Good morning,

Never got a workout in yesterday. We started painting the bathroom in the basement instead:rolleyes:

I will be back and catch up on personals.
 
Good afternoon,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE - Hopes a good one.

Just finished Body Fusion. I kept it lower impact but raised the step height...oh my was it challenging. I can remember a time when I would zip right though this workout:eek: Its funny how things change. I'm proud of myself for getting it in today. Now to concentrate on the eating..;)

Belinda-What colors are you painting with? I thought about painting our bedroom in a new ocean breeze color ( kinda light turquoise)

Hello to everyone. I will bbl with some personals
 
Good morning,

My plan for today is: STS M2 W1 D13 CST and stretch.

Debbie - glad you fun yesterday.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. BBL!
 
10 minute solution Knockout Body done today. I did 40 mins of it and got in a good sweat :)

Waving hi to everybody
 
Hi,

I missed the new monthly thread:eek: but I found us & thank you Belinda for starting us up:)

Thank you for the birthday wishes too! I didn't get a workout in Sunday & Monday too many BBQ's:eek:. We went to my in-laws for a pool party in the rain:( it finally cleared up around 4:30PM & a couple of people jumped in.

So I joined the YMCA for yoga but I see a bunch of other classes might try too. I'm thinking of starting hot yoga tomorrow for the 30 day deal. Not crazy about change but lucky to have Cathe to pop in the DVD player:)

Belinda - It must be an accomplishment when the painting is done, always brightens up a room. So you did start STS M2, I hope to get week 4 done this week;)

Kristin - You must be so busy getting ready for school . . . good luck!! & sleep well.

Melissa - The Cheesecake Factory sounds yummy:) The one near here has outdoor dinning & such pretty flowers on the patio.

Amelia - I like the color you picked for your bathroom, Cookie is right always like being reminded of the beach.

Cookie - I never had a leather couch but I wonder if it would be cold in the winter & on the flip side probably doesn't stain:confused:

Goodnight:)
 
Hello girls!! I totally forgot we started a new month so I missed the new thread yesterday :eek:. Lunch with my mentor was fun! She told me if I was planning on living out here and need a job that she will try to help me. That was relieving lol.

We have off from school today so I have a fun filled day planned of laundry and homework :eek: thankfully I did a lot yesterday so I don't feel totally overwhelmed today. Today's workout will be P90X plyo.

Amelia, nice workouts today! Body Fusion is deceptively hard IMO. especially when you raise the step height!

Belinda, hope you have a great workout! Are you all done painting?

Deb, let us know how hot yoga is. I was just talking about that with my friend, I've always wanted to try it. Sounds like you had a great bday (minus the weather)!

Kristin, have a great first day today!!

Hi cookie!!

Have a great day everyone :D
 
Hi girls,

Yesterday ended up being a rest day:p It was Alesia's fault:p:eek: We went shopping and went out for lunch. Alesia decided to stay with us for a few day's. We had a nice dinner and wine:D We painted the bathroom in a light gray. I am on a gray kick these day's:eek:

Yesterday Aleisa and I went to Target...I got Tapout XT for $14:D I know, I said I am not gonna buy anymore workout dads...but for that price I couldn't pass it up:confused:

Today I did STS M2 W1 D13 CST and Jessica Smith (she started another challenge yesterday) Day #1 New cardio ball Blast and Day #2: Barefoot Fusion Walk.



Melissa - I will keep my fingers crossed you find a job soon. I been wanting to ask you....have you heard from Helene? How is she doing? No, we are not done painting. We are going to change the color in my workout room soon. Not looking forward to it. Enjoy your workout. I have a leather couch and love it. Easy to take care! Had mine for over 8 years or so!

Debbie - your are very welcome! Glad you had fun yesterday. I am sure, you will like the YMCA. Change isn't always bad. If you don't like it, do something else.Please, let us know how you like the hot stone yoga?

Amelia - I have that workout, never done it...good job.

I have to go back and read Cookie's post from yesterday. BBL!
 
