Have not gotten in a workout yet, had to go to a meeting at the HS at 7:30am. All of oldest DD's teachers gave her very good responses, and they said that she should do well in college.

Last night I did get in my ab workout, and did BC Core Only. I also did the Double Hiit from the Intensity workout. That was a bit different than her Hiit from SC, and my knees where sore afterward. I never seem to have that problem with Insanity or SC Hiit. :confused:

Have a great day!

The Wisconson Dells area alway sounds like so much fun Laurie! A family from dd's school always drives down every summer as they enjoy it so much!

Was that high school shooting anywhere close to you? How sad that was.

Is the Double HITT a premix from the new workout? What do you think caused the knee pain?

LIC done this evening, I always enjoy this workout.

Only 2 more sleeps till Mexico!
 
Morning Coolers,

Last night I did Insanity Sports Conditioning, was a little tough to get through. :rolleyes: This morning was P90X Back & Biceps along with Barry's Bootcamp Mission Specialist Advanced Abs.

Kim, I bet you are getting ready to head out the door as soon as you can. ;) I'm guessing that you will have a wonderful time. That school was up by the Wisconsin/Michigan border. I'm in the southeast portion of the state. Yes that was very tragic, I'm just thankful that is wasn't worse. Cathe doesn't have the Hiit seperate, so I just did the beginning portion of the premix that has the Double Hiit. I don't know what moves in the DVD made my knees sore, I have had not problems from doing Insanity and a lot of the moves where very similar.

Have a great day!
 
Afternoon Coolers

Been a busy few days at work and at home. No w/o so far I think this week - I can't remember now:eek: Last night we took the insulation out of our basement as it was being sprayed today. B/C of the fumes we can't be in the house for 24hrs so we're staying at a hotel tonight. DS is excited as we're staying at his favourite - the one with the big green H on the top of it!:D

Kim - I guess one more sleep for you then its fun in the sun!

Laurie - yikes on the sore knees. The good news is your DD is excelling in shool though. How are you finding the picture quality of the new DVDs. I've seen where some people are finding them fuzzy. I see working out with a big 50" t.v. is too big and makes everything look fuzzy. I'll now to stick to a 30" when I finish my w/o room next year.
 
Just wanted to pop in and say goodbye. We're going to be up early for our flight! (taxi is coming at 5 am:confused:) DH is taking his laptop and there is supposed to be Wifi so I might check in.

Did do IMAX 2 this morning before work to finish off the Nov. rotation.
 
Have a great vacation Kim
​
Yeah, my DVDs came in the mail yesterday. I think I'll try doing Cathe's Dec. rotation starting tonight.​
 
Box'n'Flow with Kimberly Spreen was done last night, and today was PY4H Magically Hips.

Patricia, I have a really small tv, don't even know what size really. It is also not HD. I think that some of the picture quality could be coming from those people who do not have the HD TV's, they will get a poorer quality picture because of that. I should stick the DVD's into the BlueRay upstairs and see how that goes. ;)

Kim, Have a great time!

Have a great day!
 
Just finished STS TB. Wow, what a w/o, especially for the legs. We're suppose to be able to do Intensity tomorrow:eek: It makes up for the easy afternoon I had today. A supplier took some of us out for lunch then on to the pool hall for the rest of the day. Only need a ride back to work to get my car at 5pm. I only had 1.5 drinks so no issue with driving.

I changed the aspect on my DVD player as I felt the video was a bit fuzzy. I still think it might be but it could be partly due to the big screen and standing right in front of it to w/o. I notice that with my others. I didn't have any sounds quality issue. Some say to hear the music they had to really turn up the volume, but then Cathe's voice was too loud. I'll find out tomorrow with the cardio as there is where it would be more of an issue I think.

Laurie - is that a new KS w/o? Not sure if I've heard of it before. Did you get Eionns new yoga dvd (or is it still in the pre-sale stage?)
 
I'm just getting ready to head downstairs to do P90X Legs & Back along with some type of ab workout. Will decide on that when I get down there. I also would like to get in some cardio after youngest dd's ballet classes are done. That should be sometime after 4pm. Yes she has over 2 hours of class. :rolleyes:

Patricia, Everyone in our office was out at a get together yesterday afternoon, so I was the only person in the office. :D Funny part was one of my bosses had to stay behind for a big wig tour, and when he was leaving he shut the lights off and locked me in the office. :D I'm still laughing about it, I'm just glad that I was in the office so that I wouldn't have to call security to let me back in. :eek: After that I figured that was a hint to leave early. ;)

Have a great day, and hopefully I will be able to post later about what workout I decided to do for abs and cardio.
 
Too funny Laurie:D I know what its like to be locked out. I hate when I forget my passcard and have to knock on the door and wait for someone passing by to hear me to let me in. You would have been waiting a long time!

Took DS to get his pic taken with Santa. Last year he was too scared but not this year! He understands what its all about now I tell you! Making a new recipe out of a slow cooker magazine I bought. Its all done and cooking now - crossing my fingers it tastes good.

Off to do Intensity. My legs are soooo sore from yesterday - mainly hams and butt!
 
Ola from Mexico!
Absolutely beautiful here! The beach is amazing! We may never leave! Long day of travelling to get here and sort of scary airport with a ton of military presence close to the airport. So strange going from cold/snow to tropical beaches, quite a shock to the system. Today we did lots of swimming, relaxing, drinking (and eating). DD and I went for pedicures and the boys are off playing tennis.

Tomorrow we may try some kayaking. DS really wanted to go parasailing but now that he sees how high they go, he's not so sure.
 
