Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Thursday Nov 3

Hi Everyone,

This morning I did HSC modifying some of the jumping on the rebounder. I had a tough time getting thru it. I think my body is trying to tell me something, but it's a shame I'm not listening! Just kidding.

I'm planning on taking a rest day on Sunday, as I have the concert Saturday night. I also was only going to do 1 workout today tomorrow and Saturday, but my husband finally took a look at my HRM and fixed it (something was not put back correctly after the battery was replaced) and now I want to do a 2nd workout to use it. I'm so hooked on my HRM! LOL!

I still have this migraine and low back pain now....and couldn't sleep again last night.......I think I may start early this month. I've been feeling kind of mental and my pain has flared up horribly over the last day or so. All signs of you know what. Hormones really are something. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Have great workouts. I've got more stuff to post on E-Bay, so it'll probably take me most of the day again. My husband gave me a few things also.
 
Hi Lora-I am sorry you are still feelinf poorly. I hope it will soon pass. Oh glad to hear your hrm is fixed!

Today I am runnin again for an hour an doing a leg workout. Probably Gymstyles. I will also do some abs.

How is everyone else today?

Marietta-I cracked up laughing at your comment yesterday :)

I will check in later.

Terri
 
Good Morning Everyone!

Lora ~ I couldn't agree more - "Hormones really are something. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." My dh knows when I'm PMSing! Some months aren't as bad. This month wasn't one of the good ones.;( So, is it pretty easy to set up the whole ebay thing, besides your connection speed. We have a Comcast connection that is super fast.

Marietta ~ We need some enthusiastic instructors at my club! I taught hi and lo-impact aerobics at a Bally's some time ago. That was a lot of fun. Shame on them they hired me without being certified though.

Terri ~ Well, I didn't actually order any presents yesterday, but I did do some leg work with the gazillion catalogs that we get. I got some good ideas. Now I need to find the time to place the orders. My ds2 is still freaked out. Last night was probably the worse night. :( After that night I was surprised to hear him on the monitor at 5:15A. He always gets me in the middle of cardio, but today I did weights first. :)

Nicole ~ What did the dr. say? I know awhile ago you said you made banana bread. Could you share the recipe? You can e-mail me if you have time. I have a recipe that I make all the time, but it could use a makeover. Hey, I can check out that Cathe e-cookbook.

Susan ~ I'm sure you're the cutest pregnant momma. You have worked out hard throughout this pregnancy. I'm sure you'll be walking out of the hospital in your regular clothes!:)

Sabrina ~ Good luck with your class!

Diane Sue ~ What cookbooks do you already have and use a lot. I could use a healthier cookbook. We've been doing a lot of grilled chicken, turkey burgers, and salmon, but I'm starting to get bored with the same old thing. Yesterday I made a beef stew, it was yummy!:9 Nice change.

Today, I did GS-Biceps and shoulders, then 40 minutes on the treadmill. I'm going down now for abs and a stretch.

Have a great day everyone!

Dallas - I wouldn't say it's "easy" to set up an account. It takes several steps and then if you don't have Paypal, you have to do that bit and get verified...etc. The think that took a lot of time for me (besides the slow connection) was having to read everything. My husband (in the past) did not want me to get Paypal and sell on E-Bay, so I made sure I read everything really well and knew what I was getting into....but I'm still not sure how everything works just yet. I guess I'll figure it out as I go along. I hope I don't end up losing that much money on some of the stuff..as there are all kinds of fees involved and the first couple of things I posted, I was not aware of some extra fees. I think I've racked up $20 in fees already...and I'm not sure if I think you pay it even if you don't sell...not quite sure. I don't have the patience to go back and read the fine print. Maybe I should! ugh!

I don't know if I should do a 2nd aerobics session today or not. I think I might do a YBB Live. They're so much fun. I'm definitely only doing one workout tomorrow and Saturday though. I guess I better get ready to overtrain my body with Slim Training! oh NO!!!! I don't know if I can do it.
 
Good Morning!!

This morning I did RS. I had been watching for a while (during treadmill workouts) and decided to give it a go since I was wanting something a little less intense. I didn't do the entire workout, but I did the warm up and the first 2 combinations. It was fun, I didn't get my heartrate up very much, but I really wasn't wanting to anyway. After RS, I did PS Shoulders and Biceps.

Lora - Yeah...Hormones are something else but unfortunately we can't do a darn thing about them. How luckly women are!!

Terri - Looks like you have a good workout planned. My legs are pretty tired because I have hit them pretty hard this week. You know I was telling the truth in my comment yesterday...just havin fun with ya!!

Dallas - You know although I am certified to teach, I don't have a problem with non-certified instructors as long as they can effectively teach a class. I know you must have been able to do that otherwise they would not have hired you. I know some certified instructors that are lousy...so who's class would you rather attend? Know what I mean?

I'll probably do a short run at lunch today. Today unlike yesterday I'm sticking to my guns and keeping it really simple.

I'll check back later...

Well Hello there!

