Hi Ladies,

Just starting off the new month for us! We had to say goodbye to the girls this morning. I'm a bit tired from going to bed late and getting up early...I'll manage.

This morning may be an STS meso 2 w/o, something with back and biceps. Yesterday I only managed legs since the girls wanted to run through the sprinkler and were waiting on me.:p

The girls are gone now so no more excuses...ready to hit the workouts hard and clean up the eating!

bbl to see what everyone is up to this weekend.

Good Morning

No cardio yesterday. I know...I was just to tired. It was one of those days where I needed DH here. I've learned to manage everything pretty good but I almost felt like I needed a extra set of hands yesterday. I had the bright idea of going shopping after I picked DD up from work. I thought it might be quiet b/c it's the long weekend and everyone is out of town....yeah...I was wrong. The mall was packed and my arm was breaking from carrying the baby around. Then we went to the grocery store, another big mistake. There were a few people there too, the baby started to cry, DS was more hyper then normal and it started to pour again. I was soaked just getting the car for the kids. Then when I got home it was dinner time...yada,yada.....just one of those days. In the meantime I got all of my house work done yesterday.

The house is a little chilly this morning. I'm guessing it's soon going to be time to turn the heat back on. I've been enjoying the cheaper electrical bills since DH has been gone.

I think we are going to my parents house again today but I'm in no rush. I'm up early so I can get my workout in soon....which I think is going to be a run mixed in with legs. My UB is nice and sore from yesterday's workout. I still need to see if I can get someone to come by and let the dog out.

Diana** are you doing ok with your quiet house. Maybe your enjoying sitting down for a bit:p. I'm sure they kept you moving. I'm debating writing up a rotation or just winging it. My plan was to work UB 2-3 times and week and LB 2 times. Shorter cardios on those days, unless I split the workouts up and then a couple of longer cardios during the week. But then I started thinking that my rotation doesn't have to be a 7 day one...I can just keep going. So then I was thinking one day of chest and back, another of arms, one legs, rest and repeat....but I have another problem. My a$$ is gone again!:eek: happened when I had DS. I always lose my bum. So now I need to build tht back up.

Laura** I'm soooo not a sports fan but I think you have enough intusiasm for the two of us:). Hope you enjoyed the game! I was thinking about doing TTM today as well but I think I'm gonna stick to legs and cardio.

I will probably bb later today!

Hi Girls

Workout done. I did 30 mins on the TM, 40/20, LBB standing work and abs. Im just hanging out while the baby naps. I don't have much packing to do to head to my parents cause its only one night.

Hope your all having a good Sunday!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Jerod played the varsity game Friday night and started on JV for the Saturday game. DH wanted to get to the game for the kick off and I was rushing to get ready....anyway I forgot my phone at home.....I'm kinda lost without it. I was waiting for DS1 to call when he landed and again when he boarded the plan to come back home. I managed but wasn't very happy about it.

We went to lunch with some friends after the football game. The gal had 3 huge margaritas and was pretty tipsy...she had us laughing. I enjoyed a burger and fries and 2 amaretto sours in a tall glass!:p

My birthday present is going to be new bike shoes and clipless pedals. I need to make an appointment with the bike shop hopefully for today or tomorrow.

Yesterday was GS BSB and today should be a cardio day...perhaps Insanity that I keep talking about.:cool: I'm kind of wanting to do TTM or CF though. I'll decide when I get downstairs. Oh, I tweaked my shoulder in the hot tub of all places so I'm avoiding chest work and some tricep. Perhaps tomorrow I can hit C&T.

Lori-I have plenty of workouts to choose from it's just easier for me to follow a rotation so I don't have to think about anything. I would recommend wide leg squats (not plie though), as they work the bum a little more while still working the legs and weighted hip lifts (using a barbell or heavy weight plate. Of course the standard lunges and deadlifts too. I recently read in a Tosca Reno journal that running won't help a flat bum, you need to run hills, stairs, anything with an incline...but you already know that! Thanks for sharing your rotation ideas....I'll come up with something too. Wonder when the new Xtrain will be ready to ship.

Laura-It looks like your Auburn tigers lost yesterday, not a good way to start of the season. But it's still early on and they are probably working through positioning etc. I can't decide what w/o to do today....definitely need some cardio to work off that burger and CAB's!

