Cathlete
Hallo and good morning,

Today is a cardio day plus abs:D I am not sure, if I get it in today? I feel very light headed this morning:eek: I hope I don't have vertigo again:eek: I wll drink lots of water and see how I feel until this afternoon.

Have a wonderful workout and weekend! I will be back later!
 
Good Morning!:)

I can check in the next two mornings. I don't have anyone to train:D Its nice to have a break every now and then. Did I tell you guys that I am giving up four shifts a month at my current job? I am kinda looking forward to it! I will have two days off every 2 weeks. I think its probably the break I need from that place. Should be quiet at work today so I can get some reading done.

I am up to do my workout but I am unsure of what I am doing. The only thing I can figure is a good cardio and abs workout. I did UB twice this week and LB once but my legs are still a little sore from Thurs workout.

Belinda** Hope your not getting sick again either! That's that last thing you need! LBB is a really good workout...you should try it soon. I still need to buy STS FB and High Intensity.

Melissa** So when did you leave your job? I haven't been around enough to keep up on everything. Its nice when they ask you to come back doesn't it? LOL Glad to hear you have no intentions of going back. I was afraid my hours were going to be changing at work but he is keeping them the same. I think he was nervous to talk to me about it b/c he knew it wasn't going to be a good conversation. We are thinking about going to Cuba (or somewhere) in April month. Its been about 7 yrs since we have been there. We are due from some relaxation with no kids but its gonna be hard to leave them in the meantime.

Deb** Hope you had a good night sleep. I went to bed with DS at 9:46 and up at 6:35...I feel good!

O.k...I will be around all day. I love working weekends cause there is no one around!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies

Today is a rest day for me. I have Boot Camp at 9, and then a consult, and a machine orientation for an entire family, then down to my parents to do laundry!! Hopefully stop to the market at some point today. Ugh. Every day is jam packed I feel...lol. I even worked overtime yesterday! And usually Friday's are my early day. :confused: BUT it's all good. DC is out of town for all of February, and let me tell ya, this month can't go SLOW enough! :eek:

Belinda- I hope your dizziness goes away!! Take it easy!

Helene- What are your plans this weekend? I got cut another fruit. :confused:

Lori- That's awesome about not having to work 4 shifts a month! I do remember you saying that, and that you gave the new girl Monday's instead of your weekend. How's the studying coming??

Melissa- Omg too funny about the hole!! LOL I remember getting that call from the dump, and ended up going back on Friday's. How much snow are you expecting today?

Deb- (((Hugs))) I hope the weekend is much much better for you.

Hi to Cookie, Kristin, Amelia, and Trish!!! BBL
 
Morning!
Drinking a cup of coffee and waiting for one of the dogs to come back in before I go sweat.
Belinda, hope you're feeling better today. Do you think it is sinus related?
Iris, how's your sleep? I bet you're exhausted from all you are doing.
Helene, any sledding on the plans for today? So far the Feb is taking a lot of time, or so it seems to me. I've had to start earlier than usual in the mornings to get it in and there is no time after work to do anything. Thoughts yesterday's bbw would give doms, but I'm ok. The next few months are my worst at work, but I want to do this rot for me, so guess I'll make due with a little less sleep.
Deb, I'm near the VT border, more cows and trees than people up here. However, farmers are really struggling so I may have to change that descriptor soon. Think my dh tried the buffalo meat, he claims he did but I don't know when; not sure if my kids would ever try it. I'm not crazy about venizon, but maybe I'll look for them as burgers and see what they say when eating them.
Melissa, isn't it great to be able to say no? The last laugh! Helene's countdown calendar may help to keep you motivated and on track for Mem Day.
Trish, come out, come out, whereever you are.
Kristin, read your success story again this morning to get motivated. Thanks, it did the trick again. You rock!
Amelia, how are the doggies doing? Are you recovering from this nasty winter weather? Is it making you want to move north?
Okay, plyo legs on the agenda, then hair appt, shopping, etc. And hopefully no snow since I want to get my hair done.
Cookie
 
Morning,

Belinda: Should have read all your posts yesterday. Might have given me the kick in the butt I needed to workout. It's all good though, I was able to focus on my eats. I think I'm going to start STS this weekend. I really hope you are not getting that vertigo again. If you go to the gym, can DH go with you?

