Cabs and Abs Super Sunday Spectacular!

Okay, so I admit, I don't have a clue why ANYONE would consider a Sunday SPECTACULAR...but it sounded good, alright!? :p

Good Morning Cabbies!:)

I am up early this morning. I got up when DH got up for work. I must be nuts. I usually try to lay in bed for alteast another 15-30 mins but today it wasn't happening.

The party or whatever you wanna call it last night was okay. The food was INCREDIBLE though and sooooo very much of it! Being married into an italian family I have gotten very used to them over-cooking constantly and always have more food then you need, etc but yesterday was unfreakin' believable! I seriously think we had a 7 course meal! I don't know where she kept all of this food or where she found the time to prepare it! :eek: :eek: :eek: To give you an idea...the appetizers started coming out around 4 and dessert wasn't underway until after 7:30!!!! The whole time in between was eating and then you had about 10-15 minutes to digest until the next course came out!Italians are freakin' NUTS!;) :7 I stayed for quite some time but by 8pm DS was on a sugar high as well as tired so he was beginning to get out of control. That was my queue to split. I was the first to leave...right after coffee and dessert at 8pm.

So enough of THAT saga :p ...

Today is my rest day. All I might do is make up the ab work that I so nicely blew off y'day. LOL Otherwise my morning will be spent doing laundry, maybe some other housework and hanging out with DS. BF is coming over to train around 1 pm (nap time) and then when that's done I'll probably have a visit with my mom some where for a while.

I can feel some DOMS in my butt and hams from B&G yet but it's not bad. I need to make sure I get some cardio after that work out EVERY TIME! It really does help! I also think y'day's run helped even more which is why it's not bad today either.

Okay...enough of the incessant babble....let me catch up with what went on y'day after I left....

Angie: Okay girl, you have to learn that when you exercise it is YOUR time! Why the heck are you answering the phone!?!? If you are worried there might be an emergency then use that technology called caller id and an answering machine! Trust me, if it's important, THEY WILL LEAVE A MESSAGE!!!:p I almost NEVER pick up the phone during a work out. :) No worries in having a brain like a sieive. Mine tends to be the same way. LOL That's why I've taken to writing everything down. :) Chopping wood for fun? Hmmm...I don't know about that but I'll bet it's a great upper body work out!;)

Diana: WOW! Jerod and his team are doing GREAT! You all must be soooo excited! I can't wait to hear how the next 2 games go! Congrats to him! I hope you got in a work out yesterday.

Cathy: So did you enjoy your veggie lasagna and your catch up time with your college bud? Did you say she is in a new condo? Is it nice? A part of me would LOVE to live in a condo or townhome. No worries about what's happenin' outside my front door cause the association takes care of it! Ofcourse, the fees that come along with that will KILL ya! LOL Have any cabs while you were there? :9 Thanks re the faster time on my run y'day. It is quite motivating! :)

BFN!
 
Hi girls! http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/basic/bye.gif

I do consider Sundays spectacular!!! I absolutely RELISH every moment of the weekend!

Wendy :: Mmmm, that sounds like my kinda party! I used to work at a bread bakery for an Italian couple through HS and college and was invited to their youngest daughter's wedding. It was a very elegant reception with NONSTOP food that was out-of-this-world. The dessert cart was at least 7 feet long. I have no idea how they stay so trim eating the way they do...I'm starting to feel a bit of DOMS from LL, too...The lasagna was good, I'm happy to say, since it was my first time making ANY kind of lasagna, believe it or not. We never ate it growing up...Yes, she's in a new condo...She stayed in the same complex but moved from a 1-bedroom to a 2-bedroom. Nope, no CABs! She bought a cake, so I had a slice of that and decided on no liquid calories.

Today's workout will be a run (a little bit later this morning).

I started feeling a sore throat when I came home last night, so I drank an Airborne this morning to make sure this cold bug that's been making its way through the cheetah thread does not get me!!

Other than that, I will be cleaning and doing schoolwork.

Have a GREAT day, girls! BBL to catch up.

Hi girls

The football game last night was great....Cody's team won 29-12 and he actually got some play time since it was 29-0 for quite a while. They finally let the second string play.:) He did OK. But, the 7th graders will definitley have some work to do next year. We didn't get home til almost 11.....so it was a long ride and a long day but at least DH and I got a chance to catch up with each other. The week had been so busy that I really hadn't had a chance to talk to him in a few days. Funny how a few hours in a car kinda makes you talk......I was a bit peeved at him b/c of an arguement earlier in the week......but now all is good.:)

Wendy - Dinner sounds wonderful! So what was the main coarse? Did Joey sit still for most of it? I know my kids could never sit there that long to eat....I'm lucky to get them to sit for 10 minutes.
LOL about the phone.....ummmm.....I didn't answer the phone! I'm not that crazy.....when I'm in the zone I don't stop for anything....unless of coarse, I take a nose dive off the step or something, in which case I make sure nothing is broken and get right back to it. It was just the damn thing ringing so much during that w/o that kinda messed up my concentration and I bobbled some steps. Even at full concentration....I mess up steps on that one. I guess that's why I like it so much, b/c you have to think and it makes the time fly by.

