Damage Control May Month :)

Hi Ladies,

I opted not to workout this morning since I have run/swim scheduled for tonight.

Wendy-Nice circuit you put together for yourself missy! I'm a nail biter so I won't pay for manicures. You would think I could stop biting my nails now that I'm an adult.

Lori-Wow, you were up and out of the house early yesterday mornin'! I hated when my kids would run off like that. When we first moved into our house jerod was 2. We were all busy unpacking when I realized jerod wasn't around. He was at the next door neighbors (we don't know them yet) jumping on the trampoline in their backyard. I was a nervous wreck for the time it took us to find him.

Laura-what's on your agenda today lady?

TUE

Morning Ladies ...

It is CRAZY here - seems the full moon mood is still lingering!! ACK! Had a great time last night at the party/dinner ... could tell I had CABS last night :confused: ooops :eek:.. on a MONDAY night :p

Lori - LOL about the escaped kiddo running loose!! and YOU NOT being impressed .. LOLOLOLOLOL .. at least antiworkout baby let you get a good run in!!

Di - how far are you running today?? yes it feels good to have my running legs back .. but it appears that came at a cost of me losing my CATHE muscle endurance .. LOL

Wendy - WOW .. you put yourself thru the ringer today woman .. LOL .. sounds like AWESOME workout - woot woot!

OK .. better run...ton of work awaits .. and this dang phone wont stop ringing .. PMS monster on me and boy oh boy can I tell it!! GEESH! have a great one
 
Hi Girls:)

Again I am waiting for DH to come home so we can eat. He was meeting with someone who wanted to purchase some stuff so who knows how long he will be.

The baby only woke at 4 last night so when he woke at 7, I stayed up and got my workout in before DS had to go to speech. I did 20 mins on the tm, 10 mins on the bike, 30/30, GS Bics and PH abs. Seem like I squeezed in a lot in little over an hour.

Diana** It felt good to get out the door early yesterday morning. I love having my workout done for the day, instead of waiting all day! Its not a good feeling when you can't find your child! LOL Atleast around here we dont have to worry about someone snatching them!

Laura** Im looking forward to a night of CABS:p just not the pain the next day! Sounds like you had a nice evening!

Wendy** Whats this jibberish about you traveling in Aug??? So jealous! I can't believe Im going no where....not only that, Im home alone for 6 months!

I may bbl!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning:)

Not sure what today's workout will be yet. I was hoping for a nice day so I could run outside but it's raining a little. I also have the same client/friend coming over at 10:30 to workout do if I don't do something soon then it may have to wait until this afternoon. Tomorrow and Friday are kind of busier b/c I have a dentist appt tomorrow and DS has kinderstart Friday afternoon......I like having no plans! Lol

I will bbl to report my workout. Happy hump day everyone!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies!

I'm working from home today, getting laundry done, and taking a sick kid to the Dr. Jerod sounds terrible, feverish, achy and a sore throat to boot. Cody is also sounding the same way. It came on quickly and is spreading like wild fire through our house. I'm hoping I don't get it.

Swim class went well last night. I finally feel like I can make it through the swim distance of the tri now. One of the girls asked if I wanted to come swim with her in the morning....5am. I may give Friday morning a go, but do not anticipate being able to do that long term....nor do I want to.

I booked our trip to Maine yesterday! The image on my FB is where we will be staying. It's DH's uncles summer house...it's over 5000 sq feet right on the water.

Lori-I love my morning workouts too, but 6:30 is the earliest I want to w/o now. Hope you are able to fit your w/o in sometime today. 6 months is a long time to be without DH, but you can do it. Us cyberpals will be with you so stay strong!

Laura-We only have about 50 minutes to run. We always do a 10 min w/u and 10 c/d. The other 30 mins can be intervals, race pace, steady state...we just never know until we get to class. We run on trails in the open space next to the rec ctr and everyone goes there own way and meets back up when we're done. It sure seems as if you can't have both, muscle endurance and running legs. I've been doing circuits or total body weights during my tri training.

Wendy-so you're traveling...guess I'll have to check fb to see what you are up to.

Off to pick a w/o...bbl
 
Happy Hump Day!!!

Morning Ladies!

No workout to report - I swear - thinking for sure I have a fffn stone now! :mad: started hurting late afternoon - I went home and drank some CABS - and it eased off some - downed some water too - got better before bed - and today I am "ok" ... dammit .. have not had a stone in forever ... and we are meeting friends at casinos this weekend :mad: ugh .. so far so good today .. we will see how it goes .. I am downing water!!

