Damage Control on a Sunday...

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning!

Well I knew it would happen sooner or later....all the partyin' from the past few days finally caught up with me! I'm gained the usual 2-3 pounds as of this morning. I'm not worried though. Insanity will take care of it.

The party was lots of fun. We looked great in our pirate costumes. Not having a camera, the only pics I have are via my phone so they are posted on FB only *ahem*, JEN! When we got there we ate. After a few drinks everyone was dancing (they hired a professional DJ!). We drank n danced for a long time. It was very muggy outside so I was literally DRIPPING with sweat at one point. Yeah I know. Pleasant right? Later on we played beer pong and flip cup and then they set up a fire and made smores! YUMMY! We probably didn't get home until about 2am. I'm feelin' it this morning a bit. I'm tired and a wee bit hung over. Nother terrible but enough to slow me down atleast for a while today....

So today is my "cardio recovery" day in my rotation which calls for the 30 minute stretch only. I am itchin' to do something more though (probably due to the guilts from all of the indulging as of late!) so I may either do my other U/B X work out (chest and back ) or do a short/light leg work out (One on One Training w/Jackie perhaps?).


Jen:: Glad you had a good time on the boat. Did it rain at all? The weather held out for the party pretty well. We got there around 7 and there was no rain at all for several hours. Eventually it started pouring but it was very short lived and they were prepared for it so we were able to keep dry. That was when we were playing flip cup so no one cared about the rain anyway! LOL The coolest part is that the DJ they hired was playing the drinking games with us a for a while. LOL He was a relatively young guy and incredibly good looking too. About my going to sleep at 4am...it's not cause I was partyin' until then. LOL I probably got home around 2ish but for some reason I couldn't fall asleep right away so I was up watching "Family Matters" until 4am. LOL

Lori:: Wow, you are going to get Insanity quickly! I thought it might take longer for you because you are in Canada! I'm so excited that everyone is getting it. Down the line we will definitely all have to do a rotation together. After all, all of us doing the same rotation is what this group was ORIGINALLY founded on! As for my 4 hours of bad sleep---I don't know how I wasn't dragging at the party last night after the previous night's lousy sleep. I took a couple of naps during the day but one left me feeling groggy and still tired. You know I'll bet it was my work out! Exhausting but damn well invigorating at the same time!!

Jacque:: Awww your poor doggy. She's in my thoughts! I hope that the tumor is nothing! So if you order your Insanity through a coach you get a MUCH better deal on shipping but can't pay in installments. I think I paid only $7-$8 for shipping where the regular BB site charges $25 as far as I know. I have never had issues but IF there is an issue with an order, being able to go through a coach to get it resolved is much better then having to use BB's regular customer service. So there you have it. Pick your poison and order away baby! OMG I was never able to drop weight that easily but I remember not gaining it as easily as I do now! There was a time in my early 20's when I ate a buttered roll for breakfast every morning and McDonald's for lunch every afternoon (at work) for a few months and I swear I don't think I gained an ounce and I certainly wasn't into fitness like I am now...if I was exercising AT ALL at the time! If I did that today I'd be in sooooo much trouble even with all of my work outs!


BBL~

Good morning ladies !

Well I did end up getting my Power Hour in last night - seems like those sets just never end. I was "chatting" with Cathe something quite fierce while trying to make it to the end of a couple of them. Yeowch ! Not feeling sore yet - but today is a 45 min interval run. Was thinking of a regular CC but may do CCPP since it is the right weekend. Warming up already . . .

Jen - you are so right - I'll check my bank balance and see where I'm at - with all this dog expense I probably shouldn't, but . . . DH needs new roller hockey skates and I think he may have purchased yesterday but all he said was "where's the ID # on my cc" - never said what he was buying? That'll be another few hundred $. Oh well, we can always eat mac & cheese for a few weeks, right? Glad you had a pleasant evening - sounds like all the right accompaniments: food, drink, friends, etc.

Wendy - bummer about the lbs - but you'll have them gone by tomorrow I bet ! I did happen to see your facebook pics last night and I tried to comment - not sure they made it. You looked quite cute - you should change your avatar ! LOL ! So what did you decide to do for a workout today? Gonna go ahead and bang out some UB? Thanks for the info on a BB coach purchase - not sure I could do the entire thing with the puppy bills this month. If I cave it will be payments. And yes, I will do it, but for some reason have been putting it off? Maybe I am askeered?

Off to get the plants watered since they're probably really thirsty after the heat yesterday. BBL, possibly having caved for Insanity, we'll see . . .

