[font color=blue] Morning Chicas!:*[/font color]

[font color=purple]I think my lower body has FINALLY recovered from Friday's leg blast. I was hoping to wake up sore up top this morning. So far my wish has not come true. Later on perhaps...}( [/font color]

[font color=green] So not much else goin' on. It's been cool and rainy for days. I am lovin' the cooler temps but the rain has got to go! UGH!x( [/font color]

[font color=orange] Today's work out is a run, ofcourse. What else did you expect? LOL Not sure if Grace will assist me today or if I'll go it alone but I'll report back on my decision once it's done. LOL[/font color]

Morning ladies ..

wow quiet bunch since I have been back .. guess Angie is still at the races .. and Cathe is trying to soak up the final days of summer .. LOL!!

Wendy I am glad your temps are cooler .. this is the THIRD consecutive week of temps in the triple digits for us!!!:eek: .. last week (while I was in Paradise) we had temps of 106 and 107 .. YIKES .. I am glad I missed that! Today is supposed to be 100 .. tommorrow 101 .. no telling what the freaking heat index says .. no rain in sight for us. They said we had a storm last Friday night .. the only sight of rain in several weeks ..

I am going to try to have SIL a poolside b-day party (surprise) Sat .. so we will see ... hard to get everyone's schedule together. Had to bribe DH to get him to postpone a fishing trip!! (won't mention what the bribe was}( ) .. so hoping the rain holds off for that day anyway!

Last night was step circuit class ... and the room was SO FREAKING HOT .. x( .. you kow it is bad when you are breaking a sweat during the warm up .. gosh I hope tonight is better .. if not I will not be able to teach kickboxing in that heat .. will have to do yoga or something else not so heat churning!

OK .. errands at lunch .. I am still in catch up mode .. PLUS I have major PMS and cramps ... and suffering from vacation/lag .. LOL .. tonight's workout is depending on the temp of the room! DANG IT!

OK .. I am going to BBL to check in w/everyone .. have a great day ... and great sweaty workouts (I know mine will be sweaty no matter what I do )

[font color=red]Hey Laura.

Good luck getting the party together for your SIL! How nice of you to try to do this for her. :) Yikes about the temps by you is right! I'll take my cool rainy weather thank you very much!:p Sorry about the room you work out in being hot. Is this the norm when it gets really hot outside or is this due to an a/c unit being on the fritz?

Well, I did ITread 5/60 mins this morning at the gym. It felt really good.

Hope some others peek in today!

BBL![/font color]
 
Hey Wendy ..

did I run everyone off?? LOL

Not sure what the problem was w/the heat in the room . . thinkin a combo of temp - humidity - and someone late turning on the A/C .. going to call in this afternoon to remind them ...

SIL has NEVER had a real B-day party .. her family did not really give b-day parties .. we have had "get togethers" at local restaurants .. but not a "party" .. DH was reluctant .. but hopefully all will turn out right ... have to get DB to do some fancy talking and manuvering ... LOL ... to make sure she gets there!! LOL keeping my fingers crossed!

hope to see the others too ... maybe they will peep their little heads in for a bit!!:7

Oh Laura,

I'm sure it's not YOU that scared our girls off. Probably just busy. Or perhaps they are too ashamed to post if they haven't worked out yet today? :p

Cathy posts over in the Cheethas Check In as well and hasn't been seen there in 2 days either. I am thinkin' she's just super busy preparing for the new school year. I hope that's all it is anyway!
 
Hey girls! :)

Nope. Nobody's scared me off. :) Have just been extremely busy the past few days. Maxing out on summer? I wish. I've been working mornings on curriculum and setting up my classroom in the afternoon, with a bit of tutoring in between today.

I didn't have a chance to go back to the old posts, but it sounds like you had a great time on vaca, Laura. Glad you're back!

Wendy :: I'm liking the temps, too. Now if only we could get rid of this rain. I'm gettin' itchy to get out there!

I started a new rotation yesterday (another round of the lower body blastin' Aug. 04, with my own twist, of course)...so yesterday was SM#2 and tonight will be LL + CTX k'box instead of a run. (It's been raining for days.) Oh, BTW, lost 1/2 inch from the booty, 1 inch from the waist, and 0 from the thighs, but that's OK. The past couple of days, I keep running into people from school who haven't seen me in awhile, and they all seem to think I've lost some weight since June, which feels GREAT, esp. since I was in a bit of a slump last week! Just had to share that with my girls. Know you all understand better than most peeps IRL.

