:::: CHEETAHS :::: 4.30 Happy B'day, Wendy!!

I'm back.:) DS is down for his nap and I am waiting for my water to boil so I can make some ww pasta for lunch. :9 Figured this was a good time to get some more personals goin'...

Shelly...TWO rest days!?!? *GASP* What's gotten into you woman!?!? :p

Heather...Sorry you had so much trouble TV shopping but I'm glad you finally got what you wanted. And YES, all of that hauling definately counts as some kind of work out!}(

Jackie...I had a drop in bodyfat with the X for sure but now that I am doing BBC it has gone up a bit. Ofcourse, my BF went down, then up and then back down again with the X so you really have to take it with a grain of salt. I would sure love to know my TRUE bf % though! I know my weight is most likely a fluke. I'm not getting too excited about that one! LOL

Jess...So you will be 30 on Friday? Happy B'day girl! :+ Make DH take you out for a yummy meal to celebrate!}( Great job on your work out today, btw. You go girl!

SunnyD...I figured you weren't running as part of paid session. It's nice that you now have a running buddy. :) So has reality kicked back in yet now that you are back from vacation?
 
Hey Wendy! Do you just have the calipers to measure your BF?? I don't have them but thought about getting them. I have a BF scale but it isn't very accurate. You've done great w/ the X! Woohoo on the scale being low for you today, gotta love those days!

Yep, I'll be 30 on Friday!! We're trying to line up a sitter so we can go out w/ our good friends for dinner & to see Spiderman 3!! So far no luck so we'll see...

Christine ~ Sounds like a great weekend. I'm glad you're enjoying Jimmy so much. That's too cute that they have their own doggie meals at that restaurant, I've never heard of such a thing!! Have a great day!

Well, I picked up sticks & mowed, and then jumped w/ Allison on the trampoline. I'm tired now! ;-) Still have to do ARX and then I can relax a bit this afternoon!
 
Awww Jess...I'd watch your girls for ya if I lived closer! You and DH deserve an "adults only" evening out!!!! I hope you can find someone!!!!:)
 
Awww, aren't you sweet??? Well, I had a couple people to ask but they're busy. I hate to ask my friends that already have kids. My friend & her dh that we want to go out with have a ds but they have relatives nearby. Unfortunately, we have no one nearby. This is why we hardly ever go on dates!! Oh well, even if it's just me w/ my family that's fine too as you know how much I love my family anyway! And I'm pretty picky about who I leave my kids with.

At some point we're going to shop for a bike for me. It'll be my bday/ Mother's day gift. I know I'll get plenty of use out of it! My 2 running buddies just bought new bikes so we'll all be ready to ride!! ;-)

Ok, procrastinating but off to do ARX & might do a Cathe ab segment too. I need something different today! ;-) (can ya tell I'm having some Cathe withdrawals??? :7 )

I can still edit so I'll add that I did do ARX & abs from KPC. :) Off to shower!
 
jess & christine- you ladies have me blushing, lol:) thanks so much.

wendy- i am elated to have a running buddy. i was started to get a little bored with running so now that i have some to run with it's going to be really great.

S&A plus ARX is completed. gotta love that workout. i always laugh at the same jokes everytime i do that workout. no extra time for cardio today but that's okay because i feel thoroughly worked:7
 
Back for a cheetah fix :)

Wendy :: holy smokes – you are one popular chick around here! :) This is Week 2 of Phase 3 for me…Yeah, I would say don’t put too much stock in the BF% numbers…judging by how buff you look in your photos and the way you feel, my guess is that the BF may not be accurate. How are you measuring it? Personally, I think how you look and feel is more important than any of the numbers.

Sunny :: I am not good with resizing pics, or I’d try to help you. Usually when I post them they are gigantic…Yeah, I can’t believe I am in Phase 3. It’s the first rotation I’ve ever done, so I’m glad I’ve made it this long…S&A is one of my favorites – I do the same laughing at our corndog Tony…Too bad about the sports drills class – hopefully another is scheduled soon…

Marcia :: hope tonight’s board meeting isn’t too stressful. Sounds like a great weekend! How’s your situation been? Tomorrow you go in for more testing, right?

