Good morning ladies..

Imax 3 and medicine ball abs are my schedule for today...Disc 11 gave me some DOMS. Thankfully not too bad though...I should be fine to lift my arms during Imax 3 later....

Today is our library day...So, we will be going there this afternoon...Ok, the dog needs to go out and the kids need to be waking up..


Be back later...

G'Morning!!!




Going to Walmart, possibly the Mall with hubby this morning. I think I'm going to try to run at the park again for my cardio today, after we get back. Ab work is also due, not sure which one I'll do!..

I'm feeling really tired this morning. Last night was the meeting for Zachs trip to DC. I was SOOO wired and anxious when I got home, I swear, I am not made to have a child with a lifelong chronic illness. I'm so freaked out. Not sure if they'll "let" me go, I will hear today from the VP on it. But there is another mom who has a son with diabetes. But he doesn't have the pump. He instead gives himself shots before EVERY meal and at snacks (6 shots a day!). She makes an offer to the VP that she doesn't have to come ON the trip with the school, that she could get down there by herself. Ummmmmm... I don't WANT to travel by MYSELF there. I PRAY the VP doesn't go with that idea. .... I get so freakin nervous. When I feel this way I think I either need drugs or therapy....

Kathy: Have fun with IM3 today!!! Love Med Ball abs!!! You got some good plans there!

Hottie: Saw your post from last night. sorry you lost internet and that it's TOM again and hitting you hard. Hope today is better!!

to Beth and Joanne AND Vilma!!!!

Good morning! Ok, get this...... workout done, check, showered, check, clothes/make-up on, check, kitchen vaccumed, check, dog fed, check, chickens fed, check. Time? 6:27 am!!! I'm a crazed fiend this morning. Ok, I made Larry feed the chickens.... he was on his way out anyway!

Saw all the comments from last night. Those sit & stands -- I think it's all about balance and some momentum (which I don't think is cheating in this case!).

Joanne, I'm sure that teletubby comment was awful at the time, but I knew you'd have a sense of humor about it now (otherwise you wouldn't have told us!). Good for you for getting back in shape and be able to look back and laugh!

Chris, I can't believe they don't allow parents to go on that trip -- especially in your situation! That is just crazy!! Out here, parents go. I guess every 8th grader in America must make that trip. Well, my friend at work -- his daughter went last year and what they told the parents on that trip (he didn't go but somehow heard this) was that they keep a very grueling schedule and they move very quickly and if you cannot keep up, they will absolutely leave you wherever you are. They wouldn't leave the kids, but would leave adults to find their own way back to the hotel. I would insist on going..... somehow! I hope it all works out.

Hottie, cheers to you......

Oh, my workout..... I did barre stuff -- rubbery legs again here!!!

Happy Thursday......

Hi ladies!!

Chris, it's totally understandable to be worried about the trip. I hope they come to their senses and let you go. I wonder why they are so against parents going.

Beth, wow, you're a machine today!!

Well, I did it!! I did all four of the bonus sections from Meso 1. The first two were easy - I was thinking, oh, this isn't so bad. The 3rd and 4th (9 and 12) were tough!! I forgot about those paper plate pull ins or whatever they're called. And, of course, the dreaded hamstring roll ins on the ball. But, I was pleasantly surprised that I could do them as well as I used to when I was doing them more often. Which isn't all that great, but don't seem to have lost any strength. It wasn't too bad switching the DVDs - I just put in the next one and went to the chapters menu and scrolled down to the bonus stuff. Good workout - thanks for the idea!!

Dinner with my mom was really nice last night. We surprised her. I could tell she wasn't really into going at first, but she wound up having a really good time. We even did the cheesy have the waitress bring a cake and sing to her thing. My aunt's boyfriend stayed with my dad and I'm sure drove him crazy, but it was good for my mom to get out.

Almost time for lunch....BBL

Great workout, Joanne -- thanks for being the guinea pig! That is true -- with the chapters I guess it's not so bad getting there -- do you know how long it took you? Yes, those plates were tough!

Chris, I forgot to congratulate you on the clean eating yesterday -- good work. I was extra hungry on the legs day, too, but unfortunately I went with the junk I wanted! Grrrrr. Trying to do better today!!

Fun dinner Joanne -- nice that you could get out that way!

 

[jojobean]

Beth, it was probably a little less than an hour, maybe 45-50 minutes. I know, I go for the junk, too - trying to be better!!

Hey Gals!

What a day. Good and not so good. I was in this depressed state this morning. I don't know why. I guess just getting sick of feeling so panicky about Zach all the time. And feeling in a rut of the same thing.

So went out with Greg to walmart..got all we needed, but then decided to go to the Mall. I bought a new CD and new Victoria Secret panties and then went out to lunch with the hubby to Uno's . There goes the clean eating theory! LOL!... But it was so good! Started off with this amazing Pumpkin Soup... YUM! .. .Anyways wae had a good lunch. And then I came home, feeling very slug-like, but kicked my ass into gear and got to the park for a WONDERFUL run!!! It was sooo nice out..and of course it felt good. The park is sooo pretty everywhere. And the fresh air was so invigoratiing. I came home and did 2 ab workouts from On-Demand.

I did eat a light supper though.

The school never called me today I'll have to call tomorrow if they don't.

Beth: You ARE a machine!! How are you feeling tonight???I know , I HAVE to go on that DC trip. HAVE to. I guess IF they said the nurse was going (and I trained her to put in the pump needle, I'm sure she never did that before) , I'd feel okay about not going. But I need to go for ME as well as HIM.

Joanne: AWESOME job on legs today! I'm excited you did it, now I want to! That's a good amount of time for a leg workout too!

Welp...gotta go. I'm so freakin tired now. And we have to finish homework.. *sigh*

 

[bitmover]

Chris, I totally understand you needing to go for you as much as for him!

Nice day with hubby! I'm feeling pretty good still..... there's always more to do, you know? Right now I need to go unload groceries, for instance, but.....

I had to tell you guys that I discovered Mindy Mylrea lives not 15 miles from me, probably! I was looking at her website to see if there was any kind of forum where I could figure out if I could do her bosu workout sans bosu (since I don't have one!). Well, no forum that I could see, so I looked up contact info so I could send her mail, and she lives in Santa Cruz! Anyway, I sent her mail and she got back to me today and said maybe she'd see me downtown sometime.

And, I heard very quickly from Hottie that she won't be on-line for a while.... just so you're not wondering......

gotta get to the groceries and dinner!
