July 09 Checkin *****Wednesday 29th

[Kathy36]

Good morning ladies...

Getting us started out..

Today is my last workout on the July Rotation..Yeah!! I really can tell some improvements in the lower body. I really have enjoyed this month's rotation. Looking forward to August's rotation now..

Ok, today is PUB and the schedule says a power walk with the weighted vest..Not sure if the weather will allow a walk. It is cloudy and they say it is suppose to rain. So, that may put me on the elliptical again..

Oh and welcome back Joanne!!!

I need to reread yesterday's posts..I didn't have time to get back on here yesterday. HUbby works at home on Tuesday and uses my computer..

Be back later..

Hi Kathy -- enjoy PUB! I woke up early this morning so I could at least do HIS before getting into work but we went to bed after 11 so getting up at 5-530 wasn't happening. We were just cleaning and arranging and cleaning through the night and since I didn't get home until 8p last night, it took longer. But I'm excited to pick my mom up today. Naturally -- I don't know how -- but instead of losing weight in the last couple days, I've managed to gain. ::sigh:: I'll hear about it...

Good morning girls!

I started posting before and got side tracked. The boys are starting the petty fights early this morning and I hate being all wound up and crabby so early! I just don't want to hear, "MOM!" anymore. I need a calgon!

So, it's SOOOOO muggy and sticky-icky out, cloudy too. We're supposed to get thunderstorms this afternoon. I'm thinking I'm going to sweat my arse off in a few when I go start up Jillian Michaels BFBM Workout! I should do a little yoga, but I just don't feel yoga in this mugginess.

Kathy: I did PUB yesterday and am feeling some NICE DOMS in my upper body today, back and chest esp!! that's an awesome workout, I enjoyed it!

Hottie: I bet you look FINE, I'm POSITIVE you can NOT look much different from your pictures when you met Cathe, and you looked fantastic there, so no worries, feel confident and you will give off the aura of healthy and thin!! Enjoy the time with your mom too! How long is she staying?

Beth: Funny about our grills running out of propane! ... I ended up throwing our chicken breasts on our indoor grill (It's like a George Foreman, but a different brand). ... is your SF trip for business or pleasure? Hope you have a safe trip either way!!

to Joanne and Vilma!!!

better go get started on my WO, while the boys are quiet (or maybe quiet is NOT good!?!?)

 

[ShyWolf]

OMG!!!! I'm actually online

I swear I really hate AT&T during the summer


Joanne I see welcome back is in order - did you all have a good time?

Hottie enjoy your visit w/ your mom - I had my mom here for two weeks and I miss her so much I'm on the phone w/ her daily. Like Chris says I'm sure you look fine - don't worry

Kathy yay for you on finishing up July's rotation.


Hi Beth!

OY let me finish this post before my internet goes down again ugh.

Hey Everyone! Kathy, that's very cool about seeing changes after this month's rotation -- always a satisfying feeling!!

Hottie, what Chris said -- you can't look that much different -- enjoy the visit with your mom and just don't sweat it so much (sometimes I need to take my own advice!).

Vilma, good to see you again! Sorry about the internet woes!! Must be so frustrating for you.

Chris, I'm off to SF to see my dermatologist for the annual look-over -- I hate that part -- being examined very close up -- every inch of my skin! But, then I have lunch with my friend, so that part will be nice!!

Hi Joanne!! How's Caitlyn today?

I did cardio barre this morning -- I did the "advanced workout" -- some of those fast moves were hard for me to do. Again, not a huge cardio factor (as billed), but I didn't have time to tack on anything else and I know I will be walking those SF hills later, so it'll all work out. Gotta go get ready! Have a great day everyone.....

Hi ladies!! Happy hump day!

Today was Plyo Legs (#26). Thanks for the idea for doing that one, Kathy. Loved it! And, I could keep up, which was reassuring since I'm feeling very "fat" and out of shape. Ick!

Kathy, glad to hear you had good results with the July rotation. I'm either going to do that or Cathe's August rotation. I'll wait till it comes out to see.

Vilma, good to "see" you! You make me want to call my mom. I'm lucky that my parents only live two blocks away, but sometimes I take for granted how close they are and don't visit enough.

Chris, hope the boys silence was a good thing and not a bad thing and you were able to get your workout in! The petty arguing drives me absolutely insane. I'm not going to start Insanity till September. I may try out some of the workouts next month, though. I'm happy to test it out for you all!

Hottie, I am sure you look fine, too. Enjoy your time with your mom. Isn't it so stressful trying to get ready for company? Your house must look great, though. Yea, I got so sick of the CLX warmup. That's a great idea to do some cardio first. Too funny about teaching your dog to eat broccoli. At least he tried it!

Beth, the accent thing - Ian can imitate any accent. It drives DH crazy, but I think it's pretty funny. Good luck at the doctor. I've never had one of those exams, but probably should.

Caitlyn's fever finally broke. Thank god - I was getting pretty worried. She seems fine now. Now just crossing my fingers no one else gets it.

BBL...

Joanne

Holy Crap... Jillian actually made me want to cry uncle!!

Maybe it's the humidity and the fact that I'm dripping sweat everywhere, but she got my HR up there. I didn't expect it so much. And it was gradual with the circuits too. Kind of a cool workout...

Vilma!!!: I abhor internet problems. So irritating!!! Hope you stay on for a good stretch now.

Beth: Oh yeah, I knew you why you were going to SF, I don't know why I forgot. good job on Barre workout today!!!... Enjoy SF and lunch (not the derm so much). I'm with you Joanne, I haven't had one of those exams yet either, but always think about doing it.

Joanne: Good for YOU for jumping (literally!) right into Plyo Legs today!! I've been debating on doing that for my leg workout, but I'm afraid I won't be able to walk the next day. let me know how your legs feel tomorrow, k? ... I know I really need to bring the boys somewhere away from here to do something. But then I feel like I'm rewarding them for their crazy behavior. ugh. I do have to go to the grocery store, luckily they have a little "day care" there for them. (for ME!). .... So glad to hear Caitlyn's fever broke!! Hope she feels herself soon!!!

off to do the lunch thing....

 

[Boingo1]

Tough day here... The boys were in rare form, drove me bonkers, and it is sooo freakin humid here, i feel like crapola! Glad I got my workout done earlier!! We're supposed to have BIG thunderstorms rip through tonight. Which I'm not looking forward to, since we have our windows OPEN!

I'm too pooped to pop tonight for sure...

 

[bitmover]

Chris, maybe the thunderstorms will break up the weather and it won't be so humid anymore -- you can hope!!

Glad to hear Caitlyn's fever broke!!

You gals should have your skin checked -- if nothing else, have your regular dr. take a look -- that is how my melanoma was caught -- my regular gp looked me over. I can't remember if I told you this but it was actually another one she was concerned with, and it ended up being the second one the derm took off that was bad news. She took more off today -- I can't go there without leaving some skin behind. And, get this..... for the first time ever she talked to me about laser treatment for my age spots and botox for my wrinkles!!! I guess I am starting to look old.......

Then I had a great lunch with my friend at a place called Weird Fish -- had a fish taco and a "waco taco" that had sweet potato, avocado, and pepitas in it. Too much food! My friend said that when she has a crap day of eating she eats nothing but fruits and veggies the next day to get back on track. I may try that sometime. Oh, maybe a little plain yogurt for breakfast, but no other protein.

I loved being back in SF -- miss that place once I'm there. But, I'm pooped -- it was a lot of driving.
