Xers Today is Tuesday!!!

Hey Gang:)

How's everyone, we been very busy so much mail to get out to our memembers. Anywho, thought I check in before leaving for today. This morning, I did Imax 2 it was okay, I didn't have tons of energy, but I made it. Night night:)
 
Cardio Fusion All Step


How's it going all? I seem to get in here to late at night so I'm trying for a bit earlier this evening. DH just called and is still on a job so I'm safe for now:p


Wendy, I cannot believe you were exercising at 2 o'clock in the morning! I would be a wreck the next day. So I see Phil is still on the naughty list. The one thing I find with my DH is that he gets put on the naughty list and just acts worse. Why is it when we get put there we feel bad and apologize and they just seem to get meaner. I guess we hurt their feelings, not that they'd ever admit it:p Who is Anthony Bourdain? I'm guessing he's another news anchor. Having internet troubles are you? You must be as skilled with your texting as I am. I need to get a Blackberry so I can type a little faster. I'm not fast by any means and I'm dangerous when I'm driving and texting because I can't do it without looking. Hope all is fixed soon and you're back for a chat. Maybe earlier than 2 a.m.!


Jeanette, You still have snow up there? It has been 80 here for a week and a half now and I just can't picture it cold anywhere. We are supposed to get clouds on Saturday but that's about it. I hope the snow was cleared enough to get a couple of holes in. Is your head better? You do need to take it easy so you can recover fully. Ha! This coming from me:p Any camping trips coming up or rides on the Rhino that don't involve freezing water?


Lea, Glad to see you snuck in! I see Eoinn is still romancing you:) Yoga is the one thing I'm lacking in this rotation:(


Debra, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the time of your post this morning. Isn't that a bit early for you? Do you think it has anything to do with XDH upcoming visit? At least you have CBL to keep you occupied while XDH takes DD out and about. All I have to say is that JT brings sexy back, if you know what I mean;)


Traci, Isn't IntervalX+ a great workout? How are you liking the ten minute trainers? I thought about it just for the yoga alone. I of course would use them as add ons but I wonder if the weight ones are worth it. Yikes! Wendell's dentist bill is outrageous!!! I keep trying to convince DH that his work really spoils him with benefits. Our dental coverage is great and I think we take it for granted. As if you would offend anyone. You are the sister that tells us the whole truth and nothing but. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, right?:D


Sandra, Isn't that UB+ great? I really leaned out in just the month of doing the lean rotation. I never tired of doing the third Phase because it was all unique moves. The Clean Eating mag is a keeper for sure. I made the orange glazed salmon and it was yummy:9 I didn't make the glaze with the tahini and I didn't cook it in the micro. I just mixed all of the ingredients and dumped it on the salmon, popped it in the oven and voila! Sorry, I didn't get the BB bands so I don't know what each colors strength is.


Laurie, Yikes, that's one busy night! Aren't sports just great?:p You have to make the orange glazed salmon. I wrote in Sandra's post the changes I made and it was great:9
Is it still chilly there? I hope it will warm up soon. It has been so hot here and my cousin from your neck of the woods is coming to visit. We're supposed to get clouds for the first three days she's here. Of course it will be 70 at the coldest which is tropical for her:D


Tracy, Yeah, B&B for the last time:D I actually didn't mind that one but it was always nice to say you were doing a workout for the last time. That means you're getting close to the end. Have fun at class, if that's possible.

Teddygirl, Glad you are still pushing play:) How are things in your world? Have good evening!


Well, I'm off to start on dinner. I have a killer headache and I'm not too hungry but I do have a family to feed:p

See you all tomorrow,

Nicole

Feel the burn!!!

Finally back for a chat...What a busy day...Did I get anything done??? I am not really sure...lol. I did get some laundry done...and I prepared for my presentation for Friday's class...I had a lovely date with Eoin....I helped DD with her hour and a half of homework...I got my hair done...put some songs on my MP3 player...and I guess that is about it. Doesn't look like all that much when I write it down...LOL!

personals...


