Hey Girls!

So I'm starting this thread since it's midnight in Mexico and I'm still up (something that NEVER happens at home!). I just hope you find this thread when you wake up.

Missy - I hope Logan is feeling better. And CONGRATS on your treadmill. How fun!!!

Lori - your workouts are as crazy as ever! You're an animal!

Charlotte - I can't believe you're eating chocolate. Have you lost your mind??? I've been eating terribly while on vacation. :( I'm gonna have to be EXTRA good when I get home. Oh, and the homeless animals here break my heart Charlotte. When I get home I'm going to look for groups that help animals in Mexico and help them out. So sad. I just can't stand it.

Wendy - are you feeling better yet? You poor thing! I do hope you are better soon. It sucks to be sick.

If you girls feel like you're getting sick, take Airborne. I swear by the stuff. It's so great at fighting colds!

Tomorrow's our last day here and Wednesday we fly home. I'll try to post some pics when I return. I think I have about 15 mosquito bites. Sheeeesh! I don't know why they love me so much. I don't love them. Must be all the sugar I'm eating!!!

Be good!

Susan

Susan,

I have lost my mind a long time ago and guess I had a weak moment or two, but I am feeling back on track today. So you liking Mexico? I know about the homeless dogs too. I remember seeing alot of dogs roaming around without a owner. Sad. One was in the Tulum ruins that we seen. Very sad. Broke my heart. Don't go see Eight Below unless you want to cry for days then. LOL! Sounds like you are enjoying yourself with the food and such there. Now, you will have to jump back on the bandwagon when you get back home! We all have to keep it real, right???? Mosquito's? Where are you at in Mexico. We were near the water so no mosquito's to worry about there.

Well I am trying out this new BBM (Big Butt Management Workout). It looks like a DOMS party every friggin day on this workout! Bikini time is just around the corner and I haven't been working my darkside (backside) hard enough. Spending all my time on upperbody mostly so I got to do both just as hard. I want a REALLY tight looking BOD!!!! So I am doing that workout, 1000 crunches again, and tri's and bi's (freestyle only). Funny, when I printed out this workout of BBM, my son and hubby thought I had printed out some porno material with all the sexy butt pictures on there. LOL!

Enjoy yourself, Susan! Don't be sipping on Tequila or anything, o.k???

HEY TO EVERYONE ELSE>>>>>WAKE UP GIRLS!!!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Hola, Susan!!! Como esta, amiga bella? Que hace el tiempo? Los mosquitos te aman porque eres tanta dulce! :)

I am so happy that you are able to stay up late, eat crap and have a good time. I wish I was there with you! Well, in a way we all sorta are. We have all been eating like crap! ;) I know what you mean about the animals. I think that getting on board with an organization to help them out is awesome! :D You have such a kind heart. :)

Wendy, it is eight. Where are you!!! *taps foot impatiently and huffs* You said that you would be here. :p I hope that you feel better, hun. I feel so bad for you. Did Joey have it? I hope it passes him by. I second Susan's Airborn idea! Does DH bowl tonight? You know, I really have been itching to bowl! It must be over a year since the last time I went, and it is always so much fun! Even though I suck really badly. What is his average game? I go about 110ish. Really bad, huh?

Lori, where are you? You are two and a half hours ahead of us, so what is your excuse? ;) Did you get that special leg workout you were telling us about yesterday? Nevermind... I don't want to know! :+ ;) But I am sure that DH is smiling today, huh? :p We got a new mattress and, you can imagine some of the more suggestive comments I made to DH. Well, he said, "that sounds great, but I haven't played Halo in a while, and I want to see who is online if you don't mind." HUH?????? He was completely serious, too. We are completely the opposite of what a man and woman should feel about the "s" word. I feel so much for the H's that can't get any because their wives have a headache or just aren't in the mood. Unless... Charlotte, can I borrow a pair of your slut boots? :p

