Cabs n ' Abs - have an X-cellent Thursday!

Mornin', girls! http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_happy-038.gif

You know I had to drop in one last time.

This was me all agog last night. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_panicsmiley2.gif It's a 3-night cruise. How hard could it get? But oddly, clothes was an issue. The main problem was that I discovered some of my summer-y type stuff is now too big, and then there was the fact that I wanted to pack light and only bring one pair of dress shoes. That is the kicker, isn't it? - the shoes. Not every shoe is right for every outfit. Then I started thinking about my last cruise, which was also in November, and I remember wearing a long-sleeve sweater one night. Usually I make a list of what I want to bring on a trip, and I didn't this time. Which means I probably forgot to pack something essential, like underwear. *lol*

Angie :: The visitation went fine. Only 3 parents all day. I was only worried about *that* one, but he didn't show...I'm pumped about the new series, too.

What do you gals think? If filming begins within 90 days, roughly when do you think they'd actually be in our hands?

Have a great day! I am going to be in transit pretty much all day, so if my phone is up, I may be able to check in or at least read up on what's doin' with my girls.

TTYS!

Good Morning Cabbies!

BON VOYAGE, CATHY! Have a CAB or three for me!:+ :+ :+

Shhhhhhh. Okay girls. Now that Cathy is gone, we can start talking about her like we had planned on...so who wants to start? :7

LMFAO!!!!! Just kidding Cathy dear! You KNOW we love ya, don't you!? :*

Laura: Sorry about the teeth chattering cold you are experiencing. We had a very cold night last night. BRRRRRR! I checked out the blog after reading your post about it. I never even thought to check it since the new work outs were released. All I can say is: UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!!!! I am going to start saving my pennies NOW!}(

Diana: Sorry to hear about Amanda. Unfortunately I am thinking that she may be put on bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy, huh? I hope you can go to the appointment with her. You are very involved and that is fantastic! I have to ask though, where are her parents? Not around or pissed off and refusing to have anything to do with her perhaps? So sad if either is the case. I have utmost faith that you will come up with some kick-butt way to fit more cardio into the upcoming X rotation! }(

Angie: OMG, I am on new work out overload! I am sooo excited! I am getting both the new X work outs and Cathe's new series! I refuse to give one up or have to choose!!!! What about you?

Well my cold is still hangin' on though only the cough really bothers me during the day. Overnight is awful though as my nose stuffs up and my throat gets sore so I haven't been sleeping very well. :-(

That being said, I wanted to get up early this morning and get in B&G Leg Blast and abs before heading to the gym for a run but that did not happen. x( I am trying to decide now...do I go to the gym and do my own leg work out prior to hopping on a TM or do I do legs/abs and a little cardio at home at nap time today and save the run for tmrw morning before I head off to Baltimore? Decisions Decisions! LOL

I ordered a Bosu sport last week. Got it y'day! I haven't even opened it yet. I need time to inflate it and want to be able to play with it and since I am going away this weekend I just won't have that time so I am leaving it in the box until I get back. It's KILLING me! }(

So I donned my "TFH" suit last night and off I went to train BF and her co-worker. They are conspiring to hurt me for "hurting" them so if anything happens to me you know who to blame! :7 My BF lost a little more weight! She's now 13 pounds down as of y'day morning! WOO HOO! She's VERY excited!!

K, I think I'm finally done "talking" your ears off! LOL

BBL!

Good morning girls http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Drinks/drinking-coffee-35.gif

Can you believe I had dreams all night about Cathe's new workout series?? I'm so unbelievably excited!! I feel sorry for people who just don't get the feeling about being so stoked about exercise. I wish everyone could feel this way.

I woke up this morning to snow. I'm glad I got the summer stuff put away and the winter stuff out on Tuesday. I'm glad to say bub-bye to the bugs and humidity! And with all the X-mas commercials on already.....it's beginning to look a lot like X-mas.

