Good Morning:)

I am tired today. I should have went to bed earlier last night, instead I got caught up in a tv show and when I looked it was almost 12! My 6 day round starts today....:(. Just as well to start it so I can get it over with.

I am thinking today's workout will be cardio and some leg work mixed in. I didn't want to get out of bed and I lay there for a while. I don't have any training after work, which is great. Who knows...once Im on the go I may not be sleepy all day!

I will BBL!
Lori:)
 
I checked in a lot yesterday. Not much to catch up on!

Deb** I own the squeeze dvd but I don't think I have ever done it! LOL Anything non Cathe rarely gets pulled out. Shocking, I know! I was hard on the dog but not that hard! LOL

Cookie** We use to have a bigger dog that I use to take running and he was a pain as well. I don't take Charlie b/c I want to, its b/c I have to....LOL. I would much rather go by myself. Sometimes he runs in front of me and so on. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Morning all! Yesterday we had our tee ball game, and by the time we got home, ate dinner and put the kids to bed it was nine o'clock and I was spent. SO yesterday was a rest day, lol. Friday will be too. DH and I are going out to dinner after tee ball, so on average I have been doing 2 rest days a week, and I like it.

We are giving the state assessment today and tomorrow and I am a proctor. I am always so uptight right before the test begins because I worry about if something goes wrong. I need to relax.

Cookie- lol at the men saying CAthe is not human. Why can't they admit, she is just in awesome shape and they are NOT, lol :eek: RE" SED, I find it amusing that we have all these cuts in education, and then we expect more and more in regards to testing. Developing the new teacher evaluation system is going to cost $$$$$$$$$$$.

Deb- the weather held out, but it did get a bit chilly. I need to remember to bring a sweat shirt to these things. I make sure everyone else is covered except for me. . . typical mom.

Trish- WTG on the levitation!!! I always try during the yoga abs workout that CAthe has, and I can never do it and I get so frustrated. WOO Hoo! High fives to you!

AMelia- Happy b-day to your son! My son also will be turning six in August. The time is flying. We got a letter about kindergarten graduation. I got all teary-eyed, I am such a mush!

Lori- so freakin' jealous of your nap!!!!

Iris- I think you would do awesome being a PT on your own like Lori.

Okay I think that catches me up. Today will have to be a circuit workout. Maybe the original BC.

Kristin
 
Good morning,

Been up since 4 am again, can't sleep:confused: Didn't know the password to my friends computer:rolleyes: now I do:p

Yesterday I did P90X back and legs! Next week I will do something else, miss Cathe.

We had to put our RV in the shop, needed new tires and something else. Been cleaning since yesterday, it's so dusty in there. Need to do more cleaning today and finish up laundry. We will go out tonight:eek: I am excited.

I will do P90X chest today, just to finish up this week and next week I will do something else.

Amelia - I will call you today or do you still have my cell #? My phone is on, we will leave on Thursday or Friday, more and likely will will drive through Temple.

Have a great day and workout, everyone!
 
Good Morning Ladies

Happy Birthday Belinda!!!

Yesterday I did CSF Legs and Yoga Abs. There are some doms today definitely... and my lower back is killing me, it's almost tender to the touch! :confused: I'm supposed to do Back and Triceps today....Disc 2. I'm gonna give it a go.

It didn't go well with DC yesterday...*sigh*. Then he had to leave, so apparently we're going to talk more about it today. There's nothing to talk about. *sigh*. He made the point of taking his blood pressure while I was still in his office. :mad: I hate when he does that.

Ok...so as far as training goes...I'd love to do something online (is that even possible), after I go through some more education, school, (if I can) etc. I'd love to train in my home!!! But I don't OWN my own home! I have a small one bedroom apartment, no furniture because my living room is my workout space.....SO...not exactly "professional, plus I don't know legally if I can train in a space that I rent to live in. So there's my thing.

Lori- I'm making 60/40, which isn't BAD, it's just not consistent enough. I do have a salary, and it's decent for a kid just starting out. But I can't live on it. No way. And with summer coming up, it's going to die off naturally, you know? I hope the next week flies for you! I will probably pm you at some point...lol.

Kristin- Girl you are busy! So why do you get nervous before being a proctor?? What could go wrong? I never had to do it in my few short years, so I"m just curious! One of my bootcamp classes I see twice a week, are 4 teachers.....I always think about you. lol. I let them vent to me for one minute before we start...LOL.

Amelia- Dang! I was wrong...thought he was the one with the glasses! Wow, he is tall!

Trish- wtg on Yoga Abs!!!! It's funny, because there's a lot of strength move I CAN'T do and heavy weights I've never even attempted....for whatever reason. But levetations?? Have never had a problem. I do straight leg too...I sometimes wonder how. ?

Deb- Cool taking a day off!! how'd you swing that??

