Good Morning!

Just put the dog out...brrrrrr is all I have to say!

No workout for me yesterday. I decided to take a rest day:D Aren't you proud of me!?;) By the time I got home from the dentist and ate, it was 8 p.m. Then DD wanted to run out to get some headbands and we didn't get home until 9:30. Its o.k though, I don't mind taking a rest day...we need to. I probably should be taking more then I do actually. I don't shop very much partly b/c I have DS all the time and its not worth the pain but when DD and I went out last night we went to one of the dollar stores and they have so much cute stuff. My SIL is always picking up stuff there and when I ask her where she got it she will say "the dollar store...but you don't shop there":confused: and Im like "noooo, I just don't shop for the fun of it" Its get in and get out. Anyway, I bought him some cute halloween socks, some cups and a new toy.

The dentist told me that my tooth was fine...phew..but I do have a cavitity on top..the very last tooth. That should be fun getting filled. Its so hard when they are way in the back. Feels like my mouth is gonna split open:rolleyes: The problem that I am having with my other tooth is that the filling is higher then the tooth b/c of normal wear and tear, and when it clicks against the other teeth its a bit sensitive.When I go back in Oct I have to have a filling and my teeth polished. I also asked him about the missing tooth on top. The 3rd one from the back is gone and at first it wasn't a problem b/c you couldn't see it, my teeth have shifted some and i can notice it. Alot of people say they can't but I think they are just being nice.:confused: Anyway, my options are a bridge $2800:eek: or a implant $3000:eek::eek: I think I am going to go with the implant. Not now of course, gotsta save up some money for dat one!:confused:


I should get my backside in gear, I will come back for personals when i get to work! Oh and still no Insanity yesterday:mad: beachbody said it should be here on the 4th ,canada post said it would be here on the 10th....lets hope they are right!

Lori:)
 
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! I TOTALLY expected the scale to do something wacky again this morning like go up 4 pounds overnight after having dropped 2.2# the other night but ya know what? My weight stayed the same! That LOW number was still smiling at me when I jumped on the scale this morning!!!! :D Stay tuned....I'm pretty sure SOMETHING wacky will happen before too long...:rolleyes:

Today is my rest day and I am happy to take it-thanks Insanity! ;) I will probably walk with my friend for about an hour tonight after dinner but that's it.

Jacque:: So will you be having pancakes for dinner tonight? :)

Jen:: For month one why not add 1 body part a day so that each work out is just about an hour from start to finish and you don't even have to worry about doing the am/pm thing or having one INSANELY long work out? Don't know if you went back to y'day's thread at all again but I mentioned there last night that I have decided to do GS 1 BP a day for a week and see how I like it. Why don't you join me? Yes, exhaustion is paramount with Insanity but it's in a GOOD way! :D

Laura:: Hope you are feeling better today!!!!!!!!! See? You started feeling awful y'day b/c "someone" wanted to STOP you from even CONSIDERING a real work out! Shame shame for even thinking about it! :p

Lori:: Sorry Insanity is still MIA but I am sure you will get it soon. Be happy you are busy with race training right now or this would REALLY be driving you...well...for lack of a better word....INSANE! ;):D:p Dental work is a b*tch, isn't it!? That's A LOT of money! Save save save! Guess that'll teach you to go shopping at the dollar store! :p LMAO!
 
Morning DCI'ers !

Well last night was a total bust for me as I ended up with sinus pressure right before I left work and had a headache. Started CPR anyway but by the time I was 5 min into the workout my head felt like it would split open. Laid down, rested with an ice pack, took some meds and finally by about 9 PM it was much better but late and I was tired.

Woke at 4:20 this AM so in a couple minutes will do my CPR.

Lori - good job resting, how are you feeling today? Did the rest help you stave off the cold? ITA about getting the implant for that small of a difference. Dang it sure is expensive, huh? Hope your Insanity shows today ! What is wrong with the people - don't they know how much we want these things to keep up with our peeps sometimes? :p

Wendy - thanks for the reminder on the pancakes as I am out and need to make some. Hardly seems like Thurs is here already but I am glad it is ! We'll see about dinner as I have tons of leftover I need to eat too. DH made some "to die for" pulled pork on Monday and there's still some left, YUM !

Off to workout, BBL chickies !
 
CPR done - so here's a question for you girls:

Since I missed my workout yesterday, would it be too much to do Cardio Recovery this afternoon after work so I'm not behind, or should I wait until tomorrow?

