Good morning!
Good morning to Lisa and all who follow!
I did Butts & Guts this morning. I haven't done it very often but liked it more than I remember. I will be hobbling around tomorrow, however (ouch!) ...
Well, off to work. I'll check back later!

Hi ladies
Kathryn - Yikes, that's a tough start to the week. I have a big love/hate relationship with B&G!
Lisa - hope the stress isn't getting too much for you ...
I did Bootcamp this morning after a few days layoff thanks to my arm! I almost fainted when I finished. Pushed it too hard really and didn't have a big enough breakfast to get through it.
Will probably take a rest day tomorrow as it's my birthday!
Hope all have a good day.

Hi everyone! Ronne, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope that you have a great day, and enjoy your rest. Lisa, did you hear anything about the job? Did he decide to take the contract position? Kathryn, Love B&G! I like when my legs shake! Today I mixed things up, I did Jari's slim and lean. My DH said I was cheating on Cathe! Just thought I would change it up. I have been doing splits, I think I am going to try total body w/o's for awhile, Hope you have a good day. Hello to all that follow. Mary

Hi girls,
I've really been struggling with my eating and have decided to join the T-giving check in for the holidays. I just wanted to let you know so you don't think I've ditched you or anything.
I'm limiting myself to one check-in at a time since I also have a check-in at the Ya Yas. I find that I'm repeating myself way too much when I try any more that that.
Plus the fact that it takes up so much time trying to make it every place.
I like to do a more "focused" check-in from time to time that has a set time frame. KWIM? I'll be back when it's over probably if that's all right?
Keep up the great work everyone!
Ronne, in case I forget tomorrow!

Hi everyone. I did the 4DS Bootcamp circuit lower body premix. Gosh, I really didn't want to workout, and my triceps were still sore (2 days later) so I wanted to make sure not to do UB. I got 20 mins into the workout and really wanted to quit, but thought heck I'm sweaty, might as well continue, and then before I knew it I was done and feeling better for it. But I sure am ready for my rest day tomorrow!
Rhondalyn, We'll miss you, but I totally understand! Good luck with your eating and try to stop by and say HI once in a while, ok?
Mary, It's always good to change it up. My DH can't beleive that I'm not bored with Cathe yet. He doesn't understand how much variety there is, plus I do have my Jari Love workouts (now her's can get boring if you do them too much), and my kettlebells. Things are hopefully improving on the job front and I hope to have a concrete answer on exactly what job DH will end up in sometime this week! At least he has offers (yes that's plural) on the table, but it's irritating working through the large company politics! I don't think we are stressing as much, but I'd love to get settled into my boring life again!
Ronne, Happy Birthday! We may have been doing Bootcamp at the same time today?!?! And we will definitely be resting together tomorrow. We should go celebrate your birthday!
Katherine, B&G always has such a dread factor, I'm sure you will be feeling it! Oh but it hurts so good! I swear there is always part of my body that is "feeling something" from Cathe's torture.

Lisa, Kathryn, Ronne, Mary, Rhonda and all who follow Hello!
Today I did Lauren's kbell dvd and jumped in the shower and ran out the door to pick up my car finally!
I was without my car for 4 weeks today but they did a great job in fixing her up, so no more smelly rental car woot!
I'm trying to soak in as much natural sunlight as I possibly can to help with my mood and its been working. I love the sunlight as I feel it just renews my spirit and revitalizes me so
I was actually looking into getting a lightbox but they are so darned expensive so for now I'll be sitting by a sunlite window reading for 30 -60 m per day
Rhonda I have been looking at that check in also as I'm struggling with my motivation period - its hard I may just join you over there but I have so little time nowadays to post at all

