Good Morning!:)

Im guessing no one really likes Mondays? I don't today b/c I have to work but next week, I will love Mondays:p

I set my alarm to workout before work but I had no clue what I was going to do. I can't do another interval run b/c I won't have a knee left:eek: so I think I am going to do a circuit workout, including the TM but my runs will just be steady state. I was hoping to go outside for my run but of course, its raining again. Im not sure if this is another tail end of a hurricane or not. I think we were suppose to be "Bob" at some point in time. Thankfully we didn't get any rain in our basement again yesterday. DH was certain that we would. Im not sure who did...Im sure someone did though. Our problem on this St is that we live at the bottom of a hill, so everything from the st's above us, runs down and the drainage system they have on this st is no different then any other st. The water is suppose to run out into the pond that is behind us but that doesn't happen b/c the system the stupid town put in place:mad: The ditch behind our house was FULL Of water yesterday, almost level with the road. Thats why DH was so certain that we were going to get water. He took pics and will take them to the town. Anyway.....

Jen** I remember having very bad periods but my mom wouldn't put me on the pill. God forbid she would have her 15 yr old daughter on BC! I grew up in a very religous home. DD wasn't to bad later in the day. It was just in the morning but she as been so bad that she as passed out and throwen up. I don't even know if she would remember taking a pill to tell you the truth! LOL
Have a good workout this a.m!

I will bbl today. I am working with my boss today so I probably won't get much computer time. He bought a house and is fixing it up to sell...prehaps he as someone working for him today so he can go work on his house! I WISH!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Friends. :)

Visit at the inlaws was nice y'day. All three of us were tired though (DH, DS and I). When we got home, DS watched tv in his room until lights out at 8:30. Quite frankly I am surprised he didn't pass out before that. DH and I laid on the couch and I was sleeping there until we moved to the bedroom at 9 where I promptly went back to sleep until 6am. DH and I are gettin' old. Can't take multiple days of partyin' back to back like we used to. ;) It's still fun to TRY once in a while though! :D

As for the party related weight gain, one pound down as of this morning, 1-2 to go. :)

Y'day was a complete rest day so on my "scheduled" one coming up on wednesday I will do what I SUPPOSED to do y'day.

Today is Cardio Power and Resistance and I may add a short ab routine on at the end.

Jacque:: I no longer have the PH dvd but yeah, that's a toughie for sure! So how's the doggy? Let us know when you get an ETA on your INSANE shipment! Congrats again on taking the plunge!!! You are in Cali. I would think you'd get it quick! Heck, I got it here in Jersey only 2 days after it shipped!!!

Lori:: LOL at your beer pong story. They didn't play a million games and you didn't have to chug the beer either so it wasn't too bad. I only played one game of that. The flip cup game was far worse as we were chugging with that one! It was alot of fun though. :) Yes, I preordered Shock Cardio at the tail end of the very first round of pre-order pricing. I probably shouldn't have as DH was laid off at the time :eek: but I did it anyway. That little bit of money in the grand scheme of things made no difference and we were cutting back in every way possible besides so it was fine. Ofcourse, I didn't TELL him what I did so shhhhhh! LOL :p

Diana:: Ooh Ooh Ooh! Today's the day girl! The packaging is really neat. It looks like a hard cover book. HAVE FUN!!!!! Glad you had a nice dinner for your B'day! Sounds delish! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! :) Bad experiences with drinking have yet to stop me. Sorry about yours. I know DH had so many with tequila in particular that he hasn't touched the stuff in years! Just the smell of it (totally sober) makes him wanna gag. LOL

Laura:: I hear you on the sore calves. Mine were sore for the first several days. I can still feel it during parts of the work outs but for the most part I am ok now. Glad you enjoyed it. I just KNEW that you would!!!! :D

Jen:: So you are goin' sober through Insanity? Not a bad idea though I don't know if I can do it! :p:D I love having a perm b/c rain, humidity and the like really don't bother it much. If my hair were still straight FORGETTABOUTIT!!!! Yeah that DJ was NOT painful on the eyes. LOL

Well, guess that catches me up for now but I'll be back!:cool:
 
Popping in between household chores/cleaning. Thought perhaps someone else would have stopped by but I guess not so I'll be back later! :cool:
 
Good morning girls!

