Good morning Vilma and all to follow..
I am planning to do Cathe's October rotation. It looks good with lots of variety and strength training!! I have lots of DOMS from yesterday's bootcamp. Mostly in my upper body. So, I may start today with S&H Legs since my legs are feeling ok..
Be back later.

Good Morning Everyone!
I feel like I just did a full days work and it's only 8:30AM!! What a busy morning! ... Let's see, started off with my son telling me "I picked up Kiwi this morning, and he has some poop on his butt"
And then there was regular breakfast and getting the boys off to school and feeding the darn cats, bed making, dishes, ...... My youngest guy is still sick. Up with 103 temp at 2am last night. Poor kiddo is still sleeping. I hope this breaks today and he can go back tomorrow. Though he has been the perfect little patient. he's so sweet!
I peeked at Cathe's OCT 08 Rotation!!!
Maybe do alternate weeks?? Vilma: Have fun with your KB's today! I read a quickie article in SELF last night about Kathryn Heigle (from Grey's Anatomy). She said KB's were her answer to toning up! She discovered them recently too! With you and Beth talking so much about them.... You have my attention! BUT... I ended up being in the "buying" mood yesterday, and ordered Cathe's 10 LB Vest and 5 LB Ankle weights!! AND... I ordered some sweaters and panties from Victoria Secret!! AND.. I have a $100 GC to AMAZON I need to use up!! (Got it from completing a health program at work). I'm thinking cathe's CTX series!?!?! Oh MY!!!
Kathy: I'm excited about OCT 08 Rotation !!!! And I think I'm going to do BC today, and finish out the week with BETH'S ROTATION, and start Cathe's Monday...
BBL !!!!

Quick post here. DH didn't bother to tell me he changed the alarm so I woke up 40 minutes later than I had wanted to. But what's up on the plate is C&W -- personal favorite. BBL for personals.

Good morning everyone.
Checked out Cathe's rotation and I like what I see. I know I said I would start tomorrow but I think I will start on Mon. I will just do what I feel like the rest of this week.
This morning I did 4ds kb cardio and abs only. Quick workout and no equipment needed.
I am waiting for the plumber to come we have a very leaky shower faucet and it need to fixed. Wasting too much water Dh didn't want to tackle that job.
Tonight I have class and another test. I will be hitting the books today. I am going to school for Dental Assisting. Still waiting to hear about my Xray Certification. No news is good news right???
Hope you all have a great day.

Howdy. I haven't checked out the rotation yet -- can't wait to, though since I don't have S&H and am excited about kbells, I probably won't do it -- I'm just so tempted by new rotations always. Chris, you are too funny about my rotation.....
I had a crappy workout..... it was cardio with not enough cardio effect. I kept putting in new dvds and just not getting anywhere so finally gave up after an hour. I hope this isn't some indication for how the month is going to go!! But.... my morning was not nearly so challenging as yours, Chris!
Hottie, I hate it when I don't wake up when I'm expecting to.
Hope everyone has a great day -- mine is going to be a bit crazy... might not be back til this evening.

Please tell us a bit about yourself so we can get to know you.
So I haven't gotten a chance to get my workout in yet
as I've had a very uber busy hectic morning and now that I'm ready to work with my KBell DH is home, watching IronMan in the family room akas my workout area.Love me some Robert Downey Jr though YUM!
So I'll wait until dh has had his tv time and goes off to sleep then I'll do my thang
Kathy I saw Cathe's Oct rotation and reedited the rotations index on that board.
That one looks good, but I've decided to do a Kettlebell rotation for this month 3 days KBell, 3 days cardio & rest day.
Chris not a good way to start your day with scrubbing your cats bottom LMAO.
My 2 cats are shorthair and thankfully once in a very rare blue moon does one of them has something stuck ewww is right!
So sorry to hear your son is still feeling sick - poor kid.
Hottie I love C&W that one is a great wo
Lori good luck with school and your test tonight.
Very nice short & sweet wo you did today. I really like it when I can get it done in under an hour and still feel worked.
Beth - I was tempted with Cathe's new rotation too but more excited about the KBells since its all new & shiny
S&H is a tough series of weight work and I'm always super hungry when I'm doing a rotation with them .
Well thats about it for now
Later Chickadees!

