Damage Control....Hump Day

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Ladies.

Today's work out will be Rio Extreme which is the deluxe version of Sculpt. It's a weight work and cardio circuit. Looks good and saves me from trying to squeeze in a short cardio. What could be better!?

I feel pretty normal this morning but I am going to continue taking Airborne today, just to be safe. It can't hurt.

Lori:: So what's your work out going to be this morning?

Diana:: I ordered just the deluxe discs from www.totatfitnessdvds.com. Beachbody sells those discs with the bands and ankle weights if you want them. Hope DS21 got home safely last night!

Laura:: Glad you are enjoying BBL! I love it! I will be starting month 2 soon with the new work outs!!!!

Jacque:: Yup, slept great the last 2 nights, no Nyquil neccessary! Love the change of season from winter to spring but it sure does wreak havoc on some peoples bodies!

That's all for now but I'll be back!

Good Morning!

Up and on the go. Kinda...sorta! Coffee seems to be disappearing so I should change into my workout duds. Not 100% sure what I am doing yet. I haven't decided if I will do a circuit workout or weights first, run after. Still haven't done legs in a while Oh dear...Im gonna get out of shape, I can just feel it!

Wendy** So you feel "normal" today...interesting! LOL Have a good workout!

I will bbl! I did personals last night so I have caught up on everything!
Have a good hump day everyone!

Hello Again.

So Rio Extreme was good. Very cardio intensive. It was a little light on some of the body parts where the weight lifting is concerned. I think Sculpt does a better job that but there is always Upper Cuts to pick up Rio's slack to that end so it's all good. I did not have time to try Upper Cuts this morning but I am going to try to add it in to my routine tmrw.

Good Morning Ladies,

Well we got about 10" of snow and the roads are pretty messy in the neighborhood. All the schools are closed etc. I should probably try to make my way in to work, but I will be letting my boss know I will be working from home today. The kids and I will start the shoveling when they get up. It's a heavy-wet snow and is going to be tough to shovel.

Just after I posted about DS1 and not knowing where he was, he called. He was out with some friends for his birthday dinner. They all stopped in at the house for a bit, picked up some DVD's and headed to a friends to watch movies all night long. At least he has 4X4.

Well I kinda have my mind made up to do KPC today. I like that it includes abs, and all that kicking should work some of the soreness out of my legs.

The new step I ordered comes with lowmax. Do any of you girls need this dvd? I already have it and would be willing to send it to any of you.

Oh-the airport stopped all incoming flights last night and the news said about 5000 people spent the night in the airport. Most flights are already booked solid due to spring break and getting all those people accomodated could take several days. The weather is supposed to be in the high 40's tomorrow so there will be a lot of snow melt. Friday is supposed to be in the mid 50's. Hope the fast melting doesn't cause any flooding.

Lori-I doubt you're going to get out of shape Right now your focus is on training for your marathon. My recommendation would be to stick to endurance w/o's for your legs, but only once or twice a week.

Wendy-glad you are feeling better, I am too. I have to ask, is BBL anything like Jari Love or Debbie Siebers (slim in 6)? I'm going to check out the site you sent, hopefully they have a little preview of the w/o. It sounds to me like these deluxe dvd's are just what you need for your a.m. w/o's.

Happy Hump Day Ladies !

Well I dogged myself last night and didn't workout again ! Went shopping after work and by the time I got home the Sharks game was on a channel we DO get so watched it. Plan was to have dinner while the game was on but DH ended up making phone calls that he should have done when he was not working (which is lots lately) so I was pretty much asleep right after dinner.

My body has switched it's sleeping habits yet again and I am now falling asleep early and waking early. Dang it is hard to keep up with !

Wendy - good to hear you like the deluxe set. Read that some liked only a couple of them but seems that at least one was popular with most. Nice to hear you are feeling better too - no Nyquil - good job !

Lori - When I ran my one and only 10K they gave us oodles of product samples. Good that there are lots out there so you can use what you want. Well the best laid plans for a slow day y'day, huh ! Maybe today ?

Diana - that snow had better not stop you from coming out on Friday ! Good to hear you are all safe with that much coming down so fast. Especially since it rained first and probably created lots of ice? Hope you enjoyed KPC - hopefully I get my behind in gear and get to it tonight !
(Cathe just posted the class itinerary if you haven't been checking the SD RT posts.)

Have a great day girls !

Hey Girls!

Boss is gone for lunch! Woo Hoo! Sometimes he leave, sometimes he doesn't. Cool thing is, he has moved his office to the back of the building. Not sure why he did this b/c there are 2 offices right next to the main area...unless he doesn't want to anyone to hear his conversations? Who knows..but its o.k!

I should have some DOMS in my UB later today. I did PH and BM2 UB and then 4 miles on the TM. I also did PH abs. My running partner just called and apparently the weather on Fri is suppose to be nice so we may do our 29k then and have it out of the way.

Diana** We are suppose to get snow sometime today. Im not sure how much but I hope its not what you got You can keep it! I have LM and never use it. I don't do step workouts very often. Todays run was a mixture of hills and intervals, something I haven't been doing lately and need to. Hope you enjoyed KPC! Oh and heavy wet snow is the worst! You will get a good UB workout pushing that around...but don't hurt yourself!