Cathy - Ohhhhh, so you had a girls night out....I mean....in? I love just chatting at home with friends. Unfortunatley, I don't get the chance to do it much.:-(
Your dinner sounds good too. I really should step out of the box and try something new. It's been a long time since I have made a NEW dish.
Hope you dodge the cold! Looks like another beautiful day for a run.

Hi Diana, Laura, and Nancy

Angie :: congrats to Cody's team!! Glad you & DH enjoyed some good conversation during the ride...Yep, neither of us felt like heading out, so we just hung around, ate, and dished the dirt. Looks like I have the cold in check for now, thanks!

I enjoyed a mid-day 3 mile run followed by 200 walking lunges while the post-LL DOMS was in FULL effect. Yowzas! I felt it every step of the way. Think I will do some extra stretching in a bit. Oh and get this: during the last round of lunges, Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" randomly came on my iPod. I just had to laugh.

Hey, and look at the smiley I found for Laura: http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_pole.gif

Think it's time for me to get a new hobby or what? *lol*

Hi ladies,

I never did work out yesterday-UGH I hate when that happens. It's already been a busy day. Breakfast, laundry and bills. I screwed up my quicken and had to restore from last month and start again. It's just not my morning. It's done now.

I don't have phone duty this next week so I can w/o at lunch. One of my coworkers is on vacation so I get a reprieve from the phones. Here's my plan for the week:
S-GS C&T & abs, CF Mix & Match
M-Imax 3, Heavy leg work at rec ctr
T-GS BSB & abs, Cardio at rec ctr
W-MIC, WW meeting
Th-GS C&T & abs, run at lunch
F-kickbox, Heavy leg work at rec ctr

My house is in need of major cleanmax so I need to start working on that sometime too. Jerod and Zach are helping so it shouldn't take too long.

Wendy-Wow, sounds your family sure knows how to throw a dinner party. Enjoy your rest day.

Cathy-it sounds to me like you are doing great with WW. It's not always easy but you are making every effort. It sounds like you had a great time with your friend. I hate to admit it, but I don't have many friends. I do know a lot moms but we are just so busy it's hard to get together.

Angie-Congratulations to Cody and his team. I can't complain about Jerod's playing time as he plays most of the game. He is on offense and defense so he gets plenty of playing time. Glad you got to catch up with DH.

Hi to Laura and Nancy!!!

Diana
 
hi again

Well, I've been doin' laundry and yakin' on the phone so I have not gotten a whole lot done, but I need a day off!:)

Cathe - Wow - that sounds like a great w/o......I'm still standin'....LOL That is too funny!
I think Laura might suggest an intervention for you when she gets back and sees her smilie.:p OMG...you crack me up!

Diana - I forgot to say congrats to you and Jarod re: his win! Woooohooo! I'll bet he's lookin' forward to that superbowl after he wins a couple more.
I can not believe your workout schedule! I just don't have it in me to workout that much.....and especially at the intensity that you workout. You are a wonderwoman for sure.;-)
Sorry to hear about your quicken problems. I don't use the computer to pay my personal bills....I just pay them as they come in. However, I use quickbooks at work and thankfully have never had any problems with it. I generally backup once a week, but I have been a little laxed in doing that recently. After hearing your story I think I will be backing up tomorrow. It would be a nightmare to miss even a week with all the checks that get written out.x(

There goes the dryer alarm......off to do more laundry and some more cleaning.

Hi girls.

I've been playin' with Fantastik With Bleach all day long. It's my fave cleaner to just go nuts with it every so often! It cleans sooo much sooo well! Stuff that I just could never get clean and this stuff WORKS!:7

Training went well this afternoon. BF is actually down 8#, and is also down in BF by just under 1%. She told me today that she is thrilled! That makes two of us then! WOOH!:7 She is one of the gals I am going away to Atlantic CIty with this weekend. Perhaps there needs to be a toast at dinner Saturday night to "new beginnings" for her. I really think she can do this. She told me she passed up a sub sandwich from THE BEST sub shop in her area (where I grew up and my mom still lives) a couple days ago in order to go home and eat the SALAD she had planned for dinner that night!:D That's my girl! I even have her doin' Cathe warm ups and stretches when she is workin' out at my place AND I had her do the B&G firewalker segment today and she did the ENTIRE thing! I have her do them but not as many reps and I don't make her do the squat thing. Today she did it all baby!}(

Cathy: Sounds like my kind of wedding!:9 What kind of cake was it? WTG on the 200 walking lunges post-run today! The question is...did you add WEIGHT to those lunges??? }(

Angie: Congrats on Cody's game! The main course was....heck if I know! LOL When there is that much food I get confused...IS there even a MAIN course!?!? :7 Phew, glad to know you didn't actually answer the phone. That's my Catheite!;)

Diana: Your rotation looks great. Sorry about your work out not happening y'day. Hope cleanmax goes by fast!

Off to do more bleaching!:p

Later Taters.
