X Factor Election Day Tuesday

[Fit_mommy]

Hey Girls.

I slept in today so I'm posting later then usual. I wonder if I'll see anyone before I have to leave for school/work??

Today's work out was slated as a run but in light of the bug that's tryin' to grab hold of me, I'm going to go easier and just take the Groove class at 4:30. The good night's sleep got rid of the achey feeling. I have DOMS in my chest/back/shoulders for sure but that's ok ofcourse. The phlegm and cough are still here but not bad enough to make today a rest day so unless I start to feel crappy again this afternoon I'll be working out.

Gotta get the little guy up but I'll be back later on!

Happy Election Day!!

had a little extra time this morning as dh took ds#1 to school today!

wendy- you are just full of compliments!! have you started looking at jobs since joey has started school? i am thinking and i stress THINKING about doing another HM next year. would be fun to do it with somebody..hint, hint. i hope you are feeling better and that bug doesn't catch hold of you. i don't think i've ever had a cold hang onto me as long as this last one did. i finally felt all better yesterday

Laura- lol, ok we will video ourselves and send the videotapes to each other to watch us torture others. i have a new name at my gym. they call me DSD- stands for drill sargent Dee Dee...lol. it's always a boost when people not only come to your class but actually leave in a sweaty mess, yet ever so happy

jacque- yes, i am glad all went well with my new classes. i've been changing our group ex schedule alot, adding in better classes taking away the ones with low participation. previously it hadn't been changed in about 5 years

shirl- hey girl!! glad your computer is up and running!! we missed ya.


today's workout was a 45 minute TM run. might throw in something else later if i have time.

i voted saturday so i am all set!!

i hope everyone has a most awesome day!!

Hi Ladies,

It has been super busy at work. One of my friends gave her resignation notice and her last day is this Friday. They've made some changes at work and it just isn't fun anymore. It just won't be the same without her.

I move back to my previous desk and will be working on more web based projects next week. I am looking forward to it but it will be very stressful for a while at least.

The holiday meltdown class is pretty fun so far. Last night we did a lot of running while she took measurements one at a time. Then she had 3 stations set up, one with a bosu, one with gliders, and the last with balance disks. We rotated through 4 times at each station doing different exercises for 1 minute. On the bosu we did different types of pushups, the balance disks we did balance/leg work, the disks are my favorite as they really get in that glute area good!

Jerod played his last football game Sunday night. It was a tough game and the boys lost 6-0. Jerod has opted not to play in the tournament which frees up his time for wrestling. Otherwise he would've had another 2 weeks of football/and wrestling practice and it was getting to be too much for all of us. We will go to the game and support the team.

I think all you fitness gurus should be sending us DVD's of your classes. I really want Laura's 4 step torture class!!!

What's our healthy habit of the week this week. Remember, we add to our previous healthy habits. Don't forget to drink plenty of water, eliminate sweets (cut down at least) and whatever our new habit is.

Wendy-you know I try not to post in the morning cuz I spend too much time on the computer and it cuts into my w/o time. Even today, it is 6:45 and I should be downstairs doing KPC. I'll get it done before I leave for work. Joey looked adorable for Halloween.

Laura-so sorry to hear about DH. Try not to worry too much. IA, time for some good news for you. Sorry to hear about your friend too, I'll say an extra prayer for her.

Angie-Candy corn-I stay away from it now as it gives me the worst stomach ache ever. How is basketball going.

Dee Dee-I love the HM distance. Which one are you thinking of? The same one Wendy is doing the full? It sounds like your group fitness classes were due for a change and you were just the person to get it done! Where do you live, if you don't mind sharing. I'm in CO but traveled to Las Vegas for my first HM in 1995, before I had my youngest son. I want to do a HM in San Diego

Shirl-Glad to hear your pc is working. I hate pc problems and I work in IT!

Jacque-Wow, talk about multi-tasking-working out during the Sharks intermission is making the rest of us look bad! You know, you gotta fit in the exercise when you can.

HMMM-it's 7am and if I don't get my butt downstairs I will miss my w/o time!

Have a great day ladies!!

Good Morning Ladies !

Woo hoo, no more election mumbo jumbo after today ! < < < Insert a few back flips! > > >

Up and at the PP doubles but only made it to the leg floorwork as I have to get to work and can't be late.

Yep, that was tough doing the exercises twice ! I had a hard time breathing and had to pause a couple of times.

BBL for personals !

Did we make it before you had to leave Wendy?

Core has a few DOMS .. I changed up the abs segment and did a reverse layout of the norm .. everytime I mix it up like that I get sore!! Tonight is 4 step plyo/plank/pushup/core torture .. Di wish you were here to partake. Think the turnout is gonna be iffy due to the election .. but I am sure the die-hards will be there .. sure they will have voted b-4 class! oooo if the newbies show tonight they are gonna be hurting tommorrow!!

Wendy .. sorry about the crud .. DH and I both have allergy heads .. probably the p-nut dust .. they are picking p-nuts around us and it does a # on my sinuses!! Feel better .. and dont overdo!!!

DeeDee ... LOL drill seargeant DeeDee .. my students call me drill seargent Taylor sometimes!! LOL ... they know they love it would love to partake in one of your kickbutt classes!!! Sounds like our teaching styles may be similar!! in a twisted torturing kind of way!! LOL

Di .. meltdown class sounds fun .. sounds like a lot of stabalizing exercises . . that will work the crap outta your core!! FUN!!! Hate your friend will not be there anymore .. I know when you have a good friend at work and they leave it does make the place a little harder to come back too!! hoping you will be so busy in your new/old position it will make the transition easier!! Hang in there!!

