Morning Fit Ladies -

This morning I slept longer than I was supposed to and then got sidetracked with stuff and only ended up having 15-20 minutes to do some quick aerobics. I did 20 minutes of Xtreme Step w/ no w/u or c/d....shame on me. I really need to stretch....but I'll have to wait.
I'll make sure to not take a rest day Saturday and I'll do aerobics/stretching and yoga and I'll feel better about todays short workout.

I don't know what's going on with me. I just started to take this hormone the doctor gave me to try to help my problem so I don't need surgery (hopefully), but the last couple of nights, my ankles have been so fat and my calves feel funny. I'm retaining water like crazy. I think I gained 7 pounds of water weight over the last 2 days. I'm feeling pretty miserable and my pants are bulging. The only thing I've been eating with lots of sodium is some salsa. I'm thinking it must be the medication and maybe it's PMS....who knows, as my body is all out of whack.

Have great workouts or rest days and I'll be back later.

Toasty: I hope you're feeling better today.

Diana Sue - How do you get your abs sore? I can't seem to get mine sore any more.

The site I order my perfume oils has the Carnivale update posted. In case you ladies are interested in seeing the scents, here's the link: Her prices went up with this update, so this addiction (along with my fitness one) is going to make me need a second job.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Yesterday I rested. Today I feel better and hopefully much stronger now so I am going to take off for a bike ride this morning and then work my legs when I get back. I will then bring in what weight equipment from the sunroom into my air conditioned home and do PUB. I feel gross from not working out enough so I am ready to go today.

Lora,

Checked out that site. I can see why it would be addicting. I was just looking at some scents yesterday on ebay and was tempted. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME???? I love the love potions on that site, but 5ml is pretty much next to nothing, huh? There are so many to choose from. Too bad you can't sample them before you buy.

You don't know how Diane Sue gets her abs so sore????? Have you not read her workouts?????? GOSH! She uses weights too, and alot of weight. Sorry, Diane Sue. Got to brag about you!;-) I know when you do the raises for your abs, it makes them sore.

Well, this morning I did Cardio Kicks. I have to say, I almost didn't do it. I am sore from head to toe this morning and I was SO tired. I was very tempted to go back to bed and take a rest day. But since I was up, I figured I may as well do it. I'm so glad I did. After the warm up I was feeling really good. I wore my weighted gloves and really worked up a sweat. I love this workout. Each combo is just so fun.

I was in my zone for 36 minutes and burned 287 calories.

Charlotte - glad to hear you are feeling better.

Lora - Sorry to hear about your swelling. It sounds like the meds to me. I'd call your doctor and see if there is anything you can do about it.

Ditto on Diane Sue's abs. She really does blast them good.

Have great workouts, everyone!
 
Charlotte -

You can get samples of all of the regular catalog blends and Love Potions are under catalog blends. Only the Limited Edition scents are NOT sold in sample sizes. The samples are called "imps ears". I sell the Limited Editions in sample sizes on E-bay. Love Potions are a regular catalog blend, so you can purchase an imp ear. The Carnivale Diabolique ones that I linked are the new Limited Edition scents. Believe it or not, one of the Forum members does the artwork. Isn't she talented? (ETA - this is pure oil so 5 ml's isn't bad for size)
 
Well alrighty then....

I just got back from my bike ride. WOOO, I was not sure I was gonna make it back. When you factor in the high humidity, dew point, etc. and plus already accelarated heart rate from riding, my body must have felt really hot. My face is brown and I am drenched in sweat. I love the ride, but it is hard when the air is so bad. Thick and hazy. I haven't forgot to take pictures...when it gets nicer, I will.

Lora,

Oh, thanks for the information. You are such a bad girl. How am I suppose to be debt free when I hear of all your bad habits that might soon be one of mine????? HUH? LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Lora- atleast you got something in this morning. Those scents and love potions look pretty cool.

Charlotte- glad you are feeling better and got out to ride

Deb- it seems like this rotation is working! I probably would have went back to bed LOL!

