Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing fine. I'm up early today so figured I would get us started. Last night's workout was PS CST and CC #3 on the spinning bike. I got up early to do PS Legs this morning but was too tired. :) I'll do it and PS BBA tomorrow since I have more time to work out on the weekend. Have a great day everyone. :+
 
Good morning all!

I didn't have a chance to check in yesterday. I kept going and going and finally crashed last night before I knew what hit me. Hope all is well with everyone, I'll read yesterdays thread a little later to catch up.

I have to teach cardio/sculpt this morning, then as soon as I get back my DH and I are going to go take a 5 mile walk to enjoy the sunshine!! ( Finally!)

The rest of the day is go, go, go! I need a new cell phone as mine has finally had it. I can't even push the silly buttons anymore. It's pretty funny, trying to hang up after a call consists of me basically pounding the phone on something and yelling at it. So, time to bite the bullet. I like my phone because I have a cute little pink cover for it and it lights up when it rings ( you know, the important features!)Believe it or not, it also dances ( no joke, it's the coolest thing... you stand it up and when it rings it dances on a flat surface) Anyway, I am having phone separation anxiety...

So, as for my PB addiction, well, as I sit here eating my second spoonful of it in between typing, I can say that the week has been better, but not totally controlled! It's funny because I can stare any other food in the face and not care about having it, but for some reason PB gets me! I think it's because I know it can be healthy, especially the natural which is what I eat, so my brain is convinced that a "little" extra won't kill me!

I hope everyone enjoys the day! I'll check in later for personals...
 
Good MorningRTers!

Today was KPC and WHEW!! is was a sweaty one but FUN!
Vicki--I had a 1/2 T. of pb in my Wheatena this morning..yum!

Have a great day!
Gin:)
 
Goodmorning RT's!

I had planned to break out my first cardio coach last night at the gym, but I ended up doing a class instead. It was called Boot Camp. It definitely worked me although in the back of my head I kept thinking it wasn't as hard as Cathe's bootcamp. It was hard enough though and boy am I feeling it today! It was the first time I had ever done a "live" class and I liked being able to get form pointers from the instructor. All classes at the gym are included in my membership, so I may start making myself go to more of them. I had planned to go to Yoga this week, but got there only to find out it was cancelled until next week. :(

I wish I could say my eating last night was good, but it was disasterious. Ribs, fries, 2 rolls. What was I thinking!!! Here is my plan for today and I am going to stick to it if it kills me!!!

B - banana & yogurt
S - Cottage Cheese/Strawberries
L - tuna & wheat crackers
S - grapefruit
D - salad w/ salmon crumbled on top

As far as exercise, today is my rest day! Not sure what I am going to do tomorrow yet. Probably an Imax and a leg workout.

I'll be back for personals. :)
 
Morning!

Today is Tracey's Step Sweatfest....my "backside" is feeling the BG workout from yestrday:eek:

Have a good day everyone!

Michelle:)
 
Good morning all!!!

I am a little sore this morning from yesterday's GS Legs, but am hoping to make it through KPC today withour crying!!!

I have no school or work today...just a ton of homework and housework...but that's ok, I'd rather go grocery shopping than go to microeconomics!!!

Tess - enjoy your day of rest!

Vicki - LOL about your phone separation anxiety! My DH just got a new phone yesterday...it looks like he's talking into a calculator!

Gin - I'm with you on KPC today!!!

Liann - I had fries last night too...but I had brccoli too, so that makes it OK...right???
}(
Michelle - enjoy your workout!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!
Josie
 
Good morning roadtrip attendees:7 :7 Had a busy work stretch and couldn't post yesterday:( I'll be heading south to Phoenix later today and spending the night there. In the morning I'll be competing in the Run for the Cheetah 5k, it benefits the foundation for the preservation of the cheetah. Since I'm a regular at the cheetah (runners) check in I just HAD to run in this one!

Tess- My PS workouts have been collecting dust for a while and you reminded me of them. I'd like to concentrate more on pure strength type workouts... I think I'll be dusting them off:)

Vicki- Your 5 mile walk sounds so nice! Okay, cellphones I know can do lots of things now but dance???? Sorry you're enduring another attack of that vicious peanut butter!!! It just won't leave you alone will it?;-)

Gin- I did KPC last night... fun fun fun!! Good for tension release also.

Liann- I haven't done a "live" class in I don't know how long!
It'll feel very strange to me at the RT! Have a good rest day!

Michelle- I gather from your screen name that your DH is a cop. Mine is retired now but was in law enforcement for years. How do you feel about it? It can be quite stressful. Hope your buns are recovering from the B&G assault ;-)

Josie- I did GS Legs a couple of days ago (hadn't done it for a while) and have the DOMS to prove it! Oh, my poor hammies!! Hopefully they'll be all gone before I race tomorrow am.
"Microeconomics"? I get a headache just reading that!!!

Time to get moving. Today will be PUB, then packing for my trip!
Have a good one!

ShellyC
 
Shelly- My husband is at 18 years of service, not including military, and counting down the years to retirement:D
There have been the good days along with the bad...but, I try to be very supportive, and let him vent when needed. I know there are some PW that don't like to hear all the stories(car chases,running after bad guys, and such) that go on at work...I am the opposite, I love to hear them all, along with all the office gossip, and political stuff of course;-)

Good luck on your run :)

Michelle
 
Just got done with the walk... what a glorious day. I'm off to the mall for the new phone... I'm determined to try and get a cute pink one ( I am such a girly girl!)

