Good moring ladies,

I will do a cardio workout and abs today:D

I will be back to report my workout and for personals!

Have a great weekend.
 
Good Morning!!!!

Well....I feel much better today then I did yesterday morning! Although, I wasn't up this early but I wouldn't have felt good anyway...LOL, I would have only had 2 hrs of sleep!:confused:

I had a pretty good night last night. My SIL took DS to my MIL's for supper so I didn't have anyone under my feet. I tried to take a nap but that didn't work. I got back up and did STS disc 26 and 27. Good workouts but there were a few moves in legs that I didn't like. I hated those squat turn things....they kinda made me feel dizzy. I have some DOMS in my bum today though....nice!

So I am up early to get my 12 kms run in before work...thats what the training schedule calls for. I won't be following each day as suggested b/c most days the runs are only 5-6 kms long...as you know me...Im not going to follow that!

Belinda** Im guessing that you didn't wake up with another sinus headache? There is nothing worse then waking up with a headache. I started running before I had DS, then stopped, then started again, then stopped and started up again in '98 or '99 after meeting DH and putting on some weight. I wanted to get it off, couldn't really afford a gym membership at the time..(poor student and mother) but I could afford a pair of running shoes. I started out slow, 5 kms, then moved up to 8 km, 10 kms, (stayed there for a while) then off to 14 kms and now 16 - 18 kms.

Helene** I HATE the 45 degree lunges in STS! Im not sure what they work but I don't like them! :rolleyes:

Trish** Glad to hear your MIL is home! I love cats but DH is allergic. I always thought (when I was a kid of course) that I was going to have my house full of animals. Everything seems easier when your 10, doesn't it! ?:eek: We aren't hiring anyone to place the girl that just left. Its not busy enough and I just got the crappy end of the stick Fri night, its usually not that bad.

Cookie** Im not even sure if DS slows me down....but he makes me sleep better!!! LOL

I did some shopping online yesterday as well:p I ordered 2 new pairs of American Eagle jeans for moi, then 4 shirts for moi and 2 abmercrombie and fitch sweaters for DD and I. I spent well over $400...but who is counting, right?:rolleyes:

I was going to do a cc, then thought about running outside b/c Bill isn't here yet:mad: (our weather isn't suppose to be nice today) but I haven't used the washroom so I have a feeling running on the TM and staying close to a tolit may be a wise idea.

I will bbl to report!

Lori:)
 
Good morning Lori and all who follows,

Glad you got more rest last night. Great job knocking out disc 26 and 27 yesterday. WTG on the doms. My goal is to ran a race after my second sinus surgery, I am afraid to train for one now and have to stop again. You have been running a long time. I do love the idea just putting on a pair of running shoes and go. No need for a gym. I do like to get a TM one day, once we move back to the US. I really enjoy running outside, hope I can keep up in the winter (did it before!). I have a little headache today, not as bad as yesterday.

DH and I just got back from a 4.5 miles + 5.5 miles bike ride. I am super fried. I think I burned the huge piece of cake off, don’t you think? LOL! I burned 900 cal. I still have to work my abs will do that tonight; I am too tired right now.

Have a great Sunday. I will be back!
 
Good Morning Ladies :confused:

Today is supposed to be GS Legs (and tomorrow upper body), but I'm going to the track again today and I'm so wiped out from the week I just want to sit and relax before I leave. I think I will def. try and workout tonight when I get home, even if I do something besides legs (like upper body) and do Legs tomorrow. It's just that I haven't been smoking, I've been working my a$$ off, I eat random bad things throughout the day at work when I can because we work so damn hard *even though I"m sure we work it off*, and I"m so bloated on top of it from you know what that I can't stand it! And it's humid * okay I think I"m done *......a few weeks ago I was very depressed, now I'm just pissy.....LOL

Belinda- Wow! Wtg on those 900 cals!

Lori- Have a great run today!

Helened- I laughed at your comment about the 45 degree lunging....that it's like elephants lunging...lol I'm trying to picture that....it doesn't seem like a fun exercise! I go dancing every friday for the most part...at a country bar up in Malta.

Trish- I'm so glad your MIL is out of the hospital and that she's up and about. That is one more thing my mom will eventually have to go through. I am somewhat functioning with no nicotine.....:mad: LOL

Cookie- I'm done with this weather......I left a message with Steve Caparizzo and told him to get his you know what together....lol And no my mom didn't dance, not yet but maybe in another month or so after she gets clearance to go back to work. (She works for EG schools). You know, I don't even know when the kids go back to school..it's late this year isn't it?

