CoNtRoL the DaMaGe in Aug!

Good Morning.:)

Well, our resident early bird isn't here this weekend so I guess I need to take over! :p

I'm feelin' twinges of DOMS here and there in my legs from Crossfire. :)

Not sure what's happening for today. I have this LF lower body w/o I'd like to get done this weekend:: Smoke & Ashes Workout - Lower Body Routine : @LovingFit , along with a good yoga session, upper body at the gym with DH (tmrw) and if I feel like it, cardio at the gym today...It's alot to do in 2 days though so I'm not even considering trying to do it ALL and so so far gym cardio is probably what's going to be left out...

We don't have any big plans this weekend so not sure what we'll do. It's supposed to be HOT though so unless an activity involves water, whatever we decide to do will probably NOT be outdoors!!!:eek:

BBL!:cool:
 
Good Morning

Little sleepy right now. This time difference really sucks. We didn't do anything last night cause Stephen went to sleep at 7....and so he should have cause it was really 10:30 for him. And then he woke up at 4 cause it was really 7:30. But he went back for a nap and now he is awake again but dh is still sleeping. I think when I finish this coffee I will head down to the fitness center and get a run in. I don't know what the plan is for today. It will probably involve shopping.

The baby was really good on the way here. He didn't cry at all on the flight. I don't think the people that were sat next to me we're real thrilled about sitting next to a baby. On my first flight the lady I was sitting next to was already I. H seat, I had the window seat and she wouldn't even get up for me to get in my seat. She made me crawl in over her with the baby and a big diaper bag. Her connection was canceled...served her right...karma! Then on my second leg the guy sitting next to me was so big that he was over flowing into my seat...which made nursing even more challenging then it already was. The baby kicked my table tray and spilled my water on him....Both of them only acknowledged the baby after the flight was over and they realized that he didn't cry. 3rd leg I sat alone....

Wendy** here I am! Just not as early. Dh is still sleeping while I'm nursing but he's going to be woken up pretty soon. It's usually pretty hot here but not this weekend. And I didn't even bring any pants for the baby.

Diana** happy sneaker shopping. I love getting new kicks and it's not hard to tell when I need them either. Something usually starts aching.

Laura** good girl not skipping any workouts!! I will try my best to catch up with dh ;).

I may check In again tonight or tomorrow. I don't plan on being on the go the whole time I'm here. Its just to much for the baby.

Lori
 
I'm back to report my work out::

TTM warm up and solid step (15m), Smoke & Ashes Workout - Lower Body Routine : @LovingFit (22:30m)and last but not least Kundalini Warrior Workout (75m). :)

Lori:: Glad you arrived safely and that the baby was good. Sorry about your unfriendly neighbors on the plane. Oh jet lag stinks! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Ok, time for a shower and then lunch!

BBL or tmrw!:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

We've been on the go since early this morning. We had a fund raising breakfast (Jerod's football team) that we took the whole family too first, then picked up Zach's car from the shop, then to the credit union and finally to the bank....closed our accounts....YAAAYYYYY!!!

I'm so happy to have only 1 kid in high school. Just payed his school & athletic fees...$505.00. I know I paid in the $300 dollar range for the older boys. He's a junior this year so just one more year to go after this. Yes, I'm counting down! Senior year is pretty expensive too with the caps & gowns, announcements. I have another year before I have to worry about that.

The girls are upstairs with grandpa and they are shaving his beard.:p They tend to pull on it and I think he's tired of it...oh and it might be hurting him too. LOL

I hope to fit in some weight training today and have a bike ride planned for tomorrow.

Lori-How rude, you always get up to let those in the middle or window seat in. Did you have to change planes twice??? You just take everything in stride, that probably would've been stressful for me with an infant. Glad Stephen was such a good baby for you. Enjoy the weekend with DH.;)

Wendy-nice w/o lady! I don't know how you can stand doing yoga for 75 minutes...20-30 mins is about all I can take.

