Good morning Cheetahville!

Super quick fly by for me this morning. I did CF Mix & Max (even though I had very little energy and had trouble getting going) this morning...good calorie burner at 605! I also have Haymax and a ride-a-thon on tap for work today so I should be one pooped Cheetah when i get home tonight lol!

I *hope* to have a couple of minutes tonight to catch up. Workdays have been insanely long (today will be no exception) and we are showing tomorrow...UGHHHHHHH! I have to show Miss Toad tomorrow...*fun*!

Have a great Saturday!
 
Morning Cheetahs :)


On tap today is a 4mile run and GIANT sets for my triceps.

I need to swing by indoor soccer this morning after the gym. DH runs a youth program for little girls and today is their last day. I am the cookie mom and have been asked to drop off some baked goods. It's so good I do not like sweets as that I was a$$ high in baking yesterday. I know I'm weird :) :)

BTW 12 days I'll be in the SOUTH :7 Just thought I'd toss that in.

Any plans this weekend? I think we may hit an afternoon movie. Maybe 21. Then tonight we may go out :) :)

Wendi: What's your job? Sounds like you are so busy. Enjoy your Saturday.

Judy: SIL's youngest DS goes to brighton

Where are all you chatty cheetahs this morning? :) Maybe Wendy is still playing her WII

OK I need refill--I may be back
 
Morning!

I'm about to do either Athletic Step Jam or Hi/Lo Knockout. Can't decide. We have DD's friend party this afternoon and family b-day party following. It will be a long, but fun one. :)

Sunny ~ That would be too cool if we were neighbors!!! :) It turned out to be a beautiful day here too. If I had done the stairs instead of my early workouts I wouldn't have gotten all my errands done, so I guess it was just as well. Next week for sure though! How long did you run the stairs? Were you having a major playdate?!!? 5 kids!!??!

Wendy ~ Can't wait to hear about your Wii purchases. We haven't gotten anything new since Christmas. I'm interested in that fitness game you and Sunny are talking about. Is it available now?

Wendi ~ Nice workout! That's a nice calorie burn! Have fun with haymax. ;-)

Kath ~ Oooo, what kind of cookies did you make?? Now those along with brownies would not last long here!}( Have fun on the run and working those triceps.

I guess that about catches me up here. :) Hi to all who follow!

Have a great day and workouts!
 
Good Morning Girls.

Well I guess you know what I was doing last night since I did not manage to get back here!:p

We went to Radio Shack, Target, Costco, Wendy's for a bite to eat (yes, BAD! I know but atleast I got a salad!), and the liquor store for some Wii beverages (BAD too but I only had 2!).

We picked up Guitar Hero 3 ofcourse and then something called Carnival Games. It appears to be interactive and looks like fun. Silly fun but fun nonetheless. We only got to play GH last night so perhaps we can try the other one at nap time today. I ended up fairing pretty well with GH3. When I had first attempted it at DH's cousin's house it was set on the regular game. I couldn't do it. Last night we set it on practice first and I slowed the song speed down for the first few tries. This enabled me to get a grasp on the coordination. I scored atleast 80% on everything I played including Barracuda at normal speed!:7 We started playing in Career mode and stopped playing when we got to a sticking point. DH will have to work on beating that one later. I don't think I'll be able to do it! LOL

That was my night and this morning the top of my forearm of my "strumming" arm is sore!:7

I was going to take a rest day today but I don't want to. I feel good. I think my shoulder has even recovered. Not sure what I'll do at this point (except NO LEG WORK!) but I have time to decide....

