Cabs and Abs Thursday

[Fit_mommy]

Hi Cabbers.

Just gettin' us started here!

So today's work out will be 4DS shoulders weight work only in just a few short minutes and then I am planning on a trip to the gym for some cardio. Possibly HIIT on the EXT and then a short run on the TM but we'll see....

Ang: I appreciate your kind words regarding my weight but truth be told, it's been creeping up slowly since long before vacation. I am already down the bit I gained on vaca but I'm still up overall and need to do something about it! I went food shopping yesterday afternoon and bought the store! I spent about DOUBLE what I normally do. Needless to say I have PLENTY of healthy eats in the house! NO EXCUSES!!!

You must be clicking on the smileys down there vvvvv. Those are used to put a smiley in the title not in the body as I am sure you have realized. LOL

Laura: Wow, seems you have a B'day celebration every week! LOL Lucky you to have a good sized circle of friends! My circle has always been a tiny one. So how did the gtg go? Did the guest of honor show up?? Good to hear the air was on in class for you last night.

Diana: We need NEW carpet in 2 rooms of our home. I got DH to agree to it (he can be cheap! LOL) but now I just need to make a point of picking it out and setting up the appointment!!! I keep forgetting! School never starts in Jersey until after Labor Day weekend. It comes early this year so he'll likely start school the first week of September but I won't know for a fact until I get a letter in the mail from the school telling me the details we need to know.

Morning Ladies!

The gathering was nice .. the BF did show!! although she was 20 minutes late .. she never mentioned the jerk boyfriend NOR did we .. it was nice .. but smaller than usual. Yes it seems during the summer all my friends b-days are all right together .. I am about ready to get my Wed. early day back .. lol .. but .. SIL b-day is coming up in Aug. then mine in Sept .. then no more until May of next year!! WHEW ..LOL I did good .. only ate a salad and just a few fried pickles .. did indulge in some CABS though!!

Wendy ...think it is easy to spend double what you usually do in the grocery now .. OMG .. things are so high .. I have to eat lemons for my kidney stones .. and those little suckers are HIGH .. about 80 cent a lemon . . .. not to mention the prices of fresh fruit and veggies .. and MILK!! Luckily I dont drink much milk!! Hey .. been meaning to ask how is little Joey doing w/the PT???? sure he is getting it all figured out now!!

Angie .. the smilie icons .. if you dont see them to the right .. you need to go into your User CP .. and you can change your text editing .. I had the same problem . . they were not there .. nor was the fonts and bold and all the neat editing tools! HTH!!!!Imagine if you had not done B&G in a while YOU ARE SORE .. geeze that is one heck of a butt and leg w/o .. I do alot of those exercises in my classes .. but packing them all into one w/o is so HARD!

Di .. vacationing to do work at the house .. I feel your pain ... not fun!! But will be a relief once it is all said and done! Congrats to your son and the FB .. WOW .. that is an honor .. too bad your gonna miss the big game ... sure you will be having a blast at the RT though!

Today's plan is a combo of plyo work and heavy leg overload ..then a power yoga cooldown!

OK .. better run and get busy ... will BBL to check in w/you girlies ..

Hello Ladies.

My work out is done. 4DS shoulders/calves/core weights got done at 7am and I got home from the gym a few minutes ago where I decided to do CC #3 for just over a 3 mile run. Felt good. Now I can do whatever I wish at nap time like um...take a nap perhaps! LOL I really need to do some housework too though...

Laura: Glad everything went well last night. Joey is doing sooooo well with potty training! He was afraid to poop in the potty but when we went away on vacation that was suddenly cured. No idea what happened but he just started pooping on the potty of his own free will and hasn't stopped! No accidents at all! (knock on wood!) He has been napping in regular underwear for weeks now and has only had a couple of accidents. The next step is overnight...I'm not ready to go there yet. LOL Soon though!

Hi ladies,

I've been busy cleaning Jerod's room, dresser and closet. Wow, I don't know how he accumulates so much stuff-and trash. Why don't kids throw their trash away instead of leaving it on the floor etc. Jerod and I are also going through his bookcase and taking some old books to a book trading store.

This afternoon I will be doing GS BSB and I have bootcamp class tonight. The temp is supposed to be 99 to 101 for the next 3 days. I will be subbing the scheduled 3 mile run on the elliptical today. I'm not sure what to do for Saturday's long run 12 miles. I know I can't take the heat so I might try going to the rec ctr and running on the treadmill.

Wendy-I bet you are so happy that Joey is potty trained now. If he has been wearing pullups for a while without any accidents, he's probably ready for underwear at night. Good luck with the carpet. We also need to replace our carpet but it's just not in the budget right now. I'm jealous that your workout is already done and mine hasn't even started. Did you sign up for the nutrition program??? What do you think of it?

Laura-The guest of honor was 20 minutes late...Well at least she showed and knew better than to bring up the BF. I have a small circle friends to. Most of my friends are parents of my kids friends and few close coworkers I consider friends. BTW-thanks for the tip on color, FONT, etc. I didn't have all those either!

Angie-Where are you missy? Hope you are having a great day!!

BBL

Diana

Hello loverlies

I was in town for over 5 hours today. I had 9 stops to make....that was gas well spent. *lol* But, am glad to be home....I don't like that many errands, especially with the kids and dog in tow. I had to take the kids b/c they badly needed haircuts and I didn't want to leave the pup home that long.

