Good morning all,

Obviously I am up early today, just can't sleep. They put DH in a coma yesterday to better control his withdrawal from his meds on his now defunct implant. The withdrawal was so severe that they had to take over his functions so they could drug him enough to keep him quiet. Hopefully they will wake him up tomorrow after the withdrawal subsides. He has been so brave throughout this entire mess, I just can't believe any of this is happening. At least I know they are really taking good care of him in ICU. I will go over there today to sit for awhile.

Please keep praying, his fight is one that cannot be fought alone, and he is fighting so hard.

I am doing GS CT premix this morning, and probably Marcus step segments with ab hits at the end.

Have a good day.
 
((((((((Connie)))))))))) Prayers are continuing for all of you!
I hope there is some real progress in his recovery very soon.
Thank you for keeping all of us informed.
I'm glad to see you are finding time for your workouts. It has to help some with tremendous stress you are under. Big hug.

Yesterday was Step Blast (love it), then later my DS came by and wanted to walk. My legs weren't sure they wanted to (workout the day before was legs, legs, legs!:p ) but we walked a good pace up and down hills in the 80 degree sun!}( Was great but I was ready to stop when we did!:p :eek:

Today there is a huge temp. change (from 80 to 44!) and I don't like it!
We've got some really cold days ahead for the next week, which is hard to take after the warm summer-like days we had.

Today's workout is GS chest & tri's and bonus cardio. I dont' have a sub. for the cardio yet and HATE the endless flies and presses in GS chest, so might sub for another chest workout. I KNOW it's effective, just for me, it goes on and on and on.........!:-(

Any suggestions for good subs? I need to go look at my workouts and find something.

Have a good day everyone!

Where are you Jane? It's 6 am !!!:7
 
Good morning all.

Conni - HUGS to you!!

Becky - I just finished the WO you described. You're right the presses are endless and I was shaking by the time I got to tris. I haven't done that WO since Jan and WOW, I could really tell! I did use my step as a sub for the stairs. It worked well. Again, I have no good suggestions for you, sorry :(

Cold here today as well. Back to the winter coat!

Good morning Conni and Becky and all that follow....

Conni - I'm sure he is getting excellent care. Thoughts, prayers, and {{{HUGS}}} to you and your family.

Becky - I'm here! We are going down in the deep freeze this weekend, 29 degree Saturday night!!:eek:

Today starts the April rotation. GSL and B&G SB Abs.

DIL went in for her checkup yesterday and she is 1 to 2 cm. dilated and 75% effaced!!! She could go any time!


ETA - Phyllis, good morning! We posted at the same time!

Where is Heather!? I know last week she said she wouldn't be around much toward the end of the week but did she say anything about this week?
 
Good Morning Girls.

I have Back and Biceps on tap for today but may do Legs and Back instead due to a sore upper body from CS&T the other day...

I'm debating a short run after work this morning as well.

Jane, Sooo exciting! I can't wait to hear that she's in labor!!!!!

Conni, (((HUGS))) More prayers are on thier way!!!!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Good Morning Fit Chicks!

Today is a 45 minute SS cycle ride, but I'll be doing a 45 min SS run on my treadmill.

Conni: Continued (((HUGS))) and prayers for all of you.

Jane: How exciting!!!!

Becky: It's cold here too with snow in the forecast tomorrow:(

Tig: Have you started an "X" countdown yet?

Phyllis: I woke up with incredible chest DOMS from C/T yesterday. You'll be feeling that workout tomorrow!

Heather: Are you okay?

I have a job interview this morning and my Mom is graduating out of the ICU to a regular hospital room. She has spent 5 weeks in the ICU...THANKS to all of you for the prayers!
 
Ok , my workout is FINALLY finished!

I did GS chest and tri's, Amy Bento's Abs #1 and 15 minutes on the TM alternating incline, jogging, sloooooooow walk (like a lunge) and walking at 4.0, as a substitute for the bonus cardio.


Now I'm FRIED and ready to get out of these sweaty clothes!!}(
 
Hellos going out to Conni, Becky, Phyllis, Jane, Wendy, Tammy and all who follow!


Just completed GS Chest & Tri's (Ugh my upper body was shaking so bad - but I did it granted I had to go lower in weights compared to Cathe but we all know that woman is a machine lol)

Plus I did end up doing Cathe's bonus cardio as she had it planned out - I pulled out my timer and did the jumping jacks, running up & down the stairs, jumping rope , walking lunges and running in place - all 3 cycles for the 15 minutes and boy that sure is a cardio work and had me sweating a good bit. I didn't think much of it until I did it and yes I did find myself saying "I can do this for one minute." My gawd! LOL She is sure sneaky and now I know why she had those little evil smilies after describing the bonus cardio - too funny but it works and actually it wasn't that bad thinking about it now :p

Today is the last bit of warm weather before the cold gets us here in NC.

* Conni - I pray your husband has a quick recovery, prayers going out to you both once again.

* Jane - Oh sounds like dil is ready to go and soon a new life will join your family - how exciting!

Time for me to hit the shower!
 
Hi guys...

Missed check in yesterday...tax season is rearing it's ugly head these last few weeks! So I may not be here every day...

Conni...was thinking of your husband yesterday...prayers continue...

Well, yesterday I did a 50 minute non Cathe Cardio, followed by 10 minute stability ball abs by Cathe from body fusion...today I did the total body sculpt premix from LIC as that is all I had time for...

Eating lunch and will head off for a quick lunch walk before returning for another long afternoon behind the desk!

Deb
 
I just got done doing Legs and Back and I can now (Thanks to the X!!!) do unassisted chin ups! I did 5 total! I am sooo darned excited!

My level of excitement over this is something only a Catheite would understand! LOL

:7 :+ :7 :+ :7 :+
 
GSL and B&G SB abs are done. Those slooooowwww static lunges make me want to cry!!

Conni - You're welcome... that what we are here for, to prop each other up.

Tammy - that is fantastic news about mom!! She has done so well. She is surely a strong woman. How did the interview go?

Vilma - you have me looking forward to that bonus cardio!

Cassadine - Hello! LM and TM... ohh... I bet your legs were jelly!

Deb - not too much longer! Only 10 more days... since this one is about over with.

Wendy - WOW.. you go girl.. you know I was in Dick's a couple of weeks ago and tried to do a pull up on one of those towers and about separated my right shoulder!!! (I have problems with my shoulders due to RA). I can definitely respect what an accomplishment five are!

Heather - where are you? ***tapping foot*** Just do a quick check in and let us know you are okay.

Off to the shower and then a little TV time before bed.
