Morning Ladies -

This morning I did 40 minutes of Shape Cardio Dance Aerobics followed by 5 minutes of Pilates abs.

I slept in for a half hour, as I was exhausted yesterday and felt I needed it. It's rare that I get tired and can actually sleep. I think it was due to the day I had yesterday. I think my boss is feeling like I'm not new any more, as I really got it from her yesterday. She had a fit cuz she was looking for me and I was in the bathroom and she was going on and on to the supervisor about how much I go to the bathroom and then she had the nerve to ask me if I have diabetes. You ladies know that drinking water is good for you.......so I don't know what her problem is. Earlier when she was explaining something to me, I was taking notes and asking questions and she was huffin' and puffin' and getting put out with me.

Well, my fracture is healed, but my toenails still have a few more weeks to go. Who knew they take that long to heal. He said my foot will probably swell and ache for up to a year though. He wants me to have a Dexascan to make sure I'm not getting osteoporosis.

I bought the TLT's last night and got the 10% off. They are actually a Christmas gift.
Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check in later. I hope my day is better than yesterday.
 
Good Morning Everyone!

I have a few minutes before I have to wake the kids for school. I had to get up early and be showered before I get the kids up. I have to be at the school at 8:30A to help the kind. class with computers and then we're doing gingerbread houses.

I'll have to work out later this afternoon. I plan on doing some kind of kbx workout and abs.

Lora ~ Really, what is wrong with your boss?! You are certainly a patient person. :) I can't wait to see what you all think of the new TLT's. I think I'll wait to hear some reviews first.

Hi to all who follow! Got to run!

Dallas
 
Hello Everyone,

Well I did not get my workout in this am. A long distance friend called late last night (11pm) and we talked even later:eek:

Then I take my dd12 to school and the bus needed to get in, and I backed into the van behind me (well actually bumped) Thank GOD I did no damage!!. I waited for her to get out of her van first though (I was still in my pjs), and you could tell she was annoyed. That will teach me to stay up to late;)

You girls are pretty sharp I was wondering if you would NOTICE about song 12:p

Lora I agree with with Dallas about your boss. She does not sound like a very happy person!!

Yes I am ordering the TLT's. Tracey is a wonderful instructor and I funtional fitness training uses those smaller muscle groups in different ways. I am really looking forward to these.

Dallas in response to your question about how I will use these in a rotation. I will do a TLT with a cardio imbetween.

Well I gotta go take the other kids to school!! Wish me lUCK, and then I think I am going to take a little Cat nap :D

Hello,

Today I did Supersets. I skipped the core work.

Ever have one of those mornings where it starts off kind of bad, then gets bad and continues to get worse? Well, I'm having one of those.
I now have something (most likely an eyelash) lodged in my eye and will not budge! I've poured water in my eye for the last hour and it will not move. It hurts like CRAZY!

Lora, I couldn't deal with someone like your boss. I'd have to find another place to work. I'm in the bathroom all the time too! My boss has stood outside the door and waited for me to say -so and so, is on the phone for you.- Wacko! I do have voice mail.

Nicole, If it makes you feel any better, I hit things all the time in my car ~ and my with dh truck. When I drive the F150 I hit everything but the lotto in it. I ran over the wrong things so many times I split the side of the tire. In my car I have a tendency to pull into a parking space a little too close and hit the curb. And, I'm never in the driveway straight. I was really embarrassed when I backed over my parent's garbage cans. :D

I've got some work to do now, but I'll be back later.
 
Hello Ladies,

I slept in until 8:30 this morning as I went to a late show of The Harry Potter movie. I really enjoyed it!How many of you have seen it?

Lora-MY gosh I cannot believe that boss of yours. She should be reported to HR for treating employees like that! I agree withSusan I could not work there.
Nicole-You crack me up! :) Oh as far as a rotation goes I am trying to do one SS workout a day and a cathe cardio or run and some heavier upperbody workout. I need to really plan one for the rest of the month!
Dallas-Have fun at the school with the kids :)
Susan-that is too funny you running over things
Diane SUe-Making candy with your grandkids souns like fun!
Marietta-Where are you and how are you?

OK I am going to be honest and say I do not feel like working out. I will though. Just not sure what. I am a little down today because I realize his christmas is going to be diferent. A lot of stress about my dad and my son for the first year wont stay the night on christmas eve as he wants to be with his gf chrismas morning. Which I totally understand. I knew the time would come but it doesn't make it any easier :) I think this will be my first christmas morning alone. Maybe it's time for me to start dating!

Terri
 
Hi ladies!

Lora-I would not be able to handle a boss like yours. I would have given her a piece of my mind already. ;-)

Dallas-Have fun at the school with the kids. I have never done a gingerbread house. They look like they could be fun though.

Nicole-glad everyone was ok on your bump this morning. ;-) I can't wait for your reviews on the TLT workouts too. What is the deal with song 12? Did I miss something? I have not been able to hear the whole cd yet since I had class last night and just got the cd right before I left.

Susan-Sorry you are having one of those days. I seem to be having a lot of them lately. Make sure you are extra careful today.


