KK's November Check In

Good Evening!:)

Okay, so today was CTX 10-10-10 -- skipped the Power Circuit cause it's just too long and I have to get going early on Monday and Tuesday -- tomorrow I plan CTX Step & Intervals and then on Wed or Thurs., I'll do CTX Power Circuit.

I haven't caught the kitten yet -- I can't keep it as I'm staying in a motel room -- so I'm going to find it a home, and then catch it. So tomorrow I start in earnest trying to find a home for it. Luckily it's warm here at night and so the little kitten should be fine until I can find it a home.

I love Cardio & Weights -- and you know what tomorrow is? I get the new Cathe DVD's. You know I went and looked at the new things she's planning to do -- I'm not so sure I'm up to it. I sure hope so, though. It sounds really hard, actually.

Rhea -- are you okay? I'm a little worried about you, so if you do read this, let us know how you're doing.

But most of all have a super day tomorrow!:7
 
Good morning,
Today was Step Jam from the Classics. Don't think I've ever done this one before, but it was okay.

Karen, crossing my fingers that you receive the new DVD's today. If you have time, I'd definitely preview the step routines as they are more difficult choreo wise. Her new series that she's planning does sound tough. Not sure I'm up for it either, but by the time it comes out I'm hoping to. Not sure I could do a 3 or 6 month rotation but you never know.

Rhea, hope you have time to get a workout in today. Think we'll be going to Quincy for Thanksgiving.

Good workouts today!

Jeanette
 
Good morning!

Been doing great, even getting workouts in. Just busy again with the next trial which is this Thursday. I can't wait until it is all over and then I can relax!!! Whoo hoo!

All achiness is gone. Been feeling really good. Am a bit sore from my weight workouts, but that's a good thing. Hmm, maybe a bit more than a little sore. I just stretched my arms and felt all the lacic acid!

Karen - thanks for all the info on the shots. I haven't had the time to go read, but when the trial is over, I will. You are such a well of information, it is great!

Okay, Friday was Turbo Jam, Fat Blaster. That got me started. Saturday was the 4DS, HIS, tough choreography, I was frustrated and I get things pretty easily. I repeated some of it so I could get it down. Sunday I did the Kickbox, very fun, great leg workout. Yesterday I did Boot Camp again. I used heavier weights 'cause I could. I was surprised how heavy I could go. Kept it down some which I'm glad or I don't think I'd be able to move my arms today. Triceps and biceps are nice and sore. Today I'm going to run home and do the LIS. I got to work early today since it is a longer workout so I can be gone longer. Tomorrow should be just an easy going workout, no workout or yoga. Should opt for yoga to stretch out those muscles.

Well, I'd better get back to work. Talk to you later!
 
Good Evening!:)

Hi Rhea! Am so glad to hear from you and am so glad that you're back on track. Wow! Look at the workouts you're doing, as well. Jumping right in there. Way to go! Interesting about being able to go heavier than you thought you could. But that's great.

Today was CTX Step and Intervals for me. Great workout -- and not too long, which is what I need -- tomorrow am planning another CTX workout, but am unsure exactly which one. Will probably depend on the time.

Jeanette -- I'm not sure I've done that workout -- I do the older cardios sometimes -- they're all such good workouts -- but I do tend to like the newer ones better.

Oh, I did get the new workouts today -- and Jeanette, I'll preview them as well. Can't wait to really get into them. The packaging is quite different for these, isn't it? Doesn't take up so much space.

Well, the little kitty is getting friendlier -- I'm now asking everyone I know if they'd like to have a little kitty. In the meantime, I'm feeding the cute little thing every day.

Great to hear from you both! Have a super day tomorrow.:7
 
Good morning,
Today was Supersets for me, fun workout and Karen, I too like using the stability ball in it.

Karen, did you get to preview the workouts? Hope you get to try them out soon. I like the slim case. Hope you find a home for the kitty soon. Glad you felt good for Step & Intervals yesterday, a short, intense workout.

Rhea, HIS has a bit of tough choreo, doesn't it? I still don't entirely have the 3rd combo down with the hitch kick, but I end up getting there somehow. Doesn't bother me not to get it as I can catch up. Bet you will be glad after Thursday.

Hope everyone has a great day today.

Jeanette
 
Good morning!