BB in a few with personals!:)
 
hello,

wendi- way to push thru an intense workout when you are low on energy! hopefully work will slow down for you and give you a chance to catch your breath.

kath- have fun being cookie mom today:) sounds like a nice program dh runs.

wendy- so are you in love with your wii? it's so addictive and fun. we don't have GH for wii however we do have it for playstation 2. i do agree it is pretty hard to get the hang of it. i don't play it too much. bowling is lots more fun (and easier);) so what workout did you decide on?

dallas- i did the stairs for 20 mins after running a mile. my legs are feeling it today (i am sure some if from my b&g class yesterday}( ). i had my 2 nephews and neice over for family fun night!

this morning i did iclimb jumpin' ripped abs for the first time. i really liked to concept of being the elliptical and then jumping off for intervals of jumping rope.

off to train one of my friends. i was supposed to get in my yard and do some yard work and planting however it's raining here so that ain't gonna happen.x(

ttyl...:)
 
Good morning cheetahs

Wendi...good luck on your busy day today! I do hope Miss Toad behaves tommorrow...

Cathy...LOL about my MIL rhyming with "peach"...

Christine...Hi fives for Donald!! Thanks for sharing that former paratrooper's story...:D...Sorry you guys owe taxes....:(...we have not paid for some time, I don't make great money! No, I have not gotten Amy's yet. I never seem to get a shipping notice from her so I am not sure when I get them. Be careful with that finger!!

Kath...I guess our MIL's are just pieces of work...I don't think mine has ever stepped foot in my house...which is not a bad thing...:). Enjoy your run and tricep workout. You are not weird, I don't like many sweets myself like cake and pie or any kind of pastry...YUK! But I do like homemade cookies.

Dallas..Happy Birthday to DD!!! Hope the party goes well...Thanks for the review of In The Ring...I am with you on Amy's step...mostly confused! LOL about the choc llama!!

Wendy...when I e-file my taxes we also get the refund fast. Sounds like you are enjoying the Wii...LOL about the strumming arm!!

Sunny...enjoy training your friend. I need to do some yardwork too...not sure if it supposed to rain here or not today.

Kristi...I hope you had a nice B-Day dinner with your Grandmother, I bet your cross stitch was pretty. Sorry about your knee still being painful.

Shelly...sorry about your transcript troubles...I always hate that lame "We are busy" excuse! How are the inner thighs after the torture yesterday? I know once I get TT going it'll go fast. I am just mad at myself for not keeping good track of some of the records I need...

Jackie...I like doing kbx with weighted gloves. Good workout yesterday.

I really LIKE the PP's!! it actually makes push-ups more fun for me...:)...today will be most likely a leg circuit.

Have a great day...:)
 
carole- glad you are enjoying your PP's!! enjoy your leg circuit.

judy- LMAO!!

christine- how is that finger doing today? i hope it's feeling much better.
 
I'm back. I kicked some butt in my 4miler this morning. 31 minutes not bad for me :)

Sunny: It is a nice program he runs. He doesn't charge anyone anything. Runs it every saturday for 2 hours. Everyone is welcomed. the girls pick Countries for their team names. Last week he gave this new girl a chance to pick the name. She said Alaska :) He grinned. Course lots of mom's like it. They can have some free time for 2 hours. :) MY DD is a mentor for the little ones. It will be her last year as that she graduates this June.

Wendy: You are going to end up with a carpal tunnel thing :) Something like Guitar hero hand????? :7

Carole: I've learned to just smile at her. That kills her more than getting me all upset. PLus liquor helps lots when she is around :)

I think someone asked what kind of cookies. I made chocolate chip and m & m brownies and a batch of hershey kiss cookies.

Ok need to flip flop loads of laundry and maybe get in the shower before the soccer crew comes home :)

Have a terrific saturday girls :)
 
Good morning Cheetahs!

Just want to report in with my workout. I'm doing some packing today and really need to get started while I'm in the mood. I did iTread #2 60 minutes, 6 Minute Abs and Cool It Off Express. I did get started on the packing last night even though it was only a couple of boxes. Maybe if I get to take a break, I'll catch up later.

Enjoy your Saturday. It's raining, cold and dreary here. Probably a perfect day to do some packing. Don't really want to get out in the rain.

Jackie
 
Good Morning Cheetahs!

