Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Thurs Jan 25

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Cardio Coach 6 with Sean on the Bike & Treadmill. I did my w/u and recovery periods on the treadmill and challenges on the bike. I wanted to use the Ellipitcal, but when I got on it for the first challenge, it would not work. Great!! That's the only machine that doesn't bother my sciatica. So I ended up on the 2 machines that flare my problem. Since I had everything set up down there, I didn't want to come back upstairs since my DH was up there. Now I can't use my cardio machines for another month until he finishes P90X. Cardio was 68 minutes and I burned 437 calories. I don't know if I got my HR high enough. I have to check my zones next time beforehand, so I make sure I reach my max percentage. I'm not sure if I got high enough today.

I also did Bryan Kest's Origninal Power Yoga - Intensive Body Sculpting. Wow, this was a toughie. He spends an entirely long time on one side of the body before switching sides! Not sure I need the body sculpting effect today since I just did a good weight workout yesterday, but I really liked the pose selection in this one the best...so I wanted to do it. I added pigeon, resting pigeon, plough, shoulderstand and a few twists before I quit. I'm beginning to get addicted to plough pose and shoulder stand. They make my upper back feel good.

Charlotte - do you do plough and shoulderstand in P90X yoga and if so, can you get your feet on the floor behind your head in plough pose yet? If so, doesn't it feel good stretching your back?

Diane Sue - Sorry to hear the news about the house....but maybe it wasn't meant to be and you wouldn't have been happy there. I hope you didn't pack too much! My DH and I had a similar thing happen to us about 8 years ago. We had our house on the market and had a bid in on a brand new, laid-out home with a jacuzzi bathroom in the master bedroom with a walkin closet (what I've always wanted) and we ended up staying here cuz of what happened....but at least we still aren't paying for the house we live in anymore....so I guess it's a good thing. We would have been in a lot of debt with the other house. I hope you're not too bummed out.

Have great workouts ladies - I have to go to the hospital for my typing test again and then to the grocery store and back to the dentist...cuz I forgot to pick something up there yesterday and it's freezing here. Only a high of 20 today and snow! I hate this weather.
 
Good Morning, today's workout will be P90X legs, abs and cardio. Then maybe I can do some house cleaning:)

Suz, I hope that stuff from the vet works for you. Yes, I think maybe we were meant to stay here. It would have been more convenient to be closer to the grandchildren's schools but we have everything we need here.

Lora, it sounds like you got in a good calorie burn this morning. Yes, I think things tend to work themselves out. We had a jacuzzi tub in one house we owned but I didn't use it much because I still had youg children and they do not leave to much leisure time to relax:)

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Today I am doing Kenpo and cleaning.

Lora,

Yes, I can get into plough and get my toes to touch the floor behind my head. I actually love being in that position. As a little girl and teen, I use to do plough all the time. My grandfather would get mad at me because one time it was late out and I was doing that by the window and he didn't want someone thinking there was wild sex going on in the house..with my legs up in the air! lol. BTW, it is very cold here too. Winter is finially here.

Diane Sue,

Have fun with your workouts and cleaning too. ;) Have you sold your house yet? We are still trying. We dropped our price down just a bit too.

Charlotte~~
 
Also, re: that job......Just what is schmoozing and treating someone with "kid gloves".....cuz that's the only other thing they told me I did wrong besides stating that the Law Environment didn't agree with me (or something to that nature). They said they had a problem with Client Contact (the phone calls I took). I'm very professional and I simply was professional and concise on the phone. I don't know these people ....what the heck was I supposed to do, ask them how the wife and kids were? WTF???? Okay, sorry....it's just bothering me.
 
Finally here. I got to sleep in a little bit today. I have't ventured out yet to start the car, but it is frigid today!
Still have some nice DOMS! Abs too. So, not sure on the WO. I think I am going to go for some light cardio. I guess that means TM walk? I gotta do something. UB is out I think LOL! I might try more abs too, yoga, pilates. I will find something.

DS- I hope you aren't too bummed about the house. Atleast you have no packing to do now! And it will nice not to have strangers in your home anymore. Have a good day.

Char- tomorrow is supposed to be the coldest day here in two years. Winter is surely here. Have a good WO.

Lora- good WO. I hope your eliptical is alright. That is a weird statement "kid gloves" WTF?????

Charlotte- I FINALLY got a C&S for my Lupercalia/Carnivale order. Sara (customer service) usually sends my packages out sort of soon....and if I email her and ask her about the status of my order and it's held up due to an oil not being ready, she ships the package with the oils missing (since I always have at least 2 I do around the same day). I had spoken to her over the weekend and she told me she'd get it out on Monday. So I emailed them a few times on Tues and Wed...cuz I got no C&S and finally someone answered me last night and said Sara was out of the office. So I explained the situation to them (don't care......need my BPAL and not happy about my current situation!!!...so I"m really wanting it badly). So a C&S appeared in my box this AM!!! YAY.....I hope I wasn't too demanding! I hope it gets here Sat and NOT Monday!
 
Lora,

You know I love getting stuff in the mail too and my patience...well..don't have any really. lol. Let me know how that stuff smells. Curious. I didn't order any of the new stuff except for the inquistion. Not even the lunar this time. I got two tal's on the way and some imps. Are you gonna try some of the love/beauty/lust tal's? Have you even tried Cleo May?

About the job, you are who you are, and you do your best wherever you go. If people don't like you or how you do something then so what! Think of it as their loss, not yours. You will find something better. I will tell you to have patience, but again, I don't ever have any! he he

Meg,

I can only focus on one post at a time here this morning for some reason. lol. I think tonight it is suppose to go down to 16 degrees. EEK! Just be sure whatever you do to not be too hard on those ankles. Kenpo will be fun today. Talk to ya later.

Charlotte~~
 
Diane Sue - If my legs are pretty sore today from the combo of the heavier weights I used yesterday in MM lower, the Intensive Yoga I did this morning, would I be better off doing Better Burn Better Buns tomorrow or Lying Leg Work and maybe some Gliding? Also, if I had time to add onto BBBB, would that be good to add some good lying leg work? If so, what's a good (shorter Cathe one). I know Pyramid Lower has one cuz I added it on before. Thanks for always answering my questions.
 
Hey Maniacs! I've got to talk more poop talk today.LOL! My dog had me up again last night with Diarrhea, again! This time wasn't as bad as last time. She got me up about 3 times. I'm going to go to the vets today and get her some different food. I've never had a dog with this problem. It's frustrating. BUT, not near as bad as the poop eating thing. LOL!

Anyway, today is a circuit workout. I'll do that later today. It's still very cold here. 7 degrees! Should get up to 27 degrees later. Whooped-d-doo.

Lora- About the comment- schmoozing and treating someone with "kid gloves"..... Were they saying that's what you did or that's what they had to do with you? Seems kind of a tacky way to get rid of someone either way. I would think "kid gloves" would mean "tip toeing" around someone. "schomoozing" to me would be like "brown nosing". Anyway, that's what people do all day long in ALL businesses, so it was a stupid thing to say to you. Just forget that job and look foward.:)

Meg-Have a good workout whatever you do.:)

Diane Sue- To bad about the house. I can't believe people were using your pool table! They probably got in your fridge and used your bathroom too!

Char-That's funny about your grandpa worrying about you doing plough by the window. Reminds me of the lamp in "Christmas Story". You know, when the neighbors are all lined up looking at it and the wife is panicking. LOL!

Gotta go...tea whistling

No poop so far for me to discuss...how about vomit? Cat vomit. DD stepped in some this morning. Cat hurled all over her purse and hairclip...ooh la la..busy cleaning that up as well. Then Ms. Pudd goes for my dried flowers. I yelled out to her and she flew off the table. lol. Knows better. Gee whiz. Adventuruos vomit day so far.

Mornin'!

You guys are too funny! This morning I did CC#5. I love that workout. Couldn't bring myself to do CC#4 b/c it's harder. :) I know I'm supposed to be doing P90X recovery week but I still feel like I need more cardio this week before going back to P90X next week. I certainly feel like I've lost cardio capacity. Oh well, I'll get it back as soon as I'm finished with P90X. I might have to start adding in a little extra as I near the end of P90X since cyling season is approaching. But with my newfound self not feeling the need to keep up with all my crazy cycling friends, maybe it won't be as important? I'm going to hopefully start riding with this gal who is the team doctor for the Jelly Belly team in Laramie, WY and she has a heart condition so she can't get her HR over a certain level and she therefore can't ride over something like 12mph. Last year she wanted to ride together but our group went too fast. She's REALLY nice and this year I'm gonna see if she'd like to ride on those looooong rides with me. Should be fun.

I think it's funny how we all went from butts to poop. Same general area. We blocked Amber out of the dog run last night, so no 3am snack. But this morning when I let her out in the back yard she came in licking her chops. Eeeeewwwww!!! I'm gonna e-mail Cesar Millan! He's my hero!

Off to work on that project again.

AMBER - WHERE ARE YOU??? I had a thought. I can send you copies of those forms if you need them for P90X. I think you can download them too though from their website. I can go look to see where they are if you want. Or I can just send them to you. I can fax them to you tomorrow for immediate use and then drop copies in the mail for more clear copies. Just let me know. If so, just e-mail me your address again and your fax number, k?

Dallys - no, they said that I didn't schmooze enough or treat the Clients with kid gloves. That's what they wanted. I'm very professional and to the point on the phone, but I'm pleasant. So maybe there is something wrong with me if everyone does that in ALL businesses?

I just got home from taking my typing test at the hospital and doing the grocery shopping. It's wicked cold and nasty snowing out there. I only typed 71 WPM on my test. I almost wasn't able to take it again cuz the software wouldn't work again, but she called another campus and they let me do it the "old fashioned way". I was allowed 2 more tries....but the most you need to type for any job in the hospital is 70...so I guess it's cool ....even though I can type faster when I'm not nervous.
 
Bionics,

I will email you my favorite list of bpal oils. I am so busy right now. Please if you find my head, roll it back to me. I am running into things.

Charlotte~~
 
Geez - nobody around again today. I guess I'll have to go do some more yoga here pretty soon. Nothing to read.

Deb & Meg - What do you think of GH these days? I'm so sick of Elizabeth and Lucky and Elizabeth and Jason. If she ends up with Jason, I think I'll have to quit watching. I'm finally starting to accept Carly and like her......I had a hard time getting over the loss of the Carly they had (not the one that they canned in a month) but the other one...Tamara or whatever her name was. I'm sick of Alcazar and Skye too!! Never sick of Jason though!! LOL.

ETA: Forgot -- this darned stress is wreaking havoc on my body. I just started again and I'm 9 days early again. It has to be due to the stress of what I just went thru!
 
Just finished Kenpo. Not sure what I am gonna do tomorrow. I have to get groceries too. Maybe plyo x and coremax 2? Sounds good. Settled. ;-)

Time to make din din. What to have? What to have?

Charlotte~~
 
Meg - can't remember if I answered your question about Amy's Hi/Lo and Kickbox. Yes, I like them very much. Her kickbox is more hi/lo kickbox than regular kickbox. I sort of like it that way, as it gets your HR up higher. Also, Hi/Lo Extreme got my HR up the highest it's been in a long time.
 
Got my workout in. Did a circuit workout plus abs.
