Hi Ladies,
I ended up only doing tabata 1 and core 2. I just really wasn't feeling it. Oh well. Then I banged out 100 bicep curls with 25# barbell, 100 tricep extensions with a 30# barbell, and 100 reps of shoulder work with 10 db's. I actually did the 100 rep challenges as a circuit 25 reps of each 4 times through. I'm feeling sufficiently fried!
I should be getting my physical therapy referral this week so I can get that started soon.
Laura-oh no, not another migraine. booh Hope the dr. can give you something else to help. I'm a loser too so you're in good company! DH is the winner in my family.
TG-hhmm, I don't think I've heard of those workouts. I'll check'em out though. Nice job with CC & legs. You and Lori seem to love killing the legs! I just checked out those w/o's. They look pretty good, and for under $30 they might be worth a try. I'm not buying them....I have too many other things in the works with HM and tri-training.

Hello Ladies. 
Victory is mine!!! I FINALLY have GLUTE DOMS! WOOT WOOT!
LOL
This morning's work out was Combat:: Lower Body Lean Out and Stretch & Strength. Felt awesome on the sore bum!
I will be interning tonight for a bit. He is training so I'll be observing. Hoping to get back there atleast 2 more times before I leave for Vegas but time is running short so IDK if it'll happen!
Training in the accounting dept is going well. I am enjoying the work so far and she seems to be quite happy with my performance so YAY! Spending most of my time there right now while I learn everything but once I am trained I think I am mostly going to be working M-W-F in the mornings only unless I run out of other work to do and she has something for me...
Diana:: WHOA! You have quite the work out planned for today! Hope was as tough as I know you want it to be! Best of luck with physical therapy. I was give a script for PT for my neck when I was diagnosed with arthritis. I never went. Bad me.
TG:: Never heard of Spartacus and not looking coz I don't need to buy anything else right now! Let us know how it is if you decide to try it!
Laura:: Feel better soon! I am going to have to look at everything that WEN has available so I can adjust my shipment for next time if there is anything that strikes me. I've tried the 2 styling aids that came with my shipment and like them both. I still have an intensive conditioning treatment to try...So what does the WEN 6/13 smell like??
Lori:: Up since 4 am huh? Welcome to my world! DOMS is funny like that...just when think it will be brutal it doesn't happen but when you least expect it-WHAMMO! You are in severe pain! I forget what work out it was that I did a few weeks ago that gave me such bad chest DOMS I was almost in tears a few times!!!!
Jacque:: My anniversay is May 15. We leave for Vegas on the 14th and come home on the 19th. Yes A1 and A2 are both Asylum references. It's funny that you should say that when your hockey team wins too much you feel funny. My DH's fave team seems to win "too much" and to me, that's boring. My DH doesn't agree with me though! LOL
That about covers it for me and lunch is just about over anyway so....
TOODLES!

Wendy - re: Wen 6/13 .. it smells a lot like the Almond and the Winter scent combined - a nice clean refreshing vanilla almond mint??? maybe??? but CLEAN .. not sweet!
well .. the Dr gonna try another med - ugh - but he thinks odds are against us b/c of how bad my eyes are .. and how they are progressivly getting worse .. oh well .. I will suck it up and make the most of it! (this may have to be my BLIND COOL emotion/icon )

Evening Ladies !
Well stayed up sooooo late catching up last night there was no way I was going to get up early this AM to w/o. Just finished the 1st half of Cardio Leg Blast . . . too tired to do the step portion ! Felt good and I took it easy on the bending and back work. Am a tad bit sore from the CBS last night - love it !
Diana - nice to hear your leggies are sore from your w/o ! Bummer about the cycle class being full. Yeppers it takes much longer to heal - can't believe my back took over a week ! Am ready ready ready to get moving again and SWEAT ! Nice job on the rep challenge . . . where are you getting them? We have had tons of OT and SO's this season. Very rarely a win or loss in Regulation. Weird season for sure.
Lori - QVC.com is online ordering and TV channels. I just went to the website and signed up for their daily text messages. I'll try to remember to let everyone know when their big sale is. Think a gallon is just over $100 and lasts a long time. I used to wash my hair every other day at a minimum but don't need to any longer. Did you learn more accounting today? Stay awake young lady?
Wendy - Too Funny ! May 15th is DH's Bday ! I wanna go back to LV but he says "I've been there". However, he'll go to the local beaches weekend after weekend. I love LV, the lights, the shows, the food and the gambling is there when you get bored of the rest ! WOO HOO for Backend DOMS ! Finally ! Good to hear you like the accounting - I still love my numbers ! So is DH a Red Wings fan? That would be my guess . . .
Laura - Oh girl you poor thing ! Just keep on truckin' and life will get better ! I don't play much myself . . . leave it to DH to lose ! Way to go with banging out Combat when you weren't feeling too well. Hope the new meds help !
TG - Nice job on the CC - they are Cardio Coach, correct? I really like the STS legs and especially Plyo Legs. Haven't heard of Spartacus . . . have you checked Open Discussion to see if anyone else has done them? Keep us posted.
Okie Dokie . . . time to figure out what to eat for dinner before I fall asleep !
Later chickadees . . .

