Morning Ladies -

This morning I did 45 minutes of Step Blast follwed by 35 minutes of moderate intervals on the eliptical. I then did ME Abs and stretch.

I wanted to get a longer session in this morning, as I'm planning on going Christmas shopping today (got my Christmas Club check in the mail and better use it before I spend it on something else) and I probably won't have time for a 2nd workout today. As you can tell, I'm not working today. When I got a hold of my boss yesterday, I left shortly after. Now I'm on a major job search.

I looked at the last week of the Oct rotation and I'm not really into it, so I think I'm going to do my own thing next week and then see what's posted for November.

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Good Morning,

I spent half the night hacking up my lungs! I've got a VERY bad cough! At least right now my lungs are still clear.
My son has today off of school, not tomorrow. So, my rotation will have to be altered. I will be doing KPC a little later.
Between the cough medicine and the coffee combo. I'm not up to it just yet.

Lora, I’d like to get started on my Christmas shopping as well. Maybe this weekend. Lots of luck on your job search!

Dallas, It really doesn't matter if you do cardio or weights first. Usually, you start with what you need/want to focus on. Such as gaining strength, weights first. However, when you weight train fist, your body uses more glycogen for fuel, and if you lift for about 45 minutes, your muscles and deplete a lot of your glycol stores. So, when you go to do your cardio, your body is forced to use fatty acids faster for energy.

Sabrina, how was Bunko last night? Did you have the pie, or were you good and ate the broccoli?

Nicole, I'm still sticking with the Oct. rotation I made up. I don't split up my workouts. Mainly for time reasons. It's just easier for me to do it all at once.

Marietta, do you run every single day?

Hi Terri!

Susan C.M.
 
Good Morning!!

This morning I did CTX Step and Intervals and PS (chest, shoulders, & triceps). Wanted to to CTX chest but I ran out of time. I'll probably do the elliptical at lunch today.

Lora - Christmas shopping sounds wonderful!! Enjoy your day and good luck on your job search.

Susan - Sorry you feel so badly. I don't know how you are going to manage KPC today, but let us know how it goes. I don't run everyday but I probably could. Good thing I know better. I think this week so far I ran Monday and Wednesday. I probably won't run again until Saturday and Sunday. On a given week, I may run any where from 3-5 times/week. I just kinda play it by ear and when I feel I need to back off, I'll do the elliptical for lesser impact. Exercise is a good way for me to release a lot of stress. I keep alot inside of me so it keeps me sane.

Have great workouts today everybody...I'll be back later!

Morning Ladies!

Lora-Have fun Christmas shopping! Good luck with the job search too.

Susan-I hope you feel better soon. Bunko was a lot of fun last night. The ladies loved the BBQ's! The mini cheesecakes and pumpkin pies were a hit too. I ended up having one of each before the day was over. :7 There was no choice between the pumpkin pie and the broccoli! It had to be the pumpkin pie. Yum!

Hi Marietta, Terri, Dallas, Diane Sue and anyone my memory lapse has forgotten. Sorry. I am dead tired. My youngest, Ethan, did not sleep last night. His head was stopped up so he whined all night in our bed. :-(

It is raining here so there will be no power walk today. I will have to see what I can possibly get in later. I have to find some time to get packed for the Chicago trip too.

Have a great day ladies and I will be back later. :)
 
Morning Everyone!

I hear you Sabrina on being dead tired. I think I finally feel asleep around 3A!x( I think all my trips to the bathroom kept me awake. If I didn't know any better I'd think I was prego. I'm not. I guess I drank too much water yesterday. So, I didn't get up at 5A to work out and I have the heating/air conditioning guy here. He got here at 8A and probably won't be done until noon. I hope. I plan on at least getting a run in today.

Sabrina ~ Sounds like you had a lot of fun last night minus being up all night. The girls in here keep asking me to play bunko.

Susan ~ Sorry you feel so bad. Thanks for the info on cardio/weights first. I always like to get the cardio out of the way.

Terri ~ Is your dad home?

Marietta ~ The rotation I'm doing is a good one, but I think I'd like to change it up. Did you do they whole thing when you did it? I'll finish out week three and go from there.

Lora ~ Have fun shopping! That always puts me in a better mood! Are you completely done at your job now?

Nicole ~ Are you serious about doing a challenge involving that PS rotation?

Hi Diane Sue!

Yesterday me and the kids raked the leaves and played in them. I took so many pictures. I'll have to get them in a picture trail so you can see them. Too cute!

Have a great day!

Dallas
 
Hello ladies,

Today will be a run and legs and glutes and abs fromKPC.

Lora-SO you don't have to go back there ever, right? Have fun christmas shopping!
Sabrina-Are you excited about the chicago trip?
Susan-I too must ask did you eat the pies :)
Marietta-Where do you work? Iknow you have probably said but I forget. I love the ctx workouts!
Dallas-Did you get a uniterupted workout in?
Diane Sue-Whereand how are you? :)

I will be back later :)

Terri
 
Dallas-I hate getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (I get up a couple times a night most nights). You should play bunko, it is a lot of fun, especially if you get the right girls together. LOL!

