Good Morning,

Heeeeeeeeere we go another week begins:)

I am about to head upstairs to do all body attack. I am a little scared because i hear it is tuff stuff and i haven't even had a chance to preview.

Have a great day to all!:)
 
Hi Friends

We just spent a week at the beach on Kiawah Island, SC as a family, our exchange student included. I have not been on this site in a while and hope all of the Cheetahs are healthy these days.

Running in the humid air of South Carolina was fine. I used last week as a recovery week and did a 6 mile and two 5 mile slow runs. On the other days I walked with DH. (We had one 2 hour walk that was on the beach early morning)

Excuse me for not knowing the current events of Cheetahville, I hope to get on periodically to catch up.

Today is an 8 mile run and some abs and perhaps one upper body part. I am keeping the UB weights at endurance / maintenance for the summer. When the new DVD's are released and golf season is over, I'm sure I'll jump into them.

If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
 
Judy- sounds like you had some great runs!!

just came back to report i did 60 mins out of the 75 mins workout for ABA and loved it! it will be a great workout to do while training for my triathlon. since it is mostly functional fitness, on the lines of DM. i modified the parts where she threw the step bench up :eek: because i don't have that type of step and mine would have been too heavy, so i used my stability ball. this is my first workout from sharon twombly and she is very likeable:)

forgot to mention earlier tonight is my second muy thai class!!

off to the showers....

btw- decided to push back my HM until dec. so i can focus on the tri and then the HM.
 
Good morning, Sunny, Judy, & everyone else! :D

It's a rainy one here today...Have a chiro appt. and some errands to run in the morning. Later will do some yoga.

It's been quiet around here, so I thought maybe we could have a little bit of fun this Monday morning...Take your pick, please (& feel free to add your own).

run with or without music?
treadmill or elliptical?
pancakes or french toast?
tropical vacation or big city?
shop online or shop in the mall?
Target or Walmart?
Tony or Joey? :9 }(

Have a great Monday!

Good morning cheetahs

Sunny...thanks, yes it does feel like I have been married forever! Looks like you enjoyed ABA. Have fun with your 2nd thai class.

Cathy...thank you for the nice comment on my pic...:)...Glad you got the GetSmile program, now whenever you see a smiley you want, like in a post here or almost anywhere online, you can copy it into the GetSmile program! Enjoy yoga later, here are my answers:

run with or without music? without
treadmill or elliptical? elliptical
pancakes or french toast? yuk, neither!
tropical vacation or big city? tropical vacation
shop online or shop in the mall? online
Target or Walmart? Target
Tony or Joey? Tony...:)

Judy...sounds like you had a great vacation. Enjoy your run and upper body workout.

Jackie...Congrats on the new PR!!!! Deep tissue massages are my favorites. Sounds like a good deal for the monthly massage.

Jess...good job with GS C&T yesterday. Seems like the X has made you quite strong.

Susan..I missed your post yesterday...and, yes, it does get easier. But there will always just be certain things that will bring your Mom to your thoughts. When my Dad died someone explained it to me like waves of grief. Sometimes they just hit you out of the blue...I have always thought this was normal...Glad you can get in some workouts.

I am doing P90X CS&T and then a 5 mile run.

Have a great day...:)
 
Fun questions!

run with or without music? Without, no ipod for me!
treadmill or elliptical? Treadmill
pancakes or french toast? Pancakes
tropical vacation or big city? Tropical vacation
shop online or shop in the mall? In the mall alone, if I have to take my kiddos with me then I'd rather shop online!
Target or Walmart? I love Target, but spend too much money there. I am typically a Super Wal*Mart shopper!
Tony or Joey? Tony as in P90X Tony? I don't know who Joey is other than you guys talking about him! I guess I'll go w/ Tony then!

I'm doing GS BSB today & then later tonight a bike ride w/ Erin. We don't usually ride in the evenings so it will be fun. Since we've had to cancel the last 2 rides I'm itching to get back in the saddle!

Have a good one, Cheetahs!
 
Good Morning Ladies.