Good morning!
Hi, everybody! I did Low Max today, and wore the 10 lb. vest for all of the intervals (except the last one). I'm really trying to push up my fitness level before the holidays so I can stay fit and healthy throughout the winter.
Ronne, Happy Birthday! Today is the end of my workout week (I take Wednesdays off), so doing B&G yesterday wasn't as scary as it seemed! I try not to do a lower-body workout too early in my "week" because then I struggle through the cardio (and every other workout) until my day off.
Rhondalyn, okay, we can take a hint! I know what you mean about eating. I try to eat well all year long, but the winter (and especially around the holidays) is a tough time for me. I get sick every year, I can't work out, I feel depressed, I eat too much ... but I hope to do better this year. Good luck and I hope the support group helps!
Mary, I haven't done any of my Jari workouts in about six months! But when I cheat on Cathe, it's going to be with Amy Bento instead. I've got to learn the two new step videos that I just received from Collage. Her choreography is so complicated, but it's fun when you learn it. Just takes me soooooo long!
Vilma, I am with you on the winter blues. I know those full-spectrum lights are expensive, but they can really help. Check out www.verilux.com ... maybe one of the smaller ones? I battle the blues myself, so I know how depressing winter can be -- even down South, where we have a bit more sun.
Lisa, any word on the job situation? I hope your stress has been relieved somewhat. Just knowing that there's a job available is a huge relief! I've never done the 4DS workouts (even though I've owned them since they were first released!) ... I seem to put off learning new workouts, but eventually do them and add them in to my rotation. Oh, and I'm feeling the effects of B&G yesterday. Hope I see some effects, too!
Okay, gotta run to a meeting with the accountant ... I'd sure hate to be late for that! Have a great day, everybody!

Hope you have a great day!
Kathryn Next time I do LowMax I 'll need to remember using my vest for it.
Sounds like a grand idea!
I did CCv5 and it was great.
Not much going on here except my son and I drank plant food this morning
Let me c-n-p what I said in another post of mine:
I'm a bit peeved at my oldest at the moment as she put plant food in one of our water bottles last night and left it on the counter and guess who drank it? Yup me and my son. We shared the bottle and added it to some airborne. Me I guzzle it down and noticed a tatse and ds was making faces as he drank his... little did I know it had plant food in it
She comes down and asks me where the water bottle was and I told her we drank it then she tells me it had the packet of plant food that comes with the flowers that you'd buy at Walmart - her BF gave her roses last night.
Thankfully the stuff is nontoxic but not recommended for ingestion by humans - ugh!
I'm sitting here praying my son is not feeling sick
Believe me I tore a new one into her!
So now she's avoiding me and my rants.
My youngest has a low grade fever and its gone down a bit. Hopefully she'll be fine tomorow to go to school.
So that's whats going on at my house today OY!

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a good day. It is a very fall day here, windy and chilly! Vilma, I probably would have been chasing my daughter all thru the house! Hope that illness leaves the house soon. Ronne, hope that you are having a great day! Enjoy! Kathryn, I am humbled and so impressed wearing the vest for LM. I honestly don't think I would be able to do that, except in slow motion! I don't know why I pulled Jari out, I think b/c I have all these other DVD's that I don't do, I feel guilty. It is a bit repetive, tho. I won't be cheating on Cathe for long tho! Lisa, so glad to hear about the offers, that has to be a huge relief for all of you. Kathryn, forgot to ask about your Dad, How was the Bone marrow results? Rhondalyn, I get the food thing, don't ditch us for too long! Well, I have to do some cardio today, I better get busy, I won't be using my vest however!! Have a good day. Mary

OOOOH Vilma! I am sorry, but you wrote that tale about the plant food so well, I'm sorry, but I laughed. And I know you are not finding the situation funny at all. Hoping your young fella is feeling better. And I'm hoping you and your plant food victim son, are both O.K.
Rhonda- I must live under a rock. Where / What is the T thingo check in? Whats it do?
Ronne Happy Birthday!!I don't know how to do flash signs or dancing girls, so I hope plain happy birthday will do. Whats in store for the big day?
Kathyrn - Food food glorious food! I have a sign on my head, it says, "Feed me" So, I do! I love Buts and Guts, have you tried the Leg blast? Its FANTASTIC. Hurts a lot!
Hi Lisa, Mary and whoever else pops in.
I went to the health food shop yesturday, bought some sleeping herbs, Anyhow, I had a chat with the Naturopath, she was very interesting and told me about vitamin B, magnesium both help with sleeping. I had no idea theres so much involved with it, when you take the natural option. I'm going to make an appointment to see her to find out more. Very interesting stuff.
See ya ladies.

