Morning Ladies -

This morning I did TurboJam Lower Body Jam and YBB Hip Hop Abs aerobic section x 2 followed by the ab work and stretch. The workouts totaled about 70 minutes and it was a good workout. I really liked Lower Body Jam which is odd since I usually hate lower body workouts (my problem area). It had variety and really worked your inner and outer thighs. You use a band tied around your ankles for part of it and then part of it is standing kicking (sort of like the leg toning in Kickmax). YBB Hip Hop Abs is my favorite YBB!! I remember hating it when I first got it. It's fun now!! and it was pretty intense doing the aerobic sections back to back. It made for a little power packed 30 min aerobics.

I'm off today and my husband and I are going Christmas shopping and to a movie. I'm still sick, but I'm starting to feel just a little better. I'm really congested still and I'm losing my voice.

I had a meeting at work yesterday (for all of the other Hourly Associates in the hospital) and they told us that huge job cuts are coming and then bumping will start within the institution. That's all I need is to get bumped out of my job now!! I only have just shy of 2 years seniority, so I'm pretty low on the list.

Have great workouts everyone. I'm off to soak in the tub. Hopefully my large Christmas perfume oil will be here later today and I can play with my new oils today. It was supposed to be here yesterday Priority Mail, but I guess the PO is slow this time of year due to volume.
 
Morning ladies!

Lora-Have a nice day off with your DH. What movie are you going to go see? Glad you are starting to feel better too. I hope you don't get bumped out of your job especially since you just started.

I doubt if I will get a workout in today. I need to read and do some worksheets for class since I have class again in the morning, 9-12:30. Then three days next week too. I am getting close to be doing with the class. The tests are getting close!!

How is everyone today? I posted Keith Urban pic's in my picture trail if you ladies want to see them. I can't remember if I told you that yesterday or not. Sleep deprived! lol

Have a good day! I will check in again later.
 
Good Morning All!

I'm letting my breakfast digest and then I'll get that run in I was supposed to do yesterday. I'll do a CM segment too. I had my alarm set, but it was a long night with my ds2. He was coughing an awful lot.

Lora ~ Love the reviews. Are those new BB DVDs? They sound good. I'll cross my fingers about your job. Have a fun day today.

Sabrina ~ I saw your pictures. Awesome! You were so close! Good luck with all your homework.

Nicole ~ How is your son?

Terri ~ Are you done Christmas shopping? I just have one Godfather and teachers left! Yes! So happy right now!

Hi Marietta, Susan and Diane Sue!

Thanks everybody for letting me vent about that stupid mailbox. We have a temporary one in right now and the lady's insurance agent will be out sometime today. Her dh turns out to be a former Chicago cop. He was not happy that it took her so long to get back here. Oh well, it will all work out.

I'll try and get back here later. Have great workouts everyone!
 
Hello Everyone,

Well I have not decided yet what SS workout I am going to do???

Last night I did end up doing PHH abs, and then I pulled out beyond basic's yoga for dummies. That was about 50 min. It felt good afterwards. I really need to work on that yoga breathing though:) I just don't get it?? I am really going to *TRY* doing more yoga.


Dallas I posted a LONG post last night so I think I will go and copy and paste it here for you all:)

Hello Everyone,
How are you all doing??? Thank you all for your concern!! I really appreiate you!!

I just ate about a half hour ago so I am killing time before I go do a workout. I am going to pull out Power half hour abs. (I think it has alot of standing ab work) Can ya tell I have not done it is a LONG time I am going to see how I feel afterwards and I might do some cardio??

Lora that is great that you lost a few pounds!! I have not weighed myself.... I mostly go by looking at my body, and asking the kids, and dh ha ha. Since doing the SS's I can tell I am really toning the lower half more though.

Dallas so sorry to hear about your mail box if that did'nt ruin your morning!! Happy that she came back though!! Remember that hotspot I was talking about......Well my dd took care of it for me while I was in the hopital and my mil was on route.... I told her to see to area's that needed it!!I guess that is a easy way of dejuning haha just have someone else do it for you LOL.

Oh Terri I HOPE you get firm it up!! It is one of my favorites!! I think you will love the floor work Last night I did Burn it up (from Slim in 6) BOY I could not finish the floor work, and my butt is feeling it today!! YIPPE Ya know it is doing something then ha ha.

Marietta yes my mil is here ( right now she is watching Willie wonka and the choc. factory with the kids ha ha) I posted a update on Sunday right before he got admitted to the hopital, but I posted later so you probably missed it. He had NUMEROUS things going on, Sinus infection, pneumonia and some kind of virus?? I praise the lord he is now on the mend! I got to know the his new Dr. better, and I really like her!! I am going to look for your thread... you have me interested

Susan you are so funny. I know ya don't mean that Lora's boss is a Beach I hope your new dvd gets to you soon, and I hope you really LIKE it

Sabrina happy to hear you had a fun time at your concert!! How is your class coming along?? Are you almost done with it?? You took some great pictures of Keith

Diane Sue how are you liking your new treadmill?? How many min. do you go?? Do you just walk or are you running??? My friend runs on hers pract. everyday.

Take care everyone!!

~Nicole


Today I am vacuuming out my heat ducts.

I will try and check back later!!
 
Nicole-How is your son today? How are you doing? Don't you just love it when the body part hurts?! lol It is nice to know that that part has been tortured enough. My last class is Dec.15. I have the class test to pass before I can go to Springfield for the big test. Thanks for asking.

Take care!
 
