Morning Everyone -

This morning I did Imax 3 plus abs from Pure Strength Legs & Abs. My legs are fried from all of the aerobics and lunges over the weekend.

I have a doctor appt tomorrow, so I'll have to do a shorter workout and deviate from the rotation.

Did everyone see the post in the Ask Cathe section asking Cathe for a "Bootcamp Series" on DVD cuz we all like this rotation so much? I think it's a great idea, except I hope she would include shorter premixes for us, as I don't usually have 2 hours to work out.

Terri - Wow...San Diego. I've never been there, but it sounds really lovely. I'd be excited also. My hubby and I always go to Vegas cuz we're both a bit high strung and don't really know how to relax on a beach....LOL!!

Where's Diana Sue been?

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Hi Lora and all that follow.

I believe Diane Sue is spending time with her DH who is on leave.

Today I will be doing imax2 as I dont have 3. Then I believe we are to do walking lunges and abs. I really want to do legs and glutes today so I will add the lunges on to that. I will do the ab work later this afternoon.

Lora-I did see that post and I would love to see such a series! I have a high strung personality as well and the ONLY place I ever truly relax is the beach. I don't lay there long but I run and we go to lots of shops and stuff. During the day always on the go. I can at least relax there with the sound of the ocean and read and sleep really well!

Dallas-I hope you are feeling better. I hope since we saw you here only once that you got some rest yesterday.
Nicole-Are you doing chapter two from the book?
Take care and I will check back later

Terri
 
Hello Guys!

I don't know what the heck I'm doing this week! I'm supposed to be training for the 1/2 marathon...but for some reason, I haven't started yet.

This morning I did the CTX All Step/Shoulders workout. I'm kinda having a bad day so I could really use a run at lunch

Lora - You had a good workout this morning! Watch out Vegas...here she comes!!

Terri - You are going to do IMAX 2, 200 walking lunges and Legs & Glutes? Go on with your bad self!!!!

Hi to all that follow....I'm sure I'll be back later.

Hi ladies!

Looks like we have some great workouts going on!! Woo hoo! You go girls!

I walked my boys to school again but I jogged home while pushing my 3 year old in his stroller. I have to get a workout in later!! I ended up having to take my 3 year old to the doctors yesterday and when we finally got out my MIL, SIL and Niece were over for the evening.

I am working on Day 2. I have 3 drawers going on at once. They are my hutch drawers. I have a nice stack to ask my DH about (there are a bunch of cords in there but I am not sure what all they are for)and then I will be close to being done.

I will check in later!

Have a great day! :)
 
Hello Everyone,
I am going to do Imax 3 and THOSE 200 walking lunges (I really don't feel like doing those today:eek: But I will MAKE myself!!!!!

Sabrina I am so happy you are doing your drawers today!! I am going to do one of my bathroom drawers after lunch then go and do my workout!! Boys have flag football practice tonight so I had better get my workout in this afternoon or it won't happen.;-)

Then I will TRY and get another drawer in??? Terri and Dallas I tell ya Sabrina is REALLY giving us a RUN for our money :7 ha ha. Hey girls how is your decluttering going??? Terri I know it must be hard when you are planning a vacation!! When are you leaving again???

Lori I never workout on vacation either.:D

Well gotta go !!

I will check back later!!

Hi guys,

I'm having an unplanned day off of exercising.

I have a whacked out SIL who comes to the area during horse racing season here. She works with one of the trainers. Well, two years ago, when my son was 3, she asked if she could watch him for the day. My husband and I said yes. BIG mistake. This woman who is in her late 50's no kids but lots of animals is very irresponsible. The worst that happened then, was her horse bit my sons hand and her 12-year-old cairn terrier bit his face!
Now, 2 years later, she asked again. I said no, but my husband and I agreed, she has to be supervised. So, my husband spent the day with them yesterday. Since then, her 12-year-old dog dies and she replaces it with 2 other puppy cairn terriers. It's kind of a long story, but her damn dog bit my sons face!!! MOTHER!! This time it was bad. We spent over five hours in the emergency room last night.
The dr. made a very early apt. for us to see a plastic surgeon this morning. So, none of us got any sleep.
I can't stand this woman like I can't even explain. She's a nut, and this is it with her.
I contacted the county where she is living now, and they are going to contact her (saying they were notified by the hospital) and make sure the dog is up to date with all its shots.
I'm not blaming the breed of the dog. My parents have a cairn terrier. I'm blaming the nut job owner.
My son is a HUGE animal lover and knows how to approach a dog. He'll ask strangers if he can pet their dog and knows how to hold his hand out first. AHHH!

Anyway, glad to see you guys are working out, feeling better and getting your house organized and cleaned.

Sorry to complain today. Boy, was I seething yesterday and I had to hold a lot in since it was, after all, my husbands' precious sister who does no wrong. }(

Susan C.M.
 
Oh My Susan! That is horrible:( Poor little guy of yours. How is he feeling today? Whst did the plastic surgeon say? If I were you I would tell DH that his sister is not allowed near my child!!!

So I came to tell you all that I have done imax 2 and the lunges. I plan to do the situps and hopefully legs and glutes here in a couple hours.

Marietta-did you get your run in?
Nicole-Yeah Sabrina is making us look bad! :) I did a desk drawer and a bathroom drawer. It is kinda hard since I am packing today too. At least my house will be less cluttered to come home to after my trip. I leave thursday.
Sabrina-YOU GO GIRL!

