Damage Control June :)

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies,

Thought I'd start the new months' thread!

I'm meeting my training partner this morning for a brick w/o. We are riding and biking the tri route this morning.

I'm missing weights and need to figure out a way to fit that in, even if it's only 2 FB sessions per week.

Lori-great job on the HM, your are a fast one. My training partner was here a couple nights ago and we signed up for a HM in October. My feet hurt so bad after the 10K, not sure how I got roped into this.

Wendy-glad you found your niche at the training studio! They are lucky to have you!!!

Laura-How is your DM doing? Are you getting to enjoy this weekend or is DH having you work?

Good Morning,

I know...such a slacker. My life just seems to be so hectic. The sun doesn't go down here very early and it's getting heard to get the kids in bed. By the time they go to bed, I'm right behind them.

Last week and today I have been getting up before work to run. I can't do it every day, like if DH is working nights...but I'm doing it the days I can. I also don't think my body could handle getting up at 5:15 every morning of the week. Maybe I should try going to bed earlier!

The run on Saturday was good. I had shin splits when I started but thankfully they went away. It was a route where we ran, then turned around so i knew that there was only 2 other women ahead of me. These races are pretty funny cause its the people who are decked out the most, that are the worst runners. It's so funny. There was one lady there that I figured she was off to the Olympics and she barely finished. But it was a good run. I felt like I had a good pace and I even had enough energy at the end for a sprint to the finish. Yesterday was a rest day from cardio but last night I did chest and tris.

The house is sold so that's done Glad to have that girl renting out of my hair! Other then that there isn't anything new. Kids are good but busy. We are taking out a loan for DD for a car, she doesn't know yet though. It's 6 hours away so we have to figure out how to get it.

I will try to come back tonight. When the kids go to bed I'm going to do another body part but I'm going to bed early tonight!!!

8 k run and HR abs done! Off to work I go.....

Hi Ladies,

Today is a vacation day for me to spend with the girls! We are going to The Bay which is a local water park for little kids. I took them twice last year and they really liked it and want to go again.

I must've been beat from the brick workout because I was out like a light last night and slept pretty hard.

Lori-glad you could make some time for us! Way to go on your run!!! I'm still working on my swimming and my first tri is this next weekend. I'll be glad to have it behind me. Then the real training will begin for the longer tri in August. DD will be so excited I'm sure.

Wendy-I know how important weights are and am really missing them. I'm doing a FB w/o this morning before heading to the waterpark with the girls.

Laura-hope you had a wonderful weekend.

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls

Tonight I did bics and shoulders. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow. I feel bloated though...I think TTOM is coming. I was unpacking the dish washer and I had to leave cause the sound of DD eating chips was driving me crazy! Another sign....

I'm hoping to get up tomorrow morning and do crossfire before work, I'm in the mood to do that workout. DH is working nights so I can't go for a run in the morning.

Diana** how long do you have the girls for? You must be enjoying them. It's so nice that she lets you have them for long periods of time. Only b/c of mommy anxiety but truth be known, she probably enjoys the break! When do you start your tri training??

I will try and pop in in the morning!!

Lori

Hi Ladies,

I'm trying to get in my 2 cups of coffee and head out for a run. Hoping for 5 miles this morning. It's in the low 60's right now so that's perfect for me.

Spent a few hours at the waterpark with the girls yesterday. They want to go back so we'll probably hit the water park next Monday. Oh yeah, and I did Muscle Max, and it felt really good to be lifting.

This is my last week of tri-training class and then my training partner and I will be on our own to train for the August tri. I'm actually skipping June bootcamp so I can take an Aquatic Conditioning class. It was a tough decision, but if I want to continue with triathlons I need to be more comfortable and confident in the water. I told my trainer to expect me back for July/Aug/Sep.

Lori-tri training has been in full swing since mid-April. The first tri is this weekend. The girls talk to their mom every day or every other day. DS has visitation anyway, I do think it's hard on their Mom but also a nice break too. You did awesome in your HM!! Did you even train for it or just go for it??? Either way, you were great! My training partner talked me into a HM in October.

Wendy-your w/o's are very similar in nature to our indoor bootcamps if you will. A lot of compound exercises with cardio bursts thrown in. They moved our summer bootcamp from the football field to behind the rec ctr. They've added some big tires for flipping and groomed the hill so we can run on it. Our trainer has gotten a lot of flack for moving the class from the football field that we all love. I'm sure it will still be a good class, it's just that we've used the football field for so long and we love it.

Laura-hope you were able to enjoy your weekend!

GRRRR....I had a pretty long post typed out and I lost it!

Here goes the Cliff Notes version I guess....

Last night's group training session wasn't a group after all coz only one person showed up for it! LOL It still counts though!

Tonight I am doing 2 PT appointments at the same time. That's 2 ppl with 2 different routines being done simultaneously! Lord help me! LOL

Di:: The Aquatics class sounds like a good call! Let us know how it goes! Glad you had fun at the water park. We'll be visiting Hurrican Harbor this summer with our Season's Passes. IDK how much I will go on there b/c I am a big chicken but I can get a tan on the lazy river while the others "play". I'm down with that! So why did your BC instructor move the class if everyone really liked the football field? Tire flipping? Sounds like she's going CrossFit on you!

