STS first time!

[mfv3]

Hey Carolyn-

Thanks for the report haha!

I'll cross my fingers for no rain. That sounds like a fun night.

Thanks for the congrats You are so sweet! I sure hope you're right about the delivery. When I don't feel like working out I tell myself it will make it easier in the end. Hope I'm right haha! I was telling Tony the other night that I can't wait to have our son do Cathe with his mama! He rolled his eyes and smiled.

Tonight was steady and went fast...gotta love that.

Tomorrow is 4DS Lower Intensity Step. Then I have my BF's wedding shower and then work again.

Talk to ya then

Well, up late watching Game of Thrones. Just popping in quick to say hi! Boy, can't think of much else to write though... Have a good night ladies! Hope your shift is going well Marie!

Hi Everyone. Today I did Disc 6 - legs. Have I mentioned that I hate lunges? Cathe was so excited at the beginning of the dvd to get started. I enjoyed the bonus band work at the end. Then I did the extended stretch.

We got 1-1/2 inches of rain yesterday. There were tornado warnings all over the area. Today is cool and breezy. I have all the windows open.

Missy I am so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I hope you are better today. I know what you mean about signing for meds. I bought some Advil cold and sinus and had to show i.d. and sign.

Colleen I know you are happy to have travel fit back. That is too bad that your sister never even tried it. I have never done that one. I keep thinking I should take it to my sisters but I know I won't do it there. It won't take up that much room in my suitcase and I take my own portable dvd player. Maybe next time I go.

Mary I hope your Mothers tests went good.

Carolyn How is the leg today? I guess you are having a family day. My shoulder is fine . So far so good.

We are getting your rain Jean. Pouring buckets. I love days like this! Hunkering down with the family. If only my leg felt normal. I can't figure out what it is. It doesn't feel like a bone/joint thing. Feels like a muscle or a ligament problem. The more I walk around today the more my calf siezes up. I don't know how I will explain this to the dr. He will think I am a nut know doubt.

Time for lunch! I am an eating machine. Nothing better to do on a rainy day!

[gratefuldog]

Did disc 30 shoulders tris biceps. Love it! I wish my arms would look like this all of the time, not just when working out! I did part of the extended stretch in hopes that it would help my leg. When I get better adn am working legs again, I am going to stretch really really really well EVERY time!!!

I have eaten really well today. HOWEVER....we are about to indulge in nachos! What better way to spend a rainy day with the family?! We are going to watch a movie too.

Baseball still has not been cancelled. I am not sure what they are waiting for!

Missy I hope you are able to rest this weekend! Get better soon.

Carolyn- do you think it could have been the meniscus that got damaged? Have you tried googling your symptoms? I love google. I like to call it google-fu. I can learn a lot about some of my issues with it!

Today I did Drill Max leg/cardio premix! Love it! During the firewalker section I started to think about the firewalker tabata Cathe talked about in the new workouts. I can't wait to see what that'll involve! I LOVE firewalkers!

Okay, better get a wiggle on! Gotta get Lydia to my sister for the old updo!

[gratefuldog]

I love firewalkers!!! i can't wait until I can do them again!!! grrrrrrrrr! The research I have done has me stumped! One minute I am thinking collateral ligament and the next pulled muscle!! That is why I need a doctor!! Sometimes I feel like my knee is going to hinge backwards! I have to say, I have felt this pulling and tugging feeling quite often while I am exercising. Even when I am just doing arms! I feel it when I walk across the room. The back of my knee gets all tight and kinda tingly. It usually comes and goes very quickly. This time it just won't go away! I can't wait for my appt!! I have a feild trip to go on on Wednesday. I hope I can do all of the walking.

I forgot about the recital!! Have a blast!!! I hope it isn't too long!

It's a slow afternoon here at work. Patients are watching a movie and I have nothing to chart...amazingly. Ok well I guess I could start charting but the forums sounded more interesting

My friend's bridal shower went well. Wish I could have stayed longer. The food was amazing. Nice refreshing salad and sandwiches on herb bread with some sort of artichoke dip on them....YUM! I was a good girl and didn't take a piece of chocolate to work when offered. I have just been starving today though...ate again since the party. I'm addicted to canned chicken mixed with a little bit of mayo and walnuts and dried cherries....so tasty!

I did 4DS Lower Intensity Step today. That was real fun! I'm really loving the choreography in them. The weights included shoulders, calves and core. Mine calves are so weak- big lol but weak. I was burning so bad! I have had to modify my core moves now too. No more lying on my back. At my 20 week ultrasound, I was on my back too long and ended up fainting after standing up. That was embarrassing! I don't like a lot of attention of me, even if it was nurses and all. It was no big deal. My blood pressure just dropped. It usually runs a bit low and with my uterus compressing my vena cava it just decreased even more. My only concern was my baby and hoping he wasn't affected. Anyhoo, tomorrow is Kickbox So for those of you that have 4DS do you do the DVD's in a certain order? I just followed the order on the back of the box.

Carolyn- It was nice here today which was great, but I'm jealous of your rain. That is always fun! Hope your knee feels better soon. Injuries are so frustrating! I am horrible with them. I remember when I was training for a marathon a cpuple years I had issues with my heel. I was so annoyed with it I would just take a couple IBU and run anyways. Not the smartest plan in the world.

Colleen- Have fun at Lydia's dance recital. If I was having a little girl I would love for her to be in dance.

Hey mamas- Did you give your children choices on what they wanted to do for sports or just choose for them. I'm nervous to have my son be in any contact sport, but what if he wants to do it?! Yikes! Nervous mama already!

Jean- Nice job on legs and way to do the extended stretch. I always felt better when I did that at the end.

Alright, guess I better get a wiggle on Time to pass meds.

Marie

[gratefuldog]

wow Marie that must have been scary! You should have told us! We are here for ya sista!

I give my kids the choice of which sport they want to play. Let me rephrase...I offer them the sports that I would allow! lol! My son loves football but I will not let him play! He has begged and begged to play hockey for years. We are finally caving! He is going to do a" learn to play hockey" this summer. Then in the fall he can do a league. I really think that after one round of it, he isn't going to like the early morning ice time. At least I hope! LOL!!! He is so passionate about hockey though. I can't possibly make this choice for him when he feels so strongly. he wants to be goalie, so I am hoping that he will be safte. I am scared to death of neck injuries. now I am freaking myself out all over again! ahhhhh!

Time for supper. Hubby made a soup and a yummy turkey loaf. how lucky am I that he loves to cook on a rainy day?!!!

[mfv3]

Thanks Carolyn! It was pretty scary. My husband said I was out cold for like 30 sec. I have only told my sister and a girlfriend. Most of family and friends would freak out at the story so I didn't want to scare them.

Football and hockey- those were the ones I was talking about! Afraid of them. I'm sure everything will be fine but I feel ya. Not into them! I love your idea of offering them choices I will be taking that tip!

Your dinner sounds so tasty! I just finished some pretzels and hummus and now I want more...glad I didn't bring more.

Gonna go post some more on the forums. Am I a Cathlete yet or what?!
