Good morning, ladies! :) Happy Fourth!

I am up early (w/ the chickens, as Wendy would say)...It takes awhile for my body to get into vacation mode and realize I don't have to wake up at 5 am!

Angie :: Sounds like a fun night. I love games. Used to do a game night with some girlfriends but not anymore. Enjoy sleeping in today!

Wendy :: LMAO at you with those links. Of course, I will go check them out.

Well, today calls for PUB + 200 walking lunges. I have some DOMS in the hammies from yesterday's PLB + the run.

Have a great holiday, everyone!
Cathy :)

Wendy :: I cannot believe you have me rethinking the tat thing! *lol* It is something I dismissed years ago and now I think I actually have a design that would make sense and not be a later regret. OK, as I think I mentioned before, both of my parents immigrated here from Germany, so I'm thinking of something that reflects my German-American heritage. To get a little deep for ya, I have often felt torn between two worlds. Having had the opportunity to make many trips overseas, my father's hometown sort of became a home away from home. Last year, I obtained dual citizenship...it just seems like a fitting idea. I found this

http://www.gaccsv.org/german-american/germans-americans.jpg

and like the circular design of it, minus the stuff in the middle. I would switch the order of the flags, too, so that the American flag is on top (on the top of the circle). (At first, I thought these were four overlapping flags, but after looking at it awhile, I see it's just two flags intertwined.) Then I was thinking of having the latitude/longitudes of my "homes" on each of the flags. Or maybe in the middle with a cool-looking heart. Naturally, this entire tattoo would be so small that the needle only needs to touch the skin once. *LOL*

OMG, look what you started!!!

Cathy :)

Cathy,

I think your tat design idea is AWESOME! I really like it! Very meaningful! My tats are just "pretty" or "cool". :p I told you what happened to my one MEANINGFUL idea...UGH...though I DO hope to figure something else out in the future perhaps.
Anyway, I honestly love the idea of putting the lat. and long. of each country in the center of the circle to replace whatever is in there. I think you are on to something...:) As far as the one needle only touching your skin ONCE, you are too funny! That definately made me giggle!:7 So where on your body would you consider putting this?

Hey Gals!

Today I am going to hit the gym and attempt a run. I am hoping my back cooperates. Sweat is not my fear any longer. Today it is the rubbing of my shirt on my back! EEK! :eek: I won't wear a short top to work out in public but perhaps I can tuck just the back of the top up to free my tattoo of anything that will irritate it. We'll see what happens....I hope I can run. I have a new ITread to try out!!!}(

BBL!
 
RE: P90X Grads & Nancy ---> 4th of July calories don't ...

Thanks, Wendy! I caught a glimpse of that tattoo show (I think it's on TLC) last night, where a woman was having a LARGE tattoo of her horse done on her calf, and I did not want to look! *lol* But she was chattering away the whole time and didn't flinch.

I think I would have this done near my underwear line. I'm thinking this would be a good "reward" for reaching my goal weight. That gives me time to figure out how to get this design the way I want it. You have to go in there with ready-to-ink artwork, right?

All right, enough foolin' - I better go work out!

Yeowch! Can you wear a loose shirt? If not, I say screw it and wear the bra top. You got the bod for it, girl - why not? Probably not many peeps at the gym on the 4th of July at this hour, anyway.

Mornin girls

Just got up a little while ago. Why is it every time I want to sleep in I get woke up by the phone?}( Just drinking a cup of java and then off to the parade. Hopefully I'll have the whole day to play with to get my stuff done and to just chill. I feel like I've been on the go since the week started. I also want to read some of my book - it has been shouting my name since I started it on Saturday and I haven't been able to get to it. The weather's calling for rain today, so if that happens, the book and I have a date!

Gotta go get ready for the parade - I only have 10 minutes.:eek: I'll BBL for personals.

Hi Girls.

ITread 7/40 mins is done and it's about time to hit the showers. I had no troubles with my tat as my shirt was very loose. :)

Cathy: You do not have to have ready to ink artwork with you. You do not have to have ANYTHING but an idea in your head! You can go into a (good) shop and tell the artist your idea and ask him to draw it up for you! It's totally up to you! You can pick flash straight off the shop wall, you can have them change any design you see in any way you want, you can bring in your own drawing, etc. There's really no holds barred when it comes to tats. If it's a good shop they will work with you no matter how much or how little you give them to work with. :)

Hey Angie!

Sorry my time is up...off to the showers!:)
 
RE: P90X Grads & Nancy ---> 4th of July calories don't ...

Hi Ladies,

Sad to say but I just got up. I'm drinking coffee and perusing the forums. I never made it to the gym so I have Chest & Triceps and a fun cardio.

Cathy-you are the early bird aren't you. Have fun with all those walking lunges.

Angie-have fun at the parade! Hope you can relax and enjoy your book today too. Oh-get the kids to help you clean out the trailer. After all, they get to enjoy it also so they can help take care of it. Well, that's the strategy I use to get the kids to help clean the house :)

Wendy-Your workout is already done for the day-I'm jealous. How long does it normally take for a tattoo to heal? Can't wait to see them all.

Nancy-Happy 4th Nancy. Hope you are enjoying your vacation.

Laura-I know you're busy entertaining your family with your nephew's birthday party. Have a great day.

Happy 4th,

Diana

Just got back from the parade and gobbled up a slice of leftover pizza. I thought since no calories count today, it would be a good day for pizza!:)

Wendy - So what are you gonna do with the rest of your day? I'm sure you have something fun on tap. I too am jealous that you already have your w/o over with.

