to weather so my flight was delayed to DC. I finally got to DC made my way to my connecting flight and had a non eventfull flight from DC home.

I have no idea if I will be working out today or not. If I do anything it will be heavy weights.

RT-it was a wonderful experience and I'm so glad I went. I had the best time haning out with my fellow cabbers and met some great new folks as well. I loved doing the live workouts with Cathe! I am glad I got to meet her in person.

Laura-Glad to hear you had a great time on vacation and came back with some extra dough!! You are a lucky one!!!

Angie-It was great rooming with you and I'd be happy to do it again next year too! I was just calling to see if you were stranded like me and when your next flight was. Not sure why, but at the last minute I threw my phone charger in my carry on and am sure glad I did. I ended up charging it at philly and again in NY. LaGuardia Airport was so much nicer than Philly.

Wendy-I had a great time just hangin' out and visiting with you. I definitely think you need to the PT job a shot. I suggest you look for gyms in your area that you like and sign on with them. Where I live, most PT's work for the city. Some teach group classes only, some are PT's and do one on one or group training. It probably wouldn't be a full time thing, but enough hours to get you feeling more confident with yourself.

Cathy-you are just a doll. I can't thank you enough for picking us up and taking us back to the airport. I really wanted to get you one of the I love (heart) NY tshirts (and one for myself of course). After having such a terrible experience there I just didn't want one anymore. I did buy Jerod a deck of cards though. He gets a deck of cards from everywhere I go.

Hey Diana - So glad to hear you made it back in one piece. A small plane in the middle of that storm??? I was in a bigger one, so it wasn't really all that bad. I'm sure it was an additional shock on the nerves.
I had a pretzel for lunch. So glad Cathy gave us one. I didn't think it was gonna be a meal, but it sure did hit the spot!
I think ANY airport was nicer than philly. There were so many pi$$ed off people there that I just wanted out! I was much happier to stay in CLE.
It was great rooming with you too. Not sure if next year will happen yet or not. If so, I may opt for the earlier one since I'm busy as heck trying to get unpacked and repacked in 2 days! It's a bit overwhelming so if it's this close to the race next year I'll probably not go. But, it's a long way away so we'll see.

I got my hair cut and it feels soooooooo good!!! I'm so glad they had enough for locks of love. Now I have to send it in.

I did KPC this morning and it was awesome. This kickboxing thing is starting to grow on me. I wasn't crazy about the last drill with the side kicks, but other than that it was great. It was also a great calorie burner. I gotta go and get this messy house back in order so I can get packing. It's gonna be another long day.

Later babes

Hi again Girls.

I am getting ready to do B&G Leg Blast Premix and I will head for an outdoor run around my neighborhood once DH gets home. I want to take advantage right now since the weather is pretty mild. I will be shooting for 3.5 miles which is the outdoor run I had to skip this past weekend due to the RT!

Laura: Glad you and DH are doing better despite the other crap that is going on. Have fun with mint condition tonight! I haven't done that one in ages. Will have to pull it one of these days and torture myself!

Di: OMG girl, what an awful experience. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I think I would have been crying amongst other things! Glad you finally made it home safe and sound though. Thanks for the encouragement re PT'ing. I'm still undecided. I need to do SOMETHING soon though so that I'm not stuck in my current joke of a job for too long after DS starts school. Yes, ITA that it was fun to hang out. I would go back on the RT with you and Ang in a heartbeat!

Ang: So I must ask...how bad was your house mess wise when you walked in after your weekend?? Mine actually was reasonable. The only thing I got mad at was the pile of dishes (none of which were mine, obviously) that were in the sink. Beyond that it really wasn't bad. DH surprised me this time! LOL GBG is an oldie but they re-released it on DVD a few years ago. I originally had it on VHS many years ago. It seems that 10 minute trainer is the updated version of GBG. If it wasn't so expensive I would have picked that one up instead. Unfortunately the reviews it's getting do not warrant it's cost so I opted for something I knew was worth the little bit o' money I would have to spend on it. I also want to get the Power Half Hour series on DVD. Once upon a time I had that on VHS as well.

Ok, I guess that's all for now...gotta rock-n-roll on the B&G leg torture if I want to be ready to run when DH gets home!

BBL Girls!

 

[Fit_mommy]

YIKES! I did the leg blast premix and was out the door for my run about 20 minutes later...HOLY MOLY that was TOUGH but I made it 3 miles on lead legs so I'm happy!

Off to make some dinner!

Evening girls

Well, I got almost all of the laundry done and the house cleaned but I've only been out to the camper to do the linens. So, I haven't packed a thing! I hope to get out of work early tomorrow and get packing. We're hoping to leave by 10 or so Thurs. morning.
I took Maggie in for shots and her nasal bortatella vaccine. Well, they had NO nasal vaccine. They called the local vets and nobody else had it either. Needless to say I was mad b/c I told them I needed it when I called and made the appt. Basically they shrugged their shoulders and offered no help. I was so mad when I got in my car I was shaking! The vaccine takes 2 days for the dog to build up immunity and we are boarding her on Thrusday so even if they found one tomorrow it would be too late. I called the place we will board her and told them what happened and they said they will still take her if we want them to. They said that it is basically just a vaccine against the common cold. What??? She said bortatella is just a upper respiratory virus in dogs very similar to the common cold so that even if she got it, it would be treatable. Now, don't you think the vets office could have told me that? I'm still a bit sore at the vet for charging me a $75 emergency fee for Snoop when they made me wait in the lobby for at least 20 minutes when she needed oxygen. That bill was over $400. Hello......what's the emergency fee for when you are going to see a pet at your leisure?? So, I will NOT step foot in that place again! There is a vet clinic that is about 20 miles away that is top notch (and pricey) but they are prepared and deliver great service. Sorry for the long-winded vent......it just urked me to no end.

Laura - It would be neat to meet Gin Miller. She seems like such a sweetheart. Has she had anything out recently? I still do Intense Moves every now and again. That's a great interval workout.
So is the BS with that woman again? She needs to find herself a single man. At least you and DH are on the same page with how to handle it now.
PIA takes her DH to the Dr? Kind of odd eh?
Take your frustrations out on your class.....they love you for it. Don't tell them I said that. LOL!

Wendy - A run after B&G? You are a gluten aren't you? (did you notice my pun?) You'll have to forgive me....I'm tired as heck again and am gettin to that slap happy mode. It must be cooler your way now - way to take advantage of that.
Mess? More like a tornado!! Thankfully the boys were not home today b/c they went to the water park with friends. When they came over to drop the boys home they asked if it was OK for the boys to spend the night. They LIKE the boys?? LOL! I told them they were available for adoption. The folks that the boys went with are Codys BF and his dad and girlfriend. They think my boys are a hoot. So anyways, I had much of the evening to clean too. Oh joy!

Diana is probably in a coma by now. Sleep tight.

I got another long day ahead of me tomorrow so I'd better get some sleep.

Night all........
