Good morning girls,


I will do cardio today, not sure what yet! Maybe I will go to the gym?:eek:

Have a great workout and day!
 
Morning Ladies!

Sorry I didn't get to say hi yesterday. For some reason my satellite service was not working.

Belinda, I've read the BFL for Women book. Still have some questions on why the routines are structured the way they are, but guess that's just how it is. It did cause me to change ME to ME UB split, though. I added in LIS, which I think is really fun. What kind of changes have you noticed from doing the program? How was your weekend of travel?

I was so happy to see Utah Girl listed on the forum check-in as last poster. Boy, Cheryl, have you been missed. Glad things are okay.

Amelia, were you really able to avoid all those cupcakes?!!! I caved. Cinnamon is like a magnet for me. Next time I should put nuts in it, since I don't like them. I've promised myself if I'm really good for a week straight, then I'll get the premium membership and a few fbc toys - umm, exercise equipment. Of course, I'm also hoping for a paycheck by then, too.

Lori, did you really take a rest day? That means a day without exercising. Yep, no running, no weights, no step? Just thought you might not know what that meant.

Iris, how was your weekend?

Trish, oh, please do tell what DVDs you got. I'm feeling like a reward would be good to recharge me. Of course, my DH says I've charge enough to never need a recharge.

Off to get sweaty with Step Blast. Be back in a bit.
 
Good morning Cookie,

I am not sure why the BFL routines are structured the way they are, the only thing I know it works! Maybe it's the 3 day cardio/ 3 day weight training? The changes I saw was muscle gain and lots of weight loss! You are up early this morning? Enjoy Step Blast! I will do Drill Max Cardio Blast premix!:p

Talk to you later!
 
Hey girls!

Im kinda sad this morning:( Dh and i sat down last night and figured up our bills and it seems as though we have more than money,LOL! so,for some qucik money(atleast until his first paycheck rolls in...remember he started a new job last week;)) i have to sell some of my Cathe workouts:( I almost cried when i listed them last night:( But i know i can buy them agian,so now big deal.... right?:(:mad: Im selling LM,MM(just got that one:()GS series, HST,HSC and pyramid(sigh) I need some hugs...WAAAA,WAAA!

We are both stubborn and refuse to ask our parents for handouts!


Todays gonna be a run interval and a dogwalk...the dogwalk will have to wait until DH gets home this afternoon!

Cookie-Welllllllll...yeah,i have alot of weight to lose(over 20lbs)so cupcakes for me,LOL! I love cimmamon too.....Have fun with stepblast!

Belinda-high fives on that workout! Awesome job!

Thats interesting!

Good Morning Ladies!

Hope everyone is doing well. It's cloudy in the northeast, but the temperature is still holdling up. This morning's workout was DM Ultra Cardio Blast and a 2 mile walk to work....I did DM UC last week and can't believe I had to do it AGAIN!! It is so friggin' tough!:mad: I think this rotation is going to be good for me, if it doesn't kill me:eek:

Hi Belinda! I see we are thinking alike this morning;) Doesn't DM just about wonderful/terrible?? I can't imagine doing it unless my energy is super high.

Mornin' Cookie - I got 3 DVDS....Rhythmic Step, IMAX, MIC; Power Hour, MIS, BM; and Hardcore Extreme. So far I've only done Power Hour, but a few of them are included on FF's rotation so I'll be checking them out soon. It's been a while since I've bought new DVDs so I think I'm due;) I actually need to get a few more! Hope you got good and sweaty with Step Blast:p

Amelia - Big hugs to you...I know it has to be hard selling your dvds...what a sacrifice! DH and I really need to do the same thing, but I'm scared of finding out the SAME THING!! How much are you hoping to get for your dvds? I have been trying to catch a good buy of LM, HST and HSC on ebay. Maybe I could buy them from you and then sell them back to you once the money is rolling in...like a rental...LOL. This would also give me a chance to try before I buy. Just an idea. Let me know what you think.

Ok. Off to do some work. Hello to those that follow.
BBL.
 
Good Morning!

I guess its afternoon now?:)


O.k...lets see how far I get with this, I may not have time for personals cause DS is being clingy!

I had an awful night at work last night and an even worse sleep when I got home! The dogs would not stop barking! They kept at it for the whole time I was trying to sleep. Then, when I went into DD's room to get away from the dogs (outside the window) it was no better cause someone is building a house across the st! I am going to be so tired tonight at work!

Yesterdays workout was a 25 ins run mixed in with HST, nice for a change. Right now I am getting ready to go for a run and I was right....no time for personals! But I will be back to do them later, I promise!

