Hi Everyone,
I'm back from Vegas. Yesterday was a LONG travel day and I only got 5 hours of sleep (not too far from the normal for me) and I seem to be fighting a stomach bug......but I worked out this AM cuz I feel so fat from vacation!

This morning I did the new Cathe DVD. I did the Step/Weights Circuit and a 10 minute stretch from the new DVD. The cardio flowed very well and was easy to follow. The music was generic. This would be great to listen to your own music and do since it's so easy to follow (note to self). I added impact to all of the aerobics and kept my heartrate at around 140 to 150....which is decent for me. The weight segments were a bit weak. I will use weights on the leg segment next time. All in all, it is a good workout to transition back from a vacation or illness or on a day you want a mindless workout. The $29.99 was worth it for the stretch DVD alone. This is the main reason I got this DVD.....as when you're in your mid 40's ...stretching is so important and I don't always have 20 minutes.

I have a lot of catching up to do.....I'll be back later to read some old posts, etc. I hope everyone is doing well and it's good to be back into the swing of things (sort of).

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Good morning everyone!!!

I'm still in Atlanta...I'll be leaving this afternoon.

I managed to get up this morning and do 30 minutes on a cross-trainer machine which is like an elliptical and then I did some weight lifting in the hotel fitness center. I worked out about an hour and fifteen minutes and it was pretty good...

Welcome back Lora! How was your trip?? You already have the new workouts I see. I think I expected them to be as you described. I didn't get them because I talked my sister into getting them and I told her that if she did not like them I would buy them back from her...plus, I can take a peak at hers and see if they are something that I will actually use.

I doubt that I'll be checking back in today...as I'll be in route back home.

Keep those affected by Katrina in you prayers....they need all the prayers they can get.

Bye for now...

Good Morning Everyone!

Hi Lora! So glad you're back! Sorry to hear you have a stomach bug. Be careful if you start getting a sore throat. The doc said that the thing my dd and I had stomach pain is associated with it. How was Vegas?

Terri ~ How are you feeling today? Getting back on track? I have 1 work out left for the August rotation. I did the last week backwards, so I could start out with weights after being sick. Cardio is still kicking my tush right now!:-(

Sabrina ~ I love your new truck! I've seen the Avalanche before just never knew the name of it. Can you fit three kids back there?

Nicole ~ I may start my pantry today. We'll see though. I still have my dd home, but she's doing sooooo much better!:D

Hi Susan and Marietta!

I got up early to do ME, but I still have the abs to do. I don't have Ab Hits, so I'll add on a CM segment. I ordered the Cathe CD vol #1 from this website. It should be coming any day. I can't wait to add it to my iPod.

Have great work outs everyone!

ETA: Marietta, you and I must be on the same wave length or the same schedule. ha ha! Have a safe flight back home! That's great you still worked out while on the road. I don't know that I would. Of course, the opportunity has never presented itself.

Sabrina you and your new truck look GREAT!! Enjoy!! Lets just hope the gas prices go down soon!!

Dallas today I am going back to Day 4 and doing my bathroom!! Good luck with your pantry!!

I have been doing good with the book! Thanks for keeping me motivated!! I love hearing what you all have accomplished!! It gets me going again!!

Marrietta sounds like you got a good workout in already!!

Take care,
~Nicole

Oh today I will do PLB and PS legs floor work!!
 
Hello ladies,

Welcome back Lora!! Did you have a great trip? Thanks for the info on the new dvd's. I didn't order them as I am hoping she puts out something more advanced and if nt I still have some I need from her old ones.

Dallas-I am feeling better about being back home and dealing with reality :) Yesterday doing a lot of working out got my endorhins flowing and boosted my mood:) I too am going to tackle my pantry today!

Marietta-Have a safe trip home! You are so good to go to the fitness center on a travel day:)

Nicole-Yeah I think by the weekend I should be feeling that life is good again here at Home Sweet Home:) My workouts are keeping me sane and my spirits up. I also am looking forward to the long weekend!!

Sabrina-I love your new Avalanche! How nice it is named after our hockey tean in colorado :) Enjoy!

Today I need to do one more workout from the aug 05 to have it finished. Yesterday I did my own workout stuff as I felt I needed the whole body worked hard. I did lowmax. musclemax. then fittv version of S&H bi's and tri's. That did the trick for me! I forget what workout I need to do so I have to go look at the rotation. I will check back later.

