KK - June Check-in

[Rhea]

Good evening!

Did YBB Hip Hop and Abs today. This week is YBB week. They are just fun workouts, with a great blend of yoga and a little bit of the yoga mudras and mantras at the beginning and end to ground you....I love it. I've missed the "centering" part of a yoga practice.

Well, off to sew. Have a great rest of the evening everyone!

Went to the doctor about my hand today. He says to take 3 ibuprofen at a time 3 times a day and ice and heat on it. Tonight seems much better, Yeah!

I'm out here on my husband's computer -- for some reason my computer wouldn't pull up the Cathe site tonight -- my computer is still the old dial-up -- while my DH's is all fast and furious!
Janie, am so sorry that you hurt your hand, but you're wise to lay off it -- you might have pulled something somehow. Remember when I broke my hand? I also at the same time twisted it and pulled a ligament -- thank goodness the body's good at healing. Have fun with the cardio. Was it you who went to the zoo today?
Gosh, I haven't been to a zoo in ages. How was it?
Today was my day off and it was really a work day for me -- lots of work in the house as well as writing.
Oh, Janie, I love these soups -- the one for dry skin is incredible and the moisturizing one is -- well, it's what I use when my hands are chapped. I bet your book is going to be outstanding.
Gotta get to bed now -- have a super day tomorrow!

KK, You still have dial up? Gosh that has got to be slow. Use your husbands all the time or get another one for you. I remember when you had a hard time with your hand. I thought it would never heal. Poor thing, you went through a lot. I did go to the zoo, and had a fabulous time. Will go again next weekend with my other grandson. So glad the soap is working for you, I love hearing that.

Rhea, Sounds like a fun workout. What does YBB stand for? Love yoga too, I need to find more time for that. Have fun, as I know you are with the workouts.

See ya all tomorrow,

Janie

Good evening!

Janie - YBB is Yoga Booty Ballet. It is taught by two women who have lots of energy. It is a great mixture of yoga, cardio and ballet. You move your booty a lot in the cardio. Today was YBB's cardio cabaret, burlesque style. I was giggling throughout the workout. Once I get the moves down, I'm going to have a blast with this one. the cardio part is like getting up and dancing for 20 minutes or so, with some yoga and toning thrown in.

Tomorrow is YBB, Latin style! I think I'm going to do the Pajama Yoga tonight. I've done it once and it is a great evening stretch. One of these days I'm going to remember to try the Yoga latte for the morning. Maybe I should put it in the bathroom, so when I stumbled in there first thing, I'll see it.

Have a great rest of the evening.

Good Evening!

I forgot to post last night -- it was my blog day and so I was up late composing the blog. Am running behind in a lot of things as I try to get this book written. I'm only on page 145. So much to do.

Anyway, today was Total Body Sculpting and tonight was step only from IMAX3 -- am still a little -- 2 lbs heavy -- but it makes such a difference and i really want to take it off.

What a good product you're making, Janie. I'm really impressed with these soaps. Did the doctor say what was wrong with your hand, by the way? Pull a muscle or something?

Rhea, goodness but those workouts sound fun -- I like their names, too. Pajama yoga -- how's the sewing coming along?

One of our cats caught a mouse tonight and brought it in to me to show me what a good job he did. I praised him no end after my DH had removed the mouse.

Have a super day tomorrow, everyone! Get that hand well, Janie!

 

[janiejoey]

My hand was sprained and I feel like I might be able to workout with heavy weights in about a week. At least it's feeling very good at the moment.

KK, Such a busy lady! I wish great things for you. You put in so much effort all the time. Great workout. So glad you like the soap. I do too. Doc said I sprained my hand. But it's getting better so fast. Cats are like that aren't they. Mine just brought one in the other day. EWWWW!

Have a great day you two,

Janie

Good evening!

Yep, another fun workout. YBB Latin style had some great moves with some floor ballet barre moves at the end. Good for the legs and the abs! Did not get to do PJ yoga last night, was watching a movie and forgot to make time for it! Going to fit it in tonight though.

Have a great rest of the evening everyone!

Good Evening!

Today was cardio only from BM2 -- about 45 minutes and tonight was CTX Kickbox for about 20 minutes and then a stretch. I have to get control over my eating at night. I stuffed myself tonight and I feel like a blimp right now.

Rhea, those workouts do sound like they are really fun -- how long are they?

Janie, I probably seem busy right now cause of deadline -- seems like deadlines are like this -- everything hits at once. I'm hoping for a bit of a breather after the deadline is over.

Am off to bed right now -- I'm up later than I should be, but I had to get that short workout in or I'm afraid of what the scale will show tomorrow.

Have a terrific day everyone!

 

[Rhea]

Good evening!

Did another fun one today. Today's was Bollywood style sculpting. Great ab work with all the belly dancing!

Karen - the longest I think is 35 minutes! That's one reason why I'm loving them right now, they fit right into the schedule. Today I had so much fun that I actually flirted with doing the cardio part over! But I didn't.

Don't work too hard. I'm off to the Bay area and will be back on Sunday. Have a great weekend.

 

[janiejoey]

I literally loaded up the jeep full of clothes and stuff to take to the second hand store. I can't believe how much I could fit into the jeep. Unbelievable! This is what I've been wanting to do for so long. It took me all day. Now I have my closet just the way I want it to be. Every thing is so orderly and still lots of room for future stuff. LOL

Yesterday, I cleaned out the much needed pantry and now there is lots of room and it's also orderly. Where is this energy coming from? It took me all day.

I did speed walking around our driveway for 45 min. There are 3 hills to up, so that was a great workout. I may have burned 300, at least close to it.

Rhea, I'm loving hearing about YBB. I tell ya, I'm going to buy them. I think I'm missing out! LOL. You are an enabler aren't you?

