Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Power 90 Masters Sweat 5-6 Cardio. It was fun but I could do without the 8 minutes of Yoga in the beginning after the warmp-up and move into the cardio (and next time, I will). I overslept again ....so that's all I had time for. My legs are still pretty sore from my Transfirmer workouts.
Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check in from work later.
 
Hello There!!

This morning I did a KPC premix - the one with intermediate drills, combos 2&3 and the high intensity drills. I got a nice sweat...I woke up late so that's all I had time for.

I hope everyone has a great day!!

I'll be back later...

Good Morning Everyone!

I woke up a tad bit late too. I did get in a 20 minute run. I did 100 walking lunges and CM #1 with the Jolie's 1# weights. Oooo, I felt that in my obliques! I had to stop and get the kids ready for school. I plan on doing GS-Chest and maybe another 100 walking lunges.

Nicole ~ Maybe check out the website where Diane Sue purchased her Jolie's. Maybe they have more colors available?

Hi to all who follow!

I'll try and check back to see what everyone else is up to today.

Morning Ladies!!

Seems like everyone is getting up late this morning. lol Class went well last night. We did some reviewing and at class tonight we will go over the chapters that we were suppose to do the other night when we got all the snow. I am hoping we can review some more too. My test is Thursday morning and I am very nervous!! There is only one other person taking the test at the same time I am so it should be fairly quiet. Thank goodness. I get distracted very easy. lol Today I plan on doing nothing but studying. I have a bunko christmas get together tomorrow night that I am going to have to cut short so I can study some more. We are going out to eat and exchanging gifts. Should be fun.

Looks like everyone is getting in some great workouts. I wish I could find the time.

Dallas-How are all the gingerbread projects coming?

Lora-How is work?

Susan-How is the baby?

Marietta-How is the shopping going?

Terri-Glad you had a nice time with your Dad.

Diane Sue-How is your DH?

Nicole-Did you and your DD go Christmas shopping yesterday?

I better get studying! Have a great day ladies! I will be back to see what everyone is up to. :)
 
Hi Ladies,

Wow I wish I would/could have slept later. I had a restless night. Today will be KPC and tear it up. I am going to give my upper body a rest from heavy weights today.

So I am starting to panic about the holidays and my dad. There are so many steps where I live that I don't think he could do them all. I have my son and his gf and friends of both of ours coming over both christmas eve and Day. So it will be hard to get time to go to his place. I have Christmas morning alone so I guess I could run over there then but have a ham and turkey to bake. So I am trying to figure this all out. He told me sunday he wasn't sure if he wanted to come to my place but I don't want him sitting alone either. Ok well I am sorry to pop on and be downer. THanks for letting me vent though!

Marietta-I wish we lived closer I woulld go shopping for you or with you. I love to shop!
Nicole-I did what you suggested yesterday and I heard back from her and she still had Burn it Up for sale! I am sending her a money order today! So I will have that one soon and the bands with it :) Thanks!
Sabrina-You will do great on your test thursday and I will be thinking of you that day. How exciting for you!:)
Lora-That is a good sign that the transfirmer gave you doms! I at this time will hold off though as I am so addicted to cathe and SS.
Diane Sue-I think of you a lot when I start feeling sorry for myself that my son will not be staying at my house on christmas eve and opening presents Christmas morning. I tell myself well at least you will see him sometime that day and Diane Sue won't see her DH that day at all. It helps me put things in perspective!
Susan-When do you goto the doctor again?
Dallas-Anymore parties in your holiday routine? We are having a christmas lights party friday night. We all go out and look at lights then come back here for food and fun. Watch a Christmas movie etc!

Terri
 
hey...

Just thought I'd check back in again...

I didn't sleep very well last night either...I'm coming down with a cold and at night I get real congested. Being congested is really my only symptom at least right now anyway. It really hasn't affected my working out too much. Just have to have kleenex handy.

