Morning BB's,

Talk about cold this morning...x( DD's didn't have to go to school, everything is closed down here. I always hated when my Dad would say how they had to walk to school up hill both ways. :D But we had to walk to school in this cold weather and sometimes colder. But time do change don't they! :D

Anyway today is StretchX for me, might add a little running on the treadmill just to warm up. }(

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good Morning BB's,

School is closed here too. I don't remember school being closed unless it was colder than this. Anyway, we have a gymnastics recital for my DD4 this afternoon and a basketball game tonight for DS11. Our van died over the weekend so we looked at a used van and are going to the bank today to get a loan.

I didn't workout at all over the weekend. DH was inside all weekend watching TV. There is no other place to workout. Today will be PUB and PLB.

Have good workouts and a great day.
 
Laurie - I don't remember school ever closing for cold when I was a kid either.

Karen - Sorry to hear about your van. Hope you're able to find something good to replace it and at a reasonable price.

Well, Waukesha schools did NOT close today so my kids were very disappointed to say the least. A few other schools like Menomonee Falls are open, too. DH drove them this morning because it's Monday and he normally drives DD on Mondays because she has her band lesson and her barritone is almost as big as she is.

On Saturday I did Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Xtreme "Quick" Circuit. (How is 82 minutes considered quick?) Karen - I LOVE the weight work!!! Thank you, thank you for recommending it. So many new exercises that really felt like they were working. I wish I'd tried it sooner. Might even order APX if the premixes are good. My hams and inner thighs are SO sore today. The circuit I did just had legs, back and core so I chaptered through the other premixes to do chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps yesterday. Also did All Step abs and Tamilee Webb standing stretch. Then we did tons of walking shopping yesterday before the Superbowl (trying to find bedspreads for the kids' rooms). This morning was Turbo Jam CP2 Remix + all the intervals from Bootcamp.

Still doing my daily 1 mile walk. DH joins me most of the time and boy, oh, boy have we been bundling up! 2 layers of socks, 3 layers of pants, 3 layers of tops, ear muffs, scarves, mittens - you name it!

Stay warm everyone!

Sue
 
Sue, glad you are still getting your walks in. It sure has been cold. It sounds like you had fun with Amy. I really like her. APX does have good premixes. Total Body 2 sets 87 min. Upper Body 81:15 Lower Body 44 Timesaver upper 43:30 Timesaver Lower 36:45 3 day split 50:30 Chest and Shoulders 3 day split 53:15 back, biceps, triceps and a 3 day split 50:35 Legs and core. What was the temp. there that they didn't cancel school? It was 20 below here.

Have a great day.
 
Karen - Thanks for the premix info! I did a search on the VF forum and didn't find anything. I may just have to go ahead and order that one.}(

The temps were -13 with wind chill of -22. I don't know why our schools stayed open. Those poor kids that have to wait for the bus. We live close enough that my kids normally walk and even though it's 5 minutes, if I were home I'd give them a ride.

Talk later,
Sue
 
Morning BB's,

Today is Chest, Shoulders & Triceps plus ABX.

Not as cold this morning only -5, but I just realized that I need to go back to my car because I forgot my coffee. :9

Children are back at school, which is good. I think spending too much time together they start turning on each other. :D

All right you guys, do I need to add more workouts to my growing list? How is Amy's Kickbox X'treme?

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good Morning BB's,

Today I am spinning and yoga.

Laurie, I belive you are right about the kids turning on each other when they are with each other for long periods of time. Amy's kickbox X'treme is very fast so no time to get punches down or kicks. It is a really good aerobic workout. I think Sue liked this one a lot.

We picked up our van. The payment should be 150.00 a month. I am just happy we found something so quickly.

Today it is -11 virtually no wind chill. I will be glad when normal winter temps. get here. Slowly but surely.

Have a wonderful day.
 
Hello BB's long time no post huh?!!

Don't know where I've been. I have been working out though! :) After the start of the new year I got down on myself. I had gained about 12 pounds this past year. My eating and exercise never changed but I noticed I did not get any sleep. I only managed about 5 hours a night! Well, my new year resolution was to get more sleep. I have been keeping that promise and am feeling so much better. I now get 7-8 hours a night. I miss a couple of my favorite shows but it's worth it! I also started the South Beach plan 2 weeks ago and have so far lost 6 pounds. I feel really good though. I even got through TTOTM with out overdosing on pretzels, popcorn, or chocolate! ;)

Anyway, I hope you ladies have all been well.I am glad to be back. The kids are home from school again today also due to the cold.

Today is KPC for me!

Stay warm! Susan
 
Hey Susan,

Welcome back! I totally understand the being down on yourself. I have been there. Just be happy you stayed on the exercise wagon and now you are heading in the right direction for you.

