Damage Control on Hump Day

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning!

Yeah, I've been awake since 4am and out of bed since about 415. Lovely, isn't it? Seems I get up 3x a night to pee now when it used to be just once and it eventually kills my ability to get back to sleep. When I get up early to pee (up to about 3am), I have no troubles getting back to sleep but it seems once 4am hits if I have to get up then I am doomed to be awake. GRRRR. Oh well...

So y'day afternoon I went to the gym with my sore achin' legs and got on the treadmill. Ended up doing an easy 30 minute run/walk. I ran for 5 mins at a slow pace and then walked for a minute. It was just enough. The Insanity work outs kicked my a$$. I don't think I could've run fast y'day if I WANTED to! LOL

Today is my rest day so all I have on tap is Centergy class. OOOOHM! LOL

Diana: Listen, I never got to the post office y'day (sorry-I ended up having to work and it threw my whole day off) so if you ordered or want to order Insanity like NOW, just tell me and I won't mail the preview disc and when your check comes I can pop it in the mail right back to you! I don't want you to pay the $ for the preview disc if you plan to have the program a week later. Just let me know what you want me to do!

Jacque: I like BL Cardio Max too. For a beginner cardio dvd it really kicks butt if you give your all! I have become a big fan of athletic drill cardio. So how are your legs feeling? My legs are still KILLING ME! I am planning on taking Centergy class today. It's gonna hurt but it should do 'em good. My u/b is fine. Never got sore. Can't say the same for it for next week as I'm gonna try doing the X upper body work outs then! That's cool about the bread makers. I like my carbs too much for that though. The idea of sitting down with a hot fresh loaf of bread n butter (or whatever my heart desires) and polishing it off would be WAAAAY too tempting so no bread machine for me! LOL Wow, was that a big aquarium or what!?

Lori: LOL about your BIL. Yeah, that's not likely unless he runs far below his ability on the flats just to be able to say that! Your daughter is approaching (or maybe she's at the age, not sure how old she is) where all she is gonna want to do is SLEEP! I slept my life away when I was a teen and my SIL's kids are doing the same thing at 13 and 16 yrs old! You are a crazy cardio chic so I think you would love Insanity! Perhaps the preview disc will have to be sent YOUR way one of these days!

Laura: Jury duty...UGH! LOL I have never been to jury duty *knock on wood* because I've gotten out of it every time so far but I KNOW I would hate it!!! Glad it's over with for you! I will only be doing the X upper body work outs with Insanity. No Legs n Back, no ARX, no Yoga X, etc. Shouldn't be TOO bad, I HOPE! LOL I gotta incorporate U/B weights though. I do not believe that the few body weight exercises in the program will be enough to maintain the muscle I have. Perhaps 2 months is not a long enough time for me to lose it but I am not taking any chances! ...OMG I just scrolled down and read your post about your SIL ordering Isanity! WOO HOO! You are gonna LOVE it!

That's all for now ladies but I'll be back!

Good Morning!

I am in for a hellava day today! DS is already being a pain in my rear. You know when they wake up and you can just tell that they are going to be bad all day. Well...thats what he is like. He is crying for everything he can't do or can't have. Its only been an hour and I think I am ready to go to work...where I don't have to be for another 8 hrs! LOL

Today is another run outside. After today I will be getting a couple of runs in on my TM. Need to get those intervals and hills in.

Diana** So you had a good workout last night? I seen it on FB!!! hehe! Can't hide anything these days Have a good day at work and I hope you get your walk in.

Wendy** I went to the BB website yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. The packaging itself makes me want to buy it Maybe in a couple of monthes. I seen the informerical part. When I didn't get off of work until 8 a.m I use to watch all kinds of informercials....I bet if I had seen that one I would have bought it. Yeah, I don't know who my BIL was trying to kid. He knows he can't beat me....hehe...thats why he won't do it!

