Susan - 27-6! What a great win!

DS' football team won again (33-6) making them 3 & 0! DS got his first sack of the season. They played a team that was also undefeated so they felt pretty good about that. I took some pictures at the game so just need to load them onto the pc and into Picturetrail.

I did a 3 mile jog/walk on Saturday. Sunday was Muscle Endurance. This morning was Step Max.

I'll be back later to check up on you ladies. :D
 
Morning All,

Today was Core Syn. Still dread the dreya roll. Dh asked if I wanted to fast forward thru it or not. Not sure if he was serious. :p I am on my third week of p90x. Loving it. But really think I need more cardio. So I ordered KPC today. Can't wait. I wanted more but with STS already I am pushing my budget.

Sue big congrats to your son. He must be sooooo proud. :cool: Good job to you on getting those workouts in!!

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a terrific weekend.
 
Hi there!

Stopping by quick before I run off to get the kids! My weekend was nice. Saturday I took a long 60mn walkand then went to DS's flag football game. they did not win but DS played quarterback and he did an awesome job!:DYesterday was church Sunday School followed by a Birthday party for my niece. My workouts were just not up to par this weekend!:(

This morning I woke up early and went for a 30mn walk followed immediately by the elliptical for a tough 25mn HIIT workout. After school will be bi/tri/abs work!


Sue, your DS had a great game! Woo Hoo!! Way to go! Also congrats on getting your workouts in!

Dani, I LOVE KPC and I hope when you get it, that you do too!

Hi Laurie!
Hi Karen!
Hi Lala!

Be back later! Susan
 
Dani - Legs & Glutes comes on the dvd with KPC so you're getting 2 great workouts with TONS of premixes. SNM really went nuts creating premixes on that one. Glad you're still enjoying the "X" and yeah, I think next time I do Core Syn I'm going to use your DH's idea and fast forward thru the Dreya rolls. :D

Susan - Congrats to DS on a job well done as QB. Winning is nice but I'd rather see my kids try hard and do well.

Off to watch Heroes! Told the kids we have to watch the last hour tomorrow night or they'll be too tired tomorrow.

Have a good night all!
 
Sue, More congrats to DS. Good workouts.

I ran last fri for 45 mins and then my hip hurt:( so went to the athletic trainer at school who told me it was my piriformis (did I spell that right?) anyway he gave me some stretches and it has helped some, but I´m still sore. Sue, or any runner, do you get hip pain and what do you do?

I am taking this week off (just from exercise, not life :)). I began to do that shortly after I started lurking on these forums and try to do it about every 2 months. so maybe the rest will get rid of my aches and pains!

Dani, glad you´re enjoying your X and Sue is right, you´ll love KPC

susan, you work out so much that a sub par weekend is not going to hurt!

Hi to Karen and Laurie!
 
Morning BB's,

Well it is about dang time that I got on to chat with all you wonderful ladies! :D Very busy working my fingers to the bone! :D

Today I got in a 3m run and the new One on One Ab workout with Tony Horton. This workout was basically Ab Ripper followed by Ab Ripper X, for a total of 30 min workout. They are suppose to be sending me a new DVD, because of a defect. They put in two chapter points, so as I was crunching away, all of a sudden it went to the beginning again. :eek:

DD15 had a great race on Saturday with a time of 16:12, so she shaved another 23 seconds of her last time. I know that I would never be able to something like that! Her coach told her she has gone from a good runner to a top runner!

DD11 had her first dance class on Saturday, and she had a huge smile on her face when the class was finished. She must have gotten quite a workout in, because she was huffing and puffing when she came by me. All the way home she was talking all about her class. I think Miss Sharon is a very wise woman by advancing her into the next class. She was getting bored at the end of last year! :)

Lala, In all my time running I have not had hip pain, so I'm sorry I can't help you out. Maybe is will just take some time, I know that Karen had some problems with her hip when she was running.

Sue, So what did you think of Heroes last night! I'm still not quite certain that I understand everything that is going on. Will wait with until you are able to watch the last hour to see what you think of the whole thing. :eek: Congrats to your DS on such a great start to their season.

Dani, Oh you will love KPC and Legs & Glutes. L&G has to be one of my favorite leg workouts, because she doesn't use a weighted bar. Glad you are enjoying the X workouts.

Susan, Don't worry about those workouts, you will get back into the swing of things again! Can't be any worse than I was, because I didn't do anything for three days! :eek: Just really LAZY! :D Wonderful job by your DS and quarterbacking!

Laurie
 
Lala - I don't consider myself a runner (or even a jogger) since I so rarely do it but I'll tell you what's been my experience with hip pain and running. For me, I'll get hip pain, hip flexor pain, shin splints or other things if I haven't been running and then one day decide to do 5 miles. In other words, I overdo it. Other things to consider: How are your shoes? Do they need to be replaced? Are they running shoes or cross trainers? What kind of surface do you run on?