Lori:)

Aww,thanks Trish! Thats awful sweet of ya...i can't remember how much im selling the high steps for? If you go to Amazon.com there under Cathe friedrich....i sold LM last night! Its times like these i wish I had a dvd burner,LOL then i wouldn't have to buy them over agian...its like a cycle:confused:. Amazon had Cathe Friedrich workouts pretty cheap there!

Lori-sorry to hear about your interupted nights sleep:( Maybe work tonight will be a easy,lazy one?

Just finished my first workout,the run interval! Now i have to wait until later to get that dogwalk in!
 
Thanks for the tip Amelia! I just checked out Amazon.com...they have great prices! I am also going to invest in a burner. Some of my dvds are starting to have issues and I know the smart thing would be for me to make backup copies...especially once STS is delivered. This is quite an investment!

Oh, and great job on the run interval!

Oh, and great job on the run interval!

My DH wanted to buy one a couple of months ago...actually showed me one in the store and after i didn't seem interested we didn't get it:confused:...I wonder if i could include the premixes when burning a dvd? I bet your excited about STS....
 
Another fly by post. I have to get ready for work, plus my SIL, I and the kids are going out for supper before I go to work. And in order to do that it has to be a early lunch.
My run was a long one today, 20 k again. Im pooped. I even stopped a couple of times to have a few crackers:) Prehaps I can relax at work while watching Y&R at 7:30:) I have a flight at 1:15 though:mad:

BBL with personals....

Lori:)
 
Hi girls,

I am getting ready for bed! LOL!

WOW Lori, on your 30 miler! WTG! Enjoy your supper!

Trish - WTG on DM and 2 mile walk! I really like that premix:mad: It's a lot of fun, isn't it?

I will talk to you in the A.M. Good night!
 
Ok...I am at work and have time for personals!:)

Belinda** I didn't run 30 miles:eek:...not even close! LOL Just 12.5 miles and that was tough enough. Good job on you workout today. I enjoy doing DM as well but the only drill I don't like is #3 (i think) the one with the ball? Yeah...I don't really like that one, my arms get tired, so I really don't like doing it twice.

Ameila** Oh...I feel for ya! Nothing worse then having to sell your pride and joys:) but atleast you are making the sacrafice and like you said, not asking for handouts:confused: Don't even get me started on the dog issue! Im not sure what is up with our dog but they spend most of the day outside b/c people are working on the basement and for some reason, he as been peeing in the house as soon as he comes in! I don't know whats up with him but he is royaly ticking DH off and he seriously wants to give him away.

Cookie** Nope, no rest day for me yesterday:) Tomorrow may be a rest day though. Good job with your workout today!

Iris** I guess you and Belinda were thinking the same thing today? Nice workout!

Cheryl** Glad to see you back, I didn't think you were to far away:eek:

Im soooo lazy..wonder why?:eek: Used all of my energy running around town AND I am sooo thristy...again, wonder why? I dunno, I find 20 k to be tough enough, never mind doing the race with only 3kms of flat...which means the rest is up hill! Im hoping that pushing the stroller when running is really going to help me with this upcoming race:rolleyes:

Have a good night everyone!

Lori:)
 
Amelia, I'm sorry but can empathize with you. I know how much happiness and satisfaction you've gotten from them. How wonderful of Trish to make that offer. Perhaps you could take her up on it. I'll buy the GS Legs from you gladly send it back later. Just let me know. That's the only one of yours I don't have. Do you have the weight sheets for the workouts? Perhaps you could try to do it on your own for a while. If you need a copy of the sheets, just let me know, and I'll email them. Sorry but I don't have a DVD burner, or I'd copy mine for you.

Trish, what a generous person you are. You've risen even higher in my esteem. What rotation are you doing? I'm doing Debbie's Sept 08 one. After listening to Belinda's success with BFL, I'm modifying it a bit. Yesterday I only did upper body, cardio today, and lower body tomorrow. I have my weights all set for B&G. My daughter was telling me I'm a real dork.

Belinda, well, you're influencing me. Really perked up with major strength and weight loss comment. I've decided I'd like to try to get rid of about 7-8 lbs. I've had it for a long time and am now sick, sick, sick of it. So I've upped the weights and cardio intensity. Of course, I'd have to face the scale to know if it works, but that isn't for a few weeks yet. DM is a doozy. I like it when it's done, but doing each one twice seems so long sometimes.

Lori, dogs are aggravating. Sort of like my kids at times. Love them, but don't always necessarily like them. My husband painted one of the house doors, and already it is scratched, and it has only been two days!

Iris and Cheryl, hope things are going well for both of you.

I forgot how much fun Step Blast is. Isn't that one of the nice things about not doing a workout in a while?

Sleep well.

Cookie
 
Amelia, I just had another thought. I have a couple of DVDs I haven't used in a while. Do you want them to tide you over? A couple Jari Love and Amy Bento's. Yeah, just send me your address, and I can send them to you.
