CoNtRoL the DaMaGe in Aug!

Hey Girls

I'm at my parents house. It was later when I decided to head out but I was already packed anyway.

I did PUB and PH shoul,bics,tris, abs and cycle max. I think tomorrow will be a run day. I need to see what kind of weights my brother has next door.

Diana** I dunno....condo in the mountains sounds pretty good to me! But your right, as long as you aren't working who cares ! All of my inlaws are away. My bil's sister is getting married next week and my sil wanted my mil and fil to go to so they all left today. I ended up getting a young guy who use to work for DH to crash at the house with the dog....I lured him with a case of beer!:eek:

Wendy** short yoga workout an hour? 5 mins is plenty for me. How do you stay concentrated for that long? I sound like people who can't get into exercise or something! Lol

I will bb in the morning
Lori:)
 
Good Morning:)

I figured I'd've talking to myself this morning:eek:. That's it when your life is boring while everyone else is spending time with their spouses:p. Pity party for one!

I'm on the fence about my workout, only b/c my hair is in a braid and I need to do something with it before I go to church and if I'm going to do my hair, I'd just sooner workout before hand. I can't see that happening this morning though. Not only that, if I leave it for this afternoon I am under no time restrictions. I can run for as long as I want. I may try fixing my hair with the hair straightener instead of washing and drying it again.

I just ordered 6 new workouts from amazon. I better use them. I order two more Mindy Mylera spinning ones b/c I like the other two I have and I use them. I also saw a Jackie Warner abs workout that looked pretty good when I previewed it. And I ordered the workout Diana did yesterday.....extreme pump and I ordered two yoga DVDs in honor of Wendy! Bob Harper warrior and a beginner one b/c I am a beginner. I should take the time over the next few days to come up with a sept rotation that incorporates weights, yoga and running. DS will be in school in th afternoons so I can run and I can probably do my weights in the a.m.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Just ordered 3 more workouts I saw on college that I couldn't get on amazon:) 2 more Mindy workouts, 1 tabata and 1 booty boot camp and Amy bentos drop sets. I use to have money in my PayPal account but it's gone..... I have to do some investigating. It was only $60. I don't know if it was used when I bought something or if I had to pay fees of some sort.

Hi Me!

Worst run EVER!!!!! I left about an hour after lunch to go for my run. About 10 mins in it started to rain...not just rain but pour. Rain doesn't normally bother me so I kept on going hoping it would let up. I decided to go the same route I went the last time I was here which was 7 k one way, then turn around. I get to the 7 k mark and I decide to do the upcoming hill cause I felt good. I was having an awesome run, still raining but not nearly as hard. As I'm trucking up the hill who should come behind me but my brothers DOG! I was so pissed! He was outside when I left and I told him to stay. I guess putting in my headphones wasnt in my favor. I called my parents for someone to come and get him but of course my phone had no reception cause I'm in the middle of nowhere! Then my gps signal sucked on the way back so I gave up on that, also couldn't listen to my music b/c I had to keep my ears and eyes open for the dog so he didn't get ran over. Then my socks were full of rocks..to the point where my feet were gonna get blisters if I didn't stop and empty them. And then it started to POUR again...plus the wind was in my face. Then my phone started to die. Better my phone then the dog I guess. The only upside is I did 15k, furthest I've ran in a while and I felt good doing it until everything went to *hit and I was majorly annoyed with everything and everyone. I didn't think my phone was going to survive the rain to be honest. Anyway...I'm home...I don't know why I'm telling myself all of this:p

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I got up to the Condo....the girls are calling...bbs

Lori-sorry you had a such a sucky run today, but you perservered through the wind, rain, dog, phone etc....You Rock!

bbl
 
I'm back. I had told the girls I would take them in the hot tub and they thought I meant right now....so they put on the their swimsuits and got their beach towels....then were telling me to hurry up and get my swimsuit on. Needless to say we've been in the hot tub.:D They can only go in for 5 minutes at a time, and their little faces are beet red and they still don't want to get out.

We all went shopping at the outlet stores today and somehow I ended up spending $250 on clothes for the girls. They need them but I don't want to get in the habit of spending this kind of money on them. I don't mind helping out, but I just paid for their airfare too. They are so excited for school, pre-school that is. They won't start kindergarten til next year since their birthday is in January.

No workout to report for today, just walking/shopping....nothing I would consider noteworthy. I'm going to checkout the BR, and ZWOW and see what they have to offer that doesn't require any equipment.

