Good Morning!

Lora - so glad you're enjoying your job! I agree I look forward to my Fridays!!!

Ally - Great Workout girl! You are kickin butt with it!

I did Turbo Scuplt this morning! Two weeks straight that I've been working out in the morings before work! Yay for me.

Hello to all that follow, and have great workouts! Welcome back Charlotte, I've MISSED you!!!

Hello to all that follow!
 
Morning Maniacs! TGIF! It's been a long hard week at work for me and I am so glad it's almost over!! These extra hours at work have totally worn me out and I went to bed at 8:30 last night and slept like a log. LOL! I'm hoping to get out on my bike later today, haven't been on it since Sunday!

Lora- I'm glad you are likeing your job, that's wonderful! I'm still debating if I should get "Red Carpet Ready" (darn that Skwigg!). Don't you have it? If so, what do you think of it?

Char-Wow! Sounds like you had a great time with the hubster! What a great surprise with the ring and all. Can't wait to see pictures.:) I've seen that biking jersey you bought. It's a cool one!

Ally- Great workout! I'm not so sure about the pb crackers and wine though! Cheese and wine, yes, but pb crackers?? LOL!!!!!!!!

Sandy- Great job on the morning workouts! I haven't been able to do it. I just love to linger in the mornings and get my mind working (la la la) and by then it's time for work. Plus, I on the 6th Harry Potter book and that's when I've been reading.

Suz- I just saw that you weren't able to run the Bolder Boulder!!! OMG! I bet you were mad about that! Darnit! How are you feeling now, since the bike crash?

Later Crazies!

Morning:D


Last night, I did Strike Zone and that was ENOUGH I forgot about all the side raises and kicks, had a good workout. This morning, I was scheduled to do upper body but I decided to save that for this evening. Instead I did CC6.

Cardio Stats:

54:00 minutes
420 calories burned
3.80 miles travelled

Lora: I bet you are getting good results I checked out the site. I wish I could get this workout but, just can’t afford it. Keep up the good work:)

Ally: Nice job. You just inspired me. Instead of wiping the dusks off my chin up bar and every now and than when walking in my bedroom, I'll do just ONE chin-up I’m going to start using it. Need to do a search on forum, there was an article someone posted how to increase doing chin-ups. Thanks.

Okay need go order CC8, bbl
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!!

So good to be back. I have to workout my jello body today..haven't workout in a week as ya know. Gonna do shoulders/abs/legs. Got to mow the grass too. Already very hot outside.

Uploading pics here in a few..check back in 30 mins.

Bionics,

So you seen the biking outfit? Yeah, it is cool. Will take pictures of me wearing it when the time comes. Good to hear from you again.

Lora,

Glad to be missed. Hope everything is going well for you.

Teddygirl,

Very nice workout! How's things going. You keeping your man in line??? hehe.

Sandy,

Got your messages. Thanks for the comments and such. Glad to be back home again, but was a very good time.

Ally,

Very nice workout.
 
Toasty: I missed you, glad you are back. Yep, I'm keeping him in line. I can’t wait too see pictures. Did you meet any ghosts:+
 
Had a great cardio workout this morning. I did one of the Cardio Coach mixes I made up. It was very fun and I really challenged myself this morning. My cardio endurance seems to be excellerating greatly after my week off. With the last challenge in this mix I got my HR up to 171 bpm. My highest in level 4 is 176 (and has never been reached) and until today I have never seen anything above 166. So I am flying about this. And the thing is I was breathless when I got done, but not dying like I usually am. It felt great!

I attempted to do the ab work from BM2. Attempted is the key word here. I don't know what is going on with my neck/shoulder muscle that I always have problems with. I figured with my week off and it has technically been over 2 weeks since I've done shoulder/trap work, that this muscle would have heeled by now. I did the first 8 reps of the hip lifts and that damn muscle spasmed again. It hurt like hell. So I had to stop, rub it out and I just figured I'd do abs tomorrow if I have time. WTH? I don't get why this is such a problem all the time. It's getting old.

[font color=indigo]Cardio stats:[/font]

Char - Glad to see you're back! Missed you girl!
 
Good Morning, got my workout over. I started with itread and tush #19 and stayed on the treadmill a little longer. Even the lower body work between intervals kept the HR up while doing mountain climbers and walking lunges. Total workout was 1hr 6 min and I burned 519 calories. Then I did Amy Bento's All Pump Extreme doing the multi joint segment and then the total body premix skipping core which I will do tomorrow. Total Calories burned today was 938.
I was only in my zone for 27 minutes. Total workout time was 2 hr and 19 min. When I finished I did the first part of Keli Roberts Foam roller flexibility workout to roll out my shoulders and back.

Debbie,

Missed you too!

Diane Sue,

Thank you. The place was very nice and so were the people. The beds were not the most comfortable, but that was o.k.

Well I finished my ab workout and now to do shoulders. Getting late. Had so many things going on today. My pushmower wheel came off and had to mow like a monkey..holding one side of pushmower up and pushing forward with other arm til I got the front of lawn mowed and then had my neighbor help me as he came over on his tractor. My daughter needed new tires for her car so I had to run around for that too..it was never ending. Like to be busy though...was sitting in the car for so long during our trip..good to move around.
 
Hi Ladies,

I have been wanting to join your check in chats but was a bit apprehensive. You are all so disciplined. But, what the heck. I w/out 6 days a week and my biggest goal is trying to eat clean and get rid of the junk. So, I guess I will post what I eat and please anyone just shout out to me if there is something I need to trash and replace with something better. My one problem is meeting a good daily caloric number. If I still could use some calories at the end of a day, I know I can make a protein shake, but what time of day should be a cutoff? I will probably have many questions in the future and hope you ladies can help.

So, today I did Sharon Twombley Athletic Step Jam.

Meals:

1-protein pancake, some skim milk, sugar free syrup (Don't know about this for clean)

2-BSN shake with some banana and peanut butter

3-turkey (3ounces)ate a half of a mini chocolate chip muffin (not clean-I know, I am a chocoholic how do I get over that?)

4-salmon burger, green beans, small salad w/light dressing

5-fiber one yougurt

Was this enough for today? Any suggestions welcome.

Toasty - nice pic's.....I swear you have such a baby face. In a couple of those pics where you don't look like you have much (if any) makeup on, you look like a teenager! Glad you had a good time and had a romantic trip. I know how much quality time with your DH makes you happy. The ring pic is a little fuzzy...but from what I can see, it's beautiful. Good for you!!
 
Lora,

Thanks. Always nice to look like a teenager. You look pretty young yourself. We had a teen wait on us when we ordered drinks. She insulted us and said we looked waaaayyyy passed 21. I laughed and she tried to "undo" what she said..was a real mess. hehe. No harm. Yes, love the time I have with him. Has been nice. However, he will be starting up with the traveling stuff again, just for this month as others are taking vacations. I will manage just fine though. I must have taken about 7 shots of pictures of the ring..kept coming out blurry. The ring has 16 little diamonds around it and the center one is 1/2 karat. Must have looked thru 8 jewelry stores to find the right one as my fingers are tiny and most of the rings looked too bulky on my finger. Had to have this one downsized to a size 5 too.
