Hi Ladies,

It's time for a new weekly thread. I did get the majority of my list taken care of. What a good feeling that is.

This morning I did about 85% of BM2 Cardio Blast premix. I started late so I didn't have as much time as needed. I completed the first cardio blast but then had to hit the showers.

Wendy-enjoy your rest day!

Lori-you are a busy girl. It sounds like you are already for your trip. You will have a great time. I'm a tad jealous....you'll have to post pics so your fitness buddies can live vicariously through you!

Hi Jacque, LauraT and LauraR!
 
Thanks for starting a new thread, Diana. I was slackin' this morning and didn't do it! :p BM2 cardio is tough. Good job even though you didn't have time to finish! I didn't do all of Step Moves on Sunday myself and don't feel guilty at all! :)
 
MONDAY

well CRAP what a day!! :confused: Let me start by saying - FRI went to H## in a handbasket - had problems closing - then starting feeling like CRAP - progressed during the night ?? then sAT I felt fine - was able to do STS and go fishing which was AWESOME - DB, SIL, and DN let us go on their leased land it was GREAT! Then SUNDAY - I woke up that damned kidney stone started moving - i was either on couch or in bathroom - never passed it - feel like CRAP today - back is KILLING ME and tired from pain and no sleep!! UGH - I am gonna try to teach something tonight though -I may do combo of weights and yoga - maybe the yoga will help the back!! :(

Di - i have a LIST and I never get everythign done on it :eek: LOL ..WTG on BM2 .. LOVe that workout

Wendy - saw your new recipe on FB - ok I am steeling that .. looked great!! and BTW .. LOVE the TOWER!!! OMG .. it is awesome .. not at all wobbly - very sturdy - and didnt realize how much harder the pull ups are than done w/the band - NOW GRANTED I had a 135# dog that was straddled me barking b/c he has lost his mind and TOOTS passed out oblivious to our pain!!!!! .. UGH .. the lat explosion is happening again - so I gotta watch that dang it!! But I LOVE the tower wish I had gotten it sooner!!

Lori - did you get a clarification from the dr? Man - hope they can help ..but sounds like it was GOOD news - no autism - that is great!!! DH - mine does that to me - I usually get stressed worrying about what will happen on vaca w/my animals at the house - and he doesnt give it a second thought till we are gone and then brings it up - and I freak -imagine if we had kids ?? I would be like the over protective INSANE paranoid mthr that everyone talks about :eek: :p

Hello to all that follow!

OK .. hoping I survive class - maybe yoga will help the back spasms!!! have a great one!
 
Good Morning!:)

I set my alarm for 5:30 but went back to sleep for another 30 mins. Now I am chugging my coffee and trying to figure out which workout to do.

I posted yesterday morning on the other thread (duh:rolleyes:) so Im not sure if anyone seen it.

Diana** We are pretty much all ready. I guess packing will be taking place tonight or tomorrow. Don't worry...I am sure there will be lots of pics.

Laura** Oh DH is being a real knob about it now. Says its gonna be tough...yada...yada...and I can even tell its bothering him by the way he is acting around the kids. Oh well....that's all we can do now. Sorry to hear your still in pain....geez! I hope to never have a repeat. Mine was over 10yrs ago now. Some people are prone to getting them. I think if I were I would have had another one by now.

I will bbl to report!

Lori:)
 
Just popping in quickly to report my work out!

Squeeze: Power Squeeze (30m f/b w/o including abs)
IMAX3: W/U + blasts only 1-7

DONE!:D

BBIAB!:cool:
 
Hi Girls

I am at work now, enjoying a coffe. I am only here for a short time before I have to head out and pick DS up for an appt with the speech therapist.

Today's workout was 20 mins on the TM, 10 mins on the bike, 4DSBC, KB abs and shoulders. A better workout then I thought I was gonna get, thats for sure.

Think I am going to call and cancel the nail appt I made for tomorrow. My nails seem to have grown. My thumbs leave little to be desired but I know what those nails to do natural nails and it will take forever for my nails to recover from it. I am sure I will end up breaking one after I cancel the appt. But it gives me another 2 hours tomorrow!