Wendy...
My dear...glad to see you back to your U.S. schedule...That's the Wendy we know and love!! Up exercising in the middle of the night like a good girl. Hope your internet service gets fixed soon...We don't want you to wear out your thumbs...It could impede your performance on Plyo later....lol. I think your late night snack was better than mine, since I ate a bagel...which was actually really good.


Traci...
Okay...Twist my arm...I will get the 10 minute trainers..and maybe some new clothes, too....before XDH's money runs out...LOL! And there is NO WAY IN HE!! that XDH will be at my house for me to even need to sneak out for a little nookie. He is staying at a hotel. I don't care how big this house is, he isn't staying here! He will have the Diva Saturday night through Monday afternoon...so I will have plenty of time for any necessary lubrication....lol.


Sandra...
Yes...the birthday...it is all DD can think about! Has your DD tried Club Penguin yet?? That is one of DD's favorite new websites...It's pretty cute like Webkinz. I figured as long as you were cleaning your house you could come on down and do mine too! I am dreading XDH's visit...but not as bad as last time. I am hoping things just go smooth for everyone involved. We still haven't worked out the whole separation agreement thing yet due to some unforeseeable things going on at his work...I think things will be better between us when all of that is worked out. At least, that is what I am hoping. I can tell you are done with the dissertation for a while since you have posted about 10 times today...LOL! Glad you had such a good...even though tiring workout today! You must get PY4H2...maybe we can get it through US Amazon and ship it cheaply to you...Hmmm.... And I can't believe you guys didn't know what color magenta is...Go and look in your DD's crayon box, dear woman. Thanks for the salmon recipe...I love yummy fish!


Lea...
Hope all is going well with you...How is the back holding out?? Glad you enjoyed Eoin this morning...Have you ordered PY4H2 yet?


Jeanette...
Sorry you are still feeling a bit puny. It takes a while before you will be back up to full steam. It is frustrating, though, when you are trying to workout! Yes...got my hair done so that you all wouldn't see all of my dark roots...LOL! You may have some time while you are here for a little golfing...since you will be here a couple of extra days....CBL offered to take you out if you want.


Tracy...
Good luck on getting caught up on that missed class. My professor has us teach the class, so I never get behind...I am usually pretty ahead because of that. Although, I think I am the only one!!


Laurie...
There are plenty of times I am thankful for only having one child....It really helps not having to be 2 places at once! Especially without a DH around. Come on....a porn queen like you should be able to use those ankle weights on KM!!!


Nicole...
Glad to see you around today...I guess you have finally kicked that darn flu to the curb! No my dear...I am sure the post wasn't as early as you think....Just because of the darn DST...You have to change it on your profile to see the accurate time of posts. How was Cardio Fusion?? I haven't done that one very much. I am certainly not looking forward to having XDH in town...but obviously it is important to DD. Ugh. Hope that headache gets better!!


Teddygirl...
Waving as you fly by!!


Okay...I think I am done for now...Hope everyone has a great evening!!

Debra

To be a part of this Dance even for a moment is an unfathomably huge gift---Eoin Finn

Skipper hooked me up!:D He was on the phone with our ISP and managed to get the computer connected despite the ESL barrier. I wish they didn't outsource customer service!!!!

I still have to do Plyo tonight. I am so tired though. I'm thinking of subbing it for something like LIC cardio only.}( :7 ;) Oh, I'll just push play once I'm finished with personals. sigh

Jeanette: I was wondering what happened to you last night. I was kinda worried that cold reared the worst last night. L&G isn't easy for me either. I don't care what Super Sonic Sandra says!!!:7 You're cracking me up about having the Captain (my nickname for your dh) look in the mirror. I was reminded of it when the Skipper came upstairs after C&B tonight and asked me if his abs looked any different. Uh... What do you say to a SKIPPER? I told him to leave me alone. I was trying to nap. Hello! He knew I was awake till 3 AM!!!

Lea!!! So glad to see you post today!!!:7 Don't you know, Anthony is one of my lusts in life? It's his personality for sure! I will check out his site and vote. I was hoping someone from Thailand would submit a video clip. I would love it if he showed people the real Thailand vs. the tourist sites.

