Good morning,

I am getting us started, will be back with personals & to report my workout!

Have a great Sunday, everyone!
 
Good morning,

Never got a workout in yesterday:confused: Ended up finsihing DH's office, it looks so nice now! Today I ended up doing Intnesity "3.Step + HiiT (Hi) + Boot Camp – 59.09 min" premix, I also did the abs from Body Fusion with the stability ball.

DH and I will go to the Chrismas market in Nabburg:phttp://newspaper.grafenwoehr.com/2010/11/25/christmas-market-at-guteneck-castle-near-nabburg/1679
Since this is my last Christmas in Germany I will go to as many Christmas markets in Germany as I can:D And no, they are not all the same. If we still have enough time will will hit the Christmas market in Amberg too!

Have a wonderful Sunday/rest & workout day! I will be back tonight!;)
 
Good Morning!

Up to get a workout in before work! Yippee!!! A time slot of ME and Im not in a hurry to get to work, never am on the weekends. I need to do legs but I think my SIL is joining me and I need to do UB with her. Maybe I will do legs after she leaves.

I have major DOMS in my abs from core max! Holy! I could feel it last night before I went to bed and while I was doing the workout yesterday it wasnt even hurting. Its one of those that sneaks up on ya! Love it! Hoping my new workouts will be here tomorrow.

Belinda** My question mark button doesnt work so.......how come this is your last christmas in Germany (question mark:D) Are you moving back to the states (question mark) LOL

O.k....gonna get moving!!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies

Today is the functional workout I dread every Sunday...lol. Also getting into laundry, and planning out my week. I tore the house up getting the Christmas Tree and decorations out yesterday. I'm convinced that it's not Love that 's a battlefield, it's Artificial Trees. :eek:
Was going to do it tonight, but didn't want the day to get away from me today, so I began last night, and it's a good thing...took me hours! Went to bed kinda late, but at least my house is cleaned, also cleaned the kitchen last night, stripped the bed, vacuumed, dusted....I was a busy girl for Saturday night. I think I'm the only single girl in history to make a habit out of staying home to do housework on a Saturday night. :confused: Maybe if I can all the work done I'm hoping to today, I can stop up to Helene's. ;)

So......I think I quit OTB..... :mad: I swear that place isn't worth another minute of my thoughts.

Belinda- Have a great time shopping today!!

Lori- I'll try and get on fb this afternoon for more than 2 minutes. ;) Yes, we are definitely on the same page of the same book!! LOL

Helene- That sounded like a hell of a workout! I think I'm going to ask Santa for a yoga mat for Christmas. :D

Kristin- Enjoy the aquarium today! I've never been to one. I'm sure if I ever have children someday, I'll go to fifty...hehe. Nice workout yesterday. ;)

Melissa- As a side note, I found out the hole and the dump are first cousins. :rolleyes:

Quiet board! Ok all....ttyl

 
Morning all!

I have some catching up to do on personnals. Let's see how long the kids stay calm (DH is still sleeping).

Belinda: Enjoy the markets. I am hoping to take fam to Germany some day. I saw so many beautiful things while I was there and you would be a good source of information :)

Iris: What do you mean the board is quiet? Seriously, it's still early on a Sunday morning and you don't have kids!!! For goodness' sake. You know we all want to know what happened at OTB now right? Xmas tree is up and so are the lights outside. :eek:

Cookie: Does your exchange student go home for xmas? How are you doing getting to the end of the year? Are you swamped with work?

Lori: Well I hope your day goes as well as you hope with work and all else. And I hope the *smart* refueller guy at work doesn't chat you up all day. Can't believe you scrubbed the place yesterday.

Kristin: Oooh, BM2 is a good one. I always loved the scrambled eggs premix. I haven't done it for a while, but I don't think my legs could take it. LOL. Making your own premixes is easy actually. You just need the files in digital form. If DH is getting you STS for Xmas, you might want to consider it. There are no premixes, so you wouldn't be missing out on anything except you can make your own like I did after. I guess it just depends on your setup for workouts.

Deb: So how did you like High Reps? I hope that you are enjoying a bit of downtime after black Friday before everything gets crazy again.

Trish: Hope you enjoyed your time off.

Melissa: The hole got your tongue? I hope you are doing OK.

