Hi Everyone!

I wonder if you all are going to see this?

Today I did Bryan Kest Power Yoga. Boy, it feels good to do that practice. PT went wonderfully last night. I'll try and post later more details. I think this ART therapy is the winning ticket.

Diane Sue ~ I bet you let out a big sigh of relief! I'm so happy for Candy.

Nicole ~ I'll keep your son (Cody, right?) in my prayers. Poor little guy. Enjoy the fieldtrip!

Marietta ~ What can I say you're not only beautiful in the inside, but the outside as well!!!! :7

Susan ~ Do you want me to send that book to you? It talks about fussy babies and routines. I wish I could remember the title.:-( I'll find it!

Hi everyone! I have to go wake my kids up for school. I'm going to the gym for the stairmaster or the elliptical again.

Morning Fitness Maniacs -

I'm back!! This morning I did my new Mindy Mylrea Cycle Circuit DVD. I got this because my bike and elliptical have "dread" factors and I really need to cross train ...so I thought this would help. This is a 60 min DVD that has intervals of biking and then an arm segment with a band that mimics swimming (supposed to be like doing a triathalon) and then leg work with the gliding discs and finally pushups and ab work and cool down stretch.

This was VERY difficult for me today. I couldn't last for the length of most of the intervals. I've never quite used my bike like this either. We cranked the resistane way up and stood up and rode during some of the harder intervals. The music was very much "Cardio Coach" like and the workout was like CC in that you used the 4 levels of intensity and resistance. My face was beet red and I was pouring sweat. I even did about 10 pushups on the floor to see how my shoulders handle it and I also did the planks where your feet are on the discs and you slide your legs in to work your abs. We'll see how my shoulders do!

I burned about 400 calories for this 60 minutes. I then did Baron Baptiste's Journey Into Power Level 2 Power Yoga for 45 minutes. My legs were like rubber during some of the deeper lunges. It was a pretty decent yoga DVD. Good variety. Lots of balances. I'm not sure I really like Baron that much. Maybe he'll grow on me. He has a totally different way of teaching.....as does Mindy. I'm not really sure I like her that much, but she makes some tough workouts. She has a pretty bubbly personality and I'm not used to her language yet.

I also rec'd my other Mindy's. I got Boot Camp, All About Abs, Super Cycle Challenge, All About Legs, and Beyond Basic Gliding. More on those as I do them!

Our trip to Vegas was fun. The DH and I both had stomach flus the entire trip, so that was not very much fun, but at least there are tons of large, clean bathrooms in Vegas. The weather was pretty chilly for me. I never really could get warm between the freezing casinos and cooler temps outside.

The good news is that we had our "luckiest" trip ever. The DH hit for $1000 the 2nd day there with a Royal Flush on Video Poker. On Monday, I was on fire! I hit for about 700 bucks on a Diamond slot machine. It kept giving me a couple hundred a pop and since then I hit for another $500 on another machine. Since my luck was on the upswing, I went in the High Limit area and played a $5 slot machine and hit for $1600!! Later that day, I hit for $700 on another Diamond machine. I had a GREAT day on Monday, but once that stroke of luck wore off....we had to stay busy playing black jack so we didn't lose all of the money we won! LOL! At least I learned how to play Black Jack this trip.

Since I won some money, I treated myself and bought an $83 tee shirt from the Hard Rock. I've always wanted an Ed Hardy Tee and they had them there....so I caved. The one I really liked was $250, but I couldn't justify that much money for a thin baby doll tee shirt!

Charlotte- I burned those other 2 Buckcherry CDs this morning while I was working out. Can you please shoot me your addy again so I can get those off in the mail to you? thanks! Did you get the first one? Do you like it?

Hi to everyone else........sorry this is so long.....lot's to report. I haven't had time to read anything yet, so I've got some catching up to do. I probably won't be able to though for a couple days. I've got to take care of a lot around here.

I'll check back later. Have great workouts everyone. Gee...I wonder if I'll have a job next week. My hospital was on the news yesterday and the changes are starting. They are closing all kinds of stuff at the hospital. It's scary.
 
I love this new checkin area! How cool!

Lora - glad to see you're back! Great workout!!

Dallas - I love Bryan Kest, he is awesome. I need to start doing his workouts again.

Today is my rest day, hope you all have great workouts!
 
Wow this is nice to have this area for check-ins. Today I have kickmax on the rotation ut I am thinking I want to do something different. So maybe another outdoor run. Then I think I will do ctx upperbody.

Dallas-Ashley is doing well. She will have a MRI again to check on the status of things.
Nicole-Sounds like you have got a lot of de-cluttering done.
Susan-Your job sounds interesting. DO you like it?
Marietta-Great pics! You are one fit Lady!
Debbie-Enjoy your rest day:)
Charlotte-Soon I will get someone to take some pics and I will send them out to you gals.
Lora-Sorry you were sick on your trip but sounds like you still had fun.
Christine-When does your job end?
Diane SUe-That is great news about your daughter!!!
Sabrina-How are you doing?
I will try to check back in today. I am running my friends soft serve yogurt business and my own right now. He is in china for a few weeks. His employees are great so it's pretty much been me going in and staying on top of the books and the ordering.

Terri
 
Good Morning!

Yeah! I like this too - no more threads getting lost in the shuffle!

I'm all dressed and ready to Yoga, but the ole energy level is shot. Adding running to P90X is wiping me out. *shrugs* I figure I'll get used to it soon. I'll add it on Saturday or Sunday.

