Hi everyone, finally! We got some cool weather, highs only 75, it's so cool I have to have a blanket on me, seems like ages since i've used a blanket!

I did MMA KB, wanted to take it easy on my ankle, it's better but still is a little twingy. At least my shoes didn't feel so tight at the tops.

Roxie, I hate when you get take out and they get the order wrong! How technical did you want to get with the kindle? There is free software www.calibre.com (I think, or google calibre) that will convert books to the kindle format for you. If you want to give it a go, we'll have to work together on it.

Mary, how are you? How did your finger get infected? Hope it's on the mend.

Ronne, hope you are feeling more chipper.

Jody, I think lots of things wear me out more than they used to!

Murphy, how are you, did you get the basement all cleaned out and dried up?
 
I did Low Max today but I think I am going to just do upper body and abs for the next 1 to 2 weeks. It didn't hurt my knee, but clearly didn't improve it. Sigh.

Lisa, first time STS? Let us know what sorts of things you do to make it (like the subbing for push ups) please. I have it but haven't unwrapped it. Are you going to still do it or wait for ankle to improve?

Mary, they gave us free passes to come back with the tix we purchased last time, so I only had to buy one ticket to water park last Fri. No extra charge for my sunburn either. : ( Ick, I am sorry about your finger not healing well.

Greetings to Ronne and Roxie~~ Rox sounds like she has a busy weekend going on.
 
Good Evening,

Went to great nephews first birthday and now we are fixing supper and then DD and I are going to go for a walk and then drink margaritas while watching the food truck race on HGTV its the episode filmed here. It is so nice and cool have the doors and windows open.

Lisa-downloaded new rules for lifting for women so I am reading that haven't really played with it much.
 
Hi everyone

Still not quite back to my usual perky self but getting there. Had a fairly quiet weekend for a change which was nice. The rest of the autumn is packed! Did a couple of no-sweat workouts. Now starting to chomp at the bit to do something more. Probably won't be for at least a week as my parents arrive on Thursday for a long weekend!

Good news is that they're back working on the bathroom so should have a shower by Thursday - keep your fingers crossed for me!

Jody - water park sounds like fun - but tiring! Now be sensible and give that knee a rest!!!

Lisa - take it easy with the ankle as well.

Roxie - sounds like you've had a nice weekend.

Hi to everyone else!
 
Good Morning Everyone,

I have today off but I got up at 6 am to walk with DD before she goes to work, we did 3 miles and it was a bit chilly can't believe the quick change in the weather.

Ronne-keeping my fingers crossed you get your shower.
 
Good morning girls! I did KCM plyo this am. Did the TM on the weekend. Hand is feeling better, should be able to do weights soon! Roxie, that was nice of you to get up early on your day off! Ronne, I hope you get that shower soon! That would be hard to live without! Jody, how nice for the extra tickets, I love surprises like that. Lisa, are you feeling better? It is cooler here too, went from the 90's on sat. to the 60's today. Crazy difference. Hope everyone has a good day! Talk to you tomorrow, Mary
 
I did upper body premix and Abs from ME today. : ) Hopefully I can increase my big girl push ups while I chill on the knee....

I'm enjoying knocking around the house, doing homework, etc. It doesn't exactly feel like fall outside, but I don't like cold, so that is OK w/ me, I will keep the 90 degree weather thank you very much.

Take care and have a nice afternoon~
 
I did STS disc 2(back/bi). I have a lat pulldown machine I use for the pullups and I skipped the last 2 exercises (side push up and supermans).

Ronne, I think I may be smelling you all the way over here :)

Mary, glad to hear the finger is better. My ankle is doing good too.

Jody, keep that hot weather! I love the 70s!

Roxie, enjoy your day off, I am even if I don't get paid for it.

Murphy, you around?
 
I broke my green dynaband this morning too :( I don't really like the bands I bought from Cathe, they are too hard to stretch especially when doing t's or y's because it strains my trap and neck. I actually dislike band work in general. Anyway, I did order a 5 pack of the green dynabands from fwonline.com and the barbell Cathe uses (my barbell has screw on clips, yuck). So now I can have 3 barbells set up ready to go. 1 at 25 lbs that can easily be changed, 1 at 30 lbs my screw on bar that is a pain in the butt to change, and then the olympic bar. The 2 weight amts I use the most on the barbell for endurance type workouts is 25 and 30 lbs and I get tired of changing them to go between the 2. I'm lazy that way :) Hmmmm, I'm not being too successful with my money diet or my food diet :( I didn't make my weight goal for labor day. Still working on losing.......people think I should have lost easily by now with my hiking, but for those I really have to eat to keep my energy up, especially when running to a mine to get shelter from lightning :) My BFF is still giving me grief over how I took off running leaving her behind :) I'm sure her and I will laugh about this in the old folks home decades from now :)
 
Lisa-I have three barbells set up for different wts., two of mine are screw bars and one is a clip.

Jody-I have to use vacation pay to cover today.
 
Mary, just got done watching our guilty pleasure---Bachelor Pad. Casey is disgusting and Holly is now getting on my nerves! Let me know what you think once you watch it. Next week is the season finale, can you believe it?
 
Hi all

Lisa - it's amazing how many layers of deodorant you can put on :p!! 3 barbells?! Wow! I know what you mean about changing the weights though, it is a pain. That's why I sometimes cheat with lower weights on some exercises because I can't be bothered to change again!