Lori - sounds like you have a busy couple days coming up!!!

Di - i tell you out of everything you are training for .. thinking swimming would be hardest .. I swim like a fish .. but man it is very tiring!!! What kind of body of water will you be swimming in for the tri??

Hello to Wendy .. just where are you traveling missy????

OK .. better run .. have a good one .. not sure what today will bring - guess my stupid stupid stone will determine that!
 
Hello Ladies.

Today's work out was::

Zuzana Light - ZWOW # 13 4-12-2012 - YouTube

and

Amazon.com: Baron Baptiste - Journey Into Power Level 2: Baron Baptiste, Good Times: Movies & TV


Di/Laura:: I am going on a 7 day cruise to Bermuda in mid August with several members of DH's family. Just booked it y'day afternoon.

Laura:: Sorry about the kidney stone. Booh. That stinks. :(

Di:: Congrats on being able to complete a swim of the same distance as the tri! That's awesome! Swimming is sooo tough! A friend of mine is a nail biter. The only thing that cured her was getting her nails wrapped b/c the wraps tasted nasty so she would bite them anymore. She had acrylics for ages...like 10 years+ I think. She finally soaked them off for a while to give her nails a break for about a year and just recently had the same type of wrap put on that I've been getting (LCN). It continues to work for her even with a different type of wrap...no more biting! :)

Lori:: Oh I hate it when dinner is ready and we can't eat bc DH isn't home yet! :mad: Enjoy whatever work out you decide to do today! :)
 
Hi Girls

Just got back from a run. DD is home from school b/c the pms monster got her but she was well enough to watch DS while I ran and I took the baby with me. He slept for about 25 mins. I stopped to talk to a couple of girls I know and he woke up.
I also managed to get some house work done this morning. Will probably clean the rest if DS goes for another nap.

Laura** hope you aren't getting another stone :confused:. Nothing that a few cabs can't fix.....who am I trying to kid? I know no about of booze can help!

Diana** crossing my fingers you don't get sick. DS has a runny nose again. I'm not sure where he got this bug from , maybe preschool.

Wendy** I bet your super excited about your trip! I know I would be.

Bbl
Lori:)
 
Hi Girls,

Ended up doing SJP in its entirety. Usually this dvd is used in a longer cardio w/o including SB/SJP 90 min cardio w/o. Sticking with circuits or TB workouts for now.

Lori-glad you got your run in. You've had a very productive morning!

Laura-Oh no, hope your not getting another kidney stone. Do you know why you are prone to them? Actually, in my class the "true swimmers" complain about the biking or running. The swim for the first tri is in a pool. The other 2 I'm looking at are in open water. I need to work on my swimming endurance before I'm ready for the open water swim.

Wendy-color me jealous!! I've never been on a tropical vacation...ever. Hopefully Hawaii is in my future though. Zuzanna's w/o looked awesome. I bet the shorter intervals made it super tough though!

Back to work for me...bbl
 
Good Morning

Good night last night. The baby only woke once and that was at 3 and up again at 7:45:D Maybe he is starting to get the hang of sleeping at night;) I wouldn't count on it:confused:

We have a dentist appt this afternoon so my workout needs to be done this morning, which is the way I like it. Im not sure what I will do though. If my spin bike was put together (we won't go there) I would do a Mindy workout mixed in with a leg dvd I think. But first I am going to clean the babys room, didn't get to that yesterday and the living room and kitchen.

Diana** I haven't done that workout in ages! I was never a fan of the body blast series. I am actually in the mood to start chucking things and taking them to the goodwill. I have all of these VHS workouts that I never do...and I have nothing to play them on! I could go buy a dvd/vhs combo or I may just get rid of them. It will be less for me to pack when the time comes to move!

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori
 
Hi Ladies,

I ended up working until 9pm last night...UGH.:mad: I like being kept busy on this project, but I like to have my family time in the evenings.

No workout for this morning. I'm just too tired to be productive this morning. No worries though since I will be biking/swimming tonight. There's only 3 weeks left until the triathlon and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm hoping to do the pre tri, where we actually do the tri course and go through the transitions on June 2nd. I think I'll feel more comfortable then.