Iris: OMG. Do you even know how in awe of you I am. I don't know how you do it. I am crying for you. Can't believe they cut another fruit. Maybe I'll gift you a fruit platter when this is done! :eek:

Melissa: You made my day too. They called! How funny is that?! ROFLMAO. Oh sweet revenge. OK, after what you said, I am def not going to try and finish the Jan rotation. I am just going to start STS. I kind of had a rest week before starting this way. I think it's perfect. Dang, it looked so good on paper, who knew it would kick that much butt :eek: ?

Lori: Sounds like your schedule is going to be a lot more pleasant with just a little bit more breathing room. Happy studying. Did you ever do anything about people canceling on you?

Deb: I hope that you feel nice and refreshed this morning!

OK, got to get a move on. Saturdays are always so busy! I think we are going roller skating after swim lessons.

Helene
 
Hey girls, still got a cold but thanks to my nasal wash and some antibiotics I found I'm feeling a little better today. ;) I think I will attempt a workout...maybe. Its seems to be worse at night.

I bought ChaLean Extreme Yesterday:eek:!! I got it at a discount because i bought it through a beachbody coach so it wasn't full price (yay). Anyways, i should have it by next weekend, can't wait to start that!:)

I plan on taking the kids out to lunch later so we can get out of the house, the weather hasn't been pretty here. Raining and cold. No snow, thank goodness.

anyways.... hello to everyone

Have a great day, if I decided to do a workout I will do 4ds HIS then chest & back:) or maybe just the cardio:eek: will see....
Later Gators.
 
Morning all. I never worked out yesterday, I was so exhausted. I think I am giving new meaning to rest week, lol. I only did two workouts this week. Ont eh agenda for today is Intensity. I have only done the step and lo premix. today I want to do the whole workout, plus ab work from ab circuits. We shall see.

Melissa- the hole asked you to come back?. . . lol. Sweet victory, lol. :eek::p;):D

Belinda- Sending good vibes your way. Hope you are feeling better.

Lori- vaca without kids. . . I am jealous! We are hoping ot go to Florida in April, but with the kids. they are driving me nuts lately. I think because we are all cooped up in this tiny house. Cannot go anywhere with this weather and another winter storm is supposed to come today with snow, sleet and rain, ugh!!!!

Cookie- lol, thanks. I think I am most proud of the fact that I did not gain the weight back, you know? What keeps me motivated now is pushing myself further (like with STS) to stay healthy and strong. I see my mom, taking 12 different meds for hypertension, diabetes, etc. That will never be me! I won't allow it and you guys here on this forum with Cathe keep me motivated every day! So thank you! :D

Iris- I don't know how you and Lori do it. I was so exhausted yesterday and you both have such jam packed days, lol.

Helene- seeing Melissa's post made me have a good, evil laugh too, lol.

Amelia- enjoy your outing with the kids. We are home bound again today :(.

Okay, so tomorrow I am going to Dick's sporting goods to get more plates. I refuse to buy more DB, but my 70 and 80 % 1RM for squats and other leg work is over 30 #, which is the highest I have. So I have two short BB "Sticks" as I call them to make adjustable DBs, but the plates are thick and so awkward to hold. I am going to buy thin plates and buy enough to go from 35 to 40#. LOL. Who knew when I started working out with Cathe in 2008 that I would be buying plates to do heavy squats like this, lol? :D:D:DI love it!

Kristin
 
Hello again,

Amelia: Yeah, on the purchase. That is awesome! So exciting to get new workouts.

Kristin: Couldn't have said it better than what you said to Cookie. I feel the same. Nobody around here is into the workout stuff. Well except for Iris of course :D but I meant here through this forum.

OK, so I guess off I go with STS. I just finished with disc1. All good :D

Hi to everyone that comes after. Have a great time.

Helene
 
HI Girls,

I am left alone at work...its like being in heaven!

Today's workout was HR's abs, 4 miles on the TM and 4 seg of DM. I did 3.5 miles on the TM before I even started DM, I just wanted to throw something in other then a straight run.

Kristin** I can't say my kids have been driving me nuts lately. DD as been on her best behavior and her grades have been awesome. She always did do good in school but she has been doing extrememly well lately. She is away for a vball tournament this weekend and so far they have won every game. I hope they keep up their winning strick! And of course DS has his days...who knows what he is gonna do in the run of a day! LOL Either way...a vacay with just the two of us is what we need. I am sure I will miss them terribly but we will all survive.

