Happy Sunday and welcome to a new week! :) I am just getting us started for the new week so we have a place to check-in. Have fun and enjoy your food and workouts this week. :7 I am looking forward to a fun cardio workout this morning. I am craving dancy hi-lo. See y’all later.

Robin, welcome back! I missed you! I am glad you enjoyed your vacation, and I hope you feel better soon.

Randi, did you see the definition in Cathe’s legs?! I still have a personal preference for capris or pants, but her legs do look good! She wore shorts in the right workout because it will be good to see the muscles working in that heavy premix. I hope you foot feels better soon. Please take care of that cut so it does not get infected.

Hugs to Liann, Lara, Laura, Tess, Vicki, Michelle, Carolyn, and any other Road Trippers who visit this thread. :) Feel free to jump in anytime! ;-)

Blessings,
Heather B.

Good Morning PYGFOers!

Today I did IMAX3 and then SM#2.
DH and I went to wedding last night and that chocolate groom's cake sure did look good!:9 But, we left before they even cut the cake, so didn't have a piece!:-(
I am starting to wonder if Cathe is going to have a RT this year?!?!:-(

Heather--Thank you for starting our thread. What is your favorite hi/lo? SJP?

Hi to all other PYGFOers!
Have a great day!
Off to shower and church.
Gin:)
 
I made it through 4DS LIS circuit premix! I was favoring my foot a little but I made it! Just got done cleaning the whole house! Yes I got it over with:)
Gin great job with your workout today. Arent you glad you didn't have a piece of cake?! sort of kind of!:)
Randi
 
Does anyone know of a good product to help an oily face b/4 putting makeup on By the end of the day may face is so oily even on my eye lids that my makeup gets into my eyes and it burns so bad. It SUCKS!. Also I might just need some eye makeup for sensitive eyes
TIA

PYGFO Sisters:

This was a delightful and worshipful Sunday. I was craving dancy hi-lo again this morning, so I enjoyed Kari Anderson’s DanceWorks. Fun, fun, fun! Kari is the queen of dancy hi-lo. This workout makes me feel so graceful and beautiful. The background exercisers are professional dancers. It took a few minutes for me to find this workout until I remembered that Kari’s older titles are still on VHS. I upgraded my Cathe collection to DVD last year, and I do not usually open my video cabinet. I wish Kari would put this one and Classic Cardio on DVD.

The worship music was awesome and inspiring this morning. Our worship pastor has won Dove awards for several of his musicals, and this one should be a contender. It is a powerful and moving musical on the Father heart of God with video clips from The Passion of the Christ and other movies. “The Great Adventure” is one of my favorite songs and a fun way to start a Sunday.

I rested and relaxed this afternoon, went to HEB for fruits and veggies, packed my meals and snacks for tomorrow, and recharged for a new week. I feel so free in this peaceful place in my journey. I am having fun and loving my life right now.

Gin, I knew I was missing someone in my greeting this morning! I am so sorry! How could I forgot my Texas PYGFO sister?! It would not surprise me if Cathe decides to skip the Road Trip this year, but I believe she wants to have one if possible. STS is a huge project! I want to attend the next Road Trip when and if Cathe has another one, and I will be fine if that is next year. Step, Jump, & Pump is my favorite Cathe hi-lo workout. I venture outside my Cathe collection for dancy hi-lo. I love Kari and Christi. Their workouts are dancy and fun but not as intense. I am enjoying Cathe during the week and lighter workouts on the weekend.

Randi, my skin is dry and sensitive. I cannot help you with the oily part, but Almay is made for sensitive eyes. I just started wearing Maybelline Define-a-Lash mascara and love it. No problems at all (even when wearing contacts). It comes in a lime green tube with blue trim and is very natural looking with no clumps. I like the waterproof formula so I do not sweat it off, and the brownish black is dark enough for me. I use Almay gentle eye make-up remover for sensitive eyes.

Tess! I am excited about your concert tickets. I love, love, love 80s music. I have had “Father Figure” stuck in my head since I read your post last night. The Faith album was a favorite in high school. Is he still a hottie?

