Hi Ladies.

Figured I make our check in a weekend thread since the daily postings have been down a bit due to vacations and stuff.

Hope y'all don't mind.

I have Low Max followed by abs today.

No plans for anything except some Laundry Max, Clean Max and De-Clutter Max.

I also need to sit down with DD and the college courses as she's registering for her 1st semester soon.

Hope you all have a Great Saturday! http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/sun.gif
 
Hey Vilma!!
And all to follow!!!

Welcome back, Kathy! Your trip sounds so fun, especially the workout at The Firm gym. I was never a "Firm" follower, so I'm not sure of the people you talk of, but I can understand how cool it would be to be there. Sorry you had rain and missed the beach. But , to tell you the truth, I'd much rather swim in a pool than the ocean (full of slimy critters!)..

Deb... I hope you got the kinks out. Sounds like by the time you feel better, you'll have a house full of new furniture! LOL! Oh yeah, 35 rocks, doesn't it????

Vilma... the workout sounds great! Did you end up finding a rotation or just following something of your own?

Today, for me, scheduled was GS: Legs. It just didn't hit me right. So I compromised... I did the 33 Minute Premix (it was 98% of the standing stuff) and then did 30 minutes of Turbo Jam: Lower Body Jam. I find when I do workouts out of the ordinary, I 'feel' it more. Lower Body Jam is more endurance, with a lot of bandwork, and functional moves. It was good for a change! So I "worked it out, baby".

This weekend is a working weekend for me... BUT... DH's job is shut down on weekends for a few weeks, so he's going to be off with the boys, No sitter! It takes the pressure off BIG time , no BIG cleaning, no worrying about my son's blood sugars, or the boys misbehaving for the sitters. The other side of it is, I don't get a day off with DH. And that sucks. I miss him , it's been a LONG week!!

And yes, my boys got spoiled yesterday with the pancake breakfast, and they wanted it again this morniNG! Call me a sucker, but I made chocolate chip pancakes and blueberry pancakes for them this morning. LOL!!

Now onto their lunch.... (can I be a kid for a day??)

Chris: I agree..We planned on just sitting on the beach and walking along the shore. Maybe collecting shells. The kids were going to play in the sand. Oh well..They have been to the beach before. So, at least they have done it. We can also go while we are in Florida at the end of the month..It was fun to do a live class. I am so used to being at home with nobody. So, that part was fun. And it was fun to see the video leads as well..

Vilma: College registration..How fun!! That will be here for us before I know it too..

Checking in today with some FIRM workouts: Jiggle Free Buns, Jiggle Free Abs and Jiggle Free Arms. Thought I would share a couple of photos too..

This one is Morehead City

Hey Kathy!

I love when you share pictures! (or anyone, really!)...

The scenery is pretty, in spite of the rain. Your kids must have been thrilled to have the pool to themselves (or mostly by the looks of it). And OMG.. I have to tell you, I saw the pictures from "The Firm" and thought the 3 in the picture were ALL from the videos. And I'm thinking, "Too bad Kathy didn't get in on a photo!"... You look great and healthy, Kathy! ... Was that before or after the workout??

that Allie does look familiar. I think I might have done a Comcast-On-Demand workout of hers before!

~Chris
 
Good afternoon!

Kathy those photos are really nice and I remember Allie from the Firm; the other gal I have no clue but I stopped using The Firm when they started with Good Times videos maybe around late 90's early 00's? Can't recall.

Sorry your beach day got rained out when you were visiting our state - we've had good rains esp overnight which we sorely need again as we are back in a drought.

Chris I'm still doing FF Get ready for summer 08 rotation. I decided to go backwards and I'm just about done with it on Wednesday - I'm doing week 1 ;) I start a new week on Fridays and take Thursdays as my scheduled rest day.

I'll then be switching over to another one of Debbie's rotations for the remainder of the month; so just weeks 1 & 2 for that one unless I decided otherwise.