Wendy-Hope you are having a great time and winning big!;)

bbl
 
Well it looks like I'm the only one around today!:) I just completed Leaner Legs & Abs, and CTX Kickbox only! Off to shower and go grocery shopping.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!:D
 
Good Morning

I think I am going for a run with my running buddy this morning..and no it's not the dog! The girl Ive been running with for years is in the area camping so I've convinced her to run some hills with me.

Just bought KPC/LG DVD . I bought 2 actually b/c it's my fiends birthday on the 11th and I know she doesn't have that one. I'm so tempted to buy STS as well, it's in for $179. I may have to check with DH on that one. Whenever I think that we need to start being extremely careful with our money, something like that happens. Although I am sure in a month or so it will be on sale again.

Diana** I'm so lost without my phone too. It probably has something to do with being on call when I was working.i wouldn't even leave my phone in a different room. I'm not that bad now but I still can't leave the house without it. I'm hoping a few good workouts will solve my bum issues;). I want to work the arms three times a week but truth be known my abs and bum need the most work.

I may bbl to report my workout. I'm not sure when we are gonna head back today.

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I'm going to give GS C&T, and Insanity a try this morning! I will be right on track with my weight training program. I tend to bulk up pretty easily with heavy weights so the Insane :p intervals should help eliminate that.

I hope to fit in a pedicure today. The place I usually go is closed, but we have many nail salons around so shouldn't be too hard to find one.

Lori-I thought you already had STS. Maybe it's your sisters and I forgot. It's a great program. I recommend doing 1 rep max tests to get the best results. Enjoy your "dog free" run today!:D

bbl
 
Back to report GS C&T and Insanity PCC are done! Oh my, those level 1 drills kicked my butt big time. I'm sure improvement will come over time.

The rest of the day will spent doing errands and preparing my breakfasts/lunches for the rest of the week.

Hi Girls:)

Think I am staying at my parents house for another night. DD wanted to stay another night so if we stay we will have to leave early tomorrow morning cause I have the girls. Their grandmother was suppose to be coming for the whole month of sept but I don't know what she's doing now. At first she was suppose to come in July, then aug and now sept...and that's not happening either. Not that it matters, I survived the summer anyway.

Today we did 10 k. I could have done more. I think I've gotten use to the hills.

Diana** yeah STS was my sisters and I gave it back to her the last time she was home. She still hasn't used it but she doesn't want to sell it to me either. I think I am going to hold off and just use the new DVDs I have coming. Hope you find a place to get your pedi done!

Bbl!
Lori:)
 
Hello Ladies. :)

Well we had a fun weekend (ofcourse!) but now it's back to reality. :( I didn't come home a winner but I never expect to either! LOL

No work outs Saturday or Sunday at the hotel but I did work out after we got home today. I did SB & SJP 61 minute weights and step circuit premix just a little while ago. Great work despite the fact that I screwed up the step challenge beyond recognition. :eek:

Waiting for dinner to arrive (pizza) and we are planning to watch a move called THE GAME (I think that's it) on netflix while we eat. Tomorrow it's back to eating right!!!!

BBITAM with personals!:cool:
 
Good Morning

I decided to stay at my parents house for one more night. Mostly b/c DD didn't want to go back...stupid boys! I didn't mind staying but I had my mind made up that I was going back. I felt unsettled about the situation so I decided to stay to. I knew she was going to want a ride to the next community and it was just going to cause havoc. My mom is a worrier as well so that doesn't help. So I felt better if I just stayed. I'm going to try and be out of here by 9 though b/c I am suppose to be taking care of the girls all day. My in laws are watching them until I get home.

Why do teenagers have to be so difficult? I was so ticked at her last night. I went to pick her up (took my neice with me for company, it's about a 15 mins drive) and on my way she text me and said that someone could give her a ride. I got my neice to text her back and tell her I was on my way so just tell me where to pick you up...this kept going back and forth. Her telling me to turn around and me telling her I wasn't. The guys she was with said they could bring her home but when I said "meet me half way then" they magically couldnt do that! Then it wasnt them who was going to give them a ride but someone else...it all sounded very fishy to me. When I picked them up neither of them said a word to me...not "hi...thanks"...:mad:. I'm thinking how ungrateful can you be? I've done this two nights in a row now. After my mother told her that she was acting like a brat, she said thanks and so on. She would have never said anything if my mom hadnt said anything. Plus I told her it was the last time I was doing it. I'm not going out of my way to take her places, only for her to get all snotty the minute she doesn't get her own way! Im so glad summer is over and her a$$ is back in school!