I figure I'll get the important stuff out of the way first so here we go. :7

>run with music or my grace on the TM, w/o if outdoors!
>treadmill baby!
>pancakes
>tropical vacation for sure although I do want a weekend in NYC for my next B'day from DH.
>shop online...I'm addicted! Unless it's clothes. I need to do that in person.
>Target
>Tony or Joey?...OMG Cathy you are soooo mean making us choose! I'll have to think about that one! :p:7

Carole: Jeff has running 3 days per week then a choice of walking or Xtraining on the other 3 days...Yes, my plan is to run/walk the half this first time. After that...we'll see what happens!}( Nice fish! You look like a pro holding it too! No problem. :7 So tell me...how did you manage to choose between :*Tony and Joey:* ?

Cathy: I am not brave enough to go into the musclehead section of the gym alone! :eek: So when are you going to try B&G in it's entirety?}( Congrats on the inches lost girl! You are disappearing before our eyes!;)

Marcia: So did you ever go on that hike y'day? Keep up the good work with WW!

Sunny: Glad you enjoyed ABA so much! Make sure you review PIT for us once you do it! So you are delaying your half? I don't blame you. You need time to train for each event separately! Now I know you will kill 'em in the tri since the half will not be on your mind. :) I only see one problem with this plan...you are leaving ME to do my Half FIRST!!! YIKES!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: LOL

Susan: Glad to see you. Glad you seem to be doing well. You are right about your mom. The tough times will come and go but it WILL get easier. HUGS!

Jackie: Congrats on your new race PR! You're da bomb!}( Thanks re the tat!:)

Jess: You are smart to listen to your body. Sorry your bike ride had to be cancelled but I know you'll make up for it this week with some killer workouts!

Judy: Nice to see you! Sounds like a nice vacation you had at the beach. I am headed to Myrtle Beach, SC on thursday! I can't wait!!!:7 Unfortunately that means that I have to get busy washing clothes and packing and I HATE PACKING!!!!!x(

I ended up not having time for Shoulders and Arms/ARX y'day so I did my own heavy shoulders and arms circuit but had to nixx abs. Today I will do Legs and Back and Arx. Tonight I am supposed to meet my friend in the park for a run but it's supposed to rain all day so I'll probably end up at the gym.

BBL~:)
 
Wendy

So tell me...how did you manage to choose
>between :*Tony and Joey:* ?
>
I thought someone might ask this...:)...Joey is great eye candy but Tony works all of your body hard...:)...in fact have fun with Tony today! Hope the rain holds out and you can run in the park.

Thanks re my fishing pic...

carole- i did really enjoy the workout this morning. have fun with tony and your run! i am with you on your pick of tony over joey for the same reasons.
 
Good morning Cheetahs !

Here are some pics of my race Sunday! I'm behind the guy in the light blue shorts in the first pic. DBF took these. My eyes look all puffy because I didn't get to bed early enough and I was awake at 3:30 that morning. I came in #5 in my age group. But, that didn't matter. I had fun trying to see how fast I could run and I wanted to get it over. ;)

Sunny - All Body Attack is a toughie. I've only done the weight premix. I haven't tackled the whole thing yet. I haven't seen where she throws the step up. Interesting! Enjoy your class tonight.

Judy - Sounds like you and the family had a nice relaxing vacation. Hope your run was great!

Cathy - Enjoy your yoga. Please share some of the rain. I like fun.

run with or without music? Music on long runs.
treadmill or elliptical? Like them both but, I like treadmill better
pancakes or french toast? Toughie here. Depends on what's in them. French toast
tropical vacation or big city? Tropical anytime
shop online or shop in the mall? To avoid the crowds-on line
Target or Walmart? Target - find something at Wal-Mart once and you might not find it again.
Tony or Joey? Tony - I just like his goofiness. He ain't hard to look at either.

Carole - Good to know you like the deep tissue massage. Can't wait to give one a try. I usually get the Swedish. Enjoy your run!

Wendy - Hope you get to run outside. Cathy is mean for making us choose between Tony and Joey. :) My dd was in Myrtle Beach in May. She had a blast. I hate the unpacking worse than the packing for trips.

This morning's workout was Gilad's Cuts & Curves and GBG with Tony. Now my legs, butt, back, shoulders - darn I guess everything is sore.

