KK April Check-In

[janiejoey]

Good Morning,

Waiting on word for more news about Adrian. They should be trying for home either today or tomorrow. Then I will continue again to take care of the little guy during the wee hours of the night.

Had a beautiful birthday yesterday. Joey took me shopping at my favorite stores and had a wonderful dinner at our favorite restaurant. But 58? I feel much younger than that.

Will do some cardio later today, probably a step up from one of Cathe's DVD's.

I'll check in again to see how everyone is doing today.

Good afternoon!

Did LC#2 today and then I previewed Meso Disc One. I think my arms might be dragging on the ground next week after that workout! Wowzy.

Well, got tons to do before I'm off to meetings this evening!

Jeanette - see you there at the golf course!

Good Evening!

Today was straight cardio -- from one of the early cardios -- can't remember the name right now. Goodness!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Janie, and thanks for starting the forum again. I forgot and posted on the other forum last night.

Rhea, you made me smile. Really good workouts, huh?

Gotta run -- have to get to bed soon. Did I tell you that I truly am almost done -- 4-5 days or so I figure for real. My DH is coming here soon -- April 16th -- I may have said something already. I'm really excited.

Have a super day tomorrow and Janie, please let us know how things are going. Sending you my prayers and a bunch of love.

Hi all,
Today was STS Disk 10B. By the end, my shoulders were fried. Tonite was a ladies golf meeting. I also went to Walmart for some thread but need to go back as I changed my mind on something.

Happy Birthday, Janie!!!

Hope you had the BEST time! What kind of things did you buy?

Karen, so glad your DH is coming out soon to see you. Bet you are really excited!!!

Rhea, good to see you tonite at the meeting. I should have stayed to chat, but someone was helping me post my first score to my handicap and I was trying to listen to her. I may go play Saturday morning, though I don't think I'll always have time for the full 18 holes.

Must run,

 

[janiejoey]

Good evening,

Jeanette, Joey and I are starting over Meso 2. Since Adrian was born, we just haven't had the time or the desire. Because of worry. Now that he is home and safe we can start it up again. I went to a bead store calle Shipwreck. The largest bead store in the world. Then went to a 2nd hand store and bought Tshirts to exercise in. I had a ball. I make necklaces, earrings and sometimes rosaries. It's fun.

KK, I'll be doing more cardio with the STS. Pounds are not budging, so I have to do something about it now before it gets to late. So glad you are going home soon and done with your course. Congratulations! Bet seeing your hubby will be good.

Rhea, Goog job on the workout. I bet you have DOMS. That's a hard one.

I'm holding little Adrian in my arms right now and typing at the same time. Didn't know I could do that. Will wake Mom up for a feeding in about an hor. Then I'll wait another couple of hours until he needs another feeding and off to bed I go.

I'll be home sometime on Sunday or Monday hopefully, unless of course they need me stay longer.

Catch you all later,

Janie

 

[Rhea]

Good afternoon!

Hope you had a great birthday Janie! How long are you going to stay at DGS?

Jeanette - Good to see you at the meeting too! I had to run to another meeting that was supposed to start at 7:00 p.m. and I had to get dinner in me at the same time. So I was off! I usually don't play the Saturday play day. This Saturday I will be busy with the grape arbor. I just realized last night that I have to get it sanded and painted before the grapes bud out. I was going to attempt working on it today, but that wind is cold. Have fun if you get out there and golf. (plus I need to play a few rounds by myself to get my swing back, I only golfed once last year.)

Karen - only five more days or so.....yippee!! And DH coming out next week. How exciting! I know how it is to be separated. But at least I can drive down to visit, you are separated by the entire U.S.

Today I did the Burn it and the Recharge workouts. Tomorrow will be my last Lean Phase workout and then I'm off to STS. I know I will put in some of my other workouts between, I'll miss Chalene and Tony Horton's stuff.

Have a great rest of the day everyone!

 

[janiejoey]

Hi Rhea,

You are going to love STS. Be prepared to be amazed! Have you started yet?

I'll be going home tomorrow, Sunday. I will plant the roots that I have had for weeks now. Can't wait to do that. Suppose to have beautiful weather to do it in. Also will start on Meso 2 again from the beginning. Just have lost too many days. That's OK though.

Talk with you again, have a great evening.

Janie

 

[Rhea]

Good evening!

Janie - today was my last day with the CLX rotation. I'm probably going to take tomorrow off, unless I do a short cardio. No weights though, I'll start STS on Monday. Lean Circuit #3 is chest, shoulders and booty, so I can't start out STS until Monday. My arms are pretty tired. Especially since I did some overhead sanding on the grape arbor this morning. At least I can hold the sander up pretty long, lol.

Have a good trip home. Weather here clear, but cold and windy, so no fun staying out in it very long. It has managed to warm up this afternoon.