Charlotte, we aren't eating any crap today, right? I did so good yesterday!!! I have an opened box of Trefoils, and I didn't touch one!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOO! I am feeling so good!!! How are your "squat muscles" today? I hope that you are feeling better! But I love to feel sore, I do, I really really do! I don't know why. I must be a masochist. ;)

Have a great day, ladies, I will be back in to check with you all later! :)

Missy
 
Missy,

Guess we posted about the same time. Sure, you can borrow my slutt boots. I just keep them around for some role playing! LOL! Doubt it if I ever wear them out in public since I can't walk in them well. I am always in the mood to play, but I will let you borrow them if you want. Got big feet? Cuz I do! LOL!
Guess what I got yesterday? Hubby bought me some beautiful roses. They are light pink on the outside and darker inside. They are "cabbage" roses, I think. Because they are just the bigger roses. He got them "just because". That really perked me up! Made my day!!!! I love him so. That is the way he is. He is always thinking of me. If I feel sick, he comes home with food. He won't let me cook. I am just spoiled rotten here!!!!

Oh, I am not eating crap today. I was just being bad over the weekend. Don't worry, I am not going to let myself fall apart. I won't let it happen. I am going to stay in control. Not a good idea for me to play russian roulette with food. Don't think I should go there again.

Charlotte~~
 
Good morning.

Yes, sickie slept in today!:p

Sorry I didn't make it, Missy...can we reschedule? ;) Thankfully (knock on wood) Joey is fine. I am hoping that at this point it is too late for him to catch what I've got! He hasn't been sick YET! (knock on wood AGAIN!) One day he WILL get sick and this mom is gonna FREAK out cause it will be the first time!:-(

Susan, great to hear from you! Hope you are having a blast...I am sure that you are! Can't wait to hear about it and see pics!!!!

Well, I am trudging on with the January rotation today but I am shortening it since I am still under the weather...it calls for Cardio Kicks plus a 30 minute run (rebounder for moi.). I will do 30 mins of CK and then the 30 mins on the rebounder. If I try to do any more I KNOW I won't make it. In fact...the hour of cardio is sounding iffy right now!:eek:

I weighed in this morning and it appears as if (it COULD be a fluke, we'll see though!) I may have lost another pound!!! :+ That would put me one pound UNDER my pre-pregnancy weight and THAT is FABULOUS! HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE!!!!:7 :7 :7

Good morning Charlotte!!!

I wonder where Miss Lori is this morning???

TTYL~:+
 
Awwwww! He brought you home flowers! that is so sweet! DH doesn't let me cook when I am sick either. In fact, he makes me stay on the couch or in bed and takes care of the kids and the house all by himself. We are really lucky, aren't we? We go to a marriage group where we talk about our marriage, different topics concerning marriage. Last week's topic was about the "s" word in a woman's eyes, and honestly at first I didn't know what that could be since I am always in the mood. But then I realized something... DH puts my needs ahead of his and is so selfless and sensitive, he listens to me and shares his feelings, he comes home from work and asks me what he can do to help out even though he has been on his feet for ten hours slaving at work, not a day goes by that he doesn't say that he thinks that I am the most beautiful woman in the world and he appreciates so much what I do and what I have sacrificed to stay home with the kids... Oh, my heart is melting now! The ladies in the class all looked at their DHs and where telling them to write notes, it was so funny! We are lucky ladies indeed! :)

Logan is still asleep! I feel so bad for him! He is tossing and turning coughing. Poor thing. He is usually up by seven, and it is almost nine now. Poor thing!!! ;( I have some blueberry pancakes with ground flaxseed waiting for him. He actually likes the food that I eat... tofu, tempeh, sushi, spanikapita, everything. He is an eater!!!!

Oh, and Charlotte, you already have a body most teenagers would be envious of, so don't go there!!!! :p Can you share the BBM? I am totally interested in that since butt is my prob spot.

