X Factor Hump Day

[Fit_mommy]

Hi Girls.

I'm up early to squeeze in L&G and ab work before getting Joey up and ready for the day. I feel good in the mornings and after the cookies y'day AND missing my work out, I need this mentally. Now if I fall apart later and can't get in the missed cardio after work then so be it.

Not sure if I have personals to catch up on but I simply don't have the time right now. Once I'm worked out and showered I'll come back if I can. If not, I'll be back later in the day.

After all, it's not like you girls are going to come bounding on to the thread by 7am! I'm such a loser for being here so early every day, huh? It's the first thing I do while drinking my coffee.

BBL!

Hi Wendy and all who follow!

I'm actually an early bird too but don't come to the boards until after I get some things done. I can't seem to find the extra time to be on the computer for more than 15 minutes. I'm starting a new program for my clients and I use my spare time to work on that. I homeschool my 3 kids, so that is where a big chunk of my time goes.

Yesterday's workout was a step interval class at the gym, it was a fun class but more intermediate level. I did relatively well with my eating except for the 2 pieces of banana bread. I had to make sure it tasted ok.

Today's workout is either 4DS upper body, BM2 double upper body, or Amy's Slo-Mo upper body. Decisions, decisions.

I haven't read any of the posts.... I'm sorry I hope all is well with everyone. Are we doing a new challenge? I'm not doing so great with the sugar one. Well, actually I have made some improvements!

Wendy, I hope L&G goes well for you. I know exactly how you feel. So, I hope you're kicking some bootay!

Have a great day everyone. My motherboard was replaced yesterday, so hopefully that was the problem and it's not the harddrive. Time will tell and thank God for warranties.

Let's make today GREAT!

Awesome!!!

L&G and ME ab work are DONE DONE DONE! Yay! I'm not one to get up before dawn to work out but I must admit, it's a great feeling to have it behind me first thing.

I'm already showered and eating breakfast with plenty of time for my 2nd cup of java while getting the little guy ready for school.

BB after work!

Hey Ladies,

I'm so glad the election is over and all the political phone calls will stop!! I've started following the Nov rotation and am doing GS BSB this morning and will hit the rec ctr for some cardio later today.

Wendy-It's just because your on the east coast that your the first one to post. Thanks for doing that to, its always so easy for me to find our thread. Not only that, but reading that your w/o is already done really encourages me to get my w/o done!

Shirl-glad the computer is fixed. How old are your kids? I'm sure I don't have the patience or the smarts to home school my son. Have fun with your upper body torture today!!

BBL

Morning Ladies . .

I am officially turning off the TV - I am sooooo sick of the political CRAP!! LOL

I am DOMING in the shoulders, core, bis, and forearms today . . I did have a small turnout .. they begged me to do something easier than the 4 step torture .. well .. I did 4 step but w/weight UB triple sets .. a good match to what I did Mon. it was a great w/o .. not so much cardio wise but UB was fried upon leaving!! I went home and watched a movie as to avoid the political crap .. the Lazerus Project ... hhhhmmmm .. strange movie .. kinda freaky .. was not what I expected but was one I could not stop watching . . strange!!

My Toots is full in Heat ..ready to stand and Buster is NOT obliging ..??? .. WTH??? his timing is off bad .. she is throwing up her tail at him and he is doing nothing!!! I REALLY wanted puppies .. one of their pups!! She does have a bad knee so I am not going to FORCE insemmination ... if it happens it happens you know (poor thing kinda like me ... lol) He has not gone insane yet ... it is coming though .. maybe he will get a clue b-4 it is too late!!

OK .. today is official rest day .. have hair appnt at lunch (boy does it need it bad) ... tonight we are going to a friend's house for a girls get together .. she bought a new home and has it all fixed up .. so it is kinda like a housewarming (this is BF that has pscho X) .. none of us have seen it b/c she lives about 30 min from town!! I will have a long drive home but it will be fun!!

OK .. better run .. lots of paperwork calling me . . no time for personals .. will BBL to check in to see what all you girls are up to!!

Hey girlies!! Remember me?

I've had an insanely busy few days and don't really expect it to slow down before Friday But I just wanted to pop in quickly to say hi and let you all know I'm still here.

I'll BBL after lunch when the boss is out of the office and I'm able to type freely for a few minutes.

Hi Girls.

For some reason I ran out of work with out even considering running before I left. I had my stuff with me. I have no idea why I did that. I have to take Joey to the dr after school to make sure the bronchitis is gone and to get a flu shot. From there I will probably head to the gym for a 30 min run on the TM if I still feel okay. It will be the cardio I missed from y'day.

I'm getting excited for my A/C trip coming up on friday! Thank goodness I am off that day. I'll be packing and working out. That's it. I hope to leave as soon as DH gets home from work at 4:30. I wanted to leave earlier but it looks like it's not going to happen. Oh well.

I wonder if I'll have DOMS from L&G tmrw? I still can't believe I didn't get any from B&G last week. BIZARRE!!!!

Gotta leave shortly to pick DS up from school. From there I want to make a quick stop at a store and then it will be time to head to the pediatrician's office. FUN stuff! LOL

BBL for personals!

Ahhhhh . . . Finally made it here to post.

Ran by earlier to read a bit first though.

Cardio Kicks was my workout this AM. I enjoyed it - not too hard but could feel it and sweated a little. Want to see how motivated I am after work and may tackle L & G since I am a day behind in my rotation.