 

[janiejoey]

Rhea,

You know, I've been thinking, you may want to take a week off to give time for your muscles to rebuild since you worked them so hard and for so long. At least that's what has to be done after every meso cycle in the STS series.

Have a great rest, then start fresh with STS. Just a thought.

Janie

Good Evening!

I am so close to being done. Am working like mad on it -- and so I have to go to bed soon and get my 8 hours. 3-5 more days. I'm so excited. And my DH is coming here. Oh, boy, I am very excited. Of course, I'll be seeing my daughter soon, also -- and am so excited about that too. Then I have to settle down cause I have a book to write in -- gulp -- 2 1/2 months and a book coming out in May, BLACK EAGLE. My pen name on this book is different -- it's Gen Bailey. I'm afraid I'm going to be a busy, busy person throughout this spring.

Today and yesterday was 1/2 respectively of Bootcamp. When I'm done here and awaiting my hubby and working on my new book, I'll get back in the 45- 60 minute workouts. Perhaps. I'm so behind in everything else -- I may just be working all the time.

Jeanette, it's so good to hear from you. How cool that you and Rhea saw each other the other day. How is STS going for you? Did you preorder STS cardio? I probably shouldn't have. I can't afford it, and yet I did. But I'll use it so I know it will get good use.

Janie, Yea!! I am so glad that Adrian is home and is in good shape. Love that you were holding him in your arms. I love this soap with oatmeal -- you have really made me very, very interested in soap. Hope you get those roots in the ground.

Rhea, wow, you're getting into STS on Monday. Nice to look forward to. Your weather there makes me homesick. It is very humid here and warm. Georgie is going to have a big change coming. He's used to only me and him. And so this could be tough for him. I'm hoping to make up for the change by allowing him more time out and then eventually he'll be allowed outside to his heart's desire -- except of course in the evening when the coyotes come out.

Anyway, have a very super evening and a terrific weekend. Have a good trip home, Janie. Stay alert on the road.

Hi all,
Let's see, yesterday's workout was CTX - 10-10-10. Liked that workout, as I tend to get bored and like mixing it up. After that, I did the abs from Power Circuits. Today was STS Disk 11B (Back & Triceps). I'm feeling it now. Did some house and yardwork, then went to the golf course in the afternoon. Was glad I waited until then as there was a cold wind this morning.

Karen, boy, things are looking up, huh? Bet you are so excited!!! Hope the time flies until your DH arrives. I can't imagine being separated as long as you have been. I'm sure Georgie will adjust okay, he's still young. I'm liking STS a lot, have more muscle definition right now for sure and my abs are flat most of the time. I've seen good changes and I'm still in Meso 1, though my last workout in Meso 1 is day after tomorrow.

Rhea, so are you pretty happy with your results from CLX? Wished I could have chatted with you on Thursday. Maybe we can play golf together soon? I played today and was sooooo glad I didn't golf with the other ladies this morning. I know it must have been freezing!!! Anything much below 50 degrees is cold for me and golf. This afternoon was pretty nice. Wish my score would have been the same LOL!

Janie, sounds like Adrien is doing better. Will he be having a surgery? So you are going back to Meso 2? I'm looking forward to my rest week next week. I think I just do cardio and yoga? I'll have to check.

Must go, tomorrow is a cycling day with friends in the morning, then my Dad's birthday party/dinner in the late afternoon.

 

[janiejoey]

Hi There,

Jeanette, I love 10-10-10, it's perfect for my needs! Glad to see other people doing that one. Golfing so soon? Oh my, enjoy the weather and the game. Looks like Adriane will not be having any surgery. There are still tests that are not in yet, but I believe he will be just fine. Some thing was obstructing hem to go potty and what ever it was, the enemas must have taken care of it. (???) Enjoy your cycling tomorrow.

KK, Glad you are so close to getting done with the course. Has your hubby made it to Florida yet? Have a great time with your daughter as well. And writing a book, you are one very busy lady.

Rhea, How ya doing? Are you taking a week rest? Hope so.

Janie

Good Evening!

Gee, it's good to hear from you all. Looks like you are all doing so well on your workouts.

Jeanette, flat abs -- I'm so jealous. My abs are not flat and it bothers me. Also I'm about 5 pounds overweight and I want to lose it before my DH comes. Flat abs. Wow! I'm so impressed.

Janie, I sent you a few emails on baby formula -- I don't know if it will hit mainstream news, but it's something to be aware of. Baby Forumla -- so far they've found melamine and now rocket fuel in baby formula. You'd think we could get it right for our children.

Rhea, sure hope you're going to love STS. I bet you will. Hope you also have lots of time to use them without work calling for you constantly.

Janie and Jeanette, do you think you might be interested in STS Cardio?

Anyway, my workouts are going to be basically the same until I finish this course and then I'll try to get back into my regular kind of workouts. I've been doing the 1/2 hour workouts for so long, I've almost forgotten what it's like to do a full workout.

