**Damage Control** December

Good Morning!

Today was Tabata Inferno! Yeowzers! It had been a while since I did it. That work out is TOUGH! :eek: Love it! ;):D

Di:: Oh don't get me wrong. I am sure that the exercise helps to fend off some weight gain when the diet isn't right but I am unable to lose with exercise alone. The only possible exception to that was my Insanity rotation. I don't recall really changing my diet at all and managed to lose about 5# w/that rotation but that was the only time. Good job keeping it in check at the luncheon! So when will you do the P90X2 rotation?

BBL~:cool:
 
Good Morning Ladies,

This morning is STS legs and tonight is bootcamp!

Wendy-I hope to start P90X2 sometime in January. It'll depend on when I'm released to exercise after my surgery. The UB work should be fine, but lower body and cardio probably not for a while. I lost 5# the first week of Isanity...and then held that weightloss throughout the rotation.

Waving Hi to Lori, Laura, and Allee!
 
Di:: Yup, me too re the Insanity weight loss but shortly after the rotation ended I gained it back. :rolleyes: I was happy for the moment though as it was the lowest weight I had been in a very long time so it was great while it lasted! :p OMG you are going to do BC on STS legs!? You crazy girl! :eek:
 
THURS - one step closer to weekend - woot woot!!

Hello Ladies ..

1000 rep challenge :eek: OK .. so I had about 10 of my girls show - I ended up "leading" the workout tho .. think it is engrained in them to FOLLOW me .. we did it in about 42 minutes ... :D ... I think on my own that time would be less .. b/c I started slow .. and took a couple breathers after the burpees and squat jumps ... we did jumps as I do in plyo class low and high .. very large range of motion ... most them didnt do the triceps dips correctly .. nor the squat thrust .. they werent bringin in knees as far up as they should have ... some of them didnt do all the reps .. they stopped when i was finished ... but all in all they did really good ... and of course my cardio queens LOVED it .. and want to do it again!!! I printed it out and gave them a copy so they would have it to do on their own. But even tho I lead the class it was nice to NOT THINK .. I had a good time .. my legs were wobbly on the last 2 sets of burpees .. BURNING bad .. I figured I would really be sore but I am not .. i bit twingy in the chest and butt but not bad!! :D My face was kinda red and IT DID RAIN SWEAT .. but I must say .. my MON and TUE class I sweated more :eek: :D it was fun and great workout!!!

Di - when is your surgery???? P90X2 ... :eek: ...I am jealous .. hope I get mine soon .. I ordered after you .. so may next week????

Wendy - I didnt loose weight w/Insanity like you two .. I did loose some body fat and and (3 pounds) when i did ww and STS rotation tho .. so I am hoping that will happen again when I start my P90X2 :D I just dont flucuate in my weight much at all .. but I "lean out" when I watch my eats .. and if I slack on working out I just feel FAT ...

Hello to Allee ...

OK .. better run .. we just cooked veggie soup and mexican cornbread .. YUUUUUMMMY ... it was delish!! have a great one ..

TONIGHT: is plyo class .. but think I am gonna mix it up since last night was a lot of jumping .. and do a combo .. Low impact move - then plyo move ... in circuits .. end w/plank work and a nice yoga stretch!;)
 
Great job on the 1000 Repper, Laura! Find time to do it on your own some weekend and see if you can do it faster!!! I want to see what my time will be WITHOUT all those dang burpee push ups that I didn't have to do! :rolleyes::confused::eek::p
 
Hi Ladies,

My P90X2 arrived today. I'm planning on tearing open the boxes and checking everything out tonight. Tomorrow morning will Plyocide!

Wendy/Laura-your times are great! I think the BR team did it in 43 minutes without the extra pushups Wendy did. I too had to take some breathers too.

Laura:: OMG girl. I'd gain 5# in a weekend if I had a social calendar like that! :eek: Sounds like fun though! Enjoy!!! :D
 
Hi ladies,

So this morning was Plyocide. First off, it was not as hard as I was expecting, but I do have room to grow. I consider it a good w/o though. It has a pretty long warmup that I will probably skip 5 or so minutes of next time. You do grouping of 4 exercises and then a short break. The first exercise of each grouping is non-plyo, the next 3 are plyo. I could do all but 1 exercise, the evil plyo pushup. Next time I hope to increase my reps of each exercise. This workout includes burpees into a tuck jump, mary catherines with a med ball, plyo pushups...goodness I can't even remember. My legs are super sore form STS Legs, Bootcamp, and then Plyo...gotta love it.

We are going out for karaoke with some friends tonight, should be fun.

Laura-you have a busy but fun weekend ahead. Enjoy!

Wendy-guess I need to give Tabata Inferno a try. Do you have any fun weekend plans?

Allee-hope everything is okay.
 
