Morning Ladies,

This morning was Disc 13 Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and I'm hoping to get in a short run after work. Saturday was Powerstrikes, and a short run. Sunday was nothing but watching football.

Nothing exciting happened over the weekend. DD16 had a hard time in the 30 deg temps, and running in practically nothing. I guess there where a lot of girls that where having problems. One girl collapsed. :( DD12 had her first dance class, and had a great time because she was the only one there. :D

Have a great day!

Hi,

Today I am doing Kettlenetics. I did Lauren Brooks Kettlebell workout and a 1 mile run yesterday. For some reason my hip really hurts.

Laurie, is DD done with cross country now? How did you like meso 2? Hope you get your run in tonight. Glad youngest DD is enjoying dance class. Hopefully she will continue to like it.

DD17 has a choir concert tonight. DS11 flag football lost in the playoffs so they won't be playing tonight. DS11 and DS13 went to a cyclocross race with DH Sun. and had a great time. DS15 stayed home so he didn't miss the Packer game.

Have a great day.
 
Hello! Busy weekend was running here, there and everywhere. Did not get any time for "down time" so I am tired to day!:mad: I only fit in a walk on Sunday and that was it!:mad: Today I am getting back on my rotation, starting week 3 over again since I didn't do it last week. Today is IMAX1. Wish me luck! LOL!:p

DD had a nice visit in Madison with her girlfriend who's in the Hospital. They hope to have her released by the end of this week... DS's FB team won their game so he was thrilled! :)

Laurie, that is a very cool temp to be running in very little outer-wear! Brrrrr.... What kind of dancing is DD12 doing? Glad she liked it!

Hi Karen!
Hi Sue!
Hi Lala!
Hope you are all staying healthy!

Susan
 
Hello Ladies! Well, I survived IMAX last night. Afterwards I was coughing up a bunch of gunk so it must have jiggled some stuff loose!:rolleyes: Today I do not know what I will be doing. Kind of depends on DH's schedule, if I have to take DS to FB then it'll be a 50mn run/walk. If I do not have to take him then it's supposed to be Cardio & Weights.

Dreary day here and it looks that way for the rest of the week. Tonight is Biggest Loser night for me. It's the only show I insist on watching all week. Otherwise I don't really watch TV!

Take care everyone!
Susan
 
Morning Ladies,

Today was Kenpo Cardio+, and I added on the KM Cardio Challenge. After work I need to do Ab Circuit Weights & Plates. Yesterday after work it was so nice out I decided that Cami and I needed to get our run in. To tell the truth, I didn't think that I would get the run in if I didn't make our usual walk a run. :rolleyes: She did pretty good, but why did every dog in the neighborhood have to be walking or outside yesterday! :eek:

Karen, My chest muscles where really sore this morning until I got them moving with Kenpo. :) The weights in this round really do work the muscles. Hope that hip of yours starts to feel better. DD16 is not done with CC yet, they have sectionals this weekend, and then state is next weekend. I don't know if she will be going to state or not, but things have a funny way of working out sometimes. :)

Susan, Have fun watching BL tonight, and I hope you have a chance to get in CW. ;) DD12 does ballet.

Have a great day!
 
Hi everyone! Had a nice quiet, restful weekend! Did KM leg premix on Sat...was the first time I have ever done that and I liked it. Fri I did PP in the am and a run after school. Sunday I started on the leaves ;)
This is my rest week, so other than lawn work and walking the dog I´m resting!! I find I really need that. I know Karen, that you said you don´t really do rest weeks, right? How do you do that???

Laurie, nice job on CC for DD! Hope she goes to state. What kind of dance is DD12 taking? DH and I do ballroom...latin, swing, waltz, etc. And as usual, awesome workouts!!

Susan, glad you are feeling better. Lots of kids out of school. wonder if our district will close at all. That is so nice that DD could visit her friend.

Hi Sue!
 