This morning I did PS Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, then MIS Chest, then Jillian Michaels Shape up Front ~ instead of LowMax interval 3-7. Shame on me!
I'm glad I rented this workout on Netflix. I put it back in the mail today. It was a decent cool down. I'm just mad at myself for thinking I could replace it for a 'segment' of Cathe's. I do like her hair color though. Her personality would take a little get used to for me...and those pants!

Lora, boy do I understand your situation with hormones! I think I've been "tested" every way imaginable lately. I've had lots of ups and downs. I've only lost it a couple of times, being sad or mad.
We had dial up Internet for a while. I think if you use your computer everyday you're entitled to broadband. Think of the time you'll save!

Dallas, That's interesting you used to teach a class at Bally's.
Sorry your son is still scared. Is he usually good while you workout?
Thanks for the compliment. I don't know if I'll walk out in my regular clothes or not, but it's a nice thought.

Marietta, I don't have RS, but I have seen it on FitTV. You don't think it's challenging? I think that's why I like CTX a lot. It's short, but intense cardio. I'm also enjoying the PS series. I have Legs on tap for tomorrow.

Sabrina, good luck at your class tonight.

Hey Nicole! What are you up to today? What's this about banana bread Dallas mentioned? I love banana bread.

Hi Diane Sue and Terri.

Susan C.M.
 
Hello Everyone,
Well last night I did do a firm dvd, and today I did Super cardio sculpt and ab sculpt. I really enjoyed the ab scuplt it was rather relaxing with all the stretching and abs:D

Dallas the Dr. decided to to put her on Amoxicilian just to cover everything. She still had a HIGH fever again last night with 2 dose's in. I am spoiling her rotten:D

Lora I am psyching myself up to. I think I will go the distance}( HA HA HA

Marietta I am happy to hear you are enjoying the series. I just wanted to tell you I just LOVE what a positive person you are:D

Susan I have a recipe that I have made for years for the kids. I omit the nuts because they don't like nuts:7 I am going to post it here for you and Dallas and anyone else who might get the yen to bake some banana bread


BANANA BREAD

1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
3-4 mashed bananas
1/2 cup cold water
Nuts (optional)
2 1/2cup sifted flour ( Although I have never sifted:D)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla (I like to use a little smidge more;))


Cream together sugar and butter, Add eggs and bananas and blend. Combine dry ingred. and add alternately with water. Add vanilla and nuts. Bake at 325 for about 1 hour. Makes 2 loaves :D ENJOY!!

Diane Sue I so enjoy reading your rotations!! You really make the most of your dvds!!

Sabrina hope your class goes well today!! :7

Hey Terri hope you are feeling better today!!

Take care,

~Nicole
 
Well so much for my second aerobics. I waa in the middle of YBB Live and my husband called...so I answered. In the middle of the conversation, my youngest cat (long haired) had an "accident". He's had diarrhea the last few days and I was trying to see if it went away before being Vet bound. I even gave him his brother's Prednisone, but I think the mg is too low, as his brother is smaller than him. He's blondish furred also, so this was not easy to clean up. I think I need to go shampoo his butt!! He smells. He has a vet appt at 1:45. The funniest thing is that he keeps walking around sniffing the air like what smells and I keep telling him it's his bummy!!

I guess the 2nd workout just wasn't meant to be.

Diana Sue - How much was your Ionic Breeze, if you don't mind me asking. We had an air filter placed on our furnace last year, but it doesn't seem to help me at all. I'm thinking an Ionic Breeze and humidifier would be nice but my husband doesn't want to hear it. He can be stubbron with the cash.

Susan - My husband won't "let" us get a cable modem, as it's "too much money". OOOOOOyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Men!!!

I've gotta go try to clean my baby up some more before his appt.

Terry: YBB is part ballet, part aerobics, part ab work with a kundalini yoga warmup and stretch. They are short...only 35 minutes. I usually do the aerobic segment twice in them when I do them. They are sort of dancy and have different themes. They also have one that is part stretchy band toning and part aerobics and one that is all toning with the band. Again, short. There are different themes to each of the Live ones, one is Go-Go, one's Cardio Cabaret - Burlesque, one is Latin, one is Hip Hop Abs.
 
Hi ladies

Lora-Your workouts just tire me out reading them. lol Someday I hope to be able to work out more often. You are an inspiration. All of you ladies are!!! I hope your cat gets to feeling better soon. That would be terrible.

Dallas-good luck with your c-mas shopping. It is so hard to figure out what to get the kids and have them still want to play with it when c-mas is over. I hope your son gets over being scared soon.

Susan-how are you feeling?

Nicole-Thanks for the recipe. I love banana bread. Now I have to find some time to make it. lol I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon.

Terri-are you feeling better?

Marietta-have a nice run today. It is beautiful here. I would love to get out for a run but I wont be able to. :-(

Hi Diane Sue!! (and anyone I may have forgotten in my rush)

It has been a long day already! I had to take Ethan (3) to the doctors office to have his ears checked (from his tubes) and one is coming out. Plus I had to have an x-ray of his stomach since he swallowed a marble. He will be fine and the mable will make an appearance at the other end. Silly boy!!

