:::CHEETAHS::: Wednesday

Good morning all my Cheetah friends. I can't believe I'm the first one here this morning.

I am bartending tonight, tomorrow night and Friday night - along with, of course, my full time job at the school. Makes for a LONG week and short nights. I'm going to have to find some energy somewhere. But, I guess when you own your own business somebody has to fill in where you need to and the boss usually does. :p ;-) It probably won't be so bad, there are birthday parties, softball teams coming in and karaoke on Friday night, so we'll be busy and make good tips. ;-) ;-) Saturday we have a birthday party, anniversary party and BBQ to go to after DH gets off work at 6PM.

For workouts, I'm going to continue to try and get up early to do them because after work I'll have to head right to the bar for work, so a later workout won't be in the cards I know that already. As long as I get something in with some ab work I'll be happy. I will try to get in as much of my rotation as I can, but it might be spaced out throughout the day.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Marcia.
 
Good morning, Marcia, and everyone else! :)

I've got Spreen's Absolute K'boxing on today's agenda but am enjoying a quiet, leisurely start to my day for now. Am toying with the idea of running up to the King of Prussia mall as I have decided I do not like the Ann Taylor dress I bought yesterday, after all, and will be returning it. *lol* What a project this is turning out to be! :) Anywho, if any of the RTers were interested in shopping at KOP, I'll hold off and save it for Friday or Saturday. I'll post the link once more in case anyone wants to check it out... http://kingofprussiamall.com/ It's considered the best mall in the Philly area...several big anchors...some high-end stores...and all the regular ones, too.

Marcia :: I know you're working hard, but hang in there with the rotation and stick to it as best as you can. GOTTA get us those results, girl!!!

Have a happy hump day!

Good Morning Cheetahs!

I was up early and did another one hour run!!!! I feel great!

My body is almost back to my regular workout schedule (before my vacation).

I am happy! I was in bed at 9PM reading my Harry Potter, and sleeping by 9:30. I was up at 5:30AM. Got that workout in!

Everyone have a wonderful day!

Happy working out!

Road Trippers - only a few days to go! (wish I could be there with you!) I cannot wait to see your pictures together with Cathe and Crew!!!!


Take care,
Amy

Good morning lovely cheetahs! I'm really draggin my feet.... it was a busy night but I'm almost through and then it's ROADTRIP time:7
I got in an interval run yesterday afternoon because I couldn't sleep past 2pm anyway. So I'll be sleeping hard tonight! Anyway, for today I'll be doing DM:7 :7 and later an easy 5 mile TM run.
Thursday will be TRAVEL day!!!!

No time for personals now but I'll try to check back in later.
Cathy- I've peeked at the weather forecast for your area on Friday and it doesn't look good..... so an indoor activity like mall shopping wouldn't be a bad idea.

later

Good morning Cheetahs!

Today will be another scorcher here too! I think I will be doing the P90X L&B, legs only. I'm going to start all over with my classic rotation on Monday though.

My DH called yesterday. I think he might be coming home on Saturday instead of Sunday. Thank goodness. With both kids getting up once or twice EACH per night and then the dog getting me up once every night, I'm pretty exhausted. Hopefully on Sunday I can take a nice long nap.

Well, enough about me. I hope everyone has a great day and keeps cool. I'll try to be back later.
 
Hey guys. I only have time to stop and say HI YA! Been busy with stuff. Younger DS' football started this week and with my being in charge of Older DS' baseball league....well, I've been busy!

Road Trip....I leave tomorrow! Can't wait to meet my fella Cheetahs. Please, for those of you going, please make sure you find me. My head will be spinning, I'm sure. But I REALLY want to meet you!

Later!

Gayle
 
Good morning cheetahs

Cathy...well I think watching a shirtless hottie play tennis would be quite enjoyable..:)..Although I started out Vegan, these days it is more Vegetarian as I occasionally have cheese and eggs. Which also makes dining out easier...but I think no matter where we have dinner Thursday night, it'll be fun just to meet up and chat...I feel for you on the dress issue. I HATE dresses, and always have trouble finding one, I am so much more a pants person. That mall looks great, but whatever we decide will be fine with me.

