P90X Grads and Nancy- Saturday!

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning.

Okay so I totally blew off my work out yesterday with out a second thought and then proceeded to eat 3 pieces of pizza for dinner! YIKES! LOL

Come to think of it though, it's actually not a BAD thing that I took a rest day! I realize now that I had no rest day between my recovery week and starting my new rotation! I would normally take a rest day on Sunday but since I am running that race with Cathy and Shelly I didn't have one scheduled. I guess it all works out for the best then!:+

So any other's with tattoos hiding in our group? }( Anyone have a secret desire to get one but haven't for some reason???

Well, DH and I are going to the gym today. I will either use the elliptical or go for an easy run on the TM. In light of the race tomorrow I can't go hard if I decide to run today.

Have a great day!

BBL!

Good morning, ladies ~ happy Saturday! Another gorgeous day here in S. Jersey!

And I am reveling in a day of having to do absolutely NOTHING! No grad work, no grading, no lesson plans - ahhhh!!!it's a beautiful thing! Nothing on today's agenda except yoga.

Wendy :: sounds like yesterday was the perfect day to take a rest day!...No, I don't have any tats, and I don't think I want any - although I came very close to getting one while in college. My friend and I were standing in the tattoo parlor spur-of-the-moment, and I just couldn't decide what I wanted. I spent a few weeks thinking of ideas and talking to different people. At the time, I worked in an Italian bread bakery, where there were a lot of older customers I was friendly with. They kept showing me *their* tattoos, which looked kind of, well, discolored and wrinkled at that point. Most of them said they wouldn't do it again, and it just made me think twice about the whole thing. Now, I don't knock tattoos - I'm a live & let live kind of person - and think a lot of tattoos look cool (as long as someone doesn't go overboard - too many tats, IMO, is no longer attractive) but the reasons I decided against it as a good choice for *me* are 1) I don't really know what exactly I would want permanently inked on my body (it's almost a philosophical thing - as in, nothing in life is permanent) and 2) I fear what it would look like down the road.

Hi everyone

It's a glorious day here as well. I wish all of summer would be this comfortable. I've had the windows open for days now and the weather has been picture perfect. Although I see the heat and humidity is supposed to be rolling in on Monday.x(

I did Cathe GS legs yesterday and my calves are burning today. I think I have PUB on tap for today and I should go and get it done. I have plans to just hang out with a friend today and prbably indulge in some cold beverages. We haven't had a chance to just sit and talk in ages and we both finally have some free time. DS is still puffy this am, but he is not itching as bad and says he feels much better than yesterday. He was supposed to go tractor pulling with DH today, but figured it would be best not to go. So, my alone day is not quite so much, but we'll have a good time.

Wendy - So how was the wax? Not too painful I hope. Would you do it again?
Great call on your rest day, even though you many not have planned it that way. Sounds like it worked out perfectly for you.
Your run tomorrow sounds so very cool. Have you and Cathy met before or will this be your first meeting?
I do not have a tatoo. It is my understanding that you can not donate organs if you have a tatoo. I'm not sure if that is true or not, but I would like to do that so I've refrained from getting one. But, as Cathy said, I have seen some that are pretty cool and wouldn't mind getting one in an "out of the way" spot - but doubt it would look very sexy at say 85 years old. LOL! Although, at 85 years old I doubt I would care much what anyone thought.

Cathy - NOTHING on the adgenda for today?? Ahhhhhh - you deserve it! Pick up a smutty romance novel and relax with a nice cold beverage. Sounds like a bit o heaven. Have a wonderful day!!

Just found out my friend is coming over here this afternoon so I gotta jet and start picking up the house. BBL to see what everyone is up to.

Hey Ladies.

I am back from the gym and "lunched". I don't have a lot of time. I want to get showered and head over to the tattoo place to give them my idea and find out how long until I can get this done!}(

I ended up giving in to the call of ITread and did #11/40 mins. I took it slower then usual though and even walked some of the hills. If I run slower tomorrow so be it. I'm personally in this race to meet up Cathy and Shelly, not for the race itself.

