Just four more months of 2013 to go. I'm focused. I have a rotation, a diet plan, and a smile:D

I hope that you two show up, if not, I will let the Jogglers go by the end of the month.

Happy September!

Hi Alisha!

So sorry I left you all alone this weekend! I just spaced out. Friday night we went out and didn't get in until 1 a.m., Saturday, we sailed all day and I was exhausted, then we had thunderstorms and were awake in the middle of the night with Peanut. Same last night. So tired! Weather kept us from doing anything else I had wanted to do this weekend and today is supposed to be more rain. :(

Sorry about all the smoke and stuff! Hope you've been able to work! Be careful and don't breathe all that crap in! Have you had a chance to do Bootcamp yet?

My last workout was, oh dear, um, Tuesday? I think. Getting back on the ball today. On the other hand, we've not eaten out a lot, not badly anyway, so I don't feel so bad. We've cooked at home and not ordered any dinners out.

I finally ordered me some new underwear! lol :eek::eek:

Victoria's Secret is having a sale, so I placed an order - finally! I've been needing to do that forever! Still need new bras, but will be waiting on that since they are so much more expensive. Probably will order some later in the fall. Stephen still hasn't been paid by UConn for teaching the summer session, nor have they reimbursed him for the June conference. They owe him around $5,000! I hope they pay him really soon!

Hi Jane! How was your vacation?
 
I'm here. I didn't have much time to post last week while I was on vacation. We got home yesterday and I've been trying to get caught up on laundry and getting stuff ready to go back to work tomorrow.

Our vacation was wonderful. I didn't do much except to swim, eat, read and relax. The weather was incredible since the summer has been so rainy I thought it would rain every day but it only rained on Friday afternoon. I did get lots of workouts in like running, walking and doing some kettlebell workouts on the beach. The beach was empty so we had the whole area to practice kettlebell throws.

Today I did the following workout:

1/2 mile run
100 walking lunges (50 each leg)
1/2 mile run
100 push ups
1/2 mile run
100 step ups (50 each leg)
1/2 mile run
100 hot potato sqauts
1/2 mile run

My eating will get back on track tomorrow.

Alisha ~ Your September plan sounds great. I hope the fire/smoke is getting better in your area.

Tricia ~ Love getting new underwear from Victoria's Secret!

Phew!

I was afraid the two of you had found a new check in and forgot to tell me about it!

I did Tai chi yesterday. I am trying Cathe's original Bootcamp Cardio only premix this morning. I will do the new LIS tomorrow.

The smoke is definitely improving. We had some rain yesterday which helped immensely.

Jane- I would love to do KBs on the beach!!

Tricia- I have experienced the 'dragging our feet to pay you' syndrome, its so annoying! Poor peanut, give peanut an extra hug from me, I don't love the thunder either.

Alisha
 
I was planning to workout tonight but got home late so I will workout tomorrow.

Alisha ~ I'm glad you got some rain. Kettlebells on the beach was awesome! We did some kettlebell throws and that was fun. The beach was the best place for throwing them.

Tricia ~ I hope Peanut is better today.
 
Evening ladies!

Alisha - Glad you got some rain! We would never leave you! Gave Peanut your hug! She is better now. We had some thunderstorms coming through this afternoon so at lunch I put her thundershirt on her and gave her a Valium. Wasn't home to be with her, but I hope it helped! The storms weren't as bad as they were forecasting, thank goodness!

Jane - I had errands too tonight, so didn't start the September rotation. Planning on doing that tomorrow.

My mom had surgery today for breast cancer. Don't remember if I told you guys about that. I have not heard anything from anyone yet about how it went or anything. That's the one thing I do miss about being down there! I could be at her house in 3 hours! I used to drive down on weekends a lot to visit. Hoping it all went well!
 
Tricia- I hope that your Mom is doing fine.

I am doing the new LIC from the LIS series. Then its off to work to inspect elevators. They never get it right.

Alisha
 
YIPPEE it's Wednesday already!!

I am going for a 3-4 mile run tonight. I hope it doesn't rain.

Tricia ~ {{{Hugs}}} to you. I hope your mom is doing fine. I'm sending lots of prayers, positive vibes and hugs to both of you.

Alisha ~ Hope you had a good workout. Have fun inspecting the elevators. Do you get to ride them or is there more work involved?
 
Evening ladies!

Alisha - I think you'll like LIC! It's fun once you get the steps! lol I actually love all of the Low Impact Series workouts! Is elevator inspection fun?

Jane - Hope you had a good run!

Neither my brother nor I have been able to find out anything about mom. Joe isn't at home when we call and we cant' get him on either of their cell phones. It's been frustrating. Hopefully, my brother will catch him soon. We have no idea what happened, how it went or if she went home today.

I have not worked out. Not sure now if I will this week. I am driving to UConn tomorrow after work to attend an event with Stephen. Wish me luck! This will be my first time driving there by myself! I hope I don't get lost! I don't have GPS in my mini. I have it on my phone. I'll have to use that. Kal Penn from the Harold & Kumar movies will be there. Should be interesting.

I will start the September rotation on Sunday or Monday so I have a weekend day off.

Have a great night!

Talked to mom tonight! She's doing really well! They only removed the right breast and they sent her home this evening. Waiting on the biopsy results and hoping all goes well with that! Glad to talk to her. I can't get over how alert and bright she sounded!

My Mom's car's battery died this morning so instead of Cathe, I drove 70 miles. Then I had to go to work.

I hope to get my Cathe in tomorrow. I hate missing it. I was all dressed and then I heard my name:( But, I can't let Mom down now, she is going to retire in just a few weeks!! Its very exciting, we weren't sure if she ever would be able to retire.