Wendy** no money..boo hoo! To bad you didn't win big..wouldn't that have been nice???

Today's workout is going to be cardio and UB. Im hoping so new workouts may have came in the mail today.

My boy goes to school tomorrow! Where did the last 5 yrs of my life go????
I will bbl! If no workouts arrive I think I am going to do Amy Benton's slo mo and cardio.

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

Well this is my first day back to work after a 10 day break. I've really enjoyed my time off and am not really looking forward to going back to work. Anyway, I've opted not to work out this morning. DH wanted me to watch Hunger Games with him last night and we started the movie late....went to bed late etc. I guess today is leg day at the gym.

I should log into work and see if there are any meetings on my agenda.

Lori-I hear ya on the teenagers! We have a strict "no lie" rule in my house. DH is brutal if he catches the kids in a lie. DS3 being the youngest has seen first hand with his brothers what happens if you are caught in a lie...he doesn't do it. Most of his friends are pretty well mannered too. Our problem is the driving....he thinks since he has his license and car he can do whatever he wants. I think we've got that under control now too.

bbl to see what Laura and Wendy are up to!
 
Hello Ladies. :)

This morning I did the Hi/Lo from MIC and thirty minutes of YFTW before showering and driving my MIL home. Just had lunch and am spending the afternoon on household chores...joy. :rolleyes:

Joey goes back to school on Thursday...I really need to find a job!:p

Lori:: Oh teenagers. UGH. I sure can wait for those days to roll around! :rolleyes:

Diana:: Sorry you aren't looking forward to going back to work. I thought after all that time off with 2 little ones you might be thinking work will be a nice rest. LOL. But I guess not!:p Did you like "The Hunger Games"?

Guess that's all for now...BBL!:cool:
 
Good Morning:)

Can't believe it's a school day!:eek:. I must say I am enjoying the fact that DD won't be out strolling around almost every evening anymore. She will be home with me instead:D. And I can't believe it's DS's first day of school! I think he wants to go on the bus but i am gonna have to drive behind it for the first week or so. I need to make sure he knows where he needs to go and what he has to do before I can let him go on his own. With DD it was a gradual process and she was way more advanced then him. I think I underestimate him.

When I got home yesterday the PS series was waiting for me so that's what I did. I had a long workout yesterday. I did PS C,S,T, then MM C,S,T...the house was still quiet so I moved on to PS B&B, then I did MM B&B. Later in the evening when everyone was tucked away in the bed I did 20 mins on the tm and 30/30. I also did Jackie Warner's abs which was pretty good. The first seg was all standing with a lot of arm movement and my arms were burning from weights earlier...it was hard to concentrate on my abs when my arms felt like they were going to fall off.

Disna** I hate lying as well but DD doesn't seem to understand that. I know where she gets the ability from...her biological fathers side, they are all a bunch of liars and crooks! She isn't good at lying though so I don't know why she even tries! Did you get your leg workout in? I really enjoyed the hunger games. I watched on the way back from visitng DH. I didn't think I was gonna like it but I did!

Wendy** "they" say teenage boys aren't as hard to raise as girls! I'm still waiting to figure that one out. It can't possible that much worse unless he got into drugs or something and in this town anything is possible. The chances of us still being in this town though when he is a teen is slim to none...although we could be gone and back again.

I will bbl today sometime. My parents are coming in this morning so I am going for a run with my running partner. I may to ps legs tonight...or YOGA!!! I haven't decided yet!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies!

I'm working from home today so will be able to tackle the laundry and make some appts. Our cement front step up to our deck is crumbling and cracked. I need to call a couple cement companies to come give us some estimates. We also have a bit of cracking on the back porch and some on the driveway. My main concern is the front step though.

Yesterday ended up being a rest day and I'm okay with that. Getting back to work and sifting through the "to do list" and prioritizing was plenty. This morning is Insanity CPR, and ViPR class starts tonight. It's only 1 night per week and I'm thinking about taking it.

