Morning fellow travelers.

Today is another CTX day. AllStep and shoulders, I think. But not until I get home from work a long time from now. Did anyone see Cathe's answer yesterday about making an announcement today about new products? I'm so excited, but my DH will kill me. I just got one of Tracey's new workouts yesterday and he was grumbling about "another workout!!??!!" Yesterday's eating was better than the day before, so I think today should be even cleaner. At least that's the plan. I picked up You on a Diet at the library last night. Anyone read it yet?

How did some of you come up with your usernames? I love Jimmy Buffett music and want to be buff, hence "buffettgirl."

Gotta get to work. Have a wonderful Hump Day.
 
Morning all!!!

This morning will be my first attempt at GS Chest & Tri's...I watced it yesterday...I saw all those push ups...VERY SCARY!!!

I am also looking forward to today's announcement, and like you, Bufettgirl, my DH thinks I'm nuts!

I came up with my username very similarly...My favorite band from college was named 2 Skinnee J's, and my name is Josie, and I have always been a bit on the scrawny side, so hence oneskineejosie! Hmmmmm...I think I'll listen to their CD on my way to school today, have a little 90's moment :)

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning trippers!

This morning was CTX 10-10-10. I am supposed to have first tennis class of the season tonight. Hopefully it won't get rained (or snowed) out. I was having a very non-imaginative moment when I signed up for this forum, so I won't go into that topic;)

I did not see Cathe announcement yesterday. Yeah!!! Will have to try to sneak on during work today}(

Robin-let us know how you like the "you" diet.

Josie-I'm pretty sure I couldn't do 72 pushups even on my knees. Good luck!

Everyone have a great day:D

Kara
 
Good moring trippers!

Robin have fun with CTX. All Step and shoulders! :) } I am also looking forward to today's announcement!

Josie have fun with GS Chest & Tri's! You gonna like it:) :D

Phyllis the push ups are scary in GS Chest & Tri! I can only do them on my knees! I came up with my username bayerngirl, bayern (German) means Bavaria in English. I am from Bavaria (Germany)! I was born and raised in Germany!

Kara have fun with CTX 10-10-10!

My workout for today is going to be Hard Core Extreme/ Interval Plast w/Leg premix!

Hope everyone has a great day!
Belinda
 
Good morning! One day closer to the RT!

I did GS BSB & TS #4 -such a perfect quick down and dirty sweatfest. Had some trouble getting my biceps to react to all those reps in BSB this AM.

I saw Dr. OZ on the PBS channel Sun AM. I was tempted by his offering but PBS wanted a $150 pledge. Love to hear from Robin on "You on a Diet" book. Watching did pump me into clean up my eating habits.

I'll have my eyes and ears on for the new announcement from Cathe. :7 .

Swift wind -was given to me by someone in Yellowstone. HE said I rode my bicycle to and from the dorm to the Inn very fast ( I was always running behind).
 
Good morning all...

It's me ''queen MEANIE" HAHA... still laughing over that one!

This morning I teach my cardio/sculpt class so that will be my main workout for the day since the last two days were heavy workouts for me. Tonight I will probably do 30 minute extra treadmill and some more stability ball abs. My cleaner eating commitment has been going well. It's amazing how just a few "tweaks" can make such a difference so quickly.

This afternoon I am going to have sushi at my favorite sushi place with a good friend. YUM!! ( the rice isn't so great for the "clean eating, but they have brown rice sushi and I eat very few rolls, mostly just the sushi and seaweed salad.)

Gotta go get ready for class. Have a great day all!
 
Hi RTer's!

Robin...why do our DH's give us a bit of slack on new workouts! I think they should be happy we are staying in shape...:)..Have fun with CTX and my name here is a shortened version of my name...

Josie...I am doing GS C&T too...but most likely I will do the push-ups on my knees...

Kara..I hope the weather is good for your tennis class.

Belinda...good job with HSC yesterday, I love the abs on that one.
Have fun with your HCE workout. Those are tough.

Vicki...I know I was "queenmeanie" getting my taxes finished yesterday! Good job on the clean eating...Enjoy your TM and ab workout.

Amy...I have always felt the bicep work in GS wax very taxing to those muscles! And Cathe lifts heavy in it!!

Ivory...good job doing most of the push-ups on your toes.

Shelly...hey cheetah....sounds like a great motorcycle ride with DH yesterday. I think a tattoo would be cool for you...:)

Brooke...good Kickbox workout yesterday.

Liann...can't wait to see how you like B&G's. The premixes are great.

Lorrie...I did get the taxes done yesterday. I am really going to try and get more organized for next year. Waiting this long is crazy! Your coaching job sounds tough. Hope the snow stops soon...

Jean..this will be my 1st Cathe RT.

Gin...tough workout yesterday. I'd love to go to Maui with my DH, but getting him on a plane could be interesting!

TK...that would be awful to have to start over on your taxes!! I just had some misc stuff to post and I figured out where yesterday. Good job with the Imax3 intervals and GS shoulders.

