HI Girls,

I don't know if anyone will check in today but I figured I could start this and see where it goes from there:)

When I got home yesterday I asked DH about the treadmill situation and he said that he contacted the guy who sells them.He asked him a few questions and he was suppose to get back to DH about it.In the end, DH called him back and left a message telling him to send the best treadmill they carry:) DH figues the guy selling them knows that he is doing b/c he is a personnal trainer so I bet he spends lots of time in the gym.Anyway...very exciting!!! Not sure when I will get it but I also get another 20% off.

I didn't do much last night except workout.I wanted to go to bed early but didn't get there.I slept in until 7 though so I should be o.k today.We have a party tonight so I am hoping to get a workout in before that.But we will see!

Have a good day everyone!
Lori:)
 
Lori,

Hubby is working today so I get to get on the computer. Usually on Saturday's I can never get on. LOL! So WOW, your getting the best treadmill money can buy? You lucky girl!!!! You will have to take a picture of it and share!!! I want to see it!!!! Maybe it will motivate you to run more miles, ya never know! What a sweet hubby of yours.

I only did my 3 sets of the bbm workouts w/weights. I was exhausted from a ton of working out the other day. I will do chest/back today and whatever else Cathe has planned on the rotation.


Charlotte~~
 
Lori, did you end up going out last night? And DH is getting you the best, huh? :) What exactly does he think that he is going to get out of it? ;) :p

Charlotte, I would be exhausted, too! And how are you able to be on the computer this morning? Don't you have two teens? ;)

I am not going to be on again since we usually have busy weekends, but I was able to be on now because DH is sleeping in, the kids were fighting so I sent them to their seperate rooms and Logan is going from room to room trying to get his older brother and sister to do things for him. He is a little $^#@. A cute one, though! :p

Today I am doing KM warm up and combos, and then I am going to do the push up routines I posted earlier this week followed by some sun salutations and warrior poses and a nice yoga stretch. And then I am getting my hair done today! I am so nervous!!! The last four times I have gotten it cut, it got chopped and looked like craziness because my hair is so thick and people just want to get the job over with. Pray for me, you guys!

Wendy, Marcia, Susan and Sara: good morning and have a great day! I will most likely see you Monday after my EIGHT MILE RUN!!!! :D

Missy
 
Hey girls, I'm here too.........

Lori - I can't wait to hear about your treadmill, I'm so jealous! The one I have is a $200 one from Kmart that has the smallest track to run on, but I guess it will have to do for now.

Charlotte - Good luck with your workout, whatever Cathe has planned is probably something good }(

I was wondering what your girls thought of the Tank Top Rotation? Lori, I thought I read in past posts that you did this one, any good results???? I LOVE cardio and do a lot of it and as much whenever I have time, but my weight work really sucks. x( I want some killer arms for summer so I thought I'd incorporate the tank top rotation with all my cardio and maybe that will give me the arms and upper body I want PLUS shed this extra weight with the cardio being done. What do you wonderfully educated woman think????

Have a great day!
Marcia.
 
Good Morning Ladies!!!

Hopefully I will get to run today. I want to wait until it warms up a bit. I downloaded 2 new songs on my mp3 player, so I am ready to go!!! However, dh and the boys have to drive an hour away to get some straw (hay). Dh is wanting to plant some grass seed, but we need to cover it with straw. We live on s big hillside so everything washes away when it rains! We spent $100 on grass seed and I don't want it to wash away!!! I might do supersets or some kind of light weight workout since I missed so much last week.

Lori, I can't wait to see that treadmill!! I was telling my sister about you and how you run for a whole movie. She was quite impressed! She has been running for about 10-15 years now.

Charolette, Enjoy your morning on the computer! When my dh is home, he is always burning movies and cds on the computer! Hey, am I spelling your name right?

I think dh and I are going out to eat tonight. I am really looking forward to not cooking or cutting food into tiny pieces for 3 kids!

Have a great day everybody!!!

Marcia,

I have never done the tank top rotation so I don't know what to tell you! Have you done Missy's pushup routine yet? I think I might try that today! I have been practicing doing pushups on my toes (I do knees all the way!). Since then, I have noticed some more definition in my arms, back, and chest.

Missy, Have fun on your run!!! WOW, 8 miles!! How long have you been running. You know what, my kids are fighting too. Maybe it is in the air. The moon looked pretty crazy last night....maybe that has something to do with it :)

Have a good weekend!

Sara,

No, you are not spelling my name right, but it's o.k.:* What songs did you download? Oh, it is cold here today, pretty out with the sun shining and all, but I don't think I want to go out...I hate to freeze! Only going to be 51 today.

