NOV. 08 CHECKIN *** Mon. 3rd ***

[ShyWolf]

Good Monday Morning!

Just getting us started once again.

Cardio day for me - more than likely it'll be a TM run.

BTW I hate Halloween candy! Knowing that stuff is in my house is no good. I had two Twix fun size last night ----WHY?!! Ugh! I hate when I lose my self control over that stuff and I did so good the entire day just to fizzle it out on stupid candy! Granted I had the extra points to play with but still. Okay vent over.

Hope you all had a good Sunday and hey where the heck are the missing girls that checkin here? I know that Joanne is busy, Lori is moving but where's Hottie & Randi ?


Whoops gotta get moving.

Hi Vilma, and everyone! We are missing our friends, aren't we? Hope all is well with them.

I know just what you mean about knowing the stuff is in the house. I am terrible with that! The halloween candy is not so tempting for me, mostly because they really didn't get that much and I know they know how much they have so I don't want to take any. They do give me a piece here and there while they're eating it, but they are down to stuff I don't really like, already!

I did an easy kettlebell workout this morning. Vilma, have you ever hurt your fingers? Not blisters, but my pinkies are bruised up and so sore -- it's hard to type even! I feel very lame. I think it was those speed swings that did it, but I'm wondering how I'm going to survive her workout tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a great day -- we are all up early at my house this morning!

-Beth

Hi everyone...

Vilma: I am with you on that candy..I have been staying out of it..Thank goodness. I am hoping I can continue. I did have about 3 pieces on halloween night. That candy was hard to resist!!!

Beth: From yesterday you asked how Lauren singing went...She had the best time and did a wonderful job along with the rest of the choir. She said she couldn't wait until next time. They sing during mass every 3 weeks..

Iris: Was that the original bootcamp? I like that one. It is on this month's rotation too.

Checking in today. I about ready to go get Gym Style legs done and maybe some short cardio thing. We will see how I feel after GS legs. I am usually wiped out after that one. Yesterday I did Gym style back, chest and shoulders and I can feel it today. I did modify when Cathe was on the step on her belly lifting legs up in back. Last time I did that I pulled a muscle in my back and it hurt for almost a week. So, I decided not to risk it and did supermans on the floor the whole time..It worked...

Ok, now time to workout...

Help! I'm in some sort of workout funk! I'm having a really hard time doing anything and deciding what to do if I do it! I started Tracey's Steady State Step Saturday and got frustrated with the choreography. It really wasn't that hard, but I was just tired. I took it out and did some of her hi/lo med ball, which was good. Sunday and today I did nothing! I need to figure out a rotation and just do it! I'm thinking either Cathe's Nov., which I haven't really looked at or a Jari Love rotation. I'm kind of burned out on weights, I think. Oh well, tomorrow's a new day, right? I might try to get something in today.

Iris, wow, where's that rotation you are doing? Bootcamp twice?! Is that the crazy one Cathe made a couple years ago?

Vilma, don't beat yourself up about the candy! It wasn't even equivalent to a full size bar. I know, though, I have four huge bags of candy still sitting on my living room couch. It was beautiful here Friday, in the 70s, so the kids trick or treated for hours. Now they are barely even looking at the candy - I think it's more the thrill of the hunt! Now, me, those bags of chocolate are calling me! UGH!

Oh, my big news is that Caitlyn went back to school today!! It was like the first day of school all over again - I cried! She was pretty excited.

Hey Beth and everyone else that follows! I'm off to look at some rotations!

Today is already looking very busy for me I have tons to do in town as soon as I'm dressed and fed.

I just got out of the shower after my TM run with CCv6 (Candace's version) it's not so bad but Candace just fixates on the word pain so dang much

I think thats why many don't care for her version . Heck Sean doesn't even offer it on his site anymore as I heard he got tons of complaints from the fandom lol It has many sprints which I enjoy and it went by so fast.

It was good though once I blocked out her pain fixations and ran really well; my numbers are just like the numbers I get when I do V5


Beth I don't know what to tell you about your pinkies

I have some rough spots under my pinky you know the soft spot just under the fingers in my palm but not so much that I notice them enough to say hmmmm my hands are rough. Only notice them whem when I really examine my hands.

Then again I'm only using my 8kg at the moment as my 12kg has been on backorder in what seems like forever now lol

What did you do for the kettlebell? A dvd or something Tracey gave you?

Iris Good to see you checkin in with us Wow Bootcamp you sure your not dreaming of bootcamp lol lame joke sorry

Kathy So nice to know Lauren had a great night singing with the choir
Have a good workout w/ GSLegs.

Well not sure if I'll have time to get back online today as I'm booked with tons to do in town - blech


If I don't get back - Have a Marvelous Monday !

Hola!

Today I did BM2 Timesaver Cardio + GSCT Premix Timesaver, and I must say this was a great mix! This was my first time doing GSCT Timesaver premix and even though it’s only 32 mins long it’s a VERY effective workout! I think I will be sore tomorrow! LOL!

Vilma: WTG on your TM run! I know exactly how you feel about the candy! I’m so tired of letting myself loose control on my eating. You do WW?

Beth: WTG with the kettlebell workout today!

Iris: Hey! It’s so good to see you! WTG on your Bootcamp workout! I still haven’t tried that one.

Kathy: Enjoy GSL! I must say that the GS series is AWESOME!!!!

Joanne: I know how you feel. That’s how I felt for about a week or two and I knew that meant I need a rest. Now I’m back on fire! I just bought Tracey’s Steady State Step 3 days ago and I can’t wait to get it and try it! Do you like it? That’s so wonderful that Caitlyn is back in school. I’m glad she is doing much better!

