Morning!

Today is a 20 min run and strength training. Don't think we will be going to the gym today, because I need to get to the grocery store. And besides everyone will be at the gym trying to get that extra eating off of their bodies! :eek: LOL! I wanted to do that run outdoors, but don't think I will be doing that with the snow we received. Roads may be a little to slippery. :(

We had a great Thanksgiving, and had fun at the waterpark/hotel. The DD's had fun playing and gossiping with their cousins. The only thing that was a fly in the ointment was my SIL, she was a pain in the a$$. Anyone who makes my Mom cry is evil in my books. Don't know what her problem was, but she spent all her time in her room. Well if you are in a rotten mood then it is good that she didn't spend her time with us. :rolleyes:

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hi all,

Today I did strikezone, stretchmax and 4DS chest/back twice through. Also did some kettlebells while helping DH with his workout. He wants me to help him lose weight. I just wasn't motivated at 5:30am. Yuk!!

Laurie, glad your kids had fun. To bad some people have to ruin it for others. Hope your mom isn't sad. Have fun with your grocery shopping.

I have to get to the DMV and renew our license plates--oops, forgot. I hope I don't have to wait long.

DD has a choir concert tonight.

Enjoyed our Thanksgiving. DS13 got a doe and a buck. DS14 and DH did not get anything. We will have lots of venison.

Hi to everyone else, hope you have a great day.:)
 
Hello Ladies!

Laurie, sorry you have a rotten SIL.No one should make your mother cry! :( Glad you were able to enjoy your Thanksgiving anyway!

Karen, hope your wait at the DMV wasn't too long! You sound like you had one heck of workout today! Way to go!

Well, my brother called last Wednesday to tell us he was coming down for Thanksgiving and could he and his son stay with us? Well of course! However, our spare room is in the basement and if you'll recall my DH has stuff all over the place! Well, I worked my fanny off and cleared out everything and got it all ready for company!

The best part is now I can do my workouts again!! I am so excited!! My DH told me not to get too comfortable with the space cuz he'll have to take it over shortly again. :( I'll enjoy it while I can! Today I am doing Step Blast and then some lower body T-Tapp.

My Thanksgiving was very nice. We went to my in-laws for one meal and then headed over to my sister's for the other meal! I was not hungry at all on Friday! On Friday I put up the decorations, cleaned and ran a couple errands. Saturday was grocery shopping and Sunday we relaxing!

We got about 4" of snow here and the ice underneath is not fun!! I did not walk Ruby this morning cause I had to shovel!

Check back later- Susan
 
Hi everyone!!

Glad to here to you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was very nice as well. Didn't have to go far as Thanksgiving was by my parents who live right next door to me. :)

With being new to the group, I'm not used to the abbreviations you use for certain things. I don't want to sound stupid but what is SIL? Haven't figured that one out. What about DH, DD, DS?? My thought was dear husband, dear son??? Not sure.

Laurie, glad you had fun at the waterpark but sorry about your mom. It's upsetting when someone makes your mom cry.

Karen, great job on the workout. Hope the concert goes well tonight. Good luck with all that venison. I had to snicker when you said you weren't motivated at 5:30 am. I get up at 3am Mon thru Friday to workout... I know it's insane but I'm used to it now. Weekends I try to sleep in at least until 5am.

Susan, hope you had a great workout with Step Blast - that is a fun workout. Enjoy your space while you have it. :)

We got blessed with at least 8" of snow between yesterday and last night. The drive into work this morning was not fun. Hope this isn't a sign what the winter is going to be like.

Today I did Muscle Endurance. Had a great workout. Tomorrow will be a cardio. Not sure which one. Maybe Amy Bento's Hi-Lo Knockout, that one has great music in it.

Hope everyone has a great night!!
 
Hi there! SIL is for sister-in-law and you were right about the DH and the DS ( dear hubby,dear son). DD is for dear daughter!

I did have fun with Step Blast! I was smiling the entire time! :D I like M.E. especially the glute raises! I really feel it back there!;) Tomorrow I am excited to get to do KPC!

Have a good night- Susan
 
Thanks Susan,

It dawned on me after I logged off the computer what SIL meant. Duh!! :)

My kids are my two cats... Smokey and Bandit. Love them dearly!!

Did Amy's Hi Low CIA cardio Knockout this morning. It's a pretty good workout and lots of fun and great music.

Off to continue getting ready for work.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Brenda
 
Good Morning,

Today I am going to spin to CC7 and do abs. DH didn't like the BBC workout I picked out for him today. He complained it was to advanced, he didn't like the bosu and it was to hot. :rolleyes:

Susan, Sweet!, about your workout space. At least you can enjoy your long lost workouts for a while. Sounds like you all got more snow than we did. Just a dusting here. Glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

Brenda, you get up at 3:00? Are you crazy?:D Just kidding. What dedication. What time do you go to work? I really like hi/lo knockout also. YOu are right the music is great. It took me a while to get it down but the music just keeps me going. ME is on the schedule for DH on Fri. I wonder what he will say to that one?

