Morning Ladies,
Morning Ladies,
Well, thanks to all of you for the kind words about me not needing to lose weight, but that picture was taken in the fall and over the winter I managed to put on a few pounds. So I need to rid myself of those and I never had truly defined abs, which is my goal right now. BTW, I had one peanut m&m last night! ooops! But I stopped there!
Here is this morning's workout:
Chest
Decline Flyes
15/15 30's ***these were hard won't go up much next week***
Back
Underhand Barbell Rows
15/15 - 73#
Quads
15 - 70#
15 - 65# ***legs are especially tired, just glad I didn't have to do hamstrings today***
Shoulders
Lateral Raises
15/15 - 15's
Triceps
Skull Crushers
15/15 - 45#
I was suppose to do calves but forgot to do them, so I'll go those tomorrow after cardio.
Missy - Apparently, you and I were posting at the same time, so I moved over here!
Have a great sweet free day!

Hey Gals!
Feeling sooo lazy today! DS as the cold and passed it on to me. There isn't enough coffee in this house to get me to move! hehe But I will be moving later cause I WILL be getting a workout in. Some people like to rest when they have the cold, I on the other hand, like to sweat it out of me!
Linda** O.k, then fine...you need to lose weight! Are you happy now? haha! Its not hard to gain a little over the winter monthes!
Missy** What do you have in store for today?
I think I need to get a bite to eat. I have been up for 3 hours and haven't had anything yet. Im wondering if this cold isn't toying with my appetite?

Catherine, how is the headache today? I am happy you didn't have a nasty one! Just thinking about the "M" word makes my temple pound. And I think you talked me into 4DS. Do you think that you can talk my husband into it, too?
Mag, I LOVE THE NEW PICTURE!!! R&C is due to be her in 10ish business days - I did the free shipping option on Amazon because I am way too cheap to pay the $8 for a mere $24 order that is light. I am just not that patient so I always end up wondering why I couldn't just pay the shipping!
Linda, I thought that your weights were awesome - 90# chest work? My goodness! I do know some of the gals in the HC checkin and they are pretty intense! I used to check in over there but I realized my goals weren't theirs. They are pretty freaking awesome and I totally admire them, I am just not *that hardcore. I am also another one who doesn't get on a scale - haven't been on one since October 2005. I just go by how I look in the mirror and how my clothes fit and I do much better at staying fit that way. I do know what you are saying about the "winter coat": I have one, too! It keeps my legs nice and warm, lol
ALICIA! So glad to see you, so sad to hear about what happened on your cruise. You're right, at least she was surrounded by people that can help her through this tough time... and not just a few friends but 17! What better hands could you be in?
I have some good news and some bad news... I will start with the bad because it segues into the good... I ate cookies last night. Yes. And they were delicious... but I only had 2!!! You have no idea how proud I was of myself! The hardest thing that I have ever been able to do is to STOP once I start, and I did it! I finally didn't want anymore, so I didn't have any more... that is such a great feeling. Then DH came home and asked me first: "Are you still doing the no sugar thing? I want to ask you because I know you love chocolate, but I don't want you to struggle... so, do you want a Twix?" You know what? It didn't even tempt me in the least. I did want chocolate, but I wasn't going to settle for just any old chocolate. I said "No, that isn't enough to tempt me." I felt so good.
Today I am running. I am giving the kids a 1/2 day because the PS have one and I am going to let them run around w/ their friends this afternoon. DS is going to take a nap so I will have the afternoon to myself? What better way than to spend it running, doing some Cathe upper body and then relaxing to a good book... I am thinking I will pick up again on my Laurel K Hamilton series. I haven't read her in a while.
Talk to you all later!

Hey Gals!
DS is down for his nap and I am waiting for him to wake. Not sure what the agenda is this afternoon but I doubt we will be going very far. I thought I heard him stir so I made lunch and when I peeked in at him, he was still asleep! LOL
Im done with GS & PUB bics and Imax 3. I will admit that the only thing I ate today is a cookie Im not hungry and I know I shouldn't have had that but I had just enough to give me energy to get through my workout! My body felt fine but my brain and eyes felt tired. Soup for lunch though and I have no clue whats for supper!
Missy** Good job on stopping at 2 cookies! Im not sure I would have done that either. Stupid like, I made brownies yesterday! I think it was b/c I was soooo bored in the house. There is only so much playing and reading you can do with a 15 month old. The only adult I seen yesterday was Cathe and crew! DH didn't get home from work until 6 and then thought he was going to hockey at 7:30 PUH! Anyway, the point to my story was that when I got up today I threw the brownies in the garbage. I knew they were going to be looking at me all day so I jsut got rid of them.
BBL gals!

