Morning ladies,

Plan for today is : Kickboxing and abs:D

I will be back with personals. Have a great workout and day!
 
Hey girls! How was everyone's Halloween? I had to work but I sold quite a bit and the store I worked at was awesome. Tonight we are going to a Halloween party. My roommate and I are being dolls; I'm gonna be a creepy one and she is gonna be the cute innocent one haha. We made wind up keys for our backs that actually wind!! We thought it would be funny if we started dancing and then just slumped over and someone has to come wind us up. I hope we can pull the costume off lol. I'm planning on p90x legs and back and some abs later.

I got my grade for the midterm and it was a B. I'm not thrilled but not too upset either. My prof keeps telling me test grades don't make a good therapist and lots of the best PTs didn't do well on tests esp mult choice, but they are great in the clinic. I just have to keep reminding myself that. Ugh grad school is sooooo much different than undergrad (obviously lol)!

Kristin, I know right? No one is gonna want to go into teaching with the way things are. I'm glad your lesson went well though! Holidays at home are always nice. You don't have to worry about going anywhere and it's so cozy! I'm sure your smart board lesson will be great! I hate public speaking too :eek:

Deb, wow that is a really short wedding! I'm sorry to hear about your in laws. That's so sad. LOL I am def an enabler! Let me know if you decide to try natures box. I am seriously in love with their stuff.

Cookie, sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead! Have a great time at the party tonight and your moms bday Sunday!

Belinda, I thought about working out 7 days a week and that idea lasted a week lol. Good luck with the new rotation!

Waving hello to Amelia!
 
Good afternoon,

10 Pound Slim Down Kickboxing and abs are done!

Cookie - have fun at the party and your mom's bday on Sunday. Happy Birthday to your mom. I found a good organic dog food at Petco yesterday.It was kinda expensive! Oh well!

Debbie - sorry about your inlays, so sad:( What ever happen to the wallets? Did you get them clean?

Melissa - have fun tonight! Looks like you doing great not working out 7 day's a week! Congrats on your weight loss, girl.

Amelia - I wore my HR monitor during 10 Pound Slim Down Kickboxing, I burned 638 cal. Your cal burn the other day was correct;)

Kirstin - what are your plans today?

I have to go back and read yesterday's posts. BBL!
 
Workout done! I decided on leaner legs instead of p90x. I started p90x and just couldn't get into it.
 
Hi,

It's that time of year again, heard a few Christmas songs mixed in & they were sad ones too:rolleyes: I think they should just play the fun ones to start. I didn't squeeze in a workout we are going out tonight for our Anniversary.

Belinda - It seems like the stores are already cleaning the wallets before I arrive only needed to clean one stores wallets so far. I like the sound of the workout you did today:)

Melissa - I like your choice of costumes sounds awesome, like the added touch of the key in the back. Have fun!! Congrats on the grade too!

Cookie - Have fun at your BILs party. What a milestone for your Mom "80" is the brunch still on? The girl sewed tu-tu's together to make a loofah.

Kristin & Amelia - What were the kids for Halloween?

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys. Sorry I fell off the radar again. Yesterday there was no workout to report. I did a lot of walking though, lol. I also ate a ton of candy. That is why I kicked off November with Afterburn. I made up my own rotation using XTRAIN, LIS and TTM and CF. I am hoping to keep the pounds at bay as I begin to indulge, lol.

Anyway, Halloween was a lot of fun. We went trick or treating with friends and the kids had a blast. Took Baxter too. He did not like the boys going up to strangers' houses without him though. He is very protective of them.

I am beat. I am going to catch up on personals tomorrow.

BB later.

Kristin
 
Morning girls, sorry to be MIA for a few days - its been a little crazy around here with the holiday.

No workouts for the last three days but I plan on getting back on track this afternoon with something. Maybe a walk but I would like to get in something more intense since my eating hasn't been great.

Here's a pic of the kids and my little niece on Thursday. My daughter didn't want to dress up at first but decided to go as a zombie the last minute. My son is the skeleton thing on the right and my niece is the fairy in the middle :)