Hi everyone!
Today I did BM2 Premix Cardio Blast and added some upper body workout from SS. When I was doing BM2 I had no more energy after 30 mins and still needed 30 mins left to finish. So when I got to the Power Circuits I had to pause the DVD between circuits to catch my breath and keep going, so I was able to finish the whole thing. I think it was because I’m not used to working out so early in the morning. I might have to just stick to working out after lunch time like I’ve always done. GREAT NEWS!!! YAY!! Today I weight myself and I’m at 141.8!!!!!! I haven’t seen that number in over a year!!!!! I’m so EXCITED! We’ll see how this month goes!
Vilma: Have fun with your workout today! I can’t believe its October already! I’m excited about the upcoming holidays though, I love this time of the year!
Kathy: Have fun with your workout! I haven’t looked at Cathe’s new rotation. I’m going to do that now and see what it’s all about.
Chris: I’m sorry to hear your son is still sick. How long has he had the fever now? I hope he gets better really soon!
Hottie: Have fun with CW! That is a fun workout! “Butter Cup” LOL.
Dawn: Hi Dawn! Welcome to the group! Sounds like you are going to have a nice workout! J
Lori: I’m sure you did well on your exam. I know you must be anxious to find out the results though. WTG on 4DS today!
Beth: I hope you have a good and easy day J
DS is taking a nap so now I’m off to clean that messy kitchen L. Today I’m just not in the mood to do ANYTHING. And I have to do LaundryMax today! Urgh! I hope you all have a great day today! I’ll try to check back in later if I can J

Hey all. Finished C&W except Abs because we were running late because DH and alarm clocks. Besides, I sorta fall over the place because I have such a weak core.
Vilma, I dislike the facial hair of Downey Jr in that one. But usually, I like watching. Hope you get your kettlebells in.
Kathy, so how does S&H compare to GS? DH is really getting into GS and I was thinking of maybe getting him S&H for Xmas...
Chris, the poop story made me laugh. My dog was such an interesting little creature. She was very smart, self-sufficient, and fantastic and communicating with us and she HATED when stuff would get into her hair. She didn't like the groomer but she knew she wouldn't have to deal with stuff in her fur if she did. She would just whine until one of us would clean it up. Man, I miss her.
Dawn, hope you enjoyed your workout.
Lori, how exciting for you! Though I will admit, that going to do any dental work fills me up with dread. I like no equipment workouts too (though I just tend to leave the step in the middle of the living room).
Beth, I had those days too...its almost like, where are my freaking endorphins? What else do I have to do?? Maybe its this wonky temperature (is it affecting you in NoCal?)? yesterday the car was over 100 degrees and outside was about 98. I had to leave the A/C on at home while we went to work. And to make things worse, this Saturday its going to have the high drop below 70. When the temperature is this erratic, it affects my mind and body.
Ivy - WTG on BM2's cardio premix. It's tough to me! And I am so happy but JEALOUS of your weight loss. I have been working so hard and *nothing.* ::whimper:: But a couple people at lab said that I clearly look different in the last month and a half so maybe its all being replaced by muscle...I dunno...it would have been nice for that to be happening...say, 10 or 15lbs lighter though for my mind's sake...but hey, its not like my body has EVER been cared about my feelings.
Iris, yeah, my husband groaned too when it came on. I do LIC on an 8 inch step too but I have a super hard time in the first 10 minutes.
I don't have too much to do today and I have a doctor's appt so I get to leave a bit early which is nice...be around later, just futzing.

