Commit to get Fit and Lean for February 2014

Hallo ladies,

I also did Star Trainer Cardio w/Rob Click this morning. That one was fun but also confusing:(

Amelia - wow, you getting hit hard this winter! I would stay at home too, lol! Good for you! Yeah, on the total gym shipping! So exciting:D Can't wait to hear what you think.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.

Where is Lori??????????? Check in, girl!

See you all tomorrow.
 
30 min power walk with Leslie done.

No winter weather yet, suppose to come in tonight. Of course I have to work the next three days :rolleyes: oh well
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I really enjoy going to art museums but most of my kids don't. Unless it is to see something like Dali or Van Gogh. Just curious if the museum was your son's choice for his birthday. Super on your weights w/sts.
Melissa, sounds like you and Kristen may have Thursday morning off! I have to order a Back Buddy. A colleague brought one in for me to try today and OMG it is amazing. My shoulder is doing a lot better now. Its this weird s-shaped plastic device that really gets into pressure points. Have you ever heard of it before?
Kristen, you sure are doing good w/getting your workouts in. Do you count your dog walks as a workout? BTW, you are truly to be commending for walking w/these temps.
Amelia, two weeks til shipping for the total gym? Does that seem like a long time, or is it me? I heard 1/4 inch of ice for Atlanta. Of course, that was this am so it could have changed by now. I'd sure walk instead of driving if you're going in.
Deb, VT uses sand a lot instead of salt due to environmental concerns. Of course, frozen sand is another matter. There was an article in NYT about increased number of ER visits from folks slipping on ice. Hope your dh and ds are okay.
My dd is going to Thailand tomorrow for an internship. She just called and you could hear her excitement thru the phone. Did walking around today but shoulder is still sore so taking it easy. Have get a new rolling cart on my to-do list. Ordered the dvds of the original six Firm workouts. I remember when we had to preorder them for like $50 and wait forever for them. I'm happy to have them back again, and can't wait to try to them again. Hope it is not just nostalgia for me. Did any of you every do them?
Cookie
 
Cookie-I've heard of the firm workouts but have never done any of them. Hope your shoulder feels better soon. Exciting news about your DD going to Thailand, how exciting for her!!
I too think 2 weeks is a long time for shipping on the total gym but thats what QVC states on its website for it. For some reason there not shipping them out until the 25th :rolleyes:

ok, im bored. I hope our power doesn't go out tomorrow, kinda scary. We're not used to all this winter weather stuff. :confused::eek: we went out and bought some emergency items (along with everyone else in town) and I was lucky to get some flashlights and fire wood. :eek:

Have a great night girls:)
 
Hi,

I did P90X3 Eccentric upper body today. It was so cold today but at least no snow. All my shipments have been delayed so work has been slow. It looks like we are getting 10+ inches on Thursday:rolleyes: I should go to the food store & stock up tomorrow:D

Belinda - Are you getting the ice storm too, I heard it was in the Carolina's & GA? I never heard of Rob Click, but you always find good stuff.

Amelia - Be careful they are saying how dangerous the storm is that is coming your way. Sounds like you are well prepared for the storm, hopefully your electric stays on.

Cookie - I've been catching some of the figure skating the Russians are doing amazing in both singles & pairs. My firm videos are somewhere I'm sure collecting dust:eek: but they were my 1st intro to home workouts + I feel like that was how I found Cathe looking for advanced workouts.

Kristin & Melissa - It looks like you will be hit with the snow too:(

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Plan for today is: P90X3 Yoga and STS D23 legs!

Cookie - you must be excited and nerves at the same time today…..how long will your dd stay in Thailand? My son picked the museum on Sunday:D Glad you are using a rolling cart, that will take the pressure of your shoulder. Try to give your shoulder a break for awhile. I never ordered or own The Firm. They had the entire set on sale the other day on Groupon. Have fun with them. I was gonna order the new Beachbody workouts, now you can find enough info on the portion control. I really don't need/or want more workout dads.

Debbie - we are getting the ice storm too:roll eyes: I had enough! Rob Click was a trainer from the old Exercise TV. I am going through my DVD collection, starting with the once I never done:D How did you like P90X3 Eccentric Upper?

Amelia - stay safe! You are prepared for the storm;) Good for you.

Hi Kirstin, Melissa and Lori!

