So yesterday I finally got the nerve up to ask DH about going to Ottawa...and of course he didn't care. There were a few other obstacles standing in my way though. Such as work Its my weekend to work but the weekend before that is when everyone goes camping...I don't think it will be hard to switch. And if it comes down to it, I can be a complete *itch and put in for holidays...can't refuse that one. One of my coworkers thinks that she has something on the go one night that weekend and the other girl is still in FL. I'm sure between the two of them we can figure this out. So I went ahead and registered anyway.

Of course I had to go for a long run yesterday. I did 16.5k. I am still gonna have to try a little longer yet. Two 20k runs would make me happy before we go. DH told me to budget to see how much it would cost, including spending money. What he meant by spending money was lululemon....LOL....He knows there is one in the mall!

I'm not sure what my workout is gonna be today. I will probably do hills and intervals in the TM and weights of some sort. My running partner is coming over for a coffee and I have training at 12. The rest of the day I am a free women.

Scale is FINALLY moving...not enough though cause it can easily go back up...LOL

Melissa** You had some good workouts this weekend. So you are a wine guzzler to? The girl we went on vaca with loves wine! Her teeth were purple most of the time.

Ameila** I never did the preorder thing before. I just usually wait so I can waste more money, that's me

Cookie** Sounds like you had a busy day yesterday. Im not into blood and guts either. We rarely watch movies anymore. I guess it doesn't help that I fall asleep with DS every single night.

Deb** One of the reasons we are considering selling the jeep is b/c of the price of gas. Both of our vehicles are tough on gas and we are paying way to much in payments. My jeep takes me back and forth to work...and for $600/m? So we are looking at a little car that will be alot easier on gas and the payments will be 1/2 of that.

O.k...DS is still asleep, not sure what is up with that. Im gonna go downstairs, look at my workouts and see what I can come up with for a rotation.

Good morning! Today I will do STS disc 31 and some kind of leg work, maybe something from MM? I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left of STS My brother wants to try it but he is skeptical because he's only seeing reviews from women about it. I said what's the worst that could happen, you try it and you either like it or you don't! He is just stubborn

I also finally got to change my closets over yesterday! I have a lot of cute summer dresses I forgot I even owned and I can't wait to wear them. Good thing is, my shorts fit better than they did at the end of the season last year; bad thing is, they still don't fit as well as I'd like them to! UGH!

Amelia, your workouts are rockin! You go girl!! MIC has a huge dread factor for me too, but it's actually not bad after doing HIIT and CCC I can make it through the WO now without stopping.

Cookie, lol I like that saying! Angels and Demons was pretty gory. Did you read the book?

Deb, yes on Bin Laden!!! My bro woke me up at 12:30AM to tell me lol. I hear ya on the hair color. I was thinking of buying OTC stuff too with the price of gas and whatnot. I'm just scared to try it and screw up my hair! Nope, still no word from the dude Whatever, I have written him off. I just don't understand it. My mom asked me about it at dinner the other night and my dad's like "Maybe he's shy." I said at 35 you shouldn't be too shy to ask a girl out!!! I'm thinking maybe he is seeing someone else? Who knows!

Lori, ooooh so you're going to Ottawa! Yay! Have fun LMAO I hate the purple teeth syndrome. But I do love my wine

Belinda, how is the move going?

Helene, hope you are having fun!!

Trish, what are you up to this week?

Kristin, how was the weekend? Do you have a countdown going until the end of school?

Morning ladies,

I think I'm back on track. Lost all of my vacay weight and then some (did I mention I gained 4lbs while at my mom's). I feel like my weekends through the end of the school year are going to be busy, busy, busy. I'm so looking forward to the girl's dance recital at the end of June...I'll finally have my Saturdays back...sort of anyway. I'll still have to find some way to keep us entertained My wo yesterday was STS D16 & D18 and today was D17. Still doing my own thing for now. I also bought new 25# dumbbells over the weekend. Now I can set my adjustable ones to 30#

Lori - You and that Lulu...too funny! I am taking a day off on Wednesday. Maybe I will be brave and go to the mall to check it out! Either way, I definitely am getting some new gear before RT. So, I'm sure I missed the date of the Ottawa race. How long do you have before you go?

Melissa - LOL about the shorts! I have a pair that I'm hoping I can get into this summer. It was not happening last summer. Your dad is cute on the "shy" bit, but I agree with you...MAN UP!! I dragged my feet on pre-ordering, but I'm doing it today. Really hate to get the DVDs, but I'm a sucker for the pre-mixes. Allegedly, at some point in the future, all of the premixes will be available in WB...I'll believe it when I see it.

Kristin - Nice job on increasting your weights wtih ME yestserday. Any good DOMs today? I upped mine this morning and I think I am going to be feeling it tomorrow.

Cookie - Yup, I'm pre-ordering. Low impact is right up my alley! Loved Angels and Demons. I'm a big blood and gore kind-of-girl!

Deb - Say it isn't so on the gas!!! $6?? In the northeast?? I need a bike! ^5 on staying in all weekend. AWESOME!

Iris - Whatcha up to these days?

hallo (as Belinda would say )

I just finished a 49min dog walk out in this beautiful ga weather. I have to work tonight but im off tomorrow and I can't wait to be off. My sons b-day party is tomorrow, I've already ordered him a Harely Davidson cake...LOL, i figured he would want a transformer or spiderman but nope, he wanted a motorcylce cake with orange flames on it Guess hes 6 going on 16

anyways...Tomorrow im going to pre-order

Trish-High fives on the weight loss! I need to pick up another 20lb db then buy some 25's. Its amazing how much easier it makes the workouts when you can just grab and go instead of fiddling with weight plates. WTG on your purchase.

