KK's September Check-In

[Author]

Thought I'd start a new check in.

Wow, we are only 1 1/2 miles away from the fires. I remember, Rhea, when you and Jeanette were talking about the fires near you. It is interesting, isn't it, to see the soot in the air -- falling like snow -- and it gets on everything. Really don't think they're going to come where we are -- we are not in the hills, and right now, the fires seem to be centered in the hills.

Yes, Georgie is better -- knock on wood. He's very leary of going outside, however. The time may come when he'll want to go out again, but not now -- he has no interest. However, he has discovered again his infatuation for Kali.

Janie, you do seem to have your hands full, and you do so well with that. Yes, the book, Clear Body, Clear Mind will tell you the particulars so that you can make up your own mind.

Anyway, today was again the Total Body Sculpting going heavy -- the time is just so perfect for me with that. Went to the blog to look at the pictures of the new workouts. I'm anxiously awaiting that, since I'm always on the lookout for shorter, yet intense, workouts at present.

Have a super day everyone. I'm off to make dinner. Goodness, it's hot here with the fires. Okay, have a super evening!

Can't believe that August is over and into Sept. already. In a blink of an eye and Aug. was gone. How did that happen?

KK, OMGosh, you can see soot in the air because of the fires around you? Aren't you scared?

So glad Georgie is OK and still infatuated with Kali. That's more normal. YEAH!

Did Low Max today. Sheesh that was a long workout. Burned a lot of calories and thought I wasn't going to make it through a couple of times. But, I did! YES!

Great job on your workout. Love TBS.

Have a great evening everyone,

Janie

 

[Rhea]

Good evening!

Fingers crossed that those fires get put out soon. That smoke is killer on the lungs.

Did a workout yesterday, but had no energy to do one today. Then DH came home not feeling well, so probably battling something myself, just not all the way. So I'll rest and drink lots of fluids. My co-worker is off for the birth of his little boy, so I can't get sick right now. At least we have a three day weekend for me to rest up.

Hope everyone is doing great! Glad that Georgie is better and acting very normal.

Good Evening!

Wow! The fires just keep on going. It is so overcast here with smoke -- and the soot falling from the air -- like snow -- really. We are very close to them -- but there are so many streets here and so much green grass that I think they'd die out if they came here -- so many fire breaks. A friend of mine only a block or two over from me put her grand piano in storage in Burbank until the whole thing is over.

It doesn't really scare me -- just have my priorities down -- animals first -- food and then anything else we can grab -- but I think the fires are not as bad today as in other days -- but boy, that smoke really does get to you -- there on the hills was big, huge black smoke all day.

Anyway, today was step only from IMAX 3 for me today -- another good time -- only 31 minutes.

Janie, yes, LowMax is hard -- and it is long -- it's why I seldom do it. That and it's just hard. But well done for getting through it.

Rhea, yeah, I hope whatever it is that it doesn't affect you. A new boy coming into the world, huh? How exciting.

Have been looking at the photos for the new workouts to come. Can't wait -- they really do look fun -- did you see the step, however, on 5 risers? I don't have 5 risers to put under my step. It'll be interesting and I bet fun.

Well, have a super evening!

Rhea, Wishing you well and that you don't get sick. I think resting up during the weekend is a good idea. Get Better.

KK, Please stay safe and protected yourself from those fires. I worry about you guys. Do you want to come here until the fires go out? Really, I'm serious!

Good job on IMAX3. Does working out affect the way you exercise from the fires? I'm also excited for the new workouts to come.

Today was yoga and budakon. Just another DVD I have that needed to be used. It was great.

Yep, DH is definitely down with the flu, what kind, who knows. Flu season hasn't started yet and the swine flu is the one that is out there, so probably it. Same symptoms as regular flu as far as I can tell. I've been cleaning and resting and nursing, etc. I'll have all weekend for this I guess. No workouts for me.

Hope everyone has a great three day weekend.

 

[janiejoey]

Rhea,

Please take care of yourself so you don't get the flu too. How awful!

Hope you have a good holiday anyway. I feel for you.

Janie

KK, How ya doing girl? Hows things going? I presume very busy.

Good Morning!

Tried like mad to post last night, but it wouldn't post for some reason. Weekend was busy beyond belief. Garage sale on Saturday -- my BIL's things -- then clean up -- take what was left to Good Will -- we still have all of his books to go through, etc. Wow!

Didn't exercise at all over the weekend, just too busy.

