Hey Vilma! Did you see that link for the kettlebell workout I had in yesterday's thread?
I feel a little better but I'm not sure which workout or for how long I'm going this morning. I'm inclined to try High Step Challenge since it just looks fun.

Rest day for me, too! I'll do some stretching/yoga later, I'm sure, but this morning I just needed to stay in bed -- it felt great!! I think I'm going to try to have my rest day always fall on Monday from now on.... 
Hottie, I missed your kettlebell link -- I'll go back and check it.
It's supposed to be hot here again this week, darn it, but right now I'm looking at a bunch of glorious fog!
Have a great day!

So I just did most of the High Step Challenge but my head started hurting so I walked away from it. For a first try, it was definitely interesting. I liked the third circuit the best and I just find the high step adorable (yes, adorable), but I think I like some of the other Cathe Circuit workouts more. But we'll see -- it definitely looks like the kind of workout to grow on you. It's very fast moving!
Oh, I hope my head stops hurting soon. I was hoping to maybe get some kind of more constant aerobic in before going into work but that may not happen...

Hi all
Hope you all are having a great day...Hottie I hope you head feels better.
I've been MIA for a few days. I took a few days off from working out. I had an Dental Xray Certification course to take Fri and Sat. I think I passed. I will know in a couple of weeks.
Today I did Step Blast. I like that one. It is so much fun starts out kind of easy and then she throws in THE CHALLENGE!!!
Just wanted to stop by and say hello Joanne I hope all is going well for you and Caitlyn.

Happy Monday!!
The weekend went well here. NO headache, and my toe is getting better. Though at the end of the 12 hours, I'm really limping again & the thing is swollen up like a snausage (I hate that feeling!!). Sunday I ended up going in and having to "float" to another unit. I knew it was my turn since May, and every weekend I get all anxious about if I'll be going and where to. It's hard to go to an unfamiliar floor ,where they do things differently. Plus a different specialty. So last night was my night. I went to an Orthopedics Unit. It wasn't bad, because none of mypatients were ortho patients! But I did have some surgical one. The only difficult part is when the surgeons come in first thing in the morning and start DRILLING you about the patient. Always makes me feel so dumb. And I got an early morning admission, that was quite sick, and I ran my ass off the last 2 hours. But it's OVERRRRR!!
I'm going to start your rotation today, Beth...So I'll be doing Muscle Max. Tomorrow I have to take my mom for a doctor's appt., so I plan on SOME of IMAX, (probably modified off of Step), but not all. I won't have time....
Vilma: Your workouts today sound great! (considering we're doing one of the same ones). It sounds like you have a new enthusiasm for workouts. Esp. with the new KB's!!
Hottie: HSC does move FAST! It feels different on the smaller step, doesn't it? I forget what the 3rd section is? ... Sorry you've been feeling under the weather. I can relate to you on the headache thing. I swear, mine are partially hormonal and they don't go away for crap. And i"ve done the same thing ..... eat entirely crazy because nothing else seems to help, and eating is enjoyable at least! Hope yours goes away STAT!
Lori: Hey stanger! Was wondering where you went off to! Are you getting into Dental Hygiene? I had no idea! That's a great job, pays awesome! Step blast IS a blast!! Until the non stop "blasts" in the end! you're like "HA!!!!! Enough Already!!!"
Vilma: I have typed out a huge post of personals before, and hit a stupid stray button on my computer and it DISAPPEARS! HATE THAT!!! Ugh!
Okay, off to get my workout started...

Hi Chicas (Girls)
I hope everyone is doing good! Today I did LIC and it was fun! I’m going to do my own rotation for this month, a lot of cardio though! I will be doing cardio 6 days a week and add some weights every other day. I want to see what I can achieve with this rotation. I didn’t do a layout of the workouts that I will be doing because I will be just choosing what I feel like doing that day.
Vilma: Enjoy your workout! J
Hottie: I hope you feel better soon. My DS (who is 2 now) has been running a fever for 2 days now.
Iris: LOL! You are too funny!! I hope you enjoy your rest day today! J
Beth: Enjoy your rest day! It’s hot over here today too! It was so nice last week and now it’s back to hot weather.
Kathy: Enjoy your workout today!
Lori: WTG on your workout! SB is fun! Let us know how you did on your exam J
Well, I’m off to get my DD from school now. OHH! The other day I got Dove’s Bodies DVD #4 and I can’t wait to get it. I hope you all have a great day today! I’ll BB tomorrow. I won’t be working since DS has a fever, but he doesn’t look like it. He has lots of energy J

I know this sounds weird, but I hate some unexpectedly high Karma on the road. I never dropped below 60mph on the freeway and I got to park on the first level because a car was leaving my lot (I don't get to park on the first level at 7:05 usually). And though I was happy with my karma, all I could think about that something bad was going to come...dude, I wish I never was a stock trader (that's how I supported by then fiancee when he was in grad school) because I keep up way too much with the financial market and I can't believe that I'm actually scared. 700 points. Even if the government works again on a bailout that will eventually pass, a lot of damage has been done...

