Damage Control...Memorial Day Monday

[Fit_mommy]

Hello Ladies.

Wow, I slept until almost 8 this morning! Incredible for me!

So a work out never happened y'day because I made the mistake of deciding to "do it later" instead of banging it out b4 anything else in the morning. DH was not home and Joey and I were going to be going out by his pool. I normally would make him wait until I was done exercising but for some reason I was feeling guilty about that y'day and felt the need to take him outside first. Well, before I knew it the day had gotten away from me and I was out of time for a work out! We had fun though. Spent about 2 hours outside in the sun while Joey enjoyed his pool and then spent a little time at the park and ended the day going out for dinner with DH. Good day over all.

Today I intend to spend time by the pool again...coz I can but I will NOT go out until the w/o is DONE! I also have a lot of housework to do coz I pretty much blew it off all w/e since I knew I had the extra day to catch up.

Today's work out will include everything...upper body (1rm's), lower body (orig tonique lunge segment), cardio (thinking of power circuits from BM2 cause that's what I was going to do y'day), plus either upper or oblique ab work. I may omit inner thigh lifts today as they are really tight. We'll see how they feel after the rest of the work out is done.

Okay, enough babbling. BBL with personals! Have a great day!

Hello..... *Looking around*....lol I'm going to try and post for Lori...she asked one of us copy and paste her results.


Hey Girls!
Checking in with one sore set of legs! I won't bother with personal cause I need to read them and I'm not at a computer. Just thought you guys would like to hear about the race.

I started out strong, which was my first mistake. I should have found the 3:40 pace bunny and stuck with him. Instead I was cruising along, thought I was doing ok..until I hit that wall, which was shortly after the half way mark. Then by the time I got to the 28k mark my legs were on fire. I had to take multiple stops and walk. I lost a lot of time by doing this. Next thing I know the 3:40 bunny passed me, then the 3:45 bunny passed me and I thought there's no way that 3:50 bunny is passing me. I probably set my sights to high and I shouldn't have expected so much out of myself. How do you know what to expect when you've never done it before? I think if I had stuck with the 3:40 bunny the whole way, I would have made it. I know its not a bad time and I placed 48 out of the women my age and 193 out of all the women and I would imagine there were atleast 2500 women there. Then...my running partner ran pass me. I'm not going to lie, this was tough on my ego b/c I am the faster runner. All the mistakes she made the 1st time, I made yesterday. She wanted to know if we wanted to cross the finish line together but I couldn't keep up with her either. By this time my legs were on fire!! So she went on but only finished 45 second ahead of me.
I feel good about it though. I accomplished something I never thought I would. And believe it or not..I am looking forward to the next one!!
We are pcking now to head home. We don't leave until 6 pm so we still have all day to roam around.

Would someone be able to copy this and post it on the Damage Control thread??

Thanks and I will be checking in tomorrow morning from HOME!!

Lori

Good Morning Ladies !

Happy Memorial Day and extra day off from work ! Well y'day I did my "planned workout" = nothing . . . but did do Clean Max, walk around the festival (with DH, DS1 & GK's) and go out with DS1 & DD & friends for her 21st BDay. A bit embarassing as she introduced me as "The Mama - isn't she HOT ! ?" to all who did not know me - including random people at the bar who wished her a HBD. She is always like that - you need to have a tough skin around her because nothing is sacred to her - she speaks her mind no matter how embarassing it may be. Oh well, she enjoyed herself and I'll have to hear how she ended up later. This old lady made it to 1:30 AM ! Amazed myself I did ! Didn't drink while I was out as I had a long way to drive home but enjoyed it none the less. Met lots of her friends (very different but then so is she - I'll post a few pics when she gets them to me) and they are pretty much 'real friends' so it is good for her.

Today is supposed to be 90' so will be cleaning the carpets since they will dry quickly. If I get to a w/o today it will be MMA Boxing with my new weighted gloves. I am still mildly sore from CCP and Push Pull Sat so I'm not too worried about whether I get one in or not.

Wendy - sounds like you had a fantabulous day y'day ! We "Working Women" need to enjoy that extra day off work when we can. Take it from an oldie - life is too short. I did the same thing when I was not working - made life fun for my kids and did the dishes/chores when I was home and had the time. They remind me of how much they enjoyed the things we did so it is good ! Now I do the same, but work gets in the way of getting my chores done sometimes ! Too bad I say !

Pinny150 - thank you for taking the time to post for Lori. We

our little energizer bunny and are so proud of her !

Lori - Nice job young lady ! LOL at not letting the 3:50 pace bunny pass you ! Did your friend tell you her "secrets" before the race? Hey, you finished and finshed well - you know now what to do and I'm sure you will break your PR next time ! How did shopping go? And more importantly, how are your legs today?