Terri-I am very excited about the Chicago trip. I have no idea what I am going to pack though!! x(

Hi Nicole!! I knew I had forgotten someone this morning! Sorry! :)

Be back later!!
 
Hi Dallas- We must have been posting at the same time! Yes my dad went home from the hospital. He seems to be feeling better and no more chest pains.

Sabrina-Have a wonderful trip and take pics
Nicole-I forgot you as well:( I sent you an e-mail about the thread that I didn't get. Did you get it? If not here is my e-mail address [email protected] Thanks!

Terri
 
Sabrina ~ Pack warm clothes. Well, I'm sure you know that. You're weather can't be all that different. It's raining here today too.

Terri ~ Glad your dad is home.

Marietta ~ I just read yesterday's check in. Can you believe my full name has 27 letters?! My full name is Dallasandra. Thanks for saying you liked my name. I always hated it when I was a kid. Lots of jokes. I've never used my full name, maybe I should have when I was younger.

My son's bus is coming. The heating guy is still here! Ughh!

Dallas
 
Hi Everyone -

Susan - Sorry you're so sick. I know you'll bounce right back cuz you have a strong immune system when you exercise. Take it easy until you feel better.

Sorry to those who didn't sleep last night! I know all about that.

I just finished laundry and went and got my flu shot and now I'm off to Christmas shop.

Yes, I'm done at the hospital. I just have to stop by the cafeteria in the main hospital every Monday morning and look at the job postings, as I'm still allowed to bid on jobs (if any come open). I also called the old hospital I worked at and spoke to a few people to let them know I'm looking.

Talk to everyone later. Gotta run.
 
Hey Guys!!

Sabrina - sorry about your lack of sleep...that should make for a long day and no walk - poor thing!! Have fun packing!!

Dallas - I did not finish the rotation...I got into my funk and didn't pick it back up afterwards and yes I'm still wandering with no clear direction these days...just doing whatever. Sounds like you had fun with the kiddies...can't wait to see pictures. Wow...you do have a long name. I didn't like my name either, but I don't like for people to call me "Mary" nothing against just didn't like it. My dad gave me my name...after the name of a town that he saw and he thought it was cute...Hmmmmm.

Terri - I'm glad your dad is out of the hospital and back home. I don't think I've ever mentioned where I work, don't think I've ever been asked. I work at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City...been here a very long time.

I did 45 minutes on the elliptical machine...went early because I needed to get away...I feel better now.

Take care...

Hey everyone,

I just got worse and worse... I put in KPC DVD and just stood there. I got the chills and feel awful today.:-(
I read from a couple of different websites yesterday it's ok to take cough medicine, even Nyquil (mmmmm, Mama likes that stuff).
I called my dr. to make sure and found out what I've been taking is really bad; DM Dimetapp and Vicks 44.
I hope I didn't mess up the baby!
I just took a little nap and am going out to get Robotussin, because I know a cough attack is on its way soon. Uggh.

Sabrina, are going to the White Sox game?

Dallas and Marietta, with you two talking about names, I've got to come up with a couple. I like the name Daisy for a girl. I'm stuck on a boy’s name. BTW, I like the name Mary. WHen I was little, I named my dolls Mary or Brenda.

Terri, I actually didn't have the pumpkin pie. I did have some of the apple pie, but it wasn't very good. I know, surprising, I eat everything else. I'm reading more of my BFFM book and hope I'm calculating the calories I'm SUPPOSED to eat wrong (I'll blame the cough medicine, hahaha).
 
Yeah Susan, I agree with Marietta.

Oh my, I reread what I wrote. I meant to say my full name has 27 letters (first, middle, last). My full first name is Dallasandra. I really should stop sneaking and posting. hee hee. I don't have a big boss. I have three little ones! ha! Mostly one little two year old boss. He's laying down the law today. My is he crabby today. Probably because we can't go outside because of the rain. He said, "I can use an umbrella!" :7

My fall pictures are downloading to my picture trail right now.

Also I bought some new workout shoes.....Ryka's. I can't wait to do my workout in am.

Marietta I ended up doing Mis for my upper body workout last night!! I love that workout!! Tonight I am doing nada I have company.
I know what you mean about following a rotation!! I am just doing whatever I feel like that day!! It is kinda fun for a change of pace:D

Susan I think I will join you next month!! I agree with the girls!! Sounds like you need to take a nice soak in the bath, and REST!! Btw I am listening to a book by Danielle Steel, and one of the main characters name is MaryStewart!! They call her MaryStewart I forget what her last name. That is her first name.

Dallas I love your name it is sounds so sexy!! Do you think that rotation is possibable??? I tell ya the thought is wonderful, but I wonder if I could really do it??? I worry about burn out!! I think maybe I could do it for a week if I really were to FOCUS!!! ha ha.
