Morning -

This morning I did P90X Kenpo X followed by Quick Fix Pilates for abs. I used my Med Ball and tried to use my Pilates circle for the abs but most of the stuff was done with one leg, so it didn't work. Since the med ball makes me get a lot more sore from Pilates, I've decided to try doing it with a med ball and ankle weights from now on, or use my Pilates ring when I can.

I also did Eion Finn's Power Yoga for Happiness "Strong, Happy & Free" premix. I never did this premix before. It had a lot of stuff I never have done before. It was a lot of arm balances and back bends. I had to modify quite a bit. I did do some of the side arm balances....we'll see how my shoulders handle it.

Speaking of shoulders - I wore a racer back top working out this morning and during the blocking section in Kenpo X, I really noticed my shoulders again. They are getting defined and they look shaplier. Actually, my shoulders and upper arms are starting to look better. I wish my biceps would catch up.

Diana Sue - I was howling during that yoga tape. There is a dog in the tape that you see from time to time and in this particular premix, I was about 38 min into it and they show the dog sitting on his hind legs with his paws up on a little baby sticky mat. It was hilarious. I kept rewinding it to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. He looked like he was trying to do yoga with them. I think it must be Eion's dog. My DH came in from running about 1 minute after I saw it.....so I asked him to come see this and rewound it for him. He was cracking up. He said the dog must like to do yoga with them. I wish you had this DVD so you could see him. I've never seen anything so cute.

Have great workouts or rest days.........if anyone is out there.

I'll be back later. I'm going to see My Super Ex Girlfriend today. Clerks II wasn't that good yesterday. It was very crude. I do enjoy most crude humor, but parts of this were over the top.
 
Good afternoon,
Today is my rest day. I got up late because I hardly slept last night. I had to rush to get tready for church & pick up my grandson. So this afternoon I tried for a short nap. My puppy kept trying to stick her nose in my face to wake me up.

Lora, that must have been funny seeing the dog do that. I bet it was cute. I will have to look at my workout logs to see if I did I Max on the recovery weeks.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend

Lora, one of my recovery weeks was really light as we were on vacation in Cancun. I just did part of Yoga X, part of Core Synergistics, and Cardio X. One of them I did add in some Turbo Jams, and 1 I Max workout.

Hi everyone,
DH and I are back from our mini vacation. We ran out of money and energy! LOL!! Had a great time. We went to Put-in-Bay Friday, it was beautiful weather for that, we spend the day in Sandusk & Vermilion, Ohio, which is lakefront tourist areas and had a great time just eating and shopping and today we went to Amish country about an hour south of us. I ate horribly all weekend but don't really care. We had a great time.

I'll start my workouts again on Tuesday morning, tomorrow I will be back on my normal eating. My body has had enough of the junk food.

Where is everyone? This thread is down to about two or three people now.

Charlotte, don't let those people bother you about what you said about Lady in the Water. I HATE when people have to pick at what other said. Like you really meant that in a nasty sort of way. Idiots. Just ignore them.
 
Hey you girls!

I know I haven't been around lately, but I read about all of your great workouts every day. I just had to pop in and say a few things - Lora, you are beautiful! Love your new avatar.

Charlotte - I agree with Debbie. I hate when people attack others in "public" like that. I think THAT is insensitive. If she had a problem a better way to handle it would have been to send you a PM and just let you know why she feels that word is offensive to her and then let you decide if you still want to use it or not. What she did was no better than what she thinks you did. And sweetie, if my butt looked like yours, it would be my avatar!!!! :p Your pictures that you post on A WORKOUT SITE are motivating to me and to many others. Everybody is offended by something these days - heck, I'm a Christian - imagine how often I'M offended! :) I guess if we're going to belong to a forum like this, we need to know that not everything posted will be the way we would say or do things. But I don't feel it's my job to go around "teaching" everybody what I feel is politically correct and what isn't.

I hope you're all doing well! Netta - how about that Tour! What a comeback! Yet another American wins. Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!

Good Evening,
I thought I would drop in and see what everyone was doing.

Debbie its good to see you back. It sounds like you had a nice relaxing many vacation.

Lora, I hope you enjoyed your movie today.

Suz, Good to see you are still around. I miss seeing your posts. How is Gizmo doing?

Charlotte, don't let anyone stop you from posting your pictures. I love seeing the pictures and all of the great progress you have made. You put in some awesome workouts.

Hi Debbie & Suz - Nice to have you back. It's just been Diana Sue and I this weekend. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Charlotte - WHere are you? I PM'd you yesterday and I've not heard from you. Are you okay? What's everyone talking about? What happened?

Suz - thanks for the compliment *blush*.

Debbie - Did you go to Cedar Point while you we're in Sandusky? I used to love that place, but I can't ride a lot of the rides now cuz of my neck. Sucks getting old.
 
Hello everyone!

Char-I agree with Diane Sue again. I think you look awesome and your pics are motivation to a lot of people. It is great to see success with people who have made choices to make their bodies a priority. I think this Wendy person is being very immature with her comments. I would just ignore it.

Lora-I forgot to tell you I like your new avitar! I am looking for a new yoga video and want to know what you would sugguest. Up until about 1 year ago I was doing a really great class, but had to stop cause I was preggo and Dr said no way. I need some yoga!

Diane Sue and Debbie- both of you ladies look very amazing and awesome!

Suz-Good the hear about Gizmo! Yeah!

Ok, I got to finish cleaning up the house. This has been a long day!

Hope everyone is fantastic!

Diane Sue - thanks for saying you miss my posts. How sweet. Gizmo is doing awesome. I posted a mini-update on the Lady in the Water thread. :) A good diversion maybe? Your pictures and Debbie's pictures are SUPER motivating too! I'm glad that you all put up pics. It gives me something to work toward. I love showing your pictures to people and telling them you have grandkids. I especially like the one on Bill's avatar. Your arms look amazing!

Suz,
I just went over and checked your post on Gizmo. Glad he is done with the vet. These puppies can be so brave at times:) Jasmine was scared of the whistling fireworks and hid under the seat of the car. Now when we play back the Fourth family video she barks at the tv and runs around in circles. She hates water. She won't go outside if the sprinklers are on. Although she didn't mind stepping in the lake water.

Diane Sue - I bet Jasmine is getting big! Will you post some new pics soon? Sounds like you're really enjoying her. What fun for the grandkids too! :)

It's funny you mention them being so brave at times. Gizmo has been through so much (and was soooo brave) and even though he was hurt by humans he still LOVES us more than anything. But loud noises - they send him running every time. We have mostly hardwood floors so he usually can't get any traction. It's kind of cute actually, poor baby.
