Cathlete
Woke up with headache, better now, but since I don't want it to get worse gonna just do slide-n-glide cardio express pm (I think that's the name), maybe a bit on the elip.

Roxie, check your email.
 
Hi everyone! Today did YR. we have to go to Walmart and the kids want to get the house ready for Christmas. Lisa, hope the head improves. Is the weather bad there? Roxie, could you rent an apartment or townhouse? He starts tomorrow.? When is your last day? Jody, when is your final? Next week? Murphy, are you brand new? Ronne, did you have fun with your friend? So excited get my hair colored tomorrow, first will have to go to the dentist. Have a good day, Mary
 
Ended up only doing .5 mile on the elip before DH was ready to eat breakfast :)

Mary, I'm doing a root touch up on my color today too, my DIL (cosmetologist license) said that even though I'm using semi color (PM Shines) that the color is really staying in the length of my hair (maybe because I care for it very carefully?) so just do the roots and pull the rest of the color thru, will see how it turns out. I think I got most of it colored except the nape area, it certainly was easier pulling the color thru vs making sure the length has enough color. It's getting long too, about 3" above my bra line when wet, of course curled it looks a lot shorter (I lose about 3" to 3.5" with the curls). As far as the weather we don't have a lot of "bad" weather on the front range so sometimes it's hard to tell if the headaches are from change in weather or something else. Most of the time the mountains get all the weather, it hops over us then the east plains will get it. I do know we have a weather system moving thru (though again we won't see anything from it but a dip in temps).

Jody, how did your hair turn out?

Ronne, did you do anything else fun with your friend?
 
Good Afternoon,

I am getting ready to do CLX Recharge I really need a stretch. I have been shredding stuff today no sense in taking trash with me.

Lisa-your hair sounds nice.

Mary-I gave my 2 weeks notice Friday so I have to finish that out. Apartments and Townhouses are and option but we would have to store alot of stuff and we have the boat to park and yes he starts tomarrow he is going to stay in a motel this week and look for a place for us to live.
 
Mary, you are working the yin and yang by doing YR and Walmart, with kids and for xmas.
Lisa my hair turned out well, thanks. I get about 3.5 months out of 16 foils and a cut. My hair still likes Wen.
Roxie, good luck with all the decisions. Will you or hubby find the new place? When will you list your home?
I've been painting this weekend, no workouts, final on 14th and 12th, I'd like to take tomorrow off but probably won't cuz that's not how I roll, lol, plus I have to be at school for work in the aft anyway.
 
Did a FitPrime w/ Tracie Long. It was okay. It was so slow, but it served it purpose. I will start the December rotation tomorrow.

Roxie - you are moving? What did I miss? Where is DH's job?

Murphy
 
Did HiiT 30/30 this morning. I was going to do MM, but I did weights yesterday and I did not want to do weights back to back. I got through much more of it. I have to find a substitute for the second to last exercise - where she goes down to the step, into a push-up and then jumps up into a standing position. Maybe I will just do the push-ups.

Make it a great Monday.

Murphy
 
Hi all

Roxie - it sounds like you've got a lot on your plate at the moment. Make sure you look after yourself!

Mary - hope the hair went well! When do you go to Vegas? Lucky you - who looks after the kids while you're away?

Lisa - you're getting a lot of headaches at the moment. Do you drink enough? Sometimes when I get dehydrated I get a headache.

Jody - what have you been painting? Did you choose some fun colours?

Murphy - sounds like you're throwing yourself into the workouts again as always. I never even thought to look at the rotation!

Well, had a great night on Fri with BF. We had loads to catch up on and swapped presents for the families. Saturday the three of us went into town to do some shopping (Christmas and birthdays) then yesterday we went for a walk as it was a nice bright winter's day. We got a bit lost and I had to speedwalk back to get the car before it went dark!!
Did MMA KB today. More annoyance - our hot water isn't working! I had to boil a kettle and do a strip wash after working out! Going to get DH to help me wash my hair tonight. I was so looking forward to washing my hair with both hands for the first time in a month!!! :mad:
 
Hi girls! Did LIC this morning, no abs, forgot how long that was! Ronne, sory about the hot water tank, it's always something isn't it? My parents are going to watch the kids! I'm getting itchy to go! Next week! Jody, you are busy! And motivated! I really don't like painting. Also, I don't really care for Walmart! I should have saved YR for after! Lisa, did you start on the quilt? Murphy, that rotation doesn't look too bad. Roxie, hope work is going ok. I hope she's being nice to you. Well, have to get to dentist, then my roots. Yay me! Have a good day! Mary
 
Did HR today. Finally figured out what is causing the headaches....BP...it isn't super high (top # a little high but still below 140), I had been 1/2ing my medicine, worked good until I had to go into work 2 days last week! I'm on the lowest dose possible and if I take a full one I get too low of BP, so I need to not only stay in tune with my body but I need to REMEMBER what I need to do when I feel out of tune. Hope that makes sense!

Ronne, I don't think I would trust DH to shampoo my hair, it would be more a tangled mess than it is now....I'm finding long, fine, curly hair tangles very easy. He does help me color it though! :) Sounds like a bit of excitement you had walking the dark streets! Sounds like something my BFF and I would do! Hope you get hot water soon, brrrrr!

Murphy, I feel I'm modifying Cathe more and more....how could it be age related since Cathe and I are only a month apart in age! I did go buy some 25lb dumbbells....I was using my 26lb Kettlebell but loaned it to DS23 so that gave me the excuse to get real dumbbells! I think I use them mostly for 1 arm rows and if we hold dumbbells for LB exercise I now have another option besides a barbell.

Mary, enjoy your day! I don't mind the dentist anymore, that the only part of my body that doesn't ever need work done! Well, for now that is! I started on one quilt that I just want to make because, still waiting for the fabric for DS20's.

