Hi there!:D

I hope you all had a nice 4th of July! We had a lot of fun camping with our friends. We got home yesterday around noon. Now I have to do laundry!:-( I was able to get a lot of walking in while we were gone.

Haven't yet decided what todays workout will be. Probably the elliptical followed by Pilates Advanced Total body.

Have a great Monday!

Susan
 
Morning BB's,

I have not done a workout yet today. On tap is Baci & Biceps and ARX. I was just so dang tired this morning. My feet and legs hurt a bit, so I'm hoping as the day goes along they get better. :)

Sorry I wasn't around for the end of the week, will have to check out the thread, and get back on in a bit.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good Morning,

I did CC7 on the bike, abs and SH Chest, all before my company comes back over. Never got a workout in this weekend.

DS took 1st in his age group in a sprint finish. DH chain broke on his single speed and DS12 and 14 finished mid pack 9th and 10th. It was a really fun day.

Susan, glad you enjoyed camping. Good you got lots of walks in. Hope you get all your laundry caught up.

Laurie, sorry your legs are hurting. I'll bet it takes a bit to get used to standing all day long. Hope you feel better later in the day so you can get your workout in.

Sue, what did you end up doing for the 4th?

Enjoy your day.
 
Susan - Glad to hear camping was fun. No on to LaundryMax! :)

Laurie - How did opening weekend go?

Karen - I ended up doing Power Hour on the 4th. Later that day we walked for miles and miles - or so it seemed ;-) - to/from our car for the Waukesha fireworks.

Here's what I did over the weekend:
Saturday - Cardio mish-mosh: Kelly Coffey-Meyer Step Kickbox - 1st 25 min. then got tired of it so put in Imax3 and did the no blast step premix.
Sunday - BFL style lifting on my own: chest, back and shoulders plus 40 min. bike ride
Monday - BFL style lifting on my own: bis & tris

Like Laurie, I didn't have a lot of energy this morning. DS is supposed to have a game tonight so can't do anything after work unless it's some real quick legwork before meeting up at the game.

Only 4 days of work this week. Kitties have a vet appt. on Friday and the girl cat needs to have her teeth cleaned so I'm dropping her off early and picking her up in the afternoon.

Have a good day,
Sue
 
Morning BB's,

Just so busy yesterday that I didn't have a chance to get back on. I ordered the new One on One workouts with Tony yesterday. Yes I guess I love the guy! :+

After work I will get my hair cut and colored. Then I will head home for an easy 4m run, and at 9pm play vb. :D Feeling much more chipper today than I did yesterday. :D

Susan, Did you decide what you wanted to do for exercise yesterday? Glad you enjoyed the camping, but I bet those mosquitoes where having a great time bothering you all. They where just nasty down at the faire, just around 5:30pm.

Karen, Congrats to your DS!!!! Bet he was a happy guy for that win! :7 I was very tired during my workout, so I don't think it was my best. I fell asleep on the couch last night! :( Oh well, but today is a much better day!

Sue, WTG on the workouts this weekend! Opening weekend went really well considering we had an understudy for our Queen. There where a few comments by some X guilde members. They said she needed to wave and smile more when on the horse. So I'm like #1 She was really really nervous. #2 She has never been to a Ren Faire in her life. #3 She has never ridden a horse. #4 I bet she was trying to remember her lines for the stage show she was just about to perform. Give the girl a break!!!! Can you tell I'm the protective MOM for her. She is only 21 years old, but just a gem. :D

Have a great day ladies!

Laurie
 
Good Morning,

I did SH tri today and stretchmax. Tonight we will go for the group ride a gain. My SIL and Brother will join us tonight as they are still here.

Sue, we just walked down to our dock to watch fireworks. How did DD game go last night. Nice you got so many good workouts in.

Laurie, glad you are feeling better today. Have fun at volleyball tonight. It is fun to order workouts from instructors we like. I wish I clicked with Tony, I think his workouts are good.

Hi Susan are caught up from the weekend?

Have a great day.
 
Hi!:D

Yesterday I jumped on the elliptical for 45mn and did ab work. Today was a 30mn walk and KPC. I am back to normal from the weekend. I just have about 6 loads of laundry to fold!x( Hate that chore!

Karen, enjoy your ride tonight!

Sue, how was the game?

Laurie, we were lucky and did not have many mosquitoes by us. My DS only had 1 bite! No ticks either. My friend was camping up north and they had ticks all over the place! YUCK!

