P90X Grads + Nancy ---> Monday

[RunninTeach]

Morning, ladies

I refuse to put the dates on any threads that I start b/c I don't want to see how quickly August is zipping by! *lol* I'll start to panic about all that I still need to do before school starts!!

Today'll be CTX k'box + yoga. Thought I might run (since I bagged yesterday's planned run) but it rained and I'm not up for dealing with the humidity. I'm still kinda fightin' feelings of laziness here.

Wendy :: how did Joey handle the 8 pm bedtime?

Nancy :: happy b'day to DD!!

Angie :: absolutely...progress is progress, so I'm happy ...The Bare Escentuals starter kit is $60...that is what I started with and would recommend...it comes with an instructional DVD, which I found helpful...it's a lot of money for makeup, but if you buy it at Ulta (do you have one near you?), you can return it w/in 30 days if you don't like it, so there's no real risk. I'm not sure where else it is sold. Over the years, I have used everything from the inexpensive drug store brands, Body Shop, certain Lancome products for a time, and most recently Bobbi Brown, but have never felt a "wow" reaction after doing my own makeup. I love the colors of BE and think it looks very natural...In terms of possible check-in names: CAB Lovers? ha ha...I'm not coming up with a whole lot of ideas right now, either...

Hi Diana & Laura!

Have a great Monday ~ BBL

Good Morning.

So I have decided that my first post-vacation work out and the kick off to my HM training will be...*drum roll please*...DRILL MAX!!!! Yeowzas, I must be mad! LOL

Cathy: Joey put up a small fight about going upstairs to bed but I highly doubt he realized it was earlier then it's been....hmmm...maybe he did just based on the fact that he wasn't exhausted! LOL Anywho, he was fine though. He's generally no trouble at all when it comes to naps and bedtime. I'm truly blessed. Enjoy kb and yoga today! That reminds me that I can't forget about my yoga. I'll have to find the time to do it still!

Alrighty...I guess I'll be back later.

Morning Ladies .. Monday .. UGH!!!x(

Well . . caught up w/the weekends posts ..Welcome back Wendy!! Sounds like you girls had a "summer slacking" weekend .. LOL! Hey we all need those .. refreshes the soul .. ya know? Sat. I made it up for all of you .. did a crazy interval run 1 hour 15 min .. oh yea .. my rear end is still feeling it ..

Well after a CRAZY day Friday at work .. went home did doggie bath max .. LOL .. they loved it though .. b/c it was so freaking hot .. after that got in the pool enjoyed some CABS and then cooked steaks w/DH and settled in for a movie (watched 23 w/Jim Carey .. really good)

Only this week and Sat. we are off to the Florida Keys - Key Largo! .. I am excited and nervous .. I am a worrier .. so I worry about leaving my "babies" .. and family .. and traveling .. etc .. but sure the worry will be gone once I smell that salt air ... LOL! I woke up Sunday morning w/a sore throat .. #@%$$#%^@#$% ... it had BETTER go away this week!!

Cathe .. think the "CAB lovers" is a hoot . \. LOL! Oh .. and the makeup .. I started using Everyday Minerals .. people on this site reccommended it .. and they have free samples I tried it and LOVED it .. and it is VERY affordable .. think the starter kit is only $35 .. you get 2 foundations, a blush, concealer, finishing powder and your choice of 2 brushes .. I have been VERY pleased with it .. everyone compliments me on my skin .. and for the price you just can't beat it!!

Wendy .. again welcome back .. tackling Drill Max right after vacation .. ... are you crazy?? LOL

Angie .. too many CABS on a Friday night ?? no worries .. you will burn them off this week .. wish too many CABS didn't make you feel like crap the next day .. LOL!

Nancy .. still sending {{ hugs }} your way .. glad your weather is bearable .. JEEZE is it ever hot here .. we are under a heat advisory . temps to 98 or 99 .. and heat index to 105 - 110 .. YUCK!!!x(

Diana .. be glad you don't have our temps b/c outdoor bootcamp would NOT be doable!! LOL

OK .. today is BBC shoulder and back .. tonight is cardio circuit class!}(

OK . gotta run .. have a great one ..and even better workouts!!

Hi Ladies,

Another Monday is upon us. This morning I did Kickbox Bootcamp with Kimberly Spreen. The cardio portion was only about 40 minutes. The remaining 20 minutes was abs, stretching and balance. It might be a good add on to another workout. I'm doing heavy leg weights at the gym and have bootcamp class tonight. It's been raining every evening so I hope we don't get rained on.

When can we expect our new dvd's? From the blog (well I didn't look today) it sounds they are basically done with everything. The pre order is still being offered.

