Heh heh..I'm up after midnight again, ladies so I figured I'd start us off! ;)

Today will be circuit w/o, x-tra cardio and maybe abs, maybe not...I am taking a new approach on the ab work. Instead of doing them for 10 mins 5-6 times per week, I am going to do them for 20 mins 3x per week. I have done them 2x this week already so if I dont do them today I still have friday! I think this will work out much better for me time-wise AND it will make Coremax come in VERY handy as well! :)

Well, with that, I think I will give sleeping another try...my eyes are feeling tired now. Wish me luck!

Good Night!:)
 
Good Morning Gals,

I hope everyone slept better then me!;( What an awful nights sleep.I knew I would have no problem getting up to exercise b/c I had been awake most of the night anyway.I thought about getting up at 4, then I thought that would be to rediculous.Just as I started to doze off (the t.v was on) something gross came on.Something to do with 25 sheep being viciously killed.So I thought about the troture those sheep must have went through before they died and then I started dreaming about things that were bothering me all day/

ANYWAY...the night is over and I am pretty sure that tonight won't be like last night.I am usually I WONDERFUL sleeper:)

I did a 50 min run last night and thats it.I was suppose to do a total body workout but my bum was to sore and I was to sleepy:eek:

I just want to do some cardio before I go to work.Its hard to follow a rotation when I am on a time frame.I will all day and then I have a baby shower tonight...which I don't have a gift for yet.It wouldn't take much for me to stay home.

Terri- I didn't read through many of the post yesterday but I read through the ones you hadn't written.I hope everything is o.k.I know that they waiting is the longest part b/c you don't know what you have to face.I would be so scared if I were her.

I must get ready to workout.I will check the forum when I get to work:)

Good Morning Fitness Friends,

First of all, I am saying prayers for you son and his gf Terri and yes, please do share my story!!! You raised a strong , kind, and caring son Terri and you should be proud of him (I know you are) and yourself!!
Keep us posted.
Can I add something? I wasn't clear on the tumors on her neck? But when my dr. found a lump in my neck, the first assumption was I was getting a goiter (look it up under thyroid), and they are common and non threatning. But I WAS told , that at least with thyroid tumors, that when you have multiple ones, it is much less likely to be cancerous. So, fingers are crossed and prayers being said.

Lori, sorry about your bad nights sleep.x( I often deal with insomnia and it's awful. It really can affect y our workout , and whole day! Good luck staying awake at work!!

This morning I will do Lowmax and something else....what? abs.....stretch? I'll have to check the rotation. I think my abs have seen the biggest strength gains in this rotation. I normally don't remember to work them all that often, and I haven't had to worry about that this month!!!!!:eek:

Anyone watch LOST? I thought it was a fantastic season premiere last night! wow!
Well, I'll be working out at 7. Right now, I gotta make sure dd gets out the door for school and dh gets off to work!
I'm chatty this morning, aren't I?
ha!
HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE!
:D
 
Terri - I'm so sorry about your son's gf. I second all that Wendy said. I am exposed to cancer cases in my work and there are lots and lots of success stories. Keep us informed okay.

Kali - I'm here. You sound like this is something you've soul searched about. If it isn't working, keeping it together for the kid's sake rarely has a good outcome of anyone involved. I speak from experience from my own family life growing up, as we've touched on through e-mails. You'll be fine. I'm sure it isn't going to be easy but your kids will adjust, they are young and I know you and your husband both love them dearly. That will get them through. Anything time you need to talk... just let me know.

Kim - I hope you get your bike this weekend and one that you like. That will make it so much easier for you to get your cardio in.

Wendy - I hope you got some sleep. Good job on the workout. You are coming back strong!!! What's for breakfast for this morning?:+ Hopefully your leftovers will be gone soon!! It sounds like you balanced everything out well yesterday.

Lori - I'm sorry you couldn't sleep, I have that problem sometimes and it isn't fun.

Becky/Kali - LowMax and CM#1. I get on it after I get off work. SJP was a lot of fun yesterday, let me tell you, I was sweating!!

Talk to all of you later. Have a wonderful day.
 
Becky - we were posting at the same time... CM#1 is with LowMax today.

Also, I wanted to let you and Kali know what I'm planning for the next two days since I don't have these workouts. for PS - Legs and Abs I am subbing PLB and Ab Hits #11 (which is the ab work off PS/L&A).

For the new DVD premix on Sat I am subbing a LowMax premix and PLB stability ball portion only, then of course do the KPC abs.
 
Jane,
It sounds like a good plan you have for subbing! Great job.;-)
Thanks for telling me it is CM#1 .

And yes, I was sweating too yesterday doing SJ&P! When I was doing the squats with the barbell I felt something and thought it was a hair driving me crazy, sort of itching one arm (starting at the elbow, working it's way down). I tried to ignore it, then it started on the other side........finally when I put the barbell down, I watched the sweat drops fall off my arms!!!!!!! THATS never happened before! :p

I love lowmax, so am looking forward to this morning's workout.:)
 
Good Morning Ladies

I cannot believe I am up at 4:30 a.m. I am a night owl and was up until midnight last night. I like to sleep until 6.

