Good morning ladies..

Where is everyone? I thought I was busy this morning. I guess everyone is today...

Workout for me is Powermax today. NOt sure what the rest of the day will hold. But, things always seem to to pill up at the last minute...

Talk to you later..
 
gah I'm so stupid. for some reason I thought the T-day thread was for the whole weekend and I was like, ohhh, everyone is busy with family!

I've been baaaad. Eating eating eating and no working out...though I wonder if I was fighting a bug. I was sleepy ALL the time for the past two days which never happens unless I'm a bit sick. Today is a crazy workout day! Not leaving the house until I work out (that doesn't mean I can't send Joe out to shop!). I also have to drop by lab and sit down and prep for some of my students' tutoring sessions. I have one that doesn't understand the art of NOT cramming so I'm forcing him to go over the new material AHEAD of time with me and I have another who just needs a ton of practice so I have to make a bunch of questions. But I'm not sure what I'm going to do today...I was thinking of 4DS KB plus Plyo Legs to fry them below the waist. What do you all think?

BF was OK. I got two new sports bras from that alo company and I got these adorable shoes but the color online doesn't do justice. But I already bitched about how Macys wouldn't take a coupon from an earlier thread. I think I'm mostly doing online shopping this year...

happy Saturday!
 
We'

Hey Girls!

It was our turn to have high winds and have our power knocked out last night. A power line went down right across the street from us. It was FREAKY! A huge blue explosion and then there was a white fire ball on the ground with the wires. Alex was sleeping at a friends. The rest of us camped out downstairs on the pull out couch until the power went back on. which wasn't until about midnight.

It's still really windy today too! Crazy wind, and of course it was trash day, so there was trash everywhere!

I did end up finishing up MESO 2 yesterday, with DISC 24, Back and biceps. Worked hard, I got some good DOMS in my back today. I rarely get them there! I added on HIS from 4DS, which was fun! And my calf did FINE with it, so I'm happy happy !!!

I'm in a weird mood today. Got a bunch to do. even with Alex gone today (he went with his friend and his family to a football game), and there's less fighting, I'm a bit wired. I just polished off the *healthy* pumpkin choc chip cookies from Tday. Healthier is good, but only if you eat in smaller portions! LOL!.

Going to get my chores done , and TRY to do Fat Blaster from TJ (interval) afterwards!

Beth: Thanks for the advice on KCM workouts! Iwas in in the mood to buy yesterday, not so much today. We'll see if the feeling comes back...LOL!

Kathy: Have fun with Powermax! An oldie but goodie!!

Hottie
: You sound wiped out this week! Maybe you have got a "bug" of sorts? Get that workout in today!! It will probalby make you feel better. Good luck with your students!! I actually got through college by cramming. It was just my style (still is! LOL!). and did very well, made the Dean's List about every semester!.... I did some online BF shopping yesterday. Got some good deals at Old Navy. Got 8 items for $26!! Not too shabby!

Thinking of you Joanne, hope you're having fun with the fam~!!!!

*waves* to Vilma!!!
 
Hi everyone! I slept in and then did a sort of double workout -- KCM's 30 minutes weights -- which I forgot I had done recently, so it was kind of silly, though I did do a different premix, and then I tacked on a bunch of stuff. I love not having to get out of the house so that I can do extra bits of working out!

Hottie, sure hope you are not getting sick!! Probably good that you slept a lot. Good luck with all of the procrastinating students! :)

Chris, we have crazy wind here this morning, but still have power (knock wood!). Scary about the power line and crazy fireball thing. I have one missing this morning too -- when we met the mom yesterday to drop the kid we had, they ended up taking Travis and even to spend the night, so they will have had him 24 hours solid! That's a lot with a kid you don't know -- especially a high energy kid! She has a couple of older kids and one of them has ADHD, and she said she had a brownie troupe of 35 girls for many years, so she can handle anything.

It ended up being rainy yesterday, so we were mostly lazy. Today it is nice except for the wind and hopefully today or tomorrow we're getting together with our SF friends, though we have been lax about the planning! I sure hope it happens since we don't see them all that often.

Hope everyone has a great day.... I'll send this while we still have power!
 
