DaMaGe CoNtRoL MONDAY BLAHS!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

Im off today so I don't feel blah....just put that there for you guys I do however have to work this Fri for my coworker which I am not tore up about. I told her that I didn't want the extra shift so she could work my Wed this week or my Mon next. She probably isn't tore up about either one of it but I won't be thrilled if I have to work, W,T,F either....3 days with people under my feet??? I don't mind 3 weekend days b/c there is no one around.

Hoping to get my new workouts today but who knows....I haven't had an update since they left NY on the 23rd! I have decided to give one of them to my sister for Christmas though...just need to decide which one!

Im gonna read yesterdays thread...then I will return!

Good Morning Girls.

Well I was planning on cardio this morning but that didn't happen. I think HIGH REPS sent that plan hurling down the old proverbial tubes! lol I am sore and tired so I opted to sleep in and make today a rest day instead. It's OKAY though b/c technically today is exactly when my rest day is due. I was going to push it the extra day b/c I felt like kickboxing. Oh well. There's always tomorrow!

Cathe's December rotation is supposed to ofcourse include the new workouts. I am going to check it out. I am actually thinking of doing it!

Lori:: Enjoy your day off today. Training anyone or do you actually have a day to yourself?

Diana:: Nope, no big winning over here but didn't lose a lot and it was fun as usual! Yes, HR is similar to PH. One song per body part but she sequences them differently and the exercises are different. Especially for legs. She has legs in there 3x I think. First squats, the traditional barbell lunges and then lunging with the paper plate/gliding disc. She ends it with chest which is very unusual and it's all push ups with some flys in the middle. Shoulder work is killer. Triceps too. For once, biceps was not my achillies tendon in a Cathe workout! AMAZING!

Okay, just about shower time. BBL ladies!

Hey Girls...

Back with another half cup of coffee Going to start my workout soon but Im not sure what I am going to do yet. Probably start off with a run, then maybe I will do some KB and then go into UB work. That should fry my UB.

Wendy** Sounds like you had an awesome weekend. Im hoping to get my new workouts today...fingers crossed! But Im not putting my workout off in hopes that I will get them. I remember being more excited when new workouts were released. I remember getting the Intensity series...I was so excited! Imax 2 was first on the list. I just finished training my friend and I have one other one later this evening. Its not a crazy week actually. The chatty one with the baby who likes to sit on the couch most of the time, isn`t scheduled at all this week. She is moving but I think its gonna fade anyway....you can tell.

Diana** I hate computer probs. Right now I am typing on a computer that as the space bar missing I have to put my finger on the dot every time I want to seperate words....I have become quit good at it!

Jacque** So you sized up the U2 concert already! LOL I think this concert was suppose to be last year but it was cancelled for some reason. I am looking at Montreal in July. I just need to book the tickets...but they are over $500. It should be half of my christmas gift but they arent `my` band! LOL DH already warned me that he will probably cry! I feel embarrassed for him!!!! They are his fav. I want him to see them before they retire cause who knows when that will be. He was a huge Micheal Jordan fan as well but he never got to see a game before he retired.

O.k...Im gonna get my butt in gear and get my workout started!!

Not BLAH but YUCK for me ;=)

Good morning chickies !

Well I did get in 7 round of IMax3 before my legs just wouldn't work any more - tired sluggish feeling. Up early (for me at least) and will be doing Push Pull in a few minutes. Need to warm the house a bit and try to get the kink out of my lower back. Ugh!

Lori - yes a U2 fan - tix here at the top of the stadium will be about $110 so not too bad for a live concert in CA. But it will take a plane flight or 5 hour drive and an overnight. Need to see if DH is in or not. Thinking it might be Father's Day weekend which is not too bad since he never celebrates with his Dad much anyway. Too "old" peas in a pod they are ! Hope you had a great workout - enjoy the day off.

Wendy - welcome back ! Great job getting a w/o in last night ! LOL - wish I was a 'napper'. It would make my life so much easier. Oh yea - High Reps sounds like another goodie. Will check out the Dec rotation along with you. Still toying with STS but not sold yet. Need to get back into the swing of things but I actually have worked out all but 2 days in the last 10 ! Yea Me ! ! !

Off to hit the weights - until later . . .