Laura-any fun weekend plans?

bbl
 
Diana:: Wow, busy morning for you! What weight work out are you leaning towards if you can fit one in today? So the girls are shaving your DH's beard!? Not with a straight edge I hope! ;) That IS a lot of $$ for athletic fees! :eek: Having a child is never cheap I suppose!:rolleyes: Joey is costing us more every day in food costs! That's for sure!:p Yeah I hear you on the yoga! IDK how I am doing it either (LOL) except to say that I've grown to really enjoy and appreciate it. If I didn't, I could NEVER last that long! :eek:
 
sat

Wendy..great workout..the step part is fun on ttm...and i dont really care for step anymore...i like the set up on the new workouts..

Good Morning

Had a good day yesterday. We did some shopping, nothing for myself of course..picked up most of DS's school cloths and a couple of outfits for DD. I would like to get DS some sneakers and a coat and then he will be done. I have to go back to the mall though b/c they didn't remove one of the tags on the shirt I bought for DD...and I didn't beep when I went through the doors either We went out for dinner last night and then back to the hotel and put the baby to sleep. Had a pretty relaxing evening.

I did 30 mins on the TM and 15 on the elliptical yesterday morning. I will probably do something similar today. The baby is up and fed and DH is still sleeping...it's not even 7 a.m here yet.

Wendy** maybe I should check out some of these workouts. This hotel room doesn't have a DVD player to use. I brought insanity asylum and cardio core fusion. DH was suppose to bring his laptop but I don't think he did.

Diana** sounds like your having a fun weekend. Yeah I wasn't impressed with the lady on the plane either. I think she said something about the guy in front of me putting his seat up right so I could squeeze through. I don't know why I'm not more vocal. I'm not looking forward to my return flight b/c it's an even bigger plane with 3 row seating. I thought about taking the aisle seat but when I need to nurse I can just turn my back and face the window. I keep hoping DS will sleep for a full flight but he only slept for about half of the others.

Laura** do you always workout with your sil? That must be fun and it would def keep most people committed to their workout. Some people have to have someone to keep them accountable but I doubt your like that. One of the ladies I trained would never workout unless she was coming to my house or walking with a friend. She just didn't have the motivation.

Gonna head to the gym again when DH wakes up. Enjoy your day everyone!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I need prayers for my sister. My nephew called yesterday afternoon to let me know my sister was in the hospital with Meningitis. When I got there she was in a lot of pain, severe headache which the Dr. said was most likely caused by the spinal tap. She's been having neck pain for about 2 weeks which is one of the signs of meningitis and also had what she thought was the flu. On top of all this, she only has one kidney that functions at about 70%-80% and all these pain meds really stress the kidneys.

I never got my new kicks or a w/o in yesterday. Today I have work to do since I'm a bit behind on my tasks. I may go for a short bike ride this morning just to clear my head. I'll be heading back to the hospital this afternoon. Her son, SIL, and MIL are there this morning. Her DH spent the night with her and he had to take their DD to work (about 150 mile round trip) this morning.

Lori-sounds like you are having a good time! I hate when they don't take all the tags off, it's not like we can get those plastic things off at home.:mad: When do you head back home, tomorrow???

Well the girls are up now and I just got them breakfast...not sure my w/o will happen now with everything I need to get done. However, I know I would feel much better if I worked out.

Hi Wendy & Laura:)

bbl
 
Good Afternoon. :D

Today's work out was High Reps Upper Body 39 min premix but I skipped the abs and the stretch and added the cardio only and stretch from High Step Challenge instead. Good work out. :)

The original plan was ub at the gym with DH but we over slept so that got all screwed up coz we had to go to a later Mass. :rolleyes:

Diana:: ((HUGS))!!!!!!!!! So very sorry to hear about your sister. Thoughts and prayers going out for a quick recovery for her!!!

Lori:: Glad you are having a nice time visiting DH. I'll bet you n DH had a relaxing evening! ;);) So you say you SHOULD check out some of those work outs and I agree but I know you won't! :p

Laura:: Hope you are having a fun and relaxing weekend at home!:)

BBITAM!:cool:
 
Hi Girls

DH went for a resistant workout so I'm hanging in the hotel room with a baby that should be napping. He goes to sleep for 2 mins and wakes up again. He was up before 6 and has only slept for about 20 mins since then. I was hoping we would both have a nap while DH is out, I'm not counting on it.

