40's - week of 1/something/13

Hi all

Jody - that is so exciting! I can't wait to see the finished product. 'Hi, I'm Jody and I lost 945lbs using this program. I drank 1 milkshake a day and worked out for 23 hours!!' :eek:

Roxie - who is Barbara?!! I don't like the sound of 60 of anything! I do prefer the more recent core work that Cathe's done - I find the core sections in her earlier workouts really boring and repetitive (crosstrainxpress etc)

Lisa - you did Tabatacise and the treadmill? Are you mad? I was reading about TBT yesterday and it looks really tough. I can't believe you lift more than Cathe for bis - you're one strong woman!!

Mary - I'm so excited to finally be joining in.

Well, I decided to use the 1RMs as a workout today. I did all the CBS ones which took about an hour. I'm a bit surprised with some of the results and expect I may be dropping weight when it comes to the real thing. I plan to do the Bis and Tris tomorrow. Liking the look of Disc 1. I read the user guide last night and got all excited so have decided to go for the 90 day rotation. I suspect it will be more like 190 days for me! But I never bought into STS so I'm keen to do something I haven't done before.
 
I did Super Cuts, like that one! Was having a good morning until my sister texted me and asked me to go to walmart to get her some things. My problem is because 1. I DON'T EVEN SHOP AT WALMART, why can't I go to a REGULAR grocery store 2. She's going into work SICK, if she can go into work sick, she can get her groceries! She gets PAID sick time, I don't, I don't get paid to take off to got to flipping WALMART. 3. She went to get a massage, WTF, again if you can get a massage, then you can get your own flipping groceries. I could go on, I'm getting madder just typing this. Now then, am I bad?
 
quick vent:

sister: Hate to ask, But cold u go to Walmart for me? I have not been to store in a month and need some stuff.

me: if you're at work again, you need to seriously stay home and get better since it's come to this. I can pick up stuff for you at King Soopers when I do my grocery shopping sometime this weekend.

sister: forget it


so I think she's pissed at me, I thought my reply was nice (especially compared to the f word I was venting with verbally). thoughts?

I'm heading out to get my flu shot, I'm concerned of catching this stuff going on, I know I should have done it sooner, sigh
 
Good Morning,

The bosses are headed to a meeting to try and get this company sold and I am so hoping they do. I am suppose to do 80 mins worth of leg work today but I will hold that off until tomarrow because I will have more time instead I will do XTrain All Out Low Impact and I believe core 1 surprised my core isn't screaming today. I think I am going to give up on CK25 for now and just concentrate on XTrain.

Ronne-I don't know who Barbara is I reported the problem to SNM but they say there isn't a problem. 60 crunches then 60 reverse crunches killer.

Jody-sounds like and amazing opportunity even with the infomercial possibility. I noticed yesterday the forums website wasn't working right.

Lisa-you said the right thing to your sister she is just taking advantage of your kindness.
 
I forgot to tell you that I talked to a realtor last night and she is going to come over Wednesday and look at the house and let us know what needs to be done to get the place on the market.
 
Hi girls! Did and oldie today, the original firm with Susan Harris, my 1st workout ever. It was as hard a I remembered! I got it for Christmas on DVD. The floor work was ENDLESS, Lisa, I can see why you would be annoyed with your sister. Maybe she is just feeling lazy today? Have fun with DIL. I don't know why I thought the tabata one felt a little easier? I probably was just having a good day? Roxie, you have nothing to feel guilty about, you work hard, at work and at home. Jody, I can hardly wait to see you on TV! This is so exciting! You are going to be one busy girl, its going to be worth it! Ronne, let us know how much you enjoy these new ones. I really like the whole set. Hard Strikes I need to give another chance, I love the leg ones! Murphy, what else have you tried? Have to go to grocery store, I also want to catch up on some of my shows on the DVR, especially Scandal. Have a good day, Mary
 
I know I am posting alot but I keep forgetting I wanted to say stuff. Have any of you noticed the camera man keeps focusing on Amanda?
 
Got my flu shot, 1 hr wait, they don't expect to have anymore in a day or so. Hearing of lots of places already out of it. I normally don't get it but this year has me worried, now to avoid it for 2 weeks until it really kicks in. Oh, and then we find out Aetna says we have no coverage. Thought we got this fixed a couple weeks ago when I noticed the Cigna RX was mess up. So going thru that hassle, then have to go back to Walgreens to get refund for the $ we paid for the shot. sigh.

Now to clarify, I do shop at Walmart (nothing against them) but it's such a hassle of a trip. I figured out why she probably wanted Walmart....she buys their sweet tea (like 5-6 gallons at a time). She's diabetic she doesn't need sweet tea! She just sucks me dry of any sympathy and I'm tired of it.....maybe it's self preservation on my part, but I'm worth taking care of myself and trying to minimize external influences if deemed a detriment to my health.