Well, I’m thinking of doing some SweepMax and MopMax. Now it’s time for some lunch!

Do any of you have a Facebook account?

I’ll try to BB later. Have a good day and workouts!

Hi guys -- I hope to put more time on the forums now that I'm back from NJ and I actually got to drop by Cathe's gym to exchange my Imax2 DVD because mine had parts where it skipped! I'm actually going to do Imax2 in the next hour and then write some more. Yep, I do have a facebook acct and I twitter too (but I mostly b*tch and moan). I was actually debating about putting a new avatar up that is a picture of moi for a little bit. I'm feeling overwhelmed because I have a ton of work to do but DH is really sick and I don't want to leave the home yet until he's a bit more stable (I know he's an adult, but seriously, put him at the same level as some of your children because that's how I have to treat it when he's sick). Deep breaths, right?

Hey Everyone!

I'm getting ready to go start GS: Chest, Back & Shoulders. 1st day of Cathe's NOV rotation!

It's been a few months without GS, so I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to try to add a bit more cardio to this month, if at all possible... If I have a spare 20 or so minutes.

Weekend at work was ok, not busy at all! No sad cases. The man I had such a bad time with last weekend is still alive. He's on another unit, but apparently has decided he's not ready to die, and so he's not.

We had another local tragedy in our town (last week it was the boy who accidently shot himself and got killed with an Uzi at a gun show). This weekend, on halloween night, a 9 year old boy and his mom were hit by a speeding car crossing the street, and were killed. The little boy went to Alex & Jake's elementary school . It's very very sad. They're having grief counseling etc at the school today for the kids and staff. I think I need some , I swear!

Okay, off to "pump it up" ....

BBL for personals...

Hey guys, did Imax2. It was good because I didn't work out for so many days between my back and my trip to NJ. It was really funny -- when my father was driving me to the place where I could exchange my Imax2+C&W DVD and all of sudden I was like, oh, its the Four Seasons Gym (which apparently, EVERYONE in my family knew about except for me)...1) it's freaking huge, and 2) its in a strip mall! I mentioned this to my sister and she was like, "Everything in South Jersey is in a strip mall." So true...

Vilma - I heard you all calling me! Good for you for having such a nice run. I am like *this* close to getting Cardio Coach.

Beth - are you in the area that actually might be getting some snow? I read about how the northern part of the state had much cooler temperatures than SoCal and some places actually might be getting snow! I'm sorry your KB workout hurt your pinkies.

Iris - hope you had fun with bootcamp.

Kathy - My husband can't actually do all of GS legs. Without weights! Ohhh, the things that comes out of his mouth when he tries to do that workout. He LOVES the other GS (constantly looking at his evergrowing arms) but he really wants to be able to do GS Legs soon.

Joanne - that's so great for Caitlyn! I need to figure out a rotation too but I'm definitely putting more weights in this month. (I was trying to lose as much weight through cardio before I saw my mother a couple days ago for the last couple weeks).

Ivy - I love BM2. I just love that Chicago cover. It puts me up. But I have a hard tiem with those circuit/intervals after all the step. I'm going to try to work towards it more. I like that premix too for GS CT -- feel the same way.

Chris - I'm so sorry about what happened in your town. I hope you felt better after you work out.

Ok, just want to say this, regardless of your political affiliation -- PLEASE MAKE TIME TO VOTE TOMORROW. Schedule when you're going to do it tonight. It's going to be a historic election regardless who wins and for Beth and me, we have some huge propositions to vote on.

Love you all!

Hey All...

God, once again I'm an emotional mess on a Monday! I just read that Obama's grandmother died today. How very sad in so many ways. It must be so hard for him to do what he has to do tonight with such a heavy heart.

So anyhooooowwww! ... Enough tears already!

I did GS: BACK, SHOULDERS, BICEPS. I don't know why I wrote chest on my previous post. My mind is foggy. It was a toughie, and I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow. I can not believe that Cathe can lift some of the weights she does. She is superwoman, I swear! I added on 20 Minutes of Quick Fix Cardio Kickbox w/ Janice Soffell. I like her! It was easy cardio, but cardio nonetheless!

Vilma: WTG on the CC today AND the KB's! i'm not so sure I'd like someone talking so much about "pain" while I was working out either...

. Yeah, the Halloween candy KILLED me yesterday, but I'm embarassed to say, I didn't just eat "2 Twix fun sizes". You rock for eating ONLY just 2!!!

. I had hubby take all the extras and hide them in the locked basement, only to give to me in extreme emergency...

Beth: Good going on the KB workout today... sorry your pinkies are bruised though! That's a weird place to be bruised!

Ivy: Nice workout today! I like your combination. I thought about doing something like that today, but figured I'd stay to the rotation , for today anyhow. I don't have a facebook acct. I've thought about doing one, but just haven't had the motivation.

Hottie:

for IMAX2 today! Your back is all better then? Sorry hubby is sick. I hate that when I'M sick, I do mostly the same thing of taking care of the family, but when hubby is sick, he's totally out of commission. Grrr!! Men, I tell ya!...Hey , Love your Avatar! Nice to see what a Hottiescientist looks like . You're nothing like I imagined. You look so young, like Ivy!

Kathy: Not looking forward so much to GS LEGS tomorrow! but I hope to do an extra cardio if I'm able ... (it's the stability ball part that makes me sceered!)

My plans for tomorrow are to bring my breads to the school early for the Election Day bake sale and then do my voting while I'm there!

They ended up canceling my 9 year old's parent/teacher conference, so the teachers could go to the little boy's calling hours. I guess the school was a mess today. He was such a popular/fun little boy, everyone knew him.

Ooooh my...

Starting to tear up again! I think I need to get a good night's sleep!
