Good Morning Girls.

Rest day for me today so no work out to report. Hope everyone survives this Monday and I'll be back after work to chat!

:)
 
Good Morning Lovelies!:)

Im feeling pretty good even though I had a hard time getting to sleep. I checked on DS before we went to bed and covered him up, I knew I had disturbed him but I was hoping he was going to go right back to sleep. Just as I get in my bed...I hear him coming to get into ours. That's when he tossed and turned and did it all. The dog was in and out from in under the bed, DH was coughing, DD was getting ready for bed so you could hear everything she was doing...you name it...it was happening:confused: I finally took him back out into his own bed and took my pillow with me but my pillow seemed really high in his bed and was resting his head on my pillow as well. So I get up again and swtich pillows with DD. Then I have to get him some juice! The last time I looked at the clock it was 12:46. I don't think I was up much after that.

Todays workout is gonna be cardio and disc 3. I should have lots of time to do it b/c there isn't much going on here today. My dog is sheding and I don't know why. Isn't it to early? Could it be b/c of the weird weather we are having? Well, its freezing out today...maybe the sheding with stop! LOL If not he will be awfully cold for the next few monthes. As soon as I got home yeseterday I swept and mopped downstairs, then I vacummed the family room. One of DH's friends came for a visit this weekend ( if your wondering "NO" we are never home alone, as soons as one person leaves, someone else shows up!") and when I look he is petting the dog full force and Im thinking...COME OFF OF IT! Do you not see the fur that is flying everywhere??? All the work I just did was pretty pointless.

I am going to read yesterdays thread and see what I missed!

Diana** In our dressers we have these little drawers that no one really knows are drawers. This is where DH pokes all of his papers. Every time I clean off his dresser I just open up that drawer and sweep it all in. I don't know whats what. There are all kinds of receipts there. Most of it is probably junk but I dont touch it b/c I know the moment I do, he will be looking for something. He actually cleaned it out once with the intentions of going through it, all of the junk ended up in a bag and now that is on the floor between the dresser and the bed:confused: I guess your lucky your even getting raises the way things are lately? Is it getting any better in the U.S yet? I haven't really been keeping track of it.

Jacque** Glad to hear GS is doing alot better. He is probably feeling 100% better today. Nothing a good nights sleep and some juice can't fix.Its been a while since DS has been sick (knock on wood)! We don't want another week like we had last year!

Wendy** Hope you have a good day at work!

Laura and Jen** Hope everything is o.k!

Really hoping my workouts show up today!!!

Popping it to say Good Morning Ladies !

Yes, putting off getting ready for work although I just finished a spreadsheet I need for today. ;) Drinking my "foffee" and iced my back from the deadlifts y'day which made it a tad bit sore. STS is definitely giving my muscles a workout - I'm going one weight down from where I started last year in most of the exercises and it is still giving me DOMS so . . .

Wendy - Well I didn't double up y'day so may actually do MMA Boxing at lunch and then my STS Legs tonight. We'll see. Hope work went well for you. Do they know you are leaving or are you waiting for your pre emp test to come back?

Lori - Sorry you had a restless nights sleep. The STS seems to be working well for me as even though I woke about 2 I was right back to sleep until 6. Yee Haw ! I'm lovin' it. Perhaps tonight will be better for you. LOL about DH putting his papers in a bag on the floor - guess where all my bills from a couple of months are? :eek: That's where they ended up when Xmas was happening here and I needed to clean the desk off. I do need to purge my bills files and didn't have the time then. When I get my weekends back (hopefully this coming Sat) I'll be doing that probably first.

Diana - I'll go ahead and book the hotel unless you want to. Hope your first day back after all this time off goes well for you.

Laura & Jen - Hey Girls !

Stalled long enough - until later.
 
Hello ladies ..

VERY cold weekend to report .. it was 15 this morning .. my friend in West Palm Beach, FL said it was35 and she is freezing her arse off .. they certainly are not used to that kind of cold .. we were in the teens at night and the high never got over 31 .. so everything is frozen .. our pond is 1/3 way frozen over . . in all my years I have NEVER known that to happen :confused:

I did MMA Fusion SAT ... OMG .. it was TOTALLY FUN .. but I was not expecting to have DOMS from it .. OK ystdy my hamstrings hurt to walk .. and the arms were sore from punching ... I havent done "kickboxing" in forever but this realy wasnt kickboxing .. it was different and I had a blast doing it .. but surely wasnt expecting to be this sore .. those loons on the boards dont know what they are talking about ... LOL!! no workout to report ystdy was doming too bad!

Lori - my babies are shedding too .. whats up with that? they stay inside so I was thinking it was the heat .. but have had 2 friends say their pets are shedding too .. ODD!!! LOL about the friend petting and fur flying .. I FEEL YOUR PAIN .. LOL :p

Jacque .. ITA about the Cathe workouts .. and yes she has to have thick skin .. I couldnt do it .. I was PI$$ED for her just reading the posts .. I dont see how she does it .. anyone w/any sense at all should be able to adjust their workouts if they feel something is lacking in the video .. and yes .. if you dont like most of Cathe's workouts and have to complain about everything .. DONT BUY THEM .. LOL!! GEEEESH!!!! I guess thinking about my classes I put so much work into them that if someone was trashing them or me I would go ballistic .. I used to have one girl like that .. no matter what I did she would say it was too easy even though she didnt do 1/2 the exercises I finally ended up telling her if she put forth the effort and actually did the workout maybe she would find it tougher and if she was in such fine physical shape my classes were not benefiting her she should go elsewhere ... :mad: .. she stayed a little longer but kept her mouth shut from then on :p .. hoping the DGS is better ...

