Morning Fitness Maniacs!!

This morning I only had time to do 40 minutes of P90 Masters Plyo Legs. I had to cut it a bit short cuz I overslept and was rushing around like a maniac.

Ugh...I only got 3 hours of sleep (maybe ...if that). I was so excited last night that I couldn't fall asleep. First off, my DH bought us a new car yesterday (I'll have it in a couple days). It's a 2006 Nissan Sentra Sports Edition with an Audio Fanatic Package.....300 watt stereo with 8 speakers!! I'm gonna be rockin'.

Then - later in the evening my niece called and said she thinks she wants to go to the Buckcherry concert now cuz she heard the new song. She's calling me back tonight to see if she can get the day off. If we go, we're gonna try to get the tickets in a special presale where you get to go to a sound check and meet the band. If I do go, I'm planning on calling off sick from work the next day.....as I have only been off sick one time in the 2 years I've been there and we lost some of our Personal days and Sick time this year, so I figure....what the heck and it's my Clean Date weekend to boot.....I'll have 19 years clean that weekend. I think I deserve a couple sick "hooky" days!

Okay - I'm babbling again!

Dallas- glad to hear your foot is better. Are you able to jump on it yet?

Sabrina - I posted the website for Mindy yesterday but in case you didn't see it it's www.Jumpfitness.com.

Gah..........I hope my boss takes a chill pill today. She was ready to write me up for poor job performance yesterday because I had to call Payroll to ask for help trying to figure out someone's time card. God please help me today!!

Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check back from the office.

ETA: I wanted to let you ladies know of a lovely compliment I rec'd the other day. I don't want to seem conceited...buy ya'll are my friends, right? An 18 year old employee was sitting in my office and overheard someone say that I was 46 and he got this look on his face and said "do you workout or something?".....to which I replied "yep". I thought it was a nice compliment and just wanted to share it. NOw if I keep doing my "Magically Hips" and "Tragically Hips" yoga, I can reverse the aging process even mores since hip openers are known to do that!!
 
Morning ladies!!

Lora-That is a nice compliment and you are not conceited and we are your friends! Too bad more people don't give out compliments, I think people would be happier. The concert sounds like fun and I hope your niece can go with you. Meeting the band would be really cool. Take a pic of the new car! We want to see it. Congrats! It is nice to get a new car. I still love mine. I did get the link yesterday, thank you. I will have to check out the DVD's when I have more time. There looked like there were several there. I hope you boss is in a better mood today. The hag!! lol

I jumped on my trampoline again last night. Not very long though because I was tired. I hope to get some more jumping time in today. ;-) I also hope to do something else too, I am just not sure what.

Lora & Terri--I have your disc ready to go. I just have to get the postage on the envelope. I will do that after I have everyone ready to go today. You should get it soon. Sorry it has taken me a little longer to get out than I thought.

Have a great day!! I will be back later!

ETA: Dallas--Are you ready to go??? I am so excited for you!! I can't wait for December to get here so we can go. Are you flying?
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!

Well yesterday I did 6 of the Imax 2 blast, chest/back off smith machine and 13 mile bike ride. Today is my rest day! I am going to be applying for a job today. It is really hard finding work where I live and I tend to be picky, but I think I might have found something I would like and the hours so ya'll wish me luck?

Lora,

Glad your neice is going to the concert with you. You are going to have so much fun. So you think you will get to meet the band? Doesn't it feel good to get those kind of compliments too? DD was just telling me yesterday that one of her guy friends thought I was hot and he was waving at me the other day. I figured he was waving at her as my DD was in the car with me also. She is like..."no, mom..he was waving at you"> LOL! And I don't think you sound conceited mentioning about the compliment. It is always a good thing!!!!!

Sabrina,

You are one jumping woman!!!! I can see you now. You could get a bunny costume and pretend your the Easter bunny or something for your kids. LOL! I like to really jump off my stepper. I feel like Catwoman or something! LOL!

Marietta,

I went over my rotation and tidy it up a bit. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate you taking the time to go over it with me.

Hello to everyone else!!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

This morning I did CTX-Step and Intervals, I also did the chest work on that workout as well. This is probably Christine's fault since she mentioned it yesterday (smile). Those staggered push-ups are not nice...especially since it comes after some dumbbell and barbell work. I will probably run with the guys at lunch today and do a set of BBM exercises.

Lora - Yay!! You're getting a new car...how awesome!! With that booming system...you might want not want to ever go in the house. Thanks for sharing your compliment with us...that's not conceited...you better tell us!! I don't even want to get started on your boss...

Sabrina - Hope you have a super day!!

Toasty - I'm going to email you after I get out of my meeting this morning.