Um Debra: You DO have my cell phone number! Give me a ring if you get bored in the middle of the night. Believe me, if I'm sleeping, I won't wake up and answer. Now, the Skipper might.}(

Traci: Oh, hon! My first thought was: I am SO HAPPY Traci already bought her ticket!!! My next thought: I doubt she'll be able to cancel her reservation!:eek: Then I realized how SELFISH I was/am. Finally I was so sickened to hear WB's proposed dental bill!!! Could you get a second opinion? Maybe with a teaching school?}(}( Consider it giving back to the community. A kind of charitable thing like donating your body to science.:+ Geez! Yes, didn't you think it was odd how I looked so awesome after painting? Well, you've caught me! I can't hide anything from you!!! I wasn't really painting. I was with Tony filming lower body! Shhhh! Don't tell Skipper!!!!:+ ;) LOL reading your italicized disclaimer at the end of Debra's post. Don't worry. I used to be a democrat before I went over to the dark side.}( So what did the poopy diapered men win? Baby wipes?

Sandra: Phase 3 of X+ sounds tempting considering they're shorter! Maybe I'll preview a few of them at Debra's house. See my question to Laurie down below. Wouldn't it be funny if your bands were really purple?!?!?!?! Guess which Wendy is here today!:p }( Oh! Thank you so much for the salmon recipe. That does sound good. I will try it this weekend!!! It's settled. I'm going to use the chicken stock for the brown rice.

X Porn Queen Laurie: Too bad you couldn't have just ran with your dd before taking her home. That would be 24 times around the track. Sounds like work to me!!! Do you think subbing X+ workouts for Phase three would hinder, maintain, or make gains? Would I have to do anything crazy like add an additional 30 minutes of IMAX everyday?

Nicole: Do you really think STS will be ready by May? That would be so cool! What did I miss? I didn't realize your dh's job was in jeopardy. No, the Skipper isn't on the naughty list. I wasn't upset with his change in plans. See, I CAN be reasonable.:7 This is how dh responds to being on the naughty list. He goes out to the B.A.R. with the guys from work for lunch or after work. It kills two birds with one stone. He knows it pisses me off. And, he can avoid confrontation for a couple of more hours. I yell something like, "OMW! This room reeks of alcohol!!!!" When in reality, he might have only had a few beers and an appetizer. LOL (I have a nose that can sniff out any alcohol he may of had at lunch, even if it's a half of beer!!! Strange, but true.) Then, the next morning when his senses return (he's in the mood for luv }(), he'll clean up the house and make homemade pancakes or waffles for everyone. He'll be as nice as possible to get me in bed!!! Of course, that never works!!! You'd think he'd learn that by now! Later in the day, I'll ease up and actually get to the point where I let go of all anger. When everything is calm and peaceful, usually takes 24 hours of him trying to woo me, I ask questions. He answers. I explain my side. Everything is now centered again. Has your dh NOT learned the wooing part yet?!?!?! Does he need a "Got to have a Wife for Life" Boot Camp?!?!?! Rule #1: You can't argue with a woman and expect to win, even if you're right!:7 Now, I say this with love: STOP Texting and just DRIVE!!! Don't you want to outlive dh!!!!}( :+ ;)

Traci::p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p A new low? I thought I was already there!:+ :+ :+ Why, of course the X bands are special. They are specially kissed by Tony before shipped to every X graduate.:+ ;)

Hi Teddygirl: Popping in again. What workouts have you been doing lately? Gymstyles at a decent hour, I hope!!!

Okay, I guess it's time to push play. It is 11 o'clock at night!

Hi to Kim, Carol, Christiane, Mia, and Stacy. Don't want to forget anybody. But, if I had, sorry. I'm really tired!

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Hi ladies,
Had a decent day at work, came home and then played 9 holes by myself at the golf course. I really surprised myself after the long golfless winter. I still have my lousy swing. It's true. It was a beautiful afternoon and I thought it would be easy cardio, pushing my cart along. Turned out to be just right. Think there was only snow near one hole on the front nine and I hit my orange ball right into that one snowbank and lost the ball. Oh well, someone will find it after the snow melts. I didn't keep score or anything, just played and enjoyed my time.

