Hey all. Is it true? Are we really going to get some sun this weekend?

Rest day today. My chestmuscles are talking to me a little from C/T.

Jennifer, what happened at the hospital?

Shelley, I'm impressed - running and DM!! What were your recent injuries? did I miss that from a previous post?

Robin, what are you cooking us for dinnier? ;)

Liann, I've gotten a couple of things at WalMart also. I haven't had much luck with bras though. I bought a Danskin brand bra there and I don't like it. It's not supportive enough. What type did you get? I do like Champion.

Have a great day all.

BG today for me :)

Phyllis- did you get your Danskin from the bra section, or where the other workout clothes are? I get the Danskin from the bra section, I love the support it gives me. They come in all kinds of colors, and the cups are lined.

Hope everyone has agood day:)

Michelle

Good Morning RTers!

I have missed posting the last few days.
Today was L&G. Not as tough as last week's B&G Leg Blast.
Short post . Gotta run to school.

Hello ladies! I finally have a free night to hit the gym with my newly purchased Cardio Coach workouts. I downloaded them to my ipod last night and I am ready to hit the Elliptical machine. :) I've been struggling with my eating this week. I do great during the day, but at night I have a hard time. Working at a restaurant with rolls sitting in front of me all night doesn't help! Last night, they kept messing up the appetizers (they were good, just didn't look good), so we had all these apps in the back that I kept snacking on when I would walk past. The temptation is horrible!!! :(

Phyllis - They are Danskin, but not the flimsy ones. They did have flimsy ones there too, but these have a lot more substance to them - strong spandex, fully lined, and shaped really cute to be form flattering rather than just a boring old sports bra (looks a little like Cathe's top in butts and gutts without the rest stripe). I am tempted to go back and get even more now. I've been all over the place - Kohls, TJ Max, Penney's, Sears, etc... and these are still the best sports bras that I have found. Maybe Wal-Mart ordered them by accident. ;)

Hi Michelle! I was just looking at your avatar and you look JUST like my sister Vickie! Same hair and eyes!

Josie - Good luck with your tests! Only a few more weeks to go! :D have fun with GS Legs tonight.

Belinda - Enjoy GS Legs! Maybe I will pull that one out tonight too. Seems to be popular today. :)

Hi Gin! L&G is a fun workout. :)
 
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a great day. I am feeling a little groggy this morning. I think I had a little too much wine last night. :)

Phyllis - I sure hope we get some sun this weekend. I desparately need to do some yard work and the weather just hasn't been great to do it.

Michelle - I have B&G on schedule for this week. I haven't done it yet so wish me luck.

Josie - I bet you are so excited for school to be done. Sounds like you need a break. I just bought the GS set and they are in my rotation a few weeks from now. I'm anxious to try them.

Belinda - Thanks. I had a great time last night. I ate a lot of cheese and drank too much wine haha.

Gin - Good morning my step-impaired buddy! :)

Liann - I love love cardio coach. Get ready to have a blast with them. If I worked in a restaurant with yummy rolls I think I'd have a tough time too. That is a tough one.

Vicki - How's the peanut butter going? I have a little with my bagel every morning and I think of you. :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Yesterday was my rest day but today will be PS CST and 30 minutes of cardio.

Tess
 
Liann and Belinda - thanks!!! I just finished one test and have over an hour until my next one, so I have plenty of time to get in any last-minute information and relax a little bit as well. I study every day, so I don't have to cram, but I still feel the need to make absolutely SURE I am prepared! I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my grades, I suppose! I wouldn't be able to stay away from the food either, I guess that's why I can't work in a restaurant...occupational hazard!!!

Tess - I AM ready for a break! Last year I took 4 summer classes, but I'm not going to take any this year and I'm just going to work more and, of course, go on the roadtrip :D :D :D
I just got the GS DVD's a couple of weeks ago and I've only done them once each but WOW! They are intense...just what I needed to kick my butt (literally and figuratively)You're going to love them, I'm sure! Glad you had a good time last night :)

Josie
 
Liann- your sister is one good looking woman;-) Thank you for the compliment. The workout bras you are talking about are my favorite also, they hold the girls very nicely!


Michelle
 
Hey, this must be a Legs day!! The other day was Imax for everyone (well, not for me), and today everyone is doing one of a variety of legs: Belinda and Josie on GS legs, Gin on L&G, and I did Leaner Legs.

I was really proud of myself. I used a 30 pound bar (Cathe uses a 35 pound bar). I have had a long row to hoe in the leg department, coming from the FIRM. With their recommended 3, 5 and 8 pound dumbbells, you think you're doing well to heft 16 pounds for squats. Enter Cathe. Hah!!

I remember starting with Power Hour, my first Cathe weights workout. I forget what I used for squats, but on the lunges I couldn't use ANY weight.

I have come a long way!! (And I was in shape back then, too.)

I've been working lately to beef up the weight I use on legs. I can consistently match what Cathe uses on the videos for arms (except not the on your toes push-ups) but I'm way behind on legs. I was doing her "happy dance" after my workout today!!

Yee Haw!!

:)
 
By the way, Shelly, I think it is so cool that your sister was a missionary in Africa, too. Yes, you do have some idea of what it's like for me. I'd love to hear more! Where was she? What was she doing? If you don't want to post it all, send me a PM if you're willing.

I myself will share a little more about "my life in Africa" in later posts.


:D
 
Good morning ladies,

I did step portion of cardio and weights and then will do 1/2 of IMAX2. I am also trying to incorporate one Crossfit exercise into my workout today I am going to try to do some Smith maching hanging pull ups as I can't do one regular pull up. Let's see how many I can do on Smith Machine.