Yep that hitch kick got me too. I really felt like I had weights on my feet and they were both trying to do something else!I might try to attempt HIS on Saturday. No workouts for me, except maybe a yoga or something, for the next three days. And yeap, can't wait until Thurs/Fri...really looking forward to Sat when it is allllll over. Of course, Saturday I have company coming. (thanks to DH) but I'm not supposed to have to cook anything. Everyone is bringing something.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Good morning,
Today was the HIS/LIS step cardio premix. Fun! I didn't get the 3rd combo hitch kick thing, but close enough for a good workout. Have a bike club meeting tonite, but may play hooky from it if I'm not feeling the love.

Karen, missed your post. Hope you are okay. Did you get to preview the workouts?

Rhea, hope you have a great Saturday dinner party, with no added cooking for you. My kind of party!

Jeanette
 
Good Evening!:)

I must not have pressed some button last night -- I did post, but I guess it's lost to cyber space. Let's see yesterday was All Step and today was Power Circuit -- all CTX workouts.

Had some work problems on email last night when I got home and so didn't even get to bed until 2AM. x( But of course it's all handled today.

My little kitty is sick -- isn't eating and had some diarehea (sorry for the spelling) and last night it was vomiting. I got up and made it eat some chicken stock I had just made to ease it's stomach and then today I've been continuing that and just letting the little guy rest. If it continues I'll probably take him to a vet, but for right now he's continuing to play and so I think he'll recover -- knock on wood.

Haven't previewed the workouts yet, but I will and I'll probably do a rotation of them next week. The CTX series is going well.

Rhea, I think I wished you a wonderful day and some rest and relaxation over the weekend. How cool that the stress from work will be over (at least for the weekend).

WEll, have a super day everyone and have some terrific weekends.:7
 
Good morning,
Today was Step, Jump, Pump circuit premix of step and weights. I added on the planks and abs as they aren't in the premix. Good workout. This one makes me happy as I love the music in all of it. Hope to get a walk in today at work (20 minutes or so).

Karen, hope the kitty is better. I hate it when our pets don't feel well. Did you get to preview the new series yet? Hope so.

Rhea, hope the trial is all over and you can just relax for a while.

Have a good weekend everyone! Think we are cutting wood.

Jeanette
 
Trial not done yet....but almost there. I can't wait! Have a great weekend everyone. Karen - I hope the kitty is doing better.
 
Good Evening!:)

Though I know that you both don't check on the weekend, thought I'd stop by and see your posts on Friday. Let's see -- yesterday was CTX Kick-box and today was IMAX3 -- 8 intervals -- I omitted my least favorite, which is number 5 and number 7. Again, I sure like interval 10 of IMAX3.

Tomorrow is my day off, but I'll probably have an active day off. In the meantime the kitty is better -- he's eating now and is so much better he's being a little pesty -- which is really, really good.

Jeanette -- great on doing all you are -- hope your weekend is going well. I've gotten to preview one of the workouts, but that's all so far.

Rhea -- hope that trial is over and your weekend is started. : )

Have a great rest of the weekend.:7
 
A Very Good Evening to you All!:)

Well, it's been a good weekend, the kitty is so much better (knock on wood) and I'm feeling pretty good, as well.

Okay, so it's about next week -- my plan is the new workouts -- 4 day split -- I haven't previewed them all yet -- I probably need to go and see how others are doing their rotations. But I think I'll just take it one workout at a time.

Monday: HIS

Tuesday: LIS

Wed: Bootcamp

Thurs: Kickbox

Friday: IMAX2

Saturday: Cardio & Weights or a similar workout (I might swtich these days around)

Sun: Active day off

Hope you had a terrific weekend -- Rhea, do you have any extra time off? And Jeanette -- hope your bike club meeting went well.

Have a super day!:7

Good morning,
Had a very nice weekend, got wood with DH and my Dad, bike ride on Tuesday (beautiful weather), golf on Saturday and Sunday. I'm trying to play as much as I can until the bad weather hits.

Today was Muscle Max Timesaver 56 minutes. Enjoyed it.

Karen, glad the kitty is doing well. Any home givers for it yet? Enjoy HIS today. I still don't have the last combo quite down yet, but I get there somehow.

Rhea, hope you are doing well. Getting ready for Thanksgiving? I picked up some ingredients for the 2 dishes I have to prepare and transport to Quincy.