I went for a run outside earlier which I don't like to do in a unfamiliar place but it beats that TM. I ran to the 3 k mark and then I started going down st's then turning around .5 k down the st...by the time I returned I ended up running 10.5 k.

Diana** my goodness...that's not good news! I guess you do need to clear your head. My heart would be broken if that were my sister. Praying that she will have a speedy recovery...stay positive!

Wendy** yeah you know me to well. You know I'm all talk and no action :). You guys have such dirty,dirty minds ;). I have to fit 6 months of sex into 4 days......

I may bbl we will see how the day goes. I'd like to have a little snooze...even if it were only 5 mins and then we'd take a walk to the coffee shop while we wait. I don't feel like having a coffee unless I just wake up!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning:)

Enjoying my coffee while DH sleeps....just like the past few mornings. Oh well...not as if I can sleep in anyway! I'm thinking another run when he wakes up. I also brought a couple of DVDs I could play in his laptop.

We went to the mall again yesterday but I didn't buy anything for myself. I looked at shoes but none caught my eye and really, where am I gonna wear shoes too? I don't go anywhere. All I do is workout and take care of kids....no wonder I buy so much lulu!

I'm guessing we will part ways this evening, no sure how that will go over and realistically I probably won't see him anymore until dec.

I may bbl to report my workout! Have a good Monday!

Lori:)
 
MONDAY .. ugh

Morning Ladies!

Well - (sorry for all the mispells in prv post - posting from the droid is not easy) ... no workout ystdy - i was SOOOOO SORE from TTM .. especially lower back .. so sore it hurt to move .. so kinda was scared to push that! But today I am MUCH better - ready make myself sore again :p I have PMS monster on me .. UGH ... feeling fat and bloated and HUNGRY! not sure if I am hitting heavy weights at lunch .. but thinking that is the plan .. then tonight will be AB or CF!

Lori - fitting 6 months of sex in 4 days .. LOL .. not sure if that is obtainable but hell it has to be fun trying ;);) :p:p:p have a safe flight home! I know it is gonna be hard leaving! Me n SIL workout together a lot ... but both of us also workout solo too .. no motivation problems there .. but having her there makes me work harder I think .. she is stronger at some things that I may wimp out on and I see her doing it and it pushes me .. and I am sure the same goes for her!! and it is easier to have a workout DATE and be accountable too!!

Di {{{{ HUGS }}}}} ... and prayers coming your way! Hoping your sister is better and on the mend today!!! do let us know!

Wendy - SIL and I decided the ONLY way we will fit yoga in is to meet at lunch and do it ... so any reccommendations on 30 - 40 minute yoga DVD??

OK .. better run .. I am at my desk for today .. and have some catching up to do! send some good news vibes my way .. me and DH are expecting some news on the legal front today :confused: my tummy is in knots!

have a great one!
 
Hi Girls:)

Just back from a 11k run. Glad I'm not running tomorrow. Some guy on the side walk whisteled at me a few kms down and by the time I got back to my hotel, he was in front of the hotel whistling at me. It freaked me out none the less. By the time I got up to my room I could still see him from my window sitting on the curb but by the time I finished telling DH the story he was gone. I'm not sure how he made it here before me.

Speaking of spelling mistakes I had quite a few a few post back. These iPads, iPhones...I stuff, keep changing things on me.

Laura** yeah I don't think we made up for 6 months worth and there is no way we will fit it all in today. I'm not looking forward to my first visit from the Pms monster. I'm thinking everyone in my house should run for cover.

Off to get ready for breakfast....I'm starving now!

Lori:)
 
Good Afternoon Girls.

This morning's work out was a 3+ mile run on the TM with ITread 30m #10, 2 abs machines and then home for a 49 min kundalini yoga premix. :)

Heading bowling with DS as soon as my coffee cup is empty and then tonight DS, DH, myself, my mom and her SO are all getting together to take DS to a fair for the evening.

