MIchele - Oh gosh, that sounds just awful!! Are you all right?! Wishing your neck good vibes!
Diane - I look forward to hearing what you thought of those two Kundalini. They both sound great!...Oooh, I love tempeh.
Jen - Hiya! I am so choreography challenged it's not funny. But in the last few months I've figured out that Christi brings me the desire to figure the steps out. I've never been into dancing or anything like that, and while hating cardio, I figured the only cardio that I would ever enjoy would be more sporty moves like kickboxing. Man, did I love kickboxing. Until I did only kickboxing for my cardio a few times a week for like a year LOL. I haven't tried all the Christi's yet, so it's difficult for me to recommend one, but the one that comes to mind is Cardio Collectibles. It has a 40 min hi-lo and a 40 min step, I believe. There is also Mission Possible which is supposed to be her easiest one, but unfortunately I haven't yet tried it out...I don't have Cardio Fusion, but by the sounds of it, I imagine it's going to stay that way!..By the way, we Haters have a soft spot for cats.
Deb - Hey you! So have you figured out your next master plan?
I had a long day and now I'm ready to get into bed and sleep off the terribly delicious sinful crab course dinner I inhaled.
Night night!

Hi ladies -
No workout this morning, I couldn't go to sleep at all last night and didn't wake up until late. I am just not tired at night, I don't know what to do! I just try and read and not do anything stimulating, but I am never tired at night, just in the morning.
August - The yoga dvd had two short sessions, so maybe I will do one when I get home today. I can't wait to try them.

Hi Haters. Sounds like we are all pretty much cat lovers though. We have 2 - big fat Paddy cat who is pretty much worthless. He's too big to sit on your lap, too grumpy to play or be petted and doesn't do much but leave big wads of white fur all over the house (along with smelly piles of you-know-what). Frank is an ADHA grey fellow who only has two speeds, fast and asleep. He loves laps, curling up between your legs during the night and jumping on Paddy.
Michele, I hope your neck and migraine are better soon. I hate for you to have such a good excuse for not doing cardio.
Deb, I didn't say CTX doesn't have any cardio, it just has less than some of Cathe's other workouts. Each day has about 20 min of cardio, followed by one upper body part weight training. I liked it, but it didn't seem like enough of a workout for me. I think if I were more pinched timewise, or if I ever actually met my weight goal, it would be a good rotation.
August, I love crab. I tried to get some crab meat here a week or so ago, but it must be the wrong time of year.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I'm doing Boot Camp this afternoon.

Hi girlies.
I did not do anything this weekend. I was a worthless blob on the couch. Actually, I cleaned my entire house on Saturday, watched tv and played the gameboy. I made homemade pizza for supper. I just love my bread machine and use it any opportunity I get.
Tonight I'm in the mood for weights - of course! Gabe has been bugging me to workout b/c we set up his dragracing race track in the basement and he doesn't want to go down there alone. So I promised him that tonight I would go down. You should see this racetrack - it is an exact replica of a dragracing track. It has actual pedals and a tree and it even lights up for whichever car wins. Pretty cool stuff!
Michele - I'm sorry that you are feeling good. Take care of yourself!! I'd love to have lunch w/you and all the other crazy haters out here. Maybe someday.
August - I still have not ordered a Christi workout. Perhaps tonight I can get on the computer. When are you coming to the states again??????? That is when we will have our 1st Annual Haters Luncheon. Ooohh, I love crab too! Crab will be the featured dish of the luncheon and we can all where our "I Lie About Cardio" t-shirts. LOL
Hi Jen. Nice to meet you! I think we are a dying breed so it is always great to welcome another hater to the club!
Robin - have fun w/BootCamp. I love that one! During the summer Gabe and I would workout to that together.
Diane - here's a thought, since you cannot sleep at night, have you tried doing a workout in the evening? Nothing crazy like cardio but maybe some yoga??? It is worth a try.
Hi Deb, Kate, Jana and anyone else I might have forgotten.
OMG here is a funny for you - I caught Gabe kissing the tv the other day. I said are you kissing Fergie????? He's like no, I said yes you are, no I"m not, yes you are, OK I am. I said she's pretty and has nice hair. He said, yes she is pretty but I like her clothes. (or lack there of). What am I going to do with him?????

Uh oh, Dana. Better warn the girls about Gabe! I know you and your DH are into the race thing. Do you know the English Brothers? One of them works at the college and they drag race. Right now I think they are working on making and MGA into a drag car. DH is pretty good buds with one of them. Nice guys.

