Cathlete
I know some of you have great plans for the weekend. I hope everyone has a great time. Wish I was there

I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. DH is home this weekend so I plan on doing either BM2 or Drill Max. It may be only the cardio but I am looking forward to doing it. Maybe tomorrow I can tackle weights

It's raining here AGAIN!!! Yuck

I could sure go for some hershey chocolate or some cheesecake.:p:p:p

ellie
 
ellie! Just get in the car and go. There can't be too many bridges!

No workout for me today. I'm going to eat some hot 5 grain cereal, then hit the road. Have a great day, gang!
 
Good morning ladies!! I need to get moving to get my w/o in before the GTG. I might need to w/o afterwards :eek:

Ellie, I vote for DM cardio ;) I hope you have fun!

Robin, tell everyone at Hershey hello!!
 
Guten Morgen!

Houdini is sitting next to me on the floor, drinking her cup o' milk with the medicine slipped in...covert operation medicine is underway for today, LOL!

I did 4DS Chest & Back and Triceps & Biceps this morning. I feel fantastic! It is very cold here today. Will only be in the 50's today with wind. I have her dressed up in her autumn sweater I got on sale at Janie & Jack, it's so cute! I'll post a picture later.

Plans for today--watch Food Network Thanksgiving shows this morning, then have lunch with a friend, and stop by the WIK candle store for some new candles. I was going to do Whole Foods, too, but I decided I'd rather watch TV instead...

Robin--Safe journeys and enjoy Hershey!

Catherine--I want a report on what cheesecake you order today!!

Ellie--I vote Drill Max, if you think your calves can handle it...

uh oh. Houdini has left...and is quiet. NOT GOOD! Oops! Now I hear my step crashing onto the living room floor...Gotta run!!

:) Wendy
 
Hi Peep-sters!

Ellie: I'll do DM with you today! I just got this one (and two others) new this week and am dying to try one of them! Was following the November rotation but had cramps really bad yesterday and bagged the w/o last night... but must do something today!

Robin: have a safe trip! am I recollecting accurately that you are meeting some other Catheites today? Have a wonderful time!!! :D

Wendy: Hope the "crash" wasn't too serious! :( and that everything is fine... sounds like Houdini is starting to feel better so that's a good thing! You are another one that is SO domestic here! You are always cooking such wonderful dishes and watching Food Network! I must admit, that I don't have a single cooking bone in my body and about the only things I do well are eggs, breakfast potatoes and bacon! Oh, and the evil 3-cheese Mac n' Cheese! the rest I have to leave to DH so I don't poisen myself!

waves to Catherine, Vilma, Heather, Karin, and all who follow today!
 
Okay Dani,

While certain peeps are out enjoying Hershey and Cheesecake ( I won't mention any names) Catherine and Robin
We will be doing Drill Max. Yipee. I'm getting ready to start
Let me know how you do!!!

Peeps~

Happy Saturday.....even though I don't work right now, I still look forward to the weekends:) I'll be doing Lauren Brook's 40min kb workout today and a long walk with the dog. It is only going to get in the low 30's today so I'll have to bundle up.

Robin~ Have a safe trip and a wonderful time with your catheites GTG.

Catherine~ How did your KB session go? Have fun with your catheite GTG too.

Ellie & Dani~ Let us know how your DM workout goes.

Wendy~ Great workout this morning! I love doing the 4DS uppper body premix. What did Houdini get into?:confused: I remember...no worries as long as you can hear them but as soon as things get quiet, it usually means trouble.

Hello to all peeps who follow......have a great day:D

Peeps!

Just getting my day started here as we had a volatile rain storm last night that woke me up at 3am and I couldn't go back to sleep until sometime after 5ish.

Scary, scary but all seems normal outside now except for the crazy weather which is forecasted to be today around 75 degrees then it'll drop back to low 50's tomorrow.


iTread on my agenda today or just a power walk w/ my weighted vest not sure which.

Catherine you asked if I liked The Kettlebell Way yesterday and yes I do! :p Enough that I preordered The Kettlebell Way 2 - Empire State that should be ready to ship next week.

When I started looking into kettlebells many helpful folks here recommended it. It's AOS Providence but with Beth Chamberlain & Anthony. I got this version for the tutorial section that breaks down the moves.

Have fun at the GTG.

Ellie after last night/early morning storm the sun is finally out after grey skies for the past 3 days ick!

Here's hoping the rain goes away and the sun peeks out for you too

Robin Have a great fun time at the GTG too!

Wendy too funny how you need to slip in her meds.
Enjoy your weekend watching Food Network - Can't watch those shows without getting the urge to start eating lol
So what did Houdini get herself into?:p

Dani enjoy your new workout today... Should I say have fun with DM?

JJ How are you enjoying Lauren's 40m workout? I really enjoy it as the time goes by so fast and she always leaves me in a sweaty mess.


Big Hellos to all the Peeps that Follow

Have a Great Day!

WOOHOO!!!

DM Cardio/Leg premix is DONE!!! it was fun to watch and I could do most but not all of the exercises/drills... I have limited room, so the walking lunges segment was a little more cramped, and I have a hard time with the Plyo moves, but I worked my a$$ off!!! Will be fun trying other premixes until I can do the entire workout! I'm also looking forward to trying KickMax!

GO ELLIE GO!!! You can do it!
 
Not much to report here. DH worked late last night so I hung out by myself at home and it was awesome. I didn’t have to fight with anyone for the remote :). I think that we are going to have to do some serious leaf raking in the backyard today. DH and I just bought our first house last year and I am still not loving the yard work part of it.

As far as exercise, I am thinking of doing the weight work from LIC today or do something on my own at home that has a bunch of knee PT exercises in it.

