CABs and Abs - sweaty Saturday

[angie_nrs]

Morning cabbers

My sister told me last night that I didn't have to be there any too early this morning so I decided to get my workout in early. I got up, had a cup o joe, and got on the EXT and did PP. I saw on the OF last night that this was PP Saturday and I've been dyin' to do it. So, kenpo went out the window and PP was awesome!! I feel so good getting it out of the way especially considering how freaking humid it is today. ICK! I am not friends with humidity!!

I think I was the last to post last night so I'm all caught up. Did anyone else do PP Saturday??

Off to go to my moms. I probably won't get back until tonight so I'll check back on you girls then. Have a wonderful Saturday.

Hey, Ange!...Glad sales were boomin' yesterday. Hope the rain holds out and business is good to ya again. Any plans for how to spend your earnings?...That's great that the X allows you to eat without too many restrictions! Ha ha on sweatin' out the toxins. I'm definitely gonna have to work off last night's wings later!...I have not tried a CC yet...Prefer to run outdoors when possible, but it sounds like it could work for that, too. So, soon! ...The Kindle is a pretty cool device. I don't think I'll ever give up "old fashioned" books, but I like that you can download and read a book instantly. And the portability of it is ideal for travel. It can store somewhere around 200 books. The nice thing is I was able to return and get a refund for NROL...OK, tell the woman we want beagle pup pics!!! :7

That catches me up on personals, too.

My workout today will be later in the afternoon--probably some kickboxing and perhaps some Squeeze. But I'll go wherever the mood takes me.

Hope everyone is off enjoying the day to the fullest.

Hi Ladies,

I've been MIA a couple days just being so busy with A.M. running and getting to Jerod's baseball practices and games. I ran 3 miles Thursday morning and did Imax 3 yesterday morning. Today I did a 7 mile run. Thankfully it was a bit cloudy and kept the heat to a minimum. I have a feeling I'm going to be a little sore tomorrow.

Amanda's grandparents are visiting and we will be having them over for dinner tomorrow. DH is grilling and MIL and I will be preparing everything else.

We just got home from Jerod's end of flag football party. He had a great time. Tonight Jerod and I are going to see Wanted. It should be really good.

Thanks for the nice words about the pictures. The girls are getting big so quickly it seems.

Angie-Glad the garage sale is going so well. With all the talk about PP I may have to download that one. I'm trying to refrain from spending any more money on fitness stuff since STS should be coming soon.

Cathy-What workout did you decide on? So far my mary training is going okay, but I do expect to be sore tomorrow. I only stretched for a couple of minutes after my run this morning.

Wendy-A whole weekend to yourself-wow I'm jealous. You need and deserve this break. What do you have planned?

Laura-hope your weekend is going better than expected.

Hi Girls.

I just finished my work out. Better late then never right?

I did 3 premixes on the Kettlebell Goddess DVD plus the stretch to make an hour long full body work out. I did "strength and cardio kick butt", "abs and core" and "upper body". I feel good and worked out now. }(

Last night I went out for a few drinks and to see SATC with BF. After the movie we stopped at a local diner for small bite to eat and coffee. We had a blast together. It could not have come at a better time as I was having doubts about the strength of our friendship. I walked away feeling much better about it.

Today I went to the horse races with my mom. That's always a fun afternoon for us. I had a burger for lunch. Hadn't had one in ages and it was AWESOME! I washed it down with 2 CL's. :9 :9 We did not walk away winners but it's a relatively inexpensive way to spend an afternoon. We bet every race but never alot at one time so it's a cheap gambling experience for us and still fun.

Tonight I have no plans but am strangely okay with that. I am kicking around the idea of heading out to a store but I still need to eat dinner and shower. By the time I am ready to go it will likely be 8:30 and everything will be closing soon. Perhaps I'll find a pay per view movie to rent and just spend the evening appreciating the quiet alone time with no worries.

Last night when I was a block away from BF's house (I picked her up) my car started making this god awful noise. At first I thought there was a storm rolling in because I had the radio going and only heard it faintly and it sounded like thunder. I turned down the radio and realized that it was NOT thunder but the breaks on my car making the noise! I was able to make it home okay. It was just noisy and kinda scarey every time I stepped on the breaks but then this morning after telling DH what was going on, I took the car to the shop bright and early. The owner drove me home since no one else was around and he is a personal friend of DH's. My mom picked me up to go to the races and by the time we were heading home the car was fixed so she dropped me at the shop to pick it up. It was perfect. I probably won't go out anywhere tonight but the thought of being stranded alone car-less was more then I could bear. I hate the feeling of being "trapped" some where, you know?