Enjoy your day ladies!

Jackie
 
HI again :)

Susan- I am sorry about your bouts of sadness and grief. I'm having a bit of it too. My Mom passed on 19 years ago, but her favorite SIL ( my Godmother) passed away while we were away 4 days ago. It brings up all sorts of memories doesn't it? But remembering is therapeutic IMO.

Wendy- The Galloway method sounds sensible. I have been inserting short walks into my runs ( to keep my HR at aerobic threshold) and walking on my cross training days. The biggest difference is that I am hardly ever sore in my legs any more after a run. I wish you the best in training!

Cathy- my answers are not so one way or the other:
*I use and IPOD sometimes.

*We have both an elliptical and a TM and use both, but in summer we try to get outside as much as possible.

*I don't eat many pancakes or French toast but would pick pancakes.

*I'll take any vacation! We are on a beach at least once or twice per year. But we really enjoyed or trips into Charleston last week and have had some interesting urban trips.

* Shopping? depends on too many variables to be exclusively local or online
* Target
* I am unfamiliar with Tony and Joey

Our workout room is almost finished we still need to get the floor in and TV and a few sconces.


'Hi' to all who visit today!

If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.Susan..I missed your post yesterday...
 
Good morning ladies,
I am feeling good this morning and really enjoyed HSC yesterday. I had to modify some of the step due to the ITB issue, but it was a good workout:)

Thanks all you cheetahs for the kind words about grieveing over my mom. I am feeling much better today and am going to focus on my girls today and giving them lots of mommy time. I think we will go on a picnic.

Run with music, definitley!
elliptical
french toast with strawberries
tropical vacation
onling shopping
target target target all the way!
Joey

Jackie, you look great in those pics.

I am taking a rest day today and will just stretch and foam roll.

Have a great day ladies!

Susan
 
WOW. Busy busy bee for me. I read the last few days' posts to catch up. Sorry, but no personals yet again for me.

Yesterday was spent in the back yard, putting together a new swing/play set for the kids. The guy that I'm SORT OF seeing gave it to us (no strings attached, I made sure, lol). It took 4 hours to piece it together, but it's fantastic and is the newest attraction in the neighborhood! LOL

This morning's workout was all of BM2. LOVE THIS WORKOUT! Started off a good week for me.

Today, it's rainy, and I have a house full of 9 boys! LOL But it's so easy to get projects done when the house is full of kids because they keep each other busy! So, I moved some furniture around the entire house so that I can 1)get the PC in the living room and 2)start to re-decorate the extra room. Love house projects too!

Sorry to hit and run again.

Gayle
 
jackie- you are too cute!!! now i wish i would have taken pics at the last race. you've gotta check out the part where she throws up the step, it's different to say the least...;o)

gayle-9 boys, ouch...lol. have fun!!

cathy- i forgot an answer- TARGET baby!!

susan- i am so glad you are able to post a little more often. you were missed!

just got in another new workout, yoga for athletes by kimberly fowler. i will let you know once i give it a whirl:)
 
Hey cheetahs~

My adjustment felt so good this morning, I decided to put off my errands for another day. Came home, napped (for a couple of hours!--the kind where you try to wake up but can't--anyone ever have that happen?), and woke up with a migraine. Boo. Not feelin’ *great,* but it’s under control. Sittin’ here with my Saltines and Gatorade…

Carole :: how’s your mouth feeling today? Good to know about the smileys. I have the basics but am still learning how to work it.

Wendy :: I don’t do B&G as produced very much anymore – I’ve taken a break from the Leg Blast, too – just for variety. It’s my favorite lower body w/out, for sure, but I’ve been needing to mix it up lately. Those were the two I just kept going for over and over. It would be interesting to try the whole thing before a run as I live in a fairly hilly area - no way to avoid them. So, I probably would not be able to move for a week. *lol* How was your GTG with the Catheite yesterday?

Jackie :: I know I have said this last time you posted a pic, but you look absolutely awesome in your pics. I would look at these pics and guess you are in your 20s. Seriously. Would never in a million years guess you have grown children. Hats off to you!!!