Off to do P90X3 yoga! BBL!
 
Good morning ladies. Yesterday was an unplanned rest day; when I got home from class, I wound up taking a 2 hour nap and was still tired when I woke up. TOTM is knocking me on my butt this time around! Today I plan on doing an UB workout, abs, and if I have the energy I'm gonna do plyo legs (which is what i was supposed to do yesterday).

I got into an argument with one of my friends yesterday. A little background on her: her bf is a major jerk. He treats her like crap, like to the point where he makes her feel guilty for ever hanging out with her friends and calls her a b**** often (again, when he wants to manipulate her into feeling bad about something to get his way); but he will "make up for it" by buying her expensive stuff. Oh but he is the "love of her life." BARF. Anyway, I was telling her about the new guy yesterday and how it kinda stinks that we don't see each other often because of our schedules and she told me I'm not putting in much effort because I'm putting school ahead of him. My rule is, if I have an 8am the next day, I'm not hanging out with the new guy especially since he doesn't get done with work until 9. She told me I need to sacrifice like she did when she would drive 2hrs upstate to be with jerk face despite the fact that she was barely passing her class. Sorry, no guy is worth that for me. I worked too hard to get to where I am and I'm not throwing it away for some dude. She said that we are in the early stages so we should want to see each other all the time and because he is putting work first and I am putting school first, that says we aren't into each other and things will never work out, unlike her and the monster who are sooooooo in love. It was the dumbest, most frustrating thing I ever heard. Sorry, just needed to vent lol :mad:

Belinda, I'm like you and I track the weights for STS as I go. I can't stand doing the 1RM; it takes too long lol. I've never been into VD either; like you, I'd rather have a quiet dinner at home than go out to a crowded restaurant. I'm also not into the big flashy gifts. I feel like if 2 people are into each other, they shouldn't need a "holiday" to show their appreciation.

Kristin, we might luck out and not get too much snow tomorrow (fingers crossed). I'm honestly tired of it lol. That is sad about the Valentine's roses :( I remember that in HS. Are you going anywhere for winter break?

Deb, the S&tC movie is what got me into the show. They recap all the major stuff in the beginning so you're not totally lost.

Amelia, someone was saying that GA closed their schools before the snow even came haha. How are you guys making out down there?

Cookie, you are my good luck charm because I finally got booked for an event this weekend! I need the money. I love art museums too, not so much the modern ones. My mom and I have a girls' date every summer when we go to the city and check out the new exhibits and the MET; the best was when we got to see the McQueen one. He is/was one of my favorite designers. I've never heard of a Back Buddy. Is it something to relieve pressure points? That is so exciting about your DD going to Thailand! I heard the Firm wos are great, I've never tried them before.

Have a great day everyone! And be safe with this weather!! NO FALLING :p
 
30 minute power walk done this morning. :)

So far we have power but there are power outages all around us. :confused:

bbl
 
Good evening,

This morning I did P90X Yoga, I also did STS D23 legs and 10 min stretch.

Melissa - sorry about your roommate! And I totally agree, no guy is worst that! Some people no matter how well you mean it, don't get. I wouldn't get relationship advice from her:rolleyes: Just let it roll of your shoulders. I am not a big flashy girl either:)

Amalia - good job this morning.

I will be back tomorrow. Good night, everyone!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, how much snow are you expected to get? Could that instructor be Rob Glick? If so, I have a couple of workouts by his wife - Kimberly Spreen, which I really enjoy. It was P90x3 that got me thinking about the Firm. When I started looking at reviews, I saw one that said how much the person missed the original firms, and since I did also, I then searched for them. Debated about 10 days for before ordering them tho. Your ds has great taste.
Melissa, that friend has a limited view of herself. You have much better priorities and self esteem. That back buddy was awesome. Very bizarre looking but hits pressure points wonderfully. Glad you got a booking.
Kristin, do you think you'll have another snow day tomorrow? I'm hoping for one. Wish I could see your haircut.
Amelia, hope you'll be able to make it to the drs tomorrow. Did you venture out today? This is global weirding.
Deb, hope your delayed deliveries are giving you an opportunity to catch up on some things. I am so tired of this cold and snow. It is just bizarre. DD was so excited about this trip, its really about the only thing she has spoken of for weeks. Looking forward to seeing photos. Took a rest day today.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I did Kick, Punch & Crunch tonight. I decided at work today to clean out the other garage when I came home so there wouldn't be so many cars in the driveway. Since it hasn't snowed to much it has become a dumping ground:eek:. The funny thing was I found a bag of salt and sand buried underneath some boxes:eek: It was like finding snow. DH & I had to chop a pile of snow that was in the front of the garage and all we had was rakes but it worked:)

They are calling for about 10-16" by me:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I think I heard it's 32 days until Spring, that doesn't sound so bad.