Ellie – Have fun with Drill Max. I love that workout.

Robin – I hope you have a great day meeting fellow Catheites. I have never met someone from the boards. I’d be so excited/nervous.

Catherine – I hope that you have fun at your GTG too. Is this your first local GTG?

Wendy – Can’t wait to see the pic of Houdini in her fall sweater. I am watching the Food Network Thanksgiving shows this morning too. BTW, the menu that you posted for your Thanksgiving sounds divine!

Dani – How are you holding up with the job situation? When are you supposed to hear back about your situation?

JJ – A high in the low 30s. BBBBRRRR!!! Dress warmly for you walk with your dog.

Vilma – I did an itread workout last night on the TM. I have a question for you. I just started on the TM this week and I think that I might have shin spints? I have this burning pain in the lower half of my leg on the outside. Ouch. Do you experience shin splints? Any tips on how to manage, prevent them?

Heather – How are you doing today? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Did you pre-order STS? Yes, the bonus footage is very similar to my knee PT exercises and it will be fun to follow along with Cathe and the gang instead of just doing it on my own. I have to say that the exercises that are in the main leg workout of meso cycle 1 look a little hard on the knees but I am just going to try to modify, modify, modify.


Hi to everyone else who pops in today! Have a great day everyone.
 
Dani!!!!!!

Drill Max is hard.:eek::eek::eek: I forgot
I am gonna be hurting tomorrow.
But I'm done YEAH

I'll BBL for more personals
ellie
 
WTG Dani & Ellie!! DrillMax is a toughie!

Hi Karin~ Have fun raking leaves:confused: I did that last weekend and hated every minute of it. The darn leaves kept blowing around.

JJ
 
Hey gang!! Just got back from lunch with Rhondalyn and Kara. We had a good time! Yes, this was our first local GTG. Hopefully one of many. Rhondalyn and Kara are such sweet ladies.

JJ, the session went well yesterday. We did some new moves push press, side press and started practicing TGU :confused: I can not "get up" LOL!! I hope you had a good w/o with Lauren today ;)

Vilma, thanks for the info on KBW. I am thinking of asking for it for Christmas!

Ellie and Dani congrats on DM!!

Karin sounds like you had a good evening last night :cool:

Wendy, no cheesecake. Not even desert :eek: But I may have something later!! :cool:

Hope I didn't miss anyone!!

Click to expand...

Karin - I only would get shin splits when I used to do Hi/Lo High impact step moves.

Since I started running using itreads and Cardio Coach I honestly can't recall getting them.

Sounds more like you may have your IT band bothering you and for that I can suggest some exercises.

  • Stand up straight with your feet hip width apart cross your right foot over your left foot, so that the outside of your right foot is parallel to the inside of your left foot . Now slowly bend at your hips trying to touch your nose to your knees with your legs straight and hold for 30 sec. Repeat for the other foot.
  • Or if you have a foam rollar look at this link
Sorry as this is what I've done and so far I've not had anymore pain or discomfort from my IT band
 
Hi! I'm home too. Even had time to do a Tracey Step workout.

The GTG was nice. Only two others could make it. Gayle had car trouble.:( It was nice to meet Gracenote from Catheland and Colleen from the Ya Ya board. We had fun, chatting and shopping. I strongly encourage everyone to take any opportunity to meet Cathe friends face to face if possible. I've NEVER been disappointed!

We are headed out for Thai. Yum.
 
Robin, I totally agree. After the couple of trips I've made with Catheites it's always been wonderful. I think people on here are truly nice and let their personalities show in the posts.
PLEASE tell me you ate Chocolate!!!!!!
Catherine did not eat cheesecake or offer to send it to me!!!!!
ellie :D
 
Oh, my has it been a DAY in our house! DH is over at his brother's watching football, so it's me and Houdini, and here's what happened:

She ATE some of my Chanel eye shadow when I left the room for a minute. Yes, ATE IT!!

I couldn't believe it!

I've attached a picture of her in her fall sweater...I think she looks so cute! OK, I'm biased, I know, but she does!

:) Wendy

OK, I'm back. Houdini has now retired for the evening and I'm pooped. She was WILD today! That crash during my first post--well, she likes flipping my step over, putting it up on three risers so it's slanted, and climbs it as a slide. (Hey, she's already stepping, LOL!) So that was her wanting the step in slide position. But when I left for lunch, DH said she screamed and threw a 45 minute long fit...then, when I came home, she was into everything all day long...I'm ready for a heating pad, my book (reading The Other Boleyn Girl right now) and more Thanksgiving Food TV! I'm glad DH is out tonight--I want ME ME ME time! :)

Karin--Ha, I hate yardwork, too. Wish I loved being in the dirt, wish I loved nutruing plants, but I *hate hate hate* it. I'd rather be in the kitchen! Speaking of which, did you see anything you wanted to try on Food TV today? I loved Ina's turkey breast idea, but if I don't make the maple-mustard glazed turkey breast, there will be a revolt in my house. (Funny thing is, that is a Richard Simmons Farewell to Fat Cookbook creation. It's so easy, healthy, and much to my shock, everyone wants it year after year.) Are you staying in Colorado or headed home for the holidays?

Dani--I'm only domestic in the kitchen. Avery has an empty scrapbook and all her photos shoved, out of order, in a shoebox (unlike everyone else in my mommy group. I am the sole scrapbook revolter.) I can't sew or do any kind of a craft to save my life, so we all have our gifts!

Catherine--So what did you eat at Cheescake Factory? I like their salads, but man, it's like salad for a week, with those big portions!

OK, time to wash my face, snuggle in, and enjoy more Thanksgiving TV. Have a great night!!

:) Wendy
