Good Sunday morning!

I did my one-hour yogazone Conditioning and Stress Release this morning. Even though it is Sunday, I got up at my regular 5am time because I have found that when I sleep in, I just can't get everything done, and therefore never get around to the yoga. So, I got up, did it, and made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. The smell of that got the rest of the household out of bed :)

I've been having a ball. In my efforts to modify, but still have varied and creative workouts, I ordered the Classics Vol 1 and Cardio Hits dvds y-day. I have all those workouts on VHS, but having the dvds will allow me to create a whole new set of premixes, of every length and intensity imaginable. As well, our set up allows me to play VHS tapes and dvds at the same time, so I can alternate between segments on VHS tapes, and dvds. Now that I've started down this road, it appears that the potential combinations are endless!! I can combine elements from up to four workouts at a time; yikes! How do I decide what to do???

Pg update: I'm still wanting to put pepper on all my food, even my popcorn last night. Until 3 days ago, I did not like pepper.

I'm going to come back a bit later and address all the ongoing conversations that I enjoy so much.

Talk to you soon!
Sandra
 
Morning Sandra and everyone!

Chocolate chip pancakes...YUMMY!:9

I got up this morning about 9:30 and have done NOTHING! lol I went to bed too late the past couple of nights though and it's messing me up. :(

On the schedule for today is 60 mins of cardio. I think I might do the full Power Max work out today. I have only done it all the way through once...it's about time I tackled it again! Soon I will have to try my hand at the next work out on the Cardio Hits dvd...

Other than that, today I have to Walgreens to pick up prenatal vitamin refill and I think I'm gonna take a ride to Target as well. Maybe I can pick up a good stretching dvd there instead of ordering one online. If not, it's always fun for me to just walk around and "window shop" there. They have so much stuff! I'd like to buy some new work out clothing there too but I really should probably just make myself wait until after I have the baby and my weight has stabilized.

Later on this afternoon, DH and I will probably take Clyde over to DH's cousin's house. This guy has a husky and an akita and they love to play with Clyde so we will let them frolic outside in the yard while we visit inside.

So that's about it for my plans!
Hope everyone has a good day and an invigorating work out!:)

Good morning to our two pregnant ladies!

Sandra, pepper?!? That's an odd thing to have a 'craving' for! Now, the chocolate chip pancakes sound really good:)

Wendy, you know I have just discovered Target. I had heard of it before but had just never been....until a co-worker and I went shopping last week and she was just dying to go. I must say I have been missing out!!

Today I'll be doing CTX upper body weights and 10.10.10 cardio. My gym workout went well yesterday, as I'm a little sore in my legs:) :)

Have a great day:)
 
hey ladies! after l/g and rs last night, i am doing cardio only today. i think i will do the blast premix from is it IM2 or SB? it's too early for me to think.

Sandra, i have alsways loved pepper. i put it on everything that isn't a dessert. i also put tabasco on everything. i'm just spicy! what can i say?

Lisa....where have you been that has no Target? How did you manage that? Target rocks!

Wendy....hope clyde has fun!

later!

Hi all!

Oh I must be feeling better today because the sound of chocolate chip pancakes sounds absolutely wonderful today!!!

Wendybdh and Jes, thanks for asking, I am feeling sooo much better today. I am thinking it was probably a virus because the flu would have hung around longer, I think. I also slept for what seems like a few months, LOL, so I think that helped as well!! I am, however, still afraid of eating a lot of stuff. I've pretty much kept to teas, broths, toast, ginger ale and water.

Wendymin72, I just love those cute pics of you and your Clyde!! I am another one that fell in love with Clyde as soon as I saw those pictures :7 :7 :7 !!

Sandra, let us know how you like those dvds! You are the queen of creative rotations and you do have about 39 weeks in which to let those creative juices flow......I think you will do just fine and come up with some wonderful rotations:D :7 !

Ok now if I can I want to do intervals 1-5 of IMAX2 and pyramid up premix of PUB...I want to at least try to catch up a little bit here}( !

