:::CHEETAHS:::Monday

Good morning, Cheetahs!

What a weekend this has been. We are in some severe flooding here in SE MN. My mom had to be evacuated and the water got up to less than a foot from her front door. Thank goodness it never got in and nothing is wet....whew...But, what a mess. I'll try to get a picture trail going so you can see some of the pics they are unreal! The damage that water can do is still just baffled me to no end. Our town was under water for a big part of it. It takes me twice as long to get into town because I have to drive so far away to find a road that is open to travel on, it's crazy.....

So, needless to say, I didn't get a work out in except for driving in my car and looking at all the damage. I'm going to contact our city hall to tell them that I will help if they need someone to do anything there will be a lot of clean up to be done.

I hope everyone has a great workout and great day. I'm off to get ready for work. Good thing I work the other way and not in my hometown or I might not get there.

Take care,
Marcia.
 
Good Morning Girls!:)

Well, as I posted later last night...no work out for me y'day.x( I pulled out HSTA though and put it on my desk before I went to bed as that is what I will do this afternoon. Do you believe my legs are still hurtin' me!? YIKES!:eek: I know HSTA is much harsher on the U/B though so hopefully I can make it through w/o a problem....

Marcia: YIKES! Sorry about all of the flooding and damage by you. Very nice of you to volunteer your services to the areas that were hit. Glad your mom got out safely and that there isn't actually any water damage in her home. Hugs to you!

I don't have to be in work until 9am today so I'll be hangin' around for a bit longer then usual today so I'll pop back in in a bit!

BFN!:)
 
Hey guys!

Marcia-thank goodness your mom and her house are fine. I, also, can't believe the damamge that nature can do. Unbelievable sometimes!

Well, I actually got to bed by 12:30am last night! LOL Made my date leave early :) YEsterday's cookout was great and DELISH! I just laugh how everybody comments that I make it look so easy to cook healthy meals. LOL Not like I do anything special or anything...just don't add all the junk stuff to the good stuff. Even the dessert was rather healthy (chocolate zucchine cake). I then shared my new found love of dried edamame and roasted soy beans. Again, it was a hit with the crowd! Go figure! LOL

This morning, after FINALLY getting enough sleep, I did Leaner Legs and All Step. It was a CTX morning, I guess.

The temps are supposed to stay cool all week, and the rain is here for a few days also. Today I'm painting my extra bedroom! I'm PSYCHED!

Hey Ladies, I'm easing into the week, not working until 2:30 today. My blister won't let me run today so I think I'll do some serious stepping. IMAX3 should do it}( Then some upper body work. I'm a bit afraid to go to work, now that I'm at they gym I'm getting much more atheletic people, I'm massaging a professional hockey player today! My co-workers were joking with me Friday saying I'd better rest up and eat hardy before I come into work today. I'm looking forward to it.....I think;-)

Marcia, mother nature can be a real b!tch sometimes! I can't imagine the emotional upheaval that comes with such an experience. Glad your Mom's home wasn't flooded.

Wendy, sorry to ask again but, what did you do to get such a, seemingly, chronic case of DOMS? Enjoy HSTA today, it's a goodie!

Amy, that's a long day, hope it's a good one!

Gayle, glad you got a good sleep, sure puts a brighter slant on everything when we are well rested. What the heck in dried edamame??

Shelly, thanks for the hugs and input yesterday, you are a sweetie:*

Got to take my 16 yo Marley shopping for something to wear to my niece's wedding on Sept. 1st. Should be fun, I love shopping with the Girls but only when we are on a specific mission. Shopping for the sake of shopping eludes me but I know so many people who love to browse and shop. Time to clear out the cobwebs and get my endorphin fix:7

Take Care

Good morning cheetahs

Marcia...that is awful about the flooding. Wow, sounds like the water got close to your Mom's. Good she got out of her house...is it supposed to ease up anytime soon?

Wendy...so did you find any good deals shopping??..:)..Have fun with HSTA today..