Lori:: Well look who decided to grace us with her presence! Congrats on the race and the house! Will you be looking to upgrade in Cold Lake now that you've sold your house "back home" or planning to stay put?

Ok, posting this before it goes poof too!
BBL!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Girls! Happy Hump Day!

Well, I survived the dual training appointments last night and I happen to think I did a pretty darn good job for a beginner!

Off to get a quick work out in and get ready for work!

Be Back at Lunch!

 

[Fit_mommy]

I lied...I'm back now to post my work out!

4 rounds of this circuit:
KB squat with pause at the bottom (10 reps)
Hand to Hand Med Ball Roll in Push Up Postion (10 reps)
Sliding KB Rear Lunge Left
Sliding KB Rear Lunge Right
SB Kneeling Hand Roll Outs

and then I topped it off with this little killer tabata round:
8@10/20 of skaters and line taps

OUCH!

Hi Ladies,

Today is weigh in and I should be down another # or so based on my weight on my home scale.

Yesterday morning I did a 5 mile run and ended up doing Cathe's Ride at the rec ctr last night. It was raining and our trainer said the pool where we going to do our transitions was packed. The last tri training is tomorrow night and we'll be doing transitions again. The weather should be much nicer.

Not sure what I will be doing this morning, perhaps some weights....TBD. I was supposed to swim with my training partner, but it's only 53 degrees out....too cold for outdoor swimming for this chick!

Wendy-Wow, impressive! Not sure how I would handle 2 simultaneous training with different routines for each person. Our Boot Camp class was moved because of harrassment issues. Although it is a City Park and it is reserved by the Rec Ctr for our class, our trainer was always having to kick people off the field and sometimes even call the Police to come and hang out to keep the people off the field during our class.

Hi Lori and Laura!

[Fit_mommy]

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Thank you so much for the training kudos! You girls are da' best! It feels so great to finally be conquering the fears that have been stopping me from becoming a PT! I am on cloud nine every time I take on a new challenge (that scares the crap outta me!) at the studio and end up conquering it!

One of the gals I trained last night was telling me how many inches she's lost since joining the studio in March. AMAZING results she is getting! This guy really knows his stuff! I am proud to be a part of it and feel honored that he thinks I'm good enough to be a trainer there!

Laura:: "old age" talk? What?? You are NOT old!!!! YIKES! Those storms sound crazy scarey! Please stay safe! IDK if I asked you this before-I might have but-do you have a storm cellar...or atleast a basement that will suffice as one?? Did you hear about that 2nd tornado that blew through poor Oklahoma? They said it was 2 or 2.5 miles wide and moved at 350 miles per hour! I meant to tell you that I saw the pic of Brutus on FB and OMG he is sooo big now!!! WOW! How much does he weigh??

Diana:: I don't blame your trainer for moving then. It's not fair but I am sure she is tired of fighting a losing battle for that field. *sigh* Congrats on the scale going down! WOOT! Swimming outside in 50 degree weather??? Um, I think not! Unless I am wearing a full body wet suit!!!!!! LOL

K, lunch is over for this chic! Back to work now!

 

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies,

I leaned down to pick up the laundry basket and hurt my back yesterday. I'm so pissed. I wasn't even lifting, simply leaned over to grab the laundry basket. Icing it now but may give cardio a try this morning to get the blood moving.

Yesterday I did CLB! I was a sweaty mess. It was after my workout was finished that I decided to bring the basket of folded clean clothes upstairs and tweaked my lower back.

Wendy-I'm so proud of you. You've always mentioned how shy you were around others, but you are following your dream of being a PT and are totally Rocking It!!!

Laura-you are not old, but just guessing they may suggest you get off the pill if that's your case. Our temps have been all over, from 60's-80's. We swim around 6am and it's still pretty cool out...too cold for this chick to swim outside anyway. Booh on have to cancel vaca plans. I've been thankful for the cloudy overcast mornings that make for good running temps.

Lori-so has your housemate moved out yet? You are such a generous person. I wouldn't want someone living with my family. I have my own routine and don't want to have to keep them company. Sounds pretty rude as I type it, but if their not family I probably wouldn't be interested in letting them stay with us.

Gotta Run...bbl

TGIF!!!

Woo Hoo for Friday!!!! I have been in testing hell the past few days. So glad the testing is over now just praying the deploy goes as planned. Enough Shop Talk.

I didnt' workout this morning because I had to be at work early to finish up my testing. I'll probably do something containing both cardio & weights tomorrow....and the Tri is on Sunday. My back is still bothering me, can't believe I hurt it again. Damn old age must be kickin in.

Laura-sorry the tropical storm is causing you to change your vacation plans. Nice job on the interval run. It's supposed to be in the 90's on Tri Day, thankfully my heat starts at 8:10 and I should be done by 9:30 ish before it gets hot.

Wendy-saw on FB that you are going to the horse races. Can't wait to see your KD hat! Sounds like you work for a fun company!!!

Lori-What have you been up to besides FB! Just kidding. Are the kids done with school for the summer? Jerod is out of school but has football camp for 2 weeks and then his summer weight lifting program starts.
