X Factor Halloween Friday!!!!

[Fit_mommy]

Hey Girls.

Happy Halloween!

Well y'day turned out to be a rest day. I was in a coma at work for some reason. I just couldn't wake up. I went home thinking I'd nap and go back later with DS for my run but it never happened. I ended up going to the foodstore and by the time I got home and we ate, well...forgetaboutit! It's okay though as y'day was actually SUPPOSED to be my rest day. I was just going to push it off to today for convenience sake. It may be a bit harder to get in my work out today but I WILL do it! If I can get to the gym, I'll run. If not, my plan is to do IMAX 2. It's coming up on the rotation in a couple of days anyway so I'll just do it today instead.

So Joey will be parading around in his school at 10:00. I am dropping him off at his usual time (8:20) and then coming home and my mom will be meeting me here. We will leave here at 9:30 to grab some Dunkin' coffee and go secure a reasonably close parking spot by the school and wait for the parade to start. Must not forget the camera!!!! DH is getting out of work to come watch as well. He'll be meeting us somewhere...

After the parade mom and I will stay on for the party in Joey's classroom. When that is over we will leave as Joey will still have a few hours of school left in the day. From there is when it's up in the air. My mom may hang around to shop and have lunch with me. If she chooses to head home then I will run. If she stays, she may come with me to pick up Joey and take him home with her for a couple hours while I work out so again, I'll be able to run. If she opts not to take him home then I'll nap him and do IMAX 2. When he gets up we are meeting up with mom again but at her house and will trick or treat in her neighborhood and then have dinner together.

Sorry about the long story. I guess you all really didn't need to know the details but I guess I felt like typing!

Jen: Sorry about the bum attempt to work out y'day morning. Somtimes it's just not in the cards. 26 degrees!?!? YIKES! I wouldn't want to work out in that either! LOL Sorry about your sick DS. I hope he's feeling better this morning.

Jacque: So what did you decide to do? Did you finish the BM2 premix or hop on the TM for some Sean time? I was planning to run but as you can see if you read my novel, I nixxed it.

Ang: No, surprisingly enough my legs/butt feel fine this morning and were fine all day y'day!?! I have no idea how I escaped DOMS after doing B&G!? Perhaps it was because I split it up with the Centergy in between! No DOMS from ARX? You are good! You need to move on to the X+ woman! That's very nice of you to try and find a book that help your MIL. I hope it works.

That's all for now...off to get more coffee!

Hey ladies,

MIA x'er here....

as always busy on the home and work front! let's see wednesday i did shoulders and arms and yesterday i did 4ds legs and a 90 min cycle class!!

today i am going to rest because i've been working hard this week and this cold is still just hanging onto me. i wish it would just go because it's draining my energy. i also have a class i am teaching this evening (before taking the kids trick or treating) and another one tomorrow.

my oldest is going to be a werewolf and my youngest will be spiderman. we should definitely have some fun tonight!!

wendy- sounds like a great day for everyone! you will get in imax 2 today, you are a warrior

i hope everyone has an awesome day today!!

Happy Halloween.......

Happy Halloween!!!

Yesterday ended up being step blast. Today will be L&B and abs....just not sure if it will be ARX or not. Whatever I decide, it will be done by noon so that I will be ready to go trick or treating when the boys get home. Cody doesn't get out of practice until 4:30 and we start with the trick or treating at 5 so there will be some rush time. It should be fun though. Cody almost decided not to go, but he starting feeling guilty about Cam going alone. It's gonna be sad when he decides to hang it up for good.

Wendy - Sounds like you have yourself a plan there. I love IMAX2!
Oh, good idea about X+. I have no idea why I don't reach for those.
Ahhhh - trying to find some peace for MIL is just something I feel I have to do. I'm not sure she will ever find peace.....she has such a clingy personality that I'm not sure it's possible. But, I know this is a tough time of year for anyone who has lost someone in their lives.

