BUFF BADGERS 7/9 - 7/13

Hi BB's,

Thanks for the well wishes. The Dr. says probably broke in a different spot than they thought so thats why the bruise and more swelling in the area above where originally thought. It still hurts, but Dr. says I can ride as pain dictates. Also he said you can't get clots inside these secondary veins. You learn something new everyday.

Today I did Kickbox Extreme and GS shoulders. Yesterday I did GS back & Butts and Guts. Tonight I will try to tandem ride with DH. We will stay close to home in case it doesn't work out. It looks like rain here.

Sue, have fun at the movie. Do you like the cooler weather better than the hot? It's nice your DH will stretch with you. That's one exercise I'd be fine doing with him. Are you doing a certain rotation?

Laurie, glad you won your game last night. Did you ever do Amys Kickbox Extreme? How did you like it if you did.

Susan, hope you get a chance to take the kids to a movie. I have to get out and walk more. It is nice to get outside. The days are already getting shorter.

Take care.
 
Karen - I'm glad to hear the doc gave you the go-ahead to ride if you want - means it's not too serious which is good news. Hope the pain goes away real soon. Did he recommend icing it or anything to help speed recovery?

I actually prefer the temperature a tad warmer than it is today but anything over 90 starts to become unbearable. 75 is perfect for me. :)

Have a good night!

Sue
 
Good Thursday Ladies!

Karen, were you able to finish the ride last night? Is you leg feeling okay?

Today is another oldie for me, Circuit Max! The only thing I don't really like about this routine is the warm up.

I was able to get the tickets to Harry Potter online! We're all set. We even get to see it on the Ultrascreen! I think I am as excited as the kids!:)

Have a great day! Susan
 
Morning BB's,

We didn't get a ride in last night. It started raining as we were getting ready to leave. I am going to try on my trainer today, a short CC. Also will do GS Chest and abs.

Susan, My leg is about the same as yesterday. It must be a slow process. I think Circuit Max is one of her tougher circuits. I don't find Drillmax to be as hard. Just something about that one for me. Glad you are so excited to see Harry Potter. Enjoy.

Sue, I agree yesterday was a little colder than I like it for summer but it would have been great for fall. What season do you like the most? We will be in Waukesha, staying with my brother for the weekend. Maybe I'll run into you. I wonder if I'd recognize you if I saw you.

Laurie, it will be so nice if the dog is a great fit. I hope it works out and everything goes smoothly. Have you been running lately? Have your feet recovered for the coming weekend?

I like the brown outfits for Cathe's bootcamp. It's fun watching the blog. I am picking up a case of cherries from a pantry that takes orders for them today. Also have to take the boys to Spooner for their timetrial. Probably won't get back today.

Have a great day.
 
Morning BB's,

Today I will be doing CC #5 since Cathe's rotation calls for a 45 min Interval Run. Thought this one would fit the bill.

Karen, I have been running, and I am trying to get up to at least one 5 mile run in the week. The current rotation only has running in it once every two weeks, so I may have to put in some extra running. Have to say so far I love both of the outfits that have been chosen for the workouts. If she starts to sell them, I hope they are not too expensive. I never purchased Amy's KB Extreme. Waiting on this one, because of the space issue.

Susan, Have a great time at the movie. We will not be able to go until next week, but I know that will be one of the things we do on vacation.

Sue, That is so cool that your DH is stretching with you. I think my DH could really benifit from doing some Yoga. I have been giving little hints, and he was in the area when I was doing one of my DVD's. He asked me if the instructor was speaking a foreign language. :7 :7 :7

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
My DH is always complaining about how inflexible he is. I show him stretches he should do. He says "That's for girls"... When he sits with his legs out straight he can't get past his knees! I LOVE stretching! If only he would listen to me he'd feel a lot better... Men!grrrr... Sue, I am glad at least your DH listens!

Susan
 
Susan - Have fun seeing Harry Potter today! All 4 of us watched a tv special we had recorded showing clips from the new movie. So much about the story I had forgotten. I'll just ask DD12 if I don't remember something. She's an HP trivia queen.

Laurie - I don't think KB Xtreme is that much a space hog. Hi/Lo Xtreme is much more so. I did KB Xtreme this morning. Kicks my butt every time and the music is really good. I really like the blue outfits from the blog but I'm really cheap when it comes to workout clothes. No one sees me in the morning but the cats and they don't care what I'm wearing as long as I remember to feed them and clean the litter box;-)

Karen - Even though I enjoy all the fun summer activities, I think I like fall the best. I guess it goes back to school and the excitement and anticipation that came with that time of year. New clothes, new school supplies, new teacher - plus the anticipation of Halloween and Thanksgiving. See you in Waukesha this weekend! LOL DS10 has a baseball tournament so that's where I'll be for most of Saturday and Sunday morning.

