Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Tuesday Nov 22

Morning Everyone,

This morning I did Kickbox Bootcamp (Hollywood Trainer). It was a fun kickbox workout, but it lacked in the weight training department. I added a few more weighted exercises and ab work to the end.

Well, the doctor didn't x-ray my foot last night, as he ended up doing bilateral surgery on my toes for my ingrown toenails. Now I have to apply medicine and dressing for 2 weeks. Just another thing to add to my morning routine. I'm also supposed to soak my feet 3 times a day in epsom salt water. I don't know where I'm supposed to find the time.

I'll try to check in later from work. My boss won't be there, but I have LOTS and LOTS to keep me busy. I wish I didn't so I could chat with you guys a bit more.

Have great workouts everyone. It's supposed to snow here all week....yuk!!
 
Good Morning All!

Lora ~ Wow! You were able to do kickboxing after having your ingrown toenails worked on?!

Today I did RS, but only 45 minutes, then I did Imax intervals 1-8 (no w/u), but I did do the stretch. I wanted to finish Imax, but had to get showered up. Have a busy day today.

Marietta ~ Thanks for the CTX suggestion, but I loaned that DVD to my neighbor last week. She wanted to try LL.

Diane Sue ~ I read you burned out a treadmill in 18 months! I can't wait to hear how you like this one. We had to have the motor replaced on our current treadmill.

Sabrina ~ Get all that reading done?

Terri ~ Did you get your DVD yet? I forgot I had won Turbo Jam. I can't wait to check that one out.

Nicole ~ Is your son better?

Susan ~ What's new? You're not "scaring" that baby anymore, are you? ;-)

Have a great day! The kids are off starting tomorrow for the next five days, so I'll try to sneak in here.

Dallas
 
Hello Everyone,
Today I did firm it up!!

Lora I 2nd Dallas's WOW:7

Dallas NO my son is not doing better?? I was up with him last night again for high fever. I took him in yesterday and Dr. wants to check his white blood count before he changes antibiotics?? He has been out of school for 1 whole week now.

I was hoping to go to my sisters for thanksgivng, but I don't think we will be able to:(

Btw guess what my sisters cholesterol is...............700 Can you believe that!! Now she going to yet another Dr. They say it is from the steroids.(she has recieved very HIGH doses) She has a LONG road a head of her. I feel so bad for her.

Terri I hope you get your dvd today!! I can't wait to see what you think!

Sabrina Christmas really came early for you!! Can't wait to hear back on your thoughts of your new dvds!

Dallas you LOANED out a Cathe dvd:7 I have learned my lesson about doing that. Anyways whenever I loan something out...... I get the yen to do that workout ha ha.:7

Hello Marietta, Diane Sue and Susan

I will try and come back later!!











:D
 
Lora-I third what Dallas and Niicole said :)

Hello Ladies,

Well after the mailman had said I had no packages I checked the mail again and my DVD was in there! This was hours later so I didn't get time to do Tear it Up Yesterday. I am doing it today along with a run and some heavy work for bi's and tri's.

Nicole-I have a very busy morning so I will post my review this afternoon :)
Dallas-5 days off for the kids and 5 days on for you :)
Diane Sue-What a lovely surprise for you! Have you tried the treadmill out yet? It looks very fancy. Like Marrietta said the"mercedes Benz" of trreadmills.
Susan, Sabrina,-Hope all is well with you
Marietta-I sent you an e-mail and I hope to see ou here later.

Terri
 
Good Morning!!

This morning I did CTX All Step and Gymstyle Chest....I was thinking I wasn't going to be able to do the pushups today...but I made it..Woo-Hoo!!! I'll do something at lunch, but I haven't decided just what that will be just yet.

Lora - I am also amazed that you can workout out after your surgery...your are a tough cookie!!

Dallas - What did you think of RS? Did it go a little better for you today? Do you think it can grow on you? I've been avoiding Step Blast so I think that will be my next one to work on.

Nicole - Sorry you DS is still sick....definitely sounds like a change in meds might be in order. What are they going to do about your sisters cholesterol...that's really high. I'll say a prayer for her.

