Good morning, haters. I am your guest starter, Robin. Don't believe anything Michele told you about me. Now, to get started. Don't you all think hate is a rather harsh word? Maybe you can be the "I really don't care for cardio, thank you very much check in." I think that sounds much nicer. Anyway, today I have lots of errands to do after work including a visit to my colorist to become semi-attractive for this weekend GTG at Roch-cha-cha, and grocery shopping at the time of day when I'm famished and have to walk past the angel-cream filled, chocolate iced donuts. But I digress. That's for another thread. Long story short, I don't have time to workout, cardio or otherwise. What are your plans for the day? Whatever they are, do so heartily.
 
Good morning Robin & all you haters. Sorry but we must keep our check in as I HATE cardio b/c I think that most of us truly hate it. :p Except maybe for Char-Char but we all know that she is one CRAZY woman!!! :p

Today is another busy day for me. Will get my walk in at lunch but we're having some family over for cake tonight at 6:00 so it will depend on what time they all leave as to whether or not I'll get in a real workout.

I was so busy last night, didn't get to bed until 11:00. I get so sidetracked. I went in at 10:45 to get Gabe's clothes ready for today and then I started going through his drawers pulling the stuff that doesn't fit him. What the heck is wrong with me????

I just have to share this with you b/c he is so funny. This morning Gabe gets up at 5:50 and runs downstairs. First he asks for his cake (which I don't have, got to pick that up after work). Then he tells me that he doesn't feel like he is 5, and asks if he looks 5? Then he asks if he is going to lose his voice b/c he is 5? He also told me that he didn't think that his sneakers (that we just bought on Saturday) won't fit b/c he is 5? When DH came downstairs he said, "Daddy I start Kindergarten today b/c I am 5". He is so silly.

Anywho, how is everyone today?

Jana, is your knee feeling better?
Michele, are you BSing today?
Ellen, how are things?
Diane, what's on your agenda today? You are so busy I don't know how you do it. Do you run outside? Not sure what part of TX you live in but I saw on TV that Dallas was 95 degrees. Yowza!
August - kickboxing today?
Robin - you loving or hating cardio today? :p
Cassadine (hope I spelled that right) - don't think that I've officially welcomed you to cardiohateville. What's up with you today?

I hope that I didn't forget anyone. If I did, please forgive me. I have no brain. Jana, you were looking for a name for me, just call me the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz . . . if I only had a brain.

Have a cardiohatefilled day all!!!
 
Good Morning Haters!!!

Yesterday I think my body hated everything I did. Just plain tired! Feel much better this morning...great night's sleep. I am going to work biceps/triceps/shoulders and do some plyo's inbetween. I get to pretend to be catwoman...too bad I don't have a tight black suit to wear!!!:p I think my plyo's will consist of jumping over hurdles, tuck jumps and jumping off my stepper. There are some others I may throw in there too. I have to go to the grocery store today and I have a doctor's appt so I will be busy. DD used up all the hot water before she left for school and so now I will have to rush to make my doctor's appt as I have to wait for the water to warm up again.
Speaking of which, considering taking a ice bath when I work my legs hard.

Mighty Michele,

What are you up to today?

Where is Marathonwoman? Did you get all your cleaning done yet?

Where is August? Where are the others????????

Do it Dana,

What is this about cake and such? Anyhoo, Gabe sounds so cute. Such fun at that age. Well if I were to pick who I would be off the Wizard of Oz, it would be The Witch!!!! How about I be the witch here...."I'll get you my pretties if you don't do your cardio...ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Char Char
 
OK, if all insist on being haters, who am I to judge. Anyway, Dana, please give Gabe a Happy-5-Year-Old hug from me and tell him not to rush!
 
Buenos dias no buenos cardios,

Dana~ DMoney(diane) and I live in Houston where it is hotter than expected this year already. We had rolling black out's 2 days ago because of the weather and people blowing up the a/c's etc. (or so they say). Yes, it is already that hot here. It's a little hotter than normal but we never really had a winter so summer just got bumped up earlier this year. To top that off we have humidity that unless you live here you have to be crazy to live in it. Its not the best place in the world to live IMO, but there are perks it's not that expensive to have a really nice house compared to most places and the winter month can be really nice, it never really gets cold here. It's a trade off I guess. Enough about this place. How was the b-day for Gabe? Get good stuff? Have fun at school with the other kids? What's on tap for today with you?