Wendy** Nice workout!

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I slept great until about 4:45 when I woke up all congested. I have a terrible sinus headache and will be taking something for that.

My shipping notice indicates the Asylum w/o's should be delivered on Thursday. I'll probably review the materials Friday night and start on Saturday.

Yesterday I ran outside at lunch for 40 minutes. It was in the 50's but the breeze was cold. I haven't decided if I'll be working out this morning or not. I've been considering giving Circuit Blast another try. I think I've only done it once/twice and if I remember right, it seemed to work a lot of shoulders but not all the other body parts.

Lori-I did see you and Wendy's post on the previous thread. That's what prompted me to start the new week, neither one of you did...slackers I say! I'm not a fan of acrylics either. I'm actually a nail biter...sad to say at my age, so I rarely paint my fingernails. You and DH can call the kids everyday, and sometimes you just need couple time alone.

Wendy-Nice w/o girl. The blasts only sound tough. I haven't done that premix in ages. Sounds like I'm going to have to pop over to FB and check out your new recipe!

LauraT-hope you are feeling better. Can't the dr. give you something when you have these damn kidney stones? I've never had one, but it sounds worse than giving birth. I used the Door Gym for pullups and haven't yet tried the tower for those.

LauraR-where are you today? Wondering how long it takes to get to the states from Uganda?

Jacque-hope all is well with you. I'm taking a resume writing/cover letter/job search class at our local community college. It's tonight and next Tuesday night. Hopefully by the end of it I will have a polished resume and cover letter, and can appropriately update my LinkedIn account.
 
TUE

I FEEL BETTER - relief!!! :D:D:D have not passed it .. but it has settled .. and I will take that for now!! :D FINALLY got a great night's sleep last night .. first time in forever!!! :D I managed class last night - ended up doing 1 min cardio blast and triple set shaping progressive weights ;) I got ticked b/c I was struggling so - then I guess adreneline kicked b/c I got ticked and powered thru it!! but crashed on couch when I got home!

Wendy - great workout!

Lori - IA w/Di - sometimes grown ups need their ALONE time - afterall you gotta rock the sexy VS BS right??? Did you get clarification on your son's diagnosis? hoping it is a good one!

Di - yes I have meds to take - just cant work/drive or function when taking them - so I put it off till last minute - usually when the stone is moving thru the kidney and UT is when the back spasms/pain starts and that was what was happing - think the sucker is stuck right now - or settled down in bladder for now!! ;) I'll take it right now - a little repreive from pain!!!

LauraR - Safe travels!!

Jacque - hope everythign is well with you!

OK .. soooooooo today not sure what I am gonna do - if still feeling good may do my 4 step torture class :eek: have not done that in a while!! may do a quick walk at lunch ?? .. we will see!! OK .. have a great one .. gotta jet!!! ;)
 
LauraT:: I am happy to hear that you like the tower. I think the bottom "bolts" in mine need to be tightened. I think they have loosened up a bit from having to store mine every time I am done using it. I will just tighten em up quick before I use it next time. No big deal. :) I am jealous of your lat explosion! How can I get some of that? ;)

Diana:: The last recipe I made was for a chicken and broccoli casserole. A serving is 7 WW points, btw and it's very yummy!!! I am strongly considering joining WW soon-like by this weekend! Jen has been telling me a lot about it and I want to give it a shot! :) Sorry about the congestion and headache. Hope it dissapates quickly for you.

Lori:: I saw your post on the other thread and responded too. :)
 
Hey Girls

This tuesday as been a good one. Normally I am ran off of my feet and don't have enough time to finish my work. But I actually have it all done and am waiting to go home:) DD wants to have her friends over for supper and also bake a cake:confused: So I need to run to the store on my way home. Then I am gonna swing by my friends house and pick up the lulu she bought for me:eek::p I asked how much I owed her so I could write a check but she said we could swap for workouts!!!!:eek: I was getting prepared to write a check for almost $300 bones. Now I will never be caught!!!!! LOL

Diana** Im not a biter but my nails spilt and then I sit and pick at them until they are gone. I canceled my appt though. I am going to fix them up myself and not take 2 hours out of my day tomorrow. Plus I know I will regret it. What kind of reading material comes with the new dvds?

