HI Girls:)

Now...am I the only one who is around yet???:) Im just sitting here and sipping my coffee...waiting for someone to come along and play with me!:)
In case you didn't read my post last night, I did a 4 mile run and the rest of GS legs.What is up with the band and the ball!? OUCH!:eek: It hurt! I bought the latest series when it first came out so I have had these workouts for a while but I don't ever remember doing all that floor work before.I must have stopped the workout before I got to that point or something.I bet you would see great results in the hip and thigh area if you did that workout 2 x a week.I think I will give it a try:)
So today I am going to do all of the GS UB workouts and KM.I am then going to take a nap in the afternoon b/c I have to work tonight.I always say I am taking a nap on the days I work but I never do...and then I always nap on the days when I am not working.How weird am I?
Whats everyone elses plans?
Oh and I had a small chocolate chip pancake for breakfast.Im sure it wasn't that high in cals (maybe 300) but I know it wasn't the best choice but I bet my sweet tooth won't be bothering me that much all day.
Lori:)
 
Good Morning Girls!!

Now Lori, you could of had a protein pancake with real chocolate chips. Want the recipe? Well it is snowing here and school is delayed by 2 hours. Talk about throwing a rod into my day. I was suppose to be cleaning today. Don't think I will get much done with it. Oh, and I am a personal trainer now to DD and her friend. My son started working out again yesterday too and he doesn't want me telling him what to do! LOL! Like his dad. So I had DD and her friend do the BBM workout that I did. They whined some, but not much. Did good. I gave them db's for lunges. They are young so they can do it with weights too. DD took the 8# db's and her friend the 10#'s for walking lunges. They just did one set of the BBM workout. Today I will have them working upperbody and doing coremax. They still need to run or ride a bike, but we have too much snow on the ground for that now and not enough time anyways as they have to go back to school. I will workout upperbody with them and do KPC later in the day. My house is so gross. I can't stand it. I got to go get the dogs now and start cleaning. Have a great day!

Hey Ladies....do you mind if I join you??? I have been mostly a lurker around here, but I really enjoy this thread. You all a such an inspiration to me.

Here is a little info on me: I am 26(27 in April). I have 3 children ages 5, 3 (4 in June), and a 14 month old (my only girl). I am a SAHM from southern Indiana. I take a few classes here and there trying to get a degree in elementary/special education. I am taking my time...I don't want to graduate until my kids are all in school. Right now, they are all at home. My oldest starts school this year, which I am very nervous about. I have sooooo many issues with schools and their policies.

I am still trying to lose a little bit of weight from my last pregnancy. I gained 50 pounds (whoa) with each pregnancy. I managed to lose with the other 2, but am struggling a bit with about 15 pounds. I am working on it, but did not have the motivation to workout this morning. I wanted to sleep in...plus, as soon as breakfast is over in my house, it is constant run, run, run!!!

Talk to you all later! (Although I don't get a lot of time on the computer with my children around!!)

Hi Ladies,

Charlotte, I would love the recipe! I didn't have many choc chips in it though and I had E.D Smith syrup which is only 30 cals per 3 tbsp and I only had one tbsp.I made pancakes for DD and there was a little bit of batter left over.Pancakes is something that always jump out at me...like they are super yummy:9 But after I start eating them ,I don't feel that way anymore, wonder why?
Thats awesome that you have DD working out with you.Should be fun! I had a friend call the other day and when the snow starts to melt she wants me to help her run.That should be interesting! HAHAHA Makes you feel special when someone wants your help..and it makes us look like we know what we are doing! LOL

Sara- The more the merrier.We have a lot of fun around here and don't take offense to any sarcastic remarks we make to each other.I think we started this thread about 6 monthes ago (or longer) and we know each other quit well and we all get along great.
Wendy will help steer you in the right direction with the baby weight.She just lost the last of her baby pounds!
And you are also another young one.Missy is in her early 20's and has 3 kids.And I am 27 and have just the one child but am trying for another.

Anyway..I should get this workout over with.I think the pancake I ate is disappearing cause Im gett'in hungry!!!
Lori:)
 
Thanks Lori,

I won't take offense to any comments :) Like I said, I have been lurking a little bit and I think you guys are fun! Oh, and I noticed you love coffee....I will fit in just fine!

Sara B
 
You will fit in! Wendy likes it even more then I do! How amazing its that?