ShellyC and Michelle... Just wanted to chime in to say that I am also married to a cop ( actually a Sergeant with the NYPD) and he is retiring after 23 years in less than two weeks! He just accepted a job at West Point Military Academy( yup, security) and that should keep us going along with his pension. It's been a long 23 years, and he has had quite a career. ( he actually did get shot in 1994... he had the dubious honor of being the first cop shot in NYC that year! Thank goodness he recovered quickly) Maybe we can chat more at the RT about life as a "Copwife"

Gin... PB on Wheatina, huh? OOOH, sounds yummy!

Liann... glad that you liked the class at the gym. They can be fun, and I'm glad the instructor gave out pointers. At some gym classes they don't pay attention and people could use bad form and not know any better, so again, good to hear!

Josie... Um, yeah, grocery shopping or microeconomics?? Tough choice there! LOL!

Oh, ShellyC... good luck with your 5K! Sounds great! Oh, and yes, my cell phone really does dance. It is a great party trick!! I'll miss it!
 
I haven't posted in almost a week. I have been very busy. I did Step Blast & Weight Circuits (81 minutes) last night. I just love that one. I can't give that one up! Tonight I will be doing B&G's and Scrambled Eggs.

Since the weather is so nice here, we will be going to our cottage tonight after I work out. We will be putting our docks in , so that next weekend we can put our boats and our sea doos in the water. I can hardly believe there is only 5 weeks left until Memorial Weekend.

I hope life is treating everyone well. I am definitely looking forward to the RT. It will be so much fun to sweat with everyone.

Cheryl
 
Thanks Michelle~ You sound like the quintessential perfect copwife indeed! Alot of cop's marriages don't last long but you've apparently had a successful union:) My DH and I will be celebrating 23 yrs together next year. My real name is Michele although I go by Shelly so we have alot in common:) Look forward to meetin you!

Have a good one

ShellyC
 
Vicki- My DH is also a Vietnam veteran (wounded there) and with that and all the stresses that go with being a cop it just all caught up with him and he had to retire due to PTSD a few years ago. It is scary how much we have in common! Have fun shopping for your cute pink girly phone:*

ShellyC
 
Hi RoadTrippers :) How is everyone?

Today is going well, eating has been clean, which is always a good thing... :) Here is my meal plan for today;

B - Protein Pancakes w/ S/F Syrup ( 1/2 Oats, 1/2 Cottage Cheese, & 3 Egg Whites - I also throw in a dash of cinnamon )
S- Eas Lo-Carb Bar - Chocolate PB ( I really need to stop w/ these bars, this one has 7g of fat )
L - Turkey Sandwich on W/W Bread w/ lettuce & tomato
S - Cottage Cheese w/ Strawberries
D - Chicken Breast, brussel sprouts, & brown rice
Lots & Lots of Water - I try to drink a Gallon a day

Imax 3 on the agenda for today. Probably just do the 1st (5) intervals, or maybe Blasts Only. Since I'm following HIIT...
Waiting patiently for my son's CT results to be faxed in to the doctor's office.

So, what's planned for everyone's weekend?

Take Care - BBL for personals,


"Today is a Gift, Have Fun"

Tess - At lease you got up early to workout! It's the thought that counts right? Have fun doing all that tomorrow! Phew!

Vicki - LOL at your phone situation. Hope you are able to find another one that you can grow attached to. Maybe you can find one that does the polka or something? The instructor at the class was very nice and did a good job at pointing out form errors to people without making it sound like she was scolding them. She did a good job of keeping track of everyone. We had a small class though. I can imagine it would be hard to give much personal attention in a larger class setting.

Gin - The "sweaty" workouts are the best!

Michelle - I am going to do BG this weekend. I definitely need some burn in the backside!

Josie - Broccoli definitely cancels the fries! Just like the "clean" salmon I ate later cancelled out the ribs and fries I'd had earlier. ;)

ShellyC - That is very cool about the Cheetah 5K run! I had never done a live class so I thought it would be a good idea to get one in before the Road Trip. I'm so used to being able to "pause" the workout when I get too winded! With the live workout, I was forced to push through it. It was a good change although I would never stop doing the home work outs in favor of all live.

Cheryl - The "cottage" and docks sound wonderful! You are making me look forward to my summer vacation even more. DH and I always go to his family's cabin on Priest Lake in Upper Idaho. They have a private beach with a dock and the water is crystal clear (and cold). Now I'm daydreaming about laying on the beach looking up at the Canadian Mtns....

Jennifer - Glad to hear that someone has managed to eat clean (definitely not me). ;) My weekend plans include airing out the house (it is finally going to be warm enough to open the windows) and doing some spring cleaning. I may even pull out the tractor and mow a few acres. DH will be working on his car. For the most part it will be a laid back weekend. :)

Kim - Hope that isn't all you are going to eat today. :) I wouldn't make it through weights with grapes and Kashi as my fuel! ;)
 
If I were the Queen of the World, there would be about 26 hours in a day. I just don't have enough time to read everyone's post today and I apologize. I did manage to get PLB done today. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up over the weekend.
 
Todays workout was Low Impact Step! Instead of the 45 min. bike ride! I didn't had the energy to do anything else today!

Yesterday evening my 18 year old son had a car accident. He is o.k., but his car isn't. I am really glad he is o.k.!!:)

Have a great evening!
