Cheetahs Saturday Sound Off!

Hi ladies! I only have a second (yes, I'm actually at home). The show is huge so we won't end up showing before 5:00 tonight...uggh! I'm glad I called the office to keep tabs before we decided to leave. I was actually able to run home and make my chili now because I don't see me getting home tonight to do it...probably will be around 10pm or so...uggh!

I do want to send {{{{HUGS}}}} to Lorie, though! We are here for you honey!

Sorry, I've got to run for now. I'll probably see you guys in the morning! Ta ta.
 
shelly-i think you and everyone else are correct that this will be a change, and definitely for the better as change usually is, but i think the end result is that we are breaking up. his coldness, unwillingness to listen, unwillingness to compromise, and his refusal to truly see my side of the story tells me volumes. while he has been the most wonderful man, perhaps this is a side of him i had not yet had the chance to see (in the 1 1/2 years we've been together). i am so incredibly hurt by his actions. he said some pretty cold things-not mean, he's not that way, but cold and unfeeling.

i really don't want him coming by today but i keep trying to call him and his phone is off or he doesn't answer. he wants to come by because he has so many clothes here and needs some (he's here a great deal of the time). i am just really sad. maybe more because i don't like what i am seeing and seeing him this way makes me sad.

not to mention getting out and dating at 37! although, i am getting ahead of myself there.

i'm just sad.

no workout for me today. i am taking it easy and trying to do things to keep my mind off of everything. not easy, but i am trying.

thanks to all of you. you have no idea how much it means to me to know you care.

he just called and i didn't answer. he didn't feel the need to answer his phone. i didn't feel like answering mine. i know, stupid game playing but i don't think it would be wise to talk to him right now.
 
Jackie...welcome back! Way to go on the good price for Lucky jeans. Good luck on your half tomorrow...:)

Christine...wonder what Ryan died of? Glad your DH is acting the right way! Mine will be hunting tomorrow so that is good for me.

Shelly...I bet the 18 miles was tough. Do you taper now or one more tough week? It took me forever online to find a good price for any Saucony wide stability shoes!! I am so cheap! Yes, these will be my half shoes. I have run in Montrails...I used the Hardrock ones...good shoes. Enjoy your killer upper body workout and HIS/LIS combo.

Lorie...I was so wanting an update. My heart aches for you. Nothing wrong with games at this point IMO. When you are ready you will answer....more hugs coming your way...http://www.digitalmediatree.com/library/image/12/hug.gif[/img]...ahhhh....to be 37 again...:)

Not sure if I will workout, I seem to be on a cleaning binge...:)
 
Good Afternoon Ladies.

I wonder if Carole is still on her cleaning binge? Better a cleaning binge then an EATING binge like I've been on! And it's all CRAP! I'm talkin' CHOCOLATE CRAP! UGH! x( x( x( I feel so fowl right now. I am due to get my monthly visitor any day now which I am sure is a factor in my bad eating but it is also this lousy weather. I am so depressed and bored that I am going nuts over here! x( I don't think just doing yoga is gonna cut it at this point either. I am seriously considering pulling out Cardio X. It has a little bit of everything in it and it's on the easier side....Yeah, that's what I will do cause otherwise I will just go back to rummaging through my son's trick or treat bag...:eek: x(

Carole: I've decided that I just HAVE to try slo-mo before starting the X so I'll be doing it this week. So you will join me? }( After that I will switch over to endurance for the remainder of the month. :)

Well, if I am going to move my sugar over-loaded butt I need to do it NOW!

Sorry to complain so much. I feel like a heel doing it knowing what our poor Lorie is dealing with right now. :-(

BBL!
 
just popped in quickly to say WENDY- i will join you for a week of slo-mo! i am going to do endurance workouts this month until after my half and then it's back to heavy!

i will check back in tomorrow to tell you all about the competition tonight:7
 
Hello again! I changed my mind and did CTX upper body split instead and then did the doublecardio from 4DS. Nice workout for day when I go into work later. I'm ready for my nap now!

Lorie- Hugs over the computer just aren't enough!!! I was expecting this would end this way and you have such courage to face reality and do what is best. Your soon to be exDF just has too much mental baggage to handle a serious long term committment. Well, it is a new beginning for you :) :) There's a reason for this and I believe it's cuz there is someone out there you were REALLY meant for:)
I bet you'll be ready for a nice stress relieving run tomorrow;-)

Carole- I'll be doing one more long run- a 20 miler in a week. After that on Nov 17th I'm running in an 11 mile race and that's it for the challenging runs... it'll be taper time baby!

Wendy- Isn't there a new X series coming out soon? Is that the one you'll be doing? I just ordered some new workouts Amy's ACSII and Kelly Coffey-Meyer's new circuit workout. I'm holding off on SLO MO for now.... waiting on you other cheetahs to review it for me ;)

I just read about Ryan Shay's death in the Olympic Trials!! He must have had some underlying condition that was undiagnosed. It couldn't have been exhaustion, dehydration, etc since it was only 5.5 miles into the race. OMG how tragic!!!

That's all for now dear cheetahs. Lorie- we're all with ya hon!!!

