What the heck am I doing up so early on a Sunday???? DH and the boys got up about 45 minutes ago and left in their Wii quest. I dreamed last night that Cody got his hands on one, so we'll see. I heard them getting up and around and now I can't get back to sleep. It's gonna be a loooooong day!
BF called last night and said she missed a Wii by about 2 minutes.}( I told her there really was no need to taunt me with that information but she said she was so disappointed that she just had to call and let me know. *lol* ACK! She said if they had checked GameStop before they went to Walmart, they would have landed it. For some reason it just wasn't meant to be.

Today is rest day and my biceps are a bit sore from PUB yesterday. I hope this isn't a bad eating day since I will be awake for so long today but I'm gonna do my best to keep it in check. Maybe if the kids don't land a Wii and I have access to my basement TV, I may just do a workout today and take a rest day tomorrow. Hmmmmmmm.....I could do that before they get back.....but it's 6:30 AM!:eek:

Oh the possibilites of what to do with this day. LOL!

Hey Wendy - Best of luck on that run. Not that you need it.....I know you will be posting another PB when you get home!;-) Knowing that you're gonna be out there burnin up all those calories is really making me think I should cram a workout in today.

Cathy - Hope you get your stuff signed, sealed, and delivered today. You're almost at the finish line girl!!

Hi Diana.....if you're out there today.
 
Hey girls!

I stopped by the forums early yesterday morning and caught up with the OAL gang but did not have time to post here. It was a busy day like the others have been. I worked through a headache and a foul mood that lasted all day, so it was better I didn’t pop in, anyhow. Spared you that. :7

Wendy :: sending you fleet feet vibes, my friend! http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/exercise/th_Bonhomme_rapide.gif IA with you re: what exercise does for you. This month the NB crunch has sorta spun life outta control and not having that time to exercise has definitely thrown me “off.” I look forward to things returning to normal. I need that regular endorphin rush! I’m totally down with Fraggle Rock. Enjoy! Wii Fit is supposed to be released in May.

Angie :: Oh, I hear you. I hosted a GH competition at school and could not believe how gifted the kids are at this thing. Explains why they aren’t doing their HW, though. *lol* :7 I did see the blog and I was wondering if I “need” that thing. Probably not as I have a pullup bar. Today I’m still revising and packing, but tomorrow I have a personal day and will take care of mailing. I hope the kids get their Wii today! Glad your knee seems to be OK.

Di :: glad the bloodwork came back A-OK…hope that you get good news for your foot. I can’t celebrate just yet (tomorrow!)…but I appreciate the thought & support. :)

In fact, I want to thank all of you for the encouragement and support you’ve given me over the last few weeks. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/love/th_awww.gif I’m sure you’ve been sick of hearing me say I’m working on this stuff all the time. Probably not as sick as I am of it! *lol* But anyway, not many people understand the amount of work it involves or the pressure that you feel…some of those closest to me IRL have not really been there, and it would have been a lonelier journey without my cyber pals. When I saw yesterday’s thread, it brought tears to my eyes. It’s funny, the power of a little smiley…anyway, [font size+1]thank you[/font].

Good Morning Girls.

I never made it back here y'day like I had wanted to. The day just flew by and I never even got my work out in! I traded up the afternoon work out time for Wii time!:eek: :7 :eek: :7 After that it was time to head to the inlaws for my SIL's B'day dinner. :9 We headed out of there around 7pm and then off to my mom's to drop DS there for the night. DH intends to sleep all morning and maybe even into the afternoon as he has to work from 5pm tonight until 9am tomorrow morning!:eek: I can't bring DS to the race so I needed someone to watch him. :)

Ang: Hope your boys score a Wii today! If I were you I'd get down to that basement NOW and work out if you want to....just incase! I know if it were me I'd be all geared up to work out and they'd show up with a Wii and lose lose the chance! Hop to it girl! :7 Thanks for the encouragement re the race! I'm nervous right now but I know once I get there I'll be excited and ready to run!

Cathy: One more day, girl. Just one more day! Hang in there!!!:) I think we should coordinate a "virtual celebration" tmrw evening where we all log on at the same time, toast to you and a job well done and have a CAB together! :9 :7

I know we won't hear from Laura today but I wonder if Di will pop in?

I don't know if I'll be back before I head out this morning but if not I'll be back with my race report this afternoon!

