Good morning ladies....

Getting ready to leave pretty soon for Florida. Wanted to say hello to everyone..Have a great day and great workouts. Of course, I am resting today. But, with travelling it will be a yucky day. I like going places. Just not the getting to it..

Iris: I had to laugh when I read that you didn't buy the DVD because of the song. Maybe you could turn the sound off or I wonder if that was the series that let you do it with vocals only. Then you could put your own music on...HAHA

Ivy: I haven't been to VA beach yet..We usually got to th beach when we are in Florida or we have gone to NC for the beach too..

Ok..Off we go. We are flying to Atlanta from Dulles and then we are driving to my sister's where we are staying. About a 4 hour drive. It was way too expensive to fly into their little town. We needed a rental anyway and we hate taking 2 flights..

I am going to try and get back on here tonight.....

Bye ladies..
 
Goodmorning everyone! I don't know what I will do today as a workout, but I'll see if I can squeeze something in today. Have to go to my DD school to get her teacher's info, etc. I hope you all have a great day!


Kathy: Have a safe flight! Hope we here from you later on if you can. The only beach I've been too here in FL is Daytona Beach, LOL! Now with gas prices so high, we haven't gone anywhere else.

I'll bb later.. :)
 
Good Morning!!, Kathy, Ivy!
And all to follow today!!!

Kathy: Have a safe trip !!! Hope you get to check in with us...

I'm a bit away from doing my workout (have to have breakfast first), but I think instead of 4 DS Double Cardio, I'm going to do a Turbo Jam, and maybe a stretch afterwards... My muscles are needing it after last week off, and working them so hard the last 2 days. That week of "rest" made a HUGE difference , and oddly enough, the scale is moving in a downward direction MUCh easier than before "Rest" week!... Cool!

Off to get breakfast...
 
Good Morning everyone...

Kathy Have a safe flight/drive enjoy your vacation. My oldest son went on vacation with his friend to NC they went to Holden Beach he said it was nice there. We try and go every other year to Myrtle Beach SC. I love Myrtle Beach but it might be nice to go to NC. Less driving time. ;)

Vilma I saw where you started the thread you and Kathy must have posted at the same time. It is so hard getting things ready to put your house on the market. We put ours on the 1st of June. The market is really tough. We are selling because we want to shorten my DH commute and my son(s) play hockey and our High School doesn't have a team. My son got school choice to the town we want to move to so now that means we have to drive him school. We are going to make an offer on a house today that we saw on Monday and unfortunately we just dropped the price of our house $30,000 Yikes:( DH wasn't to happy about that.

Today I did 4DS LIS. I don't want to say it was easy I did have a good workout and I also had to lower my weight on a couple of the exercises. But I didn't feel like I was worked into the ground. I think I am going to finish the rest of the week with the 4DS.

Chis glad to hear the scale is moving for you . It is for me too. Tomorrow is weigh in day. :) Can't wait to see where I am at.

Iris or Ivy:eek:... I think it was one of you who has stopped smoking for 8 months. You must feel great. I wish my in laws quit smoking sooner. My MIL has COPD and my FIL is 75 and he just quit smoking in Nov. he quit cold turkey and it was on Thanksgiving day.

Got to run. Hope everyone has a great day.

Lori
 
Chris That's great that you are seeing a difference on your scale after a week of rest :) I hope the same happens to me because I was working out really hard for 6 months straight, and I first I lost 3 lbs in a month, but then got stock there, lol. Maybe it was that I was working out to hard and my body got used to it, or the way I was eating. We'll see...

Lori Great workout today! I might do that one today, but only cardio. It was Iris who stopped smoking :)

I'll check in with you guys again later. Have to get a snack and get ready to workout in 2 hours.
 
Hey Everyone,

I did IMAX2 this morning and realized a lot of step from the road trip was from IMAX2. Fun!! It seemed really quick this morning.

Hey Chris, people were talking about turbo jam on the RT and said it's really really fun. Do you think so?

have a great day!

-Beth
 
Have fun on your trip to Florida, Kathy!

Lori -- the housing market is killing everyone on both sides. We are on the buying side (first home) and submitted a very reasonable offer but since its a short sale, the owner has to wait for the bank to approve it which can take weeks because there's nothing forcing them to respond to offers in a timely fashion. So, we may miss out on getting our house while interest rates rise and the guy who is trying to get out of losing a lot of equity in his home can't get out because the banks are slow. It's definitely frustrating.