Laura** All they really said was that DS has "behavioral issues". Now right off the bat you would think...bad behaviour but that's not what they mean. They mean any behaviors...like the way he behaves....like the fact that he is behind, the fact that he doesn't answer questions...and so on. I am going to ask his behavioral specialist tomorrow to just spit it out. Is he slow? Will he catch up? I guess no one really knows the answer to that one. Glad to hear you are feeling better!

O.k...I am gonna mop the floor me thinks!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning

I am starting to get excited now I set my alarm for 6 to get up and get most of my workout done but thought that if I was still tired I would go back to sleep. Anyway...Im up. I think if it were a normal day I would still be sleepy.

I packed my bags last night so that's one less thing I need to do today and I also made a list of the things I need to finish. I won't go into detail about all of the other things I need to do today.......

O.k..so today I am going to try and do all of the GS's UB workouts....either GS legs standing or LBB...and a run at some point in time. I know...this is gonna take up alot of my day but that is why I am up so early. I should be able to get the GS' UB workouts done before anyone even wakes so it will be no different then if I slept in

I will bbl to report my workout. I will probably say my goodbyes tonight b/c I probably won't have any computer time tomorrow!

Hi Ladies,

Yesterday morning I did circuit blast and it was a lot more fun than I remember. I wish the cardio sections were longer, but it was nice and it fit just right into my timeframe. I also ran over 5 miles yesterday at lunch. I couldn't believe I ran that far and still felt great. I was a little sore last night and took some ibuprofen.

This morning is a weight day. Muscle Max or STS TB will work. For some reason it takes me longer to get through STS TB, but I really like all the leg work.

Last night was the first night of resume writing class. We have homework...write a resume. Guess I'm forced to do that now. It was a fairly good class, but I thought we'd get more tips/tricks. He talked a lot about the pre/post interview process. How to make your resume stand out etc.

Lori-have you tried putting a clear coat or nail enricher on your nails? I have something called solar oil that helps the nail and cuticles. The dvd's will come with the 3 rotations, how to use the dvd's, nutrition plan etc. Have fun with GS today!

Wendy-Nice w/o this morning. Are you planning on following the WW online, or going to meetings? I've had success in the past with this program. Do you have any weight to lose? I'm sure you will do great on the program. I'm down 2.4lbs from last week. I wish I could just have a steady downward experience, but the truth is my weight fluctuates daily/weekly and I can't seem to get below a certain weight. It's quite frustrating. I know it is a food issue and that's why I always end up back at WW.

LauraT-I do not know how you can w/o with a kidney stone. Will there be more pain when it passes? Kind of like you know its coming, but don't know when it will hit. Good for you for keeping up with your w/o's anyway. Did you order the new Insanity Asylum DVD's. Mine will be here tomorrow.

bbl if possible
 
WED - HUMP DAY .. WOOT WOOT COME ON WEEKEND!

Hey Ladies!

Well last night I did a combo of my reg 4 step torture (plank, pushup, plyo) and my mish mosh class (KB, plyo, weighted plyo, lunges, squats, planks) - I thought it was an AWESOME workout! DOMS: slightly in the butt, hammies, core and shoulders. One of my girls posted on FB - O -U -C -H!!!!!!!!!! {{{{ insert evil accomplished grin }}}}} Today no class - we are having a GGT for one of the "the gang" - CABS all around :eek: - I may TRY to hit heavy legs in the gym at lunch - but I have to get a gift and have some errands to run ~ so IDK!

