Good Morning Glories!

:D :D TGIF :D:D

CC#3 and abs for me today.

Jane ~ We are just going to have to come visit you and have a group workout session! I bet your kitchen looks fabulous...I can't wait to see it.

Have a good day ladies!
 
Good morning!

:) Tammy, I definitely need an intervention. They are laying my backsplash next week. I'll take pictures after that and post them on my picture trail.

I got up at 3:45 and worked an hour. Hopefully, I can work out when I get off. I'll check in later.
 
I'm feelin' B&G today ladies...I have time to change my mind though so let's see what happens!:7 :7 :7

Have a great day!
 
Hey everyone,

Jane, that kitchen sounds great, we want pics!!

Phyllis - Share all about your class today, I am jealous.

Today was B & G premix 3, and the stability ball workout. This was my first time with that premix, and it probably my least favorite. There is no warm up ( which I really don't like), and it is the same few exercises over and over and over ( literally!). I am sure it is a great toner, but how many times can I do walking lunges and one legged lunges on the step???

Okay, I am over that now. Have a good day.
 
I am envious of you all, especially Phyllis. Ever since returning from the roadtrip I have had this lovely cold that has sidelined me. I suppose I could have tried lifting the ol' barbell but sneezing all over it wouldn't be good. So enjoy your workouts today and think of poor lil' ol me honking and sneezing the week away. Hopefully by tomorrow I can manage a light w/o.
 
Conni, I know what you mean about that premix. I don't like the lack of warmup either. It suprises me that there isn't a warmup!

Patti, go get some chicken noodle soup. I know it's warm outside, but there's nothing like a little Jewish penicillin!

Class was great. Cathe recognized me from the RT! She turned around and pointed to me! I felt so special! It wasn't quite the same without the rest of the gang, but still fun. She did the same moves we did in our class. I hope to go back again soon. It's a 30 mile trip one way - not bad- but the route is the same one used by the shore goers. I hit traffic on the way home.

Off to the showers!

Daily Check-in

I am back! If you read the “novel” I posted in Open Discussion Monday, you already know that the Road Trip was an amazing and life-changing experience for me. There are no words to adequately describe the glory of that weekend. I will never be the same!

I am back in the game, fired up, doing the happy dance, and ready to blast off the rest of this fat. I have been battling the blues and missing Cathe and my beloved Road Trip sisters all week. I was so sad that I simply could not bring myself to unpack my bags and did not even bother to wash my hair all week. My last workout was Sunday morning, so it was not sweaty. I just pulled it up and went to work. Cathe’s message yesterday made my heart smile and inspired me to do the happy dance with her this morning.

I woke up early this morning, enjoyed my quiet time, opened my suitcase, pulled out the outfit and shoes I wore last Friday for my very first live Cathe step class, and got ready to do the happy dance. Body Max 2 was still in my DVD player. I did it the Saturday before the Road Trip. I have not been consistent with my workouts this month. Oh well. I still dropped 3 pounds in Catheland and have kept it off during this week of less than stellar eating.

I opened my autographed Rhythmic Step case and did the happy dance with Cathe and crew to start this Friday morning. Fun, fun, fun. I have more than one copy of this on VHS, but I am so glad I bought the DVD in Jersey last week. I was able to go straight from the warm-up to the challenge! I love it. I smiled the whole time, and my heart and mind were filled with warm memories. Rhythmic Step was perfect for my first workout after such an intense high.

I took a shower this morning with my special road trip shower gel and washed my hair. I got back on track with clean eating this morning too, but I am planning to enjoy a piece of cheesecake next Saturday for my birthday. By the way, my workout clothes smell like my cherry blossom body spray after a week in my suitcase! The secret is wearing plenty of body spray so you sweat sweetly!

I feel so out of touch with everyone, and I am looking forward to checking in again. I love y’all!

Tammy, I wish we had more time together last weekend. It was good to meet you. Thank you for the Cabot cheese!

Jane, seeing your precious avatar made my heart smile!

Wendy, I am sorry I almost blew your cover. I was so excited to see you that I could not contain my joy!

Phyllis, I wish I could have joined you for Cathe’s advanced step class this morning. Thank you for being my shopping assistant last Friday.

Conni, I hope you can attend the Road Trip next year.

Beavs, it was good to meet you too.

Blessings,
Heather B.