Nutrition

B two slices of toast/pb, 1 apple
S 1oz if sunflower seeds (love them...must resist them)
L lean cusine, veggie of day
S
D Networking event at fancy restaurant...UH OH


Phyllis and Michelle --TJ Maxx, Marshall's and BigLots are my staples for workout bras. They got a new Victoria Secret workout bra (with cups) for 10.00 at Marshall's.

Josie-- Good luck with tests

Liann-- I have been wanting to try one of those Cardio Coaches but have to wait for my 16 year old neighbor to come over to explain how it all works. She's a computer/ipod WHIZ.


KIM
 
Hey RoadTrippers ~ :) How is everyone?

Tonight is LBWO, probably follow Pyramid or do free weights, but this usually gets really boring....need my Cathe fix for the day...:)

Eating has been going well, Saturday will be end of W2 on BFL. I only cheating once yesterday, with all the running around I snacked on some of my son's Combo's ( I guess I should really start keeping bars in the car for times like this, oh well ).

Phyllis - Can you believe we are going to finally see some sun around here, it's looking pretty miserable here today though.
The CT scan went fine, Thank you for asking. His doctor provided him with a brace that he will need to wear until further notice. I am hoping the results will be back sometime tomorrow and then I guess we go from their. I will let you know what happens. Enjoy your rest day, I hear one calling my name also.... :p

Michelle - Have fun w/ BG today, this is one I do not have yet....heard it was great!

Josie - Don't you just love GS Legs? This one gets me evertime, I love it!! Good Luck on your tests today!

Belinda - Have a Great Day - Enjoy GS Legs...:)

Liann - I don't know how you do it, I would have NO self-control if I worked in a Restaurant! Warm hot rolls is a weakness for me... I really have to purchase Cardio Coach, I have been hearing so many great things about them, but I guess I need a Treadmill...:) I guess I could always drag my butt to the gym though.

Gin - Have a Great Day & workout!

I hope everyone has a great day! I will BBL to finish personals.

Take Care ~ :)

Tess - You lucky girl! Getting to go to a cheese and wine party. Although I think I read somewhere else that it ended up being a jewelry party? My work friends and I are really into wine ;). We have been having monthly get togethers where we all bring a different bottle of wine and snacks and have an all night "wine" tasting. It's a blast, but I had to miss the last one due to working. :( Have fun with PS CST today!

Josie - Hope the second test went well!

Michelle - I think my sister is very pretty, so it was definitely a compliment! :) I still can't get over how much that picture looks like her too. And she was married to a cop for years!

Laura - I've been beefing up the weight on the legs too. I was pretty wimpy with the weights I was using previously. And oh do I know the happy dance well! I did it the first time I did Imax 2. ;) Look forward to hearing more about your life in Africa!

Kim - I'll let you know if the Cardio Coaches are worth it after my workout today. Everyone raves about them, so I assume they must be worth it. :)

Jennifer - Keep us updated on your son! The rolls temptation is killer! Especially since they come with this honey cinnamon butter that is to die for. They make the rolls right in front of me too, so I have to watch them roll out the dough, cut it, bake it, and pull it fresh out of the oven! It's torture!!! ;)

Not sure what workout I am going to do at home tonight when I am done at the gym. I really hate doing weights at the gym with all those body builders there (most of them are sweethearts, but still intimidating), so I think I will do one of Cathe's total body workouts at home after doing cardio at the gym. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Hi all, I'm just doing a quick checkin today. Don't have time to put a lot of thought to personals (please forgive me!). Today was All-Step followed by GS Triceps. Tomorrow is CTX kickbox followed by the dreaded GS Chest. Saturday will finish my 4 week CTX style rotation. Still haven't figured out what my next rotation is going to be. I'll have to check out Cathe's rotations to see if I can get any ideas.

Re: the weather. I started my vegetable garden indoors from seeds a few weeks ago. I've been putting off putting the little plants outdoors for fear they'd freeze to death. My snap peas plants are so big that they've started growing up the hanging plant above them. They gotta get outdoors before they take over my whole house.

Re: workout bras. This week I bought two new ones so I canned two old ones. I did have to laugh at myself in the dressing room. I'd try one on, then I hopped up and down about 10 times, then tried the next, hopped 10 times, etc. Good thing there wasn't anyone else nearby. The two that passed the hopping test came home with me. Let's just hope they pass the Cathe test too!
 
Liann - yes it was a jewelry party disguised as a wine and cheese party. I bought a nice pair of earrings and watched all the ladies go gaga over $70+ costume jewelry. :) Still had fun though.

RE sports bras. I love the Champion seamless double dry bras. They definitely pass the high impact test and are so comfy.
 
Evening ladies!

I too am thrilled about good weather coming this weekend. It's about time!

I did legs today as well, Timesaver #5. It was REALLY hard for me. I don't know if I just had a bad workout day or what; but I had a harder time with this than MEANER LEGS!!! Anybody else or is it just me???

Hope you all had a great day!

Kara
 
Good Evening:)
Tonight I did Back. Gym Style, MM, BM2. I am not use to working in the morning so I am real tired. My legs are fried from yesterdays workouts! Have a good night everyone!
Great workouts Ladies
Randi
 
Just finished Imax2. I really like that workout. Sooo much fun. I just love the music.

Off to get some dinner. I feel like there isn't a single appetizing thing to eat on the planet right now.

Have a great day everyone.
 
Whew! I just had to let you all know that I survived my tests and did all of GS legs for the first time. Um....OUCH!!!! It just never lets up!!! My legs were shaking by the end, but I am so happy I actually did the whole thing w/ no breaks and survived!!! I just had to share...
Josie:)
