Commit to get FIT & LEAN for October!!

Good morning,

Today's plan is D10 and abs.

Cookie - your post made me laught. I guess you are right, hair is worth it, lol. I do love it. Not sure, what's going on but I can't sleep either lately? I wished I would be 25 not 49, lol. Age is definatly catching up with me. Happy Birthday to your DD. I think she will find her place soon. She needs time.

Debbie - LOL, I went with blond highlights, looks natural. My 20's are long gone, lol. What are your planting? I can't do any high intensity workouts, not even once a week. I can't hardly walk on my feet. Glad you back from vacation. Haven't seen Lorraine either? Mmmm....?
 
Lori - no more lulu for you? LOL! Aleisa (she wants to be closer to DC)and I were looking for rental properties, they want $1665 for a 1 bedroom appartment:confused:. We pay less for our house? WTH? Now we are looking into buying a condo? We found a few and the price isn't to bad. I am sure you will find somehing. Good luck! Trust me, I feel like your running partner. Age is catching up on me.:eek:
 
Kirstin - hope you had fun at your friend's house and watching the game. I think you will love TM and CF. I am not gonna cancel xtrain, I always can give them to Alesia. I am hoping in a few weeks my foot is getting better. I think all that high impact I was doing a while back, caused my foot to flair up? I also love this time of the year, all those colors:D

As soon as I had my coffee, I will get my workout in. Than off to paiting whatever is left and getting my kitchen back together.

Have a wonderful day and workout everyone. BBL;)
 

 
 
 
Quick check in:


D10 (SBT) is done:D I am so glad this was the last disc with all those push ups:rolleyes: I rather lift weights than do another push up!

Does anyone reads the Shape magazine? I odered it last night with a $20 off code, which brought the price down to only $0.99 cents for 12 issues. Yes, you read right:p If you are interrested let me know, I will post the link/code;)


Off to get something done around the house. BBL!
 
Hi,

I did a quick w/o of shoulders, bi's & tri's with some free weights & bands. My upper back started to hurt & when I looked in the mirror my form was way off:confused: no wonder I need DVD's LOL.

Belinda - Wow, great deal on Shape mag please share the link/code. I'm planting daffodils one of the few flowers the deer won't eat. It looks like X-train will have a lot of low impact w/o's.

Cookie - I did LB too, I really like that workout it seems to work the LB using different exercises. Sorry your not sleeping well:( You probably needed to carry a thermos of coffee today.

Waves hi to everyone!

Goodnight:)
 
Hey everyone. I had another dentist appt. yesterday. My last cavity-filling. The dentist said I was lucky because it was almost a root canal it was so deep. Yikes! I have a root canal scheduled for November as it is. I maxed out my dental benefits with the root canal, so I will be spending $500 out of pocket. Just in time for Christmas :mad::confused::(

Anyway, I was too tired to do the entire GS Chest and Triceps so I did the supersets timesaver option. I liked that premix. I am thinking TTM and CF should be coming today. I cannot believe Cathe is done filming Xtrain already. When do you think we will get them? end of November? before Christmas?

Belinda- that is a great deal for Shape magazine. I used to read it a lot. This time you are doing STS straight through? I am thinking of doing the one month transformation rotation using STS TB and LIS, not sure. . .

Deb- I will catch a glimpse of myself doing kickboxing sometimes. . . not a pretty picture, lol, especially when I am tired at the end with KPC for example.

Lori- I love to work bis and tris. Back is fine too, but chest just kills me. I hate doing the push ups and then once I feel that burn I want it over with, lol. I think in GS, she does the 3 sets of presses and flies then 2 sets on the incline of both and I am burnt at the incline part. I start of using 20s and then end up with 12s at the end, lol.

Cookie- I am hoping to come home one day, just one day this week with no papers to grade, lol. You think I can do it? Actually, we are going on a field trip to NYC to the museum of natural history, so I shouldn't complain. I spent a lot of the weekend grading though and I am giving a quiz today.

Okay, I am off!

Kristin
 
Good morning,

I have a doc appointment this morning, not sure what I will do today. Last night I did ended up doing BBL High & Tight with Alesia. Love the burn!

Kirstin - glad it was your last cavity filling. I think we get xtrain more like in Dec? LOL! I am doing STS streight through. I may change it up next month, who knows?

Debbie - I am glad to read xtrain has lots of low impact w/o's. Here is the link: http://www.deekins.com/239.html and coupon code is blbshp.