Checkin' in before my hellish day back at work starts. Got out for a six mile run this morning. It wasn't very satisfying though. It was kind of cold and I never felt really warmed up. It felt like I was running the first mile through all six. I should have dressed warmer than I did. Nonetheless, it's done and over with, so it's all good.

Lori: Don't even get me started on water in the basement, ugh! I hate that. I have a 50 year old house and the basement is old and musty and gross as it is, but when you add water, which is often the case, it's disgusting.

Wendy: Yup, sober through Insanity! And you have all witnessed me say it, so feel free to shame me if I slip up ;) I hear you on the back to back partying days...I find it exhausting and try to avoid it if I can. We had that party Saturday night and then took a jaunt to the casino for a few hours yesterday, and we're both dragging our butts today just from that. And there was no alcohol involved yesterday! Talk about getting old :rolleyes: Got my shipping notice today that gave me an ETA of September 7th. Hoping it gets here sooner though!

Hello to everyone else! I'll bbl as I'll probably need frequent mental breaks today~

Jen
 
Hey Girls!

Workout for today is complete. I did a 51 mins run outside. It got a little brighter outisde while I was posting earlier so I decided steady state run was a better idea. Im guessing I ran about 10 kms or so. Whatever it is, it is now:)

I just checked my tracking number for one of my parcels and it said "on route to delivery":) Sad thing is...Im not home and I have a feeling I will have to pay duty at the door. DD doesn't have any money at home, so I will have to pick it up at the postoffice later today or tomorrow. I have a feeling both of them will be arriving around the same time.

Wendy** DH still doesn't know that I ordered the Insanity series. Perhaps I should have told him this past weekend cause I think I could have done anything and gotten away with it. I was soo mad at him on Sat, that he was like a little puppy all weekend:confused: What is it with men when you tell them you don't care what they do...thats when they stay home? Im sure his fishing isn't over with yet but I think I calmed him down a bit cause he was getting out of control.
I will be heading to bed early tonight. I didn't want to get up at 6 when I did but I knew I wouldn't get a workout in tonight if I didn't.

I will bbl!
Lori:)
 
Jen** We were posting at the sametime:) Im guessing my weather was nicer then yours today...how odd is that? It was a little chilly and I didn't take my coat off the whole time but I could have if I had went much further. When I was running , I was thinking " I can't believe I will soon have to wear mits again!":rolleyes: Hopefully your day at work will fly by!

Lori:)
 
Morning to all !

Well last night SIL called wanting me to bid on some ebay items for her so that cut into my workout time a bit. Hit the TM for CC#3 rather than CCPP and did 40 min interval run. Very short sprints so went high, hills went double higher than usual - was E X H A U S T E D when I was done and actually fell asleep after that. DH woke me just before 9 to say dinner was ready. :rolleyes:

Fell right back to sleep about 10 and woke at 5 so guess what I did . . . the first half of today's workout which is 4DS Kickbox. It is still about 75 in the house so was a sweaty mess. Now all I have after work is leg weightwork. Woo Hoo - want to work on the trim that I hung yesterday since DH finally put in two more doors. Got it nailed up now need to patch, sand and paint.

Lori - Always easy to find out checkin when you post with your CaPs tossed in there ! :p Man I think I'd have a coronary if I didn't have at least 6 months of nice rain free weather a year. Sorry it is cutting into your runs - but at least the house is dry ! Hope that work isn't too bad so you can at least play on the comupter today ! ;)

Well you popped back in on me girl ! Yea for the run and the rain stopping - can't you leave some $ for DD to use to get your parcel? I think I'd call in sick - JK but :rolleyes: :p

Wendy - LOL about getting old - I couldn't believe I fell asleep after my run at about 7:30 ! :eek: The good part is old people usually wake up early in the AMs too ! :p I remember my grandparents going to bed early and being up with the chickens - even when they moved from the farm and didn't have cows to milk ! Ha ! I'll check to see if I get my delivery notice at lunch time - sure hope I get it quickly so we can get a rotation started !