I'm off the next two days and sooo looking forward to it. I will caught up with every one then :)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, omg! It is November already! I posted yesterday on the October thread. Guess I am r-e-a-lll-llll-yyyy slow these days. Are your dogs eating the organic food. We've noticed ours don't eat as much of the healthier food. I proposed that it is more healthy and fulling, but my husband is convinced the dogs prefer the junky fillers in the grocery store brands. Be careful with your workouts.
Amelia, your darlings are growing up fast. Thanks the sharing the photo! I get to live vicariously thru you ladies with younger ones. Who did your dd's makeup?
Kristin, This is week is the least amount of steps I've ever had! My poor fitbit probably thinks I'm injured or something. Growing up we had a dog who was very protective of us also. Once I went to visit a friend and went in her front door. When leaving, I left thru the back door and went a different route home. Our dog spent the evening on her porch until I had to go back and claim her.
Melissa, glad you had some time to relax. It is hard to get that time. Between school and work, you have a lot going on.
Deb, I saw Christmas displays at Rite Aid yesterday! It's crazy. Of course, it was compounded by temperatures here in the high 60s-low 70s. It was 30 degrees warmer yesterday than the day before. How do they clean the wallets?
Had fun at my bil's party last evening. We couldn't stay too long b/c we had to leave to pick up dd but it was long enough. Sometimes, an hour-1.5 is just right. I think my youngest son is coming in today for my mother's tomorrow. Of course, he hasn't told us what time he'll need to be picked up. Have to look over the Oct and Nov rotations and decide which one to do. I do so much better when I have a rotation all set to go. My problem is just deciding on which one. Cookie
 
Good morning,

I will do 10 Pounds Xtreme Upper Body = 40 min + Recover Lower Body = 20 min.

Cookie - we posted at the same time, lol! My dogs love the organic dog food. This dog food has over 70% meat protein. There is also another dog food from Canada, with is very good. Lots of protein. No byproduct, corn, corn meal and so on.Most dog food have lots of fillers?

Debbie - hope you had a fun last night. How many years are you married? I am going on our 30th in Dec:eek: Glad to hear everything worked out with the wallets. What? They playing xmas songs already:rolleyes: That's early! Seems like every year they starting earlier and earlier:rolleyes: Have fun with your son and mom tomorrow. All those rotations sounds great, have fun picking one.

Melissa - how are your legs feeling today after Meaner Legs:D Nice one!

Kirstin - great one to start November! Fantastic job with AB!

Amelia - have fun with that walk today. I also will go for a walk. It's sunny outside. Great pic:D



I will be back after my workouts. Have a wonderful Saturday.

OMG! I forgot what Intensity is like! I chose the November rotation. Wow! What a cardio workout. I modified including doing some on the rebounder, but still think I attoned for any sins of eating/drinking I may ever have committed.

ood afternoon,

10 Pounds Slim Down Xtreme Upper Body = 40 min + Recovery Lower Body = 20 min done. I also took the dogs for a nice long walk before my workouts.
Need to get some shopping done.

Cookie - Intensity is my favorite! Good for you modifying when needed;) I am getting good at modifying all my workouts and still get a great workout in.

Off to get ready. Have a wonderful weekend.
 
I lost my post! :mad::mad::mad:

So I did Tabatacise premix 3 today. I haven't done this one in a few weeks I think. I am always intimidated by it and I always feel as if I'm on the vege of dying while I am doing it, lol. Glad I got it done though. I put it in my rotation a few times. I am hoping to work my way up to premix 4. I don't know if I'll ever be ready for all 5!

I also walked Baxter once today. I am taking him out again later.

I have to get my presentation ready for Conference Day on Tuesday. I am a bit nervous. The good news is we get out at 1.

Belinda- and Cookie- I give Baxter Nutro dog food for puppies. It has a a lot of protein and antioxidants. My dog trainer told me to avoid supermarket dog food. She said most is not of any quality. We get it at Petco. Boxers can have health problems later, so I am listening to her.

Melissa- your costume sounds awesome! Did it work with the wind up in the back? So cool. Be happy with that B!

Deb- and here it starts. Pushing Christmas before Thanksgiving. It gets me so mad. I am looking forward to the holidays though. I have two weeks off for Christmas this year. It only happens once every 7 years, lol. I need the longer break this year too.

Amelia- I'm back in the game with you! Great pic!

Okay, off to shower and get to work!

Kristin
 
'Morning!
Belinda, thanks for the info on the dog food. I'll have to check it out. I have no idea why but I thought intensity was like CrossFire and Afterburn and had weights. It felt so good but, by the end, my face resembled a beet. Does Alexia do a lot of traveling for her job?
Melissa, sorry I meant to compliment you on your costume. What a fantastic idea. How did you ever think of it?
Amelia, you are so good at getting in your workouts. Your commitment is inspiring me.
Kristin, you sure are getting in a lot of walking these days! Are you all set for your presentation?
Deb, hope you and your dh had a great celebration. How are your boys doing?
Off to the basement for clb. Later this morning is my mom's celebration. Hopefully, everything goes well.