Char-Char~ I somewhat finished cleaning my house, it's a never ending battle. My DH is not aware of the phrase "pick up after yourself", so I spend time picking up after him, DD and me, and yes a 5month old can really make a mess. I never get it done the way I want it, but oh well. Today is KM no blasts (must still watch knee). I am trying to get a Dr's apt but I only have the MIL to watch DD and she is being a hypocondriact (sp?) right now so it is hard. Yes I am doing my cardio and then I am going to do back/chest work from PUB and then floor work from PLB and some ab work from coremax. Uh, duh..how are you feeling, I forgot to ask. Any better today?

Michele~ should we post the sign "I'm doing my BS cardio so leave me alone"? hheheheheeeee

August~ what's up for you today?

DMoney~ girl too hot for the park, must be nuts. How are things? ARe you going to make it? 2 more days and then ahhh weekend...ohhhh...yeah. We are going to the international festival downtown this weekend. Should be fun. Have you ever been to one? They are fun. Good band playing on Sat night called Burning Spear. DH is all excited.

Who did I forget? I don't remember, but if I forgot you I will be back, must complete KM. Brain still not working just quite yet.
 
Good morning haters!!!

Thank you, Robin, for getting us started today. I really think you ought to eat a little something healthy before heading to the grocery store. Maybe you can grab a piece of fruit from the hospital cafeteria. What ever you do, BACK AWAY FROM THE DONUTS!!!

Girls, this is my totla body stretch day but I think I'm going to throw in a walk or floor aerobics. I'll have to see what it's like outside. It's sunny but I've been having a little trouble with allergies and several people in the hood have been mowing. Gets me every time!

Dana, OMG, how do you keep from laughing? Gabe sounds like a real cutie-pie. Please give him a big ole Bday hug for me. I love kids at that age---so sweet! I hope you have great walking weather! Don't worry about your work out tonight. There's only so many hours in a day. Oh, and no more late nights cleaning out drawers, you crazy girl!:p :7

Char-Char, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better today. What's up with you? Are you going to the doc for a routine check up or is something wrong? You can't be sick, you're the bionic woman! Don't hurt yourself with all that jumping around. Just so you know, the witch on OZ used to really freak me out when I was a kid. I used to run to my daddy every time she came on--lol!

Jana, how is life in suburbia? I live in a "bedroom community"--lol! I think it's much like what you describe. I don't love it but I'm gone a lot anyway. I'm situated between 2 cities in Ohio so I have easy access to both and I like that part of suburban life. What's up with you today? How's the knee?

Diane, have you dug yourself out from that pile of work on your desk. I'm sending you a lifeline. Geez, I didn't realize you've been running in all this heat. How do you do that? I hate to be hot, almost as much as I hate cardio. I think that's why I hate cardio...it makes me hot and sweaty--ick!

Ellen, Oh Ellen---where are you!?!?!?! Has anybody seen Ellen? We miss you!

August, how's it going? Are you kickboxing today or do you have some other form of torture planned?

Shelley, what kind of donuts?

I have a lot to do so I best get my butt out of this chair. I'll catch you later!

Michele
 
Char-Char~ ok so now you are feeling better and now I am out of energy for the first time in a long time. I made it through KM, but girl only 2 blasts no PLB floor and no shoulder/back on PUB. I don't know where my energy went???? uhhhh...don't care much for this.
 
Jana, I think I know where your energy went. You moved, set up your house in like 5 minutes, had people over for a holiday dinner the next day, and everything else. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Crazy...you're all freakin crazy:p

Well looks like we are taking turns? Sorry, you are not feeling the love today. I got to get groceries. No doctors appt. They called and screwed it all up. Had me in a different location so I go next week. Just gyno appt. nothing exciting...well, maybe for doctor. LOL! Anyhoo, so far I feel good so I hope to be jumping up and down today. I need a another stepper. I only have the cube size one.


