Commit to get FIT & Lean for September!!

Good evening,

I also did Strictly Strength with Jessica today.

Amelia - you are very welcome. I saw your posting on youtube. Glad you enjoy her workouts as much as I do:D She puts out amazing workouts and you don't need a lot of space. Did you order Cathe's new workouts?

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. BBL!
 
Hello ladies. I woke up this morning and the second I got up to take a step I had such horrible, terrible DOMs in my quads and butt. Not the kind of DOMs that make you feel like smiling because you know you worked hard. No, the kind that make you cry because it hurts to walk, to go up and down stairs, to sit on a toilet. . . awful, painful DOMs. I have been trying to stretch my quads all day and nothing has made it go away at all. It is torture. I am hoping that the DOMs will be gone in the morning, lol. Speaking of morning. . . DH is leaving tomorrow. We are not crazy about him having to leave on 9/11, although my friend who is an air traffic controller says it is the safest day to fly because of heightened security. Still. . . I hate it.

I cannot believe it has been 12 years since 9/11. I've seen the new world trade center and it is beautiful. I just wish they would have built two buildings, you know?

Anyway.. . trying to get through this week.

Cookie- I'm with you on the new series. I haven't preordered. I cannot afford it. I would like to see the video clips, then maybe I'll order a few, but not all. I am interested in the X10 and flex train. Step. . . maybe. . .

Belinda- Ok so you tried a few of the workouts. I love tabatacise, although I have yet to do it in its entirety, lol. If you have all those dvds that you can do a new workout every day for two years, I agree, stop buying them. I think you should do a different one each day. Maybe put them in categories and make monthly calendars of which ones you will do, lol. I wonder what results you would get. I think it is worth it to experiment.

Deb- do you mean you are already setting up for Christmas at your job? Oh boy! It is getting crazy how early retailers prep for Christmas. I'm not ready for this change, lol.

Amelia- good luck with the job prospects. Something bigger and better is coming your way. I can feel it!

Melissa- how is school? Are you avoiding that negative, rude roommate of yours?

Okay, bb tomorrow. I hate playing single mom :(

Kristin
 
Morning Heidi and Sherry,

Today I will do D17 legs and Jessica Smith 30 Min HiiT workout.

Kirstin - wtg, on your DOMS:D It is hard to believe 9/11 been 12 years ago:( Safe travels to your husband. i really don't know what I will do with all my wo dvds:eek: I don't want to follow a strict rotation. Maybe when the weather is getting cooler? If you plan on ordering some Cathe's new dvds, you can order them through Mary's website at totalfitnessdvds.com. If you use the coupon code 10off;) you get 10% of your entire order plus if you order is $19 shipping is free:D. Mary is fantastic with her customer service:D If you can wait a little, she has a lot of sales going on, sometimes you get workout dvds a lot cheaper with the sale + you still use the 10off coupon;) You can rent Cathe's workouts on Amazon.com (streaming) for very cheap. I think, it's $1.99:eek: I also noticed right after Cathe shipped Xtrain....Collegevideos.com sold some of the Xtrain workouts for $13:D If you want, I can let you know if I see the new workouts on sale:eek: Last week, Mary had a huge sale on her site. All the Xtrain workouts were on sale;)

Happy Hump Day, everyone.
 
Morning girls,

Today is JS 30 min HiiT and I want to do some UB weight work.

Belinda-Sounds like a great workout planned for today. I didn't get a chance to order Cathe's new workouts. maybe in a few months I will :) Kristin has a good idea with your workouts, a new workout everyday is sure to give you awesome results.

Kristin- Hows the quads and bootie today?:eek: I know the doms your talking about and no, they are not any fun. I haven't had them in a while though. I'm wishing your dh a safe flight and return.

Deb-Glad everything was resolved with your mom and son. Have a great workout!

Cookie-How is everything going? What workout is planned for today?

