Hi Kathy! Yes, rotations are good for the not thinking!!! I'm thinking I should have one. 
Hope you enjoy your cardio.
Aw-oh, if Chris isn't here by now, does that mean your head is still bothering you? Hope not!! Hottie, how's your eye today?
I'm crazy..... I had a new dvd I just had to try -- Piloxing. It was fun, but that's three days with kickbox stuff in a row -- too much!! It's a combination of kickbox, pilates, and ballet. It was a really good workout -- very heart pumping with a lot of toning mixed in, but the toning had my heart rate up there too. Amazing, since it was completely low impact and I did the whole thing barefoot! But, I really have to do something different tomorrow. I probably should have planned a run today, since it's not raining.... it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. So much for an outdoor egg hunt (the closest I get to an Easter celebration). Maybe we'll have to do it today, though everything's wet because it's been raining all week! And cold!!! I think I'm finally ready for spring, though I do not yet have that "itch" to run, which is, I guess, why I didn't plan it today. I hope I get it soon.
Oh, one funny thing.... Larry walked in while I was working out and said "that doesn't look like Cathe." and I said "it's not Cathe." and he said "Oh no! No Cathe?!" acting horrified and I said "Brazil Butt Lift's not Cathe either" and he got all happy and said "well, yes, Brazil Butt Lift is alright though." Maybe you had to be there.
Waves to Joanne..... is everyone busy with Easter prep? Kathy, how was the busy Good Friday?

Hey girls!
I got up a tiny bit later today, and then we got out to do papers and THEN to the grocery store to pick up last minute Easter dinner stuff.
I still have a dull ache in my head, but NOTHING like earlier.
I have more baking and cleaning to do today. I decided to get the boxed carrot cake for my mom's bday cake, so I have to do that, plus a few cold pies (chocolate for Zach and a lemon one, I probably will ditch if I get too busy). I'm SOOOOO jealous of people that have nothing to do today but go out and enjoy the amazing weather. We broke records with 74 yesterday and today is supposed to get up into the 80's. !!!! Sweet, but I'm stuck inside, dangit. And then I have to go pick up my mom, and we're coloring easter eggs . SO that takes a few hours.....
I was kind of sad talking about not being able to get in a workout today, and Jake offered that I could do a run up and down our street while he rode his bike. Maybe I will!!! LOL!. and then could do some drills in the yard. Would LOVE to!!!!
I still haven't decided on a rotation for monday. I do want to do cardio every day though. Pick something for me!!!!
Kathy: I know I like to have something lined up for me too , no thinking required. Hope you have a great day today!
Beth: My head is better. I feel groggy from my period though. But that's ok. No big head hurt = happy me!... Your workouts sound fun though! I know there's that burn and firm pilates by ellen barret that gets my heart rate up there too, I like those kind of workouts, but they kind of surprise you!... LOL @ Larry and the Butt Lift. ... sorry your weather is crappy for an egg hunt. That is fun to do, even if it's not easter. You guys could come here!
Hey Joanne and Hottie!!!
I better go start my work...!!

good morning kathy! I woke up with another TOM heaache I want to do cardio or a circuit today if I can ever get out of bed. I got evee to stay at the food of the bed last night so I could feel her head on my feet but since I've woken up she's decided to snuggle right next to me. (she has been licking the laptop.) I don't know if she'll ever go back in her crate...i love this affection too much!
I've had this post up for hours...probably everyone has written something up already...

Chris, so glad your head is not as bad today! Hope you get out an enjoy that run. Someone at school yesterday was joking that we are in the 40s and her sister lives in Minnesota and it's in the 80s there. Crazy!! Enjoy it!
Yeah, that workout was amazing.... my hrm said I burned more than 500 calories! That's pretty wild for low/no impact. You do wear one pound gloves, so that always helps.
Hottie, too funny about Evee and the crate. Gina's been sleeping on our bed lately -- I think because of the cold. Usually she wants her own space and sleeps on a dog bed at the foot of the bed. She's got something going on with her ear... thought we found it last night, but it's still clearly bothering her. So, I think we're headed to the vet later. I mixed in some of the Lotus today and man did she love that -- even with the bison meat next to it!
Maybe I'll have some breakfast finally!!