And then another one: How the heck do you breathe when your doing the V push ups after doing the cardio? I can't catch my breath in a downward dog position? :eek: :confused:

I did like the way the push ups weren't too many in a row and my shoulders cooperated loverly, just couldn't breathe ! :rolleyes:

K - will check in later for your votes on my workout tonight ! :p TIA !
 
Morning Ladies!!

Feeling OK today .. had chills last night and some this morning .. thinking might have a slight kidney infection now :( aahhh comes w/the territory I suppose! BUT I REFUSE to NOT w/o today .. so I am planning on teaching my PLYO class .. SIL is pitching a fit .. but she will get over it .. told her if I couldnt handle it I would bow out and let her take over .. :confused: .. but me thinks I will be fine!! Get me a good lunch in me and I will be ready to tackle plyos!!! ;)

Lori .. so you are MY kind of shopper . . I despise shopping .. and I am a "get in and get what I need and get out" kind of shopper too .. w/the exception of INTERNET SHOPPING :eek: I can do SOME KIND OF shopping on the net :rolleyes: .. and I think I am not alone on that one w/this group of gals!! ;)

Jacque .. ITA on the going from take your breath away plyo .. dropping to the floor and pushups and the dreaded IN AND OUT planks :eek: you CANT catch your breath ... even SIL who is the cardio energizer bunny cant catch her breath ... that is when the PUKE factor starts in on me .. dropping to the floor from Plyo work .. then working the core like that .. jumping up again and repeating .. YOWZA .. guess that is where the name INSANITY come in .. :p on your question .. I dont think it would be pushing too much to do the recovery this afternoon if the body is cooperating .. now I myself .. probalby would wait till tomorrow to get the full affect in ... ??

Wendy .. WOOHOOO on the scale not bursting that bubble ... good work!!! it HAS to be the INSANITY ... and you eat decent too .. that surely helps!!! WOOHOO .. doing another happy dance for Wendy ..

Hello to Jen and Di ...

OK .. gotta run .. BBL to check in w/you girlies!! have a great one!!
 
Hi Girls!

My day is zoomin gby quit nicely. I didn't get here until almost 10:) and now I am having a late lunch which will make the afternoon fly by as well. I usually eat around 12ish but now its 1:30. I had a protein bar @ 8:30 and not much since. Im surprised I wasn't hungry before now.

I am getting lots of work done today. I only have a couple of office duties and I can let it pile up for a bit so then I get a full day of work in. I just finished one pile and may move unto the next shortly....or I may leave it for another day. The beauty of my job:D

I had a awesome run earlier today. As soon as I went to go downstairs, DS woke up again:confused: So I woke DH up to watch him while I worked out. It was 7 anyway...time to get up! I did 6 miles in 52 mins. Hopefully tonight I will do disc 34.

As of lunch time there was no mail delivered to my house:( This is really,really starting to tick me off! Mostly b/c I paid for fast shipping and b/c the website isn't being updated. Nothing new since the 1st of the month...thats not cool!

Wendy** are you working today?? I never walk anymore:p I use to walk with my friend all the time in the evening but then she shacked up with some dude and I never see her anymore. I guess she hangs out with him and his friends now:confused: Im not sure what she is doing with him. She as no kids never been married and he as 3 kids, married and a crazy ex wife:rolleyes: Id be crazy to if my husband cheated on me!

Laura** Soooo sorry to hear about those awful,awful stones. No one knows unless they have been there...and I have been there! I had a pain in my back recently and I was alittle nervous about it but it didn't amount to anything. I only had one and that was about 10 yrs ago. I use to drink alot of soda back then and I read that soda can cause them. But then on the other hand its calcuim buildup so that doesn't make sense.
I hate shopping and I think I hate trying on clothes even more!

Jacque** If you have the time tonight to do the workout then I would do it! I am feeling alot better today. I have no comment on the v pushups cause I don't have my WORKOUTS YET! Sorry for yelling...I know its not your fault:eek::)

Diana** Good job with the weightloss. Those workouts will be flying off the shelves if they make you lose weight like that:eek:

Jen** Where are ya????

So I did read yesterdays thread but it was in the a.m and I didn't have enough time to repond.

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Good afternoon ladies!

This morning was Cardio Recovery and it felt like a cake walk compared to the others. I suppose it's just a little teaser before slamming us with Pure Cardio, which I have not done or looked at yet and have on tap for tomorrow.

