Hi Girls!!

Checking in with cardio super sets today with the bonus step. Love that workout. Oh I can really feel my core from yesterday.

Sounds like everyone is having a good Saturday.

Marie, happy birthday to Tony!

Today my son had soccer and I had to take my daughter to get a flu shot.

It's really a beautiful day out.
 
Good afternoon! I got up early this morning, went to the 5k---had a blast....came home and there was no power...OMG!!!! So, Tim & I went to the big city for lunch and then went to Sams.....

We are now home and I am tired!!!

Jean---hope you had fun in the corn maze!!!
 
Hey girls....been super busy today.....

Carolyn---the last few I did were walks....the last walk was 40.1 minutes....this was a run today.....33.2 Did pretty good, since I only have been running outside for 2 1/2 weeks. :)

My husband and I have been car shopping today....I am tired! I am going to list my truck for sale so I can get a newer car!!! Not sure when, but we are starting the process..... We have come to the conclussion we dont need 3 trucks....we can sell my little truck and get a sporty car for me!! Yeah!!! Now that I am hot and sexy!!! I need a sexy car!!! Never thought that would come out of my hubby's mouth!!! Will keep you updated on the process...this could take months!!!!

Off to shower...so I can go to bed! I have been on my feet all day!!!:D
 
Good Morning! Well, it's Sunday...my last day off! Lots of work to do today.....

Off to get my Cathe on! hehehe :D
 
Happy Sunday!!

Checking in with high step challenge this morning. Good workout. I have never done it before. Felt good to do some weight work today.

Off to shower and then take the kids out to the park. It going to be a delightful day!! Enjoy.
 
Thank you all for sharing our joy at my Dad's prognosis -- it has really energized him for the battle he still has, and your prayers and good thoughts really help buoy his spirits!

Missy -- yay for a new car! Enjoy the shopping.

mfv3 (sorry -- I don't know your name!) -- thank you for the prayers -- we are praying for you as well and your sweet baby. Hope all is going well for you both.

Checking in today with M1D10, Chest/Shoulders/Biceps. Last week of Meso 1! It's gone by so quickly. Yesterday was CrossFire and YogaRelax. I love love love CF, but not so wild about the yoga. I have lots of yoga DVDs though, so I'm covered there.

Any ideas for active recovery week? I was thinking of yoga, some cardio (maybe with light weight/high reps?), hiking.
 
Finished my walk...went for an hour! It was so nice out. Leaves on the ground and the smell of fall. We have a park nearby with a ton of walking trails. I always take the same one though. Knowing my sense of direction I'd get lost. I just picture myself going into labor and not having a clue where I am...yikes!

Last night I was too tired to make Tony's bday dinner so tonight's the night. He has requested meatloaf, sweet potatoes and peas. I'm not much of a cook but trying to focus more on that. I want Breckin to be proud of his mommy's food :) Googled a recipe and it looks pretty good...not healthy but good haha!

Becky- Nice job on the workout. For my active recovery week I just did pure cardio with a few days of yoga mixed in. I didn't do any weights, but that's just me. I'm sure other people added that in. Thanks for the prayers. Sorry, I should be posting my name at the end but always forget. It's Marie :)

Carolyn- Sounds like you are having a nice, relaxing day with your family. Enjoy it!

Colleen- Have fun with the kids :) Sounds like a great day!

Missy- Which workout did you do today? Good luck with the car shopping. can't wait to hear more.

Jean- Thanks for the bday wishes for Tony. I told him my Cathlete buddies wished him a HBD and he smiled :) Enjoy the Walking Dead. We don't have TV now and just watch shows on the internet. I know Tony will be missing that one. He loved it but will now have to wait til it's comes on on Hulu.
 
Hello again....quick break!

Have you ever been so attached to something, the thought of not having it makes you crazy???? Well....this morning I got up all cheerful did a hour on the elliptical and then ventured outside to detail, wash and wax my truck.....well I have had this truck for along time. I just love it. It is paid for, runs good, and well lets just say it is part of the family!!! I was okay, untill we started taking pictures of it. And then I broke down.....Needless to say we re keeping it. I will just have two vechiles soon. So, we will always have back up. Tim has 2 trucks....why can't I? After alot of tears this is the agreement we came to. We will keep it!!! I am just so attached to it! I can't let it go. I know it sounds crazy to some....but we are nuts!!!

Marie---I am so glad you are starting to cook....there is hope...when my husband and I first got together he cooked everything, now I do!!!

Just finished making tim some brownies, and I just made some potato soup! Yum!!!

