Morning BB's,

Today is YogaX.

Had a great time at dinner Friday with our friends. But the Key Lime Pie was way to tart. Guess I like more sweetness to my pies. :D I did manage to try the All Star Workout that I DVR'd and it was actually a good workout. The only thing he did that got annoying was he kept say Ah! all the time. So I am keeping that one, for when I just need to get off the couch for a little punching and kicking. :)

Have to get going because I want to get my work done before the holiday starts. I have off W-F. :D :D :D So happy, but we need to get our stuff ready for opening weekend. Our rehearsal went really well yesterday, but of course you never think you are ready. DH has this feeling like he has forgotten something.


Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Hi Laurie and those to follow! Glad to hear you enjoyed the weekend! Mine was pretty quiet. I took the dog for a long hike Saturday morning. She proceeded to eat a dead bird and yesterday was vomiting! Today she seems to be on the mend. Will she ever learn to stop eating the things on the road?

Sunday I was very tired so it was my rest day. I did look over my exercise habits as of late. I seem to be doing too much cardio (that darn elliptical!) and not enough strength so I wrote up something new for this month.

Today was PLB, Ab work and I have to mow the lawn!

Enjoy the day! Susan
 
Susan - our dog eats anything he can get too. One time he vomited something up that was really gross and I made DH clean it up. They just don't learn though.

Laurie - I am off after tomorrow too. Not a whole bunch planned but looking forward to those 5 days off.

Well - the plan to wait to buy the elliptical vanished when they ended up having a great sale that was too good to pass up. I was expecting a sale during State Fair but because it was the end of their 2nd quarter and their slow time, Northern Home Fitness had 30% off everything on Saturday. I had gone earlier that day and tried the Precors and other ellipticals there and then to 2nd Wind and tried the Life Fitness and others. It was tough to decide between Precor and Life Fitness - both were so much better than all others I tried. Still had one more I was going to check out though. Anyway I had just gotten home and pretty much decided on the Precor brand but not sure what model yet thinking I had tons of time to decide. But then the manager called! So back to the store I went and tried them all again. The middle or upper Precor were very tempting but I decided just on the cheapest version with the adjustable ramp:

I figured even the cheapest Precor was better than many of the other brands out there. Not as many programs but that is OK for me. I was more concerned with a good quality and tested elliptical motion. With the sale it was under $2000 although there is an $85 charge for delivery and set up. Now I need to get busy and paint the room so I can set up a delivery date. Tentatively I am hoping for July 20th!

I emailed Jill but no response. She could be on vacation or have a new email address.
 
Hi BB's,

Today I did CC#6 Sean, stretchmax and coremax.

DH finished 8th, DS13 finished 7th, DS11 finished 4th and DS9 finished 5th. All in all a fast, dry race. It was a great weekend with my mom and dad, my best friend, her daughter and some of DH biking friends and family. Oh and DD4 had a great race too. She finished 4th on a tough 1/4 mile through trails. How did almost forget about her.

Laurie, glad you had a good rehersal. It will be nice to have some days off to get everything ready. When it is something important, it always seems like something is forgotten wheter it is or not. Enjoy your workout.

Susan, You will get some more cardio in today with cutting the grass, but at least you got weight work in too. Hope you enjoyed PLB and got some good DOMS.

Enjoy your day.
 
Good Morning BB's,

Today I am doing B&G leg blast and add on the floorwork. If I feel like it I'll do some upper body.

Marie, we must have posted at the same time yesterday. Enjoy your workouts.

Laurie, I have never had key lime pie. Everyone I've talked to says it's wonderful. To bad yours was a tad tart. Congrats on your last week of the X doubles. Great job. Is DH feeling any better about how things are going?

Sue, hope you are doing well and enjoying the weather. Did you have fun camping?

Hi to Susan.

Enjoy your day.
 
Hello!:D

Today I walked for 30 then jumped on the Elliptical for 40mn on the "Sports Training" workout. I am having major DOMS from yesterdays PLB! But it feels gooood!

Marie, glad you were able to get an elliptical! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do! There is such a wide variety out there now it's hard to choose! We didn't have ours delivered. I went and got it and DH had it together in about an hour. Keep us posted on when you get it and how you like it!

Have to go buy some fire crackers for the kids today! Hope they aren't too picked over! We are getting some much needed rain- finally!

Stay strong- Susan
 
Morning BB's,

Today is Core Syn.

Last day of work for the week. Tomorrow we are having friends over for the 4th. Then probably will be going to the Waukesha fire works.

Sue, Yes you didn't mention how the camping went! :) Will that be the last time that you will be in a tent? :)

Susan, We also need the rain. We had a little bit last night. Hope that it continues to progress our way. We are not going down to the lake front for the fire works tonight, so I will hope for rain. :D

Marie, Congrats on the elliptical, that will be a great tool for you to use in your exercises. Low impact is good. :)

Karen, DH seems to be doing OK, I'm sure Friday will be the true test. But he did receive some encouraging words from people, so I think he feels better about things. Your family did great in their races. Even you DD. :D She likes to go fast too I see.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Susan - I am impressed that your DH carried the elliptical and put it together. The info I have says the bos is 250#s and I'm sure an awkward shape. It needs to go upstairs too and I would hate to drop it.

Karen - Hi, yes looks like we were posting at the same time.

Sue - are you back?

Laurie - last day for me too and I am so excited. Doesn't seem like tomorrow is the 4th of July though.

