Good morning fitness buddies...

I am up early this morning. DH had to have the clock set for 3:45 to get up, he had to be out of the door at 4 this morning. I am wide awake. I got into bed about 9:30 last night so I still got a fair amount of sleep. I didn't get in from my run until 8:20 and thought I'd have trouble sleeping after that but didn't.

Today is KPC and it will be the first time I've done the whole thing. I've done the cardio premix off of it. I love KickMax so much, I'm sure I'll love this one too.

Kali - did you have fun last night? Getting together with friends is always a treat. I have to admit though most of my girl time is spent with DD. We are mother/daughter but best friends at the same time.

Wendy - sounds like you've wrapped up the Chrisentening shopping. You really got on the ball this week and got it done didn't you? How's Joey after his shots yesterday? I know that always made mine so cranky. I hope he's feeling better.

Terri/Kim - so you guys are having a p.m. core fiesta huh? I'll have to try CMx3 one of these days. I believe I've done two before but not three.

Becky/Terri - it is comical, DHs and their irritating ways. But on the flip side, I'm sure he finds things I do just as irritating. DH is not dumb by any stretch of the imagination, this is a habit for him. He will talk when the, say, the news is on and when there is a particularly interesting story breaking and the reporter gives you that first line that draws your attention... he'll start asking, "now why.. now what.." etc. and I miss the part that tells you what's going on. I'll just say, I don't know, somebody was talking and I didn't hear it. :+ I was feeling a little like Charlotte said she was yesterday... and what usually doesn't bother me in the least, starts to grate as I get nearer to PMS time.

Good morning Shannon, Jessica, Lori, Nancy. I haven't seen Shannon or Jessica on in a couple of days. Where are you guys? Nancy was working late I believe.

Lori - did you get your run in yesterday?

I hope I didn't forget anybody.

I've blabbed enough already this morning. TTYL.:)
 
Good Morning Jane, and all who follow!

I am up early too. In fact, I was up INSANELY early. Couldn't sleep and got up at 2 and here I've pretty much sat since! :-(

Jane, are your legs sore? Mine were so sore when I was laying in bed trying to sleep last night that I was considering taking a rest day today, or working upper body instead! Being up and moving around, they are better, but WOW, this has been quite a week for me. I prefer to work upper body , and this week has made me very aware that I was favoring UB and neglecting LB !!!

I'm still going to attempt to do what I'd planned for my workout this morning . Then I may have to crash for the rest of the afternoon, but I'm just glad I CAN if I need to!
How many of your are SAHM's?

Jane, like you, my kids are older. My 3 are 22,daughter is turning 20 this month, and my youngest is still at home, a freshman in high school and 14 yrs old. Sometimes at that age I think they need us at home more than when they were little, so I'm glad I can be here!

I guess I am just rambling now.

I need to shake the cobwebs out of my head and get the day started, I guess.
I'll be checking back in later!
 
Good morning Becky... I am not as sore as I was yesterday morning after doing Legs&Glutes Tuesday. I was so sore I could barely get up from a seated position. I felt sure I wouldn't be able to walk today after that almost 4 mile run and 200 walking lunges, but my DOMS is almost gone... go figure?

My kids are 25 and soon-to-be 23 in December. Both are living on their own. The oldest, my son, is married and my daughter just graduated college in May and is teaching high school about 45 minutes from here so she moved into her own apartment in August. I was "sort of" a SAHM when mine were in high school. I work out of my home as a medical transcriptionist and have worked at home since 1997 so I was here when they left and got home from school which was nice. Yes, high school age is definitely a time when your presence needs to be felt by them!!

Go ahead with your w/o Becky. I didn't think I could do those walking lunges yesterday or that run but I think it really stretched out my muscles.

Well gotta get started. Just took this time to pay some bills and run up the checkbooks.

TTYL
 
Hey ladies,

Yesterday I did some abs and some leg work. Just made up some exercise while watching tv. didn't have the heart to tell dh to get off the tv. So I did crunches until I couldn't do anymore and did leg lifts but slack on them!:-( Just was not in it! Today I am do the coremax entirety and I must be in sane since I did it last week! I think I need a brain transplant!:p

Jane- You are up early girl! I woke up at 6:05 and that is early for me. Went to bed at 11:30 and that makes it hard to wake up!x( You will love all of kpc!:) Hope you enjoy it!:7

Becky- I do believe you will need a nap this afternoon!;-) I wish I could take one, but I probably will be at work or PT.Yuck to either one!x( I have 2 14year olds and they are a trip! The teenage life is an experience huh?:p My kids have been good kids so far!:+



Kali- Hope you had a good time last night out with the girls!