Missy
 
Wendy, another pound???? That is awesome!!! I am so happy for you, you must feel wonderful!!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 Yeah, Wendy!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Sure, we can reschedule! ;) We can actually run together, you rebound and I treadmill, sound good? :)

And you rest as much as you need to, we don't want you passing that cold onto us! ;) :p

Missy
 
Missy girl, you are sooo lucky! I am sooo jealous! My DH is willing to help out...only problem is, he doesn't know how to do things w/o being asked! Even before Joey was born and we were BOTH working and he was REQUIRED :)P) to do more around the house then he does now...MOST of it would not get done unless I said something! I swear he walks around the house with blinders on!!!!x( Once in a blue moon he surprises me...he must take the blinders off and see what needs to be cleaned, washed, etc and will just DO IT but 99% of the time I have to ask....
 
Good Morning, Wendy!!! My DH doesn't clean either, but would if I became ill for a long time or something. LOL! I told him not to let the house go if that should happen because I would just want to die if I had to look at cobwebs and clutter all day while bedridden. LOL!

Missy,

Here is the workout....
http://www.wendymccaffrey.com/BBM

I got it from the hardcore maniacs. I am checking in with them crazy women too. I think this workout is just what I need. I love a challenge and am bored with what I have been doing. I swear if I could ever squat passed what I am squatting with now, I may not be able to get into my jeans again. They are already becoming very tight around my thighs. Let me know what you think about the workout. So you teach the marriage group or something? One thing I want my hubby to do is workout his abs. He needs to do cardio too. I ask him over and over to workout with me, but I think secretly he is afraid of Core Max and such...just won't admit it. He loves to workout his upperbody as I do and I just shake my head when I see what he benches. Kills me! I cannot believe I am still stuck on 55 for benching and pushups are still just as hard no matter what!!!! I benched with 70# just once and the barbell almost fell back down on me. LOL! Can't have it all...always going to be a weak spot somewhere, right?

Charlotte~~
 
Wendy, my DH has had nine years of training. ;) :p

You know, in all seriousness, he was raised mostly by his mother because his Dad worked hours that never let them see each other much, and all of his older siblings are sisters so he has been trained his WHOLE life! I really owe them a ton of gratitude. His mother is a very affectionate and loving woman, and he learned his selflessness from her. And honestly, even his Dad worshipped his mother, so he had some influence from all fronts.

I am sure there are things that your hubby does that I would be jealous of. And I am positive that there are things that my DH does that would absolutely drive you nuts, believe me!!!

We are all lucky in some way, I think. But I am the luckiest, of course! ;)

Missy
 
LOL!!!!!!!! I CAN SEE WHY THEY THOUGHT IT WAS PORN!!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will read the article and write back. :)

Missy
 
Good Morning Girls, its closer to afternoon here now:)
Sorry to disappoint you but I had to go to work for a couple of hours so I took DD to school and I went my on my merry way:) I figured its just as well to get it over with, right?

Susan- Good to see you around! Im glad you are having a good time.Does anyone ever come back from vaca feeling like they have lost weight or done something right? For some reason ,we have the misconception that relaxing for to long is a bad idea. When we go to Cuba after day 3 I feel like a blob.Lying in the sun all day and drinking tends to make me feel that way:eek: But our bodies need the rest.How many weeks out of a year have we sat and did nothing? Not many.

Missy- No workout last night.My legs were straight out.:) Maybe to night though, Ill take a pic for you}( We need a new bed, its getting to squeeky! LOL

Charlotte- Working on the butt are you? What kind of workout is this? I may be intrigued!!!!

Wendy- Are you feeling any better? Another pound gone? Holy..when are you going to stop?:) One day we are the same weight...the next thing I know you are zooming on by.Stop! Let me catch up!!!!!

DD should soon be home so I will be getting lunch soon and I am hungry as well.Todays eating as been good so far, but I through out everything that was making me bad yesterday! Mission accomplished.Now, I still go to the cupboards looking for something, but there is nothing there!:) I will get my workout in after she goes back to school, legs are cardio.May be legs and LM, we will see. Oh and I have DOMS from yesterday.
Lori:)
 
Lori,

Can't find any food in your cupboards? My cupboards getting close to that point. Time to shop again!!!! Good eats for me too. This is what I had so far....

