Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Thought I would start our thread this morning...Just getting ready to get the kids started on their lesson for today...Today's workout is going to be cardio. I thought I would do another Amy Bento..I was thinking either In the ring or Advanced Step Challenge...

Be back later..

Happy Halloween!!!

Hubby is already filling the bowls with candy... oh I need strength today!

Yesterday afternoon, I ended up going out in the brisk Autumn weather (it was in the 40's and WINDY), and going for a walk. Oddly enough, my toe bothered me. It didn't hurt, it just felt numb BIG like Fred Flintstone toes. But I walked with it like that for 30 minutes.

I'm in a weird mood today. I've been fighting off a cold this week, eating Zicam like candy, but I'm still on the "edge" of it. Dry, tiny bit sore throat, little bit of a runny nose. Ick. I've been toying with the idea of blowing off a workout today. BUT..most likely I'll go do PUB: Up Only and PLB: Floorwork... We'll see if I can dig out the motivation...

Kathy: Enjoy your cardio today!! Are you dressing up?

Oh, here's my Halloweenies!!

Happy Halloween! Chris, that picture is great! Thanks for posting. It's rainy and super windy here this morning -- I've already had a mental conversation with myself about just buying the boys a bunch of candy and having movie night. But, it's just not the same! Somehow we'll get through it, I guess.

I had a bad night of sleep, but a guy at work yesterday gave me some zing drink mix or something -- it's got caffeine and a massive dose of vitamin B12 and other vitamins. Well, that got me moving! I think I may be hooked on the stuff, but wonder how much of it is placebo effect. In any case, it worked this morning! I did PLB and I was ready to just keep going with the heaviest weights almost every round. My legs are still shaking! That said, I skipped most of the lower body portion (I guess Chris is doing it for me today!) because I'm nervous about getting the boys ready for school on time -- with costumes and all. And here I sit writing! Can't stay away from you guys.....

Chris, that cold thing.... that's what I have, but am getting over -- yea!. The zicam didn't seem to do anything for me -- do you think it's working for you? I hope so!

Don't know when/if I'll be back today -- so much going on, but have a great halloween everyone!!! Be safe!

Oh, forgot to mention..... I did PLB today with weighted vest and dumb bells.... I just couldn't keep up with the barbell changes that Cathe & the girls did. I liked it so much better this way! And, I think I actually went heavier than I might have with the barbell.

Hey again!

So I did it: PUB: UP PREMIX (no abs though) and PLB: STABILITY BALL (Yes, Beth, I did it FOR you!). That ball is killer, isn't it? I hate it, but I always feel so challenged doing it, so it must be good.

OMG..Beth, what is that drink called? Do you buy it at the store or did he concoct it on his own? I want some! WTG on your workout today , and wanting to do MORE! Great idea on the vest. I actually use hand weights for PLB. I have heavy ones (the Bow Flex adjustables). I couldn't tolerate changing the bar that much either.

Thought I would share my OTHER "kiddies" in their Halloween attire (how thrilled are THEY???)

Hiya Gals!

Started late today but my Thursdays and Fridays always seem out of sorts as its that time with the hubby.

I ended up taking a rest day - heck no way I could do a workout while I'm out around town all darned day.

Ugh I was just reminded that I ned to go back out and get more flipping swiss cheese . Drat!

Well I hope to have a normal post here soon. Crabnabit!

Chris! You cat torturer, you!

That drink stuff was found at Costco -- I'm hoping to find it elsewhere because I hate going to costco and only manage it once or twice a year. It's call Zipfizz energy drink mix -- it comes in vials -- sort of, you'll see what I mean -- and at Costco anyway, it came in a big pack of them (of course). It's got 10 calories, 2g carbs, no sugar, 500mg vitamin C, 10 IU vit. E, 2500 mcg vit B12, 10mg niacin, 60mg calcium, a bunch of other stuff, and oh, get this.... I see nothing about caffeine on the label! Perhaps you don't want it. I'll ask my friend Bob about the caffiene -- he told me it had it.

Ug.... the school had a big halloween parade, and by the time I was heading into town to stock up, there must have been some horrible horrible accident and traffic was not moving. I went for an hour and then gave up. Ug!

Chris: Love the photos..Your kids are so cute and those kitties are adorable!!!

Checking back in with Amy's In the ring done. That was the first time I tried that workout and it went pretty good. I followed along pretty well..I think I will do better the next time I do it..

Tomorrow I am going to try and start the November rotation..If it is posted. I am headed over there now to see if Cathe got it up early by and chance. I can always do a pilates that I just got. It is the FIRM sculpt-ilates..I haven't tried it yet. So, I am looking forward to checking it out..

Happy halloween to all your ghosts and goblins out there!!!

re: the drink.... zipfizz

Ok, looks like no caffeine, from what I can tell. They have a website: www.zipfizz.com and they list retailers. Looks like Safeway, Walgreen's, Rite-Aid, 7-11, and some other places.

Kathy, let me knowhow that firm sculpilates is. It looks interesting but I didn't want to shell out to buy it.