No run. No time. So busy and stressed. Freaked a little. Now things are better. No headache, but I'm so fatigued. Ah well, can't have everything!
Yes, Beth , I think we traded weather! ALthough we had flooding rains in the beginning of the week. We get it all!
Gonna put some egg coloring pics up on FB!

Happy Easter everyone! I think I saw a bunny rabbit!
Yesterday I did the Double cardio step premix from 4DS. It was good for me. At first I was worried that it wasn't intense enough for the calories I was burning but then I fatigued halfway through probably because of TOM. I'm thinking of doing AS + p57 express workout (since I forgot to bring it back to Beth at the RT and then when I went to the hotel counter I couldn't remember her room number and then I realized I could probably leave it by name but then there was a line blah blah). I've been up since 430a again. I called my mom and talked to her for two hours. I thought about calling Beth since I knew she was up but then I didn't want to interrupt her workout!
I had a super productive day yesterday, and I hope to be productive again but maybe not as much -- I was pooped by the end of the day! That Tuesday makeover day keeps on looking better!
Enjoy the rest day Kathy!

Good morning and Happy Easter! I was not up, Hottie! Had a very lazy morning so far, staying in bed forever, it seemed. Finally got up, and.... I did it! I went back and did the Firm Volume 1. It was a good workout!! At first I was thinking the person who said it was as intense as tonique was crazy, but then it got to the floor work and I realized they must have been comparing it to tonique mat, and yeah, it was up there. I think half the workout was on the mat, but I didn't check the time.
There is a great blue heron on our fence!! It's crazy! Larry's trying to get a picture. Maybe it's going to eat all the frogs out of our hot tub pond. I hope so -- I'm so sick of all the croaking, but now we have an enormous amount of tadpoles in an aquarium on our kitchen counter (yes, that's what our house is like!). We are not sure what we are going to do with all of those frogs, but we may take them to the pond at the school. We don't want them!
It's not raining yet, but it's very gloomy. We may all go back to bed and watch movies in bed all day. I did hide plastic eggs for the kids yesterday, and then when they were mean to each other last night I scooped them all up and took them away. They haven't yet asked for them back -- still afraid of the Mean Mom, I suppose.

Happy Easter!
Had a very busy day, and I'm off to work in an hour.
One night I can get through it!
I'm sitting here looking at a kitchen full of dirty dishes and I'm not doing them. I am so leaving them for Greg (he's off tonight). I busted my ass for 2 and 1/2 days. i'm done!
It's crazy how I can control myself on eating dinner (no chips, only small servings of salads, turkey burger, light roll, mustard), but when it comes to the cakes and cookies, I'm uncontrollable!
I've gone downstairs a few times to get things, and look LONGINGLY at my workout room and DVDs. I miss them so!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow, still. Fack.
Maybe I'll do April Rotation. I want something to follow.... crapity crap crap.
See you tomorrow!!!

Wow, I'm tired. So I did AS but instead of P57 I did a bunch of stuff from Travel Fit and then I could not take the smell of lunch anymore and chowed down on yam/onion/kale quiche. We just had curry too so I think I just negated any calorie burn. I have to drop by lab as well but I'm glad today wasn't as intense as yesterday. Tomorrow starts a new week!
Beth -- that blue heron is crazy! when you say "hot tub pond" is it an intentional "hot tub pond" or an unintentional "hot tub pond?" It was gloomy in the morning, Joe and I did shopping, and then it cleared up so now we have three teeny gardenias planted that will soon become BIG hedges and a jasmine tree that will hide an ugly fence. Here's hoping!
Chris -- dishes!!! So, I was awesome last night and cleaned EVERYTHING while my curry was in pressure. Kitchen was spotless. Today at 7p? Sink is totally full. TWO PEOPLE. How can TWO people and a dog do that? Chris, I just have no control with the food at all so you're doing much better than me.
waiting for floors to dry and then labbity lab lab...
