Good morning, ladies :) ~ Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, my plans were completely thrown off yesterday when I had some drop-in visitors who stayed til 8 pm -- :) and :(. So much for my workout. Well, what are you gonna do - that's life. But the big :( is that my school district seems to still be open!! ACK! We have an ice warning til 10 am...NOT fun driving.

My workout plan for after school is GS CT and maybe some cardio if I have the itch.

Laura :: glad you rec'd the shirt...can't wait for our Bar Method DVDs to arrive!!

Have a terrific day, ladies!
Cathy :)

ETA: I just got the call - school's off!! YESSSSSS!! I was dreading a white-knuckle drive!! And now I have lots of time to work out and grade some of those darned papers!!! Yippppeeeee!!! :) :) :)
 
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY CHEETAHS!!!

Cathy - YIPPEE.......for you. Enjoy your day off! I know I love it when school is closed and I can catch up on so many things around the house. :) ENJOY!

I have good }( DOMS from Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X yesterday! Whew....That was a really fun workout, I did really like it. Today is Yoga X. Not sure what to think of that one, I haven't been able to catch on to the Yoga crazy??? I'm VERY unflexible!!! So, none of the moves ever seemed very easy.

Have a great day, Cheetahs - make sure to give your love ones lots of smooches! :* :* :*

Marcia.
 
Good Morning Cheetahs!

Cathy: What a warm fuzzy title today....for Valentine's Day no doubt!:) Glad your school is closed. I am watching local news and the list of closings is LOOOOOOONG!

We have an inch or 2 of ice/snow mix on the ground right now and the ice is still falling. ACK! I'm soooo happy I got coverage for work today in anticipation of this. Maybe the daycare wont' even open...I doubt many will be running to the gym anyhow.

Marcia, Shoulders and Arms is an awesome work out. I am so glad you are liking the X! That's so great! I hope you get great results! I know that I am!

Today is Back and Biceps/ARX for me. B&B is not my fave X work out but hey, can't have everything, right? :p I'm feeling my legs after y'day's work out. No true DOMS yet but I'm sure it will come! }(

Okay, I'll be back in a bit with personals since I never came back y'day.
 
Jess: Sorry, not joining the eating thread! I like to cheat too much! LOL That's not really true but if I join another check-in I think my head is gonna explode! LOL Not enough time to keep up!:)

Carole: How does your ham/glute feel today? Better still, I hope.

Barb: You have a TM at home and you even bothered to head out in the nasty cold!? ^5's to you! I know I wouldn't even think twice...I'd be on that TM so fast it would make your head spin! LOL

Karen: How did the V'day party go? Were they serving wheat thins? :p

Susan: You tempted me with your HSTA suggestion y'day but it was not an option. That dvd is out on loan to a forum member while I do the X. Have a nice lunch with your hubby today.:9

Laurie: The cardio helped me get over the guilt of my bad eating weekend. That's for sure. I remember when I did a kickbox/upper body weight mish mosh a while ago...OMG, I couldn't move the next day-AWESOME doms!!! I wrote it down. I can pm it to you if you want it!}(

Linda: I know what you mean about not having time to fit it all in. When there are so many great options you really have to work in rotations and move thing in and out of the rotions often in order to get it all in. I run into this problem often. It's hard when we want to do it all, huh?

Christine: I haven't down Power Hour in ages. Just did the abs the other day though and they are tough! What's on tap for today?

Thomasina: Awwww...I hope you and your pup enjoyed the snooze y'day. I will often do that with my golden as well. After lunch and before a work out I will sometimes catch a snooze with him.:+ He's always more then happy to accompany on the bed for some shut eye! :7

Sunny: LOLOL-about the candy for the teacher!!! Don't you know you have to buy something that YOU DON'T LIKE so you WON'T EAT IT!?!? LOLOLOL :p

Hello to Kristi, Judy, Laura and Gayle!:+
 
Happy Valentine's Day, Cheetahs! I'm up & off to do IMAX 3. My dh got up, but the office is closed til noon (and who knows if I'll make it then!). So... I'll get to spend the morning w/ my Valentine! ;-) I think I'll make some special Valentine waffles after my workout. My kids love when I do things like that. (just add a little red food coloring!)

OK, I'd better get my workout done while everyone's still asleep! I'll be back later though!

Cathy ~ Enjoy your snow day! Yeah!!
 
Happy Valentine's Day Cheetahs! I hope your DH or loved one shows you how much they love you, which they should do every day.

Today started off to a shaky start. Yesterday we got an inch of rain, but over night it all turned to ice. It was 16 degrees when I went out the start the car. When I got to the car all of my doors were frozen shut so I had to go back into the house to get a gallon of water to open the doors. Luckily it worked. However my biggest challenge was getting the kids to the car without any of us falling. I took them one at a time. Luckily I didn't fall with them, but as I was carrying DD I almost fell 4 times. Needless to say school is closed here today too, but it doesn't affect my family's schedule since both of my kiddos are still too young for school and our daycare always is open.

Snow bound Cheetahs - Send some of that snow my way. I want more snow. It would be nice to have a snow day from work.