I've decided I HATE the school year. It raises my stress levels tenfold, and with no CABS on the menu during Insanity I'm not a happy camper :mad: I feel grouchy today, and doubly so with that Recovery workout this morning, because right now I'm thinking I really could have used that endorphin rush today! Not sure my legs could have taken it though....they are tiiiiiiirrrreed.

Lori: I'm very proud of you for taking a rest day ;) I'll bet your body is, too! Sorry to hear about the dental issues :( I hate that work is sooooo expensive! A dentist has told me that my DS should have a palate expander put in for a very minor crossbite that isn't causing him any problems right now, and may never, but could possibly someday maybe :rolleyes:. Ugh...WTH? Why don't they just ask me to hand them a grand and send me on my way without putting my son through the hassle? I can't believe there's still no Insanity for you!!

Wendy: The one body part a day idea is probably better than trying to get one or two extra UB workouts each week. I think I will join you in that, starting next week. Yay for your scale success!! Sounds like you've had a nice little whoosh :) I've actually gained since starting Insanity and giving up CABS :mad: but I'm not in a panic yet. I'm pretty sure I've got a LOT of water retention going on right now and hope it'll leave over the weekend.

Jacque: I think you could do CPR without a problem. It was a lot of yoga style stuff with isometric holds in there, and some plank work. Still a good little workout but not that head exploding cardio. I agree that those V pushups are nuts. I can't breathe because of the sweat that's pouring into my nose and drowning me ;)

Laura: Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, but do take it easy so you don't make yourself worse. And moreover, water, water, and more water!! Not much of a shopper! Maybe I should give you a few lessons ;)

Hi Diana, hope your day is going well for you!

Back to work and dealing with idiots. Will bbl~

Jen
 
Well glad to hear cardio recovery isn't too bad - I'm feeling pretty good right now. Hope it holds out until after work ! I'd like to catch up with my missed day yesterday.

Laura - sorry last night was a bad one for you. Please make sure not to push yourself if you HAVE TO teach your class tonight. Maybe I'll give your SIL a call and we can have everyone at class just tie your legs and arms so you have to watch ! :eek: Seriously, don't push it girl ! Glad I'm not the only one who has a hard time with the push ups. :p

Lori - well happy happy the day is flying for you. I feel the same way when lunchtime hits. Back to work and the afternoons usually fly by. Go ahead and yell at me that Insanity hasn't made it to you if you want. After all, I'm HR and I CAN TAKE IT ! ;) I'm all for getting ticked when need be - especially since you paid for quick shipping. Have you called them on that for a refund yet? I would.

Jen - So good to hear you saying the next workout is a cake walk ! Not runnin' askeered now ! :p Actually the yoga holds sound like a great way to end the day today. I only previewed PCC so we'll both be surprised tomorrow ! :rolleyes: Perhaps a quickie run for you tonight to get the endorphins moving again? I really like doing the Insanity in the AM for the "rush" too ! Yeppers - had to go get a towel to wipe off cuz the hot sweat is not pleasant ! P.S. Joined you with a small bowl of ice cream last night since I skipped dinner ! :rolleyes: How was the cake?

Wendy - not sure where you have disappeared today - working? Had time to make my pancakes this AM so thinking I'll eat a regular dinner tonight. We'll see . . . Whatcha doin' today?

Diana - so you have/had Cardio Recovery today? Any additional workouts to go along with it?

Off to proverbially "stuff my face". This cardio isn't making me overly hungry and I love that fact !
 
Hi ladies,

I've been in meetings all day. I can't get my work done sitting in meetings all day.:mad: I

I was exhausted and slept-in to late to get a workout in today. That puts me back on track with Jen and Jacque for Pure Cardio tomorrow. I struggled with this one last week, maybe this week will be better. It's so hard because I never get to recover on this one...and I suck at those switch kicks.

bbl for personals.
 
Hi Girls.

I am making meatloaf sandwiches with french fries and salads for dinner tonight. The meatloaf just went in the oven so I have some time to catch up here before I have to get the rest of the meal ready. :)

Jen:: Okay cool. Glad you'll be joining me for 1 BP a day! I start tmrw and I'm looking forward to it! I personally can't fathom doing Insanity first thing in the AM the way I was doing SS. You and Jacque are my heroes! ;) You are going to hate...er I mean LOOOOOVE....pure cardio tmrw! :p IA that Cardio Recovery isn't that bad though I REEAAALLLLY felt the squats and lunges! Now if you want a TOUGH recovery work out, try MAX RECOVERY next time! My obliques are STILL sore from that and I did it on MONDAY!!!!