ShellyC
 
Wendy...Carole took her cleaning binge outside for RAKING!!! OMG!...I cannot believe how many leaves and frigging acorns are out there. Sorry about the eating...TTOM does seem to bring it on. CardioX could help...:)..I will definitely join you and it looks like Sunny for a Slo-mo rotation next week..http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/5.gif[/img]

Lorie...still thinking about you...
 
OK, here is the mallet. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/symbolic/mallet.gif Who needs it first?

Carole :: enjoy the iClimb and the abs and legs floorwork…thanks for the tanning info. Do you do the stand-up booth or the bed?

Christine :: I am going on the Disney cruise to the Bahamas, where my sister is getting hitched. Hmmm, I can’t commit to a clean eating challenge (I don’t think I could ever eat *totally* clean), but I *will* commit to staying on-points at least through Wed...How terrible about that young marathoner.

Jackie :: welcome back! Glad you enjoyed yourselves…Sorry to hear Fantasia wasn’t on that night…Great score on the Lucky jeans!…Good luck in your race tomorrow! http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/goodluck/th_clover-1.gif

Shelly :: enjoy your w/out today!

Lorie :: I have been thinking of you, too…I’m sorry things seem to be taking a turn for the worse…I would be very curious to hear what he has to say…I suspect that it may be cold feet manifesting itself through this incident. You know you have our hugs and support. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee296/runninteach/th_hugs2-1.gif

Wendy :: aah, you’re not complaining. Hope CardioX hit the spot for ya.

I went to a matinee of Bee Movie (very cute! I’m a big Jerry fan). I can’t believe it’s now 4 pm. Haven’t yet worked out nor have I done a damned thing for school. I’m feeling none too ambitious right now. But I *will* work out. No doubt.

By the way, we have 9 people participating in the gift exchange. Emailed Susan, so hopefully she'll have a chance to check it.

Cardio X is done and it was JUST what the doctor ordered! My brain is soooo much happier now, as is my body now that I've sweat out some of that sugar!:) I know alot of folks don't care for that work out but I must admit that I really like it! I'll have to find a place for it in my X rotation since I know I will be tweaking it some anyway. ;)

Carole: Good job on the leaf raking. That's a work out in itself. I'm excited to do slo-mo with you and Sunny this coming week. :)

Sunny: Glad to have you join us for slo-mo. :)

Shelly: The new X's come out some time in December but we are planning on doing the original come Dec 1 or thereabouts. Wether we buy the new work outs and switch up mid-rotation has yet to be seen!}(

Cathy: The Bee movie looked really cute. I thought about taking DS to see it but at 2 I just can't see taking him into a theater. My SIL took him to see Shrek 3 and he sat through it but I am still nervous about it. Enjoy your work out. :)

K, I must jump in the shower as we should be heading to my mom's with in the hour!

BBL and thanks for letting me vent before!:)
 
Wendy :: Glad CardioX left you feeling better. Believe it or not, I never actually got around to trying that one...There were A LOT of kids under 3 at this movie, to my surprise. I think some of them were a bit too young, to be honest. There was quite a bit of crying. Have fun at your mom's. And feel free to vent anytime! That's what we're here for. :)

Cathy: Cardio X is a meld of yoga x, kenpo, plyo and core syn. It's basically broken down into 10 min segments of each so you get a little bit of everything in one 45 minute work out. :)

Okay, gotta get the kiddo ready to go now.

BBL.:)
 
Wendy :: thanks for the explanation. Sounds interesting!

I just finished 4DS B&C and KM w/u and kick/punch combos.
 
well, it's been a very trying day. i did speak to df (or whatever) and he really wants to come over tomorrow and talk. he does not want to break up but i do think he is getting cold feet about getting married. it makes me sad because that means i wouldn't be in vegas with some of you (that might say something in itself that i am upset about that and not as much that i wouldn't be getting married).

anyway, i do think we have a lot to talk about. i don't feel like i have the energy, but i know i need to talk to him. in his defense, he has been a wonderful boyfriend/fiance up to this point. still, i feel like this has opened my eyes a little. i am also concerned about his mother and her manipulative behaviors. i wonder what other crap she would try and pull. that said, he hardly ever sees her or really talks to her (her big complaint) so i guess she wouldn't be too much of a factor. but she is causing a lot of trouble and you can't tell me she didn't know exactly what she was doing!!!

there's a lot to think about and each and every one of you gave me such wonderful advice.

i am not sure what will happen. part of me just wants this to be over and to move on but i also feel like i owe him a chance to talk.

sometimes, relationships suck. maybe that's why i was a serial dater before him.
 
I feel like dog doo doo. :-( I am going to play tmrw morning's run by ear. Perhaps how I feel is a fluke and I will still be able to run. I'll have to see. If I am really getting sick AGAIN I am going to be very upset. I went to Walgreens on the way home from my mom's and stocked up on their version on Airborne. I also bought/drank some orange juice and I am drinking a cup of green tea as I type this. Now all I can do is keep my fingers crossed.