Cheryl..good job with Drillmax, I have only done that one a few times. Announcement?...I will have to go look.

Another blurb....my DH's Mom and my Mom went to High School together....:)

I am tackling GS C&T, abs, GS leg floorwork and 40 min on my Elliptical...
 
Good Morning:)
My shoulders are fried from yesterday}( So today was a little easier workout CTX All Step just abs and cardio PS legs floorwork.

Robin Have fun doing All Step also. My user name is my first and middle name:)

Amy what a great workout I love BSB I get great DOMS from that workout. Is TS Tracy Steals (sp?) Never tried any of her workouts are they as good as Cathes?

Josie CT is a awesome workout it makes me burn everytime I do it. I've had it for almost a year still cant do all the pushups on my toesx(

Kara Tennis Class that is awesome i've played tennis since I was 10. Have a good class!

Belinda HC Interval /leg premix is the only one I dread on that workout.Great job for doing that one:)

Vicki WOW! How many times a day do you workout?

Have great workouts everyone
Off to work:(
 
I did LIC - I always add the bonus cardio section two times after the back segment. This gives me a 90 minute workout. That added bonus really makes me sweat buckets!

I am also looking forward to the ANNOUNCEMNET! I keep speculating about what it might be.

Everyone have a great day. It is snowing here again and the winds are really strong. When will old man winter finally fly the coop?

Cheryl
 
Good Mid-Morning Road Trippers! I played hookie from work this morning and sneaked in a workout before coming in. I was only able to make myself do LIS. I'm still suffering from full body DOMS from Monday's workouts - shoulders are especially killing me! ;) It's a good pain though.

Robin - I was very unimaginative with my user name. It is just my middle name. A lot of my friends call me Liann instead of my first name "Amber", so I just used it. I'm really looking forward to the announcement too! My DH will kill me though if I buy anything more at the moment...

Josie - Hope you enjoyed GS-C/T. The only way I can get through those 72 push-ups is on my knees!

Kara - Have fun at tennis tonight! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have good weather. :)

Belinda - Bet you can't wait to talk to Cathe in German! When did you come to the states? (Assuming you live in the states) ;)

Vicki - Good job on the clean eating committment. I am trying really hard to stay "clean". I'll admit to eating some french fries last night though! Felt like I gained 10 lbs afterwards. :p

Amy - Love how you got your screen name!

Carole - Sounds like we are all breaking out the GS series this week! I plan to do GS-BSB tomorrow, but I will definitely be breaking out B&G on Saturday! I've already previewed it and it does look like a fun one!

My blurb for the day - My DH and I grew up on separate sides of the country. He is from WA and I was from MD. We met at college and went out once, but then I started dating someone else "exclusively". We stayed friends though and after graduation we kept in contact over e-mail. We finally had our second date (he flew out to see me) exactly 2 years after the first one. A year later he had moved from WA to MD and we were married. Five years later, we are still going strong and living in PA. Real life proof that a long distance relationship can actually work.
 
Good morning roadtrippers! I realized I never did post my workout yesterday. I did a long interval run and ended up doing 7 miles.
I followed that with BBC Arms and Abs plus cardio... woooboy that wiped me out!! Slept like a log last night:7

alot of people assume my username has something to do with the military. I am an old army brat and alot of my family members have been in the military. In fact, my brother is the current Army JAG
(Judge Advocate General) However, my username is simply one of my pets names, Trooper. I frequently use my pets names as passwords, like alot of people. The 15 I use alot too, it comes from my DH being in the Marines in Vietnam... 1st division, 5th regiment.

Back for personals:)

ShellyC
 
Hello again... time for some personals!

Josie- LOL about the Cathe tattoo... don't tempt me! Have fun with those drop sets of pushups:eek:

Robin- doing a CTX rotation? Thanks for asking about usernames... I like reading how people came up with theirs.

Phyllis- Hi! What's on your plate today for a workout?

Kara- Are you a seasoned tennis player or just now learning how?

Belinda- HCE#3 is a tough one! A real leg fryer}(

Vickie- So where did the "queenmaynie" come from? I hear you about the diet tweaking. I follow the same principles and never radically adjust my diet.... just make small changes when I see the scale climbing. Works great for me!

Amy- I figured the swifty had something to do with biking. I remember from earlier posts how much you are into it :)

Carole- That's neat about how your Mom and your DH's went to school together! You are sure a native Californian through and through!

Randi- CTX all step is a fun one!

Cheryl- I like your idea of the LIC add on, have to remember that one!

Liann- Glad you're having the "good" pain :7 DOMS does make me feel like I really accomplished something! I like your story of how you and your DH met!

TK- I don't think I ever greeted you before on your first check in here.... welcome! Glad you got your computer problem fixed. I know I'd be frantic without computer access:eek:

Jean- This will be my first Cathe RT, which I believe is the case for most of us:7

Lorrie- Sounds like being a drill team coach keeps you busy! This may be a really dumb question but what kind of drill team? Since I live in Arizona the first thing that pops in my mind are the horse drill teams that are all over the place here, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you do!

