Hallo ladies,

I will not take a recovery week this week. I will take one at the beginning May. I still have my all my weights, squat rack & step until April 26:( That's it! Everything will be pack up next week (Tuesday & Wednesday)!


I will try to get at least one week of Cathe's Dec '10 rotation in before we fly to the states :(

I will do STS Total Body today. Haven't done that one yet?

Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone!
 
STS Total Body is done! I did skipped the abs, worked them yesterday;) Will do them tomorrow

Have a wonderful day, everyone! Time to get busy!
 
Morning!

Belinda: Glad you had fun with your sisters yesterday. I bet it will be hard not to be able to see them as often? Nice job on the workouts. Did you like STS total body? I love that workout. Somehow, the intensity is really high on that one for me. I was going to do an insanity rotation with the new workouts also because I can take them on vacation and they are short, but I decided against it. It would be stupid to hurt myself before I go. So I'm getting plenty of insanity with wiser Cathe choices.

Deb: I can't believe you haven't met Trish yet. I thought for sure you knew each other. Well, there's always the RT this year. So excited to meet all of you. As for Tosca, I like her eating plan, but I have no problems modifying the ingredients or leaving out the stuff that is too weird (seriously, you have to be kidding me about the water recommendations!). My biggest gripe with her is she doesn't reuse ingredients/spices enough and you could end up filling your pantry with stuff you would use once a year. LOL.

Trish: Great that you are working out with your mom. Now watch what you eat (that a finger wagging at you; don't make me use two fingers!) Maybe if you post to all of us here what you eat everyday it will help keep you in line?

OK, off to do a little workout and then......work. It is what it is. Hoping to get some yoga in at lunchtime.
 
Morning Glories

Today is a much needed Rest day, even though im thinking about doing chalean push circuit 1 (my final week of the push phase yay)

Today is also my big meet up with Trish. After our meeting im going to come on and soak up the sun. One of my favorite past times:)

Trish-Don't forget your Camera girl! I've already got mine in my purse:D. LOL...there is no missing a thick southern draw and boy do I have one. Your probably going to be asking "what" a lot this morning:p;)

Helene-Glad you decided against the Asylum for now...have a great workout day girl and thanks again for the info. I will let you know if I decide to tough it out and do it!!!

Debbie-Good Morning! Whats your plans for today?

Hello to Everyone I missed...will pop back in later!!!
 
Good morning! Today I start M3 of STS. I can't believe I only have 1 month to go :eek::eek: I will also do abs even though they are kinda sore from yesterday's MMA workout :confused:

The guy I went out with texted me last night. He's like "I'm on my way to the Yankee game but I hope you had a great Sunday!" We talked for a little bit last night before and after the game. I know it's really early but still I have never been treated like this by a dude in my life. Usually it's the mind games and waiting a week before you hear boo. I'm glad I went with someone a little older this time ;)

Helene, lol, if things go well I will have Deb send this one through the ringer ;) He is actually Italian and German (same as me) and he is Lutheran like me too which was surprising because I only know one other person who is Lutheran. There aren't too many of us around. Awesome job on the WOs yesterday! So you got Asylum?? You are a brave girl! I still haven't done all of Insanity :eek: That is some hard stuff. Even the recovery killed me haha!

Deb, I think Trader Joe's has elk but I could be wrong. Could've sworn I saw it there was and I was gonna try it and just talked myself out of it. All you ladies going to Florida...I'm jealous!!!

Trish, my not sleeping probably did have something to do with the date. I felt like I was on speed haha. Have fun with Amelia today!! I can't believe the RT is only 3 months away. I can't wait to meet all of you ladies!

Belinda, glad you had a good time with the girls yesterday. I can't believe how fast moving day is coming! Are you excited????

Have a great day everyone!
 
Amelia, I guess we posted at the same time so I missed you haha! Have fun with Trish today! What are you ladies gonna do? Aaaah I can't wait til it's warm enough to soak up some sun. I think I heard one day will be 65 this week. It's not ideal but I will take it! How long is the Chalean rotation? I can't believe it's almost done already.
 
Hey Melissa- After this week I have one more phase to complete from the Chalean rotation. The Lean phase... then i will be done with chalean:eek:

bbl
 
Busy thread today :)

Melissa: he really does sound nice. I hope you can enjoy each other's company and take your time. Def sounds like you have a lot in common. I really like the insanity workouts but as add in. I'm too ADD to follow a rotation for three months that repeats DVDs. LOL. Good cathe has different ones for each workout with STS.

Amelia: have fun with Trish.

Deb: forgot to say earlier that it's the Bahamas, not FL. :)

4DS HIS cardio only done.
CTX tonight.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Hey girls, Had a great time with Trish. She is so warm and easy to talk too. And not to mention in fantastic shape! Here is a pic of us, we met at a local starbucks:D
003.jpg

There are too other pics that are with her two darling little girls, but my camera went dead while loading them. Trish, I will send those pics to you,k. I also met Trish's mother guys and she was very nice too!!!

