Good morning Cheetahs! I’ve got a cold so took some Thereflu cold medicine last night. I was asleep before 9 and didn’t get up until 8 this morning. My workout today will be PUB and elliptical. I’ll throw in some abs too since I could not bring myself to work them yesterday after running 5 miles and then doing B&G leg blast. I’ve got a ways to go with B&G. Like on the one legged lunges (where one foot is on the step behind you) I always have to pull out of those early. For some reason those have always been tough for me.
Anyway, I’m going to attempt some personals now.
Cathy, After almost 2 decades doing the same computer programming job I am ready to switch. For the past 6 years I was working part time primarily from home but have not been working since June. So right now I am working my way toward being a paralegal by taking Real Estate Law, Interviewing and Investigating for Paralegals, Current Ethical Issues for Paralegals, Legal Terminology for Paralegals and a Nutrition class thrown in for fun. I must say that I am struggling with the fact that I am 47 years old and wondering when I am done with all of the classes if anyone will hire an old lady!
I could never come home from anywhere and take a nap then get up and work out. Actually, I’m not too good at getting my workouts done if I don’t get them out of the way in the morning. I’ll just send you a check today for the Cheetah shirt.
Barb, So did your bread machine do all of the kneading and you just used the stock pot instead of bread pans? The marathon I signed up for is June 3rd in San Diego. And we’ll see how amazing it turns out to be! I took some time off from running and my diet was fairly bad too so I have about 7 stubborn lbs to lose. My speed is much slower than it was last year at this time but I’m not going to sweat it. I just needed the focus and that’s really the only reason I signed up. Also, I have a dear friend who is overweight and she’s been working at losing some of it and might be walking the marathon. I did tell her that I would walk with her if she signs up. I actually cringe at the thought but I would be so happy if she were to get herself on the path to a healthier lifestyle that I would do it. But just this once!!! LOL! She’s not the most stick-to-it person though so we’ll see how her plan pans out.
Wendy, I see you are deep into P90X. Which rotation are you doing and how do you like it? I have the workouts but have never ever completed a rotation. The feed back I’ve heard about not enough leg work sort of worries me. Are you using the cardio that is included?
Laurie, I gather from your post that things did not work out with Glenn after all and that you are meeting people through personals. How many dates have you had so far? What happened to your ankle? Sorry, I’ve been out of touch for at least a month and I’m a little lost with what’s going on with everyone!
Carole, It’s good to be back! See? You are one of the people who said their legs didn’t fare well after doing a P90X rotation. I think about doing a rotation every now and then with some Cathe legs thrown in. But then I start feeling overwhelmed, wondering how I can do P90X plus Cathe plus run. So my workouts sit there while I feel like I am missing out……
Laura, I’m in there too with needing to lose some weight. It just does not melt away very easily at my age! But the real problem is probably that I don’t like the uncomfortable feeling of being a little bit hungry. LOL! Maybe following a diet would help. Is the Eat Clean Diet the one from the Oxygen Magazine model?
Judy, I see you ended up getting the elliptical rather than that other machine. What sold you on the elliptical? When you were debating between the two I was worried that there was something better than an elliptical!
Gayle! I have not “seen” you in a long time! Are you married now? So sorry for your mother and hoping everything ends up well. Good luck with the 10K tomorrow! I’m a breadaholic too so I should really steer clear of Barb’s recipe until I get rid of these extra 7 lbs I’m sporting.
Sunny, Another P90Xer! Sheesh I really feel like I’m missing out now! I’ve got the workouts so I’ve got no excuses really. I see you’ve got some clients now. Do you still have your other job or are you strictly a personal trainer now. And, excuse me but I’ve not kept up with any of you, did you get that job at the YMCA?
Shelly, I owe belated congratulations on your marathon last month! I did actually look up your time on their website and was impressed. I’ll be running (Or maybe walking. See my note to Barb above) the San Diego RnR marathon. I don’t know how this one is going to go but having something to focus on is the motivation I need right now so it doesn’t really matter. Are you loving your new elliptical?
Whew! I believe that’s everyone for now. Gotta go get some breakfast then workout. Talk to you all later!