YOU THREW THE BROWNIES IN THE GARBAGE!!!! That is one chocolate *would tempt me. It's a good thing it was in your house and not mine!!! :+ I can't remember the last time I was bored in my house. You know, I was thinking about what I used to do before I home schooled (you know, like after you had kids you imagined what the heck you did w/ your time before because you must have had so much of it?) and couldn't believe I thought I was busy *then. I was sooo ungrateful! But that is okay, because I like to keep moving.
So we both had cookies today. I hope that nobody else follows our example.
I still haven't run: there is a group of boys sitting in my living room watching yu-gi-oh movies. For some reason I think their parents would hate me if I ran, boobs all bouncing, in short shorts. That doesn't really sound like a good idea to me.
Okay, I have a question for you computer savvy gals: how do I italicize or bold my text?
See you later!

Throwing brownies in the garbage? NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Although I understand, the temptation would be way too great!
Missy, good job stopping at two cookies! It's after you start going for the third and fourth that the problems begin Thanks for the comment on my pic,you're sweet. That was in our room at the Luxor in Vegas last October. I really like your pic with the hands in the sand.....so romantic.
Linda, one peanut m&m doesn't count! And you stopped at one? Awesome! I don't know if I'd be able to
Now on to some confessions.....while I have not had sweets yet this week, the rest of my eating has been far from perfect. Went out for lunch today, going out for sushi tonight plus I don't think I'll be able to get a workout in today. To make things worse a coworker just left a choxie bar at my desk. I know she's just trying to be nice but I don't know how much longer I will be able to resist it. Maybe if I just have one little piece.......:9 ?

Hey gang!! Eating is still going good, but not for long probably }( It's girls night out tonight. I will try to keep it in check though. I did heavy upper body today. Still working on increasing my pullup numbers did a total of 12 unassisted in sets of 3s and 2s. Did more assisted with the band. I can do 5 or 6 sets of 5 chinups but pullups are my bane x(
Linda- great workout girl!! Do you do your skull crushers with a BB?
Missy-headache is gone completely. Thanks for asking!! Get the 4ds and just don't tell DH. That's what I do
Lori-I am with you on throwing out the temptation!!
Wow, just looked at the time and gotta go and get ready for this evening!!

Lori - Way to go on throwing out the brownies! I am so proud of you!
Maggie - Great picture! I can't believe I stopped at the one m&m there would have been a time that one would have been the beginning of an unstoppable binge. But fortunately I didn't give it any more thought!
Catherine - Yes I do skull crushers with a barbell. I need to work on getting the weight higher on those, I would have liked to have done 50#.

[font color=purple]Linda, I thank you! But everyone may want to kill you for telling me because I might just be a tad annoying with it [/font]
[font color=blue]Catherine, you can do how many pullups? It has been a while since I have done any... I am dying to try now! I am going to have to make it to the playground with the kids this weekend to give it a go. [/font]
[font color=green]Mag, I am concerned about your ability to eat any chocolate at all without showing even some sign of remorse. I think you need rehab, darlin'. I am so tempted to ask you what kind of chocolates they were, but like I need any more temptation! Oh, and I am jealous that you are getting to eat sushi tonight... that is my favorite![/font]
[font color=DeepPink]I had an awesome run and a great ab workout! I averaged 6.6 on 3% incline. I just love to run! It was too wet on the ground (not many paved roads here) so I had to stay inside and do the treadmill, but I can't wait to go back out! Especially now that the birds are back to sing to me... yes, I am a dork.[/font]

Helloooo ladies. Well, Mag ate some chocolate, but that's nothing compared to what I've eaten this week. It was just bad. Today I had cake and ice cream yikes! At least when I got home I felt tired but I still managed to do KM low impact premix. I almost didn't exercise! I'm glad there's always this thread so I can confess and get back on track. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Rose, Monday is so close!! Good luck on your first day at your new job
Missy, I can do 5 sets of 5 chinups and a few more if I want. The most chinups I've done in one set is 8. Pullups are another story. Right now I can do a couple of sets of 3 and then it's down to 2s.
I had a great time with the girls tonight. Didn't go over board, but did have dessert and now regret it. Mainly because it wasn't that good. Oh well, can't take it back.
Have a great night ladies!!

Hello All!
Today I did cardio & wieghts. Perfect w/o after having most of last week off (vacation). Tomorrow, I'm thinking run and legs, and then sunday, a soccer game.
Ate pretty well today - since we are all confessing: I ate 4 choc. mini eggs!! They were really good too.
Missy - great job on eating just 2 cookies!! thanks for asking on how to bold and add color to the post! Could never figure that out.
Linda - looks like you had a great w/o! I totally understand about the ab thing! I have the same problem. I'd love to have abs like Cathe or Jai.
Lori - wow you through the brownies out! That's will power. If I through something good out, it better be touching something yucky and close to the bottom!!! Hope your cold is getting better. I was feeling better run down today, (hoping a cold isn't coming on - everyone @ work has a cold). But, had to push thru it. I actually feel better....
Catherine - have fun on your girls night out!! Just enjoy yourself.
Mag- 2 choc. pieces isn't too bad
Rose - Oh cake and ice cream...now that is my favorite!! Good job on getting a w/o in!
OK- for those in the north...is this snow EVER GOING TO MELT!!! I'm ready for Spring!
Keep on track this weekend! Have a good weekend We can do it!!