Hi Ladies,
I took DS 2 out to dinner last night. It was supposed to be DH and I, but he was pissed at me. At any rate, the food was delicious and I ate way too much. They started us off with Artichoke dip and chips, then came salad, then the main course (salmon & baked potato for me, ribeye and fries for DS) and ended with a melt in your mouth cheesecake. I think I'm still full this morning. I brought home 1/2 my salmon and sweet potato and DS1 ate that for dinner.
Today's plan is CLB, run a bit at lunch, ViPR class tonight. I need to burn off some serious calories. This is week 2 of the 12 week HM plan. The runs are between 2-4 miles, very doable as long as it doesn't bother the knee.
Jacque-glad you are back in the swing of the things. I belong to facebook group called Strong & Lean and we usually do monthly challenges. The nutrition challenge for March is No Sugar/Limit Sugar, and the exercise challenge is 100 reps of 1 body part each day. I got started late so I'm trying to get caught up. I only check in with them a couple times per week. They are a very motivating group.
Wendy-I tried to add you back to S&L but it said I couldn't add previous members who haven't requested membership. I don't know how you request membership though.
TG-Here's the Spartacus link: Men's Health: The Spartacus Workout It's from Mens Health.
Lori-what workout(s) did you do last night. I'm really hoping that running doesn't bother my knee. After the first few laps on Monday it felt pretty good. Going from sitting to standing is painful, but after a bit of walking it feels better.
Laura-Hope the new meds help with the migraines.
bbl to see what everyone is up to.

WED / Hump day ..

My eye/migraine is a bit better - nock on wood - still managed to bang out combat lower body blow out WTH?? that was my first time doing it - wasnt what I was expecting - yowza!! it was TUFF!! and not so much on the muscles but the heart!!! had a definate puke factor for me - sure the headache didnt help ???
One of my good friend's sister got diagnosed w/breast cancer -she is NOT handling it good - and I dont know how to help! she is in panic mode - and devestated - - think it is agressive cancer - and it has spread some - I just wish she could try to stay positve - positive energy for her sister and her own sake!! that is a helpless terrible feeling!! she was telling me about what she read in oncologist office - #1 thing is NOT to drink BOTTLED WATER - only FILTERED WATER yikes .. #2 NO PROCESSED FOODS (which we all know this - it is just so hard to do) Eating clean is the healthy way to live - but it is so expensive and time consuming and hard!!! praying for her family!
Jacque - glad you are feeling better - I have to wash my hair EVERY day - I would be the stinky one if I didnt .. ugh! LOL
Di - well sounds like your dinner was AWESOME!! DH missed out huh? wow you gotta a bunch of workouts planned .. that should take care of those calories!!!
Lori - the pic of Rylan exercising was PRICLESS -- you have got to frame that one!! the headband was the topper!!!!
Wendy - I dont see how you did LB blow out w/major butt doms . . yikes .. although it was more cardio than muscle to me!
OK .. better run .. have a great one .. gotta get going ...

Good Afternoon.
No work out to report for this morning. 4:30 came waaay too fast so I proceeded to snooze my alarm....FOR AN HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well. I'm supposed to be interning tonight so maybe we will work out. If not, then an unscheduled rest day it shall be!
So I am waiting for a c/b from the guy at the training studio that emailed me about coming in for an interview for a chance to intern at the facility. He wants to meet w/me this week but if he doesn't c/b soon that isn't likely to happen!
The weather here is awful and only supposed to get worse. I haven't looked outside since I came in this morning. I was a busy bee over in accounting all morning long. Going to have to see what it looks like. I'm hoping it's not bad enough to mess up my interning plans b/c after Saturday I won't be able to get back there until after I return from Vegas because he is leaving on a biz trip Sunday and won't be back til the day I leave! I may be able to start interning with the new place but I can't count on that yet. They may not want me!
Laura:: Yes, that Combat work out is cardio based for sure. I still felt it-trust me-but there were no weights involved at all. OMG, so sorry to hear about your friend's sister's diagnosis. Prayers going out for her and hugs going out to you!!!
Di:: Dinner sounds delish! Is DH over his snit yet? Thanks for trying to add me. I guess I was once a member of that group. Who knew!? LOL I will try looking it up and requesting to become a member again at some point.
Jacque:: OMG how could your DH even think to say that about LV!?! This will be my 4th time going there and I intend to go back again and again!!! Perhaps some day we can have a gtg in Vegas! DH is a Devils fan. Long time, die hard...and ofcourse b/c of that he absolutely hates the Rangers!!!
Ok, that's all for now.
Be back tmrw most likely!