Amelia: I hope you were able to have a nice weekend. How is your MIL doing?

Wow, my legs are more sore this morning than I would have thought. I felt fine yesterday after my workout but am def getting nice DOMS now. Today is an UB workout I made of mixed Strength and hypertrophy using discs 25 and 31. Should be fun too.

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning!
Belinda, Christmas markets! I'd love to be there with you.
Iris, you and Lori probably think you're motivating me to clean, but I'm still holding out. Well, at least not a major, deep clean. Luv your line about artificial trees as a battlefield.
Helene, that's some workout yesterday. I had doms from lower body blast and then again from hi reps. Don't you love them?
Lori, are you tired from all the workouts, between yours and your clients? How much snow do you have now?
Amelia, hope your mil is doing better. Did you mention you had the Peak 10 interval wo? Just wondering how it is.
Deb, what did you think of hi reps? I was humbled and had to go down low in weights.
Melissa, are you doing any beverage shows this weekend?
Kristin, I missed the info on the aquarium. What one are you going to? Our fav is the one in Baltimore; we often stop on the way to or back from OBX.
Leaving in a few to return youngest son to school. Did Maximum Intensity yesterday and my knees were reminding me of it just a couple of minutes ago when I went downstairs. Hoping to get sts full body in today. These new wo are tough.

Hey girls, im sorry I've been MIA lately...just no time for anything but work and sleep. I want to applogize for this post because im sooooooooooo venting!!! Im dragging my butt into the thread LITERALLY :confused: This past week has kicked my butt. Im SO SICK of seeing that warehouse guys, Seriously, we're treated like CRAP there:mad:. They're starting to monitor when we go to the bathroom in between breaks:eek: WTH? Im 32 years old, If i have to pee...im going to pee:p ;) and im sick of being stopped by managers on my way to the bathroom and being questioned about 'where are you going?':eek::eek: the last time it happened i just smiled, waited until they were finished, nodded then turned and walked away...im not a damn preschooler:mad: i don't have to be reminded about the 'rules' there. I feel like im in prison!

Yesterday i was lifting heavy boxes all day and was completely exhausted after 11 1/2 hours of doing a mans job when i was approached my an 'associate that officially works there' (not a temp) and was told i wasn't suppose to be in that area, and she said it with a tone while looking at my name badge:eek:! I looked her straight in the eye and said 'go talk to Greg, not me, he's MY manager and tells ME where i need to be ' then turned and continued on with my work. She left, thank goodness because i was about to snap on her @ss! Im NOT liking my job anymore guys. I see teenagers standing around talking while others are working...im guessing those same people won't be here that long. There is one more week of this overtime crap then they start laying off people and at this point i don't care if im one of them or not. :eek: I've thought about quitting but the money is coming in handy for christmas ...which i have yet to start shopping for:( just no time. :( Today is my first day off in 6 days then i go back tomorrow and work 11 1/2 hour days until next saturday...i don't know how im going to make it when I don't' want too....its a sh*t job!!!

Sigh...anyways. I haven't a clue whats been going around here lately. Im sure you guys have been enjoying the new workouts, high reps was great so im sure the others are fabulous too. I will be back to my normal workout routine/ checking-in-daily soon.

i will try and bbl.
 
Hi Girls...

Nice workout this a.m. I think my pasta dinner came in handy!! I had tons of energy. I forgot to tell you that DH cooked last night and it was some kind of pasta dish with bacon wrapped scallops! I could get use to that!!!:D I wasn't even allowed upstairs! I so enjoyed it b/c it was something different and I didn't have to make it!!

My workout was 35 mins on the TM, then 10 mins on the bike and B&G's minus the abs work.

Cookie** No snow here...we had a little bit but then it rained. We usually don't get snow until after christmas. We all like it at christmas time cause it puts us in the mood....but not after...LOL

Iris** Yes...when you get time, read my email! LOL You are a busy gal. Do you ever see/hear from DG anymore? I miss the D stories!!!!

Ameila** I say suck it up until the NY, once that rolls around tell them where to shove it. You can do it for that amount of time, knowing that there is a end in sight. It would be much worse thinking that this is what you have to do for a while. But I think you could ignore it for a month until you get through the holidays!

