Hey girls! PYGFO! Wed 8/15

Cathlete
Yay for a good night's sleep! My brain didn't get stuck in that stupid worry loop the couple times a hot flash woke me last night. After the good news about Greyor and a good night's sleep, I feel ready to conquer the world. Today's workout will be one of the Gym Style upper body - which ever one falls off the shelf first.

Vicki, I doubt if your arms will become big balls of mush, but I know how you feel about skimping on the arm workouts. I was loosely following the August rotation before the RT and it focuses on lower body. I'm not sure when I last did an upper body workout. I bet my arms will be balls of mush AFTER my workout this afternoon.

Michelle, I keep going back to Tess's video clip of the step workout and getting all teary. My DH really thinks I'm crazy now.

Tess, love that video.

Lara, I eased back into the workouts by doing someone else besides Cathe. LOL. I did a step workout by Tracy. I'm afraid of my reaction when I hear Cathe later today.

Have a wonderful Wed. ladies. Remember how we all felt last Wed when the RT was still a couple days away?
 
Hey Robin and all who follow!

Robin: I'm so glad you are doing better! I did go and read your post about Greyor's visit and I am thrilled that it went well. You are such a good soul and deserve to be happy and have good things. I hope your mom is doing better. Oh, BTW, ugh... last night I was up with the night sweats too... about 5 times! My butt was soaked... I had to kick DH to his side of the bed. They just don't get the night sweat thing, do they?? ( did I overshare again about the butt?)

Okay, so now I am total procrastination mode. I have to go down to the dungeon ( I mean basement) and do SS/UB 2x. I am eating some PB right out of the jar ( I actually keep my own jar in the house for this purpose!) and need to get moving.

We have a meeting today with a pretty important producer who wants to work out a possible deal for recording my boys' 2nd album. This guy is a 2 time grammy winner, American music award winner and has recorded the likes of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Mellencamp, Patti Labelle.... and sooo many more. We're kinda nervous, but if it's meant to be it will be. He found the band and contacted us which is pretty cool. So, do me a favor my friends, send me out some good meeting vibes today, okay?? All your good vibes worked when I passed my PT certification, so I'm counting on you!!

Oh, BTW, I too am a bit obsessed with watching the RT videos and reading posts and looking at pics. My family is ready to shoot me!Oh well, it's just our secret little world at Cathe.com, now isn't it!

Gotta go get started. I'll BBL. Have a great day!!!:D :D :D
 
Vicki, prayers, thoughts and good vibes to you and the band. Whatever it takes. It sounds so exciting! By the by, my DH is well trained not to touch me while I'm sleeping. But my frontals sweat more than my, um, backals.
 
Robin, have fun with gym styles and thanks for hte update on Greyor. I am sending big hugs your way. I will probably do a GS or PUB tonight and I'm sure my arms will feel mush too.

Vicki, YOU Overshare??? Never. :) Sending really really good vibes on the band situation. PLEASE let us know how it turns out OK?

I keep watching the videos too. I'm obsessed with it. I'm surprised more people didn't take videos. Next time I'm taking a lot. I was worried about space on my camera but I only used 50 mg out of 1000 so guess I shouldn't have worried. Plus I had an extra 512 mg card with me to swap out. Oh well... I'm happy with the clip I did get and it's so cool that I got a lot of Brenda working out with us.

Last night I did spinning on the bike and this morning I walked with my neighbor who wanted to hear all the details and asked to borrow a DVD. Maybe we have a convert on our hands. :)
 
Robin... Um, I think you may have outdid me on the oversharing thing! Although, remind me to tell you the unfortunate inside out underwear situation from the first night of the RT. Tess and Michelle would be happy to fill you in as well, I'm sure. Although they were sworn to secrecy, since you shared about your *ahem* frontals, I guess it's okay! ;-)

Hey Tess and Michelle, BTW, it turned out to be "smooth" sailing. You should actually try it sometime. Quite comfy!

( I'm so shot... I know!)
 
Lol, you ladies crack me up! :) I started Cathe's timesaver rotation yesterday. I do not have a lot of time in the evenings, so this is going to work perfect for me. I had to make up for Monday though so I did the BM2 cardio and upper body last night - so much for the "timesaver" aspect. It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things though. Not exercising over vacation was a bummer.
 
Okay, one more post then I must ge get "humanized" for the meeting. I am sitting here with my protein shake post w/o, procrastinating as usual.

Liann: I just wanted to tell you that obviously not working out did not affect you at all. You know why? Because you are darned adorable!!! I know we had a deal, but the deal was I'd stop saying it if you'd stop being adorable... you obviously did not keep your end of the bargain. ( don't worry, I'll get sick of myself saying it pretty soon... ;-) ) seriously, hope you are well and all your critters did okay without you over the weekend.

Okay, I'm really going now!
 
Good Morning Ladies!

Do you know if anyone had a HRM on during the weekend? I am just curious to compare the intensity of the live RT workouts with the videos.

Do you guys find yourselves replaying the fun weekend over in your mind? I know my DH thinks I am nuts and totally obsessed!!:p

You guys are too funny. You make me laugh!


Robin--I am so sorry that I did not introduce myself to you. I truly regret that I did not get to meet and get to know so many of the wonderful ladies. I have some trouble getting out of my comfort zone sometimes.:(

Vicki--Exciting news about a possible record deal for you boys. Let us know!