Also, it is nice here today....I have on shorts and a tshirt. Lovely weather! :)

Off to finish my chores! Be back!:D
 
Carolyn--It is so nice to hear that I am not the only one. I thought I was a crazy women. Yes I want a newer car...but I love my truck. I bought it with only 20,000 miles on it. So it ws basically brand new. I also purchased it from a little old couple that only drove it back and forth from home to bingo to walmart. So it was well maintained. My husband is a mechanic so he takes good care of it. I was looking at them online and mine looks brand new compared to all the other crap that is 10 yrs old. I am not giving it away. I will keep it!! :) Will keep you posted on what new car I find!!!!

Off to dinner with the inlaws....Oh boy!!! :rolleyes:
 
Meatloaf and sweet potatoes are in the oven. Hope they turn out as planned :)

Missy- Glad to hear you are keeping your truck! I feel ya on that one for sure. I've only had my Jetta for about 5 years and I'm already attached. DH was talking about getting an SUV for me...easier with baby and such....and I kind of got sad thinking about selling my Jetta! I'm so happy you are keeping both.

Carolyn- Ice cream! YUM! Don't worry you won't be alone with that one. Tony loves Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey. I bought a pint for us to split tonight.

Jean- Enjoy your show :)
 
Dinner was a HIT! Tony said it was the best meatloaf he has ever had! Who knows if it's true but how sweet of him to say :)

Have a good evening everyone!

Tomorrow I have an appt at 11:30. Fingers crossed!
 
Becky, that is such wonderful news about your dad! I'm so thrilled for you and your family and wish him the best health and much luck in his treatment. I'll keep him in my thoughts.
On my STS rest weeks, I hit the cardio workouts that I really missed, like KPC, IMAX2, BM2, etc.

Marie, high five on Tony's birthday dinner. You are an amazing Energizer Bunny past your due date! Good going on that walk! Good luck tomorrow!

Carolyn, good luck on your appt tomorrow too! It did cross my mind that you mentioned icy. I thought, wow, NH sure gets it early!:D
Don't worry, there will always be someone doing XTrain with you.
I had triple, make that quadruple, fat yesterday: whipped cream, fried dough pieces, alfredo, clam chowder. :eek:
I lit my fire for the first time today, only to have the sun come out and then notice the temps were 60 outdoors in the shade! The house was freezing though!

ColleenD, sounds like you had a successful shopping trip! I envied your sunny day at first because we had yet more showers today, but then we got a few hours of sun before the day was out. Boy was it cold in the house with the first frost Saturday morning.

Missy, how great you can keep your truck! Congrats on completing the 5k. Way to go!

Jean, hope you're enjoying your show from the comfort of home. Was thinking of you when DS and I watched Dan in Real Life for the umpteenth time. I absolutely love this movie!

Mar, Mer, hope you gals are doing well.
 
Good Morning Girls!!

Checking in with CycleMax Express today, I got up late so only had time for a 45 minute workout. I went 12 miles.

Caryoyn, Good luck at the doctors today. Weekends are always my down fall for eating. I am so good during the week and then the weekend hits and all bets are off. My hubby does not cook, but I love to, it’s just finding the time… You ice cream sounded so good. I miss ice-cream, but I did have amazing gluten free/vegan (dairy free) cupcake this weekend. It was actually from baker in my area (Dia Dolce) who won cupcake wars on the food network. I had gotten one regular and one GF/Vegan and my husband had a bite of mine and he said he couldn’t tell the difference. :D:D

Marie, Good luck at the doctors today too!! I hope you are starting to progress. I also had meat loaf and sweet potatoes last night for dinner, but with broccoli. Glad yours was a hit.

Missy, congrats on the 5K. I would love to do a race some day. That’s so great that you will be keeping your truck and will be getting a new car. How exciting! :cool:

Jean/Betty, any recommendations for a good book? I’m not in to mystery for thriller. I spent some time last night going through iBook to find a new good read, but nothing was calling my attention. I usually like a light read, funny or love stories (like Nicholas Sparks).

Carl did like everything I got from my shopping trip on Friday. I did decide to take back the purse, jeans and one sweater. The purse was a little too small and I didn’t like the fit of the jeans (I didn’t try them on).

I have 500 emails calling from name from being out on Friday. I usually like to catch up on Sunday evening, but that didn’t happen. :(
 
Hi everyone!

Long time no....post? Life has been busy...u know how that goes.

I just finished mesocycle 1 this weekend! I'm looking forward to starting M2. When did you really start noticing changes in your body with STS? After all 3 mesocycles? Just curious. I'm seeing some changes but not as much as I'd like.

I think I'm gonna do some running this week, and work in CrossFire and TTM. Haven't done those in a while.

I haven't had a chance to read back thru all the posts that I've missed, but I hope everyone is doing well!!

Back to work.....