Good afternoon,
Last night I finished up with CM#3, Bowflex 100ea kneeling cable crunches and seated resisted crunches, 50 ea. side resisted oblique twists, 30 barbell rollouts and 120 Bowflex calf raises
Today I did iFIT Level 3 Rock treadmill workout plus added 15 minutes to the 45 min workout. I got in 5 miles. This one kept an incline throughout the workout, higher on the lower speeds, after some of those hills the 8mph sprint was tough. It was a good interval workout.

Susan, I would think the elliptical stepper would be tough to advance to higher levels on. My daughter had one and I did not enjoy it to much. I guess maybe one could build more muscle endurance, but it would take a lot of determination.

Lora, did you get your new RYKA's yet. I hope things work out for you at work and you get to stay.

Nicole, I have varied on the times and miles I put on the treadmill. I am really enjoying it. I run through most of it or a slow jog on the w/u. Usually I try to make it an hour.

Dallas, glad to hear your mailbox issue is taken care of. Thanks for the poem about mothers and grandmothers!!

Sabrina, I enjoyed your pics. You got some real good close ups. I am sure you had fun. Last time I tried to take a camera to a concert was in Vegas and they took my camera :( My dh was bothered by them having it stashed w/ a bunch of other cameras, so left the show to get it and take it back to the room. (As it wa a $1000 Nikon)

Marietta, I did get in some good legwork yesterday. My legs really felt it this am. I still managed the treadmill with the inclines today though.

Have a great day everyone

Sabrina he is running around and has lots of energy again. The Dr. said he could go back to school mon. (He is so excited) He still has to stay on antibiotics for a few more weeksx( I have to call her next week to update her and see if she wants to see him next week or the week after? ( She is going on a conference)

Gosh your class is almost over:) Just keep at it as you have and I know you are going to pass with no problem;)

Diane Sue GREAT workout!!

~Nicole
 
Hi Everyone,

It is a crazy busy day with my business today and I swear the people who work for me are driving me nuts!

I will be doing a run and mix it up and bsb today. A late start for workouts as you can see!

Nicole-Ii did win firm it up!
Dallas-Yes I am in the process of christmas shopping!
Sabrina-Did you get the cd back yet? If not you should very soon. I had it ready to go and realized the bass player hadn't signed it. My son got her to do it the other day and put it in the mail.
Lora-Have a fun day!
Marietta-What you up to this weekend?
Diane SUe-Have a great weekend
Susan-I too want an elipitical :)

Terri
 
Hi everyone,

Today is my day off of work...so I'm busy ~unlike when I'm *at* the office.

I received the Powerstrike VHS yesterday and it worked fine. I did that this morning instead of the scheduled IMAX2. I like it a lot. Lots of punches and roundhouse kicks. One of the instructors did her push ups during the warm up on her fists! I stayed on my knees.

After getting ds on the bus, I went and got my hair cut. It's been SIX months since I've gone. They raised the price $11 more! I was not happy about that.

Sabrina, your pictures look great. Did you have to sneak the camera in?

Lora, enjoy your day off. Good luck getting through the lay offs.
My dh has a very, very bad feeling about his job right now. It would be terrible if he lost his job.

Diane Sue, yeah, my elliptical is tough!! My heart beats out of my chest after a minute. I hardly use it. I feel bad since I HAD to have it. I called my dh while he was away and convinced him of the necessity of it. I don’t dare tell him how I really feel.

Nicole, I picked up the 30 day to a simpler life last night. I'll put it to use this week. So far the first two days will be easy.

Dallas, did you send your Christmas cards out yet? I purchased mine early last month and was going to write them out this weekend, but I don’t want to send them too early. Maybe I'll wait to mail them next weekend.

Marietta, you're probably off running somewhere....so I'll just send you a shout out today!:7

Have a great day! Susan

ps. I have Lavern and Shirely on right now. That show still makes me laugh.:D
 
Hi Ladies -

We just got back from Aeonflux and didn't care for it. We see everything though........so....oh well.

My Rykas came and they are a half a size too small. I need to get another pair. I'm mad!! I should have listened to the Shape Magazine article. It stated they ran a half size small but then the website didn't state it.

My husband agreed to buy the new Tracy Long DVDs for me for Christmas. I didn't really expect him to go for it, but he did. Yay!! Now I can save the money I had set aside for them.

Dallas - I got the TurboJam & YBB workouts a long time ago, but today is the first day I ever did the Lower Body Jam workout.
 
Nicole-Glad he is full of kid energy again. LOL!

Terri-No I have not received the cd yet. I just went and got the mail too.

I have to share!! I am so excited!! I just got a new desktop computer from Dell. DH had is customized with what we wanted. I will have to tell you more about it later. The boys get out of school in 5 minutes.
 
Hi Everyone!

We're getting ready to leave for a Christmas party. I'm pooped though. Four hours of sleep just doesn't cut it.

Lora ~ You're making me want more videos!:D I hope I get Slim Series for Christmas. I know I have Cathe's coming, but...

Nicole ~ Glad to hear your son is OK. You're dd is how old?! She organized for you! WOW! She should get an extra x-mas present! :)

Susan ~ Funny story about the x-mas cards. My SIL bought the same cards. My dd saw them and we had the same pj's for the kids. So I figured I'd put them in mail as soon as I had them done. She's always early. I didn't want to look like a copy cat! LOL! :7 Everyone got our cards on the same day.

Diane Sue ~ I ran 5.25 miles on the treadmill too and CM #3. I almost didn't do it, but figured this was going to be busy weekend. I didn't do the rest of your workout however.:p Glad you liked that e-mail I sent.

Terri ~ How's the shopping going? Did you get your appetite back?

Got to go!
