Morning ladies,



I am starting W4 of my rotation. I will do LIC today again. I also need to get some abs in;)


What are your plans today?


I will be back and catch up on personals;) Have a wonderful workout and day.
 
Back with personals:

Thursday is my husbands hip surgery, I am so glad when it's over!! Please, keep him in your prayers!

Kirstin - glad you enjoy Debbie's rotation. Love her rotations! Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. No regrats here, too much going on this year. Just don't have time to go on a RT, with everything going on this year. Maybe next year??

Cookie - I am doing Cathe's Nov'11 LIS rotation. Oh boy, did we get a lot off rain. It snowed this morning. Glad to hear you starting to feel better. Still take it easy on your workouts today, ok! I am down to 1 box, lol. We put up curtins yesterday. Planted flowers fron/back of the house on Saturday. I am almost done, than I need a vacation!

Debbie - I hear you on! I have to lighten up too. I do like the low impact series. Glad I played around with them this month. Have fun with all that laundy.

Need to get moving. BBL!
　
 
Good evening,

it's quit around here today:confused:

I did Low Impact Challenge again today:D did I mentioned how much I love that one:eek::p I am sure, I did:p

Tomorrow I will do AT. Wednesday is a scheduled rest day, since DH surgery is on Thursday I will do Thursday's workout on Wednesday, hope I didn't confuse you all to much:eek: and take Thursday off!

Good night, everyone! See you all in the morning.
 
Hi everyone, hi Belinda! It was hard getting up this morning. . . I always feel like sleeping in when it is raining. It rained all day yesterday and practically all day today, but I won't complain. We need the rain here on the island. We had some brush fires out east last week, so it is all good. This week is the math assessment, but I am happy to say I do not have to proctor. My AP pulled me aside and told me he hooked me up to be just "relief" so I will have plenty of time to grade the essays that are due on Wednesday, lol.

I did ME tonight. The rotation called for MM, but I hadn't done ME in a long time, and I wanted to do it. I have missed this workout. I already feel the DOMs setting in, lol.

Belinda- LICH is great. I had a hard time learning the last combo for a bit, but I finally mastered it. I love how fast it goes and how all the combos come together are the end, plus the little leg blast at the end.


Deb- Welcome home. Hope everything was wonderful. I am counting down the days until we go to Florida, lol. The boys are getting excited too.

Anyway. . . hope all is well.

Kristin
 
'Evening!
Belinda, I've got your dh in my prayers; of course, you are too! What is his expected recovery looking like? The choreography in lich confused me a bit, but then it just clicked. One box! That's nothing. Hope your flowers did okay with the snow.
Kristen, I'm sure you are so relieved. My wrists struggle with the tricep dips on ME. Do yours?
Deb, glad you made it back alright. Highly recommend Moneyball. Thought it was really good. I don't really follow baseball, yet was still interested in the movie.
Did CSS and ME ub this morning. Now I can't wait to get to sleep. Worked me good.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I only had time for B&G floorwork but it was fun. I needed coverage on 2 stores when I was away & wouldn't you know it one of the stores the girl didn't even put any new stock out just cleaned up old stuff:rolleyes: no point in her even covering (this is the girl I cover for in NYC).

Belinda - My prayers are with you & your husband. I'm sure you'll be pacing the floor on Thursday so that can be your workout;)

Kristin - That's great that your relief for the tests, less stress for you. You are going to have so much fun in Florida, miss it already.

Cookie - We are a baseball family so will have to rent that one, thanks for the review. Was wondering if you had snow today?

Goodnight:)
 
Hey gang,

Thanks Debbie, Cookie and Kistin - for the prayers:D You guys are the best!