Well, let me get my shower and grab some food. I will certainly have time when I am finished to do personals so I PROMISE to come back and get them done in just a little while!

BBS.

Ang: My gym is only about a 10 min drive from me, thank goodness. If it was any father I'd never go. Glad you were able to make some bucks at the yard sale. You never know what will happen. It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. How did it go today? So any lower body DOMS from L&B y'day? That work out ALWAYS gave me DOMS! Speaking of which I have some in my legs still from Thursday's kb work out!}( No, I don't have PP yet. It's the last CC I want/need to get. I am going to wait until I've done all of the ones that I own though. I have done 4, 5 and 6 so I need to do 3, 7 and 8 before getting PP. I may also pop for a 2nd kettlebell before popping for PP. Not sure yet. }(

Cathy: So what work out did you end up doing? Anything fun planned for this evening? I had potential plans with BMF but they fell through. Oh well. I had fun last night and today so it's fine. I'm okay with staying home tonight. When I did the KBG work out tonight I used DB's instead of bells for the renegade rows and for the seesaw shoulder press. I alternated arms for the chest press or fly and repeated each set so that I did the same sets for each arm as they did. It worked out okay but I still want to get a 2nd bell. I am also batting around purchasing a 20# bell soon. }(

Diana: So how was the movie? I've never heard of it. I'm not up on what's in theaters usually though since I am not a big tv watcher. Refrain from spending money on fitness stuff!? Girl, what is WRONG with you!? :7 How nice that you will have Amanda's grandparents over tomorrow. I hope it's a nice visit for everyone.

Evening girls

Thank goodness the whole garage sale thing if OVER! I ended up making about $175 and got rid of a lot of stuff. I'm just glad to see someone can use what I don't need anymore. But, now tomorrow I need to go back to moms and help her get things boxed up and ready to go to the salvation army. We'll probably box up some other stuff and try another one in the fall. Hopefully things won't be quite so busy then, as far as our schedules go.
The weather really turned nice today. It was humid and still this morning then a breeze swept in and now we're into the 60's. Ahhhhh - great sleeping weather!
The boys went to Walmart with their dad today and with their garage sale stuff and the cans they collected along with money they had saved, they gathered up enough for Rock Band for the Wii. They are loving it! I may have to try it out soon. The drums look fun.

Cathy - How does the refund work with the kindle? Do you have a certain amount of time to preview a book and then return if you don't like it?
Oh yes, try CC outside! I think it would be really fun.
I really have no plans on spending the garage sale $$$ except for to pay for gas to go camping. How sad is that??? Garage sale money to pay for GAS.x(
No pics of the pups YET! ACK! I look every morning for them and they are still not there. Although, my nephew said that I will be bringing one of the pups home next weekend. He said the beagles he told me about were really cute....he just couldn't describe them to me. He's probably right - I'm such a sucker for pups and so is DH.
What w/o did you decide on today?
Any soccer this weekend??

Wendy - How great to solidify the bonds with BF. I know it's hard to find time for BF when life pulls you in so many directions. I talk to BF on the phone at least a couple of times a week, but really we don't see each other very often and we only live about 3 miles away from each other. It just seems like there is not enough time in the day. It always feels so great to just have time alone to shoot the sh!t.
Wow - it sounds like a really fun day with mom too. You certainly know how to take advantage of your time without DH and DS. What a wonderful afternoon!
Nope, no DOMS from L&B and I heavied up the weight too. I only have one week left and it's time to move on. I know that when I no longer get DOMS from the X, it's time for something else. Of coarse, in a few weeks, that w/o would kick my arse.
I don't like being without a car either! I had a tire issue last week and DH didn't have time to deal with it. He finally got it taken care of, but I hear ya on the "I don't like it" feeling.;-)

Diana - Missed ya these past few days. Glad to hear all is well.
Great job on the 7 miler! Hope your not too sore tomorrow. I also did 7 miles today on the EXT - but I didn't get the impact you did.
PP is actually a compilation of several different workouts. I didn't know that until this morning. It starts with the dreaded 2nd challenge of vol 7.}( Yikes!
Dinner sounds great! What ya grillin?

I think I'm gonna have a CAB and read a few more chapters. It's nice and cool now and I'm sure it won't be long before I fall asleep. It's gonna be great sleepin in! DH and the boys will be long gone by the time I wake up.....they are all going to a tractor pull tomorrow.