Terri - I wish you could shop with me too!! I don't hate shopping I'm just very picky when it comes to buying gifts. I like to get gifts that are appropriate for the person to whom I'm getting it for and if I don't find the "perfect" gift for that person then I get frustrated...right now I'm pretty frustrated because I'm just not finding good gifts. I just need a day when I can take my time and just look...when I do get a chance, I'm rushing around and that just doesn't work.

You have quite the dilema with your dad....It would be better for him to be at you place because then he wouldn't be alone, but the stairs do present a problem. Can anyone (like a neighbor) help you? If that's possible I think you should try to get him there because you have lot to do. Or...can you cook the day before and still spend Christmas morning with him? You can warmup your ham and turkey while you visit...just set the oven really low.

Sabrina - I really hope all goes well with you studying and with your test. If you are anything like me, it will be very hard to focus, but just keep in mind that after this week you will be done!!

Dallas - I should probably do more walking lunges, but I usually do them outside and there is quite a bit of snow here now so I don't know if that will happen anytime soon.

I'll be back later...

Hi everyone,

I'm checking in late today!
This morning I did Cardio Kicks...well most of it. When the jumping started to increase, I kept feeling like I had to go to the bathroom (I know, TMI), so I hoped on my elliptical for some of the workout.

I'm going to try IMAX2 sometime this week and see how I do with that one.

Sabrina, I think the dinner is a great idea instead of trying to buy gifts for everyone.

Lora, do you think you got doms from the Transfirmer since the step is on an angle? I've read those w/o's are a bit easier than Cathe.
So I'm wondering.

Dallas, ahhh, walking lunges. I hardly do them. Like Marietta, I go outside, but when it's icy, forget about it! Where I live we get ICE storms more than snowstorms. A big one is coming Friday.

Terri, I've been going to the dr. every month. The visits may be more frequent in January, not sure. My next apt is Jan. 5 and the baby is due Feb. 2.
I had a step dilemma when I would have my grandfather over for dinner. We had cement steps in front and he was a big man. I almost lost him once.

Marietta, I hope your cold clears up soon. Take LOTS of Vitamin C. When I was "dieting", I'd take a chewable Vit. C at night, and I was like, YUUUUMMMY!:9

I tried to add a baby ticker, lets see if it worked. hahaha Can you tell I'm getting anxious?

Susan C.M.

Hello Everyone,
I have been a woman on a mission!!!! X-mas shopping is quite challengeing like you Marietta a few times I have left the store with NOTHING, but I have be asking lots of questions:7

Lora happy that your TF is working you in the right areas!!

Well I decided to go with Dance Dance revolution because....... I bought eye toy play to. Boy *WE* .... I mean the kids are going to have So much fun.... I bought 2 of the thick dance mats, and 2 of the dance dance revolution games that can be used with the eye toy that I bought!! Finally I have had sucess:D So Marietta there is still hope for you yet;)

Terri I am happy that you are getting that dvd. For some reason I think it is more cardio??? I am anxious to so your thoughts on this one as well!!

Dallas well I just got a email from ryp sports, and they only have yellow left........I don't think yellow would stay yellow to long????? I am going to check around some other sites!! Wish me luck!! I think these are going to work great with my SS workouts, and yes Diane Sue kick max and L&G!!!

Hey Sabrina have fun hit the books!!

~Nicole
 
Susan - Yes and Yes. I do think it's from the incline and working my legs slightly differently. I also think they are easier than Cathe workouts (as are most non-Cathe) and that's why I add my own impact/intensity to make them harder. I'm ready to go back to a Cathe rotation here soon!!
 