I called the camper place to see when we could pick up the camper and they said 2 weeks! I said WHAT?!?!?!? They told me last week that it should be done in a couple of days. Well, apparently there was a mis-communication and a mix up in campers. Needless to say I am NOT happy! So, now we don't even know if it's gonna be fixed by the time we go to the nascar race. I guess we'll just have to wait and see but even if they get it done before the race, it's gonna be hard to get it back in time to get it cleaned up and packed, especially considering the fact that I won't get back until Sunday or Monday from the RT. I was hoping to have all of that stuff done before I left. Grrrrrr!!! We'll still go to the race, but we'll have wasted a LOT of fuel and time by getting it back before it is fixed. And then of coarse, it will look like crap and we'll have to figure out a way to get it back down there again for repair, and the place is 2.5 hours south of us. I'm crossing my fingers that they can put a rush on it and get it done in time as they now know I am NOT a happy camper.

Ok - taking a deep breath and trying to lose the bad mojo. It's all small stuff right?? I'm thinking about going down and doing PP. That should take the wind outta my sails! After that I'll be too tired to be mad.

Diana - Sorry the running is not going along like you had hoped. I would like to get out there more often, but my knee does not like the running at all! I did get a new pair of Saucony's today though, so maybe I should try again with a new shoe.
Wow - sounds like your dad is really lucky! I'm sure that was quite a shock to your mom and dad. But, it sounds like they caught it in time. Whew!
I hear you on wanting to hire everything out. I'm in that boat now. I wish someone would just come in and order everything and install it. I'm horrible at that kind of stuff! It sounds like it's going to be a pricey project on my end....I can't believe how much all this stuff costs! And, the siding guy said that they are expecting a price increase in early September, so we are under the gun to get this decided and ordered.
Awwwwww - good job to Jarod. Too bad about the timing though.
My kids go back after Labor Day, the 2nd I think.
My kids have trash in their room too....what's up with that??

Laura - Thanks for the icon help! I finally figured it out. Ya, I didn't have the smilies to the right and I was confused as heck....but with the computer it sure doesn't take much. *lol*
Plyo, legs, and yoga eh? I sure hope you have the air on tonight!
Glad the party was good. Hmmmmmm - looks like more partying in the future too.

Wendy - I am jealous of you! Already all done with the workout....I love that feeling of accomplishment so early in the day. Although, it doesn't happen with me very often.
Great news on the PT. I'll bet he's proud of himself too.
So, did you do the One on One workout yet??

I'd better get downstairs and try and tackle PP. Wish me luck!

Angie

Di ... glad you found the neat editing tools!! and there is even a spell check .. BOY do I ever need that one .. I am so used to mine correcting me automatically sometimes I really screw up some spelling!!

So you got scorching temps too???? think that 3/4 of the country was predicting scorching temps!! Unfortunately here we have the added fun of having HIGH HUMIDITY!!! it is nasty out there!!!

Wendy .. congrats to Joey . . almost time for that virtual Pee Pee in the Potty Party!! Woo hoo .. you go little man!!!

one more hour and I am done here .. bring on the sweatfest!!!

BTW .. I was looking at the July RT pics .. OMG ...Cede looks AMAZING!! she is in better shape than I have ever seen her .. due to STS maybe??? come on STS .. sending out and SOS for STS!!

 

[Poochy]

Hey Ang .. we were posting at the same time .. DANG .. hate that about the camper . AINT THAT THE WAY IT GOES??? Everything went too smoothly .. it is in the details that things seem to hinder you huh??

My "service engine soon" light came on .. and I made an apnt to have it checked out .. then found out I could use any Nissan dealership .. so called a closer one .. and he told me that if my gas cap was loose it could cause that light to go on .. and if I came in under warranty and that was it that it would cost me $110 .. to check that first .. WELL .. today I filled up and I just be dang if the gas cap popped off w/o even any pressure from me .. told the service guy that and he said that was probalby it .. that it takes a day or two to reset .. but I should be fine! WOW .. a service guy that actually saved me money AND time ... WOW.. that is rare!!

sounds like a hectic but time well spent day for you .. yup .. PP will make you so tired you will forget you are pi$$ed!! LOL have a great session w/my darling Sean!!

 

[angie_nrs]

Press Play done!

Oh Laura - How you handle that hot and sticky weather all the time is beyond me! We're supposed to get hit with the heat and humidity on Monday instead of the weekend. Thank goodness!! At least on Monday I will be working anyways.

Cede does look wonderful doesn't she??? I'm with ya.....come on STS! I don't know if you noticed, but there was a blog update yesterday and they are now working on the music. I'm sure it's gonna be great.

Wow - great news on the car repairs. So an honest repair man actually exists? You'll have to remember him and go there the next time you have an issue.

Oh yes - PP burned 680 calories, went almost 7 miles, and took my anger right out the window! If we have to take the camper down the way it is......I guess it's no big deal but it kinda upsets me a bit since it's a NEW camper. I just gotta remember - it's all small stuff. This problem doesn't even compare to the mess I've recently dealt with.

Tomorrow I will be doing an upper body of some sort. Maybe CTX UB? Gotta work again and get things all caught up so next week will go smoothly.