What are you all up to today?
 
Hey. Just finished my work out....

Body Blast Timesaver #2-Back/Core-Warm up and weights only + Intensity Step only premix. :D

Time for a quick shower and to get dinner goin'...Running waaaay late today! :eek:

BBL if I can, if not definitely tmrw!! I promise you won't have to talk to yourself tmrw, Lori! :p

That's all for now...:cool:
 
Good Morning

My mom heard the baby chatting this morning so she came and got him so I could sleep in. I was still up at 7:30 but it beats 6:30. I'm not sure what workout I will do today. I would like to run again but it's suppose to be pretty warm today and if I don't go early I won't get. I brought some DVDs with me...not sure which ones. My legs are also a little sore. I can only imagine what the dogs must feel like! I'm sure he slept good.

We discovered that the baby has another tooth yesterday and there's another one coming. Now I know why he was restless last week. He slept good last night so I figured the other tooth had broken through but I don't think it as.

Diana** well when you still have kids of your own that you are supporting,it's kind of hard to spend what you want on your grand kids. I know my mil is over the top on her spending. My moms budget on everyone is $50 for Christmas and you know what...that's fine, cause no one needs anything and they need to retire in comfort. My mils budget is $300! She use to fill stockings for everyone as well not that long ago and I told her to stop it. We don't need two stocking for Christmas. But she still spends $300 on everyone. Wherever she goes, she has to bring back something for them....etc...but she has no one living home with her anymore. Chances are your grand daughters arent going without. I bet they enjoyed the hot tub. My hot tub water needs to be changed. DH use to do it. I'm gonna have to go to the place where we bought it and ask if someone could come by and change it. I'm not sure how much this will cost me but I'm not getting in that water the way it smells now.

Wendy** you never came back! Tut-tut! Well you promised that today I wouldn't be talking to myself so you have to come back:p. Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

I will bbl to report my workout! I need more coffee!

Lori:)
 
Hi Lori~I'm here!:p

Not sure what work out I will do today. My neck/shoulder has been bothering me to varying degrees over the past several days (arthritis acting up!:() so my work outs have been dictated by what I think I can handle each day. Unfortunately it seemed to be getting much better until yesterday during my w/o when I did something to really irritate it and was in a lot of pain for the rest of the day/night! :( Since I've gotten out of bed it seems to have improved some but I still need to be careful so I'm not really sure what I'll be up for today yet...

So as soon as I got up this morning I began scouring for jobs. Ended up applying for 4-5 jobs on Career Builder so keep your fingers crossed for me that I atleast get interviews out of a few of them!

Lori:: How nice of your mom to take the baby so you could sleep! Sorry about your bad run. Hate when that happens. :( Wow-you sure went on one heck of a non Cathe dvd shopping spree! That's unusual for you! What brought that on anyway?? And YOGA of all things!? :eek:

Diana:: What is it with kids and hot tubs? They aren't meant for children yet they swarm to it! I guess that's probably why! LOL My son likes them too! So did you get in a ZWOW or BR y'day? IDK how you didn't spend MORE on your GDs' clothes! Little girls clothes are so freakin' cute! If I had a girl I'd be broke all the time and she would have more clothes then me!!!!:p So Kundalini yoga is...um...well...WIERD yoga! LOL :p It's got lots of chanting, medititation and "exercises" I've never seen before as well as lots of different (some unusual) breathing techniques. It also has some familiar moves in it too depending on the dvd you are doing but for the most part it's very different from the "traditional" yoga that you will find in say Yoga X, etc...

Ok, guess that's all for now but I'll be back!;)
 
Hey Girls

I've been back from my run for a while. It was to warm today. I thought id beat the heat but no such luck. I ended up doing 10k and abs when I returned. I think tomorrow will be some kind of DVD and wed a long run before I go back. I think tomorrow is suppose to be warm again, while wed it's suppose to be cooler. The dog also got excited when he saw me tying up my shoes:mad: and when I went to put him inside he ran away from me:mad::mad:. But all you really have to do is say the word "treat" and they fall for it:) I'm no dummy!
Boy are my legs ever sore! I didn't realize it until I started running and now they feel more sore b/c I just ran for another 47 mins. It must be all the hills!

Wendy** well Ive been looking for some new weight DVDs. I am doing a lot of weights these days and everytime I go to take one out I realize that I just did it not that long ago and I own most of cathes....minus STS right now. I enjoy the Amy bento one I have and I enjoy the spin ones as well. Both instructors I am familiar with so I know I will get a good workout. You've made a lot of progress today looking for a job! Good for you....something I will be doing in the future when we move. I'm sure you will get interviews! I didn't know you had arthritis! Hopefully it will ease up so you can get a workout in!

