Good morning,

I will do cardio today, not sure what yet?


Amelia, did you try to make your own hummus? It’s so much better. Nice calorie burn yesterday.

Lori, nice run yesterday. LOL, about your DD. She likes mom’s cloth.

Iris, nice going with ME yesterday. No more DOMS. How many days are your planning on staying in Daytona? Good for you!

Trish, I slept in today. I slept until 8 a.m, felt great. Hope you get a good night sleep soon. We only bought the PS3 for watching DVD’s, that’s it. I have no time to play games, lol!

Debbie, nice job with our spin class. I don’t even like playing games, we bought the PS3 strictly for DVD’s and when DS is coming. LOL!

Helene, nice job with D7 yesterday. Sorry, your still not feeling better. Glad you liking STS. Did you order the STS tower?

Cookie, all my IRM are right on target, except my chest wo! Maybe I am a little weaker because my sinus infection? I feel like I lost strength in my chest big times. I think my lower back pain comes from my dogs sleeping in my bed, sometimes I lay like a pretzel. All twisted lol! I will get a nice stretch in today. Moving boxes in your basement is definatly a workout in my book, I am sure you feel much better.

Have a great day and workout:eek:

Good Morning!

I soooo did not want to get up this a.m! But we are playing cards tonight so if I didn't get my run in now, it wasn't going to happen. Im not even sure how I am going to get the energy to play cards unless I put DS to bed and have a little nap myself:p Im always ready to go to bed by 11'ish. Although when i am at cards I tend to enjoy myself so I doubt i will get tired.
One of the girls we play cards with was charged for stealing money at her last job. She still says that she didn't do it but she pleaded guilty b/c she didn't have the money to fight it anymore. So now she is 1 yrs house arrest...can you imagine? She is only allowed out of her house for 1 hr a day:confused: so guess where we will be playing cards for the next yr?

My tracking number for Insanity still isn't showing anything but canada post isn't updated that regularly I don't think. It will probably be in my house and it will still claim to be somewhere else in the country!

Belinda** Have a good workout!!! Yes, DD does like some of my clothes. I think when I buy things for her I have to buy it for "myself" that way I know she will like it. Sometimes I tend to pick out things that I think she will like b/c of her age and she doesn't like it at all!

Deb** I didn't do anything when I was pregnant...believe it or not. I was so tired and sick I didn't have the energy. I did workout for the first few weeks but then I was afraid something would happen and it would be my fault b/c we tired for so long. I also think I had some kind of pinched nerve in my back b/c when I would go for a walk, I would almost have to crawl home...I was in sooo much pain! So it got to the point where I didn't even walk! LOL

Cookie** You have a good plan going there. Keep them all close to ya! LOL That way they can't say anything bad.

Helene** Im thinking your DH may noticed your tower. Did you say that you paid the bills or that your DH is blind? haha! Let us know if you buy it. I would love to have that one. I didn't even check out the cost but shipping alone much be a fortune!

O.k, I gotta jet. I promised myself that I would leaver here on time today!

Lori:)
 
'Morning!
Had to get up extra early to make sure got wo in. Have a board mtg tonight so won't get home until quite late.
Belinda, I bet the sinus infections really took a toll on you. I'm always amazed at how finely tuned we are - one thing definitely affecting another. My DH won't allow our dogs on our bed or other furniture. His parents were always complaining about Americans who live with their animals in the house - said Germans never allow that. Wish his mother was still here so I could tell her you do.
Amelia, try the garlic lovers! It's great and you can use it as a form of child punishment if needed. Have you every looked at Cooking Light - every recipe I've made from there was good.
Trishs, did core power this morning and thought of you.
Iris, decided to do Cathe's 9/08 rotation. What are you doing? Book, book, book.
Lori, did you get that run in. Still surprised you weighed more than 130 ever. Bet you gave your mom a wo when she was expecting you.
Deb, stores here are already setting up for Halloween and/or Christmas. When do you start those displays?
Helene, now that I moved my wo stuff to the basement there's no hiding things from my DH. Hope you have better luck than I do at hiding expenses. Have given up on it. Once I went to NYC for a few days and had a great time. Didn't realize it was a debit card and he could trace my path before I even got home.
Did CTX step and intervals - cardio only - and yogafit core power this morning. Now I'm tired!