By for now! Susan
 
Laurie - Tony's workouts look appealing but I don't want to commit to a monthly thing. May change my mind if the reviews are good though. ;-) I asked for P90X + for my birthday so we'll see if I get it. :) Don't know how you can play volleyball at 9 p.m. I'm thinking about bed around then. Boy, I can't believe how critical those ex-guild members were of your new queen! More smiling and waving - give me a break. It's not like she fell off her horse or anything (which if she never rode a horse before was probably hanging on for dear life!) Good that she has a "Mom" like you to stick up for her. :)

Karen - Forgot to say "Yeah!" for DS' win yesterday so I'm saying it now. :) He must have been excited to win. Too bad DH's chain fell off. It must be hard to lose on an equipment failure like that. Last night's game was SO close! We were winning until the 5th inning and I was composing their victory post in my mind but they ended up losing 13-10. Earlier in the season we lost to this team 16-2 so they should be proud of far they've come.

Susan - I hate folding laundry, too. It's better now that the kids are older. I'll lay their clothes out flat on the carpet in their own respective piles and they have to do the job of hanging them up or folding them and putting away. Saves a little work anyway. Sounds like you've been getting some great workouts in.

This morning I did 2.5 mile jog/walk. Was planning to do more cardio tonight but DH wants to go to Dojo. It's the "Leadership" class where we work with weapons and stuff so usually not as much a workout as the regular class. Hopefully I work up a sweat either there or later at home.

Sue
 
Hi there!:D

Well, today sure is a bit cooler than yesterday! I was actually chilly while walking Ruby this morning! I think I'll do CTX Power Circuit and then...? Can't decide what else I feel like doing! I'll come up with something!

Not much to do today. There's always house work but I think we'll go for a bike ride instead!:p

Hope you all have a great day! Susan
 
Morning BB's,

Todays workout was P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Tough workout as always! :D

We only won 1 of 3 games yesterday, and again it was against 20 year olds. This was probably the best team we have played against so far. They had some really good servers. The guys just belted the ball over the net.

Susan, Yes this morning was a bit chilly, I was surprised when I walked out the door in my shorts! :D The bike ride sounds like a lot of fun. I will prepare myself for the ticks when we head up north next week. Very nice that you didn't have to suffer with the mosquito slapping! :D

Karen, Maybe we can get together while I'm up in the great north woods. We will be heading up sometime on Monday, but I was thinking that on Friday we might meet someplace? Let me know, I think I have my e-mail available on this site. I will make sure. :D How did your SIL and brother fair on the bike ride. Do they bike alot? Many people don't click with Tony, but you are getting STS right?

Sue, I will be the your review person for the one-on-ones. It will take a year to get all the workouts, then I would think that he would need to put out some type of rotation. I watched a clip of the Plyo Legs and the next one. Which looks like a full body workout with the band. I didn't see anywhere that it had a name! Such a close game for your DS, to bad they couldn't hold on. Was it again because of not doing a pitching change?

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Hi guys,

Today I got in B&G before I took the kids to my brothers hotel. They didn't fair well on the bike ride last night. We had barely started and the turned back so DH and I went back and rode with them the same route but without the group. It was a slow but nice ride.

Susan, have fun with CTX and enjoy your bike ride. It's so nice getting out.

Sue, how did Dojo go last night? Did you get any more cardio in? Sorry about DS loss. At least they were close and I'll bet it was a fun game to watch.

Laurie, Fri would be great to get together. I'll try e-mailing you when I get back from the ortho with DD. I am getting STS. My DH ordered it at the beginning of the presale even though we didn't have the money and he surprised me after all my saying how I wish I could get it. How nice. So you are back on the P90X rotation again?

Have to get going. Have a great day.
 
Susan - I vote for bike ride over housework. ;-) I really enjoyed my bike ride last weekend even though it was way too short. Hoping to go again soon.

Laurie - Those darn 20 year olds! :+ You weren't shutout though and if they are a really good team you should be proud. :) Can't blame the pitching for the loss the other night. The other team just started hitting really well.

Karen - Didn't go to Dojo. Got home from work late so I sent the kids and DH off without me. That's so great that DH bought STS for you. My mom gave me $25 for my birthday so I'm going to get a dvd with that. Don't know what yet. Waiting to see what DH surprises me with tonight for my birthday. I also want a body bar and weighted gloves.

Did 4DS Legs premix last night instead of a cardio because my legs were feeling a little neglected. This morning I did the warmup from Imax + the step portion of MIC (up to the challenge). I must be really out of cardio shape because it whipped my butt!

