Good morning... Becky, I read your post from last night about bedtime...LOL.... DH got up at 3 instead of 3:20, he just woke up and when he got up, I woke up. Oh joy! I feel okay though because I believe I was asleep before 8:30 last night. I started work at 3:30 and worked 'til 5:30 and will go back at 6:30 so that'll give me two hours over today.

I am feeling yesterday's w/o in my chest and tri's. I am considerably weaker than I have been in my upper body I guess due to neglect in September. We have to be careful not to lose any of our lower body gains this month.

OK, talking about smoothies... this may sound weird y'all but I have another idea. Sweet potato smoothie... okay, don't say eewwww all at one time!!!:+ Think about it, we make sweet potato pies, I even have a no bake sweet potato pie recipe that calls for vanilla pudding, etc., so why not a sweet potato smoothie with van. pro. powder, some splenda and cinnamon and sk. milk? I think I'll "bake" (I really zap it in the microwave) today and freeze it and try it tomorrow. I'll let you know.

Kali - good luck today, I'll be thinking about you as you start your new job. I know you are excited!! :) :)
 
Thanks Jane!

Good morning everyone!

I'm getting ready to do SB and Coremax1 and I'm off for my 1st day at work! I'll miss you guys while I'm gone! :-( I'll be back when I get home. I work until 2:30.

Hi to Wendy, Charlotte, Terri, Becky, Lori, Jessica, Missy, and Candace! Hope I didn't miss anyone!

TTYAL,
Kali

Good Morning Ladies,
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!:+ Let me know how that goes,Jane.I gotta go back into the other thread and get that recipe for the apple one.Prehaps I will do some apples this weekend:)
Good Morning Kali.How are you?

I worked the night shift so I have been up for a while but I did get a fair bit of sleep last night.The worst part of this shift is from 7-8, when I am waiting for someone to come in and releive me.
My legs are sore from yesterdays run.Whats up with that? I think it is b/c I took the run outside and its probably been a month since I ran outside. I know todays workout is C&W and something else.

Today is DH and my anniversary.:) Been married for 4 yrs today.Those 4 yrs flew.I don't think we will do anything today b/c I am working tonight so maybe we will do something this weekend.I don't have a clue what to get him.I wish we weren't doing the present thing, just a card is fine but he ALWAYS buys me something.
Must get my things together and hope my releif comes in soon.I don't think I will be in bed all day but Im gonna crawl in for a couple of hours.Oh...its gonna be sooooooooooo nice!
Lori:)
 
Good Morning Jane, Kali , Lori and everyone who follows!

Good luck at your first day on the new job Kali !!! I hope you love it and have fun! You'll be missed here though!!

Lori , Happy Anniversary!!!! I hope you get to do something special to celebrate!

Jane, I didnt' think ewwwwwwwwwww.......the smoothie WOULD probably be very similar to pumpkin once it's jazzed up with cinnamon, etc...
Let us know!;-) I'm going to buy some pumpkin today. Do you just freeze canned pumpkin? How much in one smoothie??

I slept great last night too but didn't get to bed until 11:00 because dd and sil stopped over. But by last night I could feel some DOMS setting in and today, EEEKKK.......I am having my own little DOMS party!!!!!! YES, I lost strength last month and WANT IT BACK!!!! Even my abs are sore today, what's THAT about????:eek:

Anyway,I'm GLAD there are no weights on the schedule today and soon I'll decide on my step workout and will report back once it's over with!!

Have a great morning everyone! :)
 
Good Morning Ladies,

Jane, the sweet potato smoothie sounds delish! :9

Lori, hope your relief comes in ON TIME today so that you can get home and hit that bed!:)

Kali, best of luck today hon! You'll do GREAT!!!

Becky, take a Tylenol and get rid of that nasty ol' DOMS!

My plan for today is to do some weights and some cardio but not quite sure what yet....

Gotta go make my java now!

BBS!:)
 
Good morning girls,


Today I am feeling chest and tris big time! That tape is a killer for me! those pushups are brutal, and let's not mention that band!:p Well today I will do the bike and the two coremax segments in between calming these kids down that I will have this afternoon.


Jane- I know what you mean about that soreness. I am weak in my upperbody,cause I had to keep going down in weights. I don't have an opinion on that smoothie because I haven't tried it, but it's got my curiosity up.

Kali- Good luck on your job today! We seem to get off work at the same time almost. Will talk to you this afternoon.

Lori- Happy anniversary girl! Hopefully you will get to do something this weekend.

Hey Kim!

Hope you have a good day at work! Will you be able to get your work out in at a decent hour tonight? Hope so! It's so much nicer when you are not STARTING a w/o at 8 or 9pm huh? :)
 
Becky, I use a cup of pureed pumpkin... I'm sure you can use the canned. I have pumpkin coming out of my ears right now because my dear MIL is canning it like crazy!! She loves to do stuff like that.
 
My brain is telling me to get my work out out of the way but my butt won't get off this d@mn chair! (except to get a cup of coffee!) :p
 
good morning, ladies! How is everyone this morning? Chatty as usual, I see! :7 I feel like I am missing out on so much when I am not here! :-( I missed you guys.

