***Cabs and Abs*** Tear It Up Tuesday!

[Fit_mommy]

Hi Girls.

I am chuggin' the coffee tryin' to wake up here. I awoke with a headache. I am hoping it goes away soon. I want to hit the gym this morning for a run...CC volume 3 perhaps? I will also be doing 4DS Shoulders/Core/Calves. I have some awesome chest DOMS from y'day's work out! Cathe tore me up! I'm soooo not used to her style of weight training these days. The change should do me good.

Ang: It's a very rough road you've traveled but I'm glad to hear that things are starting to improve for you again. I smiled at the term "piss and vinegar". I use it. I like it. It works. Good job gettin' a run in. What work out will you do today? The new website/forums are loaded with new features, etc. It sure is a lot to learn but it's really quite cool! The nutrition software seems like it is amazing. I am considering purchasing a membership in order to use it. Have you checked it out yet?

Di: Sorry your class at the rec ctr wasn't more exciting. So do you have any potential plans to go out to Utah to visit your babies over the next several months?

Laura: Will you PLEASE take your heat back, girl!?!?

 

[Fit_mommy]

Ang and Di: So the RT is comin' up FAST! Are you girls excited? I'm having alot of trouble getting psyched for it. I was excited when I signed up, bummed when I didn't have a roomie, excited when I got one and now I'm just not feelin' it again. HELP! I don't know what my problem is!!! I am dyin' to meet you girls so it's not that. I think I just have cold feet since I'm very shy and quiet and I am going there ALONE.

hello ladies

Man it has been one crazy day!!

Well .. last night the air was NOT on .. and OMG .. it was too freaking hot in there!! I tried to do some cardio .. but it was just to terribly hot .. so I went to the floor and did some old floorwork I have not done in ages .. and OH MY .. my buttocks are painful to the touch today .. some of the girls upon leaving told me if I woke up and my ears were burning .. rest assured it was them giving me up the road!! LOL

SO today I am CALLING to remind them to turn on the air .. why they dont leave it on is beyond me .. ??? .. if it is OK and doable in there I plan on teaching my plyo, plank, core matt class!!! YIKES .. more DOMS!

Wendy .. looks like my temps are here to stay a while .. you should be getting some rain from the remnants of the storm out there right?? Maybe you will get some relief ... here the air is so thick you could cut it w/a knife!

Di .. hoping the quiet house is not getting to ya .. sorry the class was kinda boring .. you could hop on over to AL and I could jump start your workouts w/some hot humid Lt. Laura's torture!! LOL

Ang .. glad things are lightening up a bit .. know you are still grieving and know you are still hurting ... hang in there!! Glad the new pup is finding her own groove!! Has she done what I call a "puppy tear" .. that is when they take a million miles a minute w/a look of pure excitement and mischief on their face??? Buster STILL does that ever now and then .. especially after a bath .. or when he rediscovers an old favorite toy he forgot about!! LOL .. gotta love it!! I am glad my class LOVES to be tortured .. and SIL is the one that fusses the most but is always raring to go!! LOL

Well .. my friend in TX w/cancer is having surgery today .. say a prayer for her strength and that is goes ok. I talked w/her last night and she was in good spirits .. just ready to get on w/it and tackle this mountain and looking forward to getting better .. so at least that is good!!

OK girlies .. it has taken me forever to write this .. better run .. i will be back later to check in w/you girls!!

Where are my cabbers? Come out come out wherever you are!!!

Well I decided to bag the planned TM run. I just wasn't feelin' it this morning. My energy level was low. I'm feelin' better now though (after a 20 min snooze!) so I'm opting for some cardio after my weight work out. It will likely be HIIT so that it's a short but effective hit!

Be back afterwards!

ETA: YAY, Laura and I were posting at the same time so I'm officially not alone here anymore! Thanks Laura! LOL

Wendy ... I know by the time you get to the roadtrip you will be a bundle of energy .. I am like that too .. I get myself worked up into a frenzy .. I am kinda shy when I first meet someone (ok .. you just spit out your cofee huh .. no I am serious .. I am somewhat shy at times) ... once I get over the initial "meet and greet" .. it is on .. my "real" personality shines thru .. LOL .. You will have a BLAST .. just wish i was there w/all you girls!!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Laura: My thoughts and prayers are with your friend. Is the surgery exploratory or to remove a tumor? Sorry about the hot room. I don't understand why the air would get turned off at all until all classes, etc are DONE for the day/night!? I am hoping you are right re the roadtrip. I was so bummed when I couldn't get in last year and I can't recall which but I was either VERY pregnant or had a newborn for the roadtrip prior to that so I couldn't go. I'd hate to not enjoy myself now that I am actually able to go!!!

Hi Girls,

I've lost 2 posts already on my laptop. Not sure what I'm hitting that causing them to go away. Third times a charm....I'm hoping anyway.

I was too tired mentally and physically to go to bootcamp last night. I hate when that happens. I did run my scheduled 3 mile run this morning and had time for some laundrymax too.

My muscle definition, strength and endurance have gone out the window with the marathon training. I'm hoping to add in STS to the marathon training as soon as I get it.