Marcia...sounds like a very busy weekend for you. At one time in my life I considered being a bartender. Just thought it could be fun...:)..but owning your own business can be tough.

Sunny...glad your PC is up and running. Problems there are not fun at all. Enjoy your classes today.

Amy...good job on the hour run!

Shelly...so as it might rain friday in NJ and we have access to Cathe's gym, maybe we should opt for a TM run instead of outside? Or if you still want to run outside. I am game and can bring some rainwear!

Gayle..don't worry, we will find you at the RT!!!

Kristi...that would be nice if your DH returned a day early. Have fun with P90X L&B.

Wendy...Good job with iTread yesterday. I am also so looking forward to meeting you and the other cheetahs and everyone else too! It is funny about the temps in Cali being 'cold' to us...just wait and watch us wilt in Jersey...:)

Jackie...yes it was nice finding some new workout things! Cute...could be a stretch!! BM2 was a fun workout. Sounds like a good cardio workout for you yesterday.

Susan...it has been a lot cooler here too. Very nice for August. Overhead triceps with a 20lber!!..wow!! Looks like we might be going to the mall friday!...:)

Judy...sounds like a rough few days for you. So sorry about your friend with cancer. Sending thoughts and prayers...and although I don't have kids I know from my sisters and close friends teenagers can be so trying. You will do what is right for your 16 yr old DD. Don't worry, we will take lots of RT pics!!

I am planning on a 5 mile interval run and BM2 upper body. Then packing and planning on leaving late this afternoon for the 2 hour or so drive to a hotel about 10 min from the Sac airport with my DH and Sadie. Plane leaves tomorrow around 6 AM!!! Can't wait to meet you cheetahs!!!

Have a great day and I will be back later to catch up before I go...:)

ETA...Shelly, which Hotel are we staying in?
 
Good morning!

Susan - It's nice to know someone is experiencing cooler temps. Always get some great DOMS from PUB.

Wendy - Great job with iTread #3!! Love having those workouts over and done early in the morning.

Judy - Sorry to hear about friend. Saying a prayer. Sorry DD is creating problems for you and herself. Hope she learns from her punishment.

Cathy - Did you have any great dress finds? Glad the wider butt made it through the Leaner Legs. :) OK, I see you didn't like your dress from yesterday. Hope today is better. Anxious to hear how you like Kimberley Spreen. I've been debating on buying that one.

Sunny - Glad you got your computer up and running. I haven't done the free iTrain workout. But, since you've put it on my mind, I may give it a whirl tomorrow. Hope you have some great classes today.

Amy - Great job with the run. Glad to hear your body has gotten back into the groove of things.

Shelly - You're doing DM and a 5 mile run today? All I can say is whew!! Enjoy.

Kristi - Glad DH is coming home so that you can get a break. Enjoy your workout.

Carole - Enjoy your workout today. Have a safe trip and have enough fun for all of us that won't get to go on the RT. Will miss all of you posting every day.

I did speed drills this morning. Got in 3.1 miles, did 6 minute abs, a 20 minute yoga and a little extra stretching with the foam roller.

All RT'ers have a safe trip. Have fun. Can't wait to see pics.

Jackie
 
Good morning ladies,
WHEW!!!! I am exhausted getting ready for this roadtrip. I am very excited,but I have really found it hard to pack. I am not taking anything to check and I have to fit everything in one bag. It has been a good experience for me though:)

I still have to go with my friend today for a round of chemo. I am so looking forward to the mental break this weekend.

I did the original Body max step portion yesterday and then the combos from KPC. My ITB is holding its own. I can do step pretty well now, but the kicking in kickbox is not great for it. But, I will be doing my best and having a big grin on my face the whole time.

Today, I will do Muscle Max.

Cathy, I would love to go to the mall on Friday or anything with my cheetah friends. Also, where do I meet you guys tomorrow?

Carole, we are staying at the Fairfield inn. See you tomorrow:)

Shelly, Can't wait to see you:)

Wendy, I will see you tomorrow too, YAY!!!