BBL!
Lori

Lori:: Sorry DS is already getting on your nerves. I know the feeling! You can't wait to get to work tonight and I can't wait for DS to get back to school next week! Yeah, you'll definitely be popping for Insanity before you know it...

Joey jammed the zoom function on our camera. The camera will turn on but it won't take pictures. It's not that old. My husband is going to flip out. I am taking it to get an estimate on a repair but I'm not so sure it's worth it. I am not happy. Joey has been home for barely a week and a half with me and is getting into more and more trouble every day. I am at my wits end and about to explode. I don't know what to do with him. The school year can't start soon enough!

WOO HOO HUMP DAY ! ! ! !

Never posted again yesterday - went shopping after work for some surf and turf for our anniversary evening - grilled filet and lobster was the menu and yummy it was ! Glad I had ended up working out in the AM cuz the evening went quickly. Today will be L & G and STS abs.

Lori – ITA with the others about BIL’s comment. Sounds just like a male ego to me ! Yep up early yesterday but that is when I usually wake up these days. Fortunately DH got up too so I could make “noise” and workout. Otherwise I usually hit the computer or clean the kitchen so as not to wake him up. As far as DD going back to bed – sometimes I just lay around these days too on the weekend – kinda hormonal for me, but fun just the same. Hope DS finds something to do other than cry for you today. Is the weather nice enough to take him outside?

Laura – woo hoo on having a great weekend. LOL about y’all trying to be youngin’s again and feeling it – but, at least you guys got out there and got active unlike many who get older. It only keeps you younger and healthier to push yourself. And hey, didn’t you say no workouts, but to me if you have DOMS you got a workout ! Now SIL got Insanity so that should take care of your non-clean, non-working syndrome pretty quickly. Can’t wait to hear the tales of you two . . .

Diana – L & G is on tap for me today – I am noticing these leg workouts in my rotation are getting the HR up there. Feels like a double workout that way. Last day of training for you, right? Way to go walking at lunch and eating Subway ! How’d the GWF #’s end up for you? I kinda skipped on mine y’day after lunch anyway. Didn’t workout last night so never put it back on. Was up to 6000+ before work and went shopping at 2 stores so think I must have hit near 10K. Yes CA has quite inflated housing prices and our is down about 70K from when we purchased it 9 years ago. No biggie though cuz I’m not going anywhere. If I was moving then I’d be bummed.

Wendy – I’m just like you on the sleeping these days – not quite that early but close. Legs not too sore but UB is. Think after L & G they’ll be a bit tight. Agree on the fresh bread thing – my bread maker has been out in the garage for years – I’d probably be able to BE ON Biggest Loser if I had it in my kitchen these days! Bummer about the camera. My kids were in year round school in elementary and it was great cuz they’d have a month off and then go back. Kept them from getting too bored and from getting into trouble. It is Hump Day so you’re almost there.

Jen - hope all is OK with you . . .

Have a great day ladies !

Hey Girls.

I heard from Diana. She placed her Insanity order last night so the preview disc is back up for grabs!

Any takers?

 

[Fit_mommy]

I made it to Centergy class this morning and got home from food shopping not that long ago. Now I must eat some sort of snack and get ready to head to mom's for our weekly visit.

Very quiet in here today. I guess everyone is busy. Missin' those that haven't been around. Hope to hear from everyone soon!

I'll be back later to see if anyone has checked in!

 

[Sunshine1528]

Woo Hoo Diana ! ! ! You GO GIRL !

You all are going to make me go Insane here if I can't order soon.

Wendy - glad to hear you made it to Centergy. Hope others come back to "play" with you soon ! Unfortunately I've got a few things to take care of at work so won't be back until after work.

