Damage Control...Sunday!

Good Morning Girlies!

Well we had fun y'day at the bbq. We got there just after 3 and were the first to arrive! That surprised me as we are usually late everywhere we go! LOL My FIL had it set up so that we could hang out in the shade (it wasn't humid but it was hot and the sun was strong!) so that was nice. Once everyone started arriving, the alcohol started flowing and the kereoke machine came out, it got interesting!

Diana:: Glad BC class was still awesome even with a sub. That's great! I guess your instructor hand picks the people that will fill in for her so she knows you'll get your money's worth. Smart move! Sorry your DS is having job and x troubles. Will you allow him to move back home (even temporarily) should he decide his move out there isn't working out? Is Jerod complaining about the loss of screen time? Good thing he likes to read or he'd probably be driving you and DH batty! LOL Hope you got a lot of laundrymax and cleanmax accomplished y'day. I washed the floor y'day morning but didn't have time for much else. Hopefully I can do a little housework today.

Today's work out is Mix It Up plus a short cardio. Right now I have BL Cardio Max picked out. We'll see what happens though.... We might be heading to the beach where DH's cousin will launch his wave runner later. That should be a good time.

BBL!

Morning Ladies,

It's so nice to get up to a clean house! DS2 finally came home last night and dropped off his laundry...He's been house/dog sitting for the past 2 weeks. It's nice just having one kid around...that equals no fighting in my house Friday was the last day of Jerod's camp and he is going to be spending a few days with his grandma this week. She is 70 yrs old, good health, but she has a to-do list that the grandkids usually help her with. Also, she said she likes to have a little one on one time with each of her grandchildren.

The only w/o I got yesterday was cleanmax, and the eating was terrible. I'm going to start a new rotation, it's one of Cathe's Jan rotations..maybe '09's...not sure though. It has a nice mix of cardio and weight training. I feel like I've been slacking on the weights, especially upper body. I do enjoy the kb's but I don't get the same results from those. I want some definition in my arms.

We are in the middle of a re-fi, got a great rate too. This is the time to re-fi. If you're thinking about go check the rates. We are getting 4.375%(could be 4.25%) on a 15yr conventional mortgage. Hopefully this will put us where we want to be when it gets closer to retirement.

Wendy-NO..You need to do the Insanity workout!!! I need your opinion of it! Of course we would let DS1 move back in if need be. His girls are in Oregon and if he wants to be a part of their lives he needs to be there too. I'm just hoping he can make it work.

Off to w/o...bbl to see what all my other girls are up to.

Hi Girls!

I just finished my work out....BL Cardio Max segment 2 (10 minutes), SS Mix It Up, BL Cardio Max segment 3 (10 minutes), stretch. It was fun and intense. Time for some food and a shower now!

Diana:: I have the Insanity work out slated for Tuesday. I am not dumb enough to try to do it on the same day as an SS work out and Tuesday is the day I would do cardio only. Sorry to make ya wait! Nice job on the refi. We really will never look to refi this house. Can't get much lower then where we are at now (low 4's) but if there was a chance to get low enough to make it worth it, trust me, we would do it in a heart beat! What we really wanna do is move but I think we are resigned to staying put for a while. Ooooh Cathe's Jan rotations are killer! They are usually heavy on the cardio. Enjoy it! That is right up your alley!

Okay, off I go...BBL though!

Morning Ladies !

Got about half a weight workout in yesterda , Power Hour legs, chest & back. Will finish up bis, tris & shoulders today. Didn't get home last night until 12 AM so was very tired as that was 3 hrs past my bed time ! Slept in and it is now 10 AM so thinking I'll do a quickie cardio - 1/2 hour of TM intervals/HIIT, BL cardio or perhaps IMax blasts only? We'll see if I get moving here. Ugly outside still and that surely doesn't motivate me much.

Wendy - I just loved the season passes - with Joey getting older it could be a very valuable gift ! Good job on the workouts - did you drink lots of water yesterday? LOL about CABs & karaoke - funny how the two mix into such a great time ! Hope you get a chance to go to the beach with the wave runner - that would be very fun !

Diana - that indian run sounds fun - great way to get a little sprint of sorts in there. Sounds like a great sub for the class. Hope DS1 has things smooth out for him. Such a heartbreak for you I am sure. Wish all parents just looked out for the best of the kids and didn't cause problems. Hopefully his X will think of the girls. Xing fingers he can find a job, though next door neighbors DS2 is from Portland, has been out of work for months and has been here in town for 2 weeks now. Is employment up there worse than other areas? Poor guy . . . LOL about "making" Wendy do Insanity. Reviews on it are so crazy wild, huh?

P.S. I wanted to refi but our home prices have dropped drastically - our equity line was even suspended. If you don't mind me asking, did you go through a nationwide lender or local? I was looking to refi a 30 yr fixed in case one of our jobs goes south - then our monthly payment would be at least $500 less per month. I always pay extra principal to get ours paid off quicker. We are at 6% so I was looking for about 5%. Have any suggestions? TIA !

OK - off to do something . . . hopefully productive !

Will check in later girls . . .

Hi ladies,

I did Bodymax original this morning. It was so fun...I desperately needed the upper body work too. Tomorrow calls for a 35 min interval run and coremax 1, but I'm going to do another fave-Imax 3.

It's almost time for Jerod to go back to school and that means I need to set my alarm for at least an hour earlier. I'm sure it will be fine once I get back in the groove of getting up earlier. It's been nice that the drop off time for summer camp is between 7-10am and I took full advantage of it.

Wendy-I guess I'll have to wait 'til Tuesday for my review. The rotation has 4DS in it so it may be from '09. It has a nice mix of cardio and weights. I'm hoping to start another round of STS after Shock Cardio is released.

Jacque-Sounds like you have tough cardio planned for today. Enjoy whatever you decide. I used bankrate.com. You could check the rates in your area. We are using a direct lender that offers all kinds of programs. Although our home prices have dropped too, we've been here for 10 years and have built up enough equity that it isn't hurting us. Of course we wouldn't consider selling right now because it wouldn't be worth it. We were at 14 years and are adding an extra year. Amanda's parents and grandparents told us the job market was terrible before DS moved out there. What's he supposed to do, she took his kids and moved back home. Hopefully something will come along soon.
