Good Morning.

GS Legs and a short run on tap for me today.

So how's everyone on this fine monday? I don't have to work this morning so I'm happy. :) I DO however, have housework and laundry to do...I don't know which is worse...LOL!:p
 
I agree Wendy, which is worse? Laundry is starting to get on my nerves!
I have a nasty sore throat. I rested yesterday. Busy and not feeling well. Full day of babysitting today! JOY!!!

WO? I don't know. I was going to try and squeeze one in while CHase is at school, but last minute, Matthew (who is 10) will be here all day. SO, not really going to exercise in front of him, unless I hit the TM later. WHo knows.

Shrinking Violets Check-in

Good morning, Violets! Yesterday was a restorative and refreshing day. I love Sunday rest days! When I take a rest day on any other day, I have work to do. After church yesterday morning, I relaxed and enjoyed a nap in the afternoon. It is worth working hard on Saturday to get all my cleaning and shopping out of the way so I can enjoy one free day every week.

I jogged on my rebounder this morning and did the Butts and Guts warm-up and my beloved leg blast premix. I love this workout so much that it is hard to talk myself into doing a different one. I am still feeling it, so I do not think my body has adapted to it yet. This is definitely my favorite lower body workout of all time.

Blessings,
Heather B.

RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in

I'm back. I did a 30 min tm run at the gym this morning and came home and did GS Legs Standing. Time for a shower! P-U! :7 :7 :7

Meg, Laundry has been getting on my nerves since the day my mom started making me do my own! I was sooo bad as a teen that my dirty clothes would over-flow out of the hamper and on to the floor for a WEEK before I'd do ANY laundry and even then I'd usually only do what was on the floor! LMAO! I am better now ofcourse but I still hate the chore!:p :7

Heather, Wow, you are goin' to town w/that premix. I probably won't see that premix again until sometime next spring if all goes according to plan for my rotations over the next several months. I am hoping that it might be a bit less painful by then!?!? ....A girl can atleast hope, can't she?? ;)
 
RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in

Guess what I got??? The new series!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Some really sweet person on these forums sent them to me since she had extra!! How generous! I am so excited. DOn't know what to do first!

Tig- I have to use the mesh bags for my hampers, cuz out of sight out of mind you know!! YUK!!

RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in

Meg, EXTRA of the new series??? How does THAT happen!? If I didn't already have it I'd say hook me up girlfriend!;) Congrats and have fun!}( Does this mean it'll be a little easier to pry HSTA out of your hot lil' hands after the holidays? ;) :+ :p LOL I have a bad habit of putting laundry in the wash and forgetting about it for a day or two! :eek: By then it smells so I have to re-wash it and there have been times I've re-washed the same friggin' load THREE times cause I kept on forgetting about it! LMAO! That's usually when I'm all caught up on laundry and I'm doing a load here and there cause the hamper isn't full. When it's full, I am better at not forgetting because there is more pressure to get it done. LOL
 
RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in

I think she had preordered, then forgot and ordered again. I am so happy!! Doing the happy dance over here!!!!

Yes, I have HSTA on my list, so as soon as the mail calms down I will part with it. DH just told me this mornign to give him an updated list so he can try to get everything. I kindly informed him that Cathe has gift cards!!

I do the same dang thing with the laundry! I get so mad at myself cuz I waste detergent doing that! Oh well, better then smelly clothes I guess.

RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in

Nice to luck out, Meg! :+ Jeesh, my DH did not take one stinkin' idea from me this year cause he has his own...that is scarey! LOL I gave out lots of ideas to others though so hopefully I get some good stuff!}( Tell your DH that if he ends up with any extra gifts for you he can pass them on down to me, no problem! LOL ;)
 
RE: Shrinking Violets Check-in

LOL Wendy! My Dh would be lost without a list. He has to take my sister with him to buy clothes. Trust me, he is THAT bad! He doesn't know a size 6 from 16, petit to tall. I love him anyway. He always pulls it off though. I know he enlists help. And this year he says he is taking C&C shoppping with him. Lord have mercy!
Yes, I have really met some amazing people here! You included OF COURSE! Not very many people would be willing to send something of theirs a few hundred miles away for someone to borrow. You are all great, generous people! I just wish I had something to give in return to everybody! Here ya go:* :D a big kiss and a smile!

Arghhhhh! Where do my posts go? I posted on my lunch and thought I'd just drop in before I head out the door and I see it's gone. Apparently I didn't hit the post button or somethime. I'll try to check back when I get home and see if I can re-create my post.

Well, I decided on B&G tonight. WHOA NELLY!! I have never had the shakes SOOOO bad before! When I got up after the ab work, I almost fell over! Really, I did! I LOVED this WO. I actually tacked on the bonus stability ball ab WO too.
OK, that move where you lay on your back, arms out to the sides, feet straight up, then you lower legs to one side, back up, other side...... can you guys do them??? I really can't go down far at all before my shoulder comes up. Guess I really need to work on that one.
Otherwise, Great WO. I matched Cathe's weight since I didn't know what I was in for. I did start out with 5lb ankle weights, but had to lower it on the inner thigh work. My right leg just was NOT going to lift the 5#s! LOL!
Can't wait to see how I feel tomorrow.

