Morning Ladies -

Ugh...it's Monday again! I didn't want to get out of bed. I slept until a bit past 2:30 am. I figured I needed it since I've got this GI flu or whatever it is. I did P90 Masters Core Cardio which is some cardio some ab work, some leg work and some pushups. It was 50 minutes and then I did Unlocking Athletic Power, Power Yoga by Baron Baptiste (30 min).
I even did a few down dogs yesterday and today to see how my shoulders handle it. I know chataranga's bother my upper back deep in the intrascapular area, but I'm hoping with time - it may go away. (According to my doctor - it won't, but we'll see).

Dallas - so sorry to hear about your brother. I will keep him in my prayers.

Hi to everyone else. I really wish work wasn't so hectic these days so I could check in more often and read up on things!

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Morning ladies!

Lora-I hope you shoulders can handle the few down dogs that you did. Try and have a good day at work today. Don't let that pain in the butt boss ruffle your feathers today.

Well it is Monday and my clients offer should be presented to the relocation company. I hope all goes well. I will let you ladies know what happens when I hear something. I hope I hear something soon. I hate waiting!

We had some nasty storms last night. High winds, hail, and tons of rain. I have to venture outside to see if anything blew away. lol I guess the temp is suppose to drop as the day goes by. Yuck! I want the warmer weather.

I hope everyone had a wondeful weekend. I will be back later!
 
Hello Everyone,
This morning I plan on doing BBBB, L&G (standing) and C&W abs, and than later today I will ride my airdyne 20-30 min.

Sabrina we had some nasty storms last night to, and it still looking nasty....Right now there is a Tonado watch. Hope everything goes well with you offer.....If you have'nt noticed. We are all routing for you:7

Well gotta go get the kids off to school... will be back later!!

Nicole-Looks like you have a good workout planned! I have noticed you are all cheering for me and I appreciate it soooo much! I am so proud to have wonderful friends like you ladies!! It means a lot to me that you ladies are here for me. Remember that I am here for you too when you need me. :)

I better get the kids moving or they will be late for school.

(I can't spell today) haha
 
Good Morning Maniac Women!!!

Yesterday I worked out chest and biceps. Today I will workout to PUB, doing only shoulders and triceps. Also, 3 sets of BBM using weights. Maybe a bike ride into town after DD and her friend come home from school. DS does not want to come this time. Also, will workout to coremax 1. Got some yardwork and laundry to do as well. Gonna be a really warm day here...LOVE IT!!!!!

Lora,

Hope your feeling better soon. Did you see my sno core tour pictures I posted?

Nicole,

What is a airdyne? Sorry, have no idea! LOL!

Sabrina,

We are suppose to get storms come thru here later today. I love thunderstorms, but tornadoes...NO!

Charlotte~~
 
Good Morning All!

We had some nasty storms too. However, I slept through it this time! My poor dh didn't.:-(

Yesterday, I went to a crop-for-a-cure for MS. I did seven pages in my kid's scrapbook. I'm still three years behind.:-( Oh well, we had fun. I did More than Mat just the cardio flow later after the kids went to bed. I'm still not so sure about that one.

This morning I did Janis Saffel Brand New Butt Pilates. Now that I felt. I did BC abs.

Nicole ~ I'm going to try BBBB floor and L&G floor. We'll be using the same DVDs.:) I would also like to do the treadmill, but that may have to wait until this afternoon. I'll see.

Lora ~ thanks! I saw your post yesterday about pilates. I only have the two I mentioned above and MTV Pilates Mix. I like the Janis one and the MTV is growing on me. You know who to ask is Robin (rjoubi - I think that's her username). I will definitely check out that web site you provided!

Sabrina ~ Yes, we are rooting for you!! :7

Charlotte ~ It was beautiful at the bus stop, but I heard the temp is supposed to drop here. :-(

Marietta ~ How did the party go? I bet your parents were surprised.

Terri ~ I'll keep your dad in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you. (((((HUGS)))))

Diane Sue ~ Are you back yet? I'm sure you're having a wonderful time w/your dh.

