Good Morning!
I keep waking up before the alarm even goes off these days. Not great when I want to sleep in next week Or maybe my body has had enough sleep? That's possible I suppose.
Its another sunny day here today but I thought it was suppose to be raining. Hopefully it will stay this way all day. I need something to get me through the day! I am suppose to be going into work early b/c I have a flight, which means no workout for me and I'm willing to bet we won't even get that flight. I am going to call work shortly just to see what is on the go. So I am not sure when or what my workout will be today. One week from tomorrow and I will be leaving for Ottawa!
I was the last one to check in last night so I whined and caught up with personals there.
Have a good day and I will bb at some point in time!

My preference is "Friday Eve"
So Gooooood Morning Ladies !
Been kinda busy and blah at the same time. Monday ended up with no w/o as I was online looking up stuff for DD before I left and then stayed up there until late. Tues I did my BM2 Cardio Blast and last night was ME. Today is IMax 2 - sounds good to me !
Wendy - thanks for the tip on Tonique 1 v 2 - when I have the chance I do believe that will be my next purchase. Sounds so great ! Almost time for STS, huh? Am thinking that will be the 1st go round for you, right? Anxious to see what you think. . .
Lori - sure hope you can make it with your PT intentions - wouldn't it be nice to say "sayonara" to your current boss? How are your courses going? Can't believe it is almost time for your race. Where did the time go ? ? ? Are you getting excited?
Diana - busy with work these days? How did your review go? Anything positive or the S.O.S.? I do think the exercise you described the other day is similar to BBLs. I am loving those for the non-weight but great burn factor. Need to throw them in more often than I am lately. Last night I was thinking I might just do the BBL rotation as it stands and then add in some UB and perhaps a few runs here and there.
Laura - so so sorry to hear about your fall the other day. Yes, good no broken ribs (which I've known a few peeps have them and they are horrible) but bad you need to take off exercise for that long. Talk about withdrawals ! Hopefully you can get some walks in - I know your "kids" would love trekking around the property with Mom. Is DH behaving any better now?
Well I did wake up at 3, layed in bed until 4 and decided I might as well get up and check out my Peeps for the past few days ! Think I am caught up and will do a couple more things before it is time to get to work. Imax 2 is not on that list ! Don't want to get that sweaty this AM.
BBL.

Hi Ladies,
I guess legs are on tap for today. I'm not really feeling like working out/doing weights, but I think one of the plyo legs would be good today. If it doesn't rain this afternoon then I'm planning on a short run.
Wendy-I didn't know BC had a kickbox only premix...cool! I tore the plastic off my two new Jillian w/o's yesterday. One is Burn Fat Boost Metabolism and can't remember the other one...but they both sound like circuits from the descriptions.
Lori-It sounds like you are getting excited for your marathon! You will be great. Are you nervous at all? I too hate that working gets in the way of my workouts!
Jacque-I'm guessing you are busy catching up at work since you had a couple of days off. Hope you find time to pop in and let us know how you are doing.
Laura-are you feeling any better today? I sure hope you are.
Time for me to get changed and get moving!

Hello Ladies!
My tricep feels better today the knot has gone down a lot .. the rib cage not so much .. but I was able to sleep on that side for a bit last night .. so it must be improving some .. although when I rolled back over to other side .. it hurt ?? .. It is election time and my DB is running for reelection ... so after work SIL, BF, VBF, and DN and myself went out walking door to door .. I was SLOW .. they put DN w/me .. they were getting 2 houses to our one .. LOL .. but it felt good to move .. I had to stop a couple of time .. and it wasnt comfortable ..but at least it was moving!! we are going again today too .. this time VBF husband is gonna drive the car to pick us up so it wont be so tough on us .. we walked ystdy for about 2 1/2 hours ..
Wendy ... how is the one muscle at a time AB training working? thought that was an interesting approach!!!
Lori ... your boss sounds like a LOT of people I know .. yes from your first mention of his antics.. I thought he was a person out for himself .. whatever was best for HIM to look good .. got to be aggravating him hanging round all the time .. hang in there! Did you get theh $$ straightened out on the PT stuff?? OH and yes I think 26+ miles WILL count for exercise for me!!
Jacque .. I took the babies out TUE and Buster pulled and I had to drop the leash it hurt so bad .. so walking w/them is a NO GO for a while at least .. but the walk ystdy was doable .. I am just SLOW and cant breath good and elevations such as steps or hills bother me .. so that is aggravating.. but I will take any movement against NO movement any day!
Di ...thanks for the well wishes .. my arm feels better so that is something ..
OK .. soooo better run .. have a great one!! and workout for the clumbsy one!!!

