Getting it done for February 2015

Good Evening!

Run done - 800's again - really nailed them tonight, but now wiped out! Lol!

Tomorrow is my annual physical with blood work - fasting - so nothing else to eat until after - that will be hard in the morning, but at least the appointment is early.

Belinda - Glad the appointments went well. You are such the enabler - it is a great deal, but I'm not buying . . . right now. But these barre wo's are really working well for you, aren't they . . . hmm . . .

Heidi - Glad you were able to get in a leg wo. I had tried to wo in the mornings, but I was having to get up so early to be done in time to get to work, that I just didn't have the energy to work out with the intensity that I could do later in the day. Also, once I start working out harder, I need more sleep, and I wasn't going to bed ay earlier. So for now it's evenings.

Sara - Hope you are feeling better!

Time to shower and relax until bed. Hope you had a good one!
 
Good morning,

After my coffee I will do XT Legs and SBF.

Sherry - hope your doc appointment goes well today. :) On the Barre 3 site it's over $200 plus you get a 1 year free unlimited streaming. Not bad! And yes, Barre workouts are working well and sliming my body down. Have fun with your workouts today. Good job on that run.

Waving Hi to Sara and Heidi .

I will be back later this evening or tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone.
 
Hi all!

It must be a leg day. D6 done earlier this evening. Now waiting for DD to get home before I go to bed.

Good news - my weight is down about 10#'s so far this year, and that's also 10#'s down from last year's physical. Making progress! :D

Hope you had a good one!
 
Morning!

Another bust for my workout plans yesterday. Just another very busy work day and getting my taxes to the accountant. Then off to Staples for
my just about FREE office supplies had a rewards credit of $74! and Kohls for practically free running leggings with rewards of $20 and kohls cash! :)

Plan for today:
RWH Plyo HiiT 2 and abs one
Run 3 miles

Clear more snow off these roofs! Getting blasted again later today into tomorrow. :/

Sherry: Nice job on D6 legs! Wow! Wow! Excellent news on your wt loss! Great job! :)

When my kids lived at home I couldn't go to bed until all were home safely. Hopefully your DD wasn't out too late.

Belinda: Great job on your XT leg workout as well. You both will be walking funny today. HEHE :)

Hello Sara! How are you feeling?

Well I better finish up my coffee and head to the gym. :)

Have a great Saturday!
Heidi
 
Thanks for all of the suggestions for the nettie pot. I actually use a dixie cup and add a little salt to warm water and just sniff. It's an old fashioned trick my grandma taught us as kids, but have forgotten about it until you all suggested it. It works wonders just like a nettie pot. I actually had to start taking allergy medication again because they were just too out of hand. I try to lay off if I can and hadn't taken any for a few months, but this year it is just sooo bad around here.

Heidi, Your back and shoulders must be getting really tired, that is tough tough work. Just when you can start to get out of the house a little, another wave is coming - Yuck! That Leg WO is fun and goes fast. And abs #1 is my favorite ab workout of all time. :) I just did the core section on To The Max on Thursday and that one is great too.

Today I'm doing RWH Low Impact 1 & 2 premix. My DS is having his girlfriend over for fondue later and I'll need all my strength not to eat any:) just chicken, cauliflower and kale for me. I will have some wine though :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
 
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone,

XT All Out Low Impact is done.

Sherry - WTG and congrats on the weight loss. That's fantastic. You doing something right :) Keep it up!
Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone.

Heidi - how are your legs today? I have some DOMS in my butt :) RWH Plyo HiiT 2 , abs and
Run 3 miler.

Sara - hope you had fun with your dinner and RWH Low Impact 1 & 2 premix.


I will be back tomorrow. Have a great day and workout, everyone.
 
OK back to report part one of my plan is done. RWH plyo #2 and the abs #1.
Will do my run after my tummy settles. Just had a late lunch.

Sara: These ab workouts are short but get the job done. :) Have an awesome workout and enjoy your evening with your son and GF. :)
Glad that the steam is helping a bit for your sinus issue as well.
It has been snowing for about an hour and half now. YUCK! It started earlier then predicted too. Yes I sure am getting in an upper body workout with all this. No need to do anything else I don't think. LOL!

Belinda: Nice job on your XT Low Impact workout! How's the snow situation there?
LOL! Yup with ya on some butt and leg DOMS. Not as bad as last week with RWH legs however. PHEW! That was pretty bad for sure.

Sherry: How are you doing today? What are your plans? Are you getting any part of this storm system heading my way?

Have a great evening! Wish us luck that we do not lose our power tonight!

Heidi
 
Good morning,

Hope you all had a great day yesterday. DH took me out for a nice dinner. We had a blast. We got hit with a blizzard last night. It's so cold and windy outside.

Today I will do a nice stretch and that's it.

Here is a FREE download walking workout: the music is kinda boring, you always can play your own.

Heidi - good job on your workout yesterday.

Waving Hi to the rest of the gang. BBL!
 
Happy Sunday!

Yesterday was a rest day - had an appt first thing in the morning, then shopping and errands so that I wouldn't have to go anywhere today - the polar cold front has hit and it is bitterly cold, not even getting above 0* F today. Last night DH and I stayed home - got some steaks that we broiled (we are getting good at that), had some cake from the culinary school on DH's campus, some excellent wine (I'm getting hooked on ice wines), and a movie, plus parts of Titanic several times (AMC(?) was having a Tiitanic marathon). A very nice evening for us.

Today was a 3 mile interval run and stretch. Still need to get in D5. WO's are in between laundry loads. Roasting a turkey so that the oven can be on for hours. No plans to leave the house.

