Good morning RT's.
Michelle: why don't you just walk vigorously and do it maybe for 30 minutes instead? Swing your arms back and forth. That should be equivalent to the running. I also hate running. I do try and do intervals of walking/jogging, but every time I do my darn knee kills me the next day. I wear a pedometer and when I walk vigorously I burn as many calories as jogging anyway. Have a good workout whatever you decide.
Tess: Yes, I am taking the test to get certified as a Personal Trainer. I already have some clients I see one on one in my home, I haven't said alot about it since I'm not certified yet and it's "off the books" at this point. It's going well so far and I absolutely love it! So, next Friday is test day and I am flipping out because I have not been good about studying. Need good study vibes...
So, I am getting ready to go teach cardio/sculpt this morning. I teach another class tonight as well. In between I might go take a walk but that's "iffy" because I am needing to be studying. I get "antsy" and may want to get out in the sun for a while, so maybe a shorter walk today will be in store. We'll see ( it's all about procrastination, really!)
Okay, just downed my PB with 1/2 a banana. I have to go get ready and pumped for class. Have to go be motivating... another two cups of coffee should do the trick!
Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning tripward bounders. Yikes, it's getting close. I'm going to the shore a week from Friday, so right now, that is the thing I'm excited about. When we get home on the 1st, I'll be gearing up for the RT with shopping, packing etc.
I had hoped to get up early and workout again today, but when the alarm went off, I reset it and went back to sleep. Maybe I'll get home early enough from my baby shower to workout this evening. Otherwise, it will be a rest day for me.
Michelle, I'm not crazy about running either. I do it every now and then just to shake things up. Just substitute another form of cardio and you'll be fine.
Vickie, I'm sending you a crate full of good study vibes. Good luck on your test next week. Did you have to make a video of yourself or is that for another fitness type career? Seems like I remember another poster worrying about her video...
See you all in 29 days!

Goodmorning ladies! I can't believe we only have 29 days to go! I am very excited about it, but a little overwhealmed at the moment. Right now at work, I am gearing up for the Board Meeting which is on the day I leave for vacation in 2 weeks. I have a lot to pull together for that meeting - reports, financials, etc... and I will probably be putting in some long hours next week. After I am finished putting the info. together for the meeting, I'm bidding goodbye to my boss and heading on vacation to the Northwest for 2 weeks. I'll only have 4 days home from vacation before leaving for the Roadtrip. I'm excited about everything, but also running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! 
Michelle - I'm not a runner either. I prefer to stick to the elliptical machine or my bike. They are both better on the joints anyways and my joints need all the care they can get after years of hard fall while figure skating.
Vicki - Still sending you strong study vibes!
Robin - I reset my alarm this morning too. I've decided to just do the Timesavers DVD this week. I started yesterday with the first segment and I have promised myself to do a segment ever day.

Girlies! Hope you all are having a great day so far. I ended up cleaning last night for 2 hours so I'm considering that my cardio workout. This morning I did GS Biceps. No cardio tonight (unless you count swigging down pina coladas cardio!).
Wow the countdown is really on isn't it! We are just weeks away from our weekend with the fitness guru aren't we?
Liann and Michelle - I love the idea of running but it is very hard on my joints. I end up feeling very achey after about 10 minutes, or I cramp up. If I had a treadmill at home I would work up to it, but I think running outside is a lot tougher on your joints. I love walking though. My neighborhood has lots of nice hills so I get a great workout.
Vicki - That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure before I got REALLY excited for you. What a perfect way to top off your success? The ultimate achievement! You go girl...and I'm sending lots and lots of good wishes your way for your test.
Robin - so,,,,how was the haircut??
Have a great day gals.

Good Morning RTers!
Yesterday was Interval Max, and boy that's my least favorite Imax. Soooo much jumping! But, I survived and I subbed out so I only have to do it once this rotation And I did have a good laugh at Cathe's 'do and headband ;-) Today is LIC and I'm excited b/c I've only done that one once before as produced. I think it'll be nice to have a break from all that jumping!
Michelle -- My favorite short cardio workout is the premix of Intervals 6-10 of Imax 2. Just my two cents ;-)
Liann -- I read on yesterday's thread about your bunny search. I'm a bunny breeder (and in fact, I have 3 black and white bunnies right now, lol!) and I think you should contact your local 4H rabbit club for breeders to find a suitable bunny. Rabbits bought from pet stores are not as good quality and often have genetic tooth abnormalities and such. Plus the ones from breeders tend to have better personalities. Just my take on the situation, I'm sure your nephew will love the bunny no matter what!
Have a great Thursday, ladies!

Good Morning RTers!
Today I did MM upper body only and then MM abs.
Am I the only one who runs? I LOVE it, but I do have to say that I have had a few running injuries in the past couple of years. Getting old, I guess!
Tess--Congrats on the weight loss!! Must have been those Pina Coladas that you drank last night at Bunco, huh?
Vicki--I think I must love PB as much as you do. BUT, I just figured out that it was the case of my migraines. Boo Hoo! I hate to give it up!
Take care!

Liann! I forgot about you being an ice skater! I would have loved to chat with you about that last Sunday. I'll have to remember to bring the topic up during the RT.
Tess, great about the scale. Don't let those pina coladas get the best of you! The haircut turned out OK. It's pretty short, but super easy to take care of. I just have to get used to looking at it in the mirror.
Carol, that's a great suggestion about the bunny. I knew there had to be better sources than a pet store, but I wasn't sure where to send Liann. I love to look at the rabbits at the fair. Every one seems cuter than the last.
Gin, I used to run exclusively, back before step was invented. Now I'm just too old and it's hard on my joints and back.

Hey Randi, relax and get healthy. You may be hampering your recovery by trying to workout while sick. It will be over in about a week and you'll still have time to get tip top for the RT. Besides, if you go check out the threads in the RT forum, you'll see not many of us will be meeting our fitness or weight goals for the trip. We'll still have a great time.

Tess: Congratulations on your 2 pound loss!!! Way to go! Um, I looked up "Swigging Pina Coladas" and I do believe it said that the action of picking them up and bringing them to your mouth (vigorously, of course) is worth more calories than the entire BM2 DVD in it's entirety. You can look it up yourself... I think I saw that on www.inyourdreams.com ( there I go cracking myself up again!) Well, enjoy them anyway... have one for me!!!
Gin: PB... migraines... say it aint so! I have a migraine when I think about not having PB.
Randi: Just take it easy. You won't do yourself any good wearing out your body! You will be better soon enough!
Robin: I don't have to make a video of myself, but I have seen some of the certification programs that do. There are advanced certifications I want to work on when I am done with this one and I think some of them do require the video thing. I definitely want to get my "Fitness Nutritionist" certification. BTW, I can't wait to see pics of the new haircut... bet it's beautiful!
Okay, back to the studying. x(

Hi everyone,
I just returned from my parent's house. My grandmother's funeral was today. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
My workout today is ME. I really don't feel like working out right now but like others here feel like I need to for the road trip (especially since I missed yerterday's workout). Right now all I want to do is curl up in bed and go to sleep. We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll feel better if I workout.
Talk to you all later,
Jacque

Hello.
I wish I had time for personals---hopefully tomorrow. I think, technically, I could be starting tomorrow's thread!! I did LoMax plus All Blast premix. This is always one of my favorites. We met with a party planner tonight (for our wedding reception) and I got home really late. We are taking our pictures for our engagement picture tomorrow. I still have NO idea what I will wear. Whoever said planning a wedding in a matter of weeks was a good idea???
I read the blog and am SO excited about Boot Camp!!!
Have a great day tomorrow!!!!
