No One Hates Cardio More than Diane, 10/20

[Miss Lee]

Good morning!

Wow, I overslept again. I guess I'm compensating for the lack of sleep last week. DH called this morning to report his first talk went over very well. He said he felt like he was giving a talk at the UN because they used translators and everyone had to wear the headphone thingies. He said it's very hectic--the meeting is pretty intense, but he's enjoying himself nontheless.

My best friend called this morning and we're getting together for lunch.

Please don't ask me if I've worked out. I haven't AT ALL since a week ago Monday;( . At this point, I'm delaying my restart until next Monday, although I might try take a little ride on Eli in the meantime.

Have any of you seen the extended clip of Drill Max on the new Cathe Player? all I can say is ;( ;( ;( ;(

I need to go for now but I'll check back later.

August, Diane, Kate, Janjan, Ellen--:* :* :* :* :*

ETA Kate, I've never been to Glacier National Park. Have you checked out travel books? They might have some good ideas on how to plan a trip there.

Good whatevertimeof day!

Ooh, fun! Out to lunch with your friend! What did you have? What did you have?

Haha, well, Monday sounds like a good time to start up again, Michele. Allow yourself to par-tay a bit! }( Sounds like your DH's seminars are going well. How cool for everyone to be having their little headsets on listening to the translation! I've had experiences using translators and when it's..urgh, the word is slipping my mind...when you're speaking and it's being translated at the same time...anyway, when you got that going on, you get so wound up trying not to listen to the translator, that you have no idea what the heck you yourself are trying to say! :+ It can be very confusing!

Heck no, I have not seen the clip of Drill Max. I'm far too busy with my new research project - TLT! And you can just imagine my surprise to find so many threads about TLT from Michele and Kate! (Back in the day when Kate had a cyber life .) And you can just imagine my complete delight on finding a month rotation with the TLTs, Cathe and Christi! How could it be any better?! And Michele, you're talking about the Core TLT made me wish I'd gotten it. I got the other three. Haven't tried them yet, but plan on doing the rotation I'm thinking from next month (even though I'd planned next month's rotation to be a circuit one :* ). I still need to get the weighted balls and paper plates.

And of course in researching the TLTs, I researched the TLT site, and now I'm trying out a new experiment : no grains. Yup. I'm going to see if this will get the L out of my BOAT. So I had cottage cheese and a grapefruit for breakfast instead of my usual oats. It was actually really good. I read that if you don't eat grains, then you should take a vitamin B supplement...so I guess I should look into one.

There's frost on Barley Mountain but I'm sure I'll climb there again after my 2-week experiment. Of course I just bought three packages of raw barley, and also a HUMONGO box of Quaker Oats... Well, we'll see how it goes.


Anyway, today was Christi and tomorrow is....oh. Tomorrow is FItprime Metaboost. I've never done it before. Wish me luck.

All right. A little more reading and then it's off to bed for me. I ended up not being able to sleep until 4am last night, even though my computer was off. :-( Whacha gonna do?

Hi Ladies - sorry I am checking in so late in the day, I was quite distracted.

I went for a 30 min run/walk last night after work. It has been cooling down in Houston and it felt so nice outside I just had to get out there.

August - I got Fitprime Metaboost thing from Netflix a while back and so pissed to find that it was the exact same workout as From the Ground Up, just redone in a different setting. How dumb is that? Would it have been so hard for them to make up a different routine instead of doing the same one over again? It also made me realize how scripted the Fitprime/Firm workouts are. Heidi Tanner literally said the same exact words during the whole thing, word for word the same, just in a different studio made a couple years later. How freaky is that?

Hey Diane! Check your yahoo email. I just sent you something!

 

[August]

Diane - OMG, you've GOT to be kidding!! WTF?! How infuriating! How on earth could that production think to make the same workout in a different studio...even with the same scripted comments?! That is TOTALLY weird! You'd think the instructor would feel funky about doing that, I mean, obviously there are going to be people who liked the instructor so much that they'd want to get another of her workouts! Weird!!

I have never tried any Firm workouts and don't know anything about them or the instructors. I've seen clips of them on Collage, but they just didn't click with me.

Well, I'm digesting now (this morning was a berry smoothie...geez, you know, wanting to eat something sweet in the morning that doesn't have grains is kind of difficult!)...so I'll be able to give my report on From the FItGround Metaboost LOL in a couple hours.