Today I'm just going to do Cardio -- maybe Step Blast because I've been feeling so blah lately. I barely could get myself to move around yesterday (tummy was acting up again yesterday) so I really want to have some fun (and I do sweat in that workout!).
 
Hey Everyone!!

I'm back! After a very hectic and stressful morning... (don't even ask, but it all ended up with me in tears), I squeezed in a workout and a stretch. I did Turbo Jam: Cardio Party 3 and then segment #1 of Stretch Max (no equipment). I ended up doing TJ up stairs on the big screen TV and the stereo speakers, and TOTALLY got inTO it. I was jammin' baby! I do love Chalene's energy, she's so cool. (Beth... the workouts are a lot of fun, and make you sweat like crazy! it's a good change up from Cathe some times).

I must have been looking at the wrong Rotation week, because it wasn't 4DS Double Cardio scheduled, it was any Premix from Cardio Fusion , which I had done in it's entirety on Sunday. So TJ was a good sub!!!

Beth: I'm pretty sure the pictures I saw you were in them. They're on "Nurse34"'s Cathe page (I'm sooo bad with names! I apologize!!).

Ivy: You should really be enjoying what you're eating (from yesterday, your description of lunch). There's SOO many good healthy foods to eat. I'm a SUCH a "foodie", I NEED to eat GOOD food. Are you a cook? I'd be happy to share some good recipes with you!

Kathy & Beth & Ivy : Okay..you guys did it. As soon as I have time, I'm going to order "The Terminator"!!! You soooo made me want it!! :p

Becca: Nice to *see* you!! Stop in more when you can!

Joanne: HEY!!! Welcome back!!! I was wondering where you were. Your vacation sounds so nice. It's tough to come back, isn't it? I miss mine already, though i was also *ready to come home* too. Never happy, I tell ya! I'm actually doing the 4th week of the rotation. I really REALLY like this one. It will be done again at some point for sure. It have given me a great appreciation and usage of 4DS. AND given me such nice definition in my upper body.

Vilma & Lori: I soooo don't envy you guys having your houses on the market. we sold our condo over 13 years ago for this house, and I still remember the busy-ness of it all! We ended up taking a good loss on the condo, but made it up in the house we bought. We got a great price on it! So it kind of works both ways. Lori....where are you looking to move to?

Lori: As I mentioned above, I hadn't really done 4DS enough to appreciate it since I had gotten it. Cathe doesn't really put it in her rotations, since the Nov. 07. And the November one just used it "as is", and it got kind of boring after 4 weeks! I do think the workouts are a bit on the easier side "as is" too. I can post this rotation if you want to see it.

Ivy: I do think changing up your eating and giving yourself a "rest" week can make a huge difference. I hadn't taken a break since February, and I had been working my BUTT off doing workouts. Maybe I wasn't eating enough too. What I'm doing now seems to be working better *knocks on wood*.

Hottiescientist: Step Blast is a good fun one to do when you're in a funk! Hope it snaps you out of it!!!

I better get going... so much to do!!
 
Hey Ladies!
I haven't checked in here in a long time! This week i'm revisiting the PS series, going really heavy. I still think it's a great series:) I really don't follow cathe's rotation to much kind of do my own thing. Sort of stem of hers though. HOpe everyone has a great day!
Randi
 
Hello ladies, well, I decided to take a mini-risk a try 4DS LIS+KB and I didn't have any problems with my ankle again. If I bend my ankle it does hurt a bit, but if I jump it doesn't hurt. So I did try to be very careful working out trying not to jump on my bad ankle foot. The workout was so much fun! The music is AWESOME! I was blasting away :) I burned 470 calories.

Beth Great workout today! I'm trying to buy CW/Imax 2 from this girl, waiting to see if she accepts my offer. I wasn't going to buy it since I have it mixed in Terminator, but some days will be good just do to Imax 2 or CW, not both together.

