Hi Ladies -

This morning I did Margaret Richards Good and Strong Volume 2. This is a high rep workout and the most you use is 8 lbs. The leg work is all lying down and it really doesn't burn a lot of calories, so I wanted to do some cardio but didn't have time.

Ugh...I've only gotten a few hours of sleep. Last night someone hacked into my Paypal account and added an email address and changed security stuff on it and then they got my credit card and checking account numbers. I was on the phone most of the night with Paypal, Visa and my bank. My husband - who never wanted me to get Paypal - is ready to kill me. He is a REAL hot head and he was screaming so loud last night I thought I'd go deaf. He's probably not going to want me to have Paypal or sell or E-bay after this -- although I hope not...cuz there would go all of my spending money. He left for work and said "I'll deal with you later". Anyway, the Credit Card company says someone's been charging all kinds of stuff on our account and my Paycheck gets direct deposited in the checking today. It's creating one giant headache. Also, the person that accessed my Paypal account was from Nigeria.

Needless to say - I needed a more agressive workout this morning and I'm not feeling like I had a good workout. I'll probably do some cardio tomorrow instead of resting.

I need a rotation! I want to do a P90X with extra cardio and some P90 Masters thrown in. I posted over at VF....but nobody's being cooperative. Right now - I've got bigger problems......so I'll not worry about it at the moment.

Have great workouts everyone.

ETA: Marietta - For now, I'm not cancelling Push....but who knows when I'll change my mind. I doubt I could ever stick with just doing that program for a few weeks though. I need more variey than that.
 
Lora ~ That is horrible!!! My dh would have reacted the same way. If I tell him your story, my e-bay days are done. I hope you get everything worked out!

Today I woke up with some major DOMS in my hamstrings. I couldn't figure out why then it dawned on me TIU and all of those deadlifts. Here I thought it wasn't doing much for me yesterday. }( So, I tried out Pilates Scult with Ellen Barrett off of Fit TV. I really liked her, but definitely a rest day work out.

I may jump on the treadmill and see how my foot is after I get the kids on the bus. Today Patrick Goudeau will be on Fit TV at 8 and noon with an "advanced" all step work out. I set Tivo to tape it. I'll watch it while I'm on the treadmill.

Marietta ~ You must have missed my post when I said I married into a BIG Greek family. They would have a party for Flag Day. LOL! ;) We celebrate EVERYONE'S b-day, etc. Sometimes it's a bit much...running around trying to find gifts & cards and then I have to wrap it. I'd like the weekends to be a little more low key and just hang out with just us. I treasure those weekends when they come.

Well, I'll check back and see what everyone is up to later...

Hello Everyone,
Today I am going to do Step pump and jump. I have a yen to do that workout:D

Lora that is so Scary about your paypal account. I have had a account for year's. (rearly us it) but now you got me worried. How did you find out someone accessed it, and changed everything around. Did you call your cc and cancel your CC?? I hope you get this all worked out quickly, and tell your dh to lay off!! It's not like you wanted this or did this on purpose. Take care, and sending you ((HUGS))

Dallas you crack me up. I love that movie. Do you use windex for everything to:7 haha. I bet you always have a story to tell!!

Marietta how much do you run a day? You know that I am not a cardio person, but you have got me thinking that I can add cardio by riding my bike daily. I am going to try and match you miles per miles on my bike }( That will keep me motivated to get on the blasted thing, and fun to do it with you. Let me know what you think??

Diane Sue I am so excited for you and dh!! You are going to have a wonderful time in cancun:D Let me know about your soup recipes. I LOVE LOVE soup.

Susan do you really think 113 lbs is alot of weight??? I would LOVE to send you 10 lbs:7

Well gotta go!

Hi everyone,

I feel really good so far today. Not much back pain. I'll do some stuff around the house and be a Secret Reader at my son’s school.

My mother and sister are coming out this weekend. Monday my two sisters and mother will spend the day together and dh and I will go out to dinner that night.

Dallas, I bet it does get to be a bit much celebrating everything!
I saw a home show, and one recommendation they had was to buy lots of cards at once for different occasions. Then you don’t have to keep making trips to get one.

Nicole, I like your idea about keeping up with Marietta (and Diane Sue, for that matter) on your bike. I have a stepper and if I could do as many miles on that thing as Marietta runs, I'd get in awesome shape in no time!

Lora, ok, here it goes......Just who does your husband think he is to talk to you like that? You work VERY hard for your money. ID theft and internet credit card fraud happens ALL THE TIME! "I'll deal with you later"? Yeah, ok pal. What are you going to do? Spank me? Just last night on the news they were saying PayPall is the safest company to use for internet transactions. SOrry, if I'm out of line, but that REALLY bothers me that he yelled like that.