Tricia- I'm so glad that your Mom is ok. I do like LIC.

Jane-Inspecting elevators isn't bad at all. I measure things, I test how long it takes the door to close, I look for all the reach ranges. Overall, not bad. There isn't a whole lot of riding. But there was one that made noises and I got off in a real hurry!
 
LIC, take 2. :p After that, a little bit of yoga.

I was up at 3:30 AM cause my Mom wasn't feeling well and she was having a meeting with my brother (who lives in the next bedroom over!) and I just couldn't sleep through all the lights being on and off and all the conversation. They looked at me so innocently, 'I couldn't sleep through it?' :rolleyes:

I plan to workout tomorrow. I just can't wait until all this smoke goes away!!!
 
Here is tonight's workout:

Max Rounds in 10 Minutes
15 BOSU Jumps
15 Weighted Squats

Max Rounds in 10 Minutes
15 ball slams
15 kb wings (yes wings is correct)

Max Rounds in 10 Minutes
15 Presses
15 Squat Thrusts


Tricia ~ I'm so glad you heard from mom and she is doing well. My boss's wife had breast cancer surgery and she came out of it fine. She has MS and had chemo afterwards but stopped the chemo after 6 months because it really weaken her system. She has had breast reconstruction and I think she is finally done with everything. Unfortunately the MS is in her spine and she cannot walk very well.

Alisha ~ The elevator inspection sounds interesting. I sorry your mom's car battery died but you are nice to give her a ride. I'm so glad that she is able to retire soon! Hope you get your workout in.
 
Happy Friday Evening!

Alisha - Dang! That stinks about your mom's car! I hope she's feeling better too!

Elevator inspection sounds pretty interesting.

Jane - Nice workout! MS is so very bad.

We saw Kal Penn at UConn last night. It was like Inside the Actor's Studio. He was interviewed by someone from the faculty and then took questions. It was fun. He's so young and has accomplished so much!

I had an interesting drive to the University. :eek::eek:

I had to download Google Maps quickly before I left. Forgot I didn't have it on my phone and I don't have GPS in the Mini. As I was walking out the door, I looked for UConn Co-op (Stephen told me that would get me there best). I put it in and got in the car and left. It wasn't showing me directions! I had to wait until I got to a stoplight off of the highway to check it. Duh! :eek: I had it set to give me directions home! One click switched it and I was on my way!

Uh, yeah. I ended up in Groton, CT, not Storrs! I forgot there are multiple satellite campuses! Stephen called and I told him I was lost. He guided me there and I made it with only 10 minutes to spare!

Now I'll know better! lol

I have to make the drive again in 3 weeks for a jazz vibraphonist. I'll be sure to put the directions in right next time!

Have a great night! No workouts for me until Sunday probably.
 
Good Morning!

I am working in mom's yard today so that will be my workout. Last night I did a partner workout with my sister. We started out by running 200m, then Jean dragged the sled the length of yard and I flipped the tire until she was done, then we ran another 200m and we switched tasks. We did this for a little over 30 minutes and each did 4 times at the sled pull and the tire. We had 97 pounds of kettlebells on the sled and the sled is another 15 pounds. It was hard. On the way down the yard we pulled it forward but on the way back we pulled it backwards. Tough!!

I came home last night and our A/C quit working so I have a call in for Monday morning. Hope we are first on the list. Last night was not that bad. I was actually cool and that was without the ceiling fan. Luckily the temps last night were only at 70 and tonight will be 69. We might need a new unit because ours is 19 years old and the last time we had someone out they said that these units only last 15 years so we definitely got our use out of it. I'm going to work tomorrow to bring some work home so I don't have to use up my vacation time especially if we need a new unit as someone will have to be here while they install that.

Tricia ~ I'm glad you found your way. I have a navigation system in my car but it doesn't work well for the rural roads around here. I usually print out directions using google maps or map quest. I think I have the map quest app on my phone but I still like the paper copy. I'm glad you made it with 10 minutes to spare.

Alisha ~ Hope you had a great Friday and an even better Saturday.
 
Jane - Great workout! Sorry about your a/c! At least it lasted a really long time! Good thing the temps are moderate for you this weekend! I'll keep my fingers crossed that they come early on Monday!
 
Tricia- Amazon has your J8006 on sale for $258. Just thought I would tempt you! You have been having so many driving adventures. I'm glad you got there safe and sound.

The only reason I'm holding back is that I really don't have a place for it :(

I had to take a rest day. The smoke from the Rim fire has been awful today :(

I will do a Cathe indoors tomorrow.

Jane- I hope that its not too hot at your house. Well done on your workout!

Alisha
 
Happy Monday Morning!

Working from home this morning waiting for the a/c guys to come. I'm on the list and they said possibly 10am so about 45 minutes to go. I hope they can get it working at least and then we can schedule a new install if need be. The worst part was yesterday between 3-5 pm. It was so stuffy. I had the windows open but when it's 90 degrees and no breeze what can you do. I did sleep rather well last night without the fans.

Yesterday was a 10 mile run and tonight will be legs.

Alisha ~ Hope you have a great Monday and that the smoke isn't too bad. That must be getting old.

Tricia ~ Hope you had a great weekend!
 
I will do my Cathe workout a little later in the day. I am working from home today, doing paper work. I will do Slide n Glide tomorrow.

Jane- I am so over the smoke! I am impressed that even without your AC that you did your workout anyway. I guess it was probably more tolerable outside than inside.

Tricia- How are you? I hope you had a good weekend.

Alisha
 
I am doing Slide N Glide today and I will do Athletic Step tomorrow.

I will be going to the movies with my brother today.
