[Fitgirl70]

Hey Stacey, good morning! How are you today?

TGIF that all I have to say!!

And I'm leaving early because I have a doctor's appt.

 

[JLB001]

Augh...it's yucky outside. and cold!

 

[Stacey]

Morning everyone

Had a great workout last night:

Cardio: 21 minutes on treadmill
~13 minutes was at 12% incline going 3.8 to 3.9 speed
~ 3 minutes at 9% incline going 3.9
~2 minute cool down at 6% incline going 3.9

*stayed on an extra 3 minutes walking and doing the walking lunges like Fitgirl---

Weights:
Shoulder pulldown: 3 sets of 16 (weight at 50lbs, & 55lb)
Bicep Curls: 3 sets of 15 using 15lb
1 set of 8 with 20lb dumbbell
Hammer curls: 2 sets of 15 with 15lb dumbbell
Smith Machine Squats: 60lbs? (think)
3 sets of 10
Leg extention: 50lbs (this machine is different--I can go heavier at Balleys) 3 sets of 12

Abs on incline: 3 sets of 20

Tricep rope pulldown: 3 sets of 15 with 60lbs
then did the butt machine - 3 sets of 15

I kinda was all over the gym last night-- I didn't want to workout last night and my friend got me there..I'm glad I did-- I had no plan--and was just doing whatever...I know I shouldn't --but it was fun-- nice pump!

 

[Stacey]

Morning FG & Jodie!!! I KNOW TGIF~! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for today forever. I'm drinking a Small (tall) starbucks drink right now- I haven't been to starbucks in probably 4 months--it was my little valentine treat!
Its a nonfat soy white chocolate mocha-- no whip--

Yum!

Jodie--IT IS GROSS outside!! It rained on me the entire way to work. Yuck. What are you gonna do on your day off?

 

[Fitgirl70]

OH NICE WORKOUT STACEY

I'm so glad that you did those walking lunges on the treadmill. Did you like it? What incline and speed did you do them at? How many sets?

 

[Fitgirl70]

We are supposed to get snow here today. My brother lives South of me about 45 minutes and he said they already have snow flurries this morning.

 

[Stacey]

Hey FG!!! I was alllll over the gym last night--haha. But it was fun.

The walking lunges on the treadmill--I didn't do like I do walking on the floor-- I took big steps and bent down, just not as far.
I was walking at 3.0 ( I think) and the incline was back up at 7%)

Next time I will go higher on the incline--and maybe walk at 2.5
Will try tomorrow morning. I have to workout in the morning tomorrow since Matt is OFF ALL WEEKEND!!! And I need to keep working out!

 

[Stacey]

My sister and I are talking on AOL Instant messenger--and She JUST told me it is sleeting there. SHE is in College Station (goes to A&M)

 

[Fitgirl70]

Hey, try to start out at a 6.5 incline and drop your speed to 1.5 or 1.6, depending on what your preference is. This will help you get a better lunge and will allow you to slow down a little more to get a better push off of your heels.

 

[JLB001]

Stacey..try this for cardio...

on the treadmill for 35 mins or so

walk for 5 mins at a brisk pace
then get off treadmill and lunge for 30 secs
then run/jog for 2 mins
and repeat for the 30 mins...its killer

Today...I have therapy at 10, then have to do my Valentine shopping at the Mall. After that, my apt is a mess so I need to clean that some. Tonight we are going out to dinner at Morton's. Too crazy to do that tomorrow.

 

[Stacey]

Thanks for the tips girls!!

I need to do my shopping too--plus we are out of everything in the house--sooo I have to do my errands at lunch since I'm getting my hair done.

Thats a great idea Jodie to go out to eat tonight!! I wish Matt & I could~ but he works nights. We are going to a place tomorrow thats in Cypress- and won't be packed at all. I think we are going dancing tomorrow night--not sure- I don't want to---but for SOME strange reason he does, so I am going for him.

 

[Fitgirl70]

Sounds like you guys are going to have a good weekend Stace! Brad and I are having dinner with his sister and brother in law tonight and then tomorrow, Brad and I are going to AutoRama and then to dinner tomorrow night. Sunday is rest day!!! Wooo Hooo

 

[Stacey]

I'm making chocolate cupcakes for my mom & matts mom tomorrow--so we will have to swing by our families tomorrow!

Girl~ Tell me about it--My family tells me that allll the time. I am always looking for jobs--but Can't find one-- I do have an idea to do for the next 2 months!? Just not sure if its safe.

There is this ad for Models wanted--in the adult section--pay is 2000--- for parttime--thinking lingerie models--
I called yesterday and hung up- I told Matt about it--and He said if they put A LOT of makeup on my face--and made me look a little different than maybe he would be okay with it?!!

It is more likely partial and full nudes they are looking for "models" for.

Where all have you checked for jobs? Newspaper? Online?

 

[Stacey]

OHH You think its Nudes?? Hmmmm?? Crud!!

I look on the chronicle.com -- and in the greensheet. I have applied at probably 4 places So Far! And nothing!!!

 

[Stacey]

My bosses baby is in the office (born in November) SHE IS SOOO CUTE!!!!!!!! AWWWWWWWWWWW I WANT ONE!!! LoL

Shes all bundled up soooo cute--I'm gonna go hold her--BRB!! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Man I use to not be like this

 

[JLB001]

Stacey..it's probably nude modeling at one of those seedie little place we see on the side of the road. Don't call....throw it away!

 

[Stacey]

Really?? Damn! Even though I found it on Houstonchronicle.com?

 

[naturaltan]

Anything in the adult section is not for you - you're the IM sweetheart ... heart of gold ...

Although I'm a little more liberal and don't think that all nude modeling is wrong, I'm just pretty sure it's not for you!

Keep searching ... something will pop up.