Blessings,
Heather B.

Hello.

Today has been a busy day! I started off with BMax 2 Bootcamp and added the upper body weights and abs on again. That was a fun workout! It was my first time to try that premix. I ate lunch with my mom and then went grocery shopping (2 stores). Then I tried out my new KitchenAide mixer (we got it as a wedding gift, but I haven't used it until now). We made chocolate chip cookies for a bake sale we are having at work to benefit the March of Dimes. Then I started cleaning out the spare bedroom. It is really my closet. I can't fit my clothes or shoes in my closet (and I also use half of DH's). I don't think I will ever get that room organized!! Now I am relaxing for a few minutes before bed.

Gin...You are so good to pass up chocolate cake!! I don't think I could have done it!

Randi...Glad you were able to make it through your workout. I hope your foot is better. My face tends to get oily also, especially in the summer. I have tried several different products, but I haven't found one that I am in love with. I think my face doesn't get as oily when I use mineral foundation and loose powder.

Heather...It sounds like you had a nice Sunday. I have never tried Christi, but I do like Kari. I haven't done one of her step workouts in forever though.

I can't beleive it is Monday already. The weekends go too fast!! Tomorrow is a long work day. I doubt I will get to workout when I get home b/c the basketball game will be starting. DH and I will be watching basketball!
 
Good Morning:)
I can't seem to sleep after 4am! Don't even have to be at work till noon haaaaaa! My workout for this morning is Imax 3 and abs. I might do all the blast first then step combos not sure though}( My toe is feeling better so i't will make my workout a little easier. I only use bare essentials for my eyeshadow and foundation. Heather thinks for the tip on Almay product, I'll have to try it. I have both oily and acne prone skin. 3 years ago I started using proactive and my skin looks great..but I had to find an alternative because it was getting so expensive. So I found Acne Free it is suppose to be as good as proactive but I don't think it's helping the oil very well. I might want to try another kit such as, Neutrogena or Clean and clear. It's so frustrating!!
Heather Glad you had a great day at church! I love Kari she is so upbeat and motivating I just have Step Formula her older workout.
Lara Great workout I'll bet you will be sore tomorrow}( Hope you have a good day. I Hate long workdaysx(
Randi
 
Goodmorning PYGFOers. I did PUB yesterday after work. I'm hoping to do a step workout later today, after some housework. I'll try to get back for personals later. Have a good Monday.
 
I finished Imax 3 blast first then combos and tackled ankle weight only workouts from Legs and glutes. My legs are fried}(
Have a good day

Good morning ladies! Yesterday, I did a three mile run and Push/Pull again. I had intended to do Imax 2 over the weekend, but that didn't happen, so I will try and pull that one out tonight. Stepped on the scale yesterday and found that I had gained 5 lbs... I know I shouldn't worry about the scale too much, but I was already 5 lbs over what I was last year at this time, so now I'm 10 lbs over what I was last year! :( I was supposed to lose another 10, not gain. I haven't been weighing myself and now I wish I had so I could have nipped this in the bud. Looks like I will be cutting out the occasional sodas and all the candy, donuts, etc... I have been eating "in moderation" the past few weeks. I'm so annoyed at myself. >:l
 
Hi everyone. I hope everyone is having a great day so far. I am feeling good. Finally over my cold, thank goodness. This morning I did cardio coach #4 on the treadmill and back work. Yesterday was KPC and chest.

Heather - George Michael is still hot as ever although I look at him a little differently now that I know he is gay. Is that wrong? Anyway, his voice is amazing. I bought his new 3 disc CD set and I've been listening to it non-stop. :)

Gin - way to go on not having any cake! Hope you are doing good.

Robin - Our scrabulous board is so messed up! The whole left side of the board is unplayable. How did that happen? Heheh.

Liann - Hopefully your new gym setup will inspire you to lose those 10 lbs. That is aweseome that you ran 3 miles yesterday. I hope you're loving your TM!

Randi - Great job on Imax 3!