Hi Marcia (I’m emailing you in a few, partner!), Jess, Sunny, Judy, Susan, Gayle, and anyone else dropping in.

Oh, and the answers to my own questions:
run with or without music? with
treadmill or elliptical? dreadmill if I can’t be outside and there’s no other choice (don’t have an elliptical)
pancakes or french toast? I like both but I’d choose pancakes
tropical vacation or big city? I enjoy both – but for right this moment, I wouldn’t mind getting lost on a beach somewhere
shop online or shop in the mall? online as much as possible
Target or Walmart? Target—I never cared for Walmart
Tony or Joey? Joey’s a hottie, but I’d go with Tony for the same reasons others said. He’s got looks and he’s a total goofball.

Great—vision’s blurring again. I better post and get outta here.
 
OH! That's right! Forgot to answer the questions!

run with or without music? usually WITH
treadmill or elliptical? Treadmill
pancakes or french toast? French Toast
tropical vacation or big city? Tropical, because I've never been
shop online or shop in the mall? toughie.....mall (after price comparing online, lol)
Target or Walmart? WalMart
Tony or Joey? JOEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gayle
 
Hiya cheetahbabes!!! Posting late today. We were having x( x( x(
computer issues and DH was on it all morning trying to fix it.
I got in my long run this morning. 13 miles around my favorite lakeside trail. The lake has been pretty depleted lately with our drought but the monsoon rains have arrived now so things are starting to green up and look a little better:)

Wendy- I really like your training plan!! It sounds very sensible and quite doable since your goal is to walk/run. The Arts & Crafts fair is a staple here and we go for DH, not me!! He is an unusual guy!! This one was too pricey though. I hope the rain doesn't spoil your run today.

Susan- Great to hear from you!!! You're bound to have those days when feelings of missing your mom get a little overwhelming. Being with your kids and a picnic sounds perfect for you today! Glad you could get in HSC without any problem and that you're getting in those foam roller sessions!

Carole- I LOVE that fish pic!!!! How did your run go today being so soon after your surgery?

Jackie- WTG!!!!! A new PR :7 :7 :7 You are consistently improving each and every time. Obviously you're training very smart. Love the pics, especially the one at the start line... you look so cute!
(determined too)

Sunny- I just knew you'd like AllBody Attack!!! It definitely is a functional fitness kind of workout. I like Sharon's style also.
Yesterday instead of a second workout on the cycle I followed up
DM with AllBodyAttack..... hoooooboy I was a sweaty wobbly mess:eek:
It's too bad you don't have the "Step". It's a very innovative part of the workout and quite a challenge!!!

Judy- Sounds like you're having a great time in SC! I'm hoping to talk my DH into a Carolinas vacation next year. I'd like to look at potential retirement places. Getting in some really good runs too! I've also been inserting more walking breaks into my runs lately and I've found that my overall paces have actually improved.

Gayle- Wow, busy day for you with BM2 and your home improvement projects. You just never stop!!!!:eek: :eek:

That 13 miler did me in for now but if I recover later I may do some cycling.

ShellyC
 
Hey Cathy! I didn't forget you!! I thought I'd reply separately to your fun questions. Who is your favorite yoga instructor BTW?

Run w/ music while training, rarely when I race.

I have and use both the TM and EXT. Love em both.

PANCAKES!!!! I have a terrible weakness for them actually.

Who in their right mind would prefer a big city over a tropical vacay?

Prefer shopping on line definitely. Not much of a mall critter I'm afraid.

Love Target for clothes, everything else.... Wallyworld.

Joey is cuter, Tony is tougher.:p

ShellyC
 
Good Afternoon Ladies!

No time for personals at the moment as it's about time to get dinner goin' but I just wanted to post my work out for the day.

Bein' the little rebel that I am ;) I opted for B&G Floorwork and Abs premix (the one premix on that dvd I had never done before!) and I stuck 6 sets of pull ups and 2 sets of calf raises in it.
My run for tonight is cancelled...it's been rainin' like crazy here all day! It's insane! We are rescheduled for tomorrow night. If it falls through again for any reason then I am definately hittin' the gym instead!}(

Hope all is well and I'll be back in a couple hours with personals.

Cheers!:D
