KK's September Check-In

Good Evening!

Hi Rhea!

Well, this weekend has been tough on me workout wise -- still so busy I can hardly see straight -- just keep going from one thing to another.

My day off today -- but hope to do a little cardio before bedtime -- we'll see.

Hope your workouts are all fun! Have a super day!:D
 
Yep, no workout this weekend for me, but did get the Friday one in. This week is going to be tough since I have a trial scheduled. Oh well.

Hope everything loosens up soon. Have a great day!
 
Good Evening!

Oops! I forgot to post yesterday.:eek:

Gee, Rhea, I sure understand busy schedules and almost no time for anything but work. Only recently has my schedule had a moment or two to breathe -- but it's truly only a moment or two.

With the economy and things going further and further south, not sure if this will change and get back to normal or not. I don't know. All I can do is keep doing what I'm doing and hope that sooner or later there will be a moment or two to breathe.

Yesterday was 4DS Bootcamp and today was Push/Pull -- a little bit of a longer workout, but well worth it.

Hope things settle down. Janie, if you're checking your email at all, hope you're having a wonderful time.:D
 
Hey KK, should we start an October check-in? LOL I just realized that we're still posting on the Sept. thread. But maybe we should wait until Janie gets back from FL so we don't lose her too much.

My week is almost done, once trial is over, then I'm back at it with the workouts. No other real big trials until Feb (so far that is, so cross your fingers)

I can't wait until retirement. :p

Now off for a bottle, I mean a glass....lol, I can't believe I wrote bottle...... of wine. I wouldn't be in very good shape if I drank an entire bottle tonight. Yuck.

Have a great rest of the evening. Hope Janie is having fun in FL.
 
Good Evening!

Hi Rhea!

Well, I kinda like the bottle idea, myself. ;)

Are we really still on the September check-in? I actually hadn't noticed.

I'm amazed that you can workout at all -- or even think about it -- during a trial. Wow! But hopefully after this week, you can celebrate -- that would be great to have a sort of rest until February.

I'll be going back to Florida for a couple of weeks probably on Sunday or maybe Monday -- depending on when we get the car ready -- it's not like last time -- that course is done, done, done. Only a couple of weeks -- then home again.

I'll check in along the way when I can.

Today was cardio only from HSTA -- short and sweet.:)

Have a great day!
 
KK and Rhea,

Got back fairly late last night. Was so tired decided to go to bed at 8pm, and got up this morning around 7:30am. How a bout that for sleeping in? Yikes! Anyway, the trip was a huge success, and did everything on the itinerary. Our Chasie was in 7th heaven, with wide eyes and all kinds of expressions. Tina just couldn't get relaxed, but she did OK. Me, I had a ball! Lots of distractions, rides, and swimming. Walked at least 7 miles a day. Had to use skin mole under the ball of my foot for a couple of days for a blister that was forming, other than that, nothing slowed me down. Blister went away in one day. Eating at fabulous restaurants did not do well with the waist line, but, I'm home now and will continue on the journey of losing that extra weight.

I've read all the posts and it seems everyone is doing great on their exercises. Without going into so much detail, Life with all it's ups and downs, are on us all and we are doing what needs to be done. Good for us! I'm so grateful for our little group and the support we all get from it.;)

I've missed this forum and so glad to be home.:D

Need to go to the store and get cleaning stuff for cat messes. Accidents have happened while we were gone, even though Joey looked in on them from time to time. I think they were trying to tell us something.:rolleyes:

Will be doing a Step workout sometime today.

Janie
 
Good Saturday!

I did not have a bottle, only a glass of wine! I had to be alive and well for the trial the next day. I did not workout at all during this trial. Darn back was being persnickety, so no workouts.

But on the lighter side of things, I won the trial. Not guilty on all counts which should send a message to the police officers of this town that they have to treat people with respect when they are arresting them, not with excessive force and pure meanness, no matter who they are arresting. It probably won't work, but its a thought.

Today was my first day of working out in a week. So I decided to pop in Cardio and Weights. Yeow. I had to stop a couple of times because I was too winded. Me, the cardio queen! It felt great though.