Gayle :: great race report – and your time was awesome!…I think it’s easy to get emotional when you are running for a good cause and in memory of your DH and also for the huge accomplishment that an HM is…plus getting wrapped in the excitement and support of the crowd…glad to hear it went well…we were thinking of you!…give your legs some well-deserved rest.

Kristi :: congrats on finishing your first HM & beating your goal!! Rock on!…IMO, there’s no need to be disappointed in yourself – a few walk breaks does not in any way diminish the accomplishment! Especially considering this was a hilly course, and as you well know, those dang hills can humble ya. Whenever I’ve raced a new distance for the first time, I always look at it as a learning experience, and my main objective is just to finish. There are so many folks who are not only incapable of completing that distance, but they would never even dare to try. So, don’t be too hard on yourself, and take good care of those quads!

Shelly :: glad things calmed down on the work front…enjoy the “rest” day!

Heather :: nice score on the TV. Enjoy today’s workout.

Jackie :: I love my job, but I do enjoy the respite of the weekend. :) School ends June 20.

Jess :: I don’t mind Plyo too much, but I agree, it is not as tough as what we are used to, and I usually sub for it and Kenpo…hope you find a sitter so you can go out & enjoy your b’day celebration!! I was thinking the same thing as Wendy.

Christine !!!! Good to see ya. Thanks for the race report…I loved both Monterey and Carmel when I was out in CA a few years ago…Quarter “Hounder” – how cute…lol about toKILLya. Also laughing about your comments to Shelly.

Question for all cheetahs: Gayle's comments about why she started running made me curious. Why did YOU all start running? Let's hear the stories...

OK, early grub and then it's time to BRING IT!

~Cathy :)
 
Back real quick to say I finished CST (I upped either weights or reps on every exercise--whoo!) but am putting off abs until tomorrow. I think at this point I am getting kinda sick of doing ARX 3x a week. So, I'll be running tomorrow (instead of Plyo) and will probably tack on one of Cathe's ab workouts. Need a little variety.

~Cathy :)
 
Cathy,

I have the omron device for measuring BF%. It uses electrical impedence. I know it's not totally accurate but I was told I can atleast use it to make sure I am headed in the right direction. I just can't see how the # can go up and down so much when I always use it first thing in the morning before drinking and after peeing! WTH!? LOL About ARX, it can certainly get old when you do it 3 x per week every week for 3 solid months! I subbed in cathe's ab work atleast once a week pretty much EVERY week while doing the X! Do what ya gotta do to get through it girl! Hey, have you taken measurements again? Last you mentioned I think you had lost 7 inches...any more progress to report??? :)

Okay...I'm off to cash in on a massage. My hubby offered me one this evening with "no strings attached" ;) for my B'day. Need to take him up on it before he wants to go to bed!}(

Have a good night!:7
 
Cheetahs Check-in

This was a super stressful day at work. Rebecca had to work late tonight, and I was actually relieved when she called because I was too tired to drive to the club tonight. I did the Gym Style Legs warm-up, standing segment, and stretch this morning, but I did not have time to enjoy a cardio workout. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new month with another opportunity for a fresh start.

My digital camera arrived today. It is cute and little and fits in my smallest purse, which is the one I will most likely take on the Road Trip with me. I was surprised to find this package from Amazon when I went to the post office tonight. I just ordered it last Wednesday afternoon with free super saver shipping. It was not even scheduled to ship until today. I got a great deal on this digital camera with a free 2 GB memory card. I have not had time to play with it yet, but I am sure I will love it.

I called my mother during my lunch hour and had a nice conversation with her. She is being supportive of my fitness journey. Mom and her husband will be visiting me Mother’s Day weekend, and she told me to start finding restaurants where I can eat. Family visits are usually occasions to indulge in processed junk that leaves me feeling bloated and drugged. I am looking forward to enjoying relatively clean meals with a few treats.

Blessings,
Heather B.
