Damage Control....Sunday!

[Fit_mommy]

Hey Ladies.

I got to sleep in a bit this morning...well, as much as my body would allow me to. I got out of bed at 7:30. Now that's big time for me! DS is at my mom's house since DH and I went out last night. We had a good time. We went to a little italian restaraunt local to the couple we were with. It was packed so even with reservations we had to wait a bit to be seated. The food was excellent though. I ordered halibut livornese. YUMMY! It was BYOB so they brought a bottle of red wine from home and then we stopped at the store on the way and picked up a bottle of pre-made cosmos to take with us. We (me and the other gal) weren't impressed with the flavor but we drank it anyway and I managed to get a pretty heavy buzz going. The guys each had a glass or 2 of the wine. After dinner we went back to their house and hung out for a while. I drank a bottle of water and then had a beer. DH wanted to head home just when I was ready to crack open beer number two...probably just as well, ya know?

So this morning, as a result, I have a slight head ache but nothing major. I took some ibuprofen and drank some water so I should be good to go in an hour or two.

The rotation calls for Tone It Up today but I may flip flop today and tmrw's work outs. My upper thighs are still very very sore. I am afraid to keep pushing them with lower body work even though it's all done with very light or no weights. That being said I may opt for cardio today (hoping for a run) and Tone It Up tmrw.

Guess that's all for now. I was last to post y'day again.

BBL!

Hi Ladies,

Somehow I managed to hurt myself yesterday. Not sure how though. It feels like somebody stepped on my chest, and my back hurts in the same spot. Needless to say I did not do any kb work yesterday.

I'm up earlier than normal and have already finished my 2 cups of coffee. I haven't stepped in a few weeks so I'm going to give SJP a try this morning. The ab work is great at the end of the w/o.

Cleanmax and laundrymax are also on the agenda for today. fun...fun...

Later this afternoon I have an appt with the NC for another weigh in and chat. I've been avoiding weighing at home and prefer to just use her scale. Will probably take measurements today since I think its been about 3-4 weeks since I started.

Wendy-Hope you are having a great run this morning.

Lori-Hope the weather is great for your record breaking race today!!!!

bbl to see what everyone else is up to.

Morning ladies !

Well seems like this weekend will just be scrapped as far as workouts go. DH wanted to get to the festival early so no time for a run beforehand and then I never walked back home to run and return to help. The scale is cooperating so guess no workouts will be fine without guilt ! Was able to eat enough to enjoy and not all any lbs ! Oh well, gotta get a move on again as I slept later than usual (until 7 but thats a couple extra hours for me) and now it's time to get ready. Need to ice the back a bit too as the sitting around is worse than working out for me !

Wendy - sounds like a fab nite out food, drinks (at least the buzz factor) and company. I'm with you on LB work when my legs are quite sore. That's when I'll step or do a slow run. Always helps get the lactic acid out without starting the "break down" process all over again. Hope that helps you too. Also that your head cooperates with you. Have to say I stayed CAB free at the festival all day long - was warm enough so cold water tasted wonderful !

Diana - so sorry to hear about your pains ! Hoping SJP will work for you today also. Wow sounds like quite an interesting evening along with interesting situations. Funny because that is kind of what happened with me - DH started "stepping" out with his inside sales girl and I ended up chatting more and more with a guy (now DH) I was playing hockey with. My X wanted both a wife to take care of the house and the kids and a girlfriend he could buy gifts for and take with him on his business trips. Ha ha on him ! (LOL my friend who did my hair actually filled me in on even more details of X's affairs last week. It wasn't all in my head !) Anyway, good to hear you got out and enjoyed yourself and hoping it will help you get DH outta the house more for some "together" time for the two of you. I always set up "dates" like buying concert tix or Sharks tix. Yep, it was me who started with the little "10 packs" and we are now proud season ticket holders ! Forces the time out of the house.

Laura - hoping your getaway weekend went well and you were able to relax lots !

Lori - can't wait to hear your new PR.

Jen - what's up with you this weekend girlfriend?

Okie dokie - DH will be on my butt here in a few so gotta get a moving.

Hello Again.

So I ran for 62 minutes this morning-true steady state. I never changed my running speed. Not once. I did, however, have to hop off for 2 mins to pee and then took 2 or 3 one minute walking breaks during the course of the work out.

Jacque:: Sorry you are missing your work outs this weekend but you are right, if the scale cooperates it definitely helps to alleviate the guilt of the missed work outs! Happy for you on that note! Good job not CABBING it up at the festival. Probably is part of the reason why the scale is being nice to you. Wish I could learn to do that! Yes, I am a fan of running on sore legs as well. So when are you expecting your GWF to arrive?

Diana:: You hurt yourself? That stinks. Have fun with SJP today! Good luck with the NC appointment today. I'm sure she'll have good news for you.

Well, gotta go for now. Time to pick up the munchkin from grandma's house!

BBL!

Hello all!

Just gettin' a chance to check in after a busy weekend! DSO wanted to go to Foxwoods yesterday, and I thought I better go with him to make sure the place is in tip-top shape for when Wendy and I get there to tear it up So we left early yesterday morning with intention of getting home early, and we pretty much DID make it home early...like 2 a.m. early I was beat when we finally got in. Unfortunately we came home losers, too Oh well, better luck next time!

Friday evening after work I decided to hit the pavement for a run. I ran 4.8 miles and it felt great. It was a really good run. So this afternoon I decided to do it again, then followed it up with PUB. I'm on track for PLB in the morning, now.

Wendy: I'm happy to report that the place is in acceptable condition Glad to hear you got to sleep in this morning, but I think I need to teach you a few things about that, because I'm the expert. I slept until 10:30 this morning I joined you in the cosmo last night, but I think it's safe to say that mine was better No premixes! I got a good old fashioned home (casino) made one at the casino bar. I went in there figuring that it was going to run me a few bucks, but I was pleasantly surprised when the bartender said they were complimentary for players. They had slot machines built right into the bar and DSO started playing when we sat down, so the drinks were on the house. That didn't suck. Sounds like you had a great run this morning.

Diana: What the heck happened girl? That sounds like a very uncomfortable injury! Did SJP work any of the ache out? Sounds like quite the soap opera going on around DH's friends I hope that his set up was a successful one! How'd it go with the NC?

Jacque: Woo hoo on the GWF! I think you're going to love it! So are you having fun at the Garlic Festival? Sorry to hear what your DX's idea of marriage was It happens all too often. And it's not just men anymore DSO's wife "stepped out" on him after 20 years of marriage which led to their divorce. It's a crappy thing to do. I'll never understand why people can't display a little bit of maturity and just confront/resolve their issues, rather than avoid them and go for the extracurricular activities? It's too bad, but like mom always says, "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger." Ain't that the truth...

Laura and Lori, Hope you're both having a great weekend!

K, I need to go look for some foods...belly is grumbling. Will bbl~

Hey Gals!

Im sitting in the dark...trying to type this! I am still at my brothers house ( I will be here until Tues) and DS is in the bed, next to the computer asleep. So the only light I have, is coming from the computer screen.

Todays run was a good one! Of course I beat my time but the weather was great for running. It was a little chilly and misty rain, off and on.

I shaved almost 5 mins off of last yrs time Last yr I did it in 79 mins and this yr I did it in 1:14:44 I was 332/2474 to cross the finish line, 8/189 (age group) and the 47th female out of 1310 finish Im wondering if I can do it in 70-72 mins next yr?

I would love to stay and chat but I am making waaaay to many spelling mistakes cause I am in the dark! Hopefully I will be able to check in in the morning!

Thanks for the good luck vibes everyone!!!

Lori
