Damage Control...Saturday

Morning Girls.


It was super duper quiet in here y'day and now ya got 2 of us leaving for vacations at the same time. Jacque, Jen and Lori will have to yap enough for all us! I think they can handle it though.

Diana:: I saw your post from last night! I always check before I start the new day's thread. If I don't check it's cause the coffee hadn't kicked in yet so I forgot. Enjoy your visit with your GDs! 2 visits out to them in just as many months. Lucky g'ma!!!! Do they have any plans to come to Colorado at all? Bootcamp sounds like it was KILLER! I can't believe you work out on your own before taking those classes. You are my hero, girl!

Well, I am supposed to be leaving here in 3.5 hours to head down to OC. It's unlikely that I'll be able to check in from down there but if I can, I will. I am going to try to squeeze in a work out before we go. They have a gym in the hotel and I can always walk/run outside but if I want to get one in TODAY, it has to be now or never. I won't want to do it after the drive, unpacking and such.

So I went out shopping y'day for last minute things for vaca. I stopped at the liquor store and picked up beer but also picked up vodka for myself for chocolate martinis since I bought the mix at the foodstore a few days ago. Well, I decided to try raspberry flavored vodka in it. I had one last night (just to test it out! ) and OH MY GAWD!!! It was soooooooooooo GOOD! Jen, if you are reading this you MUST go buy choc martini mix and raspberry vodka. You will LOVE it! I also put a chocolate syrup rimmer on the glass. I was in freakin' HEAVEN!

Okay, gotta jet! If I wanna work out I gotta hop to it really soon!

Have a great weekend and start to your week ladies and I'll catch up with you after I return home on Wednesday!

Good Saturday morning, ladies!!

Wendy and Diana: I hope you both have great vacations! Geez, it's going to get lonely around here Not only are you two taking off, but my kids are heading out for a weeklong vacation with their dad I'm gonna miss you all!!

Wendy: My mouth is literally watering just reading about that martini, and it's only 7:35 a.m. Which reminds me, the room is booked for 8/15. I think I already know what I'll be ordering for lunch when we get there

Five mile run on tap for this morning after the kids skedaddle. Will bbl to see if anyone is around!

Morning Girls...

I couldn't sleep, never can the night before an early morning flight! I'm up plenty early but I think DH will be taking to the airport in about 15 minutes. I did pack a swimsuit and one set of w/o clothes. The hotel has a tiny gym with a treadmill and some db's, but its pretty sparse.

I did step on the scale this morning and am down 2lbs. Not too shabby I say. Hopefully I can keep the eating in check this weekend.

Not sure if I'll be able to checkin' either..

Wendy & Jen- you two are so funny!

Wendy-have a great time on vacation. Our bootcamp w/o's are usually pretty tough, but I've been really struggling with them this year. I'm not sure if it's due to the extra weight I'm carryin', or the stinkin humidity. It's usually dry here but lately we've been having afternoon storms.

Jen-Have a nice run today. This can be your vacation too!!! Do all the things you want to do but can't normally do 'cuz the kids are with you. I say pamper yourself, do long workouts, mani-pedi, whatever you want. Its always hard to have the house to yourself for a whole week. Its probably the only week the house will stay clean!

Mornin' Jacque, Lori and Laura!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hey Girls!

What a weird couple of days! I had to come to work early yesterday morning , on my way I had to pick up 2 pilots that were suppose to be leaving. Well, they didn't and they were here for like....FOREVER! And one of them could drive me completley mental! Anyway..they didn't leave so I had to do the same EXACT thing again today. Wakey, wakey at 5:30! Then DH was gone fishing so I had to figure out the plans with DS and so on.

Anyway.....I did get a workout in the past couple of days though but I took it easy on my leg that is calling it quits I did STS chest,tris and shoulders on Thurs along with 4DS BC and KB. Last night I was home alone with DS in bed so I decided to do everything that I missed this week which was back, bics and legs....and of course a small run on the TM! Today is a rest day though b/c I have a wedding tonight so I am hoping that my leg will be well enough tomorrow to go for a run. It doesn't hurt now but I am wondering what it will be like once I start running.

Wendy** Yummy! I think I am going to have to try that! It would be a great thing to have after a meal instead of dessert! Hope you have a good trip!!!

Jen** Enjoy your run! I had to go home for a min and on my way I seen all kinds of people out running So jealous!!!

Diana** Enjoy your GD's! Im sure you will!! Congrats on the 2 lbs weight loss! Thats awesome!!!

I will bbl!

Hi Girls!

I have time for one last post before leaving. I did PUB Down Only Premix and 6 Minute Abs this morning. I really pushed the weights loads on PUB. I started at, right below or right above Cathe's weight but then went down in increments of only 2.5 pounds each time. It was TOUGH...but fun! I probably could have gone a bit heavier on tri's but the rest was definitely a fryer! Yeah, us Catheites are sick in the head, huh?

Jen:: Woo hoo for the 15th! Knew you'd like the martini idea!

Diana:: Congrats on the 2# weight loss! Sounds like the plan the nutritionist gave you is going to work for you.

I'm outta here ladies....talk to you in a few days!!!!!

Morning ladies - though it seems I've missed nearly everything already ! It is only 6:20 here ya know!

No workout for me y'day either - extra work and just when I thought I was meno it seems not quite yet. Think it is a hormonal thing (actually hoping cuz I hate this moodiness !).

Diana - Woo hoo have a great time. Yee Haw on the 2 lbs girl ! YOU CAN DO IT ! You have definitely been kicking some bootie with the workouts. I'm sure I missed you but if DS or the hotel give you an opportunity to check in, HAVE A GREAT TIME !

Wendy - I'm sure you'll be having some grand fun soon too. I have to admit I've never had a martini and you girls are almost making me want to try one ! I'm much more of a beer/wine person but have enjoyed the occasional Mudslide. The taste of hard alcohol makes me shiver . . . Hope you got in a good workout and am sure you'll most likely do something while you are away.

Jen - Well you are going to have a nice time here too ! I know it is hard when the kids go away, but being a FT parent is tiring too. Enjoy your time - do you and DSO have something heavenly planned or just vegging? Has the weather been nicer to you yet? Think I mentioned it before, but the old abdominal area does take time to heal and will forever be a spot to be careful with as with any surgery. The scar tissue on the muscle can cause some interesting things. For a handful of years lately when I sit down and bend forward to tie my shoes my abs tighten up something fierce so I have to hurry. It's strange, not painful, but a result of tearing them years after my last C-section. Take it easy and treat it as any major injury. Even now I have to watch it between my back and my abs - seems like a fight between them since they have both been injured ! As I get older I have learned to listen very well to what my body is telling me. I KNOW you are good at doing this, just want to make sure I keep my "motherly skills" honed you know !

Lori - bummer about the pilots - especially if they drive you batty ! Good to hear your quad is feeling better - if you run tomorrow perhaps heat it up a bit before and give it a good stretch before and possibly during your run. Way to get the UB work in while you're healing your leg. I saw that Cathe replied to your request ! How cool, huh?

Well off to get some chores and a workout done before we head up to see the kids and grandkids. Can't believe my GS1 will be 2 years on the 28th ! Boy has time flown. Probably won't be back today - will be tomorrow though!
