Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Cathe's Low Impact Step followed by YBB Masters Goddess Abs (20 min abs). I added impact to the step workout to make it harder, but since I still feel bad, I didn't push too hard. If I do push too hard when I'm congested like this, I have an asthma attack...so I have to be careful.

I guess I'm going to work today ....as I sit here typing and fully clothed with makeup. I REALLY hope the day isn't too busy and stressful. It also sucks having to be sick on your personal day and weekend...but oh well...such is life.

Since I have been sick all week and since starting my new job, I haven't had much time to read the threads and I'm so out of the loop on what's going on with everyone. I'm sorry ....I don't mean to seem insensitive.

I did notice Sabrina went to a concert from yesterday's post. What concert did she go to?

Nicole - I'm sorry you had to have your son hospitalized. I saw your mention of the lower body slimming down with Slim Series. I was waiting to take a few light days and a day off after my SS rotation before I weighed in and reported....but then I started my period and I'm not sure where I stand at the moment, but I think I may have lost 1-2 pounds and my pants are just ever so slightly looser, but I still feel too jiggly down there...ugh!!! I think I'm going to do another week of the Firm with some Cathe thrown in before I start a Cathe rotation.

Have great workouts everyone. I'll try to check in later if I can from work.

P.S. I'm really DYING for the new Cathe DVDs. I wonder when we'll get them. She hasn't been around much lately.
 
Hi Everyone

I can't belive how fast this week has flown by! It is almost the weekend thank goodness:) So today I am going to do Mix it up and imax2 and some abhits. I am giving the upper body a day off from heavy weights.

Lora-Sorry to hear you are still feeling bad. I will be anxious to hear your shoe review.
Dalals-You may think I am crazy for this but I love malls at Christmas time! I miss my son being young so 2 years ago I had my picture taken with Santa:) It was a blast!
Sabrina-how was the concert
Marietta,Nicole Diane SUe and Susan, Hope you all are well today and I will check back later.

Terri
 
Hey Buddies!!

This morning I did BodyMax (warmup, step, and power circuits)...don't know yet what the rest of the day will bring.

I can't believe it's December already...where did the time go??!! I did purchase my first Christmas present yesterday...I'm further ahead than I was at this time last year...woo-hoo!!!

Lora - Hope you have a good day today...glad to hear you may have lost a few lbs....know you been working hard at it. I read your post from last night...wow! Your boss sounds...how can I put it nicely...interesting!! It seems to me like she likes you though...

Terri - There are lots of people that enjoy the malls during the holidays...sounds like you're a "people" person...nothing wrong with that!! This is your time of the year then...can you do my shopping for me??

Dallas - To answer your question...The thread I posted about being born in the 1930-1970's want sent to me by my mom. It was so powerful to me that I had to post it. I don't start many threads...but couldn't resist that one. When I run in the cold, I definitely cover my ears...I don't wear a hat, but I wear one of those head band things that cover you ears...couldn't make it without that and of course some gloves. Another good thing to have is dri-fit clothes as your first layer of clothing to keep the moisture away from your body...it keeps you from getting too cold.

Hi to all the follow...I'll be back later!!

Hi Everyone!

Today I did MIS. I like that one. I don't think I've ever done that one. The pauses normally would annoy me, but it was nice to get some good stretching in while Cathe explained form, etc.

I was planning on getting the kids on the bus and heading straight for a run on the treadmill. However, while at the bus stop, a driveway away, a lady plowed right into our mailbox. It's snowing here and the roads are very slick. Two buses couldn't make it up the hill. She rolled her window down and said that she would have to come back. So, now I'm waiting and waiting. I did get the plate number, just in case. I'm really hungry, but I don't want to eat before I run. My dh already looked up our mailbox and it will cost $425!! Holy smokes! We have to have a certain mailbox in our sub-division.

Sorry for the long ramble.

Terri ~ I love to shop, but hated the lines last night. People aren't exactly jolly little elves. LOL! I actually start talking to everybody in line. ha ha. I'm sure I irritate people when I'm talking to the check out lady too.

Marietta ~ That post in the other thread brings back so many childhood memories. Boy, did we have fun and I probably always looked like a rugrat! ETA: Seriously, I was strongly considering Body Max, but decided I wanted to run after weights!:)

Lora ~ Have you ever tried Airborne? You can get it at most drug stores. You can check it out here Airbornehealth.com

Have a good day! I sure hope this lady shows up.

Morning ladies!!

Last night was a blast!!! I would pay to go see Keith Urban again tonight it was so great!!! I will post some pictures by tomorrow. I have to get them all downloaded, I only took 86 I think! LOL!! I have to charge the battery first, it died. He had pretty great seats. I would love to be in the front row though. lol I have a headache and my ears are still ringing and I am very tired. Keith played for 2 hours. Little Big Town opened for him and they played for 30 minutes. They were really good too. We got home at 1:00 am.

Lora-sorry you are still not feeling well

Terri-this week has flown by. I have to go to class tonight and it seems like I was just there. I hope I don't fall asleep. lol

Marietta-lol about your Christmas shopping! I take it you don't like to shop? I am done. I have stocking stuffer things to buy but that is it.

Dallas-Sorry about your mailbox. I hope the lady comes back on her own. DH said he went past a lot of people in the ditch this morning on his way in. Not good. I have to go about the same way to class tonight. I shouldn't have a problem in the Avalanche though.

