Coolers ~~Waiting for STS

Morning All

When I was backing out of the driveway this am. I noticed something hanging from the front door knob and got excited when I saw that Canada Post had a package for me, however, it says I owe $37.19:mad: If this is STS or the replacement DVD that I ordered from Beach Body for CLX then it looks like I'm paying duty:mad::mad: Anyhow, I can't p/u until after 1pm so looks like I'm taking a late lunch today:p:p
 
I'm sure hoping this will be the day that it arrives! My family sure hopes so too ;);) I've had such a lazy week hardly excercising at all so I'll be all rested up to get started as soon as it arrives.

Patricia So cute on the pedicure colour. It's fun to take dd now and go for pedicures together. I still have the little flowers painted on my big toes from before our cruise. Only one more week!! I was laughing yesterday that it was -1 in Orlando and -4 here in Wpg, I hope my sister is still having fun even with the cool weather.

Jeanette Please feel free to start without me Monday! I would go crazy having STS and not being able to start. I still have my fingers crossed that I'm going to start with you Monday.

Hope to do the kettlebell work later. Have grocery shopping and dentist appt for kids on the schedule so lots of time to preview dvds if they arrive.

I knew I should stay home and wait for the mailman instead of going for groceries!! There was a note on my door saying Canada Post tried to deliver a package while I was out and there was $34.72 owing :rolleyes::rolleyes: It says it will be ready for pick up at the local post office tomorrow after 1pm but in past experience it's often there later the same day. So hopefully I can do some previewing tonight!!

So are we starting Monday, Jeanette?
 
Yeah, I got STS today. Yep had to pay $37.19 in taxes.

DH is gone this weekend so I guess instead of going to Blockbuster I've got 41 DVDs here to review instead!:):):)

I see it was mailed on Jan. 26th too. I was getting worried that maybe the postage type packages got put to the last and UPS orders were made a priority regardless of when you ordered but I should not have doubled Cathe!!
 
Busy previewing my STS!!

My mom is coming home tonight!!:D:D Her friend is coming by air ambulance and is scheduled to arrive at the ICU at the hospital where I work at 3am. She's not allowed to bring the luggage with them so she's trying to fiqure out how to send it home.
 
Good news Kim on all fronts. I've just had time to pop in disc 1 at work but just now did the Med Ball ab w/o. Its only 10 min and I loved it. Even matched Cathe with her 8# ball (well that's the only size I have:p) but did not have too much difficulty keeping up. I might do this one the most often seeing as its only 10min. I'm liking the strength gains that I've made with weighted ab w/o from CLX.

Painter is coming in tomorrow a.m. to measure the 2 rooms so he knows how much paint to buy. He'll paint while we're on vacation. Hmm, wonder if he'll move the furniture back too!

Waving hi to Jeanette & Laurie
 
Hi Coolers!

Yesterday's workout was High Step Challenge, today's was hi-lo from Amy Bento's Dome Challenge and then the hi-lo parts of SJP. It was fun. I'm feeling much better today. Have had a blah stomach since late last week, along with a bit of a cold.

Kim, so glad you got STS. I'm going to start it tomorrow as I'll have more time. I hate to waste a Saturday where I don't have to watch the clock. I only briefly previewed. I need to print out the workout card before I start.

Patricia, a condo in Florida sounds heavenly. How long are you going to be gone? I have to wait until September for a vacation I think. DH and I are going to the coast of Oregon. Are you starting STS too, or staying with CLX? LOL about green toenails.

Laurie, you busy or the kids won't let you on the computer?

DH is working overtime tomorrow so my plans are to do STS, clean house a little, then finish cutting out the fabric for my quilt. The weather has turned unpleasant so I won't be tempted to hop on my bike or play golf.
 
Okay, I'll start today as well Jeanette. I don't have much on the schedule for the weekend so it felt kind of silly to wait anyways. My legs are a bit sore from kettlebells yesterday.

Are you doing the 3, or 6 month rotation. I guess I will go with the 6 month.
 
Good Evening Cooler as I sip a cup of hot tea. I'm sick with a cold AGAIN:mad: Anyhow, managed to do Burn Intervals well 30 of the 40min and then called it quits. Glad I did my ab w/or last night.

Kim - you made a comment a while back about me being sick a lot and sometimes I do feel like that. I don't remember getting a good night sleep in about 4yrs so I think I'm must worn down. I'm a night owl and it's so hard having a kid who wakes up at 5:30-6am everyday:mad:

Okay, I'll live vicariously thru you 2 until I start up STS in April. Want to commit to CLX. I was thinking of taking CLX with me on vacation but now that I'm sick again maybe a good rest week is in order.