Good job on B&G Meg! It's definately a goodie! I can't go down very far on that exercise where you lower your legs either so don't feel bad. :) The ankle weights I have are only 1 or 2#. I can't imagine doing that work out with 5's! Good job!

I think since our Violet threads are usually pretty short, we may want to change them to include more then one day a piece. What do you all think? We can do say one thread every other day instead of one for every day.

I have DOMS from GS Legs y'day. I am doing GSC&T today so that will probably mean u/b DOMS tomorrow! Wooh!}(

Have a great day all!:)
 
Hey Wendy, you know, I wound up taking a few things out of my AW, bringing them down to 2 #s. I think I tried to be a hero!! I learned!

I have some DOMS starting, but I am sure they will increase as the day progresses. I want to do Drill Max, but I will wait to see how I feel, and may just do an UB mish mosh from the new DVD's. I can't wait to check out all the premixes. I feel like I have about 20 new WO's! I also hope to feel better in gereral. This cold is annoying!

I think that is a good idea WEndy!
Morning all!

Hey Meg, now that you have experienced B&G as produced, you need to check out the Leg Blast premix the next time you are lookin' to burn out the bottom half! OMG, what a friggin' work out!}( }( }( B&G as produced didn't really give me much in the way of DOMS but this premix (and it's SHORTER!) gave me DOMS for THREE DAYS!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

Have fun w/DM if you decide to do it. It's an awesome work out. Quite different from Cathe's usual. I really enjoyed it.

Well, I have to finally go and do GSC&T so I'll be back later!:)
 
Hey Violets.

GSC&T and Ab Ripper X: DONE!}(

When I went foodshopping today I saw Wiggles DVD's for cheap so I picked up a Christmas one for Joey. He is watching it now...HE LOVES THEM!...I was just interrupted...Joey came in with his empty cup asking for more juice...how cute! He says "Ju". :+ :7 So I gave it to him and he ran right back to Wiggle world with it. :)

Mamma is needing a cup of coffee now! I'll be back later chickies!:)
 
Okay...It's official! I'm talkin' to myself over here! You ladies just love to let me look like a fool, don't y'all!? :p :7 :7 :7

Come out come out wherever you are!!!!!
 
Wendy, don't think of it as talking to your self. Just think of it as sound traveling very slowly. Eventually someone will hear.

Sorry I've been so hit or miss on posting. I really did have a post yesterday and it was up with the laundry theme. I wash and dry but hate to put away. so instead of wasting money on detergent I waste in on electricity because I throw my wrinkly clothes back in the dryer 2 or 3 times with a damp towel before they finally get hung up.


Wendy, so how did Joey like the Wiggles DVD? I hear kids really like them. I looked at his picture in your Avitor. He is so cute. How old is he? It's been forever that I pushed myself to get extreme doms. I guess I need to do that premix you mentioned, but I really don't want 3 days worth. Ouch.


Maeghan, you lucky gal. Getting the new workouts. Hope you like them.

Heather, Kali, Kim & Sunnydelite hope your week is going well.

Mine is kind of stressfull dealing with the health issues of my dog. Tomorrow she gets an ultrasound and that will hopefully point us in the right direction for a treatment plan.

Jean
 
So, I went for it. Did Drill Max as produced. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this WO. It is pretty different from her usual stuff. I liked all the moves, and I didn't feel like it was overwhelmingly high impact. There were a few jumps, but not to bad. I like how she incorporated the ball in a lot of moves. I did not go as deep with the Leg portions since I already had some DOMS. Probably be pretty sore tomorrow. And your shoulders definately get worked good from every angle. I matched Cathe's weight on everything. Probably can go heavier on some of teh LB next time. Maybe some UB.

Jean- good luck with your dog. ((Hugs))

Wendy- yes, I am anxious to try that premix, but I think it might be a few days now!!!

Hi Jean, Meg and everyone else.

Jean: Joey TOTALLY loved the Wiggles DVD. Thanks. :+ I hope the issues with your dog are resolved soon. Poor pup. :-( You sound like me...I hate folding/putting away laundry myself. DH and I often use the dryer as an iron because of this as well. LOL It's obvious that I hate ironing too...I have one but rarely use it!:p

Meg: You go girl! Good job on DrillMax! Don't worry...I'll give you a few days to recover before I really start busting you about doing the Leg Blast premix. :p LOL

I have a step class at the gym tonight and I am hoping to have the energy for a short TM run as well. }( ...ACK! I just remembered that I have to do GS Legs floor too! Oh my!:eek: LOL

Have a great day ladies!
 
Wendy- so I see you are really enjoying these classes! That's great. I wish I could venture out more, but oh well! What rotation are you following?

I am sore today! My core, and it really hurts to cough! Ifeel worse today. Nasty cold. GOing to go get some cold med this morning.

Mornign to everyone else. Where is Kali??
