Low Carbers & Friends - Nov 2011

[Tigger]

Hi babes! I'm glad you can do the parts you want to do of LIC Lita! I did Athletic Training yesterday and it was harder this time! I had the day off and did it in the morning. Not my best time of day as you know! Darn cardio....

I did Insanity at lunch today and it's the last week of it--yipee!! My workout partners stopped before it was over 'cause they're so sick of it but I kept going. I am insane, aren't I?

I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season and are getting some down time in the midst of the craziness!

Tracy - I know a time I would've sweated over combo 4 but I'm either getting older & lazy or a heck of a lot wiser ! Nah - not insane, just committed !

Since things are so slow, I'm going to go ahead and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Hello all! Just wanted to pop in and say MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I'll probably be checking in a bit next week, but guess what? I have it off! whooo hoooooooooooo

Oh wow, Rhea, that's FANTASTIC !!!!!!! The best Christmas present of all, right ?

Hi all,

So glad to be back from RI. Worked M-W this week then have Thur and Fri off and of course next Monday. I feel like I may have a slight cold, just feeling tired and nose running and sneezing a lot.

Still have a few gifts to get my oldest son. I don't like waiting to last min like this, where has my head been? Hoping to get out to the store before noon, I hate driving in all this bad traffic.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Been raining and in 40's.

So glad you made it back safe and sound, Melinda ! And just in time to miss whatever storm is going up the coast right now . Hope you can get some rest and feel much better for the holiday !

Ok, so I changed my profile picture but I'm still seeing the old one. I don't understand how to do this, seems so complicated. Suggestions?

Hope you all had a good Christmas! I attached a collage we made. My niece got an Angry Bird hat and we all took pictures with it on.

Melinda - My first guess would be that the system thinks the picture is too large. That's a frequent problem with avatars . Cool picture !

OK, thanks, Lita. I'm not going to mess with it.

So I did LIC. WOW is all I have to say. I think it will be fun when I learn it. I should just practice one segment a day before doing another workout. Also been enjoying turbo barre workout. That sure burns my leg on the standing portion. And that ab move where you keep your elbow on the floor and go up more on one side is a real challenge for me. I usually can't do it all.

Thinking of starting STS in Jan. Anyone else up for it?

Melinda - Some of the ab moves in this new series are way beyond me . I like the TB workout too, even if I'm not sure I'm getting the full effect on the abduction series . But it is really nice to get a break from the same old squats and lunges ! I sold my STS so I can't join you on it.

Hi babes! Glad to see you all here! Enjoy your time off Rhea!!

I took today off 'cause...I felt like it. Very quiet at work and I had a white knuckle drive home Tuesday night from Vancouver (had my car worked on by my trusted mechanic) and yesterday, I was pretty pooped. So I've been lazy today!

Well, not completely lazy. I did an Amy Bento cardio this a.m. followed by the weight work and abs from BM2. And it didn't go all that well (had to take alot of breaks) so I guess I really was pooped! I'm not planning to do STS in Jan. My workout group at work is doing some Ripped in 30 days program. I'm fine with it even though I won't be ripped in 30 days. Or even in 365 days! That just doesn't happen with me, hee hee!

Great photo Melinda! How fun to make a collage like that. The things you can do with photos these days, huh? My neice made a wedding photo album for DH and I at Shutterfly.com. It's great!

Happy New Year dear babes if I don't get back here before 2012!! Egads! Where is the time going?!?

 

[Shadow]

Hey, Tracy ! Good for you taking a day off! I'm such a doofus I've never done that ... Shoot - even when I got sick days, I always felt too guilty to take them, too . Well - not all of us can looked ripped, ya know ! Or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it ! Sorry for your scary drive going home - glad you made it okay! I always have to stop on the arm work on BM2 - she just goes too fast for me!

Well, my friends, I wish you all a Happy New Year - and may we all find many reasons to celebrate 2012 !

Just in case someone can't wait to check in for the New Year , I started a new thread here. I won't be on line until Tuesday most likely so I thought I'd better start the new year on track .