I am quite excited about the elliptical! Dh says he won't use it but I hope he gives it a chance and likes it. I won't feel so guilty about the money I spent then. Although I can get over guilt like that really fast. I requested delivery on the 20th and plan to paint on the 15th.

I am hoping for some rain too but hope it doesn't ruin people's plans for the holiday. We could use a ton of rain here. Our lawn is so dry and we are tired of watering the plants every other night. We had Hawks landscape the backyard this year.

Hope all have a fun and safe 4th!
 
Hi Marie, it came in a long heavy box. We opened it up in the garage and took it down in pieces. The heaviest piece was about 200 pounds and he and I managed to get it downstairs without dropping it! ;-)

My DH uses it about 3 times a week or so. He likes it a lot. It's quiet so he can watch his sports at the same time!

Happy 4th of July! Susan
 
Happy 4th of July!

Today is walking for 45 mn and Bodymax, strength only.

Plan to cook out and enjoy the fire works!

Enjoy your day! Susan
 
Morning BB's,

Today will be Tracey Staehle's Cardio Sweatfest probably the punching premix.

We are having people over for a party later this afternoon, so I need to get to the grocery store soon. :) Talk about waiting until the last minute.

Susan, Have a great cookout and enjoy the fireworks. We plan on heading to see them also.

Karen, Marie, and Sue, Hope you all have a safe and Happy 4th of July. Enjoy all your plans that you have for today.

Laurie
 
Afternoon,

Planned on doing CC#6 but last night while bike riding broke a blood vessel causing a blood clot and it's swollen and I can't sit upright cause it pushes on it.

Sounds like you guys are getting good workouts in.

Laurie, hope you got your groceries picked up before your guests arrived. Do you like Sweatfest?

Enjoy the fireworks. We truly are a blessed country.
 
Karen, I hope you are doing alright! Ouch! I have never heard of doing that? Has this happened before?

Today I walked for 45mn and later this morning will be doing IMAX2. I am a little sore from the strength in BodyMax yesterday.

Had fun at the fireworks last night. For being in a small town they put on a good show!

Stay strong and take care- Susan
 
Morning,

Today I am laying low again. Can't stand not working out but the area is still swollen. I am hoping the blood doesn't pool somewhere it's not suppose to. This is the weirdest thing. No, it's never happened before.

Susan, glad you enjoyed the fireworks. Are you walking everyday like Sue? Have fun with Imax 2.

Laurie, how did you get to gether go? Enjoy your vacation and some beading.

Hi to Sue and Marie.

Have a nice day.
 
Morning BB's,

Today will be Yoga Zone Power Yoga, and I will include StretchX also.

I know I will not be able to do any workouts this weekend, so I'm putting two workouts together today.

Karen, For sure take care of your leg, that sounds painful. I get those in my hands every once in a while from playing volleyball or softball. The bruise will probably look BAD! Our get together went really well, and everyone seemed to enjoy talking. Now comes he clean-up. :)

Susan, Glad you had a great time at the fireworks. Our neighborhood was giving a show too. :)

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
I'm back!

Hi, guys! I haven't read what you've been up to all week so will have to do that later. Camping (the day-time part) was fun but the sleeping was just the way I remembered it. }( We were cold the 1st night and I had to go to the bathroom but the flashlight wasn't unpacked so had to hold it until morning. All the camp sounds - people and nature - is not something I'm used to so hard to fall asleep. In all fairness though, I didn't get a good night's sleep in the hotels either. We stayed Sat. night in a hotel in Schaumburg and the bed was too soft so woke up with a backache. Tues. night we stayed in a hotel in Muskegon, MI and the furnace unit made clicking sounds all night.x( Felt good to sleep in my own bed last night.

Did lots of walking and hiking while camping so that was my workout each day. This morning I slept in to makeup for the sleep I lost on vacation. ;) I'm glad we went. We did a lot of fun things like dune buggy riding on the Dunes, s'mores on the campfire, ice cream at the Whippy Dip. Yeah, the diet was not very clean but I was hungry ALL THE TIME because of all the activity. DS has a baseball game tonight so I'll be lucky to get my walk in.

Off to find out what's going on with the new workouts!

Sue
 
RE: I'm back!

Sue, glad you had a good time. It sounds like you got a good workout in being on your vacation. It's good to be home in your own bed. Hope your DS baseball game goes well tonight.
 
RE: I'm back!

Happy Friday!

Today is walking for 40 and Pyramid Upper Body. We go camping tomorrow morning but I am waking up early to jump on the Elliptical for 45 mns.

It is going to be HOT :eek: the next couple days! My DS has a soccer game tonight so I'll have to get him hydrated!

Stay strong- Susan
 
RE: I'm back!

Hi BB's,

Yesterday I ended up doing Drillmax. Today I did Imax 3. I guess I just won't be biking for a while. I hope this heals fast so I can finish training for the 50 mile time trial Aug. 4. Also did Coremax #2 forgot how much I love that one. Also did Imax 3 for the first time with only one riser, it's a lot easier.

Susan, Hope you had fun with PUB. Have a great time camping. Hope it's not too hot to enjoy it. Are you tent camping?

Congrats Laurie for finishing the X twice.

Hi to all the rest of you BB's.

The boys and DH will be racing a 12 hour race in Spooner tomorrow so they are working on the trails today. DD14 and DS10 will be coming back from their grandparents on Sun. It's been a long week without them.

Have a great weekend all.
