Daily Check In July 2, 3, & 4

Good morning all - Its cloudy and grey here today. I'm suppose to go to a picnic early this afternoon. Hope clouds break up and sun comes through :cool:

Today I did SP 90 Optimal Ball. Good workout. Some of those moves are tough.

Enjoy the day!

Hi Carmen - hello everyone,

Today I tried out Michelle Doizois's cardio interval burn - I did the warm up + 4 intervals. I couldn't finish it. I found it kinda boring. I will definitely try it again. there's an awful lot of hopping. I am tired today too - kids slept in my bed.

I also did STS Total Body - Upper Body only. That's a goody. I love Cathe.

I hope it doesn't rain on your picnic. what a nice idea.

Back to studying. It's getting closer.

Hi Ladies,

Carmen - Good with with S90. Those workouts creep up on you don't they?

Siobhan - I feel the same way about Peak 10. Boring!

Today was Upper Body - BM 2 Double Upper Body premix and 30 minute walk with Sherman. Heading out to a graduation party later, it is hot, humid, and will probably storm this evening!

Is it me, or is it odd that we are not hearing anything about the Orlando roadtrip? No video feed, no Cathe messages, pictures...or am I missing something?
 
Orlando Trip

Connie some road trip pics under cathe nation. Looks like fun.

Hi!

Late check-in for me. This morning I did Jillian's No More Trouble Zones. I followed that up with a low impact version of Clean Max. After that, we headed out to an early 4th of July picnic. I didn't eat too much food, but I did enjoy a few adult beverages :p;):D

Carmen ~ Thanks for getting us started!

Siobhan ~ Good luck with the studying.

Conni ~ Looks like we are having the same weather.

Did anyone head over to Total Fitness DVDs - Your Total Source for Fitness ?? I picked up 7 new workouts for under $35. :D:D Hurry on over, sale ends July 4th.
 
Good Sunday morning - got up late today. Abs are sore and I'm not sure if that's from the Ball workout I did yesterday or the girl teaching us bellydancing moves at the picnic yesterday. :eek:

Today I took a fast walk with the dogs...its awfully hot today. I hope to have enough energy to do BM2 (the last workout of the June rotation).

Tammy - I also tried to not over eat at the picnic. But then I was introduced to a shot called "chocolate cake". Its frangelica and vanilla vodka with a lemon wedge dipped in sugar :p I only had one it does taste like chocolate cake. BTW what DVD's did you get?

Have a great day ladies.

Ps: Bm2 done!

Carmen.

Good for you Carmen for getting your workout in. It's hot here too. I bought two more Tracey Effinger DVD's in the sale (Squeeze DVD's OMG I am loving Squeeze Stronger) and another by Tracey Mallett - a pilates one. My DH was supportive 'cos he caved and bought the Turbo Tower for P90X which he is doing. Wow. He already looks trimmer - how can that be? I workout all the time - nothing. He works out straight for three weeks and he practically disappears. Where's the justice!

Anyway... today I did Tracey Mallett's Booty Barre (drenched in sweat 'cos of the heat). I really liked it. I love Barre workouts and can't wait for Cathe's to arrive. I am certain it will be great.

enjoy your long weekend everyone. I am back to work tomorrow but off Tuesday.
 
Happy Sunday!

I love three day weekends :D This morning I did 60 minutes on the treadmill alternating hills and sprints. I finished up with the push-ups I was supposed to do on Friday :rolleyes:

Carmen ~ The chocolate cake shots sound very interesting. I bet your abs are sore from the bellydancing...that was one heck of a picnic you went to, eh? I picked up some pilates dvd's and a few Ellen Barrett dvd's.

Siobhan ~ ITA about how quickly men lose weight...so not fair.

Have a good night all! Does anyone here watch True Blood?
 
Just wanted to show you the Christmas earrings I just made...simple project. Bought the kits online. These are "sisters" gifts.

Tammy - i'm going to check out the DVD site. I really need a pilates or new yoga dvd.

Good night all.

Carmen.

Hi Ladies,

Siobhan - Glad you are enjoying Squeeze. I had those for awhile and then traded them away. I got bored with them and really hoped Tracey would produce more dvds.
I did like them, but I just wanted more and got tired of the same routine. I get bored easily, so that is no affront to Tracey.

Yesterday was Hiit Pyramid Wave, then Core Dynamics from S90.
Today was an oldie on my rest day - Paula Abdul Get up and Dance!

Happy Fourth!
 
Happy 4th of July!!

Today is kettlebells, pushups and ab work. We will probably head out to the mall this afternoon as I need to pick up a baby shower gift. Tonight we are going to the fireworks downtown.

Siobhan ~ I picked up some Ana Caban and Ellen Barrett.

Conni ~ Your workout this morning sounds fun!


Have a good one!!
 
Good morning this will be a rest week for me. This morning is A.M. Yoga and later tonight another yoga or stretch.

Tammy I got 3 DVDs from the site you recommend. Yoga, pilates and a belly dancing one :eek:

Have a great day everyone.

Carmen
