Lurkers Invitation 2010

Had a fantastic time with my family. They decided to stay through Tuesday afternoon. They just left, and no one to talk to it seems. Miss them already.

We ate fairly well, except the evening we had pizza and ice cream.:eek:

We did all kinds of sister stuff, talking, hugging, stories, catch up, memories, and wonders. Lots of movies, shopping...

Tomorrow we will do a workout, and next week we will go to the ocean some time.

Seems you all are doing pretty good with your exercises. Very proud of you.

And it seems you all are staying out of trouble.;)

Take care and have a great evening.

One of my sisters has two small dogs and brought them with her. Rolly was in seventh heaven. He especially loved the the younger doggy and obeyed the older one. They played hide and seek, pull a parts, wrestling, barking and getting into trouble. All was great.

Cheryl you have to see that movie its soooo funny!! Toy Story 3 is a cute, sad movie good for the kids they and I loved the movie too.
I know ha! Brandy asked for a nose and belly button ring.. we start laughing "are you sure your not going to pas-out"? Lol
I know its getting closer, and it looks like there is not enough time to do anything else, next week we are going to Vegas for a day, after that that weekend DH is taking Astrid to El Paso, after that we are with out a house and furniture and vehicle, OMG it feels wired!!!
Really? do you have a cousin name Astrid, wow there is not a lot Astrid's I love that name....
Tomorrow the presale begins OMG that's excited!! Good job with the 40/20 I did the STS Pilate's abs also, and I started the Insanity, today was my second day, and I'm unbelievable sore, everything is sore even my back, legs, core, calves, every single inch in my legs I hope I can do it for tomorrow.

Pam thanks Pam you definitely made my day:p I hope we were close so we could have some nice lunch or some wine that would be so nice...
Today I was better than yesterday, is just when I think about it I get this knot on my gutt, and I can helped, but I know she'll be fine she is almost 20 years old, I know for American people she should've beeing out of the house a long ago, but for Mexican people we stay home until we get married, so its really hard for me.
Last night I was dieing, today its a better day this Insanity workouts are getting the best of me, DH told me "I thought that Cathe was keeping you on form?" I was like don't even start with Cathe live her along... Lol this workout are so different from what Cathe does, so of course I'm going to feel them. You should get them and we can do them together..
Brandy OMG I hope she keeps doing it with me, she does half of the workout, and complain that its so hard... I hate ShaunT" Lol that's what she say!! Good for you DSD I think in the long way is gets pay off.
I get it! I'm not crazy about the downloads, you say you'll get dvd's? I'm going to have to think about it, I would love to have the dvds as well, let see what happen. DH has one of those PSP I'm going to have to play with it and see how I like it!
did you really broke one of your rules? but at least the car is yours, and I'm guessing this is your son that soon is going to collage? I so would do the same thing, DH told Astrid that he would buy a $3000 car if she wants something better she has to come with the money, we never did, but have we spent a lot of money on her? oh yeah more than $3000.
I was thinking about you this morning I thought Pam did core so I better do some too Lol!!! Pam I'm sooooo sore everything hurts, the bad thing is that I won't be able to workout next week, so next time I workout I'm going to start from day 1, sooo maybe you have time to get the Insanity dvds and we can do it toghter....Lol!!!


Kelly welcome back!!! sounds like a good job, the time sound just right, so you don't have to miss your workout. Thanks Kelly, Astrid is not going just yet maybe in a few months but I'll let everyone know when this happen.. she wants to be a Physical Therapist, so cross fingers so everything goes well for her...
Nice job on Imax2 and the premixes, that's a good workout!!
well its time for me to go to bed so I'll talk to you guys later!!! good night!
 
Hi Kelly! Wow, we thought we had lost you! Congratulations on the new job, that sounds fantastic! 7:00-3:30 sounds like dream hours to me! How is your wedding planning coming?

Janie Glad to hear you had such a nice time with your family. And it was a great visit for Rolly too having friends to play with. Is he depressed now that they are gone? Your house probably feels very very quiet! Sometimes that can be good though ;)

Eunice It sounds like you are having fun with Insanity! Are you going to keep doing it when you get to Australia? I guess I'll have to go look at Craig's list again to see about getting those dvds! I hope that Brandy can hang in there with you.
One of these days we will have that glass of wine, maybe at a Cathe roadtrip! You know they make some really good red wines in Australia! Really nice shiraz that is not too expensive so you will have to give it a try when you are there.
I'm glad you are doing better but I know that it will be really hard for you when Astrid goes to Texas without you :( I'm glad that she will be with family though, hopefully that will help a little. I completely understand that feeling in your gut, she is one of your babies.
Any time you do different things you feel it and it good to mix it up a little and doing something besides Cathe once in awhile! Yes, our older (my step-son) is off to college is 2 weeks. It's so hard to believe!
I'm glad you did your core yesterday! Good job! I wouldn't worry about not being able to workout next week if I were you, you are going to have a very busy week with the move.