Rhea, Oh, I think I would love Bollywood! Have a good time at the Bay area and a great weekend.

See you all later,

Good Evening!

Hi!

Today was Blast series SJP but without the hi/lo -- it works out to be about a 45 - 50 minute workout. But that's a pretty good time for a circuit workout. I'm debating on the workout I'm going to do tonight. Maybe I'll flirt with my husband.

Am working very hard on this book -- still have 240 pages to go -- I'll be targetting 10-12 pages a day everyday until the book is done and sent in. I'm so behind.

Janie, I am so enjoying these soaps. I'm using two of them right now and as soon as possible I want to write a review on them so I don't forget their assets. What a good product. Wow, Janie, all that energy and look at all you got done! Wow!

Rhea, that is a perfect time for me right now too. It's been this way for so long, I almost don't remember where I used to get the time to do a full hour workout. I will look for these workouts. I sorta wish Cathe would do some more Time Saver workouts -- like CTX.

Have a great time in the Bay area. Have a terrific day tomorrow everyone!

KK, Love the SPJ series. Flirt away, I'm sure he'd like it. That's cute. Sorry you are behind on your book. Just hang in there and keep going. I'm rooting for ya. When you are not so busy I'd love for you to write a review. Take your time, there is no hurry.

Today was treadmill day for about 30 min. Vaccumed a little and got more stuff to take to the second hand store. Talked with Joey and he's liking what I'm doing. Everything is getting such a needed cleaning in the next several days. Spick and span for when he gets home.

Good Evening!

These next 3 weeks are going to be tough for me -- 200 more pages to write -- I've written about 200 pages now, but it's taken me 1 1/2 months to do it and I now have to do it in much less time. I think there might be some all nighters in my future, I fear.

Today was my day off. Isn't SJP fun? I love that whole series -- my favorite series, though, still remains -- well -- it's a toss up now between the Intensity series and the CTX series. I love them. I like the other workouts, too -- but these are my favorites.

Thanks Janie for giving me a little time to get those reviews written. I so love these soaps. I want to do a good job on the reviews -- so allowing me to clear my plate would be great.

Not sure what I plan for next week, but again, they have to be short -- and I'm trying to get in evening workouts, also as I try to slim down. Gee, these 2-3 pounds are sure resistant to coming off.

Hope Joey is doing well -- you sound busy, Janie. All that cleaning I think-- believe it or not -- is good for the spirit.

Hi Rhea! Hope your trip was great!

Have a great day tomorrow and some fun workouts.

KK, Try to get through these next few weeks. I know you will, you really don't have a choice. Just wanted to cheer you on. SJP is fun and try to get to it as often as I can. Like I said take your time and don't worry about me for heaven sake! Just enjoy the soap. Joey and I talked yesterday and he will be home Wed. So, I'm busy with floors, vacuming, scrubing the kitchen floor, and doing the bathrooms, (toilets, sinks, and bathtubs, counters). I just want everything super nice for my Joey's return just for him.

Talk later,
Janie

Good evening...Just a quick post, been busy unpacking the boxes I brought back from the Bay Area.

Just to enable you a little more.....Yoga Booty Ballet is from Beachbody. I can e-mail you the link if you would like....

Did the Latin one again today and the Bollywood sculpt when I got home yesterday. I'm a pooped.

Janie - I do the same thing when Rick is away from the home for a while. Sometimes I even get an entire project done and see if he notices. LOL

Well, off to relax a bit. Have a great rest of the evening. Karen - don't work too hard. You'll get the book done in plenty of time. I just know it.

Good Evening!

Gosh, thank you so much for your support. These next few weeks are going to be really tough.

Thing is, since my BIL died, it's been tough. We were really a household of three -- and we're really missing that extra person, I noticed, now that I'm home. Not only financially, but also chore-wise. So tonight, I asked one of my husband's workers if he would kinda fill in the hole for a little while, while I finish the book, which will allow me more time, and my DH also. The exchange is supper each night. Since I'm used to cooking for 3 anyway, it's not a problem.

It would be great also if he would continue on after that. But we have so many chores in the evening with our pets and such that the help is most welcome.

Anyway, today was drills only from Drill Max -- about 40 minutes or so.

Janie, that is so cool that you're getting everything ready for Joey to come home. I know he'll appreciate it.

Rhea, those workouts sound really fun. You do seem to find the fun ones. My DH did that to me once when I'd been gone on one of my trips and he grew out a beard and then dressed funny and then expected me to recognize him (or not) at the airport. I did -- but boy, he sure looked different.

Have a really good day tomorrow, everyone!

KK, Hopefully you'll be able to find someone that can help around. I wish you luck. Today I need to clean the oven/stove, refrigerators. Then I'll be happy. I didn finish my bathroom yesterday, so I'll do that right now.

You are an enabler, but for these workouts, it's a good thing.LOL I want the latin one for sure and the Bollywood. They sound like so much fun! Enjoy relaxing the rest of the evening.

How I hate losing my posts. Goodness!

Anyway, Janie, have fun with your DH. I'm sure you're in heaven.

Rhea have a great time in the Bay area.

It was Intensity Series Bootcamp for me today -- an entire hour -- how often does that happen for me nowadays?

I'll be putting in some all nighters here as I wind down on this deadline - I have so much more to do -- so my posts might be sparce, but I'll try to keep touch.

Have a super day tomorrow!

Good Evening!

Did an all nighter last night -- well, an almost all nighter -- 5 hours of sleep -- but the book s tarted to move again today so that's good. No workout for me today becau.se of lack of sleep.

Enjoy the time with your DH, Janie. I know it's great to have him back. Yeah, I have to concentrate like mad on this book.

Have a great weekend!