Hi to all that follow...I'll be back.

Good Morning Everyone!

Lora ~ That's awesome on the compliment! Keep it up! I hope to try out Eoin Finn's download of tragically hips or at least part of it in the hotel. Probably wishful thinking. ha ha! You never know. No, I have not tried jumping on my foot...I'm a scaredy cat. ;-) Actually, the PT said that she would like for me to try running there in a controlled environment. That will happen after vacation. Once I can do that with no problem, I'll add in some other forms of cardio. Good luck today with that boss of yours!

Sabrina ~ Yep, I think I'm finally ready. I have all my stuff ready to go into the suitcase. I was going to iron it before I left. Probably a waste of time? Do you have a rebounder? Dh said I could get one. I'll have to look at Lora and Susan's links again...if I can find them.

Charlotte ~ Good luck with the job search! I've often thought to go back, but will wait until the kids are in school full time (all of them). Great workout yesterday. Enjoy your rest day.

Terri ~ How's your dad?

Susan ~ Yes, we want to see some updates of your little guy!

Nicole ~ Are you still sticking with all the cardio you've been doing with this rotation? It's addicting isn't it?!

Marietta ~ How's the training going for the half?

Christine ~ I don't like scary movies either...the always come back to haunt me and the worse time. lol

Hi Diane Sue!

Today I did FIU, CM#2, and then 45 minutes on the treadmill. It was tempting to run! }( Incline walking has really helped my glutes! :) Anyone ever get a bikini wax. Um, ouch!!! What was I thinking yesterday?! ha ha! Sorry, TMI? Now if I could find a way to not have to shave my legs. lol!

Have a great day everyone!

Dallas

Dallas-Dad seems to be doing better. Have fun on your trip!
Marietta-What are you doing for your marathon training?

Nicole-I need to get busy on the simple r life book again.

Ok I better decide what I ma going to do :)

Terri
 
*Slides into thread with sneakers squealing*

Good morning Lovely Maniacs!

I'm stoked. I dropped 4 pounds! FINALLY I broke that darned plateau and I'm moving in the right direction! *does happy dance around the room* I was in the mood for some jumping myself today, so I did HCE # 3, skipped the leg drills, and did CTX Back. I forgot how much I enjoy high impact. Later I'll do a Spinerval CD at the gym.

Lora - Congrats on the rockin' new car! And 19 years clean? WOW! I'm really impressed. Have fun with your niece at the concert! And thanks for sharing that compliment with us - that had to make you feel good! You go girl!

Sabrina - have fun jumping! I love it to! Now if I could just get the springs that Cathe seems to have in her shoes, I'd be happy. LOL

Charlotte - Good luck to you on the job hunt!

Marietta - Did CTX Back today - so that must be on your agenda for tomorrow... And YES those staggered push ups are killer. I had a few choice words for Cathe on the second set! :p

Dallas - have fun packing! Bikini wax, eh? Haven't had the er, pleasure...

Terri - my vote if for Body Max! It's one of my fav's. I like SJP, too but Body Max rocks. And it's FINALLY on my rotation for next week!

Well, must get back to work, ladies. I think the merger of my company will finally happen today. Could be interesting. I'll get some stock money so I'm purchasing P90X to begin in May. I'm going to die... :)
 
The job thing was a waste of my time, but I didn't know it. Ad didn't say anything about experience. Production job and paid nicely though. Never worked in a warehouse before, but was Executive Secretary years ago and worked for 4 departments...that is not production enough????? LOL! The guy looked at me like he didn't believe it when I told him that I had this job 15 years ago. He just had this stupid grin on his face as if to say, "yeah, right". Jerk!!!!! So whatever. Life goes on, right?

Terri,

I will post my rotation probably tomorrow.

Charlotte~~
 
Hello Everyone,
Today I did FYC and S&H back and planks, and I will ride my airdyne tonight.(last night went 6 miles)

Dallas I look to start my A-Jock rotation next week.....if nothing comes up... The kids are on spring break so I might just go to wisconsin??? Not sure yet...depends on what I want to do... Yes I really am getting addicted to cardio via the bike. It is such a easy way to get it done:)

Lora thats don't you love getting compliments like that:D

Terri yesterday I was on one big cleaning spree, and I am still feeling that way today:D That book really inspires me!!

Sabrina don't you just love that no thinkin cardio:D Keep jumpin :7

Well gotta go get some more house work done while I am in the mood;-)



~Nicole
 
Well I did choose bodymax and i had a great time doing it! It seems to move at a fast speed! Later I will do TIU. I am also going to go for a walk. The weather is beautiful and I feel the need for a nice walk.

