CABS: Chillin' & coolin' just like a snowman (Sat.)

Hola, Cabbers! http://www.allthingschristmas.com/forum/images/smilies/tree.gif

Anybody recognize those lyrics?

*hint* old school rap!

I've got some things to do in the morning, but that's my theme from here on out: chillin' and thrillin', not illin'! :7 *lol*

Wendy :: Well, as you can probably tell from last night's post, I opted for sleep instead of a workout. Felt guilty about it but realize that’s what my body needed. For the insanely-busy times of the school year, I’ll just have to be realistic and make adjustments to the workout plans as needed…This was one of those times. I'll have to be happy with 3 workouts and a yoga session...Maybe your endurance/recovery weeks would be a great time to plug in workouts that you rarely use. You are so good at creating mish-moshes…this might be a good time to experiment and blend together favorite elements of not-so-favorite workouts so that you get more use out of them through the mish-mosh option.

Angie :: the blanket was a nice idea for Cody’s teacher…Any thought is truly appreciated, esp. from the older kids...I think the people who don’t see us daily do notice the changes…yes, you should be able to retrieve those downloads from the website…The gym membership sounds like a decent deal (not the cheapest I’ve seen but you also have to consider that you’d be supporting the school)…BUT...I’m not sure I would want to work out with a bunch of kids. If it were me, I would really need to see what it’s like at the time of day I’d be going there…Enjoy the party!!

Di :: *lol* about Jerod trying to give your earrings away. :) How was the awards ceremony? Any update on Amanda?

I knocked out way early last night but am UP early to do 4DS Ba & Bi followed by the EXT. I have a 9 am haircut appointment (just an overdue trim), tanning session, and then the funeral for my friend’s mom. I was going to carpool with another old work friend, but she is sick. It is in Camden (Wendy, I know I need not say more, but for the rest of you, it is one of the most crime-ridden cities in the country) and I’m not sure where the church is exactly, so I’m not thrilled about having to drive over there alone, but I have to go. Supposed to do dinner and a movie later tonight but I'm not sure if that is happening. I wouldn't mind if it's not 'cause it'd be nice just to have some quiet time to chill.

All right. Enough blathering.

Have a sensational Saturday, girls! BBL.

Poppin' in again to report my workout is done: 4DS Ba & Bi and 20 min. on the EXT. Wish I had more time for the cardio but to compensate, I jacked up the resistance and really sweat it out! I'm sooo happy having worked out again after a few days' break!! :) :) :) Amazing what a good sweat does for ya.

Gotta shower and iron clothes. Haircut - tanning - funeral - it's all packed in there kinda tight.

Toodles til later on!

Mornin cabbers!! http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Holidays_and_Party/party-085.gif

I was up early this morning after staying up until 12:30 to get gifts wrapped. Don't ask me why I woke up early....I have no idea.....please don't tell me I'm becoming a morning person. The boys' gifts are all wrapped and under the tree....now the fun begins as they shake the heck out of them until Tues. morning. I put Cam's DS in a big box with one of my 5# plates (lots of crushed paper in there too).:7 I can't wait til he opens it and wonders why the heck I got him a 5# plate.....I'll have to get that initial look on camera.http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-021.gif
So, since I got up at 7, I should have lots of time to get some cleaning done and get a cardio-coach in before taking off for the party at around noon. I have a slight headache now and I'm not sure if it was due to the sugar yesterday or the weather today. I think it's the weather. It's foggy and overcast this morning and the rain we got last night pretty much melted most of the snow we had. However, we're supposed to get a big storm moving in tonight and it's supposed to drop up to 9 inches of snow by Christmas. I hope so!! This is not Christmas weather and I love a good storm.
I'm NOT tracking calories today! I probably should, but I have a feeling there's no way I would be able to remember it all. I'm bringing spinach dip with pumpernickel bread (which isn't too bad) and I know I'm gonna have crab legs with wild rice tonight (which isn't too bad). I just know there will be lots of snacks at moms house and I'm not gonna sweat it. It won't be a free-for-all day but without being in the vacinity of my laptop it would be hard to log EVERYTHING. So, I figured if my log can't be accurate, there's really no point in logging it.