Missy,

My son spent the night over his friends house. There is a XBox Halo Competition at his school today. Starts at 11am. He is really one smart boy with alot of other smarties so it will be interesting to hear what team won. I really do believe my son could be a surgeon, scientist or something on those lines. He is smart, smart, smart!!!! DD is going over her boyfriend's house today. Don't worry, the mom is picking her up and I will have a chat with her. Already discussed about leaving the door open while in boyfriend's room, etc. I donot want to be a granny anytime soon! So looks like I will be alone again today with DH working and kids gone. Gosh, I am use to it though. Think I will just pick my nose all day! Just kidding! EW!! LOL!

Marcia,

I want you to go as heavy as you can manage. I want some veins popping out of your head, o.k? Clench them teeth and get going! Let us know how you do, alright?

Missy,

I want pictures of your new hairdo, o.k? Have fun!


Wendy,

Have you drank your coffee yet? What are you doing?


Susan,

I know you must still be sleeping or something Ms. West Coast Girlie! Hope your having sweet dreams.

Charlotte~~
 
I printed out Missy's push workout and that's going in my rotation, too. I'm going to put something together combining the pushup workout, tank top rotation and LOTS of cardio. Wish me luck, this good be challenging, I'm not good at putting rotations together. BUT, I also have to stick to it - but, I'm worth the effort. :)

Charlotte - Quit picking your nose and get down to business girl ;-)

Everyone have a great day!

Marcia.
 
Wow..I am very surprised to see all you gals!! Goody!!!!

Well, it won't be the best money as to buy but I guess it will be the best one that Icon sells.Hopefully it won't be that expensive though;) It makes me sort of nervous went Im not sure what the $ figure will be.Then again, the list he sent us the most expensive one was $1600.

Marcia, I did the TTR yrs ago and I got great results.I am also doing something like that now, except lots of cardio and legs 2 x a week.I can feel a difference in my legs more so then my arms.I have been using the GS workouts but I am trying to decide to change this week comming up or wait until the end of the month.This is the 4th week I have been doing the same thing.

Missy, I didn't go out last night.I did a 4 mile run and Gs legs.I was so crabby and I don't know why.I think it was b/c I made myself workout and I didn't want to:) I am going out tonight though but just to a friends house, I don't think I will go downtown or anything...thats just TROUBLE!!

Charlotte, GOOD MORNING!! Are you buns better buns yet? You will be wearing a thing swim suit this summer...I just know it:7

Sara, how are ya?

Where is Miss Wendy? She is probably gone to the beach in the middle of the winter just to show off her hot bod in her new swim suit.
Lori:)
 
Lori,

What is a "thing" swimsuit? LOL! You mean thong, don't you? Uh, no. I guarantee you that no one will ever see me in such form. It will never happen.

Charlotte~~
 
One of you all want to answer my question about leg work (see my post)? I need help. I need to know if it is o.k. to be lazy today and not do leg work or do it. HELP!!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
My goodness you gals are super chatty this morning! I just sat here for a while reading through all of the posts and it took so long that now I have forgotten what most of them said!:7 :p

Lori, Your DH sounds wonderful! I hope whatever treadmill you end up with ROCKS! Have fun tonight at your friend's house. The next time I go to the gym (probably tomorrow), I intend to use the treadmill. I just hope I don't go flying off the back when I turn up the speed to try some running!:7 :7 :7

Sara, So where do you think you'll be going to dinner tonight? Are you bringing the kiddos or is this a night out alone for mommy and daddy? }(

Charlotte, No thong bikini? Why not?? :p I wear thong underwear because they are comfy and have no panty lines but you would NEVER catch me in such a suit either!:eek:

Missy, Did you say that you are doing an 8 mile run on Monday? YIKES! I know that you are training for a race...how long is the race and when is it??

Marcia, Any treadmill is better than no treadmill, right?:) I've seen the one that Kmart has....it's a great option for little space or a tight budget. I considered one for myself but decided to opt for the gym membership instead since I may decide I don't even LIKE to run!
 
Hey it's me again!

Since there are a few runners here....

I am going to the gym tomorrow and I intend to use the treadmill. Any advice for someone in good shape but new to running? How do I do this? Just get on warm up and GO FOR IT!? LOL Or is there a RIGHT way to start as a beginner to running? HELP! :eek:
 
Just do it! You do Cathe don't ya? What can you not do then? LOL! I had the same approach when going to the gym with my brother. Just got on the treadmill and kept going for about 30 mins. That is all I had in me at the time, plus it was later in the evening so I was tired. You will do better then you think. Just pick a pace you are comfortable with and don't look at the other people, if you can manage. It can be distracting.