Have a great day!

Sue
 
Happy Birthday Sue. Sorry I didn't know earlier or I would have added it to my post. Eat some cake and enjoy your day. Let us know what DH gets you.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Sue
Happy Birthday to you.
 
Thank you, Karen. :7 :7 You're such a sweetie.

Just got back from DD's softball game. They won! Didn't have any cake mixes in the house so DD made me birthday brownies and made me close my eyes as they topped my piece with Oreo ice cream - MY FAVORITE! :9 Yum yum. Back to the diet tomorrow. :D

DS bought me P90X + but it didn't arrive yet. He is also ordering mulch! :7 I'm almost more excited about the mulch than P90X because I've been complaining about how desperately we need it for the past 2-3 summers and we never seem to get around to ordering any. Now he HAS to order it.

Have a good night or morning or whenever you read this.

Sue
 
Sue, Happy Birthday! Your DH sounds likes a great guy! I hope you enjoy P90X when you get it! Boy, you'll be the buffest Mom on the block!:D I had to laugh over your excitement over mulch!:p

I love brownies over cake any day! YUMMY!

Glad you enjoyed your day! Now, enjoy your night!;-)

Susan
 
Good Morning,

I will try to get some cardio in today when my brother and SIL leave.

Sue, a birthday win, just for you. I'll bet your DS team was really happy. You got some good presents. Can never have enough mulch. Glad you enjoyed your brownie with oreo ice cream.

Susan, have a good day.

Laurie, enjoy your workout. Did you get my e-mail? We could eat, walk or run when we get together or your welcome to come to my house with your family.

Have a great day.
 
Morning BB's,

No workout for me yet, because I have to take DD15 to the dentist this afternoon. I'm hoping to get in a 4m run, but I also would like to get myself to church too. Will see how it all works out in the end. :D We have a house full of girls again tonight. Oldest has a friend staying over, and our friends GD is staying the night too.

Karen, I didn't get a chance to look at my e-mail last night, was helping someone with their faire garb. Will check out the e-mails when I get home. Are you going to do an STS rotation as soon as we get it then? Would be fun if we all where STSing together. In the P90X+ rotation the recovery week uses the P90X series. It is a nice change of pace.

Sue, Happy Birthday!! The brownie sounds really delicious, and topped with ice cream too. :D What more could a girl need. :9 Congrats to your DD, the team sounds like they have stopped making a fuss about their appearance and are into the softball. :D You will really like the P90X+ workouts. I could see and feel a difference in my back in just a few workouts. Lots of shoulder work I think, but then you really do start seeing some definition in that area too. :D

Susan, How did the bike ride go? I must say that we really can't complain to bad about the weather we have been having. Today was even a bit cool again.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Hello there! Overslept this morning so Ruby was not happy with me. I'll have to get her walk in later. I'll be busy running around most of the day, then I need to mow the lawn and then of course walk Ruby! My workout will hopefully be Pilates Power Sculpting.

The bike ride was fun. My DS likes to think he's a NASCAR driver when we go. I am Dale Jr. and he's Gordon. We laughed a lot.

You all have a great day! Says storms might be here later.... as long as it's much later I don't care!

BYE! Susan:D
 
Sue, it was DD game not DS game. Sorry for the mistake on my part. I guess I was just hoping your DS team would win,
 
Susan - Hope you get Ruby's walk and your lawn mowing in before it rains!

Karen - I'm still hoping too! :) DS has a game tonight so maybe they'll win. It's a good team though so I'm not composing a victory post just yet. . .

Laurie - How long before you get your 1st Tony One-on-One? Can't wait to try my new Plus workouts.

Karen & Laurie - How cool that you guys are getting together! :) It's always nice to put a face to someone you've chatted to. . . for how long now? 3 years?

Got up this morning and:
ate breakfast
got dressed in my workout clothes
went downstairs
loaded the dvd in the player

and realized I was just too tired to do 4DS upper body so I went back to bed! :+

Seem to be doing that more and more lately. Totally confuses our male cat, too. He gets in his comfy spot on the love seat in my workout room and lies there with one eye open waiting for me to finish my workout because he knows when I go back upstairs I feed the cats their wet food. This morning when I went back upstairs right away he looked at me like "What the heck is going on?"

Thinking of doing 1 of the upper body premixes before DS' game tonight. I'm off tomorrow to take the kitties to the vet. (One has to be dropped off early for teeth cleaning.) Should have plenty of time tomorrow to workout.