Hi Cheryl I hope you are doing well!

This morning I was supposed to do Step max but I don't really like those classics workouts so I did Mindy's Interval express instead. I like Mindy's workouts, they are really fun. it was pretty tough too. Now I'm off to work. have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
Jeanie glad you had a good time with your family... now you just going to miss them:( I love the sister time together, laughing, stories, wonders, shopping and movies, that make me miss my sisters too:(
Looks like rolly had a fun time as well, so cute!

Until today we stay out of trouble, you know today is Cathe new presale so no more good behaving any more:p .

Pam I don't know if FUN is the correct definition, I think is more like a butt wooping:eek:hahahaha!!! I think this is what I'm going to do in Australia while I get all of my equipment back, yes ! look at them and see if you decide to get them, so we can workout together !
Brandy is so funny, I think this is the wrong beginners exercise but she wants to do it, half of it!!
I can't wait till that Road Trip!! I'll try that Australian wine I'll keep that name on mind "shiraz" "shiraz" I have to memories it!

I know she is one of my babies, DH say that she was the experiment baby, you know with her is that I learn everything about kids, even to give them a shower!! hahaha!!! she knows that I love her..
Have you buy the presale?! I'll do it next week!
Mindy's workout?! ha! I don't know anything about her, but I bet DH doesn't want me to get to know her, he say that I don't need anything else when I have all this dvds...
Today it was cardio recovery for us 30 min. of stretching it was just perfect I didn't feel like doing a hard workout, my muscles really needed the day off, and get ready for tomorrow.
So have a good one...:p
 
Got TBS in for a warm up and did MM after. It was great. A Rolly walk.

Pam, Rolly is beside himself. He doesn't know what to do, so he's with me all the time. I took him for a long walk and he felt much better.

I love a great Mindy workout. She is tough. Good job.;)

Eunice, My order # is 63056. It all sounds so good. Can't wait for the process to begin. Oh, I guess it has.:rolleyes: Good job on the cardio recovery. What will the workout be tomorrow?

Have a nice evening.

Janie
 
It has been so hot and muggy here the last several days and the sky is hazy due to all of the forest fires that are burning. I haven't wanted to do anything. I did do Push Pull Tuesday morning but I couldn't get out of bed this morning. I haven't slept well for a while. This is the first day I have been on the computer since Monday.

Pam It has been in the 90s here, but it looks like it may cool down for the weekend. I think my workouts are going to be sporatic until it cools down. I am just a pile of goo when I get home :eek: and I hardly sleep because of the heat. I am still trying to incorporate more stretching but it hasn't worked yet :confused: I would be really nice right now to have a cool lake. We have several around us but good luck trying to get to them with all of the people. The Ipad is nice but I don't think I would get a lot of use out of it. I know people who just love them too. Yep I am going to get all four DVDs. I think I am going to go for the DVDs and not the downloads. I need to wait until next week to order because I have to wait for my cut off for my credit card so the charges will go to the next month. Bonus is our dollar is doing well so I won't have to pay hardly any extra for the exchange rate. Well you probably feel better knowing that DSD is driving a car that is reliable. She can buy her next car right.....

Kelly Welcome back. We thought we had lost you. I am glad that you got rid of your stressful job and got something that pays more and is less stressful. Your hours are good too. How is the wedding planning coming along?

Janie Glad to hear that you had fun with your family. I love pizza and ice cream. Sounds like Rolly had fun too, I bet he misses the dogs too.

Eunice We will have to see Toy Story, I have heard good things about it. Wow your move is getting so close. It is something that would be exciting and scary at the same time. Astrid isn't a name that your hear very often. I am not sure if I want Insanity........but it is a good sore right????

It is supposed to be hotter here tomorrow :( I will see how well I sleep, maybe I can do something tomorrow morning because I sure know I won't be able to do anything in the afternoon.

Have a great Thursday.