Roxie, I notice on Ride the cameraman is shooting from the right a lot which is where Brenda is (she's awesome in Ride). So I thought he shot those that was "better" at the exercise? I like seeing the not so good ones too. Makes me feel like they are human, you know? And it is in Bi/Tri w/o where they are doing the stretch where Amanda's breast are popped out there. Moving is a huge hassle, when we moved here 20 yrs ago I swore I would never move again! So far so good!

Ronne, yes I was crazy


gotta run
 
I'm back finally to finish my post. DIL had just stopped by so had to end prev post early. We had a nice afternoon, she helped me look for jeans and I even got some leggings (boot cut though). Then went to 3 stores to look for slippers that won't hurt my nail-less big toes. After we got all done shopping, Lush called her and she got the job! Unfortunately it doesn't pay as much as her old one, but it's a step and they are grooming her for manager position. She can also freelance with MAC since they probably don't have rules about working at another company like Nordstrom did.

Ronne, yes, I did feel a bit like a crazy lady yesterday. I think I'm now on the upswing of the hormone hell because I'm feeling much better than I did over Christmas vacation. Can't wait to hear what you think of Xtrain.

Mary, so far the legs are my least fav, but really the whole set of them is good. REally you have to listen to the music in HArdstrikes, I love the music, I do NOT like all the jumping jacks.

My arm is now hurting from the flu shot, I normally don't get it unless offered free from the company (they did when I worked for them), but this year I'm really worried that it's only a matter of time that the flu finds me so figured I'd pay the man the $. Maybe I should go get it when DH gets his every year because I'm not getting any younger!
 
One more thing, DIL said the Lush mgr said the F word about 3 times when she was interviewing her. At that point she didn't feel so bad if she had to tell them why she was let go from Nordstrom, but they never asked.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did All Out Low Impact HiiT Premix 1+core but I couldn't do the core my abs hurt from yesterday, I also did CK25 W2 D3.

Lisa-congrats to DL.
 
apologize in advance for the randomness that is likely to be written.

Lush and DIL, lol, I'd be such a smart a$$ in my head during interview, dropping the f bomb all over the place, but just in my head. congrats to DIL, I'm happy things are working out.

Realtor s, that can be such a hard thing to go thru, trying to sell home while living in it. I got at least three realtor's to come look before I listed my house. In the end, I felt like the one I chose was honest and wanted the best for me and my girls and wasn't going to blow smoke just to get a listing. She did a lot of open houses, too. Any chance you guys could do a by owner? I've purchased from owner but to list seemed involved for me at that time. I broke even on the house when I sold it, but it wasn't well maintained and market was bad, I felt lucky to do so.

Lisa again and sister, I don't think you were mean. I've learned that no is a complete sentence. You simply say no, or no, that isn't going to work for me, then let her spin on why not. Put the ball in her court so she can verbalize why it was a shit request. I try to do that when I can other wise I end up in a blame or manipulation - you shoulda fest.

Flu shots, I had to get one for school clinicals, normally wouldn't consider it. It wasn't free w/ Obama Care? I think that's why my insurance covered it. I went to the drug store.

Ronne it is so cool that you are so excited for the workouts. It seems like they are a hit. Reports and favorites please as you go thru them. And LOL to my informercial. I don't think there would be any benefit to portraying me in a bad light, so hopefully it will only be good.

Murphy, did the xtrain carry you down the tracks and off the forums? : )

I did step from Intensity today. Many more thoughts in my head about all the stuff I'm into, but it is too late. I did training at my inventory job- saw an ad for another job that I should apply for and so on. Tomorrow is Sat again?
 
Hi all. I have been around. The computer was being worked on so I had to use the regular dvd player and I can't use the Interenet as much as work so I have not been able to communicate. Then, we got the computer back and now it won't play dvd's! I am quite annoyed. To add insult to injury, the regular dvd player won't play disc 6, burn sets. Is anyone else having problems with disc 6? In the c,s & b portion it was until the scarecrows (must have been a sign) and for the bi's and tri's, it skips from the beginning. I have not talked to SNM b/c they will tell me to try it in another play which and I did and at least the scarecrow part worked, I did not try the bi's and tri's. They can be annoying at times. The funny part is that I had to play the disc on the main tv and it is one of the huge life size TV's - that is a lot of Cathe in your face. I felt like she was yelling at me. :)

Anyway, I missed a lot of stuff. Jody - congrat's on the infomercial. Have fun and good luck. Keep us posted. Lisa - DIL is at LUSH? I love them. They have some really, really good stuff. DH likes their men stuff too. Ronne - glad XTrain came in, enjoy the soreness. Roxie - good luck with the house. We sold ours while living in it - with kids and it was a little tough. I think it took longer to sell b/c of all the "clutter." Waves to all and sorry if I missed anyone or mixed anyone up .

