Cathlete
Good Afternoon,

Today I did a 30 minute I-Tread, and the Back workout from STS Meso 2 week 3. This is a pretty tough workout, it's where she does that double wave loading stuff.

DH and I went to a large farmer's market for squash, brocoli, sweet potatoes etc. You cannot beat the price and they are so much better when you get them there.

It's a beautiful fall day here, bright and sunny, but cool. It's 54 degrees right now.

Cathy, isn't it nice to just stay home some days? Those are my favorite.

Joan, Way to Go on the winnings!!!

Hi to Josie and Garance...
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did my usual Physique 57 (57 min.).

Deb, I know what you mean by buying things from local markets. We do that, but we also have so many things from DH's garden. I am making a garlic soup that uses 26 cloves of roasted garlic and 18 garlic cloves sauteed, plus now I have our chicken broth from our homegrown chickens. Later in the week I am using a couple of our butternut squashes and a couple leeks to make another soup. I am doing the shorter 12 week STS this next time, and I am substituting Physique 57 for a lot of the legs disks.

Yesterday it was pouring rain all day. Today is sunny, 52 degrees, a beautiful fall day, although most of the foliage is gone from all of the wind we have had.

Joan, I had to go look at the old thread to see your casino winnings. WOW! What are you going to splurge on??

I watched Twilight last night from Netflix. I just thought it was weird and I don't understand why the books have been so popular. Not even going to try them. On the other hand, I loved Harry Potter. No disputing taste I guess.
 
Good evening Garance, Deb, Josie and Cathy,

Beautiful day today in the mid 60's. I think the color of the leaves is the best I have every seen it. Unfortunately it is supposed to rain all week. I hope we have leaves left next weekend.

No wo yet but I still have hope.

Garance I keep my "gambling money" separate and use it for gambling and Las Vegas.

Joan
 
Monday

Good Morning,

No workout for me this morning, another crappy nights sleep. :mad:. I am trying to track what I am doing on the nights that I have trouble sleeping, and I think it has to do with what I have eaten that day. I have to stop eating sugar, I think that is the main problem. It would help the weight situation too! :rolleyes:

Garance, I am not a big fan of garlic, but your soups always sound so good. I bid on another Physique 57, 30 minute workout on
Ebay. I don't understand why someone would pay more than what they are charging on the web site, for a used DVD...:rolleyes:...the last one I bid on went for way more including the shipping...I guess I could just get it from the website and get that ball they use...did you ever get that? What makes it different from one you can buy in a sporting goods store? It's hard to tell what it's like from the clips. I don't get what all the hoopla is about on those Twilight books either.

Joan, you must have something in mind to buy with those winnings!

Hi to Cathy & Josie..

Cold here today, I hope it doesn't rain.
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did the Low Impact Circuit premix with the upper body (65.5 min.).

Deb, I really wish I had bought that stupid ball they advertise (penny-wise, pound foolish!). I have been using a 3 lb. med ball, and it's obviously not as squishy as the one the exercisers use. I feel like I am trying to squeeze a cantaloupe between my thighs. I have not looked around, so maybe I could find something more squishy at a local store, but I'm reluctant to give up my precious time shopping. The garlic soup was really yummy last night. Roasted garlic is so mellow. You also season at the end with lemon and parmesan cheese.

Joan, how did the Rams do yesterday? I'm not much of a football fan, I admit, but DH is a Patriots fan and he used to be a Giants fan. We both hate the Yankees, so we are rooting for the Phillies in the World Series. You must be a Cardinals fan (?).

Hey Josie, how was the big birthday weekend? Two cakes??

Hi Cathy!
 
Hi Ladies,

I went spinning on Sunday and no wo on Saturday. I feel a bit sore today from the spinning.

Garance, I did not have to bake after all. My DH and DD decided that they got enough free desserts at their birthday dinners. For my DH we went to see a singer by the name of Gal Costa from Brazil She has a very sexy voice. Check her out on pandora.com.

Deb, If I eat too much sugar or have coffee after 5:00 PM I know that I will not be able to sleep.

Hi Cathy and Joan.

Josie
 
Hi Josie, Garance, Deb and Cathy,

I did get BB Step blast done today. I have logged in my eating for the last three days. Today is the first time under 1400 calories. I did find that when I planned food for weekend it wasn't perfect but was less than usual.

