Happy Sunday! Today did my row and a Bob Harper video, yesterday did back and bi's from meso 2. My back is actually feeling it today! That never happens! Lisa, what did you do instead of working out yesterday? Roxie, how was boating? The baby shower is today? Have fun! Jody, are you having to study a lot? Ronne, how was shopping? My favorite extra curricular activity! Murphy, did you guys get away? It is so humid here! 91% when I woke up! We are greeting hurricane Isaac's leftovers! Hope everyone has a good day! Mary

Hi ladies
No workouts for me this weekend. DH's eldest been staying with us this weekend. Went for Italian food last night and had a walk this morning. Nice relaxing weekend.
Lisa - are you doing the whole UB PM? That's long!
Mary - Shopping was very successful, DD was very pleased with all her purchases. I also slipped in a top for me as well!

Howdy, I did CF and some chest and back from PUB.
Mary, I'm not studying too much yet. I'm hoping that this material is just not the instructor's strong suit (mathy density gas laws, chem stuff). I feel sorry for students who don't already know it; it's not being covered very well imo.
Lisa, how ya doing today? You seem a little down, maybe.
Roxie, I wish I could think of a party without thinking about the cake, but here I am...so, how was the cake? I noticed Target had lots of baby stuff on sale this week.
Ronne, your weekend sounds lovely, nice family time.

Hi all
Slowly getting back in the saddle with workouts. Did AB express PM (1-10 once) and then a SM segment (no equipment). DD gone to town with friend (and mum) and going to the funfair this afternoon. So glad I don't have to take her for once!
Jody - wow, did you do the whole of CRF? and then weights? Impressive!

Ronne, I left out the last segment, Plyo Tabata (5:20) and of course I never do Stretch (6:45) so it was only about 40 min before body parts. Oh and I got impatient and ff thru half the warm up. : D Good luck getting back into workouts, you usually make it look seamless.
I was going to do CSS today, but not in the mood for anymore speedy squats with wts so I'm looking at a weider x factor or a Cathe Hiit plus some more body parts with PUB down pm. BBL to see who is working out today and let ya what I got done.
ETA I did a WXF, core and shoulders. Pikes on the ball are hard!

Hi girls! Today was TTM. I am done with the freaking boat for a while! Ronne, sounds like the perfect weekend! Enjoy the quiet time! Jody, maybe you can tutor your peers? I have had some rotten instructors like that, where you have to teach yourself the info. Roxie, how was the shower? Lisa, what are you up to today? Murphy, do you back to work this week? We are going off to the pool, last day of the pool and my vacation! Have a good Monday! Mary

I'm here! Not down Jody, just not too chatty and busy with other things. I did LICh in totality today. Spent Sat with sis, demi dying her hair....for someone who said she has not much gray, uh, there was a lot (she has very thin, thin, thin hair, the gray made it look like she had even less). Then the kicker is, she told me her friends tell her she looks 35, saaaay whaaaaat? She is 54, and looks every bit! VERY overweight. I guess she's living in a dream world. Then yesterday, had sushi with DS and DIL, then went shopping, got foam topper for bed--even though we have a smart # bed, it still isn't comfortable some days, my lower back has been feeling it more lately, darn age, looked at ellipticals. I think I don't want to drop a load on it, so going for mid-range, and going to go see if Dick's will price match on this one today: LIVESTRONG LS13.0E Elliptical | LIVESTRONG® Fitness. Cleared out the room where I want to put it (had to move heavy recliner loveseat my GF was supposed to pick up, so now she HAS to come get it, for now will crawl over it in garage to get to freezer). Will let you know what I decide on the elliptical, I'm kind of excited!
Ronne, yes I did the WHOLE 4DS UB PM...it was my punishment for missing w/o prev day....lol Enjoy the quiet today.
Roxie, you must be off having fun too, you've been quiet as well.
Mary, enjoy your last day of summer vacay! I'm honestly tired of the heat! Good with you for keeping with the rower as long as you did! I hope I end up liking ellipiticizing (is that a word?)
Jody, I think it's awesome that you are going to school, what a fab way to keep alzheimers at bay!
Murphy, you out there?
ETA: bought the elliptical, delivery set for Thursday!

