STS first time!

Hi everyone,

Busy day yesterday & today. No time to post. Lots of cooking for company coming over this aft.

Did TTM yesterday but ran out of time for core. Ugh. Been meaning for a while to ask, anyone notice that Jai's shorts in the warmup are a bit longer than the short-shorts she has on during the main workout? I notice it every time.

Be back tonight or tomorrow. Even if I don't reply, I'll definitely read.

Have a nice day! Carolyn, good luck on your yard sale. Jean, safe drive. Missy & Colleen too, be safe with the hurricane effects. Missy, hope you had a good run. Hi Marie!
 
:eek:Good Afternoon. I just finished my 5k Race Walk today. I finished 1st place in women with a time of 36.14. I got an award, $25.00 gift to the local running store, and a pin and of cource a shirt!!!! OMG! It was awesome....I had this girl on my butt the entire time and I just couldn't let her get me. I was winning this thing regardless. I didnt care what happened. "COMPETITION"

hehehehe :)

Time for some food!!!!:eek:
 
Hello. I was so tired...I had to take a nap! I did get a new phone! It is technical. I like it, but I have to learn how to use it!!! :)

I hope you dont get any damage from the storm...keep in touch!!!:D
 
Good Morning! Well, I slept for 2 hours yesterday afternoon. Then Tim and had dinner and made homemade spag sauce. Then went to bed and slept till 8:20 this morning. OMG! I feel rested now! My muscles are sore....but well worth it!

Today, we are having Tim's family over for dinner tonight! We are grilling steaks!

We do have to go get hay today, which means lifting 20 bales of 60pds of hay!!! That will be my arm workout!

Off to cook some breakfast! Starving!!!:D
 
Good morning ladies!

Yesterday was such a busy day. I got up at 5:45 did HC vol 2 then had to be at church at 8 for a 4 hour sacrament forum for my dd first communion. Then we had to go to jersey to visit dh grandmother and help my FIL prepare for the storm. We are in for a direct hit over Atlantic city and we have property in ocean cit nj (which is 15 miles away).

Also my mammogram came back yesterday and they want additional images in one area. so I'm feeling a little anxious and because of the storm I won't be able to get in as quickly as I'd like..

Missy, congrats on the race and the ticker going down!! You are a machine!!

Jean, Betty and Carolyn. I hope you are all safe during the storm. Carolyn, good luck with the yard sale today.

Today we are just going to run some errands to get out of the house some. I have a feeling once the storm hits we won't be getting out for a few days.....
 
Hello all! I hope you are staying safe. We have no choice but to brave the storm and head to Baltimore as my dad is scheduled for his cancer surgery tomorrow. We are praying hard that they don't cancel it. But either way, they won't tell us until tomorrow if they are going to do it or not,

Pulled out MMA Fusion today. It was a little awkward for me -- need to learn those moves! I liked Boxing a lot better.

Hi everyone,
It's cloudy, breezy, and misty thus far. I've been kind of out of the loop news-wise so I don't know what kind of impact we'll be getting from Hurricane Sandy. What weather are you southern east coast ladies experiencing?

Missy, way to go on your 5K! You are on a roll. What an accomplishment to be first! High five! I'll have to agree with Carolyn--I'm so not competitive either, to the point of shrinking away from it.:eek: That being said, if someone were drafting that close to me, I'd try to outrun her too! Nice job!
Awesome on your iPhone 5!:D It's so fun! I have a non-phone version of that, an iPod Touch, and its capabilities are so cool!

Jean, I totally agree with you on the gut. So tough to shrink, so very easy to expand. There's currently a thread asking Cathe if she can do a rotation for diminishing the muffin top.:D She has yet to reply.
Hope your mom is well.

Colleen, you had a crazy day yesterday! And it sounds like you're running around today. Don't worry too much about the mammogram. Chances are, it won't be anything. All ten fingers crossed for you.
Good luck with PT; it can do wonders. I seem to know so many people who need PT for one thing or another.
Good luck with your eye appt tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be cancelled due to the storm.

Carolyn, your yard sale sounds like so much fun! It's way better to stop off at a yard sale and have many, many homes' stuff to browse.
It's so therapeutic to have purged. The money will be a nice bonus.:D

Becky, I'm hoping hard your dad's surgery isn't cancelled due to the storm. Good luck!
I haven't done MMA Fusion in a while myself, but I find the 3 MMA workouts to be fun. Nice job keeping up with the workouts in such a stressful time. Safe travels!

I had DH's family over yesterday. Made baked manicotti, lentil soup, potato salad, roasted carrots, pumpkin bread (TJ's mix), guac. Three of the college kids weren't able to come but my DS did. It was nice to get together after not seeing the inlaws since early summer.

Off to catch up on the XTrain updates!
 
good afternoon/evening! Just wanted to say "it is freaking COLD" today...Not liking this. I am freezing!!!

Be back...we have company here! hehehe :)
 
Okay...I am back. The family has gone home!!

Becky---I have your father in my prayers...Good Luck!

Colleen---Hopefully everything will be okay. I know alot of people that have went back for additional views and everthing be okay. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers too.

Jean---Slowly but surely a few ounces are falling. That is okay with me. My hubby says...OMG, were are you going. You are tiny!!! HEHEHE :D The win was amazing! I remember doing that 5k several years ago thinking I was going to die...hurrying back to the truck before I fell down with horrible back pain. But not yesterday!!! Once it started I went full speed till the end!

