Good morning, girls! :)

I am soooooo happy to have today off.

Even happier to hear of Wendy's success on the slopes.

So glad you had a good time!

Ange :: how were the Nascar festivities? http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/fooddrink/th_beer2.gif

Di :: hope you're enjoying your weekend.

Normally, Monday is a rest day on the rotation, but since Saturday became an *unintentional* rest day, I will probably work out. I say probably because work needs to be a priority for me today. I have to dig more out of the hole a bit. So, I'll play by ear and report later.

Yesterday while on my errands, I did some shopping for BF. I had the idea to send her a baby-related surprise once a month. The January surprise was a prenatal massage certificate. So I picked up some things for the next few months:

-a prenatal pilates DVD & Parents magazine
-a bargain baby book (featured on Oprah) that reviews baby products and offers money-saving tips
-a children's book called Ma! There's Nothing to Do in Here. It's really cute.

OK, off to do a little reading before starting on my work. BBL!

Good Morning Cabbers!:+

Well I'm just sittin' here in the absolute quiet suckin' down the coffee tryin' to wake up. DH has the day off but is still sleeping and I made sure I got up before DS.

We are thinking of taking DS bowling today for the first time. He can pick up my 8# medicine ball and "throw" it so we are sure he'd be able to wield a 6# bowling ball. Should be fun if we go. :)

I only feel slightly sore from skiing y'day but ofcourse, I never got off the learning slope! LOL This being the case, I will probably do the intended work out today which is Total Body+.

So are we really considering a Cabber GTG at some point? Skiing or something else? That would be awesome if we can pull it off. It's a small group so it should be easier to put together then if we had several people involved.

Cathy: What a nice idea to buy your BF a gift every month. Very sweet!:) I hope you get alot of work done today but also think you should try your hardest to get in some sort of work out since are not in school today. Take advantage, girl!}(

Off to get java #2!:9
 
Hey girl,

Just taking a quick break from work, but I do need to get up and stretch. My chiro would kill me if she saw my posture right now! :p

Wait til you hit the steeps - you'll be burning up mad calories (and feelin' it then)...Oh yeah, I am definitely interested in a GTG, skiing or otherwise!...Thanks for the thoughts, but I'm not putting any undue pressure on myself. There is a lot on my plate and playing by ear is what it will be. The last thing I need is more guilt or anxiety.

OK, my free time is up. A quick stretch and then back to the portfolio I go.

Morning Ladies!!

Well yesterday was a stressfull day for us .. we had HORRIBLE weather .. a tornado was just to the East of my house .. the air was so freaking heavy and hot .. and you could hear the tornado .. DH was at work .. so me and the dogs got in the bathroom ..luckily it stayed over head and we had no damage.. all day long there were warnings everywhere .. the tornado that passed my house touched down about 20 miles of us .. right b-4 where my DH works .. we have trees down everywhere .. but we are all safe and accounted for .. w/no damage!! thank God!!:)

Sat. had my date w/Sean CC press play .. OMG ... Sean kicked my arse!! yes I may have pushed harder than I should have - started walking the hills at 4.5 mph on a 6.5% incline .. then the sprints - sprinted at 7 - 7.5 mph .. then actually ran the last hills on a 3% incline at 6.8 mph ... let me add ..the body is telling me I obviously need to do my interval running more often .. the DOMS report: ribcage, abs, buttocks, hamstrings, and shins!!:eek: but OH DID IT EVER FEEL SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!}( :D

Today I am at work .. dang it .. everything else is closed but NOT US!! ;( .. not sure if I will make the lunch workout today .. have some errands I need to run .. tonights class will be circuit .. since the DOMS are so bad there will be more cardio than shaping!!:D

Wendy - Cathy - what is this about GTG??? details please!! I dunno about skiing!! We went on one ski trip to NC .. I never had lessons and my idiot wreckless (ex)friends took me to a level 2 hill after some breif instructions on how to ski.. OH yeah .. it wasn't pretty .. Dh flew down the hill like a bullet and into the people waiting in line for the lift .. straddled a pole and that was the end of his skiing!! Me I watched him in horror and fighting back tears of laughter .. w/my legs planted firmly in the "slowdown" V position .. but I did finally get the hang of it after several embarrassing crashes!! LOL

Angie - how was the Nascar? did you get any of the bad flooding weather they showed on TV??

Di - way to go on the sticking to the WW diet .. you have a ton more willpower than this chick!!! Isn't your trip coming up?? I hope you have a safe one as well as a fun one!!

OK .. gotta run .. everyone have a great day .. and I will BBL to check in to see what everyone is up to!! :7
 
Hi Ladies,

I was simply too busy to check in this weekend. I finally got my taxes done and submitted-YEAH!!!

I didn't workout on Saturday, but yesterday I did HCX Interval circuit. It's a mish mosh of Imax 3 and HSC. I finished it up with bm2 abs. I used my ab wheel and did some hip lifts with 50lbs. My glutes are feeling that today!

This morning I did a 45 minute ifit workout on my elliptical. It was a goodie for sure. I hope to make it to the rec ctr for some heavy leg wts later today. Oh, I almost forgot-my meltdown/bootcamp class starts tonight. I'm so excited for this tough class. Our trainer really pushes us and I'm actually looking forward to running stairs. I can't believe I just said that.

Cathy-I'm jealous, my whole family is off today except for me. I hope you make great progress on your NB stuff today. How nice of you to get your bf a gift a month. I hope she appreciates all you do.

