PYGFO your cares away - Tues 8/21

[buffettgirl]

Morning game-facers! I fit a CTX workout in yesterday before taking over babysitting chores. I hope to do the same today.

We had a nice all day/all night rain yesterday. It's still raining, although I think it's supposed to let up this afternoon. It's Little League week here and know there are lots of people hoping for a dry day. They have all kinds of play-offs to get done before the BIG game this weekend.

I called my sister last night and things are moving right along in VT. She's a little worried about Wed, moving day. She thinks my mom could be difficult. I'm glad I'm not there, but wish I was there. Know what I mean? She talked to a realtor who felt we could sell the house before Christmas. It would be a huge relief to not have to worry about the house during a winter in VT.

Have a great day all. I'll try to get back later and see what's happening in all of your lives today.

Good Morning Robin - and all who get up later!

I did a slacker workout yesterday evening. I was too wound up about our upcoming little mini vacation for a weekend on my birthday in mid-September. We found this neat little bed and breakfast in South Haven Michigan back when my hubby used to race motorcycles and I wanna go back.

I'm hoping to do something a little more difficult for tonight's workout. Haven't picked on yet. We'll see how the day goes.

We got some much needed rain here yesterday and through the night.

I hope it dries up for you Robin so the kiddies can play ball, but here I hope it goes for at least another 38 days! Notice I didn't say 40. I'm not interested in building an Ark just yet!!! LOL
Good luck with the moving and your Mom. I do know what you mean about wanting to be there but being glad you're not.

Have a wonderful day ladies!

Hey Girls!

Dianne: I just emailed you back! Yay for your weekend away with DH!

Robin: I'm glad to hear things are moving along with mom and the house. I can understand what you mean about wanting to be there but not. Makes perfect sense!

Lara: Good luck this weekend at your wedding party!! Boy, the fun never ends for you guys huh? Um, and I'm pretty sure those extra pounds you are speaking of are a figment of your imagination. You are just the littlest thing ever!!

Hey.... LIANN... where are you??? Haven't heard from you in a couple of days. Don't be slacking on us over there in "creature land" . LOL!

So, I am getting ready to teach my 9:00 class. I teach another one tonight. I need to do some heavy LB since I was lazy yesterday and wound up taking a rest day. My body must have needed it, because although the entire day my mind kept telling me to do it, my body just wouldn't cooperate. I really struggle with taking rest days. Anyway, although we work LB like crazy in class, I only use 8 pounds max since I'm teaching and I have to be able to talk and all. so, when I get home I'll do GS legs I guess.

I'm just trying to make it to Thursday when my son gets his MRI. I have to admit I am a wreck inside. I'm really scared. It's kind of a tough emotional time anyway as the 10th anniversary of my son's passing approaches in 2 weeks. So, every day is kind of a struggle anyway right now. We have an appointment back at the surgeon on Tuesday to get the results of the MRI, but I plan to call incessently starting Friday to find something out.

Anyway, gotta go get ready. I'll BBL to check in on everyone. BTW, I couldn't be happier that we are all still checking in. Before we know it, hopefully we will be a Road Trip check in again!! ( Lottery Shlottery, I wanna go again!!!!!! }( )

Have a wonderful day girls!

[font face="papyrus" font color=purple size=+2]Good Morning Ladies![/font]

I was looking around my desk for all my "jazzy post" notes, and I think a child took them:-( So, I am relying on memory here

Well, the kids have their meet and greet this week, school starts Monday 8/27. So we have haircuts and a few supplies to get. I am so ready for school to start My oldest DD is a senior this year, her schedule is full untill December, then she goes for 1 period the rest of the year.

Exercise yesterday was chest and cardio(LM step)- Vicki, I did all my push-ups on the ball just like you reccomended I did find that the weight I was using is no longer challenging to me(? when did that happen) Looks like another trip to Dick's is in order
Today is back and cardio(IM2)

[font face="comic sans ms" size=+2 color=red]Lara-[/font] I am sure you will look beautiful Saturday!

[font face="comic sans ms" size=+2 color=slateblue]Robin-[/font] I wish we were getting the rain that you are...all our trees around here are shedding their leaves I can understand perfectly about you not wanting/wanting to be there with your Mom and sister.

[font face="comic sans ms" size=+2 color=green]Dianne-[/font]The weekend getaway sounds nice!

I agree Vicki-"Lottery Shlottery, I wanna go again!!!!!! "}(

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Hi girls! Everyone is very chipper this morning aren't we? I'm still trying to wake up one eyelid at a time. I'm in a grouchy mood this morning...not sure why. Today's workout was a one hour walk with my neighbor. Last night I made a big batch of oatmeal/protein pancakes so I have breakfast for 3 days. I am addicted to those things.

Lara - good luck with the dress on Saturday. I'm sure it will fit fine.

Robin - yes I too can empathize with the wanting to be there but not wanting to thing.

Dianne - that sounds like a fun weekend. I love weekend getaways. My DH and I have our 10 year anniversary coming up in September so we're thinking of doing a little weekend trip too...not sure what yet.

Vicki - Have fun teaching your class. I am still praying that everything is OK with your son. Hopefully the Dr. will get the MRI results right away and give you some info quickly after. ((hugs))

Michelle - Awesome job on going up in weights. You go girl!! I went up yesterday during PUB for a few of the exercises. It felt great although the last few reps (on the heavy set) were HARD.