Wendy .. congrats on the new floor .. doncha love getting new stuff!!!

Di .. SIL and I are gonna start STS weights back .. I forgot the disc today .. so we will start back tmrw .. ugh .. I am already dreading the pushups!!:confused:

OK .. better run ...have a great day ..stay warm .. tonights class will be circuit class and it is gonna be a killer!!!! :eek:
 
Hey Girls!

Just getting a few minutes to surf the web:D I did my workout early, laundry,cleaned up a bit and then after lunch DS and I ran to a couple of stores. It is sooo cold outside and its getting windier! I really hate everything about winter:confused:

My workout this a.m was ME abs, 30 mins on the TM (3.5 miles) then 4DSBC and then disc #3. I will probably go ahead and do disc 4 tomorrow b/c I am back to work on wed so I probably won't do weights on those 2 days.

Jacque** Once we actually got to sleep, we were o.k and we didn't get up until 8:30 or so...so I don't feel to bad. It wasn't easy getting comfortable in a twin bed either. I was thinking about it while I was lying there and our friend is moving out in Feb, that means DD is moving in her room cause its a really big room , then DS will probably move into DD's old room. Now he can have a double bed in his room b/c in his old room there isn't that much room. Im not going to buy him a new bedroom set....and she needs one. I guess there will just be lots of room in his room!
On average what weights do you use for UB? I think I was using 15's and 12's mostly the other day. Chest I used 20's I think. I never did do the 1RM.

Laura** Im kinda glad that I have decided we aren't going anywhere this year b/c its freezing everywhere. Its just as well I stay here and freeze my buns off! Yeah, I was just a little bit irritated with our friend:confused: He said "well, someone as to touch him" That rubbed me the wrong way as well, and not just b/c I am pms'ing. We pay attention to him but he is the kind of dog that once you do, you arent going to get rid of him. He can't get close enough, he would crawl up your hole if he could!:eek: Our other dog would just sit there and soak up the petting, then if he wanted more he would nudge you. This guy, the moment you touch him, he is trying to crawl up in your arms and with the sheding he is doing...no thank you!

BBL!

Hiya girlies!

I see I've missed a lot these past couple weeks with all the chatter going on over the Shock Cardio series! Are you all lovin' it? What are everyone's favorites? Maybe I shouldn't be asking that seeing I'm trying to stay away from it for a while :p because Christmas really set me back. It's going to take me months to recover from that so I better behave and keep the credit card tucked away for a while.

Work is still busy and has made it hard to check in here :( I apologize for my absence of late. I'm going to try harder to get here every day, though it will require a nightly battle with my kids for the computer, I'm sure ;)

I'm half way through Jilian's 30 Day Shred rotation and I'm really liking it. I think I'll be sticking with it for a while, especially since it allows me to work out in the living room rather than the garage.

Well, I'll "see" everyone tomorrow when I get to work. My kids are driving me CRAZY right now and making it impossible to concentrate. Have a great night all!

Back to report MMA Boxing sans core work done ! It was fun though I had a bit of a hard time twisting since one side of my back is a tad bit sore from the Back & Tri's y'day. Got a bit sweaty though and heard myself breathing ! Woo Hoo ! :p

Laura - so sorry for the cold weather back there. We are about 15' from AM to PM around the low 60's during the day to mid 40's at night. Not too bad since it hasn't been wet but that is coming soon for a couple days. Hope it warms up for all of you soon. Otherwise y'all may need to make a trip out here to Cali ! :D Haven't done MMA Fusion yet - can't wait cuz I rarely have hammie DOMS. Tomorrow is STS legs so hope it doesn't come around anytime soon. I am soo out of shape right now. :rolleyes:

Lori - good to hear you got some sleep, just a little later than planned huh? I have been using about the same as you but for the bi's/tri's it's been more like 10 & 12. Back/chest was 15 & 20. Shoulders in between depending on the exercise. I still have major tendonitis in one elbow so it makes some of the exercises more difficult. I do think the lifting, even though it hurts at the time, is helping it though. Last time I lifted it was better a couple days later and today feels pretty good too. Sure hoping to stick to the rotation at least 5 days a week if not more for a while here.

Laura/Lori - I have parrots and the outdoor weather affects their molting tons. Think that is what the dogs are going through for you guys. The weather has been so backwards the poor animals don't know what to do for their coats. :eek:

JEN ! ! ! :eek: You made it ! CONGRATS GIRLIE if you didn't see my FB post ! Good to hear you're hanging in there. I love the BL workouts - have most of Jillian's and Shred is great. Did that one for a few weeks a while back. I like the cardio/combo moves lots. Enjoy. Hope you figure out how to "make the kids go to their rooms" so you can get some computer time ! ;) Nice to hear you are working out in the house rather than the cold garage where you'd most like get sick.

Diana - tough day back at work? Review go OK? I never got my doubles in today - heart was doing some weird beats at work this AM so put MMA off until I got home. TG it got better - I actually called DH to see if he was in town cuz I wasn't sure what was going on. Feels good now though and MMA is already done.

Toodles for the night -
