    Christmas workouts?

    Today I did MMA: Boxing first, then hit a trail for 5 miles with my running group. High Reps is on for tomorrow as part of the Dec 2010 rotation. I was thinking of taking the day off, but I'm just gonna get up a bit earlier so I KNOW I'll be done before my kids get up. I just want to start MY...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/19/2010

    Sorry about having to work today, Wendy. BOO indeed. I'm off with the kids now till school starts again on Jan 3 or 4th...can't remember which. It's one of the advantages of working in the school district. My run was nice, but slower than normal. I used to have a problem with I ended up...

    Hey, Wendy. The whole food thing is hard when you're not at home or in control of the menu. Sounds like you've got a plan. Just enjoy yourself. We're still way better off than most, right? :) First, let me just say I never have DOMS in my quads. These stocky quads are tough to tire...

    Looking for LBB & HR Weight Spreadsheets

    email me at [email protected]. I created a table in Word...nice and simple, nothing fancy. I do this for all of Cathe's weight workouts except for STS (since we can get the workout cards in the Workout Manager). I'd be willing to send it off to you to see if it will work for you.

    Let the Food Frenzy begin, hugh, Wendy? lol Try to enjoy yourself....I'm planning on slacking just a wee bit...A WEE BIT...for the next week. No big all-out 'free day' or anything, but if the occasion pops up then I will enjoy something in moderation. The inlaws were supposed to take me and...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/19/2010

    Not sorry at all that I asked. I AM glad that it's not due to an injury or anything other than someone's stupidity! ;) Listen, I totally GET preferring TM running. When I started running, it was just after DH passed away and my kids were only 3 and 6. I invested in a treadmill (who I have...

    Wendy, you've mentioned a few times before (elsewhere, not on this check in) that you're not running....is there a reason? Teri....LOOOOVE Step Blast!

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/19/2010

    Hey gang! Teri-I answer Cathe all the time, and quite often I also say the 'line' right along with her. Like in Low Max the one interval with the da-dats...the down-downs....at the end she says, "I bet you weren't expecting those..." and I always say, "ohhhhhhhhhhhh yes I WAS"! :) Too funny...

    Gonna go Dr. Phil on my son!

    Pam, I take my kids to places where they help the "less-fortunate". We volunteer at our town's Food Bank and let me tell you...that first trip there was a HUGE eye-opener for them. We volunteer at the SPCA, and we adopt a family here and there throughout the year. We do PIFs, also, randomly...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/19/2010

    I know we sometimes complain about the mid-Winter weather here in the NE, but I also know MANY people have it MUCH MUCH worse than me! :) I love our changes of seasons and wouldn't trade it for the world. Although I do realized I have it 'easy' in that everything we do or have to do is very...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/19/2010

    I'm in the same boat....I workout in my lair starting around 4:30 - 4:45am. So it's important to get enough sleep. Some nights I have to FORCE myself upstairs, and then FORCE myself to turn off my TV. :) Maximum Intensity Premix DONE! I liked the Boot Camp section, especially that very last...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/19/2010

    I lurve me MMA:Boxing also. But WHY are you going to sub? Why not just ADD ONTO it? I think this week I'm also going to play with the premixes. Tomorrow is Intensity and I think I will do the Maximum Intensity premix....have any of you done this, and if so what makes it "MAXIMUM"? Dessert...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/12/2010

    Colleen, that quote in my sig line IS ONE OF MY FAVES of all time. Every word rings so true. How did the house showing go? And what is this Norwex of which you speak? :D Today is supposed to be a rest day, but I meet with my running group on Saturday and I don't want that to stop. ;) So I...

    Excellent article for us happily single ladies

    ooooooooohhh....I like it. I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing that. I started responding by copying and pasting a few lines and making comments, but I realized quickly that I'd pretty much copy and paste the entire article! :D It took me a while (my a marriage of 9 years before DH passed away, 2...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/12/2010

    Wendy, I'm just making sure by BBC you mean Barry's BootCamp? Or is it something else? I have that set but haven't used it in AGES....if this is what you're referring to, are the DVDs chaptered so I can get to just the ab/core work? If it's something else you're referring to, then just ignore...

    December 2010 Rotation Check-in WEEK OF 12/12/2010

    Welcome aboard, Colleen. The more people here, the more likely I am to stay on track with this rotation! :D Wendy, I've found these workouts are a shock too. STS TB, for instance. The workout cards tell me what to use, and that weight would be fine in one of the other meso's, but in TB it's...

    Why can't people follow the simplest of directions?

    I LOVED working in HR. And I dealt with a lot of these very same things. Those that didn't follow directions, misspelled words in their ap/resume, etc went RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM of the pile. I didn't eliminate them completely...they just weren't the first dozen I interviewed or considered! :)...
