Hi Girls.

So we are heading out to the zoo this morning and then out to a chinese food lunch. Probably won't be back until mid afternoon at best. Just wanted to get us going...now the rest is up to you ladies!

Ang: That makes 2 of us that suck at bowling!:7 My sister has 2 boys as well as the 4 girls but the boys are at camp right now. Sorry you were disappointed with Pump. Just so you know, you can get full descriptions as well as the lengths of the CC work outs on Sean's site. I still need to grab up Press Play but I'm holding off as I haven't even done 7 and 8 yet!

BBL~

Good Morning ladies,

I should be out running this morning but I woke up a little too late. If I didn't have to get Jerod to his football camp I would have plenty of time for my 5 miler. I will try to hit the treadmill at lunch.

The evening bootcamp classes have been kickin' my butt. Monday night we started off with runnint a timed mile-then on to
skip for distance 100 yards, 20 pushups
skip for height 100 yards, 20 pushups, 25 jacks
skip for distance 100 yards, 20 pushups, 25 jacks, 2 hills
skip for height 100 yards, 20 pushups, 25 jacks, 2 hills, 20 lunges

back pedal(run backwards) 100 yards, 2 hills, 10 pullups, 25 situps (we did this one 4 times). I was tired by the end of class.

Wendy-I love Press Play! I've only done it once but its a real toughie. I use the elliptical at home for it. I think its about 65-70 minutes and the time flies. Have a great day at the zoo! Sorry about the tips

Angie-Hope MIL is recovering nicely. She sure is lucky to have a DIL like you to help take care of her! What kind of torture do you have planned for today?

Laura-heavy shaping sounds awesome! The class I take at the rec ctr uses bands, body bars, gliders, jump ropes, balance discs etc. The bands are really hard for me. I'm with Angie-I can't imaging trying to combine 2 households into one. Good luck finding a place for everthing.

Amanda has decided to take the girls and move home to her mom's house. She will be taking the baby girlies with her I'm so disappointed. Her mom and moms's SO are flying out her on Sunday and driving back the uhaul to Oregon. On the 25th, DS Amanda and the girls are flying back to Oregon and then DS will fly back home on the 27th.

BBL

Morning Ladies!!

OMG .. my heavy weighted 6 step class left me breathless and muscles quivering!! }( .. I was really expecting to have MAJOR DOMS this morning .. seeing as to how badly I was shaking last night.. but just woke up w/the nice heavy muscles feeling ... kinda tight and heavy .. but no pain (so far) ..which is good .... SIL again told me to forget working legs at luncht today b/c I was so horribly mean in class!! LOL .. oh well!!

Wendy .. your sister has SIX KIDS!!!! OH MY!!! you gotta lot of baby making to catch up w/that .. LOL!!! YIKES .. if you have a couple more then when you and your sis and the kids get together it would be like one big party for the kids huh?? My SIL has 2 sisters each w/two kids ... so when they have sleep overs it is like a small army of kids running around .. the house is always a disaster area after a sleepover .. LOL!!! Have fun at the ZOO today .. chinese food .. YUMMY!!!!

Angie .. I didn't order PUMP either .. just seems too slow for me .. I like doing my own thing w/weights anyway .. unless I am doing a Cathy or Tony w/o!! We're on the same page w/that one!! Hopefully little Miss Snoopy will sleep in and you can sleep in as well!! Sending some positive vibes up for the MIL .. any bowel/stomach surgery is a toughie .. hoping everything is gonna be fine!!

Di .. when is your marathon?? I forget .. sounds like your training is coming along great .. I could NEVER run a marathon .. my hats off to all you girls that do though .. WOW .. what an accomplishment!! I will just do my part as ya'lls cheerleader!!! :7

Since SIL is gonna be a no show on weights . not sure what I am gonna do today .. no class tonight .. and the first Wed. I get to go home early .. so I know I will be swimming some laps in the pool this afternoon!!

OK . better run .. Boss is in another office today .. and I have got some work to get done .. have a great one .. and I will BBL to see what you girls are up to!:7

DI .. we were posting at the same time!!

sorry about the girls moving ;( .. I know you are going to miss them terribly .. how far away is that for you??? Is it where you can visit once in a while .. ?? I hope so ...

BC class sounds UBER HARD!! You should have been totally spent at the end of class .. I know I would have been .. is it only an hour?? seems like a lot in an hour???

my heavy weighted class was tough ... sometimes I use bands and balls in the class but last night stuck w/dumbbells! I did 6 cycles of 20 reps each leg heavy weights step ups - heavy upper body - med. weighted lower body - pushups/planks .. the legs were FRIED at the end of class!

