CABs and Abs -- Thursday (weekend countdown is ON!)

[RunninTeach]

Good morning, girls!!! http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_happy-038.gif

It's back to work for me today...It'll be either a run or k'box for me this afternoon. I didn't do the abs last night - my stomach just wasn't right, so I'll get them today, for sure.

Did you guys see the post on the Open forum about the blog being broken (it was a joke)? Cathe responded that it should be "fixed" today!!! Yipeeeee!!!

Angie :: great job with CS yesterday! I know EXACTLY what you mean. That time of day is often a slump for me - I kinda crash and feel hungry. I think part of it has to do with my scheduled lunch being pretty early (11:20 - 11:50). But I do think I am feeling a bit more energized since I started taking a vitamin again...I was surprised to read MIL approached you...That seems like a positive step to me that she is initiating contact w/ loved ones...I'll keep her and your family in thought & prayer that she can get through this, and hopefully with some therapy, learn the necessary coping skills. Does DH have siblings in the area who can help as well?...*lol* about the smiley addiction. No, I kept that one under wraps...Yes, I am done with the Accutane...I finished in August, so I think it *should* be out of my system by now, but I'm not sure if any effects could be lingering. Good point...Someone referred me to this guy...I think he supposed to be good...but I'll talk to my chiro...maybe she can refer someone locally who can pursue the headache issue and spend a little more time. AMEN on what you've said about waiting and making appointments!!...Nope, not a Crock Pot user here but it sounds like I'm missing something!

Wendy :: Oh, OK, I didn't realize you did your w/out from home yesterday...I do remember the non-TM cardios being no joke!!!

Hi Diana, Laura, and Nancy!

All right, I just enjoyed a protein shake (with the Banana Nut Bread protein ~ mmm, mmm, good!!) for 3 pts. and now need to dry my hair (I'm actually DOING my hair today ~ something different!) and get ready. I have been doing well with points (I still have 29.5 of my 35 flex pts. remaining for the week), but am still up by .5 lb. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_doh.gif FRUSTRATING!!!

Have a great day!!! Will BBL to catch up.

Morning Gals.

Cathy: Sorry about your sour stomach y'day. Glad it's better this morning. Have a great day!

Angie: LOL, my DH is actually pretty cool about my periodical affairs with the UPS man. I hope therapy helps your MIL. Have fun on your much deserved camping trip this weekend. I'll be in A/C and I'll think of you went I tip back my first CAB!}(

Today is either something B&G or BBC Butt and Legs and then a run.

No work today so I think today is park day!

Heading to my mom's for a visit tonight. I'm not training so I'll actually be JOINING my son in the visit for the first time in a month! LOL My mom has been watching DS if I train BF at her place while DH is working O/T.

Yikes, cup is almost empty! Off to grab more java!:9

Morning girls

It feels weird to actually get on the boards first thing in the morning. Usually that's a good sign, meaning that I have a day off...but this day is already not going well and it's gonna be a busy one for sure. I have soooooo much to do, and with MIL's appt. this afternoon.....I might get called away to boot.x( So, I need to get my butt moving and get started on my very looonnnngggg to-do list.

Do you ever have those days when it just starts like crap, and you're thinking I might just as well give up already? Well, the house is a mess, the kitchen sink is clogged, and the satellite went out when I was watching the Today show while putting dishes away. ACK! I hope the rest of the day is not going to go this way.

Cathy - Sometimes I get the pucky feeling when I'm workin out too. It doesn't happen very often, but I think sometimes I push it a little much. Reminds me of that part in one of the X w/o when Tony says "makes me feel a little nautious.....I don't really like that too much"....yup Tony, I can relate. Gives me a little chuckle every time I hear him say it. Anywho....hope you don't have the heebie geebies today.
A blog update today???? Maybe that could be something to turn this stupid day around! Please, CATHE, please....save my day!!!
Have a good run and work those abs!! Glad you've got points saved for the weekend....maybe you can indulge in a few CABs??

Wendy - Speaking of CABs.....*lol* I plan on joining you in that for sure. Actually since I had spare calories last night I did have 2 beers. It's been a while since I've had a CAB but I'm sure I will have plenty this weekend. The reunion is here......this is one of the reasons I wanted to change my body, so I'm pretty excited to see everyone. I remember the last time I went to a reunion, I wasn't as excited to go because I wasn't too proud of how I looked. Very different outlook the whole thing this time.
Do you get to take off early on Friday to start your weekend early??
Have a fun day in the park with Joey!