Hi to Laurie, Sue, Dani and Lala.:)

Have a great day.
 
Morning!

Today will be a 45 min run hopefully outdoors.

Karen, How was the choir concert last night? How big where the doe and buck your DS got? Bet he had a great time hunting this year. :D So cool for him. LOL about your DH and the BBC workout. Those are killers!

Susan, So glad you got your room back even if it is only for a little while. :D Oh the ice underneath the snow is miserable, that is one thing we don't have.

Brenda, Don't be afraid to ask us about the abreviations. I think I went through the same thing as you did when I first came here. Oh so you live where all the snow fell. :eek:

Laurie
 
Still Alive

Hi, all! :) Just posting to let you know I'm still alive and to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving. A lot going on at work (nothing new) but I did enjoy a long weekend and a few Cathe workouts. Hope everyone is surviving the snow. Ugh! I hated to see that stuff again after last winter. Let's hope it won't be as bad.

Take care.

P.S. Oh, and I did end up cancelling STS. It felt like the right thing to do. Couldn't see spending that much money and not having the time to do hour long workouts much less 1 rep max calculations.

Hello!

Today is KPC and I am so looking forward to it!:D

Laurie, hope you had a nice run today!

Karen, we're supposed to get more snow tonight! Up to 4"!:mad:

Sue, sorry work is keeping you busy! I think it was the right thing to do to cancel at this point!

Hi to all! Have a great night!

Susan
 
Happy Tuesday Everyone,

Yesterday was cardio fusion and today was jari love's ripped and lean. I had a ok Thanksgiving, didn't do much-long story and don't want to bore or burden anyone.

Laurie I am glad you had a nice Thanksgiving, sorry to read about your sil being a pain in the butt. Also how can you go running outside, I am having a hard time trying to motivate myself to get out in that cold. Brrrrr

Karen I hope the concert went well. Good luck in getting your dh motivated esp. that early in the morning.

Yeah Susan your workout area back. We are going to put up our Christmas tree soon and I hope it doesn't get in my way for working out. I envy you. :D

Hi Sue glad to see your still alive. You can live thru us who have ordered STS. It is alot of money and a big commitment. Plus there is always the future and you can always change your mind.

Hi Brenda, and like everyone else has said do not worry about abbreviations. I get confused when I see abbrev. Cathe DVDs. I don't know all of them.

Hi LaLa, I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

Goodnight All.
 
Hi everybody. this is my rest week and I really need it! It feels good to sleep in! Glad everyone´s Thanksgiving was good...despite your SIL, Laurie :(. We went to my DS´ apt. Really fun. He provided the turkey, and I brought the rest. DD20 got a new game called Quelf...really fun, check it out

susan, bet it feels good to have your exercise space back!
Karen, how was the choir concert? This Sat the HS Madrigals have their dinner. The school cafeteria is transformed...it is so beautiful and festive.

Hi sue and Brenda!
 
Hi everyone!!

Karen, how did CC7 go today? I start work between 6:30-7am. I get up at 3am do hour plus workout, get a few minutes of snuggle time with my honey before he has to get up and get ready, eat breakfast, tidy up the house before we leave and 35 min drive to work (on good roads that is). I know I'm crazy. :) I'll be curious how DH likes ME? All those leg presses.

Laurie, did you get your run in today?

Susan, KPC is a good workout. You're not alone, we're supposed to get hit with that snow as well. I hate winter. Give me a beach and warm weather and I'll be happy.

Hope everyone has a great night.

I have to see how the Biggest Loser ends and then get myself to bed.

Brenda
 
HI all! Well, Brenda, on Biggest Loser, Vicky should have voted off the guy !! She is so dumb!! My DH and I both think she deserves to lose now. I see next week they are letting the "people" vote them off? That should be interesting. I do hope Michelle wins the whole thing!

I loved KPC yesterday, but my legs are sore today! LOL!:) I think I am doing Bootcamp today. That is after I get the shoveling done!:mad:

Have a good day ladies- Susan
 
Good Morning Gals,

Yesterday I ended up doing Imax 3 and abs. This morning DH and I did Kettlebell Way 2 and I will start 4DS shoulders and 4DS legs shortly.

DH is no fun to workout with. He thinks I am a trainer. He's like a trainer wouldn't say that or you need to be more supportive. You need to explain things better, I am trying. Don't say you don't like the exercie then it will be stuck in my head. This floor is dirty and the dirt is sticking to my skin. and on and on and on........I wish he had lost the 17 pounds already. Any ideas on what would be the best for him to lose weight? Besides the diet which he does great on. Should I be having him do circuits, more weights? I am confused.

Brenda, that is great you can get up and get so much done before you go to work. What time do you go to bed? I watched the BL last night too. Sorry to see Renee go. I sure hope Michelle wins the whole thing.

Lala, glad you are enjoying your week off and getting some extra sleep. Sounds like I will have to check out the game Quelf.

Dani, the concert was nice. It seem as you are keeping up the good workouts. Sorry you Thanksgiving wasn't what you had hoped.