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone:7
 
Hi ladies!....well my DH is the pepper fan in our house...hope he isn't PG!!...:+ :7 . I have been a Target fan for a long time...:)

I did a 12 mile trail run this morning. Felt great until I tripped on a big twig about 3 miles...yeow, pulled my hamstring!! At least I didn't fall...

Wendy...are you pulling for the Packers??? I am hoping for a good game as I was disappointed in the Chargers last night. Wow...they played awful...:(...enjoy your day...:)...Carole
 
Hi everyone,

This morning was SH Shoulders and I may do something later but I haven't decided yet.

ALRIGHT-IS EVERYONE ON HERE PREGNANT? Sandra, Jes, and Wendymin-Boy I hope it's contagious:)!!!

Sandra-how do you like yogazone? I watched a preview on Collage video and I just don't think I like hearing men during my workouts. I know that's very odd but I can't explain it. Chocolate chip pancakes sound yummy:9. I've never had them but do you still put syrup on them or something else?

Wendymin- Is Power Max similar to any other Cathe workout? I too like Target but don't get there too often as it is about 30 minutes away. "I" got a gift certificate for there for Christmas and my DH used it to get "himself" a new CD playerx( -Oh well. Oh, and Clyde is adorable.

Jes- Cardio after your first attempt at L&G? Very brave of you:)

Sandy-Take care and I hope you are back to health real soon. Don't overdo it today - your body is probably still recovering.

Carole-I'm truly a Bear fan but since they're out of it (and have been for quite a while}()I am rooting for the Packers. I like Brett Favre-he seems like a true gentleman and he and his family have been through so much this past year. I like Culpepper for the Vikings too but I don't care much for Randy Moss' ego. What about you?

Well, bye for now,
Wendy
 
WHOA!!! STOP EVERYTHING! TIME OUT! JES IS NOT pregnant!!!!!! I repeat NOT! Good lord wendy, you almost gave me a heart attack! i have never seen those words in print. Don't get me wrong, i am thrilled for those of you who are prego, but i do not for any reason want to join the club! ok, that said:

i just finished IMAX2 Blastmania and cw abs. i am exhausted! today was supposed to be my day off, but since i was a candy-ass on tues. i had to make up for it x(

Carole, LOL! i am sorry you pulled your hamstring and glad you did not fall, but that mental image of you stipping on a stick had me rofl! i hope it doesn't hurt all day.

jes
 
Hey Everyone, remember ME??!!??:) My computer as dying a slow and horrible death, I can get online sometimes but for whatever reason I can't post. I've been here on the other side wanting to knock on the monitor glass and say, I'm here!! I'm at my Mom's for the day and thought I'd post quickly to say Hey! and, I miss being a part of the daily check ins.

Carole! It drove me crazy not to be able to let you know that I was thinking about you all New Year's day, and saying 'Go Carole!!!' throughout my day! Sorry to hear about your hamstring pull.

Huge Congrats to Sandra and Wendy!!! Babies are such a blessing, you both sound very happy!

I've been working out hard and enjoying being back to our 'normal' (is there really such a thing!:p) routine with the Kiddos back in school. I borrowed some DVD's from the gym and did some 'BodyCombat' kickboxing (great workout) and then did BC lower body premix (LOVE THAT!!!!).

Gotta go help with supper. Stay well everyone, can't wait for those new DVDs!!!!!

Take Care
Laurie :)
 
Laurie it's nice to see your post!!

Jes, I know, I know....when I saw that Wendy was hoping pregnancy was contagious on this forum I was thinking..NOOOOOOO!! NOOOOOO!

I am very very grateful for the "one" child that I do have and also very very grateful that the good Lord saw fit for me to only have ONE!:)

BUT, am exceedingly happy for Wendymin and Sandra!!!
 