Did someone say DONUTS? WTH? SHELLY???????

Charlotte~~
 
Robin - are you kidding? It was seeing the title of CARDIO HATERS that led me to come on board the Cathe forums! I'm not even joking!

Anyway, hello, residents of Cardiohatesville!

Hey, Dana - Gabe sounds totally cute. How great that he asked if he "looks 5." What a hoot! I hope you answered, "Don't you worry, you don't look a day over 4."

Char Char - I'm faithfully here and have finished kicking, punching and coughing up a lung. I never sweat, but I did today. It actually felt really great, as much as I hated it, of course....anyway, glad to hear you're feeling better! Oh, by the way, I've never tried the Myoplex (or I think that was the one you said will put a loaf in the belly lol). I'm taking Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack. It's totally yummy. I never, never read about anyone using this product...I hope there's nothing evil in it that everyone is avoiding...

Marleysmom - I LOVE humidity. I know, I know, but I honestly do. So I'm totally jealous that you and Diane are hot over there! What's on my workout agenda, you ask? Let's see, according to my workout schedule, looks like S&H tris and bis is next. Woo hoo! No cardio. Good Lord, you were planning on doing KM and then some PUB and THEN some PLB?! Are you nuts?!

Michele - It were those scary flying monkeys that freaked me out. Did you end up going for a walk?

Do you prefer cake or raised donuts? I prefer cake. Old-fashioned glazed. Oh gawd.
 
Doesn't really matter what kind. Just donuts. Tim Horton's is having a caramel festival right now. They have a caramel filled, chocolate dipped donut. YUM!
 
Shelley, I wonder if the Tim Horton's that's 5 minutes from my house is having the same festival? Oh, how I hope they aren't. I wish they didn't have a drive thru window:eek: ;(

Michele
 
Who is Tim Horton? We don't even have krispy kreme anymore. ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(

Michele~ can you fedex one of those to me please?
 
Jana, trust me, Tim Horton's is satan's lair. It's a soup and sandwich joint that also serves muffins, donuts, cookies, etc. And you can get all of these items right from the convenience of a drive thru window. I avoid it like the plague. When they first opened here I went through that %#&^% drive thru everyday for a week to get a PB cookie...a warm PB cookie. :eek: }( :p :9

Michele
 
uuuuhhhhhhh.....yyyyyyyuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyy.....wiping drool from mouth.....having cookie dreams......ummmm...yyyuuuummmmmmmyyyyyyy....evil place, some one should place a dead mouse in the bathroom and then call the health inspector to shut it down for being evil..heheheeee}( }( }( :p :p
 
Hi Everyone -

Finally got to my desk, had a long conference call this morning. Anyway, you will be so proud of me (sad for me) for what I did last night. I knew I would have to work a late night, but I also knew that I wouldn't be needed by my boss until later in the night, so I went to the gym around 7 pm and did a 30 min treadmill run/walk, showered, and went back to work and worked until 11 pm. She didn't even know I was gone (the person I was working for is on another floor). I was so beat down and tired that I had to walk the last 3 minutes instead of run, but running for 24 minutes is better than not doing anything at all! Work does not seem to be slowing down, I will be working this weekend.

Anyway, enough complaining. Today I am planning some kind of weight lifting, not sure what. Whatever I have time for when I get home tonight. I haven't lifted a single dumbbell for like a week, so I am feeling like a pile of mush.

Dana - Gabe sounds so cute! You have to video tape some of these things so he can watch himself and laugh when he is older. I like to run outside much more, and usually run in the morning when it is not quite as hot yet. If I don't run in the morning, I run on the treadmill at the gym. I have invested in a lot of coolmax clothes since I started running, you just can't run in cotton when it is so hot and humid!

Jana - I have not been to any festivals in Houston yet! I am so lame. I can't wait for this weekend, my plan is to sleep until noon on Saturday.

Charlotte - Glad to see you are feeling better! Sleep fixes everything, I think I may take a nap at my desk.

Michele - Have you done your walk yet???