Helene** My house was nice and quiet today when I was checking in. I think my refueler even as trouble getting the words from his brain to his mouth...it takes forever for him to say what he needs to say!

Ok...I have to run out and get a few things! I will bb!

Lori:)
 
Hi girls,

I have Macy's 25% coupons for 12/1-12/6 good for name brands such as Fossil, Northface that they usually only discount 2x's a year. PM me your address if you would like one.

I really liked High Reps but was so frustrated with my choice of weights . . . couldn't get it right either too heavy or too light. Today, I'm going to do lower body blast. Hopefully my migraine will go away I have had them on and off the past 2 weeks:( I am cooking another turkey today, pot pie for tomorrow night & a 4 week supply of tomato sauce and I want to put up Christmas decorations send some energy my way :)

Belinda - I so want to go to that Christmas market . . . it looks so cool!!! Can your DH put in for more time in Germany or will you be in the states for good?

Lori - Usually when people clean like that it's right before TTOM or before they give birth:eek: I hope you enjoyed your ME time.

Iris - Hey keeping busy on Saturday night's is one way to keep out of trouble;) please send your energy my way. I agree with Helene must be a juicy OTB story on the way:p Email or PM me your address & I'll send you the coupon.

Helene - I'm enjoying the downtime but must start submitting my work today. That was some workout you designed the other day:) Hopefully Iris stopped by.

Cookie - Did everyone come home for the holidays? How did the exchange student like Thanksgiving?

Amelia - I feel for you, you work your butt off and then they give you a hard time:mad: Hang in there, everyone is probably crabby from lack of sleep . . . still no excuse to treat people that way!!! Just make your money and when the time is right RUN.

Kristin - Have fun at the aquarium today:)

Melissa & Trish - What are you girls up to?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend:)
 
Wow, are you ladies also getting fried by Cathe's new workouts? I had to rest before abs to finish sts tb! Maybe I'm feeling my age or something, but I thought I could manage these better.
Amelia, looked at your blog today. WTG! You look great in the photos - nice arm definition. Don't let those turkeys at work get to you - show them your bis. Isn't it amazing how a little bit of power makes some people thing they are the boss of all? Hope you can make it thru the next month.
Trish, when do you get back from your mom's?
Deb, I'd love a coupon. Did you get everything on your list done? That was quite a list. We had two sons come home for the holiday. The other two should make it for Christmas. My Irish daughter loved all the food, but not sweet potatoes. She can't believe that I love potatoes that are orange and sweet, and that my dh puts marshmallows on them. She has to go to the UK next week for her college interviews, but then she's here til summer.

Evening ladies!!

I need to get my butt in gear...waaaaaaaay too much eating this Thanksgiving and that's exactly what I told myself I wouldn't do! UGH!! At least I got my workouts in; today was STS Disc 21 & Cardio Circuit Blast cardio only premix plus 20 min of Just Dance 2 on the Wii. I am SO addicted to this game! They have a "Just Sweat" game where you set a goal for yourself. Mine is 1000 sweat points a day which comes out to an extra 150-200 calories burned. That has to help me lose some of this turkey/cheesecake flab before Christmas! :eek:

Iris, LOL @ the artificial trees! I totally agree. My parents love that I'm home now cuz I am a Christmas decorating fiend so I set up their tree and then all they have to do is help decorate (the fun part). I have off from the hole Friday so I'm planning on putting this tree together then. LMAO @ the hole and the dump being 1st cousins! I totally agree!! Why did you quit...wait, did you quit or you didn't quit? LOL! ;)

Belinda, are you moving back to the states? When I was working my liquor tasting Friday night, this guy was telling me the tasting events in Germany are crazy. Something about funneling Jaeger down people's throats and they had to ride bikes back because everyone was too drunk to drive? Haha! I said hey maybe I will study abroad in Germany ;)

Helene, LOL, nope the GOOD job and family got my tongue this weekend! Seriously, I think I need a vacation from being "off" for the past 5 days :) Great job on the DOMS! I still need to try the WO Blender. It sounds so cool! Only thing is I don't have any downloads :eek:

Cookie, yup I had a lot of tastings this weekend. It will be busy now through New Year's, then it'll die down until St Patty's Day. The best one I did this weekend was called Choco Vine which is Dutch Chocolate mixed with French Cab. It sounds nasty but it is SO good! I sold out of their stock haha! You are making me wish I had ordered the new workouts. Maybe I will put them on my Christmas list!