Hottie I'm sorry, I hope it all turns out well and that you can get your home soon. Remember, when there is something not going the way we would like too, it's because it's not meant to be and something better will come along. It's happened to me 3 times. This is my 3rd home and I wanted a house really bad but sometimes didn't turn out to be the house I wanted, and had to look for another, but then I found a better one. And all that happened to me 3 times. You'll soon get the home of your dreams :)

Chris Yes, I love to cook! I would love to get some recipes from you :) Thank you! Today I ate for lunch a vegetarian chili and it was Cascadian Organics or something like that and it was SO GOOD! I got lucky today at Winn-Dixie because they had LOTS of clearances on their Organic area, and found lots of Cascadian Organic products like frozen veggies and found that brand BOCA veggie burgers, etc for $1.37 each!!! Then on top (I'm a coupon girl!) I had $1 off each product so each one was $.37!! I went crazy today and got so much organic stuff. Can't beat that price. Hopefully now since I've rested my body from workouts almost a week, now when I start eating clean and my new rotation (butts and guts) hopefully I see great results :)

Ohh, now my wrist is hurting again. It hurt me for a while and the doc gave me a shot and the pain left for months, and I think it came back.Hopefully it's not happening again and it's just a couple of days thing.

Have a great day everyone! Will check in again later..
 
Hi everyone!!! Took a day off of work yesterday to relax and it was well worth it!!I did CTX kickboxing with a 15 min stretch DVD.Today I am going back to Muscle Endurance,Kinda looking forward to it considering I ate many soft pretzels today(my BF owns a pretzel factory in philly and I bought some in to work today-not such a good idea!!)

Kathy-have a great time on Vacation!!Hope you can get some workouts in.

Ivy-Which workout are you doing today?

Chris-Sounds like you had a great workout!!I am really tempted to buy the turbo jams but I am not ready to sway from Cathe just yet.

Lori-Congratulations on that scale-your hard work is def. paying off.I am also sorry about having to bring down the cost of your house.The market is terrible for sellers now but I hope it gets better for you!!

Beth-Cathe did do alot of moves from Imax 2-I had so much fun-Did you? I hope you don't mind but I posted pictures on my cathespace from the roadtrip, you are in a couple of them.Is was great to meet you!!

Hottie-I love step blast-hope you are able to do it today.It's hard to do workouts when your not feeling 100%

BBL-Hope everyone is having a good day!! -Lisa
 
Hi Lisa CTX Kickboxing is one I haven't tried yet. I really like the CTX so much though. Today I did 4DS LIS+KB (Cardio only). It was a lot of fun. I think I won't workout until Monday since I'm starting a rotation and eating clean. I hope you have a great day today :) And great workout today!

BBL
 
Sorta Quick Fly by as I get a break from all the hammering and folks walking through the house.

I did post the thread but I guess it got lost in the shuffle.

Well no workout for me today as I suspected as much .

We brought a new door to replace the one we had going towards the deck - nothing wrong with the door itself but we just wanted the ones that have the blinds inside the door itself and uses a slider to open it up and down...so thats in now lol

They are working upstairs on some drywall to fix a hair line crack from my oldest dd constantly slamming the door ugh!

We are planning to have the newer house built yet again... dh and I had this one built a little over five years ago, so we are looking forward to the planning phase again - just as soon as this one is walk through model market ready. We decided not to kill ourselves this summer so it looks like next spring will be when we get it listed. We have our buyer's agent already in place where we plan to relocate so its all good. Its just the getting there that sucks.



LMAO Yes I ordered Terminator this morning you enablers you! I figured since I'm doing my own circuit /cardio rotation lately why not eh? Plus hearing how tough it is yet again made my ears perk and me salivate for joy - I love those tough workouts yeah call me crazy but I really do- guess its the challenge of doing it and coming out at the end unscathed :p


Ok break over gotta go!

Vilma LOL! You are so funny! I think you are the 3rd person in the group since yesterday to buy the DVD :) You'll see it's a great and TOUGH dvd. Can't wait to hear what you all think of it :)
 
Hi everyone! I'm doing the same rotation as Chris, except I'm in week three (it's a five week rotation, I think). It's really giving me a new appreciation for 4DS. The premixes are great! Today was supposed to be bootcamp lower body circuit, but I decided to do a Turbo Jam instead along with 4DS lower body weights. Lots of fun. Those low plane lunges kill me.

Vilma, good luck with the house stuff. I'm sure it's stressful, but will be worth it in the end. Where are you planning to move to?

Terminator DVD - got it!! I think I've only done the Gauntlet, but need to try the others.

Lisa, mmmm, pretzel factory??! Yum! That would be a problem for me, though!

Ivy, LIS and KB sound fun together.