Looking forward to the next 5K run... 2 weeks...just love them!!!:cool:

Off to watch tv with my man!!! Good night!
 
Be safe everyone!:eek:

Schools are all cancelled for tomorrow so you know it's serious. Hope we are spared serious damage! Good luck to us all!

Carolyn, looks like you'll get a less powerful version of what will hit us. The Cape might be hit hard!
 
Hey all!


Missy- Way to rock out that 5 k. Proud of you!

Thinking of you all close to the storms. Stay safe!

One handed tying again during feeding.

All is well! B is doing great! He is such a love! Tony went back to work on Sat but has today off so we are looking forward to family time. Hoping to run some errands. We are in serious need of produce. The family has been great with bringing food over but I miss my fruits and veggies. Sick of pasta and carbs ugh!

I'm feeling real good. Pain is pretty much gone :)

He is about done now so back to bed for us for a nap.
 
Good Morning All,

Yesterday I got in about 30 minutes of Cardio Supersets then the family needed some attention. Better than nothing! Today I did STS total body. That felt good! I am feeling it all over.

I agree with the schools. It’s raining already here and it’s coming down pretty good, but they could have gotten a full day, even with a 2 hour early dismissal they could of gotten credit for the day. But in reality I don’t want my daughter out in this stuff anyhow… Schools will be closed tomorrow as well and I’m guessing at least Wednesday and if not Thursday as well. But I probably don’t want my daughter out in this stuff anyhow…

My offices have a mandated work from home policy today until we lose power, once we lose power, then they are considering the offices closed and we are not required to have vacation time.

My eye exam was cancelled and they will call back and reschedule once they can get back in the office.

Carolyn, Sounds like the yard sale was a success. They are always so much work.

Jean, glad you made it home safely. What does your husband do?

Ocean city NJ is already under water and the hurricane hasn’t even hit yet. Here is PA we are going to be 10+ inches of rain.

Marie, So glad you are feeling better and B is doing well!

Becky, I am praying that your father was able to have his surgery today. Saying prayers for you and your family.

Betty, you meal sounded so good yesterday, I hope you had a nice time with DH family.

So some good news is that my knee seems to be feeling better. I have nursed it over the last week and DH went and got me the puzzle mats for my workout room this weekend. I was working out in a carpeted room, but he thought that it would help with my knees. It’s a little hard to get used to because I feel it has some give (we just put it over the carpet), but I’m sure in the long run it will be better for my knees.

Stay safe everyone. BBL
 
Hello ladies!

Marie, it is wonderful you are in less pain, and it seems you and Breckin have a routine. Good girl taking a nap when he does! What delicious comfort to know he's nearby sleeping as you're napping.
I know what you mean about needing fresh produce! If it gets too tough to get out, try having your local supermarket deliver some.

DS and I just came in from walking the neighbor's dog, and we had no problems with the wind or rain. I think we made it home in the nick of time because the wind is sooo very gusty now, and the rain seems so much heavier (but it's not a steady rain, and we don't have anywhere near the precipation Jean describes). It's scary to look out the window when the wind is blowing so hard. I'm afraid of the two very large trees near our house. We're supposed to get the worst of the storm between 3 - 8 pm. I pray everyone is spared heavy damage from wind, rain, power outages!

I did a 58-min KM premix. I 've only done the workout a handful of times, but I like it more and more. It has kickbox (which I've done a lot of lately) and standing leg conditioning with a chair. The full workout is 74 mins. I guess at heart I am a cardio girl. That, and I'm too lazy to pull out all the equipment for strength training. I have to be in the mood. This week I should do a total body conditioning though.

Stay safe, everyone!
 
Hi. Still have power here. Although it just flickered.

Great idea on the crock pot.

Hope you enjoyed your Chinese food

I've been a baking machine today. Baked oatmeal raisin cookies for the hubby and kiddies and I baked gluten fee cookie and blueberry muffins for me. The muffin turned out pretty good but the cookies were yucky.

I also made shrimp with onions, mushroom, bacon and spinach is a tomato sauce for lunch and we has salmon for dinner. We don't have a generator so I was trying to use up food that would go bad quickly.

Hope everyone stays safe. Off to watch Alvin and the chipmunchs with the kids.
 
Good Afternoon ladies! I hope everybody is safe! All of this hurricane talk brings back lots of memories! Just remember family is everything. Items are replaceable! Keep you family safe!

Carolyn---You better get back on the exercise wagon....Every time I take 3 or 4 days of from Cathe even though I am doing cardio still, when I start back...Cathe kicks my butt! And soon we will have Xtrain....We need to be in tip top condition per Cathe! Get your butt to the basement and workout tomorrow! It is manditory!!! :eek:

Cooking dinner...spagetti!

Then to workout, even though my muscles are shredded! Sore does not even explain it!!!

Marie---Give little B a kiss and hug for me!
 
Hi everyone! Doing ok here. Still have power so far. Fingers crossed.

Oh, Colleen, I wish I had thought to bake! Great idea. Instead, all day I've been glued to the tv or my book, and waiting for the other shoe to drop:confused:. What a waste!
Sorry your cookies didn't come out right. Blueberry muffins, yum. Haven't had that in ages!
Are you guys all right? It seems like you're very close to the eye of the storm.

Stay safe, all.
 
We just got a call to say that school's cancelled tomorrow! What a pain. My day was messed up from today. I did absolutely nothing!

The wind has died down considerably but we're getting heavier rain.
