I'm back....
Good Morning again,
I did an I-Tread this morning ( #13, 30 minute all sprints)… my HRM crapped out at the 17 minute mark…I hope it is only the battery…I had it on yesterday doing the new KB Lauren DVD, and banged it a couple of times with the KB on those “cleans”…mine aren’t so clean!
No one posted here yesterday? That must be a first! ..unless it was lost down below this one for some reason…now that I have read some more posts, it looks like we just continued on Saturdays…okie dokie!
Kristi:
You are one amazing family, with all you do for others!
Tneah:
Glad you made it back safely…
Shelly:
What beach did you go to? I used to love going to Crystal Beach when the amusement park was really big in the 60’s… now I am showing my age! I was always afraid of Sherkston ( sp?) because I can’;t swim and it was supposedly bottomless! Yikes!
Hi to all that are MIA!

Good morning Deb.
How did you like Lauren's DVD? I hope you liked it as much as I have been playing it up. I just got done doing it. Those last two rounds just kill me. I don't think my heart rate ever goes down.
I am going to do a test run on the packing tonight to see if I can get by with just a carry on. We'll see.
Anyway hello to all who follow and I will BBL after work.

Morning all.
Up bright and early here, even though I don't have to be. Isn't that always the way?
Deb - we just went to Christie Lake, which is a big park near us that has a lake with a beach where you can swim. The girls spent most of the afternoon in the water. I'm not much of a water baby, so I lay like a lump. Did you order any CCs?
Peggie - good luck with the packing. I'm not going to check out Lauren's DVD because I know I'll want it
Not sure what's up today. It looks to be the only decent day this week, so I imagine we'll try to be outside for as much of it as we can. Then the rain starts. *sigh*
I'll try to check back later. Oh, workout today will be B&G Leg Blast and abs.

Hi, all you lovely melters...
Deb - like you, I didn't sign in all weekend either. I hope you got all your yard work done.
Peggie - what are you packing for? The RT? Whoohooo!
Shelley - I'm glad you got some sunshine this weekend. I'll keep hoping that the weather guys are wrong about this week! If not, do you have some fun shopping plans or anything that you can do inside? If I was there, I'd make you take us to the farmer's market.
In case anybody is wondering, my new car is just the cutest thing there ever was! We had to wait about 40 minutes for them to get it ready Friday. I was worried I'd get stuck right in rush hour traffic, but for some reason it was very light. That made me quite happy, let me tell ya. The drive in was just wonderful. And oh, it's such a pretty color of blue! Almost a periwinkle!
Okay. Enough of that, right?
My weekend was mostly spent indoors. Holy cow, was it hot! I did finally get some work done on that watercolor. And now my sis wants me to do one of her two youngest. We'll see... I'm not very good at doing people.
I'm doing the 4DS this week. Oh boy is that a hard week for me. Yesterday I did HIS, along with an hour walk early in the morning, just because I wanted to get outside. Today I'll do LIS, but I'm going to do a half hour of CC (don't know which one yet) for the cardio because I really don't like the LIS cardio at all.
Hi to everyone else - I'll BBL!

Hi everyone. I’m having another sleepy morning. I’ve been up for a couple hours but not moving quickly. I keep blinking my eyes like I just woke up. I need to write down some more of my dreams on my dream blog. Yesterday I took a nap and dreamed I overthrew an evil king (in medieval times) to take power myself. Then last night it’s vague but I seemed to be escaping from Vatican City with the Swiss Guard and lots of Cardinals after me. Huh, not sure where these thoughts come from.
I meant to get back online this weekend but I kept busy (though part of what I was busy doing was napping). Yesterday DH and I played tennis, which was a good workout even though we both suck at it. There’s a tennis court in the park across the street, and we finally bought ourselves new cheap tennis rackets so we can play. Neither of us had played in years.
Anyway, I was going to run some errands today (want more socks and a couple more sports bras for the RT) but the boys were reluctant to leave the house (they’re such little homebodies), so I decided to wait. I have a doctor’s apptmnt tomorrow and will likely have to go to Target for my prescription afterwards, anyway. Yay, Target run!
So now I’m trying to get up the energy and motivation for today’s planned workout: Boot Camp. Yikes. I’ve never done it but I’m askeered. I hate BC workouts in general, but feel I need some practice pre-RT.
Deb, I had that issue with KB workouts—banging into my HRM watch. I also bought myself some little wrist sweatbands to soften the blows.
Peggie, now with all the KB talk I’m considering a KB workout instead of BC. Hmm….
Shelley, I was up bright and early without having to be, too. In my case, it’s just that the kids were so loud in their room (well, Ewan was—he takes after my high volume family more than I do).
Shannon, I’m so happy you got your car and it’s so great! There’s nothing like a new car and it’s new car smell! It’ll probably be forever until I get another new car, though, since I’ve put less than 7,000 miles on mine in almost 2 years
OK, hope to BBL.
Anyone have advice on my workout today? Kettlebells or the original Boot Camp?