Hello-lori,wendy,charlotte,I hope I didn't forget anyone.

Good Morning Ladies.:)

Kim/Terri~~~MIS twice!? WOW! I don't have this one but it's reputation preceeds it and when I DO eventually get it I will be afraid to do it ONCE let alone TWICE! You gals are brave souls! Hope you both survive it! }( :p ;)

Becky~~~I'm a new SAHM. My boy is 4 months old as of yesterday! :+ In many many ways I LOVE it but it took a while to get used to and sometimes I feel like I have no life b/c I am home all day when everyone else I know is at work. lol It's also giving me ulcers trying to adjust to living on one salary...I pay the bills and I get very nervous really quick about that stuff! I have to get over that or I'll make myself sick. Hope you get your w/o completed before you crash today!:)

Kali~~~How was your night out? Hope you had fun! :7

Jane~~~I read how you and your DD are best friends and it touched me. I am best friends with my mom too...have been for many many years. I think that is AWESOME! :+
I also read that your DD is already living on her own. That's great. I wanted to move out when I was about 26 but when I ran the #s I would have been working to pay for the basics like rent, food, etc and would have next to no money beyond that. It just wasn't worth it for me so I ended up staying with my mom for another 5 years (LOL) until I got married and bought a house. In fact, DH lived with us for a couple of years too before we got married and found the house. I don't know how kids do it these days...I know I sure couldn't and I don't think I was making such a bad salary at the time.
Joey was quite cranky yesterday on and off after his shots. I felt so bad for the little guy.:( When he was getting his shots-4 at one time!!!!-he got progressively more upset as each one was given. The first one he just frowned, the second one he made a noise, on the third one I saw tears and he started all out screaming by the fourth one. Those nurses are sooo mean! ;( lol

Hello to Charlotte, Lori, Nancy, Cleo???, Jess, and whoever else I missed b/c I know I probably missed someone! LOL :p

Okay, I'll stop babbling on now!:)

Today is circuit, cardio, and ABS!!!!! I should do coremax in full 3x over for all of the ab work I miss!!! lol

TTYL!
 
Hey Fitness Maniacs!!!!


Jane,

I read your post from last night about DH and the mail. My DH is the same way. He is always asking me where something is, as if I should know where he puts his stuff. I cannot workout when he is home because he will ask me a dozen times...where is this...come here...I need you, etc., etc. Lots of questions and I love him! He is actually away for business this week and I miss him so.

Kim,

Did you say you want a challenge??? I'll pm you in a minute here.

Well today is my rest day and let me tell you that I need it. I cannot bend down very well. The DOMS is really kicking in. I don't know what I am going to do today, but I won't be eating bons bons and watching As the World Turns. LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Good Morning Ladies,

Jane-Yep,got my run in.I did what GS B,B&S,Kari Andersons abs and a 6 mile run.Then I went to a friends house for a visit and went to be STARVING! BUt when I got up today the scale was the same as it was last week which makes me VERY happy b/c I had a really bad day this week and I thought it was gonna show.

Wendy-A friend of mine is heading back to work soon.She is also torn.Her kids are 3 and 18 m so they are demanding alot of her time.But yet she wants to get out in public and have a sensible conversation.I think she is also irritated by the fact that her DH wants her to stay home.That way he gets to do what he wants b/c she as no schedule.Anyway she is going back to work and I think the only one who is going to have a real hard time with this is her hubby.

Charlotte-My DH is the same way.He actually blames me for moving things."But the last time I saw it, it was right there" I don't even know what he is talking about 1/2 of the time.

Anyway-Today I am helping DH with the door knockers again, which probably means 3 hrs of walking before lunch.After that I would like to do GS C&T and another run.
I will check back later....Hi to everyone else!
Lori:)
 
Hey charlotte, I am leaving in 5 mins. for work so if you PM me I will see it this afternoon. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for me!:p



kim
 
Lori,

Your friend definately needs to go to work now just to spite her DH! }( He's not being fair and I am glad he doesn't seem to be changing her mind on the issue.
 