Cathy-it sounds like you are not looking forward to going back to school. The summer does seem to be flying by rapidly. Kickbox and yoga sound great to me, enjoy your workout.

Wendy-jumping right into it with Drill Max...you go Wendy! I love the mix n match premix on this workout.

Laura-So 23 was good? My family was watching it and I could hear them adding subtracting etc and it kind of turned me off from wanting to watch it. I hate math and math games. Your interval run sounds awesome. We are lucky that it cools down in the evenings.

Nancy-hope all is well with you.

Angie-What are you up to today?

Diana

A quick post...did CTX KB this morning before my chiro and will have to get to yoga later. I'm off to hang with a friend by her pool for a bit. Looks like the sun is finally shining.

Wendy :: glad Joey's back to his routine. How was DM?

Laura :: Everyday Minerals sounds very similar...I will check them out, but I imagine my current supplies will last me quite awhile. You really don't have to use very much. Same here - I am hearing some compliments, so I'm really pleased with it...How long is your trip to the Keys?

Diana :: Three workouts per day...how do you do it???...It's not that I'm not looking forward to going back to school, but I feel as though I wanted to accomplish more this summer than I have been able to do so far, and I'm feeling a little panicky.

Hi Angie & Nancy! Will try to stop back in later.

Cathy-well I only have 3 workouts two times per week. Heavy leg day is only about 30 minutes, but is 30 heavy-hard minutes. Sometimes I'm not able to do my morning or afternoon workout on those days so it ends being only 1 or 2 workouts that day.

I totally understand wanting to get more done and feeling rushed to get it done before school starts.

Hey Ladies!

DM got done as planned. Man does that work out kick some serious butt! WHOA! }(

Laura: Nice run you got in there! 75 mins is no joke! Good for you! After reading about the CABS you enjoyed with your DH I may have to crack one open myself tonight. }( Yeah, I dove back into the pool head first today after taking 3 days off! I had to "redeem" myself you know!

Diana: My goodness, how many work outs can you do in one day!? I hope BC didn't get rained out for you tonight.

Cathy: DM kicked my arse big time. I loved it!}( :7 }( CTX k/b is a great little work out when you don't want to invest a lot of time. It's may fave of the ctx cardios. How was the pool?

Okay, I'm off to give DS a bath before I put him to bed.

Have a great evening all!

TTYT!:7

Hi everyone

As usual, a busy Monday - and now that the boys are in sports, there's ZERO free time until after dusk on my work days. I did do the X C&B, which is the first time in over 6 weeks that I have done an X upper body workout. Oh my! It was killer and then I topped it off with AR200 instead of ARX since I was running way late!}( I am doing my Cathe/P90X rotation again. I was gonna nix it until after August since we still have so many vacations going on, but I really wanted to buff up my arms before the nascar race in 2 weeks. I couldn't think of a better way to do that than the X. My upper body was shaking when I was done! Yup - it should do the trick.

Cathy - I'm gonna have to look up bare minerals and everyday minerals on the net. I have nothing close to me except walmart and kmart.;( I really do need to try something new and I think the DVD would be helpful to me since I have never really been taught how to apply makeup properly. I don't use much as it is b/c I don't do a super job of applying it....ummmm....I think it goes along with the low maintenance mode. *lol* Maybe I'll learn some new things that will make a difference. Thanks for the info on that.;-)
Re: name - LOL - CAB lovers.....funny girl.
Hopefully you had a nice day at the pool - tis the season for the teachers to relax!! Yes, you are right, summer is definitley flying by!!!! Boo!

Wendy - Glad to hear you are getting back to your normal routine and with a kick start no less. *lol*
And, by the way, for all you girls who don't know or haven't had a chance to check out the main forum, Wendy passed her PT cert!!;-) :+ Wooooohoooooo!!! Yes, Wendy, you do deserve to pop one open tonight and enjoy. Congratulations to you!

Laura - Thanks for getting that interval run in for the rest of us. Whew - I'm tired! LOL
OK, so where did you find everyday minerals? Is there a web site or did you buy it somewhere in a store?
I'll bet you are excited about your vacation! It sounds so wonderful! Are you planning on going scuba diving with DH?

Diana - I'm looking forward to the new DVD's too! I know they will mess with my current rotation, but I think I can fit them in someplace. It sounds like she has a lot of upper body work in these as well, and I can't believe the number of premixes....WOW!
Could you send some of your rain our way??? We soooo need it. There's a big forest fire in the upper penninsula right now and it doesn't look like we're gonna get any rain anytime soon.
How was RTTC?

I'll check back with you all tomorrow girls...have a nice night!

Angie