Off I go!
Have a great day!

Hey girls,
I'm back to report in that I did Crunch Joy of Yoga outside on my laptop. Feels great to suck in the fresh air! I needed a good stretch - not only do I have DOMS in the tris, but I've also developed them right at the outer edge of the glute.

Angie :: glad to hear DS is doing a little better. Poor thing. We are due to get the humidity Monday again, too - I'm savoring this while it lasts!...Good point that when you're 85, who cares what it looks like. At that point, I'll just be happy to still be alive! *lol* I guess the main factor in my deciding not to get one is that I just didn't have a strong enough urge for anything in particular. I figured I'd get something that I thought was cool NOW but wouldn't think so later.

Wendy :: sounds like a good workout! What did the tat parlor say? I decided to leave at around 7 tomorrow. I don't think traffic should be jammed up at that hour, so it should give me enough time. I will be wearing a bright orange shirt and will look for you & Shelly at the designated spot when I get there.

All right, let me go bring this laptop inside and down a little vitamin C. I seem to be getting a little bit of a sore throat. Which would be typical for me. It's happened to me more than once that as soon as I get a break from work/school/whatever or try to go on vacation, I get sick! Knock wood I can keep the germs at bay.

TTYL!

Hi Ladies,

Well I'm dressed and ready to head downstairs for a cardio workout. I have no idea which one as nothing is really sounding fun today.

No tattoo's here either. DH and I have often talked of each getting one, but have never actually done it yet.

Wendy & Cathy-have a fun run tomorrow

Cathy-enjoy your yoga and "carefree day" today!

Angie-I thought I asked you to stop cleaning just yesterday, and you're already at it again

I report back and let you know what workout I did.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Hey everyone,

I did HEX workout, the combo of Imax3 and lowmax, and it finishes up with the kickmax blast. Glad it's over as I really didn't feel like working out today.

Angie-I'm so glad to hear your son is feeling better today. It's never fun when the kiddo's aren't feeling well. Have a great visit with your friend.

Cathy-Wow, how fun to do yoga outside!

Diana

Hi again girls

PUB is history. Had to do it early along with some minor cleanmax. But we had a good day just sitting and talking and drinking ice cold beverages. I'm tired! LOL!

Diana - Obviously if I did cleanmax on a regular basis and did it like I was supposed to I wouldn't have to be at it all of the time. I have a countertop that gets filled with stuff b/c it's right where you walk in the door and it's nearly impossible to keep cleaned off. Arg! }( All the junk mail, school papers, spare change, groceries, etc. end up there. It's an eyesore for anyone who comes over if it's not de-cluttered every few days.
Glad you got your workout in. Is tomorrow rest day for you?
Have you heard anything from DS yet via fax or can you only fax him?

Cathy - Yoga outside sounds too fun. Was it distracting at all with bugs or the hot sun or other people or anything? I have never done a w/o outside with the laptop. I guess that's one way I could take Cathe with me on vacation, but nah. LOL
Hope you all have a lot of fun with your race tomorrow.

Wendy and Cathy - you go get em girls! I'll bet you will have a great time. Keep us posted!

Good night all

Angie

Okay ladies...I am set for July 2nd at 5pm to get "inked"!}( }( }(

The party today was nice. I am dawg tired and have a headache though so I need to hit the bed really soon. I have to get up w/the chickens so I can make it to the race in time!

Have a great night!

Hey all

Just wanted to give you a heads up that beachbody just sent me an email that their new program is available. It's 5 workouts at 10 minutes each for about $30 which includes shipping. Sounds a bit pricy to me. Who's gonna take the dive? Ummmmm....Wendy.....you are the group guinea pig...what ya gonna do??? LOL!

I'll bet these will be on my CC before the day ends tomorrow.