BBL tonight...maybe I'll win some races today.....hehe
 
Hey Gals!:)

What a muggy day outside!:confused: I did my run outdoors and was soooo wet when I was done! I think I covered the 12 km I was suppose to do today. Along with the training I am going to try and eat better. Not that my eatinf bad but I am going to try and eat more often, good carbs and lots of H2O! Im eating a bagel right now with peanut butter and its sticking to my mouth:eek:

Belinda** Yepper...I think you worked off that peice of cake! Hmmmmmmm....cake:p Yum! My favorite food group!:eek: Have fun with abs tonight! Do you know when your surgery is going to be for your sinuses? I hope you don't end up going through what you went through last yr before you get in and get it fixed.

Iris** Im not sure what is worse, being depressed or pissy! When I am pissy I could chew the face of the first person I see but when I am depressed, Im just a whiny loser! I hate feeling bloated. I get like that about a week before my period starts...no fun!!! Keep up the good work with those cigs though! You will feel better when you have conquered that!

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Morning

Belinda-FANTASTIC calorie burn this morning:eek: I was just telling DH how i wished we could afford to get us some bikes and ride. There is a very long bike trial not too far from us that goes through ga right into alabama...think its called the comet trail. LOL at you yesterday...i completely agree with you on my MIL being nosey:rolleyes: and she use to live next door to me:confused: ack!!!!

Lori-High fives on your purchases...just love new stuff:D. Your workouts last night ROCKED girl Great job on your run today too!

Iris-LOL on being pissy...i know that feeling all too well:rolleyes:. Enjoy your ub workout tonight. Congrats your smokeless days girl..your doing so great:)! I hope you will get a day off soon?

Helened- How is your DOMS this morning? Im still walking like a duck:rolleyes: I have issue's with my calves cramping up too...specially during lunges,ugh.

Cookie-I will check out that book you recommended, im all ears if its got recipes,lol.

Trish-So glad to hear you MIL is doing good. Great job on your workout yesterday. Ive heard the same thing about abb ripper X...ive previewed and im sure i will be nice and toasty afterwards. this is my first time doing p90x..

Debbie-how you doing today?

Hey to Maudite...how have you been?

I hope i didn't miss anyone? Today is my rest day. Im still sore from legs on friday.

Tomorrow starts P90X for me. I will weigh in the morning, DH will take my before and after pics(in my bathing suit:eek:) & my measurements when he gets home this evening.(should of done that yesterday morning) I never did get a pull-up bar friday so i will have to get one this friday coming up(just couldn't afford it this week,ugh) AND my food scale broke, so im going to have to eye my portions this week....plan on picking a new one up friday as well.

BBL:)
 
Ameila** You are starting P90X in the a.m!!!?? Woo Hoo! You must be excited to try something a little different.

I am sooo annoyed now. I just want to be left alone but again the guy I am working with keeps popping in and I really don't have time for small chit chat. Plus I think he is half deaf cause I have to repeat everything I say and then whatever it is I say...he doesn't understand!!! Im not kidding, he isn't very bright and it drives me to have a conversation with him. Im no brainiac but I do have common sense!

Lori:)
 
Hi girls,

Cookie, I don’t know? I know every time the weather changes, my sinus is acting up. Weird! I also think it had a little to do with the AC running the entire time we drove home from K-town. Sounds like you having a lot of humidity too, that makes it hard to work out.

Trish, I am so happy your MIL was released from the hospital. Glad you got to relax a little too, family is stressful. LOL! So you have a kitten? WTG on D 20/DOMS yesterday. DH and I went to a military event, in 102 heat. I felt like passing out. A lot of soldiers passed out during the ceremony. That ceremony went on and on. In the evening DH took me to Chilies (we do have on in Ramstein on the Air Force Base), that was nice. I got my meal for free, lol. I ordered a veggie burger without Ranch dressing; they got me one with Ranch on it. I told them, I don’t like Ranch (to many cal!). the waiter told me since I had to wait so long for my meal (I wasn’t really hungry), it was free! I thought that was nice. We also went shopping in the new Mall on the Air Force Base, that mall is so nice and huge. I didn’t buy anything. I had a lot of fun with DH. How did your weight in go?

Iris, sorry you are feeling pissy, hope this will pass. (((HUGS)))I am so proud of you for not smoking. You are doing great, girl. Hope you get your workout in tonight.

Lori, I think I worked that piece of cake off today. WTG on your run today. Hope you getting better weather. I had surgery this year in April, not to long ago. I will finish STS, then I will get my second surgery. Awww, on your co-worker being so annoying,hope he leaves you along.

