Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Cardio Coach 1 on the Elliptical and part on the bike. Then I did Shape Bikini Body Cardio Interval workout and modified on the rebounder (cuz of my foot). Total cardio was 70" and I burned 470 calories. I also did Rapid Results Pilates - Waist Slimmer 10" and Baron Baptiste's Unlocking Athletic Power 30".

Diane Sue - those salads sound good (not the crab pita thing though). I don't get M&F Hers cuz the DH says it's too expensive and too thin.

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Good Morning, today's workout is cardio, step or treadmill, Gym Style BSB, and some yoga. Got lots of cleaning to get done.

Lora, I will send you the recipes:) I really have liked M&F Hers more lately. I have found some good recipes and have used some good rotations from them.

Woke up this morning thinking it was a cardio day. Pretty happy to find out it was chest, shoulders and tri's. Wasn't thinking of upping weights or reps today because I just wasn't mentally prepared for this workout, but I ended up doing just that. Nothing monumental, but had a great workout nonetheless.

2 minute rest between everything.

Chest
Flyes (warmup): 25's - 2 sets/15 reps
Flyes: 35's - 3 sets/12 reps (same)
High Incline Flyes (pinkies in): 32's - 3 sets/15 reps (up 2#)
Decline Flyes: 27's - 2 sets/20 reps (up 2#)
***Notes: Flat and Incline Flyes really make my shoulders click and pop bad. I'm thinking I need to change this rotation and I just might do that for next week. I feel like I'm doing way too much chest work with this rotation. We'll see.

Shoulders
Wide Grip Upright Rows: 55# - 3 sets/10 reps (last week did 8/10/10)
DB Hammer Grip Front Raise: 15's - 2 sets/10 reps (Up 3#)
Standing External Rotations: 12's - 2 sets/15 reps (Up 2#)
***Notes: The HG Raises and External Rotations were really challenging. Had veins popping out all over. LOVE THAT! LOL!

Triceps
Cross Body Extensions: 17's - 3 sets/12 reps
Kickbacks w/palms up: 12# - 3 sets/15 reps (last week was 15/12/12 reps)
***Notes: I hate tricep work.

Still no ab work. WTF is wrong with me. I really need to do some this evening.

Hope you all have great workouts!
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Housecleaning and Yoga today...ahhhh..so relaxing! lol. Have to work this evening. Girls are a trip at work. So there are three of them that are good friends (well at least I thought so) then they randomly talk about the other behind their backs saying mean things. One girl said the other looked like a mouse. I couldn't believe such good friends could act like that. Hard to respect people that way who put down their closest friends..or are they really friends???? Wonder what they say about me??? lol. What the heck is wrong with some people???

Debbie,

After you do a good workout, you usually end up very tired later when you get to abs. Happens to me too, but abs only takes so much time so there really is no excuse. I mean, ab ripper is 16 mins...everyone has 16 mins!!!! lmao! I am preaching to myself as well very very much so!!!! lol.
 
Hi Ladies
Just finish Boot camp cardio only premix and slow and heavy legs and coremax balenced core prmix. I'm tired now
Great workouts ladies
Off to work:(

LOL Char! I know. I just run out of time. I am going to work on another rotation for next week, this one isn't really what I like. I did at first but now it's boring me. So I will figure something up and get abs scheduled as well. :)

Lora - Did you see my post about the Saliva stuff we talked about yesterday? Do you like the song "Always"? Isn't that a kick ass song?
 
Deb - yep, saw it. I like that song. I need to get more of their CDs. I like the song Broken Sunday from the new CD also....although it's a bit less rap/rock. I bought the CD Every Six Seconds used off of Amazon cuz I LOVE that song Your Disease. You'd know it if you heard it. The other song on the CD that is popular is Click Click Boom Boom. It's a decent CD. I like them. You crack me up listening to Enrique and Saliva at the same time!! I like to look at Enrique.....not sure about listen to though!

Speaking of rock - has everyone seen Buckcherry's video Everything that they've been airing on VH1? It's actually been playing in rotation and I don't mean at 3:00 am! I can't believe they're finally getting exposures. There goes the days of the small club shows!

