Hi Ladies -

This morning I overslept again. The doctor changed all of my meds for my sinuses and I haven't been able to fall asleep at night for a week or so, thus I'm not getting out of bed early enough for my workouts.

I only had time to do 45 minutes of aerobics. I was supposed to do abs also, but had to get in the shower. I did Power 90 Masters Sweat 5/6. I played my own music and it was fun. I wanted to actually do an hour of aerobics. Oh well, there's always next time.

Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check back later.

Charlotte - are you psyched for the concert tonight? I wish I was going again!! Have fun.

I just bought a bunch of yoga DVDs with my Ebay money. Now I just have to find the time to do them and more money to replace what I've spent!!
 
Good Morning Everyone!!!

Lora,

Yes, I am really fired up for the concert! I am going to "let my hair down" there...WOO HOO!!! LOL! Sorry to hear your sleep is all messed up from the meds...too much sleep or not enough makes it tough for workouts so I hope things resume to normal for you soon! Sending good vibes your way!

Well yesterday I worked out to Tri's and Bi's (slow/heavy series), 400 crunches, more airborne jumping jacks (now my calve muscle is so sore I can hardly walk) LOL, but not really! I also did 3 sets of the BBM workout without weights this time, worked chest/back and shoulders on my own using some workouts from the Oxygen magazine.
Today I am resting until the concert!!! LOL! Wednesday I want to run for at least 1 hour.

Take care everyone and have a great workout!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Morining,
Today I planning on riding my airdyne 30-40min., TLT SIM and 2 or 3 sets of BBM workouts :D

Charlotte GREAT workout yesterday!! Have a wonderful time tonight!!

Lora sorry to hear you did'nt sleep well last night!! Hopefully tonight you will:D

Sabrina you took some great pictures!! Man you were close!!:7

Diane Sue german chocolate cake sounds so GOOD..... was always my brothers birthday cake to! Give Bill a big ((HUG)) and B-day kiss from us all!!:D

Susan I found my gloves at Champs. ( a store at the mall) The gloves were 1 size fits all??? They velcro on and I put it pretty tight I may add more velcro, but all in all they worked pretty good. The wt in on the top of my hand, and then there is a place for my thumb, index and middle finger for the glove part, and it velcros on.They cost me 15.00 something.

Lisa Congrats!! I know this is a busy time for you!! Great to see you are still getting your workouts in!!

Dallas and Terri, Susan today I am going to focus on one of my drawers!! Junk drawers seem to be growing }(

Well gotta go!! Will be back later!!

~Nicole
 
My boss is out ....so I thought I'd check in.

Thanks for the well wishes with the sleeping. I guess I shouldn't even complain cuz I never get 3-4 hours during a work week and more than 5-6 on the weekends! I'm sleep deprived....but that's the only way I can ever get tired. I'm like the freakin' energizer bunny!

Charlotte - I want to come with you ..... :( That concert really has me craving more. Do you have ShineDown's first CD? I listened to it yesterday doing aerobics. It is SO good. I like the first one better than the 2nd one.
 
Morning Ladies!

Lora-I wish I could do as much as you on so little sleep. I wake up a lot during the night. Most of the time I am tired because it feels like I get almost no sleep. I think you are the energizer bunny! lol

Charlotte-Have a great time at the concert!

Nicole-Looks like you have a good workout planned. Yes, I was really really close. I was hugging the stage. Did you read what I wrote in the thread I started? LOL

I have to go pay some bills today and go to the store for a few things until I do the big day of shopping. lol

I never got my workout in yesterday. Too much going on here. I hope to get one in later. I feel like a slacker lately.

I will be back later!
 
Hello Ladies,

Today I am going to run again and do another SS wrokout. I really like getting one done everyday again. I also blan to do chest ad tri's.

Yesterday when Dave and Ashley came up for her treatment they brought her Dog (well his too I guess) up with them. They came by so I could watch her. She is so cute and I always love to spend time with her, She gtes along well with my dog and is so affectionate! They treat her like a baby though and she is sooo spoiled but in a good way :) Anyway I am a dog lover so this was a nice surprise for me!

Marieatta-I will jump in on the feb rotation tomorrow if March rotation isn't apealing to me. I think I can do a couple workouts a day and catch up tp you.:)

Dallas-How is the fooot doing with walking? I feel bad for yu and hope you can get back to running. I also feel bad for cathe and her injury. She must feel so frustrated as well especially when she is probably stressed about the workouts. I wish you both speedy recoveries.

Lora-I don't require a lot of sleep either. I am a vaery hyper person but I do like more then 3-4. I do great on 6.

Nicole-I will join you in cleeaing out some junk drwers. I swear how does one person get so much junk? :)

Susan-Sounds like you did great with your workout yesterday!

Sabrina-I admire your positive attitude with your job! You just know that sooner or later you will have a client! It's in the cards for you soon.

Lisa-So COngrats on the job! Where will you be moving to?

Diane Sue-I am so excite for you that soon you and Bill will be together again! I know you probably mentioned but how long will he be on leave?