Cheryl
 
Janie Isn't it so funny how dogs mope around like that? You can really tell their feelings. I'm sure that the walk made him feel a lot better though. Congratulations on getting your pre-order in! I still haven't decided if I want all of the workouts or not. I am more of a cardio fan and it seems like these are mostly weight workouts other than Intensity, so I may just wait and get that one. We'll see, I hemmed and hawed over STS and finally pre-ordered it and was glad (after I finally did it!)

Cheryl Sorry to see you're still having the terrible heat. You probably don't have a/c either I'm guessing. For us a/c is almost more important than heat in our houses! We are back to 100 today and high 90's yesteday and the humidity is back. We are in the section of the weather map that was dark red with something like STIFLING written across it. :eek: I definitely wouldn't want to be working out either if I didn't have my air conditioned room to do it in. I even turn down the temp in that room when I go to workout. Are all of the forest fires because it's so hot/dry? There were forest fires burning miles away when we went to the beach a couple of years ago and there were days that you didn't want to go outside because of all the smoke in the air. It was unreal!
I'm pretty sure after all this hot weather that our lake will no longer be cool. We are quite spoiled with our lake since it's a private lake the only boats that are ever on it are the ski club. Once in awhile there will be a family there picnicing and swimming but that's it. I do feel better about the kids driving a more reliable car and it's our car that they get to drive, so no one keeps it or takes it with them when they go away to school. That is the story now at least! ;) We'll see if it lasts.

Eunice Your comment about not knowing if fun is the right word for insanity made me laugh. For some reason though we enjoy getting our butts wooped! What's up with that?! :rolleyes: Yes Insanity is kind've an odd workout chocie for someone to start out with, I hope it doesn't get her discouraged!
You won't need to memorize shiraz, I'll keep reminding you :p I think you would like Mindy! Her workouts are really good. She is probably my favorite next to Cathe. I have not bought the pre-sale, still thinking about it and deciding. I don't know how long the pre-sale lasts, probably not too long if they are trying to ship the dvds by the end of October!

This morning I did Power Hour. I really didn't feel like getting out of bed, but after hitting the snooze button 3 times I finally did. I'm always glad when I do, but it sure would be nice to get another hour of sleep! Eunice I haven't been living up to my name of Miss Vacation! We were talking about vacations and how my DH has a golf vacation planned but I don't have any vacations to look forward to. So we decided to go to Bermuda in September and made all the reservations last night!!! :D I can't wait, I have never been there. Have any of you? If so you will have to share your tips. OK, back to work so I'll be able to pay for this vacation! Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
Janie Good job with your workout!! Oh you are faster then me, I haven't place my order yet, I will do next week first thing I can't wait for the new workout to came out!! Cardio recovery was good, 30 min of stretching very well deserved. Today was Pure Cardio oh boy 30 loooooooog min of pure cardio with no rest in between that was insane, but I felt so good after I was done, after that I did yoga ab, love that one.

Cheryl I think weather can cheer you up or make us feel like poop:confused: I hope this week it gets better so you can get back to your routine.. what rotation are you doing, I think you say something about doing your thing , did you put something together or just whatever if feel like doing that day? Oh yeah Insanity is like doing Hit for 60 days, crazy I hope I can make it to the end!!!

Pam Ok I take that one back! Your right for some weird reason WE enjoy getting our butts whooped!!! :p day 4 and Brandy did got up !! I told her to wait till tomorrow to workout but she didn't want to she got up, so so far so good...
Thats my friend Pam! you'll remind me the wine's name thanks!!;) I have to check her up Mindy! and see how I like her, are her workouts long? like Cathe's..
Really???? You don't want to have all of the dvds? why? come on you know that later you'll need them when Cathe make up a rotation and what a better opportunity to get them for this price now... COME ON PAM!!!
I was thinking what time do you get up every morning to workout? I get up at 7:30 check my email drink a protein power with half milk, half water and then around 8-8:15 go workout:confused: I know I'm spoiled right now because I don't work, but I hope on our next place I get to have a job:eek:
Wow Bermuda!! that sound like heaven, beach, margaritas, seafood, nice weather... for how long are you guys going?! I have never been there so no tips from me, but what about going to the Bermuda Triangle :eek::confused: Have fun at work, I'm pretty sure that now you'll enjoy since Miss Vacation has a plan,LOl!!!
So today we did Pure Cardio whew!!! 30 min of pure cardio no rest in between I was about to die but I didn't after that I did yoga abs last time I did this one I found out that I can do those crocodile poses and I was very please surprise so I wanted to repeat that again... it was fun!!!
so 18 more days till we leave I miss you already! :(
Have a good day everyone!!!
 
