Good Morning

It is nice being the only one awake in the house Gives me a little time to myself before another busy day starts!
I knew it was soon comming but couldn't find the appt....DS as more needles today! Ugh! I hate those stupid things. My workout will have to wait until this afternoon b/c it will be to warm to run when Im through with that.
Yesterday when running I was absolutly drove nuts with stouts. I don't know what you guys call them, maybe wasp? or is that hornets? Anyway, they were huge and when they bite you it hurts so much! They don't get a chance to bite, Im assuming that they can't land b/c I keep moving. So I had to take bit of a detour home, it was almost just as long but it was through town instead of out on the highway,where there was more flies! I feel like taking a weapon with me when i go. And of course its not me that I am worries about, Im afraid that they will bite DS.
So....my workout will be in the basement today. Some form of cardio, PUB and abs
Im going to check up on yesterdays thread and I will be back with personnals!

Ameila** I have never taken a recovery week...do you have more energy when you start back at it? I have read in the past that it only takes 3 days to get out of doing something, Im always afraid that if I take more then 1 day off, I will lose my motavation to workout. I doubt I would though b/c I love it so much I remember being pregnant and having 4 dvds to try out, I use to sit and watch them...waiting for the day to come that I could try them

Cheryl** Ha! No makeup sex on Sun! LOL I went to work and when I went upstairs to get ready, he chased me. We kinda lost our cool at each other and then he told me that how I talk to DD sometimes isn't very nice. I try to be super nice to her but she keeps doing things to tick me off! I then told him that I just spent a full week with her and her friends (Cleaning up after them), so he should try it sometime. Anyway...he happened to be here yesterday when she called me upstairs and when I told her something she snapped back at me. I then said to him "now do you see why I am contray all the time with her?" Of course he agreed with me and said that I shouldn't let her go out today. I let her go but last night I told her that I wanted her room cleaned up, an hour later, still not done. Then when her friends start calling ,she thinks that she is gonna do a 10 sec clean up. She comes downstairs, ask where her sweater is, I tell her she isn't going anywhere till her room is clean and she snaps at me again. She is just super cool this week! Anyway..thats when she got grounded. Told her to call her friends cause she wasn't going anywhere tonight. Ugh...this is only the 2nd week of summer break and she is grounded already! LOL

Belinda** I love CTX ub! Are you sore today? I tried to do PUB yesterday with DS downstairs but when i was doing chest he started crawling over me, so I gave up!

I will be back later! Have a good day everyone!

Good morning girls,working on my second cup of coffee here and its Oh SO YUMMY:9

Well were suppose to go fishing in a bit so im not getting in a workout this morning,except the usual thirty minute dog walk. maybe some cardio later,maybe not;-) im loving this rest/recovery week!! No stress about my weight workouts and when to get them in!

The only thing i don't like is the number on the scale this morning ,being up 5lbs since my last WI last week? My montly visitor just left so maybe its just water retention? I hope it is anyway,my eating hasn't been that bad?

Lori-I thought the same thing the first time i took a recovery week,ya know,losing the motivation to work out,but i always come back completely refreshed and ready to hit it harder. Im taking one because i just felt exhausted all weekend,no energy.... so i went back in my food/workout diary and i haven't had one this year just listening to my body! Im also hoping my doms will return in my LB}( maybe the rest week and increase in weights will help. Sorry your run yesterday was bothered with those pesky hornets,wasps.

everybody have a wonderful day,gotta get that dog walk in now!

Hi ladies,

I still don't have my laptop back and I am getting frustrated. Supposedly, it should come this week, we'll see.

I started the July rotation yesterday and today's workout will be Yoga. I am supposed to do 30 min of cycling as well, but I am not going to that in 100 degree weather, so I think I will just do the yoga and call it a day.

Better get started, just put DD down for a nap, so I should use the time. ;-)

I hope you are all doing well
Kristine

Finally checking in. Sorry about that, and I’m not even in the office today. Somehow my daughter hit her tooth on the bottom of the pool yesterday, so today was off to the dentist. Simply amazing how in less than an hour no one can tell she looked like a vampire earlier in the morning. She joined the club – no every one of my kids has had at least one chipped tooth.

Lori, the teenager years are horrible. Honestly, sometimes I wonder why we spend so much time worrying about their self esteem, when they seem to absolutely delight in ruining any we may have. They are also so incredibly self centered. I know they can’t help it, but it sure can be a challenge to live and deal with. Sorry you had those bugs/bees when running. There are a lot of insects here as well. The boys joke if we ever sell our house it would have to be in the winter. Of course in the winter there’s a lot of snow and ice, so good thing we staying put for a while.

Amelia, enjoy your rest week. It sounds needed. You’re still walking on your rest week? Gee, many people still count that (like me) for exercise.