Wendy-Sorry you are not psyched about the RT. I'm going to put together my RT binder with all my documents. Maybe doing that will get you in the spirit!!

Angie-glad you are back and are starting to feel a bit better. Nice job getting that run in. I love the name maggie and can't wait to see pictures. Can you believe how fast the summer has gone by?? Jerod only has one more week of summer camp and then it will by fightmax at my house until school starts. Speaking of school, the moved the start day up a week to Aug 19th. Jerod will be getting out of school at the end of May now. That will be nice.

Laura-yep, you read that right. I was too tired for bc class. OMH-Doesn't someone turn on the air and the fans in your room at least an hour before class. That's what they do at my rec ctr anyway. I love Lt. Laura-hadn't heard that before. I would love to take one of your classes. Maybe you could come to CO for vacation and teach a private class.

Gotta run...

YEOWZAS! Workin' shoulders HURTS with sore chest muscles! HOLY COW! LOL

I did the blast portions of BM2 power circuits for my HIIT after my weight work. I put 60 seconds of rest/marching in place after each blast. It worked out well!

GTG...have to shower up to head up to MIL's for dinner soon!

BBL or tomorrow!

Hey .. Wendy .. RE: my friend .. she had a double masectomey about 25 years ago ... and reconstruction .. now she is having one breast removed along w/the tumor .. this is the tumor that was not responding well w/the chemo (that was making her so sick) .. we are just praying for the best .. and hoping that she wont have to do the bad chemo anymore!! Have not heard anything yet on her .. imagine she is still in surgery .. ?? it was at 2:00!

 

[Poochy]

Hey .. DI ... yeah . .you would think the air should be turned on at minimum an hour before class .. but they dont ..?? .. I am the FIRST class .. they dont have day time classes in there .. but allow people in and out during the day .. so if they would keep the air ON this would not be an issue .. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP .. they dont realize turning it on and off actually uses MORE energy .. but if it is not on again today .. we are gonna have to have a "meeting" .. or I will have to cancel classes .. b/c it is just WAAAAAY TOO HOT .. someone is gonna pass out!!

Hello girls

Better late than never right? Di you hit it right on the head when you said time is flying by!! I'm already trying to get things figured out for this weekend since we are leaving Friday about noon and taking company with us, so I HAVE to be ready this time. Plus, my desk has been loaded so I have worked the last 2 days and will be there again tomorrow too and then have to go grocery shopping. I am sooooo ready to have some down time.

Wendy - I love the 4DS DOMS! What a great idea combining 4DS with a short CC. Hmmmmm - I might have to steal that idea! And BM2....I haven't done that one in ages. I forgot what the blast sections are even like.
I've heard a bit about the nutrition forum but haven't had a chance to check out all the cool stuff on the fourm. (uhum - like how to use the icons) *lol* I've just been able to manage a quick post before bed and that's been it since the new site came on.
You are NOT alone!! Although, I do feel your reluctance. I'm kinda in the same kind of funk even though I am so eager to meet everyone! I just have not had the time to think about it or even look at the calendar. I guess I'd better get doing that after this weekend huh? It's always scary meeting new people and doing things outside our comfort zones....just know we are all in the same boat and I have NO doubt what-so-ever that we are gonna have a ball! I'm just praying that I don't have any travel blunders.

Laura - Leave it to you to figure out some form of torture when the air was not on. I think I would've bagged it and hit the pool. *lol* It's humid here too but the temps are in the 60 and 70's so it's not bad at all - it even drops to the 50's at night. Ahhhhh - great sleeping weather!
I'm most definitely saying a prayer for your friend. She sounds like such a fighter. Waiting for news is exhausting. Hoping, praying, and wishing for the best.
Oh yea, Kirby would get her puppy groove on too when she got out of the tub. It was the funniest damn thing to see a "senior" dog act like a puppy. Now that we have a puppy, I'm so ready for it to grow up a bit. She's doing pretty good with the potty training, but I'm getting tired of getting bit all the time, even though I know she's only playing. Geez dog, leave some skin ya know?? LOL!

Diana - Soak up the downtime. I know missing a workout is not something that you like to do, but it's a must at times.
Holy cow, Jarod is starting school mid-August??? Michigan passed a law last year that school can NOT start until after Labor Day. The local businesses were having a fit b/c they lost all of their summer help well before the summer season was over. So now it's uniform across the state. It didn't really affect us much in northern MI b/c we started later anyways. So is he excited about going back or is he a typical teenager and dreading the start of school?
I think I have most of my Cathe notebook stuff printed out, now I just have to get it organized and together. I also need to check my email for an itinerary. I think Kathy was gonna get those out this week.

Hi Cathy!!

Oh, I did manage to do Muscle Endurance today. I don't really like being cooped up in the basement to workout when the weather is sooo nice, but I didn't dare give my knee another shock so soon. Gotta go tackle yet another load of laundry. Chat with you lovely ladies tomorrow.....

Angie

Oh, BTW Wendy and Di - did you try to get in using your old user names lately? Chris changed the settings so that you can actually use you old name and get your password to change now. I didn't know if you were interested, but if you are you might want to give it another shot and see how it goes.