Lara - your chocolate chip cookies sound wonderful!! :9

Hello to anyone I missed. Have a great day!
 
PYGFO Sisters:

This was a fun Monday! Yes, it was. I am loving the freedom I am experiencing now. To my delight, I am discovering that 4 years and 9 months of this fitness journey has firmly established a lifestyle. I love and look forward to my workouts, and my eating is naturally 80 percent clean. I had a blast with 4-Day Split Kickbox cardio this morning and wrapped up my workout with the Butts and Guts leg blast premix. I want to revisit Cardio and Weights in the morning unless something else is calling my name.

It is fun to see Cathe posting in the forums again. I was meeting with clients and missed most of her chat this morning, but I popped in during my lunch hour to see her before she left for editing. I am so looking forward to seeing more blog pictures and reading her updates about filming and editing.

I went to the club after work for Rachel’s water aerobics class. I left the office early to run an errand and actually made it to class on time for a change. It was not as intense tonight, but it was relaxing.

Lara, it sounds like you had a fun day. I need to clear clutter from my closets too, so we can tackle that project together. I love Kari’s encouragement to find workouts that give you joy!

Randi, what do you do for a living? I hope you had fun with IMAX3. I love the step choreography in that one. Fun, fun, fun!

Robin, which step workout did you enjoy today?

Liann, hugs to you. I am sorry the scale is not being kind. Please do not be too hard on yourself. You are fit and beautiful no matter what lies that darn piece of metal tries to tell you!

Tess, Cathe confirmed today that the vest she is wearing only weighs 10 pounds, but she is designing a sleek and contoured 20-pound vest similar to that one. I am thinking about ordering adjustable ankle weights that can be linked together to create a 10-pound belt. I prefer the look of Cathe’s vest. Most of them look like bullet-proof police vests! I am glad you are feeling better.

Blessings,
Heather B.

Hello.

This Monday has gone fast! I got home from work around 7 and had enough time to take my dog for a 30 minute walk and shower before the game started. I had to do paperwork during the first half. That game was so exciting! I can't believe KU came back from 9 down with 2 minutes left. What a game!

Randi...Sounds like a tough workout! I have tried the blasts only premix from IMAX 2, but never from IMAX 3!! I am scared of that one!! Sorry you can't sleep. I am with you on that right now. I am just glad I still feel energetic. I had better enjoy it while it lasts!!

Robin...I always love PUB! It always kills my chest, shoulders, and biceps. I hope you enjoyed your step workout!

Liann...I need to join you in cutting out all of the sweets that I have been eating--- "in moderation", of course;-) It did not help that I had to bake for the bake sale we had. Then I also bought some of the other cookies!! Now I have no bakes, chocolate chip, and about 5 boxes of Girlscout cookies in my house!! I am glad the batteries on my scale are out!!

Tess...I am so glad you are over your cold. I hope you are enjoying your new CDs!!

Heather...It sounds like you had a great workout today! I hope it doesn't take you as long to clean out your closet as it is going to take me:) I am afraid mine could be the never-ending project!! I am also interested in purchasing Cathe's vest. I definitely don't have room for a squat rack right now. Maybe when we move into a bigger house.

I am hoping to get in a long workout tomorrow. It is suppose to be stormy here tomorrow, and sometimes that makes me lazy! Have a great Tuesday!!
 
Good Morning Ladies!!!
It's 4:30 am I'm getting ready for work. I have a short day today, only work till noon YIPPEE! I work for my uncle's fathers company as a receptionist. Pete and Mac's a pet resort. Heather there is actually one in Texas, Los Colinas. Also Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona. And a whole lot more is in the plans!! Our website is petemac.com for more info on it.
Lara GO KU!! Ouch I'm feeling it in my legs today! It was a great workout the blast first is not that bad but I tackled on L&G ankle weight work I think that's why i'm feeling it!
Today is KickMax plus CM #2
Heather KB plus the Leg blast dang girl I bet your sore too!!
Hi Tess, Liann, Robin, Carolyn, and Gin!!
Have a great day everyone
Randi
 
Hello.

