Morning Ladies -

Well - I tried to do a rest day today. I even kept my PJ's on and was just going to stretch, but I popped in Yoga Booty Ballet AM Latte and did the warm up/aerobic secgment (x 3) to make a 45 minute cardio workout (only moderate though HR 128-145) and then I did AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....Yoga in the Garden of Serenity and it felt soooo good. I highly recommend this DVD from Fitness Oganica if you want something to destress or if you're sore from a workout and need to get the kinks out. I was really sore from yesterday.....guess I really do need to cross train more. I forgot to add on my checkin that I did Crunch's Super Slim Down yesterday after my Kickboxing workout. Between the kickboxing (haven't done in a while) and the yoga/pilates blend workout, I'm sore in places I never get sore today! The yoga felt really good....especially on my piriformis that has been spasmed!

Susan - Another yoga recommendation (and you could probably look for Bryan Kest on this site also) is Yoga Shakti from Shiva Rea. I think I paid $25 for it on CD Universe, but it has TONS of stuff on it. It uses a Matrix system and you program what you want to do from the DVD when you do it. She is advanced and it has everything from gentle lying poses to very vigorous power yoga on it. The girls at VF love this DVD for it's versatality. I use it mostly for the stretching poses.

Have great workouts or rest days everyone. Speaking of rest days - when I tried to convince myself to take one this morning, I looked thru my exercise log. I took the partial rest day in October and the last full rest I had was in Vegas x 5 days at the end of August. I'm due for a trip to Vegas at the end of April, so I'll get my 5 rest days again then!! In the meantime, I'm gonna start crosstraining more with cardio. I ordered Cardio Coach #4, but now I'm wondering if I should order #3 as well.

I also can't decide what to get from Collage with my $30 model credit fee. I was thinking about preordering the new Jari Love DVDs.

I don't know what we're going to see today. I know we'll see Running Scared, but I don't know what else. I'll report back later. Off to soak in my tub with my Sex Bomb (one of my fave's and I can smell at the moment, so I better go quickly)!! I think the prednisone I've been on has been making me hungry and fat. I sure hope it helps my polyps!!
 
Hello Everyone,
Today I am working at little league sign up........so tonight I will have to do my workout. Will definitely get my bike ride in, but not sure about anything else????

FOUND a great thread that can explain better than anything I could ever say about why the TLT's are so good for you!!! Susan it reminds me what you posted about your dh!! This is why I will work TLT's into my workouts weekly!!

Hey Bill happy that you could drop in and tell your wife how GREAT she looks!! She is a WONDERFUL person and we just LOVE her!!! We think you are pretty GREAT to ;)

Susan happy to hear you are using your elip... I know when I first started riding my bike. I would watch the time/clock and just go from 1 min. to the next. I kept saying to myself ok 1 more minute. Now I am saying ok 5 more min.:7 I am getting to like doing cardio where I do not have to think???? :7

Dallas happy to hear you are in.......Lets start mon.......Terri?????

Hey Ladies - Who went to see Eight Below last week? Was it good? I'm trying to decide what I want to see today.
 
Hi there!

I haven’t decided what to do today. I think I'll do ME. It stinks that I really can't workout with Cathe. Does it make sense to do one of her DVD's with the "baby" weights I can use right now?

Nicole, I'm still at that stage on my stepper...one minute at a time. Maybe I'll hop on it today. I'd like to join you on your 30 Clean Out. I have to go by the baby's schedule too. SOmetimes I have to sit with him longer and I dont get as much done in a day as I'd like. Yesterday was a huge pick up and laundry day. Today, I'm polishing floors.

Lora, thanks for the yoga recommendations. I have P90X yoga, but haven’t even viewed it. I would probably try one from Netflix before buying another DVD. I can’t wait to see your picture in the Collage brochure! I have no clue what you look like.

Diane Sue, I guess your husband doesnt think your bathing suit is too small.;)

We're getting snow today!

I'll be around today.
Susan
 
Lora-I saw it and it was good. If you like animals you will like this moie. Just wanted to let you know that I will be bck soon to check-in.

Terri
 
Ok Back again. The phone rang when I was getting ready to post. Today is the last day of the Jan rotation. It calls for imax3 which is not my favorite but hey it's the last day :) Tomorrow I am going to run and do a ss wokout.

