Starting us off, slept in late, ahhhhhh, put title in for luck for a good sleep week :)

BAck with my w/o. CSS express + step premix. It was a little much for me after STS TB yesterday (the step part, forgot there was a bit of weights in there). Feels very humid so sweat up a storm.

Good Evening,

I spent the whole weekend shopping got alot of bargins and then the big bargin came when we got home today we bought a boat for 800.00 that just needs new seat coverings and carpet on the floor, guess I have more motivation to lose weight. I bought a pair of shorts in a size 4 was wearing a 6 I was totally excited about that. Our heat finally broke today its only in the 70's right now with a little humidity but it feels so much better then 106.

Lisa-hope your title brings us all luck, awesome job with your workouts.
 
Fitover40: CSS express after TB - bet you're feeling pretty good today!

Roxie: Congrats on your boat and wearing a 6!

Hi all

Lisa - think you jinxed me! I had a crap night's sleep last night! Aaarrgghhh!

Roxie - wow, that really is a shopping trip! A boat!!? Impressed.

Jody - yes, I was heartbroken. I was pleased for Federer but Murray was so good.

Did Crossfire yesterday. Loved it! It just flew by - it wasn't quite as tough as I'd been expecting (I was still a sweaty wreck!). Only thing I didn't do was the jack push-ups, did them on my knees first time round, then took a break second time. I feel like push-ups are really hurting my right shoulder so that's my excuse!
Going for a facial today so missing out on my workout.
Excited to hear about Cathe's new workouts. Can't believe she's already planning a new series.
 
Took a rest day yesterday, felt crappy. Just finished TTM. I put the blue band closer to my knee and it felt much better. My knee hurt last time so let's see how it goes this time.

Lisa - yes, let's hope the title brings us all some luck.
Roxie - I thought I was a bargain shopper; great job.
Ronne - sorry to hear about the crappy sleep but glad to hear you liked CF.
Jody - send some of that sleep to Lisa. ;-)

Hi to Jennifer, Mary and Becky and anyone I missed.

Murphy
 
Hi girls! We are home! Hope everyone had a good week! We had a nice time, lots of family, food, drink. I did get in workouts tho! So glad to be home, it was so hot, no air in the cottage! Ronne, I can't believe how fast you got the new ones! I am going to try TTM today. Took CF on the trip, I really enjoyed that one. And we have more to look forward to! Murphy, is it cooling off by you yet? Nice here today! Lisa, send that sleep this way! Where is DH this week? Roxie, a 4? Congrats! That is impressive. Great deal on the boat, that will be fun for all of you. Jody, how are you? Thought of you, BIL was talking about the Amish! Becky, how are you doing? Hi to you Jennifer! Have to get the house back together, do some cleaning! How does the house get dirty with no one in it? Have a good day! Mary
 
Happy Monday! I didn't want too intense of a w/o because we are hiking another 14er tomorrow. This time Mt. Evans, there is a road you can drive all the way to the top (14264 ft), but where is the fun in that, right? So will park at the bottom and hike up, it's shorter than some of the other hikes we've done, only about 5 miles and 2000 ft elevation gain. I picked this one because mountain goats are known to be at the top and I wanted to see mountain goats again and this time hopefully before they start shedding their coat! Anyway, I did KPC, skipped High intensity drills and abs, that came in at about 40 min.

Jennifer, Sometimes you don't realize how tired your body is until you try to do something, but I was determined to follow through.

Mary, Welcome back! I don't think I can function with no a/c anymore! DH went to SF today, they asked for people to take later flight offering $300 travel voucher, so he took it. We are going to have to find somewhere good to go to use it before a year is up.

Ronne, sorry I jinxed your sleep :( I watched most of the match, I was pulling for Murray too.

Murphy, I still can't believe you are using the blue band for the new w/o's , what band is everyone else using? Am I the only wimp?

Jody, I had 1/2 a lime leftover so threw it in a strawberry/banana smoothie, gave it a nice little zing. My eating has not been the best lately either. And I always seem to find an excuse :) For example, for the hike tomorrow I need to hydrate up and carb load a bit. That helps make it easier providing energy and avoiding possible altitude headaches.

Roxie, congrats on the deal and the size 4, you've earned them!

Becky, are you still with us?
 
Good Afternoon,

I have been busy this morning so just now getting to check in. I went to spin class this morning and then I have a PT session tonite. Its alot cooler here today just alot of humidity.

Mary-welcome back and good job working out even though it was hot.

Murphy-good job with your workout.

Ronne-don't be to impressed it needs alot of work.

Lisa-the whole sleeping thing is not happening.

Jennifer-I was wearing a 6 but now 4s fit better but thank you.
 
Smorgasbord workout today- bike ride warm up, TTM step, step tabata, 30/20 Hiit, then Back from BB TS and finally abs from Weider x factor. I felt bad that I didn't go to the party this past Sat when I saw my besties on FB.

Roxie, your hard work w/ PT is showing up in your new size if not on the scale. I wonder what your inches lost have been?
Ronne, I felt sad for Murray- , great fight and he was cute. "I'm getting closer" I do want rackets, we had some but they got lost in a move.
Mary Mary! Nice to see you~ Sounds like you all had fun. Excellent job on keeping up with workouts while you were gone. I like both of the new ones.
Lisa, a (somewhat crazy) friend of mine puts avocado, including the pit, and garlic in her green smoothies. I hope you find some goats tomorrow!
Murphy, my old tied up band broke so today I just did wide low jacks to sub. Good idea to move your band up closer to knees. I love firewalker stuff so I'm gonna have to either sacrifice my grey band or get a new ones.

