Hi Wonder women!:)

Would you beleive I slept in today? Tut...tut!}( I knew that was going to happen b/c I was super tired while watching Desperate housewives last night and I should have just recorded it and went to bed...but I didn't. Then when DH came home, I came back to life.So it was 1:30 or so before I went to bed.I was up by 8:15 but DD needs to be in school by 8:30, thank God we live in a small town!

Im not sure what workout I am doing today, but its gonna be a hard o ne!}( I need to do weights! I am thinking of comming up with something that resembles the TTR.I liked that rotation and it gave my arms great definition.I am standing for a wedding in June so I should get buff before then right?

Wendy- I read your post from last night.3 hour nap!!! Sometimes it can do us more harm then good.I bet you feel better today though.My troat is a little worse today but not to bad...I know, I know...its comming!!:-(

One of my friends is stopping over around 10:30 and I got a feeling that another one will be stopping in with her coffee shortly.I sort of hope she doesn't b/c I want to start my house work and not sit and chat.Why don't people stop by in the afternoon? I have loads of time to chat then! Anyway...I will not be working out until this afternoon.

Good Morning Girls!

Lori,

I am going to do BootCamp today. I need to start improving my endurance. I did KPC yesterday, pullups and squats so my legs are feeling it today.

Sorry to hear you might be getting sick. Take some garlic pills too. That always seems to help too.

Went to see two movies this weekend....Big Momma's House 2 and 8 Below. I got to tell you that 8 Below was such a great movie. It will make you cry! I have a soft spot when it comes to animals and I can't stand to see any suffering. Around here, alot of people like to hunt and I don't like to hear about anyone shooting anything...not even a squirrel. Just bothers me, but I am not against it if you are going to eat it. I just don't want to hear about it.

Anyhow, I got to get some laundry going and such. Talk to ya later.

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte, I don't think I would like that movie very much. Anything with kids and animals, I can't watch.I try to tell myself that it is "just a movie" but it doesn't work! LOL

I am done 1/2 of my house work and while nethier one of my friends came over ( I forgot one was working) the other one called and I just got off of the phone.90 min conversation! Crazy! She was asking about running and she wants to start. And while she is a small girl with a beautiful figure, of course she claims to have problems in the thigh and bum area.Don't we all?;(

SO, I am going to get DD's lunch now and after I take her back to school, I am going to get my workout done.Still not sure what I am doing.I am not really in the mood to run.Its a sunny day outside and there isn't much snow on the sides of the road but it is to cold to run outside.Im gonna do weights first though.That way I have it done!
Lori:)
 
Well then you might not want to watch, Lori. The movie is based on a true story so you might be crying foreva! LOL! I am doing my housecleaning on Weds as usual. I think just about every girl I know has problems with thighs and butt. I don't mind though if my thighs get bigger as long as my butt seems to look smaller in the process. ;-) Oh, just do BC with me, will ya? I am going to start here soon. I am not doing it twice though. LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
O.k..I will do it with you but I am doing CTX UB workout first and I will be adding runs into BC.
Now...who is getting the better workout???}( }( }( }(
Lori:)
 
I think just about
>every girl I know has problems with thighs and butt.

Then I say there is NO problem! ;)

Hello, ladies! I am taking a rest day today. I am now officially starting the mini training! It calls for rest days on Friday and Monday. I had a reallybusy weekend anyways, so I am going to relax and read while the kids play in their rooms and read their own books (they don't have any school today since it is president's day). I ran outside this weekend on the warmer day and it was 13 degrees. I had all the right running gear, but I don't have anything to cover my face. I cut the run short to only 3 1/2 miles because my face felt... actually I couldn't feel my face. And I couldn't move it! I didn't think that was a very good thing, so I cut it short. ;( But now I don't have to worry about it any more because

I HAVE A TREADMILL! We just assembled it last night, I am so excited! http://dsp.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p2141840dt.jpg There it is! I let the kids walk on it this morning, I think they are just as excited as I am! I made them do hills and stuff and they were laughing and cracking up, so cute! I am doing the happy dance! happy, happy, joy, joy!
 
Missy,

Oh, you are so lucky!!! What kind of fancy gadgets are on that thing? Does it tell you how many cals you are burning, etc.? Can you fold it to put it away?

Charlotte~~
 
I didn't mean to post that already! Oops, but I do kinda have to go. Logan is sick today, he has a high fever and he really wants to cuddle with me, and I love to holding my babies so I am giong to scoot. Have fun doing boot camp, you guys! I will be back on the first chance I get to see what you guys are saying about me. :p Oh, and ask me how I am doing about eating cookies and stuff. I am really struggling with that right now (I NEVER should have had the first bite, it is so addicting!) and I need you guys to help me out because DH doesn't care, well, he cares, but he is no help because he eats junk all the time and has no desire to quit. But speaking of DH and before I leave, he is awesome! I have been wanting a TM for such a long time, and we were talking about getting one with our tax return, but when we were out looking for mattresses, we saw this bedroom suit that he absolutely fell in love with. I told him that I felt guilty because we are getting a TM when he wants this suit so badly, so he went out with DD, got this TM and then told me that we can get a new bedroom set another time and not to worry about it! He put it together right away and was acting very happy to be doing this for me. I LOVE HIM!!! Isn't that so selfless? He is such a great man. What a great man!!!!!!!!!! :7

:* toodles!