Wendy-Great job on the slopes. I've only been skiing 5 or 6 times and all before I was married. DH doesn't like skiing and it is quite expensive to take the whole family. Zach took snow boarding lessons for 6 weeks and loves it. Speaking of bowling-that is where Jerod is going for his birthday next weekend. Joey will have a great time bowling, especially if you put up the bumpers! Enjoy your family day today!

Laura-I'm so glad that you and DH are safe. I've only been in a couple of tornado's in my life. One came right down our street but left our house untouched. The devastation is tough to see. Amanda and I don't leave until next Thursday.

Angie-I suppose you are off with the boys today! Hope you get in a really tough workout. Jerod has been grounded from screen time and has been using the elliptical to pass the time.

BBL

OMG Ladies ..

did you check out the blog .. Cathe has pictures of the newbies .. and let me say {{wiping drool away}} YOWZA!!!!}( }( :* my concentration level will surely be off watching those beautiful manly bodies!! }( }( Cathe and her production team have EXCELLENT taste!! and did you notice how much Lorraine has beefed up .. WOW she looks better than she ever has .. and major definition!! Ceidi too!!! WOW!!

You know Cathe really does up the level of every aspect of her videos. Very impressive. I can't read the posts in the STS forum b/c there are so many people who are just dang right rude and complain about every thing!! I bet Cathe reads some of the posts and just says "geeze people .. give me a f##ing break!!"

IMO Cathe tries to teach everyone the "why" .. and give as much knowledge to everyone that she can on "how" the programs work .. and that is so much more than any of the other instructors and DVD's do ... I just get aggravated w/all the negativity .. you know???

... ok I am stepping off my soapbox ... and going back to take another lovely peak at those beautiful men!! {{ heart rate going up again {{ }( :7
 
Well TB+ is done and Tony whooped me! LOL

Bowling with Joey was fun today. He really enjoyed it. We'll have to take him back again soon. What a rip off though! It cost $24.00 for FOUR games and a shoe rental for DS!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: We normally don't go open bowling unless DH has free game passes (he "wins" them in his league play) but DH said they are getting stingy about what it takes to win them so he didn't have any and we promised Joey we'd go so we had to suck it up. ;)

Gotta shower right now but I hope to be back in a bit for personals.

Toodles!:)
 
I just printed off lesson plans and a handout needed for tomorrow and then, WHOO, I’m wrappin’ it up here. :) Though I spent the whole day on only ONE portfolio entry (and never made a dent in the grading), it was a productive day. I was completely in the writing zone and did not want to break for a workout. Which is fine. I need to do what I need to do these next six weeks to get the portfolios in on time. I am considering a full rest week either this week or next in light of this.

Laura :: So glad the tornado bypassed you. Must’ve been scary!…Not many details were tossed around about a GTG, but skiing was mentioned as a possibility, if all would consider it. No matter what we did, if we could make it happen, I know we’d have some serious fun! …Yeowch on the pole straddling!…Oh yes, http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/greetingsandsigns/th_signmelikey.gif the new eye candy…IA with you about the nitpicking. Seems to happen with any new series that comes about.

Di :: ^^^ fives on the taxes being done! That's a relief to have it out of the way. Yay on the bootcamp class starting again. Know how much you enjoy that one…I hope she appreciates it, too. :)

Wendy :: glad Joey enjoyed the bowling. A kid after his dad’s heart, eh?

Ange :: what were you up to today? Were ya hurtin’?

Have a great night, everyone!

Hi girls

Dead presidents day didn't do me much good. The boys had yet another snow day today thanks to all the ice we got yesterday.:( I slept in but then felt guilty and went to work even though I probably could've let it go another day.
I got home did 4DS KB workout. For a kb workout, I kinda like it. :)

Cathy - Regarding the stylist. That's a tough call. I'm thinking I wouldn't go for a while and then maybe give them another shot later on. For you next cut though, I would definitley try someone else. Who knows? You might even find someone else who's even better.
I'm sure we'd have a blast if we could all get together. Is everyone going to try and get in on the RT this year?
Our nascar party just turned out to be DH and I but we had fun. Everyone else cancelled due to the ice storm. It was nasty out! I'm so glad race season is back on though.;-)
How very thoughtful of you to send the baby gifts. That really is very sweet of you.

Wendy - Glad you like the skiing. What did DH think of it? Did he already know how to ski?
Bowling sounds like fun. The boys love to bowl. We don't do it very often, so when we do, it is quite the treat. I would much prefer to go bowling over going to the movies and it seems like they cost about the same anymore.

Laura - So glad to hear you and DH are all right! You HEARD the tornado??? :7 Yikes! You must've been scared out of your wits especially being the only one home. How did the pups handle it?
I went to order push play last week and they only sell the mp3 and I don't have one. :-( I was hoping to buy the CD. Is it possible to download it onto the computer and burn it to a CD?
Nah, we didn't get flooding here, just LOTS of ice! It looks like temps will be in the upper 30's this weekend though, so when all this ice and snow melts, I'm sure there may be some water problems. Luckily we live on top of a hill. Flooding is generally not a concern in our neck of the woods.
I did check out that Blog.....ya, eye candy for sure! I'm so looking forward to STS! I don't get on the STS forum very often either. For me it kind of takes the surprise element out of it. I also hate to hear everyone complain about something before it's even filmed. It'll be great......so I wish they would just let it be! Cathy's never let us down before, ya know? So, ya, I hear you loud and clear!!!!!

Diana - Great job on the taxes! What a relief.:)
Hope you have a fun class tonight! I can't wait to hear what exercises you did. I hope you aren't too sore tomorrow.:7

Good night all


Angie