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
MON

Hello Ladies ..

Sorry I was MIA all weekend ..

We had a gorgeous weekend - DSIL had a great birthday - we exercised (bob - tbt) then hung out by the pool :cool:

LORI :eek: first of all .. WHEW .. whatta run you had the other day :eek: OMG .. sorry I just had so giggle .. seeee .. you handled that like a pro .. I would have been in tears by the time I got home!!! and second: WOW you are putting in some miles!!! WTG .... are you training for another marry???? geesh girlie! and you will love Bob's yoga .. it is a really good DVD .. and he puts his own unique twist on traditional power yoga moves .. I really like that dvd!

DI - enjoy your vaca - sounds like fun .. I have only been to the TN mountains ... (snow ski trip) .. but a mountain vaca sounds awesome!!

Wendy - I looked up the Kundalini yoga - since you have been so into it - ummmmm .. ya .. it is NOT for me .. my mind would never slow down long enough to do that!! the only yoga is like is the power yoga that flows at a faster pace!!! But I DO NEEEEED yoga .. that is for sure!!!

OK .. soooo today will be prbly AB or CF ... better run .. have a great day!
 
I'm back. My work out is done!:)

2.5 mile run on the TM at the gym and 40 minutes of a new Kundalini Yoga dvd called Dance the Chakras. It's half yoga and half cardio dance. I did the yoga only portion today since I had already run prior. I will do the dance portion soon! :D

Laura:: I hear you on finding it difficult to slow down. It can be a tough thing to learn how to do but I am getting better at it! I find that the physical portions of these dvds make you WANT to do the meditation, deep relaxation and chants because it's akin to the rest periods in any other work out IMO. That being said, just as yoga is not for everyone...THIS style of yoga is DEFINITELY not for everyone!!! LOL I have grown to love it though so I'm happy that I decided to give it a chance. :) I really had no idea what it was about when I ordered my first dvd. I just took a shot in the dark because I was seeing so many positive reviews on amazon!

Lori:: Well good luck with the new work outs! I especially can't wait to hear your thoughts on the yoga!!!:p As long as I can wrangle a sitter for my DS, I am going to a "meeting" tmrw for one of the companies I have an application in with-they called me this morning! They call it an "informational meeting". They probably tell applicants about the company and the available jobs and what's expected, etc. I'm both nervous and excited! :D

That's all for now...BBL!:cool:
 
Hi Girls

I'm enjoying a coffee after my nap...Im starting to sound like wendy:p. I was super lazy, the baby was napping, DS was watching tv...so I closed my eyes for a bit.

Laura** sounds like you had a relaxing weekend. My bother has a pool next door but relaxing next to it with DS doesn't sound possible. I wasn't impressed yesterday. I wasn't in crying mode, just swear like a sailor mode! I think I would have ran further too. Oh well. At least we both made it back alive:confused:

Wendy** maybe if you show up for the meeting they may get the impression that you are very interested...which I'm sure you are. Have you ruled out going back to school?

I may bbl. I'm more bored then I thought I was going to be. My brother and his family are away and it's not hard to miss them. Although the kids rarely show their noses, at least I still know they are there. They arrive tomorrow sometime. DS is asking to go home already but I'm sure I would be bored there too with all my inlaws away. Staying here is costing me money too. I ordered those DVDs and now I'm looking at clothes online:eek:

Lori:)
 
Isaac

well we are getting the first feeder band from Isaac!! and as usual .. under tornado watch for next couple days - thank goodness he went to the West -- hate it for LA .. but it was on direct path to our boat :confused: then up to us! but for now .. we will get rain and wind .. and threat of tornados .. but we will prbly be spared the ruff stuff! Storm teams have been built and in place!! Hope Biloxi dont have huge water surge .. :( .. we have friends that live in Port Sulfer, LA .. and New Orleans ... praying they are somewhere safe!!!

My friend in West Palm Beach, FL has been taking a POUNDING ... at 3 today she had had 8 inches of rain since 8 a.m. ... said 12" is expected for today ..

My cousin lives in Ft. Walton, FL .. and one of my other friends JUST moved to Pensacola, FL .. :confused: .. BE SAFE PEOPLE!!!

Wendy - good news .. and ... the informal meeting I am sure YOU WILL ROCK!!!

