Peeps Daily Check in Thurs Jan 8

[Boilergal]

First of all, my husband would probably be thrilled if we had Porn Iced Tea in the house....HA!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ate the Kashi Pumpkin Pie bar. The topping tastes just like pumpkin pie, the bottom part is very chewy. I like it! They also have them in raspberry-chocolate and chocolate-coconut.

Oh! I just remembered we have a portable DVD player under the bed (another electronics purchase, opened, but I freaked out at the instructions and shoved it back under the bed) so to be fiscal (Ellie? U proud?) I'm going to use that in Houdini's room as my alternate workout space. It takes two days to charge (I do remember that from the instructions) so I should be able to workout Saturday....I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!! I'm getting crabby without my workouts. (Athough I should be able to get one in Friday night after Houdini goes to bed)

We are making progress in one way--only three escape attempts and no crying.

Off to run errands at the grocery store during lunch break. Seriously, y'all, I do work during the day even if it doesn't seem like it....

Peeps

Peeps,peeps,peeps

I am one busy girl today but I wanted to see how everyone is doing. I can't possibly keep up with all the personals but here's my scoop.

I am off to the grocery store because we may get snow on saturday(PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE) just one nice snow for the boys to play in. But if I don't go now all the crazy people buying 12 loaves of bread and 3 gallons of milk will have cleared the shelves before I get there. Trust me, NJ people freak out about snow (an inch) and we get snow every year!!! And I find it very hard to believe that anyone would starve to death in the 3 hours it will take for snow to melt. Maybe it's just me!!!!

I'll BBL

Hey, Ellie. Pennsylvania people freak out at the forecast also! It's hysterical to me! I, too, want an awesome snow storm. I'm sick of all the ice!!! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that YOUR storm is also MY storm!

And where are these 'tips' somebody mentioned??? Am I missing something? I could use tips!

JJ-1RM testing. I'm finishing up my testing tomorrow. WHat I did was alternate body parts over a few days, last week. Then THIS week, as I'm finishing up, I'm going back and doing one or two of the exercises that I already tested and am finding I can lift HEAVIER. Now, keep in mind that the FIRST time I tested, I was able to do, say, 12-14 reps. So, knowing my goal was to max out at 8-10, I chose a heavier weight the second time and really tried to mas out in that range. Did that help you at all? Probably not. (lol, sorry) Are you giving your body enough rest??? Maybe you're overworkingcertain parts and that's why you're lifting less the second time??? I'm not sure.

ANd who suggested I hook up the Wii to my wireless network??? GENIUS! I'll have to get my BF to do that for me!!! He's such a gadget geek!

Warning - you will see a man's butt so you might not want to open in front of kids or at work.

OH, I guess I should read these posts more carefully! I thought I was in the WRONG forum for a minute! Porn tea and Tips! I was already sizing up the new cup size!

sorry, moment of temporary insanity!

Thanks for posting your experience with the 1 rep max testing. I also alternated body parts but was still hitting a wall after about 5 rounds. I think I'll go back next week and retest a few. I hope to finish all the upper body ones tomorrow. There sure are a lot of shoulder ones

It wasn't too complicated hooking up the Wii to the wireless network. We have played Mario Kart against people from Japan, Australia, Mexico, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain....very fun!

Hi everyone! I had the best workout to PP this morning...I seriously love that workout, I think it is the one I love the most...probably because it is one of the first ones I got, but it is a great amount of time and I feel it's very balanced.

Karin – glad to hear you’re not affected by the fire!! And 4 chocolate peanut butter candies isn’t so bad…we went to Red Robin tonight and I had a teriyaki chicken burger, 3 onion rings, and half of a milkshake. Yet I absolutely relished each and every bite…it was fabulous so I don’t feel guilty since we hardly ever go there.

JJ – I didn’t order STS either, so I don’t have to deal with the 1RM.

Wendy – I read about Houdini’s nap under the tree the other day…how scary! Thank goodness she was safe in the house and not outside or in trouble. My former neighbor’s daughter once left their house when she was 3 to follow her older sister while the parents were sleeping!

Ellie – snow? What’s that? LOL Yes, I live in Colorado, but we have barely gotten any snow this year! It’s weird, because a few years ago we got a big snowstorm every week for about 4-5 weeks in a row…remember that Karin? And then several years before that, it was almost 70 degrees the first week of January and I was hiking in a t-shirt and no jacket! Craziness!

Well, I'm off to get some chores done before it's time to read to DD at bedtime. Have a great night and hi to all the other peeps! I can't believe tomorrow is Friday! This week FLEW.
