UGH .. aggravating .. she only has like a 2 day window then she turns into pure bi-atch!!!! :p told DH leave them out .. lock them out .. and let them be!! DH planted his garden this weekend hoping the cold temps didnt hurt it now!!!

SO last night - the ZUMBA teacher was in our room - "practicing" w/a group of her class :mad: not teaching or having class . BUT PRACTICING - WTH??? she has NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE - we opened and closed the doors and nothing kept right on talking - SIL finally busted up in there .. DIDNT PHASE HER - I followed - and ya'll after the freakign day I had that was the LAST thing I needed - I went over grabbed her CD out of the player - and proceeded to put mine in - SHE KEPT TALKING and the people kept standing as my class was trying to set up - then saw me get her CD .. she rushed over and said "OH THAT IS MINE" .. I said .. ya I know .. it is time for my class .. and then she tried to SMALL TALK "how are you - your day ok" .. IF I COULD HAVE ONLY TOLD HER WHAT I WAS THINKING "H### no- my day was from H## and you need to get your insensitive selfish @$$ out of my class time" gggrrrrrrrrrrr :mad::mad::mad::mad: so my blood pressure was thru the roof - I did full out plyo - w/body exercises - for 50 minutes then 10 min abs!!! :eek: so much for 1/2 plyo 1/2 yoga - I was struggling to start w/b/c I was PISSSED .. and I still dont feel real good - think I have a kidney infection now!!

Good Morning Lovlies!:)

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I thought for sure I was gonna get to check in but my day turned busy with a couple of my clients who wanted to workout in the afternoon. After that I went to walmart and picked up somethings we are gonna need for our trip. Took two kids with me and I don't know which one asked for the most. Atleast DS had to ask b/c he couldn't reach. DD just kept throwing stuff in my cart:confused: Anyway....I could have bought more lulu for the money I spent there;)

Yesterday's workout was B&G's mixed in with a run and the bike. I also did some abs. I am up early to get my workout done b/c I have a client at 10 and DS's appt is at 1. Should be nice and stressful.

Wendy** I enjoy busier days as well but only if I get to go home when Im suppose to:p Half of the time I work through my lunch, then he as the nerve to write that stupid note in the book:mad:

Diana** Soooo funny story. We have a pilot that we see quit often who stuck the name "loulou" on me years ago.And when he calls he will say (he's from TX) "is this loulou"? Maybe that's where my love of lulu came from. I never read that article about running on tired leg before. A good way to make them tired is to ride the bike first and then run! I hate it when my legs feel tired.

Jacque* Happy to see that you checked in again and nice job getting those workouts in!

Laura** Look at you going in there and showing that girl who is boss! LOL I usually don't say much but for the love of God...don't catch me on a bad day.

O.k...I have been typing this on the computer with missing keys...its taken forever! I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies,

My back is still a bit sore this morning so I'm going to forgo my workout. However, I did do HSTA plus origianal bc cardio/core and coremax 3 yesterday.

I should be getting my Insanity discs back today. If my back is better, I can start that this weekend. I have a couple of options for my rotation. One is adding 1 body part per day of Insanity and then in M2, adding a couple full body w/o's. I'll have to see how it works out.

LauraT-your post had me laughing. My son put together my tower and pretty much said the same thing as your DH. Oh yeah, you can definitely take the Zumba teacher!!! So did you make to your meeting in another town??? I'm directionally challenged to but do okay using mapquest directions.

Lori-It costs me a lot less at the store when I go alone. All that little stuff the kids put in the basket really add up fast! So you already had the nickname loulou.....too funny!

Wendy-nice w/o this morning. Meso2 Rocks!!!

Laura-safe travels to you and yours!

Jacque-keep up the workouts...you are on a roll.
 
Hey Girls

Just checking in with my workout and then we are getting ready for our appt.

I did PUB shoulders, bics, tris,abs and the medicine ball abs in the STS series. TM for 2 miles, 1/2 DWP, 10 mins on the bike, other 1/2 of DWP.

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
TGIF FINALLY .. !!!!!!!!

Hey Ladies!

Well I made the meeting .. was able to follow someone :confused: and it's a good thing b/c I would have never found it .. GPS hd us going a weird way - but lucky for me the guy spotted the trucks and went straight to it :D BUT ... Had a scare when i got home - :( -you know Toots is in heat - Buster is going crazy- well DH and I were sitting out watching them - and Buster got up like he was sick - started walking in circles .. gagging .. well he kept on and on .. then his back legs went straight - and he started shaking .. wobbled about to fall his head hit the ground - I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT - thought he was dying - but he HACKED - and started breathing and got better - IT SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME - I thought my baby was gone!! :( I watched him .. and he acts fine ... I guess he was choking and couldnt breath and was about to pass out .. ???? No workout to report - after that scare I had some CABS and settled in for night!