Lori - LOL .. ya .. I usually cuss like sailor THEN the tears start .. when I get so mad .. mad enough for tears .. watch out!! glad both you and the dog made it back safely .. at least the dog cant repeat the sailor talk .. LOLOLOL
 
Good Morning

Slept well last night and I got to sleep in again until 7:30. My mom had to get blood work done that required fasting so she had to leave early to get it done. I had some weird dreams last night. Everytime I woke to roll over , I just finished dreaming something weird but I can't remember any of them now. Only the last one and it had something to do with DH being home for a visit,some of DDs weird friends and her getting into trouble.

I'm not sure what workout I will do today. I enjoy running outside here cause I don't get to to do it much at home anymore but I would really like to go for a long one tomorrow. So maybe today I will do CF which I brought with me.

Laura** can you get insurance against tornado damage? When our basement flooded a while back a lot of people on our st didn't have insurance cause it's under the "mother nature act" but we had coverage. We've always had to much coverage. Came in handy that time. I guess the tornado season is creeping up. It's usually oct month isn't it? I don't get mad and cry...just sad and cry. When I get mad, look out.....it's a wonder the dog made it back alive.,.and not b/c of the traffic;). My mom says he does it all the time. He as a way of chasing people and them not knowing. Probably cause he spends most of his time hidden in the ditch. My dog isn't smart enough for that. Not that long ago I went for a run and before I was 3 hours up, my dog zoomed by. I guess we know which dog is the smarter of the two.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
TUE

well after that band moved thru it has been sort of eery quiet - it is HOT MUGGY .. air is REALLY heavy ... we are to get the worst of it tonight and tmrw morning - my LA buds are riding storm out .. :confused:... pray they are ok! they had looters real bad thru Katrina .. they are afraid to leave their houses .. sad!!! He said he had generators, food, water, liquor and guns and ammo .. he is ready .. LOL!!

me and SIL did Crossfire last night .. was a sweat fest .. we both sweated out some CABS that we consumed over her birthday weekend .. I got NO SLEEP last night .. was up and down all night long ..

Lori -cant imagine running 3+ hours .. WOW .. girl you are amazing! if you do get to run .. have a good one .. make sure the DB dog is locked up tho! LOL

Hello to Wendy n DI! have a great one

OK .. better run ... today will prbly be a run this afternoon at the CC!!!
 
Hello Girls. :)

Recently finished my work out - Supersets Lower Body Blast (33 mins). May add on yoga and/or cardio later after the meeting this afternoon or evening but if not, no big deal...

Lori:: LOL - yup! You sound EXACTLY like me re the coffee after a nap comment! ;) Sorry about your wierd/bad dreams last night. I didn't dream but slept terribly after 2am. My neck was really bothering me (it must have gotten stiff from sleeping) so when I woke up around 2am and felt the pain it was hard for me to get comfortable enough to fall back to sleep. I eventually did but I think I was up until close to 5am before that happened. :rolleyes: Yeah - pretty much giving up on the school idea unless a future employer wants to send me (and pay for it!!!!). :p The more I think about it, the more it just doesn't seem worth it...Remember how far the personal training cert got me? LOL :p

Laura:: Happy to hear the storm is turning away from you but prayers going out to those you know in LA. Great job on Crossfire with SIL! I found TTM to be the tougher of the two! How about you? Thanks for the vote of confidence for the meeting today. I have to bring a copy of my resume and the meeting is an hour long...not even sure what position they are considering me for so this should be interesting!:p

Guess that's all for now but I'll report back on the meeting later this afternoon/evening!

Ciao for now!:cool:

Hi Girls

Think we are going to take DS to the playground after lunch. I'm not that hungry but I have motherhubard watching over me:confused: so I have eat NOW cause its lunch time and not an hour later.

I did crossfire, MMA boxing combos, abs and stretch.

Laura** lol....yeah 3 hours of running is a bit much. I haven't done that in a while. And to tell you the truth I don't know if I want to!

Wendy** I can't much blame you about the schooling. I haven't done a whole lot with my certificate....only cause someone got me pregnant! But time will tell what I do with it!

Bbl!
Lori:)
 
Well that was a waste!:confused: It's an insurance company (which I knew) and they are trying to recruit sales people which I didn't know or I would not have bothered!:rolleyes: Needless to say I walked out of there no closer to finding a job. :(

Still not sure about yoga or cardio but I'll be sure to come here to report on it if I do something!:cool:
