Cabs n' abs ---> Exhale.....it's Friday!

[RunninTeach]

Mornin', girls

Life is nuts right now, and I haven't been able to keep up with both threads or work out at all. Scanned some of the posts of recent days (thanks for the shoutouts & good wishes!) but will just jump in catching up from yesterday's personals.

Angie :: "Soupy" is the right word to describe our weather, too. Good plannin' to clean the 5th wheel before the storm hit. What did the Humane Society say?

Laura :: yep, we are due for the scorchin' heat this weekend. I'll have to get out there REAL early on Sunday for my long run. Thanks so much for the vibes. I haven't been able to study very much, actually. I've been bogged down with meetings and trying to get my grades in.

Di :: hope being off yesterday was helpful in getting ready for the party...Glad the weather is going to be good to you...how was BC class? I am definitely w/ you in munching mode in anticipation of the exam. Big stress eater here! I had a McD's hot fudge sundae the other day -- OMG, it was so good. I practically licked the plastic clean.

Wendy :: you really put in some major hours in that place yesterday. Have you made any more progress with updating your resume and continuing the search?

Thanks again for all the good wishes. You girls are da bomb!

Have a great Friday! I am getting a pedi right after school and then I need to make a practice run to the testing center, to be sure of where it is.

Happy Friday Cabbers!:7

Cathy: Hope you find some time to enjoy your weekend! Good luck on the NB exam!

Diana: FitDay is great. It's a pain at the beginning but once I get into the groove of recording my food in it every day it's really not that bad. When will you start using it again??

Laura: A/C's are going in tonight!!!!

Ang: Good job finishing YogaX. The most yoga I've gotten lately is the 10 min segment in the stretching vid I've been doing. Better then nothin' though, right?

This afternoon's work out will be Iron Core Volume 2. I would have liked to do it this morning but I have to be in work early so it's gonna wait until afterwards. I get out at 11 today though so it's not bad.

BBL.

Hi ladies,

I couldn't sleep again last night. I took a unisom the other night and it helped a bit. I was tempted to take 2 but was afraid I wouldn't be able to get everything done that I needed to. I'm sure I will be dog tired by tonight.

I plan on doing PLB and some kind of cardio later this morning. My legs are fried from all the walking lunges we did last night. Our BC warmup was walking lunges to the center of the football field (from the sideline), 10 pushups, sprint to the other sideline and repeat taking off 1 pushup each time. We also did football runs, squat jumps, fast feet with the ladder, side jumps w/ladder, planks, tricep dips, jump rope, high knees, upright rows and chest presses w/the jump rope. The tough stuff was the sprinting though. Starting at the 0 yard line, sprint to the 10-back to 0, sprint to 20 back to 0, sprint to 30 back to 0. Repeat a lot! This was tough, tough, tough. We also did ab work.

I picked up my NROL book yesterday and started reading it last night. I didn't get very far but am looking forward to getting to the nutrition section.

Cathy-Good luck on the NB exam. Glad you had a minute to pop in and let us know how you're doing. Hope you have a great run on Sunday. I'm starting my training program the week of the 15th.

Wendy-I have fitday pc and also fitday online already set up with almost all of my daily foods. I've used it off and on for years. I'm planning on starting again on Sunday or Monday-after the party. I usually try for a 40/40/20 or 40/30/30 ratio. My fat intake really spikes when I track those mini reese's!

Laura-AC since February, OH MY HELL. We would not be able to afford our utility bill if we turned it on in Feb. As it is, DH turned it on earlier than usual. We try to hold out until after memorial day, but had it on by mid May. I pretty much don't like the heat, above 85 is hot to me.

Angie-I thought the race was this weekend. Yoga isn't my thing either. I have taken power yoga classes and enjoyed them, but doing yoga at home just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather lift or do cardio.

I need to do some last minute grocery shopping this morning and start cooking this afternoon, after my workout!

BBL

Morning girls

Thank goodness we got the AC in our bedroom last night. We had it on already. I wasn't expecting to have to use it already but it got so humid last night that we had it on for a couple of hours.
I've got L&B and ARX to do tonight. Thankfully the basement is cooler so I shouldn't be tooooo uncomfortable.
Mom is coming over this morning and helping me get all the garage sale stuff marked. Ug! I am not looking forward to that. But, we'll have to take a break around 10:30 so we can go to Cody's award ceremony and then I'll take her out to lunch so I don't know how productive we will be.:7

Cathy - You had me crackin' up with the sundae talk - DH brought home McD's sundaes on Monday and I swear I licked the lid too.:9 Those are just the best!
Hopefully the weather won't be too hot and humid for you this weekend. Our weather is supposed to spawn off more storms for this afternoon. Hope you at least have dry weather.
I called the humane society and they don't have anything right now. I'm amazed at the adoption fees. Some of them are over $200 for an adoption fee! Geez - I could go buy a pure breed for that. It's for shots, spay, and a computer tracking chip. I think the tracking chip is a bit much. I think that should be an option and not something that they just do and charge for. Anyways....I'm keeping my eye on petfinder.com and hopefully something close to home will come up and if it doesn't, I may find a local breeder and just buy one.

Wendy - You've been working a lot lately haven't you? Are you filling in for someone? Did you get that run in last night after your meeting? Did you get those AC's in??
Yup, 10 min. of yoga is certainly better than nothing for sure.;-) I wish Tony's yoga was only 10 minutes.

Diana - Are you sore today? Did you do BC in the rain? That class looks killer.}(
Sorry you slept like crap. I'm sure after the party is done you will sleep like a baby. The stress right now for you must be horrible. But, I'm sure it will all be worth it. Have a great time this weekend.
Do you pick up your friend from the airport today too?

Hi Laura!!

Mom just walked in...gotta go. Have a great Friday cabbers.

Morning Ladies ..

welcome back Cathy!!! sending good vibes for the NB this weekend!! You can do it girl!!!

Class last night was packed (go figure) .. they forgot to turn on the air and it was stiffling in there!! Like a dang sauna .. I turned it on 20 min. b-4 class ... Taught THE BEST mish mosh class: combined cycles of 4 step lrg weighted step ups - lower body shaping - upper body shaping - balls - matt work (planks/core) .. repeated for about 6 cycles .. I was SPENT when we got done .. my face was blood red and not a dry spot on me! I have some DOMS in the upper body and core region! SIL said I about killed her .. she was weak and called her DH to have food ready when she got home .. lol!! }(

Cathy ... glad you checked in and let us know all is stressed but well!! Good luck on NB and the long run .. if your heat is like ours it better be a VERY early long run .. at 10:15 last night it was still 86 degrees!!!

Di .. BC class sounds really hard core!!! Those sprint drills (aka: suicide drills) YOWZA .. I would be spend after those .. would not be able to do the rest of the w/o .. LOL ... our power bills run pretty high down here .. although our electric cost are amoung the lowest in the country!! Our pre-summer (using heat pump bills) usually run around $150 .. then summer bills run around $250 ... but we do have the pool and lots of refrigerators and freezers running!

Wendy ... I may have to start the food log as to NOT try and trick my mind into beleiving I really didn't eat those chips, fried dill pickles or fries etc ..LOL!!!

Angie .. did you get any of those horrible storms they were showing on the news .. they said today that there has been a record setting 1000 tornados this year .. the middle states are catching H#LL ... Hope all is well!!! Let us know if you called the humane society .. hey I got a white pup that tears up everything in my yard I will ship to you!! LOL .. Just kidding I could not get rid of the little devil .. he really is sweet and is getting better at not destroying EVERYTHING in the yard and garage (think the hot sauce worked)!! LOL

OK LADIES >> TGIF .. and my first check w/my RAISE!! WOW .. yessssss .. that makes me putting up w/PIA a little easier to take (just a little though) }( have a great one .. and I will BBL to check in w/you!!!:7

 

[Poochy]

Angie .. we must have been posting at the same time!! Have you check w/PetSmart??? They usually have huge adoption events on Saturdays ... think they do still charge for shots, nueturing or spaying .. etc .. but ours always have a huge selection of dogs and cats. That is where SIL got her 2 cats .. she got a Siamese that looks purebred ...

Glad you didn't have any horrible storms!!!

Congrats to Cody .. hope the ceremony goes well!!!

have a great one!:7

 

[Fit_mommy]

Just came back quickly to report that Iron Core Way Vol 2 is done.

I'll come back in a bit to catch up on personals.

 

[angie_nrs]

Hiya again

We got done with all the chores this morning and still got all the garage sale stuff marked. I'm happy about how quickly we got it done. It's definitely priced to sell - I want to see it gone!
OMG - just turned on CNBC and oil went up $11 per barrel just today alone! When is this sh!t gonna end???
Gotta turn off the TV and go take my frustration out on Tony. Although, would prefer for DH to come home early so I could take frustrations out on him.}( *lol* Now, I'm starting to sound like Laura. :7 LOL!

Laura - How the heck do you find the energy for those killer workouts? Especially considering there was no AC? You are one crazy exercise monster.
Nope, no bad storms here. Just regular ole' T-storms but no heavy wind or anything with them. We're supposed to get more today though. I guess that's one way we differ in our weather - usually when we have humidity it is followed by storms.
What's with the white pup? Is it a stray? I got my heart set on another beagle, a female pup to be exact. We don't have a petsmart around here but wish we did. Most of the ones on the petfinder site say that they will be at the local petsmart stores for adoption.
So, what are ya gonna do with the extra cha-ching?

Gotta drag my butt downstairs to have a date with Tony...... Ah yes, there will be CABs tonight!! Cheers girls.

Hey Angie ..

the white pup is the one that ate the garden seeds, tore up the seat on the golf cart, chewed the fender wheel OF MY MAXIMA, drug a bag of mortor out in the yard and chewed it 1/2 into ... etc .. he is a maniac!!

Yes he is a stray .. I saw him on the highway ... then about a week later he shows up in my garage .. he is lucky the female pit (also a stray) did not kill him .. but she took him under her wing and babied him.. My two big dogs (who do not think they are really dogs) do not even acknowlege him ..

he is white .. and LONG hair .. more hair on that dog than I have ever seen on any domestic animal!! I am almost wondering if he has wolf in him .. he looks like a great Pereanese .. w/a narrower snout though .. dark eyes .. his eyes and lips almost look painted on .. and FURRY .. I am sure he has some lab in him b/c of the chewing and he LOVES water!!!

Really is a sweetie .. BUT he almost got the boot when we found the golf cart chewed up and the Maxima was the last straw .. (this happened while we were in Vegas) ... he is just so dang sweet and looks so dang innocent and happy .. he stole my heart .. so NOPE .. he is staying w/us .. but maybe I have gotten him past the Conan the Destroyer stage!! LOL

Our first dogs were Beagles ... My first baby lived to be 17 1/2 years old!!! I don't blame you .. I would stick to that breed .. so sweet .. so loving .. so funny .. and smart too!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed .. do you have hunters around your areas .. you should be able to find a good stock of beagle breeders around hunting areas!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

OK .. 1 hour 40 minutes to FOR REAL TGIF !!!:7
