Cabs and Abs Saturday

Good Morning Ladies.

No smiley face today. I am not up by choice-check out the time!:eek:

I woke up with what I thought was just a dry throat so I went and got a drink of water but it didn't go away-it still hurts. I hope I am not getting sick!x( Anyway, I couldn't fall back to sleep so I finally got up and made myself a hot cup of tea in hopes that it will soothe it. If this doesn't work I have a Nyquil type med that I can try. I didn't want to take it so close to morning since it's a "nighttime" med but even if I am sleepy come 7am from the med it's better then being up half the night!:eek: If it still is bothering me during the course of the day I will, ofcourse, starting downing that Airborne!}(

Angie: Which Baron yoga vid did you do y'day? Too bad you couldn't handle a maid. I sure could!:7 I would, ofcourse minimize the clutter before she came but would have no problem leaving everything else for her to deal with!:p When I was out shopping with BF the other night I DID purchase a couple of things. Not much though!;) I bought a pair of shorts that were on sale for like $20.00. I couldn't leave them there! I also bought (2) 10 pound weight plates for my BB. I was happy. }( My BF bought a pair of capri work out pants and a sports bra. She is keeping the pants but returning the bra. It's too small. x( She also bought a DB rack (very inexpensive!It's great!) and a couple sets of DB's. She is building up quite the collection of fitness paraphanalia. She makes this "Trainer From Hell" proud! :+ }( :7

Well, that's about it for now I guess. I mean really...how much can there possibly be to write about at 4am!? LOL

See you all in a few hours!:p
 
Good morning, girls! http://www.kidcorral.ca/forum/images/smilies/coffeebagels.gif

Last night, I tried to change my signature & avatar and it kept getting cut off. So as I tried to fiddle w/ it just now, I lost the post I had all typed up. Hate when that happens!

Angie :: glad you were able to get your audit done! I guess I'm a bit of a control freak, too, as I think sometimes it is just easier to do something yourself and make sure it gets done right!...Enjoy your day to yourself today!

Wendy :: so sorry you woke up with a sore throat! That is one persistent bug that won't leave us alone around here. Hope you were able to get back to sleep.

Well, thanks to the nor'easter off the coast (formerly Hurricane Noel), we've got high winds today; therefore, I'll probably not head outside for a run and will opt for indoor cardio (TBD) instead. Plus 4DS C&B.

Have a GREAT day!

Good Morning.

Cathy: We are getting lousy weather thanks to that hurricane as well. Cold, uber windy and rainy too. YUCK!x( It would be a great day to head for the gym...unfortunately I am supposed to be resting or doing yoga at most so I guess that's out for today. DARN!:-( Thanks for the well wishes. I am hoping my throat is just a fluke. It's still a little scratchy but not like it was. I have to go out and pick up more Airborne today. Looks like a constant supply of the stuff will be needed this winter. Oh well. Sorry you lost your original post. SOOO annoying!x(

BBL!
 
Wendy,
I'm sure you are getting it worse as you are closer to the coast. No rain here (though it's overcast), but I'm not in the mood to fight strong winds today.

I have to go to Victoria Secret today to pick up a bra for the dress I'm wearing to the wedding. It's low-cut, so I think I need to get their "plunge" bra. I really need bras in general, but I do not want to spend a small fortune. Replenishing my wardrobe is bankrupting me. Anyway, none of mine seem to be fitting right anymore. But it's weird. When I used the VS fit guide (from the website), the size I'm wearing *should* be right. I guess I'm doing SOMETHING wrong.

Morning....er....almost afternoon girls.:)

It's a beautiful crisp sunny morning here today without any noise except the TV in the background and some hot steam coming out of my coffee mug. Ahhhhhhhhhh! I think I'm in heaven.:)

Wendy - Sorry about your insomnia....at least you'll get an extra hour tonight to try and make it up. I think I got your extra sleep last night. I slept 10 glorious hours. :eek: I guess that's why I feel so sparky this morning.
About that scratchy throat.....that's how my laryngitis started.x( Start downing that airborne girl! On the bright side, no one else in the family got my yucks.:)
The only other yoga DVD I have is Baron's Hot Yoga #3. It has a lot of the same moves as yogaX but it moves at a faster pace and is much shorter. He makes me chuckle a bit b/c he seems a bit feminine to me. I definitely prefer to w/o to Tony!:7
Sounds like your friend got some pretty good buys. I need a dumbbell rack too!
I'll bet Laura would take your rainy weather.

