Goodmorning Kathy and all that follow.

Just stopping by really quick to say Hi! I've been busy catching up with household work now that I've not been working out. I start working out again on Monday and I'm so looking forward to it. I've missed you all! I hope you all are doing great! Today I will go out with my family for a fun day out at the base. I hope you all have a great day today!

Kathy: Have fun with IM3!!

I'll BB on Monday

Good morning to all!

Kathy -- Have fun with IM3! You can totally do it -- I know you're mind/body has strayed you away from that workout.

Ivy -- Its good to hear from you! I know you've been busy.

So yesterday was a busy day. Went into work to start experiments, then had to take a tram to the other campus for the symposium. My boss was actually quite good though after some post talk analysis a couple other lab mates and I concluded that he needs to take his own advice (that he yells at us about) when giving talks. Skipped lunch with the group to head back to finish up more experiments to find that the bus driver was insane and STOPPED and PARKED on the freeway TWICE (the 110S) without telling us what's wrong (like he left the bus too). So, the ride took twice as along in the direct heat without AC. But eventually finished everything, chauffered good friends who don't understand the phrase, "let's avoid traffic" back to my place for chinese take out and the debates.

But all in all, it was probably a good "rest" day for exercise. Not sure what I'm going to tackle since I don't have to go into lab at all today (squee!). It's very tempting to give it another go at Low Max on 8 inches but I'm looking at trying High Step Challenge today too. Who knows, I may even do both if I have enough energy and determination.

Have a good day all!

I liked him a lot...

Hi Everyone! Yes, sad news about Paul Newman, though I guess not unexpected. Still sad. He was a class act.

I woke up to 4DS UB premix this morning. I decided my legs weren't quite ready to handle ccpp, so I'm going to do that tomorrow -- it also had to do with timing for soccer and all. Vilma, I'm very excited for you and the new kettlebell toys!

Welcome back, Ivy.

Kathy, I haven't done IMAX 3 in quite a while. I think there's some dread factor there for me. That's such a tough one! I have it scheduled for the upcoming month at some point.

Hottie, what an awful bus ride! That's crazy!

Ok, have a nice Saturday everyone.... off to soccer soon.....

Good Morning Girls!

Today is cool in that I got to sleep all night without sugar checks (Hubby was home) AND I slept IN until 7:30AM! Can NOt remember the last time I got to sleep that late. It was soooo sweet!!! And hubby is home all day, no sitter..

. Just throwing supper in the crockpot and getting ME ready for work.

I actually thought about NOT working out (Little voice telling me to 'rest my toe' for 2, 12 hour shifts this weekend). But I didn't listen...

... I did KICKMAX: Cardio Leg Sculpt. I liked it! Those drills are crazy, but fun. I had to not jump as high,, plus modify the lunge sequence (did ski hops), but my HR got up there nonetheless. The drills on the chair are intense at times, aren't they??? Wow! I also tacked on Ab Hits from PS: Legs.

Kathy: I bet once you start IMAX 3, you'll get into it and love it! The weather here is dreary and damp, it's supposed to shower on and off. I hate waiting to see if games are canceled or not... You're on the edge all day wondering what you'll be doing...

Ivy: Sounds like you had a productive busy week "off". !! Which rotation are you going to start on Monday?

Hottie: Sounds like your day at the lecture turned out ok, except for that bus ride! How very strange, That would have freaked me out abit! What did you think of the Debate? Basically, my mind didn't change on who I support. I thought Obama really carried himself well, and overall speaks more "Presidential" to me. McCain does have the military experience, but he bugged me that he kept misquoting Obama over and over the same things... Good luck today on Low Max! I know you're bound and determined to get that one done! Although HSC is a toughie too!

After my workkout, I read the Paul Newman died. Sad. He was a movie icon (and original hottie). I still remember being in love with him and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Beth: 4DS Upper Body Premix is great! I didn't feel like I got much of an upper body workout this week. Did you do that KM Cardio Leg Sculpt premix this past week? I thougth I remembered reading you thought it was well put together.