Wendy - Enjoy your day off work. How is P90X going?

Cathy - Enjoy your snow day too!

I'll be back later. Waves to all Cheetahs!
 
Happy Valentines Day Everyone. It is snowing and icing here like you
would not believe. We are stuck in doors for today that is for sure.
Today I did PUB and then the stability ball work from Butts and Guts.
That is really my favorite ab workout of all time. So fun. Have a great day.

Good Morning Cathy and Marcia

Jess- Enjoy Imax 3

Krisiti- It sounds like we are having the same weather day.

Wendy- Enjoy your day off. No wheat thins at the party. Just large amounts of cookies. Not good I say, Not good at all for me.

Be back for more later

Happy Valentine’s Day Cheetahs!!

I’m suffering a bit of DOMs today from Power Hour – especially in the chest. Feels good! I think I’ll do I Max 2 today. Haven’t done that for a while, and could use a nice cheerful workout before work. My DH is away on business so my Valentine is big and furry and really, really sweet. My other Valentine’s are asleep – they have late start today at school.

Cathy – Oh, I’m glad school is cancelled! I would not want my kids going to school in ice!! Enjoy your time off for your workout and your papers!!! I do miss snow days!

Marcia – Yoga X is LONG, but it’s not your typical yoga workout. You may like it. And I think they more you do it, the more you like it.

Wendy – Glad you get to stay home, too! Ice is not fun! I liked Back and Biceps, but I love working those two groups. Glad you’re enjoying the X!

Jess – sounds like a really sweet plan! Enjoy your Valentine’s Waffles! And your time with all of your Valentines!

Kristi – Oh wow – that sounds scary! You’re brave for getting out there in it. It looks like a mess all around.

Karen – Great workout!! Sounds like you needed it after the cookies… I’ve hidden mine from my view. One serving of Thin Mints for me is an entire sleeve!!

Hi to all who follow! TTFN!

Edited to add - We *HEART* our Cathy, too!!!
 
Happy Heart Day!

We are snowed in here in western NY too!

Wendy & Cathy- Thankfully you do not have to work today!

I have a big kitty on my right arm and am typing one handed. Today will be EXT and stretching and shoveling.

Ok I am going to go read a bit from y'day....

edit_ Hi Christine!

Judy "Likes2bfit"


If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
 
happy valentines day!

I ended up doing turbo jam cardio party instead of running the treadmill. By the last 10minutes or so though I was getting bored. seemed like the same old same old. I ended up getting the taebo advanced get ripped workouts off of ebay . I hope I will enjoy those better.I am going to attempt to drive out in this snow to go to work even though half our people call in. they look for excuses not to go to work and I dont want to leave the few that do come in hanging all by themeselves.

chat with you all later!
 
Oh I'm bummed - got candy and cards for the girls, and hid it in my gym bag without really looking. I must have left the cards at the store! They were cute, too! I can't find them anywhere!!


Hi Judy and Laura!!
 
Good morning to everybody! BE CAREFUL in this weather! It's been sleeting here since 7pm last night. Schools are all closed down, and actually, I'm expecting at least a delay tomorrow too! Gave the kids their Lego Valentines and I'm heading downstairs to make them breakfast in a bit. They were up at 6AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's with that??? LOL

OK....I was up early too. Hit the basement (45 degrees today!!!) and did PLB going heavy then a 5 mile run on the TM. Next time, I'll reverse that order! LOL. My hamstrings were so tight after the run that I almost tripped getting OFF the TM! LOL

Cathy-glad the school is closed. Ours was announced last night, so I was prepared to sleep in!

Marcia-Glad you’re enjoying the X! Have you officially started a rotation yet or are you still experimenting???

Wendy-I’d like to hear about your kickbox/upper body MM. I’ve got UB tomorrow and after doing Judy’s SS/PP mish mosh, I want to keep mixing things up for UB. PM me when you get a chance, PLEASE???

Jess-Enjoy your Valentine, AND the red waffles! Great idea….I’m gonna use it too!

Karen-I really like the abs on B&G too!

Christine-enjoy Imax 2!!!!!

Judy-How much snow/ice do YOU have in NY???? Looks bad on the news!

Laura-BE CAREFUL outside! I love hunkering down and I would be one of those looking for an excuse to stay home too! LOL

BBL

Hi Cheetah Valentines,
I took Susan’s suggestion—dug up HSTA and I did the leg presses & the UB on HSTA today doing 2 sets on most of the exercises except biceps, but skipped cardio & legs. Then I did KPC abs, because I didn’t get to abs y’day. I hope to go on a nice walk in the snow with a friend later today.

Yesterday was a mess with the snow – though we are all happy today to have a snow day today.

I was stuck in bad traffic driving 2 kids home, making a 15 minute drive a 45 minute one. Then had to "scoot" back home to get my older DS to drive him. A long afternoon in the car & sitting.

Cathy—sounds like a fun night with friends—and even better, you get a snow day! Keep me posted on what you think of that bar method DVD-set you ordered. It sounds interesting.

Marica-good luck with Yoga X.

