Morning Ladies -

This morning I did TLP Dynamic Strength and Power. This seems to be the "early shift" workout for me. I have a doctor's appt today and need to work the early shift and this workout is only 40 minutes long.

I didn't order the Jolies yet, but I may do it later. I'm still debating. Do you ladies actually do plyometrics and jumps with them on? I'm wondering if my low back will be bothered by them, as I'm still trying to break my low back in to regular impact on the floor.

Dallas - Let us know how your nephew is doing. They usually bounce back really quick when they are young. My nephew had heart surgery a few years back by a really good surgeon in Columbus Children's Hospital. Apparently, this guy was supposed to be something special...and my nephew really did amazingly well.

I got my new Saucony Tangent Grid pink/white/raspberry athletic shoes and I love them! I don't really like the New Balances I ended up with at Christmas, as they always come lose on my feet and I have to constantly tie them. I never had Saucony's before, but this definitely won't be my last pair. They look cool and feel great plus they feel like they help my plantar faciitis and they stay laced tight! Highly recommend them.

Have great workouts everyone. I'll check back later. My last day of freedom! The boss returns tomorrow and I'm stressing cuz that large stack of stuff on her desk is going to end up on my desk!
 
Good morning,
I am feeling a little better. Woke with a massive headache that all the coughing made worse. I am hoping to do Low Max and Core Max, Str. Max. I have not been sleeping well.

Lora, I personally don't use the Jolie's for plyometrics and jumping. The only cardio workout I have used them on is LowMAx, I use them on SS Shape it Up and Tone it up, KM toning at the end, ab work, and floor leg work being very careful not to lock out the knees. I have also used them to increase my weight on my barbell(Weider) which is not real large in diameter.

Dallas, how is your nephew? I hope he is recuperating well.

Terri, I remember reading about your son's interview. I hope it went well or goes well. I haven't reviewed here so am not sure when it was supposed to be

Have a great day everyone

Hello Everyone,
Today I plan on doing Tracies Endurance TLT. The only one I have not done yet.

Lora yes you can do plyo's, and jump with them :) They velcro onto the bottom part of your shoes laces and than they have eyelets where you then tie them when you tie your shoes.

Dallas agree with Susan on the DVD. It has some GREAT premixes on it:D

Sabrina Marietta gave you some great advice about getting back to working out again. Sometimes it seems like I to get off track, and I just plan a day to start up again. Like lets say if I have not been working out right now I would say Okay Mon. I am going to start working out, and then I just do it. After doing it a few days in a row. It seems like the habit just falls into place.;) Good luck!!

Terri did your son get the job? I hope so. How is his gf doing?

Well gott go. Will try and be back later!!

Hello Dallas, Susan, Diane Sue, Marrietta:D

Hello Ladies,

My son said the interview went well and he should hear something in the next day or so. Thank you all for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.

Nicole-His gf is doing well. She is an amazing person and has such a positive attitude. She had two tumors on her corated (sp) artery. One they surgically removed in the fall. They said the artery is too weak to handle another surgery so that is why they are doing the radiation this time. The tumor they removed was not cancer so I am sure this one iisn't either. Are you feeling better today?

Lora-I will have to check out your shoes. Did you order them online?
Diane Sue-Glad you are feeling better. You sure have a lot planned for today!
Sabrina-I hope that the advice you have been given helps you. I bet you will be back working out in no time.
Dallas-I hope your nephew and Sister and family are doing much better.
Susan and Marietta-How ar eyou ladies today?

Today is a Shape it up and I need to look atthe cathe roation for today and do that workout. I don't know why I cannot keep it straight! I am not sticking to her rotation exactly as is since I am also doing SS and upperbody so 90 minutes of cardio on top of that is too much somedays. I will check back in later.

Terri
 
You ladies are all workout animals. No wonder I never take a rest day. I don't do as much as y'all do!

Terri - I got the shoes on Zappos.com
 
Morning ladies!

Lora-I am still debating on the jolies too. I hope I can still get a pair when I decide to order. lol Enjoy your last day of freedom. Too bad your boss will be back tomorrow and that that paper stack will end up on your desk.

Diane Sue-Glad you are feeling a little better today. Take it easy!

Nicole-Marietta did give some good advice. I just need to choose my day. I have to work 1:00 to 5:00 and then I have to go to Bunko this evening. I have a couple things I need to get done this morning too. I guess it doesn't look like today will be the day to start again. lol

Terri-How did your sons interview go? How is his girlfriend?