Susan ~ How are you? I have really been thinking about you.

Hi Christine!

Have great workouts everyone!

Dallas
 
Good Morning ladies,

I got a call from my dad yesterday and he could barely breathe. I caled him an ambulance as I didn't want to take any chances on him waiting for me to get there. He is in the hospital. He has congestive Heart Failure. The doctor told me they need to get to tweek his meds and then they will probably send him home in the next day or so. The doctor thinks my Dad may have not been taking his medications properly so the fluid built up. As you can imagine I am a bit stressed!

I need tolook at the rotation to see what I am suppose to do today. Can you tell I have been busy? :)

Sabrina-Let us know about the offer :)
Nicole-I think I will do BBBB today since youand Dallas are both doing it.
Lora-Wow you did a lot this a.m. considering you are sick!
Dallas-You are in my thoughts
Charlotte-Enjoy the bike ride.
Marietta-Did you start March this week?


Ok I better go check what's on my rotation today and get busy before I go to the hospital. I will check back.

Terri
 
Good morning!!

Seems like I haven't checked for quite some time...well I guess I actually haven't.

This morning I ran 4-miles on my treadmill and then I did the Power Circuit segment of BodyMax. I'll do a little more cardio at lunch and then shoulder or back work along with a set of BBM.

Well...we had my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary party this weekend...it was absolutel awesome!! It was not a surprise...it would have been hard to do that with my sister and brother having to come from out of town and with us needing to get addresses from my parents of their friends and family.

We had a program set up and had their friends and siblings speak...also, each of us children (5 of us in all), spoke of our parents and how much we love them and how much they have impacted our lives. It's wonderful to have setting to do this that is pleasant...this was something we wanted to do for them so that they can see how much they are loved. We had a LOT of people there and I know my parents were quite suprised. We wanted to honor them while they are here to enjoy it...things like this are often reserved for funerals and such.

I'm going to make a scrapbook of the occaison after I get pictures and give it to them as my gift.

Lora - Hope you shoulder does okay...try and have a good day at work!

Sabrina - Good luck! I hope the news is ALL GOOD!!

Nicole - Good workout in store! We had storms yesterday...not where I live but all around...it was scary!

Toasty - Hope you get that bike ride in today. I read you are going to get your DH in line. I think that he just has to face it...you are a hot momma and he better get it together!! My DH was telling me last night that he needed to watch it before he gets to big. It's true because that belly is slowly becoming more prominent. I tried to tell him a long time ago...but he didn't listen. It's mainly his diet...when he's ready...really ready...he'll ask me.

Dallas - The crop-for-a-cure sounds fun...never heard of that. I'm gonna start another scrapbook with the party pics (anniversary) in it for my parents. I did a scrapbook for my father-in-law and mother last year that I wish you could see...It's very nice and I'm usually quite hard on myself and my work.

Terri - Sorry about your dad. It's so hard for older people to keep on track with their medication. I know you are stressed....let us know how everything turns out. After the busy weekend, I really forgot what I was supposed to be doing. I decided on another half-marathon training plan that has 10-weeks of training instead of 12-weeks. So I haven't started training yet...nor have I started the march rotation. Just can't get on a rotation this month...no motivation to do it for some reason.

Long-winded today...

Hi Christine, Diane Sue, and Susan! Whatever happened to Lisa?

I'll be back later...

Terri-I hope everything is ok with your dad and he gets to go home. I am thinking about him (and Ashley) and hoping things go well.

Marietta- Sounds like your parents had a very nice anniversary party. I bet they really enjoyed it. Great workout too!

No news yet on the offer for my client. I hope I hear something soon. Not a patient person here! lol
 
Hi everyone,

I haven't checked in, in a long time either. It's been a pain having my husband home! hahaha He hooks up his laptop and is at my desk allll day and night. He's going to Deerfield, IL tomorrow. Do any of you guys live near there?