Ncole-Yes I could do 30 days to a simpler life! I am so glad you brought this up again as you should see my office!
Lora-Thanks for all the info on th workouts you did.
Diane Sue-HOW SWEET OF BILL TO POP IN AND GIVE HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE A COMPLIMENT. Does he have a brother :)
Susan-Ashley is doing well for the mos part!
Dallas-So just about a month until your trip. How fun!
Marietta-I am going o see what cathe posts for March then decide between that or feb. What do you think? I know I want to keep using SS too. So feb might give me more time to do that.
Sabrina-Sounds like you had a good time at the concert :)

I have no big plans for toay. I am going to work out and see what happens from there. I am feeling a bit down today. Work was so stressful last week with a problem with an employee. A some point with this Lady I just need o cut my losses. She does great work but called in 3 days and Really shouldn't have. Her excuses were lame.


Terri
 
Hey guys!!

I am popping in while I have a chance.

This morning I did IMAX 3 and then I did my legs, biceps and triceps. Have I ever mentioned how much I love IMAX 3??!!

Lora - I know what you mean about the rest days....they are hard to take sometimes. I don't schedule them, just take them when my body tells me to.

Terri - I think I will start the February until I see what March has to offer. I think with the February you will have more time because the workouts are not as long. Hope you have a nice peaceful weekend...

Hey Nicole - Have fun doing your sign-ups! Hope you get that bike ride in later...but if not...oh well.

Diane Sue - See my post yesterday about your Dell DJ...I want to know more about it. And your DH is really sweet!

Susan - You still haven't said anything about that shower...I'm not going to ask again (smile).

Hi to the rest of you...have a blessed day!!

HAHAHA!! Marietta! I started to type it out, but I didn’t think you checked in on the weekends so I was going to wait until Monday...keepen' me on my toes, huh?

It was a lot of fun. I even had a couple of Margaritas! Whoo Hoo! I mostly got baby outfits, bibs, blankets and gift certificates. There were about 12 or people there. We had dinner and a WONDERFUL dessert. I left around 1am, but the party didn’t end until 4am! I KNEW I should have stayed.

Susan
 
That sounds wonderful Susan...yep, keeping you in line...somebody's gotta...right?

They just partied away...even after you left..huh? How funny!

I'm glad you had a nice time out...I'm sure it did you some good.

Have a great day!!

Susan-That sounds like a fun baby shower! It lasted longer then some bachlorette parties :)

Marietta-Nice to see you on the weekend. Ok I am with you on feb unless March is too good to pass up :) It motivates me when I have someone to do a rotation with.

How is everyone else? I cleaned my bathroom and kitchen floors and then my dog got sick! I want to cry right now but I won't! She is 15 and a hald years old and Someday's she is a lot of work.

Good afternoon,
I slept in this am. I had grandchildren overnight. I got in P90X Kempo and 1.5 mile treadmill run, Core Max tough core. I have my son coming over here after work and my daughter in law and daughter meeting here. The women are all going to a Mary Kay party tonight. I am hoping to get home early enough to talk to dh online before he goes to work. I really want to tell him Happy Birthday. I am getting my nails done tomorrow afternoon and the family is coming over for a b day party for my niece. I need to get that cake made today:)

Nicole, isn't my dh a sweetheart. That's why I love him so much.

Susan, it looks like you had a fun shower. You deserve some enjoyment. I know newborns and having other children can be a challenge. You will soon get your workouts back to what you enjoy doing. Just enjoy the moments with the little ones. You can never go back and do it over. BTW I somehow did not figure dh would think it was to small:)

Terri, actually dh has a brother. A completely different personality though. I got the best!

Marietta, my Dell digital Jukebox does not have fm radio. I have had it for several years now. It has 20 GB of memory. I have never ran the battery down. I know they now have really small ones and other models. I have some music set up in playlists so I can just pull out exercise, or classic rock, current etc. (these are some of my categories) You can put in your own. I hook it up to my treadmill speaker jack and can listen to whatever I want. I also bought a cable to hook it to my stereo system so I can listen to whatever I want using it. I can also use a cable I bought and hook it to the television in my workout room and listen through the television speakers. I bought an fm converter for the car. It is only so so. Most of the time I don't want to spend time adjusting things. Now my son uses his Dell Axim for his music. I have one of those too. You can even save stuff to a card and play it that way. OK I am getting long here. Yes I think my dh is a seety and very special:)

Hi to everyone else,
I am off to see what I can get done