Jen - great job getting in your run this AM - I'm a wimp and only run when it's nice outside ! :rolleyes: That's why I bought a TM ! :p It is a better workout on the road though. So I'm not sure I could do the no CABs for 60 days but can try since you are. I will probably get some non-alcohol beer - found Kaliber when we went away for the weekend, supposedly .5% alcohol but just as many cals as a MGD64. Darker and more flavorful though so must be more carbs. Won't be hard if it cools down though, it's just that a cold beer is so refreshing when it's hot. Hope work isn't too bad for you and you have time to check in here during the day to give us some laughs !

Off to hit the shower and wash my hair . . .

BBL girlies !
 
Oh the joys of house cleaning and laundry. NOT! lol

I am waiting for my snack to digest and then I will hit the ground running with CP & R. After that, a shower, lunch and then it's off to Chuck E Cheese's for the final time (for a looooong time! ;)) before school starts on Thursday. The rest of the day's plan is YTBD. I wish it were nicer out. I'd like to take Joey to the park. Perhaps I still will. There's no sun but as long as it's not raining and isn't super hot and/or muggy it can still happen so we'll see.

Jacque: Now you KNOW you had an AWESOME work out when you fall asleep after it! I remember coming home from my long training runs or races on weekends, eating something and passing out for a bit. Most of the time a shower never happened until AFTER the nap. EEEWWW! :p Yep, I have definitely taken to the "early to bed, early to rise" way of life. Even if I don't go to bed early I rarely sleep in very late at all. It's very difficult for me to do anymore. BOOH! I am much more of a napper then I ever used to be though. Hey, this might actually work out in my favor if/when we ever have another baby! Perhaps I won't be quite so miserable the 2nd time around! :rolleyes:

Lori: Oooh I was fighting with my DH this weekend too. Fun stuff, isn't it? LOL Thankfully we made up and still managed to have a blast saturday night. If we weren't on good terms by then I wasn't gonna go to the party.

Jen: Oh I hate those kind of drag azz runs! I know what you mean. I have a very hard time running in the cold too b/c it's exactly what you said...it's like you just never get warmed up enough so it's just a painful first mile the entire time. UGH! As much as I am not one to run in the heat either and will get out there early to try to avoid as much heat as I can, I would much rather run in warmer rather then colder temps. So did you or your SO hit it big on Sunday? :)

That's all for now...Back to the laundry...*sigh*
 
Hello ladies ..

yes my calves are even MORE sore today :eek: I am limping a bit when I get up to move . have the FREEZE IT on them .. so smelling a bit like old lady mixed w/athletic cream :confused: :p .. but it's all good!!

Wendy .. another INSANITY question - on the cardio recovery disc .. there are 2 workouts .. today calls for that disc .. which one should we do??? SIL is NOT good about rotation or reading the info included .. LOL .. I am kinda playing it by ear .. she is letting me make the rotation since we have our classes to consider .. :confused: .. I have to say Sean T is amazingly nimble on his feet ..not to mention I dont think I have ever seen a big muscular guy be that flexible .. WOW!

Lori .. wow you are getting INSANITY quick .. you are gonna love it too ..are you going to start it right away .. or wait b/c of your training??

Jen .. think you and Wendy should be getting fall like temps today .. that is what the weather guy predicted anyways .. enjoy... I love when the air turns crisp ... we are still hot here .. but supposed to have cooler night tonight .. in the upper 60's .. we will take it ..

Jacque .. do let us know about your doggie .. you are not close to those out of control fires are you??? man CA has a LOT of fires huh?? FL does sometimes .. usually started by some idiot w/a ciggi ..