Lori:: Good job on the run but sorry about the wierdo you encountered. This is just one more reason why I appreciate the TM so much!;) No worries about not buying any shoes because I bought a pair on Saturday FOR you! LOL :p

Laura:: Good job on TTM and the resulting DOMS! I finally did CRF in full. Now it's TTM's turn! Perhaps I can make it happen before I leave on Sunday! It'll help make room for all of the CABS and food I will be inhaling while I am away! :D Not sure what kind of yoga you and SIL are looking for but Baron Baptiste is a good instructor in my opinion though I don't think any of his DVDs are under like 45 mins but you can skip parts if you want. He's traditional w/o being "wierd". LOL You could also do the premixes of Cathe's yogas. They all hover around 30 mins in length. I also like Biggest Loser's Yoga for Weightloss with Bob Harper. I've also heard that Jillian's Yoga Melt Down is good and I think it's divided into 2 thirty minute work outs! HTH a bit!:)

Ok, better move my arse or we won't have time to bowl and DS will be mad at me!:confused:

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

No workout to report for yesterday....ggggrrr. I didn't sleep well the night before and didn't have the energy. Definitely need to do something this morning though.

I sat with my sister for a couple hours yesterday, not much change. She's heavily drugged and slept most of the time. They are trying to control her pain (severe headache) which can be caused by both the meningitis and the spinal tap.

I'm so glad the tri is this Sunday...I just want to get it over with and get back to weight training! I'm sure I'll be happy I did it when it's over.

Lori-What a creep, do you think he was following you? Hope you used protection;)....that's how many women end up preggers....thinking they won't get pregnant since their cycle hasn't returned.

Laura-hoping you get some good news!:) Wow, you are on a roll with your workouts! You may have to do some for me since I'm slacking this week.

Wendy-How did DS like the fair? I love going to the truck/tractor pulls at our fair. It's the loud revving of the trucks that I can feel in my heart...so exciting! I know, I sound like a child...but I do love it!!!:D

Off to change and find a LIS cardio w/o. bbl
 
Good Morning....not really but I'm being optimistic here!

Yesterday was absolutely terrible. I think I cried more yesterday then I have since he's been gone. I was afraid this trip would set me back...I don't think it will cause when I get home I will settle into the normal routine that is my life. If I had my time back I would have left yesterday. It was hard staying in the hotel room by myself and all day I felt like we were putting off the inevitable. He didn't leave until 10'ish last night. He had to go back to the base and he still had work to do. I won't be sorry when I'm actually home. He left his computer for me so I could workout if I want to. Im debating it but I didn't sleep well and I haven't eaten since 2 yesterday afternoon. I feel like throwing up actually...

Wendy** Glad you bought some shoes for me b/c I didn't buy anything. I tried to change my flight so I could spend some time in Toronto with a friend which would have involved a trip to lulu but it would have cost me almost $350...plus shopping! So I will just stick to the original plan!

Diana** No worries on the protection! I'm not taking any chances. I will probably make an appt soon to see the dr and figure out my options. Now that nursing is slowing down I don't mind taking something. I don't know what that guy was up to. I do think it was pure fluke that he was sat in front of my hotel.... I don't believe he knew this was where I was staying...or even if I was a visitor. But what he did know was what direction I was headed in and what side of the st I was on. And who knows, b/c I turned around he may have thought I enjoyed the attention? I'm sure weirdos can justify pretty much anything.

I decided not to workout. Im just gonna focus on my travels. Plus things can go sour quickly when traveling with a baby so I will just get my things together and head to the airport. I will check in tomorrow...from HOME!

Lori:)
 
TUE - dreary Tuesday

MOrning ladies ..

well I got off the sudafed now my stupid ear is hurting again .. ggrrrr.. I dont want to take sudafed b/c I think they are what cause my kidney stones .. :mad: .. but thiking may have to stay on it a while longer! me and SIL did AB last night .. good news is I am NOT as sore as I was last time .. NOT NEAR as sore .. a few DOMS in core and back ..but nothing like before!! today is heavy weights in the gym .. and prbly CF .. if not CF then a run on the TM .. it is storming out today!!! YUCKY DAY!!!!