Melissa-Hows your day going? I agree with everyone, negative people suck! I think that was one of the reason I left my last job, there were two negative nancy's working there that talked about everybody. I got exhausted trying to block them out.:confused:

bbl
 
Good afternoon,

Jessica Smith HiiT and D17 done! I still have to do Clean Max.

Amelia and Kirstin - LOL, that would take me years:p Maybe I will do something like this next year. Too many other workouts I want to do first:confused:

Amelia - wasn't the HiiT great:D All I can say " LOVED IT".

Where is Debbie?

That's it for me today. I will be back in the morning. Have a wonderful day.
 
Jessica smiths 30 min Hiit + Tank top arms done. My arms are trembling :confused:

Yes Belinda, Loved Hiit. My whole body is shaky right now.

Ok girls, thats all for me today. OMG, I ALMOST FORGOT:eek: I got a call this morning for a interview Friday morning at 10am. Im so excited and nervous. Its for that front office job about 15 minutes away. Keep your fingers crossed for me.:)

Amelia - will do! Good luck, Friday! Good job, today. Is the Tank Top arms a Jessica workout?
 
Hey Belinda, Yep..Tank top arms is a Jessica workout. It was really tough ( not cathe tough but Jessica tough LOL)
 
Hi,

Sorry I was MIA, I came home early yesterday because I started feeling dizzy I think it could have been vertiago (never had it before) but in a few hours it was gone just a strange feeling. I jumped ahead & did M2 D24 back & bi's.

Today I took a hot yoga class, it was with Jessie my fav yoga instructor. She hit the nail on the head after that class you feel great for a long time & energized. Not sure if it's because it is new:confused: I already feel DOMS in my legs.

I only dropped off Holiday wallets yesterday & tomorrow I'll do the set-up, alittle bit to hot to be looking at wreaths & Christmas lights:confused:

Belinda - I've been meaning to check out the Loft & yesterday they sent me a coupon:rolleyes: I have to go back to trying Jessica workouts again.

Kristin - Hang in there while DH is away. I'm sure using the bathroom is a killer:D Ugh, it's that time of year again well I really have till October for my other stores but still too soon.

Amelia - Good luck with the interview! Wow, a 15 min. commute too!

Melissa & Cookie - What are you up to?

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning!
Belinda, you certainly can say you have a variety of exercise dvds! And isn't variety supposed to be the spice of life? I'm really curious how you manage them all. I keep all my Cathe's in one binder and everyone else in another by type and instructor. Then there are a couple I keep in a travel dvd case for when I'm away from home.
Amelia, good luck on the interview. You sure are getting a lot of calls and offers. That's fantastic.
Melissa, negative people just suck. I'm dealing with some and they're sapping all my energy.
Kristin, what the heck did you do to get those doms? Hope you're doing ok. Being a single mom is not easy, but at least it is only temporary.
Deb, it must have seemed strange doing your holiday wallets on a hot humid day. It was like being in Panama yesterday. Glad you can still take classes with Jessie.
Well, in case you haven't noticed I'm in a definite funk. I'm overwhelmed and tired from my job(s) and the lack of team. It just makes me feel worn out. Lately my sleeping is horrible, and I just am tired. Hoping Cathe's new series will get me going, and it looks like it is coming soon. But to tell the truth, I haven't even been following it, just seeing the changing notices on the main page. So, I'm trying to figure out how to get recharged. Meanwhile, my house is getting very organized! It's like I'm trying to get some area of my life under control! Perhaps I'll start a business helping folks get organized.

Good morning,

Today is Jessica "New Cardio Pilates" = 27 min.