Terri-I have not seen the Harry Potter movie yet but I would love to go. I think my DS8 would really love to go to since he is reading the books. He just finished the third one and I need to go buy him the fourth year. I hope you don't have to be alone c-mas morning. You coold always come here and join us! I have three kids that would keep you hopping!! lol :D

Hi Marietta and Diane Sue!!

I have lots of studying to try and get in before next Thursday so I guess I had bette get off here.

I will check in later!
 
Susan YES I can relate because I was feeling that way this morning:7 Hope your day is getting better. Now is the time to take a deep breath, and just SMILE haha, and say to yourself I'm having a GREAT day.!! When I worked I would do little things to make me laugh like use a word for the day. Like for example...... Fabulous......, and when talking to people use that word as much as possible. It was a lot of fun. There are so many GREAT words out there to have fun with!! My co worker had fun with it to although there always was one grumpy pants in the bunch!! ha ha.. Btw you should be able to find a squishy ball at Walmart. I know I bought 2 there a few years back and good thing because I seem to have lost one of them??

Sabrina I will be sure and let you know how they are. They look like they are going to be tough just by watching the video clips. Is'nt Karma Ghost a GREAT cd!!! I can't wait till you get to song 12}( Enjoy!! Btw I think you are such a sweetheart inviting Terri over to your house on Christmas morning!!! I wish we all lived closer to one another!! Then we could get together have Coffee and SAVE the world!!

Dallas I think you should tell your dh you want the TLT for xmas to hahaha. I don't even tell my dh about my dvd purchases because he would tell me I have enough??? The only dvds I really have bought this last year are my Cathes and now these. I was tempted to get turbo jam, but..........I think Cathes new ones should fit the bill.

Lora I would LOVE to see your dvd collection, and Sabrina yours sounds like it is growing:D

Hey can you tell I am putting off my workout?????? I would rather sit here today:eek:

Terri I feel really badly for your dad to!! Maybe a miracle will come and your mom will come to her senses, and want to go back with your dad. I don't understand why she would enable your brother that way!! Thank goodness your father has a wonderful daughter that loves him!!I am totally agreeing with you I am not in the workout mode at all???? Thank goodness for SS...... I really need that no brainer exercise right now... Btw today I am going to do P90 3/4 on my rebounder. I need some cardio with not having to use my brain today.

I am afraid to go get the kids from school today!! HEY SUSAN will you}(

Hey Marietta and Diane Sue how are you doing today!!

Well gotta go at the rate I am going I will be writing a BOOK:7

Take care,
~Nicole
 
Dallas I think you should tell your dh you want the TLT for xmas to hahaha

Hahaha! I think so too. I just hear the conversation.

Dallas: You know "DH", there's this new workout series from TLT that's coming out at the end of the month that I just have to own!

DH: But aren't you getting Cathe's any week now? AND Didn't I just order the Slim Series for you?

Dallas: Yes, but this is FUNCTIONAL FITNESS! I just have to get these! Oh, come on.

I dont tell my husband either about my workouts. Well, I did about the Hardcore's.
I STILL have this plank in my eye! I don't know what to do about it. Water is NOT moving it a bit. I wish I could just start today all over. After work Justin and I are going to the community tree lighting and see Santa (just look), then zip over to his school. I'm helping to set up for their Christmas Shop.
I have to stop home and change my shirt. I dropped oatmeal on myself this morning and it must have been a good long while before I noticed since it got all crusty. I'm such a mess today, I can hardly stand it!


Susan C.M.
 
Nicole-What is song 12?? I am suppose to be studying and now I am going to have to go get the cd. CRUD! Spill!! My workout collection is growing by leaps and bounds. I have not ordered any since the Slim series and the Turbo jam ones. What was that a couple weeks ago?? ;-) I think I am coming due again!! :D LOL!!
 
Hey Guys!!

I won't even try to explain where I've been...the good news is that I haven't been sick!! The bad news...oh, no bad news! I was off work and I just could not find my way to a PC.

This morning I was bogged down with emails and meetings and didn't get to check in.

I will not bore you guys with the details of my workout for the past 4 days or so. I will say that I finally had a chance to try my Step Blast DVD over the weekend, I've had it for quite some time and I really like it a lot!!

This morning I did a Hill Blast workout on my treadmill and then I followed that with CTX chest. I have class this evening so I'll see what kind of madness I can do. You know...II have this workout that I love to do this time of the year called the "The Twelve Days of Christmas". If you know the song, then the workout is just like that...doesn't that sound fun!! Trust me it's pure torture...I love it!! Uh-Oh...I think my class is in trouble!!

Trust me...I was thinking about you guys. I hate my home PC...don't use it if I can help it. I did get a little bit of Christmas shopping done over the weekend....just a little.

I hate that Lora has such a "crabby" boss.

I hate that Susan is having a terrible day and is walking around with planks in her eyes.

I hate that Nicole is so tired today, but I'm glad that she is that kinda of friend...don't change a thing.

I hate that Terri is having a hard time dealing with her family situation during the holidays...but I know that Terris is strong and will be just fine. If Terri wants me to check-in on Christmas and hang out...I will.