Oh it's been a glorious hour...I decided to walk Evee since Joe had to go out but didn't feel like changing thinking nobody would be up...it seems every body wanted to walk their dog so they got to see me in 1) my red leopard PJs, 2) my unmatching pink crocs, and 3) in my unmatching softie socks I wear to bed. And then, I decided to pick up the poop out of the French Drain (I don't know why but Evee likes to poop there) because Joe mentioned he saw some in the back and didn't have a chance to pick it up...little liar. Some? How about ten mounds of big dog poop. Awesome, just awesome. ok, off to treat myself a little right now...
 
That's hilarious, Hottie! All of it!

Haven't lost power here, amazingly..... it was so windy at one point it sounded like it was hailing, but it was just leaves and broken twigs pelting the roof!
 
Hey Again!!!

I got Fat Blaster in somehow. Did papers w/Zach, came home, finished folding laundry, made them lunch, did FB, went to pick up Zach's friend, made meatballs, cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen... And soon I get to have a little nap and then go to work! :eek:

Beth: glad you got in a good workout!! Your shoulder is still doing ok? Have you started lifting heavier or maintaining right now? It's weird having Alex gone. His friend's mom said that he could even sleep over again tonight when they got home from the game, but i'm thinking that's not the best idea. He will be way too exhausted. It's weird, Alex is VERY high energy here, (and loud and crazy), but at someone else's house, he's different (or so they say!). Our winds FINALLY let up! There are so many branches and crap in the roads, it was dangerous driving today!

Hottie: LOL @ your Evee walk~! YOu're so funny! I swear, it was "National Walk your Dog Day" today or something!! On our paper route we saw a ZILLION people walking their dogs!! And it's not like the weather is nice , it was windy and COLD! Weird!!! ...*shudder* about the ton o' dog poop!! That is the definite down side to having pets, cleaning their droppings. I gag every time I clean the kitties' litter box. And I'm kind of OCD about keeping it clean too! LOL!

Waiting for Greg to come down so I can go take a nappy pooo!!!!!!
 
WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!

4DS KB and Plyo Legs!?!?!?

HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE LET ME DO THAT?!?!?!

::pant::

Ok, I think I punished myself enough for not working out for two days. I deserve some shopping after I shower...
 
Chris, my shoulder is pretty much back to normal -- I don't really think about it anymore, and yet nothing I do seems the same either, if that makes sense. The exercises my chiro showed me really have helped me with form and posture. So, in that way it's not the same -- it's much better! I'm back to heavier weights -- nothing hugely heavy like STS, but back to something more reasonable. I think I'm going to do 4DS this week and see how I do with that, since it's meant to use somewhat heavier weights. I think I may do some sort of circuits for a while so I'm doing weights every day -- or mostly every day. We'll see -- you know I change my mind a thousand times a month......

still really windy here! But, the power has stayed on through it all! My kids are finally in totally crazy screaming mode. At least they are not fighting -- just being totally crazy.

Hottie, you are crazy to do 4DS kb and plyo legs! :D
 
I thought I was late to the party..... where is everyone?!

Well, it finally happened..... sometime after dark we lost our power. There was a scramble for flashlights and candles -- usually we're better prepared, but apparently after the last outage we didn't put things in their usual places. Turns out a tree crashed down onto the transformer by our neighbors house, and..... get this..... landed across both of his trucks!!! :( PG&E did enough last night to get the power back on (after we were asleep!), and Larry went up this morning to help him unbury his trucks. Larry said they weren't too badly damaged all things considered. Hard to imagine from the sounds of it!

We ended up watching half of the movie Duma on our laptop before getting too tired. Nice movie -- can't wait to see how it works out and find out if it's based on a true story.

We're having our friends from SF come down today, just for a short visit. She's going to put in a lot of car time for not much visiting, but she wants to do it. My boys are excited..... I see some Settlers of Cattan in the picture, since those boys play, too.

I did Lalo this morning, with Larry there making sarcastic comments through half of it. Does that mean I had a menage a trois?! :D Boy, he is heavy on the shoulder work! I used light weights since I did weights yesterday. I was going to run, but it was still pretty windy and since we didn't sleep very well I just wasn't up for it.

Hope everyone is having a nice day..... I cannot believe it's Sunday already -- I really don't want to face the grind again so soon!!
 
Hi everyone...

Went to church this morning then we came home and went for a nice walk. After that, I hit the grocery store to get that out of the way for the week...

Today is a rest day for me on my workouts...
