Good morning ladies,

Sorry I didn't check in during the weekend. I was super busy with all sorts of moving related stuff. My head hurt from too much thinking.

OK! Today is day one of rotation de Katie. Starting with LoMax... preparing my mind and double knotting my laces. Hoping/praying the kids behave so I can get through it.

Me and Ryan have had really rough allergies the last week or two and he's been up in the night blowing his nose so we've been up for at least an hour a night each night so I've been super tired. :(

Katie, I hope your day at work isn't too stressful. Your WO will give you the strength to get through! Thanks again for the rotation - I'd LOVE your accountability!

Robin, sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday. Lifetime produces very strange dreams for me.

Hi Jenn, Steph, Colleen, and Kate!

Have a great day all!

Hey girls - I was wondering if I could join your check - in...

I have been reading your threads for a few days now and just think you guys are great! Katie is so chipper in the morning, when I'm usually reading the forums, so a great start to the day. Kate is due with her baby on my birthday, 10/18 so that's gotta mean something right? :p Angie appears to be moving - so am I in the next few days! Everyone just seems so nice and supportive!

Anyway, I've been working out with Cathe since this past May - love her! I'm currently doing an endurance and muscle defining rotation that I put together from a generic one I found on the rotations forum and put in the DVDs that I have. Doing pretty well - my hubby even said he's starting to see a real difference! That's always good, huh?

Well, that's all for now - let me know if you're not looking for any newbies!

Just finished LoMax! I think I had only done that one once or twice. I actually really like it. I think it definitely needs to be on my "to buy" list!

Now it's to the showers, then dance class, then a birthday party, then school with Annabel, then the 3 hour premiere of Heroes! :)

Natalie! You are totally welcome to join our group. I love it here. I've only been around for a few months but these ladies are wonderful. Where are you moving to? We're taking a huge leap and moving from Tucson, AZ to Arras, France! :) Going to be an adventure. So glad you have found Cathe. She's an inspiration!!! Would love to see the rotation you're doing. Katie just put together an awesome one for me and I'm doing the same kind of thing as you.

I forgot to tell you all that I ordered a new scale. So, my plan is to weigh in once a week during this rotation. It comes on Wed so I will weigh on Thursday morning.

OK... off to the showers.
 
I'll bbl for personals - just wanted to say hello quickly. BUSY DAY here!!!:eek: All good tho!

Natalie, Glad you joined us! We all need all the help we can get! And happy early birthday! Youll have an easy one for me to remember! But I'm telling my little girl that she is coming on the 10th!:D haha, right??!!

All for now...bbl.......
 
So quiet lately...

Today has been good (I'm tired though).

Omelet for bfast
1/2 turkey sand for lunch/a few natural lays chips/mandarin orange
prob chicken kabobs/rice for dinner

I think I'll take a nap while the girls are napping.
 
Welcome Natalie, nice to meet you. I also plan to do an endurance rotation next month. Where are you moving to?

Angie Did you order one of those scales that tells a lot of things besides your weight. I had my eye on one,

Hey Colleen, Kate Jenn what's new?
 
Does anyone have the Rhythmic Step/Imax/MIC DVD? I'm looking at the second two (which I've never seen b/c I've only seen RS on Fit TV). Is it worth buying? I remember liking RS and the other 2 look good but Cathe is a bit 80s for me. :) Doesn't mean it can't be a good workout. To buy everything I want it will be around $200. Not too bad.

Robin I got this scale. I hope it's nice. I'm also considering a new HR monitor. Does anyone have this one? I'm interested in tracking calories burned.

Sorry I'm so chatty today. I'm trying to distract myself from moving issues. :)
 
Hi Natalie, nice to see you here!! LOL at me being so "chipper" in the mornings -- not always, but a good sweaty hour with Cathe helps!! Where are you moving?

Busy day turned out to be not so bad -- that's usually the way, isn't it?
 
Katie, Glad you had a good day! We were busy all day, biut good here too! And to think I was bummed out you'd all start STS while I was pg! Hard to believe it's taken so long but it will be worth the wait!

Robin, ooh! Muscle Endurance! I love thate one! Sorry you weren't feeling good y'day - nice to have a lazy day tho!

Angie, I agree! It ahs been quiet here! I'll try to be better!:eek: I feel so crzy-busy since the girls are in school!:eek: So, what moving chores are you distracting yourself from? I can't imagine what huge undertaking that must be to move so far away. My DH would short-circuit of we moved across town! LOL! I can't say I've done MIC too much but I love RS and Imax. Noting wrong with MIC from what I remember - I just tend to stick to faves that I know the steps to.

Natalie, Hope you had a good day today! What WO did you do today?

Colleen, Busy day for you?

