I Hate Cardio Check-In, 4/11

*SIGH*

I was bad yesterday. Well, let me amend that statement. I was good to family, but bad to me. I had to reevaluate my week and change my workout schedule or I'd never be able to work it all in. I was gone most of the day and all evening yesterday so I couldn't get the cardio in. Same deal on Wednesday because I have a funeral, an appt with my eye doctor, and a family dinner. SOOOOOooooo, I changed my big cardio days from M-W-F to T-T-S. I made yesterday my day off. I don't know if I mentioned yesterday that I have family visiting from Philadelphia so there's a lot going on around here.

I have to run because I have an appointment this morning to have my car checked out. The AC isn't working:eek: :eek: :eek: ;( ;( ;( and I can't have that! Requesting positive vibes that it's nothing more serious than needing to top off my refrigerant.

I haven't had a chance to catch up on this thread from yesterday and see what you all were up to...I'll try to do that later.

You chicas have a great day and I'll check back later.

Michele:)
 
Hi Haters!

Busy yesterday so didn't get a chance to check up on all the haters here! I did my extended lowmax yesterday and it just about "extended" all I had in me! LOL! I have been working my legs like mad! Today I am doing BC and PUB and I will cleaning today so another busy day. Tomorrow visits to the dentist.

Michele,

Hope you get everything done that needs to be done and have a good time with your family. I am going to be a working girl starting next week so I am going to have to figure out when to get in my workouts, clean, etc. Going to be crazy until I adjust. I will not let my workouts go though. I can't do that. Got into a little nasty habit of letting workouts go here and there, but I am not going back to that!!!!!!! My only dilemna is lifting heavy early in the morning. Usually doesn't work very well for me and I want to make sure I get my workouts in so morning is when I should do them or I am afraid I won't get them in. So anyhoo, I have to figure this all out.

Michele - I feel your pain and I'm sending more good vibes your way. Believe me, I know how it is to be too busy to workout, and your life is more important some days. There are other priorities.

Char Char - I usually can't finish Low Max, so I can't imagine what the extended version would be like!

Today I was supposed to get up and do KickMax, but I have been feeling like I am on the verge of getting a cold (just when the weather gets nice, so weird) so I decided to get a couple extra hours of sleep and just workout at lunch. So I am going to do some sort of cardio medley, 15 min of 3 different cardio machines, and then a quick leg workout to hopefully make up for missing Legs & Glutes on Saturday, though I never workout as hard without Cathe pushing me.

I have a lot of work today, so I will check in when I can later.
 
Morning haters,

Already had a busy morning. I just got done with the workout. Not very happy with the cardio today, managed to be on the treadmill for a total of 30 mins, but got so many distractions, DH, DD, phone, I was like people leave me alonE!!!
I also managed to get most of GS legs in today. I skipped a few parts due to legs being a little shall we say "JELL-O". I know the DOMS is going to kick in tomorrow and KM is going to be a little hard to do tomorrow. Oh well, life goes on.

Did I mention my legs feel like J-E-LL-OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
it is already starting to kick in...ouchy...ouchy...ouchy.

Char-Char~ you my hero. LM superwoman! Where is the new job? What are you going to be doing in your new job? Congrats on being a working girl again! My days are getting numbered....back to the grind soon....number crunching can be a little borning for me...!!!

Diane~ girl it's this crazy weather. One day it's hot, then we have this nice cooler weather (I am sure the rest of the gang is laughing at us because we think 85 is cooler...little do they know what a true Houston summer feels like)..and then the nasty hot and humid weather like last week. Maybe allergies? I know they are hitting me really hard right now. Breathing for me outside is not fun (asthma and allergies). Hope you do feel better soon...sending good vibes.....go away cold....go away....

Ellen~ you must be off hiding with the cute pool boy, let me guess he showed up later and well the rest is history..hehehe..just kidding!

Michele~ well, if I am doing my cardio why are you not doing your cardio? I thought we had a deal...are you letting me down...speaking of deal did anyone watch deal or no deal last night? I am such a Prison Break junkie I am glued to that show on Monday night so I miss Deal or No Deal. Anyway, where was I, ADD kick in there...oh yeah, Michele not doing cardio. I expect you WILL be doing your CARDIO today no excuses, period end of story. I expect a full 10 page report on why not doing cardio is not good for you by 5 PM CST today or I am sending Char-Char after you and trust me you don't want Toasty on your Booty. Hopefully your car will be no biggie and your a/c will be running again soon.

Dana~ how's it going today? Hopefully everyone slept in your house all night last night? What's on tap for the cardio today?

Ok I am off must eat breakfast now. BBL
 
Diane,

Here is the extended version of lowmax...I think you need to give it a whirl, whatcha say?

Marleywoman,

LOL! The job is with an Outfitters....renting out canoes to people, etc. Working front desk in a backwoods country setting and inside an old countrystore. Makes me feel like I will be on Walton's Mountain. LOL!

Your eating breakfast now? What time is it there? Gosh, time for me to eat lunch!!!