Laura** Sounds like you have a super busy day today. Imagine if you had little ones running around or little ones that you had to drag with you! Errands are a real chore when you have to take someone in and out of the car seat! I think the annoying one will be back next week. Im not sure if she was the worst or the 2 with the chip on their shoulder, the mom and daughter combo. Man...they were so mad all the time. Im really not sure who is gonna win in this year. I have a feeling it will be one of the cousins.

Jaqcue** No workout yesterday?? Tut-Tut! Did you buy anything good? Any clothes? Today will be quieter b/c I am working Not nearly as much to do here as there is at home!

So Im not sure if I mentioned this yesterday but DD had the bright idea to open something with her teeth on Monday! Seriously? Are you kidding me?? While we were waiting at her eye appt she shows me her front tooth. Shes kinda like.. "oh yeah, I chipped my tooth last night" As if it was no big deal. So now its off to the dentist tomorrow. Im not sure what he will do with it or how much it will cost me. Thankfully I have insurance for eyes and she does need glasses. Glasses and exam were $291 and it only cost me $41! Pretty good. Now her teeth on the other hand? Who knows. He will have to do something with it, even though its not big the enamel is now chipped.

On another note ( Im sorry this is so long) my "friend" the business partner that I am not really close to anymore....well, I have been trying to contact her via blackberry and she isn't returning my messages. She told DH that she hasn't gotten any but she is a tropper at lying and I know she received them. When you send a message through bb, when its delivered a "d" comes up next to the message and when its been read a "r" comes up next to it. The last time I spoke with her was about 4 weeks ago at one of her kids parties and we were fine. The relationship as been very strained over the past year so things aren't the way they use to be but for business purposes we have to talk for goodness sake. Anyway, i sent her a message yesterday telling her that I was gonna call her last night. She didnt read it until earlier today and she didn't respond. I then wrote her again saying " alright then, I can only assume you don't want to talk to me?" I then deleted my side of it so I don't know if she ever read it. Im a bit annoyed by this cause Im not sure why she is ignoring me. Anyway...just had to vent. There is really no way to solve this problem. I am done trying to talk to her.

well I had to cancel the hair apnt .. just no way to get everything done .. tmrw is not only DH 50th bday .. but my bosses 65th .. .. and I have been so messed up at work and stressed out I realized we had not bought him anything .. so DH met me and we shopped at lunch .. before that I managed to go by bank in which the stupid@$$ teller was a new one and didnt want to cash my credit union personal check .. even though I was giving her our account number for that bank.. she wasnt typing it right I repeated it 3 times .. then asked for my SS# .. UGH .. i am RARELY rude .. but come on now .. I have banked there for 35 years now .. GMAFB .. then went to gas station and more STUPID@$$E$ not knowing how to park their cars correctly in order for someone else to get to the empty gas pumps . . had them blocked then while shopping DH followed me around I couldnt get his "little gifts" or candles for his cake .. aaaarrrrrggggg .. geesh I am gonna have a stroke before 5 o clock rolls around!!!!!

{{ deep breaths }}

Lori .. I have a friend just like what you described .. she always uses her kids as excuses or being busy or forgetting .. or not getting the message ... as a reason not to return calls or meet up w/us (always an excuse .. always.. that is WHEN we get the "privilege" in speaking w/her .. and yes I am being sarcastic) .. when in reality we all know it is the 10 year younger insecure boyfriend .. ARG .. but she got to where she would not get together with us .. return calls .. so we pretty much let her be ... it was obvious she didnt have time for us .. or if she did .. didnt want to be around us .. sooooooooo she got what she wanted .. she calls ONLY when her and the boyfriend are fighting .. or she wants something .. but I feel your pain .. and it is soooooo annoying .. especially when you cant verbally express your dissapointment or anger .. but the way I think about it .. is .. it is her loss .. and whatever the reason she has for the distance that is the way she wants it .. you TRIED .. and leave it at that .. ??

Hi Ladies,

Well the sun is shining and the snow is melting....WOO HOO!!! I walked outside barefoot to the mail box and it is beautiful.

DH is making green chile and it smells delicious. We are having smothered burritos tonight!

KPC is done and I feel great. It is so nice to finally feel up to a cardio w/o. Tomorrow I'm planning on doing CCC. That's what I was supposed to do when I got sick. I also just read the w/o itinerary for the weekend, and CCC is one of the w/o's. This is not one of my best performances....LOL

Laura-Sorry you having such a stressful day. I think you do plenty to kick up your metabolism, after all exercise is your stress relief! Hope you get a chance to run your errands tonight for DH. I hate waiting until the last minute too.

Lori-sounds to me like you've done your due diligence...her loss and don't waste anymore of your time worrying about it. Life is too short.... If she decides to contact you that's fine..but don't worry about it.

Jacque-I just checked the w/o schedule, CCC OMG! Not one of my best w/o's. I struggle with some of the core work. I use my step for the roll backs and jumps. I'm really looking forward to the bootcamp on the beach!

BBL