Cathy - I've tried to get an avatar but I can't find any. Any suggestions on where I can find one??
Any ideas yet on what your cardio will be? Maybe combine LIS and HIS?:p How do you like the new bootcamp? I think that's a great interval w/o with unique moves that aren't too choreo. complex.
Good luck with the bra buying. I hate to buy bras! I really need to do the same. I only have 2 that are actually flattering.....I lost my weight there first so I really need to get new ones that FIT.:-(

Well, I should go to fwonline and see what deals they might have there. I need to order some bands. My last green one looks like it might snap at any time now. I should check out Bentos DVD first and make sure a couple of greenies and a purple one will do it for me.

Happy Saturday Diana, Laura, & Nancy

BBL babes

I'm off to do Cardio X.

Odd, I know but in light of how terribly bored I am and consequently how much CRAP I have been eating today, I really need to do more then just yoga. I figure Cardio X is a good choice for a lighter work out and it has a little bit of everything in it.

We are going to my mom's for dinner tonight. Just what I need on top of all of the chocolate I've consumed....what will probably be a fatty fried meal with absolutely no veggie in sight! :eek:

Oh well. I committed us to dinner there before I started eating like this....

BBL.
 
Hi Cabbers!

I went to see a matinee of Bee Movie (I love Jerry!) followed by my trip to VS. I was fitted there and am supposedly in the right size, but I tried a couple of different bras on and they all fit differently. One of them is the style I like that has always worked for me (I call it the granny bra)...now it doesn't so much. Hmmm. And those things are so darn expensive.

Angie :: nice that you banked some zzz's last night!...I found some decent avatars here http://www.avatarsdb.com/ and here:
http://www.exclusiveavatars.com/ There seems to be a lot of juvenile-oriented stuff out there. These might work, too: http://www.wpclipart.com/browse.html ...No, no LIS/HIS for me. I'd like to learn the routines but am not in any rush. Love the new BC.

Wendy :: hope you enjoyed Cardio X!
 
Hi Ladies,

I slept in this morning and it was wonderful. I did B&G this morning. I was going to do a cardio workout but really need to clean the house.

I'm washing all the bedding and all the bathroom rugs & towels. I 'm also cleaning all 3 bathrooms and hopefully the kitchen too. I want to go buy a new vacuum today. I really want a dyson but after reading consumer reports think I can get a good one that is not so expensive.

Wendy-sorry you woke up with a sore throat-that's no fun. It sounds like you are feeling a little better since you've opted to do cardio.

Cathy-Hope you enjoy your indoor workout today. BC is a fun one.

Angie-Enjoy your day alone today. I don't get those very often but relish them when I do.

Laura & Nancy-hope you ladies are having a good weekend.

I'm off to get started on those bathrooms!

Diana
 
Hi Di! Glad you were able to sleep in also. Happy vacuum shopping! Sounds like some serious cleaning is going on. Still haven't decided which cardio I'll be doing, but it probably won't be BC, actually.

Hello. I'm showered up and ready to head to my mom's for dinner in just a bit. DS went up for a nap at 1 and didn't actually go to sleep until he'd normally be getting up (4pm) so we are letting him stay up there a bit longer then originally intended before heading out. That's okay. Gives me time on the forums!;)

Cardio X is done and I am in a MUCH better place both physically and mentally now that I've done it. I swear exercise is like *MAGIC* sometimes. I don't know how I ever lived with out it! :)

Diana: Lots of cleaning for you today, huh? It may not be fun but I'm sure you'll feel a good sense of accomplishment when you are done. B&G is a tough work out. No need for you to feel guilty for not following it up with cardio although the cardio DOES ease some of the impending DOMS for me when I do both. My throat was never going to stop me from working out. I had intended today as a rest or yoga day already. I opted to work out cause I was having a bad day in every way and new a work out would help me feel better. Yoga just wasn't going to be enough.