Hey girls,

Today's workout was a 40 min power walk at my favorite park. I took my boxer with me and thank goodness she was harnessed because we snuck up on some deer and she lunged at them...I forgot how strong she can be:confused:

So I weighed yesterday and I plan on weighing again next monday, pretty excited. Hoping to see some results soon:)

Belinda-Great job on your workouts, I will have to check out these Jessica smith challenges. Now that I'm home, I have more time to workout. Are they on that Jessica TV or youtube? Glad to hear you had fun with your DD:)

Melissa- I've got an assessment test tomorrow that can lead to an interview at a good job nearby. Hoping to get it. I will keep my fingers crossed for you too.

Deb-How was the Hot Yoga class?

Kristin & Cookie - how are you guys doing?

bb tomorrow
 
Hi,

I took the Hot Yoga class today when I 1st walked in the room I was not sure but the class went by so fast it was an 1 hour 15 min. class didn't look at the clock once. Could have used a towel :eek: not sure what I was thinking but used a bunch of tissues. I was sweating a lot, usually don't that much. It was an advanced class but training with Jessie has helped me. The hard part was when they did headstands some didn't even use the wall:eek: I just put my feet on the wall and instructor was fine with that. After the month deal is over plan on buying a package of single classes & doing hot yoga either once or every other week.

Belinda - Shopping is a workout;) & great deal on Tap XT may have to check that out at Target.

Kristin - NY&Co. sent me a coupon & their jeans look really nice may have to go & try some on.

Melissa - An extra day off, hopefully not a lot of homework. That is great with the job help!

Amelia - DH & I saw 2 bucks the other night on a busy street:confused: I hope they were ok.

Cookie - Waves hi

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning! Today was P90X shoulders & arms, and ab ripper. I don't know why but I absolutely HATE abs! This will be a short school week since today is our first day back after Labor Day, and we have Fridays off. Im not complaining about that! ;)

Belinda, sounds like you had a great day with Alesia! How is the tap out workout? Hahah I hear ya, I always say no more workout DVDs but I also can't pass up a good price. I'm nervous about finding a job once I graduate; I'm not sure if we can work before we are licensed or not. I heard we can, so I hope that's true. I don't have to worry about that for another 2 years though :eek: I haven't heard from Helene; we'd been talking on MFP but I haven't seen her on there recently. I should email her. Trish too!

Amelia, good luck on the assessment test!! Let us know how it goes.

Deb, that class sounds intense. I sweat if I move a muscle, so I'd prob be a hot mess (no pun intended lol). It sounds awesome! I should see if there are any groupon deals for hot yoga around here. Def try NY&co jeans; I love them!

Waving hello to Kristin & Cookie. Have a great day!
 
Hi,

Today DH & I decided to take the day off & spend it at the beach. It was a beautiful day. No workout because we also visited DS & my Mom so it was a really long day:)

I'm seeing pumpkins & mums all over the place even Halloween decorations in the stores. I love the fall but not looking forward to the winter.

Melissa - I think if you find something on Groupon go for it. Since you girls told me about it, I see all kinds of great deals on there . . . haven't taken any yet but it is tempting.

Waves hi to everyone!

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning girls,

Last night I did STS M2 D14 legs. I am liking the longer breaks. Plus, I don't have to rush around getting different weights:D I also did JM KB workout as a warm up.

Today I will do JM (Jessica Smith) Yoga Abs.

Amelia - good luck on the test. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Debbie - hope you had fun at the beach with your DH. Good for you! I am not looking forward to winter either.

Meliissa - haven't open Tapout yet:) Not sure, if I will keep it:confused: I was looking at all my workout dads, I have way to many already. I love Groupon:D and Hautlook;) You will find a job...hang in there, girl! Say Hi to Helene and Trish.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. BBL!
 
Hi,

I did chest from M2 D22. I took a yoga class this morning at the YMCA. I was pleasantly surprised the gym has changed so much since I was there 20+ years ago when I was pregnant with DS. I was one of the few people who worked out when pregnant & people would just stare:eek: I forgot but actually went their with the kids when they were infants for swim classes & later on my son played basketball at the gym. It reminds me slightly of Cathe's gym it has a track too! Maybe change isn't a bad thing:)

Belinda - I love the breaks in M2 too & the time to grab different weights;) Great job with your workouts!

