Hi All,

Am in no exercise mood today (TotM), but did L&G and the first 8 exercises of PlyoX. But I didn't really give it my all. I still have this slight pain at the back of my right knee. Like I pulled a muscle during my run yesterday. It's better then yesterday, so it's probably nothing.

Hope you'll all do better than I did today.

Dutchie

BTW, like Carole, I prefer Polar for an HRM.
 
Good morning Dutchie and everyone else,

This morning was Bootcamp. I only did a few of the terminator climbers, I don't want my heart rate to get too high and those make it skyrocket!

Dutchie- you better take it easy today just to be on the safe side.

Wendy-thanks for the scoop on PowerMax. Hey, that DVD could be a pregnancy gift;) I'm like you, I'd feel too guilty if I tried to skip out of work if I knew I could get there-darn conscience-it gets me every time.}(

Sandra- now that I am getting the hang of Christi's workouts I really like her. It's a nice change of pace and I think it will be great for pregnancy because my heart rate seems to stay pretty constant and not too high.

Charlotte- Hope your daughter is feeling better soon. Glad to hear it's not meningitis. Keep us posted.

Jes - how is your DH?

Have a great day everyone,
Wendy
 
Morning Everyone,

Boy miss one day on the check-in and you really fall behind on news. Congrats Wendy! Very exciting time.

Saturday I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend. It was her golden 24th. Her hubby decided to have it early. It's scary when I realize that I'm old enough to be her mother! LOL

Anyway Sunday was my day off. We where painting youngest DD's room. That was a workout all by itself. She picked lavender and cream. It is turning out very pretty.

I will be doing Bodymax tonight.

Happy Exercising,
Laurie Mac
 
Laurie Mac: that paint sounds pretty!

Wendy: thanks for asking about dh, he is getting worse and i think he is govong it to me, but i have that dr apt this morning and i am going to get a z-pack while i'm there and start it so i don't get dh's crap! he is on meds too but it started a s a cough and now it's moving around. he is a great patient though. never complains,just takes whatever medicine i give him and goes abot his work. i'm lucky i know! i like christie workouts too. i just have to mute them.

dutchie: hope you knee gets better soon!

Carole: what's up ?! i think i will get a massage today!

today for me is Imax2. i love this one. i think i am the only onw not about to have a fit over the waiting for HC. i came around after all of you pre-ordered and i haven't ordered it yet, so i'm not sweatin it.

happy monday everyone!

Good morning....

Jes....I just hate sharing colds like that! Yuk, we seem to do it too. A massage could even help as it gets all those toxins out of your body!! I'll try not to be jealous...x(

I am doing a 3-4 mile run depending on how my legs feel, some abs and then some upper body, not sure of what workouts yet. I am really looking forward to Hardcore as it is the first time I have preordered...:)...

Enjoy your day...:)...Carole
 
Don't laugh...but I just did triceps/biceps this morning and used the same amount of weights as Cathe for the very first time!!! I could not do this before, but felt strong this morning to go all the way. I am really excited I was able to keep up this time, but I am really toasted for sure right now! I am a little person...5'7 1/2" and weigh 115 pds so bear with me...I am getting there. I am going to do the LG this morning at 11am which is always easier for me then the upper body workouts. It is so cold here though that I just kept my sweatshirt on.

Wendy,

Thanks for asking about Ashley. She is slowly getting better. I thought her fever broke last night, but in the wee hours it went back up again...GEEZ! Her face looked swollen last night as well, but she does seem to be slowly getting better. I hope this is the last of it for sure! I don't like anyone to be sick...I would much rather it be me instead.
Charlotte~~
 
ARRRGGH!!!!! I just typed a very long email, doing my usual chatter to everyone, and I deleted it instead of posting it!!!! ARRGGH!!!

So, you get the abbreviated version for now, and maybe I'll take some time later on today to reiterate all I said (and it was my very best post yet, oh yes it was! You all missed out on the Post of The Century :)

This morning I did the 82min KPC/LG premix (#20). Felt terrific. Had a pre-workout smoothie, and it made a substantial difference to my energy levels and stamina. Feeling very good now.

Need some suggestions for fruit. I already eat, daily, blueberries, fresh pineapple, apple, banana, and cantaloupe. What's your favourite fruit?

You all are doing great workouts, even if they don't feel so great at the time. I love how consistent this group is; you are living proof that exercise is not torture.

Have a good day!
Sandra
 
Well, I'm finally back in the game and it feels WONDERFUL!!! I've decided to do a CTX rotation this week since I only get an hour every morning until DH's work scedule calms down and he can start taking the baby to daycare again. I had actually kind of forgotten what a good workout I get from these. I did All Step yesterday and Power Circuit this morning. I have to say that I truely and honestly HATE PLANKS!


Hope everyone has a great day!

