Good Morning Ladies!

I am watching the news to see what Katrina is doing. I am obviously not in that area but worried sick for these poor people. I also have relatives who live on the gulf coast of FLA and I know Katrina is touching there too. ;(

Today is circuit day. I'm thinking Boot Camp. Anyone care to join? }( I also have to do extra cardio and will probably do the BC no ab premix and do my abs at the end.

How is everyone this morning?
 
HI WENDY!!!!! I'm here!:7

I just got done w/ Leg work, SJP cardio, Freestyle upper body, and abs.
Only took a little over an hour. :)
I'd join you for Bootcamp but I did it yesterday and don't think I'll be able to do it again. I was beat afterwards yesterday.
Next time it's on your schedule, let me know and I'll do it with you. OK?

I've been watching Good Morning America about Katrina. It is unbelievable. I'm just praying for all the people there especially for our friends in here who have family and friends on the coast. ;(

So how's Joey? Dan and Matt are good. Ready for school I think. I know I am. The 1 thing I'm happy about is they are finally going to be apart for most of the day. All they do is bicker and annoy each other lately it seems. So now they'll get a break from each other.:)
What movie did you watch last night?

Hello Charlotte, Marie, Jessica and Cleo!

Hi Kali!

Joey's still in bed! LOL I am gonna go get him as soon as I finish my 2nd cup of coffee which I have to go grab! I brewed it a few mins ago and then got busy with Laundrymax so I haven't put sugar/creamer in it yet! I better get to it before it gets cold! :eek: Can't waste good coffee!!! ;)

Glad your boys are going to get a break from eachother...I'm sure they need it. I know I wanted to be AWAY from my sister as much as possible growing up! :p
 
Good Morning Wendy and Kali!

I was watching Katrina too off the weather channel. My workout buddy, Carla lives in Pensacola. I am so scared for her right now. I really thought the storm would go more west as I watched earlier in the day yesterday and was horrified to see it came up closer towards Pensacola. She emailed me yesterday, I am sure before she left. She was trying very hard to pull herself together. The wind gust there are not that high at the moment so I pray that it will not get worse.

Well today is going to be an all out cardio day for me. I was going to run yesterday and honestly just did not feel like it so I didn't. So I feel better today and will get out there and run. I would like to say 6 miles, but I will see how far I end up going. Maybe 6, maybe 4 or maybe 12! LOL! I have to mow too. I am getting sick of mowing and mowing inbetween pine trees with bugs and spiders that want to trickle down my legs...EW! Freaks me out everytime, and I have to watch for snakes. I have trash duty today too. We don't have local trash service around here so I have to haul off all our trash in the back of our truck and visit the jailbirds who take the trash out for me. Ain't it great???? LOL!

Well I got to get my butt outside and run before it gets too hot.

Charlotte~~
 
Have a good run Charlotte and get the rest of that ugly work done asap so that you can enjoy the rest of your day! :)
 
WOW Charlotte! You are one busy lady. I would certainly FREAK over the spiders and snakes!!! I HATE spiders!!!
Have a great run! Watch yourself around those jailbirds!Although if one made a comment or something to you they'd be sorry.:7 LOL!

Well I just got back from visiting the jailbirds. The one guy was stupid. Waited until I pulled all the way back to the dumpster and then asked me to go to the other. Dumb. Anyhow, I stopped to get gas for mowing and it spilled in the back of the truck just as I pulled in the driveway. I drive too much like a maniac and should have known better. The fragrance is divine though. Love the smell of gas! LOL! Killed some of the weeds too in the driveway...nice! LOL!
Anyhow, I am off to spray the rest of the weeds in the driveway before the rain comes and then off to run and then mow. Holy Cow, I am gonna be busy!

Charlotte~~
 
Hey Charlotte. Sounds like you're keeping busy this afternoon.

I'm just hanging out with the boys trying to get my 7 year old to finish the summer homework he should have had done 2 months ago. He is so lazy it's infuriating. He is in for a rude awakening when he gets to the 2nd grade on Wednesday.
Can you tell I'm not sad anymore about them going to school?? :p

Ran the vacuum, finishing up some laundry. That's about it. DH said don't bother cooking for him so that made my day!:7 I hate cooking and eating when it's this humid. x(
Maybe I'll bake some blueberry muffins. Thursday I'm baking a Bailey's Irish cream cake for my BIL. I hope none of my sober friends see me going in the liquor store! They'll think I fell off the water wagon!!!LOL!

Wonder where Marie Jess and Cleo are?

Wendy, how was Bootcamp did you survive??

Kali

Hey Girls!

Kali~~~I answered your question about my goal in the Moment of Truth Thread I believe, earlier today! :)

I survived BC but dangit I forgot I wanted to do it twice again! x( Actually, though, it was harder on me today than usual for some reason so today probably isn't the day to do it twice anyhow! After that I did SJP step only-abs-stretch.