Great workouts,

Jeanette
 
Good morning!

Had a great weekend. Managed to get a hung jury, so one for the defense! Did HIS on Saturday, I have that combo three down much better, but not perfect, still lots of laughing. I was going to do Kickbox yesterday, but DH planned my entire day and I didn't have time for working out. I'm not even sure I'll be able to squeeze it in today. I have a nail appointment at noon and then a physical therapist appointment at 4:00 in Chester. So I might have to wait until tomorrow. I think I'll be able to workout on Thurs. before everyone gets here.

Glad the kitty is doing well. He probably just had to adjust to the type of food he was finally getting.

We went to Chester yesterday and looked at property. It is something we are playing with.....buying land and building over there.

Well, I supposed I should pretend to work. Have a great day everyone!
 
Good Afternoon!:)

Well, as it turns out I chickened out of doing HIS today -- got up late and needed a quicker workout, as well. I know, I know. So I figured I'd do another CTX workout week and start out next week with the new rotation.

It's my birthday week this week, as well as Thanksgiving so hoping it will be a good week. Yes, I am so glad that the kitty is doing well. Still looking for a care giver for him. I've named him -- call him Georgie -- it's from that cartoon with the abominable snowman, where he finds bugs bunny and says "You're mine. I will love you and hug you and kiss you and and take you home and call you George..."

Jeanette, are your relatives in Quincy? I am really homesick at this point and am missing fixing my own Thanksgiving dinner. Great on Muscle Max -- love tht premix.

Rhea -- YEA!!!! on the hung jury -- what exactly does that mean? I know it's a mistrial, right, but is there some reason it's called a hung jury? Buy property sounds like fun -- and in Chester. Sounds really, really great!

Well, have a super day tomorrow and great prep for Thanksgiving.:7
 
Good morning,
Yesterday I received my new Tracey Staehle DVD's. However, when I played the step DVD today, it kept freezing so I emailed Tracey for replacement. Hoping to hear from her. Anyway, I finished off the workout with her first DVD High Intensity Step Mix. Not a very thorough cardio today, but will try to get a couple of walks in today during work.

Karen, my sister lives in Quincy. We'll have a small group over there, looking forward to it. Hugs to you on the homesickness. Glad Georgie is doing better. Bet you are getting attached to him.

Rhea, glad the trial is over for you. Hope the PT appointment goes well for you. Bet property is pricey in the Chester area. Hope you can find a good deal.

Jeanette
 
Good afternoon!

Believe it or not Chester prices are coming down. Not as pricey as you would think. Can get some smaller lots for as low as 79K. We don't want a big lot, don't want much yard work over there.

PT has me doing some special exercises for the shoulder. I have an "impingement" problem where my arm socket is squishing my upper part of the muscle/bursa which cause inflammation and pain. So the first step is to try and get the inflammation down and stretch out the area. I'm not supposed to keep my exercises at a 45 degree angle. I haven't had time to workout lately, things keep getting in the way, so I might just wait until Sat and give the shoulder a good rest. (even though my weight is waaaay up there, I might run or something)

Well, back to the grind.

Oh, Karen, yes, hung jury means mistrial. More specifically they disagreed on the guilty/not guilty verdict. It was a 7 to 5 split. So it was almost an even disagreement.
 
Good Evening!:)

Am fighting a hip injury from kickboxing on Friday -- kept thinking it would just go away, but instead it's gotten a little worse -- so today I did All Step, even though the hip was protesting. We'll see if it's any better tomorrow, but I think I'm going to skip any kickboxing until it's all healed. It's my left hip and it goes out quite often in kickboxing, unfortunately.

My hip and your shoulder, huh, Rhea?

Spekaing of which I hope that your shoulder just gets better and better. That PT sounds like he/she knows what he/she is talking about.

Jeanette -- Is Tracey Staehle the same Tracey from the old FIRM's? Is so, I really like her. Hope that DVD gets fixed. I'm sure it will. Have a terrific time with your sister -- sounds wonderful, actually.

Rhea, thanks for the lesson on a hung jury. Yeah, it does sound like they were pretty evenly disagreed.

Well, in case I don't hear from you cause of the Holidays, let me wish you both the warmth of the Thanksgiving season -- hope you spend it with family and have a warm, wonderful holiday!:7
