Hey, starting us off. Quick post, MM today. Winds will still be with us this week, ugh, at least they aren't 70mph, but still I hate the wind!

Ronne, wow, you joined us on a weekend you shampoo tart you!

Anyone having issues with cathe's website being slow. It's been awful for me the last week. I have no other issues with any other websites. It's getting frustrating.
 
Good morning! Did YM this morning, nice and stretched. Lisa, I haven't had any problems,yet. Hope you don't get blown away! Ronne, hope the competition went well. Roxie, how was the home and garden show? Jody, any dancing? I love imax2! Maybe you will inspire me? Murphy, what are you up to? Dinner was nice last night, lots of laughing! Hope everyone has a beautiful Sunday! Mary
 
Heading out into the wind, don't know why I did my hair. :)

I'll have to see how my work computer is tomorrow accessing the forums.

Mary you are really getting into that yoga
 
Good Evening,

It was gorgeous here today lower 60's a little wind and I should have went for a walk especially after the way I have eaten this weekend. We didn't find anything at the home show but it wasn't for us. I didn't workout today went to the kids house they are building and hung out.

Lisa-I can access the website with no problems on my phone but not on my laptop way to slow. Lisa try restarting your computer it helped mine.

Morning! Did ME this am, forgot how many leg presses there are in that! Lisa, glad it is working better for you. Do you have to go into work? Roxie, sounds like you had a nice day. Hi to Jody, Murphy & Ronne. Have some running around to get to. Watching the news, there was a school shooting on the east side this morning. (we live on the west side) Well, have a good day, Mary
 
Work computer gets same error as Jody. Will have to make this short. intensity step only done.

Mary, that's scary. Columbine was very close to us.
 
This weekend was lower body blast and TBT UB. Today was supossed to be LIC but I really do not like that one. Instead of doing something else, I decided to sleep in. Now of course I feel crappy for not getting up.

Mary - are you in Ohio? I saw where there was a shooting at school there.
 
Good Afternoon,

I have been paying all day for taking Friday off and I am still not caught up. I don't know what I am doing tonite, its suppose to be Ellen Barretts Slo-Robics but I think I might do a Turbo Jam.

Lisa-forum working for you its pretty quick here at work.

Mary-sounds like a scary thing going on there.

Murphy-I don't like LIC either I do something else.
 
Good Evening,

I just decided to do my scheduled workout I came home from work really tired so I am lucky I got any workout in.
 
Hello

Day got away from me yesterday and didn't make it here. Work is going to be busy this week.

Mary - you should have sailed through those leg presses with all the LB workouts you've been doing! I bet they were easy ;)

Lisa - I got threat warnings twice when looking at the website so perhaps it was something to do with that. It's fine now.

Murphy - Have you tried any of the premixes on LIC - you might prefer some of them?

Roxie - like you say at least you got something done.

Yesterday was PS BBA and today I'm doing AS as a sub for Cardio Fusion. DD did OK on Sunday at the competition - she was a bit disappointed but she knows she's got to work harder.
Went to the cinema last night to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel which was a laugh.
Right, time to dive in to work!
 
Today is all ab work. I have noticed that since I have been doing more of the LIS, my stomach is getting jiggly again. If I don't work that area at least every other day, it does south - literally. I hope her next series includes ab work because I really need it.

Ronne - I have tried one or two of the premixes on LIC and I am just not feeling any of them. I do like the bonus step routine, but it is not really a "step" routine. There is nothing tricky, dancy or fast - so I can keep up!

Hi to everyone.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is EB's Zen Sculpt. Its raining and gray out today but its suppose to be 60 so it won't be cold.

Murphy-I am like you if I don't work my abs at least 3 times a week it starts to slide. The nice thing about these workouts there is alot of core work and abdominal work and I can tell my abs like it.

Ronne-hope your daughter makes all 10's at her next meet. I didn't get any warnings but I couldn't get the website to load all weekend. Good job with your workout.
 
Hi everyone, yes it seems the website problems have been corrected, thank goodness! I did STS TB today (the premix with out the bonus sections). WOW, I haven't done this one in it's entirety since it came out, TOUGH for me. The bench presses about did me in....barely got the 16 reps, then I could only eek out 9 reps instead of 12 the second time. Wondered, am I THAT weak? Then realized, I was pressing 65 lbs not the 55 lbs I thought I was doing and the weight I have on my sheet! I got to the disc part (the last triset), dvd froze, was wiped out, so stopped, so didn't get the abs in. I like this w/o so much I really need to sit down with the download version and make it up since my dvd freezes. The wind is supposed to be back today in all it's glory (they are saying 80 mph gusts). I'm ready to ship this wind to you all in the east!

Mary, I avoid Leg presses, especially those in ME!

Roxie, wtg on working out even after a hard day at work....I don't think I could do it!

Murphy, it just gets tougher keeping up with all the jiggly parts as you get older! Aren't you our baby as far as 40's go?

Ronne, did you ever say what type of work you do? I thought your post said DRIVE into work, and I thought, she works out of her house where is she driving to? then I read it right.....ok, I admit, I hadn't had all my coffee yet so was a bit bleary eyed :) Ah, I bet you don't drink coffee either!
 
forgot to post, DH's company (you know the name, right?) had a big US lay off yesterday. DH didn't hear anything so I guess his job is safe....still waiting on offer letter....guess they are waiting for some signature. kind of depressing in the office.......in my area they have about 5% employees and 95% contractors....it's amazing they are still cutting....all to boost upper mgmt salaries
 
Hi girls! Today did MMA KB, had to dust it off! Lisa, are you going on vacation? Hope everything works out for DH. Sometimes I think the economy is getting better, really that we are doing better, then I drive past the gas station and gas have gone up almost 50 cents overnight! $3.80 a gallon here. Everything is so expensive! Ok, I'm done! Roxie, you are dedicated to work out after work like that. I do that also, but I get home sooner than you. Murphy, I hardly ever work my abs alone. I just dread AB work! Ronne, can your DD do back flips and such? Very impressive, I used to dream of bouncing across the floor! Jody, you out there? Well, have to run to the drug store and get gas. I shouldn't have been so lazy yesterday! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did Ellen Barrett's Zen Sculpt and it would have been a good workout but we ate having severe weather and where my mom and sister live a tornado was headed towards them so myself brother was freaking out and kept texting me but all are well.

Mary-I don't know where this motivation is coming from but I just can't seem to not workout. Gas went up 10 cents here overnight. I am beginning to believe that the economy will never get better.

Lisa-wholly mooly on those leg presses I can't do that much.

Hello

Murphy - that's funny because I thought my abs looked their best after doing the LIS rotation with not so many standard core sections! Shows how things work differently for different people!

Roxie - bad news about the tornado and winds. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all.

Lisa - I'm an editor (schoolbooks). An exciting day is a trip to the post office!! Yes, of course I drink coffee!! Couldn't get up in the morning without it. Don't drink tea, though. I don't like it :confused:. I cannot believe how much you can bench press!!! That is amazing! I guess that's what STS did for you. I do 35 lbs! These are scary times workwise, everywhere.

Mary - not yet, she's working up to them! How's the UB coming along? Are you feeling better?

Did PS SLA today. Missed out the calves. I've decided I'm not going to work them anymore, I just don't think they need it. Only three days to go on my rotation! Then I think I'm going to take a break from 6 day rotations for a bit.