Good morning all,
I dragged the fam. out of bed this morning for a 1 mile walk -- it's going to be hard to get the girls conditioned enough to go 6 by Aug. 31!
After I take them to driver's ed at 9:00, I'll come home and do 4DS Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. After I pick them up, we are going to Target. This afternoon, I'll do Low Impact Step with one DD so she can catch up with the other on the learning curve. Then they are both planning to do Total Body Sculpting. We only have 2 stability balls, so I'll just coach.
Deb - big bummer on the HRM! Don't hurt yourself with the KBs.
Peg - good luck on the packing -- I really relied on the list they sent us and the itinerary. I ended up with just a little too much -- like one casual outfit too many.
Shelley - take a nap -- it's your vacay!!!
Shannon -- yippee skippee on the car!!!! the color sounds awesome, too.
Lainie -- did you hear -- I'm going to Target today! I'll think of you. Is yours a regular Target or a Super Target with groceries. I have both within about 5-6 miles. I like the Super, but I'm not terribly familiar with it, so it takes me forever if I decide to buy any groceries there. Boot Camp is awesome -- I love it! It's one of the first ones I did on FitTV. The Boot Camp class at RT is amazing!!!! But actually all the classes at RT are!
A boisterous "GOOD MONDAY MORNING!!!" to all who follow!

Good morning.
Can someone please come wake me up? I'm so tired I don't think I can stay here at work. I'm not even kidding you. I've already fallen asleep at my desk twice.
I had a so-so weekend. It was kind of weird, actually. Did I mention I'm so tired I can't see straight?.....
I'll be back later.

*screams in Allisons ear* "Wake up cutie!" Here's some java sweets, hope it helps.
Morning All!
Thank goodness our group is trickling back from the weekend, it was soo quiet round here it was kinda strange.
Shelley, ouch on the Leg Blast--have fun with that. I swear, you and your painful leg workouts. *crosses fingers and toes* here's to sunny weather all week long, those weather people get it wrong sometimes!
Deb, we missed ya this weekend, sorry about your HRM. I wear my lifting gloves and sneaks when I do KB cause it hurts otherwise, I already have enough callouses on my hands from weights. How are the "K's" doing?
Shannon, missed you too darlin! Yeah for pretty colored cars that smell good! So glad you are enjoying it, I saw on the news how terribly hot it is where you live! OMG, and I was complaining!
Lainie, you have the most colorful dreams, you should turn them into a "Harry Potter" type series of books, that could later be turned into blockbuster movies, then we could muse that we knew Lainie when she was just blogging about her dreams! That would be cool.
Kristi, good job on the packing, I cannot pack, it is too hard to predict what the heck you will want to wear days from now. So cute you are coaching your gals,,okay, you and I are "on the wagon" and watching our intake right?It'll be fun!
Pegsters, I did Lauren's 40 minute workout plus the warm-up last night, it was good, I appreciated the 1 minute rests! I do think that the Hardcore Extreme workout with Mr. Sand Dunes is tougher, but maybe its because there are no rests at all! But the combination of both Lauren and Sand Dunes makes a perfect combo KB workout, will be doing just KB this week with a leg workout thrown in for good measure! Thanks so much for talking about this workout, its worth it for sure!
Today is an itrain..I did CC3 yesterday, I admit, I am getting kinda hooked on Sean, especially when I do the elliptical, I can see how these workouts would also work on my spin bike too. Anyhow, an itrain this morning, and then since I did KB yesterday, probably abs and calves.
BBL to see if the rest of you lovelies have checked in yet!