Lorie: I am glad to hear that the two of you are going to atleast talk it out (calmly) before possibly deciding to break up. If you talk and decide that this relationship is no longer what you want then you should absolutely break it off and move on but to break up in the "heat" of fight is not always the best move. Now that tempers are calmer maybe you two can work it out. I wish you the best no matter what the outcome.



Time for me to hit the couch for a bit and then to bed.

Night ladies.
 
Hi again! I had posted and thought I "posted the post" earlier this afternoon....but it is not here....so I guess I messed up somewhere along the line x(

Shelly - Oh my God! I read that about Ryan Shay! That is sooo sad. And very scary. Good job on your workout! You asked about my plans and workout for the day.....I went to my Grandson's birthday party went to pick up my race packet for my 1/2 marathon tomorrow and went to dinner. No workout today :)

Lorie - Oh my! I hope everything turns out for you and DF. I hope it works out in the way that is best for you and the way you want it to. That is sad that his mother is trying to come between you!

Wendy, Sonny, and Carole - I am planning on doing SLO-Mo next week, too! I can't wait to try it! I haven't even previewed it yet. I previewed her step one and the Bosu one, but that is all.

Jackie - Where is your 1/2? I am running one tomorrow, too! Mine is the Healthy Huntington (Marshall University Marathon)Marathon. Good luck! I will be thinking about ya and running "with ya"!

Christine - Those were adorable pics you posted yesterday!!! :)

Well, I am going to go try and get some rest and sleep! My race is 50 miles away from me, so I have to get up really early and I know I am not going to be able to sleep!! I am really nervous, as I am running this one by myself. I hate doing that!!! Everyone always backs out on me x(

Talk to you guys later!

Linda
 
Hey Hot Mamma's!:)

I thought I had checked in again but it looks like I haven't! That means I have alot of catching up to do.

Today I only slept until 12 and I felt like I had a hangover all day. Tonight it appears that things will be quieter so I should be able to get a little shut eye...which should make tomorrow a little easier. The weather was suppose to be nasty tomorrow but now it is looking up. If the winds are still high, I won't get for a run but if they aren't, Im hoping to get a long run in. We went for a run today but it was only about an hour long. For some weird reason DS started to cry, he did stop after a while but b/c he was crying I ran on st's that were closer to home. All in all a good run, I think I was running pretty fast b/c of DS's crying:eek:

Wendi** Sounds like you are having a pretty busy day. Your world famous chilly sounds good right about now!:9 You know...I don't think I have ever made chilly. Prehaps you should PM me the recipe!? Thats something I could cook in the slow cooker when I am working all day!

Wendy** Good job on the workout. Sometimes when we eat bad, its just what we need to feel better about the whole thing:) As for what rotation to follow..Im not to sure. I really didn't get the results I wanted until I was magically 10 lbs lighter then prepreg. I say magically b/c I don't know how I did it. I was a little concerned at first b/c how can you keep weight off, if you don't know how you took it off? But it seems to be staying off and today I was 120.4..lowest yet. I think when Christmas rolls around and I have the christmas rush, I will probably go below 120. I won't stay there though, I know that, and thats o.k with me. How did this end up being about me??? haha!!! Anyway, I think that the Pyramids would be considered enurance. I did PUB yesterday and Im not sure at all. But I think the GS's would be considered strength.

Cathy** Yes, I got your PM and I sent you the info you need. This is exciting!!!

Lorie** {{HUGS}} Relationships can be sooooo hard at times! I hope everything works out and think long and hard before you rush into a decision you may regret.

Sunny** I agree...competiting, sounds like fun! I haven't been on skates in yrs! I think before I was preggo with DD and she is now 11. It is hard leaving the little ones. Thanks goodness it isn't Mon-Fri either. I added up what I will pay a sitter in a month and its only $140, which is nothing! Now I am seriously considering having another one.Doing it and getting it over with!

Linda** My job is kind of fun, boring at times but I do get to meet lots of different people. Sometimes I feel like hopping on the plane with them! Tonight there were people going to Paris...how nice is that?? Work related Im sure, but who cares? Its Paris!

CArole** Glad to hear you like your new shoes:) I asked DH to order me in a new pair as well. Ive had these sneaks for a while now. Probably 8 monthes and I have put some good miles on them. He ordered me the same kind, different color. I always buy Asics.

Jackie** Glad to hear you had a good trip!

Christine** You bad girl!!! I haven't been the best either! This place is full of bad food and someone keeps bringing Halloween candy here and putting it out on display! Its only twizzlers though and they don't do it for me! 8 miles should take care of it though.

Shelly** Upper Body work??? But why? I think you need a good leg workout;) haha I haven't done a full leg workout in a while. I think b/c I have been running so much, I think its all I need! LOL Im having an o.k time at work now but I know I am going to have a hard time Wed and Thurs b/c it will be the first full days away from DS and he will be with the sitter...whom he cries with! Oh well..she isn't going to hurt him so I know its just him, being a baby! :7 Poor thing!

Alright, I think thats it! I think Im gonna have a look to see whats on ebay. You know, I got a really weird ebay from ebay the other day asking for my SIN #, is that weird or is it just me? Needless to say, I didn't give it to them