Sorry for the drive by! I got caught up in menu planning, and such, so that by the time I got around to my beloved Cheetahs, I looked at the time and said EEEEK! But I did want to say hi!

It's overcast and dicy out there right now, so I'll be doing a video today. As I have totally planned on a hike, now I have to think. :p I'm thinking of starting with BOSU Blast, then maybe going to All Body Attack and doing as much as I can - or going vice versa - I don't know.

Carole - I wanted to tell you that I'm expecting my new Amy's today (Saturday?!? But that's what the Fed Ex notice says). You might see them today too! In the Ring is already on my rotation for tomorrow! YEAH!

Finger is doing better, thanks everyone for asking. It's a little black and blue, but nothing like it was before. DH told me that he needed to take out a bigger insurance policy on me as he's convinced these kettlebells will be the death of me. :+

We went to a new restaurant last night - La Roux Louisiana Kitchen. Great food. I had a spinach salad and some Jambalaya. YUM! DH started with onion rings - they were sooo greasy - I had one and my stomach let me know that this was not cool! The good thing is that one ring kept me from eating too much.

I'll be back later with personals!
 
Well, I almost always do my posts in Word now, because I lose them. Today I did it the other way….and lost it…and I don’t know how! Crap!

Wendi – Good job on your workout! Take it easy with Haymax and enjoy your ride-a-thon!!!

Kath – Just slip me some cookies before you drop them off! I like cookies, carrot cake and dark chocolate…but that is really the only sweets I like. Oh..I like cheesecake, too!
You’re lucky about being in the south in 12 days!

Dallas – Enjoy the BD party! Have fun with whichever workout you do!

Wendy – My daughter got GH for her Wii last night! I’ll bet it would be fun!

Sunny – Sorry your work in the yard got messed up! Enjoy training! That iclimb sounds really good!

Carole – You sound just like me with the sweets….except that I love Dark chocolate! Glad you are enjoying the PP’s!

Judy – LOL…good one about the PP! I agree with you on pushups!

Jackie – Good job on your workout! It is actually pretty and sunny here today. Not very warm, though. Hope you get a lot accomplished with your packing! I hate to pack!!

Christine – Your friend must be a cutely pie! That is funny….but awful about Tucker eating his ski boot! Oh no! Sorry that you smashed your finger again!

Question for all you KBers. Do you guys use Wrist Guards? I started to do EX KB this morning…but I quit off the bat, because my wrist is still bruised from the other day. I looked for guards at Sport Mart last night, but they didn’t have any. What do you guys do?

I ended up doing MM and halfway through that, my friend called to see if I wanted to run. So…I jumped at the chance. I finished MM, then we went running. But….I wasn’t feeling so great for some reason. My legs felt like lead and I was huffing and puffing. Grrr.

I previewed my In the Ring last night and I think it looks wonderful! I should have ordered the other Amy through her, instead of through CIA. I e-mailed Greg Thursday to see if he had resent my CIA’s. He said he would send them that day. He had previously said he would send them last Monday. So….it will be awhile before I get them. :<(

Hi to everyone that checks in later!

Anyway….Have a great day!
 
Cathy – Did you call Customer Service? You mentioned to Christine about gloves for the KB’s….that may work. I am going to see if I can find some wrist guards …..I picture mine going through the tv, too. I am still scared of them!! ;>)

Shelly – I am sorry you are having a bit of a difficult time trying to get your RN license in Pa! It is a bummer that your school is dragging their feet! Thanks for the info on the stab.ball part with Athletic Step Jam! That sounds awesome! I cannot wait to get mine! Are you liking your adjustable DB’s? That was so sweet! They sound great!

Kristi – How is your knee doing?

Linda
 
Okay, Shelly, I take back all my negative words about All Body Attack. I did it today and it got me good! I used 5 pound weights as I did not want to really work myself, but as I have not been doing traditional weights, even those got me. I did add a little of ASCII on the end, but not as much as I thought I would. I was fried. I love it! It is a fun workout, I just needed to get used to the idea of how different it is.

