Getting Our Licks In!

Today is mega step blast... And cleaning also.
I did mega step blast it was still fun kept my hr in fat burning zone for most the workout and tbe last section the butt blaster,spicked it up on the higher end. It is a knee friendly wo ...it is jumping but not to much torque.
Patiently waiting on clips! Gawd they said this week I been watching since mon !!!!
 
Did a little bit of spinning, about 30 min. and a little stretching tonight.

Reneep, Great job on MSB and so glad it was a knee friendly workout.

Take care,

Janie
 
Nice job on the spinning! Did u guys see the video clips? Wooo hoo!

Awh but at same time I am saddened for the school shooting. Makes no since.
 
In my artwork I'm doing "Adrian" over again. His eyes are just like I want them to be, and now I can zentangle around him and get this done. Have another one in mind. It's my niece's baby Zander. After that one is the one I've been really wanting to do for the longest time. It's my mother. Still working it out in my head, but soon will put it on paper. Most likely the beginning of next year. What a great way to start art work. This one will be the most unique of all.

ReneeP, Yep, seen the clips. Can't wait to get them in my hot hands! Great job on HSC. I really like that one.

Take care,

Janie

Janie that was also a nice picture of Adrian.. I hope i got that right. You are a perfectionist? Lol
Okay i did a walk for one mile, then jogged 2 1/2. Tomorrow is a planed rest day then i may do MM. %or cyclemax. So Michelle im gonna try to start Cathe rotation tuesday. So not sure til i look at the list what one it is i need to do.
Ok im also still on MFP and no weight loss yet. I have been at 1100 cal most days except today i did 1330 so anyhow im keeping, keeping on.
 
Hi everyone. I apologize for being MIA; my modem went out at home and I have no internet until the new one arrives from Verizon. Hopefully, I will have the box waiting for me when I get home this evening. I took two rest days, one on Friday and another on Saturday. Boy--that sure did help. Feeling more energized, I did To the Max yesterday and Gym Style Chest and Triceps today. This is the first heavy lifting in about a month, so I was having to really work it, but it felt good.

I don't know about you guys but the Newtown, CT tragedy has really hit me hard. I totally agree with Renee: it makes no sense at all. You know on 12-21, the world, as we know it, is supposed to come to an end. I think that happened last Friday on 12-14. You think of the places where you feel safe: home, church, school--the bedrock symbols of our communities. I drove past the elementary school in my neigborhood this morning and the deputy sheriff was patrolling the area. It is so sad. Schools are supposed to be symbols of love, learning, and laughter--especially elementary schools. Will we ever get that back?

Worrisome time for me. Our electricity went out today and nothing to do but talk to each other. Joey was telling me about his 5 new cancer areas are doing. He said 3 out of the 5 areas look like Basil. The other two are different. I'm so scared. One of them is close to his heal, the other is on his calf and other leg. If these two cancers are not basil, then from what I understand he will have to go through Kemo no matter what. The first thing they will check is his limp nodes to see if any cancer cells have accumulated there. I know we don't know yet which cancer they are and I might be carrying around here needlessly and I so hope I am. But how can you not think about those things? I'd hate to see My Joey go through kemo, have his body parts taken away...so scared and such a cry baby. Not at all strong for Joey, I can't even do that right. Venting you guys, I know you can't say too much I just need to vent. He goes in Jan. 3 to cut out the other 3 cancers but the other two will be tested deeper into the tissue. Yep a long time to worry. We'll know then what we are dealing with. The doctor and Joey usually laugh and play but the doctor was very silent this time around. Not a good sign. Maybe the doctor had a bad day, I don't know.:(

ReneeP, Great job on one mile walk then 2.5 on the jog. Enjoy your rest day tomorrow. Good for keeping, keeping on.

Michelle, Great job on your rest days and doing TTM yesterday and GS chest and tris today. Very proud of you/ The tragedy in CT hit hard here as well. Good point, I think too the world changed forever when the massacre happened.

Take care,

Janie
 
Wow Janie...
Heavens yes i could understand not wanting to see parts of him be but on! Yes cry as.much as u need and vent! That way when he does need u to be strong u can. I really think we have,to let the emotions come. Mayb in front of Joey act strong but we cant b strong all the time.
My prayers r with u and him.

Today im at work on lunch break i think ill take a nap lol. Yesterday was rest day. Not sure what ill do today i think cycle max but.... Had to move my tv in living room i cant take bike threw there without tearing up hard wood flooor so i may do mm hum... Or a jog after work. I hope i can afford a new tv in family room to do my workouts on. Are big screen went bad.
 
I was so emotional yesterday. Went on line and found many different ways to treat what Joey has. Let's hope for the best. Thank you for all of your support.
Finished Adrian's second artwork.

ReneeP, Thank you for your prayers. Joey really does appreciate them. Maybe you guys can get a new big screen TV for Christmas?