Okay let me start again. This time I’m working in Word then I’ll cut n paste.
MuscleMax was completed early this morning, then the mail lady came and my Lauren dvd was there so of course I had to pop that one in and worked with that one too. I think I’ll be feeling both workouts when I get up in the morning.
So onto personals Once More….
Hottie
I looked at your link this am after you mentioned it. That dvd is still a preorder I believe, as I have seen it talked about over at VF.
Since I’m just starting w/ the kettle bells I’m not sure what to think about it. I figured I’ll let the seasoned KB’ers review it before I decide what to do about that dvd.
As it is I already have Lauren Brook’s dvd here ( that was so fast since I ordered it late Friday night and I already got it here) and I just finished the workout and boy am I a sweaty mess.
Plus I have 2 more kettlebell dvds on there way which will make it a total of 3 so I'm sure they'll keep me busy for quiet a while. Thanks
HSC is a good circuit workout and one I enjoy doing.
I hope your headache goes away soon.
Beth
Enjoy your rest day . BTW did you receive Lauren’s dvd yet? I can’t believe it got to me so quickly.
It’s a nice workout and I was able to do a squat catch without the bell dropping. Yay me
Lori
Glad to see you posting again. I’m sure you enjoyed your rest days.
Good Luck on your certification.
Kathy enjoy cleanmax
Chris
Glad you can now enjoy your long weekend
When I worked I hated floating from different units.
I agree I got my enthusiasm back as I was sorely lacking in it. Getting into kettlebells has sparked my interest as I was always curious about why everyone raved so much about them and I just never ‘got it’.
Now I get it
It definitely brings my HR up while I feel my abs and the rest of my body getting worked. I really can’t wait to get my other bells as working with the 15# is a bit light for some of the moves now that I used the dvd.
Ivy
Hey there well sometimes following your own thing is better. LIC is fun!
I think I got everyone and my youngest just got home which means I need to go and get my son from practice then dinner and so on and so on
Have a great day everyone!

Vilma, let me get this straight.... you did MM and then Lauren's kettlebell workout? Wow! Lauren's dvd was just mailed to me today, but given that it's coming from southern CA, I suppose there is a small chance I may get it tomorrow, but maybe not til Wednesday. I'm so ready to try a workout! You mentioned in a pm that I should take a class if there's an instructor nearby -- you're probably right, but since I am intimidated by that sort of thing, I'm going to try with the dvds and see how it goes. I did order one bell from perform better, but got the other at play it again, so it's already in my hot little hands.
Chris, I felt such pressure when you said you started my rotation. Hope you like it! I think I'll hit mm tomorrow, though I am tempted by my new pyramids, not to mention the bells!
Hottie, Chalean is Chalene Johnson's upcoming heavy weight workout series called Chalean Extreme (from Beachbody). I'm pretty sure I will get it, but maybe I'm just going to be a kettlebell nut from now on.

Crap crap CRAP!
I guess the cooties finally caught us. My youngest came home with a whopping headache and a fever. Fack! Now things are screwed up for tomorrow bringing my mom to the doctor.....
Anyways, got MM done! (minus the static lunges) . Felt WORKED and my toe was a bit sorer (2 , 12 hour nights did it!).
Ivy: Guess our kids were drinking the same water today? Hope yours is better and you don't get sick!! (me too!)
Hottie: Ohhhhh.... Nice Karma, but I can't even think about the financial crisis. It makes me anxious.... I hate that feeling! *blocking ears and pulling the shades down*!!!!
Kathy: PS is a good one! I always enjoy getting that thrown into a rotation, it's different!
Beth: Hey! No pressure! Kind of cool to have a rotation named for YOU, huh??? BETH'S ROTATION! I will remind you daily!! I'm just starting it up, while I wait on Cathe's OCT 08 to go up. Have fun with the KB's!! I'm not so tempted on getting them, since it would require me to get MORE workouts. Right now in my sights are STS, ChaLEAN and CTX. I think that's enough!!! Though they do sound good for changing things up!! *again blocking ears and pulling down the shades*!!!
Vilma: Yep. Floating sucks. But it's more the THOUGHT of floating and the unknown. Everyone was super nice to me! (except the lady that literally exploded on her way to the bathroom and crap flew everywhere, including my scrubs and shoes! Thank God the hospital had new scrubs for me, I threw mine OUT! Ewwww!) ... .... It *is* fun listening to you be excited again and not feeling badly. Do you FEEL better too? How's your daughter's belly button and swollen lymph nodes doing?
Okay, enough procrastinating... off to the shower and then to do the dreaded supper detail! Have NO idea what I'm making.....

Back home and now making baked chicken with veggies and a pasta dish for the kids.
I'll be having the meat & veggies lol
Beth I did the cardio blast from Lauren's dvd just to get a taste believe me its a good lil blast made me sweat lol.
I actually have the dvd on pause for the longer workout after the evening crazies here are done. That one is the 40 min. I should have made that clear. Heck I'm still getting over the crud - I'm not that crazy lmao
I also followed along during the instructional part. Thrust squats are so much easier for me after she explained it hahaha.
Oh yeah I did MM early this morning and got Lauren's dvd mid afternoon.
Do you have the link for Chalean's? I need to look at that one.
Chris OMG I remember those exploding patients I swear I do not miss nursing at all! I got my license back in '89 worked until '96 in between having kids mind you. Not very long
Perhaps working as a teacher for students is better up my alley. Although I did love my work when I was doing it and okay okay I still miss it but I would need to take a refresher's course to get back up to speed and I'm just not in that frame of mind yet; been too long out of the environment. I'm so out of touch that I have no clue whats going on in the field and honestly don't want to bother with it lol
Over and out need to check on dinner.
ETA: My dd is doing better the antibiotics worked and she says her 'lumps' are small. I'll be checking them myself the end of this week to make sure.