Pam Today has been the worst and no we don't have a/c. We have some fans though :D but they only really blow the hot air around. The heat is one thing but when you get the humidity it is another story. We are in the 90s here I really don't want to see 100. It is too hard to work out in this heat without a/c so I guess I am taking a unscheduled break. It is suppose to rain on Saturday and Sunday so I should be able to do something then. All the forest fires are due to the hot dry weather. We have somewhere around 450 to 500 burning in our Province right now. That is why the air is crappy around here. We can't even see the North Shore mountains right now because of all of the smoke and they are really close.
It would be nice to have a private lake instead of fighting with everyone else to get a parking spot. I remember going on the September long weekend one year and gave up because you couldn't get anywhere near the lake. Shiraz is a good wine and Australia does make some good ones. I think I heard that the pre sale only goes to the end of August so if you are going to buy don't wait too long.
Lucky you to be going to Bermuda. I haven't been there but I would like to sometime. September isn't that far away either.

Eunice Oh yeah the weather is definitely making me feel like poop :( It is suppose to cool down this weekend so I am hoping to fit in some workouts. Since I am having a hard time doing my workouts I am just doing my own thing. It is really just what I feel like for the day. I don't know if I would like Insanity. I like to workout hard but not every day. You are so lucky to be able to get up at 7:30 and then workout around 8. That is my ideal time to workout and I do on the weekends. During the week days I start work at 7:00 so I have to leave the house by 5:50 at the latest to get to work on time and then I'm not home until 5:00. 18 more days.....that will come up fast.

Have a great Friday everyone.

Cheryl
 
Rest day for me today.

Cheryl, I don't blame you for not wanting to workout with air pollution from forest fires. Please stay safe. Hopefully soon, you will sleep better. Insomnia is so common around here. I know what you mean.:( With it being so hot the only time for exercising is the morning. Hope you have a great workout. There really is no other choice. Stay cool if you can.

Pam, For me, I've loved everyone of Cathe's workouts, so why change now? I'm very excited about the new workouts, especially interested in Intensity and the full body STS muscle workout. I too am in love with cardio.

Good going on PH. An oldie but a goody. Lots of reps, yes?

Where in the Bermuda Triangle will you be visiting? The only experience I had with it, is when I went on the Panama cruise and the ship past the corner of it. Sounds daring, romantic and fun all at the same time. Don't get lost or vanish into thin air! I don't want to read that you and your DH mysteriously disappeared.:confused:

Eunice, Great job on PC. I love cardio and I should remember that one. Maybe next time.

When you leave in 18 days, you can still get on the computer, can't you?:( I sure hope so!
 
Eunice I don't know WHY we like getting our butts whooped, weird huh? I think it just has to be the sense of accomplishment when we are finished. I'm glad to hear that Brandy got up for day 4, she must be liking it a little?! most of Mindy's workouts are 45-60 minutes. She has several where she has 40 minutes of step and 40 minutes of hi/lo that you can do individually or together. I especially like her interval workouts. I don't think they are as hard as the Imaxs, but they are pretty intense. You guys are killing me with the pre-order. We'll see, I may end up ordering all of them. I get up between 5-5:30 (Depending on how many times I hit the snooze :p) This morning I slept until almost 6 though because I was doing a Hiit AND working at home today, so that was nice. You are spoiled right now, so enjoy it while you can!
Yes I am excited about Bermuda. We will be going to 4 nights Spet 22-26. We'll try to stay away from the Bermuda triangle though :D I'm just worried that DH will try to get me to go diving. I had a very bad experience the last time I went diving so I'm not sure I want to go again :confused:

OK, you got me started looking at the insanity DVDs. I sent an email to someone who has them on Craig's list for $50 for the set new never opened so we'll see if I hear back from them today. I agree with Cheryl though, I'm not sure about a month of Hiit type workouts :rolleyes:

Cheryl Glad to hear you will be getting some relief from the weather this weekend. Yoiu definitely shouldn't be working out when it's that hot, I don't think it is safe. Not to mention that it makes you feel like a slug! I hope that the rain helps with the forest fires too.
My DH won a trip to Bermuda 3 years ago and the night before we were supposed to leave we got out our passports and found out mine was expired! Less than a month before that passports weren't required for Bermuda, but it was right when the passport laws changed :eek: That was terrible! The trip was all paid for so he called one of his friends and the two of them went! I stayed here and hung out with the friends wife, but we decided I needed to get the Bermuda trip.