Helene** Oh..those people! First thing I did Monday morning was email one of them and ask them what there intentions were this week. I am not sure how it came across but hey..she cancelled on my twice last week. That's when they both decided to bow out gracefully. One girl couldn't commit b/c her DH worked away and she as two kids and the other lady claimed that she injuried her back while shoveling. So that's that. I am willing to bet that if I didn't ask them they would have strung me along this week again. Some people just don't stick with it.

Cookie** Sounds like you have an awesome day planned!!!

Ameila** Gotta love those new purchases! I still need to buy a couple of the newer cathe workouts. How is the job hunting coming along?

Iris** My days are always jam packed. I am hoping to get a little more down time now that I will be giving up some shifts but I will also be losing 24 hours pay. I make up that up with the PT but I am sure I will notice it the first couple of times I get my cheque!

Alright...I should sit back and do some reading while this place is still quiet!

Lori:)
 
Ok, Step Moves done. My head hurt the entire time but I got it in. I needed to do some damage control :eek:

Job hunting going good, i guess? I think I filled out every job application know to man with-in a 30mile radius of my house and no calls yet:confused: Im getting ready to send out a LARGE amount of resume's, this time not just doctors offices, there going to Dentist offices, chiropractors, all the specialist in the area and any office that may use a receptionist. Its time to get me job;)

Hello to everybody. Im sorry, i will try and do some personals later today. Time to go out for some lunch...i also need to run by the store for a new mop since mine broke yesterday...:confused:

Hi,

Considering I only had 3 hours sleep last night, I felt strong during my workout, go figure. I'm about to take a nap:) I did STS total body today.

Belinda - I hope it isn't vertigo, what do you do for that?

Lori - So what page are you up to? Looks like you back to your long workouts:)

Iris - Don't you consider you bootcamp class a workout and not a rest day:confused:

Cookie - Sounds like you have a busy/fun day?

Amelia - Did you break the mop from the strength you are getting from Cathe workouts;)

Helene - Sometimes we need to take a break from workouts and focus on eats:) So you maybe doing STS again.

Kristin - Intensity should make up for missed workouts. I love going to the sporting goods store . . . have fun.

Melissa - I am wondering if the biotch had HR call you, guessing she would never make that call, priceless!

Trish - Are you hiding under a mound of snow.

Have a great day:)
 
Hello all. Intensity is done, in full1 I am still breathing, lol. I also did Med Ball abs.

helene- It is so true. In my personal life I have one friend who is into working out. She is the one who talked me into eating clean for better results. Other than that, it is all you guys. That is why I am hoping most of go to the NJ RT. i would love to meet you all in person and spend a weekend working out and getting to know each other face to face.

Lori- Don't get me wrong, I love them to death and they are not bad kids, but being inside all the time is driving us all a little crazy. My house is a measly 900 sq. ft. Cannot even play in the backyard or take them to the park because it is so cold and covered in ice. When we have mid winter recess, I am definitely planning on taking them out to the children's museum and to this indoor playground by us. I am saving the dough for it now, lol.


Amelia- nice job on pushing through SM. If my mop broke, I would use that as an excuse not to mop b/c I hate mopping, lol. JK. (I do hate mopping though)

Deb- Nice job on STS TB, especially on 3 hours of sleep :eek:.

Have a great Sat. night everyone!
Kristin
 
Good evening,

I ended up taking a rest day today. Didn't wanted to make things worst:confused:

Lori - that's a nice break you getting the next 2 weeks! I hope whatever this is, will go away soon. Nice workouts as always today.

Iris - enjoy BC + your rest day today! I took it easy all day, thanks!

Cookie - all my problems are sinus related! :confused:Have a sinus infection again, arrr! Didn't had one in awhile. How was your plyo leg workout today? Have fun today, girl!

Helene - LOL! I also need a kick in the butt once in ahile, lol! That's great you are starting STS today, wtg on D1 today. A lot of push ups, hah? ! I am having so much fun! I hope I don't have vertigo either.

Amelia - yeah, on the new DVD''s! Can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks Kirstin! Isn't Itensity fun? WTG!

Debbie - did you get a nap in today? I hope so! How do you like STS TB? I do have meds for vertigo.

Where is Trish?

Good night, ladies!
