Good morning ladies..

Getting us started...

Today is Strong legs and abs for me....

Be back later to chat...
 
Ok don't pass out - yup it's me lol

Squeeze Stronger for me today - yesterday was iTread 32 I got it free w/ the download code :D it was a good run.

I have my mom visiting and I've been taking her out every day ;) plus we just celebrated my youngest daughter's birthday last Wednesday the 10th so she is now 11 yrs old. Yesterday was my oldest daughter's birthday and now I have a 19 yr old.

We have also decided on a neighborhood finally to get our house built so in Jan/ Feb will will start the process of starting that ( contract - paperwork yada yada ) so we can move around July /August of next year - this subdivision has a wonderful pool for the family and trails to walk and run :)
God willing things will work out for us. I am honestly getting anxiety attacks just thinking about getting our house ready for selling and now my dh wants to replace our pine stairs w/ gunstock color oak stairs :confused: to match the solid wood floors he put in a few years ago. All I see is what needs to be done and I get so nervous :(

Sorry I havent been around lately here or on FB but I hope to remedy thatto get back in the loop with you all.

Hugs to you all!

Good Morning Girls!

Posting after my workout today instead of before. I did Power Hour... It's so funny because I think , "Oh, only 20 lbs, Cathe?.." and then the endless reps come and GETCHA good!

It has definitely turned summer here today. Wow! It's sunny, humid and HOT. I have some cleaning to do, shopping, and then going to hit the pool with the boys.

I slept like crapola last night, because I wasn't used to the warmth. I didn't want to put the AC on quite yet, so i tossed and turned and slept horribly. See, I HAVE to have a blanket on, and it doesn't work so nice when it's so warm out. So I battled that all night long. *sigh*

Kathy: Strong Legs and Abs, is that Pure Strength? Enjoy!!!

Vilma: YAY :eek: Good to see you! That's right, you did say your mom was coming for a visit. I forgot! Happy BirthdayS to your daughters!!! So you decided to built instead of buy? The area sounds perfect!! I remember when we were trying to sell our condo, and the realtor said unless it was structure related, we shouldn't put any money into making the place look better, because it basically was throwing money away, we'd never get the worth back when selling. Just something to think about, but I know husbands do what husbands do, right?

Beth: thanks for the time estimate on Plyo legs revised! Sounds like a do-able thing on a day I want to run too! (talk about double whammy for the legs though!!)

My boys are rambuctious today. joy joy!
 
Vilma! Good to hear from you! Very exciting about the house, but I completely understand the anxiety that goes with it, too. Yikes! And birthdays! Happy belated to both.

Hey Everyone. I ended up doing Lalo this morning -- I love that workout, and I finally figured out he's saying "exhale"! :D I thought he was trying to say "accelerate" but that it was coming out "excel". Man I'm getting old or something.

I needed a workout because I ate way too much last night. Great dinner -- they cooked fish and everything else was from garden -- beans with thyme & oregano, grilled beets and eggplant, mashed potatoes. And then dessert was angel food cake with berries from their yard! And whipped cream. Well, we ate that, and Dave sliced another slice and put it on his plate, then he put one on Larry's, who was busy devouring the whipped cream in the jar. They fixed their plates up with the berries and w.c. and I said "oh good" because I took a bite from Larry's plate. Well, somehow when I wasn't looking, Dave had put another slice on mine! We all had seconds of dessert -- it was crazy! And this after Larry and I had got into the chips and salsa earlier because it was 6:30 and they hadn't yet started cooking. Ug, I went to bed sooooo full!!

My kids are rebelling against sports camp this morning..... Travis didn't sleep well. We may have a change in plans today......
 
Well I'm done w/ my workout boy was it good I had forgotten how intense it can be

Chris we need to keep the ac on if not we just can't sleep at all as it is hot and humid here in the south ;)
I know about not putting any more work on the house but dh spoke to a Realtor and she said that it may be a good idea for him to match the stairs with the floors (the stairs are oak but stained a natural color while the floor has the gunstock color) :confused:

Beth sounds like a great dinner you had - I'm playing w/ the idea of going vegetarian as I already don't eat much meat so all that garden fresh goodies had me salivating ;)


Well off I go to get some stuff done hear as my mom wants to go out soon :D

Vilma: Glad you found a place to build. Sounds like a wonderful neighborhood. Is the housing market good there? Hope you sell when you need to..Keep enjoying your mom's visit!!

Chris: Yes, it is from the pure strength series..It was tough!! I will keep those 20 pounds in mind. I have powerhour on the schedule in about 4 days I think it is..Summer found us as well. It has been HOT HOT HOT here too. Yesterday was 96..

Beth: Yummy dessert. Angel food isn't as fattening. So, look to the bright side of it. It sounds yummy. Inspiring me to make some. I have a whole bag of blackberries I picked at a friend's house on Tuesday. I may use them like you described or make a fruit tart!!

Ok, got through strong legs and abs...Now, it is time for Lauren's book club. She had an awesome week in creative writing camp. So, that pleased me so much..

Talk to you later..
 
Kathy, re: angel food cake: our friend Dave kept saying "it's just yummy tasting air!" :p

We made a split decision to head down the coast in the van this weekend.... gotta get some stuff together. Guess I'm having hiking workouts for a couple of days!
 
Hey again..

Beth: Lalofit is a GREAT calorie burner! I agree. OMG, I thought he was saying "EXCEL" the whole time. LOL!!! Too funny! That meal sounds delish, though! I can see why you'd eat extra. But it sounds very healthy, and yes, Angel Food Cake IS just flavored air! I always overdo on chips and salsa. I love those Lime flavored tortilla chips, they got me LAST Friday. Sounds like a fun weekend you have in store for you!... Do you get to swim in the ocean or is it just hiking/looking/viewing?

Vilma: Definitely if the realtor suggested the woodwork. I thought you weren't with a realtor anymore? It's good you can still get in your workkouts when your mom is there. My mom always encourages me too! (it de-stresses me!)



Kathy: Thought it was PS! ... Yes, just go with what Cathe uses on PH, don't go more! (though I think I could have with the triceps. or at least longer.)

It's turned quite cloudy , and supposed to downpour tonight. I'm glad we got in the pool today! Hope tomorrow is less muggy. I'm wrestling with the decision to put on the AC tonight. Not sure I do another night like last... But I'm so resistant to it. I love open windows and AIR!...
 
Chris DH still wants to try to sell this house on his own but the realtor for the new house mentioned it after he asked her opinion lol.

As it is I would rather opt to sell this house using a realtor its just a matter of time before he comes to his senses lol
