Hey haters. Didn't see that anyone started this thread yet so I figured that I would.

Last night I only could do 6 cycles of Bootcamp. Gannon was mad, mad, mad and wouldn't stay in his bug anymore. So I had to stop and I was looking forward to finishing the entire workout. Oh well. I *think* I'm going to do Imax2 tonight. We were told that we can work though our lunch today so I won't be taking a walk. We've got soccer so I"m hoping that I can workout around 8:00 tonight. We'll see.

So what is everyone else doing today?

Michele - how are things with you today? Glad to hear that your DH said he is getting some type of reimbursement. Hopefully that will help with your car.

Diane - did you do lunch w/co-workers yesterday? Were you able to find time to get in a run?

Jana - what's up with you today? You've been getting in some pretty good workouts.

Char - my idol! :) What are you doing today? Our bathroom at work is nowhere near big enough to do plyos. Maybe squats but that's about it. My boss has a tv and DVD player in her office. I've often been tempted to bring in one of my Cathe DVD's.

Ellen - how are you today? Hope things calm down soon.

Robin - are you here or have you officially fell in love with cardio and desserted us?

Have a fun filled cardio day!
 
Hi Dana!

I just realized we started this thread about the same time. I'll repost here.

By the way, I'm in awe of anyone that can complete 6 cycles of Bootcamp! I can't imagine ever being able to accomplish that. Good luck with Imax 2 ;)

I overslept today BIG TIME!! It felt good but now I'm waaayyy behind. Thank goodness all my rotation calls for today is one segment from Total Body Stretching.

I did get my work out in last night and I actually showed signs of improvement. I'm going to try to add 1 set of risers to the platform the next time.

I have to run...I am so far behind already, it's not funny. Keep your fingers crossed that they finish the repairs on my car today. They said there's a chance it won't be done until tomorrow and oh, I hate that.

You gals have a good one and I'll try to check back later.

Michele:)
 
Hey yo haters what's happening?

Dana~ I just noticed..have you lost more weight? I think you have if so good work! You rock momma! BTW if you made it through 6 cycles and did not fall over then you are doing great. I have the love/hate realtionship with bootcamp. The first cycle kills me with those darn air jacks, uhhh how I hate those. I am planning on doing that one on Friday, but will be eating breakfast before attempting. No way I would do that one without breakfast. Keep up the good work. I am thinking about getting IMAX2, how do you feel about it?

Michele~ oh where oh where has Michele gone? I know you must be doing your cardio! haha! HOw are things with the family in town? Having fun? What else is going on in your world?

DMOney~ What's happening sista'. Looks like the nice weather might continue a little longer, it was so nice out yesterday. My DD gets a little on the cranky side aroun 4PM so I take her out for a walk since it is nice, don't know what I am going to do in the summer time....way too hot!

Char-Char~ I went ahead and notified the looney bin and they will be coming for you in the paddy wagon! haha! How is life treating you today? what's on tap for your cardio?

Ellen~ hang in there, we are always here for you.

Robyn~ I believe she has fallen in love with cardio again and is still back in the honeymoon stage.

I did not get my cardio in today, I was planning on LowMax (step sections only) and PUB, however my legs were just not going to let LowMax happen today (DOMS) so I opted for PUB only. Good workout. Might try to squeeze in some Yoga to help with the DOMS. It's not too bad, but I want to not over do it. Just will add cardio in on Sunday.

Ok I am out. Got school work to complete. I actually did get a compliment from my witch professor. She told me I was a talented writer just needed to watch my APA format. I am like lady oh come on you always have to find something to complain about....so over her....can't wait to be done with her!!!
 
Hi Everyone -

Dana - Bootcamp is a hard one, 6 cycles will definitely give you a good workout. The week before my wedding I was staying at my mom's house for like 5 days in San Antonio so I of course had to bring my Cathe videos and all the equipment. My family thought I was crazy, lugging all the dumbbells, barbell, high step, etc. Anyway, my sister, who is uber-competitive with me, was going on and on about how she is so in shape and has been doing these bootcamp classes at the gym 3 days a week and running a lot. So I was like, hey do you want to do a bootcamp tape with me? She was like, I don't like videos, they are too easy, blah blah blah.

Anyway, so I popped in Bootcamp, and every cardio cycle she was huffing and puffing and couldn't finish and was making all sorts of excuses. She couldn't do full reps of any of the weights (even with lighter weights than me) and definitely couldn't do the core work, just sat and watched me. :) So was so full of excuses, saying she thought it was dumb or whatever, but the truth is she was embarrassed that she couldn't do it, after she had gone on and on about how in shape she was. Showed her!

Michele - Have a nice stretch today! I haven't tried the stretch workouts yet, but I have 2 of them tivoed from Fittv and waiting to be done.

Toasty - What torture do you have planned for yourself today? Is today the first day of work?

Ellen - I hope things are looking better for you and that you are having a great day.

Jana - Don't worry about b!%ch professor, she will get hers someday...hopefully soon.

Yesterday I went to lunch, which was fun, and then went to the gym after work and did a cardio medley - 15 min of each of the elliptical, step mill, and Arc trainer. It was really hard, I guess because these are different modes of cardio my body hasn't adapted to yet. I was sweating buckets.

This morning I did my 30 min run/walk. It felt a little harder, I think I wasn't properly hydrated, but not too bad. Today I am going to lunch with some of the same co-workers to this nice restaurant I really like that has the very best salads where you can choose your own toppings. It takes at least 1 1/2 hrs to eat lunch there, but it is soooo yummy.
 