Jeanette - we leave on the 12th and not back home until the 22nd so about 1.5 weeks. :) A co-worker bought a condo close to Disney and now he is renting it out to people he knows. He even has a cleaning service come in after we leave so don't even have to worry about laundering the linens. There will be 2 other couples also and one of the couples have kids around DS age to expect to have a grand old time. Have fun cutting:D:D better you than me

Take care,
 
Hi Coolers,
I had a nice relaxing day. Got to sleep in this morning, then did Disk 1 of STS. I enjoyed doing it without having to look at the clock. Lots of equipment laying around. I did have to pause the DVD a number of times, but who cares? Lots of pushups, which I did mostly on my knees, but with good form. I enjoyed that you only do one set for each exercise. Think I will do one of the ab workouts tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a bike ride in during the morning. I finished cutting out all of the pieces for the quilt. Wednesday night will be sewing night. There are a TON of pieces to sew. Hope I didn't bite off too much. Also got some housework in so overall a nice day.

Patricia, so sorry that you've got a cold. I feel like I've been more sick lately myself. Shoot, I went 2 years without a cold at all just a couple years ago. This one I've got right now isn't a bad one, no sore throat with it and no cough, which I'm thankful about. Just drainage in my head. That sounds great about the condo. Hope your cold is all gone by then. Just keep resting. STS will be waiting for you. I'll be curious about the results you get from CLX. It sounds interesting to me.

Kim, did you start STS today? I enjoyed the music in this, even did the extended stretch, which felt good. I hear the #3 Leg workout is hard, but someone else said I'd enjoy it, though leg workouts aren't my favorite. I do like variety in leg workout, like in Butts and Guts.

Must go, not sure what's on the schedule for tomorrow, besides cycling. Will be off work on Thursday (Lincoln's Birthday), then furlough day on Friday, off Sat & Sun, then President's Day on Monday, so 5 days in a row off! Hope the weather warms up so I can enjoy the outdoors.

Stayed up late to try and download last weeks' episode of Lost. Once I did I tried to open it up but it was password protected so I guess who ever posted the download that it was fun joke - NOT:mad:

Thankfully today is Push Circuit #3 as its only 30min and I don't find just weight lifting w/o's too exhausting the same way a cardio w/o is when under the weather.

Jeanette - there I was feeling sorry for you that you vacation isn't until Sept. Not anymore with a 5 day off weekend:p So you Americans get 2 stat. holidays in Feb? In Ontario we just got a stat. holiday in the last couple years or it was long wait until Easter. One of the 1st things I'd do when flipping the calendar to Jan. was start counting the weeks to Easter especially since it keeps moving:p:p

Have to get out to do some errands at some point today. At least its sunny out. Might wait until DH gets home from Montreal so I don't have to take DS along and I can be quick.

Take care,
 
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!! I did Imax 2 this morning and yesterday I did start STS!:D I really enjoyed the first workout, but I did find it hard!! I think doing the 1RM definitely made me push myself harder and for the most part were fairly accurate. I also did the abs/no equip workout which I mostly enjoyed but some of the excercise were almost too difficult for me to do. It was hard to go back to the cardio today as I was all pumped to continue with STS.

My sister is heading down to Minneapolis next weekend so I have her checking some of the sporting good stores for a weighted vest.

Jeanette I have a short week at work as well. I only work Mon.Tues Thurs this week that's only because my position is parttime. Then next Monday is a holiday so lots of time to play with STS and stuff. Hoping your feeling well enough to enjoy your bike ride today.

Patricia I think you should just relax on your holiday and enjoy. Then you'll come back all refreshed and ready to finishe CLX and start STS.

Hope you're having a good weekend Laurie!

Just completed Push Circuit #3 along with Ab Burner then did the Extended Stretch from STS. Jury is still out on this one as there is no form cuing plus the music was so boring, almost reminded me of a funeral, so solemn. Spent a couple hours outside this a.m. playing in the snow. Nice sunny day out today.

Kim - good on you for disc #1 done, 36 more to go:D:D I've been thinking about a weighted vest too. I don't believe I've ever seen them in the stores here before. I thought I would while in Florida but then that might add too much weight to my luggage.

I'm just looking up at the time I last visited this site and it say Jan.28/09 - weird.

Anyhow hope everyone is having a good Sun.
