Good morning ladies,

I was to excused to check in yesterday. I didn’t sleep much at my sister’s house, LOL! We had so much fun in Nuernberg. I didn’t get a workout in Saturday or Sunday, but we walked over 6 miles on Saturday to and from the fest. I count that as a workout. The weather was perfect Saturday evening, very hot! Music bands were playing everywhere town down Nuernberg. This was my first time going to that fest (I am from Nuernberg, what a shame!) , DH and I really enjoyed it. We definatly will go next year. They had food/drinks on every corner. It was my cheat day! LOL!

Today is M1D7 for me!

I will be back after my workout!

Take care,
 
Morning,

I am done with Disc 7 (chest, shoulders, biceps) Plus Ab Circuits “Medicine Ball Abs":D Had a great workout, my UB is on fire:eek:

I will be back later!

Have a great Monday, everyone!

 
Good Morning!

I am up early to go for a run with my running partner b/c I have to go watch DD play soccer at 10....I need to be outta here by 8 and back by 9:30.

I had a pretty good b-day yesterday even though I worked all day. Im not sure where I placed in the race, I know i was the 3rd women to cross the finish line. Im not sure where the other two women came from but they weren't from around here! LOL As soon as the race was over I left b/c I had to get ready for work. I was pretty tired and then my ipod was dead. I can't imagine my friends though b/c they were out reallllly late, drinking and then had Mcd's on the way home! One of my friends had 13 beer, 4 coolers and a big mac combo! LOL

DH gave me a really nice framed picture of that tough race I did last fall. My medal was also in the frame and an engraving of my time and placing:) It was very nice! He also has a watch for me (its not here yet) that you wear when you are running. It tells you distance travelled...speed...HR...I think it will be pretty cool.

Belinda** Sounds like you had an awesome day with your sister!

Ameila** Oh, so the water wasn't gone competely like the last time? The neighbours just used to much? Thats not quit as bad then. I know its still a pain but atleast you didn't have to wait days like the last time. When we were out the other night, my neighbour across the st was out and she confronted me on complaining about her front lawn! Give me a break! When you build a house around here your suppose to have your front lawn done in the same yr. They just spread out topsoil and now they have lawn full of weeds. So everyone elses house on the st is nice and clean. While their driveway isn't paved (optional) and their lawn is up to your hips with weeds! It is ridiculous but I don't know why she would think that I told on complained. They have had 3 complaints from the town. I told her " if you think I have time to go to the town hall and complain about your lawn, your nuts" I don't know if she beleived me or not. I don't really care either. Between her and my coworker I felt like I was defending myself alnight.

Trish** I wouldn't have been able to run the race if I were drinking! LOL I could barely get out of bed as it was! I bet your glad the rat race for DD's party is over! I remember when parties were just hotdogs, sandwiches and cookies in the yard. Cost mom about $30! Not anymore!

I may bbl! Its a pretty busy day here today b/c the town is closed for festivities. Partying should come to an end after this (lets hope!)

Lori:)
 
Hi girls,

back with personals!

Lori how is your son feeling today? Sorry, to hear about your son being sick again. Good thing, you brought him to the ER right away. Congrats on your weight loss, that is fantastic! Glad you still got all your workouts in this weekend. It was a city fest, with lots of different music. It was so crowded, but fun. I didn’t drink anything except water, I was going to but it was to hot to drink alcohol. I did had an Italian ice cream at midnight, lol! To cool off, of course! LOL! Sounds like you partied hard this weekend, lol! Glad you had fun. What a shame about your co worker, did he you and apologize?

Debbie & Cookie, I am sure you guys had so much fun this weekend. I want details! LOL! How are your glutes! Cathe is working you out. Sounds like you had lots of fun. Whatever Cathe’s brings out, will be good. Glad you liked her yoga class. Thanks for the update.

Gianna how was your weekend?

Amelia you had nachos? LOL! You wouldn’t believe what I had; I had something not so clean this weekend, lol! Oh, I almost forgot the Italian ice cream, yummy. Today I am back on track! Glad your water is back on! Glad you enjoyed your rest day yesterday.

Trish glad you found a dress for your DD. I am glad your DD's musical and bday party are both over. Now you can relax! Glad you liked the yoga dvd. Can’t wait what you think about the other?

I will be back for more personals!:eek:
 
Good morning girls,

Quick check-in going to the gym this morning to spin but taking the day off:):):) Be back later with personals and will tell about the weekend and hopefully get some pictures up.

Lori - HAPPY BIRTHDAY so are you even 30 yet;)

Enjoy your workouts . . . BBL:)
 
Morning

Belinda-man,that festival does sound fun!!! Im glad you and your DH had a good time!

Lori-The nerve of your neighbor, What a nutjob:eek: I was actually out of water completely for about 12hours:confused:. HAPPY BIRTHDAY wonderwomen:)

Debbie-Glad you made it home safely! Can't wait to hear about your weekend and see pics!