LOL, yes while I am thrilled beyond belief for Wendy and Sandra, I too am hoping it's NOT contagious!!:+ Please I am still waiting to find someone I can have a cup of coffee with, much less babies:eek: !!!Baby dreams will have to come a LOT later:p :7

Laurie, it's SOOOOO good to hear from you!! How were your holidays?? Sorry you are having computer problems, hope they can be fixed soon!

Carole, hope your hamstring feels better soon!

Ok, ok.. I don't know what planet I was on. Perhaps I was still feeling a little delirious from being sick when I thought I felt strong enough to do some kind of workout and I really thought that doing intervals 1-5 of IMAX2 and PUB up only was "modifying" it. Guessed totally wrong. Still not feeling strong enough for Cathe and I really didn't take into account that I haven't really taken enough calories in this weekend to be able to work out! So Wendybdh I am listening to my body because it's really giving me no other choice:+ :+

By the way, I got to see Sharon from Active You earlier this afternoon!!! I had to make an exchange and she was able to meet me again which was really nice.....this time I got to meet her DH and son! Her son is SOOOOOO cute:)!! I told her what happened to me this weekend and she told me that my face did look thinner....I know this is going to sound sick, but I was soo happy and took it as a compliment, LOL! She was also another one that warned me not to work out today and that my body still needs to rest a bit. I'm glad I didn't because when I got home I really started to feel weak againx(.
Have a good night:)
 
Laurie....HI....Welcome back....we MISSED you!!!:+ :7 ;) I think I felt your thoughts during the marathon and if you didn't read back I had a great time, a bit slower than I hoped for but that's really ok. I got 1st in my division!! I hope you can get a new PC...:)...my hamstring is fine everyone...thanks...:)...and Jes...I really can see you ROTFL....:7 :+ :) and it makes me smile BIG...

Wendy...sad to say I had great hopes for Randy before Chris Carter left. I think Chris was the only one Randy listened to and looked up to. Unfortunately Randy is VERY immature and has great talent, but he is on the road to being another Terrel Owens...;( and it makes me sad. What he did today after his last TD was deplorable. I have always liked Farve, but I didn't think with GB's injuries they would get too far...My DH's Uncle played for the Bears a LONG time ago...Rudy something...he was the QB.....off to watch 24!!!....:)...Carole
 
Jes-I feel absolutely horrible. I don't know why I was thinking that-I am so sorry-please forgive me:-(

To everyone else- I meant that I hope pregnancy is contagious for me, I didn't mean anything more than that. Sorry.:-(

Carole- You're right, Randy is VERY talented. I missed it-what did he do after his last TD(Jason had a basketball game so I didn't see much of the 4th quarter)? Did you see the interview he did with Jimmy Johnson that they aired before the game? It definitely didn't portray him in a bright light-he came across as an arrogant and selfish child. After the interview, Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw were just ripping on him for it. You just hope someone like that would have grown up by now but I guess not. That is so cool that your DH's uncle played for the bears-if you think of his name let me know? My DH is a total sports trivia buff especially when it comes to Chicago sports.

Wendy
 
Wendy lol! don't frown. i know what you meant and i am keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! i just wanted to "clarrify" :) no need to apologize or forgive anything!

sandra, who told you to "stay your butt in the bed" ? rest girlfriend ! did you see that post? you are too brave for your own good!

Carole....i'm glad you could see me. smiles are good.

jes


Laurie...miss ya! hope you get fixed soon!
 
Wendy....What did he do?....OMG..after the TD he mimicked a BA to the Packer fans in the Endzone! Howie is of course my all time favorite being a Raider fan..:D I did catch a bit of the Jimmy Johnson interview...it's really a shame. My DH's Uncle was Rudy Bukich, I believe he was drafted in the 58-59 season and then played during 62-68...DH says he was a good QB...but I was a bit young to be interested in Football at that time...:)...I have to say that Walter Peyton was always a thrill to watch...Carole
 
how interesting:p hey carole, just wanted to tell you i added the gray hair pic to my pic link......