Michele I had a feeling we'd post at the same time.

Jana - I do like IMAX2, of course I have to make many modifications. But the music is great and the steps aren't that hard to follow. As for the first cycle of BC and the air jacks, I had to pause it and run to the bathroom. Darn babies! I love PUB, plan on doing it either tom, Fri or Sat. I'm off Thurs, Fri and Mon so I'm hoping to have some extra time to get in some additional workouts.

When are you done with that class? It'll be a relief to get away from that professor. Sounds like a real gem.

Later gators!
 
Ok where is everyone today??? hiding or what???

Dana~ oh yeah 7 more weeks with this witch!!! uhhhh......You are too funny with the air jacks comment. I had to run to the potty today so I am with you on that one. My DD is soooo not a happy baby today...uuhhhhh...she is driving me nuts...been crying all day, no fever, no dirty diaper, just fed her....no idea what is going on....uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................just cranky, woke up on the wrong side of the pack n play today (still will not sleep in the crib). Just cranky today. I think I am going to get Imax2, I think it is time for it (as if I need any more Cathe workouts!. I think I need to own all of them and then I will be happy! haha! I still laugh at the Quizno's comment from yesterday, that was a good one!

Diane~ Where did you go for lunch and how come I don't know about a place where I can get a killer salad like that...you must share! hehe!

Michele~ Do we have the sled(that's car in JanJan talk) back? I personally could never go with out the a/c but it is just a bit warmer here then in Ohio. I think it's too cold when it is 50 outside..what does that tell you! haha!

Char-Char~ where's Char-Char?


Ok back to cleaning the closet. I swear I hate doing this. BBL
 
Okay, I've got like 1 second to post and then I have to get going. I have a memorial service this evening out of town and I still haven't showered.

My eye appointment was moved to tomorrow so guess what I did instead!?!?!?!? I did Basic Step again so I'm back on schedule. I should've done uipper body strength too, but not enought time so I'll hit that tomorrow. I've now done step 2 days in a row!

My car should be ready in about an hour so I'll drop off my rental and get it on my way to the service. By the way, we've already had temps in the 70's here in Ohio. It actually gets pretty hot and humid here, especially in SW Ohio where I live. I've used the A/C even in lower temps because it still gets very warm in the car if the sun is shining. So there:p :p :7

You gals are doing great! I don't have time to address everyone indidually today but I've read all your posts and you inspire me and make me laugh like he!!.:7 Would someone PLEEEEAAAASE explain the Quiznos joke!?

Michele:)
 
I'm here, girls!!!! I have been a taxi cab driver today to two teenagers...mine!!! I am still trying to get caught up on my cleaning too. Just got home from dentist office. Children donot have cavaties. Got the usual lecture about son's teeth and how he needs dental work. ALREADY KNOW THIS..THANK YOU!LOL! Next year he is getting braces, etc. I don't really have any major cardio going on today. Just working all body parts. I am so glad for this cuz don't think my legs will want to jump today. I had to out race this lady to the dental office to get there before her as I didn't want to wait. She had heels on and I didn't, but I was walking really fast...kinda lopsided like I got off a horse or something. These workouts have been kicking my booty bad!!!!! I like it!!!! TEE HE!

Michele~ the Quizno's joke is the commericals at the end they go.."uuummm, uuuummmm, ummmm...toasty" and Char-Char is Toasthemosty (think I sp that wrong) get it toasty, quizno's...oh come on I am a blonde and I got it duh!?
hehehe!!

Oopsy...I do have cardio today. See, I am so friggin' busy I don't know what I am doing. Gotta go run on my bike before it storms and then do BBM. I will see if my son wants to go with me...looks like rain is coming so got to hurry. Tomorrow is circuit work (upperbody).

Later.

Hi Ladies -

Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I ended up not being able to go to lunch last minute, a huge problem came up at work. I've had a very stressful day so far and it might go late tonight. Boo. At lunch at my desk working while eating. Just too much going on right now and I might have messed something up so might be in trouble. Blah.

Anyway, Jana, the salad place I was telling you about is Artista. During lunch you can choose 8 from the following: like 8 different types of salad greens, 20 different veggies (like grilled aparagus, an entire avocado, etc.), a bunch of different cheeses (I get the goat cheese, yummy) and different dressings. You can also add chicken, steak, salmon, shrimp, whatever. The interior is really swank too, with these neat cushy chairs. You should probably make reservations if you are going for lunch or dinner. Here is the website:

http://www.cordua.com/Artista Home.htm

Unfortunately, it doesn't show the list of all the stuff you can get on the salad, you get this little card from the server and you check off the 8 things you want on it. Very fun. If you get dessert, get the delirio de chocolate. I am "crazy" about it ;)
 
Diane~ can you believe that is the only rest I have not been to in that family. We were making a comment about going there the other day. I sold them some products back in the days and have tons of gift certs they gave me. I love Amazon Grill..so easy and so yummy now I am going to go to Artista. Thanks for the info!

Sorry about work, hey we are all human right? Not perfect all the time! Hang in there!
 
I have never been to Amazon Grill, but I love Americas and Churrascos. I will have to try Amazon. They are very proud of the fact that they have no steak knifes in the restaurant - their steaks are so tender you only need a butter knife. :9
 
LOL. No..I haven't fallen in love with cardio...I just haven't done any so I'm not allowed to post on this thread (bad Robin)!! I am going to try to do some PlyoX tonight. I'm praying for some burst of will to overcome me.

Maybe I can redeem myself?????? Shoot, all of you are doing so well!

Bad Robin:p