Janie - cats get peeved at us for leaving their majesties alone and without the proper staff to care for them. I know, I have three royal highnesses that have different needs.

KK - back to FL for a while huh? Does DH get to go with you? Drive safe.

Well, I better head off to the showers and get to my fun sewing. DH is off scouting for chukars (bird season opens up next weekend, so I'll be getting fresh chukar for dinner. Well, if he gets any that is...lol)
 
Good Evening!

Wow! I'm glad I checked in tonight -- I don't always on the weekends.

Janie, so good to have you back. It sounds like it was really fun -- how was Florida this time of year? I'll be going back on Monday for about 2 weeks -- then home again. I hear it's not too terribly hot -- I hope. I hope. I'll be staying with my god-daughter while I'm there -- and I'll be taking B-day presents for her kids whose b-days are in October and November.

NO, hubby stays here and works -- which we need right now - but this won't be a long trip. There and back -- hopefully not more than 2 weeks, including driving.

Rhea, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I so agree with you on the police -- they're actually upsetting me lately with their new "toys" of tazers and sonic cannons, etc. I've seen some things on the internet that concern me greatly, so I'm so glad that you won.

Well, you know Cardio and Weights is certainly not for sissy's. And if you haven't been exercising in a while...

I'm still on my 30+ minutes a day -- I've gotten the BM2 down to 3 separpate workouts -- one cardio -- the next anaerobics and legs -- and the next upper body -- today I did upper body -- the longest of the three, I noticed -- clocked in at about 48 minutes.

Have a super rest of the weekend and enjoy that sewing -- and Janie, enjoy the pleasure of just being home, no matter what the cats did, I know they're happy to see you. :D

KK, the weather was in the high 80's and low 90's. We had a blast! Enjoy Florida and your God daughter and her children while you are there. It is so beautiful!

Wow, I almost missed this thread. It was buried!

Great pictures Janie!

Did some great workouts yesterday and did an old Firm one today. So hopefully getting back into the swing of things.

Hope everyone is doing great. I'll keep finding our thread so we can keep it up front. :D
 
Good evening!

I did another Christi Taylor today. Fun stuff. Hopefully it will start moving my flab off instead of just jiggling it:eek:

Got to go to Reno tomorrow, so it will be a rest day.

Hopefully everything is going great with y'all.
 
Hi Rhea,

Thank you for keeping us afloat.:rolleyes:

It does sound like you are getting back into the swing of things. You are an inspiration. Love Christyi, hmmmm, maybe I will do a cardio from her tomorrow.

Joey builds computers and went to Vegas to bring it to a guy that is a friend of our son. He should be home in a few weeks.

Lots of things needs to be done while Joey is out and about. LOL:cool:

Take care,

Janie
 
Will be creating a rotation in the next couple of hours. Then will start it today just before lunch.

Let you know more later,

Janie
 
Good afternoon!

Sounds like you have a lot that you want to do while Mr. Joey is gone. I do love the alone time to get things done. So much easier without having to worry about them being underfoot. Well, at least mine is....lol

Yesterday and today are days off. Tomorrow will be back at it with I think Cardio and Weights. I need to get some heavier weights in there to build muscle.

oops, got company.....
 
Yep, did Cardio and Weights yesterday. Sore today. Sore enough that I probably will take a rest day unless I get a bug in me to do some cardio in the afternoon.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
 
Rhea,

Keep up the good work on your workouts. Wish I could say the same.

Yesterday I did The Firm Jiggle Free Buns. It was a good workout.

Today I did Step Heat. Sweated, it was a great feeling.

Talk later,

Janie
 
Did the Totally Hot cardio and the Hip Hop abs today. Nice long cardio with a bit of core work at the end. I'm pooped.
:eek:
 
Good Afternoon!

Thanks so much for keeping everything going!

As soon as I got to my goddaughter's and checked email -- I have the copy edits awaiting me and they were in a program I couldn't do -- thank goodness I was with my goddaughter, because I was able to do them on her Mac.

Have been keeping in exercise every day -- a little here and there -- no more than 30 minutes -- should be coming home soon -- a week or so more is what I'm hoping for.

In the meantime, thanks to you both for keeping this going! More later.
:D