Diana - guessing you had a great day since you haven't made it here yet? Hope you enjoyed your family vist - what's on tap for you today?

Okie dokie - off to get cleaning . . .

Hi ladies,

Well I need to get my butt in gear and do something today...w/o, clean house, do laundry and go shopping. Since I was a sloth the last two days I have to do everything today. What was I thinking?

Had a pretty good time at my step-mom's yesterday. It was nice visiting with my uncle from Nevada, and another aunt/uncle were also there. We had a nice time.

For my workout I'm leaning towards a circuit, either HST or one of the Terminator w/o's. I feel the need to get both in today but don't want to spend all day doing it.

I'm considering registering for a HM in September. I've ran it numerous times and I really like it. Since I'm struggling trying to get back into running I thought this would help. I also need to come up with a rotation for the next month. I do so much better when my w/o's are planned out. I may just try to write up my own.

Wendy-nice, sleeping in is awesome. I've been late to bed and early to rise Fri and Sat, but I too slept in this morning. It's quite motivating seeing that you already finished your w/o. I may be ready for another round of STS so let me know when you decide to start. Enjoy your day by the pool!

Pinny-thanks for the update on Lori!

Jacque-do you have any plans for today? Did all your kids make it by your place yesterday?

Time for me to finish up this coffee and get busy.

MAJOR VENT TIME ! ! ! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH ! ! !

So I get my carpet cleaner out to clean the carpets and it DOES NOT WORK ! ! !

DH loaned it to some of our more irresponsible friends - thinking they have not even vacuumed their carpets for years. You should see how dirty the thing is and now it will not spray or suck up water. I was playing with it and it left a pool of water on my carpet - nothing sucking up.

Can you say pi$$ed off ! ! ! Like I have the $$$ to go buy another one for $300 ! ! ! He had better not be working all day today cuz now he needs to try to fix it. Not like he would even ask them to do it or even replace it. Don't know why he lectures me on how great he is at telling people's personalities - he should know how they live their lives. He always calls this guy and takes him to the hockey games - even has to take water for him. Don't get it but am FURIOUS ! ! !

Okie dokie - done with rant - off to MMA Boxing. Sure wish I had a punching bag !

Hi Ladies,

I finally got a workout in and feel much better about things. I did HST and abs from one the new Jillian w/o's. I also previewed the BFBM and No More Trouble Zones. I didn't realize one was cardio and the other was weights when I purchased them. At any rate, it's time to throw them into the mix.

Tomorrow I may try to run in the morning as the temps will be close to 90, way too hot for me to run outside at lunch. I also have to drop Jerod off at the high school around 6:45am! He is starting the summer w/o program and then the following week he has 2 weeks of High School football camp. This is why I may need to get my w/o's in much earlier than I am accustomed to. That means no more working until 6pm either, DH would like that.

DH will be cooking ribeyes on the grill and I'm making a nice salad and steamed veggies to go with it. Sounds delicious.

Jacque-looks like we were posting at the same time again! Sorry to hear your steam cleaner isn't working. Sounds like they didn't bother cleaning it when they were done with it. Have DH clean the carpets, he has more free time than you do. Tell him you tried, it's not working and the folks he lent it to didn't bother to clean it....{{{Hugs}}}, frustrating for sure.

So I got my MMA in the DVD player with the TV on and thought . . . check online for troubleshooting . . . did everything on there but take the heater apart - funny it works for a minute and then not.

Diana - we must be on the same vibe these days as it seems you were here just a couple mins ago? Nice job on the w/o - I love the Jillian's as they are compound and though they don't strengthen my muscles much, they keep them toned while getting the cardio factor in there. Dinner sounds scrumptious - that's what we had Fri nite. Well DH is supposed to be working all week this week - but this coming weekend is supposed to be hot again. I may actually try a Honey Do list again and see how far it gets. Today he was going to work a short day and fix the leaking pipes in the back. Has most of my water supply shut off and it is a pain to water what I DO have hooked up to drip system. Now I'm watering everything by hand. Time I wish I could use elsewhere.

You just may inspire me to w/o early in the AM also . . . keep putting that in front of me - I'll be watering after work now with no rain anyway and that way I KNOW I'll get my w/o in. DH has actually been looking to eat earlier since he isn't busy at night anymore and gets his computer play time overwith during the day so may be able to get our schedules synched for when our corp moves outta town.

Anywhooooooooo . . . just about ready to hit the front gardening. Sipping (at times only ! ! !) a wine cooler to help me make it through my frustrating day and am heading out for some sunshine, rototilling and planting.

Chatty day for me . . . combination of the entire weekend . . . makes me feel better . . . *sends apology for using the checkin board for a journal today*.