Later babes!:)
 
Good morning Cathy - So glad you are feeling better today.:) I'm sure the headache was probably stress related....not a migrane I hope. It must feel so good to be nearing the end of this phase. I know you still have more to go, but this HAS to be a huge relief. I, for one, am not at all tired of hearing about it. That's what we're here for! So glad to offer support and happy to hear it made a difference.;-) ((((hugs))))

BTW....I just talked to the guys and they finally landed a Wii!! http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-047.gif However, they did not have GH with the game.:-( Can you believe that?? So, now they are waiting around for K-mart to open to get the GH with the game included. Cody said he bought 2 games, one of them was a Mario game. I'm not sure if DH will wait around for K-mart to open. I'm kinda looking forward to GH, so I hope he waits.
I'm going to make breakfast when I get the call that they are on their way home. A sausage, eggs, toast, and bacon breakfast.:eek: Maybe I really should do a workout today!!
 
Wendy :: I love that idea if we can coordinate it!...*lol* about trading work out for Wii time. At least Wii is active, right?
Looking forward to the report.

Angie :: yessss!!! So glad they scored the Wii. *happy dance time* Breakfast sounds delish. (I am in the mood for a nice, heart-attack-inducing diner breakfast myself.)

OK, I've allowed myself enough downtime. I better get back to the portfolio now.

I'm in on the CABs!!! Uh, yeah, twist my arm.:D

Ohhhh, bowling is fun. The kids have a slice going on with the ball but mine is straight up the middle. I don't know how long that will last, but I'm likin' it so far.

DH went to haul a load and he's going by Wally world again so he's gonna stop and get another controller and a charging set. We don't need the chargers yet, but since this basically is their spring break, I'm sure they will need them soon. When I told them earlier to get another nun-chuck, I meant controller. I'm not sure if we'll need the extra nun-chuck or not, but we can always take it back. My parents are now in Ohio and I asked them to call me on their way home so maybe they can stop and pick up GH for us.;-) Hopefully we'll have all the necessities by the end of the day....or am I forgetting something?

BTW, wasn't the Wii $299?? DH nabbed it for $250, so I was surprised b/c I thought it was supposed to be $300. Apparently they got 9 units in and there were 6 of them in line this morning. Now that I'm not looking for them, they'll be everywhere!

Cathy - The breakfast was yummy. I had an egg, toast, hash browns with catsup (of coarse) and fresh pork sausage. All in all, not a heart attack, but not my usual oatmeal or protein pancake either. :7
Sometimes, it just hits the spot. :9
 
Hi Ladies,

Yesterday was a pretty lazy day around my house. I did get some laundry done though. I was getting ready to work out about 4 pm when some friends from out of state called and asked if they could come by. I scrapped the workout and showered instead. Well they didn't show up until 8pm. We out to dinner about 9, and we stayed up until 1:30am visiting with them.

Wendy-Hope you are having a great run this morning! Can't wait to hear how you did.

Cathy-sounds like I need to go read the blog. I'm so glad this NB stuff is almost behind you. You'll feel so much better once you get it in the mail and can forget about for several months.

Angie-WOOO HOOO on the wii purchase. They are hard to come by. My kids just finished spring break and are not looking forward to going to school tomorrow.

I'm off to read the blog..

Diana
 
Back again...I just made the family breakfast including scrambled eggs with mushrooms, fried potatoes & onions, and link sausage. I haven't had anything other than fiber one or egg whites in a long time.

I definitely need to workout today. I think I'll do leg weights and a long cardio after bit.

Wendy-are you back yet??? How did you do??? How do you feel??

Angie-your arm will be sore from bowling today. You wouldn't think you'd be sore from wii'ing, but you will. I'm sure Cathy will agree. Have fun with family today.

Diana
 
Hey girls!

I have been home for a couple hours now but was trying to hold off on posting until the "official" results were posted on my race. Well, they aren't up yet and who knows how long it will take! LOL

It was COLD out this morning! BRRR! I dressed in capris and a long sleeve running top with a sleeveless top under it just in case. I was quite cold until a couple miles into the race. It was mostly my hands and my ears that were *really* cold. I looked at my gloves and ear muffs too but left them behind like a dope! Once I got warmed up it was perfect though so that little bit o' uncomfortable was worth it I guess.

I wore my garmin but didn't start it at the gun since I was farther back in the line and walking at first. I stopped it when it said 10 miles and it timed me at 1 hr 38 mins. This race was chipped so I don't know how the official results will come out but when I crossed the finish line the race clock said 1:39:41!!! The 2 times put me anywhere between a 9:48 and 9:59 average pace for the race. Me likey! :) :) :)

I'll post the official time as soon as I find out what it is.

I was okay during the race except that my hips got achey. This happens to me quite often with the longer distances though so I've grown to expect and accept it.

