TuEsDaYs InSaNeLy HOT DaMaGe CoNtRoLlErS

Good Morning

I probably should have went to bed a little earlier last night, but oh well...nothing I can do about it now. DS came out with us around 2'ish. Its a good thing we have a king size bed. We have these different heaters on the wall, they aren't in every room and when they start up they blow out hot air right away. Well, DS loves them. He sits in front of them in the a.m. When I tried to put him in bed with us at 2 (cause he can't climb all the way up there himself) he grabbed my hand and wanted me to stand by the heater with him b/c it had just kicked in. Yeah....I don't think so. Anyway, I don't know about DH but I slept fine with the three of us in the bed. Its a queen size so there is lots of room, neither one of us is very big.

Yesterday I decided that I would like to do a marathon this Spring I just have to figure out when and where. I would like to do one that will qualify me for the Boston marathon. I would also like to do the Ottawa one b/c its suppose to be beautiful but I should probably pick a place where we have relatives and we wouldn't have to crash in a hotel room....$$$$. Especially if I pick this spring b/c DD as her trip and we may be going to Cuba. Toronto marathon would be the one to do if I wanted to stay with family. I have some time to think anyway.

Alright, so I can definitly get outside this a.m. Could be freezing out but when I picked out my workout clothes I picked out enough stuff to keep me warm!

Gonna catch up on personnals;.....I have time...its still not light out yet!
BBL to report!

Jen** So you enjoyed the workout I take it? It is tough stuff. I haven't done one in a while now, probably 2 weeks or so. I guess after this race I can do whatever I want Which will be nothing for the 3 days cause my legs will be to sore. I am glad that some of my friends are doing it cause they will experience the same pain that I will be feeling!

Wendy** When are you finishing your curreent job? I was working for a airline PT when I took the job I am working at now. I gave up some of my shifts but wanted to stay working there for the passes and stuff. It was getting to the point where I was working to much. I was thinking about giving it up but before I did, the airline pulled out and we all had the chance to move or get a package I was soooo glad I waited! I would have been kicking myself if I had left and then everyone else got $!

Diana** I think we posted at the same time yesterday. How are your legs today? Im guessing that you didn't go away last weekend?

Good Morning to Jacque and Miss MIA Laura

My last shift of 4 is today...woo hoo! Home with DS for the next 2 days, Im kinda looking forward to it. I don't feel like I have seen him very much in the last few days. Poor thing!

Morning Ladies,

Today calls for Max Cardio! I purposely didn't preview it so I wouldn't be scared off. My legs are still, especially my calves. It's all that jumping and should subside in a few days, at least I hope so.

We didn't go to my parent's condo since Jerod's game was moved from Sat morning to Sat night. We also didn't want to take him out of school for 2 days either. Because DS2 and Jerod fight so much we didn't want to leave him home without us. I'm quite disappointed to say the least. Anyway, I will be calling the time-share company later to find out what we are taking over entails. I've already paid the 3rd qtr mtnc fees for my stepmom.

I'm off today too....and will be cleaning my house. The kids take care of it most of the time but every few weeks or so I need to clean it to catch the stuff they miss.

My niece's 18th bday was on Sunday. She played in the state cup semi-finals and won. They are headed to the finals in 2 weeks. It's the same weekend as Jerod's superbowl, if he wins this next weekend.

DH's ipod is stuck on "connect to itunes" image on his screen. We've tried restoring it and following all the steps on the apple support to no avail. I'll probably end up taking it back to the apple store and see if they can fix it or replace it. I'm so disappointed, he's had it less than a month and really loves it.

Lori-My legs are still sore but I'm going to give max cardio a try anyway. I'm sure it will be fine. I hope you find a fun marathon to do. I would love to do one with you but my feet just can't take the training. I can't believe that spinning is killing my legs the way it is. They really push us in class and its a lot of fun, and doesn't usually hurt my feet. Love the story about DS climbing into bed with you.

Jen-how did you like the plyo w/o???

Jacque-I think I figured out why my hr monitor isn't working quite right. There is a low battery icon on the display which is probably causing the problem. It's been about a year since I sent in for a battery replacement. Guess I need to do that again.

It's time for me to get Jerod up for school. I bbl to see what everyone else is up to.

Hey Girls!

I have been pretty busy all morning. I like days like this b/c before I know it, it will be time to go home

I ran outside today and boy...it was chilly I did 12 kms, Im only suppose to be doing shorter runs this week but you know me! Im not going to listen to that. My rest days will be Fri and Sat though.My running partner as a bad back and a weird leg. She says it feels numb. She as a Dr's apt tomorrow but she probably won't get any results back until after the race. Crazy like she is still going to atempt it

Diana** So how was the workout? Or do I want to know? Sounds like your weekends are taken up with games...but thats a good thing. DD as a v-ball tournament this weekend and I have to send her grandparents to watch her b/c I am going to be gone.

I will check back again later!

Hi ladies,

Well I spent the whole morning working out and doing the laundry.

I started with Max Cardio, not nearly as bad as pure cardio IMO. Yes, its hard but it is at a much slower pace, no-I didn't say easier either. I wanted to stop about the time Shaun said it was time for him to take off his shirt....well that alone was enough motivation to finish! Oh yeah at about the 15 min mark or so he slows things down for a bit...but be aware, there is more to come.