I just finished GS Tri and Ches...ugh...Im shaking.I am always afraid my arms are going to give out and drop a dumbbell on my face b/c I push myself so hard on chest work.And chest work is always hard after those push ups.Off I go to do the rest of my workout
Lori:)
 
Sara, welcome!!! How are you? Glad to have you on board! You are 26, so am I. :) I also have three kids (almost 9, almost 7 and almost 2) and I also live in Indiana! :) Small world, huh? I live just north of Indy in a very small town. BUT, I don't drink coffee like some of the crazies on this check-in! :+ You are very into probiotics, healthy and natural approaches to things aren't you? I think I remember some of your past posts on immunizations and such... anyhoo, welcome! I look forward to getting to know you better! :) And you are right, I think that this is the funnest place to be on whole Cathe website, and I care so much about Lori, Charlotte, Susan and Wendy. ( I love you guys! :D ) and am feel very lucky to have their encouragement and share their laughs and sillies and accomplishments! Coming here makes my day better... usually! :p Okay, now I feel like a group hug!!!

Charlotte, I love it when the kids have a delay in the morning!! Then I get to take it easier and play with them a little bit, talk to them. I don't know why, most parents think it is crazy, but I like it. They aren't teenagers yet, either, so... }( }( }( I am sure that you will get your cleaning in, don't worry! :p I think that it is awesome that you and DD are working out together! DD and I do stuff together, too. Mostly yoga because she loves to call out the poses she wants to do. She is so cute! :D

Lori, I have a newfound love and respect for KM! I heard bad things about it, but I LOVE IT!!! I don't see why so many people complain about it. And speaking of evil pancakes, DD had a girlfriend stay the night last Friday and for breakfast I made Thin Mint pancakes! The kids LOVED them! They weren't really cookie-ish, but they were just right! ;)

I have already had four cookies this morning. I am stopping there and using self restraint so that I can say "yes. I can do things in moderation and I won't let that sugar control me." Think it will work? I had a great run yesterday that left me a little sore this morning (I think I ran a little too fast on hills that were too steep as I am used to running on flat ground). Today I am doing PH sans abs (did 'em yesterday) and 20 minutes cardio to burn just a little extra fat. :) And I get to clean the bathrooms on top of that. Oh, the joy!!!

Love you guys, see ya soon!

Missy
 
Hey there!

Welcome Sara!!!:+

Don't have time to chat right now...just wanted to pop in and say HI!

Be back later babes!:*
 
Missy,

Wow, it is a small world!! I live south of Paoli and west of Louisville. Oh, I remember the post of immunizations and probiotics! Wasn't one of those "fighting" type of posts? I usually try to stay away from those.....I was just reading about another type of fight on eggs....kind of silly, but something caught my attention. Somebody said that Lauramax quit posting. I am being very nosy, but what happened??? My computer has been getting repaired and I have not been online for awhile....

I think that this was the final straw. I don't think that is nosey, I mean this is an open forum and people know that when they post. It is there for anyone to read, so... }( }( }(

I don't like getting into the cotraversial threads, either, I don't like the catfighting. I know that I have done it before though. There are so many different personalities and polars on the forum it is impossible not to clash. I wish that there was a way to respect everyone's opinions and feelings so that we can just agree to disagree and move on. But, again, I know that I have been involved in stuff so I should just keep my mouth shut, right! :+ :p

Well, hiya Wendy! I hope that you are feeling better!!!! How was the rebounder workout yesterday?

Missy
 
Ouch!! I am so wiped!! Or Whiped...whatever you want to call it:) I did KM after all that UB work and it really toasted me.Its lunch time now so instead of having a shake I am going to have a chicken breast on a WW english muffin.
Lori:)
 
K..Im back.And I had a chance to read some of the post I missed.

Missy- Four cookies? Now is that anyway to scare away our new member? If we tell her about our poor eating habits, she may run the other way!!:+ :+ I have been o.k today but after I finished my lunch I went back to the cupboard in search of something and I ended up with 3 bite size oreo cookies,2 animal crackers,2 hersry kisses and the top of a cupcake.Just the icing and a little bit of cake:eek: There,I think I out did your 4 cookies;( :) Prehaps my body was craving something after that workout!
I owned KM for a long time before I did it.Only b/c I am not a lover of kickboxing.I hated it actually but I am comming around.The reason I like KM more then KPC is b/c she does the combos first and has them over with.Thats what I don't like about kickboxing, is the combos.
And why don't they make treadmills that go downhills? Makes perfet sense to me:7

Wendy, you never came back!!!

So, I found todays workout extremly challenging and I don't know why.Maybe b/c I only worked UB 2 days ago.But I want to work UB 3 x a week so the next time will be Sat and I will do GS legs again on friday.

Anyway..see, I should be taking a nap but Im not tired.Whats up with that??
Lori:)
 
Bad eating habits would not scare me away....I love "bad" food. I am trying not to eat any although girl scout cookies sound way too good. It is always something....valentines candy...now girl scout cookies. Next will be easter candy. My bday is on Easter this year so I know I will be eating something sweet!