Waving Hallo to everyone that follows.

I will be back later after my workout. Have a good day/workout everyone.

Just finished plyo legs disc 35. Hoping CF and TTM comes tomorrow :).
Still have to get the boys their Halloween costumes, so I will probably do that tomorrow after I pick them up. I cannot believe Halloween is next week! Before you know it we will be eating lots of turkey and gravy, lol.

Belinda- did you end up doing a workout today?

So another cop was killed today during a traffic stopon Long Island. This time he was shot by the thug he pulled over. On Monday they had the funeral for the cop that died while dealing with a car accident because he was hit by an SUV. The funeral was right by my house and the other day. Just so sad.

It makes you realize what is important.

'Evening!
Belinda, hair is always worth it. That's how I knew I was getting older - I look forward to going to get mine done - b/c it is quiet there. I just want to sit, read sleazy magazine, rest, and leave looking better than I went in.
Kristin, hope your goal is achieved. You have a good chance due to the field trip. I used to live on the south end of the museum - 77th Street. That's where they inflate the balloon's for the Macy's parade. Love, love, love that museum.
Lori, are you running around? Hope today was a good day.
Amelia, how's the office drama. I have a day of meetings (5.5 hrs worth) with a person who drives most folk and me crazy. I'll spend the day battling the urge to set her straight.
Deb, form is so important. That's what I like about Cathe and Leah. Those barre workouts sure due hit different muscles.
Watched the debates and didn't get to sleep till late this morning but then overslept a bit this morning. So today was an unplanned rest day. Planning on kpc tomorrow and looking forward to it. That is one of my very favorites.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I took a yoga class tonight & it gave me energy because I still don't feel tired:confused: My set-ups are going smoothly it seems like (at least at Macy's) they didn't buy as much merchandise. I'm wondering if they'll run out before Christmas.

Belinda - Thanks for the code I'll try it tomorrow. Maybe we'll get the workouts the beginning of December.

Lori - Where are you?

Kristin - I haven't been to the Museum of Natural History since my kids were little would love to go back. Ugh, on the dental bills it seems like even with dental insurance the bills are so high. Our routine check-ups keep getting higher & higher thinking about shopping around.

Cookie - If I don't get to bed soon I'm going to be useless tomorrow;) or need extra caffeine. I love reading the magazines at the hairdresser too.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Had a busy day yesteday, we also had to take our dogs to the vet. Forgot about that one! Late afternoon I took a nice long walk with my dogs.
 
Woke up this morning at 5 am with Aleisa and did BBL Ab Rapido and Bum Bum Rapido. Great short and intense workouts. I also have D11 on tap today.
 
Debbie - you are very welcome! Hope to be done with STS until the new workouts arrive.
 
Cookie - LOL, me too! I missed watching the depates, got so tired and went to bed. DH and son informed me in the morning, lol. Enjoy KPC today. I hope my foot will feel better soon, miss running.
 
Kirstin - I went for a walk, that's all. Went to the mall last night with Aleisa to get her Halloween Costumes. Her Bday is on Halloween. She ordered one from Canada, Alesia is leaving for San Diego on Friday. So sorry to hear about the cop. So sad!
 
Waving Hallo to the everyone that follows. I will be back later.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hey girls,

D11 is done:D One more to go, than I will have a recovery week. Looking forward to it.

Hi Lori - did you sell your house yet? Can't believe how cold it is in Canada:eek:

Hi Cookie, Kirstin, Debbie and Amelia.


I will be back in the morning. Good night.
 
Hey girls , sorry for not checking in. Work has me swamped right now. We're having to train a few new people in the bakery because our company decided to cut back hours on everyone that isn't considered a "full time employee" ( benefits and vacation/holiday pay). So that means that we have to hire more part time people to pick up the slack...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Anyways, The only workouts I have to report is walking. I try to get in at least 30 minutes a day - for sanity really. Im going to try and pick up the intensity tomorrow and see how the foot does. I can't wait for Xtrain to come out...im really looking forward to it :)

Im off tomorrow so I will come back and post some personals then...off to get the kids ready for bed. Have a great night:)
 
Evening everyone. Just finished my workout. First, CF and TTM came today :D:D:D. I previewed both of them and was so excited that I felt I had to do a little of both, so I changed my workout plans a little. I did GS BSB timesaver premix. Then I did TTM Slide and Glide tabata and the bonus core from CF. I am already in love, lol. I am thinking I will do TTM in its entirety tomorrow. . . or CF. . . or TTM. . . suggestions? Which one do you like best?

