Good Morning

Its been raining here, off and on, for about a week now. The rain was real heavy overnight....we live on a lake and the shoreline is about 15ft from us and there is more rain to come...

We will have to evacuate if it gets too close. The school is closed today too...there are too many roads washed away. Im a little worried, couldn't really sleep last night.

I will keep you guys updated.

My rotation today calls for a rest day. But I will get in a CC on the treadmill after DH wakes up this afternoon.

My higher calorie day yesterday was good...i had REALLY bad cravings last night. But i MADE myself chew gum because i knew they would eventually pass

Belinda, keep us updated....i hope everything is ok.

I will bbl with some personals...

Morning,
I'll have to catch up later on personals. Going to be a bit crazy around here until we leave for vaca on Friday.

Amelia: That does sound like a worry. I hope that the rain stops soon. Keep us posted. Take care and a good CC, it will make you feel better even for a little bit.

Did LIC yesterday, but wasn't really into it and didn't do half of the pushups at the end, or the abs and no bonus cardio for me. Oh well. It's not my favorite, I should have put another tape in.

Gotta go to work.

Good Morning Ladies

Today I think I will do on of the workouts from Hardcore Extreme....not sure which one..... I just got the dvd last week on Ebay. Now besides STS and CTX, my Cathe library is almost full. I will try a few personals again, and hopefully I wont' lose them again.

Amelia- Have a great run today. Where do you live, again? You're sure getting pounded with rain.......keep us posted.

Helened- You've had so much going on, I bet you're counting the minutes until Florida! Hope you have a better workout today.....

Ok I'll BBL

Good morning girls,

Missed posting and working out yesterday We went to by DH's good friends lake house it was so relaxing.

Last minute we decided to go to South Beach & Clearwater beach, FL in 3 weeks w/o the boys I decided to put STS on hold and do a 3 mo. rotation when STS cardio comes out. Today I'm going to do a total body weight workout at the gym.

Belinda - Thinking about you and hoping all is well.

Amelia - I hope the rain stops Sending good vibes your way. Do you need to keep all your stuff off of the floor? I was wondering when we were at the lake house what would happen if it rained too much.

Helene - Something's better then nothing

Iris - Drives me crazy when I lose a post.

Lori - Is the Garmin watch have GPS on it?

Cookie - Sorry to hear about your shoulder acting up. DH has been complaining about his shoulder too

Trish - How's spinning going?

BBL, Have a great day everyone!

Howdy girls!

It feels like forever since we've chatted I didn't do any workouts over the weekend. On saturday, I needed all of my energy to run the little ones around and then on Sunday morning I woke up with a pulled muscle(?) in my upper back. We took the girls apple picking with my bff's family and then went out for dinner where I proceeded to have yet another yummy cheat meal Today's wo was CCV7 where I burned off a fraction of that cheat meal (456 cals)! So, 19YO DD decided she wants to do a 30-day pilates marathon. There's some socialite who does pilates and has a killer bod that she wants and is convinced she can get it in 30 days...tonight is day one....any takers on how many days she will actually last?

Amelia - What'd I miss?? Where is Belinda? I looked at yesterday's post and noticed that she hasn't checked in. I hope all is well. Great job on MM yesterday, btw. I hope the rain is letting up for you guys...my fingers are crossed.

Helene - Yay, you're going on vacay!! I'm counting down the days (really months) before we leave for vacay. LIC is one of my favs, sorry you don't like it. I'm sure you'll make up for it tomorrow.

Iris - Let me know how you like HE. I own it, but have never tried it.

Deb - Ooooh, hanging out a lake house does sounds very relaxing! I haven't returned to the spinning class yet...too concerned about my knees, but may give it a go again next week. I'm trying a Total Body Sculpt class tomorrow. Hopefully, it will give me a good wo. Nice, a trip with just you and DH...We haven't had one of those in 7 years

Cookie - Sorry to hear your shoulder is still bothering you. Are you considering seeing a specialist? For sleeping, my PT recommended that I lay on the side that is not hurting and hug a pillow which helps to keep the shoulder elevated. When sleeping on the bad shoulder side, scoot the shoulder forward so that you're laying less on the shoulder and more on your back (I also hug the pillow in this position). You can imagine how cramped our bed is with me hugging a pillow and shoving a pillow between my knees. DH is practically pushed out the bed!

Enjoy the rest of your day ladies.

Hey Girls!

Late check in for me. I never get here in the a.m if DS is up before I am and as already punched an hour or two

My flight last night was delayed until 3:30...the worst time (if you ask me). So I went to bed for a couple of hours and the phone rang at 1:52 (to be exact) and there was another flight on the ground We had no clue it was coming. Anyway, the only good thing about getting woke up like that you really dont have anytime to think about how warm and cozy your bed is. Its just get up and go as fast as you can. So I slept from 11-2 and 4:15-8:30

I did get a workout in yesterday evening but it totally wiped me out.I think it was partly b/c I didn't have any water up to that point..just coffee...which is not like me at all. So I did the 1st Insanity dvd. I guess it was the plyometrics one and today ( I know Im nuts) I did the 2nd dvd cardio and resistance (?) MM AND at 3 my running partner and I decided to run ours butts off for 10 km. Im soooo gonna sleep tonight!

Its been a weird weekend here. DH had to fire one of his employees today b/c he was stealing. He as been working there for over 2 yrs and always been reliable but you could never pay him enough. He wanted to make $15 /hr at a sporting goods store with no education? So whenever they would give him a raise, he was only happy for so long. I guess he decided to take matters into his own hands and make some extra cash on the side. The last I heard he was even selling hockey sticks on ebay. Can you imagine???? I think once they find out how much he actually stole (if they ever will) the law should be involved. Give him what he deserves...if he thought he was intitled to something...then thats it!

I will bbl for personals...dinner is ready!

Back again, can't beleive no one else as checked in

Ameila** I hope everything is fine with the water levels! Water freaks me out a bit as well (as you know) so I understand how you feel. Good job sticking that gum in your mouth! Im sooo in the mood for something tonight but there is nothing here. There are chips but I don't want that, I want candy or something!

Deb** How lucky! Another vaca with no kids. How long are you going for? We are thinking about going to Cuba next yr on a couples trip. It will be hard to leave DS home but I think we are in need of a break.

Helene** When are you leaving??

Iris** What workout did you decide to do?

Trish** You sound like me when I wonder how long DH will be working out for. It usually only last 3 days at the most.

Belinda** Hope everything is o.k!

I will bb in the a.m. Another Insanity workout tomorrow. I can't see how these workouts will interfer with my running, if anything they should make me faster!

'Evening!
Amelia, I'm sorry - didn't realize you were so close to all that rain. Schools and roads closed is quite serious. Hope you and yours are okay.
Lori, wonder what the guy was doing with the money? That some workouts you had today. You'll surely sleep well.
Deb, a vac in S Beach sounds great - and no children! As my DD would say ooolala!
Iris, did you do a HE wo? I really like them and the Terminator ones. Actually, now you're making me think of doing the Gauntlet tomorrow. If I get up early enough think I will. Need to work off a choc bar I ate today. The whole entire thing, and it was 88% bitter choc so you know it was just stress eating.
Helene, only a few more days. Things always get hectic before leaving, don't they?
Trish, are you doing the pilates marathon also? It would probably do wonders for my abs, but not sure I believe it is all you need to do. Let me know after your DD has her transformation.
Belinda, hope all is well.
Did KPC today without abs, since did them yesterday. Was supposed to do a circuit tomorrow. Perhaps since Iris has inspired me - Gauntlet.