Terri - job ends July 7th. Not soon enough :) A lot of the workload has been switched over already, so we're BORED! (which explains my frequent posts!). But, hey, I'd rather work through to July to when the girls are out of school.

Lora - Oh yeah, sorry to hear you were sick, but glad you had a good time in Vegas!!

Dallas - so happy to hear your PT went well last night! You'll be running with me soon! :)
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Yesterday I did a challenge circuit and 4 Imax 2 blast moves. Today I am doing extended lowmax.

Lora,

I pm'd you.

Terri,

Can't wait to see pictures. You have made me wait a long time so I think I am due to see you!!!!!

Christine,

My energy is not good today either, but Cathe will keep me in line. I will do fine once I get going.

Diane Sue,

So very happy to hear the good news about your DD! Wonderful it is not cancer.

Debbie,

So what are you gonna do on your rest day today?

Dallas,

Hope you have a nice day!

Nicole,

Hope your son feels better.

Marietta,

I sent you a email this morning.

Charlotte~~
 
Hi everyone,

I really like this new section for check-ins. I'm glad Cathe is so responsive to us!

This morning I did SH-Chest, Back and abs. Boy, the planks were difficult today. I think because my arms were so tired. Later, I'd like to do some cardio. Maybe a walk with baby!:)

Dallas, if you dont want to send the book, maybe I can see if my library has it. Just let me know. Thanks SO much for your help. Hey, did you see? I went back to the tread and posted his picture.

Terri, yeah, I do like my job for the most part. It’s just as fulfilling as it used to be. I used to travel all over the US training sales reps and calling on accounts. One of my biggest territories is where you live ~Denver and Boulder.

Marietta, I'm going to email later.

Nicole, let us know how your son makes out this afternoon. Enjoy the fieldtrip!

Diane Sue, I'm SO glad your dd is doing better.

Debbie, you've encouraged me to start stretching. I rarely take the time to do it.

Lora, I'm glad you found this! Lots of luck on your job.

Gotta go for now. I'll check back later.
Susan
 
Morning ladies!!

I was gone all day yesterday and never got back here to see what was going on.

Lora--Sounds like you had a GREAT trip!! Glad you had some good luck. Too bad about the stomach flu though.

Susan--Thanks for the donation!! I am going to try my best. I need to get my donation page moved and put with all the others. I will have to look into it.

Nicole--Have fun on the field trip and let us know how it goes.

Terri--I am doing ok. Still fighting with a headache every morning (worse than usual). Let us know about Ashley's MRI and what the doc has to say.

Dallas--Do post more details!!

I plan to get over to the track and train again this evening. I hope it goes well. I have to get going so I will see you ladies later.

Hi Christine, Debbie, Diane Sue, Charlotte, and Marietta. I hope I didn't forget anyone, if so I am sorry!!

Have a great day!
 
Good afternoon
This morning I did Turbo Jam Punch, Kick and Jam w/u and cardio then I did LowMax cardio and stretch, I followed with Ab Ripper X and Bowflex resisted crunches, barbell rollouts , and wood chops on thew ball. I have spent the afternoon outside weeding flower beds and cleaning up. It was so pleasant out. I bought my bunny a harness and my granddaughter walked around the yard with him. It is beautiful weather here today.

Susan, that is such an adorable picture.

Lora, it sounds like you had a fun trip. All those winnings. I hope things go well for you at work.

Hi to everyone,

Afternoon Everyone!

We've been outside all day! It's absolutely beautiful here. My kids have been digging holes for the flowers we don't have yet. lol! I have to go buy some flats soon.

Lora ~ I didn't know you were back. Sorry, I started the thread. I was excited about our new forum/check-in place. Glad you had such good luck!!!

Susan ~ I saw the picture. He's such a sweetie pie! I wish I could come over and hold him.
ETA: Here Susan. I have the second one Healthy Sleep..He must have written another one.

I can send it to you....it's no problem.

Debbie ~ Lora gave a review awhile ago about a Mark Blanchard. I think his yoga series will be my next purchase.

Christine ~ I can only hope I'll be running with you soon! I'd like to get the trainer for my bike. That may be a good way to ease back into things.

Charlotte ~ I love the extended LM. Is that Pinky's version?

Terri ~ You are going to be very busy! Good for you for still getting your workouts in.

Sabrina ~ I'm sorry. I still have to make a donation. Is there still time?

Diane Sue ~ I hear you on the weather! Beautiful! The only reason I'm in the house is to start dinner.:-(

I got to the gym again with my friend. We did 35 minutes on the stairmaster this time. We wanted to save time for legs and abs. I did several leg machines (3 sets each). We started abs and she said what are you doing? I was doing some ab moves from CM and BC. She was like that's tough!}( Hopefully, I'll make her a Cathe-convert soon! }(

The PT last night was called Active Release Technique (ART). I tell you it hurts like he**, but my foot feels so free the next day. It's hard to explain. She says she's breaking up scar tissue. She also brought out this metal device she scrapes across the top of my foot. That didn't feel so hot either. However, she's doing something right!:7 Finally! I can start adding in lunges and squats next week.

Sorry so lengthy! Have a great evening everyone!

Dallas
 
Great workouts Ladies!

Dallas, that is awesome news about your foot! I know how excited you must be! Yes I am busy but I will make my workouts a priority. I just don't like missing any. The weather was great here today as well. 80 plus degrees!

Diane Sue-Sounds like you had a great day !

Sabrina-How are things going?

Nicole, Debbie, Christine,Lora, Charlotte and Susan Hope everyone has a great evening :)