Oatmeal...plain and yummy (1/2 c)

Yogurt mixed with almonds

Protein shake (just worked out my bi's and tri's)

About 8 BAKED!!!!! Dorito chips..thank you, very much!!!!

Got to work legs now. I'm scared...just kidding!!

Charlotte~~
 
Breathing heavy and hard here. No hubby is not around, just in case your wondering. :p Just finished up the leg work from the BBM. OH MY GOSH! And I just did 1 set. I can' wait to do 3 now!!!!! I went outside and did the 40 walking lunges with 20# db's and let me tell you my heart rate was up up up! I usually do walking lunges with 15# db's, but this is the bomb, ladies!!!! I did the deadlifts with 65# instead of 70# cuz I worked bi's too and forearms are already sore. I want to run tomorrow, but I dunno if my legs will want to move. I will have to give them a good stretch. Maybe I will do stretch max before I run? I still have 1000 crunches to do next.
Cheers~

Charlotte
 
You crazy gal, you! Is your bum lifting yet?:) I have looked at my 20 lbs before but thought...nah! Maybe I should try, I think I would be huffing and puffing after 50 walking lunges.
There are things to eat in my cupboard but I threw out all off the bad stuff that I was picking at yesterday.I threw out two lots of cookies that I was constintly going back to pick at.And remember yesterday I said I never eat a full cookie? Well, there was cookies in my container, broke into a million pieces b/c I was just getting to the caramel parts yesterday:eek: :) Thats the kind of weird stuff I do! Strange hey?

I just woke up from my nap:) I napped for an hour and now I feel a bit stun! LOL. Your thinking "whats so different about that"!?:) So I decided to brew some coffee and I am going to workout soon.DD had to stay behind in school b/c she missed a couple of days last week so her teacher wants her to stay behind so she can go over somethings with her.A few other girls are staying back to.So I have to pick her up at 4:30 which only gives me 2 hours to get my workout and shower in.Prehaps I will pick her up sweaty.
And if DH goes to hockey tonight, I may get a run in.We will see.HEY...I listened to the Doc for one day!!!!
Lori:)
 
Lori,

I pick at my cookies that way too! I pick out the chocolate chips and don't eat the dough part as if I am sparing myself from sugar or something???? It is all the same, ya know?
Naps are good to have. I could have used one yesterday, but never napped. I feel wide awake right now.
Two hours left for workouts...better get going. I tend to be out in public all sweaty and no make up often. If I wasn't then I would never get in my workouts on somedays. I don't care what people think. They just don't realize that I am sculpting my body into some marvelous masterpiece. Rather spend time working out then putting on makeup and showering all the day. I am preaching to myself, not you. I really don't like to go out a mess, but I will cuz workouts are more important!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
I don't mind going out to pick DD up all sweaty...when its summer out! But I can't go outside in the cold with wet clothes on, I will freeze to death.Is that what you want for me, charlotte???? Are you trying to get rid of me, cause it feels like you are coaxing me on!?:7 :7 :7 :7 Ugh...some friend you turned out to be!:)

I do the same with the cookies and DH thinks I am a freak.And if he is eating a bag of chips, I will look for the wish chips...he also thinks this is weird to.I tell him other people are like it but he doesn't beleive me.One of my friends come over one time and she was looking through a bag of chips and I asked her what she was looking for and she said "the wish chips" hahahaha
Lori:)
 
Lori,

How gross...frozen sweat! EW! Now, don't want that for you. What and the heck is a "wish" chip? I look for the doritos that look the orangiest. If it is not the orangiest, then I give it to the dogs. LOL! What is up with EGGS today? Have you read ALL the post? What will offend...eggs? Tomorrow, pickles or something???? LOL! She thinks this is all ridiculickculous!!
BYE!