Next was Insanity UB w/o. This is the first time I've done this workout and I liked it more than I thought I would. I'm embarrased to say the heaviest DB I used was 20's...feeling like a weakling here. Rachel is in this w/o and is totally ripped. But again, she's a fitness instructor.

Finally...Jerod who is home sick from school came down with a package he had to sign for. Lo and behold it was hip hop abs. I gave one of those w/o's a try and had to laugh...Shaun T raps through it. Also, Tonya from the Insanity workouts is also in this series. It's a little disappointing as I would like to see what kind of results the average individual (who
exercises regularly) would get from these types of rotations.

I need to shower and see about getting Jerod to the Dr. He's basically been sick for weeks and it just won't go away. More headcold and achy feeling, but no fever. The last time I took him they didn't give him any thing for it.

Max Interval Plyo is done.

 

[irishrose]

Good afternoon girlies!

I think this is going to be a loooooooooooong week. I'm not nearly as busy as I like to be and the afternoon is dragging

I got up and did Max Interval Plyo this morning. This was another killer. I'm sure it'll get easier as time goes on, but right now I feel like I'm in the first week on month one all over again It probably didn't help that I was out in my garage by 5:15 this morning and that the temperature was COLD. I much prefer warmer temps for working out.

Lori: Your DS is a cutie! I think I'd like to sit in front of the warm air too, especially this morning. Sounds like you had another good run. Yup, I am liking these workouts very much, despite my complaints!

Diana: Sorry to hear you didn't make it to the cabin. Hopefully you'll be able to take advantage of it soon! I'm relieved to hear that Max Cardio isn't the monster I've made it out to be in my mind I hope I feel the same way, though I have to admit that I thought the plyo workout was harder than the circuit, and I know you think differently. Will I actually be dying through Max Cardio tomorrow?

Yay, not much longer til I can make a break for it. Will bbl~

Hey Peeps.

Have some time here before I gotta get crackin' on dinner so I figured I would finally come by and catch up with y'all! I just checked and I am all caught up on y'day's thread already so that only leaves today. Phew. I thought I might be farther behind then that!

Laura:: Jen and I are up for MCC as well tmrw. That's the one I already tried but ended up having to do it in 2 parts. We will see what I think of it tmrw when I have to do it ALL AT ONCE! lol Thank goodness he doesn't have cardio abs tacked on just yet. I don't think I'd make it.... Hey! You'll appreciate this one! DH and I are packin' our bags and heading down to Atlantic City this weekend! My mom and her bf are going and invited us. Woo Hoo!

Jen:: Sorry you are slow at work. I hope your day didn't drag on too badly! Yeah some of the moves in MIP were nutty and not totally doable for me but I did them as best as I could and finished the work out in one piece! Exhausted and sore...but in one piece! So....you wanna take a ride down and meet us in A/C this weekend?

Diana:: Wow you were just an exercising fool today girl! Glad you enjoyed Shaun's u/b work out. I am going to be purchasing the deluxe dvd eventually. Perhaps it will be my gift to myself when I get the first paycheck from my new job! Sorry about your DS being sick for so long. Sucks when you can't kick something like that. Hopefully the doc will give him something this time.

Lori:: Have fun choosing a marathon to do! I keep telling myself it's still a goal of mine but TBH, I don't realistically think it's going to happen...I'm just not into running these days. I do it once a week for about 30 minutes and I am fine with that. *shrugs*

Okay, that catches me up. I'm outta here! Have a great night ladies!

Hi ladies,

I'm happy to say that they finally gave Jerod some antibiotics. He was at the Dr. office 6 weeks ago and has just not really gotten any better. Hopefully this Zpack will knock out whatever's been hangin' around him. We also both got our flu shots. They have a walk-in clinic at the office just for flu shots and they are free! I signed up to have one at work but would've had to pay for it.

Tomorrow morning I have an appt. with the orthodontist. I paid for my kids to have straight teeth...why not me. I really just want to know what my options are, how long will it take, ...and most importantly-how much it will cost. I looked into this several years ago. It was just after my mtn biking accident and the oral surgeon had told me I could lose my bottom teeth in 7-10yrs. It's been about 6yrs and the dentist said my teeth seem to be strong so far. I didn't have any bone damage, just soft tissue so hopefully my teeth won't fall out. I guess the teeth falling out is pretty normal if you had bone damage such as a broken jaw etc.

Confession time, I just had the most wonderful dessert. DH made it a bit differently last night. I took 2 dark chocolate ghiradelli squares, 1 tbs almond butter, 4 almonds and the tiniest bit of butter...melted in microwave, stired up and refrigerated for a few minutes...mmm mmm good.

Jen-I'm sure you will be just fine doing max cardio...especially when you want to quit and then Shaun so inspirationally takes his shirt off!! It so different, the fact that everything is at a much slower pace, not killer like PC. Can't wait to hear your review. I too feel like i'm starting insanity for the first time too.

Laura-sorry your team lost, that's never fun. Take your frustrations out with Shaun. I did UB work today and hope to be sore tomorrow to take my mind off my never ending sore legs. I'm sure it's from all the jumping in this rotation.

Wendy-your weekend plans sound wonderful. It's nice to get away if only for a couple of day. Do you get any benefits with your part time job?

Jacque-where are you girl?? Hope work isn't keeping you away from Shaun!

Later Gators!
