Good Morning Girls. :)

It's so nice to be missed. :+ Diana and Angie had me crackin' up! I WISH I was busy doing all of the work outs from the new 4 day split!}( And thank goodness it's not because I was too sick either! I still don't feel wonderful but I am holdin' steady which is better then getting worse!

I was just busy....I had a neurologist appt for DS in the morning which my mom came with me to so afterwards we went out to lunch. When I got home, I got DS up for his nap and came on to the forums but just ended up mostly reading cuz I wanted to try to squeeze in a work out before heading to MIL's for dinner and I didn't have much time. I gave Higher Intensity Step a shot and quit on it early. The choreo is a bit on the intricate side for me so I could only handle so much confusion and marching in place with my mouth hanging open before I had to turn it off. :p Not to mention that I was ALREADY running late so if I had FINISHED the work out I would have been even LATER!:eek: Needless to say, I did not have much of a work out y'day and with the nasty eating I did, it was a bad day for that.:-(

I am up with the chickens. I have no idea why. I woke up around 2:45 am and couldn't fall back to sleep except for dozing here and there. DS then woke up crying for his "DUDE" which had fallen out of the crib and at that point I gave up so here I am. I'm not happy about this as I am going out tonight BUT I wanted to get my work out done this morning before work so I am up early enough to get it in. That's for sure!:7 I can always nap after work if I need to...

My plan is to do Chest and Back and kickbox from the new series. I am not giving HIS another shot at 6 am but I want to work chest and back. I chose to do kickbox for cardio because Cathy did it y'day and said it was really fun!:) I also have to work abs. I will probably do either ABA or 6 miute abs.

I still have no idea how Sunday (HM day) is going to pan out with this chest cold. I guess I have to play it by ear and truly make my decision that morning. UGH. This sucks!x( The thought of not doing it makes me sooo mad but if I am coughing alot and/or don't feel well I don't know that it's worth doing. If it were a shorter race I'd just suck it up but it's not.

Cathy: I was home by 1 today and do admit to peeking out the window quite a few times once 2pm came around as that's when UPS normally shows up at my house. Ofcourse he was LATE today and didn't show up until 2:30!x( LOL

Laura: Sounds like you have yourself a nice case of full body DOMS! YIKES! Don't ya just love when that happens!?!? }( I can't believe the nutty X is still at it. That's so scarey.

Diana: Hope you enjoyed Lowmax y'day. So are you ready to dive into the new work outs on Thursday? }( It must have been exciting to go to the doctor's with Amanda. :)

Angie: Check on your shipment through this site. Go to ups tracking thru Cathe's homepage and put in your phone number. Sometimes the shipping notice won't go through but that doesn't mean your order didn't ship! If it did, it will come up when you enter your phone # regardless! Good luck!:) You know, I have never actually CHECKED OUT my UPS guy. He could be a hottie! Perhaps I WILL "go off" with him one day!;) :7

Okay time for a coffee refill. I have to stay awake long enough to start my work out!:7
 
Morning, girls! Is it hump day? It’s scary when you wake up and don’t know what day it is. *lol*

Laura :: hope you get a break from the madness today…interesting that your friend is taking this approach when everyone around her thinks she should get the RO. Is her son still staying with her? Do you actually call the class four-step torture? *lol*

Diana :: how exciting to see the twins! Do they already have some names floating around?…Ankle any better?…I’ve decided I’m going to stick with circuits for weights this week to complete the rotation, and then do the 4-day split weights in a new rotation starting Monday…can you do a workout Thursday night?…*lol* about Wendy doing all the w/outs.

Angie :: did the notice maybe go to your spam folder?…Glad the conferences generally went OK…I think it’s great that you’re the meanest mom in the world setting higher standards for your boys. :) We need more parents like you!…Today *should* be an AM workout, esp. because I have plans immediately after school (will be doing a working dinner with my fellow language arts teachers at one woman’s house) and who knows what time I’ll get home. But I feel “dead on my feet” this morning ~ it just ain’t happenin’. In a worst case scenario, if I don’t work out tonight, I’ll double up later in the week. The scoring absolutely MUST get done tonight!!!…thanks for listening and for the words of wisdom about my friend. All I do know from what she’s told me is that he expects her to be there whenever the kids are…in the summer, she was about to head out for the gym one morning, and one of the girls said, “Stay and play.” My friend responded with, “I’m going to the gym now, but when I get back, we can play again.” He was standing right there and said, “Oh come on, just stay here and play.” He also said to her another time that he thought “they would do more things – just the four of us now.”

Wendy :: I saw your post over on the cheetahs, but we missed you here. ETA: Glad you're back!!! Sorry about the early wake-up. OK, so we're gonna play Sunday by ear then...I am thinking I might do that bridge 10K after all.

Have a great day, ladies!

Oh yeah, not sure what my PM workout will be – depends on time. If I’m really pressed, I’ll go for the 32 min. HSC premix. Otherwise, I might go for an LIC premix. Have to play by ear.

Hey there!

My work out is done! Chest and Back was great and the kickbox was awesome just as Cathy said it was!:) I will have to play with the weights I chose for chest and back though. I wrote down what Cathe used and what I used and made a note where things felt too lite or too heavy. I matched Cathe out of the gate on only 3 exercises BUT 3 that I went lighter on felt like I could go heavier so I will either match her or come closer next time! Only one exercise felt like it was too much so I'll have to lighten up. I didn't even match Cathe on that one but I'm not worried. :)

Cathy: So what has you changing your mind about doing the bridge race??

