Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Sweat 5-6 from Power 90 Masters. I did aerobics during the yoga part in the warmup and ran in between moves when Tony explained stuff to make it harder. I was surprised my HR was at 150-160 and this is like a steady state workout. I either worked it a bit harder today, or it's time for me to increase my aerobics on intervals. I listened to the newer ShineDown CD and it was good. I also did Ab Ripper 200. I wanted to do some yoga, but ran out of time.

I'm going to start incorporating recovery weeks in my training just so I can do yoga! I got some really good DVDs recently and have a few more coming. I just rec'd Altar of the Heart with Tilak Pyle shot in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It looks good. It's not a real strenuous practice, but looks to be a bit more than just the typical stretching type of yoga. I also ordered a 5 DVD set by Mark Blanchard that is called the Sedona Experience. A couple DVDs are 80-90 minutes and he is pretty advanced. I have an older tape of his that is 90 minutes and he actually does a full split on the tape. I still remember the day I did that!! I haven't tried it for a while, since I haven't really been allowed to do a lot in Power Yoga. I'm just going to practice modifying and try to work into it slowly. I also got some stuff on Overstock.com for really low prices. Have you ladies ever shopped there? This was a first for me.

Dallas- I slept okay the last 2 nights, but I didn't get in bed until 10:00 pm, so I still only got 4.5 hours of sleep. I'll try to get more over the weekend. That's about all I ever average during the week. I don't feel okay if I only get 3.5 though.

Marietta - yes, music is good for the soul. I always have been a music lover!

Susan - take it easy. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Terri - Yes, I also have P90X. I'm planning on doing a rotation in the near future. I wanted to play around with my P90 Masters first.

Charlotte - no word from you yet! Did you make it back from the concert?

My pain has been flaring really bad this week. I don't know if it's the heavy lifting aggravating me or the more agressive yoga I did the other day. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Has anyone here ever tried Gliding? I'm thinking about buying it, but I'm on the fence. I need more to crosstrain with for my aerobics. I feel so fat! I'll be glad when I'm off this Prednisone. It's making me eat more and I think I may be retaining water also. I feel like a blimp!

Have great workouts. I'll try to check in from work (depending on my boss's whereabouts, etc.)


ETA: I rec'd my Collage catalog yesterday, so everyone that gets one should be receiving it. I'm on page 34 (in case you want to see who babbles on here daily).
 
Morning ladies!

Checking in late but the boys are out of school today for a teachers institute. Ugh!

I have to do a walk through of the house that I am doing an open house for on Saturday at 11:30, then I have an office meeting at Noon, then I have to work from 1-5. Busy day fro me! lol

Dh and I went for a walk last night since it was decent out. It is now cold and windy. Stupid weather!!

Lora-I have not received my catalog yet. I will check you out when I get it. How has your boss been at work? I hope things are going better for you.

Have a great day ladies. I will try to check in later.
 
Good Morning...

This morning I walked a couple of miles on my treadmill at 10% incline and then I did a chest workout with some plyometrics inserted between sets.

I have another busy day ahead of me. I think I may run at lunch and do a set or two of BBM.

Lora - Hope your pain goes away...like you said, keep an eye on it.

Where are the rest of you this morning??

I'll be back...

Hey Everyone,
I just got done with Push/Pull upper body premix(46min)and 1 set of BBM workouts. I will have to get my bike ride in later.

DD6 was up at 2am with a sore ear:-( Taking her to the Dr. in 45 min. so gotta quick go shower!!

Hello to all that follow!!

~Nicole
 
Hey don't know what the deal is with the mad face after premix??? I tryed to edit it, but for some reason it wanted to stay:7 ???

~Nicole
 
Nicole-Good luck at the doctors office! I hope your daughter is ok. I guess that mad face has a mind of its own. lol

Marietta-Here I am!! Here I am!! (waving my hand off)!! :D
 
Good Morning Everyone!!!

Lora,

Yup, made it back from the concert. I did bring earplugs and used them...ever so lightly! LOL! Worked beautifully. Walked out and was talking to DH and I had to keep repeating myself to him! LOL! He obviously didn't wear earplugs. Everyone's ears were still ringing, but mine. I heard perfectly fine though. I really didn't like Shinedown much. Boy, the singer really puts on a show that drives the crowd even crazier so that was scary! Flyleaf had a much positive message and I appreciated that! DD, her friends, my brother and DH liked Halestorm ALOT! They were good and Liz knows how to move her body! Flyleaf was very good also, but I liked them more then everyone else. Seether even sang a Nirvana song!!!! They were awesome! Towards the end, I had little space, if any to move. DD got Halestorm's signatures and got a guitar pick that was thrown out in the crowd from Shinedown so that was cool.

Anyhoo, today I am going to do PUB, ab work from several video's and not sure what leg work yet.

Hope you all have a great day and workout!

Charlotte~~
 
Hello Ladies,

k I am going to start the march rotation on monday. Thanks Marietta for the advice on bulking. I like the march rotation as is says"caridio of choice" and that means I can get my running in. Meanwhile I am going to be doing a SS eveyday and a cardio. Today I am doing tear it up and later run.

