Good morning!
Yes I agree. Was so simple before. I am sure once we get using it for a bit it will be like second nature and we will all enjoy the new features!!
Yesterday I had a great day shopping with DS girlfriend and her mother. Was a lot of fun. Came home a did 55 min barre workout that started of with Cathe's x10 warmup. This is one of my favorite Cathe warm up. The barre work was Suzanne Bowen. She is becoming my favorite barre instructor. Then Chester and I went for a 3 mile walk and he was a good boy.
. Today will be a heavy bag workout.
No plans for the day. Deb, what is a barn hunt? Sounds like fun anyways!
Beautiful here yesterday and today.
Have a great day!

Hi Deb, Josie, Valerie, Lori, and Judy--
This morning I did Christi Taylor's Fit to Dance (70:00).
Housemax yesterday, and I went to see "Here Is Where I Leave You." Falls into the dysfunctional family film genre, but where "August: Osage County" was grim and depressing (and way too overblown melodramatic), this one is meant to be funny, and it is some of the time. I guess I would give it a C+.
Deb, you will have to tell us how Keegan and Kelsey do in the barn hunt. "The Judge" isn't out yet, but I have seen previews and I really like both Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall, who are the leads.
Lori, I will have to look up Suzanne Bowen. I keep thinking I should go back to do some barre, and then I buy a dvd and do it once or twice and quit.
Boy, talk about a fiasco! I tried reading "The Edge of Eternity," the third installment in Ken Follett's 20th c. saga, and just gave up. It is so poorly written with gratuitous sex scenes and caricatures rather than characters. It's too bad, because the first two were sometimes very compelling, and I absolutely loved his two books on the Middle Ages: "Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End." My recommendation is DON'T BOTHER. I'm reading "We Are not Ourselves," which is pretty good so far.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. It's beautiful here.

Deb...how did you post the picture?
Going to take a while for me to get used to this.
Today I ended up doing a jessica smith youtube workout and I was pleasantly surprised. Wasn't feeling heavy bag so came across her metabolic conditioning workout that looked decent. It is 38 minutes and a lot tougher then what I anticipated. Really thought it was a great workout. Chester and I then went for a 3 mile walk. This weekend has been so nice! High 80's both days. This will end all too soon though.
Lynda...I stream her workouts and love them and her. Very down to earth. You feel like you are working out with a friend. You can try for free for a couple of days if you are interested. I signed up for a year which works out to just over $6 a month. Very affordable. I have her 2 barre amp dvd's but like her streaming better. Good to know about the movie.
Valerie...see what happens when you go away! lol. So different. We have been using the old forum for so long this new one will be a challenge for me
Have a great evening all!

Lori,
I went to the bottom where it says "Upload a file" and uploaded the picture. I didn't think it would be a thumbnail though. Maybe they will show somewhere on here how to load a real size pic in a thread. I checked the "insert" button up top here where all the icons are, but that asks you to insert an image URL which is what I do when I copy them to here from Picture Trail. I think that will still be the only way to get a larger one.

Good morning,
I could not sleep last night, typical Sunday Night Syndrome. Woke up every hour, so I got up at 3:50 and did a treadmill workout. I will be dead later.
Barn Hunt was a lot of fun. We did get to try it out after the seminar part, and the dogs liked it for the first go-round, then Kylee was bored with it because we wouldn't let the rat out of the tube so she could actually get to it.
Lori, I am on my computer. This is Barn Hunt...

Valerie, welcome back, yes this just happened (the new forum) yesterday. It will take a little getting used to. I don't mind it, I wish they would bring the blue color back though. this is pretty blah.
Lynda, great day here yesterday too, it went into the 80's. I was glad we did the 8-10 barn hunt session. It was all outside and I am sure the ones after us were roasting out there.
Hi to Judy & Josie,
Work, then class tonight,
Take care,

Hi Deb, Josie, Valerie, Lori, and Judy--
This morning I did LLA (48:33). I guess I will just have to wait and see on this new layout. I agree that it is kind of blah. I had the Cathe app on my Ipad, and now it doesn't work.
The new season of The Good Wife is definitely starting off with a bang. I have also started watching the new series, Madam Secretary, that comes on immediately before. Tea Leoni is the Secretary of State. It's pretty good.
Lori, I bought two Bowen barre dvds on Amazon. They both had great reviews. I'm just not into streaming memberships.
Another Indian Summer day here. Gorgeous!

Okay, now I'm not getting any thread notifications.... thought it was too quiet so decided to check in anyway. Yes, lori tell us how to do the pictures. I'm so lame when it comes to pics but I am probably trainable. off to do an upper body workout. the lower body got worked well last week so a couple days off is okay. we thought we'd ride sunday but the weather never cleared and by the time we realized it would stay foggy it was late and neither of us did anything but some Camper Max and Garden Max. so off to do burn sets.

Good evening ladies!
This morning I did Ruthless Wicked Lower Body. Been missing doing these in the morning so going to start them up again. This evening was burn set chest,sh and back.
Yeah the picture worked. I did exactly what you said Deb other than once it uploaded it gave me the option for thumbnail or insert. So I inserted and there it was! You can't do this from your ipad because Ipad's do not support flash.
The mirrors came out nice. Now that I can up load pictures I'll take a few more over the weekend.
Lynda...I think you will like the barre amps Dvds. I bought both of them and they got me hooked on barre and Suzanne. I love her style. Madam Secretary looks really good.
Valerie...I need to check on the notifications as I think I may not be receiving them either.
So I played around this afternoon on this new forum and was able to adjust the color a little. If you go to the upper right and click on yourself and look for preferences.
Have a great night all!

Hi Everyone,
This does take some getting used to, but I think I like it. Thanks for the tip on adjusting the color, Lori.
Yesterday DH and I went for a short mountain bike ride and today I ran/walked almost 4 miles. I also did Horizontal Conditioning this morning. That is a tough workout, I need to be more consistent with it. I felt like I had never done it before my core work kind of fell by the wayside over the past month and I can feel it.
The weather has been beautiful for the past few days, it got up to 80 today. Now it's going to start getting colder.
Deb-great job on the treadmill workout! That is early-I don't think I've ever started a workout before 4 am.
Lori-I'm going to look up Suzanne Bowen too.
Lynda-I still buy a lot of DVDs. Even though I have streaming, it's been hard for me to get into it. I will eventually start using it more.
Valerie-Burn sets is on my list for this week too. I love that workout.
Hi to Josie!

Good morning!
I am off tomorrow. so the day isn't so bad. Meeting again with the financial guy at the bank, so he can tell us what it would be like if I retire, financially. I did tell my boss yesterday that I am considering retiring, and about the meeting at the bank. I think he was in shock.
Lori, Great workout area! OK...I will have to try another picture. I don't remember them asking about what kind you wanted. Thanks for the tip on the preferences. I changed the colors back to "Cathe's Classic Blue, it "feels more like home"... Funny, it changes the forum posts, but the top of the screen is still that peachy orange.
Lynda, I am so envious of those that can watch the new season of The Good Wife, I need to wait a year or so until it's on Amazon. When did it actually start? I may have to finally figure out how to tape with my antenna and TV with the VCR LOL. I have the instructions somewhere.
Valerie, If you click on your name and avatar in the upper right, I think it has a drop down for "alerts" and you should be able to check off that you want e-mail alerts.
Judy, Nice job on the ride and walk! I haven't done HC in a while, and like you said, I bet it will be like I never did it.
Hi to Josie,
Work then home to ..it was a long class last night.