Hello, ladies! Sorry I didn't get to post yesterday. A co-worker was out yesterday so I was covering for her.

Susan - I don't know if I'd try Imax like you did but if you feel better now, great! :)

Laurie - Yesterday was the first sunny day in quite awhile so I can imagine all the dogs out. (Sure, now that marching band season is over the weather gets nice. :rolleyes:) Good luck to DD in her CC meets!

Lala - Enjoy your rest week. I'm jealous that you have a DH that can dance. Mine (God bless him) was born with 2 left feet.

Karen - How is your hip feeling?

Well, we didn't place 1st at State like we wanted but we came in 2nd out of 6 bands in AAAA class and that's nothing to sneeze at. Our kids gave a great performance - it's just that North had an even better performance. I'm so proud of DD's hard work. She practiced almost 17 hours last week alone in some not so nice weather and never complained. It was cool being back at Whitewater for the first time in 20 years or so. DH and I both went to school there. Was disappointed to find out my favorite pizza place is no longer in business so we had Subway for dinner instead. It was healthier but not as tasty as a good, thick slice of Salamone's pizza would have been. Just 1 more home game and a parade and marching band season will be over.

Got in short workouts on Saturday and Sunday (Results Upper and LIS cardio) plus lots of housework and yardwork. Nothing yesterday or today yet. Parent/Teacher conferences tonight so if I do anything it will be very short.
 
Hi all,

Today I did Amy Bento Kettlebell Dynamics all 3 20 min segments. Really love kettlebells again.

Sue, that's great that DD and the band did so well. You are right Subway is not as tasty as a good pizza would be. Neat you got to go back to your old stomping ground. I'll bet you will be glad when marching band is over. Good you got some workouts in.

Lala, have fun with your rest week. Glad you had a restful weekend. Always nice to have those thrown in once in a while.

Laurie, good luck to DD on her last cross country meets. It was a beautiful day for a run but my hip said no. Does your dog pull or trip you when you run with her?

Susan, yea for finishing Imax. You are one tough cookie. Have fun watching BL. I am going to be watching too. That is also the only tv I watch. Are you using all your oldie but goodie Cathe workouts for a rotation?

Have an awesome day.:)
 
Good Morning! My night was too hectic and too late so don't ask!:mad: LOL!:eek: I did get to see some of BL at least. Tonight should be less hectic (fingers crossed) and I will be doing BFBM. Hopefully Jillian won't kill me. Been really coughing up stuff lately so it must be working it's way out!

Got to go get ready for work! You ladies have a great day!

Take care! Susan
 
Morning Ladies,

Late this morning, because I was at the dentist. So this should take care of the pain in my mouth for a while. :D All I can say is I'm so glad that I'm done for another 6 months. :D This morning was Disc 14 Legs, and I'm hoping to get in a run after work. One thing I don't like about the packaging of STS!!! :mad: Sometimes it takes me almost 5 minutes to get the dang disc out! :mad: Rant over! ;)

Lala, DD does only ballet, she doesn't want to try tap or anything else. I think that if my DH would take dance lessons with me that would be such a great form of cardio for him. Exercise is like a four letter word to DH! :eek:

Sue, Congrats to your DD, that is a great accomplishment. Hey don't worry the bad weather will continue for the weekend. My DD doesn't do well in the cold/rain. :( No parent/teacher conferences for us this year, both DD's are doing well. They only do conferences when the student is not doing well in our district. I think my DD's want a Wii for Christmas. That was the deal, good grades you get a Wii. :D

Karen, Sorry to hear that hip is still giving you problems. :( Cami is pretty good when we first start out, but then she wants to go in the ditch to sniff. :) I just pull her a little, and then she gets back in her run.

Susan, Hope you have a better evening tonight. ;) Enjoy BFBM, I just love that one. She is coming out with a new workout under the BL series. Sounds like it is a combo of BFMB and NMTZ. It is call The Last Chance Workout.