Charlotte-Sorry the job thing didn't go well. I am looking forward to seeing your rotation.
Christine-Congrats on the weight loss!
Nicole-good for you on the cleaning! Come do mine :)

Ok I will check back later. Hope everyone has a good afternoon.

Terri
 
Afternoon ladies!

Took the boys to the library this morning and they each picked out a book and a movie. The movie they chose was Popeye (the cartoon). LOL!

Charlotte-LOL on the bunny costume! The boys would die of laughter. Sorry about the job. Something will pop up. I would love to find something part time until I start selling houses.

Marietta-How was the run with the guys? Did you smoke them?? lol

Dallas-I have a mini trampoline that I bought at Dicks Sporting Goods and it was not very much. It does fine with my jumping. lol Glad you have everything ready to go. Just think of all the walking you will get in walking the parks at Disney. You will get some exercise. Ouch on the bikini wax. I have thought about it but have never had the guts to do it.

Terri-Glad you dad is doing better. The weather here still stinks. Rained yesterday and it is gloomy and cold today. Where is the sun???

Christine-Congrats on the 4 pounds!!! That is great! I would love to have Cathe's springs too. haha

Nicole-Where you thinking about going in Wisconsin?

Hope everyone has a great afternoon. I shall be back!
 
Good afternoon,
I ended up with two rest days. Sunday was a family day and Monday I spent the morning with DH before he left. Then I just didn't feel like working out. So today I did P90X Plyometrics and P90X Chest & Back. I still want to get in Ab ripperX and some Bowflex abs. I had to run errands this morning and pic up some groceries.

Charlotte, I'm sorry to hear the job did work out.

Lora, I am sure you will enjoy the new car. I know how it is when I have something exciting going on and sleep just doesn't want to happen. Maybe you will catch up tonight. I downloaded the free audio yoga with Eoin Finn. I haven't had time to try them yet.

Christine, good for you breaking your plateau!

Susan, please do post some pictures of the baby. I bet he has grown.

Hi Terri, Nicole, Marietta,Dallas,Sabrina
Hope I didn't miss anyone

Christine - What rotation were you doing when you lost the weight. That's what I need to do.

My boss is at it again, so I best scoot out of here. Later!
 
*whaps Lora's boss upside the head with a silly putty hammer and tells her to stop being so tough on such good employees*

Lora - I PM'd my rotation. As I said in my PM - I think my eating has more to do with my losing weight than my rotation, but I did step that up as well.

Thanks everyone for the kudo's - as I love food so much, it's tough for me to lose weight. I'm thrilled beyong imagination with this!
 
hey guys I'm back....

I did go running at lunch today...We had a good group...they wouldn't let me to far ahead of them today...darn it!!

Dallas - I am training for the half, but I'm not following my program like I'm supposed to be. I think I'm having a problem this month with following any kind of plan...I guess I just want to d my own thing. I hope I get my rear in gear real soon!! Tomorrow you are outta here!! I'll miss you...try to remember every single thing so you can tell us about it. Uhhhggg nope...never had a bikini wax...thinking that will probably never happen now *sigh*

Terri - Girl! What you up to? Did I read that you were taking a walk??!! I don't think I've ever heard those words from you...not that it's a bad thing. I think it will do you good...enjoy. As far as my training...see my comments to Dallas above **sigh** Love Bodymax...it's da bomb!!

Christine - YOU GO GIRL!!!! I'm extremely happy for you for your weight loss...well, I just may have to follow your lead and do CTX back tomorrow...it will be back day afterall. Ha! Ha! I had some choice words on those push-ups myself...why does she save them for last??!! Hey glad you got some extra $$ to get some workouts....what a maniac you are!! Enjoy the rest of your workout today!!

Toasty - When one door closes...a nice little window will be opening up very shortly...something will come your way in it's time.

Nicole - I may do that rotation if I can get my act together and stick to some kind of plan...it's not looking good right now, but hey, that could change.

Sabrina - The run went well...I didn't quite smoke em today...but that's okay. I finished and I finished strong...we ran 7.5 to 8.5 minute miles. How smart...taking the boys to the Library...bet they loved that. Getting good use out of that trampoline aren't you?

Diane Sue - It's okay to not feel like working out...you deserve some time off. Have you seen that Bowflex Revolution? Looks awesome!

Have a great evening!!

My Turbo Jams are here!! I don't know if I'll have time to preview them tonight, but I probably will add some on to my weight workout tomorrow....granted I drag my butt out of bed.
 
Lora, is that the Maximum Burn Turbo Jam set? I ordered Cardio Party and Cardio Party 2. Have fun trying them out. I am on week 11 of P90X so will soon be ready to change things up. I bet the compliment you got felt good! Things like that help keep one motivated. Proof you have been working hard:)
