Hi Vilma (and all that follow!). Glad you are feeling better. A good night's sleep works wonders! I did that premix earlier this week. It was fun. I really like the warmup in the Kickboxing section. Let us know how CCPump is. I love Sean!

I'm feeling better about things with my daughter today. We're going to go on our vacation, enjoy ourselves and then worry about it when we get back. We still don't know the surgery date. Probably find out tomorrow or Friday.

Well, today was Leg Max!! ;) 4DS Legs and S&H Legs. Actually I thought it was a good combination. My legs were already sore from the treadmill yesterday and now they are toast! I also did the B&G stability ball abs.

Hope everyone has a good day. I'm sure I'll be back later!

Good morning!

Joanne, tough workout!!! Vilma, I have ccpump because I got it on one of his deals, but I've never done it! I may try it one day on vacation with a resistance band -- someone said I could probably make it work that way.

I did power hour instead of ME today after seeing that Deb (I think it was) did it yesterday. I hadn't done it in quite a while and had sort of forgotten about it.

Crazy story about the wedding, Deb! Wow!

Joanne, I think it's a good idea to just try to enjoy your vacation for now. Do keep us posted, if that feels right.

Oh, on Dove..... I do enjoy the workouts -- the time really flies cause she keeps things moving so quickly. I've read posts about people wanting to do a dove rotation and no offense to Dove, but I wouldn't want to do that. I feel like I would lose fitness level (both strength and cardio), because her workouts are just not as tough as Cathe's. But, I will say, she has a lot of stretching built into them, and I'm realizing I'm not nearly as flexible as I thought I was, and I ought to be working in more yoga/stretching. I think I'll probably use her workouts once a week or something, just as an easier, different sort of day. Funny enough, both of my boys, who are pretty familiar with Cathe, saw me doing Dove separately, and they both said, "whoa, this is harder than Cathe!" I think part of it was the speed at which things were going, but I think maybe even more than that was the stretches that she gets into. She's very flexible! I wrote to her and asked if she has ever lifted heavy -- I was just curious, and she said she prefers to get the longer, leaner look, so she's not lifted heavy -- has been a dancer and done a lot of yoga for strength. Ok, that's probably way more on the Dove stuff than you wanted to know! Vilma, I think you should try Zumba sometime! Certainly if you do, I want to hear about it.

have a great day. I'm off on vacation, so won't post for a few days, maybe a week. Take care everyone!

Back in to report that I was done with my workout by 945 am YES!

I love it when I can get it all in early enough and still have the entire day to do my regular stuff here.

CCPump was good and boy did it get my UB working :eek: Coach goes quickly but steady and I found I had to lower my weights.

I made it an endurance workout w/ Pump today but its one you can definitely feel and make into a strength with higher weights. He takes each body part and counts you down for a more endurance then you repeat the body part slower for a more strength work. Nice through 30 min weight work. I enjoyed this one and mixed in with the cardio I did before Pump well I am feeling good .

Tomorrow is my baby girl's 10th Birthday http://www.pic4ever.com/images/Laie_7.gif Where does the time go?

It seems like yesterday she was still a baby http://www.pic4ever.com/images/connie_38.gif but then again I look at all 3 of our kids and still see them that way. I guess thats what comes with being a mom eh?

I have some shopping to do for her birthday, we don't do big ol' parties as we like to keep things simple but she still gets her friends over, a Cold Stone cake Thanks to her older sister ;) and presents.

I'm still waiting on her friends parents to return my call if they will let their girls sleep over tomorrow night if not we'll aim for the sleep over for the weekend.



Joanne:

Glad to hear you are feeling better with the news and that you guys are going ahead w/ your vacation.


Wow you go Girl on that LB workout ;-)

Anyhoo I hope you all have an outstanding day. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/balloons.gif



[font color= red]ETA:[/font] Beth you came and posted while I was working on mine :)

I'm so close to ordering it just for those days when I need a workout and a big fun factor I think these would fit the bill - I still have birthday money and may cave eventually on them .

Have a good time on your vacation.
 
Hi Guys!!!

I just got done with B&G Premix: Floorwork & Abs. Man,oh,man, doing those leg lifts on all fours TWICE is a burner, isn't it?? WOW!

I did end up going to the 8 year old's boy calling hours yesterday. It was a big trip and an emotional one. i'd never been to a child's service like that before. It was heartwrenching. .. I ended up eating hardly anything all day too. I just didn't FEEL like it. My stomach was in knots.

Anyhow... I made it through...

You guys should really try the Hardcore exteme Interval w/Imax3 and Lowmax...I kind of want to go back and do it again. Since it was mixed up, it wasn't bad as far as high impact goes either.

Joanne: .... I'm glad you're going to be able to go on vacation still, It will be good fun family time that you all deserve. Did you tell your daughter yet about the surgery?... High-5's on getting through LEG MAX! Once you're in it, you're IN IT, and you somehow get through, right?

Debbie: ..... Holy CRAP on your son's canceled wedding! that's a huge turn of events! But it sounds like it was better now than later. It's funny, after you posted about getting Michelle obama's dress, I checked out online to see what you were talking about. THAT is a beautiful, classy dress! I hope you get to wear it to a fun occasion sometime soon! I do understand too, about "getting through" a workout , and not feeling it. I *hate* when that happens. Hope you feel better today!

Vilma: ..... Glad to hear you're feeling better, and catching up on sleep. I totally know what you mean by time flying by, and our kiddies getting older. Blows me AWAY that my oldest son will be 13 this September. 13! They grow so freakin fast, don't they? Happy early Birthday to your baby! 10 is a BIG bday!! And can I just say?... YOU are the cardio queen !! You amaze me at all the cardio you do!! *bows*... LOL!!

Okay... off to bring the boys out to the pool before it storms!!..

BBL..

Hey Beth!..

Just want to say...'Have a Happy and Safe Vacation!!!'... We'll miss you here!!

Beth, I haven't done Power Hour in ages. No, not too much Dove stuff - I want to know - since I caved and bought them!! It's probably good that they are not as tough as Cathe. My old body needs a break sometimes! I have to figure out how to fit one in this rotation so I can try it out. Have a wonderful vacation!!

Vilma, good workout!! So Pump works your entire body in 30 minutes? Or is it just upper? Either way it sounds good. Happy birthday to your baby girl!! Mmmmm, Cold Stone cake!!

Chris, what???? B&G floorwork premix has you repeat the all fours stuff twice? Yikes!! I think I'll be taking my ankle weights off for the second set. That service sounds so sad. I just can't imagine what the parents are feeling. I'm sure you came home and gave all your kids big hugs. I may sub the hardcore extreme interval for Imax3, which is coming up for me on the rotation the day after tomorrow, I think. No, we haven't told her about the surgery yet. I'm waiting to hear from the surgeon's office. I want to ask them if they have any recommendations on how to explain it to her. I definitely have some ideas, but I want to wait as long as possible. If she even knows she's getting a shot at the doctor's she'll get all anxious and upset for days ahead of time.

Time does fly!! My oldest will be 12 in September. He's up to my shoulders now and I'm pretty tall. Sometimes don't you just want to freeze time and have them stop growing for a bit!! I'm finding I'm loving different things about every age. I'm hoping I can say the same about the teenage years.
