Good Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Body Max omitting the upper body work. I was dreading doing this DVD because I don't really like the music on the older DVD's, but it wasn't too bad this morning. I didn't know the step aerobics had so much higher impact in it and I didn't have my rebounder out, so I think I may have jumped a little too much on my foot. I'll have to ice it.

I had no problem getting through this workout, as I really have been getting more sleep since I lost my job. I actually thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night because I go so much sleep over the weekend, but I was able to sleep. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. I guess job stress really exacerbated my insomna.

I'm planning on doing a 2nd, easier workout later. Probably something with Ellen Barret. I really like her.

Have great workouts everyone and I'll check back in a bit.

Sabrina - Are you back from Chicago yet? Please let us knw how it went.
 
Good morning Ladies,

Today is suppose to be cardio kicks but I don't have it plus after I ran for an hour yesterday and did ctx upper body I later in the evening did the kickbox workout from ctx to de-stress. So today I will do another run and some leg workout.

Sabrina-Yes we are all anxious to hear about your trip
Dallas-We also want to know how your anniversary weekend went
Lora-I am glad you are sleeping better. I wish I were! You know I really like bodymax
Nicole and Susan _ how was your weekend?
Diane Sue-I read about your pizza fest this weekend :) Did you find out when/if your dad is visiting?
Marietta-What you up to today?

Have a good day Ladies

Good Morning,

Today I did GS Biceps and Triceps; followed by CTX Kickbox (I thought my arms were going to fall off!), plus Biceps. This took about 80 minutes.

Lora, glad to hear you're sleeping better.
Terri, I had a really nice weekend. For once it was just my DH and son. I love spending time with family and friends, but it was nice just to *relax*.
Nicole, the weekends always go by too quick. My DH left around 5:30 last night for his next trip. Oh, and doing push up is all in your mind...hahaha, but seriously, drop to one knee if necessary. The breaks in between sets really help.

Have a great day everyone.
Susan

Hello Ladies!!

Sorry I couldn't check in over the weekend...sometimes I just can't find my way to a computer when I'm not at work.

Friday - I did Hardcore Extreme #2 and PS Legs
Saturday - 2.5 mile Treadmill run, 30 minute Step class, Power Hour
Sunday - Ran about 7.5 miles on my treadmill

This morning I did what Lora did. Body Max Step, and Lower body blast. I will probably go for a run at lunch. It's going to be pretty cool and I couldn't find my running pants, but I think I'll be fine once I get going.

Lora - Glad you are getting some rest. Stay busy...
Terri - You're getting good workouts...yesterday we were on the same wavelength, my run took about an hour too. I got it in before going to church.
Nicole - Good luck with those pushups!! You can do it!!
Susan - Good workout!! I don't think I've done CTX kickboxing yet. I'll have to pull that one out...

Take care and have a wonderful Monday!!

Good Morning All!

Go White Sox! Yippee, they won last night! Two more to go!:7

We had a wonderful weekend. Friday, dh and I played touch football with about 10 other couples. We went back to one of the house for a little bit.

Saturday, I was unable to attend the Chicago get together. We had two soccer games, I had to get groceries, and then dh and I left about 4P for downtown Chicago. We went to Nick's Fishmarket for dinner. Yum. I had the roasted salmon. I had no room for dessert.:-( We then went on to see "Wicked". It was really good. One of the lead roles was played by Ana Gasteyer. She was Elphaba who turns out to be the Wicked Witch. I didn't know she could sing so well. Do you remember her from Saturday Night Live? She was the one who impersonated Celine Dion and Martha Stewart. I would like to take my dd7 to see it before it leaves. Maybe an early Christmas present.

Sabrina had mentioned getting together on Sunday, but I went out to my sister's. I had to hold my dear little newborn nephew. He was soooo little! Now my little guy seems like a giant! ha ha! I took pictures:

OK, for my work out today I did HC Extreme #1 for 50 minutes. MM back, shoulder and core, HSC abs/core and cool down and stretch. It took me a good 20 minutes to really get into my work out today. I think I was still sleeping. During the cool down I think I could have fallen asleep on the floor!:eek: ;-) I didn't have anytime this weekend to work out, so I may add in a run later on the treadmill. We will see!

Lora ~ I'm glad you're catching up on your sleep.

Terri ~ How is your family doing?

Nicole ~ I hear you on decluttering. I've already started my ds6 closet. I'll be working on all the summer clothes that won't fit him next year.