Diane Sue, Cancun sounds wonderful! One of my sisters has gone there a number of times. She and her husband love it.

I'll check in later.

Susan C.M.

Hey Marietta I got to thinking. I don't think doing mile per mile is fair.....So how many more miles would be fair... Should I ride 1or 2 extra miles of what you run or more????
 
Hi Ladies and TGIF!

Dallas, it carcks me up when you say My Big Fat Greek Wedding too! I love that movie :) How is your foot doing?
Lora-Sorry but I agree with Susan. Any man talked to me like that and he would be minus a couple parts}( Ii hope we don't make you mad by saying that, You have a boss who is a bully so I would thnk you don't ned that at home as well!
Nicole-I like your idea to match Marietta to get your time in on your bike. Have you always hated cardio?
Diane Sue-I am so envious of your trip. I bet you are counting down the days.
Sabrina-Did you get the babysitting stuff worked out?
Marietta-I know you are off today but hope you get a chance to pop in.
Susan-Oh how fun a date night with your dh. Have fun!

I went out with friends last night and I am a bit tire today. Tonight I am going out to play pool and drink diet soda. Sunday night I am going to see a movie with friends. SO my evenings are full and my days can be spent working out:) I will check in late. I am going on a run and then do a upperbody workout. I think I will do SUper sets upperbody blast!

Terri
 
Morning ladies!

Lora-I am so sorry that that happened to you! I don't think your DH should have yelled at you either. Things like that just happen, there was nothing you could have done.

Dallas-I wish I have fit tv so I could see some of these workouts that I keep hearing about. Do you really like them? We have thought about getting a dish or cable but haven't talked about it lately. When we looked into a dish we were going to have to get two so we could get the local channels and I was not fond of that idea. I am not sure I could keep up with all of the parties that you seem to have. lol

Diane Sue-Cancun, that sounds wonderful! I am so happy for you and your DH.

Nicole-Good luck with keeping up with Marietta!

Susan-Glad you are feeling ok today. Have a nice night out with your DH this weekend. It wont be long now! I bet you are excited!

Hi Marietta and Terri!!

I am not up to much today. I did get the two Turbo Jam live DVD's yesterday that I should preview but Ethan is watching Sesame Street and being a good boy and I hate to disturb that! LOL! I have to work tomorrow all by myself. No one is in the office on Saturdays except whoever is on duty. 9 - 12 on my own, kind of scarey since I have not done anything yet!

Have a great day! I will be back later.

ETA: Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned Terri!! Kick some butt at pool! lol I decided not to ask my MIL to babysit this month when I made up the calendar of the days I could possibly take for work. I took my moms calendar into consideration and that was it. I am waiting now to see how mad my MIL will get because she is NOT being asked to watch the boys. I can't win! x(
 
Oh I forgot to tell Dallas that I always tivo fittv but don't always watch it. SO Thanks for tellig me patrick is on there today. I will check that workout later.

Sabrina-Sending good vibes your way that you get a client tomorrow :)

Lora-I am also sorry that happened to you. I hope it gets worked out soon.

Terri
 
Yeah Lora, I agree, with everyone else about your dh. My dh can yell, but saying "he'd deal with you later.." was a little harsh. It seems like he's treating you like a child. It's just a horrible situation. (((((HUGS)))))

I couldn't wait to get back here and tell you about Patrick's step workout. It looked fun! I can't wait to try it. There are three "blocks" as he calls them and then he puts it all together at the end twice. If you think RS is hard to master, it looks like this one would fall into that category. However, once you get it all down it could be a real calorie burner. He does one move called the Wizard. He actually looks like Dorothy when she's doing her little jig down the yellow brick road, but you do it over your step! I won't be attempting that one until this foot is 100%.

Terri ~ I just did the treadmill for 40 minutes. Walking, walking on an incline, light jogging, and then reverse back to walking w/no incline. I didn't want to push it. However, I miss my cardio and it's making me crabby! x( I'll see how my foot feels later. Have fun this weekend!

Sabrina ~ Yes, let's figure something out for that weekend you'll be up here. Provided there's no family get-togethers! LOL! I think we have two dishes? I'll check it out. You don't even notice them actually. Ours had to be placed in our landscaping because of all the trees here. They couldn't get a signal.

Susan ~ Current catalog is my best friend!;-) For all the kid parties lately, I have my kids stamp a b-day card. They have fun doing it.

Nicole ~ You will burn major calories keeping up with Marietta! Glad you got a great workout on your bike! You like challenges don't you?!