I'm getting nervous about this interview. I have no idea what to expect or if they'll even hire an old lady like me!
 
Lora - Doesn't Velvet Revolver sing Broken Sunday? I love that song. I maybe getting them and Saliva confused. I like Your Disease as well.
 
Hello Peeps!

This morning I rode alone. :( Last night's hill climb (that I didn't do) must have done Jen in. My hammies are STILL so sore from ME on Saturday. Good grief! I rode for an hour and 20 minutes. DH and the SWAT team are out in the mountains on foot today looking for that guy. Did you see they found his pickup last night? Our phone did not stop ringing last night. This morning when I was on my ride they all passed me on their way out (as I was headed that direction towards those mountains - my usual morning "alone" ride). I was happy to see how many vehicles were headed out along with the big SWAT trailer. I'm pretty sure the guy is not alive since all that's missing are 2 canteens and a handgun (suicide?), but you never know. I just want them all to be safe and the more guys out there the better - just in case. I guess you're right Diane Sue about being scared. I know you've been through it with Bill. :)

Debbie - See! That ab thing is hard to do!!!

Lora - M&F Hers may be thin but it's packed full of good info. Some of the others are thick but just thick full of ads.

Hi Suz,
I was watching the news about the murder while running on the treadmill at the gym. The perp is scary looking. I doubt anything will happen to your sweetie and other swat members but it's very scary though. I missed most of it but was the guy in the military? Any idea why he shot his wife?

Anyway, all of you guys' workouts look AWESOME! Keep it up or shall I say pump it up, ladies. :)

I finished my workouts and no grandchildren are here. I guess they aren't coming today. I did Kelly Coffey Step Box stopping at the cardio weights, then did LIC timesaver cardio premix (no W/UP) I followed with Gym Style BSB no w/up, and then did Yoga Shatki shoulder openers, lunge, and inversions. I upped some of my weights but then when I got to the hammer curls I was struggling. After I was all finished I couldn't stand for it and went back and did two sets of 6 reps hammer curls with the 25# weights. Funny I was in Hobby Lobby with grandchildren yesterday looking at scrapbooking stuff. My 9 year old grandson is standing behind me and says Nana you have big muscles. You aren't even trying to show them and I can see them. I wasn't sure how I felt about that.

Reverse grip dumbbell rows 35# dumbbells 3 sets
Dumbbell one arem row 35# 2 sets
band t back squeeze silver
barbell pullovers 45# 2 sets
dumbbell overhead press 20# 2 sets, 15# 1set,last time I did 1 set 20
dumbbell lateral raise 15# dumbbells 2 sets
band lateral raise green
dumbbell rear flys 12# 2 sets

dumbbell concentration curls 20# 1st set, 25# 2nd set
Dumbbell curl up, Wrist over curl down 15#
Dumbbell hammer curls started with 25# only did a few reps and dropped to 20's :( I did better last time
dumbbell wrist curls 12# dumbbells 2 sets
Added the two sets of 6 reps dumbbell hammer curls 25# before the stretch

Suz, most of the time I don't worry but on occaision I get that odd feeling you are talking about. My worst time though was when I was on the phone with dh and he was in Iraq. We had webcam going as well. I heard the bomb hit and he immediately said he had to go. I could see it in his face. I sat here scared. It was on Fox news right after that. He called back as soon as he could. I have seen the pictures since he was home. It was much worse than he let on.

Just got back from the interview at Buckle. Talk about a waste of time. NOW I really feel rejected and like a loser! She goes thru the entire interview - asks me what year I graduated from high school! Aren't they not allowed to ask your age? That's the same thing. Pisses me off every time! After the interview - she says they just hired 2 Part-time and they don't need any full time now. Why the heck did I apply online for a full-time position and why did they even bother to interview me! Now that I know I can't EVEN get a job in the mall working retail....I'm starting to get real nervous about finding a job. I feel like eating a hot fudge sundae or all of the Very Cherry Yogurt in my fridge!!!! I'm depressed! Sorry for the rant.