When I crossed the finish line the lady there asked if I was okay cause when I stopped running I immediately started to sway and wobble. I didn't feel like I was going to pass out...I just had to get my WALKING legs back but then it started...the CRAMPING! ACK! It wasn't nearly as bad as what I experienced during/after the half but it made me nervous nonetheless. I walked around for quite a while and since they had no gatorade there I was eating a half a bagel and shoved 3 munchkins in my face as well. The carbs/sugar helped. After a good 15-20 minutes I made my way back to the car and stretched for about 10 minutes before heading home. I am DEFINATELY ordering some HEED for my half in May or ATLEAST taking gatorade with me!!!! I should have done that for this one too. Somebody smack me!:p

Well, my munchkin is upstairs complaining his head off so I better go get him. I'll be back in a little while to catch up with personals.

BBIAB! :7
 
Congratulations Wendy!!! Great job on the 10 miler. I hate being cold too, but prefer to start off a little chilly as I tend to quickly warmup. Why didn't they have gatorade?? Stretch lots today and tomorrow and maybe even consider taking ibuprofen.

GREAT JOB WENDY!!!

Diana
 
I'm back!:)

I got in a cat nap so I'm not feeling much in the way of sleepy now but man oh man are the legs FRIED! Everything hurts! LOL I read Diana's suggestion to take ibuprofen but I recently downed 2 cups of caff java and I read somewhere that lotsa caffeine and ibuprofen together can be an unsafe mixture. I don't know how true this is but I figure it can't hurt to wait a bit before taking the ibuprofen.

Ang: YAY for the Wii! So did they land GH as well? It's an awesome game! You are going to get soooo addicted to it! DH and I played last night. I had to get to bed at a reasonable hour so I couldn't play all night. I played "one last song" like THREE times before actually going to bed! LOL :p ENJOY!

Cathy: Yeah, the carnival game is quite cute. I think I'll enjoy it. Hope you are plowing through the NB stuff today! Sending good vibes your way. I can't wait to crack open a CAB with your tmrw night, girl! WOO HOO!:+

Diana: Thanks for the kudos. :) I plan to do a stretching vid tonight after DS goes to bed. Tmrw will be a rest day!;)
 
Hiya girls

Allright Wendy!!! So, is it a PB?? So glad to hear all went well. I hope those muscles start to loosen up for you and that you get a good "cheat" dinner after all the hard work today. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Leisures_and_Sports/leisures-and-sports-047.gif If not, I have been cheatin' for ya.;)

DH and I haven't gotten much Wii time today. It has been on all day, but the kids have taken it over. DH played golf for a while. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Leisures_and_Sports/golf-050.gif He's about as bad with the Wii as he is on the coarse. *lol* It was fun though.

My parents snagged a GH and they should be here any minute to drop it off. I'm sure that will be a hoot! Now I'm eager to hear more about the fitness game you and Cathy have mentioned.

Hi Di - Didya do that cardio yet?

Hey Cathy - How's the portfolio shaping up?
 
So Ang...play GH yet!?!? :+ :+ :+ Yes, I had my cheat meal...PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!:9 }( :9 }( As far as this race time being a PR for me I suppose it is. This is the first actual 10 mile race I've run but I've never hit the 10 mile mark faster then I did today! YAY!:)

Well it's time to get DS ready for bed now...you know what that means right? :7

BBL!
 
Oh man, ladies…I am bushed! Am just sitting down to scarf some dinner now. I have spent most of the day packing the materials…I kid you not.

I’m gonna crash soon but wanted to come see how Wendy did in her race.

Wendy :: CONGRATS on a stellar race! Hope the ibuprofen kicked in (if you took it).

Angie :: I paid $250 for all the Wiis I bought, too. Time to send the kids to bed. :) Can’t wait to hear what you think of GH. The portfolio is what it is at this point. I have to look at one entry one more time tomorrow and then will double-check that everything is in the right place.

Di :: glad you enjoyed some time catching up with your friends from out-of-town. I do agree you can be sore from Wii’ing. :) GH really works my hands and forearms.

Hey Wendy

Congrats again on that great run! You sooooooo deserve that pizza and any desert that might be calling your name too!

GH is a bit addicting.:eek: Why didn't anyone warn me??:7 :+ :p I only did a couple of songs....they seem sooooo long, but I feel like I could play that thing all night long. Too bad I have to work tomorrow, but I don't have to work Tuesday and get to sleep in too so I might be strummin' into the night tomorrow.

So if DS is on his way to bedtime and you have had a nap that must mean that you are about to rock out! http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Music/guitar-018.gif It must be nice not to have to battle your kid(s) for the wii remote. I'm gonna get a lot of exercising just trying to pry that thing from their hands!:p Ahhhh, but they grow up. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-023.gif See what you get to look forward to?? *lol*

Have a great night cabbers;-)