Wendy - no DOMS here from PP and I was barely able to do some of it? WTH? I think we may be getting used to the endurance workouts? I could feel my muscles when going up and down the stairs yesterday, but not soreness, just like they had been "used" quite a bit. Hope you get to feeling better. I'm trying to catch up on the rotation . . .


Shirl - glad you have a new "mother" board. You know nothing works well without a good Mom, right? Sounds like a fun class last night. Good job on the eating - a little bit o nana bread is not too bad. It could have been two candy bars ! At least there was fruit in it, right?

Diana - glad elections are over too ! Now, as usual, we'll see what promises are kept ! I looked at the Nov. rotation the other day. Looks like a good one. Keep me posted on what you think. Enjoy the cardio !

Laura - crossing fingers for puppies ! I had a couple litters of mini schnauzes a while back. So much fun ! They were both spring litters - even better that I could turn them out into the backyard during the day. Enjoy your rest day, pampering and you BF's new home with company.

Jen - wow you have been swamped for quite a while. I am finally getting a little less busy - hope it lightens up for you soon. Thanks for letting us know you are OK - see ya soon.

And also want to say that I have done super well eating for the past few days. No chips or candy, but did have a few fries and an onion ring last night (Hey Shirl, remember a little is OK? LOL!). Other than that, no CAB's either for 4 whole days in a row. Wonder how long I can do that? Will attempt to make it to the weekend and then hit the scale to see if it has made a difference. If not, all bets are OFF ! Course if my pants loosen up I may be OK. !

Until later chickadees.

Afternoon ladies ..

back to report yet another new do style!! I think in addition to exercise ADD .. I have hairstyle ADD too!! she cut more choppy layers and it comes into my face it REALLY looks good .. I am loving this stylist!! The color is once again perfect .. she went w/low lites and just a few highlites around my face .. my only complaint w/her is she overbooks .. she is quite a "perfectionist" .. which is good .. but that makes her slower and her clients back up .. but she IS GOOD .. so I cant complain!!!

Wendy .. hope little Joey is A-ok ... and the bronchitis is outta here!!! dont push yourself .. you dont want to get sicker!! Everyone here has allergy head .. I swear if it is not the pollen .. it is the ragweed - if it isnt that it is something else ..seems we have YEAR round allergies here

Shirl .. you homeschool your 3 kids .. YOWZA .. that is a heavy load .. no wonder your time is limited .. how do you fit in your w/o's??? Hope you fried your UB like I did yesterday .. think the DOMS are getting worse as the day goes by!! LOL

Di ... we didnt get any political calls or polls or anything .. think they skip over AL seeing as how we dont have a large # of electorial votes .. but now we are going to have to listen to POST election analysis .. blah blah blah .. enough already .. I am gonna turn off the news I cant take it!!! So .. how many meltdown classes do you have per week???? the next one should be full on since the instructor has the measurements and info they need now!!!

Jen .. good to see ya .. I know the super busy hectic rushed feeling .. just so you are ok .. and keeping up the w/os'!

DeeDee .. so what torture did you inflict upon your classes today??? since mine get a break today I would like to know someone is out there cranking out the punishment!! LOL

Jacque ... I am keeping my fingers crossed for pups .. but I am not getting my hopes up ... dont know if HE is the problem or SHE is . . but she is wanting it now . .. sooooo if he gets his act together???? I think b/c they are kept so close together may be a problem!! LOL about the 4 day NO CABS .. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Ang ... where are ya girl?? must have election hangover like me huh??? *ugh* .. I worry about our country! but it is girls night out and I talked to my friend w/cancer her last CT scan showed NO ACTIVITY ..WOOOHOOO.. and that means CABS all around!! no exercise AND CABS ... blowing it for sure today!! (poor poor students tommorrow)

Hi girls

Today called for KenpoX and then I was supposed to go to a basketball game, but Cody was a total jerk when he got home so I refused to take him to the school. He should know better than to test me by now. Geesh....teenagers!! ACK! He could have walked and made it, but he was too mad to do that, so it must not have been that important to him. I'm doing the PMS thing and I think he's doing the puberty thing so hormones collided and it was not pretty. Dang it! I was really looking forward to this game too.....it would have been a nail biter.

Wendy - Great job with L&B and abs first thing. IA - it's an awesome feeling getting it done early. I totally know how you feel since I normally don't workout first thing either.
Hope the Dr. appt was successful.
Oh, an AC trip this weekend eh? There wouldn't be any CABs involved in that would there??

Shirl - Great news about the computer.....hope it's fixed for good. I know what a pain that can be.
My hats off to you for homeschooling. I would not have the patience to do that. I like my time alone when the boys are in school. Is that bad??

Diana - Would you believe I got an election mailing today? Will it never end???
Hope you are having fun with the new rotation.

Laura - I didn't know you WANTED pups. I soooo hope it happens for ya. Are they together at home while you are at work? If so, is it possible that the deed has been done?
Have fun at your get together, but be careful driving home. Who knows what on earth you will encounter on your way home......I hate to even guess. LOL!
Nope, no election hangover for me....had to work today.....the guys get a bit miffed if they don't get their paychecks. Who knew?
But, I did have a bottle of beer last night after the long walk with Maggie. We walked on the trail for an hour....Cam went too. It was a beautiful evening and I just couldn't resist. I'm going again tomorrow with BF. The weathers supposed to return to "normal yuck" tomorrow night so I gotta take advantage of it and get some sunshine.

Jen - Hi right back at ya.

Jacque - Great job on the eats. I need to do something about it. Ug! It is my achiellies heel.
Is there any more painting on your scheudule or is that a weekend chore?

I'll chat with you all later.......