Hi Ladies

I had a busy day today...surprise! DS let me do disc 28 in the a.m before going for a run. This time the room was reversed from when I normally workout...if that makes any sense. And if appears that no matter what side of the room I am on, he feels the need to join me I didn't mind though. He wanted help spinning a toy so after the 7 reps were up, the toy had stopped so it all worked out pretty good. Then I packed him up and we went for a 12 kms run...which he fell asleep, and he was pretty good the rest of the day. He wasn't ready to start his day when he did and I think thats why he was misbehaving all morning. He cried to break his heart when I left for work, not sure whats up with that. I hope he isn't getting sick. Maybe I will crawl in bed and cuddle with him when I get off at 4 a.m.

And get a load of this one....I brought up "insanity" for DH to see. I told him my "cathe friends" were talking about it He is the only person I can tell that I have cathe friends....anyway....I told him that I didn't know how much it was while he was watching the preview. I figured that it was around $200 if you keep it and he didn't think that was to bad. I thought he was going to say something like " how many dvds do you need" or "thats expensive" But instead he thought that they were a good price and that they looked tough I told him that I didn't need to buy them yet though b/c I am training for my upcoming race and that will keep me busy for the next few weeks.

Wendy** YOu have everyone jumping on the insanity train Oh I hear ya on the kid thing...you don't need to rant very long to me. I know exactly where you are comming from. One of DD's friends did the same thing to her camera. DD as went through 4 ipods, 2 cameras and is on her 2nd cell phone.Ugh!

Jacque** Your dinner last night sounded delish! I had to bring my dinner with me tonight and I could have eaten more. I remember before having DS when we would watch movies on a sunday afternoon. We always watch Home Alone at christmas time...numerous times. My lazy days are over for another couple of yrs yet. One of these days DS will be happy just sitting and playing his DS or something! I will get him hooked on gameboy just so I can relax! LOL

Laura** It was a little chilly here today. I dressed DS up in pants and a coat when we went for our run. I still wore shorts and a top though. Fall seems to be setting in. You seem to have a great relationship with your SIL! Even after all of the torture you put each other through!

Hi Ladies,

I know it's late but I just got home from Jerod's scrimmage. Jerod has football practice everynight through the end of this week. Starting next week it will only be 3 days per week. Being gone every night is taking it's toll on me.

I've been setting my alarm for 6am and starting my workout first thing, before coffee and computer. It seems to be going okay. This morning I was a bit tired so I didn't crawl out of bed until almost 7am...I still worked out though. I ended up doing original bootcamp cardio only premix followed my abs only premix. It was only 20 mins long and I burned 206 calories. Still better than nothin'. I also walked today at lunch and tonight at Jerod's scrimmage.

Wendy-I would be in a terrible mood I'm sure, if I was awake at 4am. Our group seems to have its fair share of sleep issues. Kids will be kids, sorry about the camera. I remember one of our boys stuck a toy in the vcr and ruined it.

Lori-so you were able to get in weights and cardio today! You go girl. It sounds like you were exactly right, DS was just up before he should've been. They grow up so fast! We did a lot of running at bc class last night...on a soccer field which is much wider than a football field. Our first drill was suicides on the soccer field, 25 jacks, 25 pushups....and that was just the beginning!

Jacque-I have my step target set at 8500 but try to get to 10K. Most bootcamp or cardio days I can get to 10K. It's a pretty high target to reach for a desk job though. It is encouraging me to move more...like this morning when I was short on time. Tomorrow is GS C&T, not sure what kind of count that will be worth, pretty small I imagine. Yes, Wendy and Laura...you know the ones, the ENABLERS, convinced me to purchase Insanity for my bd. I'll have to take a look at the standard rotation and see what kind of modifications I will need to make to it.

Laura-why is your class so large? This is the last session of bootcamp and it probably has 30 people. Our normal class usually has about 12-15 people, mostly women but a few men here and there. The class is from 7-8pm and its starting to get dark near 8pm. I have leg DOMs from l&g and walking lunges on the soccer field-oh my. My insanity shipment is due on Sept 2nd. Hope you had a great night out!

Jen-what have you been up to? Must've been busy if you didn't make it here. Hope all is well.

see you all in the AM.