Belinda - I liked the workout, I can't wait to try the yoga. Is your town prepared for the snow/ice?

Kristin - It looks like you may luck out!

Amelia - It's must be a good sign that you can walk outside. Did your total body arrive? I'm hoping my electric stays on too, otherwise we won't have heat:(

Melissa - It sounds like your friend and her bf aren't very mature, you way is so much better for a relationship. The liquor stores must get crowded on VD, any chocolate drinks?

Cookie - It must be a real long trip for your DD, but it is a once in a lifetime experience. The best part is you won't have to wait for photos with new technologies.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning! I wound up getting that double workout in last night; my legs are so sore today! Today I have KickMax Bootcamp premix planned, maybe an extended stretch too. Our classes were canceled due to the weather again, so there will be shoveling in the plan as well. This weather is getting crazy now lol.

Amelia, fingers crossed that your power doesn't go out! How are you guys faring with the snow/ice?

Belinda, you know what the sad part is? The girls who don't like flashy things and flat out say "don't buy me anything" and actually mean it are the rare minority. My roommate and I are the same way: we'd rather a guy show he cares through what he says and little things he does instead of buying big elaborate gifts. The friend I told you guys about, well jerk face is taking them away somewhere "on a plane" for VD, so of course he is the best thing since sliced bread. It's one thing if the guy actually wants to do that because he cares but totally another if he does it to compensate for controlling his girl, putting her down, cheating on her, leaving her stranded in the city...oops did I just say that? ;)

Cookie, I need to look into this Back Buddy; now I'm intrigued! I'm tired of the snow too. It needs to end already!

Deb, yay for finding salt! That stuff is a rarity now. I'm glad we bought the biggest bag we could get with the last storm :eek: How much snow are you guys actually getting? We're doing Cupcake wines Fri but they're doing a VD promo so one of us will pour and the other will wrap the purchase bottles in tissue paper and give the customers roses & chocolate lol. Should be fun :D

Waving hello to Kristin!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Good morning,

We have like 12' of snow:eek: I really had it with this weather lately. Way to much snow.

Melissa - I don't think jury face is flying anywhere in this weather:p That's crazy. Have fun shoveling snow today, that's a workout for sure. One good thing, DH is home today. He does all the snow shoveling:D

Debbie - I hear you on the garage, ours isn't that bad….but everything seems to end up in there lately:confused: Yeah, on the salt! Hopefully it will take you through this crazy weather. I can't wait for Spring. Can't come soon enough.

Cookie - yeah, it was Rob Click. Did I wrote his name wrong? LOL! I never done his workouts, was pretty good. Didn't know he is married to Kimberly Spreen. I never done the Firm workouts, can't compare them. So far, I really enjoy P90X3.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. Stay warm, everyone.
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I'm with you on being sick of this winter! Still snowing here. I've heard good things about Rob Glick's workouts, but have never done any. Kimberly Spreen has a kickbox one I really like.
Amelia, how are things down there? Hope you were able to get to the doctor's today. Did you have to walk there?
Melissa, some girls just love the show and drama. My dh is definitely not like that guy, and I'm very thankful. Hope this new guy is good. The wine tasting will be fun.
Kristen, did you get socked with the weather today? Sounds like everything there was shut down.
Deb, your garage couldn't have needed much cleaning if you were able to do it so quickly! Glad you found more salt - its worth its weight in gold right now. KPC is my all-time favorite kb workout! Just love it. Yeah, the early Firms were my gateway series to Cathe also. My dh claims they are like an addiction - I have a hard time giving them up.
My shoulder is still troubling me. Now I'm regretting not getting Prime so I could get my Back Buddy quicker. Amazon just seems to be controlling so many things that I resist paying for it. Anyway, did part of Firm vol 6, using the hi step, and managed to get in a lot of steps today. My legs are feeling it already.
Cookie
 
Hey girls, I came home from work to find a dozen pink roses on the kitchen table and a long body pillow next too it. Aww :) I honestly wasn't expecting anything :) Guess I gotta go get him something now :rolleyes: ( I know, im terrible :p)

Im so tired, work was exhausting and im not feeling too well. I think I have my hubby's virus from last week. He had dizzy spells, muscle aches and fatigue.