Cathy - I had a feeling you might be up bright and early. So, the clothes are too big eh? COOL!! Although, this might not be the best time to discover that...but still, COOL!
And shoes....I am not a shoes nut at all! I hardly ever wear sandles or open toes shoes b/c I don't do pedi's. I have just never gotten into it ya know? No, you don't know....LOL! I would love to wear my tennies for any and every occasion.
Well, going el commando on a cruise might not be all bad. There was a post about this in open discussion a while back about going commando during a workout.....I'm thinking that's a bit gross, but other than that....hey, it's kinda like Vegas right??
I'm thinking if they film the workouts in January, then maybe we might get them by late spring or early summer? I guess it depends on how many workouts they have to come up with. The software that's coming with it is probably already being worked on now, so I'm hoping that will go off without a hitch. This sounds so fresh! Waiting is going to be torture.}(
Hopefully they have internet on the ship and you can dish while you're on vacation. Have a wonderful time girl! If you can't make it to a computer, we will MISS you!!

Wendy - Oh yeah...both P90X+ and Cathy's new series will be coming to mama! I have more workokuts than I know what to do with right now, but there are worse problems in life right? It certainly beats not having enough workouts. I consider it a reward for actually DOING them consistently.;-)
I hear you on the bosu....I have a rebounder that I got on clearance and I still haven't gotten it out of the box. I think it's b/c I don't have a Cathe to do with it. I soooooo wish Cathe would do a rebounder or bosu workout series.
Wow - great job with BF! Did you get before pics with her??
Hope you shake the yucks soon....the airborne not working??
Are you all packed and ready to go?

I'll be around all day....have no plans to go into work and I really don't have a whole lot to do around here so I'll be back. It sounds like it's gonna be a lonely weekend in here.:-( I'm gonna be talking to myself while most of you are out having a great time!

Later

Angie

OK .. I usually get up at 6:00 leave by 7:30.. no electricity .. no alarm clock .. so I got up at 7;00 ... STILL not electriciy .. I am running around bundled up like a snowbunny trying to see to get my make up on my swollen frozen face .. DH sleeping so comfortably while I am in crisis mode (wich ticks me off .. he was no help whatsoever) .. do you know how cold a COLD rag is to your already frozen body???? so I find the ONE suit that is fresh pressed .. after washing my body w/a frozen washcloth ... throw on the suit .. look in the mirror .. GASP .. .. put hair up in a clip .. and right b-4 walking out the door the freaking electricity comes back on!x( .. by this time DH has drug himself out of bed .. and trys his best to cook me something to which I should have been thankful for .. but I was too freaking ILL .. I ended up spewing out a few unkind words to the poor guy b/c I was so freaking ill....

think I drove at least 85 MPH to work .. and I get in and look at myself in the mirror ... my eyes look like I am doing drugs .. my face and eyes are swollen from sinuses and no sleep .. I probably look like I have been on a drinking spree!!x( and not to mention I hate the feeling of NO BATH and waking up in CRISIS MODE ...

ssooooo .. enough B#tching! ... might as well suck it up and forget it .. poor DH thinks I am a B##ch big time .. LOL!!poor guy!

Wendy .. I am w/you I will be breaking the piggy bank and getting BOTH workouts .. they will probably be a complimetary to one another .. you know we are both kinda addicted to pain anyway!! LOL

Angie .. you made it here in the morning .. I am impressed!!! I think you are like me and Wendy and get a kick out of the torture Tony and Cathe inflict!! LOL

Di .. hope the twins are fine! Let us know how things are!!

OK .. I am really hoping to survive this day .. even though I look like a drug victim .. maybe I could claim I am sick and go home . . since I look so bad????}( .. if anyone knows ANYTHING that helps dark circles and puffy eyes .. HELP!!! Let me know!!

Hi again girls

I've been on the laptop pretty much all morning writing my legislators and complaining about a proposed bridge fare increase on the Mackinaw bridge. Geez - our semi's already pay $57 per trip and now they want to raise it to $97! ACK!!! I'm so pi$$ed that I'm writing anyone that I think will remotely listen to me. Grrrrrr...Michigan sucks so bad right now!

Plus, I'm so darned hungry today! I think some of it might be stress, but I really think it is from Tony's w/o yesterday. When I lift heavy, I'm always hungry. I finally had lunch with lots of prorein, and I'm finally full, but I've already scarfed 1300 calories down today.x( That darned carrot cake and halloween candy is not helping either!

Larua - What a crappy way to get up in the morning. Maybe it's time you started drinking coffee! It can only get better from here right??? At least you have a great lunch to look forward to. Your boss sounds great!
Yes, I would be lost without Cathe and Tony. I love them both!!