Cathy - I think your tat looks awesome. It's cool too that you put so much thought into it. How big would it be? Like the size of a half dollar coin?
What w/o did you tackle today?

Diana - Glad you got to sleep in.:) I want to peruse the forums today too - haven't been there in a few days so I'm sure I missed a lot.
I do plan on having the kids help out with the cleaning. They are just so darn uncooperative today.x( Neither one of them wanted to go to the parade but we went anyways and guess what??....yup - they had a lot of fun and saw some of their friends from school. When are they gonna learn that we know what we're doin? My mom always used to tell me when I was young - I hope you grow up and have a kid just like you!!:p I've yelled at my mom for cursing me cuz it has happened!
What fun cardio do you have planned? RS or SB maybe?

Laura - Hope you are getting good weather for your party. I'll bet you're having lots of fun.:)

Happy 4th everyone!!;) :)

I'm baaack!

DS is down for his nap, I am showered and dressed, DH and I both ate lunch and I just cleaned up the kitchen a bit. DH is napping on the couch now so here I am!:)

Diana, Good for you-sleeping til noon! I don't know how to do that anymore!LOL Have a good work out today. The tat I got should take about 2 weeks to heal. The bigger they are, the longer they take.

Angie, Kids will be kids, right? I never wanted to help my mom clean! Well, atleast not past the age of maybe 5 years old when I still thought it was playing! :7

Hello again—
It’s a bit breezy out there, so I’m finding myself lazing around indoors. Have been researching latitudes and longitudes and am not coming up with very consistent coordinates!

Angie :: what are you reading right now?…I did PUB (minus the abs) + 200 walking lunges. I’m definitely feelin’ it as my hams were already a little sore from y’day…I would try to make that tat as small as possible *LOL*…I really wouldn’t want to have it done until I can get closer to my goal weight and lose my belly!

Wendy :: glad to hear the shirt didn’t bother your healing tat…thanks for the info about designs…that’s good to know. I’ll start talking to folks around here about “good” parlors.

Diana :: yes, I am usually up early, even when I’m off…eventually, I can get myself to sleep in a little longer, but typically, not past 7:30 or 8. That’s “late” for me…Good for you sleeping in. Enjoy your workout.
 
RE: P90X Grads & Nancy ---> 4th of July calories don't ...

Cathy: Ooh, this is so exciting! I hope you get info on a good tattoo shop near you. I am already envisioning "add-ons" to my new tat. I had always thought about adding on to one of the other 2 instead of getting an entirely different one and could never really come with/find a good idea. Well, this tat is barely 48 hours old and I've already got a few ideas for it!:eek: I don't know if/when I would put these ideas "to skin" but I'm definatley in "consideration" mode right now!}(
 
RE: P90X Grads & Nancy ---> 4th of July calories don't ...

I can finally report that my workout is done. I did S&H chest & triceps and lowmax. I didn't feel like doing cardio but by the 3rd step routine I was glad to be working out.

Wendy-I checked out the skinU site and found a tat for my lower back. It's not exactly how I want it, but I'm sure the tattoo artist could make the minor adjustment to my liking.

Happy 4th everyone,

Diana
 
RE: P90X Grads & Nancy ---> 4th of July calories don't ...

Hi girls

I too am glad to report that X A&S is over! Ug, I'm gettin so tired of the X! LOL! I want to finish my schedule for this week and then I need to make a new w/o schedule. I'll be phasing out the X for the next rotation.....well....maybe not entirely. :)

This week is sooooo messed up. I'm confused! Do I work tomorrow or not?? LOL - actually I haven't decided yet. It's either gonna be tomorrow or Friday. I'll have to see if I can drag me dead butt out of bed in the morning. Unfortunately I haven't been blessed with lots of energy this week. Seems like I have been draggin since Monday. I think it's b/c my eats have not been the best.:(

Cathy - I'm trying to read The Breathtaker by Alice Blanchard. I found it in the library and I liked the looks of the cover so I picked it up. I know, such a scientific technique to picking out a book to read. lol It has a tornado on the cover and I love them so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's about a murderer who kills people who are in the path of tornadoes and tries to cover his murder with the tornado destruction. I'm only about 50 pgs. into it b/c I haven't been able to find the time to read, but I like it so far.
I'll bet your hamstrings will be screaming at you tomorrow! That sounds like a lot of walking lunges. OUCH}(

Diana - You just couldn't resist your new lowmax w/o could ya? I like that one too. Wounds like you had a great w/o.

Wendy - I also turn to the net when DH naps.:) Are you gonna take Joey to go see fireworks?

Well, I think I'm off to see fireworks. Cam wants to go so I guess we're off. DH and I would rather just stay home and unwind but it's not gonna happen.:7 Ah well..........

Good night ladies

Hey Everybody!!!

I came home today to attend a family bbq for the 4th. The beach is only about an hour and a half away so we came up. I'm glad we did. Had a good time and ate great food.

We decided against bringing down a laptop to the beach. It gives us more quality time and more time to read the books we always talk about reading. It wound up being a good idea actually but I miss my forums!!!!!

We have kept up on our working out and brought the weights with us. Up until today my eating has been decent too. Today really hurt though but, hey, 4th of July calories don't count, right??

Okay, have a great week. We'll be back on the 13th and I'll catch up then. Enjoy your workouts!!!!!!!

Nancy