Cathy: Glad you enjoyed the Bee movie. Have fun with whatever cardio you choose!:)

Angie: Where you at girl? So did you turn up the heat in your house when you did Hot Yoga or is Hot referring to Baron's body? LOL J/K :p Now TONY could DEFINATELY pull off a vid called HOT Yoga!!!}(
Lucky you with the 10 hours of sleep! I actually have a hard time sleeping that much at night any more. 8 hours is my limit most times. I like the afternoon cat nap as well though. If I lose my voice I am coming to get ya girl!}( LOL

Okay, time to get DS up and off to grandma's house we go!:7

BBL.
 
Nice work out Cathy!}(



I feel like cr@p. :-( I was fine with the exception of my throat until some point at my mom's house. I started to feel like a fever was coming on. I haven't taken my temp cause I don't want to know right now but I stocked up on Airborne, bought OJ and have green tea. All of which I have consumed since getting home along with my medicine that should help me sleep as well as help my throat and knock down any fever I may have.

I was really excited about my run tomorrow and will be ticked if I can't do it but that remains to be seen. I'll see how I feel when I wake up in the morning.

Off to the couch and then to bed.

Night night from the infirmary!:p
 
Hey Everyone,

Well my cleaning got interrupted when Cody and Amanda came for a bit. Amanda is feeling much better but she said her muscles hurt from the shots they gave her to stop her contractions.

I did get all the laundry and 3 bathrooms done today as well as the bedding. I'm heading out tonight to look for a new vacuum cleaner. Tomorrow will be vacuuming and cleaning the kitchen-after Jerods first all star game. Today was a bye for his team.

Cathy-glad you liked the Bee Movie-it looks very cute. I had actually planned on doing KPC myself, but my mind starting wandering about all the cleaning needed to I bagged it.

Wendy-hope you have fun at your mom's tonight.

Diana
 
Hi girls

I spent most of my day unproductively.:) I finally got off the couch and went down and did power squeeze which was only 30 minutes and added on the 30 min. pre-mix of B&B on Amy Bentos new DVD. I think I'm gonna like the slo-mo workout.:) Then we went out for pizza and played some cards. The calories really racked up there today. The halloween candy is killin me!}(

Wendy - Cardio X today huh? Needed a Tony fix didn't ya?:p :7 Certainly can't blame you for that!
Nope - I didn't turn up the heat.....I am not turned on by Baron at all!! Tony, on the other hand, make me laugh....now that's sexy!
ACK NO! You're not getting sick again are you??? Oh I hope you are feelin better in the morning.

Cathy - Thanks for the avatar links. I have to check those out.
The B movie looks cute. Great job on the workout. Did the weather improve for you at all today?

Diana - Did you do all of B&G? OMG...that one kills me! WTG on the cleaning. I should've been doing laundry today but only sorted and started a load...never finished.:eek:
I have a dyson and love it. I spent $600 on it 2 years ago but I see that walmart has one for about $300. It's not the same model, but it looks like a great deal.

Chat with you all in the morning

Angie
 
Hey Angie-I figured you be cleaning today too. I did do all of B&G and got my laundry done too. My buns are gonna be sore tomorrow. I need to add the ankle weight work weekly. That should get my rear lifted up where it belongs.

I ended up getting another Hoover Windtunnel. I really wanted the dyson but couldn't bring myself to spend the money on it. This one was on sale for $200 down from $250. I also had a 15% off coupon.

The mouse fiasco is over. I put on my brave face to look in the window well. The traps are empty and DH said it was probably never in the house. Much to my happiness, I saw the lifeless rodent laying in the rocks. When Cody was here I asked him to take care of it. He moved the window well and got the dead mouse out of there. Of course Jerod brought it in the house and I was screaming bloody murder. The more I screamed, the more he tortured me. He didn't stop until DH said that was enough. Of course, the rest of the family was laughing hysterically.
