Sandy - I read a few days back that you are batteling with colitis. I just wanted to tell you that my sister in law has it and it has been a struggle for her to do anything. She can't eat many foods and she's so thin. I hope there is new medication out now that can control it. It sounds like you are doing well and I hope it stays that way. Miss seeing your workouts girl!
 
Okay I posted before and I have no idea where it went. Guess it's been zapped into cyberspace somewhere.

Monday…Monday….ARGH:eek::D

Good Morning,

Sunday dinner turned out very good. I ended up with more company then I had planned EEK:eek: I had to buy more chicken, I baked most of it and fried some two. I tell ya, my company did not leave until 10pm I was pooped, but as always very happy to see my family and friends Any who, No workout for me this morning I was too tired, so me slept:p in a bit longer.

Debbie: Nice workout

Linda: Awesome job
 
Oh I forgot that I did Amy's ITR on Saturday morning, and I don't know if it was the learning curve, but I didn't feel like I worked that hard. The workout was fun!

Debbie - I just went back and caught up, how are the forearms doing?
 
Morning Maniacs! Yesterday I finally got my short hill climb bike ride in after it stopped raining. It smelled so good and I was in heaven. I also shaved 1 min. off my hill climb time. That's 2 whole min. faster so far this summer:p. This morning I did RCR workout-A (love this one) and then followed it with 10 min. trainer yoga flex (this is becoming a fav). I'm for sure (did you hear that!) going to go on a bike ride later today. The nice 15 miler up on the canyon trail (I feel like Suz and her CC#8 with this ride, it's my go-to ride.:p)

Diane Sue- Did Mudd stay away from the skunk!!!:eek:

Debbie- excellent workout! Don't Mondays just suck for getting out of bed? I wanted to sleep in too.

Linda- Great workout too! Looks like the Monday morning blues got you too!

Teddy- I'm jealous you got to sleep in! Sounds like you had a fun party this weekend.

Oh! Anyone hear from Lora? I wonder how she's doing.

Gotta go get some work done. Dogs are barking!
 
Linda - Nice workouts! My forearms are ok today but Saturday they were burning all day long. I really hate that. I do think the reps and sets in this rotation is overkill for me. I have 1 more week to reach 8 weeks and then I'll decide if I should keep going with it or not.

Teddygirl - Your food sounds so good. I'm really hungry right now!

Dallys - Nice workout girl! You are really doing well with your training. Yes, it does suck to get out of bed on a Monday morning. Especially a cold Monday morning!

I just sent Lora some Avon so I'm hoping to hear from her. I told her we all missed her and wished her well. If I hear from her, I'll let you all know.
 
Yep! had a blasts, can't remember when I laughed so much and so hard. I ended up giving all that food away, I kept the collard greens! I can eat them every day:p


Sunday, when I was at BJ's I brought a box Green Bean Fries, by TGIF :p thought it would make for a nice snack. Have anyone tried em?
 
Debbie- Thanks! I'm super proud of myself for finally getting up in the mornings and getting my workouts in. Getting it over with in the mornings has made a HUGE difference in my consistency. The other thing, is that I changed my mind set on my bike rides. I think of them as just for fun and a hobby and I try not to count on them as part of my workouts (Although they really are, but it's a mind set thing.;))

Teddy-Green bean fries! How were they and how do you think they made them...baked....fried?
 
Teddy-Green bean fries! How were they and how do you think they made them...baked....fried?[/quote]

I haven't tried them yet:D I 'm going to bake a few tonight. They probably are fried.:eek:
 
This morning I ran 4.29 miles on the treadmill which took 50 minutes and burned 516 calories.Then I did BodyMax 2 abs using a 10# dumbbell and stretch. I am having having lunch. I still need to go to Target. I had to go for a doctor appointment and run some errands. I still need to go to Target and clean house. I would like to get in more of a workout but I am not so good at doing it later in the day. Things always seem to come up.

Dallys, good for you finding the morning workouts. As you can tell I am not good at workouts later in the day. I so my best if I get them out of the way first thing in the morning. No Mudd didn't bring me a skunk. That is when I would be calling for help. I don't think I would be handling that one well:) She is still after those squirrels though.