Laurie - Thanks for not spoiling Heroes for me. :) The first hour was pretty good so I can't imagine what happens next. The kids will probably watch after school so I hope they don't spill the beans.

This morning I did the weight segments of Drill Max.
 
Good Afternoon Ladies,

Today was Cardio X. It flew by. I am glad all of you like KPC. I am excited to get it.

Laurie congrats on your DD. She must be feeling great shaving time off her run.

Busy day cleaning and trying to stay awake. Noisy neighbor kept me up last night. Grrrrrrrrr

Hi everyone else hope everyone gets a good workout in today!!
 
Hi ladies!!

I must say we are getting VERY spoiled with this terrific weather! I only hope it doesn't mean we'll have a horrible winter! Up early and man was I achin'! Every muscle was hurtin' for some reason. I walked Ruby anyway and then came home and stretched. Was lifting and moving heavy boxes at work again and my muscles are still achey! :p I was going to go do a tough elliptical workout but ya know what? I am going to go do some pilates and hopefully get rid of the soreness a bit! Still wearing my pedometer daily and averaging 20,000 steps give or take!

Lala, I am sorry you are having hip problems. When I used to run, it was my knees that were bothersome and occassionally my hip flexor. The rest should do you good. Make sure you stretch a lot too!

Laurie, your DD did a great job! How wonderful and she should be so proud of herself!:D

Dani, sorry you had a noisy neighbor. Ours was hammering on something too. It bothered us for a little while but I must have tuned him out eventually and fell asleep! Funny thing, I have been having very funny,silly dreams where I wake up giggling! It's nice though cuz I wake up in a good mood! :p

Hi Karen!!

Bye for now- Susan
 
Dani - Love your Meez!

Susan - You are just an Energizer Bunny aren't you? I don't know how you can do all that walking and still have energy for your workouts. Wow!

** Heroes Spoiler **
Laurie - Just got done watching the last hour of Heroes. WOW! :eek: DH and I watched it together and as we were fast forwarding through the commercials he made the observation that those with special powers are either creepy or comic relief like Hiro and Parkman. The next scene showed Parkman in the African dessert. "Why are you talking to a turtle?" That gave me the biggest laugh of the night and DH turned to me and said "See! What did I tell you - comic relief!" :D
** End of Spoiler **

Off to bed with me now. Good night!
 
Morning BB's,

Today my workout was BBS Timesaver #1, and I will run 2m after work.

Yesterday I had to call animal control, because there is a horse in our neighborhood that is really looking thin. :( Either the horse is sick, or they are not taking care of him. The officer that I talked to had already gotten a call on this horse, but she said it was good that I called.

Sue, I think your DH is right on the comic relief. Probably because some parts are so intense, you need that. :D

Dani, Sorry to hear that the neighbors are keeping you up! We don't have that to often anymore. Used to happen more when we lived in New Berlin. :) We had a neighbor that used to start up his outboard motor on Saturday mornings. :eek: And the motor was in a 55 gal barrel. :D Cute Meez!

Susan, They really have you working at that school. :D Keep up the good work with those steps.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good Afternoon Ladies,

Today was arms and shoulders along with ab ripper. I was so tired when I got home I just closed my eyes and was sleeping in less than a minute. I woke up and yelled at DH to put the DVD in. He would of let me sleep and skipped the workout. That stinker. His reasoning was we could just swap Sunday for today. I gently reminded him that we are running in Race for the Cure on Sunday. So we both don't run anymore and we are doing this 5K. It should be very interesting.

Susan great job on all of your steps. We have a pedometer and I am going to wear it tomorrow just to see. It will give me a good laugh. I am guessing around 500 steps. :eek:

Laurie Yikes about the horse. I just don't understand people. I especially don't understand my neighbors. :rolleyes: She is a 21 year girl with a 2 year old, and all I ever hear is that little girl crying and her mom yelling at her. It is just sad.

Hi Sue, Karen and LaLa. Hope you are all enjoying this weather. Tomorrow we are going to the Zoo. This will probably be our last nice week.

Hell there!:D

Laurie, it's so sad when you see an animal being abused or neglected. I hope it gets the help it needs soon.

Dani, way to go on not sleeping through your workout!;) That's also sad about your 2 yr old neighbor. What can a 2 year old do that would require you to yell at them all the time? Geez....

Today I woke up and realized I had caught my sons cold. My head felt so heavy! I did not want to get up, but I did! Took Ruby for her walk. Now I need to mow lawn and do yard work. Was hoping to be able to rest after dinner but I have a meeting at church.:( Oh well, maybe after I get home... My nose is sooo stuffy and my head is all foggy....

Hi Sue!
Hi Lala!!
Hi Karen!
 
Hi everyone. Sounds like you are all having a good workout week.
Dani, the run sounds like it should be fun and hope you have good weather. Let us know how many steps you get in.
Laurie, Sounds like a good workout today
Karen, hope you're having a good week
Susan, get well!
Sue, Thanks for the running advice. (yea, I actually jog, too!)My shoes are new (new balance) but I don't know if they are right for my feet. I'd really like to go to a gait clinic or something if I'm going to keep this up.