DI .. today is THE day .. YAYAYAYAAYA .. cant wait to hear your take on INSANITY .. think you are getting cooler temps too ??? .. summer is just about over * sigh *

Ok .. so my w/o today will depend on Wendy's answer to my question of the recovery disc .... once I have that figured out .. we may try to get it done at lunch .. then format my class accordingly .. better run .. have a great one .. :D
 
Jacque** I did CC#3 yesterday as well, its a good one, isn't it? And b/c it is short you can really push yourself. I need to get my friends who are running the race with me doing CC. One of my friends did a run I did on Thurs ( I wrote it down for her) by the time she got off of the TM she had to run to the bathroom...apparently my runs can make some people sick:eek: Prehaps she should have went at her own speed? LOL I haven't been talking to her since, Im not sure if thats good or bad? hehe!
I just called DD to see if anyone had stopped by with the parcel cause I was gonna run to the bank and get some money...but of course she isn't answering the phone:rolleyes: Probably still in bed.

Wendy** Getting that house work done? :p We did our house yesterday. After I got mad at DH he was game for anything. I don't say much very often but when I do I snap. There is no going back....I told him to take his fishing rod and go until he had to go to work today. I was to the point where I didn't care what he did..its kinda bad when it gets to that point. Of course I was fine after but sometimes they just need to be put in their place. Have a good run!!!!

Laura** Im going to wait until after my training to do a rotation but I will be toying with them until then. With the high intensity Im sure it won't hurt my training.

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Done with CP&R! Whew!

Laura: Do Cardio Recovery. The other one is for month 2.

Lori: Yup sometimes ya just gotta let it all out and then ya feel better, ya know? :D Yeah, today was house cleaning/laundry day. I am not sure how much more cleaning I will do but the laundry will continue for a while atleast.

Oh well time for lunch!

BBL!
 
Whoa, if my afternoon flies as fast as my morning, I'll be one happy camper :D

Lori: It's so funny that we were thinking about the same thing re: the temps this morning. I was at first complaining to myself like "WTH? It's still August...it should be warmer than this..." then I switched to "OMG...winter is going to be here soooo fast :(". I swear I don't feel like it ever really left. Blech.

Jacque: Sounds like you gave yourself a bit of an azz-kicking last night ;) Good job! I've been trying to think of something I'd enjoy in place of my CABS and I just haven't come up with anything yet. I see no point in drinking a non-alcoholic beer if there's no alcohol, just calories. (Hmmm...I wonder what AA would say about me? ;)) Honestly, I'm going to try unwinding with a book. Sounds a bit lame as I type it out, but it's definitely something I enjoy and wish I did more of, so there you have it! More books, less booze! Talk about getting old :rolleyes: Well, at least I still know how to sleep in :D

Wendy: I came home with an extra $200. I was up three a half hour before we left, but I was having a hard time getting him out of there so I ended up giving 'em back a hundred. Argh, I hate that, but oh well...at least I didn't make a donation like I usually do ;) Definitely have to pull out the long running pants...sob...

Laura: Glad to hear you're loving Insanity! I think our temps are supposed to be cooler until mid-week, then back up to the 80s. That should make for a good run on Wednesday.

K, back to work. BBL~

Jen
 
Jen** My day is kinda crusing as well. I will be outta here in about 3 hrs:)

My sweaters came but I wasn't home. I called DH and of course, they ended up at his store. He said as far as he knew there was no duty to be paid. They are really nice. Worth the $. I am going to keep the pink one and DD can have the white one, I have enough white sweaters and Im not 100% it will fit cause its a pullover. I don't really like those anyway, perfer the zip ups. Now...my jeans are next! I wonder when they will arrive? And then its Insanity! hehe!

Lori:)
 
Jen:: Comin' home even or ahead is awesome no matter how little it may be! :) Gosh you are makin' me want a weekend in A/C now. Gonna hafta have a talk with mom and get to some plannin' now...;)

Lori:: You were on a tear with the online shopping, ey? LOL You are a woman. You have every right to shop! Enjoy the new purchases! :D

Heading out in a bit for that last Chuck E Cheese visit. May also stop by the park if there is time and EVERY nerve I have isn't totally on end by then! :p

I can't believe it'll be September 1st tmrw already...where has the summer gone??? Not like we had much of a summer to begin with though. :rolleyes: And it'll be Christmas in 4 months! EEGADS, did I just say that!?! :eek:

Oh well...BBL!:cool:
 
Mornin' Girls,

Guess its afternoon already...and you ladies have been chatty today! I'm off today and tomorrow. I didn't workout at all this weekend:mad: I just wasn't feeling it.

