November 09 Checkin Tuesday 3rd*************

[Kathy36]

Good morning ladies...

Getting us started today...Hubby works at home on Tuesdays. So, I may be MIA..I am going to do Step Heat today and I have to hit the grocery store..Tonight is Chris' championship baseball game. It was rescheduled from last night as the field were in bad condition from the rain over the weekend..

Try to breeze back through here later..

OMG, I just typed out a crapload, and hit some freakin key... BAM!, it went away.

The kids are home today from school (day off for Election Day), so things are a bit more hectic...

And even though the weather is spectacular for a run, I can't go! Instead, I'm going to do BM2 Timesaver Cardio + Abs.

Kathy: Good luck to Chris today and have a great time with STep Heat!

Hottie: Hopefully things work out to re-arrange your workouts this week. I hate when life gets in the way of working out!!

I'm waiting for Alex to be picked up by his friend (for the day!) And then I'll jump into my workout...

Good morning! Kathy, does hubby work at home T & Th? Thought it was Th you were usually MIA! Yes, good luck to Chris on the championship game tonight!!!

Chris, I hate it when that happens to posts -- I hate knowing we missed what you typed, too! Forgot to mention yesterday that it was very cool to see how much your workout yesterday changed your mood around -- so sorry you had such an awful night at work!! Do your kids always get election day off? That seems odd to me. Mine are off next Wed. for veteran's day, and then the following week we have four days when they are out at 12:30 for conferences! Going to be a crazy couple of weeks!

The double wave HIIT sounds good, doesn't it?! Did you guys see the youtube clips of her new step routine (from Daytona)? I'm worried that I won't be able to get the choreography!

I did a bar method (barre) workout this morning. I swear, those barre workouts are so humbling!! Barely moving anything and muscles are cramping! I think I really need to make sure I do one a week so that I get past that cramping thing. When I do it more regularly that doesn't happen.

Larry and I had a giant fight at bedtime last night. Ug. Let's hope today is a better day! We really almost never fight, so that was highly unusual. Everyone in the house was stressed.

Happy Tuesday!

Hi ladies!! I've been missing in action once again!! Anyone miss me??

Halloween was fun. Although I think this is the last year of trick or treating for Jameson. He really wasn't into it too much. It didn't help that he went to a sleep over the night before and was really cranky from little sleep. Ian was hilarious as Michael Jackson. DH took him to a second hand store the day before and found a white leather jacket and some white skinny jeans. I swear he looked just like him. It was a bit scary!! I have a few good pics that I have to get off my camera and I'll post them. We hung out with the neighbors later than night and had some good laughs and margaritas. I needed that! Now we just have way too much candy in the house. Guess who's eating way too much? Yep. Must. Stop.

Beth, I did see those clips of the step workout. It looks fun. A bit more complicated than some of her stuff, but she always breaks stuff down, so I bet it won't be too hard to get. I'm getting excited again for these workouts!! My kids always get election day off. They have off next week for Veteran's Day and then almost the entire week of Thanksgiving for P/T conferences. Although we have ours scheduled for the 10th. What was I thinking scheduling all four for the same evening? Oh well, we'll get them out of the way all at once. Sorry to hear about the fight with Larry. We've all been stressed, too.

Chris, I hate when I lose posts, too. It's always when I've said something brilliant and articulate, too.

Kathy, good luck at the game tonight!!

I started back with CLX this week and did Burn1 yesterday. Today I did Turbo Sport. I think I may just finish out this week of the Burn phase and move into Push next week.

BBL...

Hey Again!

I did BM2 Timesaver Cardio Premix. It was the general step cardio about 6 times, and then the 4 blasts , which kicked my ass! I do love to jump, but seems like I'm so hard on my body when I jump so much. Instead of pulling out Abs Circuit, I just did the abs from BM2.