Hi Ladies! Isn't it a great day!?! I have a new truck the weather is beautiful (at least at the moment). I have things I have to go do so I will get to drive my Avalanche around.

Lora-Glad you are back! I wont get my new DVD's until tomorrow.:-(

Dallas, Terri, & Nicole-I am still on Day 5 and 6 (since they are kind of a together thing). Maybe by the weekend I can get past them and go to day 7. I don't even know what it is?

Marietta-good workout!

I believe we will be over at the track again this evening helping our oldest son out with getting his mile done sooner. Trying to go slow and get him used to it first. We told him one of these days he will be able to do the whole mile without walking some.

I hope the gas prices go down soon. The Avalanche has a 31 gallon tank!! Makes me cringe thinkings if the price is $3 a gallon it would take $93 to fill the tank. Good thing I have a full tank! I also get another after this one is empty. (I drive a hard bargain)! LOL!!

I will check in later! Have a great day!!

Hi guys,

This morning I did the new step and strength workouts. I really liked the step one a lot! The length was perfect and the intensity blasts were tough, but didn't kill me either.

Lora, I agree about the strength one. I used my 8-pound medicine ball with squat and overhead presses. I couldn't do the push ups and bicep curls with the ball, so I subbed another exercise.

Marietta, the choreography Cathe uses are bits and pieces for other step routines. I bet you could incorporate these moves in your classes.
Have a safe trip back!

Dallas, I'm so glad to hear your dd is getting better!

I'm getting called away....I guess I've got to do some work. hahaha
I'll check back later.

Hi - checking in again. I still haven't got caught up with things. I feel so out of it. I've been doing laundry and sorting thru mail, etc.

The comment about the Hurricaine got me thinking. Did this affect anyone in our group? This really looked devastating......I was watching it on the news in Vegas.

I had a good time in Vegas...but as usual, I ate too much, not necessarily bad stuff, just stuffed myself cuz it was so good. I ate more than I normally do at home. The weather was great. One day it was a bit hot at 113 but the rest of the time it was 103 and I love it any where from 90 to 100 with the low humidity. I played a heck of a lot of video poker and my hubby is teaching me Black Jack also. Next trip, we'll play Black Jack together. We didn't win any big jack pots, but better luck next time. I wanted to see a concert while we were there, but there were no good bands playing. Seether is playing the House of Blues this weekend! I wish we could have been there for that! I love that band.

I hope everyone is doing okay and nobody lives down South by the Hurricaine.
 
I'm back! I added the KM blast after my abs today since I didn't get that in yesterday. I can't wait to see what the "big" announcement is and what the Sept. rotation will be. One more work out for me and I'll be done with the August rotation! I haven't done Imax 3 all the way through! Hats off to you girls who have!! Wish me luck tomorrow!:) :)

Lora ~ Glad you had fun in Vegas.

Terri ~ How's that pantry coming along? I'm just about to get started. I definitely won't get it done today.

Nicole ~ How's your sister?

Sabrina ~ That's awesome that you're working with your son for that mile. My dd has to run a half mile timed in the beg. of school and then again at the end to see how she has improved.
I know last year she took a minute off her time.

Marietta ~ did you get home yet?

Got to go...

Hi everyone,
I am just doing a quick check in. I have been enjoying my time with my dh. I have fit in some workouts over the last three weeks. The first mainly off and the last two using a lot of Cathe premixes to get in intense cardio and weight work for lower and upper.
Today I did Body Max through the lower cardio circuits followed by CTX Power Circuits cardio and lower.
We went camping for a few days the second week. I will be back next week. We have had lots of family gatherings. I had my birthday with everyone here at home. DH wanted to be here for my birthday and will come back in March for our anniversary. BTW happy Birthday Susan. I hope everything is going well. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer when my youngest daughter was a baby. It came out that there was more when they did surgury. My youngest was born 26 years ago this month. I hope everything works out for you.

Diane Sue.

Hey, WD, we're glad you got to spend time with your DH!!! Send him our regards! How long till he's back for good?
Just Do It! :)
 
Hi Honeybunch,
Hopefully he will be back for good in May. There is always a chance that he will stay longer. We have really taken advantage of every moment together.
Thanks