Hola chicas !
I'm feeling soooooo goooooood cuz I just got 3 days of consecutive workouts in. First time since last year ! Today was Bi's & Tri's AND ol' technically challenged me found the 100 rep challenges FINALLY ! I usually just pop in the DVD, do my workout, turn it off and move on. Never view ahead when I get new ones either. Live and learn - leave it to Cathe to make better and better DVD's. Remember the old times when there were no chapters or premixes. So nice she listens to her customers !
Diana - sounds like you are doing OK with your runs. LOL at your dinner last night but good to hear you really enjoyed it. That's when you don't mind working out a little longer to even it all out ! Are the S&L challenges similar to Cathe's then? Are they daily - do they change each day? Hope the knee holds up. What does VIPR class consist of? Reminds me of the old Cathe terminator DVD.
Laura - sorry to hear more bad news on the friend-front for you. ITA that a positive attitude helps everyone but it is hard . . . Think the posting in the doc's office makes lots of sense considering that "they say" we just are not putting in our bodies what we should and it just agravates those ugly "C" cells. Good to hear the head is doing better and crossing fingers it stay at bay !
Wendy - I am trying so hard to get back in the AM workout groove but haven't been getting to sleep early enough. Thinking perhaps tonight since I did stay awake shortly after 4:30 and watched the news and some Tivo'd shows until it was time to get up. Pretty soon it will be hard to get evening w/o's to fit into my schedule and I don't want to miss them any longer! Yes, DH makes it hard to get away . . . so if he doesn't want to go anywhere, then guess I'll just start going with others ! It would be fun to GTG there - only just over an hour flight for us and the rates are cheap these days.
TG - nice workout ! Guessing YT is another forum?
Lori - shouting out to you today . . . busy young lady?
Hasta manana !

Hey Girls
You guys are always so chatty when I least expect it. No workout last night, I ended up face timing a friend and we didn't hang up until after 9. Tonight DH is at some kind of do...so the kids were put to bed early and I did a doozie of a workout. I did xtrain shoulders and bics double trouble...my arms were so tired...then the 100 rep challenge for both. 40 mins on the TM and the first section of cross fire. I was planning on doing the tabata set but I ran out of steam.
I'm up way to late. I'm going to regret this in the morning. Work Is good. Crazy busy. It's almost the end of the month plus they had another deadline that they needed to meet this week. I worked through my lunch both days and a hour late yesterday.
Diana** I love starting out with dips but then I never want my meal. When we've went out recently I haven't ordered a app or I have a couple of apps as my meal. Sounds like DH missed out. That's what he gets for being a tool. I think cycle max is harder then ride but I really like how ride as the time in the corner. That's always good to know. I enjoy spinning when my legs feel heavy at night.
Wendy** you must be getting super excited about your trip. A guy I work with left for Vegas today. Imagine, you may end up crossing paths and never know that you both know me. Who is going with you? I'd love to be going somewhere right about now!
Jacque** 3 workouts in a row woot! Its weird when i put in a older dvd and it doesnt give you any options. What did we do? Im pretty sure I was the last person to jump on the DVD wagon. I was always afraid I was going to scratch them! My mother would def be thinking what kind of sale is that!? A $100 bottle of shampoo. I can get away with using 5 pumps. I have a lot of hair but its not that thick when it's wet.
Laura** oh man...not the c word again! I would be devastated as well if my sister was diagnosed with anything. Or anyone in my family for that matter. But reality is we aren't getting any younger and as long as we are around, we are going to be hearing bad news! A girl I work with wasn't at work last Thursday. On Friday I asked where she was and she said her 38 yr old aunt had a heart attack! I didn't ask if she was over weighted or a smoker cause my coworker is overweight and a smoker. Hope your feeling better! Sorry for passing along my cyber bug!
I will bb at some point in time