Wendy—go girl go on Back & Biceps + ARX. About the TM v. outside: if I do too much treadmill, my hips bother me more, so I try to get outside, even if its cold & dark. But y’day I hit my limit. The dark-thing is just no fun. I probably bought too cheap of a TM because if I use one at a gym that’s better quality, I don’t get the hip issue. Ok-where’s the “high” five key on the computer keyboard?


Tomasina—I hope your nappy helped you feel better y’day. So the snow kept me away from the parent team beating and a lot of people didn’t go. I’m amazed the high school people didn’t cancel the meeting. The driving was horrific. I’m really impressed with your volunteer work on top of all you do. I only do a little bit of volunteering – and only really circumscribed tasks (learned that the hard way LOL).


Hi Kristi—That ice sounds scary. That was smart thinking to use the water to open the doors. I think ice is one of the scariest weather conditions. Good for you for trudging forward with the day. I have some snow packaged up to send off to you! Great to see you “back” in Cheetah-land!

Karen—great workout today! Have fun with your snow day with your kiddos.

back in a minute
:)

Barb
 
WENDY!!!! I've got DOMS just from reading that mish mosh! LOL. I get major DOMS across my upper back and shoulders from CK alone! LOL. I will be doing this one tomorrow morning! THANKS FOR SHARING the DOMS wealth! lol

Gayle

p.s. Hi, Barb. Glad you can settle in quietly today!
 
LOL Gayle! I can't wait to hear what you think and how you feel the next day! I loved it and boy was I in full swing DOUBLE-TIME DOMS the next day!}( }( }( It's a long one though so make sure you have the time!:)
 
Christine—I feel better that you have DOMS from PH because that tape is hard for me to do. Have fun with IMAX2. Yesterday being a solo parent was no fun with all of that snow driving. But it’s cozy at home today with just mom & the kids. Hope you have a fun day. It was sweet of you to get your kids & DH valentines!

Judy—welcome to the world of snow. It’s really very pretty. How’s your hip?


Carole – sorry about that pain in the a$$. I guess better that it’s DOMS-related rather than DH-related. I have had some luck sitting on a tennis ball to relieve deep butt-cheek strain. Did your massage therapist have any insight for you. You are a nice DD to help out your mom with her computer.

Laura—I love TJ cardio parties and KPJ, but I know what you mean that it does get old after a few segments. Sometimes I bounce around between 2 DVDS which helps when the monotony sets in. Be careful driving. The roads are really bad around here.

Gayle—awesome workout in your freezing cold basement!! It was brave of you to do PLB and risk frostbite down there. Good job on your TM run. Hard to know, for me, which order to do legs + run in. Sometimes I do standing before a run, but sometimes floorwork before a run really helps me. Take good care of those muscles, Cheetah. You are working hard. Hey, what’s this having a school district be so organized they tell you the night before about a snow day? That would never happen around here!!
Thanks for the snow-day-cozy wishes. I made some muffins and the kids made pancakes for themselves, having a great day already.

Elaine--I was thinking this a.m. about your not-so-great-feeling 10 mile run and I guess having a bad run and having qualified for Boston is kind of a whole different beast?? You are awesome and hope you are feeling better mood-wise. I always feel mixed when my DH points out some "useful" observation about me, sometimes it's appreciated. Other times, you know the hammer I'm reaching for.

Shelly--Hi!! Hope your surviving work.

Colleen--hope you're doing ok!


Have a great day Cheetahs!

-Barb

Good morning cheetahs

http://www.wondercliparts.com/holidays/valentines_day/graphics/valentines_day_10.gif[/img]

Cathy..have a great day at home!! Yes, this whole new PC thing for my Mom was supposed to be EASY!! But not sure about Vista yet. I also did not like XP when it first came out. But I do use and like it now. But what really bugs me is they don't even have enough memory on this new PC to run Vista effectively, therefore it is so slow..I am glad you finally found a book of Sallys. Thanks, I am hoping the pain slowly diminishes.

Wendy...I like Back & Biceps for some reason...:)...ham/glute feels better today but I might wait til tomorrow to try a run.

Jess...have fun with Imax3

Kristi...be careful with that ice...

Karen...wow, all you cheetahs seem to have ice or snow. I also like that B&G ab section.

Christine...have fun with Imax2, I might also try that one today...sorry about the cards!!

Judy...enjoy the snow and the kitties...:)

Laura...be careful driving in the snow. Sorry about the workout becoming a bit boring, some can do that.

Gayle...good leg burning workout for you....:)

Barb...good job with HSTA. Enjoy your walk in the snow.

I am doing P90X S&A, then maybe Imax2 but if I feel any pain I will jump on the EXT.

Have a great day...:)
 
Hi Barb, we must have posted at the same time again!! True about the pain being DOMS and no DH! I left him out some M&M's and a card last night for when he got home. He seems to be a happy camper today...:)..I might try the tennis ball today. My therapist mostly focused on my lower back. I have had this pain in the ham/glute before, I just pulled something and it'll take some time to go away...Thanks, I actually like helping with PC problems...:)