Jacque .. no CABS during a hockey game .. (fainted on floor) you have WILL POWER!!! I can not promise the same during my team's game .. heck as terrible as they are playing I need to drink just to endure the pain!! we have homecoming this weekend .. GOD PLEASE let US win!!

Anyone want to suggest a new good habit for this week?? since some didn't do as well on the no sugar we should keep that one in too .. heck as well as the water consumption .. if we keep adding goals and keeping the old goals we should be jam up in a short while (just dont add the NO CABS goal .. I will fail miserably.. LOL)

OK .. better run ... go vote if you have not already .. say a prayer for our country .. and get a butt kicking sweat dripping full out to ya drop workout in!!

Hola X-ers

I went ahead and did CoreSyn early today since I wasn't sure what my schedule was gonna be like. After that I went to work and DH got a break in his day so we went out to lunch and voted. There was NO line. There are a few advantages to living in the stix I guess. Then we went to Wally world to pick up a couple of things. I snagged a weight vest on clearance for $17. I just can't go in there without checking out the clearance rack in the sporting goods area.

It's absolutely beautiful here today - lots of sun and mid 70's. Since I already worked out this morning, I think I'm gonna go and take the dog for a walk in town.

Wendy - You are probably Groovin' right now.
Some people are just born early morning people (like DH) and others are definitely night owls (me for sure). I wish I was an early bird, but no such luck....as much as I'd like to change it.....it just ain't happenin'.
Thanks for the dark chocolate tip. I bought the 60% hersheys dark at Walmart today and they are pretty good. I also bought ghirdelli 72%, which I haven't tried yet.
Hope you are still feeling better. Are you taking the airborne?

Shirl - Glad to see you pop in last night. Is the puter fixed for good?

Diana - Sorry about the friend leaving. Hopefully the change ahead of you will be a positive one.
Glad Jarod is switching gears and looking forward to wrestling. I'll bet he'll do great.
Cody had his first basketball game last night and won. Their team is awesome again this year. They finished with an 11-1 record last year. Unfortunately not thanks to Cody though. *lol* He's flat footed and can't run very well at all. He is very slow and his reflexes are less than stellar as well, but he has fun so that's all that matters. It's really fun to watch them play.....some of them are just amazing!

Jacque - Great job on PP doubles. Yikes! I've never tried that.....once thru is quite enough for me. LoL
The lovehandle DOMS the other day came from Squeeze. I actually think it was from the side reaches. Who knew?
Glad you are right on track with the eats. I really need to start tracking again. The jeans are getting tight and I'm not liking it.
I got the Fat Flush book in the mail over the weekend. I haven't read it yet, but hopefully I'll have some free time this weekend to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Laura - I think it's your call as to who comes up with the next challenge on Monday. So....any ideas? I'll bet you'll be looking for someone who likes CABs.
Yep - I voted for safety too. I feel confident in my choice but don't think it's gonna work out my way. Oh well, hopefully it will all work out the way it is supposed to.
Fresh peanuts so close? Mmmmmmm - love the fresh nuts! But, you can keep the dust.
Mead huh? We have a Mead Paper in the UP of Michigan. It's about 150-200 miles away from us so we don't haul there much but we have hauled there. I sure hope they don't strike.

So I have all the windows open to get fresh air in the house. Ahhhhhhh. I'm gonna go and get Maggie and go for that walk.

Have a terrific night ladies.

Angie

Hi Girls.

Nope, no Groovin' for me. Felt positively awful after work today. Laid down for a nap and felt better upon waking but I am running a slight fever and still don't feel great so I am afraid to push it. That being said, I am hoping to get something in tmrw. I have a busy day from the time I pick Joey up from school so my only hopes to work out are in the early morning or right after work. We'll see if I can make it happen....

Ang: YVW for the dark chocolate tip. You will notice a BIG diff between the 60% and the 72%. You may want to hold off on trying the 72. It's good but it's a shocker! LOL I was always a night owl up until I had my son. That's when I changed into an early bird. I will still stay up late if there is something keeping me occupied but regardless I am up early the next morning and then I will nap if need be. Good job gettin' core syn out of the way.

Laura: I am not about to suggest a goal as I haven't adhered to the first 2! I ate too many chocolate/peanutbutter chip cookies just this afternoon! I was doing pretty good with my food the last few days too. It's a shame I went and messed it up. Darn cookies! And as for water? I could do it if I put my mind to it but I just haven't yet. One day...

Jacque: Yeah, I had to take a couple extra seconds to catch my breath during the leg work in the PP tb premix! Get ready for DOMS tmrw! I was sore as soon as I finished it! LOL

Di: Sorry your friend at work is leaving. Hope you managed to get your work out in this morning! I know you try to avoid the pc in the mornings. I'm just busting chops.

Sunny: Us running and HM together you say?? Hmmm....let me know your thoughts as time goes on and we'll see if perhaps we can make it happen!That would be way cool! I think you are finally feeling better cause you gave it to me!!! I didn't know you could pass crud germs through the pc! LOL Nope, haven't looked for a job in quite some time. I've decided I am not going the PT route. Atleast not now. Perhaps in the future. The idea simply does not excite me anymore. When we move into a bigger house, if we have enough room, I think I'd still like to train out of my home but I just don't want to train in a gym for some reason. I've considered looking for a better paying part time job elsewhere but I just don't see that happening. Atleast not a job that will allow me to work the hours I work now....

Well, that catches me up.

BBL!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Well, Joey is done with dinner and DH isn't home yet so he's on his own tonight. Now I just have to decided what I want to eat. I hate eating dinner late so I want to get something prepared but I'm not truly hungry yet which is odd for me. Must be all those cookies I ate this afternoon!

BBL to see what's cookin'!