Dee Dee - Enjoy your rest day.
I'll bet you'll have a blast with the trick or treating. It is fun isn't it? I love just getting out there to see what everyone else is dressed up as. Do you dress up too?

Hi to the rest of you girls........

I'd better get changed and ready for Tony. BBL

Hi ladies,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I had to be at work early today so no workout for me this morning. Yesterday was Imax Extreme which was pretty fun. I've only been following the circuit rotation for 2 1/2weeks and I'm missing doing heavier weight training. I'm considering switching to rotation that uses the GS w/o's.

My new dishwasher is being installed today-yeah!!! We are having a pot luck here at work (brought Jerod with me) and we will be heading home after lunch.

Wendy-don't forget your camera. It's a first and needs to be recorded. The kids will be so hyped up. Sounds like you have a very busy day ahead of you no matter how the cards fall. Enjoy

Jen-I hope ds is feeling good enough to go trick or treating. Can't miss that! 26 is too cold for me to work out in. I'd be doin' cardio just to warm myself up

DeeDee-you do enough workouts for all of us. At least you are inspiring me to w/o.

Jacque-I'm jealous, my team hasn't been doing as well. It is so disappointing.

Angie-You sound busy today too. I think we all are actually! Nice job keeping up with the X. No problem throwing in a fun cardio w/o!!

Laura-you too need to take pictures of your dear nephew. Sorry about the migraine hangover. Hope you feel better soon.

Shirl-What are you up to today??

It has taken me forever to post this. Sorry if I'm forgetting someone, its getting hectic in here.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy Halloween.

Hi there ladies.

Woke up in the middle of the night with a sinus headache which typically comes during rains. UGH! So no workout for me.

I didn't get the other half done last night either since I had to shop and make potato salad for the potluck here at work today. Then the Sharks game was on against the Stanley Cup winners - Detrioit Red Wings - so had to watch that. And yee haw, they won again. So exciting and crossing my fingers it continues. Sorry Angie,

No kiddies and am feeling kinda Scrooge like for Halloween this year. Just feeling blah and think it is a PMS type thing. I hope at least!

BBL if I have the chance - yesterday I was bragging that I was feeling at least productive and then, Boom ! the problems hit again. Left work feeling yucky due to the issues that came up.

OK - enough griping ! Since I'm being a Scrooge, pics from your little darlings like Laura mentioned would be fun !

Have a good time with the kids !

Did I just see a Christmas commercial???? OMG - I DID! I will be Christmas'ed out by Thanksgiving at this rate. I guess just another sign that retailers are freaking out about the economy.

So here's a treat for you gals.....hope you like it. Cam thinks it's a hoot.
http://www.dedge.com/flash/halloween/
Be careful though - it's addicting.

Laura - Oh boo on the migrane. Hope you are feelin' better today.
Cam is dressing up as a skeletor/mummy thing and Cody is a skeltor/bloody mask guy. Both wear all black and have grotesque masks. They're boys.....what am I gonna do? I liked it better when they dressed up as Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr.
BTW.....the candy thing is out the window for me today and tomorrow. I have been watching it this week and have made some gains there so thanks for the kick in the pants. However, I don't think that kick will reach me this weekend.

Diana - Is Jarod enjoying being at work with you today? No school for him?
I like the GS workouts too. I think Cathe looks awesome in that series!
Did you ever get your X workouts back?

Jacque - Oh, that's OK re: the hockey game. I don't much follow it until they get into the playoffs and then I don't pay a whole lot of attention either. It is cool when the home team wins though.
It's FRIDAY girl - no scroogieness allowed! *lol* Will you be handing out candy tonight or do you have other spooky plans?

Wendy - Hey girl - thanks for the suggestion regarding the + workouts! I pulled them out and did Ab/Core+ in lieu of ARX. It wasn't as torturous as I remember it being, but I wasn't doing the X when I last tried the + workouts either. I forgot there is no leg workout in that series since I was gonna sub it for L&B, but then again, I totally forgot about kenpo+......so, I think that will be in my plan tomorrow in lieu of regular kenpo. It's great b/c I feel like I'm getting more options without cheating.