Have a great day!
 
Good afternoon,

Today I did Rhythmic Step, 4DS kickbox cardio only and a yoga from yoga for stress relief by Barbara Benagh.

Susan, have fun with Jillian. What did you think of BL last night? Not to much drama--a good thing.

Laurie, glad you dentist appt. went well and you are done for awhile. How did you like the leg work today? Have fun with your run. I only had a problem getting the dvds out the first time, then they come out normally. Just remember to add 5 min. of workout time on.:rolleyes: Nice you don't have conferences unless they need them. I could have avoided 3 if that was the case.

Hi Sue and Lala.

Take care.
 
Karen - I've got to watch that tutorial and learn how to use my kettlebell. I feel guilty every time I look at it because I haven't really used it yet. I wish there was an instructional class I could take. For some reason I feel like I need to be shown in person. :confused:

Susan - I hope tonight is less hectic so you can do BFBM. I almost did that one last night but decided I needed to focus on my "trouble zones" so did NMTZ intead. :p

Laurie - Nuts! I was hoping for a nice weekend seeing as how it's my first free weekend in 2 months! For your DD's sake, I hope it isn't too bad. I earn my 6 month pass at the dentist tomorrow. :)

DH did the running around last night so I was able to do Jillian's NMTZ. It was kind of coincidental that I did this workout and then tuned in to see BL last night and watched someone (I think Daniel) doing those wicked "surrenders". His weights looked a lot heavier than my 5s so I'm sure he was dying!

<<<<<<<<<<< BIGGEST LOSER SPOILER ALERT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>,
I've only watched this show a few times this season but I felt sad to see Dina go home. Her husband was SO insensitive eating like a pig in the restaurant right in front of her! I think the other guy who was making the kebobs (can't remember his name) had the right idea by cooking his own food and not even subjecting himself to the temptations at a restaurant.
<<<<<<<<<<< END OF SPOILER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Did 2 Leslie miles this morning.

Tonight is DD's last home game appearance with the marching band. They added a lot of fun moves into the program for tonight so I can't wait to see it.
 
HI again!

Karen, hope your hip feels better soon. BL last night was a bit "boring" without all that drama! It was too bad Dina had to go home though, but she looks great now!:)

Laurie, Glad your dentist appt. went well. Ours is next Thursday. I have to give the kids about a weeks notice cause they hate going!:p I'll have to look at that new workout!

Sue, I agree, if I was on BL, I would not go out to eat with family while at home! That's probably why he lost 15 pounds! He didn't have the added sodium etc that comes from eating out. I hope you enjoy they last marching band show!

Have a great night!
 
Good Morning,

Today I am doing Muscle Max.

Sue, how did he band look last night? Nice job getting in NMTZ. Do you think that workout burns more calories than one of Cathe's total body workouts? Nice DH could do the running around Tue. night. I think you will really like kettlebell workouts when you get comfortable with the bell. They are very much like the 10 Day/Jillian you like so much but the KB is so much fun. Makes a huge difference in your legs and abs.

Susan, have to agree Dina looks great and it's so neat she is doing a lot of it with her son. I think she will do better than Danny would have. Wonder what happened with him at home. I guess Jillian didn't kill you because you are still posting.

Hi Laurie and Lala.

My DS15 just passed his written test to get his permit. Tonight we will be going to the DMV to get his temps. Yikes!!

Have a good day.
 
Hello there! Yes, I did survive BFBM but not without a lot of grunting anf groaning!:p It was hard for me to catch my breath at certain times too but I am getting better! DD is home sick today, fever, headache, body aches, etc... Don't know what the day has in store for me yet! I am going to try to sneak in something though!

Karen, good luck with a new driver in the house!;) I do not have Muscle Max, is it more of an endurance strength workout?

Laurie, I looked into Jillians new workout. It will be available Dec. 1st. Looking forward to seeing what she does!

