Morning Ladies-

This morning I again overslept and had to cut my workout short. I REALLY need to stop doing this. I only had time for about 50 minutes of Power & Grace. A body bar/gliding DVD workout that was just so/so.

I don't know what is up with me. I'm feeling really "mental" and can't get focused on my workouts. This is not like me. I feel really fat and depressed and "out of balance". I just finished my period so this is not hormonal. I hope I can snap out of this. Sorry I haven't been around much.

Marietta - did you try any Power Yoga yet?

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Good Morning!

Lora ~ Sorry you're feeling so lousy. Just think the weekend is almost here. My dh has tomorrow off. Do you?

Marietta ~ You got the Power Yoga too? I love that DVD. Yes, let us know how you like it.

Sabrina and Susan ~ Have fun on your vacation! Sabrina, how was the band? I forgot which night you were going to see Dani's dh's band? I'm sure you girls had a lot of fun!

Terri ~ How are you feeling?

Nicole ~ Weren't you going away too? How did your conferences go yesterday?

Christine ~ Still raining out there? How are you liking P90X?

Diane Sue ~ I'm sure you're counting down the days! :)

Charlotte ~ What have you got planned for the holiday?

Today I did S&H Chest, back & planks. I'm going to the gym after I get the kids on the bus for the elliptical. I have PT this afternoon.

***********Happy Easter everyone!***************

I'm not sure who will be around this weekend. Have a safe (for those traveling) and sugar-free (ha ha!) weekend! I'm going to try really hard on that sugar-free part. ;-) I didn't buy too much for their baskets, but my MIL brings over the whole store! :-( It's a shame I throw so much out every year.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Yesterday rode my bike with son for 13 miles and did one set of bbm w/weights. Today I will do a challenge circuit working all body parts and plyo's. My neck is alittle stiff so hopefully that won't interfere with my workouts.

Hubby is having a hard time at his job. One of his drivers just died a few days ago while on the job...truck turned over and killed him. Other things going on too and he hasn't been himself lately. So when he feels down, I do too.

My job starts on Monday 10-4pm. I am nervous about it. When will I eat? Will I starve? Will my house fall apart and be the dirtiest house ever? Will I do a good job? I will look like a "butt" the first few days as I don't know what to do...HATE THIS!!!!!! I am a control freak, what can I say? Been having dreams of being chased. I know I will be working out before I go to work so I ain't worried about fitting in my workouts now.

Dallas,

Don't have anything planned for Easter. BTW, I love planks. I am going to do some today along with my ab work. Fun stuff! My children are out of school today so I slept in.

Lora,

Your gonna snap out of it this funk soon. It happens to me too. Think happy thoughts. I could come up there to Ohio and do stepping in front of you and you would laugh your butt off!!!! I am getting better, but SOME TIMES I know I look dumb. LOL!

Hey to all the other sweating maniacs!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Good morning fellow maniacs!

Lora - I'm sorry you're down too! I don't like feeling like that. Maybe you're fighting a bug if it's not you normally.

Dallas - I start P90X Sunday, so I'm kind of taking it easier this week. I plan on doing SIM and maybe a run in the afternoon. We might actually see blue sky today! YEAH!!! I'm so excited about that.

Hello to Marietta, Terri, Charlotte, Diane Sue, Sabrina, and Susan!
 
Morning ladies!!!

Wow I feel like I am late checking in today! lol

Lora-Sorry you are feeling down and out. I hope you feel better soon. (((Hugs)))

Dallas-The concert is tonight. It should be fun!!! We leave early in the morning for Wisconsin. It will be a very short night!! lol I hope to take a lot of pictures so I will post some when we get back for you all to see. I can't wait to see the ladge now since they have added on a lot more to the waterpark (inside and out).

Charlotte-That has to be rough on your DH. I hope he can figure out a way to deal with it. Good luck on you new job on Monday. I imagine you will be fine and I would think you could fit in some snacks sometime. Great job on the 13 mile bike ride.

Christine-Are you still soggy?? lol I hope it has stopped raining and you have a nice dry day!!

Terri-I have you address and I will send the fudge when I get it. I hope your dad likes it. I LOVE it!!! Not sure which day we will go to the candy store yet, but probably on Saturday. Not sure what will be open and not open on Easter sunday there. hmmmmm?