Cathy - Great job in getting that workout knocked out early!
As for the activity center....ya, I never really thought about the kids being in there....duh! I'm thinking that when DH gets my new weight bench and lat bar put up I should have everything I need right in my basement anyways. I'll have to get some pics put up of my new workout basement. I absolutely love it! Although, a good TM would be a nice addition for sure. That will be my next move.....and it would be more economical than a gym membership in the long run. (no pun intended)
Sounds like you have a busy day. Please be careful in that dangerous part of town. Listen to your instincts if you get lost.....hopefully it won't be an issue.....but nobody would want you to put yourself in danger to make a funeral.
Hopefully you'll get some down time later in the afternoon. You deserve to unwind!

Hey Wendy and Diana......what do you girls have goin' on?

Hello Larua.....if you happen to pop in today.

Hi also to Nancy if you're still out there.....would love to hear from you if you are.

Later

Good Morning Ladies.

Man was I tired by the time I stopped running last night! It was about 9pm by the time I was starting to slow down. YIKES!

This morning we are going to bake cookies and brownies. :9 }(

Tonight we are going to a Christmas Lights show with my mom and her BF. FUN!:)

BBL for personals after the baking is underway!

Back again and feelin great!!:) I just did CC #6 with Sean....does he know how to get the endorphins pumpin or what???:7 OK....now I get the whole HIIT thing and LOVE IT!! I feel like I'm already getting results with it. My arms look more pumped and I haven't even been weight training. What up with that?? It must be the poles on the EXT....I was so totally not expecting that little bonus.:)

Tomorrow was supposed to be a rest day, but I think I might pump some iron with Cathe and take Monday off instead since that day is going to be packed full of work and then party.

Wendy - You DID get to making those cookies after all. Good for you! Are you giving them all away?? LOL! That's what I'm doing with all this candy I made yesterday.
Actually, did you know that weight lifters eat simple carbs like chocolate and little debbies right before going out on stage to pose? The show I saw on this said that the simple carbs make the veins bulge out. I had no idea....I always wondered what got their veins bulging. So, I have actually been eating a SMALL amount of my evil candy along with some protein before my workouts to help deliver the protein to the cells. I don't know if it's working or not....but I do feel like I am seeing results....have no idea if that has anything to do with it or not. It probably has more to do with the fact that I am doing a brand new cardio that my body is not used to. Whats your thoughts?
The light show does sound fun. I'll bet Joey will get a kick out of that too. I remember going for a cruise after church on Christmas eve (when we were kids) to see all the lights.....funny the things you remember when you grow older.

OK....off to get some lunch. Hope you all have a great Saturday before Christmas!!

Hi ladies,

I have to admit that I didn't workout yesterday. I called Cody to go Christmas shopping with me and he did. We had a great afternoon together. I spent the evening wrapping presents and I still have more to go.

I'm getting ready to head downstairs and do HST. I'd love to do total body wt. training and a superlong cardio but I don't have time for that today. I have major clean max on the schedule for this weekend. I'm going to get the kids to help me out though and we should be done in about 4 hrs-after we get started.

I took Jerod to the Dr. because he's been feeling pretty lousy. They said it was a virus and for him to wash his hands a lot and cough into his sleeve. I'm going to give him some airborne and see if that helps him at all.

Jerod's award ceremony was nice. They have 3 levels of honors: honors gpa 3.0-3.499, high honors 3.5-3.99, Principal honors 4.0. Jerod fell into the high honors category at 3.8. DH is challenging him to get the 4.0. DH is working on an incentive and then will bring it up to Jerod.

Cathy-Great job getting your workout in first thing this morning. Your day sounds packed. I need to get a haircut too but don't see that happening until next weekend some time.

Wendy-I also have fond memories of looking at Christmas lights. It
s something the whole family will enjoy. Have a great time. Have fun baking today, one of my favorite things to do!

Angie-Glad you are liking the EXT results. I do intervals on the elliptical and they really kick up the HR. I love doing them.

I need to get busy before the whole day gets away from me.

Just poppin' in to report that HST is done. I also did the ab work from HSC and some of my own ab work.

I'm off to get showered and started on cleanmax!

Hi Girls.

I just wasn't feelin' Core Syn today so I did Bosu Reactive Power and Strength instead. Hey, it wasn't a total cheat...it's not like the bosu doesn't work your CORE or anything!?!?:p

The cookies and brownies both turned out SUPER YUMMY!:9 I am glad it's the holidays. I plan to bring some with me when we visit people over the next several days that way I won't eat them ALL!}(

Well the clock's tickin' away...Gotta get ready to go to the light show now...BBL!:)