Hi all
Roxie - belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Sounds like a nice celebration and a nice weekend.
Lisa - you have a treadmill as well don't you? American houses are so big!! Does your house ever feel too big for just you and DH or do you like being able to stretch out?
Mary - hope you enjoyed your last day of hols. I'm back properly tomorrow.
Jody - so basically you do all the tough stuff and then some more tough stuff?!!!
Did HR LB PM today. It was a bit of a struggle to be honest, may be some aches and pains tomorrow! Off into town this pm with DD for more shopping!! Need to get something for DH for our wedding anniversary which is coming up soon. Completely lacking in inspiration!!

Hi all. My, everyone has so much going on. I got the little ones off to school today. No tears and no fussing; I hope that is a good sign. I am still out of commission. My back is 90 % better but there is a slight twinge on my right side. I am supposed to rest it a little longer but I feel like I have been "resting" forever. First it was my neck then it was my side - WTH! I swear, every year more stuff starts falling apart for no reason... I am walking and stretching but I feel flabby. I am watching my diet so hopefully the weight won't go up.

Good Morning,
I would so rather be on the lake right now instead of working, thank god its only a 4 day work week. I have a dr. appointment at 2:15 today to try and get my hormones in balance I am not sleeping well my mood is all over the place and I can get a hot flash in and instant. Tonite I will go to the gym and do wts and a little running.
Murphy-hope your back gets better soon.

Do you ever see someone doing a w/o and think, yea, I'll do that one? So I did Crossfire Max (thanks Jody).
Roxie, I'm sorry to hear about all your hormone issues, believe me I understand! I'm finding when I'm stressed that I feel like I have no estrogen even though I take it every day! Sounds like you and I might be in the same boat (haha, wish we were in your boat on the lake), Sleep, hormones, stress, work, age, sigh...... Have you ever had your hormone levels tested? You are still cycling though, right? Maybe it's more an imbalance for you than having no estrogen like I do (somehow I feel less womanly saying that...hahaha).
Ronne, Yes I have a treadmill too. Starting to need a little less impact. Our house is pretty big but we still have it full and use every space except one bedroom (which still has DS20's stuff in it). Back in 2000, when the kids got to middle school, we needed more room (their bedrooms was soooo small), so we finished our basement, that brought us up from 2000 sq ft to 3200 sq ft. The 2 smaller bedrooms are now my sewing room and then the cardio room. The 2 basement bedrooms, one is still my son's and one is DH's office. It was cheaper to finish the basement than to move! Now it's cheaper to stay in the bigger house than sell and buy smaller. The only thing I wish I didn't have was all the yardwork, ugh, I'm not into gardening at all.
Murphy, sounds like age is hitting you too! As I watched Cathe bounce around today in CrossFire Max, I wondered if she is getting aches and pains. Seems her w/o's are getting harder!
Mary, are you back at work?
Jody, how's school? Teaching yourself again today?

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know DD is at the hospital her contractions are 6 minutes apart lasting about 1 1/2 minutes she is suppose to let me know if I need to be there.
Lisa-I don't know if they have been tested and I am still on the pill so I think it is just and imbalance. Having a hot flash as I type this.

Roxie, let us know what happens!!! Prayers to all of you! So exciting! Back to work today, went well. Painful getting out of the bed at 5:30 tho! Today did PLB. Lisa, CF extreme? How much longer is that than the regular work out? Sounds painful! Ronne, DH and I will be married 15 years tomorrow, it goes so fast! He is at the station, we don't do presents. Wish we did! We are saving to go to Hawaii for our 20th! Enjoy shopping. Jody, when is your first test? Murphy, hope you feel better soon! Mope the kids enjoyed their first day back! Well, have to go start my daily pick up! Mohave a good evening, Mary

Mary, I think I made up a w/o, guess it's just called Crossfire 
Roxie, it won't be long for your DD now! I had those about 3 wks before mine finally came (and that's when I got the stretch marks!) It will be interesting to see what doc says since you are on BC.
Has anyone found my brain? I seem to have lost it.....

Good Evening,
Tonite I went to the gym and did the TM for 15 minutes and then wts, I really don't like doing things on my own. My new KCMs came in to day but I will have to try and do them after the gym.
Lisa-I cancelled the dr. appointment since I didn't know what was happening with DD.

Late night drive thru posting- just dance class this eve and tri this morn. Doing Thriller in dance, zombie belly dancers, yea!
Roxie exciting about dd, brings it home that soon baby will be here.
Lisa, I'm reading all the Daniel Amen books on brain health and anti aging for the brain. Maybe you'd be interested?
Ill update you guys on school tomorrow- it just feels weird right now and sort of awkward. I'm trying to stay out of trouble.
