Morning Girlies. :)

My butt cheeks are still sore from saturday's work out. Gotta love it! ;)

Today is cardio only. I have a Kim Spreen work out I bought cheap off Amazon a couple weeks ago and haven't tried yet *gasp* so I think that'll have to be on this morning's agenda. Tomorrow is Insanity: PCC. :eek:

Quiet day here y'day. Hope everyone is well!

Hi ladies,

We enjoyed a nice weekend with our friends from Nebraska. We stayed up late Saturday night visiting and were up early on Sunday. They headed out around 1:30 yesterday. Then I ran some errands and came home and took nap.

No workout to report for yesterday. I was a little disappointed by this, but reviewed my w/o calendar and realized I've been getting in 6 w/o's per week. :D This morning will be STS CST. I struggled with the weight increases last week (especially biceps) so I'm repeating those same w/o's again this week. They are made to be done for 2 weeks anyway.

DS2 got a job at Radio Shack and starts this week. He mentioned he would be coming home soon. He has a whole new perspective on things now. I was talking to MIL and she said he probably just needed to get away for a while. Also, she said he is such a great kid and has been so helpful to her during her recovery.:)

Wendy-I may join you tomorrow, as I want to get back to Insanity too. MIS is a great full body w/o. Nice job splitting it up to fit your needs. Enjoy your KS today!

Lori-MIST is Insanity's Max Interval Sports Training. It sounds like you are coming up with a plan to complete your PT course!

Good Morning Laura and Jacque!

I was running late this morning so I didn't have time to come back and do my usual w/o report...

I did KS Cardio Camp as planned. It's set up like this:

w/u...alternating hi/lo and kickbox segments (3 of each IIRC) and then she blends all the hi/lo together and then all the kickbox together...last is a leg sculpting segment and a stretch.

I used weighted gloves for all of the cardio except for the w/u and first hi/lo. I didn't feel like putting them on and taking them off every time she switched between hi/lo and k/b. It worked out fine. I also held a 6# med ball for most of the leg sculpting segment. As written it's done w/o any weights at all. Nice work out. 70 mins. The work out seemed to start out slow. Thought it might be a dud but it turned out not to be! I'm happy with it. I couldn't "get" a couple of the hi/lo moves so I just faked it as best I could and it was fine. Loved her k/b tho. As always! :)

Diana:: Yeah- I am actually going to do my weekend weight work outs like that for a little while now. I enjoyed it. I will keep my other weight work out during the week in tact though. So you want to do PCC tmrw or will you do a different Insanity? Jen is doing a couple weeks of M2 work outs mixed with full body weights. 3 days insanity/2 days f/b weights. Hurts me just thinking about it! :p She already did it with M1 for a month though! Glad you enjoyed the time with your guests this weekend. So you took a nap? A girl after my own heart! :) That's great news about DS2!

Hi ladies !

Well another week bites the dust for me. Sounds like you all have been keeping busy and getting most of your workouts it ! :D

(So after I got near the bottom thought I'd just say I'm venting and if you don't want to hear complaining you can skip the rest !) :p

Was supposed to have a half day off on Friday and had BIG plans but the ol' HR issues cropped their ugly heads. That and the fact that I lost it and vented completely to our consultant. Hope that didn't blow it and she'll keep quiet ! :confused: By the time I got home at almost 3 PM I was in a bad mood and made DH take me out for dinner.

Oh yea, prior to that DS1 had asked me to call him. He'll be looking into a possible move to AZ with the GS's. :( It would be a great move for their family to possibly get ahead in life where it is less expensive so DIL can stay home to take care of the boys. And he'll be closer to Corp where he'd eventually like to get into training or managing districts, etc. I'll be positive though it will break my heart to have them farther away. It is hard enough to get up to see them with work, w/o's and trying to keep the house in semi-decent order (seem to be failing at most of that now ! :mad:). He did remember my request to stay close to Southwest Airlines so I can make cheap flights ! :p We'll see how that pans out in the next few weeks. They got a notice at their apt that they'll have to move out for renovations and at this point he's about an hour away from the store he's managing. Nuf bout that.

So I'm off today too but did nothing this weekend - headache all day Sat and half of y'day ! Trying to figure out if there is an answer for this since I've done all the allergy testing. Guess I'll go back to the allergist and see what other options there might be? I can't live this way. I think another option might be migraine meds - the Excedrin migraine doesn't work and neither do the standard decongestants or antihistamines.