Susan ~ How are you feeling? I see that you tackled KPC.

Diane Sue ~ Thanks for the advice on enjoying all the little moments too. Time is just flying by! :-(

Hi everyone else! My friend, Bob, the heating guy will be here soon.;-) So, I have to shower up really fast!. I'll check back later. Sorry so long - my coffee must be kicking in! ;-)

Dallas
 
Marietta ~ You go girl! You got some great work outs in this weekend! You made up for my lack of exercise. LOL! No, Teri is my Aunt. We were asked that quite a bit that weekend. She would laugh and say that's good for me, but not for my niece. :7 Thanks about my kids. I'll keep them! :7 And the workout room.
 
Dallas, what great pictures!! Awwww, baby. What a little doll. I have 100 more days to go before my "little doll" enters the world.:)

Wow, Marietta, you had great workouts over the weekend. I like CTX kickboxing. It's a lot of arm work though. Or, maybe it seems that way since I lifted first.


Susan C.M.
 
Nicole ~ How did those push ups go? }( I finally got the downstairs done. I'm heading up to tackle the bedrooms and that closet.

Thanks Terri and Susan! Susan - only 100 more days? Wow! That went by so fast. Well, it always goes by fast when you're not the one pregnant. ha ha! That's how I always felt anyway.

Dallas
 
Dallas - Nice pictures. You're so pretty. Do you have all boys?

I just finished doing Slim & Sleek with Ellen Barrett. It's aerobics and light weight work. I did the aerobic segment twice. It was fairly easy, but it was a good second workout for today.

I ended up having to sit at the doctor all morning. I have an infected sebaceous gland, or hair follicle or something down yonder. He gave me antibiotics to be on for a week (yuk...they make me so sick) and if it doesn't go away, I have to go back and possibly have it lanced. Sorry if I grossed anyone out.

I just bought concert tickets to go see Seether with my 2 nieces (ages 17 and 20) in Cleveland on Saturday, November 5th. I'm the one who wanted to go and my husband doesn't want to go, so I recruited my nieces for a girls night out ....Hard Rock style!! This ought to be interesting. I haven't been out without my husband for 18 years!! I know, scary!
 
Evening Ladies!!

The get together was sooo great!!! I loved it and the girls. I miss them already!!:-( I hope we can get together again soon. I imagine you have checked out Dani's thread and looked at the pictures. I need to get the few that I have downloaded and added to my picture trail. The Cheesecake Factory was sooo yummy. We all sampled each others cheesecakes! Our waiter was a great sport and had about as much fun as we did. I ended up doing the levitation hold in the middle of the resturant. lol! Dani has a wonderful (NOT) picture of me and I believe a few others snapped a shot too.

Dallas-You have a very handsome nephew!! Congratulation! I hope we can meet sometime.

Lora-how is your foot?

I hope everyone else is doing well. I have tons of laundry to get done and I am very tired, our 3 year old cannot sleep without being in every spot on the bed at least once. haha. Our trip back from Wisconsin was long (5 1/2 hours). We were traveling all weekend.

I will try to catch up to what everyone has been up to tomorrow. Have a good night.
 
Hi everyone,
Late as usual. I had 4 of my 5 grandchildren today because school was out.The other grandchild had school. They wore costumes and I took pics and mounted them so they could decorate the frame with halloween stickers. We had goodies and colored and played games. Then they wanted to watch Lemony Snickettes (sp)as their scarey movie. My Dad called and is arriving tomorrow. So I was trying to keep things done here. I cleaned carpet last night and tried to have the house ready. Today I baked pumpkin cream cheese bars as I know everyone will be over. Anyway today I did CTX Power circuit w/u and cardio lower circuits, Body Max lower circuits followed by the step portion, then PP calves, shins, inner outer thighs 3 x and SS abs, and CM segment#3
I figure I will have Wed off and I am not sure after that as I will have company. I got a call from dh this morning to make sure I did not worry if I caught news of the bomb that went off in Baghdad. Last time they lost windows and it was on Fox when he called me. At least I know he is alright. I gather more windows were out.

Terri, I think I had my fill of pizza for awhile:)

Dallas, thanks for sharing the pics. The children are cute. Babies are so precious. All of that sweet innocence

Sabrina,it looks like you had fun. I hope to join in something like this someday

Have a great evening,
Diane Sue