Charlote-Have fun tonight!

Terri
 
Good Morning All!

Today is my pilates day. I thought I'd give the treadmill a rest.lol I don't want to overdo it. I'll get to the gym an hour early and do the elliptical. I was going to do the other half of PUB, but I still have DOMS. WTH(eck)?

Terri ~ I had tears in my eyes when I read Cathe's post. She has to be completely frustrated! That's probably an understatement. Thank you! My foot is getting there. I go see the doc again next week. Last appointment she mentioned ultrasounds, MRI's, etc. Hopefully it won't come to that though.

Lora ~ I go through spurts when my sleep gets off kilter. I have no idea why. I'm like Terri, if I can get 6 straight hours I'm good to go. I hope you sleep well tonight! :)

Nicole ~ I've been working on my laundry room and the cabinets in there. Hey, that room should be the cleanest, since I live in there! :+ I like your Clean Max rotation idea! Please post. lol!:7

Sabrina ~ Have you recovered from your concert. lol

Lisa ~ Good luck with the move! Congrats on getting the job!!! We'll be here when you want to check in again! I don't feel like such a "maniac" these days either. :)

Marietta ~ You must be busy? Hope everythiing is OK?

Charlotte ~ I thought the concert was last night...oops! Have fun!

Diane Sue ~ German choc is my dh's very favorite? Is that hard to make? Maybe I could get the recipe from you (when you have time)? I have a month before it's his b-day.

Susan ~ Thanks for your kind words about the church situation. This is my first Easter as an Orthodox. I converted last year. I hate to think we have to change churches. How are the boys?

Hi kel402 and Jessica! Are you still out there?

Have to do my monthly Sam's run and get shorts and sandals for the boys. I'll try and check back....

Dallas
 
Hey Guys...

I am crazy busy at work today...guess that's what I get for taking off yesterday...no regrets though...I needed yesterday off!!

This morning I was supposed to do Muscle Max, but I have something going on at lunch today and wouldn't get in cardio so I did the following which is still from the Feb 06 rotation (somewhat).

IMAX3 - Warm-up and intervals 1-3
Kick Max - Blast Challenge (Ran in place after that and cooled down)
Shoulder strength workout

Later this afternoon, I want to do the elliptical and then 3 sets of BBM. However, I may do one set of BBM, the Extended Low Max yesterday gave me some DOMS.

Lora - I think that I have to get at least 6 hours of sleep and I usually get that. Sounds like you had a great workout...just make the best of whatever time you have...that's all you can do.

Terri - Yeah, I think you can catch up. It won't be hard at all...and we'll see what's on tap for March.

Dallas - enjoy your workout today. I haven't read about Cathe...doesn't sound good though. I guess that means another delay...I'm doing ok...thanks for checking.

Lisa - Congrats on your new job! Hope you get settled real soon so you can get back with us...

Charlotte - Have a blast at the concert...I know you will!!!

Diane Sue - Thanks for the Dell DJ information...I'll check it out and let you know what I decide.

Susan - What are you going to amaze me with today??

Sabrina - Hang in there girlfriend!! You're still hardcore in my book!!

Nicole - I think the fact that you have switched things is another reason you are seeing the results you are. It's all good...when you stop seeing results...it's time to try something else for a while. you do have me seriously considering getting a trainer thingy (I heard you can get them at bike shops) for my bike so I can ride it in my workout room. I'd like to try some spinning on it....what do you think about that??

Well I gotta go...but I'll try to check back in later...

Thanks Marietta!! You are so sweet! You always get in awesome workouts too. Maybe I should come for a visit and you can whip my butt into shape! LOL!

Dallas-Glad your foot is doing better.

Terri-Is Ashley still doing ok with her treatments? That is nice that you got to dog sit. lol I figure sooner or later that a client will have to come in while I am on duty, they cannot avoid me forever! lol

I went to get some groceries that I need for this evening and I picked up a couple things on sale but I need to get to the supercenter to really get some shopping done. My youngest, Ethan-3 until March 19, decided he was going to throw a fit all through the store. I think that takes more out of me than anything. He was crying and being loud about it the whole time. UGH! I came home and didn't finish the things I had to get done. x(

I will be back later!
 
Marietta I think you may like a it??? Also I know in the past a few people will put in Cathe Imax or one of her interval workouts, and ride the bike fast during the intervals and than steady etc..... I don't really do that yet}( But I am working up to it..........thinking about it haha. I really like putting on my ear plugs and putting a book on tape. Keep me posted on what you are going to do??.

Hey tomorrow I am going to do lowmax......What is a good premix to do. I have only done the 1-5 premix??? Any recommendations???

Sabrina do you want to join me in the 1 set of BBM workouts haha. It seems thats all I can do. Last week I was gung ho, but I get bored doing all those sets (need a dvd or somthin)........ seems I am a 1 set girl:-( I think 1 set is better than nothing....right???

I am going to try a new recipe for onion soup today!!I can't wait to see how it turns out???

Dallas you sound more like a cleany to me :7 Please post me your rotation!!

Terri I will try and find a picture of Mr. Jingles on this computer somewhere and send you one....Btw I think your dog it cute to. My parents have a bull dog... He is sooooooo ugly that he is sooooooo cute. I refer to him as my brother, and my kids call him Uncle Bruiser:7

HELLO!

Today I did HC-HSC. Oh my! I’m SO out of shape. I did it (modified most of the cardio) and I’m pooped!

I feel bad for Cathe. I can’t imagine the frustration she is facing now. I also wonder what the plans may be for the other workouts she was going to do this year.

Nicole, I plan on going through my closet (make that my half of closet since I have to share w/dh) and take out my maternity clothes and arrange my winter clothes.

Sabrina thanks for the reminder about paying bills!! Oh no. Isn’t tomorrow the first already? I know what you mean when you say when kids have fits it’s just draining.

Lisa, congratulations on getting the job! When will you be moving?

Marietta, are you following a Cathe rotation or did you make your own? I like to make specific goals per month and wasn’t sure what you’ve planned. Right now, I’m just taking it day by day, what I feel like I can do.

Dallas, the boys are doing very well. Thanks for asking. I honestly can’t believe how fast the days go.

Charlotte, I look forward to hearing about the concert tomorrow. Great workout yesterday.

Hi Terri and Diane Sue!

Susan
 
Susan-I forgot to answer you question about what kind of music Billy Currington sings and it is country. Sorry. He is definately a HOTTIE!!! I am glad your boys are doing well. Tomorrow is the first. It is hard to believe it will be March already! Dh's b-day is Sunday and the youngest turns 4 the 19th! Ugh, where did the time go???? My baby!! Waahhhh!


Nicole-I would love to join you in the BBM. That is what I am suppose to be doing but have only managed to do once. LOL! Maybe I can get the workout in this evening.

What are some great new workouts you ladies have bought lately? I have money to spend!! LOL!
 
HEY LADIES!

Sabrina ~ I know the feeling of the store tantrums. Today was a good one! Thank goodness! We just had one potential tantrum. My 3yo wanted to sit in the basket at Sam's...that just wasn't going to work. He listened to reason this time. :)

Nicole ~ I swear I'm only a clean freak because of my dh! He can clean a kitchen like no one else business! He even does laundry! I can't have him out do me, ya know. lol:7

Susan ~ HSC always gets me. That's your second Cathe workout postpartum, right? Woo hoo! Time does go by so quickly...what the heck is Madonna talking about? :p My kids love that song, btw.

Marietta ~ how's you day going? I have no idea why I'm in a good mood. It must be the sunnier & warmer weather. I'm about to go out with the kids right now. My pilates class is tonight. I can't wait to do the elliptical!

Terri ~ That's sweet you dog sat for your son.

Have a good night everyone!

Dallas
 
Hey Ladies, Just popped in to see how everyone is. It is 74 degrees here today! I am going outside and go do some errands. I was out earlier doing work appointments.

Great workout Susan!
Dallas-Glad to see you in such a great mood :)
Marieatta-I keeo checking for a march Rotation :)
Nicole -I still need to do my BBM workout :)

Ok hope everyone is having a great day!

Terri
 
hello guys!

Just checking in before I go home for the evening...

I did finally get my BBM workout in...I only did 2 sets today. I'm having a hard time with this because I get bored kinda easily. I'll try to stick with it though....some is better than nothing so my goal is to get at least one set in per day. I'm doing leg/glute work in other workouts so I think this will be fine.

It was very nice here, but I didn't get outside...I was too busy working. I wanted to walk to the bank but didn't get away.

Terri - I'm thinking that if there isn't a rotation out there by now that we won't see one. Cathe is probably to worried about her injury right now...we have plenty to choose from right now anyway.

I'm really sorry for Cathe...I just want her to heal and get 100% better before she tries to do the new workouts. I have no problem waiting and I've got plenty to hold me over in the meantime. I just can't wait to find out exactly what the problem is...

So...have a good night. I'm outta here!!
 
Good evening,
I will try to post this before my grandson arrives to stay the night. My daughter & her dh are going out because he leaves tomorrow and uis preparing to o to Afganistan. This morning I did P90X Plyometrics, and I Max2 intervals 1-5. I kept getting phone calls so had to finish this afternoon. I did 3 sets ea. BOwflex leg curls and extensions, GS legs calves and floorwork, A Core Max Balanced core, and stretch Max with the ball. I had to run some errands in between and have been trying to clean and get things ready for dh arrival. I broke one of the nails I had put on Sunday so now have to find time to get out and fix it.

Terri, dh will be on vacation for 4 weeks. One of those is travel time though. I am excited.

Dallas, I will get the german chocolate cake recipe to you. It is not hard. I have my pecans, coconut, and evaporated milk ready I always use real butter. The icig is cooked.

Charlotte have fun at the concert.

Lisa good luck with the move. I am happy to hear you got the job.

I have to run,

Hi to everyone else
