Daily Check In, Sunday September 21

[Conni]

Good morning,

Looks like a beautiful day today, a rest day on the rotation, so I think I am doing Michelle Dozois Total Body Circuit. This rotation has no circuit work, which is a nice change, but I am getting to that part of the month where I miss it.

I am hopefully taking some pics of the puppy today. His name is Sherman ( my DH has a fondness for generals).

Have a great day

Good Morning !! Hi Connie !

Boy, am I glad to be back !

We actually were only without power Sunday and had it back Monday , but just got back internet and phones last night !!!
I kept up with my workouts & completed week 5 of the pushups . Barely. Week five is HARD! I did a few on my knees.

But I REALLY missed checking in , and missed all of you !

That storm was MASSIVE! SO MANY without power, some are STILL without it. Stores closed, gas stations, the one gas station around with power had gas lines hours long and then ran out of gas !
When stores opened, they had run out of food. One store nearby threw out $500,000 worth of food !
Schools were closed most of the week. My daughter went back for part of the day Thursday & Friday.

Anyway, we were lucky and only had tree limbs down. My parents lost most of their roof, shutters and gutters too.

Today is a rest day. Tomorrow I start week 4 (I think) off FF's getting ready for summer rotation.

Have a great rest of the weekend !

Good Morning Glories!

Today is StepBlast I had fun at the outlets yesterday. I got 3 pairs of slax, 2 blouses, 2 sweaters, a pair of shoes and a purse The DH got a pair of shoes and 2 dress shirts.

Conni ~ Can't wait to see pix of Sherman (great name, btw)

Becky ~ Welcome Back! The storm sounds horrid! I am so glad you and your family are safe. Good job on the push-ups, I have to get back into it.

Enjoy your Sunday!

G/morning ladies!

It is a gorgeous day today, but this is abouat as cold as I like it to get. I'm a warm weather gal!

Conni, enjoy Michelle. I have Pilates for Dummies(one of my few non-Cathe's) with her and she is OK. I didn't realize that she did other things.

Becky, so glad to see you back! It sounds like you have a mess on your hands over there. I lhope your life gets back on track soon.

Tammy, it sounds like you had Shopblast yesterday. Are your new clothes for work? I guess I'm lucky in that I don't have to dress in anything special for work, but I do like to dress up. I can see how you might dislike the nutrition package if you don't like to journal your eating. It CAN be a pain in the arse, but it keeps me on track. For some reason, I am ALWAYS low in potassium. I think that is a wierd thing that I've never worried about before.

Anyway, today is a MM premix, if I ever get off this 'puter.

Hello Ladies!

The weather is much cooler and I was able to sleep so good with my windows down last night - I'm so happy I got a really good restorative sleep, what a world of difference it makes.

I'm feeling much better albeit still with back pain so I'm going to start back up slowly and work myself back to my rotation.


On a side note I'm very close (ThisClose) to canceling STS as the more I view the clips and the more I think about it I really am not feeling the love for STS at all.

Guess I feel so guilty that I'm not on the STS lovefest bandwagon but it seems just like her regular weight moves in a way and I have her entire workout collection that I ask myself why exactly would I want STS anyway? Then on the other hand I wonder what will I be missing out on?

For those who went on the RT this summer and saw the STS clips what was it about that makes it different? Will STS make the rest of her weight workouts obsolete?

Since I've been sick and my body is not cooperating I even wonder if I should bother with it and entertain the idea of trying out some different type of workouts using that money. Its been so long we have all been waiting for these dvds and nothing from SNM.


Conni so looking forward to seeing Sherman. I miss having a dog in the house but I still can't see another miniature schnauzer without crying it happened last week for me and its been a little over 3 yrs since my Pepper died.
Perhaps when we finally move into the new house (we decided to wait until ds finishes HS he's in his junior yr atm)

Becky so glad to see you back online you've been missed I've been sick and will need to start those PUs all over again lol

Tammy we have some outlets about 30 mins drive from here and thats were I go for holiday shopping -

I'm sure you had fun


Phyllis I know what you mean about the cooler weather. Maybe eating more bananas will help?

Good Afternoon everyone

Today is a rest day, so I rested .

Vilma~ I feel the same way about STS. Does this make the old Cathe workouts obsolete? I'm glad you are feeling better. I was thinking today, Cathe should have started STS and been into it by about 6-7 months before announcing it. It would make the waiting and anticipation easier. And she could still take pictures and post them. Does that make sense??

Becky~ Welcome back! Glad the storm wasn't to bad for you and you all are safe. Good job on the pushups. Once I hit 124 (in week 3) I did it for one more week, but have no desire to continue. I know they werent consecutive, but I did the sets with less than a minutes rest inbetween. so in my mind, I've done 100 pushups.

Tammy~ Sounds like you had a blast shopping!!

Phyllis~ I love this weather too! Fall is my favorite season.

Conni~ Love the dogs name, can't wait to see pictures!

Have a great day everyone

Vilma, I'm afraid that I don't have much information for you regarding STS. I'm looking forward to a regimented rotation with weights that are predetermined according to my needs. So, it fits the bill for me. I oon't think I am able to do it by myself. I'm sorry you have to cancel, but you need to do what's right for you.