Vilma: Your Kettlebells sound like a fun new toy!! Nothing like fun new toys to get us back in to "it"!!!!

Off to throw in my soup and shower.... Have a great Saturday everyone!!

Hi All!

So I'm guessing you all have read about my new cute toy.

Its deceptively sweet, it looks so unassuming until you start working with it and then wow the next morning you wake up to DOMS!

Seriously I was just practicing the moves and loved the fact that it gave me an unexpected cardio factor but this morning I sure can feel it now lol.

I ordered a dvd and waiting for it to arrive so I may be doing the bells this month instead of following a traditional rotation. Who knows?

My dh got sad news that his uncle who he visited just a few weeks ago in Charlotte died this morning. That was when dh was out of town he had travelled with his mom who flew down to visit with her brother. So sad he passed from mesothelioma which he got from working with the electrical company in NYC back in the late 70s I believe.

Then I get online and find out Paul Newman passed away also


So today I'm dedicating my workout which is CCPP to my blessed wonderful I still miss like crazy daddy, my DH's uncle, yup Paul Newman since he was one of the 1st to live 'Green' and just enjoy the message of today's workout to Choose Living to its fullest!

Kathy - I love Hottie's advice to you about Imax3 - I hope you have fun with it

Ivy yeah like Chris asked what rotation you plan on starting with? Sounds like you had a good active rest week.

Beth well you know I'm excited.

I'm thinking I'm dealing with too much Cathe overload.

I love Cathe and credit her as helping me lose all the weight a few years back and getting to where I'm at now but seeing how excited I am with a new form of workout tells me I need to add more variety into my workout routines.

I can not believe how simple & easy the moves are but need to be done properly. With just practicing the moves I got a great cardio workout and DOMS.

Yeah I think adding KB to my routine was a good decision for me I really like it.

Chris good for you that you got a good nights sleep without needing to get up for your ds and slept in.

Weekends are lazy days for us here as I don't need to get up early and rush out the door. Sleeping in is pure bliss when you get the chance to do it.

Ayup nothing like a new fitness toy to reamp the energy

Have a Great wekend / Day all - The County Fair is here so my kids want to go - today I'm taking ds and a few of his friends then again on Monday oy!

 

[bitmover]

Yes, Chris, I did that KM cardio leg sculpt premix -- I really liked it! Yes, to me it seemed like they filmed all those blasts together for that workout, and then for the KM workout it's like they cut them in there. Do you think? Well anyway, I was very happy to discover a "new" Cathe workout. I still cannot believe you doing all of these workouts with a broken toe, woman! How is it feeling -- especially after a 12 hour shift? Yikes!

Vilma, I am coming up on the anniversary of the day my dad died -- wow, 14 years ago -- amazing how different my world is now. I will think about him when I do ccpp tomorrow. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's uncle.

[Kathy36]

Well, I so wanted to do Imax3. But, we had Chris' baseball game and then we came home and got ready for confession and mass at church. So, I am going to do Imax 3 tomorrow with Ps Legs and abs..

Hottie: Thanks..I actually really like Imax 3. Life has just been getting in the way and forcing rest days on me. I don't like unplanned rest days!! I was sad to read about Paul Newman too..I really thought he was a great actor and guy!

Vilma: I have been considering bells too. Keep us informed. I am going shopping tomorrow. I may take a peep at them..Sorry about your hubby's loss.

Chris: Glad you got some rest!!! I love the leg work in Kickmax. It is tough. But, great!!

Ivy: Enjoy your rest and you family day!!

Hi Beth!!

 

[hottiescientist]

Kathy, I took an unplanned rest day with you I guess. I developed a headache and nausea and it didn't go away all day. And I ate like crazy too!!! Oh, I'm so mad at myself...tomorrow is a new day, right?