Amy...enjoy the kids today.

Gayle..sounds like a great cookout. LL is a great workout. I will be doing some painting too today...

Laurie...wow, you get to massage a pro!! I think that would make me rather nervous....:)...you will have to tell us if he is cute...:)..I agree about the shopping, I am not at all a browser, when I go it is for something specific. Hope you find something for Marley...

Elaine...so you will have to miss Boston? That is no fun...:(...are you running at all or using the Elliptical?

Jackie...great pics!!! Thanks for sharing.

I am doing GS Shoulders, bi's and tri's, abs and 40 min on my EXT.

Have a great day...
 
I'm here at work and it sounds like the whole area here, too, were flooded - YUCK! It just smells everywhere from all the water sitting. It's suppose to rain all week, too, but not as much so hopefully the water will continue to resede.

I'm hoping to get a real kick-butt workout in when I get home. That should ease some stress of this weather, but that is if I am not needed at the flood site.

If I want to have a Picture Trail, do I just go on the website and register? Is it free?

Thanks, Marcia.
 
Good morning Cheetahs!

I have classes every day this week except Friday. Man, the summer just flew by! I have not decided what workout I will do today. I still have a lot of unpacking and washing of clothes to do, not to mention the grocery shopping that needs to be done.

Wendy, Hmmm, DOMS in your quads from Butts and Guts? I would think your butt would be hurting.

Carole, I was using my elliptical some but backed off thinking that was why I am not 100% better yet. But at this point I don't think it was making a difference one way or the other. I'm really quite frustrated. I have not run since Feb 12..... a little over 6 months! Sometimes I wonder if the PF will ever go away.

Marcia, Sorry about the flooding!

Laurie, I just don't have time to browse and shop with no clear goal but when I am looking for something I do enjoy the shopping experience immensely. Have fun!

Good morning to everyone else!
 
Good morning cheetahs! I hope everyone's week is off to a good start. I got in a nice motorcycle ride with DH yesterday and hopefully today we can go off road for some dirtbiking fun:7

Elaine- Your vacation did sound blissfully peaceful. The kind I take usually leaves me feeling like I need another vacation! Wow, that must be so frustrating to have to forgo Boston x( Do they have a specific time period where you have to enter after qualifying?
I really have to admire your spirit in spite of all this!!!

Jackie- Congratulations on another fine race performance yesterday!!!! Great pics, you look terrific cheetahgal:7

Marcia- Wow, you are dealing with some serious weather issues there!!
The picturetrail site is free and very easy to set up and use.... we all really look forward to seeing your pics!!!! I so admire your willingness to pitch in for you community. It's what makes this nation great!

Wendy- Good luck with HSTA today. So it was the B&G premix that got the legs eh? I haven't done that one in a while.... may go for it tomorrow though.

Amy- Hope your workday with the kids goes well.... I don't know where you find the energy to work out also after a 10 hr day with little ones!!!

Gayle- Sounds like a great day to stay indoors with a painting project. It does sound like your backyard party was quite a hit.You are having some late nites lately. Could this potentially turn into something serious?

Laurie- I figured your new job would give you a very different kind of clientele! I would figure that your basic out of shape person getting a massage would complain alot more about their aches and pains... in your experience is that the case? I am so with you on the shopping! I just want to get what I need and go home... not into it at all!

Carole- I guess this is your strength week. I went through the GS series last week and had the DOMS to prove it. Congrats again an a very successful long run yesterday. Going for 16 on Friday :eek:

Time to start moving and catch up on cleaning and bill paying:(
But first some kickboxing:7 I'll be doing Amy's KBExt and later today an hour on the EXT.

Good morning Cheetahs!

Marcia - You're having flooding there and we can barely get a good shower. Glad your mom didn't get any water damage and you made it to work ok. Nice of you to volunteer to help out where needed.

Wendy - Still sore? That was one tough workout! Hope you make it through HSTA ok.

Amy - Have a good day with the kids.