Good Afternoon Ladies~

Well...I should have went for my long run yesterday b/c the rain is coming down in sheets out there. I was hoping that it would lighten up some but its gotten way worse! ugh....i guess its another CC on the TM today. Probably #6, that's another goodie. I will also be doing disc 29.

Other then that, there isn't alot going on around here today. I was going to take DD shopping to get some more school clothes but the poor girl isn't feeling very well. TTOM hits her hard. She gets so sick....

Wendy** Thinking about beer pong makes me want to throw up! I played that game once only and never again! I got totally smashed in a couple of hours, went to bed, got the spins and was throwing up off and on alnight. I think that was last Oct....haven't really drank that much since. Now, I like to have a scattered drink but I was sooo wasted that night!
I paid for faster shipping but after reading a thread on the OD forum, Im not so sure I should have. Im hoping mine will get here without a hitch. I keep tracking the number but there is no info on it, probably b/c it is the weekend. When will we get mail week round I wonder? LOL

Jacque** PH is one of my favs! One of the ones I would never get rid of. Actually, I have that one of DVD now. I bought them on ebay but am pretty sure they are bootlegged. Kinda sucks but I didn't do it, right? They really grab those cathe workouts on ebay.

Did anyone preorder STS? Im no going to just yet. I may ask for it for christmas. I use to be able to preorder workouts for a canadian website and I could preorder the cathe dvds without actually having to pay for them upfront. How great was that? So I got a good deal but didn't have to pay until they were shipped. But then the company closed....

BBL! Hopefully with a workout to report!

OK girls, guess Insanity will be part of my collection in about a week or so !

I am looking forward to some shorter, killer workouts. Actually can't wait to see what the hype is all about - though from good reference it will be great !

Lori - sorry about all the rain for you. Really puts a dent in the outdoor runs - but CC's are great for indoors. I preordered STS Cardio - seems like it will be here after Insanity is finished and will be great to do STS weights & cardio together for a rotation. I'll be joining you with a CC later today since we have too much heat to run outdoors. It'll be a sweatfest even indoors where it will be 15 - 20' cooler !

Off again: I have fed my cc, now need to feed my face !

 

[Fit_mommy]

Oh Jacque!

I knew you wouldn't be able to hold out once everyone else ordered!!!




So I haven't worked out at all. No stretch, no legs, no upper body. No nothing. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. It will probably stay this way at this point. Not thrilled but what can ya do? Very tired today with some tummy issues. If we weren't heading up to MIL's in an hour or so for dinner (and to pick up DS), I might have gotten something in later this afternoon but that can't happen now. *sigh*

Hi ladies,

Jerod's team won yesterday. I think it was 35 to 18 and they looked really good! they did have some mistakes but they will work on those during this weeks practice.

The game went on forever, we were the first game and started late which backs up all the other games. After lunch I decided to mow the lawn. I much prefer mowing to cleaning bathrooms. Too bad nobody stepped and cleaned the bathrooms so those will have to be done today.

I never did get in a workout. After mowing I was tired and layed down for nap. Next think I knew I heard the doorbell, it was MIL who had come to take us out to dinner for my bday. I totally forgot about it. I quickly changed and had a wonderful dinner. It was sweet bourbon salmon, salad, and grilled veggies.

I need some hard core cardio and upper body weights today. Bodymax original is sounding good right now. I prefer the weight section of the original over the the BM2. The cardio of BM2 is pretty fun...may do that instead.

Maybe we can start the Insanity rotation after Lori and Jacque get theirs! Mine should be here tomorrow and I'm so looking forward to it.

Wendy-The party pics look like fun! Well with the small weight gain at least we know your normal, and I'm sure it will be gone in no time! I'm not much of a drinker...I had a terrible experience in high school, we'll just leave it at that. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a drink or two but that's about it.

Jen-hope the weather held out for your party last night. How was it?

Lori-This is the second order I've placed with beachbody. My first order was CLX and I didn't have any delivery issues at all. It did take a couple days to get my shipping notice for Insanity but at this point I don't expect any problems. Do you plan on waiting until after your race to start Insanity?

Jacque-I hope Zellie's test results come back good. Glad to see you caved for Insanity. Would love to do a rotation. I've been thinking of hopping the EXT for a CC w/o. I haven't done one in quite awhile. I guess as long as I get in a workout it will be better than nothing.

Enjoy the last day of the weekend.

