Hi ladies..

Getting ready to workout in a little while...I plan to do the cardio parts of step, jump & pump and the abs section...We are going to be headed out to our vacation around lunch time..Yeah!! We have been watching the weather channel and we were glad we waited. They had lots of rain with some flooding where we are going. Anyway, the rest of the week might be partly good..Looking forward to it..

Have a great day and rest of the week..
 
Joanne: I hope today is a better day for you. Glad to hear they know what is wrong. Hope Jameson is better soon and back home..
 
Joanne -- I hope that things turn out better today and that Jameson feels better soon. I'll be thinking about you guys all day.

Well, I woke up around when Beth woke up but I stayed in bed for some extra rest. Not sure what's wrong with my body exactly but I was in a total sweat when I got up...so icky. House is pretty warm too which is weird given the desert night temps. Changing up the plans though...going to shower and do some house chores now before getting in early at work but then leaving earlier so we can eat and work out in the morning. Joe tried to make me feel better for at least waking up and moving about part again in the morning. Hopefully just wanting to do LIC will push me through the day...

Kathy -- have fun with the workout! I'm sure everyone is psyched for the trip!
 
Hey !!!

It's Wednesday, I'm tired and lacking motivation. What else is new.

Joanne: You poor thing, what a day you had yesterday! I hope Jameson gets better quickly!!! At least he's getting good care and not home where you'd be so worried. ((hugs))

Kathy: Have a safe trip today!!! Sounds like a good send-off workout for you!

Hottie: Mornings are hard for you!... I think it's better to save your workouts for later anyways. Let us know how it all goes... And yes, I am, like Beth says, an old married lady that is jealous of young love! :) :) Someone's gotta have the fun!!!

Oh yeah, my workout. I'm nuts, I swear I DREAMED about it. I'm doing Butts and Guts, but I think I'll do the standing legs & abs premix!

Off I go!!!!
 
Good morning! Kathy -- have a great trip!! Good that you waited, even if it cost a hotel night. :confused:

Joanne, how long does Jameson have to be in the hospital, do you know? Were you able to sleep last night? Ug! I hope things start looking up.

Hottie, hope you aren't coming down with something! We finally have cooler weather -- high about 80 these days -- much more pleasant -- and very cool in the night.

Hey, I found out yesterday you can get flu shots at Walgreen's for $15 if you have AAA membership -- that's ten bucks lower a pop than my co-pay. I'm taking the kids down this afternoon and we're all getting it. Just fyi.....

I did the original Squeeze this morning -- I can't remember if anyone here has it. I haven't done that one fully in a long time -- the arms had a good burn in spite of tiny weights and of course the lower body is jello now. I got a couple of new KCM in the mail yesterday, so it'll be a hard choice between that and lalo tomorrow, but I think I'll stick with lalo. The new weight one looks good though -- can't wait to do it sometime!

Waves to Chris and Vilma! Hope everyone has a good day.

-Beth
 


Guess what came in the mail today??????????

Which one should I do Beth???? I did lower body and abs today (Standing Legs & Abs from Butts & Guts). Does the total body REALLY work the upper body good? Do you get DOMS from it? I kind of wanted to do one more upper body weight work this week. So if I do Lalo tomorrow, I'd do Physique on Friday, and probably a quickie cardio on Saturday (the day of the party). Help!

That's cool on the Flu Shots, Beth! I get them for free at work. The boys usually get them at their Fall physicals too. But $15 is an awesome deal, really! I think my mom just paid $25. I should MAKE Greg go get one. He never does!

I know I want those Squeeze workouts eventually too!

Speaking of , I'd better go call the Ped for physical appts while i have a few minutes... and my GYN is due too! :eek:
 
Whooo-hoooo, Chris! Got your P57s! I didn't realize we had posted at the same time earlier. Well, you'll get a nice burn in the upper body, but DOMs? Well, it's just different..... I don't feel DOMs in my upper body so much, but I do feel worked. It's hard to describe. I think that's what I'll do: lalo tomorrow, p57 Friday, and then a run on Saturday. Are you going to do disc 1 on Sunday, or is that your rest day because you're fried from work? I think I'm doing to do disc 1 Sunday. I guess I ought to work a rest in there somewhere..... hmmmmmm........

Turns out you have to be 9 to get a flu shot at walgreen's, so we may rethink this. I dunno.... I should probably get Travis and mine done there -- that's a $20 savings......
 
Hi everyone. I'm here at the hospital with Jameson using his laptop. He's definitely feeling better, but they say he'll be here a couple days. The doctors were here this morning when DH was here, so of course I get no information! I have to get here earlier tomorrow.

Chris, yea on your P57! I've only done the express workout. I'm sure you'll like it.