Vest and Low Max
I didn't use the vest for the last interval because it's the one where you tap the step and do a roundhouse (?) kick. That would just throw me off balance and wouldn't add any benefit. But it does help the other intervals feel more effective. I don't even buckle it up for many of them, so I can slip it on for the interval and off for the step routine.
Ever since I started fighting the dreaded muffin top, I've had to kick it up quite a bit!
Regarding my dad: He has a meeting with the doctor on Friday and will get the official word then. I am trying to dig for info without upsetting my mother. However, if there's any treatment, its going to be chemo and/or radiation. No matter what, it's not going to be pleasant for them. Thank you all for asking. I'm not going to worry about it (too much) until I know more.
Andrea, the T-thing is for Thanksgiving, that delightful food-based holiday that causes us all to overeat on Thursday (Thanksgiving is always on Thursday here) and regret it until Valentine's Day! I guess there's a support group for those of us who want to fight it this year, but I don't know where it is. As you're down under, you don't need to worry about the arrival of winter and the holiday season!
Vilma, I have a story for you: My mother is a geologist and used some form of acid to clean her mineral samples. Anyhow, she put it in an old contact lens solution bottle and didn't bother to label it. My sister, who wears contact lenses and lived at home back then, nearly used it before finding out what it really was! Needless to say, that discussion didn't go well!
I love my mom a lot, but she does have her moments!
Okay, off to bed for me. Good night, all!

HI everyone,
I have been absent b/c I hurt my ankle. I am not sure how I injured it, but it hurts to go up and down stairs and to jump on it. The high heels are not helping either. Man, as soon as you hit 40 or get close to it, things start to break down for no reason at all!???
Anyway, I am trying to rest it, elevating it and not walking to much when possible. Good luck and happy exercising to all.

Hi all,
Murph - Hope your ankle is o.k.
kathyrn -Thanks for the T explanation. We don't have that here. Actually, off the top of my head, we don't have (apart from Xmas) a national day, where we feast.
Vilma - Forgive me?
I had a day off yesturday (and today) so what did I do? Yep, Fed myself. I ate and ate all day, blew my eating out of the water -Damn!
Ladies, I am wrinkling! I'm not what you would describe as "vain" just hate the thought of getting old. So, what do you guys do to prevent the aging process? Or are you all accepting it and going down gracefully. By the way, I've read in our gossip mags, both Madonna and Sharon STONE reckon, that they have never had any "work" Both of them pushing 50? Yeah right, they think we are all stupid.

Hi all ! I've been staying busy with my work and stuff and now it seems all the leaves fell off the trees overnight. Don't know when I'll get them raked up! The plan was for DH to take a day off and help, but now with THAT situation, we don't want to take any days off in case he does leave and then get paid for his unused vacation days. No, no firm word on the job area either. Trying to be patient but these big corps sure seem to take their sweet time. It's mind boggling....the mgr wants my DH for this job, my DH wants the job, so WHY does it take an act of God to get everyone who thinks they are sooo important to sign off on it to actually sign/bless what they need to do?!?!?!? Ah, I guess I'm done venting for awhile.
let's see for my workout I did the upper body portions of Jari's Love's R&C. I really like the UB work on that one.
Vilma, Your post about the water had me cracking up too! I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time at all, you just have such a way with words that made it funny to us. I hope you all are suffering no ill effects. Are you ready for CCPP? I'm saving up my leg strength for saturday!
Andrea, aging? I guess it's inevitable....living in a very dry climate and having dry skin isn't helping matters either. I guess I just feel like I don't care what others really think about me as long as I'm happy with me. I don't like the fine lines, I can see that my eye area look like 40 yo eyes, but I just let it be. I do admit it's tough if you are around younger people. I've always been the youngest in most group settings, and now I'm finding I'm one of (or the) oldest. I guess that is the part that bothers me most. I always think "if only you all knew what was coming you wouldn't be so smug feeling". Does that make sense? So much rambling and no sense coming out.
Katherine, I'm impressed with you using the vest for low max intervals....I dont' think I could stand it. My thighs get very tired. ^5's to you!
Murphy, sorry to hear about your ankle, however, you can still do UB and core work.....you can do it! Oh, and as far as aging....oh honey, if you only knew! I just finally figured out that the reason I've been sweating at night is because of hot flashes....a lightbulb finally came on when I looked at the calendar and saw AF was coming. I haven't had hot flashes that much ever....don't know if the stress played into it this month? Anyway AF has come in all her glory causing me to be moody, grumpy and nauseous.
Mary, you're posts always sound so positive and upbeat. As you can see, I cheated on Cathe today with Jari.