Diane Sue- you sure do know how to work the abs! I guess I should start using weights more often.

I am planning a some circuit training today, later on. I will check back in later.

Meg,

I am gonna jump on my rotation just as soon as the weather cools down a bit. Glad you are sticking with it.

Lora,

I ordered some scents. Now I am in trouble with hubby.

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte -as soon as I get a second, I'll recommend some for you and then you might have to place another order!!! They are really nice........my hubby loves them. What did you order so I get an idea of what you like? (the Forum is www.BPAL.org and you can find reviews of all of the scents) Also there is a link from the site to it and. Also if you click on New scents - all new ones listed
 
Lora,

I already did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}( :D This is my second order of the day. Recommend though. I will get some more later. I sent you some pm's of what I ordered.

Charlotte~~
 
Hey Charlotte- I am sticking to it. I like it, but honestly I do better with a video or straight cardio. Meaning, for instance, the circuit challenge. I always feel like I am not moving fast enough or whatever if I don't have a format to follow, or someone yelling at me to keep going LOL!!!
If I am just free weighting it, then that's cool, does this make sense???
I can't wait to get thru this damn heat wave either.
You guys are really tempting me to check out these scents a little more!!

Charlotte- don't order any more till I send you a note. It's really busy here, but I'll recommend some I KNOW you'll love. It's easier for me to read my regular emails here at work. My boss is getting ready to leave for a couple days.........so I can't get a breather. Snake Charmer is no longer availabe cuz it was a Limted. Do you like honey ....Et Fuit Lux is the current Limited Editio that smells good and also the Carnivale Diabolique section is all Limted Editions.
 
Good afternoon
Our air conditioning quit:( I did Step Blast/SJP Premix step Circuits no str., went on to do SJP Step and Muscle Max Premix Push & Pull minus the w/up. It was 85 degrees in my workout room, I was drenched. My dh came and said he could not believe I was working out when it was this hot. Someone is supposed to try and come out today.

Lora, I had already bookmarked that site and had tentatively picked some scents. I know I am going to have to order some. The artwork is great. As far as getting my as sore I have to keep trying new things because I could do them for hours and not feel anything. So right now I do them less often and do at least two really intense workouts using resistance. If it isn't so hard that I think I am at failure then I try to come up with something else.

Charlotte, I think I would not want to ride in hot humid weather. We have a slight chance of rain today. Boy will that make it even more miserable. We really do need it though.

Hi to everyone else,

Lora, I forgot to comment on the hormones. I would bet that is your problem. You might talk to the doctor and see if he can give you a different one. Also if you buy fresh pico de gallo in the produce area of the grocery store it uusually does not have all the salt added to it. Just a suggestion.

Diane Sue - that just SUCKS! I hope you get it fixed soon. We usually keep our air at 80 degrees during the day but when I workout it goes down to 72 and I'm still usually dripping.
 
Speaking of heat.....it's so hot in my office. It's been 90 and humid here and my AC doesn't work very well in the office.

This seems to be the ever shrinking thread. We need some newcomers! What the heck happened to everyone? I can't wait to get out of here today.
 
Diane Sue,

Sorry to hear about your a/c not working. That stinks! The thermometer in my sunroom says 100, but it seems like the humidity has gone bye bye's for now and it really doesn't feel so bad so I am working out in there doing chest/back. I did coremax 3 this morning inbetween phone calls. LOL!

Lora,

Sorry to hear your suffering as well in the office...probably cuz you work in hell anyways, so what would you expect????? LOL

Charlotte~~
 
I am so happy. They finally got our air fixed. It has been excessively hot since before we went to the zoo Monday.

Debbie, I used to keep ours at 78 but since dh came home we keep it around 75. I used to lower it when I worked out but we don't have the programmable thermostat and I would forget to turn it back up.

Lora, it would be miserable having to work with it too warm.

Charlotte, I could not imagine working out at 100 degrees. No wonder you wanted to run in the sprinklers to get cooled off LOL.
