DAMAGE CONTROL--Monday--Wendy/Lori Intervention! :)

[LauraR]

OK. This is the peace-keeping intervention thread. JK!! Does "damage control" have a double meaning today?

Diana--I used to think sports drinks were just a bunch of hype and turned up my nose. But they really did make a difference on STS. Sometimes it was the difference between being able to finish or not! I love Nuun.

If you manage to tack on cardio after an STS disc, kudos to you!! I entertained visions of adding on something after an STS disc a couple times and then realized the folly of my ways!

I already did my run. (It's 9am here.) It was another great one. I kept my rest intervals the same but increased my running intervals by 2 minutes each. I still felt strong. I am so thrilled. I had begun to despair of ever making it to a full 3miles without walking, but the goal is in sight!!

Good Morning and thank you, Laura for playing referee and keeping Lori and I from fighting.

Today is my rest day. I would have actually loved to work out this morning but I didn't. I am overdue for a rest day (worked out 8 days in a row) and don't want to pay for it so I'm forcing a rest.

My lower body is STILL talking to me a little bit over Disc 3 and now I have DOMS in my upper body from doing Disc 1 y'day! Hurts so good though, doesn't it!? My weight increases in Disc 1 were minimal but made a big difference. Because I am not using 1Rm's this time, I think the 6 month rotation is a good choice b/c it gives me that extra week to get my weight choices right if I was a bit off on th first go-around!

So there's another possibly large snow storm heading my way tues night into wednesday! You'd think I lived in freakin' Buffalo NY, not coastal NJ.

Diana:: So is your job open today? I am hoping for a snow day on Wednesday now! Thanks re the success story. I'm very excited about the tower. Just have to figure out where to store it now. I am hoping the pieces will fit under my bed.

LauraR:: Thanks re the success story. We must compare Push Pull Tower stories when we get them! LOL

Lori:: I wish I had a "before" pic to send in but all of my computers have crashed and I've lost all of my older pics except for ones of Joey from when he was a baby that we were smart enough to print out. Oh well. Perhaps that's a good thing though!

Time to hit the showers! BBL from work.

Good Morning!

Love the thread title! Yes....a good intervention is what we need cause Wendy is so hard to get along with!

I had a very early start to my day. DS went the bed (which he hasn't done in a while) and I don't think he went back to sleep after. That was at 3:47! I went back to sleep but it wasn't good sleep. I had training sessions at 6:30 and 7:30...another one very soon and one girl just cancelled for this afternoon. That's o.k though cause it gives me plenty of time to do some other stuff. I will get my own workout in later and everyone is getting clean sheets in their bed!

Laura** Nice run. I always mix my runs up when I am on the TM. Its just to boring. I use to watch movies as well. I haven't done that in a while. It would have to be a scary movie though!

Wendy** Enjoy your rest day! See...we are getting along better already! We had snow here last night. It probably won't last long b/c its raining now.

I need to catch up on yesterday's thread...I will bbl!

Hi Ladies,

I go back to work today. I'm trying to be positive about it. I already dropped DS at school, and DS2 left with the girls-my SIL is watching them today, and DH has left for work. There was a lot of commotion going on this morning.

My workout this morning will be DWP. I need something short and effective today. My shoulders are sore from Chest, Shoulder and Biceps yesterday, as well as KS Absolute Kickboxing using a 15# body bar for the combat drills. I need a lighter one...or several for that matter.

LauraR-glad you are seeing improvements in your running. Do you work? If so, what kind of work do you do? Normally if I'm doubling up on my w/o's I split them up, one in the morning and one at lunch. Since I've been home, it's just easier to do them back to back.

Wendy-I think I've worked out for 8 days straight too. I need to check my calendar this morning. We only have about 6" of snow so my office is open. DH drove my car and left me his 4WD-Nice! I have an alero and it is front wheel drive. Its just too light and slides too easy for my liking. I'm hoping to get my own 4WD next year when Jerod starts driving. I want a smaller SUV, something like the Honda CRV or Nissan Rogue.

Lori-You have a busy day planned. Clean sheets...I miss them. I haven't washed sheets since the girls have been here. Almost embarrassing to admit.

Morning LauraT and Jacque!

Diana,

We considered a Honda CRV when I was buying my Civic but I was cheap and didn't want to have the higher car payments. The less my car payment is, the more $$$ I have to spend on fitness stuff!!

Getting back to work today for you will be a bit yucky I am sure after all that time off but you should be back in the swing before long. Hopefully you have an easy day today.

6 inches of snow isn't bad if they do a good job of removing it. It doesn't take much to make traveling a nightmare if it's not cleaned up right!

I love Absolute KB. It's the KS work out I reach for the most.

Hey Ladies,

My day is pretty laid back! My boss is out until tomorrow and I've been creating some documents my boss requested before I went out on medical leave.

I did manage DWP this morning and didn't have any foot pain. All the air jacks, jump squats, scissors etc....no pain. I'm supposed to wait 2 more weeks before doing any impact...if it's not hurting..why not go for it! I do have to say that the 2nd round of DWP, boy was I suckin' air big time.

bbl

 

[Fit_mommy]

Diana...That's the thing with DWP. First round it doesn't seem so bad (almost too easy!) but once she starts that second pyramid cycle, OH MY GOSH, I die! Glad you are having an easy first day back!

Hey Girls,

Ended up having a pretty easy day! My 1:30 cancelled so I didn't have anyone this afternoon. I did my workout which was 25 mins on the TM, 20 mins on the bike and abs. I have the decorations off of the tree I said I was going to take down on Fri and that is as far as I got. AND I had a little snooze...but DS is still going strong! I don't know where he gets the energy from.

Laura** I don't really consider taking down a tree relaxing but with everything else I do, it just seems like to be home and not have other people in my home! Hoping to get that tree down tonight and vacuum that room.

Wendy** I was gonna say, that you wanted smaller payments on your car b/c of workout dvds! LOL I think we are gonna trade the jeep in this spring and get a car. No point now with all this white stuff!

Diana** Retirement.....about that....LOL. I guess I won't be retiring anytime soon if I have to live off my savings! Hehe! And its a good thing I have a 2nd job b/c the bills keep coming in. DH bought new tires for his truck that need to be paid and oil for the furnace, in the GARAGE! Not the house So I need to get rid of those two bills...ASAP. Glad to hear you are having a good day at work.

Hello to Laura and Jacque...come out,come out..wherever you are!

Laura, Your ice is gonna be my snow come Tues night into Wed! Could be another bad one for us! Not as bad as the day after Christmas but bad enough!

Lori, Little kids are just natural energizer bunnies, I swear! I don't know how my does it either at times! I'll be heading in for a nap on the weekends and he'll be filled with pi$$ and vinegar! I think it's because we work out with Cathe and they don't.

Wendy-How did you get the STS ticker? I wanted to add that and the weightloss one. Thanks