Charlotte.. I know what you mean, I love mine too. He is so easy going, he doesn't really get too upset when I am cranky from PMSing. I think he considers this his "cross to bear":+ We match pretty well, I guess that is why we've made it 26 years. I wouldn't take anything for him.
 
Wendy - I hope Joey's day go better today!

It is nice to have DD as a best friend. We are actually going to the Rascal Flatts concert tomorrow night together and the Apple Festival. The Apple Festival is a tradition we have.
 
Jane,

Hubby and I will be married 18 years this month, next week as a matter of fact. My hubby usually doesn't get too upset with me either, but lately he has been accusing me of not listening. Can't help it if I have a zillion things running thru my brain and I can't always focus. Might have ADD or something. Dunno. LOL!


Charlotte~~
 
Hi Again Everybody!!

I did CTX kickbox and added on 20 minutes of hills on my exercise bike because I was dying to see the end of The Biggest Loser ! (I watched most of it during my treadmill run yesterday) Also did the Biceps and Abs from CTX K/B, so I had a good, thorough workout!:p

Wendy, I hope Joey is feeling better today. Four shots at once is a LOT!!!

Did you tell us about your night out with the girls last night Kali? If you did, I missed it. I hope you had a good time!!

Now I guess I get an extended workout, because I need to mow the grass before it starts raining. They said maybe heavy rain by afternoon and we need it !!

Oh, one thing I've learned here, is I will NEVER tell Charlotte I need a challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not with the workouts I see her assigning people!!!:eek: :p I'm too chicken!!! :eek:

Have a great morning everyone!
 
Becky,

Hmmmmm!}( }( }( Are you trying to say you need a challenge? Let me tell you, I have challenged myself with my own toasty rotation. I am not walking too well this morning. If you all could see me now, you would be laughing. Looks like I have been riding a horse for days and just got off. LOL!

Well if you want to be challenged, let me know.

Charlotte~~
 
Well, I did coremax # 1 and then I got Joey's bottle and cereal ready, ran upstairs and OMG he is still SLEEPING!!!! I turned on his mobile to see if it will wake him gently...must go back up now to check! Can't let him sleep too late....I'll be back! :)
 
Charlotte,

NO, NO , NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Please don't confuse my comment for a hint! Because it definitely WAS NOT intended as one!

When I see you say to someone "if you need a challenge I'll PM you" my knees start to shake!!!!!!!!! The workout is so awful you don't even post it publicly?!!?!?! ACKKKKKK Bootcamp x 2, Coremax x2 or 3? MIC twice???????? I can get through them all ONCE, but can't imagine trying them back to back!! :p

I do like to know you might be human after all though,....if you are having doms today!;-) I got a laugh from the image of walking like you'd ridden a horse. I pretty much have felt like that all week!

Okay, now it's nice to chat with you, but when it comes time to hand out personal workout challenges, PLEASE forget you've heard my name!!!! ;-) :eek: :p
 
Becky,

LOL! LOL! LOL!:7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Well now I am off to go put a few more items up on ebay before I go outside to mow. At least I will be sitting on the tractor for alittle while until I have to push mow.

Charlotte~~
 
Great smoothie idea... my MIL cans fresh pumpkin and I took one cup of the pumpkin puree and froze it last night. Put that together with one cup of skim milk and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and some cinnamon. It is like pumpkin pie ice cream it is so thick!

Thought I'd share
 
Jane,

Oh my gosh, that is such a great idea!!!! I will have to try that for myself. Ya know, pumpkin has alot of good vitamins in it too. Sounds so yummy. My pumpkins in my garden didn't turn out this year. I planted the seeds in mid july which was too late and then the weeds took over the plants. Next year, I will not plant broccoli and plant the pumpkins instead, and earlier.

Thanks for the recipe!!!!! YUMMY!

Charlotte~~
 
You're welcome Charlotte... I also have an idea for baked apple smoothie but haven't tried it yet. I'll just bake my apples with splenda and cinnamon as usual, dice, and freeze in one cup amounts. Mix the apples with the van pp and 1 c sk milk. I'll let you know how it is. I went to the orchard last weekend and I am overflowing with apples.

Where Kali??? Did she have too much fun last night? :+ Where are your girl?