Lori - when do you leave on your trip?? Is the whole family going?? You will be in paradise and we will be stuck here .. HUMPH!!! have fun for all of us ok? :p

DI - ya I can take the zumba teacher - lol - I dont usually like to be a bi-atch but I am sorry - she is just one of those people who are clueless about impositioning anyone else - gggrrr - and a VERY huge pet peeve of mine is disrespect!!! and another thing .. if the teacher has to PRACTICE the routine w/her students - she must not KNOW the routine and can not "lead" the class correctly/effectively!!!

WEndy - I am slacking on STS - gonna get back to it this weekend I hope!

Jacque - hope work is calmer for you! MINE IS - I am filling in in another office .. and it is a LOT slower than our office .. UGH... almost TOO slow!! time is creeping by!!

OK .. better jet .. any exciting plans for the weekend? ME ? NOPE - DH on nights and ILL as H## just gonna try to stear clear from him .. LOL .. plan on exercising - cleaning and maybe fishing .. but that is it!! have a great one!:cool:
 
LauraT:: oh poor Buster baby! Glad he's ok. I would have panicked as well! :eek::eek::eek: So have you tried your tower yet!? I am dying for your review!

Lori:: Nice work out today! You are more of a mish mosh queen then I am! I love it! :)

Diana:: If you didn't see the announcement in the O/D...Asylum was just released for purchase!:eek: I don't plan on buying it for a long time though. Considering putting it on my Christmas list actually. Hope your back feels better soon. I didn't have much time to check in from work this week outside of today and part of y'day. It was a nice change to be busy. The days/week flew by!

Jacque:: Sorry I missed you the other day. Was actually busy at work!:p
Nice car you bought! Love my civic!:)

Hey girls,

Had a pretty busy day today, but was able to get out and meet a friend for lunch. I didn't get my Insanity discs back....ugh...maybe on Monday.
I'm sticking to cardio this weekend and maybe splitting UB/LB. We don't have any plans but I have a list a mile long of things that need to get done in the house. It's a mental list, I need to write it up and start assigning tasks.

Wendy....did you say Asylum was released....I'm ordering it this weekend then!

Laura-Glad Buster is okay...how frightening to see it happening before your very eyes. I hate going new places just because I'm sssooooo directionally challenged.

Lori-Nice workout Missy!

I'm just now getting ready to leave work and will have to stop at the liquor store for some Mike's Hard Lemonade or Mojito's...amaretto sours...who knows! You ladies have started me down the path of CAB's and I can't say that I mind a bit! TGIF
 
Good Morning:)

I forgot to turn my alarm off last night so I was woke up at 6:30. Went back to sleep for a little while but woke up again shortly after 7:20.

DS's appt went well yesterday. They basically told us that he isn't autistic...which we assumed. We would have been shocked if they said he was. They enjoyed assessing him b/c he was charming them big time yesterday. DH and I left with a different understanding. I "think" they told us that he has behavioral issues but that's not related to his speech problem. But DH think they meant kids who have behavioral issues...oddly enough, I will ask his behavioral specialist on Monday. The Dr went into detail of how behavior issues can not be resolved over night and is a lengthy process...but yet DH doesn't think that she was talking about our child:confused: Im not gonna argue with him about it b/c I could be wrong. Instead I will call her on Monday and confirm what I think I heard.

Today's workout is gonna be some more legs, abs and a run outside. I am hoping to get outside the next 2 days. I am also hoping to take out my summer clothes to see what I have b/c we will be leaving on Thursday!:eek:

Diana** I see on FB that you ordered the new workouts? More insanity? Maybe you should only do them for a week at a time, lose 5 lbs...take a break, do it again, lose another 5 lbs....LOL To bad it wasn't that simple;) I needed a cab last night as well but by the time I settled down it was just as well to go to sleep!

Wendy** We are in competition for the mish mosh queen title;)

Laura** I guess you did get a scare. Our dog does this weird thing where he is making sounds like he is pumping up a air mattress and it comes out of no where...its odd. I am glad he is o.k though!!!! We aren't taking kids on vaca and I know exactly what is gonna happen. DH didn't want to take them and I would have, we will get there and he will be the one whining about missing them:mad:

I will bbl.

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies.

Busy weekend ahead....