Hi there...
Sigh. It looks like it's going to be a slow day at work. I hope you all are in a talkative mood.
Lanie - OMG, less than 7,000 miles in two years? Good grief woman, I put that much on my car in oh.... 3.5 months. No kidding. Maybe less. I'm glad you got some napping in this weekend. Does it help, or do you wake up still super tired?
Kristi - you sure know how to pack a lot of workouts into one day! Wow. Keeps you busy, huh? Good luck with that driver's ed...Oh my. Your screechy wakeup call takes me back to the good old days when my mom used to do that to me!
Allie - you and Lanie need to get together and find a cure for fatigue. You could be rich. And awake.
Tneah - are you kidding me? It's hotter in Arkansas than in the Nevada desert? Or are you talking about SD? I'm so happy that Coach Sean has lured you in too!
Now then... I need to find something to do... I've already sent out all my reminders to people who owe me stuff, and requests for planning meetings for a couple of newsletters. So now I wait until they respond. Sigh. I guess I should call my insurance company and get things moving there for the new car. Aha. Something to do!

Shannon -- sorry it's slow; that's a frustrating way to start the week. I really only do my "real" workout and then whatever the girls want to do. If it takes multiple workouts in order to motivate them, then I'm all for it. I consider what I do with them a bonus. I worked out some when I was a senior in high school, but not for very long and not very consisistently. Then I didn't really get serious about fitness until I was in my early 30's -- in 1999 when I went to a job that had a small onsite workout room. I've been very committed ever since. I've always battled a body image honed by my DF's comments all my life about me being chubby. I say all of that to say this -- if I can instill a love (or at least an appreciation) for fitness in my girls now, I think it would be great!!! (sorry to drone on, but at least it killed a few minutes of your day )

Kristi - ahh, thank you for giving me a nice, long paragraph to read. I think it's great that you're able to do that for your girls! What do they think? It sounds like they're pretty interested and are enjoying the workouts. I was like you - I never really exercised in high school much at all and never enjoyed sports. I started doing those 20-minute workouts on TV when I was in senior high, but you know those don't really get you in such great shape.
Well, I made the call to the insurance company. Oh yeah, that took all of what - three minutes? Okay... I'm going to try to find something else to do. Wish me luck!

Aw man, Shannon--you and I have the same problem with having nothing to do.
Wow, my Mother just called me. We haven't spoken in exactly 30 days today. Yikes.
I'm so tired that I'm shaking like crazy. What is wrong with me? This is the most tired I've EVER been. Maybe I'm coming down with something.

Thought I would post of picture of really cool boots--expensive boots actually, but really cool. I could see Kate Moss wearing these with her skinny legs...trying to motivate myself to get it goin' this morning, just walked Georgie...its really warm already this morning...
Sorry you are so beat chica (Alli) whats up? Sounds like you might be catching a summer flu or something?
I started working out when I stopped drinking a bottle of Barcadi each day...yeah, I had a drinking issue after I divorced my ex--Satan ( he was physically abusive) years and years ago. I put down the bottle and picked up the weights, the rest is history. I remember watching those 20 minute workouts with those gals in leotards wiggling their rumps at the TV and thinking...really?? This is a workout? Well, maybe for a guy (wink, wink), but there has gotta be something better for women, so I picked up Corey Everson's book about weight training for women and started. I still love that woman to this day.
How come my picture didn't show up like they used to?? I did the exact same thing, copied the image link or whatever, that is strange...paging Lainie bug!

Allie - was the conversation friendly? I hope you and your mom work things out.
Tneah - honey, I could barely get through those 20-minute workouts when I started. Can you even imagine? I always thought Cory had a great physique, even before I was interested in weight lifting. I sure am glad she was there to help you stop drinking! Oh - those boots... ewwwww! They remind me of something some sci-fi robot thing would wear.
Well. It's lunch time. Half the day is over. Thank god.