Hi Diana & Laura & Nancy

Morning girls ..

I am zonked today .. it is dreary and I have had such an emotional week. More bizzare things are in the air .. my brother is involved in an officer investigation ..LONG sorted story .. picture thelowest of the low and it is this guy .. anyway .. I have been warned he may try something w/my family .. to be careful and have one open eye all the time ..

..aahhhhhhh ...$%#$%^@#^^@x( x( x( x( FREAKING LOW LIFE B@ST@RDS!!!

and my friend that has the crazy XSO .. her grandmother died yesterday .. bless her heart .. she has so much on her shoulders!!! I hope the XSO does not use this as an opportunity to catch her w/her guard down ... he will know she is weak and vulnerable and if he shows up to "comfort" her .. he knows she won't show her butt in front of her grieving family!! x( x( x( x(

AAHHHHHH .. what a freaking week!

ON a good note . . I can move now w/o too much pain .. that is the worse DOMS I have had in my buttocks in a loooooooong time!

I did power yoga last night and although some of the poses were painfull on the sore muscles I felt better after class. My entire class was MOANING and groaning .. so I was not the only one sore!! LOL}(

Tonight is super cardio! think I have tortured the muscles long enough .. gonna just let the heart do some extra pumping for a while!!

Wendy .. congrats to the BF weight loss .. WOW .. I know she is super excited and what a FIRST PT story!!

Angie .. hope today finds the MIL in a better spot!

Cathy - hate the appnt did not go as you were hoping .. sometimes it is so frustrating to find the right Dr. .. that is willing to go the extra mile~!

Diana .. from the lifting you have been doing .. you should have had worse DOMS than me ... LOL!!!

Ok .. that is all for now .. hope everyone has a great day! and I will BBL to check in w/you gals!!:7

Good Afternoon Everyone.

((((LAURA))))....Jeez what a week! Hope it gets better soon. Good job on the butt DOMS. That's my favorite kind!:7 :7 :7

Angie: So when exactly is your reunion again? I am going to drop DS off at MIL's for about 3:15 tomorrow and I am hoping to head down to A/C straight from there! Woo Hoo!:7 Sorry your day started out so crappy. I hope it's not turning out as bad as you thought it would be. (((hugs)))

I followed BBC Butt and Legs up with ITread n Tush at the gym today. Can someone say WHOA! I have to admit that I stopped short of COMPLETING the Itread work out though. I did about 30 of the 40 minute work out. I did not do the final strength/cardio interval. I am curious to see how this affects me now. Straight cardio after a lower body work out eases DOMS but I put in more l/b work too(no weights though atleast!)so who knows how I'll feel tomorrow! }( :7

Today is STEAM MOP DAY! Yes, I am excited! I'm such a loser! Now that my work out is out of the way I can "play" once Joey goes to bed. I'll be doing housework but it'll be kind of fun because I'll be using a new toy! LOL

Off to see what else is going on in the forums...BBL!

Hi Ladies,

I just saw the shipping announcement on the blog. I can't hardly wait to get the new w/o's.

This morning I did GS C&T and some abs. I'll probably tack on a coremax segment tonight. I also ran 5 miles at lunch today. The weather was perfect. I did walk a couple of times but don't feel bad about it since it's the first time I've ran in about 4 months. Of course both times were on hills and was almost at the top and just didn't have it in me to get those few extra steps in.

Cathy-Kickbox sounds great to me. I'm thinkin' about doin' that tomorrow morning. Glad to hear your stomach is feeling better.

Wendy-Is DH going to A/C with you or is it a girls weekend? Hat's off to you and your friend for both of your successes. Now you will have a success to use as a reference to boot I think I want a steam mop too. Anything to make the job easier is a good thing. If I could afford it, I would love to have someone clean my house.

Laura-I think you need a hot bath with some bubble, wine and candles to help you relax and recover from the week you've had. Take Care.

Angie-I'm glad to hear your MIL is doing better. I am surprised to hear that she wasn't automatically given a psych evaluation. Do your kids know what happened? I'm so sorry you and your family have to go through this situation.