Take care everyone,

Janie

Hi all

Renee told me of this check in, and I thank her for it. Yesterday, I had a good day personal training, and I did over an hour of Christi Frierich hi lo aerobics, and the upper body portion of High Reps. High Reps is really a killer, and I don't have the yellow band now, but I will order it after the holidays. Thank you for having this forum. Today I think I am doing step, and Lower Body Blast.
 
Hi caitlin yesterday i did cardio and weights.....i made sure the weights was somewhat a challange so my bi are alittle sore today! Whoo hoo.
Well vaitlin it isnt a yellow band it is a green one. And i have only done high reps a couple times, im not sure why. Humm i need to revisit. Work today is crazy...
 
Renee

Do I have to order the entire set to get the bands? I just did an hour of step, and I am doing it on eight inches. Later I will do Lower Body Blast. Do you have High Reps? It is so difficult.

Janie, I am very sorry for your trial.
 
Hi everyone. I have internet back at the house wrt my desktop computer, but the modem/router that Verizon sent does not have WiFi. So, they are sending another. Until then, at least I can get to the internet on my desktop--just not from my laptop, smartphone, and kindle. Tuesday I did Slide and Glide cardio only premix; Wednesday was a break day, and today I did GS Back, Shoulders, and Biceps. My arms are pretty much fried after today's workout. My sweet pup had me worried for a few days, but the other night he bounded across the bedroom like a 2 year old, so go figure. It has been a busy but good workweek. Traffic has been horrible--so many bad accidents. I think people are so tired that they are just not as alert this week before Christmas. Discovered last night that Best Buy stores accept most old electronics (tvs, stereos, computers, computer equipment, phones, etc) and has a recycling program. DH took my dead modem up to the Best Buy store today and dropped it off at the customer service desk. Pretty easy.

Caitlin: welcome to our check-in group. Janie brought this group together a few years ago. We all love dogs and our checkin name was inspired by my golden retriever, Ripken, who likes to lick me after I workout. Tell us a little about yourself and where you are. I live in Northern VA, Janie is in Washington State, and Laura is in Colorado. And, I believe that Renee is in one the the Carolinas.

Janie: so sorry to hear about Joey. I will keep both of you in my prayers and hope that the physician was just having a quiet day on Joey's last visit. You know that you can vent here anytime. (((((HUGS))))) to you and Joey.

Michelle im glad you made it back on. I am angry with best buy and gateway. Lol i was sold a lemon and they arnt helping me out at all. Had to take my computer in yhree times since july the keep saying they change the mother board!
Well any how sounds like u r doing great on,the workouts. Im glad Ripkin is okay! I worry for that baby lol.
Caitlin yes u do have to buy the pkgs. I dont know why they dont sale just one. Or a pkg of three of same thing in case it brakes.

Janie i hope u r doing ok! My heart has been really thinking of u.

Laura i know ur busy but hope u r still going strong.. How are the yoga clases going?

Didn't do much in the way of workouts. I did do some yoga though. Better than nothing I guess.

Caitlin, So good to have you with us. You will find we have wonderful and knowlegeable ladies here. Where are you from, family, interrests? Of course you don't have to fill us in right away, but just asked to get the ball rolling.:) Great job on aerobics and upper body portion of HR. Yep HR is very challenging. HeHe. Welcome aboard. Thank you for your concern about my trials with my Joey. I'm going to think positive thoughts.;)

ReneeP, Great job on yesterday's C&W, I sure do love that one.


Michelle, Great job on Tuesday's S&G cardio only prem. Wedn's rest day and today's GS back, shoulders, and biceps. Good job on those DOM's. Please give Ripken a hug for me. Nice to hear that Good Buy has a recycling place for old electronics. Thanks for the hugs.;)

Take care,

Janie
 
Thank you

Thank you, Janie, and I am religious, and I will pray for him if it is okay with you. I did an hour of step yesterday on an eight inch step, and I did the fifty minute premix of Lower Body Blast. I also wish Cathe would have more hi lo workouts. Today I am supposed to do kickboxing, and I have a heard time keeping my heart rate up with that. I need to get the two pound weighted gloves, and I know they have them on amazon, and I will also do that after the holidays.

I am a personal trainer who used to be a NYC high school English teacher, until the schools became too dangerous and had too many security guards and metal detectors.
 
I need prayers for my daughter

You can see her photo on my page, and I am no longer with Michael, as I did not trust him. My daugher is a registered nurse, and she got herself into a very bad position doing things she was not supposed to do. Of course, she is an adult who should bear responsiblity for her own actions, instead of blaming Mom and Dad's divorce. Thank you for reading.
 
Geez i went to firestone and ordered tires for my car two times already and each time they dont have record or ordering them! I been waiting for 8 months! I have one tire that looks terrible!
