July 08 Checkin ****Saturday 26th****

[Kathy36]

Good morning ladies!!

Hope everyone is doing well today...

Getting ready to do today's workout..I am going to pull out a circuit workout I think. I was considering doing the gauntlet off the Terminator DVD. Not sure though. Gotta go think about it. This is why I follow rotations. I hate deciding from all the great workouts..

Have a great day..Be back later to check back with you!!

On tough workout Kathy...

The Gauntlet Kathy? You have guts! Have a fantastic workout and enjoy the rest of your Saturday. I will be doing something short so I can get back to writing...push and pull. Until next time,
Justine

Good Morning

Kathy I don't have the Gauntlet. Is that a good work out? Is it a "must have"? Did you do it today?
I have a lot of friends that home school. My boys ask me to home school them but that is one gift that God did not bless me with. I truly believe it takes a very special person to home school. Some one with a lot of patients.

Justine hope you had a great workout.

I did cardio fusion this morning. Another great workout. So happy to say that I completed it. My son had a friend sleep over last night. I almost used it as an excuse why I shouldn't workout. I usually don't workout when the boys have someone over. Today it didn't stop me and it was kind of cute he kept coming in the room to see what I was doing. I don't think he has ever seen anyone jump around a room like that. Never mind that it was an adult.

Someone asked a couple of days ago if I go to WW weekly...Yes I do go to the meeting every week it helps me stay on track having someone weigh me and write it down.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi All! Late start for me but it was needed.

I'm off to do my CCPP plus challenge add on here very soon . I'm soo looking forward to it.

Kathy & Justine - have a fun time with your chosen wo

Lori - good for you with staying on track and attending the weekly meetings. If we had a motivating Leader at the meetings here I would continue to go each month for my monthly WI but living in a small town, this area has only one person who does the meetings and although she is super sweet, she's not very motivating what so ever.

So I go online for my support & motivation and WI at home. It works for me

I don't have The Terminator I had thought about getting that one since getting that DVD would make my entire Cathe collection complete; I just don't feel a need for it as I have so many other circuit workouts of Cathe's to chose from.



Hearty Hellos for any who decide to drop by ... later Chicas!

Kathy, Justine, Wilma -- have fun with your workouts. Lori -- I think its great that you're sticking to a program like that. They've statistically shown how if you go to group you're more likely to keep it off so keep on doing positive things for yourself.

I just went on the elliptical for over an hour after I woke up. I was originally going to do a circuit workout but I just didn't have the mental focus to do anything that required coordination. I need to shower and get ready for another day of house hunting. Also, I need to drop by lab for a couple hours and call to wish my parents happy anniversary -- 37 years!

Have a great Saturday!

Hi Everyone! I hope you all are having a great day today!

Kathy: I tried the gauntlet one day and it was fun, but HARD, lol!

Runlikeagirl: Great workout today! CF is fun! I really enjoy it. Terminator DVD is worth having. I really like it alot, but it's a tough one.

Hope everyone has a great workout today! I'm going to clean my car today

Have a nice day!

 

[Kathy36]

Hi again ladies..Finished up the Gauntlet..It was a great workout....I will have to add that one in more often. I am going to try to do the viper maybe on Tuesday before I go to Florida on Wednesday...

Justine: Good luck with your writing..

Lori: I really liked the Gauntlet. It combined segments from imax2, bootcamp, and cardio & weights. Some of my favorites. I got a great workout..Cardio Fusion is a toughie!! I don't like to workout with the kid's friends over either. But, I have done it. Gotta get that workout done sometime! You are right about homeschooling. It does take alot of patients. Some days are really good and then some aren't so nice..But, as a whole I really love it. The kids love being homeschooled..

Vilma: I have Cathe's complete collection. I like the terminator DVD because it takes segments from alot of my favorite DVDs.. I like having all the DVDs. Wish they would put some of the older ones on DVD that you can't get anymore. Like Mega step blast..