Today was stormy, and I really just wanted to come home and take a nap, but I worked out instead. I did 4DS KB/BC cardio and then B&G. I was happy I decided to workout rather than sleep. Hopefully, I will sleep well tonight!
I am still dreaming like crazy. Everyone is asking us if we think we are having a boy or a girl. When we first found out, we both thought we were having a girl. Then I had 2 dreams and both times we had a baby boy. I also had 2 dreams later on that I had a girl that was a toddler. Last night, I dreamed at our ultrasound, the nurse told us we were having a girl. What does all of this mean? I am done guessing!! I can't wait until our ultrasound on Monday so we will finally know!!

Randi...I had a short workday today also. I was done at 3. Tomorrow is another 12 hour day though :( I will have to look that pet resort up. I love animals and love to see what people are doing for them. Maybe one day I will try the blast only premix from IMAX3!

Have a great Wednesday!
 
Good Morning
Lara great workout 4ds kb/bc plus all of B&G DANG!! I can't wait to find out what you are having either. Maybe you're having twins one boy and one girl LOL!
I'm getting ready for GS chest and tris
Have a great day everyone!!
Randi
 
Good morning ladies! I had good intentions to start the Gym Styles series last night, but I just wasn't up to it. Settled for segment 2 of core max. It's been a busy week at work and I have been putting in 10 hour days, so I think that is starting to wear on me. I plan to get in another 3 mile run tonight and if I get my new Jump Snap in the mail, I might try that out too. My pants are feeling pretty good today, so hopefully that 5 lbs will disappear as quickly as it came. So far, I've been really good with the eating this week (fingers crossed).

Tess - Glad to hear that you finally kicked that cold! :)

Heather - I missed Cathe on the forums too.

Lara - Can't wait to hear what you are having! :) Way to go on fighting the urge to take a nap and working out instead. I'm not sure I would be as strong. ;)

Randi - GS Chest & Tris was what I had planned to do yesterday. If I can muster up the strength for those push-ups, I may slip that in tonight before the TM run.

Hope you all have a good hump day!
 
Hello.

I didn't get to workout today:( I didn't get home until 7 and then we started watching American Idol. It started at 630 so we re-wound it on TiVo. We only got to watch about an hour of it b/c we had lots of severe storms in our area and the weather was on every channel. It sounds like we will have storms all night and tomorrow. I am ready for the sun to come back!!

Randi...I know, it was a long workout yesterday. I am glad I was able to do it all since I missed today. Oh man, twins?!?!LOL..That is what DH said after I told him about all of my dreams! I really think there is just one baby, but we would definitely have our hands full!! I am thinking of doing one of the GS arm workouts tomorrow. C&T always makes me sore!!

Liann...I saw the posts over in the OD about the Jump Snap. It looks like it would be a great workout. Did you get yours today? Please let us know what you think of it. It looks like it would be perfect for traveling. I hope you enjoyed your run!

I need to go do some more paperwork before bed. I think I am also going to have a snack. I seem to want something to eat every night around this time. I usually grab fruit, but not always!
 
Well, no workout for me last night either. DH and I had a little tiff on Monday and we finally got over it yesterday and he took me out on a dinner date. :) I will be making up for it tonight with my run and a segment from Gym Styles.

Lara - I got the jump snap yesterday and had hoped to try it out last night, but didn't get the chance. I'll definitely test it out tonight and let you know what I think. :) First impression is that it is really "cute". I think it will be great for travel too. :)
 
Hi everyone. Hope everyone is doing good. This week I've been focusing on cardio and doing 1 body part per day. This morning I did a 1 hour walk with my neighbor and tonight I will do biceps and triceps. Tomorrow is leg day. I'm thinking I'll do GS legs timesaver premix or 4ds legs.

Lara - how is the weather now? Hope all is OK. We watched most of the AI special last night but it was hard to sit still for that long.

Liann - the jumpsnap sounds neat. Glad you got to go on a nice date with your hubby.

Hello to everyone else!