Cookie- I think when Helene gets back, we should all go out again. :cool:

Ok ladies...off for now...BBL
 
Hi Girls,

This morning at work was busier...not b/c of what I had to do but b/c of the amount of people that were here:mad: Was driving me crazy. Everytime I turned around there was someone else in the building. I like it nice and quiet.

My workout wasn't a crazy one this morning. Felt like I needed a lighter workout b/c I have upped my running a little bit over the last week or so. I did 10 mins on the TM and did LBB mixed in with some bike rides.

Kristin* We are going out for supper this friday night too! Its for a friends b-day. I am actually looking forward to it even though I am on call and can't drink. I enjoyed my nap yesterday but I have a feeling that later today I will want another one! LOL

Belinda** LOL...that's funny that you couldn't log on to the computer. I was just picturing you sitting there wanting to start us off. I guess it will take your body some time to adjust to the time change.

Iris** Yes....PM me!:) It is to bad that you can't train from your own home. Once I am done my course and out there I can make a lot more money. I am happy with the way things are now though and I can't take anymore. Actually, if some cut back that would be fine with me as well. On another note, why is he taking his blood pressure right in front of you!? LOL That's nuts.....sounds like he is saying "I can't talk about it right now"!

I may bbl!

Lori:)
 
Hello ladies! Belinda, I didn't know it was your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Where are you going out tonight? Have fun!

This morning I did STS plyo and the med ball/stability ball abs from Core Max. I forgot how much fun that workout is! My legs are screaming right now, esp my inner thighs!

Iris, you are gonna yell at me...I called DSG last night :eek: The more I thought about him not picking up a damn phone for 2 weeks, the angrier I got so right after class @ around 10 I called him and he didn't pick up so I left a message. He texted me at midnight "I'm SO sorry! I fell asleep on the couch and just woke up and got your message. I will call you tomorrow!!" Yeah let's see if that actually happens :confused: I'm glad I called though because the way I think of it is I win either way: things go well and we have another date OR things don't go well and I can write another coward douche out of my life with no questions about it in my mind ;)

Trish, are you gonna meet Tosca tonight?

Amelia, your son is so cute! Hope he had a great bday!

Deb, the testing isn't too bad...yet. I have a physics final tomorrow :eek::eek: And me, being lazy, had a choice to either count my bio lab exam that I have tomorrow for double the points or write a report and of course I chose the exam. I hate exams but I hate reports even more! Let's just hope I do ok.

Cookie, OMG that is so horrible about your former student! What an awful thing! I'm so sorry. Hahah @ Cathe not being human. I think it's so funny when guys dismiss her workouts; I think it's a stigma with video fitness though. She is def 1 of a kind!

Lori, ugh I couldn't sleep last night either. OR Monday. Not sure what is going on. Is it a full moon??

Kristin, wow you have been busy! My mom always gets nervous when she proctors testing too. Have fun at dinner Fri night!

Iris, I'm sorry to hear about your job being crappy :( Tell DC to shove his BP machine! ;) Could you train in your clients' homes instead of your own? Are you an employee of the gym or do you kind of rent space there to train? There are some gyms that will let you use their space for a small % if you wanted to go that route until you get your own place.
 
Hey girls, I had work early this morning then I came home and did the step combos only premix on lowmax then i went grocery shopping. Busy day...

Belinda-I'm gonna send you a pm:D My phone # has changed since the last time I sent it! Awesome job with p90x and HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!

Hello to everyone! My kids are driving me nuts over the computer so im signing off. Have a good night:)
 
Evening girls,

Well, my Tosca event was a bust. It got rescheduled for 5/26 so hopefully I won't have anything going on (not likely) and will get to go. My wo this morning was MM. I got a good burn from it so hoping for some DOMs tomorrow. I took the day off tomorrow so I'm planning to stay up late and sleep in! Woohoo, I'm such a party animal:eek:

Belinda - Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a fabulous time tonight with your DH. I gave up on p90x...couldn't stay away from Cathe too long.

Lori - Nice *easy* wo today! I like it quiet at work, too, and keep my door closed a lot. I know my director doesn't like it, but sometimes I just have to do it.

Kristin - I'm dreading the state assesments. I've been doing practice tests with DD and reviewing material from the year since January, but I'm still nervous. Have you ever tried doing the levitation in the lotus position? As soon as I tried it that way, it was a snap. I'm hoping that one day I can extend my legs like Iris:eek:

Iris - ^5 on the DOMs and DC sounds like a weirdo! Tell him to put that thing away! Funny you mention the online training...that's what I've been thinking about, too. OMG!! Can't believe you are able to do straight leg levitations!! That is impressive!!

Melissa - I haven't done coremax in forever! Another one to add to the rotation;) Nice wo today! Glad that you took the chance and called DSG. At least you won't have any regrets!