Kali, good luck with your first day! That is so exciting!

Wendy, how many coffees have you had already today? :+

Jane, I love everything pumpkin! I make pumpkin bread, pancakes, muffings, cookies, you name it! This is my favorite time of year! I love everything squash!

Lori, congrats on your anniversary, that rocks!

Becky, I will be feeling your pain here shortly. I am doing GSC&T today because I didn't do anything yesterday. I was SO TIRED! I haven't slept in almost 3 nights so yesterday I was ready to pass out. I am going to have to modify the rest of this week so I can get back on schedule with you all! :)

Okay, we just got a 50" screen tv yesterday. DH has been begging for one for as long as we have been married and we couldn't afford it. Well, now we can afford it so I told him that if he saves up his money he can go and get it. I have never seen a man find so much money so quickly! He went through our garage so that he could sell stuff on ebay and within 2 weeks, he had enough money to but it with cash! I am stunned! It is so cute, he is acting like a kid in a candy store! :7 :7 :7 He was up until 3 last night so that he can play Halo2 on a big screen! He is cracking me up! :+ Any other DHs with electronic device obsessions?

Missy
 
Missy, my DH is dying for a big screen tv too! 50' won't cut it in our tiny living room though. He'd settle very happily for 40 or 42! What is it with men?? lol Ofcourse, we are all obsessed with Cathe BUT we have a HEALTHY obsession which is the difference, right? :p

ETA: only one cup of coffee so far...getting up to get a second right now infact! ;)
 
We got the 50" in here and DH was complaining that our living room wasn't big enough for it, so I offered to take it back and get a smaller one. I wish you could have seen the look he gave me! He looked at me as though he had never seen anyone as crazy as I was! :+ :+ :+ He sat us all down last night, me included, and "briefed" us on the rules concerning the big screen. We seriously had to raise our right hands and swear to not touch the screen or the stand, to risk our lives protecting it from Logan, our toddler, and to not let anyone come over and watch movies (kids friends) without his consent. My middle son, Layne, is so wonderful. He said, "Daddy is so excited let's all pray and thank God for our new tv!" Isn't that just the best! I wish that my heart was like his! :D

Missy
 
Yeah I think you have to be careful with the screens on those things...with a baby soon to be a toddler and a dog...I wonder if it wise for us to even consider purchasing one until several years down the line...

If/when DH gets his TV, I'm getting every Cathe production I don't have!!! How's that for a deal!? One he doesn't know about yet as I just came up with it right now! }( :p :+
 
Good Morning Beautiful Women,

Missy,

What is with men and tv's? Is it the football, ya think? Hubby wants to get a plasma now. That is so funny about your DH though. Sounds cute though. My DH is bringing home a dresser for our bedroom today. I know he won't want me moving our old dresser out for it so I won't touch it then even though I have all day to do so because I don't mind.

DD had her friends over last night. Two were dudes. I arm wrestled both the guys. First guy got me good and doesn't look that strong..tall and lanky. Second guy was DD boyfriend so I just said it was a tie since it really was and though I could have won with all my determination, I didn't want to make the boy look dumb in front of DD. LOL! My son likes to arm wrestle me all the time because he hasn't beat me yet, but he is getting much stronger and will crush me soon if I don't put more weight on the barbell soon. LOL! I swear one of her friends had me laughing so much last night, I could not stop, but I get like that too when I am overtired and haven't gotten a much sleep as usual this week.

Charlotte~~
 
You know what I think is so funny, I bet you could make some rediculous deal like you getting all Cathe DVDs, go on a $500 shopping spree and spend the day at a salon for him getting a big screen and he would probably say yes! Dan has in no uncertain terms told me that he is now my slave! Oh, the power! What shall I have him to first.....the gutters are due to be cleaned out, I am sure!}( }( }( }( }(

Missy
 
I love that state of delirium where you are so tired but you can't pass out! Everything is funny. It is just like being on pot, only without the paranoia!

How much are you curling now, superwoman???

Missy
 
Hi Again everyone!

I finished my step workout. I ended up doing a mishmosh of the step portion of MIC and a segment from Step works. Was a lot of fun!
My abs really are still sore from yesterday, so instead of coremax today , I think I'll do a stretch segment and add coremax in tomorrow instead!

Now it's off to the shower, then grocery shopping. :p Wendy , I should've asked you to pick up some things for me when you went yesterday!! I'm sure you wouldn't mind! I could've kept Joey for you. ;-)

Happy Thursday everybody!!!
 
LOL Becky and I could have gotten you great deals with triple coupons!!! The sale is on for today still...want me to go get you some stuff? ;)

UGH! I have not made a single move to work out this morning and now I really don't have the time. x( I'll wait until Joey goes down for his nap later I guess. I have decided to do LL and a Low Max premix like I wanted to do over the weekend. }(

Tomorrow I will do some cardio and upper body weight work...Saturday I will do cardio only...Sunday is my rest day and then on monday I will start the rotation.:)