Hi Ladies,

Well I'm still in computer hell with my laptop. I restored it to its factory settings and am running a Windows memory test that has been at 99% complete for over 12 hours. Yes, I let it run overnight. I haven't given up yet cuz I'm just not ready to buy another one I should be able to get at least another 18 mos out of it, more really.

This morning is cardio, maybe CCC or Imax 2 or 3. Yesterday I did all of BM2 Cardio, but had to stop and do abs about the 35 min mark to get off my foot and hope the pain would go away. Well it did subside enough for me finish, but I was in a lot of pain by the end of the w/o.

I also have my pre-op appt this morning. I'm aprehensively optimisitic that this surgery will stop the pain. She did say I could get another neuroma between other toes, hopefully that won't happen.

I'm feeling a little stressed today, my backstabbing "B" coworker is back in the office today. It was nice with her out last week. Unfortunately my boss was too and I didn't have a chance to talk to him. Hopefully he can find time for me tomorrow.

Lori-enjoy your day off! My dvd's will arrive today...hopefully yours will too. U2 in concert will be amazing.

Wendy-definitely sounds like a rest day is warranted. Oh my, did you say pushups. I'm looking forward to the new w/o's and wouldn't mind following a rotation. Insanity and my heavy wt rotation that I did over the summer is the last rotation I followed. I always see better results when following a rotation.

Jacque-nice w/o lady. The high today is only supposed to be 32. We did get a tad of snow last night, but its not sticking and the temps will be in the 40's/50's later this week.

Laura-how was your weekend? Did you team win? Hopefully things will get smoothed over with DSIL soon. Have your new w/o's arrived and have you tried them? Have a good day, I know its almost the first of the month.

Just a quickie to say Push Pull finished !

Back at lunch to see what has been happinin'

 

[wandakusa]

Hi, I hope you guys don't mind me posting in here. I'm new!! Tonight I plan to do Muscle Max for the first time.

I hope you all have a great day!

 

[Fit_mommy]

I'm back.

Looks like we might have a new member here ladies! Welcome Wanda! Nice to meet you! You are welcome to stick around as long as you like!

Diana:: I hate computers. I am so not a computer person. Neither is my DH and you can tell by how quickly we go thru them. I hope you can salvage yours for a bit longer. I can't wait for Cathe to post the rotation so that I can start modifying it! You KNOW I'm hard pressed to do it EXACTLY as written! It would be fun to have you join me though!

Jacque:: Good job with P/P! You rock! I haven't done an IMAX in quite some time. Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be one in the December rotation! I still need to give STS another go myself but I keep getting sidetracked! Perhaps I will take it on after the December rotation is done!

Lori:: Doing kickbox with weighted gloves AFTER a u/b work out or the day after when you have some DOMS is great. I love it. Enjoy your work out today! Re your client who you don't see coming back now that's she's taken a week off to move--keeping motivation to work out is hard which is why I never take a REST WEEK. I will take my rest days and I will take a weekend off here and there and ofcourse when I'm sick but to purposely not work out for a week to REST? Nope. If I did that i would be hard pressed to get back into it I think...even after all these years I could see myself falling out of the routine if I did that. Not worth taking the chance!

BBL!

Hi Girls...

Afternoon here...I don't know what to have for lunch I saw the delivery truck driver across the st and I was so excited...but then he drove past my house! Wahhhh! Kinda hoped he was just going to the end of the st to turn around but that didn't happen either!

Today's workout was 30 mins on the TM, 15 mins on the bike and my own UB workout.

Wanda** Welcome to the group...tell us about yourself!

Diana** Ugh..you gotta hate that 99% crap. As if that 1% is ever gonna happen? I had issues when I was downloading some workouts and it would always stop at 95% or something ridonkulous! I kept losing the internet connection. I think you need to have it out with that B and put her in her place!!!

Wendy** I don't see you as the type to fall of the wagon with your workouts. Did you workout before Joey? I thought after I had DS that I wouldn't want to workout again but I did! I remember doing one of the Imax workouts and nearly DYING!

Jacque** Of course we would have to take a plane ride and spend a couple of nights away. But it would be a nice get away though. Nice workout!

I will probably bbl. DS and I have to go out and do a few things and I have a training session around 4. I feel like I need a coffee!