Steph, Hoep there's not too much drama going on today.... ((hugs))))

Jenn, oh jenn!!! Where are you??!?!?!

Insanely busy today. Lots of errands and office work while DDs were at school. Also had to take Suzy (kitty) to the vets - again. LOOOONG story but she's not doing well since we got her fixed - not eating or really even moving.:( I don't even want to think about how much we're $pending to nurse this stray kitty back to health. I'm inclined for DH to take his 38 to her and save us some $$$$. But right now she's overnight at the vet for nearly $200 and I've already spent over $100. They're calling me tomorrow to decide what to do next. DDs love her to pieces.... HELP!!!!!!

Eats are okay...I'm just feeling so large I feel like I don't care anymore. Meals are clean, snacks not so much. I have to weigh in tomorrow AM.....I'm scared to!!!!

26 days til my due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WO will be an UB circuit after DDs go to bed...I think. My belly feels tight and sore. I don't really feel like working out but I feel like I have to witht he way I've been eating..... I'm sure I'll be into it after i get started.

bbl.............
 
Hello! Thanks for all of the welcomes! I'm so excited to be a part of the group!

My workout today was the step premix from Cardio and weights followed by the step portion of Step, Pump and Jump. I needed a light cardio day as it was a rough night. You'll hear me complain about not sleeping a lot although I'll try to keep it to a minimum! :p I'm the emergency person to watch my girlfriend's little boy when she goes into labor. Well, last night she called me at 11:15 and said they were going to Labor and Delivery - contractions were right on top of each other. So I went over there and tried to fall asleep - no luck! Then they came back home at 2:30 - false alarm! Gee whiz. So that on top of the fact that my little girl, Ava, who is 3, has major sleep issues and NEVER sleeps through the night due to her enlarged tonsils which we found out today we are going to have removed. Ugh! I'm not looking forward to the procedure but it has been three long years w/o a good night's sleep! Enough about that!

BTW, I tend to get a little long winded sometimes as I'm a stay at home mom and need the adult interaction so please bear with me!

Moving - I live in the suburbs of Chicago and we are just moving into a new house in the area - so definitely not a huge move like to FRANCE!! Hello! How awesome is that!! So we are moving into what I'm calling the "interim" house that my husband's building company owns while we are actually building our own home. More about that another day.

So, I'm doing pretty good in the WO department and looking forward to getting STS. My eating is decent although with the lack of sleep comes an "I don't care, just want to eat" attitude - not good!

Angie - Although I'm fairly new to Cathe I do have the Rhythmic Step etc. DVD. I do like the Rhythmic Step and Imax parts but do not like the mic section. I have never liked floor aerobics though!

Katie - Glad your day wasn't too bad. You have to hate to start off on a Monday expecting a hard day!

Kate - I'll keep my fingers crossed for the 10th for you although I'm a sucker for the 18th! I don't know how you keep up with Cathe's WOs - good for you!

Have a good night everyone!

Natalie
 
Natalie, What a good friend you are! And I love the name Ava - very pretty! I have Gina and Isabel. Julia will be the new arrival. Sorry about the sleep issues - I'll be right there with ya in a few weeks!;) I'm a SAHM too, so we can keep each other company/have adult chat together!:p Do you have just Ava or any others? YAY to house-building!!! We built ours 8 yrs ago (I think:confused:) and can't wait to do it again. In fact on Wed. we're going to scope some property for hte next one. How fun for you! Is your DH self-employed? Mine is - he is a plumbing contractor. As far as doign Cathe WO's 9 mos. pg - I don't always have the energy but when I do I like to give it my all. I've been doing some Leslie Sansone dvds that I bought recently and they've been good for days when my round ligaments are acting up. Tomorrow probably after the WO I did tonight!:eek: And I think the WO you did today sounds like a lot of fun!

I just did 23 min of BM2 cardio then the UB weights. Felt good! I miss the cross-country move. It feels too high impact/too much core work. I just do repeaters:(. Soon, soon! C'mon October!!!
 
Hi Everyone,

Sorry I never got back today. I have something which I am supposed to deliver to our client tonight and it doesn't look like it will happen. My boss is going to be pissed. Oh well. I can't make people do stuff.

Angie, great job on the w/o today. I have RS/MIC/Imax and I like it. MIC is a killer (you don't think it will be but at the end you are exhausted). The Imax is hard and easy at the same time. Of course you also get RS in there too. You might want to check out advancedworkouts.com. The DVD is on sale and you would qualify for free shipping.
Natalie, welcome to our group. Sorry to hear Ava has to get her tonsils removed, but I know you would love to sleep through the night.
Katie, how was work today?
Kate, sorry to hear about Suzy. I hope she gets better. I know it would be tough for the girls.
Steph - {{{hugs}}} hope you are hanging in there.