I've been mostly doing my stepper for a half hour or so and PH. I'm gradually going heavier with my weights. I'm really tired today, but I'm going to do something. I kinda blew the "diet" this weekend.

Marietta, that party sounds wonderful! I'm glad everything went well. My parents are celebrating their 40th this year. Next month, we all chipped in for a house on the Outer Banks in NC for a week.

Dallas, I got your email about your brother. Keep us posted tomorrow. I did a Crop Walk many years ago. That one was for Hunger. I dont remember if it was local or not....

Nicole, wow! you're really sticking to the rotation. I'm so glad you like it.

Terri, sorry to hear about your dad. If he’s forgetting to take his medication, maybe he could try using one of those daily pill containers to help out.

Sabrina, I’m rooting too!!! Hope you get the deal.

Charlotte, I’m in NY and we’ve had sunny weather lately, but cold and real windy.

I’ll try to check back later today. I just had a mug of Green Tea for caffeine (dh accidentally broke the coffee pot, cleaning it).

Hey Everyone,
Well I got my workouts in:eek: Susan I have not yet deviated from your rotation, but can I tell you somedays it is KILLER}(

Charlotte my Schwinn airdyne comp. is a wicked bike that actually kills me, but I am getting used to it}( It has a fan, and the faster you pedal the harder it is. It also works the upper body at the same time. It is my dh.... I never really rode the thing because it is so hard to use, but these ladies here inspired me to get more cardio in, and thus I started riding it about a month and a half ago.

Sabrina I have little spelling typo's all the time:7 I see I got tornado wrong today.... ha ha. Oh well as long as you guys get what I am trying to say.

Terri I am so sorry to hear about your dad!! I would be stressed to!! Sending you a big ((HUG)) and will had your dad to my prayers. Keep us updated!!

Dallas keeping you and your family in my prayers I know this is a tough time for you.

Marietta happy to hear you had such a wonderful weekend!! I think that is going to be a wonderful gift straight from the heart!!

Hello to everyone that follows!!

~Nicole
 
Hello Again!

Thanks everyone for the prayers for my brother. It means so much. I feel like I can only think about him and that test tomorrow. Boy, my stomach is in knots.

Nicole ~ I did some of the standing work in BBBB (still no lunges) and then the floor. I can tell this workout will grow on me. I can't wait until I can do the whole thing. Darn foot!:-( I started L&G from the standing leg extensions.

Terri ~ I bet you're glad you work out in times like these. I know it helps me. How's your dad?

Susan ~ Yes, Deerfield is not far from me. Maybe a little over an hour? I would love to just focus on circuits right now, but I've been putting sections of workouts together from different DVDs. I think it's helping me maintain until I can kick up the intensity. How's the baby?

Marietta ~ Sure wish we could get together and scrap. What fun we would have! :7 That will be a treasured gift!

I've made half of our dinner. Nicole, I made that tomato-garlic soup. It sure smells yummy!:9 I have one more bed to put linens on and then I'm hopping on the treadmill. My boys have been making shelters in the basement for the tornadoes that are coming.;-) It is windy here though! Our house is whistling. Anyone else's house do that?

Dallas
 
Hello Ladies...

I am doing okay...for a Monday. Have I ever mentioned that I hate Mondays? I was sooooo close to not coming to work today...but I got on up outta bed, worked out and came on in.

So...I did the Elliptical, some back work and one set of BBM exercises at lunch.

Susan - great to hear from you. I'm sure you love having you dh home, but don't you hate when it messes up your routine? Keep taking it easy...when your body is ready...you'll know.

Dallas - I can understand that your stomach would be in knots now...you have a lot going on right now. Your boys are funny...that's so cute of them. My house doesn't whistle, but I've lived in houses that have done that. That's when you REALLY knew the wind was blowing. Funny how I can do a scrapbook for others but not my own. I think I like the pressure of knowing it's for someone else that motivates me...go figure.

Sabrina - I'm not very patient either...keep yourself busy so you won't think about it.

Where is Christine today??

Later Alligators!!