Have a super day tomorrow!

 

[janiejoey]

Good Morning,

After this post will be doing the Meso 2 all over again. I was gone for almost two weeks. No way can I catch up now. So, Disk 13 - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and abs from ab hits. After the workout I have to do some heavy gardening. Digging, pulling, shoveling and planting. I'm thinking 2 hours maybe longer. That will be my cardio for the day.

KK, I took advantage of the presale for the STS Cardio. I can't wait for these DVD's! I just can't say no to any of her workouts. They are so dam good. Thank you for the emails.

Hi Rhea and Jeanette,

Janie

 

[Rhea]

Good evening!

Yep, started STS today. I have lots of energy and I'm on vacation next week (not going anywhere, just not working ) so I wanted to get ahead start. Did Disc 1, Meso 1. The only thing I did not like was all the darn equipment. I've become spoiled with only using the Bowflex flex tech dumbbells.

Well, gotta run.

 

[Author]

Good Evening!

Today was Body Sculpting with heavy weights. Great time -- perfect for me right now.

Janie, so glad you're home all safe and sound. Yeah, I love Cathe's workouts, too.

Rhea, hope you'll love the workouts. And a week off! What fun!

Hi Jeanette!

Am hurrying off to bed again. Get those 8 hours. Have a super day tomorrow!

 

[Author]

Good Evening!

Hope all is well with you all. Today was cardio only from IMAX3 -- just the step portion -- it's time is perfect -- 31 minutes.

Tomorrow I don't know what to plan -- probably 1/2 of either bootcamp or SJP -- probably bootcamp. Am hoping to do 1/2 of it in AM and the other 1/2 in PM. We'll see.

Working hard.

Janie -- hope the STS is going well

Rhea -- are you on vaction yet? Hope the STS is going well, also.

Jeanette -- how's the STS and the quilt going?

Hurrying to bed -- have a super day tomorrow!

 

[janiejoey]

Good Evening,

Did my gardening today and it was almost 3 hours. By the time I got done, I was famished. Ate a lot, but I do believe I burned a lot of calories. I know when I'm tired because, I was trying so hard to get every last bit of garden soil out of my truck into a wheel barrel. I put too much dirt in, the the wheel barrel spilled out everywhere. Darn! I was so tired and frustrated I just left most of it there. It's suppose to rain for a few days and wanted to get the asparagus in. Didn't make it. I did however manage to make new beds for the strawberry roots. Planted over 25 of them and have 2 beds. They are everlasting and should be producing all Spring, Summer and part of the Fall.

I also did about 20 min. of the Wedding video before I did any gardening. Didn't really need to do that. Oh well. I'm tired, so I'm going to go in and watch American Idol.

KK, I know you are working so darn hard. I can feel that even up here where I live. Wish you could just get home!

See ya later,

Janie

Hi all,
Yesterday was my rest day, today was STS Disk 12B (Legs). It was the last disk in Meso 1. The rest of the week will be cardio only, then start Meso #2 next Tuesday. Played 9 holes of golf yesterday after work (beautiful afternoon), wanted to do a bike ride today but it was too windy and I was tired.

Janie, your garden sounds wonderful. Do you have asparagus that is producing yet? It takes a few years, doesn't it? Did you start back with Meso 2 yet? I need to check my workout card and see how high of weights I'll need.

Karen, maybe I'll do some of Imax3 tomorrow, along with abs. I don't think I've ever done the full workout. I'm almost finished with a quilted wall hanging. I have another couple projects lined up afterwards. I did order the STS cardio. I'm hoping she has a modifier on the high impact stuff. I hate tuck jumps...

Rhea, yep, there sure is a lot of equipment with STS. Takes me about 5 minutes to drag it out of the one room and into the living room. I tend to pause the DVD a few times to adjust my barbell and such. Enjoy your week off next week. If you want to play some golf after work, let me know. Don't worry about being practiced up, I'm not a very good player but have a few good moments each round.

Must go,

 

[Rhea]

Good evening!

Yesterday ended up being a rest day since it was a "whiner" day with clients and I was exhausted by the time I got home. Plus I had to go play Bunco. It was our last night to play. Too many people were just tired of playing each month, so we disbanded our group. Oh well.

Today I did Disc two. Had to skip all the chin ups though since I don't have a way to do them. I could use tubing if I could figure out what to attach it to.

Jeanette - would love to play after work some time. I'm going to play on the Tues when we start in May. Now it is just trying to catch the good weather. I might try to play a bit next week. I hope that the weather cooperates.

Karen - glad that you are almost done. It is getting closer and closer.

Janie - I've done that before. Worked out and then spent eons in the garden. At least you sleep well that night. The morning after getting out of bed is a little difficult sometimes though. I have a lot of work to do in my garden too. I might try to even have one this year. Needs a lot of clean up though.

Well, off to cook dinner. Have a great rest of the evening.