I've been hangin' out in bed catching up on all my recordings...and secretly waiting for my Insanity package to arrive. If it doesn't get here soon I'll have to go with my original plan of BM2 cardio and GS BSB.

I just registered for the last bootcamp session of the summer, a spin class (never done before) and the holiday meltdown class. I'm all set on classes for the fall.

Tomorrow I have an hour long facial and a pedicure scheduled. I'm looking forward to a little pampering! Selfish I'm sure, but I don't do it very often.

Lori-Glad you were able to get out for your run. You may want to talk to the dr. re DD issues. I was also sick and had terrible pain...so much so that I would call in sick to work. The pill helped a lot when I was younger. I no longer have to worry about it. We've had water in our basement a couple of times when our sump pump quit working. I knew when I opened the basement door and it smelled damp and musty. It took about a week for the smell to go away.. on top of all the fans running down there.

Jen-Sorry your run wasn't what you expected. At least you stuck it out and its over now. I actually prefer running in the cooler temps. It was much cooler yesterday but we are back in the mid 80's for the rest of the week. Congrats on your win!

Wendy-Chuck's again...you are a glutton for punishment. For some reason my motivation for working out has gone out the window. Hopefully Insanity will help me out with that. I'm looking forward to doing something new...but not having to learn any choreography.

Jacque-well that must've been some run to put you to sleep like that. Nice Work. How's miss Zellie? Are the last of the doors up now? These projects seem to take forever. I'm still trying to get one bedroom cleaned out so DH3 can move his room. I wish I didn't care about all the stuff in there or I just throw it all out. Some of can be given to my little nephew and some to Jerod, or even donated. I hate throwing out usable toys and electronics.

Laura-I'm still hoping my package arrives. I really want to do the fit test today and take a look at the rotation. It's kind of making a bit crazy. I know as soon as I go downstairs the UPS guy will show up. Do you think you can use any of the Insanity drills in your class. Let'em know you're always looking for new types torture;).

If I'm gonna workout it's now or never!

bb to report my workout.
 
Diana: Girl, you know how to do a couple days off ;) Good for you! You work hard and deserve it. I hope you enjoy your facial and pampering. I didn't do one minute of working out this weekend either. Giving the body a break is a good thing, too. I do think Insainity will revitalize you though. It seems like everyone is excited about it, even after completing a full month. I'm hoping that the change of pace will keep me engaged as well.
 
Well girls I like this chattiness . . . :D

No word on a ship date for my Insanity yet . . . Just how long will they keep me waiting I wonder?

Wendy - yep I fell asleep but not quite sure why that workout did me in? Perhaps all the heat this last week. I stayed indoors most of the day but had all the windows open to dry the carpet Sat and was in and out y'day cutting wood so . . . the house was probably as warm as it was outside. Anywhoo - showers on a day like that don't matter much anyway ! LOL ! Is BB out here in the west? That would most likely mean it won't take long then. Hope you and Joey had a fun day !

Laura - hey there old "smelly" lady . . . HA HA ! I'm a bit sore climbing the stairs today - we'll see what happens after I work my legs later? May need to borrow your "FREEZE IT". My Zellie is doing fine and though I haven't heard the results of the cytology, her lump is going down (she's leaving little spots all over the house as it drains). Hoping is it just a really deep abcess and that's why it is so hard. Will put a hot compress on again after work and see if we can make it even smaller. And DD should be calling me sometime . . . to let me know the results. Thanks for checkin - hope your baby does well on Wed. The fires have the state lit up at night but typically what happens here the end of summer. The prob is that they are on hillsides and difficult to fight - though actually a couple have taken some housing away - just lost 2 firefighters at one of them y'day. Sad - somehow I don't see how the state can make it spending millions a year on fighting fires. Some of them were just happenstance - a car accident caused one, a helicopter fighting a fire caused a worse one, etc. Last year it was lightening for a few. Sad and just hope they don't take many homes or lives is about all we can hope for. Sometimes it does help clear the dense forests so it can be good, but still expensive. Hope your soreness goes away soon. And how's work doing for you? Caught up a bit now?