Gin - I am so sorry that PB triggers headaches for you. What an awful thing to have trigger them. I get headaches from caffeine and aspartame so that rules out diet coke (which I love). Do you get migraines? I get them every so often.

To anyone I missed and all who come later, have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies!

Today was KPC. Now on to Clean Max and Color My Hair Max.

Lara--My son just becoame engaged to his sweet girlfriend. Lots of planning, huh?

Robin--Are the Little League World Series games played near you? Fun! A few years ago one of the teams was from here and I had had some of the boys in my class years ago!

Diane--Hi! Enjoy your workout tonight.

Vicki--You do take a rest day, don't you?}( I am thinking of you and so glad you exercise to help with any stress.((((((HUG))))))

Michelle--School here starts Monday also(my b-day;() and I go back to getting my classroom ready before our pre-school year starts the following week.

Tess--I messed up with your pancake recipe. They were a disaster! My headaches may be like a severe tension type, but I respond to migraine medication. It took me a long time to figure out that PB was the culprit. I ate it nearly everyday and I would have a headache nearly everyday! x( ;(

Hey Gin! I did forget to say the other day... Congratulations on your DS's engagement! What fun planning a wedding. Please keep us in the loop. Oh, and BTW, the Color My Hair Max thing... be sure not to mistakenly color your fingernail in the process, like some of us did ( okay, not some of us... just me!! My pinky still looks like it is slightly grimy two weeks later. Blech!)

Hello everyone!

This morning I did the Kickbox and Strength Circuit + Abs premix from KPC/L&G. Whoa!! That's good one. I'll have to remember that. After that, I set up for tomorrow's workout and had even more doubts about getting through those Firms. It's not that they're too hard, more like having to choke them down. My goal was to do some aerobic base building for the next 3 weeks using easier workouts. But, when I took out the sculpting stick for Maximum Cardio Burn, I laughed. That thing is just so cheapie/rinky-dink it's ridiculous. I put my 15# body bar and some light hand weights out just in case. This should be interesting.........

Robin - I know just what you mean about wanting to be there, yet being glad you're not. Enjoy being with Greyor and try not to worry too much.

Dianne - Have fun on your mini-vacation in South Haven. DH and I spent some time last fall with my aunt and uncle at their house on the UP and it was just wonderful. The summer before that, we spent a week in Milwaukee, on the other side of the lake from South Haven. Those lakes are so refreshing!

Vicki - I also wish we'd had more time to chat on the RT, since I feel like I "know" you from the check-ins. I hope everything goes well with the MRI. I can only imagine the emotions you're feeling right now..... {{{HUGS}}}

Tess - Is your pancake recipe different from Gin's? Can you send me a link to it? I'm always looking for new b'fast foods.

Gin - Congratulations on your DS's engagement. What an exciting time for you! Are you looking forward to grandbabies?

Lara - You are going to be just beautiful on Saturday!!

 

[Tess_ATL]

Mona - here is my pancake recipe (I got this from the firm yayas):

1/2 c. old fashioned oatmeal (non instant kind)
1/2 c. 2% cottage cheese
4 egg whites OR 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites (the conversion doesn't work right for these - way too much liquid)
3 packets of splenda

blend it up and cook on a griddle just like pancakes. You can add blueberries to the batter or I like to use cinnamon.

Hello.

Today was GS CT and IMAX 3. Whew!! It was another hot one today!! Our house temp was 82 degrees last night when we went to bed last night due to problems with our AC. Someone came to fix it, but it didn't kick in until around 7 tonight. Long after my IMAX 3. I don't think I have ever paused a workout that much before!! I had to mop off and drink lots of water to get through that one!! At least the AC is working now. I will only have time to workout if I get up early and get on the TM (I will wake DH up if I start jumping around with Cathe that early).

Robin...Please send the rain our way!! Our grass is so brown right now!! How is the babysitting going?

Dianne...It sounds like you had a good time celebrating your soon-to-be birthday in South Haven. Aren't getaways so fun??

Vicki...Thanks for your well wishes!! Yes, the fun never stops here I want Saturday to be here so I don't have to stress so much, ----BUT, I also realize that the excitement will probably end with the party, so I want it to last forever--HA! I will be thinking of you, your son, and your family. We are here for you if you need us! Please let us know what you find out. BTW, I am with you---I want to go again!!!

Michelle...Thanks for your vote of confidence!! I just love your pimpin' posts! Good luck with all of the back to school shopping!! You don't look like you would have a daughter that was a senior in high school

Tess...Thanks! Yum...your pancakes sound yummy!! I always love it when there are leftovers for breakfast and it is fast and easy!

Gin...Congratulations!!!! It is such an exciting time isn't it?? Yes, it is a ton of planning, but it is worth it! When are they planning on getting married? Please let us know how the planning goes!!

Mona...Thanks so much!! I have never done the Kickbox and strength circuit plus abs premix before. So, it was a good one? I may just have to try that this week (or next-when things slow down).

Tess..Thanks for sharing the pancake recipee. When I have more time, I will go to the store so I can make these.

Okay, I am off to write a few thank you notes....I am WAY behind!! Have a great day tomorrow. I will "see" you late tomorrow!!