Beth, did you get the new KCMs? I did, of course! I just got them yesterday and decided to ditch Insanity this morning and try them. I did the 30 minute step Cardio Blast and the 30 minute Standing workout from Body Definition. They were both great. The Body Definition is all standing legs with no weights. Really good. There's also a Muscle Definition workout. Wait, I think I have the name wrong for the Body one...it's something like that. Anyway they all have really fun looking premixes. I think I'm going to play around with them for the rest of the week and start week three of Insanity Monday. That's a good deal on the flu shots. The nurses here were saying they think it's going to be really bad this year based on all the cases they are seeing already. They've already had five cases of pneumonia like Jameson.

Hottie, it definitely sounds like afternoon/evening workouts are better for you. I would do that if I could. Hope you can get in LIC today. That's always a mood booster.

Have to go...just wanted to check in. I'm actually getting some rest sitting here at the hospital!

Woot! P57! stop rubbing it in! :)

Ugh, so I've been trying to do some tutoring on the side to make up for some of the more unexpected house costs and I finally got a kid (I charge for college level) and he was late and didn't bring his cash. He better have it next time. It's funny -- there are some days where I think I charge a lot, and then there are some days when I realize people with less credentials charge more, and then there are some days where I'm boggled that these kids will dump THOUSANDS into a prep program that will barely help them in their test instead of getting me, and then there are some days where I'm like, seriously, I'm a grad student making crap, just gimme my money.

[/rant]

Even though my body simulates a petri dish, I never get flu shots. I'm in the last category of people who need to get them and I hate the idea of taking a shot away from people who actually need it. Chris, can't you get something for your family at work? I know nurses are in the top category to get them.

YAWN, I feel lazy...
 
Joanne -- so good to hear that Jameson is doing better. is pneumonia something that can happen if you get the flu? I guess if it progresses badly?
 
Hey Girls!

Beth: so would you do an upper body weight workout of Cathe's after a P57 day? ... That'd be cool if we both did Lalo tomorrow and P57 on Friday! I'd also LOVE a run on Saturday, but that's pushing it, since our party is Sat. I really should start STS on Sunday... And then take Monday as my rest day. I'm just working Sunday night this weekend. Oh! Which P57 one will you do on Fri?

Joanne: Wow, your poor Jameson! How is he holding up being in the hospital? he must be on Intravenous and everything. Poor kid! Are both you and DH off from work with him sick? I hope he gets better fast!!! and home soon!!

Hottie: OMG, I can't believe your student didn't bring 'the money'!!! Little shit! ... Well, yes, the hospital will give ME the flu shot for free (I am one of the top on the shot list) , but they don't for my boys. They should, you're right! I'm not really sure about wanting the H1N1 shot though. It's so new, it freaks me out. And I'm afraid for my kids, even though I know they are the "target" of this flu. Ick
 
Oh, and Pneumonia is definitely a complication you can get from the Flu or H1N1.

I wonder if that's what it is for Jameson?
 
Too funny you guys!!! Do you see his fb updates about where he's going clubbing? So funny.

Well, I was thinking about doing p57 Friday, run Saturday, then start STS on Sunday, but I'm thinking I'm going to need a rest day. My shoulder that I thought was better has just started hurting again (I've been driving -- that's what sets it off). Hmmm. I may have to rethink this -- probably doing too much too soon with it. Rats! So many fun workouts to do!!!

Hottie, my AAA membership card says "Member since 1959" or some year in the 50s -- crazy!!!
 
STOP DRIVING, Beth! STOP DRIVING!

Seriously, you need to do what your body is telling you. You've been so good about it, so don't push it, right?

I might even take Sun as a rest day ,and start Monday, I'll see when I get there I guess!...
 
You guys are too funny. Threesome with Lalo! Ha! Jameson and I are here at the hospital bored silly so thanks for the laugh! Thank god they have internet access here.

Beth, careful with that shoulder.

They haven't tested Jameson for any type of flu, so I guess we won't know what caused all this. But, we've all (except DH) had this cough over the last couple months so I think poor Jameson just got hit harder and progressed to pneumonia. He's doing OK, but bored. We're in isolation, so he can't leave the room. I did take off work and so did DH. He's doing the nights and I'm doing the days.

Chris, yea, he's getting two antibiotics via IV and fluids and also zithromax by mouth. I think they'll do an xray tomorrow to see how it looks.

Hottie, I'd tell that kid to show you the money before you start the next session!

Time to go...DH should be here soon.

Joanne
 
ugh, this is why I hate leaving the house before working out. I come home and I get exhausted. Though maybe I am fighting a bug with the way I feel. Clean Max before I pass out for now but tomorrow I have to have to have to work out!

Joanne - I hope Jameson has a speedy recovery!