Morning BB's,

Today I ran 2 miles and did BBS Timesaver #2 Back and Abs. Didn't have time yesterday to attempt the run, becasue oldest DD's practice was along one. Apparently they went to the trail they will be running on Saturday. That park is quite a ways from the school! :D

Dani, Glad you where able to get your workout in even though you where tired. Naughty DH though! :D Enjoy your time at the zoo today, that should be lot's of fun.

Susan, Dang on that germ gettin a hold of you! :( Take care of yourself!

Lala, Quick wave as you did your fly by! :D

Oh almost forgot, this morning while Cami and I where walking I saw a shooting star. I actually saw as it entered the earths atmosphere. So cool!

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good afternoon,

Still not feeling well. Can't seem to shake this, my head still feels like it is going to blow up. Still trying to avoid the Dr. DD5 has hand,foot mouth-viral infection but she has sores in her mouth. DS12 got it and DD17 now has it. Probably DS10 has it too. DD17 throat is really closed up. I am surprised she can get even water down. Because her tubes are smaller, any inflamation really closes the gap.

Sorry I am so far behind on everything but I just am not up to checking and rememberiing anything. Just wanting to let you all know I am thinking of you.

Take care.
 
Karen & Susan - Hope you gals get better soon! :( Sorry to hear about all the illness going around.

Laurie - Cool! Never seen a shooting star. So did they run to the trail and get an even longer workout? DD must have been tired.

Well today I got on the scale and it was not good. I know some of it is water weight but I've been eating my stress lately and the stress will continue for many more months so I've got to get a handle on it NOW! I woke up and did cardio on an empty stomach and have made very good food choices today - even passed up a chocolate chip cookie. Drinking lots of water, too. I'm not going to deny myself cc cookies for life - just the next few weeks until my clothes start fitting better and I feel better about myself. Okay, that's enough self-pity.

This morning I did KBX Quick NRG premix.
 
HI there!

Laurie, I have seen a couple shooting stars over the past couple years. I was also admiring how clear the sky was this morning and how many stars were out!

Karen, so sorry to hear that you and your family are not doing well! I do hope you start to feel better soon!:(

Sue, that darn scale!;) Just try and make the best choices you can and keep healthy snacks close at hand so ya don't grab the wrong ones!

Woke up barely able to breathe out of my nose today! Took Ruby for her walk and am now going to go get on the elliptical for 40mn. Need to take DS to Tae Kwon Do after an early supper! DH is at a conference for the next 2 days then gone the weekend to Stevens Point to roof a friends house.

See you tomorrow!

Hi Dani! Hi lala!
 
Good Morning,

Today I will attempt B&G.

Laurie, read about DD race. She is doing great. A shooting star, how cool. I haven't seen one in a long time.

Sue, sorry the scale is not cooperating with you. Glad you are sticking to the clean eating. I suppose it's better for us anyway--although I am no good at it. congrats to DS for the great football game.

Susan, sorry you are getting a cold. You just keep right on moving though don't you? I've been trying to walk every day after DD5 gets home from school. She loves to go for walks. I'll bet I am nowhere near as many steps as you are.

lala, Finding a good running shoe is half the battle. I haven't had as many problems with my hips and knees since I got my Asics Duomax. The chiro helps keep me in line too.

Dani, hope you enjoyed your visit to the zoo. Have fun at the race on Sun. Glad you are helping such a good cause. Funny how DH wasn't going to wake you up for you workout.

Tonight is our Homecoming. We are all going to the game. DD17 and DD16 are going to the dance with some friends. One of the moms of the special needs kids offered to take a group of them to the Fall Formal. DD17 is very excited. DD5 plays her first basketball game tomorrow. I have to figure out what to do for her birthday. It is on the 1st of Oct. Everyone is so busy and there are conferences, games, work etc. gettng in the way of planning anything.

Have a great weekend all.
 
Susan - Are you able to breath today? Hope you're feeling better.

Karen - Have fun at Homecoming! I'll keep my fingers crossed that they win. Since you're all going does that mean everyone is feeling better?

Hi, Lala & Dani!

Well, I really wanted to sleep in this morning but I think it was more laziness than fatigue. Did PUB/PLB Bonus premix. I really enjoy this one as a full body workout. Maybe because it doesn't have the hard stability ball parts in it. ;)


Tomorrow is Saturday so that means DS has a football game. They play a tough team so we'll see what happens.

I am leaving Monday around noon from work for Atlanta for class Tuesday - Thursday. I'm borrowing a laptop so I may be checking in to make sure you guys are behaving yourself. :p At least I've been to this hotel before so I know they have good equipment (3 treadmills, elliptical, recumbent, 2 weight benches and a nice assortment of dumbells. I'm going by myself again which I kind of like because I can grab a quick dinner and workout in the evening so I'm not so rushed. Gives me something to do at night and keeps me out of trouble. :D

Have an awesome weekend!