Belinda, thought of you this morning when doing Step Blast. Were you laughing at me trying to remember those steps? Haven’t done that one in a while and it sure showed. Don’t know why but I like the peg-leg pivot and jump-run movements. Still have to get in abs, and better do it when I’m done here before I don’t get it in. I’m presenting at a conference the next three days so I’m going to have to change up the rotation. Before leaving tomorrow I’ll do Thursday’s UB and abs, Thursday and Friday will be run/walks, and Saturday will be B&G and SJP. Unless, of course, I manage to squeeze B&G in this evening.

Cheryl, how’s the weather in your area? Is it a dry heat? It’s really hot and humid on the east coast. Makes me long for central air. Your workout sounded really good and hot.


Kristine, I’m sorry you’re still struggling with the laptop issues. That’s so frustrating! The only reason I’m looking forward to doing the upcoming comference is I’ll be able to be wireless. Having only dialup as our option is a real pain. Good luck on getting it fixed soon. Perhaps you could try to convince me to do yoga. I really do struggle to get it in.

Amy, hope all is well with you and your husband.

Last night my relay group got together for a run, and I managed it! Sounds lame, but I did manage to do the 4 miles in hot humid weather. Of course, my pf was really sore during the ride home. Stretched it out when I finally got home, and was good to go for this morning’s workout. Am also scheduling a massage, which should really help with easing the pain.

Hi girls,

I am done with Step Blast + abs from 4DS BC/KB!

Cookie** I had a little trouble with some of the steps myself!:+ I hope you fit in all your workouts this week! If not, OH well!

Kristine** I also have to return my laptop to the store! It won't let my post! LOL! Maybe it is telling my something! LOL! Hope you get yours fixed soon! How do you like your rotation so far? Sounds like a good one!

Of to the shower!

Hi, everyone!

Lori, I don't blame you one bit on your response to DD. Aaack! Teenagers! I had a blow up with my near 14 year old adopted Russian son Sat night. He'd had a whole week of first rate vacation treatment - theme parks, mall visits, new video games... and Saturday night he had taken one of our dumbbells out of the workout area and left it somewhere in the t.v. room.

We searched the whole house for the dumbbell and when my husband figured out what happened, he asked DS if he'd please put it back and not take it out of the workout room. DS blew up. "I hate you! I don't want a step dad! I want you out of my life! I've had a million stepparents and i don't want any more!" (ahem - my ex has been divorced 3 times and has girlfriend/prospct 4 staying over in his house right now. Hmmm, I wonder where all that's coming from?)

So I had a talk with him and he said he was going to his dad's immediately, and if he had to apologize he was never coming back. I told him "you don't have to like your stepdad, but you do need to be appropriate to him". I asked him if he wanted me to find his pocketknives to take with him (we'd hidden them away). He said "No, I'll get them tomorrow. I'm coming back for dinner." :+ :+

Okay, that was a long run away from home. What a goof.

Nice run today. Have you thought about insect repellent spray or gel on you and DS before you leave? Maybe a thought.

Kristine, nice to hear from you! Sorry about the laptop issues!

Amelia, TOM must be the cause. Nobody can gain 5# in a week. Not easily, at least.

Cookie, sorry about the pf trouble! Would a rest day or two from running help? Hope the massage helps you out. Sounds fun, at least

Belinda, great workout! Good stuff!

I'm sore from PUB this morning. Did just a short run with partner - all I had time for. Darn. It was enough.

Hey Girls!

Not sure anyone will read this tonight but i will write it anyway

Our day was o.k. Of course he wasn't thrilled about getting his needles (as they were happening) but it didn't take long for him to get over it.
Then when I was getting him ready for his nap my SIL popped by with my neice. Everything was thrown all out of wack BUT I did get my workout in when she left. I did 7 seg of Imax 3, abs and PUB. That was enough

Ameila** Thats why I don't take rest weeks My scale would be up 5 lbs! LOL Somedays I eat to much so it just evens out, even with those long runs It may be water retention if its been warm there.

Kristine** I would be sooo ticked as well if my computer wasn't working;( Glad to see everything is o.k with you though!

Cookie** Hope DD's tooth didn't cost to much $$$$! And the kiddies are totally self absorbed...irritating acutally. We ran out to get some milk and when I get home she has a boy sitting on the step with her...its her boyfriendx( They are only young so Im not worried but I hope she doesn't think Im stupid b/c I was only a kid a while ago and I know alot more then she thinks I do! LOL She is a good kid for the most part but the terrible attitude really shines through sometimes!

Belinda** Good job with the workout today. If I had to take a recovery week I would be totally lost.

Cheryl** Thats quit the story to! I also remember last yr when you had a little trouble with your daughter and your step daughter! Kids! They will make you look old!~

I will be back in the morning! I will probably be the first one here. I have to work in the a.m so I will be up bright and early!
Lori

Lori** you DS is getting older, nobody likes needles! Great job with your workout today! Taking a rest week, didn't hurt me at all! I ate normal! I feel so much better this week! I have been doing very heavy lifting for a few month, my body needed a rest week!

Enjoy your evening!