Diana - where are you today? At a doc's office perhaps? Let us know how everything went with Amanda.

Check with ya all later

Angie

Good Morning Girls-
I went to bed by 10pm last night and was able to get a good nights sleep. I did lowmax this morning and have my meltdown class tonight. I also weighed in yesterday (after missing 2 weeks) and was down a half a pound. Not much, but I didn't gain so that was good. I did see Cathe's blog and am very interested in those w/o's.

Cathy-Bon Voyage Ms. Sorry to hear about your clothes dilemma. At least you can look forward to buying new summer clothes come spring. Again, have a wonderful time! As for the new workouts, 90 days puts the filming in Feb so my estimate is summer before we have them in our hands.

Wendy-Sorry your a.m. w/o plans didn't work out as planned. I hate when that happens, but it looks like you've come up with a couple alternate plans. Amanda's family lives in Oregon, she is out here on her own. Her parents are divorced and she has 5 younger siblings that live with her mom in Oregon. The Dr. gave her a prescription to stop the contractions. She is to take the medication if she has more than 6 contractions in an hour. Your BF is making great progress thanks to the TFH that you are. I'm sure she's happy about that!

Angie-you were dreaming about the new w/o's-that's too funny. I'm so looking forward to the new series. You are so organized and it would be really helpful if you could come help me get my house organized. I'm trying to do a little at a time each week.

Laura-Oh my, sorry to hear about the electricity going out, oversleeping, freezing cold, no warm shower, and having to rush to work. I have to say your post made me smile (just a little). Of course I'm certainly not laughing because I've been there before. I say-tell your boss you're not feeling well and head on home!

Have a great day ladies,

Diana

Ok girls ... the fussy one is back .. after eating a HUGE meal .. OMG .. that man can COOK!!!! I don't want to even know how many calories I just woofed down!!

My head was dizzy from the morning and sinus crap AND NOT eating b-4 lunch .. now it is spinning b/c I ate too much and he even had a dessert .. YES I ate it .. hot apple crisp w/VANILLA ICE CREAM .. OK ..my best hope is maybe the spinning head will burn off some calories!

Diana .. so glad about the twins .. good news .. she is probably going to have to watch herself closely! Di .. what are ya'll going to do for the meltdown class tonight? That is a good name .. sounds like one of my classes!! LOL .. and don't worry .. I laughed at my post too .. LOL!!!

Angie .. think I ate more than you at lunch .. and BOY do I feel like a blimp .. my poor class is gonna pay for me having such a bad day AND pigging out!! }(

think tonight is gonna be bootcamp .. plyos, step, and heavy muscle work!!!

Hi again girls

I started to feel like a slug after lunch so I high tailed it downstairs before I backed out of squeeze. So glad I got it done b/c I'm not feeling quite right. You know that feeling you get just before you get ill? I'm hoping I just ate something at lunch that didn't agree with me but I took some airborne just in case. Why didn't you guys warn me about the nasty taste of that stuff???x( Yuck!

Di - Sounds like your w/o's are back on track. Down a half pound is good....yup, I'd take it!
Oh, I don't know how organized I am, but I do try. I'll never run out of organizational chores to do that's for sure. If I ever did run out of things here, there's a ton to do at work.;(
Things with Amanda sound like they must be alright if doc didn't put her on complete bedrest. That must be a relief.

Laura - You are making me hungry.:9 Lunch sounds delish!
Will you even have anyone there tonight to torture or did they all bail? Have fun workin off those calories girl!

Angie

Evening CABettes!

So we've lost a cabbie to a cruise this weekend and you will be losing another as tmrw late morning. It's off to Baltimore I go! WOOH!:+

Oh, btw, I TM'd Cathy this morning and she TM'd me back this afternoon saying she was on the ship drinking thier drink o' the day while awaiting her luggage. :+ :+ :+

I did Itread 7/40 mins at the gym this afternoon for a 3.55 mile hilly run. Good practice for my upcoming race I tell ya!}(

I was gonna do B&G before I left for my run but realized as time wore on this morning that I had serious booty DOMS. Must be from Core Syn. First time for that! I like it!}( I still should have done ab work but I blew that off...perhaps tmrw instead.

Okay, well I'm exhausted. I'm gonna go lay on the couch and veg for a while now. I'll catch up with personals later or in the morning.

Have a great night!