Like I said, I did KB Xtreme thru Combined 3 & 4 Combos so skipped #5 so I could get some ab work in. Did Leaner Legs abs. I've been really slacking on my abwork. Time to pull out ARX maybe?

Have to be at work tomorrow at 7 a.m. Ugh - it means I won't be able to workout tomorrow morning OR sleep-in! Oh, well, at least I'll get to leave early.

Sue
 
Sue, Where is the tournament? Maybe I can get my brother and sister-in-law to take me there for a few minutes. My DH is going biking in Hales Corners on Sat morning so we have to find something to do. I'd love to meet you. We are actually down that way for a wedding and reception, both at night. I did KBX yesterday but I don't like it. I found myself wanting it to be over. Sorry no workout tomorrow but sleep sounds better to me. I love fall too. The weather and smells are great. Just don't care for what comes after it. Good point about the workout clothes. I just think they are cute. I just workout in cheap clothes. No biggy.

Had to go get my wedding band fixed and my setting fixed. I won't have a wedding ring for 2 weeks. It feels weird. Have to go and make a smoothie. I am hungry. I ended up doing GS Chest and GS legs. I will do CC#3 tonight(cross my fingers) I am sort of scared to try it. I won't get to workout over the weekend or tomorrow because we are leaving. No workout for 3 days. I don't like the sound of that.

Enjoy
 
Karen - That'd be great to meet you on Saturday! Can you send me a private message so I can email the directions to you? I don't want to post it on the forum.
Sue
 
Happy Friday the 13th!

Today was a walk followed by the elliptical for 35 mins. I hope to squeeze in some pilates for abs later.

My weekend is quiet. No plans! It seems we've been gone/busy every weekend this summer. It'll be good to be home for once!

Have a great day! Susan :)
 
Morning BB's,

Today is B&G Floorwork and Abs Premix. And I think I can get in the Saturday workout because it is only 39 min. That will be Drill Max Timesaver Cardio Blast Premix. Or I can get it done later today. I have a half day off, my boss is a great guy. :) We are suppose to have a team building exercise this afternoon, and he said I didn't have to go. They are playing frisbee golf. I did this last year, and didn't enjoy myself at all. Sunday will be an off day so I plan on doing some stretching. I think one of the 20 min Stretchmax will be good for me to do before we head out to faire. :)

Susan, It is Friday the 13th. :D I didn't realize it until reading your post. Have a nice relaxing weekend. Sounds like you all need the rest. :D

Karen, I hear ya on the naked finger. I always take my ring off when I exercise. When I sweat it feels like it will fall off my finger. I forgot to put it back on last night, and went to church without it. It really felt weird. How great that you might get to meet Sue this weekend. You two have fun chatting about exercise.

Sue, Have as much fun at the tournaments as you can have. At least it will be a nice weekend for sitting out in the sun. So KBX isn't a space hog. I have been thinking of getting one of her new ones when she starts her presale. Maybe at that time I will tack on that workout to the order. I'm cheap in what I wear also. Hello Target (on sale) and Walmart! :) But wouldn't it be nice to have something cool to wear!

Have a great weekend,

Laurie
 
Hi all,

Just finishing up packing and getting ready to leave.

Laurie, have fun at the faire and great job getting in all those workouts even though you are gone all weekend. It will be nice to have a half day off. What will you do with yourself.

Susan, enjoy your walk. We are having such nice weather. Enjoy your weekend.

I did CC#3 only 35 min on the trainer last night. It went ok but I was ready to get off at the end of the time. Slowly but surely.

Sue, hope to see you this weekend. Enjoy the tournament.
 
Susan - So how was the HP movie yesterday? Have a great weekend!

Laurie - One thing about KB Xtreme you probably already know - Amy's form is not very good. It bothered me the 1st time I did the workout but I guess I'm used to it now because it doesn't any more. Hope you get your workouts in before Ren Faire this weekend (especially the stretching).

Karen - Glad you're slowly but surely healing. See you tomorrow I hope.

Got to work early and did what I have to do. Wish my boss was nice like Laurie's and would send me home but I don't think that'll happen. We're having a family picture taken tonight for a church directory. Hope the sales pitch to buy more photos doesn't last too long.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sue
 
Oh, Sue, the movie was very good. However, if you read the book, they left a lot out! I suppose with a book that's almost 900 pages, you can't put everything into the movie version!