Jody, Yea you for being so dedicated, it will pay off in the long run! I'm liking Wen now (but won't repurchase), I found I have to still use conditioner after it, who would have thought?

Roxie, fingers crossed for a unstressful day at work, you don't need that, as my Mom would say, consider the source.

Oh, have to share, my skin on my thighs has never felt so good, that Lush stuff is working wonders for my poor dry skin. I LOVE when you place your hand on your thigh and do shoulder presses to the side to stretch how wonderful my thigh feels, it was feeling mighty yucky!
 
Good Afternoon,

Its been a busy day we are cleaning out the 2005 files before I quit. She is being nice to me today because I think DH decided the route starts late enough and gets done early enough he can drive back and forth for a while looking at after the first of the year but the bad part about that is he drives my car while I drive his truck and for someone that is only 5' tall it is alot to handle.

Jody-yes we are moving DH got a job back with his original company but its in a town that is and hour and a half drive.

Lisa-so far so good but I know eventually she will crack.

Ronne-it would suck to have no hot water I don't like cold showers.

Mary-aw Vegas and a weekend away from the kids sounds relaxing.

Murphy-good job with your workout today.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did CLX Lean Circuit 1 which is all body parts including the core then I did 1.47 miles on the TM. The neighbor just came over and her husbands unit is returning from Afghanistan and his buddy wants to buy our place how crazy is that? This is my last month of CLX I am hoping I have the new Cathe ones before January.
 
Hi all

Sorry, it's got to be a quickie today. Did TF - used the green band rather than the blue and did push-ups on my knees but all good apart from that. Got some UB DOMS from kickboxing yesterday.

Going to try writing my overseas Christmas cards tonight!

Will be back with personals tomorrow!
 
Hi all! Today did SS, an oldie? Roxie, how awesome is that? Now you won't have to deal with renters or showing the house! Hope work is going ok. Lisa, glad you figured out your headaches. I have to modify at times also, glad to hear I'm not the only one! I complain to DH, "why don't I look like Cathe? I do all her work outs!?". Then he reminds me, working out is her JOB, she works in a gym, teaches classes, always working on her next series. I keep trying tho! Ronne, you normally do TF with the blue band? You are a strong girl! Murphy, what's on the schedule for today? Jody, have fun at clinicals! Have lots of errands today, have a good one! Tooth is brand new ( he put sealant on) and no more gray! I'm a happy girl! Mary
 
Step Moves today. Just got back from ear dr appt for DH. He feels hearing is getting better, at least the ringing is now a hum. Hearing test didn't really show much improvement in frequencies but better word recognition. So we are doing another (the last) 2 weeks of steriod drops, go back in 2 wks, dr can then take the wick out and clean out the debris from the drops better (right now she can't clean it too much as the wick may come out). DH feels a little more hopeful that he is getting some hearing back. I'm off work today and tomorrow for my furlough time, no big plans, do a bit of baking (for my college boy to have holiday food---he's the one that can afford the calories!). And a little sewing, reading, just relax, what a concept right?

Roxie, that's awesome if that works out with your house. When things are to be then things just seem to fall in place. I was wishing for the new w/o's before Christmas. I bought the dvd and download so I won't have to wait for shipping.

Mary, Imagine what bods we'd have if exercise was our job? Sounds like you are all decked out and ready for the holidays, oh wait, you got rid of your tinsel !

Ronne, I guess I'm the wimp in the group, pink band here. My plie jumps are pretty sad too (no clicking of heels). Gravity is not my friend in many ways!

Murphy and Jody, hoping the w/o fairy is visiting you!
 
Amazed at the difference in today's hair (left) and Aug hair (right). Today's looks so much healthier to me, not sure if it's the pop of red, red, red I added to my semi color I did a couple days ago or what the difference is.

Good Afternoon,

Tonite for me maybe a walk in the park if the weather holds out if not then TF HiiT 15. My shoulders are so sore from last nights workout I can hardley lift them.

Lisa-thanks for the books I started Gone Girl at lunch. Your hair looks really nice. DH and I were just arguing over whether or not we were doing the right thing and then the neigbor shows up.

Mary-good job with your workout and I am jealous about the dentist, DH said he didn't know how soon he would set our insurance up.

Ronne-I probably couldn't do more then the pink band I have problems with cramping in my calves and thighs so I have to use the lighter band.
 
Good Evening,

I forget it gets dark by the time I get off work so I didn't go for a walk instead I did TF HiiT 15 and Stretch 10 and I really needed the stretch.
 
Hi all

I better clear this up before you all think I'm super strong or something! I was talking about Travel Fit (TF) not TurboBarre. That one is definitely a pink one!
Today, I gritted my teeth and did the short cardio premix from BM2. I've really taken against that DVD for some reason. I do the cardio on one riser now as it's just too much (see I AM a wimp!)

We got our first dusting of snow last night - just walked to the post office, slipping and sliding a bit!

Roxie - that would be great if you didn't need to mess about with going through a third party to sell your house.

Lisa - thanks for the hair update!! Hope DH gets good results with his hearing.

Mary - yes, your DH is absolutely right. Working out is Cathe's life!! I think we should be proud of what we do and how good we look!!
 
Hi girls! Today just did the TM. Ronne, I knew you were talking travel fit! You are super strong! Don't fall on that hand! Lisa, hair looks great! I like that darker color. Roxie, I have Gone Girl, haven't started it yet. Right now I am reading The Shoemakers Wife by Adriana Trigiani, so enjoying it! Jody, today is your long day? Hi Murphy! Today I absolutely must start Christmas shopping! That is my goal anyway! Have a goo day! Mary