Gayle - Love edamame and roasted soybeans. Have fun painting.

Laurie - A blister? OUCH!! The massage therapist told me I had good muscles for a deep tissue massage because they weren't all hard. Do you find that with your clients? He couldn't believed I got muscles from working out at home. :) We are no wimps! Have fun shopping.

Carole - Hope you had a good workout today.

Elaine - Sounds like a busy day for you catching up after vacation.

Shelly - Motorcycle ride sounds nice. Are you getting better with it? Have fun dirt biking. I realize running the races now really helps with my pace. It makes me run faster than being out there alone. First 10K is in 3 weeks. Those bills just don't seem to go away do they?

I must have been tired. I slept through the night. That made me happy. This morning was Muscle Max and a little extra stretching. Legs are sore from yesterday and I don't think MM will improve on it.

Enjoy your day!

Jackie
 
Ahhh...sweet SUCCESS!!! Marley and I both got very cute dresses for the wedding! IMAX3 was a good fit today, glad I chose it.

Carole, I did GS Shoulders today as well, it did the trick, I'm finally able to get through 1 full set of overhead presses with 15#, I can do some of the second set but I keep the 12's very close:)

Marcia, wish you could send up some of that rain, my lawn is more like a meadow these days, don't need to cut the grass (hay) but the weeds are doing amazing :+

Elaine, nice to see you here! Cheetahs may roam but they always come back to the pack:)

Shelly, yes I do a lot of biting my tongue with sedentary clients who complain, complain, complain. It's a good thing they are face down half of the time so they can't see the expression on my face:)

Jackie, depth of work is a funny thing, some very small people can take so much pressure that I feel I'm massaging bones and some very bulky folks can take very little pressure. I just never know until I get in there:) You are so right, we are not wimps! Glad you could enjoy a little extra stretch.

I'd better go eat my Wheaties for Mr. Hockey:+

Take Care

Hello Cheetahs!

This is a quick post today. I didn't workout at all this weekend, but I had a great time. For some reason during the weekend I can't carve out an hour to workout. It must be because my kids are still so needy since they are still so young. Oh, well they are only young once and I want to make the most out of it. Anyway, today during lunch I did C&B and tonight after the kids are in bed I will be doing ARX.

Have a great day!!
 
Hi Ladies.

HSTA is DONE!}(

Amy: Hope you had a fun day with the kids today!

Gayle: Aren't these cooler temps a blessing? We are getting rain here so that stinks but I am lovin' the cool air for a change. :)

Laurie: Massaging a professional hockey player!? OMG, you lucky girl!;) You must tell us how his muscles felt!}( :p }( My insane DOMS came from B&G's Leg Blast premix that I did on Saturday! It gets me every time...some times are worse then others though.:7 I am hoping that doing HSTA today helped to ease the last of it out though. We'll see.

Carole: Nope, nothin' good while shopping y'day. I was looking for a new kitchen table/chairs set but couldn't find one cheap enough! LOL Enjoy your work out today!

Elaine: So what work out have you decided on? Don't you just HATE unpacking after a vacation? I know I do! B&G gets me in every muscle above the knee! It certainly creates it's share of butt DOMS too but it certainly does not stop there with me...not even close! LOL

Shelly: Dirtbiking sounds fun! Hope you get to enjoy that today.

Jackie: Sounds like you are trying to get 3 day DOMS in the legs too. LOL I made it through HSTA just fine. The squat over the highstep and the sit-n-stands made me wince a bit but other then that I was fine!;)

Kristi: Glad you had fun with your kids this weekend. Not the end of the world about the work outs. I didn't work out sat or sun either.

Where's Cathy today??

Okay, I'm outta here for now!
BBL!:+
 
Hi Cheetahs,
Wow what a busy weekend. My parents came in to town and we had tons of stuff to do with the family.
I did IMAX 3 yesterday ughh, and just lifted some weights today.
I'm off to have dinner with a friend I just wanted to say a quick "Hello" to you all.
