Sept 14 '08 Check In

[Boingo1]

Good Morning everyone!

It's muggy, cool and rainy here today. SOOOOOO glad the weather held out for our party yesterday!! It was a TON of fun, the boys all told me it was the best birthday party ever! (I'll throw up some pictures later).

Today is a NEW day for me. The scale continues to inch up. Well, it's no wonder. It never fails, I can do pretty good at a party (munched on veggies & guacamole dip, had a veggie burger on a light roll, and just 'tastes' of potato/macaroni salad). But then comes the cake, and i"m sunk. I'm a sucker for cake and frosting and ice cream!!

Today I'm going to go back to clean eating AND I'm going to give a Turbo Jam workout a try. My toe/foot is feeling so much better. I was on it ALL day yesterday, with just a small limp. Actually, I kind of pulled my calf a little (from the weird limp?). But all in all , I think I can try TJ, with modifications if necessary....

Of course, today I woke up at 5am with one of my famous headaches. I took 3 advils and a benadryl, and slept "in" until 8am. It's still there a little, and I'm foggy from the benadry. Hopefully a workout will make it all better!

BBL...

G'Morning Chris, Hottie & All who Follow!

Well I'm feeling much, much better and I will resume my workouts on Monday as I still have that godawful headache that has been plaguing me since I've been sick.

My dd seems to have gotten over her cold too and I'm watching her very closely as she is asthmatic.

I feel this crud still in my head but when I woke up this morning my body aches are all but gone - Yippee!

So while I was sick I was thinking or playing with the idea of canceling my STS oreder as its just taking forever and I would like to try out some Kettlebells so I'm telling myself 'Should I or shouldn'tI?"

After this week my body feels so hurtful and I'm wondering if I even want to bother with it all now


Chris so glad your son;s birthday bash went well, I've not been online in a few days so I have loads to catch up on but do I want to scroll back days?
See Ya Chicas!

Guess we did post at the same time, Hottie!
Although I have the right date....
I do know it's the right date, because it's my BABY son's 7th Birthday today!!


So I did it! I did Turbo Jam: Cardio Party 2, and got through it!! I'm so freakin excited! I did some moves lower impact (couldn't 'jump rope' and the turbo part, I did a bit quieter), but I got my HR up there and I got my sweat ON!! WOO HOO!! I'm thinking for the comping week, I can sub TJ's and/or Biking for the cardio on the rotation....

Hottie: I haven't done BM2 in a while. But i do remember the way it feels like it goes on forever, and then it kicks ya with those blasts at the end. GOod for you for going back to do the blasts!!

Vilma: Sorry you've been so sick! You must feel like hell! .. and I'm with ya on the headache. Mine is still there, on one side of my head, behind my eye. Ick Ick Ick!!! I know, STS excitment is dwindling here for me too. I was almost thinking of ordering Chalene's New Lean Extreme Weight workout instead. If there's no word of it this week, I might end up doing that.

let me go see if I can get pictures up!!

Yours truly, jousting and falling!! (I did last longer than I thought I would!):

Hey Chris! Glad to hear the bday party was a hit! What do you suppose made it so much fun for the kids? I'd love to know any secrets. Happy 7th birthday to your son! Too bad we can't get our kids together.

I've also been toying with the Chalean thing -- but you heard it's not coming out until November, right? Probably they're going to come out about the same thing. From what I can tell, I think I would enjoy Chalean's rotation more, just because of that three day split dread I have, but I have a feeling Cathe's will produce better results. I suppose not if I can't keep up with it though!

Hope your headache goes away!!

cheers,

-Beth

Posting at the same time again.... never mind the question about why it was so fun -- it's the jousting ring, I know! You must have to take it down in the winter, right? We are so bad with keeping that kind of stuff nice. It looks like they had a blast -- great pics!!

-Beth

 

[Boingo1]

I guess I don't mind the 3 day split thing, but Chalene's looks funner! She's certain to have better music too!

But you're right, Beth... It was a SUPER price (though they did have our money for 9+ months), and I'd probably kick myself later if I canceled.

Oh, we don't OWN the jousting thing! We rented it!!!

The boys never stopped. They were craZY!!

All in all we had 15 kids and 7 adults...

 

[bitmover]

Ah! Renting --- that makes more sense.... I thought you bought it, obviously.....

Chris: That party looked like alot of fun!! Happy Birthday to your son...

Looks like you ladies posted at the same time this morning!! I just picked one. Hope that is ok..Checking in today with Leaner Legs...I was going to go ahead and do Imax2 for tomorrow and get ahead. But, I had enough.

I am thrilled today. Because, I was in Costco today and they had an Ipod nano 8GB for 142.99. I bought it!! I now have one to use with running..

and it is purple. I love it!! NOw I gotta get it loaded. That is my plan for the rest of the day..

Talk to you later..

 

[Boingo1]

Thanks for peaking at our party!!! It was fun!

Now wish me luck, as I head off to work, 12 hours on my foot...

!!!!!

See you ladies tomorrow...

Hi all checking late again. Hope every one had a good weekend. Boy that party looks great. My boys would love that even the 14 year old.

No work out today. Rest day for me but I should do some type of work out. I gave in to temptation and ate a hershey bar with almonds. Ugg. Oh and I ate some other stuff to but I don't want to list them! I keep saying tomorrow will be good I will stick to core.

The Pat's are winning!!!! Anyone else watch football?

Vilma hope you feel better soon. I was just informed by the school that my son was exposed to Whooping Cough on the 10th. I hope he doesn't get it. So far no symptoms.

Kathy so happy to hear about your Ipod. It is so much fun running with music and just think at some point in time Cathe is coming out with Ipod work outs.

Chris love the pic of you.

Lori

 

[bitmover]

Yes, Kathy, congrats on your ipod -- you will love it!

Lori, I'm sorry to read about your cousin! I hope all goes well with her treatment. Thanks for posting the info.

Is Joanne's daughter's surgery tomorrow, or just sometime this week? I cannot remember exactly, but she's sure been on my mind.