Marietta-Thanks agai n for all your knowledgable advice!

Charlotte-Glad you have a nice time
Susan-Are you doing better after HSC yesterday?

Well another beautiful day here. I have to get out and do wok appts so I hope to enjoy some of this day!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

I'm just now getting on here because the phone hasn't stopped ringing. I guess I can't get mad. The calls were birthday wishes! My niece from Fla called first and sang Happy Birthday!:7:7 She sounded so cute. I can't wait to see her and my sister at the end of the month!

I forced my tired body out of bed at 5A. I had to...I have so much to do today. Today, I did 45 minutes walking on an incline. I then did L&G from the one-legged deadlift (didn't do the explosive lunges though). I wanted to. :) I then did CM#2.

Lora ~ I can't wait to get the catalog. It's always nice to put a face to names. :)

Sabrina ~ I hear you on this goofy weather. It doesn't know if it wants to warm up or stay cold!x(

Nicole ~ Good luck at the doctors. Poor kid! Ear aches are the worse.

Marietta ~ What's your plans for the weekend? My kids have a four day weekend. I better start planning some things.

Charlotte ~ Glad you had fun at the concert! Sounds like a long one!

Hi Susan, Terri and Diane Sue!

I'll try and check back!

Oops, I forgot about the BBM! I'll see if I can squeeze them in when I get back.

Dallas
 
Thanks Marietta, Sabrina and Terri! I didn't say anything because I thought my b-day could go by silently this year. lol! I think I have to check the next box on all those forms that categorize your age. ;-) ha ha I keep telling myself it's just a number and I feel great! I actually feel healthier than I did in my 20's.:)

Thanks again!

Dallas
 
Hi everyone,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS!!!:D :D :D


Feeling good today, I did Power Hour. I'd like to either walk on my treadmill or use my stepper for 20-30 minutes today.

Lora, I'll look you up in the Collage catalog. I'm surprised I'm still on their mailing list. I ordered some w/o's years ago and moved.

Nicole, sorry your daughter’s ear hurts. I think ear aches last a few days too.

Sabrina, good luck at the Open House today!

Marietta, I loved having busy days. Now, my days seem busier than ever, yet nothing gets done. Hahahaha

Charlotte, I’m glad you had a good time at the concert.

OK, I have a question. Since I have the tv on during the day, usually on FitTV, I hear a lot of the words for muscles as “long and lean” and THAT’s what everyone wants. Is Cathe considered long and lean? Even though she’s not very tall? Does height have anything to do with this expression?

Dallas Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL Day!!

Well DD6 has a nasty ear infection the Dr. was surprised that she only complained about it last night?? It was bulging.....Poor thing!! Got her meds. so that should start kicking in, and she can sleep tonight!!

Terri another JuneBABY here :7 The 23rd!! Hey enjoy your rotation!! It looks good!!

Charlotte sounds like you had a GREAT time!! I think you were smart to take along ear plugs!! You eardrums will thank you later ;-)

Sabrina hope your showing goes WELL!! Like I hope you make a sale:D

Diane Sue your cake looks GREAT!! I wish I could come over and have some}( Will keep your dd and Sil in my prayers!!

Susan how are you doing today!! Now listen to all the wonderful advice we gave you yesterday :7

Hello to everyone that follows
~Nicole
 
Hey everyone..I'm back from the first round of errands. I have to leave again shortly for my son's eye appt.

Thanks Susan and Nicole!

Nicole ~ Gosh, that same thing happened to my ds. The good thing with ear infections, as you probably know, once she starts the medicine she'll bounce back really fast.

Susan ~That's an interesting question. You should post that on the OD. Glad you feel better. Don't you just want to get back in the saddle?!?! I can empathize, of course, for a different reason. I'm probably taking it a little too slow, but at least I can do some cardio. You know?

Got to run!!

Dallas
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS!!!! Hope you have a blessed day!! Don

I did a tempo run at lunch today and 1 set of BBM...so I'd say I had a good workout.

I do like being busy at work because it makes time fly, but the political stuff is for the birds!!

Nicole - hate hear about that ear infection...your DD must have a high threshold for pain. Now that you've got meds...she'll be up and at em in no time.

Diane Sue - My weakness is cake and carmel/cheese popcorn! I don't think I need to see any cakes right now. My DH keeps buying me popcorn and it beckons me on a regular basis...

Sabrina - Hope that showing leads to something BIG!!

Susan - Your question is a good one. I'm not sure about that long and lean look myself. I don't consider Cathe long and lean although she has a great body...When I think long and lean...I think runway models that are "toned" but not all that athletic. IMO Cathe has an athletic build, but not so much so that she doesn't look feminine. Does that make sense?

Terri - You're gonna start the March rotation? Next week? I can do it with you...it's a week earlier than I originally intended, but I can deal with that.

Better get back to work...check you chicks later.

Dallas...I just read your post on the Intervention thread....that's very powerful. I can certainly feel where you are coming frome. I'm glad you came to terms with everything and realized that you cannot help a person that does not want to help themselves no matter how much you love them.

I know it took a lot for you to post that...very well said.