GTG get DS ready. Gotta leave for work in about 30 minutes!

Later chicks!:)
 
Morning Ladies ..

checking in early again ... due to another probable hectic work day .. we have ONE girl back . . so that will help some .. but then tomorrow and Friday we have this safety all day event thing that is going to leave us even more short handed .. :eek:

Wendy .. glad to see you are back w/us and I take it you are referring to the NEW workouts ... man .. I am jealous .. I knew they would be great! Hope the CRUD goes away .. hope the DS appnt went good .. he has a nuerologist?? Hope everything is ok w/him .. don't remember you mentioning it before!! sending positive energy your way!

Diana .. congrats on seeing the US of the twins! WOW .. I can only imagine how great that was. My hair? well I went for a cut and LOW lites .. love the cut .. but the low lites were not as dark as I wanted .. I actually ended up w/a lighter shade than I wanted .. she used a color in between my darkest color and lightest color .. I was expecting more dark .. and get close to my natural DIRTY blonde .. but it is a bit lighter than I wanted .. I almost called to have her do a toner on it .. but after fixing it myself this morning it is not as light as I thought . will stick it out till next appnt and get her to put LOTS of low lites to get it darker ???

Cathy .. I have THE cutest UPS man .. man if I were single I would be on him in a minute .. he has the most gorgeous legs .. funny he gets all bumfuzzeled when he comes to the house .. he even left his hand trucks one time .. DH thinks it is funny!! I call him "Cutie Pie UPS man" ...

Angie .. I WISH the psycho X would come to my class I have a NUMBER of girls that would LOVE kicking his butt!! LOL .. hope he is not back at work b-4 our safety event .. b/c if he is he will be going on the day I go .. YIKES ... going to steer WAAAAAAAY clear of him .. but for some reason I am thinking he will not be released to come back quite yet!

OK .. HEAVY weights lower body at the gym at lunch ... no class tonight .. may get a short run in or go home and walk my babies!

The DOMS are better today .. guess the torture class worked them out .. OH .. and the question on if that is what I call the class .. YES .. MY CLASS actually name the class "4 step torture class" and it stuck! :D

OK .. I hope all of you have a great day .. will BBL to check in w/all of you!!:7 :7
 
Hi ladies,

Another hectic day here....Of course I was rushing to get to work by 10 for a meeting, (I know-bankers hours) and the meeting was canceled. The reason I was running late is because DH wouldn't turn off the tv in our room last night and I couldn't get to sleep. So, I had to drink 2 cups of coffee before I had the energy to w/o. At any rate, I was busy doing BM2 cardio blast and wasn't about to stop short of the finish!

I'm so jealous of Cathy and Wendy who have already started in on the new workouts. I don't get mine until Thursday and plan on doing one of the upper body w/o's.

Wendy-Chest and Back sound wonderful. I said "are you kidding me" the first time I attempted Imax 3!!! I completely understand. I'm sure you'll pick it up soon. Sorry about not being able to sleep.

Cathy-So are you doing a 10K this Sunday? It sounds like fun. They are working on names and have come up with Riley and Rallie. Interestingly enough, I picked Riley for Jerod if he would've been a girl. I prefer the spelly Rylee but of course I don't get to choose. I'm not sure about Rallie, but I'm sure if they go with these names I will be perfectly fine with them.

Laura-4 step torture is right up my alley. I love that the class agreed to the name, and they always know what to expect. LOL "cutie pie UPS man"

Angie-I'm right there with you, we are co-meanest moms in the whole world.

I'll bbl.

Hiya cabbers

I got my ship notice!!;-) I didn't recognize it because it wasn't from Cathe.com but from Quantum. I looked right past it yesterday...so I will be expecting the UPS man tomorrow.:) Good timing too....I was supposed to do YogaX...blah!x(

Today I did AR200 and S&H bi's and tri's. Not a very fun workout, but it sure did hurt! Can't wait for the new pain to come via UPS.

Wendy - Hey thanks for the info. on finding a ship date on the site. I didn't even know I could do that.
You know, you'll have to meet that UPS guy now. *lol*
I sure do hope the yucks vacate the premises by Sunday....it's just not right that you worked so hard to get ready and might not be able to go.

Cathy - You must have a whirlwind schedule too since you don't know what day it is. Oh, how I can relate! Sometimes there just isn't enough coffee.....ya know what I mean?
Thanks for the compliment about the mean mom thing.:) I do try, but mostly the mean-ness just comes naturally. *lol*
Did you have conferences yet?
I feel dead on my feet EVERY morning. :7 I don't know what I did before coffee......
So, isn't tomorrow your dinner date with BF? I can't wait to hear about it.
You're gonna do a 10K?? Wow - you go girl!!
Have you done all the new Cathe's? What do you think??

Laura - Psycho has to be released to come back? Is he on some kind of suspension or somehthing? Too bad he wasn't in jail.
Have fun with the babies tonight.
Did ya get the new w/o yet?

Diana - I can't think of a better reason to be late for work. I don't very often stop a workout until it's completed either. Most people I talk to, including family also understand this now. Geez - it took them long enough. :7
I'm also impatiently waiting right along with you.;-)
Mean moms unite!!!:p

Nighty night all

Angie