Sara B
 
you're right, there is always an occasion to stuff our pieholes, isn't there? :+

Lori, after a workout is the best time to eat that sweet stuff because your body is burning off calories at an accelerated speed and is actually looking for glycogen (sugar/carbs) to replenish what you just worked off. So in some sort of twisted way you could say that cupcakes are good for you. :p Some sort of very twisted way. :+ And I agree about the combos, that is why I like to kickbox. ;) I am trying to talk Dan into letting me hang Mom's bag in our garage so I can beat it. You want awesome arms? Punch a bag. It will turn your shoulders and back into something fierce!

but speaking of girl scout cookies, here is what I had: one samoa MY FAVE, 1 trefoil and 2 all abouts. :9 I want to open a new box of samoas. But I know what will happen. http://www.smileys.ws/smls/angry/00000005.gif that's right. He will come and take me away.

On to other things now... I am almost done with the house. I just have to vacuum, and then I will workout and move onto laundry while I watch my recorded Letterman and watch American Idol again. I really miss Conan O'Brien. ;( He is so funny.

See you soon!
Missy
 
Hey girls.

I am feeling rather lousy...cough cough gack! UGH! ;(
I just put Joey down for a nap a few mins ago so I will be relaxing until he gets up...no work out today! I spent the morning paying bills (UGH! lol) and playing with Joey...now it's MY time!:+

I am enjoying the rebounder immensely Missy! It's such a change from what I'm used to and so easy on the knees and feet! AHHHHH! :+
I LOVE IT! I have lost a couple of pounds since I started using it so I guess the change is doing my body good!:D :D :D

Lauramax came back. She decided not to let herself be "scared away" from the boards. I may not agree with the opinnions that she (or others!) have posted lately but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't post! I just wish EVERYONE would READ and EDIT every post BEFORE they posted it and then maybe there would not be so much UGLINESS around here when a hot topic comes up. There are ways to express views and opinnions w/o being offensive, nasty, judgemental, etc. Just cause it's "HOT" doesn't mean it has to be NASTY, ya know?

Oh well...I'm hungry....I'll be back soon!:9
 
True, there is always an occasion to eat something nasty! But what would life be without little holidays?:)

Missy, you guys definitly have more choices in the cookie area.I should send you some money and then you can send me some cookies! LOL We only get 3 flavors around here and they aren't that great but I still manage to buy some.

Wendy, I agree with the re-reading of your post and not posting anything while you are angry and bitter.Then again, who am I to talk? Although the few times I have caused trouble, it was innocent enough.But someone always finds something wrong with some of my post or they come across the wrong way.But I know you love it!!! Then again, we are a bunch of women and women tend to cat fight and be touchy somedays more then others.
When are you going to get rid of that cold? DD as been coughing alot the last couple of days.I think she is trying to get the stuff up off of her chest.
Lori:)
 
Women are truly catty creatures...Don't take offense to this ladies but I have always liked men better than women as a whole. :eek: :p

I just think men are easier to get along with and easier to deal with! I've always kept men friends through the years and have probably had more friends in total that are men then women!

Anywhooo...it's FINALLY time for lunch now! I'll be back!:9
 
I agree. I have more female friends then males but when I have hung out with DH and his buddies, I realize how much fun men are! They have a good laugh and not b/c they are talking about another male that isn't there, or the latest gossip. I get along with men pretty good to b/c I am not whiny or clingy and when DH and his buddies are around, I don't feel as if they are waiting for me to leave! LOL I could be wrong though! They can say pretty much anything and I don't get offended
Lori:)
 
Wendy, I agree with you on all counts on both of your last posts! I really have learned alot just from being part of this forum how to bite my tongue when I really want to say something. Think of all the friends and fun I would have missed if I said everything that I felt as soon as it popped into my head without considering the thoughts and feelings of others! There are really so many beautiful qualities about so many people, I would rather not focus on the negative. And, on the guy friends part of it, I chose to hang out with guys all through school because all the girls did was sit and talk about who was cute, who's a b#tch, blah blah blah and I would rather have played b-ball with the guys. So guess what I was called? Yep. I was a slut because I hung out with guys all the time. But don't you think that they were just a little bit jealous? I did have two very wonderful girlfriends, though. But men are more fun because they get over things quickly and don't talk about each other behind their backs, they say it to your face!

Lori, dear, just to make you feel better I ate five more cookies. You don't have to feel so guilty now! ;) And you actually inspired my workout today!!! :) I did KM for my cardio! I only did the combos, though. My legs are shaking from PH, and I need them to run tomorrow! :D And I get the feeling that DH's friends like me as much as they like him, too, because I "let" him go out and don't hang all over him and demean him... In public, at least. ;)

Be back soon, youguys!!!

Missy
 
Oh...you've been a naughty girl! When are you going to sell these cookies and not buy them all yourself?:) Im glad I made you workout but I thought you would have been giving your treadmill a beating again today.
My outer thighs are starting to get sore.It took 24 hours for that to kick in.I can only imagine how my body is going to feel tomorrow morning when I get up!
Can't wait for American Idol to come on!!!
Lori:)