Melissa-Yay on finding 'new' clothes in your closet...anything that prevents a shopping trip is a plus in my book ( kinda, sometimes shopping is fun,lol) Great job with STS!!!

Lori-Yay on registering for the race! Have a great workout today!!!

Hello to everyone. Have a great day

Hallo girls,

Since last night I am in Atlanta, Ga. We will stay until Thursday, than off to El Paso. I could have started our thread this morning, but started chatting with our friends instead. We didn't get to talk a whole lot last night, DH and I were burned out from the flight. We will stay in Ga a few days, then we will drive to El Paso TX, to sell our house.

I did P90X Shoulders/biceps & triceps! That's all I had energy for this morning. I will try to run outside with our friend Jimmy tomorrow, not sure how that will turn out. Ga is hot and the humidity is gonna kill me My head /sinus is also killing me since yesterday, not even the meds help.

I will try to be back later and catch up on personals!

 

[dr.mel_PT]

Workout done! I did STS and Leaner Legs. My legs are on fire right now I maxed out on my barbell weight in STS, so the next time I do the program, I will have to buy some more plates. I also needed to borrow my brother's Bowflex dial-weights to do the 1-arm rows since mine aren't heavy enough anymore

Trish, awesome job on losing the vacay weight! Great WOs too!!

Amelia, LOL @ the Harley cake for DS. That is so cool!! You have to post pics of it!

Belinda, that is unacceptable, chatting with friends instead of us Just kidding! Allergies are really bad this year. Hope you feel better!

 

[Cookie57]

Evening!
Belinda, how far are you from Amelia? Are you two going to meet up? Atlanta's beautiful but the humidity has always bothered my allergies. Nice job getting your workouts in.
Lori, not surprised you registered - thought you would! Think of how much lulu you can get if you get a more economical car.
Amelia, Love your ds's taste! yeah on preordering tomorrow!
Deb, no makeup?!!! You must have stayed home all weekend! Actually ds has a job. He's going into banking, and they're having no problem in this economy. He's taking a month off before starting tho. I have to check out this month's rotation - have you looked at it?
Trish, you sound like me counting down the weeks until the school year and activities are over. Every single weekend between now and July is busy. Ughhh. What did you do to get the wt off?
Helene, hope you're enjoying the vacay. How's the weather?
Iris, where did you go? How's things at the gym?
Melissa, bending the elbow also builds biceps! I agree with your dad, perhaps the guy is shy. Have you thought of contacting him again?
Kristin, best of luck tomorrow with testing. It is soooo stressful.
Took a rest day today. Feel absolutely drained. A former student was fatally stabbed last night.

Hi all! Things have been so hectic, and I feel terrible that I have been playing peek-a-boo with this check in all week. It has just been nutso. Yesterday I had to be up at 6:30 to get everyone ready for team pics that were scheduled at 8 in the morning. On a Sunday? yep, on a Sunday. I drank a lot of coffee, lol. Then we did yard work and had my sister and nephew over for a while. I ended up doing Intensity last night. After my workout, we put the kids to bed, started watching Celebrity Apprentice, and then heard to news about bin Laden. When they first said on the news that the president would be addressing the nation shortly, I thought something terrible had just happened. Why else would he be going on the news so late at night on a Sunday night no less. We were shocked and happy to find out that the he was finally brought to justice. With all the nonsense going on lately, it was nice to have some GOOD, REAL NEWS.

Tonight's workout was Push/Pull. I cannot remember the last time I did this one, but I needed a weight workout and something less than an hour. It was such a good workout. I worked up a sweat, lifted the same weight that Cathe did throughout. I really just feel so much stronger and more "advanced" I guess is the right word to use, since doing STS.

Cookie- OMG! What happened to your student? That is horrible!!!! Is he still a student at the school or an adult now? About the test, we found out 8th period we cannot give the test tomorrow because we were not sent the right amount of copies. The state has to send more copies of Book 1 to us. UGH!!! I just want to get this over with and then get back to REAL teaching, lol. Leave it to the state to screw up!!!! Shocking, I know.

Melissa- lol at your brother being skeptical because only women have written reviews. My DH keeps saying he wants to do something to get in shape, and when I suggest STS, he says, maybe. I think it is the woman thing for him too, lol. MEN!! Awesome on almost being done with STS. I want to do it again, but waiting for after the NJ RT. It is getting closer, you know

Belinda- I am so out of the loop that I did not even know you were in the states! Hope you are enjoying yourself.

Amelia- the cake sounds awesome. How old is your son going to be?

Trish- great job ont he weight loss!!! High fives! I also gained 4-5 pounds on vacay, and it has been hard to get back to better eating, but this week we are back on track, lol. I did have some nice DOMs in my legs and arms from ME. I wonder what push/pull will bring. I am "shocking" my muscles by doing workouts I have not done in months now, lol.

Lori- With gas prices being what they are and what you "downsize." You would save so much $$$$ and think about what you could buy with that cash, . I drive a 2007 Jeep compass, and it is pretty good on gas, I mean it is not a 4 X 4 though. I have one more year of payments, so I am not looking to buy a new car. I would like to see what life is like without having a monthly car payment, lol.

Okay, I am done for the night. I will be back tomorrow. We have a game at 6 so my workout will be short. I am thinking LM premix 1-4. We shall see if I can pull it off, lol.

Night,
Kristin
