Hey everyone! Didn't see a thread started. Got DH off to the airport, came back did B&G, ugh, been ages since I've done that one. Felt harder. I feel lethargic but I did it. I did sleep good last night, hope this continues. Now waiting for the energy to surface again! I started cleaning house some, 30 min later I don't wanna do anymore! I just can't seem to get myself on any schedule. I still have to shower too! Never enough days in the weekend!
 
Hi Lisa,tx for starting thread- I was waiting on you but I knew you'd be running dh this morn. I have BG ready to go tomorrow I think- some sort of leg...I will prob just do the standing tho and abs. You guys will be discombobulated for a while with hubby traveling.

I did bootcamp this morn.

I hope everyone ended up enjoying the weekend (good sleep, good times and no back pain!). I've gotten some stuff done around here. Darn it, every time I move a box or look in a corner a doggy hair tumble weed appears.
 
Good Evening,

Today I went for a 2 mile walk in the park and then went to DDs old house and layed out on there deck then DD came over to my house and we walked 2miles together so I got a good workout in today and got to enjoy some sun. I am still having problems sleeping and now I have pain in my left eye and under my eye.

Lisa-good job with B&G thats a tough one.

Jody-I hate dog hair balls our dog has black hair and its tough so hard to sweep.
 
Who all preordered? I think I might skip it, but I've got rhythmic step in the cart along with preorder. Do I bite or use the kajillion workouts I own?
 
I preordered, but only the digital version....been having too many issues with the dvds of late. The nice thing about digital was no shipping! I hate paying so much for shipping!
 
Hi all

Weekend was good - sun shone and I got some gardening done yesterday. Also did some yoga which my body is really in need of at the moment. Out for a meeting this morning so did Hiit Pyramid when I got back for a quick blast.

I preordered a couple of days ago - Cardio Kicks/Circuit Max was on deal of the day so I added that on and got free shipping.

Lisa - where's DH off to this time? He's not back to NJ again is he?

Jody - I hate B&G. I only ever do premixes and I really have to force myself to do it. It's just too tough for me and there aren't enough breaks.

Roxie - sounds like you had a nice weekend.
 
Hi girls! Yesterday was YR, today I think will be PUB. Lisa, will DH be traveling every week? Ronne, how were your nights out? Jody, I preordered. I don't like to miss out! The discount wasn't that much this time tho. Nmurphy, how are you feeling? Roxie, send that warm weather here! It is supposed to be in the 20's tonite. 80's last week. Furnace is back on! Today I think we will go bowling. Yesterday we had dinner with friends, have to get moving! Mary
 
Hi everyone, I decided to do Step Blast since last time I did it I couldn't get thru it....well, couldn't get thru it again, got to the step challenge and just didn't have the energy to do the intervals. Maybe next time.......:eek:

DH is in NJ again, this acct is supposed to go thru mid-April so will be traveling every week then we will see what happens after that. It does seem to be the type of work he likes (not so much bureaucracy as his other job). Hoping it's not travel every week (was told 50% travel).

Ronne, there's enough breaks in B&G for me.....because I hit PAUSE a lot! :p

Mary, that sounds like our weather last week. this week 70's, I plan to take off Wed and hike with my grand-dog.

Roxie, I still find dog-balls 2 yrs later since our dog's been gone. Sometimes I think that I'll never get all the animal fur out of the house :)

Murphy, are you sticking with the w/o's? It's been tough for me, I soooo want to skip most days lately.

Not sure if you all ever did Cardio Coach audio workouts. Well the guy that did them died yesterday(don't know what from). I had been thinking of pulling these back out to try to get back to some form of running, also think these would be good for Jody to do on her little treks. He was so inspirational. So for many reasons, I just feel kind of blah today......
 
Good Morning,

Went out to DDs new house yesterday afternoon and they have the master bedroom bathroom and closet framed out and the babys room is framed while we were there SIL framed out the pantry so they are moving right along plan to put the rafters for the roof up Wednesday. Its suppose to be really windy here today but in the 80's all week. I didn't sleep but maybe and hour last night so I am really tired today. I will go for a walk after work and then do KCM's Lift Sculpting workut.

Lisa-hope they were right about dh traveling. I only do the premixes on Step Blast.

Mary-enjoy PUB.

Jody-no preorder for me just not into high impact anymore. I am waiting for KCM's new ones suppose to be high intensity but low impact.

Ronne-it was a gorgeous day dd layed out in the sun for less time then I did and she is burnt I am just tingling.
 
Hi all. Today was AB. This is another one I love to hate. Isn't one of the new dvd's supposed to be AB on steriods? I can't even imagine what she has in store for us. Yikes.

Jody - I preordered. I don't think I bought anything extra, I just paid the shipping - which I hate to do. Being in NJ I get hit with the 7% tax and the shippping.

Lisa - what part of NJ is DH in?

Ronne/Lisa - I too don't pull-out B&G too often. I have a love/hate relationship with it. :)

Mary - our weather is funny too. Last week it was in the high 70's and now it is cold again. WTH is going on?

Hi Roxie and anyone I missed.