Hi Diane Sue, Marietta, Susan!!!

I will try and check in again later!!

Have a great day!!
 
Hello!

Today I ran a couple of miles and then did SH Biceps and Triceps.

Dallas, What Greek platter did you decide to make? Enjoy making the dinner for your family. I’m sure everything will turn out wonderful. Oh, sugar free?? Sorry, I got into my sons Easter candy so I’ve got to buy more. x( I’m so embarrassed.

Sabrina, I started to put my information on the sparkspeople website earlier this morning. The meal plan they started me on was pancakes, nachos, and other junk type foods. So, I have to enter everything myself. It’ll be worth it I think. Hey, did you hear from you client yesterday?

Christine, I have P90X and never use those dvd’s. Maybe after hearing what you say about the workouts may change my mind to pull them out once in a while. I just love Cathe too much! ;)

Lora, sounds like you need a good solid day of rest. Maybe over the weekend, sleep late, do you usual weekend soak, maybe rent some movies to watch at home. Have your husband make the popcorn.

Marietta, how did your meeting go yesterday?

Charlotte, you’ll do just fine at your new job. Is there a counter you can stand behind for a couple of minutes if you want a snack? Maybe pack a container of sliced apple and almonds. They don’t make a mess.

Terri, did your meeting go well yesterday? What kind of business do you run?

Hi Diane Sue! What day does your husband get home? My family and I are so thankful for all the hard work and dedication he has done for our Country!

Hi Nicole.:D

Susan

Hello Ladies! Today is muscle Max and a outdoor run. The weather is too nice to stay inside. I am feeling better just a bit tired. maybe it is stress. I wory about Dad etc and of course Dave not finding work in his computer field yet. Oh well things have a way of working out right?!

Susan-I own a housecleaning business. I started it years ago when I was laid off from my computer job. It can be stressful at times with employees and clients but I do enjoy being my own boss.

Dallas-I am still unsure of what I am doing this weekend. As son as I know what Dave and Ashley are doing I can make concrete plans. Have a great Easter !

Sabrina-Have a safe and fun trip. Thanks so much for sending the fudge to my dad! have a great time with the gang tonight when you go to see Scott!

Christine-I will be anxious to see how you like p90x. I think about geting that series.

Charlotte-Work will be fun for you I think!

Lora-Hope you feel better soon!

Nicole-How are you?

Marietta-Still doing your own thing as far as workouts? What are you doing for Easter?

Hello to anyone I missed!

Terri
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!

This morning I did IMAX3. I'll get in a good leg workout at lunch.

Lora - I have not tried the Power Yoga yet...I'm going to try really hard to get it in over the weekend. I think you are a little bit of a slump because you are "depressed". Once you start to feel good about yourself...you'll do better. Sending positive vibes right your way!!

Dallas - Lora sent me some Power Yoga videos since she replaced hers with DVDs. These are my first yoga workouts...the challenge will be for me to calm my hyper self down and actually do it. Hope you have a wonderful Easter...

Toasty - "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." (Matthew 6:34)...enuf said! Have a good workout today...ok?

Christine - Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!!

Sabrina - Have fun at the concert...should be a blast!!

Susan - My meeting went very well..thanks for asking. My boss was very impressed. Glad that's over with...Is running getting any better for you?

Terri - Yeah...still doing my own thing for now. We are gonna go to church for Easter and then have dinner at my in-laws. Both of my groups are dancing so I'll be running around like a mad woman. Have a great workout...sounds like you have beautiful weather like we do here.

Hi Diane Sue and Nicole!

I'll be back later.

Hi...I'm back!

The weather here is just beautiful. We'll be heading outdoors soon. I did the elliptical for 30 minutes and then quick hopped on the Stair Master for 30. I have done the Stair Master in ages. That machine is tough! My feet were so numb on the elliptical that's why I switched machines. I'd like to squeeze in some leg work later, if not definitely tomorrow.

Marietta ~ I love that quote from Matthew. I have to say that one to myself a lot. ;-) Enjoy your full weekend!