Georgie is back to his old self -- he went outside, but got upset and came in and I was afraid he was sick again -- but not, he just wasn't quite ready to go out again. Now, I have kitty grass next to each area where he comes into the house. Hopefully...

Rhea, that's really something about your DH having the flu -- take care, darlin'. Keep us informed.

Janie, so glad that you're keeping going. And thanks for keeping the forum alive. Nice to see.

What do you all think of Daytona? Interesting, huh? Not that I would try out, but I think the whole concept is interesting.

Have a super day!

 

[janiejoey]

KK, Sounds like your weekend was horribly busy. Slow down girl!

Don't fret about not working out this weekend, just think of it as a active rest time.

Love to hear about Georgie doing better.

Daytona? If I was younger and closer to Florida, then I would try for it.

Take care and have a great day,

Janie

 

[Rhea]

Okay, I have to get back on the workout bandwagon tomorrow! I weighed this morning and OMG!! I guess I should stop eating all I cook, huh? I want to look good in a swimsuit in Nov, so I had better get busy!

Looks like everyone else is doing great. I've got to get some ironing done, so off I am!

I do too Rhea. Since Sid has been here, I'm kinda letting my guard down. So, today I did Aerobic Yoga for 30 min. It was great to do that again. Huffed and puffed my way through. Next time I'll finish the hour, at least that is my goal. Tomorrow will go to the rain forest and ocean to explore. Doesn't that sound like so much fun! Can't wait.

Have a great day,

Janie

Good Evening!

Today was once again, Total Body Sculpting, going a little heavy. Perfect time for me.

That weight thing looks interesting,Janie.

And Rhea, I know you'll get back on track -- just alot going on.

Gotta run -- heavy deadline for revisions -- I'll probably be up through the night.

Have a super day!

 

[Rhea]

Ran out of time yesterday, darn it. Okay, I could have worked out when I got home, but it was very hot in the house and was time to cook dinner, so I just did not start up. Today I will get home at lunch and do a workout, no matter what!

Rhea, We all run out of time. Just begin tomorrow. You are doing fine. Just pump yourself up for tomorrow.

Did the about 30 min. of the Wedding Video today.

We have Chasie (our grandson with us for a couple of days) YEAH! Already went hot tubing and splashed each other to smithereens! So much fun to get grandpa. LOL

Good Evening!

Hi!

Busy,busy. Deadline for the revisions is done! Yea! Whew!

Got that sent off on Friday.

Am still on the 30 minute workouts, I'm afraid -- am supposed to do 30 minutes of Bootcamp tonight before bed -- am 3 lbs. overweight right -- how I hate that.

Nice to see you moving on the weight, Janie! I don't have the wedding video, but I see you do it often. Must be a nice workout.

Boy, Rhea, I understand. Life is so busy, busy, busy right now. And who want to workout in a hot house. Not a lot of fun.

My workouts next week will have to continue to be around the 30 minute time limit -- life is just busy -- did I mention that?

Have a super day!

 

[Rhea]

Okay, I finally got to workout today! I've been buried in peaches, pears and apples. Haven't done much the the pears or apples, but still have a gazillion of them peaches. Also have a gazillion of apples and pears, but at least they take a while to ripen off the tree.

I'm about ready to close it up here, so I had better get out of the office before someone else tries to call in....

KK, I do love the Wedding Video. Can't help it. Please try to save time for yourself in your very busy world.

Love fresh fruit, and preserving them by drying or canning. Sounds like your work is cut out for ya. Glad you were able to work out. I didn't.

Take care and have a nice evening.

Good Morning!

Life is busy!

Rhea, all that fruit sounds wonderful -- I have very young fruit trees so we don't have much fruit from them at the moment -- but we did get tiny peaches this year. My mouth waters just hearing about it all. I do a lot of fermenting and such -- but it wouldn't keep them for longer than a month or so.

Janie, yeah time for myself... What is that?

My time for myself is working out and petting kitties and dogs. Other than that, my work is sort of time for myself right now, if that makes sense.

Anyway, yesterday was anaerobics day and today is strength day -- need to get those workouts in in the evening also -- I sleep better and my weight is more easily managed.

Have a super day!

Good Evening!

Today was 45 minutes of SJP -- hi/lo and weights -- tomorrow I plan on doing the step from it and abs -- trying to get my workouts up to 40 minutes -- am really fighting weight right now -- I'm now 4 lbs over the highest weight I can easily tolerate.

So trying to up the workouts and eat less.

Have a super day everyone.