Missy
 
Charlotte, the only thing that I cared about was that it keeps track of time and distance and that it had a good warrantee (12 years) because I am planning on using it a lot, so I have no idea if it keeps calories, but it goes up to 10 mph and 10% incline, it does fold up but we keep it out because our room is so big and it has a rubber padding underneath it to protect our carpet, it is really impossible to move it with the padding underneath. It has the following settings: hill, interval, manual, race, golf course (huh????), and you can customize it and create settings for so you can do whatever you want. IT IS AWESOME!!!! What else does it do....... hmmmmmmm.......... I am sure there is lots more, but I haven't read the manual yet. I CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT!!!!!!!!!!! I will let you know as I find out. And it does have a safety plug, you clip a string onto your shirt or shorts so that if you get too far back it pulled a chip out of the maching and it turns off automatically so that you don't get hurt or fly off the back of the treadmill. I really like this thing! :) :) :) :) :)
 
Missy,

I was bad at the movies this weekend and had a M&M's and a chocolate candy bar the next day as well. GOSH, I am really losing it..what is wrong with me????!!!! I wasn't thinking about fat butts either when stuffing my mouth with sludge. I was thinking, "Damn, I have been missing out"! NOT GOOD!!!!! NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!! Paybacks are a b#tch when you look in the mirror though so I ought not to do that again! Besides, I don't want to embarrass myself in a bikini this summer. So you grabbing cookies to? I told DH last night that I can't just say it is o.k. for a cheat day because I will continue to keep cheating. Just doesn't work for me so either I eat the damn crap everyday or I don't ever touch it at all..EVER! I swear I wish I could just treat myself once, but see what happens????? Best I don't ever know what I am missing. My DH had a big bucket of popcorn each time we went and then felt sick Sunday night. Hmmmmm, wonder why????? He will watch what he eats at times, but yo yo's and now I went yo yoing with him this weekend. That cannot happen again!!!!!!! You are not selfish either...just greedy!!!!! LOL! You got yourself a good man there. I do too. He is going to that concert with me the end of the month...just for me. I am sure he will like it too. O.k., I need to put my head under the sink and dowse myself with cold water. I am not going to have a "woe is me" kind of a day. So let me pick my legs up and get going.

Charlotte~~
 
I'm done!!! I will admit that I only did 6 cycles and a 5 min run after each one.Which took me an hour and I did CTX bic,tri and shoul.I need to go back in and do abs.I really enjoy BC, actually, I enjoy doing any kind of circuit workout.
I am so tempted to get back on my treadmill but I THINK,I am ovulating so I figue it would be wise to listen to the Dr. over the next couple of days and take it easy. DH was here when I was getting ready to workout and he said "why don't you NOT workout today b/c thats alot of jumping around" hahaha I guess I am going to be spending some time with my legs over my head}( :+ :+ :+

I thnk we are all going through the same thing! I have been o.k but at work there is lots of ice cream and toppings.So I am in charge of supplies so I went downtown and picked up some stuff.Every time I go I pick up something different, like mint choco chips,or white choco chips but Sat I decided to pick up little caramels and they are soooooooooooooooo good!I only bought 3 bags though and filled the container up, chances are when I go back to work on Wed night, they will be all gone.
So,Im with you gals.My eating is a little off and its a sweet related.I am drinking a protein shake now and hoping this will tie me over until dinner time, which is 2.5 hours away.

Missy- LOVE the treadmill.They say the more gadgets a treadmill is the more problems you may have with it.I guess b/c its all computer related.Im the same as you, as long as I have time and dictance..Im o.k.Let us know how it goes and I hope your baby is better soon.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!! TMI!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!! http://www.smileys.ws/smls/bank/00000004.gif Here, I will get the cigars out early! :p

Okay, so we need to kick each other in the butt every day then and encourage each other since we all seem to be going through the same thing. I am the same as you, Charlotte. It would be fine if I could just stop at two cookies, but I can't. I have to have the whole box! It is really hard because now is Girl Scout cookie time, and we have 80 boxes in our kitchen!!!!!!!!! I almost openend one today, but I restrained myself, wahoooo! I know that after a week, I will be fine and will have to desire to even try anything that is made of sugar, but it is the first few days that suck. Did you know that heroin has the same effect on your brain as sugar as far as being addictive??? Scary, huh.

Tonight for dinner, I am making fish with homemade scalloped potatoes and some steamed veggies. :9 I am going to have to find a recipe for scalloped potatoes, I have never made them before, do you guys have any recipes that you would like to share?