Jen - How is DS doing today? What's your halloween plans?

Well, I think I'm gonna go and see what I can dress up as. I think I have a witch costume down in the basement somewhere. I don't usually dress up, but I'm feelin' spunky today and I think the boys will get a kick out of it.
I also feel pretty good b/c I got L&B and Ab+ done already too. Now I can go and be naughty right? *lol* Actually we usually go to McDonalds on Halloween. It's one of only a rare handful of times we go there so the kids think it's a real treat. I gotta admit, I kinda like the fries there too - yummy!

Hi to the rest of you Xers.....hope you are having a fabo Friday!!

Ta Ta

Hiya chicas!

Wendy - Oh, I fondly remember those Halloween parades. I hope you enjoy it and get lots of pictures! The kids are so proud of themselves in their little costumes.

Dee Dee - I think a rest day for you is definitely in order! You need to take care of yourself so you don't relapse.

Ang - it's funny, I mentioned to my DD yesterday that her brother might not go out tonight because he's sick, and she said "Awww no, it's not the same without Patrick!" He's 13 and considered not going just because of his age, then he got sick and everything, but he's going now because he doesn't want his sister to go alone (not totally alone though, 'cuz their dad will be with them.)

Laura - it sounds like you're going to have to coerce that co-worker into more walks! Geesh. My daughter is going out tonight as a black cat, and my son's costume is still up in the air! Talk about last minute prep He's got so much army gear and stuff that I'm not worried though. Shouldn't you at least be dressing up the doggies?

Diana - the 26 degrees is precisely why I chose cardio yesterday. How fun that you got to bring your son to work with you! I know my kids would love to see firsthand what I do (until they realized that it's not very exciting, and then my "cool mom" status would fly right out the window )

So this morning I decided to get that yoga in, and boy did I need it. My body was so stiff and tired for some reason, it just felt beat up! The yoga helped loosen it quite a bit though.

Okay, gotta get some work done here before it's time to go ~

TTYL,

Jen

P.S. Hey Jacque! Hope you cheer up and feel better soon! TGIF anyway!!!

Ang, love the holiday smilies!!

Jen .. I do dress the dogs up for Christmas pictures .. but Buster does NOT like it .. he tries to destroy whatever cute thing I try to put him in ..

Buster is about 130 and Toots is about 115 they may could wear some of OUR custumes .. lol!!! Toots is in heat right now so I guess her female doogie bloomers are her costume this year ... she HATES them .. and it doesn't help that I laugh everytime I put them on her .. bless her heart ..

Hey girlies !

Got some stuff done at work but the headache is lingering. Not real real bad like Laura, just very very annoying and achy. Taking the OTC allergy tabs makes me a bit sleepy too so I'm a draggin'.

Did enjoy the lunch - ate like a pig so hope no one else feels like they cheated by themselves ! Even had dessert which was a pumpkin roll with a cream cheese-type filling. Yummy ! Plus a couple of the small Whopper packages of 3 each. So there, I've confessed.

I am planning on having DH take me out to eat instead of handing out candy this year. It is a bit of a pain as the couch is a bit far from the door and the kids get so impatient waiting for me to get to the door that they ring it 2 - 3 times before I get there. Then the dog and the birds start in barking and screeching. AND, I would probably just eat most of the candy anyway since I'm in that sort of mood.

Tomorrow I should be fine <<< crossing fingers >>>. Usually only lasts a day like this.

Cute little Halloween icons Angie - that must have taken some time ! Can't wait to get a workout in, I miss it when I have planned on it and can't do it for some reason. Was supposed to do CTX UB and L&G floorwork. Hope to do it tomorrow and then Sun would be IMax 2. That will help make up for today's lunch !

Heading off to check the OD where I haven't been for eons ! Enjoy the night peeps !