Murphy
 
Today was LIC. I really think I need to do that on no risers. I reduced the risers from two to one and I can get through it, but no risers would be so much easier. :)

Have a great day everyone.

Murphy
 
Anyone notice if Rhythmic step one of the recent daily deals? It's 63 for pre order and that dvd. Lisa I have better luck with dvd than the downloads. Murphy, ugh to adding sales tax, too, but I guess it is just one price to pay for living in NJ, eh? lol.

I remember cardio coach being discussed frequently on open forum, but I've never used it. That is too bad that he passed. When was the last time he'd put out a workout?

Roxie - walk sounds nice and congrats to dd on getting house stuff moving forward.
Mary- I bet I am done with heat til next Jan or so. From now on out, I just try not to run the air too long. My girls and I like warmish house (79-81) but others melt here.
Ronne- I didn't get to BG yesterday anyway but I love that workout. I think its the firewalkers. I'll let yall know what I get done today.

I've got appt today for skin screen at derm. That seems more uncomfortable to me than the other. I guess I'd rather have someone peer closely at my cervix than my age spots!
 
Hello

Jody - I haven't noticed RS on offer yet. I've been looking most days but I could have missed it.

Murphy - I really like AB even though it's tough. I just hope she takes water breaks in the new one. I always appreciate that!

Roxie - sounds like DD's house is really coming along. I didn't know KCM was planning new stuff. Might go and check it out.

Lisa - hope you're feeling a bit better today. DH's job sounds good despite the travelling.

Mary - both nights out were good thanks. Discovered a new pub in the city centre - very nice place that also does food. Might try eating out there some time.

Dentist this morning - nothing to report, good news! Did Back/Biceps from 4DS plus abs and stretch. Felt good.
 
Hi everyone, no w/o here, I was sleeping too good! I think this HRT is working for me, now if I can just find my old energy! My sis loves to rub it in that she went thru meno naturally (she doesn't ever take any drugs), kind of made me feel like a wimp, but I have to do what's best for me, right? Oh, and no more hot flashes either, I'm hoping it only gets better and I get back my old vigor. Oh and to give you guys a good chuckle, my breast are filled out a bit more with the HRT too (I read a hormone book and that is one of the benefits of estrogen too).

Murphy, DH is in Jersey city. I always only use 1 riser for any w/o even if Cathe is using 2.

Jody, it's been years since Cardio Coach put out a w/o, they are so motivational though, I used them to get thru personal life challenges besides just exercise.

Ronne, the travel will be hard, but bless DH's heart he also took this job for me, so that I don't have to work. His retirement pay and increase in salary for the new job about covers what I make. For now I'm hanging in at work (things are soooo slow at work I just wonder how long it will last). I will take off a day a week, hopefully that will ease my pain in this job. I'm taking off tomorrow to take my grand-dog hiking, will see how that goes.

Mary, I guess you all got our cooler weather from last week. Poor DH failed to check the weather and is freezing in NJ. Actually wasn't too bad except maybe the wind chill and him with no jacket. I sure hope he doesn't have to travel every week, but initially a lot of travel.

Roxie, I need someone like you around to get me to exercise at night! I go home and just veg. I'm feeling like a slug. My jeans are tighter (might be partly due to just washed, but I'm scared to get on the scale.
 
Good Afternoon,

I have been a little busy this morning. I finally got a good night sleep and didn't want to get up so no workout for me but tonite DD and I are going to go for a walk and then we are going to start packing up stuff they don't use so its ready to go. Its in the 80's here again but the wind is blowing.

Ronne-it was mentioned on her facebook page I can't remember if its on the forums.

Lisa-I need you around to get me up in the mornings to workout and it sounds like my DH would love that drug.
 
Hi everyone! Today was PLB, I enjoyed it. I always like working legs tho! Lisa, I'm so glad you are starting to feel better! What a relief for you! What a great husband you have! Ronne, I love water breaks too. Sometimes wish they were longer! Jody, I totally agree with you about the skin check! Hope all went well. Roxie, sounds like you all are really making progress. Murphy, does your back feel better? We went bowling last night. Got my lifetime high score of...136! I am obviously not much of a bowler! The kids and I are going on a hike soon, hope it's not too wet! Have a good evening! Mary
 
Mary, High Fives on the 136! If you can do that w/o bumpers, you're my hero.
Murphy, the prob I have with lowering risers is that they never seem to get back to where they used to be, rather than being an intermediate step, so I hate to drop down, but I'm with you on doing it if that is what it takes. (In fact I dropped to 1 riser this aft during SJP, in order to get cranked up enough to reach the point of activation energy.)
I agree, Lisa has a great hubby. ::note to self, look for handsome man who would enjoy supporting me::
Roxie, I remember the wind in OK, it was weird to me.
Ronne, thanks for letting me know about Rhythmic Step. Maybe if it comes on as a daily deal it will be my sign to preorder. New pub sounds fun. : )

Skin check clear (although I wasn't super impressed with thoroughness) and I came home and did SJP step portion to w/u and learn then went on to the standing part of BG plus the core work. OK, I agree, its a toughie.

ps, today my hair looked like this http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&...&tbnw=139&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:27,s:0