Suz - I REALLY would like to buy M&F Hers but the DH isn't hearing it! I've tried to get it several times. Sometimes when I'm waiting for an Rx at the store, I'll look for the most recent issue to read...but I haven't had any luck finding it lately.

Diane Sue - that's a scary story about your DH and Iraq! Thanks for the recipes.
 
Diane Sue - That's cute about what your grandson said. It's nice that they know they have a fit grandma. I wonder what they tell the kids at school! :) The stuff in Iraq is a whole different thing. You know those guys are getting killed over there every day. I don't know how the families deal with it. That would have been scary what you heard and saw with Bill!

Lisa - Yeah, he was a trained sniper in the military. A gal I work with is also a reservist in the Wyoming National Guard and says he was a really nice, highly respected guy but that the two of them together (him and his wife - who everyone around here says was also a really nice person) were just not good. They had split up. It just breaks your heart to think that someone can be driven to taking another person's life like that - especially leaving your child without a mother, or father. I just hope they find him. If he took 2 canteens that probably means he's pretty deep in the mountains. Still no word.

Hi guys. I did some heavy UB work with free weights and the total gym machine. I then did abs from BM2. I was gonna run, but to humid here. Maybe tomorrow if no rain.

Char- sounds like those girls are a trip! I always wonder what people say about me too.

Lora- have you ever checked out Black Label Society? They have some really great stuff. Check out In this River. Awesome.

Gotta go get the kids, be back later!

TG - Welcome back! Finally a face with your name. And a beautiful face at that! :) Stay with us this time.

I forgot to tell you guys - now don't laugh - I stuffed my bra with socks today! I have this dress that I love and I haven't worn it since I lost weight. I've lost a total of 19 pounds now since DH left (I know he's back, but you know what I mean). The dress is really fitted in the waist and is supposed to gather up but doesn't now but still looks cute if I do say so :p (I know it doesn't make any sense). I got it at Nordstrom Rack a few years ago. But the bust part of it just hangs now. So I had my push up bra on but it didn't help. So I put DH's socks in there. First time I've ever done that in my life. :)

I just saw on Fox News that they're calling off the search for the night. At least I know everybody is safe for the night (if the news is right). Do you guys think he killed himself? I shouldn't watch the news. They make it sound so scary "all the cops are moving targets out there"! I think he's dead until I watch that.

Great workouts, everyone! Don't have time for individual messages but I've read all the checkin.

Lora - I do want to say that I'm sorry about the job. Something will turn up, you'll see. Keep your head up.

Suz - funny about stuffing your bra!! LOL!

Well, I've neglected my abs, haven't done them for over a week. So I decided to torture myself this evening and I did Ab Ripper X from the P90X series.

HOLY


CRAP!!!

This is one tough workout. I watched it first and thought there is no way I'd get through all that. Surprisingly I got through the entire workout with little rest. I was quite proud of myself.

This workout has 349 ab movements. And right now I'm feeling every single one of them!
 
Teddy girl nice to see you back :) I like your pics. It is good to have a face. You look great.

Debbie, I love Ab Ripper X. I got good results with that one. One thing though is I felt like I used a lot of hip flexors at first and really had to concentrate on other areas.

Suz, that is good they called off the search for the evening. Do you get to have dh at home?

Did you guys hear??? He shot himself in the chest and is alive? My sister said the guy is a sharp shooter and shoots his wife from a distance and kills her but can't kill himself from close range? Yeah, good point. Maybe he didn't want to kill himself? DH came home about 7:30 tonight and said he didn't think he was dead after all. He had changed clothes in his pickup and they found some other things that made DH think he was still alive. That freaked me out. Then the phone rang and they just got a text that they found him. THANK GOODNESS because DH was headed out again in the morning. So he's all comfortable (and relieved it's over) eating dinner and the phone rings again. It's disptach telling him the Chief wants him at the PD right away. He has no idea why so off he goes again. :(

Debbie - Good job on the abs!!!

Diane Sue - I feel the same way about Ab Ripper. I feel it in my hip flexors A LOT when I start out.

DH is home. Bad guy is dead. What a sad ending for them both, really. It hasn't been very windy this week until just now. How weird is that?

Nighty night. Hopefully we'll start getting some sleep around here.