Hi to Angie, Nancy, and Diana if you're around! Have a great night, all. :)

Hi Ladies,

It was superbusy at work this morning. I won't bore you with the network problems that kept at work until almost 7pm last night. I was about 15 minutes late to bootcamp-better late than never! This morning I did lowmax and will be heading to the basement for S&H Chest & Triceps. I can't wait for the kids to go back to school and things to settle down. I'm tired of rushing all the time.

Wendy-I'll take some of your rain here in CO. It was 99 today. We have a cold front moving in and it is supposed to be in the 80's the rest of the week. I don't like running in the rain either, but I do enjoy the cooler temps it brings. And yes-I did workout this morning:)

Laura-You poor thing, triple digits with humidity-that sounds miserable. I hope they get the AC cranked for you tonight. It's not a fun workout when it's that hot.:) Hope the party plans and party go well.

Cathy-I figured you were busy with school stuff. When do you go back? Great job on the inch loss. I'm feelin' pretty good about myself too. Of course my weigh in tomorrow could blow that. I did have one day of "binge eating" but other than that I've been great.

Good Afternoon to Angie and Nancy.

Hey, Diana! Yikes ~ long night last night! Glad you still made it to boot camp, though. Now THAT'S dedication!! I'm the same here - not fond of running in the rain. Will do it if the mood strikes, but has to be warm. Makes me realize how obsessed I *used* to be - I'd run in anything, I mean any weather imaginable. No wonder I toyed with the idea of becoming a postal carrier at one point. *lol*(My parents were ready to shoot me as I nearly dropped out of college - long story - but it was just a "thing" I went through after a death in the family.) Anywho, I officially go back the day after Labor Day. I have been in the school several days a week for a few hours. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do b/c I've run out of storage space, but I still have about 5 boxes to unpack. ??? I have thrown stuff away, and am still trying to downsize, but it's going to take some creativity to make it all work...Thanks for the cheers. After last week's beat-myself-down mode, I'm back to feeling good again about my progress. It might be small progress, but it's progress!! :) Good luck at weigh-in tomorrow. I'll bet you'll do great with how hard you've been working. I can't say I have been good with eating AT ALL.

Wonder where Angie is. I thought they would be camping but just for the weekend. Did I miss something?

Nancy, I know you're going through some bumps. If you're reading, just want you to know we're thinking of you. Sending (((HUGS))), too.

Oh, forgot to report that I did LL (incl. the abs) + CTX k'box wearing weighted gloves. I like that for a short, little sweatfest. But man, that LL still slays me every time.

Hi girls

We got back from the races yesterday afternoon but was too busy unpacking to even turn on the computer. I am bushed!! Boy, vacation sure does take the wind out of the sails. LOL We had a really fun time partying for 4 days straight, but I need some sleep, exercise, and healthy eats since there's been none of that for a while.:eek: Actually they ended up racing today.:-( The race was postponed for 2 days due to rain - we just couldn't stay down there for a 2 day rain delay. I watched a clip in TV today and the stands were pretty bare. But, we had fun anyways.

So, after I pressed the snooze for almost 2 hours this morning.....I finally dragged my butt to work and got home and did BM2 cardio & weights premix. I'm having a bit of a problem getting my eats back under control too.x( I always have terrible cravings after falling off the wagon for a few days. I should be back on track tomorrow or Thursday.

Laura - Welcome back from your trip.:) I haven't had time to go back and read up on the posts, but I will. I'm sure you had a good time. So, how about scuba pics??
I'll bet SIL will be really surprised and touched that you decided to throw her a party. Hope everything falls into place.

Wendy - We got all kinds of rain in south MI but we came back home to blue skies and dry grounds. We're supposed to get rain here this week. I sure do hope so. But, we saw all kinds of flood warnings downstate and in Ohio and Indiana. Those people might need an ark soon.:7
Cool temps are great to workout in aren't they? Do you still run in the rain too?

Diana - I hear you about the kids going back to school. I'm not sure it's really going to help me much though. When school starts, they will just have homework added to an already busy schedule.;( When football and soccer gets over in the late fall - that might help. Although, to have them out of here on my days off.......yup, that might be helpful after all.;-)

Cathy - That is so cool about the comments you are getting! It feels great doesn't it?? You know you are making progress when people notice and make comments. I got a couple from my nascar buddies too that I only see a couple of times a year. It's those folks that you don't see on a regular basis that really notice the changes, even when you may not see it yourself.
So do you start after Labor Day? Where the heck did the summer go???

Nancy - If I remember right, you have already started back again?

Well girls - I will be hitting the rack early tonight and going back to work tomorrow. :-( Check back with you all later

Angie