Oh and this is embarrassing, but while we were chatting there was phone that kept going off and we would both checked our phones thinking it was ours. Well after about 5 times I reached in my purse and found my husbands phone in my purse:rolleyes: i got so excited about meeting Trish i grabbed his phone along mine:eek::p

Trish-Can you believe that we chatted for over an hour and a half? (is that right?) i got home at noon and couldn't believe it was lunch time? :p Had a blast girl....will have to do it again!!

ETA- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISH! I wish i would have known...i would have brought you a little something. Hugs...


ok...bbl
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISH!!!!!!!

Workout done! I did STS chest & back, Pilates abs, and Stretch Max w the band. I feel so relaxed right now. I know my chest is gonna have some serious DOMS though; I can feel it already :eek:

Helene, I am the same way with rotations; I get bored so easily. That's why I chose STS over P90X: at least STS isn't too repetitive. Great WOs today!

Amelia, great pic!! You girls look awesome! LOL @ the phone!
 
OMG LOOK AT THE BABES!

Thanks for sharing the picture Amelia!

Trish: for some reason I though you were really tall. I think it's from your avatar next to Cathe. ;)

Melissa: I need a serious vacation soon. My "ADD" is getting worst. I'm burned out. And i have two night meetings this week and two next week. Ugh, at least my back seems to be fine.

OK, back to work. So nice to be able to check in from my phone!

Howdy Ladies,

I just woke up from a nap...refreshed! I am hoping to get in a little travel fit with my mom later this evening. We went shopping today and picked up a slow cooker and a nice calphalon set. I'm trying to get my mom into more cooking. I guess since she lives alone she doesn't bother and eats a lot of frozen food. Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! It was a perfect day...got to meet Amelia, hang out with my mom and my girls and DH sent a really nice edible arrangement. And Amelia is awesome...the southern twang didn't dissapoint;)

Belinda - How did you like STS TB? I did that one on friday and had pretty nice DOMs going on;)

Helene - Ok, the finger wagging is definitely working! Much better eating happening today. I think I'll leave the food posting on mfp. Can't have too many fingers wagging at me at once:eek:. LOL!! Funny about the ADD and rotations...it was my same reaction to p90x...8 weeks and only 8 DVDs....REALLY?? Yup, I'm pretty avg on the height, but next to cathe I felt like a giant.

Amelia - You are just like I imagined...a kick ass southern belle! I can't believe we were chatting that long. It seemed like 30 minutes at the most! HA! Hope DH wasn't too upset about the phone, but it was kinda funny that you had both phones! LOL! I hope you come up to NYC one day. I think there is a way to upload pics from my phone directly to Cathe...will give it a go later tonight:D

Melissa - So glad you are enjoying the new dude. You're gonna have to give him a D letter for us to refer to him. Nice wo today. I am hoping to get in stretchmax after TF.

Deb, Cookie, Lori & Iris - Hope you are all having a great day!
 
Awww, shucks Trish! Thanks:D Travel fit after you busy day? Wow..you go girl. I hope you had an awesome birthday and what a sweet gift from your hubby:)
 
TF is done. Forgot that is no easy wo. I definitely had some huffing and puffing and burn going on. My mom sat out, but wants to try it in the morning. Not sure if I'm up for that!

Have a great night ladies.
 
Hi everyone,

I did the ellipitical at the gym today. Right now I am starving, I will need to sub here and there like Helene said there are some weird spices :)

Trish - Happy Birthday!!!!

Great picture of you and Amelia and you were at my favorite place:) I too thought you were taller. Hopefully you had a good dessert today;) I'm doing Tosca's stripped eating plan, did you like Recharged better?

Belinda - Wondering how long it will take for your Cathe stuff to get to the states? You will be going thru withdrawal:)

Amelia - Great picture of you and Trish. How exciting that you two met. Slowly but surely we will all meet someday:)

Helene - Bahamas that sounds like fun:) Happy to hear you back is better. Ugh, on having to work two nights but it's great knowing your vacation is so soon.

Melissa - My DH is italian & german too! It's funny because he has been opening the door for me lately and his Dad asked why:) needless to say he's the italian LOL.

Hi to Cookie, Iris, Kristin & Lori

Goodnight:)
 
Good evening,

Debbie - nice job on the elliptical wo today. I am taking ALL my Cathe DVDs with me.

Trish - nice job, iwth TF. Glad you enjoyed your b-day today. I really like STS TB. I thought it went by fast, felt rushed at some points. But other than that I liked it. I am feeling the DOMs already, lol.

Amelia - great pic of you and Trish. You guys look awesome! Glad you two got to meet. Do you and Trish live in the same area?

Melissa - so glad to enjoy the new guy. Nice job, on chest & back wo today. You almost done with STS, enjoy! I have mixed feelings leaving Germany, on the other side I am excited to see my kids again.

Helene - glad your back is doing better. Two nights of meetings doesn't sound like fun. Felt the same way with STS TB today. I may do Isanity while traveling? Haven't decited? Nice job on 4DS cardio today. Enjoy CTX tonight.

Good night, ladies!