Cookie-The doctors office called me yesterday to reschedule since the weather was crazy. I go this coming up Wednesday(ugh another week) Great job with your firm workout!!

Belinda-:eek: on the snow fall you got, wow. Great job on your workout.

Melissa- We woke up to at least 3 inches of snow ( crazy for GA) and now its all melted. We didn't go anywhere yesterday - talk about cabin fever. DH and the kids were getting on my last nerve :mad: I'm thankful I went to work this morning I would have strangles somebody! ( a co-worker picked me up, she has 4WD:))

Debbie-32 days till spring - sigh, not much longer! My Total Gym ships out on the 25th :)

Kristin-I bet your excited about winter break. My kids will be out all next week and there ecstatic
 
Hi,

It ended up being about 12 inches of snow & it was icy & heavy. We all did some shoveling and it looks like it barely made a dent:confused: I can't imagine what will happen when all this melts:eek: Tomorrow is another day hopefully it won't snow much tonight! The fire trucks were across the street at my neighbors house but it must have been ok because they didn't stay long.

I did P90X3 yoga and it was so similar to Jessie's class & a 30 min. version of a UY dvd. I liked it and the 30 min. was nice:)

Belinda - I saw in the news that your getting more snow too:( I did hear 50 degree temps for later next week:) Kudos on doubling up on your workouts, I really need to do that.

Kristin - How are you?

Amelia - There were moments that we were getting on each other's nerve today but the day went by so quick. We probably have about 2 - 3 feet of snow in spots because nothing is melting here.

Melissa - My kids were telling me that they may take part of their Spring break away. Does the wine actually taste like cupcakes? The tasting sounds like fun, especially the chocolate part;)

Cookie - Revisiting the Firms sounds like fun. I remember (in the late 80's) working as a temp and a co-worker also did the Firms and was shocked that anyone would know about home workouts. My real 1st home workout was a Jane Fonda exercise album:eek: and afterwards her video.

Goodnight:)
 
Happy Valentine's Day,

Today I will do P90X Incinertor and STS D24 (BB).

Cookie - have fun revisiting the Firms. I was thinking revisiting The Step Reebok. We have Amazon Prime, glad we got it. Sorry to hear about your shoulder, maybe you need to get it checked out.

Debbie - hope your neighbors are ok. Yeah, we getting hit with snow hard. Glad you like P90X3 yoga. We love it! So far, we have no complains about the workouts, except the modifier doesn't really modify:roll eyes:

Amelia - we are covered in snow. DH took a few pictures yesterday, I will post them later. It's crazy. Aww…that is so sweet from your DH:D

Waving Hi to Kirstin and Melissa. I will be back later.




I will be back after my workout. BBL!
 
The snow is slowing down!
Belinda, this winter is overwhelming! I did get a shipping notice for the back buddy, so that's good. Right now I'm using a golf ball to rub out the muscle soreness. Are you planning on going cross country w/the rv this summer?
Amelia, that was nice of your co-worker to give you a ride and dh's a charmer! How sweet. If my dh gave me flowers after all these years, I'd wonder what he had done. So, Wed for the dr. I have to make a list of what I want to mention so I don't forget when I get to the dr.
Melissa, bet this weather is increasing the alcohol consumption! What is a cupcake wine? I was given a bottle of chocolate wine but have been leary of trying it.
Kristen, are you buried under the snow? How are you doing?
Deb, I had that Jane Fonda book and record! Never had the leg warmers tho. If I was a college student with any $, I'd go somewhere warm and drier.
The snow is up to my car. Went to let the dogs out this morning, but could barely open the door. ShovelMax is the major exercise of the day. Did finally try out Rocking Step 1 this morning. I have two left feet and was only using step platform, but still managed to trip over it. Such a klutz. Shoulder is still sore, so can't raise arm up high, but hey I got a workout other than shoveling in.