Amelia - ^5s on your wo after being at work so early! Enjoy the kiddies:p

Cookie - Recharged is stricter than Stripped, less fruit, no nut butters, etc. I've only tried those two plans but really like them both. I'm doing the M&F TB wo right now, but only doing two TB + one UB + one LB. For cardio I'm doing 1 Hiit + 1 steady state. I'm only in my second week, but I am enjoying it. Never did two TB in one week before! Oh the previous one I did is from the Jan/Feb issue http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KGB/is_1_12/ai_n56616099/?tag=content;col1

Deb - I hate when I try a new recipe and it turns out just okay:confused: I've never tried a barre wo! I'm really looking forward to Cathe's.

Gotta run. Have a good night!
 
Happy Birthday, Belinda! Hope it has been a great day for you, and that you didn't have to spend too much time cleaning. How are you getting your workouts in?
Lori, I used to try to run with the dogs but after tripping over them a couple of times, I gave up. They're really good to walk with though. However, only for under 5 miles; after that I have to start carrying them! Then I usually call home and ask my dh to come get them.
Amelia, I'm so excited that now you'll be meeting Belinda. Wow, and just a couple of weeks ago Trish! hope all went well with the partying.
Trish, why did they move the Tosca thing to later in the month? I've actually been thinking about the one in this month's M&F alternating tb with cardio, but it is doing hiit after the tb that exhausts me. How are you doing with it? My wt never budges and I go thru spells where it bugs me - like right now.
Iris, what a jerk he must be - checking his bp like that. Sorry it isn't working out as expected. There has to be something better. Yes, when Helene returns we need to get together.
Deb, I've only done Squeeze a couple of times. There's something about the way it was filmed that seems off to me, but I thought it was a good wo. The killing has really bothered me but obviously not as much as it has for the community. I mean we have the siblings of the two accused as well as the victims' relatives going to school and living within a few miles of each other. Plus some others saw it happen. It is just too much violence going on. Thanks for letting me vent.
Kristin, did you know your district is going to have to send report card grades to SED for comparison to student scores on assessments? And the strictness of the protocols for administering the assessments? Honestly, the changes are coming so fast it is hard to keep up. Taking a rest day for a date sounds wonderful.
Melissa, the good thing about the guys trying her is it ended their making fun of doing video workouts. They were also suprised to see her in a video as compared to her photos - for some reason they thought she was much bigger. My youngest son does some of her ab routines when he's visiting. Good for calling him; now you don't have to wonder about it. Did he contact you today?
Overslept this morning! Perhaps it was the rain. Got a new vacuum and tried it out, so perhaps that will count.
Cookie
 
Evening all. So today's workout was LIC. As I was doing it, I was thinking, we are already in the month of May! Before you know it, some of us will be working out together with Cathe in NJ :eek:


Belinda- Happy Birthday!!!!! Hope you had a great day!


Cookie- my principal was talking about that this morning. This is so out of hand and $$$$$$$$$. Looking forward to date night Friday ;)

Trish- I've never tried that before. Legs extended?!?!? :eek::eek::eek:. Cannot imagine ever doing that?

Amelia- almost picked LM for today's workout, but wanted some upper body too.

Melissa- I am anxious to see if DG calls. Let us know how it goes down. Almost done with classes yet? Are you taking any during the summer semester?

Iris- I always get nervous before proctoring a big exam. I don't want to be that teacher that messes up the time or finds out that I don't have enough tests, scantrons, etc. I also just feel the stress of wanting my students to do well. I am a wacko, what can I tell you? Lol.

Lori- Friday night cannot get here fast enough. I will have a drink for you ;)

Good night all!
Kristin
 
Hi girls,

Today I did the TM at home for 40 min. on the highest incline. After feeling like everyone was looking at my big butt today:eek: I'm getting parnoid since vacation is 9 days away and the scale isn't moving from the winter weight:( I want to be able to cheat a bit on vacation.

Belinda - Happy Birthday!!!!! I hope you get some down time to enjoy your birthday.

Iris - I'm thinking DC is using the blood pressure machine to say since you are leaving his "health/blood pressure" will go up. You have to do what's right for you, and in your heart.

Lori - Now you need Cathe to make some CC's and you will be set when you run:) So you did decide to go to the marathon 1/2 or full?

Kristin - You jogged my memory it does get cooler at the games, but I spent my time on the bench:) Have fun on your Friday date.

Melissa - DS has been scrambling to get reports/tests done too. It's crazy that it has to be that way at the end. I think you were right to call DSG because now the ball is in his court.

Trish - Ugh, on her cancelling hopefully you could make the next time. I meant to say congrats on the leviatation:) I think that is a great move and wish I could do it but not in this lifetime LOL. Last week the yoga instructor did it and I think only 1 or 2 others could too!

Amelia - I hope you get to meet Belinda this week:)

Cookie - You can always vent . . . that is such a hard thing for you to handle on your own. LOL at carrying the dogs & calling home for help:)

Goodnight:)