Sorry for the long post! I tend to ramble on and on when I am tired! lol Have a great day ladies and I will check back later.
 
Hello again!

Marietta I would love to do your shopping for you :)
Sabrina-glad you had fun at the concert and drive safe tonight!
Dallas-What a bummer about the mailbox!

It is cold here but no snow:( I want snow at holiday time but afterwards I am ready for spring :)

Hi everyone,

This morning I did Power Hour.

Lora, sorry you're not feeling well, especially since you have the day off tomorrow. When people are nasty, I'm not as nice as Marietta. I call it like it is. Your boss is a B! (I'm only a little polite since it's Cathe's site). I had an assistant who use to drive me bonkers! The only time I absolutely lost it was I had a trip in So. CA where I had to meet a lot of customers. I had her get the addresses and phone numbers for me. When I'm ready to go, SHE GAVE A PO BOX FOR THE ADDRESS AND THE OFFICE PHONE NUMBER! It was very early on a Saturday morning. She was lucky I didn't contact her at that very moment. The meeting was at a warehouse, so the address was not published. Very, very maddening.

Marietta, I liked your comment about me taking it easy this month. You know though, I'm still on a six day on one day off schedule. I only have about 7-8 weeks left, so I'm pretty pregnant now. hahahaha I'm glad I've been able to do Cathe workouts this whole time. I have some FIRM DVD's in my Netflix queue just in case.

Nicole, I haven't received Firm It Up yet. They must be sending it from China! hahaha I should have it very soon. I'll let you know what I think of it.

Dallas, a $425 mailbox! I think mine was $15. She better go back to your house and replace it. Although, for that money, I'd run for the hills! hahahaha, just kidding.

Sabrina, I can't wait to see your pictures. By the way, TLP is Tracie Long Productions. She does functional fitness workouts. Lora knows more about them than I do.

Terri, It's getting cold here. We might get a little snow this weekend. I've been to Denver (that's where you are, right?) I really like it there. I loved so much of CO. I used to travel all over the country with my job before having my son. I don't miss it too much though.

Dian Sue, how are you feeling?

I'll check back later!
 
Still waiting...

Susan ~ I know! I was shocked when dh printed out our mailbox. When we moved in he took care of all of that. You are TOO funny girl! I can't wait to hear how you like Firm It Up.

Sabrina ~ Can't wait to see your pix! Glad you had fun!

Terri ~ I would love to visit CO.

Nicole ~ How's your son?

Diane Sue ~ How are you feeling?

It doesn't look good for that run today. :-( At least, I'm catching up with laundry and other house stuff though.

I'll be back later.

Good afternoon,
Well, I am feeling somewhat better today.Kind have the sniffles and a mild cold left over. Today I decided to take another break day from the treadmill. I think my legs are starting to get used to it.
Today I did W/u and lower MM, L&G floorwork, CTX power circuit step and lower only, Step Blast cardio and stretch. I am still hoping to get in some calf work and ab work with the Bowflex. Since I just ate lunch I will wait awhile and get it in before I go get the other three grandchildren.

Dallas, I'm sorry you are dealing with your mailbox. I hate when that kind of thing happens. That is one expensive mailbox. Mine is a mail slot in the front door so I am not likely to have that happen.

Sabrina it sounds like you had fun last night. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Marietta, my aunt sent me that post you put up a while back. It is interesting what we all went through and survived. I remember having a car seat that just hooked over the back of the seat to raise the child up so they could see out the window. Now we have someone else trying to protect us and many new more resistant viruses and new hazards. Makes one wonder.

Hi to everyone

>Dallas...are you hungry??
>
Marietta ~ Yes, I was! I finally gave in and made my egg white omelet. No run. Oh well, I concentrate on a long run tomorrow now.

The lady finally came back and she apologized. It's funny I found myself apologizing to her. It was more about the cost of that stupid mailbox. Her daughter lives in here, so I'm sure she knows we're not making this up. I can't believe there was no damage to her car.

The police said if the homeowners association is making us have a certain mailbox and this is the third time this has happened that we should just build a brick one. I said good idea, but it's against their rules. :-( Now I know why the neighbor across the street has a big boulder next to his mailbox!

Diane Sue ~ Glad you're feeling better. Isn't that crazy - the cost of that box!

Have a great evening everyone!

Hi guys...thought I'd do an afternoon check-in.

So...at lunch today, I did a treadmill hill workout (it's the hill progression)...good workout.

Dallas - glad the lady came back...that's quite an expensive mailbox...goodness!!

Sabrina - Glad you had a great time last night...can't wait to see your pics. Sabrina, I don't hate shopping...I just lack time. When I get off work I have my kids and it's kinda hard to shop for them when they are around.

Diane Sue - I was asking my mom one day about the summer heat...these days parents tell their children it's too hot to be outside and I don't EVER remember my mom telling me that...so I asked her is it hotter now then it was back then...she said Nope...kinda figured that. We've taken the fun out of living...what a shame. Looks like you got it some good legwork...

Nicole - Think you have company don't you?? You owe us a BIG update when you get back...you got that??

Susan - I know you still workout a lot, but you rotation looks a little lighter...now for the average pregnant woman..they could not come close hanging with you...You bad girl..you bad!!

Terri - So are you done with your Christmas shopping?? It would not surprise me one bit if you were...

Later...taters!!

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 :7 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:D 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:p 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 :D

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.