Thanks everybody. I'm feeling better now but the neck pain and headache are still kind of simmering in the background. I don't know which came first--the sore neck or the headache, but the stiffness has moved down into my upper back, too. I'm going to go ahead and do S&L and see if that helps. Sometimes weight training helps to ease muscular tension and pain by warming and massaging the muscles. I don't really know that for a fact...I made it up but it sounds perfectly reasonable to me. You'll notice I didn't say that cardio helps muscle stiffness. I'm pretty sure cardio activity would aggravate the problem.
I love kitties...I love my little gray stripped tabby, Johnny:+
I love y'all, too:*
I haven't old y'all about my poor DH's day. He had to fly to another city yesterday in order to testify in a medical malpractice trial today. Unfortunately, they didn't need him today after all but want him to be prepared to come back on Fridayx( . Needless to say, he's not very happy right now. So he tried to get an earlier flight home but the plane was overbooked so he has to wait. These attorneys must think he has nothing better to do than be at their beck and call. Holy mother, don't get me started--lol!
I'm sorry for my total self absorption. I'll come back and play nice tomorrow:*
Why didn't you iPod people warn me about how dangerous it is to log onto iTunes? Yeah...0.99 might seem cheap at first, until suddenly you realize you've just blown 30 bucks

Wow, found a group that loves cats & hates cardio... i think I'm in heaven! Well Storm is still being good & just trying to mind her own business but new kitty, thinking about sport for his name and then spaz as nickname, he is still hissing & growling at her. Also, he thinks there is another cat in the computer room-he hates it in here. The closet is a mirror and he sees himself in it & hisses and growls and then runs out of the room! He is a love bug though when I get home, he wants to be held, complete opposite of Storm who would rather bite me than give me love!
Well, I did B&G leg blast premix w/ the floor work added on today. I was going to try to do KPC but my arms are sore from doing Powerstrike on Saturday and then shoveling snow for an hour yesterday. I also think I am getting a bug... ugh.

Hey Jen, Frank will jump up on my dresser and NOT look at the other cat in the mirror. He kind of watches himself out of the corner of his eye. Maybe our tee shirts should say Cat Lover/Cardio Liar.

Talking about cats and mirrors, Sadie loves mirrors. We got a new cheval mirro the other day, the one that stands on the ground and can be moved at different angles. When we brought it home, we thought it was broken or something because we would set it at a certain angle so we could see ourselves, and then come back into the room and it would be pointed towards the floor. Finally, I saw Sadie go up to the mirror and use her paw to push the mirror down to see herself. She would just sit and stare at herself, it is so funny!
Michele - Sorry about your DH, those attorneys are horrible people ;-) Is your DH acting as an expert witness, or a fact witness? If he is an expert, he should at least get paid for all his time.

Oh Diane, I'm sorry. I didn't stop to consider that you're an attorney :* . Some of our best friends are attorneys --really. LMAO! Yes, he is giving expert testimony so he will be paid, but he's so busy in his own right and it's really difficult to rearrange his schedule without advance notice (some of his patients wait up to 6 months to get in). He doesn't accept many legal consults anymore because it's too time consuming, yet he receives countless requests from attorneys all over the country to review medical records and examine patients, probably because there aren't many board certified docs in his specialty area. As I'm sure you know, most cases settle out of court so he rarely has to testify.
I apologize if this is TMI ;(

Robin - I love it "Cat Lover/Cardio Liar" - that is perfect!!!
Too funny about Frank, you'd think they'd eventually figure it out! The really funny thing is he is fine with the mirror in the bathroom, he was up on the sink this morning while I was getting ready for work & was looking at himself in mirror & perfectly fine w/ it. However, closet mirror, thinks its another cat.
Diane- That is hysterical about Sadie-sounds like Sadie is having a love affair w/ herself!
Got to love cats & how each one has such a unique personality! I always cats are like women, unique & bitchy at times and dogs are like men, just feed them & give them a little love and they're happy no matter what! Not to offend any dog lovers, I love all animals.

Michele - I am just playing with you, it would be very annoying to have your time wasted, even if you are getting paid for it. He must be a great doctor to become a sought after expert witness, I am sure you are very proud. Does he usually do plaintiffs or defense work? I may need to use him someday
Michele-hope your neck/back feel better-
Jen-glad you can join us- I love cats but I can't have one cuz my husband has a brittney spaniel that likes small animals (he's a hunting dog)-i had my own little kitty-(his name was kitty) for 15 some years and then we had to put him down-sad
Robin- I'm sorry if I sounded whiney about CTX with yesterdays post- I did power circuit today and you're right it has some cardio and a little bit of weights-its different from my beloved GS -she had some "back" work in it and I did not feel a thing-whats with that??
Diane- is that you who is doing Eat to Live?- I think I read the book same time you did- I'm trying to eat more veggies like it says but I went crazy with the sweets last week
August- how are ya? yes my new master plan is to do CTX for a couple of weeks and then start P90X on Feb. 1- but don't hold me to that--LOL
hi to everyone else--deb

Deb - So sorry to hear about kitty, that is always so hard. My first cat, CJ, was with me for 10yrs. 15 years old to 25 years old, when she died I was a mess, she had a heart attack in the middle of the night, rushed her to emergency clinic, I was so lost without her, we grew up together. They become part of the family or in my case it was just her & I for the most part living together. She was a Siamese/Himalayan mix, so pretty, "pretty" was her nickname!
Man, I wish I had the energy of the new kitty, Sport aka "spaz", then I would probably love to do cardio. He keeps coming in the computer room, looking at the mirror & seeing himself, then running up to the mirror hissing & growling, then hits the mirror w/ his paw & then takes off as fast as can be out of the room.
My entertainment for the evening until 24 comes on!!!