Good morning, ladies!
I missed you all this weekend! I had a great time at the beading classes, but spent a small fortune on those dang tiny seed beads. This store was fabulous, and had such a wonderful collection -- much better than the main store down here. Now I need to get laundry going and the house cleaned. I just got on-line so I haven't had time to check the weekend posts, but I'll get to them for sure later on so I can see what you wonderful women have been up to!
Shannon -- Hooray for your new car!
Peggie -- DH never picked up Saturday's mail, so I don't know if Lauren's DVD came or not. I'm going to try to do a packing run-through today, too!
Shelley -- Hooray for vacation! I'm sorry that that rain will hit.
Lainie -- How fun to get into tennis! There was a super, duper nice Target across from my motel that I went to twice -- and I kept thinking of you! I'm going to do all Cathe workouts this week to get psyched up for the RT. Want to join me instead of doing KB workout??
Deb -- Sounds like you had a relaxing weekend! How are the K's?
Kristi -- Thanks for the boisterous good morning! I definitely need it! Good luck at driver's ed!
Allie -- I'm passing you some more coffee to help you wake up!
Tneah -- Hey babe! So you got the Lauren workout, too? Sounds like you enjoyed it! Ooooh! Love those boots you posted! They would look fabulous on you!!! I asked Lainie about posting photos from a website, too, and she said to use the photo link at the top of the page.
OK, gotta get started with house stuff, but I'll be back later for sure. Love and hugs to all you gals!! I missed you so much!

Leanne - I'm glad you had so much fun with the beading class! You didn't miss much here - it was pretty slow. I was able to catch up with no problem, even though I didn't visit at all this weekend.
So... I'm still bored, so I've been exploring all the new features on Cathe's site. You know, all the goal setting, workout manager stuff, etc. And guess what? I have no desire to use one little thing. There's a lot of stuff there. A whole lot. A person could literally spend all day here, figuring 1RMs, tracking diet, etc. But to me, it's just another way to obsess about fitness, so that it's no longer healthy! And that's just nuts. Besides, you know me... I'm not about to spend my free time on the computer if I don't have to. But even sitting here at work with nothing to do, I am not in the least bit tempted to start entering anything at all into my workout manager. I've done the diet tracking thing before and it drove me nuts. Okay... climbing off my soap box now...
I think I'll go search for some drought-tolerant flower ideas. It's practically impossible to keep my plants alive in this heat.

Oh my god I'm so sick. I haven't been this sick in a loooong time. I think I'm about to pass out. Or throw up. Or both. I wish I could just go home. I need to sleep so bad. I can't stop shaking. But my sister (aka my boss) is here and she'll kill me if I leave. She's mad at me right now because I didn't help her move into her new house this weekend. I just need to lie down. It's so hard to even type this post right now. I almost wish I would just throw up or pass out so they'd let me go home.
Why am I always sick all the time? I almost have no sick days left.

*WARNING* Completely whiny, self-absorbed, and unapologetic post ahead…
Friday—Developed severe extensor tendinitis in my right foot. Thought it was a stress fracture at first…
Saturday—Hairstylist screwed up cut so badly that I had to get almost all of it cut off, literally. Right now it is shorter that Leanne’s, but tomorrow I am going in to have her cut it into a full-blown pixie. Am avoiding mirrors and will remove all pointy objects from my purse before I see aforementioned stylist tomorrow.
Sunday—Discovered that RT wardrobe will consist of pink skirts of varying shades, WTH??? How did they end up all pink? Do I even like pink? Turn on tv right as Tom Hanks is crash landing in Cast Away. Hate, hate, hate flying.
Monday—TTOM is late (never is) so will have to deal with it on the RT. Yea.
*SHINING LIGHT EMERGES FROM THE GLOOM* The cashier at Whole Foods told me I have arms like…MADONNA! I had to restrain myself from kissing her. I *heart* that cashier. I am so pitiful that when I got out of the store, I cried. How sad. At least I didn’t at the salon…
