Morning Everyone,

This morning I did Lowmax and Coremax Tough Core Premix. I only did a 45 minute premix of Lowmax because I'm still not feeling that well (can't seem to get this stomach flu thing out of my system - I kept my intensity lower also) and I didn't want to overdo it. I also want to try and start varying my aerobic lengths so my body keeps guessing and doesn't plateau.

I'll say it again, boy are my legs fatigued. This rotation sure works them! I still don't notice a change in mine yet! Darned genetics! My abs are looking more defined though.

Have great workouts everyone. I'll try to check in later from work, as long as my boss isn't there.
 
Hello everyone,

I woke at 4 this morning and I am not happy about that! I wanted to sleep until 7. Oh well... Today is a run and legs and glutes. I will do some ab work as well. Lora I love doing lowmax and I like your idea of varying aerobic lenghts. I try to do this as well except for when I run then it is always an hour. Maybe i need to shake that up as well.

A quick note to ask you all to pray for my sons gf. They have found tumors on her neck and she will see a specialist again on the third of october. They are staying positive but are stressed as you might imagine. It breaks ny heart to see my son so upset and she is such a lovely girl. I had dinner with my son last night and I can see that he isn't eating much these days. So please keep them in your thoughts!

The weather here is suppose to be much cooler today and I am looking forwrd to that :)

Hope everyone here is doing well and I will check in again later

Hi everyone,

Today I did MIC. I went all the way up to the intensity blasts on the step. I felt that was a good workout.

Lora, I know what you mean when you say your legs are fatigued! I did legs for about six days straight (between circuits, cardio and leg workouts). Mine were just too tired yesterday, so I did upper body. It takes a long time for noticeable changes to occur. Everyone is different, but usually a person needs a solid 12-week period of consistent training before changes are visible.

Terri, I will pray for your sons' gf. Are the tumors cancerous? Do you even know yet? My DH had large tumor on his upper back four years ago. I was really scared. Luckily, it was not cancerous and the dr. just removed it.

I'm so glad today is my last workday this week!!!

I'll check back later.

Good Morning All!

I am totally dragging today. U2 ROCKS!!!!!!! I just love them! I was kidding my DH this morning that if I wasn't married with kids and no other responsibilities I'd be a groupie and follow them around! ha ha :7 :7 :7 My foot isn't bothering me, but I think I'm going to keep the intensity low today because I'm so tired. I don't know what I'm doing yet. I'd like to focus on cardio since yesterday was a big weight day. I need a rotation to follow! LOL! I'm leaning towards Pinky's extended LM. I have to see how long that one will take though. My DS is having some kindergarten friends over today. Uh, why did I set that up after such a late night! ha ha

Terri ~ My sister had found lumps under her arm and neck. She had Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My sister is in remission now, but boy was it scary. My heart goes out to your DS and his girlfriend. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Lora ~ How's your foot? I should get one of those rebounders too. What kind do you have?

Nicole ~ Thanks for the calcium tip. I probably don't get enough of any vitamins after watching the Today show yesterday morning with Dr. Andrew Wiel (sp?).:-(

Diane Sue ~ You're husband IS such a sweetie! :) How thoughtful.

Susan ~ How are you feeling? How's your knee? That's what was hurting, right?

Sabrina ~ Yes, the boys kept me good and busy - soccer, football, basketball, etc. You know kids, they go from one thing to the next. Yesterday I took my two boys to the park. I'm loving this cooler weather. We've been outside so much lately.

Ok better get moving!

Terri - I pray for your son's girlfrend. So sorry to hear about that. I hope your foot starts to feel better. I'm still bummed that my feet aren't back to normal yet.

Susan - I have an Urban Rebounder. I emailed the company that I purchased it from and they said the will check with the manufacturer about the rip in it

Dallas - Wow....a U2 concert. That sounds great. I always go see The Red Hot Chili Pepepers when they tour. I love them. I also go to Aerosmith concerts occasionally.
 
Morning Ladies!!

I cannot believe it is the first day of fall. It sure does not feel like it here. Ick!

Lora-I hope you get to feeling better soon! Are you sure you shouldn't take a couple days rest? I hope you can get your rebounder fixed.

Terri-I will keep your sons GF in my thoughts. Keep us informed when they find out what the Doctor has to say.

Susan-How are you feeling?

Dallas-Sounds like you had a great time at the U2 concert. Try to take some time to rest later. DH and I are going to the Foo Fighters and Weezer concert on Oct. 4.

Diane Sue-Your DH is sure a sweetie!

Hi Marietta and Nicole!!

Got the estimate on having all the dents in my truck fixed from the hail. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Looks like I might get to take it in on Monday.

Walked the boys to school this morning. Depends on what the weather is like later but I might take the boys over to the track for a run. Looks like we are to get more storms later today (I just hope there is no more hail). If I don't get in a run I will find somethink else.

Have a great day!! I will check in later!! :)
 
Hi ladies!

Everyone must be busy today! I cannot believe how hot it is here today! I was really sweating when I walked to the schools to get my boys this afternoon.

Did any of you ladies buy Turbo Jam? I go back and forth on whether or not to buy it so I thought I would see what you thought. I need to read up on it some more at Beachbody. I guess the DVD's don't all come out at once?

I will check back in later. :)
 
Hello Everyone,
Tonight I plan on doing S&H BT, 30 min. cardio, and then a stretch.

Terri sorry to hear about your DS girlfriend. I will keep you all in my prayers!!

Dallas I missed the Today show. What did I miss??

Lora I hope you get your rebounder cover replaced!!

Sabrina it is hot here to!!

Hey Susan, Marietta, Diane Sue :)

Take care,

~Nicole
 
Evening ladies!

Nicole ~ Here's the link to Dr.Andrew Weil on the Today show. I guess it was a two part interview. I didn't see all of the first part and missed the second part completely. However, when he was talking about what your vitamin should contain, I compared to my current vitamin and it didn't measure up.

I want to read more of this when I have time. Here's the link:

You're work out looks good.

It's been quite here today. I've been enjoying the outside more with the kids these days. However, today was much hotter. I thought it was Fall?!

You guys have to try Pinky's Extended LM. That was a nice sweatfest!}( I still have to do a stretch. I'll do that after I get the kids to bed. So, I better go read some stories.

Have a good night!

Dallas

ETA: Lora, I bet Aerosmith would put on a great concert too. Sabrina, what does Foo Fighters sing or Weezer. They both sound familiar.

Sabrina ~ I don't think I can go for the Chicago GTG.:-( I'll e-mail you when I have time.