Lori, isn't CCC a toughie? That one really does sneak up on you! I die while I'm doing it and I die the day after...but it's a good hurt (like Cathe says haha) :p

Amelia, OH NO!! I am SO sorry you hate your job now!!!!!!! First off, GO YOU for telling that biotch off; who the F is she anyway?! And secondly really, they monitor when you go to the bathroom?!?!? Next time you should fill a bucket with water and throw it on the floor and when they ask what happened tell them you didn't have a scheduled BR break yet so you just peed on the floor to save a few seconds of precious work time. A-holes! Now we need a nickname for your job. {{HUGSSSS!!!}}

Deb, how are you feeling? Hope that migraine is gone!

Hi Kristin & Trish! Hope you ladies had a great holiday weekend! Now back to the grind...UGH!
 
Evening all. I just finished B & G the overall legs premix and I threw in the ab work at the end. My legs are shaking. We had a great day at the aquarium. We went with our friends and their daughter and little baby. The kids had a great time. Then we went out to a late lunch/early dinner and luckily, even though the service was a bit slow, our kids all behaved really well (can I get an amen!).

Tomorrow after work we are going to take Nikolas to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Very excited. We are leaving Chris with my parents b/c I think he is still too young to enjoy it or sit through it. I feel a little guilty leaving him behind, but next year we'll definitely take him too.

Amelia- I am sorry your workplace is like that. The bright side is if you do get laid off, you'll be happy about it ;). I think they'll probably keep you and let the slacker teenagers go though. Does anyone else think that many young teens today have a sense of entitlement that is mind-numbing to the rest of us who were taught you have to WORK for what you want in life?

Iris- Wow, you are a cleaning machine on a Saturday night! i hate to clean personally, and if I could afford to hire someone, I would, but I can't :(. however, I always feel good when the job is done and the place looks like new (until five minutes later when it looks like the house threw up toys again, lol). We get a live tree every year, which is fun to put up, but a biotch (to borrow Melissa's word) to take down. Pine needles everywhere! I always ahd a live one as a kid though, and I love them while they are up.

Helene- BM 2 had to be done, I felt, to counter all the tasty badness I have been devouring, lol. I need to get my willpower back for the next few weeks at least, lol.


Lori- your DH's meal sound good. Love it when the man cooks ;)

Deb- It is always hard for me to figure out what weight to use when I first do a new DVD with Cathe. It can be frustrating, but I'm sure in a few more tries you'll get it right ;)

Cookie- we went to the aquarium in Riverhead out east on the island. It is pretty amazing.

Melissa- I am right there with you on the need to get my eating in gear. My bro just got Kinnect (is that what ya call it?) for XBOX and it came with a just dance demo. We played it and it was pretty awesome. A cool game to be addicted to. The Kinnect is pretty amazing. he got a personal trainer on there. When we have more time he wants me to take some fitness test. I told him I'd blow him away.

Belinda- intensity seems so intense. You like the premixes on that one?

Trish- how are you?

good night all,
Kristin
 
Good evening,

DH and I had a lot of fun at the Christmas markets today. It was freezing cold outside and of course, those markets are all outside. Our 3 year tour is up next year:(

Cookie - I'd would love to have you there with me, that would be so much fun:D MI is a tough one, wtg! How did you like STS full body?

Kirstin - nicely done on B&G today. Did you had fun today?

Amelia - sorry about your work situation!

Debbie - I will pm you my address. I love a good sale!

Iris - nice job, on your workout today.

Melissa- ROFLMAO! Germans don't get drank on Jaeger Meister. Have you ever tried it? It's nasty! Americans started that! Germans only drink Jaeger when they have an upset stamage or they do a shot after a heavy meal. Nice mix of workouts today.

Lori - how did your workout go? Nice job, on your core DOMS! I need to get CM out!
　
　
Iris - hope you had fun with your worout today . I have an .Artificial Trees, lol! Enjoy your clean house, been doing a lot cleaning too these days.
　
Helene - nice job, on your leg workout. Hope you enjoyed your UB workout today.

Good night! BB in the morning:)