Terri - Hope your workout comes today. If you don't get it by tomorrow you'll have to wait until after the holidays. I know how it is to anticipate something and then not get it...it sucks!

Hi Susan, Sabrina and Diane Sue!!

I'll be back later...

Morning ladies!

Lora-you are one tough cookie working out after your surgery! I bow to you!!

Nicole-I hope your DS starts to feel better soon. I hope your sister gets her cholesterol figured out too. I will post about my new workouts when I find time to preview them.

Terri-I hope you get your workout today too. I hate not knowing when things are arriving. Drives me crazy (it doesn't take much). lol!

Diane Sue-How are you liking your new treadmill?

Dallas-What are you going to do with your kids while they are home for Thanksgiving break? I am glad my DH will be home too so maybe he can keep them occupied so I can get in some study time. I need it. I have fallen a little behind in the reading (even though we haven't covered the chapters un class yet).

Marietta-You amaze me with all the working out you get in. I wish I had more time. You go girl!!

Susan-How is the baby? I was going to tell you that my middle sons birthday is Feb 9th. I also have a friends birthday that is Feb. 1st. Good month! ;-)

Sorry for the long post. I will check in again later! Have a great day!!
 
Well my sons platlets are down to 14. (normal count is 150-450) . If he has a fever tonight I will have to take him in to the hospital in am and spend the day for a treatment:-(

Marietta I am thinking they will put her on some kind of medication to bring it down.

Terri that is good you ended up getting your dvd after all. Can't wait to hear your review :)

Sabrina sounds like you are doing wonderful with your studies!! Keep it up!!

~Nicole
 
Nicole-sorry to hear about your son. Why won't they start making him feel better today? That way he might feel a lot better for Thanksgiving. What do they plan on doing to him in the morning?
 
He does not have a fever right now, but if he gets one tonight (Which I know he will) His platlets will continue to decrease, and we don't want to go any lower because then they worry about a spontanous brain bleed or internal bleeding his from his platelets being so low.

As far as making him feel better they determined it is a virus so antibiotics won't help that. I have had a big knot in my belly since he got sick. He's my little sweetheart!!:)

~Nicole
 
Good afternoon everyone,
Well todays workout was Cardio Coach vol4 using my new treadmill. I added another interval 5 min. steady state and 3 min. high intensity then cooled down, S&h Triceps, Biceps and abs, Core Max Tough core, St. I put in 5 miles on the treadmill workout. Boy was I sweating:)

Dallas yes I burned out the motor. I was putting in sometimes as many as 10 miles a day on that thing. Then DH would use it. He bought a warranty for this one.

Terri I tried out the treadmill after we got it all set up. I couldnt resist.

Sabrina I love the treadmill. It even has fans on it.

Marietta thanks for the cute comment about my treadmill. I need to figure out how to use some of the added features. There are a lot of preprogrammed workouts in it. It can be hooked up to the computer or stereo system or vcr as well for the iFIT programs. Right now I am just getting familiar with it.

Nicole I hope your son's health improves soon. I know I kept my grandson last week because his white count was off.

Hi to everyone,

Thanks Diane Sue this is just a rollercoaster ride. We are up and we are down, but it is ALWAYS on my mind.:) That is why I really enjoy working out. It is a positive way to get the stress worked out of my system ;-)
 
Nicole-I hope your little sweetheart gets better soon. I will be thinking of him.

Terri-I just got my CD from Amazon.com. Can I get your address please? I will get to walmart later to get something to ship it in and hopefully get it in the mail tomorrow. I have to go to walmart anyway to get another highlighter since the other one is used up already. I think I am highlighting my book too much! lol
 
Hi guys,

Well, this morning when I went to the workout room, my husband left the weight bench facing the weight machine. I went to slide it out so I could use it. Pulling on it put a strain on my lower back. So, what do I do??? I pick it up, swing it around and put it into place.

I continue with my workout of SH Chest and Back, then GS Chest, then MIS back.

This landed me in Labor and Delivery at the hospital. I pulled the muscles in the front of my abdomen. It hurts.

Lora, I can't believe you exercised after having bilateral surgery!