Lori, sounds like you had a killer workout! You are a freaking machine!!! Does your treadmill fold up or do you keep it down?

See ya soon!!!! :)

Missy
 
Missy,

First of all, I hope your little Logan gets better. I was ranting on so much that I got too caught up in my rants. LOL! I ordered Girl Scout cookies too...oh, brother. I will hand the boxes over to son and daughter and say, "now go hide them...NOW"!!!! I don't want to know where they are. Once DD hid her sandwich I made her in her toy box. I found it a year later. It was all green and watery. I could not believe she did this. I think she was 12 when she did this so she should have known better. Anyhoo, I believe sugar has that potential to be as addicting as heroin. Although I never tried heroin:p , but from what I heard it is some addicting stuff.

Tonight for dinner, I am making upside down southern chicken. I won't be eating any of it. I will just cook up some plain chicken and eat it cuz upside downey is made with heavy whipping cream and I don't need to eat anything with that in it. OMGosh! My children and hubby love it and have been complaining of plain meals that I make so I will make it for them. Typical green beans to go with it as we just about have every single night. I will finish off the brown rice from last night and everyone else can eat another veggie. No one likes sweet potatoes here, but me so I will fish out the boxed mashed potatoes, I guess.

Lori,

Why must you always cause me to get a sick mental picture in my head? Why did you have to go there? LOL! }( :p Well I do it to you too so I guess it is your turn. How graphic though. :p }(

Charlotte~~
 
Thats what I am here for!:) I could get even more graphic and tell you about what happened before I put my legs over my head...but I won't go there:7 :7 :7 LOL!!!!

I have chicken breast taken out for dinner and they are in a roaster with onion soup mix and water.Gives them a good taste.I am not sure what I will have with it.DH is pretty fussy.Probably some kind of potatoe.I have some frozen veggies in the freezer so we will be eating those soon.I also have a extra breast taken out for DH.It is breaded and stuffed with cheese and ham.He loves though...but like Charlotte, I will stick to the healthier stuff.

Missy, my treadmill folds up! Thank Goodness.Although its not totally in the way, it would make step workouts a little more difficult.

I am not a lover of Girl guide cookies but I do buy them.I use to like the mint choco ones but I think there is still a box in the cupboard from last year:eek: They could be green to:+
I don't have a habit of eating more then one cookie.I just pick at the cookies off and on all day.So I never ate a FULL cookie...I just ate 1/2 of 10 cookies:eek: I think if I ate a full cookie I would be content and move on.

Anyway..must go dry my hair and do something.I don't know what though.
Lori:)
 
Oh my, Lori! Lets not go there again, must we? LOL! Well not you all got me hungry and thinking about dinner, NOT SEX (LOL) so I guess I should start preparing the meal. You know, it takes alot of preparation for something as fancy as Southern Upside Down Chicken. First I have to boil the chicken and then cut it up, blah, blah, blah, blah. I could do it the easy way and buy the already cooked processed chicken crap, but no, I like to do it right and plus it has to be authentic! Oh, I am feeling so lazy today. I did the BC, but I had forgotten how many squat moves were in that one so I didn't really get in a good workout today, but I am still tired from yesterday and my legs won't squat well today....too sore. I guess I could use the rest. Oh, well...on my way to kitchen. Ta ta~~~~

Charlotte~~
 
My, I could sense a little bit of whining in there.:eek: Please, tell me I am mistaken:7
Just the name of that chicken makes me think that there is work to it.I bet it taste good though even though its unhealthy.I should get dinner prepared to.DH should be home in an hour and I better have his dinner ready or I could be in trouble! hahahahaha:) :) :) :) Like that day will ever happen!
Lori:)
 
Hey there girlies!:)

It's the sickie here..yes, the one with the cold...AAAAHHHH-CHOOOO!:p

I struggled to do the Body Max step segment this morning on 6" with the upper body and abs. I skipped the leg circuits....Tmrw is Cardio Kicks plus a 30 min run. I will be using the rebounder in place of the run and depending on how I feel I may not do all of Cardio Kicks. I just can't put the Jan rotation off any longer or I'll NEVER finish it so I'm just gonna do what I can. I have a week and a half of it left.

Congrats on the treadmill Missy! You are sooo lucky! I want one but have no place to put it so it's just out of the question at this point!:-(

Okay, well I gotta run...gotta figure out dinner.

TTYS!:+
 
Wendy, I am so sorry that you are not feeling well! Poor thing!

You know, if you want to you can come over here tomorrow and you can run and help me break in my treadmill! :D I am not selfish, I will even let you go first! :7 I know there is that distance thing... I am just wishful thinking here. I wish that my friends here loved to workout as much as I do and I feel so grateful for you. Y'all are awesome!!! :7

I hope you feel better, Wendy. If you need help, just read Lori and Charlotte's posts again, they always put a smile on may face, especially today!!!! :+

Missy
 
Thanks Missy!:)

I would LOVE to come over help ya break in that treadmill! I'll see ya in the morning...8am sharp!;)