Hi ladies. I've missed you all! Life has been absolutely crazy. Things are not so good. I swear, I couldn't even make this stuff up. I'll try to keep it short. First, Caitlyn. She's been running a fever since last Wednesday. They can't figure out why. There's no outward signs of infection. She's had four blood tests and so far her white blood cells counts are high and her CRP and sed rates are high (Chris, any insights??). They're tracking the levels to see if they are going up or down. So far we have the results of two of them and they went up slightly. One blood culture was negative and we're waiting for the results of the others. This is so frustrating! She's fine unless the fever goes up, then she gets tired. We go back to the doctor Friday. Yesterday they told us they were baffled and didn't know what else to do. OK, that's real reassuring - NOT!
Also, both my father and DH's father are in the hospital. Admitted through the ER the same day. My father has something going on with his heart - they're not sure what yet. They're doing a heart cath tomorrow and will either do a stent or bypass. He's really weak - he has Parkinsons and some other health issues and I just don't know how he'd do with a bypass. DH's father has lung cancer which has spread to his brain. He had an MRI and they admitted him for swelling in the brain. We're still not sure what the plan or prognosis is. It's so frustrating trying to get answers. DH and I are taking shifts at the hospital visiting both of them - he's there now. Hopefully he'll get some more information.
Needless to say I haven't been able to get too many workouts in. Today I needed to do something fun, so I did Christi Taylor's Step Heaven. I've kind of fallen off the rotation.
Vilma, sounds like you're having a blast with kbells! It's something I've thought about trying, maybe when things settle down a bit.
Iris, that sounds like a fun workout. Good job with the 8 inch step!
Ivy, that is a tough workout - I've done that one before. Congrats on the weight loss! All that cardio must have worked!
Beth, what was you rotation? What workouts did you try today? Somedays nothing really seems appealing. I'll just sit and stare at my collection until something jumps out at me and says "do me, do me!"
Lori, keeping my fingers crossed your certification comes through!
Hi Dawn! Welcome! You'll probably think I'm a nut after reading the beginning of my post, but my life isn't normally this crazy!
Hi Hottie! Enjoy C&W!
Hi Chris! EWWWW on the cat issue! I had a similar issue with my dog a few weeks ago that went on for days 'cause she was having digestive issues. Really disgusting stuff! Yea, my dog wasn't too thrilled with me for wiping her butt with baby wipes everytime she came in! OK, sorry if that was TMI!! I need a bit of humor today! Hope your son's fever breaks soon. I just hate seeing them so sick. You wish they were back to their normal selves driving you crazy! Have fun with your new toys!
Kathy, did you do Cathe's Bootcamp workout? I'm thinking of doing mostly circuit workouts until we get back to somewhat of a normal life.
Thanks for listening to all my ramblings!

Hi Guys! 
Having a busy afternoon here! Just got back from grocery shopping, Walmart Shopping and Farm Stand shopping (I'm addicted to locally picked Macoun apples!
). I also figured out that it's Kiwi's 1st Birthday today (furry dirty butt kitty). So I got him a shaver for his butt for his bday!! 
and a Kitty Tropical Ship. Plus got the boys some little cupcakes to celebrate! (who got the better end of that deal???)
I did end up doing the ORIGINAL Bootcamp! OMG..LOVE this workout! It was challenging, yet I just love moving from one thing to the next. Nothing lasts long enough for me to get sick of it! (You can do anything for a minute!! Even those damn Terminator Rock climber thingies!). My toe did ok. There were a few "ow" moments, but I tolerated it fine! I totally enjoyed doing a circuit style WO!
Dawn: Welcome to the check-in!!! I'm 45, married for 20 years, and have 3 boys (12, 9 and 7) & 2 cats. I LOVE running too, but am a "fair season" runner. I like to run more cross country style at the local park. Right now, I'm on the bench, because I broke my 4th toe about 3 weeks ago. It is getting better, but I have to watch it. *they* say it takes a month or so to heal... Your workout today sounds great!
Lori: I'll start the rotation with you on Monday too! Good luck on your classes. That's a great profession, good paying, good hours!
Beth: Weird about you not getting a good cardio in today. Where they just not challenging enough? I would have hated to start that many times & not gotten anywhere!! I reallyy do love your rotation. It's going to be hard for me to switch over to Cathe's, but that one looks good too! Argh!! Usually I can't fine ONE rotation I like!
Vilma: I love Robert Downey Jr too! Hubby brought home Iron Man yesterday! We did see it at the movies, the boys loved it too! I was in love with him when he was on Ally McBeal! Hope you were able to get your WO in!
Ivy:
on your new scale number!! That's awesome! It usually takes me a bit to get back to my fitness level when i take a rest week too. I like it , because I don't have to work as hard to get my HR up there and burn more cals!! This is day #3 of my son's fever. I pray he's better tomorrow!
Iris: Sounds like a fun workout! LOL @ buttercup song!!
Hottie: Hi-5's on C&W!! You got me wanting to do that one now! It's weird that your scale doesn't move.
Going to go for a bit and put on the Chicken Soup (for my sickie boy)... will be back in a bit for more!....