A girl I work with wasn't at work last Thursday. On Friday I asked where she was and she said her 38 yr old aunt had a heart attack! I didn't ask if she was over weighted or a smoker cause my coworker is overweight and a smoker. Hope your feeling better! Sorry for passing along my cyber bug!
I will bb at some point in time

Good Morning.
Well, I slept in again this morning so no work out ...BUT... I ended up taking a class at the gym last night so y'day wasn't a rest day after all! It was a "crossfit" class. I personally don't think that's the right name for it. I'd just call it bootcamp but it's not my gym so it's not my business. LOL Anyway it was a good class just the same. A little running and kickboxing to warm up, and then circuits comprised of things like sprinting, push ups, kettlebells, and round house kicking a heavy bag (the kind that stands on the floor). It finished up with some good ab work and a stretch. It was a good class and I have the kettlebells legs to prove it now!
After the class I hung out at the gym for another 45 minutes all marvelously sweaty n stank while I watch him finish training somebody and then we were going over some things. I think he forgot he wanted me to train that guy tonight so I'm not going in (shhh! Don't remind him!!!) but I'm going back Saturday to start going over the sales end of it....ROLE PLAYING! UGH!
Tonight is a bowling night for DH and DS will probably want to play video games for a while so if I'm lively enough I will work out after dinner. Just not sure what I will do yet....
Lori:: Wow, that sure was one doozie of a work out you did! I hope you have use of your arms today at work! Nice, loggin' the O/T already! Busy is good! ITA! Yep, we leave for Vegas one week from today! Excited! No one is going with us. It would have been nice but it just wasn't in the cards. It's ok. I'm sure we'll still have a great time!
Jacque:: I think you asked me where to find the challenges and I forgot to answer. Sorry. Apparently you didn't need my help anyway though! You GOTTA try that hip thruster challenge! Cathe says that move is the BEST GLUTE MOVE AROUND! Nothin' beats a great set of glutes, you know! LOL
TG:: Nice STS work out!
Well I think my novel about covers it!
BBL!

Good morning ladies !
Yep, up an at 'em with my workout this AM (ahem Wendy . . .). Though I only did the first 3 tabatas - may do more after work along with Core if my back will handle it. DH has hockey so I'm "free" tonight to do whatever I want without having to deal with dinner !
Lori - wowsers that was quite a workout last night. LOL you ran out of gas for tabatas - no wonder ! So kids go to bed early when dad is out? Good to hear work is busy . . . always better than it dragging - though I think I'd like that once in a while. Never a lack of piles on my desk. I know the $100 sounds like a lot but you get tons ! I need at least 10 to coat my thick hair and it's quite a bit shorter than yours. Lucky you !
Wendy - so you aren't going to LV on your anniv? Did I remember you are renewing vows? That is cool ! Got a place reserved or just popping in on one? I happened to pop in the hip thrust as I was checking a 2nd DVD for them . . . I could use loads of glute work - won't show until I unload the lbs of fluff though! That one does look like a goodie - I'll do that one as soon as the back feels a little better.
OK - time to get a movin' for work. Enjoy your day ladies.

Hi Ladies,
I ended up missing my ViPR class even though I was at the rec ctr. I must've been late and they moved to another area of the rec ctr. Oh well I did 100 pushups and 100 of 4 different ab exercises with a 12# med ball to catch up with my 100 rep challenge.
Yesterday morning was CLB and 100 Hip Thrusts with a 65#bb.
My knee is killing me this morning, but it feels so much better after I walk on it for a while. It must stiffen up during the night. I'm icing it now before I head down for Burn Sets Bi's & Tri's. My tri's are still a bit sore from the 100 reps the other day. If I have time, then 100 reps for back. Hopefully I can run again today. I did 2.89 mile....wish it was a full 3...will be today for sure. It took me 34 minutes. I'm trying out endomondo on my phone, and it started it several minutes before I actually started running but I think it's supposed to account for that. At any rate, I got my legs moving!
Jacque-Woo Hoo...nice job getting back into the daily w/o's!! ViPR is a weighted tube that is used for exercise. It's all about functional fitness. Here's a link to youtube video that shows, and let me tell it is a lot harder than it looks. ViPR at Equinox - YouTube I belong to a FB group that has the challenges. For March we are doing 100 rep challenges and each day is different body part. We do not have set exercises, you can choose what you want to do.
Wendy-We have a class like that at my rec ctr but it's called Ultimate Fitness and it's different each time. At least you got a workout in and that's what counts!
Lori-oh no, CycleMax is harder than Ride???? I guess I can just do as much as I can and add on a few minutes each time....or lower the tension and just pedal. I'm amazed at the number of people who still smoke. I understand it's addicting, but most smokers don't want to stop anyway. Sad. I haven't tried the double troubles, do you go through everything twice? That would probably be plenty for the average persone, but not our Lori, she had to add on the 100 reppers! No wonder you couldn't finish CrossFire.
Laura-so sorry to hear about your friend and her sister. It's always devastating when you first get the news. Hopefully in a couple days she'll come around to the positive thinking. I considered Combat Lower Body since it was shorter, but prefer to try new w/o's on the weekend since I rewind a lot and redo to learn it, that mostly happens with cardio though.
TG-Are you doing the STS rotation? Sounds like you are in Meso 2, my favorite. Nice work!