Hi all!
Just got in from a very hectic afternoon. Took DD to the doctor - she has strep throat so had to run to pharmacy for antibiotics. Now ds is complaining of a sore throat
Today was The Kettlebell Way which I did this morning and I just received my 8kg kettlebell with AOS Newport a few minutes ago now I'm just waiting for my 12kg Kettlebell.
I need to relax today my shoulders and neck hurt from being stressed from the past few hours sitting at doctors office then to pharmacy - so no cooking tonight I got pizza instead
I may have some wine too
Andrea nothing to forgive - as an after thought I can laugh too AFTER I called the poison control center just to be on the safe side - They said not to worry so I'm glad and oldest DD now knows better.
As far as the skin, living in the south I try to stay out of the intense UV rays esp during the summer .
I've been using an SPF moisterizer of 15.
Drinking lots of water .
I also never used much makeup even now just some conceler from Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
I also think its genetics as my sisters bitch and complain about my skin that I apparently inherited from my paternal grandmother - I get carded alot and people always confuse me as being my oldest dd's sister even her boyfriend's mother thought I was her sister
Kathryn sending prayers for your dad, mom , you and the rest of the family.
Oh boy about the solution in your sisters contact lens container dear lordy! Good thing she never let it touch her eyes - yikes
Murph so sorry to hear about your ankle
Thats no joke ! My aches & pains started a few months before my 41st birthday along with the sneaky weight gain ugh!
I hope your ankle starts to feel better soon.
Lisa I'm ready for Sat. CCPP day
Ugh the dreaded nonsense of red tape Here's hoping the higher ups get off their butts and sign off for your dh- what a pain!
I saw a lot of that when dh was still active duty air force.
Ladies I'm off to enjoy my pizza with chai tea (weird combo I know) and preview Newport

Hi all
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had a lovely day, had lunch with a friend and a special dinner in the evening with the family with a bottle of fizz! Unfortunately the very next day, I came down with yet another cold and it's a real stinker. DH has it as well. I just haven't felt up to posting much as I'm trying to get my work done and get off the computer. I missed most of last week exercising thanks to a bad arm and now this week I've only worked out once thanks to this cold. Next week, we start major refurbishment work on the house so I don't know when I'm going to get a workout in!
I'm afraid this is all very self-centred and whiny and I apologise I'm sorry also for the lack of personals, as I can see you've all got plenty on your plates at the moment.
I will be back, and cheerier, soon!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had a lovely day, had lunch with a friend and a special dinner in the evening with the family with a bottle of fizz! Unfortunately the very next day, I came down with yet another cold and it's a real stinker. DH has it as well. I just haven't felt up to posting much as I'm trying to get my work done and get off the computer.

No problem!
Ronne,
My sympathies on the cold (they really get me down!), and the injured arm, too. But my biggest sympathy is for that major renovation! That is so awful and disruptive! I've lived through it in this house and my previous one, and I know that it could drive anybody crazy!
My advice: Rent the movie "The Money Pit," with Tom Hanks. Even if you've already seen it, you'll be able to relate even more. And you'll probably need a laugh anyway.
Will you be able to work out during this project? I had to give up working out for a few months while we had our basement renovated (during fall/winter). While I was glad to have the results of the project (mostly my workout room), I was dismayed at how out-of-shape I got in the process!
So you hang in there and feel free to whine as much as you want to! We're here for you!

I'm still feeling blah and grumpy. Must be going around. Hoping that tomorrow the monthly hormonal curse will be lifted and I'll feel a bit more like my old self. I struggled through KPC this morning. I just wanna go crawl back in bed and cover up my head, but instead I guess I'll go get the floors mopped.....

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well, It must be the weather change, b/c I too have the grumps, just have been out of sorts, I know it is not hormonal cuz that is done for the month, maybe the stars are out of alignment. Lisa, I too just finished washing the floors, not mopping, hands and knees, otherwise, oh I don't know, I am a bit anal retentive! Ronne, good to see you had a nice b-day. Sorry about the cold tho. Hope it doesn't keep you down for long. Vilma, sorry to hear about the strep, hope you don't get it, I have had it 2 times in the last 3 years, thought I would die. I am not full of positive today am I? Murphy, hope that ankle doesn't keep you sidelined for long, Could you still do upper body? Andrea, wrinkles can be beautiful, it shows a life lived and I personally love laugh lines. You are probably putting your face too close to the mirror, mine always look way worse close up, I stand 10 or 12 feet away from the mirror, that works! (just kidding) LIsa, hope all is well with you, any decisions yet? The end of the month is coming soon, maybe when that is when they will decide. Hi Kathryn, thinking about your dad. Talk to ya all later, I have to get to girl scouts! Mary
