Lurkers Invitation 2010

Well today I did Step Moves.

Janie The dentist isn't much fun. I had my fill a couple of weeks ago, between my cleaning and crown and one of our cats getting his teeth cleaned I don't want to see a dentist again for awhile. I think it was something that I ate. Sometimes food doesn't always agree with me, but I am feeling fine now. With Facebook you can reconnect with people you haven't seen in years or keep in touch with family or friends around the world. And as Pam says everything is in one area instead of hunting around for it.

Pam Oh my CCC and plyo legs back to back. I guess I have something to look forward to don't I LOL..... The stretching is good. I don't do nearly as much of it as I should. I did sleep a lot but that helped me to recover. I think it was something that I ate because I was feeling fine before Easter dinner. Sometimes when I eat something that I don't usually eat (unhealthy) I end up paying for it. Glad you had fun on your birthday. Actually I have never been on a set of skis before in my life. We have ski hills about 45 minutes away from us but i find the cost keeps me from doing it. I don't think there are many people living in the Vancouver area that haven't skied at least once. Enjoy your time at the beach. Hopefully the weather will be nice for you. It is still raining here......:( it just doesn't want to stop.....

Joey and I did TBS today with heavy weight.

Pam, Awe, that's so sweet that Joey and I make you smile. We make each other smile too. LOL:D

I don't like going to the dentist either. I have such a sensitive gag reflex. By poor hygienist, has to stop working constantly waiting for me to stop gagging. She is so patient with me. Yuck!

Didn't get the plants in the ground yet, it's been too rainy.:(

Good job on your workout.;)

Will check up on Facebook.

Cheryl, Great job on your cardio.

So glad you are feeling better.

Facebook seems so popular, will check it out. I think I am on it, but that was 2 or 3 years ago. I'll see what I can do.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Cheryl Glad to hear that you re feeling better. It sounds like it probably was something you ate. It's funny how our bodies can reject 'bad' foods once you get it used to eating well! Yes you definitely have something to look forward to with plyo legs and CCC back to back, if you could call it that :rolleyes: I know what you mean about skiing being expensive. The lift tickets alone have gotten really crazy but then you need all the equipment too. We usually only go once a year, if that. Sorry to hear you are still getting rain :( hope it clears up soon! The forecast is looking good so far for our weekend at the beach. Our friend are already there and said that the wind is crazy so I sure hope the boys don't hurt themselves with their kite surfing! My husband says his goal is to come home with no major injuries! :confused:

Janie I didn't get my plants in the ground either. I also didn't get packed last night. I was planning on just taking a 1/2 day vacation today but I had to take the whole day so that I could do those things before we go. But of course here I am online :rolleyes:
We'll be looking for you on facebook! Isn't that cruise of yours coming up very soon (next week?)

I am now officially finished with my first STS rotation :D I did disc 36 and the cardio only portion of 4DS LIS. Last night my husband and I were standing talking about something and he was just staring at my arm and then started touching it and said how good my arms looked :D I wasn't sure that STS made any difference but he said it DEFINITELY has. He said that next time we need to take pictures so I can see the difference. I thought that was pretty cool! The next STS rotation won't be until water ski season is over though. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Just planted today.

Pam, Got my plants in the ground today. Took such a long time and it was so darn cold out. Buuuururrrrrrrr! Thank goodness that's done.

Cruise is coming on the 18th. It's very soon now. I still have my bags packed and still adding to it almost everyday. It's getting heavy. I might have to take a few things out of it. LOL

Congratulations for finishing STS series. YooHoo!

Wow! That is one wonderful compliment from DH. Good for you. Isn't STS the most wonderful thing on earth?

Have a good one,

Janie
 
Well I didn't workout today. Husband wanted me to go with him to pick up a Playstation 2 system that included Guitar Hero along with some other games that someone was selling on Craig's list. That's why I should workout in the morning in case something comes up in the evening.

Pam Well it rained again last night along with a major wind storm. But luckly the rain stopped when I had to leave for work. The nice thing is it looks like it is going to be nice on Saturday. I will keep my fingers crossed. Kite surfing sounds like fun. Congratulations on finishing your first STS rotation. Isn't is nice when you get compliments. Just wait until your next STS rotation to see if you can get those guns a popping. Enjoy your weekend at the beach.

Janie It was really cold here today too. I don't like to work out in the garden until it warms up a bit more. May is usually when I get out and start planting. Your cruise is coming up fast. You will have a lot of fun. The 18th is the same day that I leave to go to Ottawa for training, but your trip will be a lot more fun than mine. They were having really hot weather there but it will probably snow when I go :rolleyes:

Cheryl
 
Cheryl, How is the Playstation 2 system working out?