Susan, did you have fun with KPC? How much snow did you end up getting?

Sue, glad you are still alive. I am not a fan of winter. Probably the right thing to do in cancelling STS.

Laurie, did you end up running outside? How far do you go in 45 min? The buck was and 8 pointer and the doe was quite large(I guess) as does go. Do you think BBC is to hard for him with all his biking lungs and the like?

Enough rambling. Hope you are staying warm and safe. Have a great day and some great workouts.:)
 
Morning!

Today will be a 30 min easy run (probably not outdoors since we are suppose to be getting snow!:(). Will also be getting in some Bicep/Tricep work in also. Yesterdays run was cold, but good and I also did Shoulder/Ab work at the gym.

Sue, Glad to see that you are still getting your workouts in despite the work load. :(

Susan, Well if I was voting I would vote Vicky off too! ;) Don't like that one either. Looks like we are going to be in the same weather pattern as last year, so our shovels will be getting a workout again. :(

Dani, I'm quite surprised at myself for getting out and running. I'm going to be happy after the 21st though, because the sun will start staying out longer. I have to stand in the snow when a vehicle comes at me. :eek: Cami is with me on my shorter runs, and she just loves it.

Lala, The cafeteria sounds really pretty, and the magricals should be fun to listen to. My favorite type of music! :D Enjoy your rest week.

Brenda, Yep I did get the run in, but the sun is sure going down fast. Wow you sure do get up early, I'm pretty lazy and wait until 5am. :rolleyes: But then I'm not getting my workout in until after work.

Karen, Oh I think the BBC workouts will only help him with the endurance for his biking. I know it helped me with running, but it was really hard on the knees. But with biking it should be fine. Of course it is fun on the torture department too isn't it! :eek: LOL! :eek: I would have your DH start lifting more weights. Do you have P90X?

Laurie

Good Evening everyone,

Today was KPC. I know we have been talking about DH's working out and mine was suppose to start up again this week. He didn't. I know how hard it is for me to be motivated but I still do it because I like to eat and I want to keep healthy. Maybe when after the holiday's he will start.

Lala enjoy your rest week. What is you DD's game on. We recently got PS3 and I have been slightly addicted to Little Big Planet. It it is loads of fun.

Karen hopefully your hubby will come around, exercise is work. And just because you work out doesn't mean you are a trainer. It is hard sometimes with the ones we love. What he looking to achieve? More muscle mass, just lean up. Do you have P90x just put him on that and send him on his merry way. Hopefully he will come around. Good luck and keep us updated.


Hi Susan, Laurie, Sue and Brenda.
 
Good Morning,

Today I will try to get on the spin bike again-don't know why I dont want to spin anymore.

DH had shoulder surgery a while ago and has never trained with weights of any kind, he can barely do a girl pushup and his wrists have arthritis so pushups don't feel great. Anyhow, I am not sure P90X would be the best place for him to start with weights.

Laurie, nice job keeping up with running. Is DD running at the gym?

Dani, funny you mentioned you workout because you like to eat. Me too. If had better control over food, I wouldn't have to work so hard. KPC is on my rotation for Sat. Can't wait.

Hi to lala, Sue, Susan, and Brenda. Have a wonderful day.:)
 
Lunch break! Actually am home today...took a personal day to finish a project due for a class I am taking!

Karen, LOL about "girl pushups" :D. Maybe you could just put in a Cathe DVD and let DH figure stuff out on his own. Sometimes there can be TOO much togetherness ;). Don't know about you, but I get so excited if someone in my family shows an interest in working out I go overboard. The other night DD17 asked about good triceps exercises, so I start going into all this detail and she finally says, "just show me a couple!"

Dani, I so understand the "love to eat!" But if that is what motivates us, so be it...we get so many other benefits! Quelf is actually a board game. The explanation is "Random has a new name"! You pick cards and have to do the actions on them. It really is anything but boring!

Laurie...does an "easy" 30 minute run really exist;)? Not for me, anyway!!Do you run in any races?

Sue, you are really putting in the hours at work. You work in IT, right? My DH does project managing in IT and he has been working his tush off lately!

Susan, Did you get your bootcamp in? My neighbor did my walk, so no shoveling for me! But did take Tank for a walk... it is only 15 out. But got a new parka from Lands' End and was toasty...
except for my hands...
Does anyone have glove/mitten recommendations?

Back to my project!
 
Hello!

Yesterday I did not get Bootcamp in.:( While I was at work my body starting have major muscle soreness! So I shoveled when I got home and then I did 45mn of pilates instead to help stretch me out a bit! It worked and today I will be doing Bootcamp!

Lala, is that a picture of your dog? He sure is handsome! How did the project go?

Karen, maybe have DH try one of Cathe's more endurance based strength workouts? Where he can use lighter weights with higher reps?

Laurie, I hope you enjoyed your run! I see a woman running with her balck lab every morning. It's actually my DD's principal. She's a great lady and no matter what the weather she is out there chugging along!

Sue, I hope you get some rest in after all the work you've been doing! You deserve a little vacation!

Have a good night! Susan