Workout is done! Getting ready to walk the dogs, it's windy...but the sun is out;)



Off to walk the dogs. BBL to catch up on personals!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, bet it was windy today. We had a big hail storm. Seemed to just come out of nowhere. So what was today's workout.
Kristen, what books do your students read? I was chatting today about some fav ya books. One of mine is Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
Deb, oh if you are a baseball fan, you will definitely like Moneyball, plus Brad Pitt stars. Think I recall you saying you were Yankee fans - is that right? How aggravating to have someone fill in and not do the quality of work you provided to them. I think one of my favorite traits in folks is after honesty, is a good work ethic.
Did imax 2. Once I got into it, it was so much fun and felt good. Need new sneakers.
Cookie
 
Evening all. Today was a long day. We had a baseball game and it was cold!!! He sun was shining, but it was very windy and I think that is why it was so cold. The kind of cold where your back starts to ache from being hunched over in your little folding chair watching a little league game, lol. DS did great though, two singles and a double. He had fun. After the boys were in bed I did Cardio and Weights. It was supposed to be HST, but I don't have that one and I wanted to do something that was an hour or less. This rotation is awesome, but she has a circuit workout the day after a full body weight workout and so when I do the circuit, I really feel tight in every muscle. I guess that means it is working, huh?

Cookie- right now we are reading The Cay as a class. We don't have Roll of Thunder, but our textbook has Song of the Trees, which is one the students enjoy. Right now it is all about The Hunger Games. . .everyone is reading that series for their independent reading. It is on my reading list for the summer (I read the first one, but not the other two in the series). Vampire books are popular with them too now. Of course, Twilight, but then there are other vampire books, which I honestly don't get. I have never been into the whole "vampire thing" even when Anne Rice came out with her Interview with a Vampire.

Belinda- I guess you had the same windy conditions today. It really put a chill in me. Burr.

Deb- Did you go to Sea World by chance? I am on the fence about going there. We didn't go last year. The ticket prices seem high for what they have. Just hoping you might be able to give me some feedback if you had gone there.

Okay, I am sooooo beat. Gotta get to bed.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I took a spin class this morning. I've been running behind schedule today, even here:)

Belinda - Good job with your workout today.

Cookie - It seemed like everybody was reading the "Hunger Games" on vacation. Do you know anything about the series? Yes we are Yankee fans.

Kristin - I haven't been to Sea World in awhile. What I would say about it is they have a few rides but for the most part it is shows. If you & your family aren't into shows, I wouldn't waste the money. I remember going there when we wanted to rest:D Sounds like your DS is doing well.

Goodnight:)
 
Hey girls,



Just a quick check: Did Trisets LB today. Tomorrow I will take a rest day tomorrow (today was a scheduled rest day, did tomorrows's workout today;))

I will try to be back tomorrow night, after my husbands surgery! Thanks again for all the prayers! I am not looking forward to tomorrow:(


I promise I will catch up on this weekend. good job on your workouts everyone!
 
Evening all. Just finished Step Blast (premix combos 1,2, 3). I feel so silly. the rotation called for SJP step only premix, but I couldn't find it because I was looking under the premixes for step blast :rolleyes:. Anyway, I got a workout in, lol. I added on SJP abs at the end.

Looking forward to the weekend. We don't have much planned, but I just feel so rushed during the work week these days, that doing nothing seems so fabulous.

Deb- thanks for the info on Sea World. The tickets are about $80 a piece :eek:. Sometimes the resort has special discounts. I will wait and see.

Belinda- nice workout today. Good luck tomorrow. I am praying for a speedy recovery.

Okay, I am beat. I am hoping to catch Veep, a new series on HBO with "Elaine" from Seinfeld. I am hoping it is on demand.

Kristin
 
Hi,

I did tri's & bi's today. I am getting stores ready for Mother's Day, this year they are starting early, even though most men shop the day before:D

Belinda - Good luck to your DH & you tomorrow, my thoughts will be with you.

Kristin - Wow, the pricing for parks is getting insane. Over the weekend I will check out the Sea World site & see what sticks out in my mind. It's funny when we were in FL I kept seeing brochures for Sea World & thought about looking at it. Weird but no brochures for Disney but I guess they don't have to advertise.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening!
Hope you are all having pleasant dreams!
Belinda, I'll be thinking of you and your dh tomorrow. Please let us know how things are.
Kristen, wow, prices are high! I remember taking mine to the one in California years ago, and I really liked it. The Cay! Another good book. Life is too short to waste on those that aren't so good. You must be day or two ahead of me on the rotation.
Deb, I thought you were Yankee folks! My son is and my grandfather was. My sister! You cannot call, text, or speak in person with her during a game - no interruptions. Haven't read or seen The Hunger Games. I really don't like to read or see violence. Didn't you know I was a sensitive gal?
Getting tired - wanted to finish some paperwork and then realized how late it got.
Cookie
 
Hello all. Belinda, I hope DH is doing well.