Really....me again. Where is everyone? For not getting much sleep last night, I was really strong this morning with STS Back and Biceps! I also did ARX2 (15 min) and X2Core (55min). I really like both of the w/o's. There were 2 or 3 exercises I just couldn't do in X2 Core, hopefully I'll get those mastered soon.

Had a great time at karaoke last night. I only had 2 light beers and then stuck to water. Too bad my DH is sick, could be the flu...poor guy.

The rest of the weekend will be spent running errands, cleaning, and finally getting the Christmas tree up and the girls room ready.

Hi Everyone.

Diana:: Sorry to leave you lonely today. Wow. You worked out for a long time today huh? You got no sleep and I am hung over. Sounds like we both had a leetle too much fun last night! ;):p:D Is X2Core a Core Syn type work out? I love Core Syn! Too bad I don't remember to do it more often! :rolleyes: Yup, you need to try Tabata Inferno! It's awesome! ;)

I did S90 Cardio Challenge followed by the cardio only from Slide & Glide today. Longer work out for me b/c I had time AND because I over did it on the food this week so I was trying to fight back a bit against any damage I've done. Hopefully next week will be better!

Tomorrow calls for S90 Legs...oy. I remember all too well how tough that one is. I hope my DOMS is gone by then!!!:eek:

Heading out country dancing tonight for the first time in ages. Has to be year since I'd last gone. Should be fun! I just hope this hang over head ache is gone by then :rolleyes: and hopefully I won't have another one tmrw!! :confused:
 
Hi Gals,

I thought I would check in and let you know that I am still alive and pregnant!:eek:

I really don't know if this little one is going to stay in there until his time is up. Somedays I am uncomfortable but for the most part it isn't to bad. I just have aches and pains that I never had before and those stupid false contractions are enough to drive me insane (not that I had far to go). So who knows...maybe we will have a new years baby...wouldn't that be marvelous!!!

I have 5 shifts left to go at work before I am done. I am off all of next week and then I work Christmas week. I thought about going off before and its still tempting but the thoughts of no pay check right now isn't. And with all the holidays coming up it will probably take forever to get my unemployment straightened out. So I am thinking that my last day of work might be Christmas Day.

We have to go into the city this week for somethings and I decided to schedule my exam for the 14th. Please think about me....Ive had a lot on my mind and I probably haven't been studying as much as I should have....like right now...that's what I should be doing! And I will shortly;)

Other then the above, not a whole lot happening. Im pretty much ready for Christmas. I have a couple things left to get but nothing serious.

Anyway...I will let you all know how I do on my exam! Cross your fingers for me!!!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

This morning I did STS disc 19-CST and Tabata Inferno. This was my first experience with TI and I will probably start adding it in to my rotation. I really liked it....thanks Wendy! The pushups and overhead pressess were tough after sts but I managed by using lighter weghts for OH press and by the 4th round I had to drop to my knees for pushups. My weight has been inching downwards too.:D

This next week will be pretty busy for me since I have to be ready for Christmas before my surgery. I still need to shop for Amanda and the names we drew with my family.

Lori-glad to see you will finally be a CERTIFIED PT!!! I'm sure you will pass with flying colors!

Wendy-what are you up to today?

bbl
 
Posting on the fly ladies. Just finished my work out. Gotta grab a quick shower and get dinner started. Making something called Grilled Chicken & Eggplant Parmesan Brown Rice Casserole. It's a recipe I found in one of my Cooking Light mags y'day. Sounds yummy!

Today's work out was S90 Legs but I added some cardio to it by doing a 4 min jumprope interval after the warm up, after the first round of exercises (before repeating everything) and at the end before the stretch. Good stuff. My legs are finally recovered and now I will be limping again tmrw I am sure! :eek: Upper body is still sore today. I hope it's better tmrw cause I believe Chest & Back is up in the morning! :confused:

Di:: Glad you loved TI!!!! Good job bangin' it out after an STS work out! You go girl! :)

Lori:: Good luck with your exam! I'm sure you'll do great!

Off I go! Probably won't be back til the morning!....
 
FINALLY got my work out done. Talk about having no motivation!!!:rolleyes: Only thing I added to S90 Chest and Back was 500 Mountain Climbers using the Slide and Glide discs and it took me forevah to do them! :confused::eek:
 
Hi Ladies,

This morning I did the next STS Legs disc and had bootcamp tonight. All I can say is my legs are sure to be killing me tomorrow morning! I finished up bootcamp with some ab work and a much needed leg stretch.

So I didn't mention that an old man....like 90 or so it seemed, and a girl both hit on me at Karaoke. The girl was a young cute blonde with tattoo's and those black things in your ears that make your earlobes big... and a girlfriend. There was a "cast of characters" there as one of my coworkers put it.

Wendy-Did you just pull a number out of your a## for the mountain. Hmmmm, yeah...I think I'll do 500 mountain climbers...you are crazy girl! Nice job!!!

Laura-spill, how was the dirty santa party?

Allee-hope everything is okay with the family!

Off to shower and start laundry...bbitam.