Again .. so sorry about the girls moving .. I would imagine it's gonna be a big void for a while .. hang in there ...

Hey girls

Snoop slept in but DH called and woke me up.}( Poor guy is having a MONDAY I swear! I sure hope his day gets better.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet today. I'm changed and ready to go but don't have a plan. I'm thinking of eating a light lunch and then maybe hit the road for a run. I think run's help slim my hips so it sounds like a decent plan. We'll see....

Wendy - Now that I think about it I think I opted for Pump b/c I got to choose a free CD and it was the only one I didn't have. I'm thinking maybe I "knew" it was a short workout when I ordered it, but forgot about that in the meantime. Early Altzheimers I guess.
Have fun at the zoo with the kiddos. I'll bet they'll LOVE it!

Diana - Again BC sounds killer. I hope the weather is cooler for you to be able to "enjoy" the BC classes.
I'm not really taking care of MIL. I'm sure she'll need some help when she gets back home, but we'll probably have to get home health care to do it. Hopefully she won't need much help. I can help out a bit, but I will not be there all the time. I am just too busy this time of year and quite honestly (and selfishly) I just don't feel it's my place to do it. I wish she would have spoken to her family about an "elective" surgery before she just went ahead and scheduled it. She just rushed into it and didn't think ahead at all. This is the busiest time of year for all of us and with the economy the way it is right now, we HAVE to work when the work is available. Her oldest son is an excavator so he is working constantly right now. If she had elected to do this surgery in the winter, he could have been available to help since he is not working then. She does have brothers and sisters to help, but I'm not sure how willing they are going to be either. I hate to say it, but it's just so exhasting (emotionally) to be around her when she is healthy - let alone what it's going to be like when she is sick. I half think that she had the surgery hoping that she would die in the process. Ahhhhhhhh - I feel like such a b!tch with the feelings I have but it's just so frustrating to try and help someone who really doesn't want to take the initiative to help herself. In the meantime, I'm gonna bite my tongue and do what I can.....at least I'm gonna try.
So sorry to hear about Amanda's move. Does this mean that Cody and Amanda are splitting up or he is moving out there too? Did Amanda decide to go to school in the fall? I'm sure it's a big change for everyone involved. I hope everything turns out for the best. I'm sure she is thankful for the support you and DH have given. (((hugs))) I can't imagine how hard this is for you. :-(

Laura - Swimming sounds like a great time! You are so fortunate to have a pool in the hot summer heat. Do the pooches get in there too?
So you tuckered out your class huh? *lol* And SIL doesn't like you again? *lol* You are like the energizer bunny I swear!
How many classes do you teach per week?

OK - gotta go make lunch - it's taken me forever to post this since I've been interrupted by phones calls....

Later girls

Hey Di ..

Darned husbands .. they can mess up our ME time huh??? LOL ... hate he is having a MONDAY on a HUMP DAY .. NOT GOOD at all!!

SIL said she can barely sit today .. her butt and thighs hurt too bad .. not to mention she said her abs and shoulders are just as bad .. yeah .. she is ticked again .. but she loves it .. I know she does!! LOL

I usually teach 4 class a week .. and SIL meet at lunch and do weights .. this summer I cut back to 3 classes a week b/c of the heat .. and it is a scorcher today .. the pool is gonna be blissfull!!! The pooches dont get in the water .. they run beside me barking until they get hot and want to go inside .. then they get in the A/C and stand at the door and watch me!! silly things!! spoiled silly things!! LOL :+

OK . . better run ..

Hey Laura - Crackin' up about the dogs. Spoiled??? Nah! LOL!

I just packed DH a good lunch b/c he was truckin' by the house so he made a pit stop at the end of the driveway and Cam handed him his lunch pail. I packed him a goodie so I hope it helps turn his day around.

Your gonna have to get SIL an air donut so she can sit!}( But, she keeps comin' back for more....

I just got an email about the forums being down for a couple of days. So, if I don't get a chance, hope you all have a good couple of days...

I got this in my e-mail today.
Thought my cabber girls would appreciate this......

A recent study was done to show the effect of the failing stock market.

Here is what they found

Retirement plans compared...

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.

With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $214.00.



Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Ang .. LOL .. gonna have to start drinking cans .. LOL!!!!

Hey .. when are the boards going down??? I did not get an email .. ???