Hi...I'm back. I can feel the DOMS setting in on my legs already. I'm so glad I did that second set. }(

Marietta and Susan ~ Where do you do them when you do walking lunges outside? Oh, I can just see my neighbors now? :7 I do them the length of my workout room. I can get 10 across before I have to turn around. My ds2 was up when I was doing them and he thought he'd join in...LOL! It looked so cute!:7

Susan ~ I was wondering when you were going to get one of those little tickers. They're so cute! :)

Nicole & Marietta ~ I hear you on trying to find the perfect gift. Why do you think I start in October?! My dh's family doesn't need anything, so it makes it extra hard. :-( My in-laws were easy this year. We (me and my SIL) are getting a b&w drawing done with all of the grandkids.

Nicole ~ Good luck on your x-mas shopping mission. I hear we're in for some more snow. Good luck finding those Jolie's.

Sabrina ~ Good luck with your studies! And the upcoming test! We just have gingerbread cookies left to make next Monday with the 2nd grade class. I have four gingerbread houses on my counter right now!

Terri ~ Yes, that it quite the dilemma with your dad. Can he stay the night? Would that help at all? Or while you're cooking, could your son pick him up? When my dh's grandfather was alive they had a caregiver that went everywhere with them. He was a big help getting him in/out of the car and in/out of the house.

Lora ~ How long have you been using the transfirmer? Can you use it everyday? Yeah for DOMS!! }(

Diane Sue ~ Hey, that's a good idea to add those Jolie's for extra weight on my barbell. That's what I love about this site! I don't know that I would have thought of that. Thanks!

OK, back to the laundry for me. My ds got a PC game from the party this past weekend, so he and I have been playing it today. It's an I Spy software game. It makes you think!
 
Dallas I found some black ones for just a few dollars more :7 They had free shipping!! The guy at ryp sports said the they have stopped making them? Thats so cute about your ds!! My dd always likes to come, and work out with me. She jumps on the rebounder, and do the stretchs. We have such a good time.


Diane Sue I have some hand weights that are a 1 1/2 lbs and 1 pounds that look like doughnuts that I use to help me advance to higher wt. Now I have some more on the way:7 I am just hoping I will not get another email telling me they now longer have these??

Well I am going to go do Burn it up and listen to my book on tape


~Nicole
 
hey I'm back...

I went for a 3.5 mile run today at lunch. It was one with a really BIG hill...loved it!!

This evening my DD has a basketball game so I'll be headed there when I leave work. I think we have something going on every evening this week...when will I get to shop??!! I'm haven't started getting nervous yet...but I might get there this time next week.

Dallas - when I do my walking lunges outside, I go to a church parking lot that is right down the street from me. Lucky for me, I don't care what anyone thinks...I do get some looks though. But I figure I just might motivate someone...

I wish I had enough sense to start shopping early...guess I'm too old to change now. Plus, that would take all of the fun out of it for me (LOL).

Hey Nicole!! Found yourself a new toy didn't you??!! I love Dance Revolution!! I haven't done it in a while...but I think one of these days, I'll have my DD play with me. You're right...there is yet a ray of hope for me.

Hi Diane Sue!!

Have a great evening!!

Good evening,
It sounds like several of us were doing KPC. I did this omitting the ab work and st,Treadmill 20 minutes, then did CTX upper split, KPC abs, CTX abs for the first two segments then Kpc st.

Susan I can only imagine that you are anxious. It sounds like things are going well.

Terri, DH won"t be here at all but we are hoping to do a web cam with the family. I understand. I thought today that Christmas eve will be alone time for me as family goes to other family events on Christmas eve. I will talk to dh hopefully and work on Christmas dinner.

Nicole, from what I understand they are discontinuig the Jolie weights. This is probably why they do not have all of the colors. They have been a great addition for me.

Dallas, I keep finding uses for these weights. I know I could use ankle weights or wrist weights but these are so much smaller and work so well. They are so convenient for ab work and Kick Max, Have fun finding new things to do with them.

Sabrina DH is fine. I will spend time with him on line over the holidays. He is very busy training a lot of men from the US and Iraq.

Hi Marrietta and Lora,
Diane Sue