Janie I'm not really sure where the Bermuda triangle intersects the island of Bermuda. In fact I hadn't even thought about the Bermuda triange until Eunice mentioned it. I will have to check it out on a map, but hopefully we will be avoiding it! We are staying at some resort on the south shore of the island which I think is where the pink beaches are.

Shani I've been enjoying the pictures from your trip on FB. It looks like you had a great time, you have some really good pictures! Your daughter is an absolute doll and you are both VERY photogenic!

This morning was Hiit DWP for me. It was really hard for me for some reason. I've been really tired all week so maybe that had something to do with it. I got through it and was happy for only 30 minutes though! On Monday and Tuesday I'll be going to New York for a recruiting event. I'll be interviewing college students who are graduating next spring, so that should be fun. have a great Friday!

Pam
 
OK, I'm picking up the insanity workouts at 8:00 tomorrow morning! :eek: I'll be ready for you when you get to Australia Eunice!!

Pam
 
Will be dong TBS in a couple of hours. Need to digest breakfast. Then will walk Rolly. It's overcast and nice for a walk.

Pam, Insanity confuses the body with all its cardio and using the big muscle brings on the sweat too. If I've gained unwanted fat, you can be sure I use those workouts, along with Cathe Hiit's. How can I not lose? Works for me anyway and so glad I have them, just for that reason. Most of the workouts are really hard for me, but what I do is just keep moving even if I can't keep up with them. It's a challenge I strive to fit into. $50.00 is a really great deal!

Here is a peek about where The Bermuda Triangle intersects.

the bermuda triangle map and details



Great job on DWP. Can't get better than that.:)

I hear the pink beaches are fabulous and the weather is great!

HAVE FUN!

Enjoy the process of interviewing students in NY and recruiting them. Wow! Very impressive.

Cheryl I hope you get a nice weather this weekend! So bad that you don't have AC, when we first got here 2 years ago, we had to stay in this little house, one bedroom, one bathroom, a small kitchen and NO AC... that was so hard on us you know first we are 6 in this family for a little place and then it was so HOT 100s or more so during the day we used to get out of the house and go to the library, so I know what you feel with the heat and no AC,are you guys are planning on getting something later in your house?!
If you get Insanity you can modify and do it at your own pace, and its weird but they don't hurt my knees, even when there is alot of Plyo moves, jumps, squats, I think I've learned a lot so I finally can use my body in the proper way, and get what I put on it, my legs are sore well everything is sore.... its different!!!
I know I'm lucky ha!I better enjoy while it last!! :confused: 17 days and counting...:confused:


Janie I hope you had enjoy your rest day!! So, you have Insanity! wow! its really hard, Its was pretty hard the first day doing the warm up:confused: now after we are in the middle of the second round of the warm up, I know we almost done... then we just have to push, I like what ShaunT say..."You can frickin do it" and I like the music too. I really can feel my core get worked out with this one, I know Pam will enjoy doing it!!!:D
After I get the Internet turn off, I can go to the Library once and check here, but not for to long, until we get were we are going... I'll miss you guys:(:(:(:(


Pam I'M SO EXCITED!!!! You got the Insanity wow!!!! I can't wait till we can do it together, you'll see you like it, or maybe you get to love it haha!!:D
Yeah, the sense of accomplishment when we are finished, that its what it get us all pumped for the rest of the day, so funny today we were doing the last part of the exercise with punch, I was telling Brandy.. hard Brandy punch hard hit Astrid" pretend I'll pretend I hit daddy;):D
I'll check on Mindy's later.;) Lol!! Pam are we really? are we killing you? NO! never... JK Lol! that's why we are here so we can push(enabler) each other to do what we don't want to do;)
5:30 that's early, that show how much you love YOU health, very nice Pam.. but know every time I know I won't have time to WO of because any excuse I have, I will think about you..
I used to do it when we were at Washington DC. I used to take DH to the metro about 5 and then stay up to WO, my job was pretty flexible (my boss use to liked me) so my shift was 8:30 to 4:30, time to WO and take my Rachel to school. It was nice I was smaller then..good times.. I miss that!!
Sep not to far away, I was just kidding about the Bermuda triangle, I don't want to spoil you vacation, I'm sure your DH won't make you do something that you don't want too!!
That stinks! when you are almost ready to go to your vacation and all of the sudden you have to cancel, I would had been so mad, that was terrible, good for you that now you are going to have your Bermuda vacation.... when at first read that you stay with the friends wife, I miss understood and thought that you say... stay over and hug with the friends wife, you know like consolation:confused: I know its not funny but I had to tell you..