Susan ~ Thank goodness I have another week. Greek Easter is next Sunday. My dh is making rack of lamb on the grill. We're also cooking a leg of lamb. I'm not particularly fond of lamb, but that's what his family likes. I'm making Greek potatoes & salad. Still working on the rest of the menu. Don't fret over the candy. You've been getting in some great workouts! Now **I** have to be careful since I'm still not up to speed yet with my workouts. I hope I'll have willpower Sat. night making up the baskets.;-)

Terri ~ How's your dad? Did something happen? Or is he still recuperating from the last time he was in the hospital?

Charlotte ~ I was going to suggest some of the same things Susan did. What about yogurt? Power bars? I have them in the car for emergencies.

Sabrina ~ Enjoy the concert! Tell the other girls I said, "Hello".

Christine ~ That's right about P90X. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I'll tell you S&H does the trick for me. A woman at the gym asked me how got my arms so sculpted! :7 My sister made a comment in FLA too! I agree with Susan. I like working out with Cathe!

Enjoy the afternoon!

Dallas
 
Hey Everyone,
I just have a minute to post.... Getting everything ready for our trip. I have to take the dog to board soon. :eek:

Marietta ya it was for the kids at school. They are doing wonderful!!

This moring I did Cardio kicks by Cory Everson (but taught by Gus Gates) It was FUN, but I wanted my HR up a little more so after I go done with that I put Kickmax in and did the 4 KPC combos. I really like those!! Then I did GS BSB. Now I really should have been packing ;)

So now I had better get at it!!:7

Wishing EVERYONE of you a HAPPY EASTER!! Take care, and I will be back on Monday!!

((HUGS))

Good evening,
I am late as usual. I think the way my schedule is ending up I may be late or missing a lot. Tomorow school is out and I had loads of plans for my grandchildren. Now I have to take 4 of them out mid day to see my tax guy. I thought I had only two when I made the appt.. Anyway today I did iFit treadmill red rock workout at the same levels they did it as I am on P90X recovery. Then I did LM premix 4-7 no w/u or st. I followed this with P90X stretch. This stretch tape is long but always makes me feel good. 57 min of stretching is great, just hard to want to fit in (not a waste of time)I m upset with beach body. I cannot reach them and they are not answering me. I ordered Maximum Turbo Jam and had it on 2nd day shipping. I hope they do not try and charge this as it has been a week.
I bought the grandchildren Tony and the Kids from Beach Body. They love it. He looks a little little younger they have done it several times now. I bought them all water bottles and painted on them so they would know who's they had. I also bought them a Monster Tennis set from Target. Anything to get them moving.
We are having Easter here and dinner. I have a Nephew and his wife coming with the family. (actually I am his great, great aunt, (I think) Scary huh? I bought a plastic basket and am hoping to get pics of my grandchildren with my bunny. Wish he did not nip holes in my clothes LOL. Sorry this is long

Lora, I am so sorry things are that tough. I use cardio to beat stress. Just go for what you enjoy and realize you are an intelligent person with so much to offer and this woman has her own issues if she feels the need to make others miserable. Maybe that is how she was treated and so that is how she learned to be. She is not that important.

Susan, P90X for me is not as much fun as Cathe. But I gained back strength, and I am sure chest with all of those different pushups. I find some moves difficult so I know I am missing something doing Cathe. Not to knock Cathe at all. She is still my favorite. I feel P90X is not produced as well as Cathe. I would rather do S&H or GS. I even liked some of the lower body moves. I am aiming for heavy lower after this though.

Terri, good for you running your own business. I am sure that there are rough times when workers do not show up.

Sabrina enjoy your trip

Charlotte, I am sorry for your dh. I know when you are close everything affects both of you. This would be hard for him I am sure.

Marietta, I am not sure what I want to do either. I may play it by ear finishing out this month and May as I have so many things going on then. My granddaughters have their Dance performance. I have two evenings of having their makeup done and costumes on and probably dinner. School is out, dentist, 2 birthdays, mothers day, eye appt., I am even making early appts. as I need to pick up from school. I like having my mornings and hate those early appts. Thanks for the scripture. I am sure things will workout fine. They always do!

Dallas, I don't think I lost lower body strength with P90X. I am sure I gained some upper. I think it is a great workout. I look at some of the workouts with dread factor which for me means I need to do this so it is not difficult.

Have a great weekend everyone
Diane Sue