Hello ladies ... I am alive and still moving .. though limping a bit from some VERY sore calves ... ... let me say this ... I AM LOVING INSANITY .. omg .. it was SO HARD .. and the warm up alone was just about the hardest part .. LOL . but i have never sweated as much as i have these last few days .. it is gonna be tricky figuring out a class format and rotation w/insanity .. b/c doing it at lunch is NOT an option .. well the stretch and recovery ones we can ..but not much else .. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ..

and me and my SIL could not believe it .. his stretch is almost IDENTICLE to my stretches I do in class .. and the plyo work is almost IDENTICLE .. the only difference is .. the REST .. i rest after each plyo exercise .. he doesnt .. my rest are usually 30 seconds but after EACH plyo .. not after SIX of them .. .. this is gonna push my cardio up three fold .. yayayayayayayyaya!!!!

Wendy .. thanks for putting us all on the INSANITY bandwagon .. although my calves are cussing you right now .. sounds like you had a blast at the party .. you will make up your ### , , I have faith in you!!!

Jacque .. sending healing positive vibes for your doggie .. mine has his surgery WED .. I will be a nervous wreck ...

Lori .. hate the weather is nasty .. I have never played beer pong .. but imagine I would not like it .. I LOVE beer .. but dont like forcing it ... ack!

Di .. congrats to Jarod .. cant wait to hear what you think about Insanity .. wooohooo .. it is a major sweat fest ..

Hello to Jen ..

OK .. gotta run .. my wireless cell has been dropping my internet .. better post this b-4 it drops on me .. have a great one girlies!!

Back again! Done with my workout but I think my snack was more then I intended to eat when I was done I just kept picking and picking until I wasn't hungry anymore...oh well! We are going to my inlaws for dinner soon...cause ya know...thats what WE do...eat together alllll the time

I wanted to do CC #6 but I couldn't find it so I did CC# 3&4. It was 61 mins long and 7 miles. Then I did disc 29. I think those cc workouts are what I need for this race. I don't know how many hills I did. My training only calls for one hill workout a week and its only sprinting a hill for 1 mins at a time, starting with 4 hills the first week, then increasing by 1 every week until I reach 10 hills. But in the cc workouts you go up a hill and then STAY up there for 1-3 mins...Im thinking that would be better for my training. What do you girls think? I want to be ready to tackle these hills this time!

Jacque** So you did it? Is that it? We have all taken the plunge! LOL I bet I will be the last one to receive mine, just b/c of where I am. It said the 4th but you never know when customs is involved.

Laura** Are these workouts gonna kill us? hehe! Glad to hear you are still alive. I played beer pong with coolers so its no wonder I was drunk so fast.

Diana** I probably won't start the rotation until after my race. That will probably lead me into christmas. I can't believe I just said that word! I have already started my shopping! I was going to do more today but its not nice enough to go outside.

Wendy** Take a rest day. Your body probably needs it.... To little sleep and to much socializing will do that to a girl.

I may bbl!

Lori

Hello girlie girls

Wendy: I feel your pain re: the slight hangover this morning. I haven't been feeling that great all day either. Sounds like you had a great time though so it was worth it, right? Yay for DJ Eye Candy Never hurts to have someone pleasant to look at. The rain cleared up once we were on the boat, which was good, but just prior to boarding there was just enough drizzle and wind to ruin the 'do while we waited in line to get on Didn't let it ruin my night though! That was the last hurrah for a while, though. The socializing has caught up with me, too, and if I'm going to do this Insanity thing at all, I'm going to do it right. Non-alcoholic stuff for me until the rotation is over.

Jacque: So sorry to hear about your puppy troubles But WOOT WOOT on your recent purchase I'm thrilled we're all going to be doing this together! That's going to be so helpful for me in sticking to it. I can't tell you how many times I've worked out when I haven't wanted to because I don't want to report here that I haven't

Lori: Sorry to hear about the rain and DD not feeling well. My niece had the same issues and they finally put her on a very low dose birth control pill just to make it more tolerable.

Diana: Your bday dinner sounds delish. I always hold off on the bathrooms for as long as I can in hopes of the bathroom cleaning fairy making an appearance..but she never shows !! At least now I can't blame you for keeping her all to yourself, 'cuz she's apparently not helping you out either Oh, if only....

Laura: I can't decide if your Insanity report excites me or scares the sh*t out of me Can't wait for mine to get here so I can develop a new addiction!

So no workout to report for me again today, but I'm forgiving myself because I know Insanity is on its way and will whip me into shape real soon. Tomorrow morning will likely be a run. I need it after this weekend.

Hope everyone is having a great night. I'll bbl or in the a.m.~

Jen