Lori:: I worked out on and off since high school but it never stuck (for more then 3 months) until about 9 months before I got married. I started exercising with Beach Body's Great Body Garunteed Series and never looked back! I even walked on the treadmill all week long on my honeymoon (cruise)!!! When I was pregnant with Joey I continued to work out as much as possible. The first trimester was the toughest because I was exhausted but I still managed a work out every other day. After that phase passed I was back to working out 6 days a week until the day he was born. My doctor told me not to exercise (aside from taking walks) until after he saw me at my 6 week post partum check up and made sure everything was okay. I listened but as soon as I was given the okay I was back on it. So you are right in a way...hard for me to imagine falling off the wagon over a week off but I still fear that I would because no matter what...it's soooo much easier to be lazy...period! I would probably get irritated and start back up once I started gaining weight if I did "fall off the wagon" but why even take a chance that it gets that far? I can't. I won't. So I just keep chuggin' along and take the extended rests ONLY when I NEED them (sick or life gets in way)!

Wendy .. sounds like you had a good time .. HR is a KILLER huh?? everything on me hurt for the next 2 days after doing it!!! LOL it was fun though!!

Jacque - is your back still giving you fits?? my shoulder is .. the pushups were a NO GO for the HR session .. the overheads bothered it some .. but pushups are OUT!!!

[Sunshine1528]

Back at lunch time . . .

Well Hellllloooooo Wanda ! One more to welcome you to join our little group here. We do Damage Control for whatever we need, not always exercise ! MM is a toughie and a goodie. You'll be feeling it about tomorrow night for sure.

Diana - hope the ol' laptop has been cooperating a bit more this AM. I lost power in a split second at work today - TG it was backed up. Only a couple files needed to be updated. Guess my extra power supply is not working ! So did you get a meeting with your supervisor for tomorrow? I've got a few uncomfortable issues going on too and I sure wish I was a SAHM again or that DH was a millionaire ! Don't want to work at all lately. Thinking I might hit the TM after work to 'run' some of it off.

Lori - at first I thought you meant a food delivery truck was going down your street, Schwann's or something, then figured it out that you meant your DVD's, DUH ! Good job on the w/o - do you lift heavy or are you doing endurance? Can't wait to see which DVD goes to sis . . .

Laura - Woot Woot for the boys and crossing fingers for this weekend ! My Sharkies lost Fri but won Sat. We go to see Detroit tomorrow - tough team always - hope we get to see a win. Do your friends tell SIL to stuff it or do they listen to her? She is just feeling sorry for herself but needs to leave you out of it ! Hope work goes well - at least the full moon is gone !

Wendy - LOL about wanting the rotation so you can change it ! You'll have to post "your rotation" so we can see . . .

Off to more fun fun fun (oh sure ! ! ! )

Hey Girls,

Thought I would check in again...I'm getting good at this, aren't I? LOL
Good day today, not bombarded by sessions so I felt like I had more time for DS. I even wrapped a few gifts but realized that I wasn't prepared enough for it and had to call it quits. Ugh...I still have alot of things to get.

Wendy** Nope..can't ever see you falling off the workout wagon. It is easier to be lazy but can you imagine doing nothing? People claim they don't have time As if! You either have the time or you make the time!!

Laura** Sounds like you had a good weekend and enjoyed the game. Are things strained between you and SIL right now? I probably missed those post.

Jacque** I think I am going to have a hard time figuring out which dvds to give to my sister! LOL I won't want to part with them but I don't know what else to get her!

Funny story.....I went to the grocery store today and this guy came out of the back room. I looked at him and he looked very familiar....looked like the guy I dated when I was in grade 8-9 and of course I TOTALLY LOVED him. Why? I dunno. He had the personality of a shoe and wasn't exciting at all. I probably liked him so much b/c he didn't seem to care! LOL For a short time that year we stayed in my moms home town (which is where this guy is from) b/c my dad was doing some work on my grandparents house. When the work was done,I moved home and we broke up.Even though I would see him in school but it was pointless so we decided to go our seperate ways. I don't think I wanted to break up though...so when I seen him today I was like "OMG!" LOL I dodged on and pretended I didn't see/know him b/c Im not one to approach someone. I check out, start leaving the store (he is no where in sight or so I thought) and the next thing I hear is "excuse me". I thought I had left something behind but it was him. I don't know where he came from. So we chatted for a while. He as been working there since Sept and I have never seen him there before. Of course he told me I looked good and I thought "well...yeah" LOL That's not what I said! LOL Anyway...I think we all remember those crushes from highschool.....and he was mine.

Alright...I should jet! BB in the a.m!