Laurie, by now your evening activities with the girls are over. Hope all went well. Nice when you can share the responsibilities with your DH. That's great that DH has started sewing. I assume it's your new dress? Re: the colored golf balls, yep, I was playing with my bright orange ones today and still lost one in a snow bank. The prison has several generators but one really big one that carries most of the institution. When power is interrupted, the generator kicks in from 30-60 seconds later. The electric fence has a separate generator too for safety in case the other generators don't start up.

Sandra, I think we should consider a Canadian retreat next year. Cycling thru Banff sounds absolutely wonderful! Unless of course there are 20% hill grades. Yep, I'm usually the baritone in this group. It's 9 p.m. right now and you guys are all tucked in tight. It's probably a good thing that I can't post from work or I'd get nothing done. My colored ball just drilled right into the snow and I couldn't find it. Maybe it only works on frozen hard snow. Your memories of bike riding at an earlier point in your life sound so good. I sometimes have to tell myself to stop and look at the cows and horses. Quit riding so hard. Smell the cow manure on the road. You know. Mmmmmm, your PB CC Brownies, those were sooooo good when I made them at Christmastime. My buns have enough padding on them, thank you very much. Your plan for Banff sounds fabulous!!! I'm in! You've got the whole scenario painted pretty darned well. That would be Tecate beer in the ice chest, right? LOL about the forums imploding!

Traci, how was Wendell's golf game today? Hoping he had a great time with it. I had a few, okay, more than a few mishits, but no way did I ever completely miss the ball, so guess I'm improving

Nicole, so you're expecting STS by the middle of May? My guess is mid-summer. It's been in the 60's here lately so snow in town is about all melted. Doubt we will get much more cold weather. I'm sure ready for spring. It's been a long winter for us. May have to plan a Rhino ride soon, maybe this weekend. Thanks for reminding me. It doesn't take much arm twisting for DH to get the Rhino loaded up. Don't think there's the ice now that there was in the pics that I shared. Orange glazed salmon sounds wonderful. What makes up the orange part of it? Hope you got rid of the headache.

Tracy, thanks for the encouragement that I'll get better soon. I felt pretty crappy this morning, but ended the day feeling much, much better. I just have to watch I don't jump back to too much, too soon. Congrats on last time for B&B. Such a nice feeling. Do you think you had better results that your first round?

Latrese, missed you popping in this morning. Hope all is well in your world. Did you get a ton of snow? How's your Ted?

Debra, you just keep telling yourself that even if it doesn't SOUND like you did a lot today, it WAS a lot. Thanks for CBL offering to take me golfing. Does he like to golf?

Wendy, I know all about talking to customer support from another land. Remember all the time I spent with the Dell people with my first laptop? Oh, that was probably while you were gone. Yep, got a new laptop for Christmas, but the keyboard quit communicating about a week later. Gotta say Dell's CS was good though, and I didn't have to struggle too much with the accents. Love your new name for DH - the Skipper. He goes well with the Captain. Now I'm thinking of the Captain and Tennille. Oops, dating myself again. LOL about sniffing out the alcohol. I need to quit giving in so easy. Our spats don't last long at all. I need to work it more, work it more, work it more. I'm more of the non-confrontational type myself, unless it comes to DH bringing home more "treasures". ,Sunday when DH went to town for some groceries, here comes this guy that is bringing a camper shell to the house to drop off. Said DH wanted it. Right, and needed it like a hole in the head. We already have one camper shell sitting on the property and a pickup bed, and ...... I did confront him (DH) on that one right away. He ended up taking the camper shell from the guy, but promised me it would be gone in a week. I need to start nag.. I mean reminding him of his promise. I swear it's a sickness that these guys can't leave stuff alone and think they've got to have what someone else's wife has been nagging them about getting rid of. I tell him he's hoarding. So far he hasn't mentioned all of my DVD's as they are neatly out of sight in a cabinet. I'm no dummy.

Well ladies, got to go now. Look forward to tomorrow and hearing from everyone again. What a life, huh?

Jeanette :)