Want to attack my house today and plant some winter veggies - think I may be too late but we have sun all week until the end when the rains come. May work out . . . we'll see. Will try to decide on a w/o a bit later - need to get my mojo back and get motivated !

Wendy - woo hoo on your w/o rotations lately. Great job and you're getting great DOMS for sure ! Sounds like the weekend was a fun one for you and family.

Lori - man the PT thing is working very well for you already. Hope you get the whole thing figured out. Great job on the short/fast run and workout this AM.

Diana - I'm with Wendy - heck when DH has family come over it is my job to clean the house. He mows the lawns ! :rolleyes: Good news about DS2. Hope that it all works out well and he and DH can get back on a good track. Nice to hear you decided on getting help for your pain issues. Sounds so good you'll be able to do a few things you'd like to but haven't been able to.

Laura - Think I missed something along the way about DH's results but sounds like all is going OK. SIL . . . sure hope she can come around to reality. Can't wait to hear how the games went this weekend !

Time to get something accomplished ! BBL.
 
(((Jaque))): If the consultant you are working with is at all professional I would hope she will not blab whatever it is you said to her. I know I wouldn't. I would take it in confidence as I would expect the same in return. I don't blame you for making your DH take you out for dinner on Friday. I would have too. Hope you drowned your sorrows in a yummy CAB while you were there! :) I am sure you are sad about the possiblity of your DS moving away but hey, it's an excuse for a few long weekends/mini-vacations to fly out to see him every year! Not so bad after all, ey? ;):D Thanks re this rotation. I'm sticking to it because I am really enjoying it AND I am seeing results DESPITE what the stubborn numbers say! :p I think I am in week 5 and I'm still going strong! I want to finish out the month and then move on to something different even though it breaks my heart to have to change it. BOOH. It'll be 7 weeks by then though so I really should change it up.
 
Wendy - popped in after checking a few emails to see if you had been bored enough to come on back by for a few ! ;) Let's see . . . yep I was right ! Ha !

ITA and I specifically told her NOT to say anything. She has a habit of saying "between you and me . . . " and since I'm HR I'm not sure if she only tells me things because we are both working on fixing issues within the mangement team, or whether she does that with everyone. I'll never know, but in the end, perhaps a few of my concerns might be made know to others that I am totally serious. I allow others to take advantage of me, my own fault, as I continue to tell others they have choices. I do too and I know it. Time to work on myself I KNOW. Problem is the strategy which I've been working on. I'm butting heads with some strong executive personalities but the consultant could actually be an alliance for that as SHE is the one making strides with the "guys". ;)

As far as the kids moving, yep saddened, but ITA with what you said. Though I was looking forward to the weekend soccer games,etc. :confused: Perhaps I'll have to get the company to open a location wherever they move to? Ha!

So you've been doing cardio & wts daily? Is that what is working for you? I think that is what I NEED, but then again, what I NEED is to workout daily first? DOH ! :eek:

Hope your day goes by quickly . . . C U L8R
 
Jacque:: My rotation approach these past several weeks has been very cardio heavy. 4-5 days per week of cardio (45 mins-60 mins each) w/1-2 days per week of weight training (full body via straight weight work out or circuit). I made a small change just this past weekend though. I split up my weekend f/b work out into lower one day and upper the next and paired them both with a shorter cardio work out. I will continue to do that thru the end of this rotation while keeping my 2nd f/b work out in tact. I am not sticking with strictly strength or endurance weight work either. I am changing it up. As for the cardio, I started out with mostly k/b and step but added in 2 days per week of Insanity since the beginning of November. Oh and ab work 5 days a week. 6 if I can swing it! So there ya have it...my grandmaster plan! :p
Sounds like you are so busy trying to help the other employees at work that you have forgotten to help yourself! Pull that consultant over to your side so that she can get you "in" with the boys whom you currently seem to be at an impass with. Sounds like she could be very valuable to you. Keep her close! :)

Hey, I found a couple of P90X/Insanity hybrid rotations on the web. I'm very tempted to give it a shot as my next rotation to possibly start November 29th or December 6th! :eek::D

It's either that or a Slim Series/Insanity hybrid!! Can you GET any different?? :p