Hi Randi!! I'm pretty sure the rotation Chris and I are doing came from you. Thanks!! It's great.

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear about your stressful morning. Hope everything is OK. Some blaring TJ is just the ticket to lift your spirits. I use our big screen TV in our basement to workout to and love it!!

Hottiescientist, good luck with your buying dilemma, too. The housing market just sucks right now. I hope Step Blast lifts your spirits!

Beth, that must have been so fun to work out with Cathe!! I just can't imagine.

I have to run...just realized it's time to pack up and go home! Yea!

"Talk" to you all tomorrow...

Joanne
 
Hi Everyone!!! Wish I had time for personals....but I just got back from the race track and now going to enjoy a night of dancing! =) This morning I did Step, Jump, Pump, Fumble, and Stumble.....hehe...there's something about the running man that makes me feel like a backup dancer in a New Kids on the Block video...lol Great workout though! I love the step part....(you know... I love Kung Fu Fighting!!!) Ok guys I'll definitely bbl...:D

Iris

P.S. I got terminator special ordered to replace Buttercup with Kung Fu...(in my dreams..lol)
 
Hello all! Today's WO was BodyMax and I made it through the entire cardio section, power circuits included, but had to end right after the chest work. My kiddos were way too demanding!:mad: Why oh why do they all have to poop when I am working out?!?!? We went to the pool today for lessons and play, so I think they will go to bed early. I am going to try and finish the weight work after bedtime.

Some one asked yesterday how I liked the July '08 rotation (Iris maybe? I'm too lazy to go back and look at yesterday's posts). I have enjoyed it, but I did get sick in the middle of it and had to take 5 days off. I don't know if I can give an accurate assessment, but I do like the circuits. I am not looking to build a ton of muscle so circuits and endurance based wo's are right up my alley. :D

Joanne, I love the 4DS series, I may revisit that if I am not that excited about August's rotation.

Vilma, have fun with all the construction and building you've got going on. I hope that your house sells in a timely manner.

Lisa, I would be in trouble with a BF who has a pretzel factory. LOL! How do you like CTX? I just ordered it from advanced workouts and am patiently waiting it's arrival.

Ivy, so glad to hear your ankle tolerated your cardio! What great deals you got on the organics. I love a good deal.

Randi, I agree with you on PS. There is something about that series that is fab!

Chris, sorry to hear that you had a stressful morning. :( I'm glad you were able to get a good heart pumping workout in though. It sounds like just what you needed!

Hottie, UGH on your house troubles. You'd think that you would be in the perfect position to buy and take advantage of the market since you are first time buyers. How frustrating! Did you end up doing Step Blast? That's a good stress reliever!

Beth, great job on Imax2! I am so looking forward to the RT! Did you love it?!?!?

Lori, great job on LIS. WTG on the scale as well! Let us know how your weigh in goes!

Kathy, have a safe and fabulous trip! Check in when you can!

Alright, I have to clean up the kitchen from dinner (I am totally procrastinating!) Have a great evening!
 
Iris Great workout today! I really like the step combo in SJP. I was going to do that one today, but did 4DS instead.

Becca I also love to find a good deal :) Thanks! I'm also glad my ankle tolerated my cardio. Now I will rest till Monday for my new rotation (wasn't following one right now anyway). Everytime I'm going to workout, in the middle of it, my kids are asking for snacks, can they go out and play, etc. Why can't they ask while I'm not working out?? LOL! Kids, gotta love them.

Well, goodnight everyone! I'll bb tomorrow morning! Have a good one!
 
Hey everyone -- so funny about the run on terminator dvds!! We should all do it "together" someday soon.

Yes, the road trip was awesome! So fun to be working out in the very same room with Cathe, but also the same room with 100 other people who were totally pumped up. The energy was unbelievable. Some of us just could not stop grinning! And, also very cool to be working out so close to Brenda, Jai and Cedie. I watched Jai do fast jog -- I was behind her -- she was rock solid -- nothing but her feet moving. Those women are all so amazing! I asked them if they do Cathe dvd's at home, and they said yes, but not as often as we do. Funny.

Lisa, of course I don't mind you posting pictures! I was impressed that Chris figured out it was me from my old avatar. I've got to get a new one -- figure I will put up a picture of Cathe and me like some others have. Soon, I hope.

Everyone working on real estate transactions -- good luck -- that is stressful stuff. I hope all goes well.
