Getting Our Licks In!

Hi, Renee

I know I said I have to buy expensive hair dye called Sanotint because I am allergic to drugstore brands. Sanotint is 18 dollars a bottle. My hair never sees a salon for a cut, as I do my bangs myself, and I have a neighbor trim the back.

Did you see where I need prayers for my daughter? I know it is her own fault, and she is an adult, but I am very upset about what is happening. I will not go into much detail here, just that she is an RN and did something illegal, and she is in a lot of trouble.

After the New Year, I want to get the two pound weighted gloves and the set of bands. I also want to purchase Super Body Tri Sets, but that will have to wait. My personal training business slows down to nothing at this time of year.
 
What is super bodt tri sets?
Yes i saw about your daughter. I know it sounds strange but i wanted to wait til i had enough time to post about ur daughter. When i say i will pray for her i do it while and after i have typed in the post. I feel it is very important to actualy pray for that person when u say u r. So yes i well pray for her. And thats all as parents to adult kids we can do i supose. I will pray for your strength to be strong and know when to help and know when not to help. You are right she is adult and makes her own choices.but at same time her choices can brake a mothers heart.
I know how u feel i have a son who continues to make bad choices. I have a niece who has been in trouble now she has hiv and it ultimatly has hurt my sister to no end. Yes it hurts her daughter but her daughter acts like its no big deal. Only God can help us now. So im praying for ur sweet girl. That will put a hedge of protection around r babies. But also im praying that if she has to go through hard times that it teaches her that she learns from her mistakes. ( I call them babies cause they will always be r babies) lol.

Shopping from the list I got from my daughter to bring to Christmas dinner. Done! Yea!

Caitlin, Prayers are being said for your daughter and you. I cut my own hair too. Sounds like a good investment getting things for exercising. Enjoy.

ReneeP, Take care. Praying for you and your family too.

Janie
 
Thank you, all

I am calming down a bit about what happened to her, and I know she should have known better. I wish Cathe had more hi lo, and I just ordered an Amy Bento hi lo on Ebay. I get tired of althernating step and kickboxing, and it is just one more thing. I would attempt to run outside, but the weather is awful. I am going to do some hi lo today, and I have old Christi Taylor workouts. Yesterday I added yoga to my routine, and it is so hard; I have Rainbow Mars workouts. I looked at Cathe's yoga, but my back is too bad to try to invert myself, and I could really hurt myself if I tried. My doctor told me never to do chest and shoulders, and the doctor who did my implants lost his license. I asked just to be lifted and tightened after nursing my two babies, and I ended up with double D's.

I think I will do high reps lower body after the hi lo.
 
Today i did power max from cathe older dvds. I really, enjoyed it but my knee was twitchy on it so at the last segment i lowered my step i still burned 489 calories. Will i ever burn 500? Lol cant seem toreach that number.
Cailin i saw on collage video cristy taylor has a new aerobic dance video coming out. Well it looks fun to me im not sure what your idea of hi/lo is. But i think it looks very fun. I may get it myself. It is in the coming soon section.
Oh yesterday i did cathe imax2 premix of warm up step sections 1- 4 then skiped warm up of kelly coffes muscle def #2 workout. Then cool down.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

It looks like it has been a while since I posted.:eek: It has been a busy time. Finished off the Gym Style workouts on Saturday with GS Legs. Sunday was a break day and today I did Cardio Core Circuits. My cousin-in-law bought her first Cathe workout yesterday: Cardio Core Circuits. So, as a sign of support and solidarity, I told her that I would do Cardio Core today as well. Plus after eating the fantastic meal that she made last night, I needed to burn some calories. I tidied up the house this morning in preparation for Christmas. Ripken has just been beside himself today with anticipation. It's like he knows tomorrow is Christmas--just like a kid. At some point he is going to just fall over from exhaustion and take a nap, probably when I go to church tonight.

Caitlin: I am sorry to hear that your daughter is dealing with some challenges in her life. I will remember her at Mass this evening.

Janie: you have created another beautiful picture.

ReneeP: You have not mentioned the headaches in a while--have they subsided? I know that you have some aches and pains but it sounds like you are being diligent in doing workouts and listening to your body.

Life brings us challenges and delights. This group continues to be a source of inspiration and support and I wish you all a Merry and peaceful Christmas eve.