Ok, I am not doing so great with the "No more spending on workout dvds:mad: I just placed in order for MET Rx 180 fitness for under $21:confused: What is wrong with me:eek: How can I pass all that up for so little money? It comes with tubing, a resistance ball and 12 dvds. Here is the direct link:You apply the coupon code VW800 at checkout and it takes it down to $18.74 and $1.99 shipping.
http://www.vitaminworld.com/met-rx-144/met-rx-10-workout-program-072559

Here is a review of the workouts:
MET Rx 180 Review

Cookie - I meant to post a pic of my dvd boxes yesterday, but I forgot:confused: I pretty much have mine in order like you do. Sorry your work is stressing you out(((HUGS))) Hope Cathe's new workouts will help. Aleisa, is like that too, she gets so stressed out at work:( Good for you getting your house organized. I am still changing/organizing my house. I already filled up 3 huge boxes to donate.

Amelia - don't be surprised:D When I did Jessica's last Challenge, I lost inches and weight:D Just because you don't feel wiped out, doesn't mean you are not working hard;) Change is good!

Debbie - oh,no:( Have you seen a doc for the vertigo? He can give you meds for the dizziness. I had it so bad, couldn't move my head. Hope you feel better soon. I spent over #200 at Loft....they gave me two #25 gift cards. Now, I have to go back and spent more $$$:p Their sales a great;) Glad you had fun with Jessica yesterday.

Hallo Melissa.

I will be back later. Have a wonderful day and workout.

Hey girls,

Todays workout will be JS Yoga Abs + Cardio Pilates, im trying to catch up. Im 8 days behind on the challenge:confused: If I do two a day I should be caught up by the end.

Belinda-That IS great deal on those workouts. A lot of extra's come with the price too. Very tempting, but since im unemployed at the moment I just can't afford it :eek:

ok..bbl after my workout to caught up:D
 
Good afternoon,

Pilates workout is done! Loved it!

Amelia - how did you like it?

Waving Hi to everyone that follows. BBL!
 
Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA: it's been a crazy week. We had our first quiz yesterday and it was a nightmare :confused: I studied really hard for it too because some of the upper classmen warned me about this professor. Guess I will have to try harder next time and study differently. So even though I went over my carbs for the day already (roomie brought home fresh baked cookies and brownies and I couldn't resist :eek:), I had a glass of wine. Life is short lol ;) (and I wonder why I can't lose weight!)

Tonight I did the timesaver cardio from BM2 and the rounds 1-4 of LIS CSS. I love that workout!

Amelia, good luck on your interview tomorrow!! That is a great commute, 15 min. Let us know how it goes :D. I need to check out this Jessica smith lady.

Deb, how are you feeling? My friend is doing hot yoga and she said if I want to I could try a class for $10. I might do it but I'm scared cuz the room is 114 degrees :eek: I'm gonna suck it up and see what it's all about though. She loves it.

Cookie, I'm sorry you're in a funk. That is a crappy feeling. Maybe since your house is nice and organized now it'll help relieve some of that tension. That is a great idea for a business! Do you have any vacation time you can take?

Belinda, LOL you are cracking me up! At least you're getting these DVDs at a good price. I'm afraid to look at this link cuz I might buy something :eek:

Kristin, how is your week going? Almost Friday!!! How is the house and your mom? Thank you SO much for all your kind words; ultimately I am really gkad that i chose to come out here and do the whole PT thing. I really am passionate about it and I know once everything is all said and done i will feel so happy thati did it. It's just a lot to take on, especially with having no money. I'm not used to not working so its scary.

Have a great night girls!

Hi,

I didn't get a workout in but sure did a lot of walking. During prototype managers come from across the U.S. to help set-up so they were laughing because I was wearing out the floor searching for a box. Two days ago it was on a cart to go to the stockroom, wouldn't you know it I found it back in the shipping department:confused:

Belinda - DH & DS drinks Met-RX shakes for breakfast and always see those flyers for the DVD set in there but never checked it out. Let me know what you think. If vertiago happens again will go to the Dr. but it only lasts a few hours:confused:

Kristin - How is it going with DH away, is he back for the weekend?