Burned 425 cals with BC and 203 cals with SJP step. :D }( :D

Joey fell asleep. He hasn't had much of a nap today so I'm hoping he sleeps for atleast an hour or 2 now...will give me a chance to catch up on some things I have to do with out interruption...IF I ever get my butt off this chair!!!:p

Actually though since I finished workin' out I have really stopped much, it was showering, eating, feeding Joey, doing laundry...I've been doing SOMETHING but sitting and vegging like I am now since 11 am! I need a cup of coffee and then back to the tasks at hand.;)

Hope everyone is doing well today!
 
Well Hello Kali and Wendy,

Didn't mow today as I got too busy weeding and I wouldn't be able to finish if I started too late, but I did get in my run. Well I ran, power walk, ran, power walk, etc. You know before the storm comes, and the sun gets very intense? Way too hot today as I should have ran earlier, but proscratinated instead. I feel great and felt like I did my absolute best! My face is fire red.
I need a heart monitor bad so I know what I am burning off, Wendy!
Kali, I hope those blueberry muffins are the low carb kind? You know you can buy that kind and it taste just as good.
BTW, my goal weight is 125, but I doubt I will reach it. I mean, I eat like a horse, but my weight just never goes up. I guess I meant to stay where I am, dunno.
Well now that I am cooling off some (my face still looks red), I need to go do some squats and leg curls before the children come home.
Wendy, did you get your butt off the chair yet?

Charlotte~~
 
I washed dishes while my coffee was brewing so now I am back sitting on my butt for a few while I drink it! }( When I am done I must get back to laundrymax.

What are you up to, Kali?

Charlotte-What is holding you back from getting a heart rate monitor if you want one? JUST DO IT! They are an AWESOME motivational tool!!! :)
 
My son just got done with his Summer work! I was ready to choke him!
Now he's off playing with his brother. One more day.
I'm drinking coffee trying to balance the checkbook. It was off only a quarter but I couldn't rest until I figured that out! I am so obsessive compulsive it's pathetic.

Maybe I'll workout again. It's too hot to walk, so maybe I'll do SB or RS. What cha think? DH is finally accepting that his wife is losing weight and looking better. He admits he's jealous of any man I come in contact with that is not his brother or mine, but he is doing his best to deal with it. LOL.

How about you Wendy is DH over protective of you too?

Kali!!! I know what you mean about the checkbook! Lately I have been quite lax with it but I am usually a nut with that stuff too! LOL

Workin' out AGAIN in this heat!?!? CRAZY!!!! :p }( :p

My DH is not overprotective/jealous...or atleast he doesn't show it...I am not that way either though. We are both very laid back with that kind of stuff. A little of that is cool for the ego though, isn't it? ;) }(

Ok I MUST go finish the laundry and straighten up the house so that DH doesn't think I sit around on this forum all day long and do NOTHING! ;) :p }( HA!

I'll be back though! I think you all know that already though! You can't get rid of me THAT easy! :*

TTYL!
 
Wendy,

I have been having a love affair with plastic lately so I don't want to buy anymore stuff right now and put on the card. I just got a bunch of Halloween decorations (rats and bats, etc). Should have gotten the monitor instead, huh?

Well I did get in the 6 mile run, but I had to keep stopping due to the heat. So it was run, power walk, etc. Also did 3 sets of 8's squats with 80lbs. Hubby and I were doing them this weekend and said I wasn't going down far enough so I swallowed my pride as I was up to 115, and went back down in weight. I want to do them right even if I have to go way down in weight! I should have known better, but it is not like I can see myself do them. I did leg curls too with a 35lb plate, same set of 8's.

Kali,

My DH is over protective of me as well, but he is not really jealous because he knows there isn't any need to be. He knows he has my full heart.

Charlotte~~
 
Hi, ladies:

I am in a class M-W this week (every day from 8 to 5:30) and am taking the PMP certification exam on Thursday morning. I don't know if anyone has heard of it, but it will cement my geek status :) and indicate to the world that I am a queen of project management activities. :7 :7 The thing is, it is HARD and my brain already hurts!

I won't be on the boards at all this week (probably), so keep me in your thoughts if you don't mind.

Hope you all have a great week and the news from the south isn't too catastrophic. I am sending all kinds of prayers their way.

Cheers,
Marie
 
We'll be thinking of you Marie! You are not a geek and YOU can do this!! I have faith in you! Take your time, you'll do fine!

Hi Charlotte. Glad you could relate to the over protective thing. DH has always been like this. Just another one of his PERKS I gotta live with.
Good job with the squats. I probably would've dropped a plate on his foot if my DH told me that. Just kidding. I am not a violent person. I'm just very defensive. LOL. You are a lucky woman to have someone that you have stuff in common with.:)

Guys are all gone for a walk in the woods. I was going to vacuum the pool but it's supposed to rain the next 2 days so there's no point in that. DH's gonna give the boys haircuts when they get back. Nothing much else going on here. Just gonna practice my Blues Progression. I'm really having fun with it now. I turned the reverb switch on my amplifier, and WOW!!!!!! It makes it sound sooooooooo cool! It is so loud! Can't wait for my lesson Thursday!

Where are ya Wendy? How's your cals for today? I am waaaaayyyyy under, but that's ok. My body will let me know when it wants more to eat!