Well, Fed Ex is saying that my Amy DVD's are still sitting in the Fed Ex location, so I highly doubt I'll get them today (made no sense anyway). I'll get them Monday. Hmm, normally I take Tuesday off. Guess I'll have to take Monday instead. :p

Groceries done, Jimmy had a nice romp at the dog park, and DH is asleep in his chair (he's been having issues sleeping with his allergies), while both dogs are asleep beside him. It's kind of funny.

Wendi – Great job at pushing through the workout! Hope Haymax and the ride-a-thon went well! Good luck with Miss Toad!

Kath – You don’t like cookies?! Oh my… I feel like you’re missing out on one of life’s simple pleasures! But, then again, if I didn’t like cookies so much, it would be a lot easier to control my eating! :p

Dallas – So which workout did you do? I’m anxious to hear what the Cheetahs think of Hi/Lo Knockout. Have fun at all the birthday parties today! And Happy Birthday to DD!!!!

Wendy – Wii beverages are a MUST!! Sounds like you had a good time with GH on your new Wii! My DD loves it!

Sunny – oh that one sounds like fun! I think the elliptical and jumping rope would be fun, too. Have fun training your friends! Sorry about the yard work!

Carole – I loved that story about Donald! I saw the interview on TV and was just clapping for him. I think we’ll get Amy’s workouts on Monday. I was hoping for today, but I didn’t think Fed Ex would deliver on the weekends. Bummer.

Judy – I’m with you on the perfect pushups! :p

Jackie – great workout! Enjoy PackMax!

Linda – Yeah, Mark is cute – he’s also a character – went through medical school and discovered he did not like working with patients. He is now partner’s with a group of doc’s who read MRI’s for hospitals, but he takes 1 week off for every 3 worked. He and his wife like to enjoy life. They’re great people. Seriously – take your lightest kettlebell outside in the grass where it cannot do damage, and do a swing with it, and let go. Those suckers are too heavy to fly far – they just come crashing down in front of you – your TV is safe. :p Step Jam does sound like fun, doesn’t it? I might have to order that one too.

Edited to add - Fed Ex Ground DOES deliver on Saturday! I got my videos! I'm doing In the Ring tomorrow!! YEAH!!!
 
Sunny...I think whoever created the PP's was a smart one...:D

Kath...LOL about the liquor!! My problem is I would have to fight my MIL for some...:D..31 mins is a great time for 4 miles...

Jackie..good luck with the packing. Good workout. We have cold and windy weather but no rain today.

Christine...LOL about DH getting more insurance on you because of the KB's! Sounds like an interesting restaurant, I LOVE onion rings but greasy ones are not good. I like the frozen Alexia brand and they are not greasy: http://www.alexiafoods.com/product_info.html?product_id=5 I knew Fed-Ex delivered on Sat!! I can't wait for your review tomorrow!!!

Linda..I am a fan of dark chocolate too! I love the dark chocolate Peanut M&M's...YUM!!! Sorry your legs felt like lead during your run with your friend...I hope to get my Amy's Monday.

I did a fun circuit with the kicking and punching drills from KM and then did 3 of the B&G standing exercise alternating drills and 3 exercises.
 
Good evening ladies!

Well, I just got home from work (9:30), shoveled some nuked din-din, but don't really have time to catch up on the goings on around here. We have a colicky horse that I may need to go check on again in a few hours and then we have to start getting ready for the show around 5:00am so it's going to be a very loooooooooooong weekend for me x(. Plus, DSO and I have plans for tomorrow night to celebrate our anniversary but, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure what kind of company I'm going to be by tomorrow night.

Anyway, long story short, (and I apologize for the whining) I probably will be MIA until Monday night but I'll be thinking of you guys, especially Wendy....GO CHEETAH!!!!!! I hope you have a great race tomorrow!

Anyhow, sleep tight ladies!