Debbie, I do hope Lora can get back here soon. Let us know if she tells you anything and doesn't mind, how she is doing. Gosh, I have spent a lot on Avon lately. My dil has went back to selling it.

Teddy, are the green bean fries actually pre fried?? I love veggies. I love fried okra and zuchinni. I have my weaknesses:D

Linda, I think you will get where you can feel more worked with ITR. I add a lot to it. Sometimes I wear the weighted gloves and use my 10# med ball. I also add a few more propulsions to it. You might try the interval premix. That one hits pretty well. Nice to add with another Amy interval premix like Hi/Lo Dome or Hi/Lo KO. I think it is also hard to get out of the mindset that we have to push over and above what is necessary to get a decent workout. I have fun doing it and think that is important as well:)
 
Diane Sue - I will definitely let you know about Lora if I hear back from her. I hope she's ok. Nice run you had this morning! You go girl!
 
Teddy, are the green bean fries actually pre fried?? I love veggies. I love fried okra and zuchinni. I have my weaknesses:D

They don't look fried but they're the long green beans with a coating of bread crumbs or batter, not sure what the coat is, hm..;;;;I'll let you guys know tomorrow. But, they're made by TGIF I sometimes buy there products like the chicken or cheese sticks but these are something newBTW, great run, girl :)

ROFL! I tried the fast scroll and it does look like we are gettin' the finger.

Diane Sue- Seriously though, it's a great picture. Yeah, I'm loving the morning workouts. It took me forever to have any desire to do them day after day, but, It's been about 3 months now and I think it's finally habit.:cool:

Debbie- I read on another forum that spinach is tastless in a smoothie. So, for the last couple days I've made a fruit smoothie filling the blender to the brim with spinach and I can hardly taste it at all. So, I stuff handfuls of spinach, flax seed, frozen banana, frozen blueberries, skim milk and a scoop of protein powder in a blender. I'm sure you could mix anything in it, but supposedly, the banana is key to taming the green taste. So, what you end up with is a more nutritious fruit smoothie that is slightly green. Might be an idea for a meal, since you are getting sick of things.

Pebblesus- Your workouts always sound so fun. Lots of different moves that you don't see often.

Teddy- Keep us posted on the low down of the green fries!;)

Suz- Straighening my hair takes maybe 10 minutes, tops! I hope getting yours straightened will work well for you. Can't wait to see it.

Gotta run to the store now....bike ride is getting pushed into the back burner...SEE what happens! These morning workouts are getting more and more priceless!

I went back and finished my workout finally. I did 4 Day Split Low intensity Step w/up, shoulders, calves, abs, and stretch. I burned 204 calories. I was going to do the shoulders from BodyMax 2 with this but I am still having some shoulder issues so decided this was enough. I picked up Mens Health Muscle Chow Cookbook at Barnes and Noble this afternoon. It looks like there are some useful recipes in it.

PebbleSus, LOL on my picture. I had to go back and look at it larger to make sure I wasn't pointing a finger:D

Dallys, I actually was able to push myself to finish that workout today. That doesn't happen to often. I think it is making it a habit. I don't feel right if I don''t do anything at all. Years ago I would workout late at night when Bill was working nights. It was such a habit that it was nothing for me to be working out at midnight. Then I turned it around and started getting up at 4 am before the daycare children came and worked out like that for quite a long time.
 
Here I am...my first post as an official Hottie :D

Saturday, I did CC#6 using TM, stepmill, and bike. Wore the HRM but don't remember how many calories I burned. It was in the 400's.

Sunday, I did abs on the BOSU from that CIA DVD.

Today, I did GS Chest and Triceps and tacked on a S&H bonus for chest and tri's too, doing 1 set of each exercise on S&H. Then I did S&H legs and a portion of Ab Hits but quickly found that the BOSU abs got me more than I realized! Afterwards, I did a quick round of TM, stepmill, bike and back to TM - about 30 minutes. I don't usually do this much but had sort of reached a plateau with my gains and wanted to take it up a notch for a few weeks. DirtDiva is adding S&H to GS so thought I would give that a try. It was a nice extra burn.

Thanks for letting me join your group!
