Good morning Ladies -

This morning I did Pam Cosmi's Cardiosculpt. I overslept again so I only had time to do 50 minutes of it. I didn't really have a good workout cuz my band I used wasn't hard enough for me and my other heavier resitance bands are Beachbody and have the hard handles and I couldn't figure out how to make them work with the way she uses them. Also, I don't know if my mind was really on my workout after the news I got from the doctor last night.

I found out I have nasal polyps and might need surgery. I have to have a CT scan in a week to see the extent of the polyps and go from there. He also told me that polyps usually recurr unless you get to the root of the problem -- so I may need to go to an allergist to get desensitized. I told him that I was told my allergies are very mild and nothing to worry about and he said that's not what he's looking at. I'm really upset cuz I never thought I'd hear this. I thought I'd get a prescription and be okay.

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Morning Ladies!

Lora-I am so sorry that you might have to have surgery. Good luck with the CT scan too. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best.

I have a meeting at noon for work that I have to go to. Plus I have other things I have to do today that I didn't get done yesterday. Bills to pay, etc.

I was so mad last night since I didn't get to see The Biggest Loser. They had a basketball game on here instead of the show. UGH!!! I hate that!! I was all ready to see the show. Did anyone watch it? I have to know who won being so close to Peoria. In fact I have a class there tomorrow. lol

I have to get the boys ready for school. Have a great day everyone! I will be back later.
 
Good Morning!!

This morning I did HSC...I was supposed to do the first half of MIC, but I hate hi/lo and since I'm going to run at lunch today, I skipped it.

Today is probably going to be a kind of hectic day for me. I've got some meetings scheduled and some other things that I've got to get done before my co-worker goes on vacation for a week. It's all good though because I like being busy.

Lora - Sorry about your nasal problems. Are you saying that if you have surgery, you may have to have it again in the future unless like you said, you find the source of the problem? Hopefully that will happen...keep up posted.

Sabrina - No I didn't get to see the biggest loser last night...I know how much you were looking forward to seeing it...bummer that after all that you didn't get to see it!! Someone around here probably saw it. Maybe you can start a thread if you haven't already. Have a great day taking care of business...gotta do it!

Hi everyone that follows...I'll be back later.

Morning Everyone!

I have no workout to report. I was up, but unfortunately my son started with the stomach flu last night. My poor baby! My other son woke up and said my tummy doesn't feel good. Never fear - I have the buckets ready! ;-) I'm hopeful that when my dh gets home to get in at least an hour workout. The treadmill or a SS DVD. I'll just have to see how it's going here later.

Lora ~ My sil had to have surgery for polyps.I remember a time when she had constant sinus infections. She also had a deviated septum. I think that is what it's called. She also went thru extensive testing for allergies.

Sabrina ~ The Peoria family won. They were just on the Today show. The parents looked awesome. Did you see the e-mail I sent?

Marietta ~ Is today your Friday? How did your dance class go last night? I like being busy too, especially when I used to work. The day goes by much faster.

Nicole ~ I'll keep the boys away from the computer! ;-)

Terri ~ My workouts are still averaging 90 minutes. It goes by so fast though, doesn't it?!

Diane Sue ~ Thank you for the info on Venus. I get the catalog, but never have ordered. Have fun shopping for you trip!

Susan ~ Are you home yet?

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Ladies,

This week is sure flying by. Not that I am complaining! Tonight my son and his gf will be coming over at her radiarion treatment and we are going to go see my dad for a bit. Ashley is on day 3 of treatments and is doing fine. It must be hard though to go 5 times a week for 5 weeks. Today is HSC and first half of MIC. Marietta I like hi lo :) In fact it will be a nice break from all the intervals we have been doing. Although MIC hi lo can be tough!

Last night I did FIU instead of MIU and boy do I feel my legs and butt today!

Lora-Try not to worry too much. Try to focus on positives. Hard to do I know.
Sabrina-I didn't watch biggest :eek:ser so I can't help you :(
Marietta-ARe you taking a rest day sunday? I am planning on a run that day
Diane Sue-Don't you just hate when VS is out of what you want and so early!
I will check back later

Terri
 
Awwww Dallas...sorry about your son. He just can't win with the sickness can he? Poor baby...Hope you DH comes home and gives you relief...Ha! Maniacs call working out relief...go figure!! Actually today is NOT my Friday. I have to work tomorrow...bummer! Practice went pretty good. A couple of the girls called at the last minute to tell me they couldn't make it and I wasn't very happy about that. But those that came learned the new parts and now we are over half done. The bad part is that I'll have to bring the others up to speed and that will take away precious time...it's all good..I know it's just a test of my patience.

Sabrina - Looks like your family won! Now you just have to figure out a way to see the re-run. I'm sure you still wanna see don't you?

Terri - I was thinking about whether or not I was going to take a rest day or not. I know I should...but I'll see. I usually do my long runs on Sunday. But really it probably wouldn't hurt me to skip a week.

I'll bet Susan is home, but I'm sure she can't get to the computer yet....probably doesn't feel like it. C-sections have that affect on you.

Oh well...went to workout early because of all the meetings that I have today. I ran 3.5 miles and did some chest work.

