Daily Check In: Tuesday, June 21, 2005

Sandra-Thanks for the info. I don't have those dvd's but maybe I should order them! :) Always ready to have an excuse to buy more cathe!

I really have to get back on the treadmill today or go to the park and jog. I have been doing cathe cardio as I love it but I don't want to lose my enduruance for jogging. If I go to the park I better go soon as it is suppose to be 92 here today. LAter in the day I will be doing gym style legs. And abs! I really want a new ab workout dvd. Is it possable to just buy ab ripper from the p90x series?

Morning ladies! This morning I changed my rotation at the last minute and did Low Max instead of SB. I think I will move SB to Thursday. Tonight is one segment from Core Max.

Ugh, the weather here is HORRIBLE. Yesterday it was 112 degrees and today it is supposed to be 110!!! I hate Arizona summers!

Sandra - Yes, the painters are done and life is back to normal, for the most part. They did an excellent job and we are very happy with the house. It's like having a brand new house again. We went to Ethan Allen over the weekend and found a bunch of new furniture we like. The kidney stone has not been giving me problems yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I got through the Step premix of LowMax. It wasn't easy but I did it woo hoo. No abs tho. I'm doing Tri's& Bi's later so there's abs on that.

***Pant...Pant***

Boot Camp is done! Woo Hoo! I was doubting wether or not I'd get through it all in the first shot but I did! :7 I *slightly* modified a few moves but not too much so. ;) I can't believe I did it! What a butt-kicking work out! Holy moly! lol Now I have to decide if I will ever do it again!:p (just kidding!)

Have a great day!

Way to go Wendy. I just bought the BC/ME DVD. I haven't attempted BC yet. I was going to do MIS today but Shelley had posted she was doing ME today and that reminded me I haven't done that workout. So I'm going to try ME today.
 
Wendy,

I am so impressed with you!!! Pat yourself on the back ! I can't believe you just got the ok from your dr. and have already done BOOTCAMP!!
I have it, and have done it once and put it waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the back of my dvd's so I don't come across it often when I am trying to pick my workout for the day!!
It's a killer!!
Maybe if a bunch of us agreed on a day to do it.....and had BOOTCAMP day, I would be guilted into trying it again. Then again, maybe not.:p

Three cheers for you!

PS Joey is beautiful and I love the way you've decorated his room.
 
Thanks Becky!

Hey you know you touched on cool idea there! What if we picked one day a week or a month (however you'd all wanna do it) and organized the group to all do the same work out? Well, the ones who'd like to participate anyway. That would be such awesome motivation! I realize some of you do rotations and wouldn't want to screw that up but there's a lot who don't and I think that would be neat. Then we can "meet" on a thread and complain about the pain later! lol ;)

What a day! Strained necks from pickle jars, I've heard some strange injuries in clinic but that's a new one. I can totally see how it could happen...those lids are a test of anyone's upperbody strength.
Foodie Sue, how's your wrist, I've actually worried about slipping off of the bench before, I was thinking this morning maybe I should get some of that chalk they use in gymnastics gyms but it would just make a mess.
Getting a crown is such a long process, I've only got one and I hope that's all I every get. I broke the tooth eating icecream with carmel candy in it (a treat I made the kids at Christmas), it cost me over $1 000.00!!!

Nice job with BC Wendy it's such a kickbutt workout and so versatile with all of the premixes.

I tested my ankle today and did LowMax on 1 riser and modified (no torque at all) I worked up a sweat and was glad to get this cardio junkies heart rate up.

It's a sad day for my family today, we got called to the hospital last night and my MIL died this morning at 11:00. She was 79 and ate life up for as long as she could. She scared the sh#t out of me doing a headstand in my living room when she was 74! Her and my FIL have been married almost 58 years and had more romantic love between them as I have seen in many newlyweds. She still sat on his lap after supper until about 2 months ago. I loved her like a mother/friends/confidant....my hubby died 7 years ago and for the first few years after his death the relationship with my in-laws was touchy because of the grief and shifting nature of our bond. After the emotional dust settled our bond strengthened and has become very unique, I only know a few people with a similar situation but none of them stayed close to the in-laws. I love that I still get to hear stories about John that I didn't know and that through their grandparents my kids get to know their Daddy still. I am so grateful that I got the Mother-in-law that I did and I know that my husband's spirit was joyous as he greeted his beloved Mother into Eternity.......Goodnight Irene..... :(

Take Care

Laurie - I tried to PM you but it spat it back at me. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about your MIL. It sounds like she was a dynamic, wonderful lady. It's great that you got to have a close relationship, and that your kids got to bond with such a positive, lovely woman. My thoughts are with you.
 
Laurie -

I was so sorry to read that your MIL passed away. How wonderful that she and her husband were so much in love even late in life! She sounds like a unique and incredible woman and you were so blessed to have her in your life. I'm sure you have many, many fond memories of her.

Thinking about you and your family,
Angie
 
Laurie,

I'm so sorry about your MIL. It's wonderful that you had such a good relationship. It sounds like she was a very loving person.

Wendy, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can also have Terminator days......??? They are the other ones that *scare* me!:eek:
I am on a rotation right now but would be willing to make some adjustments to give this a try.......

Hope everyone's having a great day!
 
I am so sorry about your MIL Laurie. That's wonderful that you were so close to her. It's such a loss but like you said now she is with her son. As someday you will be with them again too.
I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless.
Kali
 
Laurie, I'm SO sorry to hear that your MIL passed away. I'm sorry that your daughters have lost this link to your late husband, and that your FIL is now alone. Your MIL sounds like she was a central figure in your family circle, and her loss is going to be felt by many people. I hope her final hours were without suffering, and that she is indeed reunited with her son.

Take care. Hugs,
Sandra
 
Laurie, I'm sorry for your loss. I have a wonderful MIL also. She turned 71 three days ago. She can be intrusive at times but she is well meaning and I'd be lost without her. I feel your grief. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Laurie:

I wish to express my condolences to you and your family. Your relationship sounds wonderful, especially in serving as a connection for your kids with their father. It's great to know that many people get along with their inlaws. I'm not one of them unfortuately.

I just finished ME for the first time although I've done parts of it on the Terminator workouts. Good total body workout. I liked it. I skipped the abs since I did the abs from ME last night and 40 minutes of CoreMax Sunday. Feeling some DOMS in the abs as usual from those knee roll-ins!!

May do some cardio a little later but not sure. Feeling good but a little tired. No caffeine since I finished my last cup of coffee this morning around 7. May leave the cardio for tomorrow.
 
Thanks Everybody for your kind thoughts and words. This is such a wonderful outlet for our highs and lows and it felt good sharing a little of her with you.:)

Take Care
Laurie
 
I just finished ME too! And.... I matched Cathe's weight on everything except biceps, and was only 5 lb lighter on those. And I actually exceeded her on some of the shoulder stuff, mostly because I don't have 5 lb dumbells. Look at me being proud.:)

She's so funny in that workout too. I love it when Cedie is counting out leg presses and laughing and Cathe says "Who in their right mind is that happy when they're doing leg presses?". And "It's all about strength, NOT time off".