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I didn't do the 80 mins of legs that I was suppose to do I just did the leg workout and it reminded me of why I don't like Cathes leg workouts its overkill. I will check in later if I am not arrested me and the neighbor boy are going to have a stereo war. He just came back from Afghanistan and he bought a new speaker system and turns it so loud I can here it on my side of the house.

Jody-we bought our house from this particular realtor she was surprised we still live here. When we sold our house to move here we lost money on it because we lived in a smaller town and our realtor sucked.

Murphy-no problems with BIs and Tris going to watch burn sets today so I will let you know if there is any problems.
 
Roxie, grrr to neighbor.
Lisa, sorry for trippin' on ya in previous post- it was preachy sounding.
Murphy, do you yell back at Cathe? lol, I do sometimes and she is on a teeny 13 inch telly at my house.

This is the workout I'm going to be doing Xtend Barre West Palm Beach » About Xtend Barre it looks good for me as a foundation for getting back into my bellydance. I told my dance teacher what I was doing and she was so sweet and excited for me and said she is looking forward to my return and that everyone misses me which of course totally warms my heart and now I'm really determined to gain all the benefits of this workout (said the Queen of Never Stretching). It will help me develop my weakest areas of flex and balance. I'm not really in until after today's meet, interview and photo- I'm excited and anxious to be official.

I've got to get stuff straightened out- I've got myself committed to working Sun night til 1 or 2 in Miami, getting home at 3 AM then have 12 hour clinical day on Mon starting at 630 AM followed by college time. Clearly things have gotten out of hand.
 
You all have been busy! Lisa, will you get free samples? Hopefully at least a discount! Congrats! How is your sister today? We have a Walmart and Target right across the street from each other right around the corner from us, very rarely will I go to Walmart, the aisles are too narrow and they don't have enough cashiers. How's the arm today? I think it is all the jumping jacks in HS that I don't care for. Murphy, I haven't had any trouble with my discs, maybe there was dust or something? Roxie, did the neighbor thing fall through? Selling is so frustrating! I will be thinking good thoughts! Ronne, what have you tried so far? Jody, I watched the video, that looks challenging! (I find barre hard!). I imagine with your dance experience you will be a natural! Are you going to get any sleep this semester? I bet time will fly! Well, I did get another class, so now I have 2, a relief! We had basketball this morning, I cleaned, have to get my workout in yet. Have a great Saturday! Mary
 
No w/o yet, hit the ground running today doing more shopping at Kohls and grocery shopping too. Now I have to figure out where to put all the things I've bought at Kohls last 2 days. I plan to do Ride later....will see if that's what I stick with or not.

Mary, I'm sure I'll get some samples, I've already told her that I really want some! Not sure what her discount will be, but I told her that since I'd buy the stuff anyway that for everything I buy for me I'll buy one from her with her discount (still trying to help the kids out since I can). I think I'll be modifying those jacks...maybe I'll do them on discs next time.

Murphy, all my discs have been fine (and I'm the one that always seems to have disc problems, hence me also buying the downloads). disc7 seemed to spin a lot and have a read error before it played (and I read someone else had disc 7 problem). I gave up asking SNM about freezing discs (am not happy with their response), but at this time, it isn't worth my effort to fight. Also wondering if I need to buy a newer dvd player. Surely they are dirt cheap now?

Jody, no worries on preaching, as women it's hard to just say no sometimes, I am getting better about it. She has such a way of making you feel bad and playing her poor pitiful me drama...maybe it's cuz I'm the youngest I normally always gave in. She isn't liking when I'm not giving in now, tough. I'm doing what's best for me, ya know? That barre w/o looks right up your alley and I'm sure your flexibilty on a bad day is waaaaay better than mine on a good day.

Roxie, I feel the same way on Cathe's leg w/o, and 80 min, oh pulease! I know others love them (I'm looking at Murphy and Mary here), my legs look pretty darn good from all the other weight bearing stuff I do, my problem is from the waist down and hips up :)
 
I did a bellydance shimmy drill workout. Ahem Cough Ack- I am so rusty I shouldn't even admit to being a bellydancer. Seriously bad. Oh well, onward and upward. My meeting is later on so I'm off to gather my stuff. I hit the salon for a pedi xmas gift. A strong nice looking young man did it. Really nice massage. I was in geezer heaven. : p
Lisa, I love Khols, what's with all the shopping tho?
I probably wouldn't plan to do an 80 min workout either.
More yerba mate tea made, here goes the second half of my day.