Kim - I'm sure it was quite a shock. I saw how much snow you had on the news the other day and thought how much you must be enjoying the sun. Usually at this time we're in our snow suits and boots but we've only had a small dusting of snow so far. Have fun in the sun and water.

I'm in soooo much pain walking up stairs. I can barely make it. Just love the music in Intensity and everytime I was ready to quit I would say just go a little longer and before I knew it we were finished. Today was Lower Body Blast and I went light on the weights:p So far these have been winners, though lots of fast changes in STS - TB I paused a lot for set-up.
 
Morning Ladies,

Well I woke up on Sunday morning with my arms over my head, and then during the day I started getting a sore shoulder. Don't know if that was the culprit or not. Saturday I also got Jillian's BFBM along with the P90X Legs & Back. Figured BFBM had enough core work in it so didn't need to ad an ab workout also. This morning to test my shoulder I just did 10 Min. Solutions Rapid Results Fat Burner, just the sports drills, intervals and kickboxing sections. I also did Bodymax 2 Abs. After work I would like to see if my P90X Chest & Back workout can get done without any pain. Had some pain while doing jumping jacks during the morning workouts.

Patricia, That is great the ds is not afraid of Santa anymore. How did that slow cooker recipe turn out? Ouch on the lower body! ;) I was wondering how STS TB was going to be after looking at the clips. Guess it is good to go through a run through before hand. Did you have the workout sheet with it? Do they even have that one available?

Kim, Glad to hear that you are enjoying your time in the sun. We got about 4 inches of snow on Saturday, so at least we have all the brown ground covered up. Now it is really cold. :confused: Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and it sure is nice hearing from you.

Have a wonderful day!
 
Ouch on the lower body Patricia! Something for me to look forward too!

Laurie Well you know that snow had to come sometime!

OKAY, the laptop is giving me a low battery warning so quick post.

Beautiful weather, awesome beach. DD and I did some painting on pottery on the beach today! We did some kayaking at the resort!! The water is crystal clear!

We took a small boat ride out to the reef and did some snorkelling! We saw tons of fish, coral, and 2 starfishes! DS and I loved it!! DD got freaked out my the school of fish surrounding her and DH took her back to the boat.

Have seen some evening shows. DH won us some prizes on "Name that TUne" and last night was a MIchael Jackson tribute which was okay but some drunk audience members were a distraction.
 
Morning Coolers,

Shoulder felt great this morning so I got in Insanity Max Interval Sports Training. Will get the Chest & Back workout done tonight, the shoulder was still giving me grief last night.

Kim, Sounds wonderful, and I wish I was there. ;) So dang cold around here right now. :p Keep having fun.

Have a great day!
 
Gosh its cold everywhere now:eek: We don't have snow, but an hour north of us it snowed all weekend. So glad to be in the "south":D Took DS to his final swimming lessons for the year. He is fighting a cold but I didn't want him to miss as that'll be it until January. No gas in the tank last night afterwards so I rested:(:D

Tonight I have to practice 2 speeches that have to be 3-5min. long. I'm in a 2-day Powerful Presentation seminar at work designed to help you feel comfortable talking in front of an audience. Its part of our continuing education they encourage here. One of my topics is about home fitness. I think I'll be an advertisement for Cathe :):D

Laurie - Yep, STS TB has a w/o card. I think there were only 2 or 3 excercises that didn't have our 1RPM calculated. Glad to hear your shoulder is feeling better. My rotator has been bothering me again a bit so just trying to do extra stretching.

Kim - LOL about DD being afraid of the fish. That's okay b/c I remember not wanting to walk in the water at the beach b/c of all the minnows and would only jump in off the dock. As if they weren't in the deeper water too:rolleyes: Glad to hear you're having a great time.

Since I skipped last night I can't decide if I should do last nights w/o or go on with what's on tap for tonight. Thurs. night will have to be a rest day as it's our dep't Xmas party. Going to Medieval Times
 
Morning Coolers,

P90X Chest & Back was just fine last night, and P90X Shoulders, Biceps and Triceps was done this morning without any pain. This is the last time for these two workouts in my rotation, can't believe it. :D

Patricia, Hope your ds is able to fight that cold off! Sounds like you have a good comfortable topic for your speeches, I usually only have to give presentations. As I have gotten older it has been easier to do things like that in front of people. Good luck and hope you enjoy some of those speeches you are probably going to have to listen to. ;) I have never been to the Medieval Times that is just south of us. :eek:

Kim, Keep having fun in the sun!

Have a wonderful day!
 
It's funny, the longer we are here, the lazier we get,LOL. It now seems so much work to actually walk from the buffet to the beach that we have to stop at the hammock for a siesta:rolleyes:

Not much too say, it's beautiful, we swim, eat, sleep and then do it again. Very relaxing! Yesterday we did walk into the town of Playa del Carmen for some shopping. Very interesting experience.
 
Morning Coolers,

Last night I got in Coremax #2. Today was StretchX, because my upper body needed some TLC after doing those P90X workouts back to back. ;)

Tonight we have the youngest Christmas concert for choir. I'm interested in how her group will do, it is all girls.

Kim, LOL about the siesta, guess that is from the amount of heat. Must make one tired.

Have a great day!
 
Sorry, this will be a fly-by. I'm just too wound up from giving speeches over the last 2 days. There were not only prepared speeches, but impromtu speeches then a big Team Presentation at the end.

I have a headache and need a drink really badly right now.

Oh, my speech on fitness went great. Even demonstrated the gliding disc which got a lot of interest!