Good Morning Ladies,

Never got in my walk yesterday, after work I cleaned up my bathroom washed two loads of laundry and folded three. After being on my feet all day I just wasn't in the mood for a walk :( Besides, yesterday was an emotionally exhausting day for me. Work was busy with PITA customers and DH and I had an argument when he got home. Of course it was over money or lack there of. Our checking account is overdrawn somehow:(? I hate paying overdraft fee's more than anything :mad:. After looking through our bank statement we saw an unexpected automatic bill that came out of our checking account that messed us up. UGH!! (sorry if this is TMI, I just need to vent)

We later talked about being more tight with our spending and to start putting back some $ for situations like this. But with the cost of gas and food im not sure how we're going to do that?

Its all too much to get into at 9:30 in the morning.:eek:

Melissa-do you have a pic of your costume? I bet yall looked awesome! Congrats on your test grade, a B is fabulous girl! Great job on your workouts your doing awesome.

Cookie- Awesome job on your workout. How was your moms celebration? And thank you for your kind words. Now your inspiring me to workout today :)

Kristin- I'm sure your presentation will be fabulous Tuesday. Great job on your workouts and dog walking this week.

Deb-How is your weekend going? Reading your post from 11/1 about the Christmas music reminded me of the bakery job and how they played x-mas music continually for 8 weeks - it was madness to the people who worked there :eek: Luckily the job I have now has no music. Yay..LOL

ok...of to accomplish something ;)
 
Good morning,

Last night our neighbor across the street had a bday/Halloween party! DH and I didn't get home until 3:45 a.m.:eek: We had a blast last night, it was so much fun! Today is a rest day. I will take the dogs for a nice walk later.

Cookie - my face always looks like that after a intense workout:p Hope you had fun at your mom's celebration yesterday.

Kirstin - I have to check out that dog food. I buy mine dog foot also at Petco. That workout is tough, I have a huge dread factor for this one. All those jumping jacks, hate them! I don't mind a few, that wo has to many, JMO!

I will try to be back tonight, if not I will check in in the morning.

Waving Hi to everyone that check in today.

10lb slimdown upper body circuit done this morning. What a fun and challenging workout :) Just love the instructor too.

Belinda-Im sorry I missed you this morning. Glad to hear you had fun at the neighbors last night....party animal;) Enjoy your walk:)
 
Amelia - I think, you and I posted at the same time this morning:D LOL, that's me. Love, love Chris! I have DOMS in my UB today. I was sweating buckets yesterday So far, I am loving my rotation. Are you are doing the 10 PS down rotation too?

My lamb roast is roasting in my George Foreman Rotisserie, it smells so good. I am making Gyros w/ Tzatziki today. Yummy! BBL!
 
Hey everyone. Today I did HS the cardio only premix, plus my own ab workout. I am stressing out because the software for the SMARTboard is not working correctly on my laptop, so I could not prepare for my presentation for work this weekend. Now I have to get it all done at work tomorrow. I will be staying late for sure.

Cookie- I thought I was all set. I was going to show everyone examples of what I use and do and now I don't know. Hopefully I can upload my files on my desktop at work and make it work there.

Belinda- can I eat at your house tonight? Sounds yummy!

Amelia- keep logging in and try to workout every day. You are doing great. Life throws us all curveballs from time to time. Stick with it. Working out is my stress relief!

Waving hello to Deb and Melissa.

Kristin
 
Hi,

DH & I had a nice time going out for our Anniversary. I have been in a rut & have not exercised all week, tomorrow morning will be yoga.

We have been so stressed at home, a couple of days ago my younger ds was coming home from his gf's house (rarely goes there) he was stopped & they thought he was drinking but he wasn't & passed all of the tests. He wouldn't let them search his car so they impounded it (ds says there isn't anything to find) we needed to hire a lawyer. It's weird but in this morning's paper there was an article how police depts. are pulling people over because if they find something it is big money for them & in only 2% of the stops is anything found:rolleyes: I feel bad ds is afraid to leave the house except for school & work.

Belinda - Wow, that was a late party, did you dress up? It sounds like you have a fun neighborhood.

Kristin - This was the perfect year for you to get a longer break this year:) I hope everything works out for you tomorrow.

Amelia - I can't believe how big your children are, I remember when they were so little;) It's good to vent!

Cookie - I always say I'm going to take notes on how hard, etc. . . dvd's are but never get around to it, one of these days. I hope everything went well with your Mom's party!

Melissa - Did the extra hour help you?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do UB!

Debbie - your poor son! Can't believe they target young people like that:confused: So sad! Good for you getting a lawyer. We do have a fun neighborhood. Yes, we dressed up at soldiers:D We didn't know, it was a costume party, that was the best we could come up last minute.

Kirstin - sorry, about your presentation. Hope you get it all done today. Dinner was yummy! Good job on your workout yesterday.

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. Have a great Monday/day!