HORRIBLE - took 2 doses of Nyquil to help - and man I am feeling it today nyquil hangover big time - plus the new meds are NOT setting well w/my tummy all in all I feel like a big ole pile of crap! and I am taking sudafed - which I dont like b/c i think it contributes to my kidney stones - ggrrrr - but it cant be helped right now - I did manage to bang out AB anyway tho! probably didnt help things tho
Lori - my goodness - how long did all that take you?? that is a lot of working out!!!---- what is bad about my friend she is YOUNG - she is only 30 .. and her sister w/cancer is around 35 or so .. so ya .. young girls .. at any age it is tuff to get that news .. but that is really young to handle that kind of news - -
Jacque - WTG on the consecutive workouts!! woohoo - hoping the back keeps cooperating for you - watch the plank work in the core work tho!!! Thanks Re: my friend - she is pitiful - she seems a bit better today - but sooo sad -
Wendy - ya that class sounds more like a bootcamp class than crossfit - were they timing you and yelling at you to do it as fast as you can??? sorry had to laugh at you standing "all marvelously sweaty n stank" ... LOLOLOLOL... I know exactly what you mean!!!
DI - well that is a good time on the run considering you are running on a bum knee!!! WTG!!!!! may have to watch the knee if you do do that Combat LBBO .. it moves FAST!

Good Morning
Quick check in for me this morning. We are all getting ready to head out. Today I seriously have to get my sweet tooth under control. I keep buying bags of garbage and stashing it in my car! Last night I felt all bloated but I think it was b/c of TTOM, not b/c of the trash I stuffed in my pie hole...hmmmm....pie
Last night was chest double trouble, 15 mins on the TM, the rest of CF and core #1.
Jacque** I like tabata. Some of the moves I don't care for. There are a few moves in CF I don't care for either but all in all it's a pretty good workout...I really enjoy the way it's broken up. Well, if I get a 3 month supply of wen the next time, it will cost me over $100 plus shipping and handling. I wish I could buy the styling crew on its own cause I think that's what's making the most dif.
Wendy** I saw the hip thrust last night in the guide but didn't do it...thought about it though but I guess that doesn't count. Maybe tonight! Friday is suppose to be my rest day but I took a rest day on wed. Are you doing any interning this weekend? How many more hours do you need?
Diana** how is your knee today? That really sucks. That happens a lot with injuries...they are always stiff/tight in the morning. My knee was hurting yesterday cause I was sat to long. I'm not use to sitting for long periods anymore.
Laura** hopefully you are feeling better today! That is terrible about your friend! I've heard that breast cancer before age 40 isn't usually good. But hopefully things have changed and new research will help!
K...this gal needs to scoot!

Hi Ladies,
I don't want to get too excited, but my weight is down a couple of pounds this morning. I've gone back to taking salads for lunch and adding a can of tuna or chicken to it, it must be helping. I've also done a few double workouts this week, but I don't want to depend on that to keep the weight coming off since it's unrealistic to do all the time.
Bootcamp was awesome last night! I considered not going but made myself and am so glad I did. We did 5-10 sets of stairs carrying db's, (12#), weighted walking lunges, dips, walking pushups, burpees, db swings, squat-lift up on toe-lift other leg, ab work all in a circuit format. I was a sweaty mess. After showering I iced my knee and slept with a compression brace it last night. It feels so much better today.
A cardio w/o TBD is on tap for this morning. I hope to hit the gym for bodypump this afternoon. I see the sun just peaked through so perhaps a short run this morning would be good.
Laura-hope you feel better soon. Is there a lot of side to side motion in Combat? The shuffling is a no no for me so I just marched in place. Perhaps the HIIT Power, haven't tried that one yet.
TG-just keep checking in with us, we are full of Mojo! We may all be doing a different rotation and at different points in our life, but we motivate and encourage each other in all aspects.
bbl to see what everyone is up to today. I'm working from home today!