Wendy-glad you made it back safe and sound. My rec ctr is offering a beginning Yoga class on Thursday nights that I'm considering taking. It may be my only hope of getting yoga in.:D MIC, used to love that w/o!!! I felt the step section was the reward for making it through the hi/lo!:eek:

Lori-So it's Rylan's first day of school! It will only be you and a baby, much more manageable IMO. Won't he be riding the bus with the girls? I totally understand you following the bus until you know he's got it down. Seriously, you did all that weight work....then decided to do cardio too...you are superwoman for sure!

Laura-How did you spend your long weekend?

bbl
 
Good Morning. :D

This morning I did Kundalini Warrior Workout and later on I will go to the gym with DH for a run. :)

Applying to jobs like a crazy person....none of them have contacted me as of yet...:(

I still have that Groupon for the TRX classes. Now that DS will be back in school and while I am still w/o a job, I should take advantage of them so I'll be looking up the schedule later to see when I can go. They need to be used by some time in December I believe. I purchased 10 classes I think.

Lori:: Good luck to DS on his first day of school! :) WHOA~that sounds like a suuuuper long work out you did! How long did all that weight work take you??? :eek: Probably about as much time as I spent on yoga this morning! ;):p

Diana:: Definitely give the yoga class a chance! A once weekly class is how I got into yoga back when I worked at the gym. Might just inspire you to purchase a dvd! ;) Our front porch is messed up too. The front side of the top step literally fell off and is GONE. LOL The rest of the porch is a mess as well but it's still in one piece atleast. We need to get our house up for sale but not before the porch is fixed. DH keeps saying he'll call someone in but I have yet to see that happen. :rolleyes: I would call since I'm home but I really know nothing about it. Probably better if he calls so I guess I will wait another 5 years! :p I think I've completed MIC in full 2 or 3 times. OMG, by the end of the step segment (BEFORE the blasts), I was out of energy. By the time the work out was over I was ready to KEEL over! :eek::eek: The hi/lo is tough but not so bad when you know you don't have to do the step routine afterwards! LOL

Ok, lots to do today...BBL maybe!:cool:
 
WED that is my MON ..

We went to Biloxi - had a blast - and no we are NOT winners :confused: but like Wendy didnt expect to be anyway - but I guess .. we helped pay for some storm restorations!!! :confused: and we had fun!!!:)

Lori - yayayaya DD is back in school .. OMG .. my DM would have killed me if I gave her run around like that .. I would have never been allowed out again :confused: sounds like DD had something else she wanted to do .. :eek: .. teeenagers!!! :p

Di - 10 days off .. YOWZA .. it is really back to reality for you!!

Wendy - so we both are loosers:confused: .. but hey sounds like we both had fun tho!! :eek: :D

"having something to hold on to" :confused: :confused: ummmmm he said it was a compliment .. but hhmmmm IDK :eek: :confused:.. better run .. have a great one!!!
 
Hey Girls

Believe it or not, I am enjoying a little quiet time at 5:30! I have no clue what I am having for dinner, I'm just enjoying a coffee right now. The baby took a later nap b/c he hasn't slept much today at all.

School went well, even though he says he isn't going tomorrow :eek:. I'm not surprised at all considering he didn't want to go to the sitters or preschool either. I'm a little concerned about him actually getting inside of the school though. I met him when he got off of the bus, the bell rang and all of the kids stormed off but not him...he was taking his sweet time! I know the teachers are there to help but until he gets the hang of it i think I will feel better if I go.

I went for a run with my running partner this morning, we did 11k. I may do something else tonight, depending on when the baby goes down for the night

Diana** the viper class sounds interesting. So are you back to doing insanity? Im hoping to get my other workouts this week some time. I can preview them this weekend. Hope you got everything accomplished today. I'm looking forward to some quiet time in the day...or workout time :p

Wendy** the workout didn't take as long as you might think. I think the PS workout was only 40 mins each and that included warm up and cool down which I didn't do. So it wasn't actually that long...but yeah, probably as long as your yoga. To bad you aren't hearing anything on the job front:(

Laura** hopefully you will sleep better tonight. I need to start going to bed earlier. Kids get away with a lot more then we use to and I have no one to blame but myself.

I may bbl!

Lori:)