Rams are terrible but we have season tickets. I did bet on the Rams to win Super Bowl in the year they did win the Super Bowl and the odds were 250 to 1.

Good news my client isn't dead. Bad news he moved without telling me and didn't get the return. He had been in hospital and didn't sound well.

I got a kids ball for $1 that works great. I just had to pick through balls to find a softer one.

Joan
 
Tuesday

Good Morning all,

Today I did a 30 minute I-tread and Biceps from STS.

Garance, I may look around for the ball if I get the workout from Ebay. I put a bid in, but I have my max amount in so if it goes over, I will be out of the bidding.. Then maybe I will get it from the website and order the ball at the same time. When do you start STS over again?

Josie, what a nice birthday celebration!

Joan, good job on the eating. What are you using to log in the food? How did you find your missing client? That would have been a job for one of my favorite female fictional investigators! Where did you find the ball? Maybe I will look for one this weekend. Your team was the one that Rush was trying to buy into right?

Cathy, what is up for you this week?

Have a good one!
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did Physique 57 for arms and abs (30 min.) plus 2 miles with Leslie (30 min.).

Deb, I am going to start STS again on November 1.

Joan, that sounds like what I should do. Go to Target and find a decent ball to squish. How much money did you bet on those 250:1 odds? If you had bet 100 dollars, that would be a tidy little bundle of cash! Or...if you had bet 1000---well, it boggles the mind.

Josie, I bet you are thankful that you don't have leftover cake to resist. It sounds like a lovely weekend for everyone.

What are you doing this week Cathy?
 
Hi Ladies,

Back to working out with Kevin this evening. I weighed myself this morning and I had gained one pound. I was very surprised because I have been eating all kids of junk and only workout on Sunday. Go figure!

I decided to buy the Physique DVD's. After hearing of the great results that Garance has seen.

Joan, I'm also interested as to how much you bet on the Rams.

I just found out from one of my DB that he wants to have Thanksgiving at his house this year and also wanted to give me a break. I'm so happy that I don't have to deal with it.
He did request that I bring my pumpkin and sweet potato pies and macaroni and cheese.

Deb, it looks like you got some sleep last night.

Hi to Cathy.

Josie
 
Hi ladies,

I had wanted to bet a $100 on the Rams but my dh talked me out of it so I only bet $10. We did go to LV for the Super Bowl to collect my winnings. You can bet my dh hears me tell everyone it's his fault I didn't bet more. The cashier told be the $2500 pay out was the most he had paid out. The Rams were so bad that year no one bet even though they were great odds. Unfortunately once the season started the odds went down.

I got my ball at Target.

Deb Client called me. He had lived in Georgia and has moved back to St Louis. He could have picked up the return if he had only called 3 weeks earlier. Now it's lost in post office land.

Garance Did you see the thread you commented in about the modifier?
They posted that some threads have been eliminated and a poster has been banned. But I can't figure out who.

I just finished Disc 13. Calories eaten were 1230 today.

Joan
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did Amy Bento's Cardio Kickbox Surge, without the surges (62 min.).

It's pouring rain here today, and it was so dark this morning when I woke. I am looking forward to that extra hour of sleep this weekend and a little more light when I wake up.

Joan, I just bet you rag your husband about that bet. DH teased me mercilessly when I insisted that he buy Ford stock earlier this year. Hah! We made a tidy sum on that hunch when we sold part of it. He now asks me every now and then if I have any other hunches. I guess I will have to break down and head off to the mall and see if Target has a squishy ball for me.

Josie, that's great that you don't have to cook your little heart out on Thanksgiving. I make sweet potato pies too. DH loves them--more than the pumpkin.

Deb, did you have another bad night?

Cathy, what are your grandchildren going to be for Halloween?
 
hey ya'll, been busy this week as usual. had the grandkids on monday and it poured rain all day. errands on tuesday, did an abstinence presentation at one of out hi schools all day today, and tomorrow, i'm gonna try really hard to do drill max. :). then, i have my Bible study tomorrow nite. so, that is what i'm doin'. :) so, later.
 
Hi everyone,

The Halloween candy got me today. I found where I hid it.:rolleyes: I need to wait until 6:00pm pm the 31st before I buy it.

