naturaltan · 08-10-2006, 07:28 AM

morning couSON

Fitgirl70 · 08-10-2006, 07:33 AM

Morning everyone!!

Didn't bring my journal in with me this morning to log my workout, but I will after lunch. I did:
Mil Press
Lateral Raise
High Row
Flat Bench
Incline Bench
Cable Fly
DB Flys on stabilizing ball

It was all good...worked out with the girl that is going to be my training buddy starting Monday, when we start with the trainer. I figure, if I'm going to do the comp, I need to get serious about my training! Right?

Protein shake this morning post w/o
Green tea and about to have something else...maybe some oatmeal or something
Tuna sandwich and a couple of slices of pineapple, water for lunch

More later....hope everyone is doing well today. It's almost Friday!

Fitgirl70 · 08-10-2006, 07:44 AM

Fitgirl70 · 08-11-2006, 06:36 AM

Fitgirl70 · 08-11-2006, 07:48 AM

Boy, did I have a really shitty day yesterday!! Bottom line... Things will be okay -- sooner or later -- one way or another. At least I pray that all will be fine! I do have my reservations though.

50 minutes cardio this morning
Tried to have a protein shake post w/o, but I guess there was soap left in the blender and it tasted like soap so I didn't drink it. got to work and had some coffee. I know I need to eat, but I'm really not hungry to be honest with you!
Instone Vanilla creme pudding, water
Veggie burger patty w/ mustard and 1/2 whole wheat bun, water to drink
Mixed fruits and more water

Oh yeah, by the way -- this morning I'm back into my size 4's !!!

More later guys. Hope everyone's Friday is off to a better start than mine!

Burner02 · 08-11-2006, 03:02 PM

Good news on the size! Well done!

naturaltan · 08-14-2006, 07:24 AM

Hey couSON ... Mrs.NT did her walk this weekend! 1667 people walked 60km (36 miles) for Breast Cancer. It was something to behold.

I drove my daughter around to the various 'cheering stations' and it was really inspiring to see so many people walking what was taking quite a while to drive. In the end, the group raised 4.5 million $$ for Breast Cancer research

Fitgirl70 · 08-14-2006, 09:21 AM

I am so happy for your the wifey NT. She should be proud! Not many people can even, or even want to donate to worthy causes like that! It is a sight to behold indeed!

I guess now that things have calmed down a little bit, I can share what has happened.
My boys came to live with us almost two years ago, it was their decision and they knew they really needed it because their dad had quit his job, lost his house, his car got repossessed and he was really in a bad place. He was also having to pay child support so he really was in financial trouble. Well, last Thursday, the boys decided they wanted to go back and live with their dad. They said they thought they would have an easier life and would be happier.

As I said, their dad is not that responsible and doesn't push them too hard to do anything or be anything -- we always do and always did. Education is a major concern and push for us. We also make the boys responsible and make them suffer the consequences for their decisions, no matter what those decisions are or how small they are. Well, I'm sure they wanted only to take the easy way out, and I let them. There is no way I could keep them here, if they thought they wanted an easier life, they got it.

My hubby and I told them that we thought they were making a mistake - but we do still love them. Just because they made a bad decision doesn't mean we don't still love them. One day they'll realize what they've done and they may talk to us about it....but who knows. They still have to live with the decisions they've made and they have to learn the life lessons.

OK, enough of that!!!! Although I kinda feel like I've had a miscarriage all over again.

We started rippin' down the wallpaper in our kitchen yesterday...getting ready to finish up our kitchen. It's going to be so nice.

Started with my trainer this morning...my legs are fried already

I have no idea what all we did, but it was a lot -- something like 6 or 7 different exercises and two sets each, plus lunges. Then I did 45 minutes cardio afterwards.

OK, gotta get to work, so I will talk to you guys later.

Let's see, what else????? Oh, I think we're going back to Colorado in a few weeks...probably over the Labor day weekend.

OK, be back soon! Gotta get some work done

naturaltan · 08-14-2006, 09:49 AM

Wow ... you just up and leaving just like that?

Is it anything you care to share as the reasons?

My 2 cents is that you did the correct thing with the boys. Explaining to them the situation and letting the make the decision they wanted.

naturaltan · 08-14-2006, 09:56 AM

I believe we're going to try and do the same walk next year together. Can't let my semi non athletic wife out-do me

That's great NT. Great cause. My mother is a breast cancer survivor!

boilermaker · 08-14-2006, 10:39 AM

Tammy, how old are these kids? Are they really making a decision or are they just looking for an easy way out? I'd challenge this a little harder, myself.