Amelia, riding a bike is fun. My bike isn’t a fancy one, like my DH’s. He has a cross bike. My bike is close to 20 years old, still looks good. LOL! I couldn’t have my MIL living that close, no way. LOL! She sounds like a busy body, lol.



 
Hey everybody,

Belinda- That is hot weather you are having. I didn't know it got that hot in Germany. How long have you been there with your DH and how long do you think you will be there? I remember once taking a lond bike ride through the German countryside when I was a teenager on an exchange between schools. It almost killed me, I remember it being more than 40kms and I come from a town in the mountains in France so I never went biking much. Glad to hear that you had a mall to go to.....your DH must have been happy you came out empty handed.

Iris- So awesome that you are still staying away from the cigs. Have fun at the tracks today. And I do hope you win, I am sure that would lift your spirits. By the way, I have a feeling you didn't get that phone call in to the weather guy....I would appreciate if you could get around to it in your spare time.:p

Trish- glad to hear that your MIL is doing better. You're a great DIL taking care of her this well. I hope she appreciates it and you guys get along. I hear you on the weigh-in. I weighed-in but put in yesterday morning's number :eek:. I ate some salty stuff last night and didn't want to know what it said this morning while I liked what it said yesterday.

Amelia- Have fun with P90X. I was so excited when I got STS to start, it's helped me kick my workouts into high gear again which I hadn't done for a while (I was doing a lot more yoga though). Now I have DOMs to match yours, especially in the glutes. But now my calf cramped up really bad :mad: after interval 8 of Imax 3. oh well. I hope you can find a pull-up bar you like. I got one, but still haven't mounted it in a doorway. I'm hesitant to do that.

Lori- LOL on the 45 degree lunges. I am glad I am not the only one who doesn't get it. They are so awkward for me that I don't know which muscles are supposed to be working. I might actually substitute straight forward lunges when I see these again. Amazing running you have. What is the race you are training for? Sorry about your coworker, I guess you haven't figured out a look that will make him run away or make him think to avoid you 'cause it might just be TTOTM?:eek: I hope Bill doesn't soak you too much in the next couple of days so you can keep running outside.

Cookie- that wasn't me at B&N :D After your mention of yogafit, I put a few of their DVDs in the netflix cue. I love yoga and trying new forms. Not sure how I will fit it in my schedule with the STS rotation and the yoga I already do though. And like I don't have enough yoga DVDs at home......

Allright. Today isn't the greatest weather again. DH took the kids to a bouncy bounce. Always good to have them spend some energy. I went to spend my own energy on Imax3. I haven't done that one much so I had to rewind to figure out the steps a few times. And then after interval 8, my calf just cramped up again so I had to stop which was too bad. Still got a 500 calorie burn out of it so that was good.

'Evening!
Belinda, sounds like a rough day yesterday, but what a calorie scorcher today! What kind of hrm do you have? I want one that says 900. Oh, guess I'd have to do it to have it say that, though. How are the sinuses today?
Iris, sometimes it just feels right to be pissy, don't you think? How was the track today? Did you get a wo in? That usually helps my moods. I did a training on Th/Fri this week and a lot of EG teachers were there. Small world, huh?
Amelia, just a few more hours to go! Isn't it so exciting to start something new? Glad your DH helps out. What the heck are you doing to be breaking so many things?!!!
Lori, I really didn't think anything slowed you down. When does your dd start back to school. I need some new clothes, but not happening this week. Spent too much on other things.
Trish, glad your mil is home now. Does she live near you? Hope one of my sons gives me such a great dil. So what are the names of the new kittens? Are your dd playing with them a lot? One of my sisters used to dress her cat up.
Helen, did the bouncy bounce use up the darlings' energy? I always have more wo that I want to do than I have time for. If only I didn't have to work to support this habit, I'd have more time to wo!
Maudite and Gianna, hope all is well.
We took my eldest son and his fiance out shopping this afternoon for more things for the wedding and then out to eat. Then briefly visited another son before just stopping by a furniture store to browse. Guess what? Got a king-size bed and new nightstands!!! I'm so excited by it and the new mattress. Can't wait for delivery on Wednesday 'cause I am finally gonna be able to sleep. Of course, it won't take care of DH's snoring, but I'm hoping it wil help. Just ordered some bedding. So, I did a huge patriotic boost of the US economy.
Did Viper and Yoga Abs this morning. Have a bosu wo planned for the am before oral surgery(!), and then a visit with my dad, driving DD around, and try to squeeze housework and office work in. Plus now I have to completely rearrange my bedroom.