Diana - Hope you enjoy your Birthday Weekend - sounds like you have some great plans. Nice to pamper yourself here and there - you deserve it as other have said ! ;) We have one more door to mount - the one to the garage, and then that will be complete. I will put the "bug" in DH's ear as soon as I finish up on my trim. Cuz then I want to work on my family room - painting, possibly get him to add a couple of windows and lay hardwood - we'll see how far I can push ! :eek: ITA about getting rid of belongings when they can be valuable to others. I need to hit the rafters and find the "neat" toys I got for my kids (Discovery, Texas Instruments, etc) for my DGS's. Better get on that before they are teenagers, HA !

Jen - Well hoping you are getting some work done - nice to see you popped in again ! ;) I am getting excited to do a DC rotation again where most of us are "playing" . . . It is much more "fun" when everyone is sore/tired/exhausted/sweaty at the same time. I can't wait ! ! ! I am ready to kick some a$$ with Insanity and whatever else I need to add to it. Can't say how the nutrition plan will work for me as DH loves his food and it's just the two of us - he doesn't like me fixing something different for him - being nice, but I'd bet I should be able to work it pretty close.

Time to head out to work again - hopefully can report an estimated delivery time when I get home !

Toodles ladies - enjoy the afternoon.
 
Hi Ladies,

OMG, I made the mistake of previewing a few of the Insanity discs. I'm not even sure I can make it past the warm up. I don't know what I was thinking! Wendy-I'm blaming you! Holy Moly am I ever in for it. I plan on doing the first disc tomorrow. The nutrition plan looks pretty good and should be pretty easy to follow for me. I was almost ready to sign back up with WW but think I may give Insanity at least month and see where I'm at.

Well I never did get in a workout earlier.. but I am heading to bootcamp here in a bit. I think I'm out of sorts as it was the anniv. of my dad's death on Wed, and my Mom's today. I always think it doesn't bother me, must be subconscience.

Jacque-It did take a day or two before I got my shipping notice but my delivery came as scheduled. When do you want to start the rotation? I'm game for next week as you and Jen should both have your dvd's by then. It will also give me a chance to read more of the nutrition guide.

Jen-I used to think of myself as a cardio junkie, but this guy is crazy. Shaun also takes breaks and is huffing and puffing while tell the rest of them to keep going. I will definitely have to work up to these. I'm thinking of seeing if DS3 will do them with me. Although he has football practice, doing one or two of these per week will probably help him.

Laura-Your classes must seem pretty sane after seeing some of the Insanity workouts!:eek: Maybe you can share some of the torture with your class. We do some of these drill in bootcamp, but we don't keep repeating them faster and faster...oh my. Can you tell I'm scared!

Wendy-I know I love cardio...but this looks really intimidating! I'm going to give it my best shot though. My weight is up a couple of #'s since eating out Sat and I have not been getting my water in. As long as everyone is suffering along with me I should be fine!:D
 
Yo peeps, we were on page 2 :eek:

Jacque: From what I'm reading, a lot of people are still getting results with Insanity without making any huge changes to their diet. I don't think you need to worry about it. I just like to occasionally embrace my all or nothing attitude :rolleyes: So have you gotten your shipping notice yet? Even though I got mine this morning, I can't track the package until tomorrow because it takes 24 hours for UPS to update their system :mad: That's a bit of a buzz kill, but I'll deal with it ;)
 
Diana: We were posting at the same time. Okay, I'm officially scared :eek::eek::eek: I'm sure you'll do way better than you think you will though. Sorry to hear about the sad anniversaries that just passed. It's no wonder you've lacked motivation. Sometimes you can tell yourself one thing but your subconscious has different plans. Best to just ride it out and let it pass. Hope you enjoy bootcamp class tonight!