Diana:: Pure Cardio has the biggest dread factor for me. Something about the transition to the switch kicks...it just kills me! I can barely do them myself! :eek: Sorry about the all day meetings. That really bites!

Jacque:: I've been around doing this n that today. LOL Sometimes when I start the thread off with a bunch of personals I like to give everyone time to post before I come back. This way I can do multiple personals in one shot so if I don't get back again that day I'm not too far behind. :) Have fun with Pure Cardio tmrw!!!! :eek: LOL

Lori:: I was walking like mad when I was using the pedometer but I fell off THAT wagon quite some time ago and haven't walked much if any since. :p

Laura:: Feel better and please be careful teaching class tonight! Thanks re the weight loss. I'm keeping everything crossed that it sticks now! :D

So I am about to head into week 4 of Insanity already! I can't believe! Where did the time go!? I must really be enjoying it! :D My plan for the remaining weeks whilst I wait for you gals to finish out Month 1 will be to start the rotation from the beginning BUT instead of doing it as my MAIN rotation, I am going to cut myself a break and do a work out every other day, putting weight work on the in between days. Right now I am thinking that weight work will be CLX. I just have to pick which phase to do! :) Once you gals are ready for the recovery week then Insanity will become the mainstay once again until we are finished!

Okay, timer is going off! Time to start the frenchfries!!!!

BBL or tmrw!

Done with dinner. It just occurred to me that CLX is HEAVY on leg work and you can't escape it b/c of all of the compound moves. YIKES. Perhaps it's not the best choice to combine with Insanity. Hmmm...I'll have to rethink this. So many choices, so little time! :p Any suggestions? :D
 
Hi girls!

Jacque: The cake was delicious! Actually, I should say the frosting was delish, cuz that's the part I ate :p I'm a frosting fiend, and am happy to pass up the cake. That said, mom cut me a gigantic slice, so I ended up with quite the mound of frosting :rolleyes: I really need to commit to a tighter diet if I want to see any results from all this hard work. Did you manage to get CR in?

Diana: Sorry to hear about the all day meetings :confused: Been there done that, and I know it ain't fun. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day! It has to be, cuz it's Friday! Woohoo!

Wendy: I agree that those freakin' squats and lunges are killers. Sorry, no real educated suggestions from me. You know all the workouts better than I do. By way of brainstorming, though, I'll throw out Barry's Bootcamp. Can I come to your house for dinner tonight? Sounds soooo good :D

It's only 7:30ish and I could easily hit the sack already! I hope this fatigue passes soon. Off to check out what's on the tube. BBL or in the a.m.

Jen
 
Oh me...oh my! Just put DS to sleep! I lay down with him for over an hour and I thought I was going to lose it. I normally fall asleep when I lie down with him but he wouldn't stop squirming around and then the phone would ring, and then DD would come out of her room...then go back in...then come back out...I could keep going. I finally left him in his room by himself and he cried it out. I had no choice! I was getting madder by the minute! Now I am having wine..and I don't even like wine:eek: Thats how much I need it! LOL

Sooooo...you guessed it...no Insanity again today! I paid for xpress shipping and canada post says it was an expetited parcel. When you go through the list of options for shippment, expetited is at the top and xpresspost is at the bottom. Im thinking I got royally ripped off. I emailed Beachbody, we will see what they have to say for themselves. And if it were infact shipped xpress then I will get my money back from canada post.

Wendy** Yummmm...meatloaf:) I was thinking about making that this week and I didn't get around to it. I didn't really have dinner tonight. DH was golfing, DD and DS had mcdonalds and I didn't know what I wanted so I didn't get anything. I ended up munching on this and that....its been a while since Ive done that.

Jacque** We will see what happens but hopefully...HOPEFULLY...it will be here tomorrow! As you can tell Im not a very patient person:eek:

Jen** I guess all dentist aren't out to rip us off but ya never know. They can tell you you have a cavity and not even be in any pain. He told me I had one right in the back, so I trust him. I think he is busy enough that he doesn't need to rip people off. He is booked up for monthes, drives me a little crazy sometimes. But when I am in pain, he sees me right away!

Diana** How were your meetings? Long and boring? Have fun with your workout tomorrow.

I probably won't be here bright and early in the a.m. DS as a Dr's apt @ 8:30 so we will have to be outta here by 8...it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for computer time!

BB tomorrow!

Lori:)