Waves hi to everyone

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, how do you store all your dvds? Have you had a chance to try tapout yet?
Amelia, good luck with the test. Boxers are so strong and beautiful.
Melissa, you probably need Fridays just to study. How are things with the roommate?
Kristin, how have your first days been? Mine are crazy. I already am feeling overwhelmed trying to clean up a mess created by someone else.
Deb, thanks for a hot yoga review. Folks I know who do it also have spoken of the sweating but absolutely love it. A date with your dh to the beach must have been very nice.
My morton's neuroma is bothering me again in my feet, so I've been only doing pushups the past few days. Have a big meeting this morning about a complete mess of things. While I'm only involved in the clean up and aftermath, I'm not looking forward to it.
Cookie
 
Morning girls,

Yesterday was another 45 min power walk. Today will be Travel Fit

The assessment test went great. I go back for a physical test in about 2 & 1/2 weeks. Boy this is the oddest and longest pre-employment test I have ever been through.

I had a job offer yesterday but had to turn it down because of the conflict in hours with my kids schedule. Kinda bummed about that. The job wasn't anything to fuss about, local convenience store cashier but it started out pretty good and the hours were great, Monday - friday 9am-5pm. - no weekends.

oh well....

bbl:)
 
Good morning,

Plan for today is: STS M2 D15 and JS Ballet Body =29 min.

Debbie - glad you like your new gym. Change isn't always bad. Good job with your workout yesterday.

Cookie - no, I haven't had a change to try out Tapout. Maybe I will keep the set, maybe not:eek: I do like the idea of using only the tubing and your bodyweight:) I store all my workout dvds in dvd binders or Ikea boxes. I will post a pic. I am thinking getting rid of all the dvd cases, they do take up alot of space:(

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.
 
Hello ladies! TGIF!! Sorry I didn't check in yesterday; I wound up doing Kenpo X. I wish I had done yoga as planned but I had a really bad day and needed to work some frustration out. It worked lol. Today will be yoga. Tonight I'm meeting up with my friends in Brooklyn to see Depeche Mode!!! They are one of my favorite bands so I am sooooo excited!! We are going to an Italian restaurant before the show so I'm sure ill be doing some damage there :eek:

Ok let me know if I'm overreacting about this: there is a sushi place out here where it's all you can eat and their sushi is really good & fresh. Last month I told my friends we should do a girls night there when school started back up as a welcome back dinner. Yesterday my friend suggested we go, but with me going to the concert tonight I will be over my budget for the week (I make weekly budgets to keep myself on track with spending) but I could go next week. They all went anyway. I was upset because I mentioned the idea, pus this is someplace you go maybe once every few months or so. Plus we wanted to take an archery class and my one friend was working the night we wanted to go, and we rearranged everything to accommodate her. I dunno, I just felt like I got the shaft and if it was me, I would've suggested a different place for everyone to go to and do sushi next week when we can ALL go. I was just really hurt.

Deb, I love fall too! It's probably my favorite season. However, I'm also not looking forward to winter and all the snow. Although I do love to ski, so as long as conditions are good this season, I won't mind the cold ;). Your new gym sounds awesome!! I think the Y's have come a long way and are more like health clubs now.

Belinda, lol that's probably why I like M2 better than M1: the long breaks!! That ballet workout sounds fun. You're convincing me to look at all these workouts now haha (as if I need any more DVDs!).

Cookie, I hope you feel better. And hopefully your meeting won't be too bad today. Do you get to enjoy the weekend or do you have to work? Things with the roommate are getting progressively worse but I'm trying to ignore it because in the end it's not worth the drama or hassle. I get along really well with my other roommate so at least I have that. I'm just gonna keep my distance.

Amelia, I'm so happy for you that the assessment test went well! What do you have to do for the physical? What type of job is this (sorry if you said it before, I have the memory of a gnat). You will find something, just hang n there!

Have a great day girls!
