T-Cake's 2006 Log

[Roonytunes]

Sorry to cut in... I don't think she knows we get in on Friday Night. I'm bringing my son and I won't take him out of school, plus T-Cake has school, so we'll miss the women's. Which kind of sucks. Well, not even kind of.

It does suck the women's is on Friday. I can't decide whether to take the day off and fly in on thurs for it, or just come in on fri night. That's why I asked. Regardless, we'll figure out a way to meet up...FINALLY!

Hooray!

"We're havin' a party... everybody's singin'.... dancin' to the music... on the radiooooooo... we've havin' a party..." :cool2:

I'm such a nerd -- in a Rod Stewart kinda mood today because my radio talk show guys were discussing him today.

Anyway, yes I do recall Ulter saying we'll be in that night. I don't care when we get there, it'll be FUN! I am thinking I might take the following Monday off from work anyway just to recouperate. We'll see!

Today was decent -- kids are driving me NUTS so I'm super happy tomorrow is FRIDAY and they're taking a quiz. That'll shut 'em up!

No lifting today but I did HIIT on the stairmill for 30 minutes this morning. I woke up too late for the spin class but crazy man WAS teaching -- and man, people drop like flies from that room! I never saw him sit down... and only 3 people were cycling (as opposed to the 15 that were there on Tuesday!) Maybe I'll take a class this weekend

I'm off to bed!

Yayyyy! It's hard to try something new, so kudos to you for giving it a shot and keeping up. SEE, I told you that you would be able to keep up without a problem. Did you enjoy it though? For me, it's very dependant on the instructor. There is one that I and I never miss his classes. However, there's another who's eh-okay, and when I do her class, it's just a way to get cardio in and not much else. You should try out crazy dude just to assess how crazy he is

You are one STRONG chica! My joints would fall off with some of the weight you do

ps - when are you getting in for the Arnold? Friday evening?

Yeah I am... well was... VERY picky with my instructors IF I didn't think the class was even half way decent I was gone after about 10 minutes, so ya could say I had my favorites for sure

Hi ya sweetie!!! MIssed ya the last few days

I love quiz days, hopefully it is a long one and you can get some stuff done.

Have a great weekend!

Oh you TOTALLY know the routine! The quiz was a decent length -- I know a lot of the kids won't be pleased with how they did on it and I know it'll bring a lot of their grades down, but they were just RIDICULOUSLY crazy and out of control last week. I was fed up. So happy I at least got to stay away from them over the weekend -- tempted to take next Friday off from work just because I can. But shhhh!

My hubby takes days off for the same reason... or to catch up on grading notebooks and tests. LOL!!! I hope you had a good weekend, and maybe this week the kids will be on their best behavior!

Post-lift cardio: Believe it or not, I did a 60-minute spinning class AFTER lifting legs today. Yes, I'm certifiable, I think! Those classes just WASTE me!

Ok, I amaze me. Very productive, exhausting weekend. All that gym time plus Ulter's birthday and then I cooked so much today, I'm just tired. I'm pretty sure this week I'll take a day off. I have a free pass to Universal Studios so maybe I'll convince Ulter to play hooky from work on Friday and go with me.

Go Bears!

Dear God, I hope so! I'm going to send home grade printouts to parents this week to be signed if they have a D or F. These kids are in TROUBLE. We have the state standardized test in a couple weeks and these kids took the practice science portion with me -- the highest score was a 59%! Most of the kids had a 30% on a multiple choice portion.

Yes, I'm scared. But then again... if they fire me (which they wouldn't do because they know I'm a miracle worker with these kids) it'll be just in time for me to be a trainer and model my little hot ass off or something. I'll sell my story and make some $$$ or maybe just go into pharmaceutical sales... But for now... I teach my little boogers!

 

[sbt2082]

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying spin!!! Going right after a leg workout huh? Now you sound like me... a lil crazy I hear ya on the weekends being go go go... hope you get to relax a little during the week to make up for it

 

[T-Cake]

Hello everyone!

Work is driving me nuts -- the kids are driving me crazy. I didn't even get to go online today or post. This state standardized testing is coming up quick and the school is just out of it's damn mind, I swear.

Anyway -- today was just a cardio day for me. I decided to do a circuit to keep my attention:

15 minutes HIIT on the elliptical machine (Precor)
15 minutes steady-state, full resistance on the rowing machine
20 minutes HIIT ladders/side-steps/kickbacks (L9, 12, 15) on stairmill

Total: 50 minutes

No lifting today -- going to lift Tuesday/Thursday this week because M/W the last two weeks was hella-crowded... and if I go Tues/Thurs this week Ulter can go with me. Yay!

Tomorrow is Day 6 of cardio, so hopefully I can get up in time to do the 5:45am spin class -- gonna get to bed early tonight! Wednesday I can SLEEP IN!

Ok I'm tired today... nap time! BBL!