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte, yes I meant THONG~!!!:p :p I never check for spelling errors and I always get ahead of myself. I didn't read your post about legs but that made me think.

Should I take today off as well? Im debating.I took Thursday off and I am worried that if I stay out to late tonight, I won't get up to work out tomorrow morning (thats a given) but I figure I will be lazy to workout tomorrow night as well.So I dunno;( :eek: :) I feel like doing a long run b/c I know I will have a couple of drinks, and some food.BUT I don't want to show up at 10 either! I don't get off of work until 6:30.

Wendy, just do what makes you feel comfy.Start out slow and then kick it up a knotch for a bit, then you could walk for a bit.Just feel it out and see how long you can go.You will need to get your breathing down pat first.

There is a fly flying around the room.I hope he didn't fly out of my salad;) He is on the window now and I don't see any dressing on him.He must have came to life.I should introduce him to the outside, I don't think he will survive very long.
Lori:)
 
Thanks for the advice Charlotte and Lori...I may just have to go to the gym today as a matter of fact...I haven't quite decided yet!}(

Lori, work out tonight. Just do what there is time for...it's better than nothing, right? :)
 
Lori,

You crack me up. I hope like mad that fly did not come out of that salad of yours with dressing on it and such! LMAO!!!!!

Well I just got back from Wal Mart cuz I was running out of a few things like trail mix, milk, wheat pancake mix for my protein pancakes, etc. Lady in front of me decided to buy a candy bar at the last minute. You know, I wanted to say something to her like..."you don't need that, put it back". You know I can't though. LOL! Not very happy looking people out there shopping today...look like a bunch of scrooges or something. Glad to be back home with my happy dogs/cat. No one else is around for me to look at except for myself and I am tired of looking at myself for the moment! LOL! I did finish my chest/back workout though. I guess I will do Coremax 2 next. I am trying not to eat every hour. The problem is I am full when I do eat a meal, but I can't stay FULL for long!!!! Ugh!!!!

Wendy,

Well decide for goodness sakes!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
There are flies in Canada? http://www.smileys.ws/smls/confused/00000010.gif I am just kidding, of course! Starting in May, they will start coming back. And then the Japanese beetles will infest. But then the butterflies will come and all will be well again! http://www.smileys.ws/smls/grinning/00000001.gif

Charlotte, I didn't check your post yet, but I will do so now! :) I don't know if I will have any answers for you, but I will at least look. http://www.smileys.ws/smls/action/00000057.gif Aren't these just the cutest little emoticons? I know how you love my smileys! Here is one that reminds me of you: http://www.smileys.ws/smls/action/00000039.gif

Wendy, I agree with Lori, start out nice and slow. Stop and walk if you need to and then start jogging again at a nice slow pace until you build up endurance. Because this is your time, try to go for no more than 20 minutes so that you aren't too sore tomorrow, and make sure you REALLY stretch those hip flexors, quads, inner thighs and calves/achilles: It will make popping that cherry much less painful.

Well, I am going to get my hair done, and then afterwards my friend and I are going to Victoria's Secret to get something naughty for my anniversary. http://www.smileys.ws/smls/cheeky/00000011.gif Nine years ladies! :) I couldn't be happier or more in love with love! Where is a couch? I feel the need to jump. http://www.smileys.ws/smls/cheeky/00000004.gif

Have a good one!

Missy
 
Missy,

My oh my, all the cute little characters you have going on there. Is that me with the whip? LOL!

We have a ton of flies here once it warms up. Alot of people here have chicken farms, horses, cows, pigs, Llama's, etc. Gosh!

What are you talking about Missy, about popping cherries? LOL! WTH? LOL! Thought everyone here has already had that happen? LOL! Are you reminiscing or something? So nine years of love? That is just so nice to hear! I will be married 19 this September and my hubby swears I don't love him anymore, but he just wants more attention when he says that. He knows I love him. Well have fun today. I am sitting in this house by myself again and I am not having fun! I am ready to go shopping or something.

Charlotte~~
 
Wendy, I listen to you so well! I will workout, just like yesterday when you told me to get the treadmill and shut up about it:+ I think I will do BC and a run in between.

Charlotte, the fly came out of no where and flew into my head! And I was sitting and eating my salad, so i was like..."did that just fly out of my salad"? He is still out there on the window.

Missy, 9 years:eek: Wow you were YOUNG!! Take a pic of your new hair cut when you get home, I wanna see:) If I had been off today I would have gotten my hair done..me thinks.

I kept myself busy all day but now I am bored.Come on 6:30!!

Lori:)