Hi girls,

I forgot to post my workout:mad: I ran 60 min. and burned 588 cal:p Had a great run this morning.

Sorry, I have not time for personals. I promise I will be back later. Gotta run!
 
Morning

I woke up about 40mins late this morning so it was a mad rush to the bus stop for the kids...i felt awful rushing them but i just didn't want to drive them to school:p Im glad they were able to eat breakfast...

Today is suppose to be plyometrics...but i may be cutting the grass instead. My chihauhau is disappearing when he steps off the porch;) who knows..i may do both:rolleyes:

I think my monthy vistor is near because im fighting off cravings left and right. I did go over about 250cals yesterday...had too much dark chocolate:eek: but it could of been alot worse:confused:

Belinda-Awesome job on your run this morning. Ive never made my own Hummus...since im not a huge fan of it i would probably just buy some different brands/flavors and see what i like...

Lori-Enjoy your run this morning. Im sure insanity is just around the corner from you...

Cookie-ive never tried cooking light..will have to check it out. I was very proud of my DH this week..he was willing to try ground turkey instead of lean ground beef and he said he liked it:) All our meals this week are made out of either ground turkey breast or chicken:D, thats a first. WTG on your workout girl...

Hey to everyone..i will bbl.

Hey Girls!

I have to admit, I like this 9-5 deal:) I use to have to work from 8-6:30 so it feels as if my day is cut shorter by ALOT when really its only a couple of hrs. Its almost 10:30 now!

I had a really good run this a.m. Sometimes you just never know whats gonna happen when you head out. The temps were good and I felt fine...despite the fact that I didn't really want to get up at 6:rolleyes: Im thinking I ran about 14-15 kms which is really good for a early morning run and there were quit a few hills as well. Race day is only 47 days away:eek: and I think its sold out now...it always sells out. Im going to clock off my run later to see how far I actually went.

Belinda** Good job with your run!

Ameila** TTOM was early for me this month...which is really weird. I shouldn't have started until Wed but I started on Sun. Have fun with your workout today.

Cookie** Before I got pregnant with DS I use to hover around 128-130 and I could never get any lower...no matter how hard I tried. Of course, I didn't try real hard. I would diet for 2-3 days, then tell myself I looked fine. I think the reason I stay at the weight I am now is b/c DS keeps me super busy all day long, plus everything else I throw into my day.

Oh I received another parcel before I left the house. I ordered 2 pairs of jeans from american eagle. They both fit so no returning!

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Good morning girls,

I'm going to do a bootcamp class today and off to work.

Belinda - I love to sleep in late:D Enjoy your cardio today.

Lori - I couldn't imagine only be allowed out for 1 hour . . . not sure what I would do for that hour. I know you would run:eek: LOL, but poor girl.

Cookie - Hey want to help clean my basement:) Great job on you workout this AM. I'm worried about Christmas set-up, DH & I are planning a vacation in Oct. and I need to ask when the exact dates are. Some stores already have Christmas ornaments out :confused:

Amelia - Another sleepy head . . . I bet rushing around felt like a workout:eek:

P.S. I'm another year older today;)

Have a great day everyone!
 
Good Morning Ladies....

Not such a great workout today...I made it about halfway through Rhythmic Step...and my legs are shaky today and have no energy....:( I dont know why....they're not sore, just shaky...*sigh* They don't even feel like tacking on any yoga...:eek: Mentally I'm motivated, physically my body is saying "screw you"...lol

Deb- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :D What are you doing to celebrate today??

BBL for more personals hopefully!
 
P.S. I'm another year older today;)

ok girls...my workout is done. Had NO energy but i got through about 45mins of it:confused:. Plymetrics is tough...i think its the length of it that is hard..an hour of cardio is alot:confused:

Iris-Great job with your workout today...i know how your feeling. I just did what i could and said thats good enough,LOL

Debbie-yeah..any special plans?

Lori-yay on the pants coming and good job on your run. i haven't been doing very good with my training...i still plan on doing it. Its on the 12th..but its just a 5k so i should be ok with it. If not i will powerwalk:rolleyes:

Hey to everyone that follows...have a good day. I will try and bbl..im gonna go start on the lawn now.
 