Jody - sounds like the UB plan is working. I'd like some of that 90 degrees please!

Roxie - I bet you're enjoying your walks in the cooler weather now.

Mary - I bet you're looking forward to lifting some weights. It's amazing how enthusiastic an enforced break can make you.

Well, the shower is in place now (not working, of course) but it looks good! Didn't get a workout in yesterday as builder was here all day and it will probably be the case again today. Taking DD to the fair today - it's her last day of summer holiday. I don't like it when she goes back to school :(
 
Up early, I plan to do STS Disc 3, Legs. Gonna skip out of work early and go to the movies to see the Help with my GF.

Ronne, the shower looks good but how about you :p. Seems your DD just got out of school! Where did the time go? Speaking of lifting weights, I surprised my sister when I went over to help move a big recliner and a heavy oak tv stand. She thought DH and I couldn't do it and we would need our DS to help. NOT THE CASE! I even carried them a good 50 yds to the car (she lives in a condo so parking is not right outside her door). I was sooooo impressed with myself, I think I did better than in my younger years!
 
Good Morning,

DD and I went for our walk again this morning it was 50 degrees alittle chilly but not bad. Tonite I need to do a stretch. My boss who does all the accts. payable and billing is back in the hospital so I don't know how much longer I am going to have a job.

Lisa-it does feel good when you see your hard work pay off.

Ronne-loving the cooler weather and now that we are walking alittle later the sun comes up over the lake and its really pretty today there was fog hanging over it.
 
Hi girls! Late start again, did 4 miles on the TM, intervals and hill climbs. I will start with weights again on Thurs. Stitches just came out, want to wait till it is healed a bit more, so I don"t crack it back open. Roxie, why would you lose your job? Didn't he train someone to do the accounts? I hope that doesn't happen to you. Ronne, so a shower is in sight? It is like the builder is teasing you, setting it up, but...no water! I can't believe your daughter's break is over all ready! Lisa, I will try to watch that tonite, I watched the Housewives of Beverly Hills last night. I really need to get a life! Kasey is creepy! His voice would make me insane, Vienna, she's no prize either! Maybe they deserve each other. Jody, S&H is one I have only done a couple times. I don't know why I kind of avoid it! Well, have to get to dinner. Hopefully tomorrow won't be so busy! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Babysitting my bratty 2 year old nephew for and hour tonite.

Mary-nobody is trained to do his job just him.
 
Here I am. The basement is still in disaray. It is dry but not completely sanitized. I am waiting for DH to finish the cleaning so it could take some time... Anyway, I did abs and .... upper body today. It feels good to do something. The other day we did Just Dance on the Wii. It is okay. I was trying real hard b/c I have not been able to do any serious cardio. Oh, speaking of cardio. I was looking to see what Cathe I can do and I noticed that Meso 3 and the squat rack dvd's, which are on the bottom of the thingy they are encased in, looked funny. Apparently they got wet in the flood and I never noticed. The squat rack dvd was okay, the paper/cover got wet and crinkled a bit but meso 3 started to mold. Yuck! It did not look like any of the dvd's got messed up and DH was able to clean it. I was a little upset but I feel better now. Funny, on the otherside of the unit are some old The Firm vhs' that started to mold. I was not so upset about those. :-] Oh well. I plan to do Travel Fit tomorrow. I really like band work. I saw one of the posts (Lisa ?) where somone does not like band work and their band broke. One of mine broke too. I may check out fwonline, thanks for the tip.

Hi to everyone and sorry for the lack of personals.

Murphy
 
Hi all

Murph - good to hear the Cathe DVDs made it - that would have been a serious bummer!! Well done for getting some workouts in - sounds like you're slowly getting sorted out. Can you claim on insurance or is it not worth the bother?

Lisa - I know, the holidays go by so quickly. I'm feeling a bit down today without her around. So are you enjoying STS on your 3rd? time around?

Mary - Yes, the shower is there looking lovely but unusable - sigh!

Roxie - hope the babysitting was OK!

Not sure whether I'll get a workout in today - depends on how long the builder is here for! The place is in complete disarray - stuff everywhere and my parents arrive tomorrow. I could really do without it. Also feeling sad about DD going back to school. Poor me!! :(
On a happier note, are there any individual STS DVDs you'd recommend buying? Seeing as there's a 20% discount I might get a couple.
 
Hi ladies! A rest day for me. Had a nice time with the GFs last night at the movies.

Mary, Everytime I see Casey I remember the episode of the kissing contest when all the girls said he had bad breath! And Vienna looks cross-eyed. Don't know why I'm really sucked into this this season.

Ronne, oh yes, gotta love STS, got the DOMS good in my legs from yesterday's workout. If you are interested in singles, I like Meso2 the most, and since I seem to need more variety in UB work I would get those. Depends on what you want.

Murphy, what a mess in the basement! Hopefully your Cathe DVDs still work, otherwise since you are such a loyal customer maybe cust serv can do something for you? Speaking of Cathe, WHEN IS THAT NEW SERIES COMING OUT, I"M READY!

Roxie, glad you survived the baby sitting. I hope your job stays intact, that's so crazy that you could lose it because someone is in the hospital.

Jody, I'm really not a fan of slow and heavy, I think it just bores me to tears.