Whats up with all the New York trips?! Shani and now you! Of course yours is a work trip, very interesting about interviewing college students, have fun!!
Day #5.. I thought that Brandy was gonna quit on me, she came to me this morning and asked me to go to the gym instead, but no she did workout with me again, I seriously thought I was gonna die,(exaggeration of mine) so hard but I we did it and felt so good afterwords, so bad that next week its going to be pretty hard to get a WO done, maybe not for me because I can always get up early, and do it but I don't think she would like to do it.
Well have a good day everyone, ITTYL ;):D:p:)
 
!

Janie Thanks for the link. I checked out the Bermuda triangle and it looks like I have flown over it a few times. I have been to San Juan a few times and it looks like we have to fly right through it to get there from here. Myabe that was why we had such bad turbulence for the entire flight the last time I went there! I will definitely get you some pink sand when I go to Bermuda. My DH brought a bottle back for me when he went. he brought me some really nice pottery too. I am really looking forward to trying these insanity workouts. It's always fun to get new wos!

Pam I picked up my Insanity this morning! It's not even out of the shrink wrap. I can't wait to try it out, but I will probably finish this rotation first and then perhaps take a rest week to let some of my aching parts feel better! Yes sometimes it is really nice to pretend you are punching someone in your wos! Right now for me it's a guy at work that is really driving me crazy! Maybe I need to do a KB WO to get my frustrations with him out! :p
You guys are very very big enablers. I was telling my DH about it last night. He just rolls his eyes.
OK Eunice, no more excuses for you! :D Now I know you will do your WOs every day!
Oh I was so upset when I missed that vacation. I went and got my new passport that day and I have the most pathetic looking picture on it now because I was so sad. I moped around for about a day and then realized I was being a big baby and that it was just a vacation and there are people dealing with really bad things so I needed to snap out of it. So I called my friend and we got together for dinner that night and then went to a concert the next night. At the end of the concert we were dancing and singing on stage with the band, so we did ok ;) But no, staying over with her! That's funny!
Good for you for making Brandy stick with it on day 5 and for her doing it!!! You are worrying me though talking about how hard the warm up is! We are really going to miss you when you aren't checking in with us :( I definitely will be looking forward to hearing about your new adventures in Australia though!

I messed up a little this morning because I thought I was supposed to do Body max, and then when I went to mark it complete in the workout manager I saw that I was supposed to do Bootcamp. Oh well, I'll do BC next Saturday I guess. Oh no I won't, we're going to the beach! :) This morining I got up, went to the grocery store, went to Bruegger's and picked up bagels, went and picked up my insanity dvds and then came home and did Body max Whew! I only did the step and the intervals and then abs because I didn't feel like doing all the weight work. Last year I never did weights on days when I skiied since my upper body gets a lot when I ski, so that was my rationalization. Tonight we are going to a concert. Hey - it's the same concert at the same place with the same friends as I was telling you about above where my friend and I were signing and dancing with the band at the end while the Dhs were in Bermuda. What a coincidence! It's Los Lobos and they are playing outside at this little amphitheater at the museum. Should be fun. I'm in charge of dinner before the show, so I need to go work on it. TTYL have a great Saturday!

pam
 
Rainy here so won't be able to take Rolly out for his walk. Poor little guy. Thinking about a cardio today.

Eunice, You must be so excited! Be safe and let us know your every move. I also think Pam will like Insanity. It is so cool!:cool:

Pam, Awe, you saw my post before I decided to delete it. I thought I was being a bit forward to ask for pink sand. That is so sweet of you. Let me know when you get home and I'll pay you for the expenses, of course.

You are going to :confused:love/hate the Insanity workouts. Just remember, you grow into them, don't expect to be able to do them first time around.

Hey don't worry abut messing up for pete sake, you did a workout, BM is a great workout. It's OK. lol Just think of it as switching workouts except you'll be playing on the beach. Same thing.:rolleyes: Oh, I see you did BM today. Wow! Steps and intervals and abs are good. Skiing will take care of the rest. Enjoy! Great rationalization. What kind of dinner are you preparing? Have fun at the concert.