Thank You all for your kind words and support and prayers for my son and his gf. I will pass on all the positive things that you have shared with me. My son will be thrilled to hear all the positive stoies you have shared! He of course knows abou tthe forums and cathe workouts since I talk about it all the time.:) When he called me last night to say he would be in Denver and would I like to meet up for dinner the first thing he said was "I know you are probably lifting weights but can you meet me for dinner?" See even he knows my workout schedule!
Thank you again ladies for being supportive!

Today is legs and glutes and a run. I will do some abs as well.

Lori-Sorry to hear you couldn't sleep well.
Kali-Let us know how your appointment goes today.
Jane and Becky-Lowmax is such a great workout and one of my favorites.
Wendy-I hope you are sleeping in today:)
Kim-I hope you find a bike you want soon

Ok I will check back in again soon

Terri
 
Good Morning Beautiful Women,

Lori,

You sound like me. That is what happening to me last night. I didn't sleep much either. DD was watching "Under World" with friend last night. The head vampire had been brought back from centuries of sleep and looked scaly. I kept thinking about his skin...how bad and wrinkled it looked. I have just been getting over a bit of excema myself and dreamed that my skin was just falling off. Talk about a nightmare!

Terri,

I am going to go for a very long walk today...maybe 4 hours. I will be thinking of you. I read the post from yesterday this morning. Prayers being sent your way.

Jane,

I can't wait to start baking some apples. Hope your workout goes great and you get plenty of DOMS next day!

Becky,

Low Max is great, have you ever tried the extended version yet?

Wendy,

Are you over your cold yet? Sounds like it. I love seeing your weight chart...seeing the weight dropping all the time. That is so motivating to see you getting closer to your goal.

Kali,


Wishing you plenty of sunshine and cool breezes this morning. Been so dry here that the leaves have already started to change. Time for me to get up on that mountain behind me.

Good Morning to anyone else I might have missed

Charlotte~~
 
Hey ladies,

Well I'm going to post my measurements today. I did it about a month ago, but I am starting totally fresh today. I will either re-check in two or four weeks. And yes I hope to get a bike this weekend. DH and I are planning to go hunting tonight after he takes me to the Olive Garden. I love that place.


Chest- 36
biceps- 11 1/2
waist- 30
hips- 38 1/2
thighs- 22 1/2
calves-(right)13 1/2 (left)14 1/2

Okay ladies I can stick with this. At least I'm going to give it my best shot.


Hello Jane, terri,kali,wendy,lori, becky, Debbie,charlotte, nancy. Oh I hope I got everyone!

Hi Girls,

I am at work now and probably not in a much better mood then I was yesterday.Sometimes I wonder if I am turning into a bi&ch? I can't tolerate some people sometimes.Remember my co-worker? I am always,ALWAYS, early for work.So today I needed to get my coffee on the way but didn't have any money so I ran back into the house and found every dime and nickel known to man.So I was running a little behind.But when I got here, the girl I was releaving was leaving so I chatted with her for a sec and then came in.
He waits here for me.He doesn't go out into his own place like all the other guys.As soon as I came through the door, its not "good morning", its "oh,got stuck in traffic,did ya?" I live in a small town where there is no traffic:)He is just being sarcastic.
That attitude first thing in the morning just ircks me.And its not like I am ever late.There are just days that he DRIVES me CRAZY!He can be good and I do beleive that he is a nice man but why the attitude? Why do you need to hang around here so much? Why do you need to talk alllllllllllll day long?

Im whining again...o.k, I promise, here is my old facex( and here is my new face:7

I managed to do 4 out of the 5 seg of HST.It was a good workout.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Thank you charlotte. 4 hours up the mountain today? WOW!

I think Marie decided the check in here had become to big and she said she couldn't keep track of everyone so she wished us all luck but wouldn't be checking in anymore. She is still on the forums though if you want to say hi :)

Terri
 
Good morning my Fit Friends!

Marie is very busy with her new position and doesn't have a lot of time to read and respond to the posts anymore. But she does check on us from time to time. :)

Terri, I will be praying for your DS's GF. Please tell them to have faith and believe everything will be okay. Remember if God leads you to it, He'll get you thru it. I firmly believe that. (((Hugs))) for all of you.

Charlotte, thank you for your wish. That made me smile. ;-)

Wendy, hope you got to sleep since you weren't up posting all night I'm assuming you did. Is that salad gone yet?? I'm tempted to buy some later. You're killing me here! x(

Jane and Becky have fun with Lowmax. I am done. I got up early to get it all out of the way. I haven't done Coremax in a few days so I really felt it today. That was a thorough workout ladies. Good luck.
And thank you. Again. ALL OF YOU! :)

Kim, I hope you get your bike soon. I know that will make you feel better once you can start getting that cardio in again.

Hi Lori! Have a good day and I hope you sleep better tonight!

Good morning Nancy, Jessica, Debbie and Shannon. Have a good day.

How's the whitening going Nancy? Are you surviving? ;)

Well I better start getting ready for this appointment. I'll talk to you all when I get back.

Kali
 
good morning all! Wow, it has been busy on this thread already :) I was up at 6:30am with my son, so not too shabby a night's sleep. He doesn't usually get up earlier than that anymore.