Back to see whats on the shake:) Not a whole lot going on here but its almost lunch time already! Woo Hoo!

Deb** HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Thats the best I can do...hehe! Im not a computer geek....(like our friend Ameila, don't tell her I said that;)) Hope you have a good day and workout!

Ameila** Good job with the workout! Plyo is tough. I think there was a few moves in that one that I didnt like. It was so long ago now that I don't even remember.

Iris** I have days like you had today. I didn't want to workout yesterday but I forced it. I hate doing step 1st thing in the morning cause I know I am going to go flying. Take it as hlaf a rest day:)

Alright...I will bbl! Y&R will soon be on!

Lori:)
 
Hello!

Love lunch time breaks. Nice time to read what everyone has been up to.

Deb: Yeah, one year Younger. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I wish you lots of ..... DOMS maybe? Notice how you snuck that little line in and Amelia made sure it was noticeable.

Amelia: So what do you think of P90X so far? It sounds like you are getting other workouts there as well. But the plyo sounds like it would be so much fun. Also, I wanted to add that cooking lite has a huge amount of recipes online for free. I've tried quite a few and they are usually quite tasty.

Iris: Sorry today was not a good workout day. I hate it when the body doesn't keep up with what the mind wants. So your legs are wobbly, how 'bout your arms and those 100 pushups? :eek: I can't wait for this long weekend coming up. Might go to the scottish games in Altamont this weekend.

Lori: LOL, I think DH will notice the tower when it comes, but maybe not right away. He still doesn't know about the Heart rate monitor from Polar that sits in the basement (thanks to all you enablers telling what your calorie burn is everytime!). :eek: He's usually pretty good though at letting me get stuff. I just don't want to bring attention to just how much stuff that is. STS is expensive, had to get new dumbells too. Nice run this morning by the way. I'm thinking I need to add running back into my routine. FYI, shipping on the tower was only $20 I think.

Cookie: DS is almost 5. Going to school this year. Can't imagine them (DD is 2) getting to be teenager let alone getting married. It's been a lovely journey with them so far. Hope you enjoy your clean basement. I spend a lot of time in mine (doing laundry and working out). Funny about your DH tracking your expenses in NYC. I yet have to try CTX workouts much, but they look like fun.

Belinda: Nice run! How are your sinuses lately. The weather is turning here and it's a lot more dry. When is your next surgery? I can't imagine having that kind of trouble. And yes, I did order the STS tower. I couldn't make up my mind on getting a Valor and then they posted they had extras of the STS and it is just much more what I need since I mostly do Cathe DVDs anyways.

Hope I didn't forget anything. Hello to everybody else.

Shoot, gotta go. Did Imax2 this morning and my new heart rate monitor said I burned 464 cals doing it. I'll take that.

Helene
 
Afternoon girls,

Deb - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Kick butt in bootcamp today!

Just finished my lunch...spinach salad topped with leftover tilapia from dinner. YUMMY! Today's wo was CCV4 and, man, it was so tough for me to complete it. Still can't figure out why...I overslept so I was rested, insignificant DOMs from yesterday's LB wo...nope, can't figure it out. My legs just felt like lead today. I managed 6.05 mi in 42 mins, burning 389 cals. Added on Medicine Ball abs at the end.

Belinda - ^5s on sleeping in late today. Makes all the difference doesn't it? Nice job on your run and cal burn.

Lori - How awful about your friend. Does Canada offer a public defender? Glad you had a nice run. Our mornings are getting nice and cool...today was about 62 and I imagined it being perfect running weather.

Cookie - I hope netflix makes the other YogaFit DVDs available soon or I will have to buy before trying them. I really enjoyed this last one. Nice wo today!

Amelia - My mornings are like that ALL the time....rush, rush, rush! Must be something in the air...all of us not having energy to finish our workouts :confused:

Iris - And yet another one with no energy...think we all need a rest day? Although, half my week usually ends up being a rest day:( Hope your energy picks up as the day wears on.

Helen - YAY! You got a HRM. I also use Polar and LOVE it! On Sunday I couldn't find the watch and felt so lost during my workouts. Nice cal burn today and great job on IM2!

BBL