Heidi - When you double up, you really hit it hard - RWH plyo plus a run! High five! No need to add any UB wo's - I do think you are getting plenty of those.

Sara - Glad you are feeling better. Hope you enjoyed the evening with DS's GF over. A little indulgence is ok.

Belinda - Great job on XT Legs yesterday. Hope you made it home before the blizzard started. Enjoy your rest today. I'll check out the walking video - I usually put on HGTV when I'm on the tm, which is always dangerous because I get so many ideas.

Stay warm and safe! Enjoy your day!
 
I have the week of for mid-winter break so I'm starting my day a little later. Nice. :)
Today I'm starting the second week of the RWH/XTrain rotation. I like it.

Sherry and Belinda, I hope you made it through the blast without too much digging.

Sherry - I've never had ice wine, where can I find it? Do you prefer red or white (it that's even an appropriate question for ice wine)? Glad you got to have a nice evening with DH. Way to go on your weight loss. I find losing weight past 40 has been nearly impossible.

Hope your day is happy.
 
Hello to all!

Belinda: I am with you on the storm. We had another 2' of snow dumped on us. OI!

Sherry: I am getting frustrated by all this snow! LOL! It is messing with my workout plans.

Sara: Enjoy your break!

We had a partial roof collapse at the building my office is at. :/ No work yesterday but I did work from home just the same.
I am getting ready to go in to see what I can do today. I hope the remaining building holds up! This has been the worst snowy winter
here in years!
Woke this morning with darkening skies with another pending snowstorm. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Have a great Tuesday everyone! I will have to catch up on posts later. Nice job everyone on your workouts!

Heidi
 
Good morning,

Yesterday ended up being a rest day :) Today I will do Super Cuts and SBF. I am in the last week of the XTrain rotation.

Heidi - we are covered in snow too. I am also tired of snow. I need some sunshine. Keeping my fingers crossed that you don't get hammered with more snow.

Sara - glad you enjoy RWH/XTrain rotation and break :)

Sherry - sounds like a lovely evening. I am not big on ice wine, used too a long time ago. Now I enjoy a dry red wine once in awhile :) It's bitterly cold here too.

I will be back later this evening. Have a great day and workout.
 
Hello all,
Stopping my RWH/XTrain rotation and am going to a more metabolic rotation for a few weeks. I've been noticing that my legs and shoulders have just gotten a little bigger than fit in my clothes well. So today I did X77 - wow that workout wiped me out. I think I need to eat a little to have enough energy to get through that long of a workout. But it is a fun one, and is brilliantly executed. Cathe's so smart.

Way to go an a tough double Belinda. 2 hours is a lot of time to workout that hard in one day.

Heidi, hope your building can get back up and running soon. That's a big disturbance.

Have a good eve.
 
Good Evening!

Yesterday ended up being a rest day. It was also a work-from-home-to-deal-with-a-tub-that-won't-drain kind of day. That was due to either 1) frozen pipes, 2) hair clog or 3) probably a bit of both. :( Bad house design - bathrooms are over an uninsulated/heated garage in a northern climate, but we've never had the problem before. We know some neighbors have. Any way, after several hours of Liquid Plumber, a drain snake, bailing the 6"-8" in there (why do teenagers wait until it's that full to figure it out?), and several kettles of hot water (maybe I should count all that running up and down the stairs for my workout ;) ), it finally drained completely while unattended. Yay, that's over.

Today, beautiful sunny skies and temps made it to the balmy 20's! Also, workout done - great 3 mile of intervals. :D Then, ShovelMin, since it was only about 2" of light fluffy stuff. At least the dog still loves playing in it. Not enjoying if for long, because temps will be taking a serious nose dive again.

Sara - You are a brave woman. I have yet to do X77. Nothing wrong with switching up a rotation, as long as you are doing something, right? Ice wine is usually made with Riesling grapes. It's called "ice" because the grapes are left on the vine until they freeze, which gives it lots of flavor and is rather strong (think 3 oz., not 6). We have regional wineries that produce it, and we can get in anywhere wine is sold (usually the grocery store for me). I would think you could get it because Canadian wineries are big producers (not forgetting the Germans, Belinda). Look in the dessert wine section for very thin bottles.

Heidi - Oh no, about your office building. I've been seeing that on the news. We thankfully have no where near the amount you do. I feel for you.

Belinda - Yay for the last week of Xtrain! Wow, SC and Tabatacise? High Five! Red, white, dessert - depends on my mood. With all the miserable weather, I've been wanting comfort food, and for me that can be rich, sugary desserts (hence wanting sweeter wines. When I get together once a month with the gals for scrapbooking, we always try to find new foods or drinks to try. Last week I tried a very basic (only 4 ingredients) avocado chocolate pudding - we decided that it could have potential, so now to experiment with recipes that have more ingredients.

That's it for today. Time to wind down. Hope you have a good one, and catch ya tomorrow.
 
Good morning,

Burn Sets: CBS = 51 min and SBF Adv. Lower Barre 20 min + Booty = 15 min is done.

OH NO, Sherry! Been there done that with the bathroom, lol! Glad it's working again. Our bedroom is over the garage, it's always colder than the rest of the house. My kinda scrapbooking:p:D at least you having fun, right? Nothing wrong trying new things.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.

I will be back tomorrow. Have a wonderful day and workout everyone.
 
Good morning,

XT Cardio Leg Bast and SBF UB is done. I have 2 more workouts and I am done with the 3 month XT rotation. Tomorrow I will do XT Bic & Tricpes and Saturday is Hard Stike ( I will do another workout instead HS)+ core.

Have a great day and workout everyone.