Beth: OMG, I know the P57 work cramps me up too! It would be good to do at least once a week. You only missed some bitching and moaning in my lost post. No loss! ALL the HiiT stuff sounds so cool. The double wave one sounds intense. I do love that they are *only* 30 minute workouts too. I read your post and then went to youtube to find the SC step videos. They look so fun! I'm sure you/we could get the step sequences. The music sounds very cool too! ..... This is the first year they get Election Day off. I think they're calling it some sort of teacher day. It's a good idea, because there are so many "strangers" wandering around in the school during elections. And YES! this month is FULL of half days/days off and then Thanksgiving Recess. Oh AND parent teacher conferences!!!.... Hope you and Larry kiss and make up today! I hate fighting with Greg. Actually, it's been a good while since we had one. We're just about due! LOL!

Joanne: Missed ya!!! Your Halloween sounds like it was fun . YES! do post pictures if you can! I would love to see MJ!! .... CLX sounds like a good rotation to start up again! Have fun!! (Oh, I did end up ordering Turbo Kick, I think #2 last week! I'm excited to get it soon!!!)

I think after lunch I'll go vote and then take Jake to the park. I have to pick my mom up from her doctor's appt for 2:30. My brother will drop her off. She had catarac surgery yesterday & is going for a follow up today.

Chris, oh, I hope you like the TurboKick workout! I'll feel bad if you don't. If it's like the one I have, you'll love it. I ordered No.1 and 2 during the sale, so I hope I do like them! I'll be able to tell you if No. 2 is similar to No. 3. The cardio on BM2 kills me! That sounds like a good, quick workout. Hope your mom's follow up is good.

I forgot to tell you all that I had my CT scan for my neck thingie Saturday morning. No results yet, though. I thought I'd be in and out of there, but it took about an hour and a half. Just waiting, getting the IV and waiting some more. I was paranoid about having some allergic reaction to the iodine, but I was fine.

I also forgot about after trick or treating. We all got home about 11:00 from the neighbors (kids, too) and we wound up having two kids stay over. One was Ian's friend who came TOT with us and the other was my nephew. The five boys go in Ian and Colin's room and close the door. I go in there and they are all sitting around the edge of the room with all their candy spread out in front of them, sorting it and making trades. It was pretty funny. My nephew wound up with 43.5 Reese cups. Love that kid! There was barely any floor visible - all candy.

Back to work and the never ending project....

HI ladies..

Quick fly by while hubby isn't on the computer..I finished up step heat and did my grocery shopping. Now, we will be headed to the ball game in while..

Beth: No, he works at home on Tuesdays. Occasionally he switches the days. I agree the new workouts are sounding tough and good!

Thanks everyone..I will tell Chris about the well wishes for the game. Hope they win!!

 

[bitmover]

Joanne, of course we've missed you! Can't wait to see the halloween pics -- sounds hilarious. Dylan sort of wanted to be MJ, but he knew he shouldn't really mention it since we bought costumes so early. He said "next year" he wants to be him. 43.5 reese's cups? I feel like I ate that many!

Larry has been in a horrible mood today! He's been fighting with AIX (software) all day, and he says that's what's bothering him, but I have to wonder if it's his family as well.

Hey Hey!

Joanne: I'm pretty sure I'll love TK. I mean, I LOVE TJ, and it looked similiar with that funky dance music. It's cool that there's 2 workouts on one DVD at least. The blasts at the end of BM2 are crazy! Hope you get the CT scan results quick! and of course that they're NEGATIVE. WAY better than sticking a needle blindly in there, let me tell ya! .... Kids and their Halloween Candy crack me up! Thy're all into trading, and laying it all out there. I swear, that's the most fun they have, even more than eating it!

Kathy: Thinking good thoughts for Chris and his game right now! (they must play under lights, huh?).

My mom did great at her follow up appt. She had cataracs removed from one eye. She has this bruise under that eye, extending downward. Looks like she won a fight! But she says she has her vision back, and she can see a lot better out of her eye now. She was telling me that there were about 4 other ladies there all over the age of 85, getting their eyes done that day. They all struck up this conversasion , complaining about their kids and talking about men and SEX! LOL!! My mother said she had the best time in that waiting room!