Thank all you ladies for the well wished on my class this evening!! I really appreciate them. I am still scared to death though. It has been over 12 years since I have had any type of class. Scarey!!

I will check in with all you ladies tomorrow and tell you how it went since the class is from 6-9:30 and it is about 50 minutes away.

Have a great night!! See everyone tomorrow if I don't sneak back on here before I leave later. I will try. :)
 
Hi Everyone -

My baby has a bowel infection and a fever of 104. The poor baby. He has to be on antibiotics and if it doesn't go away, the doctor wants to do bloodwork to make sure he's not getting diabetes. He's overweight. I'm ashamed. He needs to start doing Cathe with me!!
 
Awwwww! Poor baby! I hope he gets better soon. If you can get him to do Cathe with you I would love to see a picture. lol ;-) How long have you had your baby?
 
Sabrina - He just turned 2 but since I was unemployed when we first got him from the animal shelter...I was a stay at home Mom and he got extremely spoiled and is very much a baby that needs a great deal of attention for a cat. I guess it's all my fault...but he's the neatest cat I've ever owned. He's sooooooo affectionate and he is very vocal and really loves attention. We must be having a bad day with our boys, as I just noticed yours swallowed a marble!! I remember doing stuff like that when I was little.
 
Lora-My other two boys never did anything like that. Well we did have a problem one year where one of the older two (when they were a lot younger) sucked the blue paint off of a Christmas ornament. Otherwise they never stuck anything up their noses or in their ears. The last one had to be interesting I guess. LOL!

Have a great evening! I have to leave for class in 30 minutes. I have butterflies in my stomach. :)
 
Good afternoon
This mornings workout was IMax 3w/u&intervals1-3then ME back,IM3#4-6,MEbiceps,IM3#7-9, ME triceps, IM3#10 & IM1#1&2, MEshoulders,IM1#3-5,MEchest, All of ME upper over again minus the w/u then ME abs and st..

Dallas the cookbooks I use the most are cooking light 1991 which has one of the family's favorites, a pork tenderloin, South Beach diet cookbook, Betty crocker new Choices has a lot of recipes I reuse,Linda Gossenheimer Low carb meals in minutes which is convenient because the recipes are for two. I have two Dana Carpender Low Carb recipes. I alter these a lot because of fat content but there are a lot of good recipes.

Lora, I bought the Smaller Ionic breeze for DH and it was 249.00. They offer buy one get one for half off. I think the full size is around 400 dollars. You can check it out at www.sharperimage.com

Nicole I love mixing up the dvd's to make new workouts. I would soon be bored if I didn't

Hi to everyone else
Diane Sue
http://wd.1ww.us
 
I'm back!

We had a mega playdate today. My ds6 had three boys from his class over today, so with my two I had 5 boys here! We played outside all day. I feel like I did an Imax right now! LOL! My dd got off the bus and invited two girls from the neighborhood over. The girls are easy though. I didn't even know that they were here.

Lora ~ I am so sorry about your cat.:-( Poor kitty. Boy, what is going on with our check-in?

Nicole ~ Thanks for the recipe. It seems similar to mine, but I don't recall butter. I'll be making some bread really soon. Have a lot of bananas to use up. I have a really good marinade I just used for my chicken. :9 My kids were even gobbling it up. Let me know if you want it.

Sabrina ~ I'm sure you're gone already. You'll do just fine!:)

Terri ~ Thanks for the abs suggestion. Well, you didn't actual suggest it to me, but I did MIS abs and Power Hour abs. I'm feeling my oblique's right now! }( I think you had done MIS and MM abs.

Susan ~ My ds usually falls back asleep, but not today. I guess it's kind of defeating the purpose of getting up early to work out. I just hope we get back on track really soon. He's quite irritable alllllllllll day long! :( It makes for a long day.

Marietta ~ I understand perfectly what you mean about some of the certified teachers. ;-)

Hi Diane Sue.

Have a great night!

Dallas

ETA: Diane Sue, we must have posted at the same time. I have that Meals in Minutes cookbook. I guess I need to dust it off. ha ha. Oh my, my dh bought one of those Ionic Breeze air filters for the work out room - that's how much he paid for it!!!:eek: I do notice the difference in the work out room though. What a workout. I'll have to try that one sometime!
 
Hey Guys...

I went for a 4-mile run at lunch and just taught a cardio/weights class. I'm done working out for the day.

Not sure what I'll do tomorrow...I'm off work, but I'll try to post.

Lora - sorry about your baby...hope he gets better soon!

Susan - I actually think RS is fun but just not very intense. Definitely a light day workout for me but I will do it again.

Nicole - Thanks for being so sweet. I get that from my dad...I'll have to tell you guys about him one day and then you'll understand me completely!! I don't like nuts in my bread either...may have to try your recipe.

Sabrina - Go get em girl!!! You do have a silly boy, but you know it had to happen. Isn't everyone supposed to swallow at least one marble in their lifetime??

Dallas - LOL!!! Don't you just live days like that??!!

Take care friends...be safe.