Till later Chickadees ;)
 
Thanks Chris.. What a great compliment!! That was post workout!! As you can see she worked us hard!!! Allie has AlOT of works that she has lead. So I wouldn't be surprised if you watched on of hers before..

Vilma: We were ok with it. We still enjoyed the scenery in your beautiful state..Emily was in the later videos. BSS 2 was her first one and then she has lead a few of the newest ones..
 
Another bright hot sunny day for us here - http://mysmileyz.com/s/887.gif


So how is everyone doing this Sunday? Here's hoping All had an enjoyable Saturday evening.



PLB followed by floor work from L&G is on tap for me today and if I can swing it I would love to add a run into the mix also; but it all depends on how my day progresses.

Or I may decide to just take it easy and lounge once my chores are all done http://mysmileyz.com/s/SMILEYS.gif

Ayup that sounds like a nice option too


Have a great Sunday Everyone!
 
Hi All!

Stormy and raining this Sunday here in GA. Managed Imax2 1-5 yesterday, and Step Jump and Pump this morning. I am 3 days behind on my rotation (FF's Circuit)but I'll catch up. My hip is still bothering me, it didn't hurt when I was working out, just when I sit too long.

Everyone have a great Sunday! :)
 
Deb: Hope that hip gets better!!!

Vilma: Bright and sunny and HOT here today!!

Checking in today with Maximum Intensity Cardio...
 
Quickie check in for me today: "Rest Day"...

Reading all your workouts sound exhausting!!

Deb: Glad your hip felt good for a workout or 2!!

Vilma: Thanks for explaining your rotation. Your lower body stuff today sound lke KILLER, esp. if you add in a treadmill run!

Kathy: MIC... Ugh! Enough said!

Waiting for takeout dinner to come , and then I'm back off to work...

See you tomorrow for the start of a new week!...

~Chris
 
Thanks girls for all your support!!! Little better this afternoon....after lots of Flexall, and heating pad. Must just be "old age", LOL!!!

Kathy...meant to tell you earlier, I went to the FIRM last November and to Bodyfit this past April(I only live about 4 hours from Columbia). In November I spent most of my time at the FIRM, with Emily, Rebekah, Tina, Annie and Janet. I also spent time at Bodyfit with Nancy, Suzanne, Renee. In April I was able to take a Yoga class at Pam's studio and spent most of my time with Nancy, Dale, Stephanie, Christa, Suzanne. It was sooooo fun! I am going back in Sept. I feel like a groupie. It was such a blast taking class with the girls that are with me in my basement. I'm glad you had a good time.

Vilma, I vote for REST.

Chris, lucky you on takeout.....I am cooking a pork tenderloin and not thrilled about the rest of dinner.

Later...... :)
 
Well I opted to just leave well enough alone as my legs got fried after the added floor work from L&G; so I ended up on my deck sunning and warming my legs instead (my knees and legs thanked me for the sun therapy :p )



Deb:

My hips, knees and lower back start a talkin' to me if I do way too many runs and I have actually found that taking Osteo Flex helps me not feel any type of joint pain. Funny that when I stop taking them the aches start to come back.

Glad your feeling better. :)

Kathy:

Go You! for MIC- Last time I did that one I was so bored and finishing it up felt like such a chore; perhaps you all remember how I felt about that one back in May . I need to revisit that workout one day again and see if that day was just a fluke.

Chris:

Yum-O on take out! At least your not cooking ;)

Have a good night at work





Have a Good Night Everyone
 
Vilma: Thanks..It is a toughie on the cardio system!! That is why I like to do it. It is really challenging ang boy to I feel like I get a great workout!

Deb: I would love to go back again...Next time I wouldn't mind checking out Bodyfit and meeting Christa and Stephanie. I don't see them on the schedule much. Are they still teaching regularly? Have fun in September. I will be with you in spirit..

Chris: Hope you have a great night at work and hope you enjoyed your rest day...
