:::::CHEETAHS:::::Friday

Good Early Morning Cheetahs!

How are you? I am starting this up today, just in case some of our other Cheetahs are busy with the Road Trip!

I did a one hour run this morning - 4:45AM-5:45AM! I have to work 10 hours today with my students! Off to the shower now, and then work!

I am gulping down my usual 2 cups of coffee also!

Have a wonderful day and weekend Cheetahs!

Maybe we will see some posted pictures during the weekend! (Cathy maybe??? You and Wendy enjoying those Corona's!!)


Take care,
Amy :)

Good morning Amy & everyone else! :)

Amy :: Start up this thing anytime! You've got a long day ahead of you ~ what are you doing with the kids today?...Have you tried out www.mapmyrun.com yet to figure out your mileage?

Well, Carole's flight from Atlanta was, unfortunately, cancelled, and she won't be getting in until sometime today. The airline put her up in a hotel, and she will be flying into Newark and bussed down to the hotel. Susan and Shelly made it in last night after a few hours' delay. It was sometime after 9, I believe, when Shelly's luggage appeared (the airport was a mess!), so we did not do dinner or take any pictures. But our plan is to do the KOP Mall today - hopefully with Carole!

According to the news, the Philly airport will continue to have weather-related snafus today, so I hope the RTers flying in today can make it in smoothly!

I am doing MM u/b#2 + 200 walking lunges and then I've got a chiro appt.

Have a great day!

Mornin' Cheetahs:

I only had to help for a very short time last night, so I was home by 10PM. That wasn't so bad, but I am lacking in sleep so bad that I'm ready to drop again this morning. We have karaoke tonight, so busy but fun! Hopefully make more money so I can pre-order those new DVD's.;-)

Sorry to hear about Carole's flight, I bet she was/is frustrated!

Cathy - What kind of weather are you having that is causing so much trouble?

We are humid and can be and in the 90's today so I won't be outside if I can help it :p

I am yearning to get a workout in so bad, but I just don't have the energy until these next few days are over and I can find a little "me time" to get something in.

Take care everyone!
Marcia.
 
Good morning dear cheetahs,

amy-great job with your run this morning!! we are going to miss our RT cheetah pals.

Good Morning Ladies.

Amy: Wow, you were out runnin' the streets early this morning! Holy cow! You go with your bad self girl!;)

Cathy: Man, what a bummer for the Cali girls y'day. I hope Carole makes it in today in time to join you, Shelley and Susan for the mall run. Have fun!!!!:)

Marcia: Sorry you are so tired. I know how it stinks. Atleast your night tonight will be fun at the bar so hopefully that will keep you going. :) You haven't pre-ordered the new Cathes yet!? What are you waiting for!?!? Don't you know the rule is that Cathe comes first before ANYTHING so there is no *saving* needed...just BUY BUY BUY! ;) :p :7 :7 :7...Well, a girl can hope, right? :)

Sunny: Sounds like a great day you have planned with your hubby and kids. Can I come? ;) Have fun with IClimb!

I have f/b weights on tap for today. I'll be giving ISculpt #1 a shot finally. I've had it for quite some time but hadn't used it because I was into the heavy lifting at the time. Now that I'm going endurance while doing the HM training it's the perfect time to use it! :)

Joey is at grandma's house so I get to go to work this morning with out a diaper bag. It's gonna be like a vacation! LOL :p

BBL!:7
 
Marcia :: sorry to hear you're feeling rundown - but understandably so from all that working! Just do a few curls when you fill up those beer mugs. :) Here in Jersey we just had a bit of rain, but apparently, it was heavier west of us in PA...looks like there were severe storms in parts of the midwest, too. I have the news going on in the background to try to catch the story about the ongoing problems at the airport. Sounds baggage-related.

Sunny :: I sure will give Carole a hug for you...IF I see her today...it might not be til tomorrow...enjoy your day at the lake...sounds wonderful!

Did you guys see the Early Bird pics on the RT thread? Gayle, Shelly, and Susan are on there. It is a bummer that we didn't make the cut, isn't it? I'm thinking a cheetah GTG, if possible, would be so awesome!

I know, Wendy, aren't I terrible???? I should be pre-ordering after working tonight, that's for sure. ;-)

Oh, I bet you will enjoy going to work without that diaper bag. I remember those days, you don't realize how much you take along for the kids and what they need until they are at grammy's ;-) and then your load is so light. ENJOY!

Marcia.

Wendy, your post snuck past me. I am laughing my butt off here -- that has got to be the most flat-out, straight-up enabling ever!! I love it!...Enjoy trying out the iSculpt & let us know what you think after.