Katie
 
Hi everyone,

Dutchie...sorry you weren't feeling up-to-par for your workout; but at least you did it!!:)

Jes, I do hope you don't catch your DH's sickness....we've had way to much of that on the forum lately!

Sandra...strawberries

Tonite I'll be headed to the gym: 60 min Shoulders, triceps & biceps.

have a great day
 
Good afternoon, ladies:

This is my very first check-in. I am hoping it will keep me honest! I love to work out, but sometimes I am lazy....

I am not quite on a rotation yet; I have been trying to have patience and get used to the workouts before I jump in with both feet. I feel like I am getting there, though.

This morning I did the Gauntlet from the Terminator. WOW, that was hard! I have some trouble with the IMAX footwork so was doing a lot of ups and downs trying to figure out what everyone else was doing, lol. The cute thing was, my five year old was working out with me. Ach, adorable.

Tomorrow is PUB with at least an additional 30 minutes of cardio (bike, probably, as I'll be at the gym).

Hope you are all staying warm - we have nearly two feet of snow here in Northeast PA.

Take care,
Marie
 
Hi Ladies,

I have been away for a while. I had an accident running. I tripped on a branch and fell flat on my face, my nose is fractured and I needed 20 stiches on the front of my nose, also my 3 front teeth were broken and my knees are bruised. This happended on Jan.12th and the plastic surgon took the stiches out on Monday the 17th it looks very good considering, my dentist also did a great job on my teeth. I will not be able to workout until this Wednesday so ladies wish me luck.

Josie
 
oh my... was there someone with you? That must have been a nightmare.

Good to hear you are doing better. Workout with a fractured nose... you got more charactar than me!

Dutchie
 
Hi Dutchie,

I was running with a group, so 3 people stayed with me until my running partner picked me up an took me to emergency. This happended in the evening and I did not get home until 1:30 AM.
 
I am so sorry, I feel so bad for you. Hope you are not in too much pain, or did you get painkillers? Hope you're being spoiled and pampered right now.

Good reminder of why I hate running in the dark! Can't see a thing.

Durchie
 
Josie, how awful, I am glad that you are on the mend.

Marie, welcome to the check in, please check in when you can.

I did PUB minus the abs, but did ALL Step Abs and Leaner Legs abs.

Even though my cycle still hasn't started (day 45) I am feeling more like myself didn't gain any weight even after going out to eat yesterday after church. I don't feel as bloated, the doctor says I can skip this month but I need to let them know when or if it starts.:D

Have a great day!!:7
 
Hi everyone!

Dutchie, you have inspired me to do L&G today...also, my upper body got enough of a workout from SHOVELMAX so I think I'm gonna give it a well deserved break}(

Josie, oh no that is terrible, sorry to hear you got roughed up so bad:-( I am glad that you were with people at the time and that you are on the mend though. What kind of pain meds are you on?

Sandra, you go prego girl:7 ! Cyber high five coming right atcha:D :D!! One of my all time favorite fruits are fresh blueberries...YUM!! Strawberries too....chocolate dipped especially, does that count??:+ }( :p

Marie, welcome to the daily check in thread!! We look forward to getting to know you:) By the way I totally empathize with you I'm in NJ and we got just about 2 feet as well, ughhhhx(

Annette, glad to hear you are feeling more like your old self...ughh looks like with our cycles we are damned if we do and damned if we don't!!
 
hi all! glad to see we are all chugin along....there is alot going on around here!!!

Josie: That sucks!!!! i am so sorry that happened to you! i hope you heal quickly and are not in any pain.

Carole: i had to cancel my massage b/c the dr sent me to get e-rays and it took forever!!!x( so you don't have to fight jealously any longer....today. i WILL be rescheduling.

Sandra: how could you delete your all time best post????? How inconsiderate!!! :p i hate when that happens. My favorite fruit is strawberries. i refuse to eat melons (excluding watermelon) and i can only gag down bananas if they are covered in PB.

Red: welcome in girlfriend!!!!

Sandy: are you sore from shovelmax? i had to laugh at you , but after all the times you have laughed at me, i feel no remorse!}(
aside from the music, how are you liking ctx?

i told dh ya'll hoped he felt better soon..thanks!

here's the doc's report on my headaches: (ya ain't gonna believe this)

he thinks i have a sinus infection, gave me new kick-ass antibiotics....here's the kicker....he did an xray of my head and it turns out i was born with no frontal sinuses!!!!!(the ones in your forehead) i have never had my head xrayed, so all this time no one has ever known. but b/c they are missing completely my other ones stay over-stuffed all the time. is'nt that wild?! my mother was shocked when i called to tell her. she said she always knew she should have had my head examined!!! :*
anyway, i am supposed to take these meds and see if that helps the headaches go away and depending on what else they find in the xray it could be non sinus related...

gotta go! imax2 is waiting for me!