Anyway. . . today was blah at work. Rainy and rainy. Then when I got home we took the boys to get their costumes. My older DS will be the blue power ranger (with muscles) and my little guy is going to be Woody from Toy Story.

Amelia- sorry to hear about the stress at work. At least you are getting your walks in, that must help. Xtrain looks amazing from the pictures she has posted. I am excited for it too now that I finally preordered.

Belinda- so now that I got these two new gems for workouts I am wondering if I can do them with STS or if that is too much? The transformation rotation is STS with LIS. .. Nothing with these two and STS. Maybe I should stick to the pyramids and GS until Xtrain comes out?

Lori- any news on the house (bidders)?

Deb- guess what came in teh mail today. .. Toys R US CHRISTMAS catalogue. I swear. .. it is just plain wrong!!! The sad part is I started looking to get ideas. I hate what retail has done to Christmas. What would Charles Dickens think? What would the Grinch have to say, lol.

Okay, good night all!

Kristin
 
Hi,

I'm doing the countdown until I have all my set-ups done. DS had the day off & helped me today but you could easily pick me up off the floor. I was on my feet so much today so I couldn't even think of a workout today.

It's so quiet here today.

Amelia - I so understand, this time of year is so crazy.

Kristin - I feel like everywhere I turn around I see Christmas:rolleyes: I still need to decorate my house this weekend for Halloween:eek: The boys costumes sound cute. Did you hear about a possible storm but it's a couple of days before Halloween. I like both CF & TTM, I did like one better can't remember which one.

Waves hi to everyone!

Goodnight:)
 
Good Morning:)

Sorry I have been MiA...I can't believe I haven't checked in since Sunday!!! So far this week I have ran every day and I did all the UB slow and heavy workouts. I think I will be doing S&H legs and cardio today. I won't be running outside cause it looks pretty wet! Brrrr!

I had busy couple of days. The kids didn't have school and my parents were here Monday night for the night.

Nothing on the house front. No lookers and cold lake doesn't have much to look at either:confused:. We've decided not to rent b/c the market is suppose to be going up and we need to buy before that happens. But DH needs to find ut what happens when you don't sell your property in time. He heard that they will put us up in a hotel.

I found a job in cold lake and applied on it. It ended the 28th of sept but still isn't filled...this could be a good sign or bad....lol...depends on how you wanna look at it!

Belinda** you could have gotten at least two pieces of lulu instead of the hair do!:eek::p. Which reminds me that I need to make a hair appt before DH's graduation. Sounds like your kitchen is coming together.

Cookie** we haven't had much cold weather here yet but there are areas of Canada that have had snow already..Pretty close to where I'm moving:eek:

Ameila** I hate it when businesses do that! I guess if your a business owner it makes sense but it's not fair.

Kristin** sounds like your getting near the end of your dentist trips, for now anyway. I need to go before we leave, then that will give me time to find a new one. I also need to call my drs office and get an appt...I need to figure out what I am going to do for birth control:eek: I'm thinking an iud

Deb** sounds like you've had some good workouts. I'd like to have a mirror in my workout room so I can keep an eye on my form!

I will bbl. I have no plans today, other then working out!

Lori:)
 
Good morning,
 
Not sure, what I will do today. Had a good night sleep, only woke up 3 times. Which is good! LOL!
 
Kirstin - glad you CF and TTM. I like CF the best. I think you can do CF and TTM with STS, but base yourself and don't over due it. Like I did! What rotation do you wonna do? STS and LIS?
 
Debbie - sorry you been under so much stress with work. Hope you get a workout in today.

Amelia - you still having problems with your foot too, hah? Got an x-ray from my knee/foot last week. I am in so much pain, not to mention my lower back is hurting like hell too. I think all those high impact workouts, did me in.They are fun, but not good for my old body:confused:

Waving Hi to Lori! Where is she?

I will be back later.
 