Hey Girls!
I managed to get a short but intense 3 mile run in and PH abs. I think when I go home, I may do a leg workout, or a full body workout. It will be the last leg workout until the marathon is over.
Wendy** Nice workout this morning!
Diana** I am not nervous yet but I am sure I will be by the time it rolls around. Espeically the night before! Ick! I probably won't sleep much. Considering that it starts 7 a.m, Im guessing I will have to be up by 4! Hope you get your run in after lunch!
Jacque** Courses are going good. I have a 94 average so far. I took another test yesterday morning and I got 90 on it. This study unit is anatomy so I am thinking it will take me a loooooong time to get all of that in my brain! Not to mention I didn't have time to read anything last night. I will have lots of time to read on my trip though.
Laura** SOunds like you are on the mend! Time heals all! Yes...all my stuff is straightened out. It was just computer glitches I guess.
Alright...bbl!

Laura:: One ab muscle a day is working well for me. Allows me to exhaust the area in short time. Loving it! I also do abs from Tonique every few days to mix it up. My abs are getting more defined every day between training them daily and cutting back on my bread intake. Loving it! Glad to hear you were able to walk y'day. Just be careful. Don't push too hard too fast!
Diana:: Hate when I am not in the mood for whatever the rotation calls for. Sometimes it's not worth forcing. Just do what you feel and save the rotation for the next day. So when will you try the new Jillians you bought?
Jacque:: IM2 is so much fun! Love that work out! I can't wait for you, Diana and Jen to jump on the Tonique bandwagon! Laura and I shouldn't have ALL the fun! Yes, I just got STS for my B'day at the end of April so this will be my first go at it. Gonna do it differently though. I think I will only be using it for upper body right now.
Lori:: Wow the marathon is coming up fast! You are ready though!

Wendy .. my VBF lost her cell phone once .. I thought the girl was gonna loose it .. I told her she was addicted to cell phones .. she was loosing her mind .. freaking out .. she is one that keeps it on her .. she is either texting or calling someone all day long . . mostly texting .. UGH .. but I have to admit .. I left mine at the house one day .. and I just didnt feel secure ...

IMax 2 DONE ! ! ! Sweaty sweaty mess and feelin' great !
Diana - yep, early to work late to get home, then piddling a bit - have my little next door neighbor doggie this week so he is dying to play when I get home. I am middle of week 3 in the rotation - did good last week and doing Ok this week so may finish up next week. I like the Plyo Legs and just go light with the weights. That all tightens up my quads very well !
Laura - good to hear you are feeling better in some areas. Also that you got out to walk y'day. Gooooooooo DB and win that election ! Oh yea, forgot how the babies like to run - guess that was not a good idea . . . Oh man - you have 90' and sunshine ! ! ! We are cooling off to the high 60's again and are supposed to have more rain next week? WTH - I THOUGHT I lived in sunny CA but am thinking someone has pulled a nasty trick on me here?
Lori - good job on your tests ! I always plan on reading when I'm on a trip but rarely do ! If I were you I'd be way too excited and would rather talk to others. And you are either meeting or going with a friend, right?
Wendy - I can't wait until I can spend money with a good conscious either - thinking Tonique will be one of my first expenditures. Looks like it will be quite a while though. Sorry about the cell phone death ! You kids and your technology addictions ! LOL ! One of these days I'll actually GET text messaging !
Okie dokie - off to water the garden and shower in case DH ever finishes cooking the dinner ! Perhaps by 9 PM ?