Cathy: Thanks for the heads up on the pics! I just looked at them! Now I am even MORE excited to go tomorrow! :7 :7 :7

Marcia: Pre-order pre-order pre-order do it do it do it!;)

Just call me the queen of enabling!:p
 
hey ladies,

wendy- let me know what you think of isculpt 1! oh, you were on vacation when i made the big decision to go ahead and pre-order. i just couldn't hold out any longer:p

cathy- thanks! i think a cheetah gtg would be awesome!!!

jackie- you made up a great workout yesterday. you inspired me to play around more with my ipod workouts and make up some of my own! i do think JJ knows her stuff. however i just don't think she thought when making the video that it's something that will be watched time and time again and how many times would someone want to hear the story of how she meant the folks in her videos and how many calories they claim to burn during the video....;o)

iclimb # 7 and an istretch (athletic 20 mins) are completed. off to shower and pack for our picnic:D

talk to you later folks...:)
 
Sorry to hear about the roadtripers flight delays and Carole's flight cancellation. That really stinks. I hope everyone gets to NJ safely and is able to enjoy their trip.

Cathy - I'm game for a cheetah get together. The RTers will probably want to wait a while after this trip, but I figure sometime the beginning of the year might work. What do you think? I've tried mapmyrun.com, but they haven't updated my area in probably 7 years. All of the other roads in my new subdivision from the past 3-5 years is not even listed. I need to map that out myself. Otherwise, it is a nice site.

Amy - Congrats on getting your run in early! Now that DH will be getting the kids up and ready in the morning starting Monday, unbeknownst to him, I might be able to get up a little earlier to get in a run, in addition to my lunch time workouts.

Today, I think, might be a rest day. Monday will be the official start (again) for my P90X rotation. As some of you may remember, I need to restart this again because with DH being gone I have not been able to focus on getting the workouts in and eating well. The kiddos have kept me extra busy, especially DD rebelling. Speaking of kiddos, DS had his kindergarten orientation last night. He is so excited about school and meeting his teacher. DS drew a picture to give to his teacher, which was not prompted by me. He wanted to do something nice for her and surprise her. The whole way through the school he kept it behind his back so she would not see. He even waited patiently while she was talking to other parents and students. I'm so proud of him. Anyway, DS starts school Monday at 7:45 a.m. I plan to take 1/2 day off work so I can take him to school. Afterwards I plan to go home, maybe take a nap, and do a workout before heading back to work at 1.

Hi Wendy & Sunny D, and all who follow.
 
Good morning ladies!

Cathy - I hope all of the Cheetah girls arrive safely. Thanks for the update. I don't look forward to flying during the summer with all of the flight delays. That's why I'm driving to Chicago. Hope today goes better and everyone has loads of fun.

Amy - Thanks for starting things off. You're doing good with those 1 hour runs!! Have a good day with your students.

Marcia - Glad you didn't have to work as long last night. Girl, I hope you make it through the day without falling over from sleep deprivation and find that "me" time.

Sunny - Have a good workout! Enjoy your family day! JJ sounds like another Jari Love with the calories burned and all. I actually think she's a little loud and don't know if I could deal with that in a workout. You can probably tell by my workouts that I'm getting a little bored. So, I've been throwing some different things in there.

Wendy - Let me know what you think about iSculpt 1. Enjoy your vacation day from the diaper bag. :)

Today's workout - iStrength #20 Boxing & Core. I like the concept of this workout but think I really need the visual to do it correctly. The do offer a video demonstration but I need to see the workout flowing together. I still got a good moderate workout with punching and jabbing and I liked the core work. Hopped on the treadmill for a 1 mile run and then the elliptical for 10 minutes. Finished up with a nice stretch.

Have a fab Friday everyone. Gotta go check out the RT'ers pictures now.

Kristi :: I won’t be able to do a trip this fall, either, as I have the Bahamas wedding in November and then Colorado over Christmas break…but winter/spring would probably work for me. I still like the Chicago idea, but we could also do someplace warm!!…So sweet about DS drawing a picture for the teacher – and patiently waiting to give it to her…hope you get in your nap – you deserve it!!…I haven’t had a problem with mapmyroute – it even worked for me last summer when I wanted to calculate my running routes in Germany…but I suppose nothing’s perfect. My GPS device is not always 100% accurate either.

Jackie :: that is one reason I think I’ve shied away from some of the iTrains – I am one who needs the visual.

Hello cheetahs!!! Susan and I just got back from the advanced step class with Cathe:7 :7 :7 :7 :7 She is even more wonderful in person if you can believe it! Afterwards we went to another room for a more personal session and we all took pictures:eek: I don't have time to post any yet because Cathy will be coming soon to meet us for shopping. We feel so bad about Carole but she should be here for the meet and greet party.

I wish you could all be here with us!

Later

ShellyC
 
AWESOME ShellyC - THANKS!!!!! I love it.

Shopping?!?! You are all going shopping with Cathe? Oh, how fun!

ENJOY yourself and, again, keep us posted.

Marcia.