Today's workout was supposed to be yoga max, but I wanted to work my legs more and so I did B & G glutes and abs premix. Tomorrow is my rest day, so I felt I needed more of a calorie burn too.

One more day of stupid testing. . . then we have a month to go before finals. Unbelievable. . . the year is flying. Not that I am complaining. I am looking forward to Florida and Disney!

Cookie- are you doing FF's rotation too? I am happy I chose to finish the year with The Cay. The students are really into it. After all the test prep, it is nice to have them interested in what we are doing again.

Deb- the prices are crazy for the parks, but if I can get a good discount through the resort, I may be interested in going.

Okay, I am off to relax and then bed.

Good night all!
 
Hi,

I did part of Turbo Barre tonight. I'm going out with my SIL's tomorrow night so I need to work out in the AM :)

Belinda - I hope all is well with you & DH. How soon does he come home or was it outpatient?

Cookie - Too funny about you sister, she probably doesn't like going to a live game because there are too many distractions. I'm with you if there's too much violence in "Hunger Games" I don't want to read it.

Kristin - If you can get discounts from the hotel that would be great. I know that some of the parks take AAA card for a discount. When we rented a car in FL, they gave me a good discount with Costco card usually I get the AAA discount.

Goodnight:)
 
Just a quick update on DH! Surgery went well. His surgery was pumped to around 5:30 pm last night (was scheduled for 2:30pm:confused:). He was in the recovery room until 10:45 pm. Aleisa and I didn't get home until after midnight, drive was amost 2 hours ...the traffic was great:confused: I will keep you all updated.

Thanks for all your prayers! I am so thankful that everything went well.I will catch up on my workouts on Sunday, doesn't look like I will get anything in today or tomorrow?
 
Sorry no Internet last night!
Belinda, wondering how you, dh and Alexia were doing? The wait and then the long drive home - ugghhhhh. Take care of yourself also.
Kristen, last day of math. It is crazy - kids are shutting down left and right.
Deb, enjoy this evening. Sounds like fun. Have a margarita for me.
Cookie
 
'Morning!
Belinda, thinking of you and your family. Hope DH is doing well, and so are you.
Kristen, thought of you this morning when I was catching up on yesterday's NYTimes. SeaWorld is opening a new attraction with turtles, and the new pirate movie had great reviews, even if it doesn't have Johnny Depp.
Deb, I'm looking at Physique57 - what do you think of it? I'm so disappointed with this cold snap. I'm tired of shoes, boots, and coats. It must have been hard coming back from the warmer Florida weather.
Today is Terminator! I've missed doing it, and then yoga, plus yardmax.
Cookie
 
Hi everyone. Yesterday was my rest day (from working out, not from life, lol). It was jam-packed with activity. It was the last day of the math assessments, thank goodness. I had to run to the bank after work then pick up the boys and get ready for baseball. They played five innings in the freezing cold. We got Friday's take out for dinner and then everyone passed out. Today we had to go to a birthday party, one of DS's friends from school. When we got home, both of my boys conked out and I did my workout. . . drill max. I am in the final week of FF's rotation. I weighed myself this morning and I lost another 1.5 pounds. 1 more pound to go. . . this rotation really did the trick, lol. I think upping the cardio and doing more circuits helped a lot. I've been eating clean during the work week, but not so much on the weekends. I am very happy with the results. Now the trick will be to keep it off for bathing suit season, lol.

Cookie- I really think my boys would like Sea World. I just think the tickets are a bit too much. I am looking for discounts online though. My DS doesn't want to see the pirate movie. . . he is counting down the days to the The Avengers. He loves Iron Man and Captain America. I let him see Thor, but I was not crazy about the demon-looking frozen people. Anyway. . . he is excited for that, and so am I. I love Robert Downey Jr.

Belinda- hope DH is recovering and doing well. I've been thinking about you guys.

Deb- any plans for the weekend? Costco discount? Have to look into that. We are planning on renting a car.

Okay, be back later.