Nancy-Hi Nancy-how are things going with your family and school? Hope all is well.

Diana

Hola, everybody!!!

Wendy :: oh yeah, my stomach’s fine today…Was just one of those fluke things where something just didn’t quite agree with me...OMG…Are you using that mop to keep yourself upright? Well, you probably don't need to, but I know I would! *lol*...What an insane in the membrane workout!!!…Have fun with your new toy!

Angie :: Yeah, I’m having a day that’s not too far from yours…today, I had a parent up in arms about a book in my classroom library (censorship issue)), got stuck in detour traffic this afternoon (nothing makes me scream inside my head like being stuck in gridlock), and apparently, I accidentally deleted a document for work that I can’t retrieve now. So yeah, I’ll enjoy a nice k’boxing session tonight!…I do sometimes get that if I go extra hard, but I do think this time around it was just something food-wise…Not a big deal, at any rate. It happens!…I probably will not indulge in any CABs this weekend. I *need* to see progress again on this dang scale!!…So do you have a hot outfit to rock at the reunion??…I meant to ask, too, how have you been liking the mineral makeup?

Laura :: man oh man! Could the stress level get any higher for you? Enjoy tonight’s supercardio to get some of it out!

ETA: Diana :: your post slipped in there w/out me catching it...great job with your run today! I doubt I would last 5 minutes at your elevation without being winded!...Oh yeah, the stomach is fine. Nothing serious. Just something I ate.

Have a GREAT night!

Just back to report my workout is done. I did KPC/L&G premix #14, incl. the abs. Quite the sweatfest!

I probably will not do tomorrow's workout in the AM, only b/c I have to scratch together the Word document I lost as I'll need it for class tomorrow. So tomorrow afternoon (after the chiro), it'll be HSC. I was supposed to do HST, but I had so much fun with HSC, I want to try the other premix.

Have a great night, girls!

Evening girls

I highly doubt I will be posting at the same time as anyone else tonight. Talk about a loooonnnngggg day. My day was starting to go better....got the drain unclogged, the satellite signal came back, the to-do list got started, and then.....BAM! I got the call from the doctors office....I ended up having to take in MIL to the treatment facility. It actually went pretty well......or as well as can be expected. I was encouraged after hearing what the doc there had to say and she was also very nice to MIL. She'll be there for a few days and I'm so relieved to not have to worry about her while we are gone downstate.

Laura - And I thought I had drama. Geez - hope you catch a break soon. There has been several full moons this month....
Please tell us you are going to get out of dodge this weekend for some much needed relax time. Oh, by the way, if you just suddenly stop posting, you do know you will totally freak us all out! Please be careful...

Wendy - The 20th......yes 20th class reunion is on Saturday. First a few of us are going out to play golf, which should be interesting since I have not played in years, then the actual reunion dinner is later on that night. It is actually only about 3 miles away from my sisters house, so we are going to pay my nephew to come and get us when the dust settles. He desperately needs gas money so we'll pay him to be our DD....it's a win/win for everyone.
Hope your legs are not toooo fried tomorrow morning. I'm surprised Cathy did not find you a mop smilie. :+

Diana - We told the kids the truth about their Grandma. I saw no reason to hide the truth from them. We are a pretty open family with a fairly small house, so the truth has a way of popping up anyways. Plus, no-body in this family can mangage to keep a secret....thankfully! I hope that lasts.
5 miles?? Great job especially after enduring Cathe torture earlier in the day.
If I don't get a chance to check in tomorrow....I'm keeping fingers crossed for Jarod's football game.

Cathy - I haven't really even had time to think about what I'm wearing to the reunion. It's very casual....so it'll be jeans and......I don't know yet.x( I never got a chance to pack today so it will be a "hurry up and go" mode tomorrow.:-( I hate that!
I hear you about the traffic.....ran into the same detour traffic on the way home from the facility. Grrrrrrr
As far as the makeup....I think I like it but I'm not very clever at it yet. Not that I was ever too clever with the other stuff either. I think it just gets some getting used to but it does "feel" better to me. I also think it probably looks more natural since I really don't use very much and you don't get the streaks that the liquid base can sometimes give.

OK - I'd better get to bed....I have a long day in front of me tomorrow. Hope to be back in the morning and drink my coffee with the computer.

Angie