Hey to Trish,Cookie,Iris and Gianna!

Conffesion Time
Today ive got some damage control to do from last night! I had two bowls of cereal late last night and i woke up feeling terrible bout it:(. My day yesterday was good for the most part...but DH got home from work around 6pm and he pulled a muscle in his lower back,poor thing, so i went looking for the heating pad & ice pack. Between nursing him and being a referee with my kids(they fought all afternoon:confused: ) i was ready to scream come about 10pm.:mad: So no wonder i dove into 2 bowls of chocolate marshmallow matey's.... I should of wrote im my 'emotinal diary' instead,afterall,thats what its there for:rolleyes:.

So,with that said...im on week 2 of my rotation, doing all UB from powerhour then i will hop on the treadmill for CCV3.

OMG..I almost forgot. After my rotation im seriously thinking about doing P90X:eek::eek::eek::eek: Ive got three weeks to think about it....any thoughts on the program? Lori,you have done it before..what did you think about it?
 
Debbie, glad you safe at home! I can't wait to see some pic:p

Hi and Welcome, Ruth! Glad you and Debbie had an awesome time at the RT!

Lori, hope you have fun today, b-day girl:eek:

Trish, are you still relaxing!

Iris, we miss you!
 
Afternoon Ladies,

Had a fitful sleep last night, but surprisingly woke up with decent energy. Not sure what was occupying my mind, but shortly after going to bed @ 10:30 I was back up @ 1:00 and then slept on and off all night. This morning's wo was CC7. I stopped at 8 miles during the cool down, burning 582 cals in 62 mins. Also have great DOMs from D13 wo yesterday:) Can't wait to get started on legs tomorrow:eek:. I think Meso 2 might be my favorite mesocycle.

Belinda - Good for you out partying with your sister:) Glad you had such a nice time! Not sure when I will get a chance to try Jari Love's DVD since I'm doing STS, but I watched the whole thing and think she has an interesting approach. Not as hardcore as Cathe, but looks like it will still work up a burn. Will let you know though;)

Lori - Happy Birthday:) Are you telling me you're not even 30 yet??? No wonder you've got so much party stamina;) What's with all these ladies giving you grief??? You are becoming a b*tch magnet:p Great job on your run!

Amelia - Don't beat yourself up over your cereal...you eat pretty clean most of the time so this little slip up isn't so bad:) There's a guy in my office who's doing P90x. He was already skinny as a rail, but now he's starting to show more definition. He loves it. Enjoy your wo today.

Deb - Can't wait to see the pics and hear all the details:)

Hi to Cookie and Iris:D
 
Trish, WOW, on your 8 milers! That is fantatic, girl! One day, I will run 8 miles:D:p I forgot you doing STS, where is my head? How do you like STS so far? Any changes?
 
Hey Belinda, I think this was the first time I did 8 miles:) Of course, immediately afterwards in my head I said "I wanna do 9" so I have a new goal set...we'll see how long it will take me to get there. I'm loving STS this time around. I dropped the weights from my calculated 1RMs and have been doing really well. It's heavier than I had been lifting but not as high as 1RM suggested. I figure the second time through I might get closer to the 1RM. How are you liking it the second time around? I also am thinking about ordering macro weight gloves. Running to a mtg. bbl.
 
Trish, congratulation! That was your first time running a 8 miler, that is awesome. I also had to lower my weights on the 21's, feels much better this week. Nothing wrong lowering your weights, you don't won't to hurt yourself, right? I do love STS! I can't believe I am already in week 3! I am almost done with Meso 1! The macro weight gloves are great, I use mine for KB and lifting. I think I do have them at Wal Mart online! Have fun at your mgt.
 
Right! After all of my injuries I am much more cautious with my wos and my form. Once I start to lose the form, that's it for me. Do you have Cathe's weight gloves or another brand? I think QVC is carrying hers.
 
Hello All

Felt pretty bad about my over-indulging this past weekend...fine wine & delicious not-so-clean eats. No time for a guilt session.....what would that accomplish? Instead, Back in Action with STS Disc 8 &Back&Triceps followed by STS No Equipment Abs. Feeling much better. Tough eating clean when you're a foodie & married to one as well.....

Belinda - The festival in Nuernberg sounds like a great way to spend a cheat day. Glad you enjoyed it. Tonight I go to an info session on the 3 mth German exchange..... : )

Lori - Happy Birthday! Congrats on your success on race day. You will LOVE the HR watch, having that info detail is very motivating. What a great gift......"well done" to the DH.

Amelia - Forget about the cereal episode, it's now in the past. New Day and moving 4ward with Cathe, what could be more motivating than a workout with her!

To those so fortunate to have met Cathe & workout with her in person.........PLEASE SHARE.