Hi Lala!

Sue, hope you enjoyed the band!

Take care ladies! Susan
 
Morning Ladies,

Today was BFBM for me. Just really like the way this workout flows, and I burned 593 calories. :D

Karen, Yep I think adding 5 min on to the workout will have to be the thing, and I really did like the leg workout. I'm not regretting getting the STS Strength series. ;) Congrats to your DS on getting his temps. Good for you finding your kettlebells again. We always need to change things up. ;)

Sue, I really like those surrenders. :eek: So far the forcast for this weekend, doesn't sound that promising. :( How was the band performance?

Susan, Dang on the sick DD, fast healing vibes ~~~~ :D I'm looking forward to the new workout also. :eek: It sounds like it will be 25 min of circuit work like in BFBM, and 2 weight segments like NMTZ. At least that is my hope. ;)

Did Cathe post the pics of the Travel workout?

Have a great day!
 
Laurie, the pictures of travel fit are posted in her blog. Glad you enjoy Jillian so much. That is a great calorie burn. Probably better than the Imaxes, don't you think?

Susan, sorry DD is sick. Hopefully she will recover fast and she will feel better soon. Let us know what you end up doing for exercise if you get it in. I'd say Muscle Max is not quite as endurance based as ME but I love all the band exercises she adds in to burn out the muscles you just worked with weights. Probably my fav. total body workout. I like the music too. It seems to fly by even though today I wasn't sure I was going to make it. Haven't done a total body in awhile I guess.

Take care.

Hi! so thursday of my rest week...why do these go by so quickly?? :D
After I walk Tank, I'll be raking for quite a while!

Karen, MM is one of my favorites! And congrats to DS...of course, I totally understand the *yipes* side of it, too!

Sue, Sounds like DD had a great band season!

Laurie, glad the dentist thing went well...and great workouts! I would have loved to have taken ballet as a "youngster"! Hope your DD enjoys it!

Susan, Hope DD gets feeling better soon...I've had lots of students out for days...seems like more this year. And take care of yourself, too.

Off to the yard work!
 
Morning Ladies,

Posting really early today, because I probably will not get on again after my workout. Today is Disc 16 Back & Biceps, and then I will run on the TM.

I'm off to my parents later this morning. We are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday. DH & DD16 will be coming up tomorrow, because of her running. Just hope this rain we have had for the last two days goes away for her.

Karen, Yep I did get to see the pics, and they look pretty decent. Would like to know what type of cardio they stuck in there, really hard to tell from the pics. I'm sure it will be tough though. :D I have not done a Imax in a long time, but I think it could be about even with one of them.

Lala, Funny how those rest weeks shoot by, I was enjoying mine last week. My DD16 received a text on Tuesday that told the kids to stay home sick so they could reach the % they needed to close school. My DD went anyway, and little do these kids know that they wouldn't close the school down anyway. My co-worker's sister told him they wouldn't, she is the district nurse. :eek:

Have a great weekend everyone,
 
Happy Friday! Last night I managed to jump on the elliptical for Extreme Heart Rate Intervals for 40mn. DD is still home sick today. Fever has shot up. I am thinking I may have to take her in if we can't get it down today.

Laurie, enjoy the Anniversary party! How great! 50 years!:eek: This rain stinks and DS has a FB game in the morning. Hoping it'll have moved on by then. Cathe's new Shock Cardio looks really fun. There are so many new workouts I want! I am gonna be broke! Rev Abs, Insanity, Shock Cardio, Jillian.... When will it end??

Lala,Hope you got your yard work done! I woke with a headache this morning and was worried I was getting what DD has. She started out with a headache, but it was nothing a good cup of coffee wouldn't cure! LOL!:eek:

My weekend is up in the air depending on DD's health. Her and I and my girlfriend and her daughters are supposed to be going to Madison tomorrow, but right now.... it's doubtful!

Check back later! Susan
