Morning Everyone,

This morning I did PLB Pyramid Up Premix & then upper body and core work from Muscle Max.

Susan - I'm curious. Where do you work? I just wondered because you said you have the Forum up a lot at work. I need a job like you! LOL

Have great workouts everyone. I'll try to checkin from work.....depending on who's around today and who's spying on me.

Diana Sue - I hope you got some sleep last night.

Terri - Which BB workout did you end up getting from your neighbor and have you tried it yet?

Hi to everyone else.
 
Morning Ladies!

I am getting ready to walk the boys to school. I found my step counter yesterday and thought I would use it. See how many steps I am getting in out of curiousity. Well I managed to get flip it off my shorts and into the toilet!! LOL! I bet I couldn't do that again. :p

Lora-I hope you don't get caught at work again. Be careful!

I will check in again later! Have a great day everyone!! :)
 
Hi Ladies.

Today it says rest on the rotation I am doing but you all know me :) Seriously though I don't feel like a rest day yet. I will make it a lighter day though. I haven't decided what yet but I will let ya know :)

Lora-It was Dallas whose neigbor loaned her a BB dvd. Becareful at work today !
Sabrina-Sorry but I laughed out loud about your step counter :) Sounds like something I would do.

Ok I will be back later.

Terri,

I was laughing too when I did it! You should have seen me standing there with a pair of tongs trying to get it out. I had a baggie in the one hand and the tongs in the other. All I needed was for my 3 year old to come in and ask "what are you doing mommy?" Thank goodness he didn't or he would be playing in the toilet with the tongs! LOL! :D
 
Good Morning Ladies!

Sabrina ~ LOL! That's sounds like something that I would do! I probably would have stood there scratching my head wondering who was going to fish the thing out! LOL! Yes, if my little guy saw me playing in the toilet he would be all over it. In fact, I just got him to stop playing in there a few months ago - after many time outs! Yuck!

Lora ~ Yeah, that was me. Her DH has been at the bus stop because she's been so sick. I sure hope our family didn't give it to her! :-( Anyway, I haven't seen her to talk work outs again. I know she wants to try one of my Cathe kickbox. Should I loan her KM or KPC? I still get winded from the blast challenge in KM, so maybe KPC would be better? I'm nervous about loaning my DVDs to someone I just met though.

Terri ~ What crazy thing has Charlotte cooked up for you today?! LOL! I may pick and chose some of her work outs on that rotation. Right now I'm doing my own thing until I can pick a rotation.

Susan ~ You never said what you liked/disliked about P90X. Just curious. I can't imagine doing anyone else right now (besides Cathe). I've gotten great results since finding out about her in January. I still have work to do!

Where's Marietta been? Hi Diane Sue! Nicole, are you back yet? Hope your sister is OK.

Oh yeah, today I plan on doing S&H. I think chest and back. May add some cardio again, too.

I'll check back later!

Hiya!

This morning I did Viper. I really didn't need to substitute anything except for the plyo jacks. I did heel jacks instead.

Lora, I work for a very small company selling natural herbal supplements. Most of what I do is on the computer and phone. I can wear a sweat suit to work if I wanted. I've been with the co. so long my pay is very nice, but the job stinks. I'm really board most of the time. I could find more things to do, but just don't have the ambition anymore.
I also wondered why Cathe doesn't include any of the Terminator w/o's in her rotations. When she said it was one of the top dvd sellers I thought about asking her then.

Dallas, thanks for asking about my other "situation". I have to have a coloscopy on Friday morning. I'm not looking forward to it. Afterwards, I go to another medical bldg. for genetic counseling and ultrasound ~ you know, since I'm so old. I don't think I'll need to have an amnio test done.
I'm sorry I didn't reply to your email re: P90X yet. I saw it this morning. I'll get back to you today.

Sabrina, how many steps is it to the school and back?

Terri, so you're on week 2 of the toasty rotation...how do you like it? Are you sleeping better?

Diane Sue, do you think IMAX3 is more intense than IMAX1? For me, IMAX1 is the toughest. hmmmm.... maybe it's the higher step.

Hi Marietta!

I hope we hear from Nicole soon. I hope things are going ok for her and her family.

Question for you smart ladies. I was doing S&H-CT this morning and during the pullovers I noticed I was getting a burn in the triceps. I did go a little heavier. Also, I noticed that when I held the db like Cathe and crew that I felt the tricep working more, but when I held it by holding each end of the db I didn't feel the tricep engaging as much. Otherwise the exercise felt great! Is that normal?

I could post this in a new thread, but I figured you girls would know.

Thanks! Dallas
 
Susan-I have no idea how many steps it is yet since I dropped it in the toilet. I will have to get another one. Oh well. Know of a good one? Maybe water resistant? LOL!;-)
 
Ok I am back from meeting with a client and now must decide what workout I am going to do.

Susan-I am doing a harder version of Chralttes rotation. I am liking it a lot. I did sleep better last night...Thanks for asking! Good luck on friday and let us know how it goes. I too would like info on p90x if you can e-mail me that would be great!

Dallas-I don't have a answer for your question. Where is Marietta when we need her :)

Hello to Diane Sue and Marietta and whoever else has not checked in yet. I will be back to let you know what I wind up doing:)

Terri
 
Sabrina - I just saw your post about the show Rockstar: INXS. I just started watching a couple of weeks ago. I vote for Marty so far!!
 
HI Lora!

It has been a great show. There has been a lot of talented people on it. Marty is who I have been rooting for too. Last night made me see that the others have a good chance too though, I thought the guys did really well last night.

I have to play Bunko tonight so I will miss who wont get to go to next weeks show. WAAAAHHHHH!! Maybe I will have to see if the ladies will turn on the TV while we play. ;-)
 
Good afternoon,
Today I did Low Max, then I did S&H chest and ticeps, S&H abs, SJP abs and MM abs. I used my shoe weights, med ball and a dumbell doing these. Followed witht he MM St.. I will do lower and shoulders tomorrow. I want to get in SS upper blasts either Friday or Saturday.

Lora, I still am having a hard time sleeping. I woke around 12 oclock and then it was in and out till 3. I got up at 4:30 because I was wasting time lying there. I bought some tylenol sleep at the store today just in case. I dont really want to resort to using those things though.

Sabrina, I had to laugh when I read about your step counter. It sounds like the kind of thing that would happen to me.

Susan, I really do feel I Max 3 is more intense then 1. I do use an 8 inch step on one and part of 3. I start 3 on a 6 " but do the last three intervals on 8".

Dallas, On the pullovers, my Bowflex book says it works the triceps muscles on the back of the upper arms as they are involved in maintaining the elbow position and help wih the shoulder motion.

Hi to everyone and have a great day:)

Evening!

I just finished my cardio. 50 minutes into it my feet went numb. Just three of my toes starting with the baby toe and going over?!?! On both feet! Isn't that weird? Oh well, I finished with SM segment #2. I wanted to try out Rodney Yee. So, I also did 10 minutes of his Stamina work out.

I just realized I said I did S&H-CT. I did S&H -C&B. That's why I was wondering why my tricep was getting a burn during the back portion. Thanks, Diane Sue for the explanation. I thought it was from going a little heavier and maybe I wasn't ready.

Tomorrow, I'll do S&H biceps, triceps, and shoulders. I know that I'll add on as well.

Sabrina ~ I saw your post too about that show, but if I don't Tivo I don't get to watch it. However, that's no guarantee either.

Have a good night everyone!

ETA : I hope all of you get a good night's sleep. I hate when that happens to me too! :-(