Everyone, I thought I was going to bring along a lap top on the cruise with me. But, I'm not. Joey wants me to experience everything they have to offer and not do anything normal while I'm there. He has a good point there. You may not hear from me for 16 days, but you will hear plenty once I get back home.:D;):D

Take care,

Janie
 
Hi everyone How is everyone doing? I know Pam is in her vacation having some fun while the weather permits that I hope everything get better. We are done with the rotation.... Only one more workout and I'll enjoy 1 week of recovery;):p
Cheryl I hope you have fun with your new toy we have one and hardly use it... OK we use it to play blue-ray discos and the the guitar thingy not that much I know we are bored and I think its because its only girls in this house:confused::eek:
Janie are you living this month?! I guess time goes so fast ... Have fun in your cruise... its funny how your DH wants you NOT TO DO ANYTHING NORMAL :D Hes right:cool: Take care, and we'll be waiting to see those pictures and heard how was it!!!

Probably next week its going to be a lazy quiet week "recovery week" but then hit the March rotation...
I'm happy I gain that lovely 5% of strength doing sts and a pair of shorts that I stop using a while ago they fit me PERFECT" I haven't loose weight but I think I loose inches around my hips and tights my shoulders look better and my biceps finally they look like BICEPS"
Take care!!!
 
Eunice, Congratulations for finishing your rotation. Enjoy your week of recovery. You deserve it! Yeah!

Joey just wants the best world for me. Bless his heart. LOL;) Will be leaving on the cruise the 18. Only a week away. Yeah!

You are really getting results. And your beautiful pictures prove it. Very proud of you for staying in such great shape. Good for you!

Janie
 
Well it was finally nice enough out that we could get our car washed. It was sunny but still a bit cold. It looks like it will stay this way for awhile.

JanieRight now we are having a lot of fun with it. We will see if it dies out. Enjoy your cruise. You will probably be so busy that you won't have time to post. Just fill us in with everything when you get back.

Eunice Congratulations on your results with STS. Enjoy your week off.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl I love Guitar Hero. I'm really bad at it, but it's a lot of fun. It's kind've rude to you when you aren't good though!

Did you end up having nice weather on Saturday? Friday morning it was cold and rainy at the beach - we had a big thunderstorm Thursday night that lasted into Friday morning. It turned out ok as fara as the class went because they did inside instruction on Friday morning. Then on Friday afternoon they got out on the beach to practice with the kites. The problem was that when the front came through all of the wind completely died behind it. So it stopped blowing Friday afternoon and we didn't see a bit of wind after that. So now we will be going back in 2 weeks for the lesson. It's nice that they are so flexible about rescheduling though. We came home a day early since we figured we might as well work today and save the vacation day.

Janie No laptop on the cruise?! I'm not sure I could survive! :confused: It is a good idea to experience everything they have to offer though. We will be looking forward to all of the stories when you get back! I still didn't get all my plants in on Thursday, but I got most of them in and the others are going to have to wait a few more days. My mom came over and kept them watered when we were gone, so they are looking good.

Eunice Yes we had good weather, TOO good as I said above. :p You can't kiteboard with no wind so looks like we'll be having another mini-vacation in 2 weeks. :D I hope you are enjoying your recovery week! I'm looking forward to the March rotation. We dont' have PS2, but we have a PS3, and my husband loaded my Cathe downloads on it, so that is what I will be using for the March rotation. He had to give me a lesson in how to use it because I never have. The kids use it all the time though. Hooray on your success with fitting into those shorts! :D Good job! And on your biceps! :p

So as I said we cut the long weekend a bit short and came home yesterday instead of today. Now we are going back on the 23rd, but just for the weekend. As long as there is wind anyway. It was crazy windy up until the day before his lessons were supposed to start! ay yi yi :rolleyes: So we did a lot of eating and drinking but not much exercising :eek: On Saturday we did go for a 5 mile walk on the beach, but that was it! I'm glad it was active recovery week! This morning I did IMAX and the first Ab routine on Ab hits. i think it's the one from max Intensity strength. Quite a bit different from the ab workouts we are doing now - nothing but crunches! I did find that Imax seemed easier than normal. I'm not sure if that because of the Hiits or because of a couple of days of rest! In any case it was fun! Have a great day everyone.

Pam
 
Hi Cheryl Hope you are having a better weather, we have the craziest weather ever, the weekend it was so hot and today its so cold with some rain crazy. How do you like your new toy ?!

Janie are you getting ready for your trip?! just a few more days to go:D Take lots of pictures for us, and I can wait to heard everything about it!!:D

Pam I was going to ask you what you did today since you got home early, but I see that you did IMaX not an easy one.... you make feel like a wimp I think I really need to take this week off, I did step,jump,pump I have never done it , ok maybe 2-3 times before so just trying to learn the new step was a headache :confused: Tomorrow I have a field trip and I'll see what I feel like doing maybe something ligh... no not Cathe hahaha:p

So another mini-vacation in 2 weeks ha!!. :D What kind of Mexican food did you cook?! Yesterday I had some cake OMG :confused: It was sooo goodd!! sooo baadddd:confused: but I guess that's ok !!

