Morning Everyone,
Ugh....I haven't been able to sleep since last Thursday and have been functioning on 3-4 hours of sleep a night. Last night I was dead tired, but right when I went to bed, we had the worst lightning storm that kept me up. 4 hours of sleep again. I'm beat.

I did Firm CardioSculpt this morning. I only had time for a short workout, as I have to work the early shift due to a doctor appointment.

For those of you who asked what DVDs I purchased, I got some of the newer Core Secrets, Christi Taylor's Fantastic Four with Step Heaven & Hi/Lo Heaven (don't know if I'll ever pick up the coreography -- and I thought Cathe's was tough), Yoga Booty Ballet Live and the Tracie Long series (cuz people stated the series helped with their neck and shoulder problems - apparently on of the instructors in the series is a physical therapist). Oh, and I also bought the new Cathe ones.

Have Great Workouts everyone.
 
Hello,

Lora, I had sleep problems before. It lasted almost two years. When I finally went to the doctor, he gave me Ambien. It's a miracle sleeping pill! Is the Core Secrets DVD a w/o done on a stability ball? Have you done it yet?

Today I did GS C&T, followed by a 1.5-mile jog (Dallas are you doing the same w/o today?). Boy was it humid out...just the way I like it.

Dallas, I don't have a multi disk player either. It's really not a problem to change disks. I looked at you list of DVD's you have. I noticed you don't have *my* two favorites (hahaha) HSTA and SS. I highly recommend those to be added to your Cathe collection. If you don't like to do a lot (I mean a lot) of step-ups, then HSC is great also.

Sabrina, I hope your kids are feeling better today. That stinks they are sick during summer break.

Nicole, are you going to continue doing the slim series through August?

Marietta, thanks for you encouragement yesterday.

Have a good one!
Susan C.M.
 
Hi Ladies,

I did a 8.2 mile run yesterday and also PS legs floor work and abs. Not sure what my workout will be today.

Lorajc, It sounds like you bought some good workouts. Have fun with those. I hope you can get some more sleep tonight.

Sabrina, Is it still raining?

Have a great day ladies.
 
Good Morning!!

Having a crazy day today...hope it gets better!!

This morning I did PLB - I didn't get to do the ball work on the 200 lunges that are on the rotation. I'll try to get all that in during my lunch break.

The weather is great here and I really want to go for a run, but I don't think I'll be able to get it in....bummer!!

Lora...sorry you have not been getting much sleep. I hope it gets better sooner rather than later. Wow...how many workout videos/dvds do you own? Sounds like you have quite the collection.

Susan...so you like it humid?? I'm trying to get into it, but it's hard!! That was a good workout you had...I love GS C&T.

Sabrina...hang in there with the kids...this too will pass.

Nicole....what's up??!!

Beverly...3 words...YOU GO GIRL!!

Take care all....have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone,

Lora ~ Hope you "catch up" on your sleep. I go through periods of insomnia. It's the worst going on that little of sleep. I've been debating on getting Core Secrets myself. Let us know how you like it. I wonder how it compares to CM?

Susan ~ Yes, we did the same work out today, but I still have to do the run. I'll do that this afternoon. Since you did the same work out. I reached complete failure on two exercises, the close grip barbell press and cross body extensions. On the first one, I could only do 2 bonus reps (4 count up/down) and on the cross body extensions on set two I lowered my weight. Before I lowered my weight I had to self spot, is that cheating? Has this ever happened to you? Do you just lower your weight? I wonder if it's because I did all the push ups with even less breaks between sets? Usually I pause the DVD player, but today I paused it less. That last set of 2 reps of 4 counts I think I was going to fall on my face!

So, you really like HSTA? I could sub that for HSC? I don't think that I would get it in time for the rotation next week.

Sabrina ~ I hope your kids are feeling better. Wow! You even got a work out in, too!

Beverly ~ Are you running in this heat?! 8.2 miles, good for you!

Hi, to all who follow! Have a great day!

Dallas
 
Morning ladies!

I have kids that are feeling better today! I am putting medicine into my youngest sons cup with juice and he doesn't know the difference. He always took medicine before, don't know why he wont now.

Lora-sound like you got some good DVD's. Don't have them myself but have heard they are good ones.

Susan-I don't know how you can stand the humidity! Sounds like you are doing well and getting in a good workout.

Dallas-looks like you had a good workout too.

Beverly-I am with Marietta, "YOU GO GIRL"!!!

Marietta-have fun with those lunges! Hope your crazy day gets better.

Thanks for all the well wishes for my kids. At least they are getting it over with now and not waiting until we go on vacation Aug. 8.

I will do cardio of some kind today but not quite sure which one yet. KPC is a good possibility. But not sure.

Have a great day!!
 
Hello Everyone,
Hey Lora I am HAPPY to hear you are enjoying VF}( Isn't it a GREAT site!! This is the site that got me hooked on Cathe so I can relate to the monster......LOL

Susan I plan to do SS this week and next week! Then plan to start CTX FAUX rotation with Marietta and Dallas.. Would you care to join?? or any of you other gals here???? WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MANY :7

Dallas I plan on taking the week off from walking lunges also :) I have really been blasting my lower body so I just don't need to do them this week ha ha.

Sabrina sorry to hear about the sick kids hope everyone gets better soon.:) Yes I did finally get motivated and do firm it up. SS is very deceptive workouts. I am feeling doms in place's I never have. Hey you are going to be on vacation when we start our rotation. Maybe when you get back you can join us???

Beverly you are such a postive inspiration :D

Diane Sue Missed you yesterday!! Can't wait to see what you have been up to!!

Marietta and Dallas WHERE ARE YOUR RECRUITING SKILLS:7

Take care,
~Nicole
 
Susan - No, I have not done the Core Secrets yet. I got the series with Off the Ball, Accelerated Training Camp and one other one. I also called the 1-800 number and order 2 of the 4 new ones that aren't even on the website yet, Head to Toe and another one that I can't think of the name. I have that info at home. They sound like weight workouts that incorporate cardio bursts though. I'm trying to focus on working my core and functional fitness in hopes of helping my neck/shoulder problem, as my pain has been absolutely horrendous lately. I think part of it's due to lack of sleep and hormones right now though, as well as job stress.

Oh and I forgot....I ordered Powerstrikes Millenium 3 also but haven't rec'd it. I could really use a good kickboxing workout right about now though!!