Hoping for blissful night of sleep for us all tonight~
 
Good Evening,

PT kicked my butt again tonite I will feel this tomarrow. DD was over and we were suppose to go clean but by the time we looked a vaccums it was to late. It was so nice here today so glad the heat broke.

Jody-1" in the waist and 1/2" off the hips as of last Wednesday. Good job with your mish mosh today.
 
Hi all. No workout for me today, unplanned rest day. DH and I went to see Spiderman last night. It was good, I recommend it. We went to the 8 o'clock show and did not get home until close to 11 - the movie is slightly over 2 hours plus you have the previews... Also, when we got home, the kids were still up - thanks grandma! When we left, she was adamant that the kids would be in bed at their bedtime, "I don't play around with that and plus they have school (camp) tomorrow." So much for that. Anyway, I did not get to bed late and then I had a headache and stomach I could not get rid of. I feel better now and hope to get something in tonight.

What do you think of the new workouts? Am I the only one who will buy just about anything Cathe puts out - a dvd on watching paint dry? :) The new workouts sound right up my alley.

Waves to all and welcome back Mary (and great job working out while away).

Murphy
 
Hello!

Murphy - I want to go and see Spiderman. Saw the trailer the other week and it looked good. Another good Brit villain, I see! I know what you mean about Cathe's DVDs. I am wondering if I really need another series, but I can see I will probably give in ;)

Roxie - congrats on the inch loss!

Jody - good mix of stuff for your workout. Do you use the Workout Manager?

Lisa - hope the mountain is a good one and you get to see loads of goats!!

Mary - welcome back. Sounds like you had a great trip. I can't believe you work out on your holiday. Enjoy your cleaning!

High Reps today. Back on track with this month's rotation. Going to an open evening at DD's new school today. We're in the last two weeks of term here and it's getting really busy again.
 
Just waiting for my GF before we head out.

Roxie, You sound like a parrot with the weather....repeating what I say a few days later.....at least you get a preview from me of what to expect :)

Murphy, I'll buy anything Cathe, but I do have to admit those w/o's look great, much more interesting to me than the ones we just got.

Ronne, why new school for DD? Is it the next level up?

Jody, I will be disappointed if I don't find goats! Avocado and garlic, can't say I'll try that one at all. I bet it's good for you though.

Waves to Mary, I must get going!
 
Good Morning,

I didn't sleep very well again last night and there was no spin class this morning so I will go to the gym and do something tonite. I am also liking the sound of Cathes new workouts I didn't buy STS but I think I will this series.

Lisa-sorry for sounding like a parrot have fun on your climb today.

Murphy-youngest DD and I are going to see Magic Mikes tomarrow night first time I have been to the theater in a few years. I know I will have to wear jeans and take a coat don't know why they keep it so cold one of the reasons I don't go.

Ronne-good job getting back on track.
 
Hi girls! Today did KCM SS, upper body. Running short on time, kids had cross country, band practice, and other stuff. Today I'm being the chauffeur! Lisa, enjoy your hike! Hope it's a beautiful day! Murphy, don't you just love grandmas!? Jody, you were being creative! I need to start thinking like that. Roxie, hope you get some sleep tonite. How much longer with the trainer? Ronne, Spain will be coming soon? I did TTM yesterday, that was a challenge! I don't know how you all jumped on a 10 inch step! It was nice to work out on vacation. SIL does triathlons, she does Cathe with me when we are together, she loved TB! I'm so excited for the new ones! I"m sure we won't get them for a while, something to look forward to! Have a good day! Mary
 
Hi Girls! Today I did a BB TS workout (step, chest, tri) plus chased it with a little Barry Boot Camp chest/abs I had out to refresh my memory of what those workouts are like.
I like the idea of the new Cathe workouts a whole lot, but wonder if "doing" the series will still mean working out for an hour a day. After I add set up and fiddle fart around time, an hour turns into more than an hour. I'm looking closely at my CTX and BB thinking those series' are close cousins. I don't know if I will ever get to STS in full due to length and equipment usage, prob not until other stuff in my life is on idle.
Speaking of which, I got into one program so far, haven't heard about the other yet, its deadline was later.
Mary, you hit the ground running, no rest for wicked? : )
Roxie, that movie looks fun, me and the besties were thinking of going.
Lisa, I haven't looked too closely at the new workouts, but I can't imagine not having every Cathe at this point- despite the fact that I am overwhelmed by my choices as it is. I do like the new workouts
Ronne, I do use the WO manager to log my workouts and sometimes to help me figure out premixes. Do you? Anyone else?
Murphy, see Lisa ^ plus sorry about your childcare last night. At least the movie was good. We've seen so many of the superhero movies but didn't like the last batman and dd is thinking she can't buy Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, but sounds like you recommend it!
Dance and maybe walk/jog tonight. Send me some good vibes this week while I try make my school decisions.
 
Mary-4 weeks left with trainer but I have a membership to the gym until next May.

Jody-sending good vibes your way. The new workouts are suppose to be 30mins without a lot of equipment.
 
Good Evening,

I went to the gym and spent and hour on the elliptical it was really hot and muggy took alot of effort to finish.
 
Hi all

Lisa - hope you're having fun. Yes, DD is leaving primary school and going to secondary, it's a big step. (I think it's the equivalent of junior high and high together.)

Mary - sounds like you're a busy mum at the moment! Yes, we're off on holiday in just over a month! Can't believe it.

Jody - I always get muddled up, I actually meant the Workout Blender! But I do use the workout manager, always log my workouts there so I know what I've done! I know what you mean about the new series, I'm still getting to grips with LIS! I don't have STS and will probably never get it.

Roxie - not heard of Magic Mike. Any good?

Did Imax2 today. It's been a long time since I did that. It was fun. I might go and see Prometheus tonight. Been meaning to go and it's only on one screen now, so I need to hurry up.