30 mins on the treadmill and GS too? WOW! Should I call you "MarleyMarathon"? Yeah, I suppose your legs should feel like jello right about now. I am still suffering from DOMS in the thighs. My glutes have lightened up a bit. I still have PUB and BC to do and will get to after lunch. Nothing like jumping up and down with food in your belly! Never bothers me. Rather have the food in there and not have any and pass out. I need the fuel and need to know it is there. I use to pass out in school alot...blackouts, etc. I never want to go thru that again. Scares me.

Charlotte~~
 
Wow, extended Low Max sounds killer! I will have to try that on a weekend or something when I have some more time. Cardio and leg workout into one, that is a good idea.

I have a dilemma. I got invited to lunch with those girls from work that I like to have lunch with and want to go, but I am not sure if I can workout after work...I might have to stay late and work tonight. But, I know DH is working late tonight, so it might actually be good for me to workout after work so that I am not bored at home until he gets home. I will just have to try and finish my work faster today so that I can get out of here. Hmmm...this is a real dilemma.
 
I am in shock. The estimate to repair my a/c is over $2000.00. Yes, you read that right...OVER 2 THOUSAND!!!!! dollars. I want to cry.

I rented a car and came home. As soon as I can breathe again I'll do my cardio.

Michele
 
Michele,

WTH?????x( Maybe you should get another estimate? That just seems high. What is wrong with it? My gosh! Maybe you would feel better if you got another estimate...I dunno, girl. That just seems very high.

Charlotte~~
 
oh my gosh 2K? YIKES ouch!!! So not cool....Go for a second opinion and see what they say, just my thoughts.

Char-Char~ ohh how cool. Job sounds like fun!! It is only 11:15 here in Tejas, I think DMoney (Diane) are 2 hours behind most of you guys.

Diane~ ok go for the lunch, but try to make time tonight if possible. You need to get out and mingle with co-wokers help build goodwill. Just finished ethics can you tell??

Shower time...oh my DD is cranky today!!!
 
Checking in quickly to say hi and let you know I'm planning on some cardio later today.

Going through a rough patch at home and just need to work through it all. :)
 
Hi Jana and Toasty,

I know it seems high, but I've been taking my car to the same place forever and know them really well. I've always found them to be honest and on the up & up. DH trusts them, too. I have an SUV with front and back a/c systems. It's 7 years old and has never needed a major repair before so I guess I shouldn't complain. They said they filled the system and it leaked a pound of coolant in 30 minutes...it has multiple leaks throughout the system. :-( OH well, this too shall pass...and it's still cheaper than buying a new car.

ETA a hello to Ellen and I hope your "rough patch" smooths out very soon.

Michele
 
Michele - $2,000! That is practically stealing. I would get a second opinion.

Toasty - Sounds like a cool job, much better than a desk job.

Jana - No wonder it seems like everyone is up at the crack of dawn, they are 2 hrs ahead.

Ellen - Sorry you are going through a rough patch, were are here if you need us.

I am going to lunch, and then working at lightning speed to finish up so things due today I can workout after work.
 
Hey haters!

Ellen - hoping that things smooth out for you at home.

Michele - sorry to hear about your car. That stinks.

Diane - I say go to lunch too! Maybe you can squeeze in a little something later.

Jana - sounds like you had a nice workout.

Char Char - your job sounds wonderful, my kind of job! I don't know about anybody else but everytime I hear the commercial for Quizno's I think of you, "mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, toasty" LOL

Just got back from my walk. BEAUTIFUL outside! Tonight I"m either going to do Bootcamp, MM or ME? What one do you think I should do?

Well back to work for me. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO glad that tomorrow is my last day! I have off until Tuesday for Easter break.
 
Dana,

You just have to do Booty Camp! That is what I am doing later today. I am just about to get started with PUB since I got some cleaning out of the way. Don't get me thinking about Quizno's. You silly woman! I got a Playboy tank top that says "Sweet and Tasty", but I tell everyone it really says, "Sweet and Toasty"! LOL! Hubby and son don't like it much, but I worked for it!

Charlotte~~
 
Dana--BOOTCAMP, BOOTCAMP, BOOTCAMP! You can do it!

Girls, I'm over the shock and I just finished an excellent and healthy lunch of stir-fried veggies with a small piece of pan seared pork tenderloin. Basic step and the lower body add on are up for this afternoon.

See you later!

Michele
 
Dana,

Get that booty going!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!

Michele,

Food always makes you feel better along with some tantalizing workouts! }( :p

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte I am at work right now. LOL I think I'd get some rather odd looks if I started doing bootcamp right now. I'm going to attempt it around 7:30 tonight. Should have everything cleaned up from dinner and the kiddies bathed by then.

But, Gabe loves the cardio in Bootcamp so I think I'll have a buddy.
 
Dana,

When I went to work once, I did plyo's in the bathroom. Mostly men there so I knew no one would bother me. LOL! I am not suggesting anything...just saying.
Charlotte~~
 
Char-Char you have offically entered the "you are nuts catagory"! plyo at work, yep you are nuts

Dana~How sweet a buddy to help out with the cardio sections. Ok, you have inspired me to do bootcamp this week. I think on Friday.