I didn't get to sleep until 3am this morning so no wo tonight. I need to get some accounting done and then go to bed.

Joan
 
Thursday

Good morning all,

I did not post yesterday because the site was down for maintenance all morning. I kept checking it before I had to leave for work and it did not come back. I did not workout yesterday or today. I am coming down with a cold and feel all achy and my chest is heavy, coughing etc. I hope I can shake it in a day or two.

Josie, lucky you for not having to have Thanksgiving! What a nice break. Let me know when you get the Physique 57 DVD's and what you think of them. Did you order the squishy ball too or are you going to try to find one at TArget?

Joan, I saw that thread about the modifiyer, it is never ending...come on people, give it up!

Garance, I think I would like sweet potato pie too, I love pumpkin, but never make pies. My SIL brings all the pies for Thanksgiving, or we would have store bought ones. :rolleyes:

Cathy, Hi to you..you are sure a busy lady!

Here is a link to the Dog Halloween party pic:

Good morning,

Love the pictures. Ds is coming in from Portland for Thanksgiving and I will have him help me with pictures. I want to show off Elliot.

Garance I just bought Kelly Coffey-Meyer's NYC Body Sculpting and 30 Min to Fitness Body Training. I decided I needed shorter wo for Jan-April. You are an enabler.

No wo yet. We will be leaving at 10:00 to go to Halloween party at dil class. I'm surprised that's allowed. One parent already complained because ghost and witch were in the vocabulary last week. I guess just knowing the words will make them satan worshipers.:p

Deb I hope you feel better soon. I wish you could get more sleep.

Joan
 
Hi Ladies,

I did not wo yesterday, I was lazy. Today is my Kevin wo, I'm a bit sore from Tuesday's wo.

Deb, I loved the pictures to. Sorry you are feeling ill take care of yourself. I will probably just go to target and get the ball.

Garance, I agree with Joan, you are an enabler.

Hi Cathy, how is the weather there?

Josie
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did the Physique 57 express workout (30 min.) plus 2 miles with Leslie. I love the express workout. It's intense, but flies by. I think you will like this one Josie. The 57 min. workout I start groaning halfway through the legs, and on the 30 min. arms and abs, for some reason the outside of my legs starts to burn while doing the abs. But I still love these.

Deb, I zeroed in on Kelsey and Keegan as pumpkin heads, I think. Too cute! Gosh, sorry you are not feeling well.

Joan, I guess it was a single profanity that led to one of the posts being deleted. I looked at the photos for the athletic step, and I know this is another high impact routine, so I am once again thrilled to have cancelled my presale. I figure that I will probably buy the Step Moves and Travel Fit when they are available. Can't see myself with boxing gloves and a bag, which sounds like the next new Cathe gear. I don't have the Kelly C-M NYC DVD. You will have to review it for me.

Josie, I hope you like Physique 57 and I have not enabled in vain.

I don't have any Halloween candy because no one comes to our house--our driveway is a quarter of a mile long. But, I am on a panel at the Clark tonight which is sort of Halloweeny. They have an exhibit of Manet's drawings for Poe's "The Raven" and Leonard Baskin's drawings for Hughes's Crow poems. So I am the Hughes expert to field questions after the end of the readings of some of those poems and a colleague of mine is the expert on Poe. Should be interesting. I bet all of my questions will be on Plath-Hughes.

Cathy, good luck on abstinence training! It sure didn't do Sarah Palin's daughter any good.
 
woo doggies!! did ALL of drill max. what a super workout. i think STS has made me stronger, cuz i made it thru. not that is was easy by any means,but maybe a tiny bit easier than before.
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did the High Step Challenge 51 min. premix. I like this better than the full 68 minute workout which has too many step-ups for my taste.

Glad your results on STS are confidence-building Cathy. I am starting STS again on Sunday, after thoroughly reveling in my extra hour of sleep. I will have to figure out the whole week in advance tomorrow.

Hope you are feeling better, Deb. Maybe you are staying home today?

Joan, I really admire your persistence in keeping those Shock Cardios. The last two sets of pictures have really turned me off--the Athletic Step and the 40/10 or whatever that torture is called. I'm sure Aquajock will be in raptures over them.

Hi to Josie!

Have a great weekend everyone!