ETA: Nicole, my dh is the Windex master! ha ha! My FIL hides it from him when he comes over. LOL! He doesn't use it to cure things though! :p

Diane Sue ~ How did I miss your post about Cancun? Have fun! When are you leaving? I'll have to go check yesterday's check-in. What's this about soup?:9

Marietta ~ I think you'd like that Patrick Goudeau's step. I could do without the commercials, however. I wonder if they are going to sell these All Star Workouts?

Have a great day everyone! I hope i didn't forget anyone. I hate when I do that.

Dallas

ETA: You guys had me laughing in the shower. "It's a bund-'t'!!!" That part was so darn funny in the movie. That movie also had me nervous to convert. I thought, heck no am I wearing my bathing suit in church. I didn't have to though, whew!
 
Hi Ladies-

I didn't have time to read this thread (just the parts to me). It's been crazy here. I'm not trying to ignore you ladies.

I just wanted to mention this. Paypal states their is a scam going on right now and you should never open a link in an email from a company that sends you an email because that's the way hackers get your bank info. I don't know if that's what happened to me, but just wanted to let everyone know to never do that.

Also, re: my husband -- he is a control freak with a bad temper and I've never seen him as bad as he was! I know deep down inside he is a good person......but I hate when he treats me like this. He went to the bank this morning and took care of everything. Our check book looks okay, but we didn't have anything in there but today there's money in there. My husband told me I don't have to quit E-bay this time, but if it EVER happens again, that's it -- I'm done and then he told me he needs to sit down and tell me what I'm going to start doing differently (oh boy........this ought to be a fun weekend).

Thanks for all of the well wishing .
 
Lora-I wish you luck with this weekend with Your crabby DH :) Stand your ground!
Dallas-Thanks for the info on patrick's workout. I think I am going to go try it later and I can fast forward through commercials. I am glad your foot is doing better. I know missing cardio makes me crabby too! Oh and I got your e-mail and I appreciate the info :)

How are the rest of you?

Terri

ETA-Sabrina good idea on not putting MIL on schedule. Let us know how that goes. It's her own fault if she gets mad.
 
Lora-I wish you luck too with your DH.

Terri-I will let you know how it goes with my MIL. I believe I will get my February schedule tomorrow. I still know I am in for it when she finds out. I'll tell you what though I am ready to tell her what I think. I keep biting my tongue because of DH. Thanks for the good vibes for tomorrow too.

Dallas-So far Dh and I are planning to drive to Chicago the 23rd and spending the night somewhere near Joe's and then doing a little shopping the 24th. Know of a good hotel near Joe's or where I can get in some good shopping? LOL! I hope your foot is doing better. Don't overdo over the weekend.

I hope to get on the treadmill later or something. I will let you ladies know what I end up doing. Since I will be in the office tomorrow all by myself maybe I can get some kind of workout in. LOL! There are stairs that I could go and down on. I'll have to think of some other things. ;-)

Have a great weekend!
 
Sabrina ~ good luck tomorrow! The odds are in your favor!

Terri ~ Let us know what you think of that workout. I looked in the Collage catalog and he has a step workout, but it doesn't say "Staff favorite" by it. I wonder if it's the same workout on FitTV?

Susan ~ A date night! Woo hoo! Here you just said you never get out just the two of you. Does your mom and sister live close? Have fun!

Lora ~ Let me understand, if we just open an e-mail "they" can get our info? Really? I usually delete stuff anyway if I don't know who it is.

Nicole ~ I think I remember that you liked Bo Bice from American Idol? His new CD is great! I've been cleaning and de-cluttering today and have had his CD on, but it doesn't seem long enough! ha ha!

I guess Marietta and Diane Sue are really busy today.

TTFN! :)

Dallas
 
Good afternoon
Today I woke up late. But I got in 5.25 mile treadmill run with hills, then did P90X Legs and Back. I thought I was going to come back home and do some other leg work, but I upped some of the lower body weights and used them where ever possible. I can feel my glutes and hamstrings already this afternoon. I had to leave to get my granddaughter and go by the travel agents to pay for our trip. Yes, you can be sure I am looking forwards to this. It will be a nice fun break. DH and I will have a whole week of alone time that I wont have to share with the rest of the family:) I was in such a hurry I only had time for a protein shake so did not make the spinach scramble that was for breakfast today in the P90X plan. I did manage lunch and had the coleslaw and gazpacho already prepared.

Lora, I am sorry you have had problems with hackers. I am glad it got straightened out. I hope your dh is not to hard on you. These things can happen to anyone. I am enjoying the P90X rotation. I think the added cardio is something I just have to do. I know they say you can add on CardioX to any of the other routines. It loosens everything up for me. I tend to be a very tense person.

Nicole and Dallas the soup recipes I have been making are from the P90X nutrition plan. So far I have liked the recipes in this book. I am not quite as fond of the cold soups though.

HI to everyone,
Diane Sue