Enjoy KPC!

Karen, Congrats on the new van! I suppose it wasn't much fun looking at vehicles in this cold weather though.

Laurie
 
Laurie - Yes, I like Amy's Kickbox Xtreme but it does take some getting used to with some different (even awkward at times) moves and her poor form. That being said, it's still a great workout. I have Hi/Lo Xtreme but I'm having a harder time learning the choreo on that one BUT it includes virtually all the exercises of All Pump Xtreme which I want to order now as well. Whew! Don't you ever wonder if you'll ever be done wanting more exercise dvds? I do.

Karen - Glad to hear you were able to get your van replaced. My minivan is coming up on 100K miles and everything is starting to go. We'll be shopping around soon I'm sure.

Susan - Good job on losing 6 pounds! I've read that sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain so I've been working on getting more sleep lately, too. Sometimes it means a shorter workout or even no workout at all but if it helps keep my eating in check I figure that's the main thing.

Well, can you believe my kids had school yesterday but no school today. Huh? They announced it last night already so we figured they probably had so many complaints yesterday from parents and teachers that they decided to close today. My kids are ecstatic as you can imagine. I don't think it's even that bad out. DH and I did our daily walk last night and went 2 MILES instead of 1 because we weren't that cold and we had the time.

I'm going to do a circuit today - probably HSC.

Have a great day!

Sue
 
Morning BBs!

Had a good day off yesterday. Did HSC as planned and then took the kids to the YMCA to shoot hoops and play raquetball. This morning was Lowmax.

Back to school and work for us today. Talk to you later.

Sue
 
Morning BB's,

Today will be PlyoX for me.

Sue, sounds like the kids and you had a great time yesterday.

Went to Target after work yesterday to get the moisturizer for my face. It appears that the product is being discontinued. Now I have to find what they replaced it with. This is a big pet peeve of mine. x( Guess I must have been the only person using it.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Morning BB's,

Today will be GS legs, P/P upper body premix and abs.

I guess everything is back to normal weather wise. Not as cold anyway. Have fun with your workouts everyone.

Nice to see you Susan. Congrats on the pounds lost.
 
Hello there! The kids are finally back at school! Yippee!!;-)

Today will be Step Blast for me!

Hope you all are keepin' warm!

Susan
 
2/8

Hello BB's!

Today is pretty jam packed but I hope to do some Pilates!

At least it's trying to warm up outside!:p Walking our dog at 5am is pretty rough though! I need to invest in some long underwear! Brrrrrr!!

Have a great day! Susan
 
Morning BB's,

Today will be Back & Biceps and ABX.

Susan, I have long underwear, but it is never in my drawer anymore. DD13 has decided that it is fun to "borrow" Mom's clothes. So anytime they go outside my stuff disapears. :D

Is anyone going to order Tracey Staehle's new DVD's? I'm looking at the Cardio Sweatfest.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good Morning BB's,

Today will be spinning and a stretch.

Susan, no long underwear yet. You live in Wis. I would expect you to have it by August. Have fun with your pilates.

Laurie, I preordered all Tracey's new sweatfest series. The cardio one does look really good. From what I hear pretty true to kickbox. It's nice you can share your long underwear. I guess another pair is in order.

Have a wonderful day everyone.
 
Hello everyone!

Rest day for me so I slept in this morning. Good thing because my right shoulder and ankle felt a little sore yesterday while working out.

Susan - No long underwear here either! I found it warmer just to layer on sweat pants, turtlenecks, sweaters, scarves, etc. for my daily walk. I hope you get your Pilates in and your day isn't too hectic.

Laurie - That's funny about your DD borrowing your clothes. I remember borrowing my older sisters clothes and mom's jewelry. They didn't always like it when I did that though. I'm thinking of ordering Tracy's new kickbox one but waiting for reviews on the others.

Karen - You'll have to give us reviews on Tracy's new workouts after you do them. Have fun spinning!

Have a great day!

Sue
 
Good Morning BB's,

today is MIS for me and abs, not sure if I will add some Amy's hi/lo or not.

Sue, did you enjoy your rest day. I hope your shoulder and ankle are feeling better.

Tomorrow is KPC and Tracey Kickbox drills and Sun. is rest day unless I can squeeze in a full body stretch.

Have a great weekend.
 
Morning BB's,

Just got into work, had to go to the dentist for my 6mo. cleaning. At least I know that I won't be getting my teeth drilled for the next 6 mo. :D

Today is YogaX for me, this is good DD13 doesn't have swimming tonight. So I don't have to stop. Saturday will be Legs & Back plus ABX and Sunday is KenpoX.

Have a busy Saturday, DD9 has a b'day party to go to, DD13 is babysitting. Sounds like a good time for DH and I to go out on a date.

Have a great day and weekend!