Merry Christmas all... I made the Christmas meal... While my turkey was cooking i did step max. That was good too. I guess i am just more comfortable with older workouts.
Michelle can u do ALL reps on the gym style legs? Wow i am in awh if u do! I did gym style legs once lol i want to try again but afraid to. Lol
Hope u and family had a great Christmas, and ripkin? I usualy buy my, dogs a gift but i couldnt seem to,find a toy small enough for her mouth the other day so i ended up just getting both dogs chew roll ups
Me DH and both my boys had dinner together. That was about it they played a game i bought DH. DH bought me Wen a week ago for Christmas, he gave me a gift certificate,to get my pink boxing gloves at academy of sports and he got me bobbie brown makeup! He had me pick it out lol. Oh well at least it helps him get it right.
I had a good Christmas but i sure do miss cooking Christmas with my mom ..i truly dont think thows feelings ever go away. I miss going to her home and the whole family and neices and nephews and sis go to moms and celebrate the holidays like that. My sisters fought lol but miss it still ...yes they are all older then me but they still would fight.. Crazy i tell ya lol.
Well i hope u all had a great day ..i am enjoying my family today for sure!
 
I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We had a really nice day at the Reed household (that would be my house). Joe's son and his wife came over in the morning. We had breakfast and watched the Christmas Story. Robbie (Joe's son) and I just love watching that movie. We laugh and giggle through the whole thing. We exchanged gifts and visited and Ripken did his best to be a Merry Christmas pup. Rob and Sarah left early afternoon to head over to his mom's in NW Va and Joe got started on putting the prime rib together and in the oven. While the prime rib was cooking, we did round two of Christmas presents. Ripken loves to open presents and he hung in there, but the poor pup was so tired. I have to say, by the time we sat down to dinner about 6 pm, I was exhausted. Too tired to even look at my new IPad that DH got me. Today I was supposed to go over to my parents to visit, but the weather started out with snow, ice, and then rain. It is now just rain, but it has been icky all day, so I will drive over to SW Va tomorrow. No exercise yesterday, did Powerhour but no legwork today. I am hoping it will stop raining soon and I might go do some returns. We'll see. Not heavily motivated to go anywhere or do much today. Ripken has been napping all day--recovering from two days without many naps.

ReneeP: yes, I can get through all the reps on GS legs, but it is a challenge, particularly those last few exercises. It sounds like you had a nice Christmas. How you managed to fit in any exercise is amazing to me.

Gosh--it is just pouring here. I hope this is the last of it for the day. Unbelievable.

Well today i did low impact step the step n weights premix. It was kinda easy but i did have a little sweat. So it was perfect for todayy after work.
A friend from out of statee is driving down here to get away for a few days. Her long time boyfriend over 12 yrs just told her two mo.ths ago he is in love with some one else! I havnt spent alot of time with her since we moved 13 yrs ago. So i am not sure what to do with her lol. I told u all i dont have alot of friends and she is one i consider one of a few i have had .. A good friend but it has been yrs. And i am not used to company so im excited to see her. But i dont want to bore her to death but i also want to give her space to ... Any ideas girls?
 
Did yoga today. Didn't get a lot of sleep at our daughters house last night. It was such fun though, and beautiful memories. I'm so tired. Will talk tomorrow, going to bed.:) Read everyone's posts Will catch up with everyone soon.

Today is my rest day bc of headache again.. Sick of it. Im gonna demand the docs find what is wrong with my head.
Janie i hope u get xtrain soon.. U sound to me like u could use an uplifter... I can tell u r in a funk? Or am i reading u wrong?
 
Renee,

Yes, I am in a funk. Been for awhile, so XTrain will be so nice to have and get moving again. Not sure if my arm is well enough yet. Will find out soon.

Janie
 
Good job Janie...
I havnt done a wo today had alot of running around.
I am so excited over xtrain.
I am not asking anymore questions about them though. I think im sick of rude people coming on after i post and make smart aleck comments. Or it seems alot of times if i post the thread stops. I was excited to b on the forums but now i feel im getting the feeling u cant realy ask questions. It was about the clips. I even apoligized if i sounded pushy. Then someone said to let it go already blah blah blah. I am not rude and do not appriciciate rudeness to me. I didnt see any reason y that was a terrible question.
I thought this was a good place to go with excitement and i can recall others being excited and asking questions. Idk ill stop now ...
My vent is over now. Lol
 
Renee,

I know. There are lots of people out there that love to start a fight. That's why I like being in a group of people. It's much more satisfying and people seem to really care about me. If you comment in public, expect anything. I'm learning to just ignore and keep moving along. In life too, there are always people like that. Try not to let it discourage you from people who care and know you.

UPDATE: I read the clip thing and all I can see is a very excited (me to!) person to receive XTrain and view clips. I also was looking for clips to see, but saw only a few. I even went to College to see more than what Cathe has up. You are not alone.

Let go and move on. Easier said than done for sure. I know.;)