For today it'll be a max leg workout. The BBC Leg&Butt followed by
B&G leg blast premix (one of my favs) Later some work on the elliptical, or as Carole likes to abbreviate.... the EXT.

ShellyC
 
Hi Liann,

I came to the states in July 2004. We are stationed ( my husband is in the Army )in El Paso, TX x( We were stationed in Germany almost 17 years:D I can't wait to talk to Cathe in German! That is so cool! I have a German accent when I speak English. LOL! Most Germans that are coming to the states are trying to became Americans! NOT ME!!! I am married amost 24 years and I still have my German citizenship! I plan on keeping it!

Belinda
 
Hi ladies!

I am checking in with staying on plan so far this week with eating (WW points - I have used a few flex points, but hey, that's what they are there for, right?)

Workouts have been-

Today: Power Hour
Tuesday: Jari Love Ripped 1000
Monday: P90X Plyometrics
Sunday: Imax 3

Hope you all are having a wonderful week! I'll try and check in and do personals later on today if I can.

Tracy
 
Hi everyone.

This morning I did PUB and finished the HC that I was suppose to do last night.

As for my user name, I am a big day dreamer. I dream up stories and scenarios in my head alot. Also I have some of the weirdest night dreams. I wish my name was based on me looking hot and dreamy, but that's not the case. One day, maybe. At least I can dream. Ha Ha. The jeanie part is what my mom called me when I was little.

DH and I met the summer before our senior year in high school at a summer job,(Fruit dry yard where they dried apricots and peaches). I was a fruit cutter and he was a shed boy. I swear that's what they called them. He got serious too fast for me and I swore I would break up with him at the end of the summer because I knew I would never have to see him again. Obviously by the end of the summer things changed. We dated 3 years, got married and have been married for 24 year next month. See young love can last. I was 20 when we got married and he was still 19.

Jean
 
Hi Ladies ~ :)
Hope everyone is having a Great Day!!!

Tonight's workout calls for HIIT, probably do the first 5 intervals of Imax. Last night was PLB, I forgot home much I loved this DVD, I haven't done this one in a while! I finished up w/ ABX - Tony is a HOOT, makes me laugh ... LOL :)

This has been my 3rd Day on the BFL program. I am pleasantly surprised how easy it is for me. I haven't had the urge to cheat once since starting on Monday...surprising since their is Candy everywhere, our office & Home from Easter. I make sure I plan my meals each night for the next day and I think this is what has helped me!!
Today's eating;
B- 4 Egg Whites, 1 Whole Egg, W/W Toast
S- EAS lo-Carb Bar
L- Turkey Burger, green beans & brown rice
S- Strawberries & string cheese
D- Turkey cutlet, salad & Potato

Take Care -
Jennifer

Good Afternoon RTers!

Have you guys seen all that Cathe has in the works for us??? YIKES!! I better get a second job!;-) Very exciting!

Today I ran 3 miles on the treadmill and did Baron Baptiste Yoga. I usually take a yoga class on wed. morning, but instructor was sick.

Robin--Your DH sounds like mine. "What? You want more Cathe workouts?"

Carole--The plane trip to Maui was long. 8 hours from where we live, but well worth it.

My user name is what my DH calls me. My real name is Virginia.:)

Take care.
Gin
 
ShellyC... so, the "queenmaynie" came from a couple of things. I was a homecoming queen ( oh yea, way back in the day!), so my DH always calls me the queen and has my kids calling me queen also. Maynie comes from a nick name my husband started years ago and still calls me now... It started out as Shayna ( in Hebrew meaning pretty girl... and he's Irish!) then it became Shaynie, slowly became some other things, then settled at Maynie. So, "Queenmaynie". My DH has this habit of nicknaming everyone and they always evolve through the years.

Just got back from sushi... YUM!!! I did good, but looking forward to the extra treadmill tonight, you know, just for some extra burnin'

Hope you are all having a great day...
 
Hi all! I read Cathe's announcement this afternoon. How exciting. The four day split is almost exactly what I've been mish moshing for my current rotation. I have my credit card on standby...

Vicki: Well I feel a little bit better that Cheryl also thought your screen name was QueenMeanie. I'm sure you are anything but mean.:D

Josie: I have those same pushups to do tomorrow. Every time I do GS C&T I get some measure of doms. I'm just real glad she does them at the beginning just to get them out of the way.

Tracy: I'm a lifetime WWer myself. Yes, do use your flex points/activity points. You'll need them to fuel those tough workouts you have coming up!

Carole: I did have to do our taxes all over again but since my backup from last year worked it saved me a lot of time. I'm so glad it's done now.

Shelly: You are right. I was frantic without a computer. My biggest worry was that they wouldn't be able to fix my computer at all or be able to fix it in time to do my taxes again.

Regarding my screen name: It's an anagram of sorts using some letters of my first and last name. I have a little eccentricity that I don't (or very rarely) give out my real first or last name online. When we meet at the roadtrip I'll share LOL. Only a few people in my 'outside' life actually call me TK.