That rotation sounds good before my Vacation my sisters and Mom they going to feed me with all kind of Mexican food!! Tamales Oaxaquenos, Birria, posole, OMG I think I gain 5 pounds just thinking about it:eek: I'm going to take my Travel DVD and hope to have time to workout:D:D Ok now I'm getting excited!!!
O well
See you guys latter!!!
 
Pam We haven't tried guitar hero yet. I know that I will be really bad at it too. The weather for the weekend was nice. Saturday was a bit windy but Sunday was really nice. It sounds like you could have used some of the wind that we had LOL. Well you get another mini vacation out of it. The ab routines sure have changed haven't they. I think they are a lot harder now than when we did do all of those crunches. I looked at the link you gave for the rotation and I couldn't see it. I don't know if you gave the wrong link or if it is me. I know fitness freak did up a get ready for summer rotation that looks good.

Eunice The weather has improved and is getting a bit warmer however there is still rain in the forecast for this week. We haven't used the new toy too much. Hopefully we will get more use out of it, or my husband whose toy it really is.

Cheryl
 
Eunice I had to do something intense today after all of the eating and drinking and no exercising over the weekend. I love Step, Jump and Pump, except I am not really crazy about the step part of that one. Step Blast is one of my favorites. I haven't decided what I'll do tomorrow yet. I was really enjoying no having to decide!

Yes another mini-vacation in 2 weeks, can you believe it? :p For my Mexican dinner I did a France meets Mexico first course with duck confit quesadillas, then cheese and shrimp stuffed roasted poblanos with a roasted red pepper sauce with black beans and rice. Yum! See why I had to do Imax this morning?! :rolleyes: I made car bomb cupcakes for dessert but was too full to have one, so had one for breakfast the next morning. :eek: I forgot all about the travel dvd, I haven't even looked at it yet. Maybe I will have to take it when we go back next time.

Cheryl I'm glad to hear that you got some nice weather for the weekend but I wish you had sent some of that wind our way :) I agree that the ab routines are much harder now. I'm not sure my abs really got much of a workout this morning. Oh well. The rotation that I was trying to point to was fitnessfreaks Get ready for summer rotation. I copied the link that she posted but it looks like when you paste it it gets messed up. I just updated my original post to point to the right place.
Now it's past my bedtime so I need to get to bed. Night all

Good morning! I did Step Blast this morning since Eunice got me thinking about it with her Step Jump and Pump. It was a lot of fun! Have a great day.

Pam
 
Pam, That looks like a fantastic rotation. I should have returned from the cruise by then.

Eunice, I am getting ready for the trip. I can't wait, I'm so excited! When is your trip? How exciting for you to see your family. That's wonderful. Will any of your children go, and your husband with you?

Cheryl, Your games sound like such fun!

Pam, Wow! That dinner sounds wonderful!. The travel DVD is always great to take with you on trips/vacations.

Good going on your exercises. :)

Have a great day everyone,

Janie
 
Well it seems that I am having problems getting into Meso 3. I don't know if I am getting bored because I started it in January and with the breaks I have taken it just seems to be dragging on. So this morning I did 4 Day Split High Impact. It is one I haven't done in a long time and it helped to do something different.

Pam Step Blast is one of my favorites too. That is one I haven't done in a while. Your Mexican Dinner sounds really good too. I was wondering if it was fitnessfreaks rotation that you were thinking of doing. I am in for that one in May with you.

Cheryl
 
Janie, Your cruise is right around the corner, you must be getting so excited! It sounds like you, me, Cheryl, and Eunice are all in for the fitnessfreak rotation. Eunice and I need to get through the March one first, so hope you gals don't mind waiting til mid May to start it.

Cheryl The biggest problem I had with meso 3 were all of the long waits. Before I got my quick release collars I needed the time just to get my weights changed, but once I got those I didn't like spending so much time sitting around. I like that 4DS disc a lot!

This morning I did a Christy Taylor step disc. Very different from Cathe. Christy is such an excellent queuer (sp??). She can really break down complcated routines. Her intensity is a lot lower but I think that was a good thing for active recovery week.

Eunice Hope that ankle is doing better today :confused:

Pam
 
Did MM today with my Joey.

Pam,

Mid May would be perfect for me as well. It will give me a chance to get back to normal.

I am so excited about this trip! Sunday night, we fly out to Charleston S. Carolina. Yippy!

Janie
 
Pam Mid May sounds fine to start Fitnessfreak's rotation. Just let me know when everyone is ready to go.

Janie You are going to have a lot of fun on your trip. Wow 4 more sleeps until you go....:)