A) I need to hit Sports Authority. I want to replace the few sets of neoprene DB's I have with cast iron ones ;)-I want to buy place weights and they won't be very useful if I can't use them with these particular DB's.:rolleyes:

2- I need to hit the food store for weekly shopping + ingredients for the YTB determined new recipe of the week that I will cook this weekend!:)

c) Promised DS I'd take him to see HOP in the movie theater.:D

4. The house needs to be picked up desperately and the laundry is starting to pile up!:eek:

Lori:: I will be working legs today too. I am in pain just THINKING about it! STS M2 W2 D17 OUCH!:eek: I am not surprised that you and DH both understood the doc differently. Doctor's have their own language, I swear. I wish they'd learn to speak in english so that us "normal" folk could understand it! :rolleyes:

Diana:: Things happen for a reason and I believe, in this case, that you did not get your INSANITY discs back yet so that you could order ASYLUM and would begin that rotation instead! :D ...Or perhaps I am just great at justifying any fitness purchase in the universe for myself and others! ;) LOL @ the CABS and you. I lurve 'em and consider them a treat for myself which I thoroughly enjoy and do not feel bad about! :)

Happy Saturday! BBL or tmrw~:cool:

Hi Ladies,

I stayed up until after midnight last night watching some of my recorded shows. I also slept in until 8:45. I wrote up a To Do list so I can get moving on some stuff I'd been procrastinating about.

I ordered the The Insanity Asylum last night...and am really looking forward to it. It looks very different from Insanity and a lot like what we do in our summer bootcamp. It also comes with 3 hybrid rotations:
1. Asylum
2. Asylum / Insanity
3. Asylum / P90X
I'm considering the Asylum/P90X rotation.

Lori-Yep, the Asylum should arrive late next week or early the following week. I haven't received a shipping notice yet, but it said 5-7 days. Sorry you and DH aren't on the same page regarding the Dr. visit.

Wendy-I like your justification....I kinda thought the same thing. I didn't buy the deluxe package but would've if I could've afforded it. I can always order it later. I have a long laundry list of stuff to get done too. The first of which is my workout/s. I don't have plate mates, but I wish I did. I do have very light weights for my bbl, starting as low as 1.25lbs.

bbl
 
Nothin' like being up before 6am on a Sunday for no good reason! :rolleyes:

I need to hit Sports Authority. I want to replace the few sets of neoprene DB's that I have with cast iron ones ;)-I want to buy place weights and they won't be very useful if I can't use them with these particular DB's.:rolleyes:....CHECK for the 5's and 10's but went to two stores and couldn't find 12's. The search continues. Also ordered the place weights. I got 4 of them. I think that should be enough. I already have plate mates which are 1.25 # a piece so getting more place weights seemed silly. Can't wait to try em out! :D

I need to hit the food store for weekly shopping + ingredients for the YTB determined new recipe of the week that I will cook this weekend!:)...On today's to-do list! Have the recipe narrowed down to 1 of 2 choices as well.

Promised DS I'd take him to see HOP in the movie theater.:D....Also on today's to do list! A matinee after my work out! :)

The house needs to be picked up desperately and the laundry is starting to pile up!:eek:...Got a lot of this done y'day. Need to finish up today.

Today's work out will be STS M2 W2 D18 + cardio and abs! :D

Diana:: Can't wait to start hearing your reviews for ASYLUM. I have the 1.25 pound plates for my BB too. The small increments really come in handy sometimes.
 
Good Morning:)

Let's try this again. I tried to post on DD's computer but some how my post was deleted....thank goodness I only just started it.

I stayed in bed until DS woke me up. When we got up DH was already awake and that's a rare situation in itself. As soon as he seen DS I knew what was going on. He said " I got up b/c I was having a panic attack about leaving him":mad:. Here we go...here is the start of it. He is the one who never wants to take the kids and then he is the one who whines the most.

Today I need to do the remaining things on my list. I need to get some groceries, get my clothes ready, buy comfy sandals and some glasses and make a list of DS's schedule for my mom. Although, she may take him to her house for the week but who knows how that's gonna go.

Yesterday I did 16k. Haven't done that in a while. Good news is...my time was faster then the last time I did a 10 mile race in the city!:D Race time is always faster....so now I really wanna do that race this year. Plus it still gives me a few months to work on more speed:eek: If not I should probably be able to cut a couple of mins off of my last time.

Wendy** Sounds like your tackling that list. I should have went to bed earlier last night and stated my list earlier as well. Nothing opens until lunch time so that's the earliest I can start doing stuff. Although...I think the grocery store might be open.

Diana** That sounds like a good plan. Highly unlikely I will be ordering these set considering I don't use to first set! LOL

My workout plan today is another run outside and HR. I should be able to get some good workouts in before we leave for our trip. The lady I usually train in the morning is away on her vaca and the other day I train...I still haven't heard from. Actually, she wanted me to come over for coffee yesterday but to by honest, I just don't have the time to sit and listen to someones prob's right now.