'Morning!
Belinda, hope things went okay with the vet yesterday. Since you went for a walk with the dogs, I'm guessing they are well. Your dd sure is busy. Is she going to the SF Halloween party?
Amelia, guess they aren't figuring in the expense of training! At first I thought you said they only wo you were getting in was waking! Proves sometimes I read too quickly. Or that's showing what the only wo I got in yesterday was - waking.
Lori, you sure have a lot to do. Are you a list maker or how do you keep track of everything?
Kristin, I bet your boys are so excited for next week. Both wo are great. I wouldn't have the energy to do that level of cardio with sts all the time, but you are certainly much younger than me.
Deb, that storm is supposed to be really bad! Sure hope you can get things done so perhaps you can stay home most of next week. It sure doesn't sound good.
UB this morning. Have to take another dog to the vet this morning and am fearful it could be a repeat of 3 weeks ago. He's hacking like crazy. One of the other ones hasn't been herself either - for four pounds she snores like she is 400 and isn't eating much. A friend tells me they're all missing the other dog, but I don't see how hacking is mourning. We were told yesterday my mom's kidneys are failing and she's adamant she doesn't want to do anything about it. A son moving cross county for a different job, which is good, just wish he knew the area or someone in the state. Just lots going on.
Cookie
 
Hi everyone,


Not sure if this was a bright idea, but I did LIS Cardio Super Sets:confused: kept it very low impact:) got a good sweat.

Cookie - the dogs are fine, thanks for asking:) Chu Chu needed a kannel shot. DH and I decited to take the Chu Chu (he is the one, that bites all the other dogs) to a Berkeley K-9 School. He is too agressive with the other two little dogs, he needs to learn to get alone with the rest of the dogs.The dog has behavioral problems since we got him, we got him from the animal shelter. He can not exept the other dogs:eek: He gotten bad since my son moved in with his beagel. Macpie (the beagel) she is not agressive at all, she is so cute! We been taking Chu Chu to the same dog school, but it's not working/or very slow for us. (((HUGS))) so sorry about your mom. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Sorry about your dogs too.
When it pours it rains:( Aleisa's Bday is on Halloween:eek: Her and her friends from El Paso are flying to San Diago and party for 3 day's. She is still young:eek:



I will try to be back later. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
 
Hi all. So I went with TTM and on my goodness. . . this is my new FAVORItE workout!!! I loved every minute and sweat droplet of it. The music, the moves, the step tabata, the 30/20. It was the best and I cannot wait to do it again.

Tomorrow is the field trip to NYC to the museum. I love doing this trip, but there is just one part that is very, very stressful. . . taking 135 students on the subway. Once we get there it is great.

Belinda- how is your foot now after doing CSS? That is a good low impact workout.

Cookie- a hurricane is heading towards Long Island and might possibly hit Tuesday!!! Halloween might be of, lol. At least they have a Halloween party on Saturday.

Lori- it might be rough to live in a motel/hotel with the kids. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Deb- I never really decorate for Halloween. I don't even carve the pumpkins. I tried last year and thought the boys would be excited to do it. Well, when they saw the inside of the first pumpkin, both threw up and wanted no part of it, lol. Fun times.

Okay, I am off to rest up and change out of my sweaty clothes.

Kristin
 
Hi Girls

Todays workout was PS and HR shoulders and abs, mindy spin DVD (50 min) and S&H legs. I stopped at the calf raises , not sure what else I missed....I hate calve raises!

Belinda** I'm here! You missed my post earlier. I guess we were posting at the same time.

Cookie** I make grocery list if that counts....everything else I just remember. Maybe being busy is what keeps me sane. Sorry to hear about your mom! It doesn't matter how old they are...they are still our mothers!

Krisin** I haven't done TTM often, I've done cf a few times though and I enjoy that one. I like the way they've broken it up. Enjoy your field trip tomorrow!

I will try to check in in the a.m!

Lori:)
 
Hi,

I did a leg workout I found on the internet but my feet hurt at least when I wake-up they are ready to go again LOL. I have a feeling I am going to be left with lots of candy again this year:rolleyes: everytime I watch the news.

Belinda - It is so cool that Aleisa's birthday is on Halloween. Did the Dr. or nurses dress up that day;)

Lori - Great, on possibly getting the job. How soon will the baby be 1? That went so fast at least for me:p Great workouts today.

Kristin - I'm sure you have lots of Halloween decorations at school. I put a table by the front door and decorate with a haunted castle that holds tea candles & some light up & animated decorations from when the kids were young. Great that you love the new dvds.

Cookie - I hope everything goes well with the dogs. My thoughts are with you & your Mom. Is the son from FL moving cross country?

Amelia - I couldn't believe the size cupcakes I saw, they were the size of a small cake:eek:

Goodnight:)