I hope Dallas got a chance to workout today...I guess she will let us know.

I hope Sabrina gets all her studying done...stay focused!!!

I hope Diane Sue sees this and knows that I think she is the best grandma on earth!!

Take care guys...talk to you soon!!

Sabrina I was just teasing............ there is no song 12}(


Yes you have been on a buying frenzy LOL. You got the Jillians,SS, Turbo jams, and Cathe coming are there anymore that we don't know about??

All I have to say is GOOD for you!!


Have you had a chance to do any of your new dvds yet?? Btw you have until the 31st to get the TLTS presale.

~Nicole
 
Nicole

Thank goodness! I thought I had a defective cd!! :D

I don't have all of Jillians yet. There were two that were not out yet. In fact I think they were suppose to come out the 2nd. Now I have to go look!! :D I have a lot of workouts that I need to do when I get done with this class. I will be working out for hours on end to get through them all. lol

What is the website for the TLT's? I think I better go check them out.


eta: I just checked and Jillians other two workouts are now available. I am in trouble!! :D ;-)
 
Here is a copy of a post from Carol, who is more familiar with her workouts than I am. Check out the links she posted.
I'm going to get these ~ before the 30th.

copy of post:
Tracie's workouts are nothing like Cathe's IMHO, except that they are advanced. Functional fitness works smaller muscles and your core, and watching these you think "yeah ... okay ... so what?" because they don't "look like" traditional strength training. They don't look like you're working hard or raising your heart rate, but you really are. I actually had better results over time in my entire core with this type of training than with any abs workout in ANY traditional strength training video. Think the Core Secrets workouts but much, much harder and much more interesting, without the annoying chatter from the vapid background exercisers in the newer ones. UHG. Again, this is only my opinion and I'm sure others will have differing opinions and different results. It all depends on how you like to workout, what your mindset is regarding cardio and strength training regimes, and what your goals are.

The length of her older workouts - the TLP's - Functional Strength and Dynamic Strength & Power are around 50 minutes each. Core Foundations which is the toughest core workout I have ever done is close to an hour. The "Yorktowns" - Core Cardio and Core Strength - are each around 55 minutes. The new ones are between 45 and 60 minutes long, and according to the message board on her new site will be available to order on Monday and are expected to ship on 12/20. This is information I'm gleaning from other sites.

Here is a link to her "old" site where the TLP's are available, although I did see on her new message board Core Foundations is sold out and they only have a limited number of the other ones. Also, Core Cardio and Core Secrets are only available on DVD-R and Tracie has posted she will not be re-doing these on regular DVD's. I believe this has something to do with past legal problems with her former business partner, but I have no firsthand information on this. I can tell you my copies of these workouts are still playing fine, but I know other people have posted on VF their copies are starting to act strangely.

http://tracielong.net/

Here is a link to her new site. On this site you can view descriptions and clips of the four new workouts. She has also posted on this site that her older workouts will never be sold on the new site:

And here is a link to one of many threads currently on VF about these workouts:

HTH!

Good evening
I overlept this am so had to finish off my workout this evening. I started with iFIT level 3 Rock plus 15 minute add on intervals for a 5.25mi. run, then did ME upper split. This evening I did CM complete core and MM abs and st.
I am doing endurance workouts this week. I still haven't planned out the rest of the month yet.

Lora, thats good to hear that your fracture is healed.

Marietta I love Step Blast. I try to make myself not repeatedly pick it as my step workout. BTW that was a sweet post to all of us:) Thanks

Terri I hope things are good for you Christmas.

Hi to everyone
Diane Sue

Wow! You all were chatterboxes today! ;-) I missed out on all the fun! You guys are FABULOUS! ha ha! Ouch! Stop twisting my arm....those workouts are very tempting. When does the coupon expire?

Nicole, what's the word for tomorrow? LOL! Did you get a workout in today? It was a crazy phone day TODAY for me. I talked to just about everyone! The phone would not stop ringing. So, I didn't workout. I felt really dizzy while doing homework with dd. It must have been from all that talking! LOL! Hope your day got better!:) :)

Susan, that was a funny dialogue, but so true to life. ha ha! How's your eye? Hope your day got better too!:) :) I'm glad you live in another state with that driving record. ha ha:7

Marietta ~ We're never bored hearing about your work outs. I love to see what you're doing! How was your class? There's a song for working out called "The Twelve Days of Christmas"? Interesting. Sounds fun!}( Yes, I wished we lived closer...

Terri ~ I'm so sorry about your family situation right now. I'm going to e-mail you. Again, I wished we lived closer so you wouldn't have to be alone on Christmas morning. ((((HUGS))))

Sabrina ~ Did you get the new DVDs? I saw your cookie post. I posted my family favorite too.

Lora ~ What happened at the dr.? How was your boss today?

Diane Sue ~ I thought of your dh when I heard the news today. Iraq seems quite unstable. I guess they have another American hostage. I'll pray your dh stays safe.

Is there such thing as making up for a lost workout?:-( I've got some work to do tomorrow!