Tess--Thanks for taking the video. Even though it shows me going left when everyone else is going right. Such pressure workoing out next to BRENDA!! Besides the fact the I really don't know how to record a video with my camera, I didn't want to stop the fun workout to take any pictures.

Liann--I don't think I had the pleasure of meeting you either.

Gin:)
 
Hey Gin, I could have swore you DID introduce yourself. Must have been some other Gin. If so, I'm sorry too. There were so many unfamiliar faces and so many of us tended to stick to those we "knew".

I saw someone wearing a HRM, but I'm not sure who it was. Maybe you can post a question over on the open dissusion board.
 
Vicki - It's a lot of work being this cute http://bestsmileys.com/freak/3.gif LOL!!! I miss you girl! I wish you lived closer so you could be my personal trainer. Your clients are SO lucky! :)

Gin - I really wish I had met more people especially from this check-in. I met a bunch really quick, but then didn't have much time after that to chat. I tend to be a little nervous introducing myself to people. I was so relieved when Vicki came over and said hi to me. I had been "stalking" her since she came in the room, but didn't get the guts up to go say hi myself. I probably would have never had the guts to get a picture with Cathe if my friend Beth didn't go with me. Yep, I'm a wimp...
 
I was so emotional after it all ended on Sunday and with sooooo little sleep. DH and I stopped for lunch on Sunday and our DS called to say he had just proposed to his GF. They were on speaker phone and I just started crying in the middle of the restaurant.:eek: What a GOON!! Then 2 minutes later, our younger son called to tell us older DS had asked him to be his best man. I just lost it. I was laughing and crying at the same time. The other people in the restaurant were looking at me like I was a crazy person! What an emotional day!

I really am happy for them.:)
Gin
 
Aww gin, congrats to everyone involved. That is awesome! I replied to your post on my video thread about taking your goofy pic. I'm glad you still want to be friends after I posted it on the world wide web. :) I love it though. You are too cute for words and I just love that you were representing TX.

Liann, awesome emoticon. Yes it's a lot of work being cute isn't it??? :)
 
Hey Ladies!

Hi Lara- I didn't realize it was you I rode to the airport with untill I got on the plane and was looking at my whos who book. I think I was just happy to be getting to the airport early:)
Anyway, it was nice of you to share your shuttle with me.:)

Robin- glad to hear your GS is doing good, hows your Mom?

Vicki-how exciting for your boy's!! Please let us know.
And about the underware thing..I am not saying anything, but I know Tess posted a bulletin about it!! j/k LOL!:p

Tess- I was worried about space on my camera also, but turns out when you don't take pictures you have alott of space left.:p

Liann- I agree with Vicki, you sure looked good for not working out!I am also a wimp when it comes to meeting people, that is why I stuck to Vicki and Tess like glue:+

Hi Gin-Congratulations to your son and family! I have to say I loved your Texas outfit, and your Texas socks:)
Trudi(TRUTON) was wearing a HRM. If I remember correctly she said she burned 600 calories in the kb class on Saturday.

Well lets see what did I do today...stayed online way to long, again--laundry-drove kids around town. I have yet to workout, and now it's too hot to do anything. Maybe tomorrow;-)

ttyl,
Michelle
 
Hey PYGFO's, Cathe posted a lovely thank you to US on the Road Trip forum.


Michelle, thank you for asking. I talked to my sister a bit ago and she said today was a good day. My mom has a walker now and my sister got some "stuff" taken care of around the house. They are looking at nursing homes now. We are thinking she may go into one for a brief stay until my sister can make arrangements for her to move into one in WA, where my sister lives. DH and I will be leaving Friday afternoon for a quick visit.
 
Hey Robin ( I mean BUFFET GIRL... see, I was lurking over at the fun forum!! I missed out on all the fun too!): sooo glad to hear that your mom is doing better. Hope your visit goes well Friday!

Long day today... all good though. I'll fill you guys in on the meeting with producer tomorrow. Feeling kinda drained. YAAAAWN!

...and to all, a good night
 
Hello everyone. You all are cracking me up!!! I needed a little laughter to get me through the rest of my paperwork tonight!!

Robin...How was your workout with Tracy? I do not have any of her videos, but I am intersted in buying one after meeting her on the RT!! Do you have a favorite? I am glad your mother is doin better. Please keep us posted!

Vicki...How cool to be meeting with a famous producer!! You live such an exciting life!!! I hope it went well. Let us know!!

Tess...I think the videos clips of the RT are so cool! I have only found a few, but I keep watching them over and over!! I think it may have been one of your videos that I found of me working out right beside Brenda. How exciting!!! I told her it was an honor to work out beside her...she completely rocks!!

Liann...I am also very cruched for time this week. It is SO not a good week for that. I have to get back in my wedding dress next Saturday for the party. I just want to fit in it...Cathe---Please help me!

Gin...I also did not get up enough nerve to introduce myself to everyone. I found myself just staring at people I "knew" from this forum. Maybe next year:) Congrats to you, your family, and your son!!

Michelle...Too funny!! I din't realize you were "copwife" on the shuttle. I kept thinking you were so familiar (from you picture). I am glad we got a chance to meet and share the shuttle!! Hope you had a great trip home :)

Robin...Isn't Cathe the greatest???!! What a sincere post!

I love chatting with you all now that we have an idea of who everyone is. You all are great!! See you tomorrow.