Well, I'm tired from yesterday's interval sprints so rest for me. Probably will take it easy until the gym over the weekend. I want to give my muscles some R&R.

Playgroup for us at 10:30am today. Hopefully Boybie will hold out napwise so he can see his friends. That usually gives way to a great nap afterwards.

Great workouts as usual everyone. Have a fantastic day. It is beautiful here in NY!


"you miss 100% of the shots you never take"

Kali,
Good going, getting your workout in so early! Mine is under my belt now too! and you are sure right.....that was a good thorough workout!

Now onto my question. If you are happy with your workout shoes, can you PLEASE tell me what you use for Cathe workouts?
The ones I have now are HORRIBLE......it's official today, I HATE THEM and won't wear them anymore! I have multiple complaints about them and I think I just got a lemon pair because alot of ppl raved about these....they are the ryka rhythms....but mine are BAD.
First of all I can't seem to tie them tight enough. They loosen up during the workout and especially my right foot seems to slide....(yes they are the right size) it's very uncomfortable, especially doing alot of lateral moves like are in Lowmax. So, I've tied them very very tight and then my feet start feeling like they are falling asleep, pins & needles, etc... The last week my heels have been hurting once I take off my shoes and walk around barefoot.And sometimes I have pain in the balls of my feet during high intensity workouts. I've never had any problems before with foot pain, etc.. I really think I don't have the right shoe at all for me. I'm going to go TODAY to get a new pair.....what am I looking for? Aerobic shoes? Studio shoes? Cross trainers?? I don't care what brand anymore or how they look....does anyone have a suggestion. I've had it with my #@!*&#! shoes! ackx( (can you tell?) ha!
 
WOW! Lots goin' on here all before 9 am, huh? :+

I slept a little later today as I don't think I actually fell asleep for the night until about 2 am. UGH! x(

Looks like I have kicked that nasty cold right out the old door! YEAY! :7

I am trying to decide what kind of circuit w/o to do...I could go on the lighter side with Body Fusion or C&W OR I can kick it up many notches with Body Max, Boot Camp or a Terminator w/o! Decisions decisions! What's a girl to do!? :eek: Any suggestions?

Debbie-Have fun at play group! I look forward to being able to do things like that with Joey!:+

Charlotte-As you just read, yes, the cold is gone! YEAY! :7 Thanks about the weight loss thing. I am sooo happy that it's finally coming off! If I lived close to Sarah I'd go to her house and give her a great big hug! LOL It's her that I have to thank! Kali too as she pushed me to ask Sarah for help! :)

Terri/Lori-Seems that trouble sleeping was quite popular last night, ey? lol We are ALL going to be tired tonight!

Lori-That thing about the sheep is gonna run through my mind all day today now and I didn't even see the program! :eek: I can't watch anything with violence in it anymore...it just urks me to no end. I don't even like films with a lot of cursing in them these day. Is it motherhood that has changed me??? I wonder b/c I noticed how turned off I get when DH has these kinds of movies on since Joey was born! Interesting!

Kali-Now that gas prices are creeping down a bit we should think about trying to meet. What do you think?

Kim-I have not been to Olive Garden in ages but it is AWESOME! Enjoy it! Now I just might have to pick a "cheat day" and get DH to take me there! I don't know if there's one local but I know there's one up by my mom so we can go there if nothing else!:)

Jane-Do you find that you can get emotionally affected by some of the things you have to transcribe? I think I could be filled with emotions depending on what I was working on! I'm a sap!:)

Hello to anyone I have missed! :)
 
Wendy-I know what you mean. I can't watch any movies with child napping involved.I won't sleep OR I will have to get up in the middle of the night and keep checking on my daugther.
The program was disturbing and the deaths were not peaceful.I think there were 25 of them. Whoever did it could face up to 5 yrs in prison.I don't think they will ever find who did it though. I think they deserve one year per sheep!

Anyway, my day is going o.k. The thread I started about "how stupid is this" as taken a turn for the worse.I hate it when people read way to much into to stuff.I would never put my animals in danger.I wish things didn't bother me so much.But you know what, these people with the comments don't know me so why should I care.I know who I am.
Lori:)
 
Lori,

Did you read my Fireman post? Same thing happened there too. It is just a few on this forum. One start and soon the rest follow. Kind of amusing if you ask me. Don't let it get to you.

Charlotte~~
 
Thanks Charlotte. I found the post and read through it.Its was just as well if you had said that yourself b/c you got into enough trouble for it. I am happy to see that you tried to make light of it until you couldn't anymore.There will always be different opinions around here and who says whose right and who is wrong.One of your "thoughtful friendly posters" was also one of mine...how odd!
Lori :)
 
Lori,

In trouble for it? Nah, I'm a big girl...that ain't gonna happen. LOL! Sometimes I am not too choosy about my words either. It is what it is, but I try not to offend, it will happen though even if I post something about the tooth fairy. LOL!
Well I shouldn't be surprised then of your friendly post response, now should I? Your just down to earth and seem pretty logical and got a feel from where I was coming from.

Charlotte~~