Hottiescientist: Good luck with your househunting. Are the prices of the homes in your area reasonable? Hope you find one you like...Happy Anniversary to your parents too..What is your career goal? Are you going into the reasearch area of science?

Ivy:I agree...I am glad I purchased the terminator DVD...

 

[ShyWolf]

Kathy - I totally forgot about MSB - I have that one too.... Hmmmm maybe I should get The Terminator to complete my set lol I have all the older versions in VHS. After the boxed case of CTX we finally got a dvd and then I stared ordering the dvds. Eventually I will transition to all dvds as the vhs tapes get worn.

hottiescientist - Its Vilma not Wilma looks at the key board and says nope V & W are on different rows

Happy house hunting - thats always fun and a Happy Anniversary to your parents



I completed CCPP day with the added challenge tagged on and I am dripping wet but still on my runner's high so I'm off to shower and get out of here as my youngest just informed me that she HAS to go to Walmart and get her 3D glasses for the Hannah Montana show tonight LOL.

Take Care All!

I'm BACK!!

Hey Everyone!!

Looks like there's new checker-inners here! I'm excited to have new friends! I like the motivation of checking in and reading everyone's workouts!!

Already see I have a few things in common with you guys too. I'm also a Nurse! (RN) and also follow Weight Watchers! Just the quick things I picked up on...

I can't believe it's the RT weekend, either.... Hope Beth is having fun!

As for me, I took my "Rest Week"!!! As much as I was having withdrawal on Monday and Tuesday, vacation away proved to be WAY more challenging to get workouts in. The only convenient thing to do was go to the hotel workout room and run the treadmill. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. No offense to anyone here, but the treadmill bores the crap out of me and I *dread* it, actually. Even with my iTunes. And then the hotel room ended up being split up into separate bedrooms, and was way too small to do a video in. ... Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... I didn't workout once. I did, swim a few laps in the pool, when we did go swimming. Did a bunch of walking. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT... I also ate horrible. I'm not sure I can even remember that last tiime I just let me eating go, without worrying. And so I did. Let it go. Big time.

And we had a blast, really (besides the boys' fights and craziness at times), it was great family time, whether it was a movie on a rainy day, or the Aquarium, or a day a the beach or eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream!! ... it was just so needed and so much fun.


As of tomorrow, I am BACK on the workout train, and back into healthy eating!!!

I'm going to jump back into the 4DS/GS Rotation. I'm going to do Week #4. And then see what Cathe puts out for AUG 08. Tomorrow, I'm going to do a good long cardio, probably Cardio Fusion, since I've been reading about it here!!

Okay... off to change the laundry.....

 

[Kathy36]

Chris: Welcome Back..Glad you had a good time. sounds alot like our trip to the beach. Fun with some arguing from the kids..My eating wasn't great on vacation either!!

It's not my fault! I wrote vilma but I have this thing in FF that automatically corrects my spelling and I don't catch it sometimes. I've disabled it now.

Back from the roadtrip!!

All I can is Wow!!!!! What a amazing experience! I will keep this short because my eyelids are so heavy. I am in soo much pain right now, but it feels so good!! 3 workouts in one day is no joke. We did step on friday which I already posted, Sat morning was step as well ( similar to fridays class)Sat late morning was bootcamp-we did soo many different exercises but she set up cones and we did them in groups.Sat evening we did lower body blast-THAT was the killer. I think my fav was today with kickboxing but we were all so sore!!!Anyone who is afraid of ever going to a roadtrip-please don't be afraid I knew absolutely noone and I came out of there with so many new friends.Everyone is so friendly and helpful and the coordinators are the BEST. Cathe is just about the sweetest thing you'll ever meet.She is so gracious and thankful to have you there.We danced,we ate, and exercised our little butts off.I will try to post my pictures on my albums on my website, if I can figure it out. Tracey Staehle is expecting so for all those new mothers out there she told me she is going to put together a pregnancy series-how cool is that!!!She is so nice too.I have to go now but Beth if you see this "hello" it was great meeting you!!!!