Amelia - Good luck with the interview tomorrow:)

Melissa - I think the hot yoga classes temp is 95 - 100, will have to ask because 114 sounds scary:) $10 is a good price at least for around here. You may have to bribe the professor with cookies:eek:

Cookie - I could have used your help today looking for the box;) That would be a great business, and I would be your 1st customer LOL. If the way you organized your DVDs is any indication you would be great!

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I am up early, can't sleep:confused: Today is D18 and Jessica Smith "Rise + Shine" yoga workout.

Debbie - glad you feeling much better. I never had Met-RX shakes before:eek: I will let you know how I like the DVDs;) It's a 3 month rotation.

Melissa - I am pretty sure, you did great on the test! I hear you on the wine, I think that's why I don't lose any weight:confused: Like you said, live is short:D Met-RX dvds sold out yesterday, sorry! Let us know, how you like hot yoga.

Cookie - what are your plans today?

Amelia - Good luck with the interview today.

Have a wonderful day, ladies. BBL!
 
'Morning!
Belinda, so how many dvds do you think you have? You crack me up with getting more of them.
Amelia, good luck with the interview. I would love, love, love a 15 minute commute.
Melissa, I had wine last night too. And the night before! Of course, it has only been for the medicinal purpose of helping me sleep. Last night 6 hours!
Kristin, when does your dh return. Was last night open house? If so, how did it go?
Deb, a hot yoga class someone here was trying to talk me into advertises a class for 114. I'd be so clumsy at 70, that temperature would be a laugh riot.
Yesterday had to put the old dog down. He was the 12 year old yellow lab. Made it hard b/c my husband was considering cortisone treatment for a few months, and I didn't want to. The dog would have been ok with the shots but never would take pills, and we would have had to give him a few every day. DH was just in denial that nothing was really going to change but of course didn't want to make a decision. So then it was up to me, and that made me feel worse, b/c after all the discussion and my husband's ideas, I was getting really worried I would be late for a meeting. So I feel like I sort of rushed him along and that's not right. Going to try some ub wts in a few minutes.
Cookie
 
Morning Cookie,

So sorry for your loss (((HUGS))) I had to put my dog down while my husband was in Iraq. It was the hardest discussion I had ever made. She had cancer. She got sick 3 day's after my husband left for Iraq, had to put her down a few day's before my husband came back from Iraq. You don't want to know, how much I spent in vet bills in Germany just to keep her alive. (((HUGS to you and your husband)))) It's never a easy discussion. I don't know:eek: how many workout dvds I have:p I know....what's wrong with me, getting more workout dvds:eek:

I will be back later.
 
Good morning girls! Today is STS D8 and abs and lots of laundry :(. This afternoon my class is throwing a BBQ for the first years, so that should be fun! I'm a mentor this year (scary) and I emailed my mentee but she never wrote me back. I was planning on meeting up with her at the party but I guess that won't happen. Maybe ill take someone else's student ;)

Deb, lol at your searching for a cart/box. Glad you finally found it! Hahaha, maybe I should bribe the prof with some cookies and get them out of the house!

Belinda, oh man well I guess for my sake its better that they sold out. My friend showed me this new website, joyus.com where they have all this fitness stuff. I've been avoiding it like the plague, especially since I haven't picked up my paycheck yet. Between that and hautelook, Im in big trouble.

Cookie, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Hugs to you!!!! I remember when my cat had kidney failure and they suggested we try dialysis treatments. My mom told me to make the call and I just told her to put the poor thing to sleep. Like you said, I knew what she would/wouldn't tolerate and I knew she wasn't going to be good with the treatments, plus I didn't want her to suffer. It was one of the most heartbreaking decisions I've ever made in my life. I know it's easier to say but your dog had a nice long life and a loving home, so that is always a plus. It is hard though, it's like losing a family member.

Amelia, good luck on the interview today!!!!

Kristin, hope you're doing well and things are calming down for you!