Hello to all the other cheetahs. Forgive me for being so quick, but I have to go to chemo and do a million other things before I go. I have to get up at 2:30 a.m. to catch my flight in San Francisco, YIKES!!!

I will be thinking of all you ladies on the trip and next time we ALL go!!!

Susan
 
As I read your lovely posts, it makes me want to meet you on this roadtrip!

Sorry I will miss you wonderful people!!!! :(

Sunny :: glad the comp is all better now :) … Am always interesting in new KB workouts, so I look forward to your review. Who puts it out?…That’s right – I forgot that you lived in Jersey for a time.

Amy :: great job getting back to your early morning workout routine. You're back in your groove! Will you be going in to school to do your classroom soon?

Shelly :: it sounds as though we won’t get the “cold front” until Friday night.

Susan :: are you still planning to take the Friday morning step class?

Kristi :: OMG ~ even the DOG’s getting you up once a night??? It might time to slip them all some Nyquil… ha ha!

Gayle :: how’s it going running the league?

Carole :: oh, you’re leaving early…do you have some layovers?

Jackie :: I purchased the Spreen workout a few months ago. I liked it a lot, but I’ve only done it once. I got into a groove of working on school stuff this morning, so I’ll be doing that one in the afternoon…Am going to return the dress today at a different mall. I still have a VS dress on order…You sure pack in a lot every morning before work!!

Hello again!

Cathy - I just have an office (reading teacher) so I won't have to set up too much. How about you?
Also - did you get that dress yet (sorry if I missed your answer before!!)??

Good luck!

Amy :: oh OK...so you're like a reading specialist doing one-on-one?...I have a couple of days of committee work coming up the week of the 20th, so one of those days, I will go in and try to get my room set up. I switched teams/classrooms this year, so I have a lot of unpacking, organizing, and decorating to do!

I did buy a dress at Ann Taylor yesterday, then decided later at home that I don't like it after all. *lol* I'd ordered the blue dress from VS, but they are moving warehouses, so I don't think I'll have it til the end of the month. In the meantime, I'm still looking. I should've thought of this sooner, really. I feel like I need to snap something up because all the fall stuff is out.

I quite agree with Amy. I would so love to spend some real face to face to time with the Cheetahs.

Thank you for the kind words regarding my post yesterday. You ladies feel like true friends.

DD is remorseful and wants to be a good kid. She just made a bad decision and DH and I have talked it over with her. Never the less, we will be keeping a bit stricter lifestyle to reinforce our point.

We are at a point where after being married for 24 years, and getting through the baby and young childhood stages,we like to go out every Friday night. This may not be the best situation for our teenagers. I am against them having friends over in our absence or going to friends houses when their parents are not home. So there will have to be some cooperating on both ends.

Any way yesterday I did DM cardio and UB premix & abs only from B&G, thanks who ever mentioned it! I love doing cardio on the new wood floor. It is a world apart from doing it on carpet over cement or puzzle mats over cement! DH is pretty private so I'm not sure he will agree with posting pictures of our work out room. If I can get him to agree I'll post some pictures.

Today was a 3 mile run and major yard work!

Cathy,
I am now wondering if I should just wait and meet Cathe when everyone else does. I may just read my book in the morning and wait for you runners to come back and then go on our outing. I am also not sure if there is transportation to the gym on Friday and transportation back. Any which way, it will be a great day.:)

Amy, I wish I could meet you as well:)


Susan
 
Oh! I also meant to reply to Judy (sorry I am posting so many times here!).

Judy - oh those teenager years. I remember them so well (when I went through them - but I was pretty good and my parents should be thankful for this!!). I am sure we all tried things when we were that age (like when parents go out and teenagers want their friends over!!!).

I am glad to hear that things are getting better. They do try to test ya, but it sounds like you have a good hold on everything!

As I look at your picture - you look like such a fabulous young mother! I cannot believe you have a teenager! Wow! Hot stuff girl! ha ha!


Susan - I think it is so nice of you to take your friend to chemo. What a scary thing. I pray for her. I also pray for you - because you are going through this too.