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

Well I didn't get as many items crossed of my list as I had hoped yesterday. I'm going to keep at it today though. I did go shopping for a new trash can and ended up buying the rest of the girls easter stuff. I think they now each have 4 outfits, coloring books/markers, bubble with cool bubble blower.

Yesterday I ended up doing LIC since I didn't have the time for 2 w/o's. I might do a more leg focused mish mosh today. I'm thinking 2 segments Lowmax, legs, 2 segments lowmax, legs etc. Definitely need to add some ab work too. I forgot how much I like the ab work in LIC.

Lori-Is this the hilly race you're talking about? Your getting faster without really trying....how cool is that! We didn't leave our kids much when they were younger, but he's with the grandparents and will be fine. How long is your trip?

Wendy-My 12s and 15s have a coating on them, but most are the octagon starting 10's and ending at 35s. I wish I had 17.5s like they do at the rec ctr. It's tough going from 15s to 20s...for me anyway. Hope you find what your looking for, they will come in handy in meso 3! I used my weighted gloves for additional weight in Meso 3.

LauraR-you must be on your way...

Jacque-what kind workouts have you been up to this past week? I order Shaun T's The Insanity Asylum. It will probably ship on Monday and be delivered later this week.

LauraT-so are you sitting by the pool? We got rain/snow last night. The snow is only on the grassy areas and should melt today. I have my madonna lift treatment scheduled for Thursday after work. I'm getting nervous, but was told they will give me a zanax ahead of time.

I guess I should get busy and finish up my to do list.
 
Back to report my mish mosh is done: Lowmax & Legs circuit using 50lbBB.
Lowmax 1&2
32 squats, 16 lunges/leg
Lowmax 3&4
32 plie squats, 16 deadlifts
Lowmax 5&6
16 side lunges/leg using 15# DB
24 elevated lunges/leg using 15# DB
Lowmax 7..completed w/o.
48 hip lifts using stability ball
48 hip lifts with 50# on abs as resistance
Ab Circuits Stability Ball

Off to shower and get back to my to do list. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.
 
Diana: My DB's go from 2# up to 25# and then I have the Bowflex Select Techs that take me up to 52.5# (as if I'll ever need a 50# DB!?!? :eek:). It's funny you mention the 17.5# DB. My select techs have that weight on them but I can also make it by putting plate mates on my 15's. You should consider investing in plate mates or place weights. They are a big help. I love the gloves for kickboxing but find them to be a pain for weight lifting when I have to keep taking them off and putting them on again. This is why I am buying place weights. I am hoping it decreases my need for the gloves. NICE MISH MOSH! You out did my sorry butt girl! GOOD JOB! :D


Well dinner is in the oven and just about ready and it smells good! BBL or in the morning! :)
 
Good Morning:)

I accomplished a fair bit yesterday. I think I have all of my things gathered up and I really don't need to buy anything else. Although I went to the mall and this was catching my eye...and that was catching up eye!:eek: I have enough clothes for the 7 days I will be away. I ordered two more suit from VS though and they should be here on the 13th which is cutting it pretty close cause we leave on the 14th. If they don't arrive, we do know a couple of people who work with the postal service so maybe they could check the next days mail in the evening:D I did that before when I ordered a pair of VS boots and I wanted them for a girls night. I have a couple of other things to do, like write down DS's schedule for my mom but I can do that at work.

Yesterday's workout was 10k outside and HR. I am not sure what I will do today. Maybe a smaller run and then some bike...I have little over an hour to workout. I will figure something out.

Diana** Nice mish mosh yesterday! Looked good. We are gone for 7 days. We leave on Thursday and we are back Thursday night. I was thinking that we both had to work that Fri but thankfully its good friday and DH is off. I think DS would have lost his mind if we came back and went right back to work. And then I am off Sat and Sun.

I hope I have a busy day at work b/c I don't wanna get sleepy later. I did have 8 hours of sleep though..I should be fine.

BBL
Lori:)
 
Morning.

I left out the GOOD part of it cause I didn't fall asleep until after midnight last night. :mad: Thank goodness today was my planned rest day so that I could sleep in! :eek:

Lori:: Silly silly girl! You and DH will be wanting to take w/e jaunts without the kids (or perhaps it's just DS in particular?) once a month after this solo vacation you are taking!:p It's tough to leave em behind at first but trust me, it gets easier! ;):D Enjoy your work out today and I am quite jealous of your 8 hour snooze! :(

Off to finish coffee#2 and get my tired arse in the shower!