Iris: LOL!!! About the Butter cup song, lol!
Dawn: Welcome again to the group! I’m Ivy and I’m 27 yrs old and have 2 kids (Girl 7, and Boy 2) and I’ve been married for almost 11 yrs. I’ve been working out with Cathe for about 4 yrs now or so. J
Hottie: I know exactly how you feel. For a year now (after having my son) I’ve been working out super hard and in one year I only lost 6 lbs!!!! I couldn’t believe it. What I tell myself is that no matter how long it takes I know I will get there some day. You will too! J I still need to loose 12 lbs. It seems like forever though. I guess after baby #2 is harder to loose the weight.
Joanne: I’m sorry to hear your Caitlyn is not feeling well. I don’t understand why sometimes docs can’t seem to find anything. I hope that when you go to the doc on Friday they can tell you something about the fever or do something. I really hope she gets better soon. I will pray for her. I’m also sorry to hear both your father and your DH’s father are in the hospital. I pray that they will be ok. Please let us know how all of them do.
I think a lot of cardio is finally shedding the pounds off. I used to alternate cardio and then weights another day and I guess that wasn’t helping. Once I started doing a lot of cardio again the pounds are FINALLY coming off. I was 145 about a month ago; I can’t believe I’m 141.8 today. WTG on your workout today! Now that you’ve mentioned Christy Taylor’s workout, I should do one of her workouts this month. I love Cathe and all but I’m starting to get burned on her workouts, I need to mix some other ones in my rotation.
Chris: LOL!! You had me cracking up the way you were talking about your kitty, lol! WTG on your workout today! Did you do Bootcamp from Cathe? I need to try that one soon!! I can’t believe what a rest week does to my body though, I sometimes feel like I haven’t worked out for a WHILE, lol. You know when I do my warm up my HR is all up there already. I will keep taking a rest week from now on every 2 months like Iris does J I think she’s the one that told me she does that.
Well everyone time for CookMax, lol. I hope you all have a nice day! I’ll BB tomorrow. J

well, I not only put on the soup, I also shaved a kitty butt AND put together a Kitty Pirate ship for the cat! (He won't get out of the thing, he loves it so much!)....What a nut!
Vilma: Lucky you with short haired cats! I would have never chosen a long haired cat (for this very reason!), but he kind of fell into our lives. And he is a total sweetie, I love him to death!
Joanne: OMG.. Poor YOU!!!! What a crazy black cloud you have hovering over you. You must be so crazy with which way to worry! It totally sounds like your daughter has an infection of some sort. Obviously with the temp, the high (and rising) white blood cells, and sed rate. I'm not sure what a CRP is? I do hope she's on antibiotics, right? which ones is she on? Could it be a resistant infection of some sort? Does she have any other symptoms? Pain? breathing? anything? Did they work her up? Do a Chest Xray? I know you said they did blood cultures. I bet the heart doctors are TOTALLY on it and very careful with her care, though. The poor baby!! Are you back at work now? wish I could give you a hand somehow. Your poor dads!! Just take care of YOU, and make sure you eat well and sleep good, ok? Just so many questions !!
Ivy: I did do Cathe's Bootcamp (the one on the same DVD as ME). I always love that one when I do it! Once I did the total core premix from it! That was intense!! I try to take that rest week every 3-4 months too. Some go longer. My last one was in July, when we went on vacation...
Off to slave in the kitchen again!...

Meh - today turned out to be an unexpected rest day drat!
I just need to get back to doing my 4 30 am workouts again so I don't have life get in the way of my 'me' time.
I was so ready for my workout earlier today bah!
I'm not gonna beat myself over it anymore.
So thats okay.
I did receive my copy of The Kettlebell Way this afternoon.
After reviewing it all I really like this one too and Anthony's tutorial is very good and ooohhhh nice
That's the one I'll do as soon as I get up in the morning. Here's hoping since dh is on his 'weekend off from work' he'll taxi the kids to school, so I can get 'er done pronto then I'll add a CC or itread for good measure.
Well those are my plans but with the way life is I'll know for sure if I can do it all when I'm actually done with it.
Joanne!!!!
I'm so saddened that lil Caitlyn is having fevers, she so does not need that and I hope they figure out what is going on with her so she can heal up soon. She has been through so much already not to mention you and your dh. Big hugs to you.
About your dad and fil, again I'm sorry your having to deal with this all. My prayers are going out to you & your family.
Ivy Alright!!! ^5s to you on melting some pounds.
I'm too darned tired to cook tonight (AuntFlo decided to come early) so its leftovers tonight. I'm going to try to head off to bed and sleep as soon as I tuck my youngest in tonight. My bed is already calling me and its only 6pm
See y'all lovely ladies in the morning.