Marietta-Thanks for the advice.

Susan-How are you doing? Has the baby slowed down any yet?

Dallas-Thanks for looking for that dress for me!!

I will be back later! Have a great day!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

My nephew is doing fine right now. My sister is hoping to be home by the weekend. Here my sister thought he had colic all this time. This is probably why he was fussy. Poor little baby! I can't wait until they get home, so i can run over there. Thanks again for all the prayers for them.:)

Lora ~ Those shoes sound nice. I had Saucony running shoes a LONG time ago. Could they be used for Cathe cardio? How's the support?

Nicole ~ How are you feeling? Looks like you must be feeling better...you're going to tackle some workouts! :) I think I got my neighbor hooked on SS! :) She did Shape it Up this AM and at the bus stop she want to see what else is available from BB.

Sabrina ~ I hope you find that dress. Did you call the State Street or Oak Brook Field's? It's a beautiful dress! Get the Jolies! I love them and use them for almost every workout. I haven't done them with cardio though. Marietta, gave you some good advice for getting back to your workouts. It's hard when your away, but usually after the first workout I'm hooked all over again. HTH!

Susan ~ How are you liking the TLTs? Are you still doing an AM and PM workout to split it up?

Marietta ~ Hope your work day is better today. How was that leg workout yesterday?

Diane Sue ~ Glad you're feeling a little better.

Today I did KPC thru combo 2, then GSL standing only thru those slow-motion lunges...OUCH! I felt the burn! }(. I still have GS-Chest to do and I may thru in some quick abs.

I may have to go to Chicago tomorrow. I got a summons for jury duty!x( Anyone know how I can get out of it?! I'm crossing my fingers & toes! I'll find out after 4:30P today if I have to go....wish me luck I don't get picked. ;-)

Have a great day everyone!

Dallas

ETA: Terri! I thought I got everybody...I'm sorry! Yes, tell us about your son. Gosh, his gf has already been through so much..I'll keep her in my prayers. What was the movie last night?
 
Good Morning Friends!!

I woke up a little late this morning and so I did CTX All Step and the shoulder work (adding on an extra set of each exercise). Today, I'm gonna do a good run at lunch. It's kinda cold, but I'm okay with that as long as my running buddies go...if they don't go, I'll stay inside on the treadmill...but I WILL get in a run one way or another.

Lora - So sorry your boss is coming back tomorrow...I'll miss you (smile). I haven't decided on the Jolies either...I think they sound great, but I just haven't made a move yet as I've got some other things on the radar right now (thanks to you).

Nicole - You should be in sales...you know that don't you??

Terri - Did you make it to the movies last night...what did you see? Did you son think the interview went well?? I hope for the best with you son's GF...it's great that she is so positive...that certainly helps.

Sabrina - You're welcome. Start when you can...that's all you can do...right?? Yeah...by the time we decide to order those Jolies we may not even be able to get them...I might need to make a decision pretty quickly on them.

I'll check back in later...

Dallas - You can get out of jury duty if you have a police record! Don't ask how I know that (*wink* -- oh the good ol' days).

Yes, I'll probably only be able to check in first thing in the morning and later at night.

>Nicole - You should be in sales...you know that don't you??

Marietta that brought a smile to my face:)

Terri what do you think of your Jolies (If I remember correctly when I took french...... jolie means happy I think, and that is just what they do haha...... are you reading that MARIETTA}(

Lora I so WANT your shoes!!! I wore saucony's when I was in cross country, and then I changed to nike, and nothing compared to the comfort of those saucony's I had OH SO MANY years ago.:D Tells us what you think of working out in running shoes?? My friends friend who is a personal trainer swears by brooks running shoes. She teachs step in them even??

Sabrina just get back on that horse:7

Dallas happy to hear you are spreading the SS word:7 ha ha. I think I am going to *try* and do 15-30 min of one of my SS dvds on top of the TLT work ut *if I have the energy??* Last night I did do about 20 min. of beginner dance dance revolution with my DD12. She is so good. I have been having fun doing that with the kids.

Susan I am saying prayers for you!! Your baby has been so active I am hoping it gets busy turning in the right postion. Tell him/her I said so:D

Diane Sue happy to see you are back and feeling better!!