Lori-My older boys started sleeping through the night around 4/5 months. My youngest took forever it seemed. I replaced all my cathe VHS with DVD's probably 5 years ago or so. BB isn't my favorite series either, but I do like Step Blast and KPC. We've been purging a lot too. My basement looks huge since we got rid of 55" projection TV and DS1 got rid of a ton of his stuff too.

Wendy-I'll have to check out your recipe. I really appreciate you sharing all these recipes, it's gotten me into the habit of trying at least 1 new recipe a week. It is so much better than eating the same old stuff week after week.

Laura-what are you up to today? Hopefully no kidney stone issues!
 
Good Afternoon Girls.

Well I'm back from a 2 hour long food shopping trip in preparation for my son's 7th B'day party we are having in our yard on Saturday. TWO hours in the food store and the best part is that I didn't even buy everything I need!!!:eek: I couldn't find one thing on my list so I need to go to a different store for it at some point. In addition though, I only covered the food with this trip. I still have to send DH for the beverages, ice, etc on Saturday morning!:eek:

I ate lunch as soon as I finished unpacking the groceries and now I'm sitting with a cup of coffee. Once it's gone I'm gonna jump in bed for a cat nap and then hopefully I can get a short work out in before I have to go pick up DS from school!

Diana:: Regarding your post about having never been on a tropical island vacation-you need to tell your DH that this must be done PRONTO! They are soooo nice! GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!:D Happy to post the recipes I make. No trouble at all! I will post links to the food I am making for the party too at some point just incase something might look good to you! :)

Lori:: So what's the story on this spin bike? Let me guess- Putting it together is on your Dh's honey-do list and he isn't doing it!? I know what that's like! UGH! :rolleyes: Yep I am uber excited about the cruise!!! That's MUCH MORE excited then super...just so you know! ;):p LOL

Ok, the coffee cup is approaching "E" so I must get movin' to some snoozin' now. LOL

BBL or tmrw morning!:cool:
 
Bob's Workout(s) #1 and #2 back to back....DONE!!! What was I thinkin'!?:eek::D

Tmrw morning I am hoping for a quick run before the insanity of party prep begins!

That's all for now...might BBL but if not then tmrw morning!

Ciao Bellas!:cool:
 
Good Morning!:)

OMG I am S.O.R.E.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Still plannin' on that run though!;)

I'll be back when it's done!!:cool:
 
TGIF!!!

Happy Friday!!:p;):D

Today is my rest day! Had a great training class last night. We did a 14 mile bike ride and swam for 30 minutes. I'm feeling much more comfortable on my bike, shifting gears, riding with traffic etc. Hopefully soon I will be swapping out the pedals for clipless shoes/pedals. I don't want to switch until after my first tri is completed. I have 2 more lined up, but haven't signed up quite yet. Hoping a couple of the girls from my class will join me.

I'm doing the Broomfield Brawler on Sunday. It's similar to the amazing race. We are competing as a team of 4. It should great fun.
Here's a blurb about it:

What is the Broomfield Brawler?
It's a scavenger hunt or race with the same idea as a wilderness eco challenge/Amazing Race, but set right here at the Broomfield Community Center and is conducted in a few hours. First, the race stops are a secret - hence the “scavenger” part of the name. Two mandatory disciplines are utilized during the race: running and biking. There are additional disciplines that each team may come across in the race. Those disciplines could include climbing, scooter-ing/skating, navigation, and some surprises. Technically, swimming is not a listed discipline but we do reserve the right to get racers wet. We will provide all additional gear, just grab your running shoes, bikes and helmets!


Wendy-thanks for the recipes. I made 3 desserts for Mother's day, 2 from skinny taste and they were delicious. Banana Cream Pie | Skinnytaste
Skinny No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie | Skinnytaste Bet you are sore today, crazy girl!

Waving hi to Lori & Laura!!

Good Morning:)

Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. I went for a run in the morning and DS had kinderstart right after lunch. We also had friends over for dinner so I had to go to the store...the day flew by. We were suppose to go to a bday party last night but I was to tired and I also had a surprise visitor who stayed until 10:30.

We were gonna go on a RT this morning but I think we've had a change of plans. Instead we are staying home and going out for breakfast. I wanted to go for a run but its super windy out. I may go downstairs and get on the bike. Oh....I almost had it put together but the petals wouldn't go on:mad: Apparently one is reverse thread....its put together now but I still need to adjust the handle bars and the seat. I also told DS I would take him swimming this afternoon....and of course he remembered that as soon as he woke up:)

I will bbl to catch up on personals!

Lori:)
