FANTASTIC KIM
I can only imagine how relieved you are and that it didn't drag out! Now there is nothing to interfer with your workouts (see how I'm cracking the whip:p) Well, I guess you have some packing to do!

Just finished my workout - Kathy Smith Project You circuit. Much quieter week at work now that the dust has settled for year-end. You can tell the company is getting ready for the holiday season. I've been invited to a Dept Lunch next month and a project team dinner in 2 weeks! It's all about the partying from here until the New Year:D


Laurie - I've gotten lots of compliments on my hair + it's easy to take care of. So can't go wrong there. I can barely tuck in the shortest strands though behind my ear so I've already had to add extra hair clips for working out in. I hate hair in my eyes! We have a G.C. to use up to buy new sink taps and just keep putting it off. I don't think I want to be around for when they get installed:p but DH should be an old hand at it as he had 3 taps to install at the cottage:D He is starting to call around to contractors to talk about finishing the basement so I guess I'll be packing up this weekend in anticipation of starting.

Off to see the news about the shipping date of the DVDs
 
:confused:PACKING!!!:( Forget it, I need some R&R. I'm going to enjoy some beach time in Mexico then Christmas before worrying about packing. I can't get too worried about packing although people keeping mentioning how much work it is. I guess the last time we moved (18 years ago ) we were 23 and moving from an apartment to our first home. There wasn't much to move!

Glad that your having some fun times at work now Patricia. Christmas season sure seems to be amping up. Tons of store flyers in today's papers all with Christmas stuff!

You're packing the basement up all ready?? How quickly will they be starting?

Tomorrow's a stat holiday for us!
 
Morning Coolers,

P90X Back & Biceps along with Jackie Warners Abs from Power Circuit. I feel like a broken record. :D This is my last weight workout, because next week is my recovery. Only 6 more weeks of this P90X Hybrid, and it has truly gone quickly. At this point in previous P90X rotations, I was ready to quit. ;)

Kim, Congrats on selling the house, that has to be a great stress relief for you and your DH. Now you can enjoy your time in Mexico.

Patricia, Sounds like you will be having alot of eating time going on in the next month. :D We don't get those kind of thing to much around here, they really try to watch the $ spent on that type of thing. I don't like hair in my face when working out either.

Have a great day!
 
Laurie, you are so good for sticking to your Insanity/P90X rotations. I stick to them but with lots of complaining:rolleyes: Maybe it's going faster with the mix of the two series. I'm sure you will be ready for your recovery week. So you'll finish up right around Christmas time.

Yesterday was Body Max 2 upper body only. Today I'll finish up the first week of the November rotation with Double Wave HITT and Ab circuits Stability ball abs.

Today is Remembrance Day and all schools and most work places are closed up so we all have the day off. The kids have tomorrow off as well. DH and I are planning to go over to my mom's and collect some of our "clutter" now that we have sold the house.
 
Last night's w/o was Kathy Smith's Functional Fitness - 2mins of interval bursts with compound moves for recovery - mainly leg work like squats - my tush is talking to me today. Tonight will be some sort of cardio with UB work.

DH had someone into look at our duct work yesterday and someone today to look at insulating the basement. We have only 8' ceilings so not much room with the duct work in the area intended for my w/o room so I've decided to keep one of the spare bedrooms as my w/o room. I don't want to have to worry about scraping my knuckles on the ceiling while on the step:p I can't believe how low our basement ceiling is:mad:

Kim - invest in wardrobe boxes! The best thing for packing up your closets! Two days off??? WTH - we don't get today off but I see some Councilor has submitted a bill this week to have it designated as a holiday.

Laurie - I was thinking about P90X the other day but I just not sure I can commit to 3mo of doing only 12 w/os. I should pull out them though and do some of them. Hmm, maybe next week since I'm taking a break from Cathe.
 
Patricia, I would lend you P90X if you want to try it!

I have to work tomorrow only the kids have it off. It's funny that Ontario has never had it as a holiday.

Somebody at work was just telling me about wardrobe boxes, sounds like a good idea.
 
Afternoon Coolers,

Yoga X for me this morning, and then I got the family room vacuum and the kitchen floor scrubbed. Right now I'm watching reruns of Burn Notice so I can get in sync with the season premier tonight.

Kim, I'm off today for Vetrans Day, and took tomorrow off as vacation. Even though I was cleaning today, it had to get done. I think it has been better mixing in other things with P90X.

Patricia, If you do decide to do P90X I would suggest just doing the weight workouts. Do other cardio, I think that is what has made this rotation better. I didn't have to work out with Tony everyday.;) I have a light fixture in my workout room that I hit when I use my step. That is not fun when you hit your knuckles.

Have a wonderul day!
 
Enjoy your extra long weekend! Lots of coworkers took today off to make a long weekend but I decided to save holidays for Mexico, Christmas, move.;) Kids have no school today so I don't have to do the long drive and it's the rest day on my rotation so lots of R&R time this morning.
 
Hey, both of you had yesterday off! Ontario had it once, as I remember being off when I was a kid. I don't remember when we lost it as a statutory holiday. Personally, I think adults should get it off, but kids learn more about the day I think through school events.

Last night was Charlene Prickett - Hang in There - a 30min Hi impact aerobic that I have on VHS. An oldie but a goodie but my plantar fascitis was talking to me this a.m.:( After thats was Kathy Smith Project You - UB and abs. My shoulders are talking to me today too!:) Rest night for me tonight.

Kim - I have P90X and tried it 2x and kept getting a rotator cuff injury. I think next will be a week of Tony.