Hi guys,

I had a meeting with my son's teacher this morning. One issue was brought up, and I knew it would sooner or later. It's regarding comments by other students, almost being picked on, about his size. Justin is VERY tiny. I have to learn how to address this with him on how to handle the comments. He's in Kindergarten and barely weighs 30 pounds.

This morning I did SH Back and LowMax Interval 1-4 premix.

I woke up with I'm not sure if you would call it a "flare up"...but I have posterior pelvic pain (a deep pain felt below and to the side, below the waistline on my right side of the sacrum). I had extreme difficulty getting through LM.
Now, the pain is so bad, it hurts to even sit. I don't know what to do. I'm trying to stretch, but it's not helping.

Lora, I've been wearing the Jolies, so I'm not sure if they are part of the reason my back hurts so bad or not. I do like them though. I liked using them in BBBB (jumps and all).

Diane Sue, I'm glad you're feeling better.

Terri, let us know how your son makes out. What movie did you see?

Sabrina, Like Marietta, I usually dont get into an exercise rut. I just *make* myself do it, even if I really dont feel like. It's like with anything else.... grocery shopping, laundry, heck, even going to work, you just have to do it. For me, I just think if I don't w/o my butt will drop to my knees in NO time! hahahahahaha

Dallas, I'm not sure what to suggest to get out of jury duty. You can stress you believe EVERYONE should get the death penalty. j/k

Ha ha Susan! Hey, would that work if I said that?! Lora, I took some baseball cards once when I was 6. I wanted the gum inside. LOL! Would that count? I remember feeling terrible after I did it.

Nicole, I've been wanting to try out that dance mat myself. My kids say it's too hard, but I told them they have to keep practicing. My neighbor has the same complain as most of us that she wants to work on her lower body more. I told her I have just the thing....SS. I've been trying to talk her into LL, L&G, and GSL. That will work too! How are you feeling?

Susan ~ That's right I did have the Jolie's on for BBBB. Any suggestions for the plate segment. My plate sticks to my workout mat!x(

My ds6 is having a playdate, but my other son (2) is trying to keep up with them. It's not working! :-( I better go play with him.

Have a great afternoon!

Dallas:)

ETA: Susan, are you OK? Is it a pregnancy thing? Or from a workout? Take it easy momma!

I just realized Monday I did Cathe - cardio, Tracie -BBBB, Debbie - stretch (cool it off) all in one day! LOL!
 
My pink sneakers are the ones Tracie is wearing in BBBB and I just HAD to have them and since I had E-bay $$....I got em. Yes, I think they're fine for aerobics. They are running shoes and I was a bit concerned, but I went for it cuz Tracie said they were good for aerobics. I did my TLP workout this morning, but it didn't have a lot of lateral moves.....other than lateral shuffles. I tried a few more after the workout and I think they feel better than any shoe I've ever had. I would probably buy a replacement pair exactly like them when they get too old to wear!

Dallas - I don't think the gum thing counts. I sure am glad I never have to worry about getting called for jury duty though. My husband also......never has to worry. We are both recovering addicts. Guess where we met? an NA meeting....is that too funny?
 
Evening ladies!

I just wanted to pop in real fast before I had to leave again. I have to go to bunko this evening. No clean eating for me! lol

Dallas-I found the dress and I have ordered it. I just hope it fits. I should have it no later than Friday the 20th. I finally found it at another store after a lot of searching. Thank you so much for looking for me. I really appreciate it!! I hope it looks good on me after all the work it took to find it. I have not worn a mango colored dress before.

I hope everyone has a great evening. I am off to get my riders in about 30 minutes.

See you ladies later!
 
Well Hello!

Just thought I'd drop in here before I leave work for the day. I did get my run in at lunch today. I did Cathe's advanced Treadmill workout...I ended up with about 6 miles.

Sabrina - I'm sure you'll look great in anything...don't even sweat it!!

Nicole - Yeah...I caught that!!

Diane Sue - Sure hope you're feeling better.

Dallas - My leg workout yesterday was great! I did the workout that Cathe had on the One body-part/day rotation. That one gets me everytime. I did the walking lunges (200) with 10lb dumbbells in each hand and I sure felt it. I think some on this forum have done that with even more weight...whew!!!

I'm getting ready to have praise dance practice...hope my creative juices flow tonight.

Take care and have a great night!!