Terri, Platemates are magnetic weights, about the size of a hockey disk that you put on the end of a dumbbell to make just a little bit heavier. It's great to break plateaus. Also, when you want to go just a bit heavier, but the next 5 pound dumbbell jump is too much.

Nicole, sorry your son is sick. It's great that you are able to stay home and take care of him.

Marietta, glad you pumped out those push-ups today. I'm so much better with my push muscles than my pull muscles.

Dallas and Sabrina, it's funny (but not funny, ha ha) that you both asked about the baby today...I'm glad he/she is ok.

Diane Sue, that's great you got a new treadmill. You'll love it!

Have a great day everyone.

Is anyone going away for Thanksgiving? We're going to my parents.

Susan
 
Susan-I am thinking about yelling at you but I don't want to upset the baby!! Bad Girl!!! Are you ok? The baby? What do you have to do?
 
Sabrina can I join in with yelling :7

I don't have platemates, but I have those cheap little hand like weights they look like doughnuts that I use when I am going up on my wts. I just add them to my barbell. I have 1lbers and 1.5lbs and ya know those little pounds add up. It really helped when I was moving up with my bicep curls:)

Can ya tell I am doing laundry today?? It gives me excuse to get on line while I am waiting to through in another load:7

~Nicole
 
Susan!!!!!!! How are you? So are you taking it easy now?? Let us know!!!!

I'm not going anywhere for Thanksgiving. My DD10 is going out of town with my SIL. She will be gone for 4 days. I've got to get her packed tonight...she's very excited. She'll get to spend the weekend with her cousin that moved away that she misses very much.

Nicole - Yeah! I can tell you're doing laundry...It's all good though...which I were doing it. I'm off tomorrow so I guess I'll do some then.

Terri - Where are u??

I did go for a run at lunch...the temp here was about 45 or so. It actually feel real good. I have class tonight, but it will be easy. I think I'll take it easy on em...



Have a great evening everyone!

I got the flu shot this morning first thing and then went onto shop. Boy, traffic is already getting bad around here. That's motivation enough to finish up shopping.

>Dallas and Sabrina, it's funny (but not funny, ha ha) that you
>both asked about the baby today...I'm glad he/she is ok.

Susan!!!!! I was kidding when I said that! ;-) You ended up in labor and delivery! :eek: Girl, I better get over there and make you chill out! ;-) I'm sorry to hear about your pulled muscle. That has too hurt! I opened up the Fitness RX magazine from August and saw an article about the Bar Method you talked about. How weird?

Nicole ~ I'm so sorry about your ds and your sister. 700! I don't know if you saw the cholesterol thread. I'm at 285 before medicine. You're poor son. Will you all stay home on Thanksgiving? We've had so many years where I stayed back with the sick child and my dh takes the rest of the family. :-(

Marietta ~ My dh is into gadgets. What can you recommend? I'm at a loss for him this year.

Sabrina ~ No big plans yet. I'd like to finish decorating with them and hopefully put up that other tree. I hope you get caught with your reading!

Terri ~ Soooo? How was the workout?

Diane Sue ~ That looked like an awesome workout!

OH MY, does anyone get People? I usually don't read this mag unless I'm at the beauty shop. HELLO, did you see who was on the cover?!?! I was drooling!! heehee! The Sexiest Man Alive this year was Matthew McConaughey. OH MY! He's such a cutie! I think I have a crush! LOL! Don't tell dh! :p

Have a great night! I might be back!

Dallas
 
>Dallas - What did you think of RS? Did it go a little better
>for you today? Do you think it can grow on you? I've been
>avoiding Step Blast so I think that will be my next one to
>work on.

Marietta ~ I AM glad I gave it another chance. It did go better and it can definitely grow on me.

Nicole ~ That's funny what you said about loaning a DVD out and then wanting to do it. I do the same thing. I'm trying to get my neighbor hooked like us! }( She loves BC, so I told her she might like HSC or HSTA? What do you think?

OK, I have to get off this thing. I have been gone all day and the laundry room is beckoning me too! :7

Dallas
 
Dallas-Have you ever been to a place called Joe's in Chicago? It is located at 940 W Weed St. I am going to a concert there in Jan.