Lori - WOOHOO I know you are excited - I take it you are leaving tmrw? OH MAN!!! I got my travel document from the travel agency today for my trip - a sudden fear of WAIT: I AM NOT WHERE I WANT MY BODY TO BE HIT ME!! :confused: YIKES!! OK .. so where is the pic of your GUNS on Wendy's FB??? I bet you will beat that girl she posted .... LOL . you two are killing me!! Have a SAFE and FUN trip .. and ROCK that VS BS on the beach ok? Your DH will be saying "OH YA - she is MINE!!!" :D ;)

Wendy - I need to send a pic of my lat explosion - but would KILL you if you posted it - I put on TWO shirts this morning and they were too tight in the chest/back/armpit :mad: and it damned sure isnt b/c my BOOBS are exploding!! :mad:

Di - yes the kidney stone - it has settled right now - when it moves I am in a LOT of pain - but then it eases up and OH MAN do I feel better - and yes it is a I KNOW IT IS COMING kinda waiting game - and it will NO DOUBT hit me when I LEAST want it to!!! Passing it is THE WORST - I am DONE for when that hits - and popping meds!!! MY VBF is going to start WW - told her about online - she used to do it - and has the book etc - so I think she is just gonna do it on her own - I told her about online support - but not sure if she is interested in that!

hello to all that follow!

OK - better get to work - ya'll have a great one!!! :D
 
Diana:: I will be joining WW online. I know me. I wouldn't go to meetings. They'd probably look at me like I was nuts anyway cause I am only look too look maybe 7 pounds but I'm not having much success doing it on my own and I think WW could help. Circuit Blast is a nice little circuit work out but it seems to work the shoulders a lot more then any other upper body part IMO. Haven't done it in a while. Maybe I'll do it during my next active recovery from STS which is coming up next week!:)

Lori:: I sent you a PM here incase you didn't notice it! :) Have fun on vacation girly! :cool: Soooo jealous! :eek:

LauraT:: Silly girl, I wouldn't post your pic publicly unless you wanted me too! You gotta send it now b/c I'm curious. If you need my email address I will PM it to you. Just let me know.
 
Ya Wendy PM me your email - I have one from a while back - not sure if it is still good or not tho!!!!

I just found out I have to lead a division safety meeting tmrw :eek: OMG .. I AM NOT A PUBLIC SPEAKER - I stutter when i am nervous .. and say UMMMM UMMMMM UMMMM too much- too self conscious - I will look like I have hives from nerves ... aaaahhhh ..I am gonna look like a bumbling idiot!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: aaahhhhhhh - i am freaking out!
 
Good Morning!:)

Just a quick check in to say good bye for a week:D:p I probably won't be back here until next Friday. I did all of the workouts I wanted yesterday which was GS UB, Kari Andersons abs, LBB Standing work and 12.5 k run outside! My UB is soooo sore this morning.

We are pretty much ready to go. Just need to pack some final things!

Chat when I get home!

Lori:)
 
HAVE A BLAST LORI! And don't worry about your kids. They'll be fine!:D

Okay, BBC Arms and Abs and Shoulders and Back Cardios Only plus standing obliques from S&B.....DONE!:D Take THAT, last night's dinner and @ Houlihan's! :p

BBIAB!:cool:
 
Hi ladies,

I'm taking an unscheduled rest day today. I didn't sleep very well last night. My laser appt is tonight and I'm getting pretty nervous. I'm sure it will be fine when the time comes and will be much quicker than I thought. They gave me a prescription for anti inflammatory meds that I have to start taking today.

Lori-have a wonderful time on vacation. I can't wait to see all the pics! You did a marathon w/o yesterday!!

Wendy-So you did 2 BBC cardio's back to back....Awesome!!! I hope WW works for you. It does help me to make healthier choices, and manage how much food I'm shoving in my mouth. I almost think therapy would be better for me to overcome my overeating issue. Growing up in a "clean your plate" era certainly didn't help.

LauraT-I know what you mean about having shirts tight in the back. That ocassionaly happens to me to. I don't know that it's due to lat explosion though...but I do love working my back with heavy weights...thanks to Cathe.

LauraR-Are you in the States yet? I can't imagine where your travels take you.