Laurie - you should have a fun weekend with having your housework all done already:p Good way to kick it off with starting a new show.
 
I always forget that you have P90X. You are doing some older workouts this week. Many of them bring back some memories!

I started week 2 of the Nov. rotation yesterday with Butts and Guts (did a switch with L&G which is on the schedule for later in the week). Easier to get the longer workout done on the weekend. Today I just finished Step Blast.:D:D

Got less space in my workout area as dd decided to put up the Christmas tree. :rolleyes: Way too early for me. We were bringing some of our "clutter" back from my mom's and she spotted the Christmas decorations. She started putting up the tree with ds when DH and I were at work Friday:rolleyes: She decorated it yesterday while I did Butts and Guts which was nice to have company during that long workout. Then in the evening she wanted to wrap Christmas presents so I gave her a few that I bought on the bus trip. So it's early but I didn't have to do any of it:cool:
 
LOL Kim - I put up our Xmas tree this weekend too! Mainly to help declutter the basement. I emptied my w/o room into my bedroom so all ready to start moving boxes from the basement upstairs.

Did not w/o at all this weekend. Just no motivation + lack of energy. I have a DRs appt tonight and want to have my blood work taken and check my iron levels again. We bought a new 50" Plasma t.v. yesterday and got it installed in our bedroom. It's huge but intended for our basement. I'll be able to see every raised vein in Cathe's biceps up close:eek::) Our main t.v. seems to be going on the fritz now too! Its a projection t.v. and the colour is "off" Wondering if a tube has "gone".:(
 
Just finished PLB, I haven't done this one in a very long time. It's still a tough workout!

Patricia, hopefully your blood levels are okay!

So one new tv just as another one is going? I find it very motivating to have a large tv for working out!

Did you book your cruise? That terrible explosion in Mexico is just down the street to where we are going in a couple of weeks:confused:
 
Just finished up Cardio and Weights - a nice light workout. My 1st since Thursday night:confused: Got to "observe" DS class for 1hr today. Fun to watch the routine at school and see him participate.

Kim - no cruise booked yet - we really can't decide what we want to do - even if we're going to go on vacation this winter, especially since we're going to LV in March. Yikes on the close proximity of the explosion.
 
Morning Coolers,

Sorry to be MIA, but little sleep, having a headache and a sore tooth have made me a little cranky. :rolleyes: Feeling pretty good this morning, took some meds for the tooth. ;) Every once in a while the tooth that needs a root canal gives me problems, and it seems today is it's day.

I'm on recovery week, so Monday was Core Cardio & Balance. Nothing yesterday. This morning was Core Synergistics.

Dang I feel like I'm behind, nothing to do with Christmas has yet to enter the upstairs of of my house. That probably is because we have not had Thanksgiving yet.

Kim, That is very scarry what is going on in Mexico lately. I'm sure that your trip will be all good. That is nice that you didn't have to do all that work, and you have some festive atmosphere in your house. ;)

Patricia, That must have been fun to be in your ds's classroom. We are getting a new tv for our bedroom also, but not that big. LOL :D

Have a great day!
 
Cathe had 3 leg workouts in 5 days and my legs are feeling it! Today was L&G and yesterday was KPC. Doing well with getting up and working out in the morning.

Isn't it fun to see the kids in the classroom! I used to volunteer occasionally, it's interesting to see them in a different setting. I always said that spending time with other kids made me appreciate mine more:rolleyes:

Laurie, oh no on the the tooth! Are you getting the root canal soon?? I'm sure that Thanksgiving is what triggers the Christmas season in the USA. Don't worry you have lots of time yet! Enjoy that recovery week!
 
Morning All

Last night was Michelle Dozois's YBB - Rockin Cardio - I really like this low/hi aerobic w/o - it's about 50min and goes by fast.

Laurie - I might get the Xmas decorations out early but they go down New Years Day! By then I've had enough:p Hope you get that tooth looked after soon.

Kim - DS says to me this a.m. - I'm a good boy in class - I think he really liked seeing us there. The teacher says he hangs out with the quieter boys - which I'm okay with! It also gave me an opportunity to go through the Lost & Found bin for his hat - which we didn't find:( I can't believe the jackets and sweaters in that bin. How do you lose a winter jacket!!!
 
Morning Coolers,

Feeling so much better this morning, and I started my day with Insanity Cardio Recovery. ;)

Kim, Cathe really knows how to work those legs good doesn't she. I'm getting the tooth taken care of on Friday, so only one more day.

Patricia, That is so cute what your DS said. :) I wonder how you can't miss your kid not having a winter jacket. :eek:

Have a wonderful day!
 
Morning All

What a busy day at work I had - ended up working late but still got in a w/o. Did M. Dozois YBB - Upper Body - it's only 30min and uses 8's 12's and the resistance band. Quick w/o but I don't feel exhausted afterwards. Do you think if you don't feel spent after a w/o that you didn't get a good one in? I'm going to take it easy for the next week or so while I wait for Cathe's new DVDs to arrive. I'm sure even if they ship on time it'll be mid Dec. b/4 I see them up in the Great White North:(

Laurie - hope your dentist appt goes by FAST.
 
Morning Coolers,

Today was Kristin McGee's Power Yoga.

Patricia, It's to bad that the DVD's will take so long to get to you. If they ship them out this weekend, I should have mine next week some time. Have you gotten Michelle's Peak 10 workouts, I have heard some great things about them. I'm planning on ordering them from Totalfitnessdvd.com when she has her Thanksgiving sale next week. My appointment is suppose to be 2 hours long, that is what the dentist scheduled me for. :(

Have a great day!