I'll check back in on you guys later...

Good afternoon.
This is abusy day for me. I got up and did Cardio Coach#5 and got in 6 miles on the treadmill. I took my bunny to the vet and left him there. I will pick him up this afternoon after I pick up the rest of the grandhildren from school. When I got back I did P90X yoga then ran and got my granddaughter from kindergarten. Somewhere in there I did some laundry, called the travel agent about trip insurance, and found time to eat:)

Lora, I am sorry you might have to have surgury. I hope you get to the bottom of the problem quickly.

Hi to everyone,

Hey Everyone,
Well today I rode my airdyne for a hour:eek: I was reading a good book and I did not want to put it down. Since I was at the end haha. Then I went and did my TLT edurance workout ( That one is turning into my favorite:D) I feel really good when I working out when I ride my bike first. I seem to have more energy?? What with that??

Sabrina I did not get biggest loser either x(

Dallas I KNOW what your are going through!! I hope you get it out of your house!! keep the lysol wipe handy;-) Oh and thanks for keeping the boys away you know I do not want that back in the house:7 Btw I got my rack and Target..It is the reebok one, and I got it on sale for 25.50. It is small and compact, and it holds ALL my dummbells 2-20 lbs.

Marietta I do not like the high low in Mic either:7

Terri I am doing Firm it up tomorrow!! I can't wait!! I love doing that one with my jolies:D Oh and I LoVe those kicks, and squats!! I am happy to hear Ashely is doing well. I will keep her is my prayers

Lora sorry about your sinuss!! I hope you don't have to have surgery!!
Hey Diane Sue:D

Well I got to hustle gotta get the boys out of school and take to dentist~~

~Nicole
 
Hi Everyone!

Things are going well here. My ds loves that he got to stay in his jammies instead of going to school. He seems to be in better spirits. I think my other ds3 was just imitating his big brother. I hope!! I wish I could say the laundry situation was going well!x(

Thanks Nicole for the info about your rack. Oops, I just re-read what I wrote. lol!:7 :+ I haven't tried EFM yet, but I did like SIM.

Terri ~ That has to be hard for Ashley five treatments in a row. :-( I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Marietta ~ I know aren't we sick?! lol I can't wait to get to the workout room this afternoon. I'm really looking forward to running again since my foot feels better.

Diane Sue ~ You are making me tired with all that you've done already! ;-)

I'll check back later!

Dallas
 
Hey guys...one last checkin for the day.

Diane Sue - You had a great workout...I have to look into those cardio coaches. I say that about everything don't I....I think my intentions are good. I think I may be scared I won't like the music though.

Nicole - Nice to know I'm not alone about not liking MIC hi/lo. I can deal with the hi/lo on Circuit Max...probably because it's a lot shorter and for only 2 cycles.

Terri - I'm glad Ashley is feeling good enough to be doing things and hanging out with you guys...I'm sure that helps to keep her mind at ease. Tell her we are thinking about her and praying for her.

Dallas - Glad your baby is feeling better...hope you have/had a great workout!!

I'll be at work tomorrow which means I'll definitely be checkin in...

TTFN...

Evening ladies

Terri-I am glad Ashley is doing well with her treatments.

Dallas-I am glad your baby is doing better too. I hope no one else gets it. My DS3 has a nasty cough and runny/stopped up nose. Things are going around.

Diane Sue-Great workout!

Marietta-I hope there is a repeat of the show too. I would love to see the end results. I did check out the website and they looked good.

Nicole-LOL! I had to laugh at you reading while you are working out. I try to do that sometimes on the treadmill but it is not easy while running. ;-)

I went to tan this evening. I know bad girl but I did it anyway. ;-) I have a Gala event for work on the 18th and I need some color. I went for a whole 2 minutes in the stand up bed. lol

Who is watching Survivor tonight?? I AM!! I AM!! Then CSI and then Without a Trace. Some great TV on tonight. I cannot wait.

I was practicing walking in some high heels that I am wearing to the Gala with my dress this afternoon and I decided to try some squats in them. Holy cow did I feel them! You ladies should try it. :D

Sorry I am rambling on tonight. I will check in later! :7
 
I can see it now...SQUATS IN HEELS!! The fitness craze for 2006!! Brought to you by non-other than SABRINA!!!

LOL...I wish I was a fly on the wall while you were doing those!!

But those heels do make you legs look good don't they??!!

I know I'm supposed to be gone...bye!!

This is a late check in.
Sabrina, do those squats in heels, lean back a little and maybe you sort of have a sissy squat: What is it w/ P90X and the Yoga. My hamstrings are sore as well as my glutes. Tomorrow is a lower body day. I always think at the start of the week that I need to up the lower work here so I don't lose anything but then I am so sore. I would sort of like to think it is a delayed reaction to putting my all into the Plyometrics. Still I think it is the yoga. It starts soon after I finish. I know this is a workout I am not accustomed too. Any thoughts here? I want good leg definition. I always felt that did not come from yoga. I always lean toward leg work w/ weight. Just a good addition to the mix maybe? Ok I know I am rambling.

Diane Sue,