Janie Sorry you weren't able to get Rolly out for his walk yesterday, I bet you both missed it. Hopefully it is nicer there today. We are back to upper 90's and 100's for the week with no rain in sight :rolleyes: I am excited about the Insanity workouts, but also kind've scared :confused: They do sound like they are crazy hard!
I didn't find your pink sand request forward. And I love the idea of swapping for some of your starter!
Last night's dinner was shrimp and scallop ceviche, filet mignon with rajas, hand-mashed pinto beans with cheese, classic red rice and sauteed zucchini and squash. I was looking for a litle fat face to put beside that but there isn't one! After the show we came back and had cheesecake brownies. More oink!
The show was really fun! We were right at the front the whole time. They didn't let anyone get on the stage with the band like they usually do, but we were close enough. So I got a little more workout in yesterday with skiing and then dancing at the show.
This morning I did Core Max 3 and then an extended stretch. I like the abs/stretch combo on Sundays. :) I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Was able to walk with Rolly today. Went out for about an hour and a half. He enjoyed that a lot! Was very thirsty when we got home. Next time will bring water with me.

Pam, Don't be scared of Insanity, you'll find them challenging is all. Also can be mixed with rotations. I think once you get used to them that they have a place in your workout routines.

If you pm me your address, I'll get right on the swapping and send you (tomorrow) some dried starter from here in my own back yard (a nice strong starter called Little Island Lake). I'll also send you directions on how to reconstitute it, and a place on the internet where you can find recipes for wild yeast sourdough making. I'm so excited!

I'm thinking abut making jewelry out of the pink sand. Haven't figured it all out yet, but have lots of time to come up with something. Once I do, will show off with pictures. Yea!

You had a feast last night! Sounds so yummy. Every now and then I love to divulge in an Oink meal too. LOL:confused:

I love to dance! How fun to be able to dance at the show.

Great job on Core Max 3 and the stretch. Joey and I did one an extended stretch yesterday. It was heaven.

Have a wonderful day.

Well I tried to post on Friday but I made a mistake of taking my laptop outside to do it but all of the neighbours were out so I gave up and visited instead. Saturday morning I did MMA Kickbox. It felt really good to workout again. Saturday night I went to see Cirque Du Soleil's Kooza that is here in Vancouver with my brother (DH didn't want to go). It was the third Cirque show that I have seen, and it was just as good as the others. We had the 4th row from the stage (we usually get the 1st or 2nd row but my brother forgot to order the tickets in time). It was still really close though, you really get to see their facial expressions. This morning I was going to do some weight work but I didn't get to bed until 12:30 and Taylis decided that 5:30 was a good time to wake me up by turning on that darn touch lamp with his nose :mad:(I really have to change that light). Anyway I was a little tired so all I did was some yoga.

Janie It is too hard to workout when it is too hot and not having a/c. Since it has cooled down it has been easier to sleep but it sounds like it will get hot again around Wednesday.

Pam Well it really rained here yesterday. It did help the forest fires and it helped cool things down around here. The heat does make me feel like a slug that's for sure.
Oh man that sucks to find out that your passport had expired and you couldn't go. I guess it was good he could get one of his buddies to go on such short notice. Well at least you are prepared this time. Pink Beaches that sounds interesting. I don't think I have heard of Pink beaches. You are going to have to take a lot of pictures.
If you were tired Hiit DWP would be hard. It is one of the easier ones but not when your are tired. Lucky you going to New York. That will be a nice change of pace to be interviewing students.

Eunice We may eventually get a portable a/c unit, but since we really only need it for about 1 month a year it doesn't make sense to really invest a lot of money in it. Maybe one day I will get insanity since I see Pam has just got it and Janie has it as well. When I decide I will look at Craig's list as well since you can find some really good deals.

Kelly and Shani hope you both had a great weekend.

Have a great Monday everyone.

Cheryl, Great job on your workout and yoga. OOOOOOOOh, Cirque Du Soleil's Kooza. Lucky you! I've seen about 3 also, and I agree every one of them were very well done.

I understand it will get pretty warm later this week. Please try to stay cool. Without air conditioning, maybe you can use fans. That's what we do, we also don't have AC.

Hows everyone else doing?

Take care,

Janie