I am also feeling really bad for dallas right now. I think she is still very sick since she is not posting. I wish her well soon.

Terri
 
OMG Susan I am so sorry about your son!! How is he today? That is just terrible!

Terri-Good workout! I am not trying to make you look bad, I am just having fun! LOL! I have plenty more drawers to do too. Eeeek! Where did you say you were going on your trip. It seems like everyone is going somewhere and I cannot keep them straight. Sorry!

I hope Dallas posts soon so we know how she is doing. I hope she gets better soon!

Does anyone know where Beverly is? I have not seen a post from her in a while.

How was your run Marietta?

I will check in later, hopefully with a workout done! I am keeping my fingers crossed.
 
Susan....so sorry to hear about your son..that's terrible!! I hope it doesn't affect the way he feels about animals in the future.

Please post and let us know what's going on....you have to be just about over the edge about now. Your feelings toward you SIL are absolutely valid!!

I hope Dallas post soon too...this is not like her.

I don't know where Beverly is....but I did see that she posted someplace else so I know she's around. Maybe she's just not feeling like checking in right now.

I was all dressed to run and when I headed outside it was raining...I didn't want to go in the rain because my hair would have been a mess and I would have had no time to get it together before having to come back to work. I did the elliptical for 40 minutes...I'm glad I did because I was so stressed out that I took it out on my class and I worked those guys and myself really hard...it was an IMAX type of workout....Woo-Hoo!!

Nicole - the half marathon is Sept. 24th. I did one in June and so I'm kinda in shape for it...just need to run some long runs to get back in the groove.

Sabrina - So what did you do girly??

Have a great evening everyone!!
 
Susan I am so sorry that you and your family have to go through this:( I just hope you got a REALLY GOOD PLASTIC surgeon so hopefuly you won't even notice. If it is noticable I think it would be hard to get past hard feelings for your sl???? I would make her PAY!! I know I would be in a rage!! I will keep your son in my prayers and hope that he heals quickly!!

Speaking of prayers. My sister is very sick. She has been in ICU for last 2 1/2 weeks. I am planning on going to help. I am not sure yet when I am leaving??? But I have start gettin my ducks in order (like what and who will take care of the kids??? Wish me luck!!

Well my dh in wanting on computer!!!!SOOOOOO I gotta go!

Will try and post back later:D Btw I had a really good workout with Imax3 I did the lunges right after the warm up!!
 
Well I managed 32 minutes of Bootcamp and then a 35 minute bike ride with the family. All 4 of my men wanted to go on the bike ride so I caved. It was sooo nice out. I did walk my boys to school (and I jogged on the way home with my 3 year old in his stroller) and I walked to pick them up (not far but at least it is something).

I am so sorry about your sister Nicole! I hope she feels better soon. Good luck!
 
Hi Everyone!

I haven't had one minute today to check in. First day of school, feeling sick, open house, etc. Thanks everyone for the concern! Yesterday was a really bad day, I started running a 102 temperature and I have been on Tylenol/Advil every 4 hours (alternating) since Friday. I can't imagine what my temp would have been had I not already been on something. Geez, I'm already over this thing! Too bad my body isn't!x( I have to say right now I do feel like I'm getting better! :D I actually ate something other than chicken soup. My throat still hurts like he!! ! The docs keep saying no to antibiotics, but to get lots of rest. The latter is hard, you know, with three little ones. I guess this "thing" is going around up here. I just saw another mom at open house and she said she was down for three weeks! That won't be pretty around here because I need my work outs! }(

Susan ~ That is just awful about your poor son! That happened twice?! Unbelievable! Your son will be in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Nicole ~ You, your sister, and family will be in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Terri ~ You better get packing! I can't believe Lora is already packed.

Lora ~ Are you counting down the days?

Sabrina ~ You go girl! I did do a measly shopping bag of clothes yesterday. No drawers today. Maybe tomorrow. I would have caved in as well for the family bike ride.

Marietta ~ I'm sure you'll do great in the half. You've gotten some great work outs in lately. I know what you mean about getting out and putting the mileage in though. That's why I haven't committed to doing one yet.

Have a great evening!

Dallas
 
Dallas-Nice to see you back. Hopefully soon you will be back to 100 percent! How are the kids enjoying school? Sounds like you have a lot going on but try and rest. I know I have been resting more since I got sick. Even if I just lay down for 30 minuyes or so. It seems to help.

Nicole-I hope all will be well with your sister. Keep us posted on this. I will put her in my prayers along with Susans son.

Terri
 
Thanks Terri! You girls are the best in this check in. When I can work out again, I plan on picking up with this rotation where I left off. I'll probably have to take a few easy days at first. I was playing tag with my boys downstairs earlier and I got so winded.:-( My ds starts kindergarten tomorrow.:-( I know that he's so nervous. Well, got to get to bed!

Dallas
 
I wanted more lower body work so I did GS Legs Standing tonight and after each leg exercise I did 50 sit-ups/crunches and 10 push ups(on my toes!) for a total of 300 sit-ups and 60 push-ups. This is my sub for Fitness Fiesta and I'm also doing them out of order. I may not have time to workout tomorrow but my next workout will be Cardio Kicks/Imax 6-10/CM #2 then I can start on the last week.
Angela:p