No word yet on the legal front .. please keep positive vibes/prayers coming!!

Lori - you poor girl!! I can only imagine what you are going thru .. and NO you dont need to workout if you have not eaten .. just focus on getting home safely!!! That guy sure sounds like he was up to no good .. now that your hubby going to be in police type work .. you will prbly be even more cautious and paranoid (like me) I would certainly think that dude was up to no good at all!! people are EVIL .. and I have pretty much lost faith in most of the human race :( glad you are ok!!

DI - hoping your sis is ok today .. dont worry about the workouts ... sometimes skipping some workotus will make you stronger .. so you will rock the tri I am sure!!

Wendy - thnx for the yoga suggestions .. ya I like Byron Baptiste . prbly my favorite of all yoga DVDs .. how was the fair???

OK .. I am up front .. better run .. have a great day!!
 
Morning Loverlies!:)

This morning's work out was the shorter lower body premix from High Reps but I skipped abs again + CTX Kickbox cardio only wearing weighted gloves and last but not least XFlowsion:: Calm Down Dog for a nice yoga stretch. :D

The fair last night was fun. DS had a great time. In fact, we all did! We saw two shows-a magic show and an acrobatic show, put DS on some rides, ate bad food, walked around and I bought some homemade soap from one of the stands. I love that stuff! I'm such a girl! :p We were all exhausted by the time we got home. I think I just passed out when I got in bed finally! LOL

I am washing clothes today and need to hit the foodstore and get back in time for my 3pm nail appointment.

Vacation is coming up fast! I'm soooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

Laura:: AB last night and heavy weights and CF today!? HOLY COW you are brave (and CRAZY!!!!)!!!!!!!:eek::D:eek:

Lori:: (((hugs))) :( Once you get home and back in the groove you should be ok though. You are stronger then you think! ;) Yeah that would have been a pretty costly little shopping trip in Toronto. Probably a good idea to nix it then! :p Have a safe trip home!!!

Diana:: Wow the tri is this weekend already!?! That came up fast!!! I'm gonna miss it though coz that's the day I leave. Bummer :( but not cancelling my vacation! Sorry! LOL :p There are no tractor/truck pulls here at our fairs. IDK if we have any around here at all so I've never been to one but DH has taken DS to a monster truck show and DS loved it! He wants to go back so I need to investigate when we can take him coz I'd like to go this time too. :)

Ok, gotta get movin' but I'll be back!:cool:
 
Hey Girls

The baby is down for a little nap before I head to the airport. I will probably let him sleep till 10 or so. That still gives me over 2 hours to get to the airport and get situated. The first flight is a short one.

Laura** Im sending whatever good vibes I have your way! I feel the same way about people. The further I got from home, the meaner people were...LOL. I was standing outside a family washroom waiting for someone to come out and this lady just comes up and tries the door...I told her I was waiting to get in there. I don't know what she thought I was doing...she probably didn't care to much! LOL

Wendy** I bet you guys are excited about vaca! The fair was in town while I was away. I think DS went yesterday. No doubt he had a awesome time. I am looking forward to seeing him...I have to remember that I have something to go home to. I can only imagine how DH must feel. Not seeing the kids for so long must be really tough. At least I only have to miss one person instead of all of my family!

Alright...Im soon gonna head out!!

Lori:)
 
Hello Ladies! :)

Got my vacation mani/pedi this afternoon (woot!) but before that I stopped across the street and bought a new belly button ring! I posted a pic on FB. It's cherries. Very cute! :) Now that I walked in that place I am getting the itch for another tat!!!!:eek:

Lori:: You make a good point about your DH probably feeling worse then you b/c he has no one to go "home" to and you do so quit your b*tchin'! :p;):D

BBL or tmrw!:cool:
