Morning Maniacs -

I'm off to do Speedbody (my last day - day 5) followed by Cardio Coach and either some yoga or stretching. I'll be back a bit later.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

yesterday no workout. In kitchen packing all day. My eating was off cuz I really didn't want to spend the time eating every 3 hours, etc. Shame on me, but just wanted to get done. Then dd wants me to go to SPCA meeting with her in evening so got ready for that. We got ready too early and so we went to the mexican restaurant and had some nacho's and salsa with a drink. The meeting was only with 8 people. Naturally when I went on scale this morning, it was up. What do I expect? lol. Today no packing. Have bug and water people coming to test our home. Gotta do my workout today and I got a list of other things to do. Hubby came home from Jersey last night all cranky. I think he should have stayed in motel instead. I'll get over it. Still fuming some.

Meg,

Nice to hear from ya. Was wondering..wth? You found a new planet to live on? lol

Anne,

Keep the jokes coming..funny.

Jen Jen,

LMAO..hardcore and sore, but we always want more! That is what I am saying!!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Morning ladies.... I had a bad w/o last night. I started rhythmec step. Did 40 min and i was fumbling on the step. My legs were too sore, so i vcalled it a night. Better than noting...

Char, i hate greasy nachos. I have to eat the baked. It is really strange. I just can't stand the greasy tast anymore. I had 2 cans of crisco in my cupbard that wer there so long ,they were bad.Looked like clear glue....Can you imagine what it does to your arteries???
ARGH....

Randi, is your sweet but going to the road trip??? Anyone Lisa???
She will probably kill us there, but i am going...if i can get a spot.

I think tonite will be BSB gym styles. I am still shying off the chest work some.I am doing shoulders and traps and pull ups. It feels wierd. Got an e-mail in to doc. The man probably thinks i am nuts...I just don't want to injure myself...Or be back in for surg...

My face is so itchy, i want to tear it off.. OMG. Nerves regenerating. I would do electric shock therapy if it would help stop it.

Well, bath and work time... Been buisy... Gotta slap on my sunless tanning lotion on the leggies...

Have a great day everyone.
Anne
 
Today I plan on trying out Amy Bento's KBX then the M&F rotation legs and calves. Loads to do as we are leaving town tonight. I have my grandchildren here all day too.

Anne, LOL on the electric shock therapy. 40 minutes is still a good workout. You did not miss too much of it.

Charlotte sounds like a busy day yesterday.

Char- a new planet would be splendid! I would send you all round trip tickets to come and visit. And up there, pizza does NOT make you gain weight!

DS- vacation? Have a great and safe trip.

Anne- my legs are like your face with the itchies! Every little cold snap we get drives me insane! But I am closer to a tan. Jergens stuff is great.

Lora- I had my sis listen to that BC CD and she liked too. Can;t wait to get in my car and listen to more of it in a few minutes. Thanks so much.

I plan on some cardio for sure, and hopefully LB.
Mon I did CC6 and it was awesome
Tues I did LIC UB and abs and yoga
I didn't get a WI in yesterday cuz I was way to busy and not home most of the day and night.

Feels good to do a normal check in!

I cannot believe how sore my legs are. Last night I could hardly move. I had to stretch out before I went to bed for fear of my muscles cramping up during the night. Unreal. Got up this morning and my hamstrings and calves are still really sore. I was actually going to take the day off and just rest, but tomorrow is my rest day because I deliver Avon.

So I did Cardio Coach #5, which is 50 minutes of brutal hill climbs and sprints. I love this workout, it is a tough one. With each stride I could feel my hamstrings and calves get tight, I was praying they wouldn't cramp up. Luckily they didn't. I did the stretch from Gym Style Legs which is my favorite leg stretch and it really helps loosen up tight muscles.

Workout was 1:09, was in my zone for 53 minutes and burned 369 calories. Travelled 3.75 miles.

Lora, thanks for the recap on GH yesterday.

Hope you all have a great workout today!
 
I'm back. I did Speedbody Full Body followed by Cardio Coach #1 on the Treadmill (1 hour 22 min - burned 510) and then I did Yoga Now - 30" followed by Yoga Bliss Hips - Quickie 30".

Thanks for the concern about Pandora everyone. I appreciate it.

Deb - sounds like you had great workouts yesterday and today! Good going on the Cardio Coach. I still struggle with the longer intervals on the Treadmill, as I'm still not really used to it for the impact, etc. No problem on GH!

Char - you eat like a Saint most of the time, don't sweat it! Speaking of scales, I weighed myself first thing in the morning (my usual time) and out of curiosity, weighed myself after my workout and downing tons of water and weighed 5 pounds more! Geez........"they" say if that happens to you, you could get hypernatremia (where you get fatal problems from drinking too much water), but I feel fine so screw "them".

Diane Sue - need your advice - I just did that 5 days in a row Speedbody, weight/aerobic/boxing circuit workout and tomorrow's my normal weight day.......do you think I'd be okay to do a normal weighted workout? However, I might just do Fluidity for my legs and weighted upper body. I'm not sure if that would be okay or not. Figured you would know.

Meg - I burned Blood Sugar, Californication & Stadium Arcadium (double CD this morning while I was doing yoga. I added another surprise also to cheer you up and help you get thru this rough spot in life! I ran out of CD's or I would have burned a few more.....probably would get in "trouble" with the DH if I buy them at the store today also. In the future, I can burn more. I'm so glad you are liking BC. I wasn't sure you would cuz they're a more Blues Based rock band like the Stones or Guns & Roses than they are heavy like Nickelback, Seether, etc. I tend to like both styles. The Chili Peppers are in their "own" category.....I think they are funk/rock and very unique....thus one of the reason I love them. Make sure you listen to Stadium Arcadiam several times before you judge it, as it has some slower stuff on it and needs to really be listened to before you start loving it. I think it won best rock album for them at the Grammy's this year. Love Storm in a Teacup, ReadyMade, She's Only Eighteen, Desicration Smile and more. If you want all of the tracks on the stuff I burned you, just go to Amazon.com and they list all of the tracks there. Blood Sugar is also in a category all of it's own. It is a classic and they also won grammie's for that CD also. Let me know what you think of Sir Psycho Sexy (my fave song). That's what put's the Chili Peppers in a category of their own - each of their albums is slightly different......not same ol' same ol. Wow ...that was long, I guess I should have PMed you. (ETA - by the way Stadium Arc is a double CD ...Mars & Jupiter....in case you get confused).
 
Meg - after you find your favorite songs on the CDs....dont' forget about Youtube.com. They have lots of good live videos from BC and RHCP's recent tours. When I'm working, I usually watch one before work every day while doing my neck stretches cuz they put me in a good mood...so I can face "work". LOL.
 
Hey guys,
Everyone is doing awesome with their workouts! Impressive. :)

I'm glad to see Meg back. Hope all is well with you.

I have a question for Lora or Charlotte....I ordered some oils last week. I ordered Blood Countess, Spellbound and Vasarralalalaja or whatever it is...Can't spell it for the life of me....I was wondering what they really smell like because the description seems a little vague. Do they smell feminine, sexy, bitter, sour, etc? Thanks!

Take care everyone. :)


Lisa
 
Lisa - Vasa and Svada (spelling....yikes) are 2 of my fave's from the V-day scents. They are both REALLY nice. I don't know how you'd classify them. Maybe slightly sexy not bitter or sour........but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Blood Countess is one of my fave's of the general catalog -- it has gardenia in it, right? I get a lot of compliments on it. It's sort of tart and sort of sweet and sort of slightly flowery (gardenia). I would probably call it sexy/feminine, but very unique (which most of Beth's oils are). Spellbound is one I never really fell in love with. I'm a rose hater, but I love red musk......so if you like rose, you should love Spellbound. It's not "in your face" rose and all flowery, but it's sexy, grown up rose with an edge. I never realized how much I adored red musk until I started buying Beth's. Mme. Moriarty and Smut also have red musk and are 2 of my fave's. Enjoy and do pop by to let me know how you like them when you get them. I'm excited for you!

Meg - of course you know that those CDs are mostly not for children's ears?? Just thought I'd mention it.....but I figured you would know cuz of Crazy B!! LOL. ENJOY!! You'll be wearing your headphones around the house!! Good way to tune the DH out too!!

(Gah...........3 posts in a row!!! Yikes )) Where are all the maniacs? Working out too hard?
 
Lisa,

You can smell wine scent in Blood Countess. It is intoxicating. Not bitter, but just sexy. Don't remember other notes and not good at picking them out. Didn't like Spellbound as it was too "heavy" for me for a scent and didn't like the way it smelled, but Lora likes it. Vasslajldkjjdlfjl (lol) is pretty and sweet..like description depicts.


So gonna do bike ride today...12 miles. Farm roads and away from menacing wild vicious dogs and such. Then BBM (leg weight workout)

Charlotte~~
 
Thanks for the quick replies, guys! Love youses. :*

I have another question, have either one of you ordered from the Twighlight Alchemy, the love, lust and beauty section? If so, how are they? Thanks!

Lisa
 
Lisa - That's Charlotte's forte!! I don't care for any of the TAL"s or Voodoo blends I've tried. One that Char sent me recently, Caliph's Beloved, wasn't bad, but I think I only liked it cuz it had cinnamon in it. To me, the Voodoo blends & TAL's are either too sharp, pungent or herbaly, strange smelling...........but Char's been collecting all of them....so it's a matter of what you find you like or don't like. If you have any more questions, shoot. I think I've tried almost everything she makes!!
 
Lora,
Those three I ordered, do they have herby smell to them? I'm not too crazy about "herby" smell although rosemary gets me a little excited for some reason. I don't like sweet or tart candy smell. I can't stand the smell of tart candy. Turns my stomach for some reason. Floral, it depends. Some are extremely strong. Sorry for all these questions. I've never used the oils before and I'm very, very picky when it comes to perfumes. Most give me a headache. I just want something that says "Hey, you, come on over here....I'm all open, stud" Know what I mean? ;-) ;-) }(

Lisa
 
Lisa - No - none of the ones you ordered are herbaly. I also like rosemary but only in certain blends. Khandita is one that has rosemary that is excellent. I love sweet and I like fruity blends. Florals have to be mixed with something else for me to enjoy them. If you like vanilla, you might want to try Antique Lace or Snake Oil and Coral Viper from the Snakepit (Carnivale Diabolique LE)) is my new favorite. Temple Viper is also very nice from the Snakepit. You should definitely try Snake Oil. I think Meg just tried it for the first time and loved it. It's very long wearing also. ONly needs to be applied in the AM and lasts all day!! (ETA - you can always sell stuff you don't like on Ebay or swap it on BPAL.org).
 
I was thinking of trying Snake Oil next. There are SO many oils I'm lost. LOL

How long do these oils last on you or does it depend on your body chemistry? If I were to say I put on Blood Countess, do I have to put it on a few hours before I go out or about half an hour before I go out?

Also, have you tried anything from the Sephiroth section?
 
Lisa,

Blood Countess about 30 mins before you go out. Doesn't last really long either. Not overwhelming, but you know it is there..sexy and says...come get me! lol. Love it.

So just finished bike ride. Wind was bad on the last mile back. Had to peddle hard...look like newbie and nerdy, most likely, but I didn't see anyone else out there trying so there!:p ;-) I am home and getting ready to eat more carbs to get in my leg workout and abs.

Charlotte~~
 
Lisa -I guess it depends on how much oil you apply. I'm a slatherer....and I know Char mostly buys imps so I doubt she wears near the amount I wear. I have extremely dry skin and therefore, the scent sucks right up if I don't put a lot on. When I wear it like that, most of them are pretty long wearing.....excpet for a few. Blood Countess isn't as fleeting on me as it is on Char. I usually apply at 5:30 am (when I'm working) and then put on a slight touch up 1/2 hour before I leave....just for the heck of it. Then I usually don't touch up till after lunch and it lasts all day. Again, it depends how much you apply. Keep in mind these are pure oils with no alcohol.......it lasts much longer than the stuff you buy at the store!!
 
Good afternoon, I wanted to post my workout and say I am going to be gone till Sunday. I hope you all have wonderful weekends.
Today I did Amy Bento Kick Box Extrreme. I really liked it alot. It was long. 1 hr and 28 minutes. I then did the M&F rotation lower body and tomorrows shoulders. Will to the abs in the trailer.

Lora, I am not sure how much weight those circuits you have been doing uses. I would say after 5 days in a row I would not do a weight workout. If it focused more on one area say today then maybe you could get away with another area tomorrow.

See you all hear Monday:)

Thank you very much for helping me with the oils, Lora and Toasty. I really appreciate it! :7

Also, another thing I'd love to thank you two for is raving about Nickelback. I listen to them everyday for almost a month now. What else are you guys gonna do to me next?? LOL :p
