Springy 40's week of 4/15/12

Murphy

Cathlete
I did not see a thread. I just finished B&G's. I skipped two seconds sets of leg work. I know it is called B&G's and it works, I had just had it by then. I might have to put this on the botttom for a little bit - until it is full time short weather and then I will wonder why I did not use it more! :)

Have a great week everyone. Hopefully Ronne has untangeled herself from the marshmallows and jelly bean boulders. :p

Good Morning,

I will do Yoga Relax and another stretch after I clean my house I didn't get a whole lot done spent to much time at Walmart. We are all well after the weather last night there were a couple of tornadoes close to us but not here. Woke up sometime in the night and the wind was blowing really hard.

Murphy-good job with your workout.
 
I did HSTA, good work out for me today.
Roxie I guess you dont have a storm shelter, glad u r safe. Ar you feeling better?
Murphy, I like the standing time saver pm on that one. What do you think of road trip pics? Looks fun, eh?
Lisa bath looks great, you could entertain in there!
Waves to Mary and Ronne.
 
HI all! I did CSS with bonus step. I didn't think it was hard but I'm all hobbling along all sore like an old woman...oh wait, maybe I am an old woman! Guess the siesta I took while painting didn't work me out like Cathe does!

Murphy, B&G and GS Legs stay at the bottom of my pile a lot....along with CCC.

Roxie, I'm going to try night workouts this week, will see how it works out for me. Glad to hear the storms weren't close. It's cold here today! Had to pull out the winter clothes again.

Jody, I can't wait until the bathroom glass is in so I can use the shower. Getting tired of lugging clothes to/from the guest bath, so today I stripped in the master bathroom and walked to the guest bath naked, then dried off and walked back to the master to get dressed (thank goodness no kids decided to drop by). I have windows on the top that don't have blinds that neighbors could see in if they tried. I figure if they try that hard they deserve a show :) Good luck with your speech!

Mary, how was your weekend away?

Ronne, will you be blessing us with your presence this week?

Murphy, should have named the thread something along the lines of it being tax day this week :)

Tomorrow I'm taking off work, my sis and I are going shopping to see what new color of towels and decorations I should use in the new master bathroom. Then if the grass has dried I really need to mow.....now that DH travels the mowing will fall back to me.
 
Good Evening,

I did Stretch Max this morning and then went shopping again bought a new mattress protector for our mattress and then I went and babysat my 3 year old nephew and for the first time ever he was and angel.

Lisa-its cold and windy here today.

Jody-we have a basement in our house I wouldn't live in Kansas without one.
 
I need to do a "blast" workout today, I'm thinking of IMAX3, I haven't done it before but preview looks hard and some of the choreog intricate. Music definitely fun. So do I do IMAX2, IMAX3 or some other cardio w/ a workout blast like S+I, LIC cardio only premix or BM2 cardio only premix (I do the last two a lot, they've been faves forever)? Oh wait, maybe CSS qualifies?

Lisa are you working out today? Between shopping and lawn, you may be covered!
Murphy, I read some of the road trip thread, sounded fun, enjoy NJ! ha ha, ps tell Lisa, now that she is the sleep in queen, if she wants to name the thread she has to get up a little earlier on Sun, : P
Roxie how was house max? I need to mop downstairs and other cleaning stuffles.
Welcome back to Mary and Ronne today, I hope.
 
Hello ladies!!

It's nice to be missed!!:) No, I haven't been buried under a mountain of chocolate eggs which I've just eaten my way out of ... We went to see family for a couple of days at the beginning of last week and then when I got back I had to WORK! Been working every day all day since Weds. I haven't even been lurking, that's how busy I've been :( I have managed to fit a couple of workouts in here and there. I did Circuit Max for the first time - it damn near killed me!! Do any of you have that? How come you didn't warn me?!!;) Today was C&W - inspired by Jody doing that a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't done it for months. Love the music in that one.

Lisa - so it sounds like the bathroom is nearly finished - hurrah! And the sleeping is still going well?

Murphy - I HATE B&G - just thought I'd share that with you!

Jody - everyone else will say Imax 2 but I'll say Imax 3 as I love it!

Roxie - Stretch Max - how lovely!

Hi to Mary, hope you had a good weekend.
 
Hi girls! Made it back last night. Wonderful weekend, lots of eating, laughs and drinks. Need to get back on track! Have to figure out what I will tackle today. Ronne, glad you escaped from the peeps! I don't have CM, from your description, doesn't sound like I should get it! Jody, Ronne is right! I vote for imax2' the 3rd one is crazy hard. I think I tried it once. Lisa, when will the shower be done? Have fun shopping! A favorite pastime of mine. Roxie, glad to hear you are safe. Those storms sound scary. Murphy, it will be July before you know it. Are you staying in a hotel? Hope everyone has a good day, I have a ton of wash to get to! Mary
 
Hi all, the sleeping queen is up. Will see if I follow thru with a w/o this evening. Shouldn't be too much of a shopping trip, seems like both of my sisters are gimpy. The one that lives here -- overweight, diabetes, shortness breath, complains that they can't walk very much/far. The one in FL---PF still acting up, found out she's getting a wheelchair for the airport when she comes for the wedding!

Ronne, glad to see you are back from bunny-land! You are more disciplined than me, I'd have to at least peek in the forums for a break.

Jody, lol---the day got away from me yesterday, before I knew it it was after dinner and I hadn't checked in! I'll gladly give up naming the thread for sleep anytime! My sis in FL had to rub it into me AGAIN that she made it thru menopause naturally. I think the lack of sleep was worse for me than a little estrogen/progesterine. Again, it's like they have to one up me! According to my doc though, the hormones may protect me against other things that occur later in life. Gotta love sisters, you either love them or they irritate the heck out of you! I vote for Imax2 too...I can't get into 3 at all.

Mary, did you find those 4 lbs you lost from your illness? I still need to weight in, maybe I gave them back to you! I'm feeling slimmer, does that count? No more sore breasts, my body must be acclimating to the estrogen it probably hasn't had in ages!

Waves to Roxie and Murphy! I'll be back to hopefully check in with a workout! Will see if my new schedule to w/o in the evening is successful or not!
 
Good Morning,

Good News I have lost another lb. makes me incredibly happy. I was awake at 4:30 this morning and I should have just gotten up, and then DD text me at 6:30 this morning (who does that). Tonite for me is LIS CSS.

Jody-I love the step work in Imax 3 never done the blasts in that though.

Lisa-I love my sister right at the moment but sometimes you just want to go grr, now my brother on the other hand is and idiot and has always been.

Ronne-glad to see you escaped the peeps.
 
Hi all. No workout for me today. I was so tired from yesterday plus my feet hurt. We were outside working in the yard ALL day yesterday. The kids played and DH and I were back and forth and forth and back and etc. I planted flowers and vegetables and fruits, put rocks down, put a border down, weeded and put some dirt down and watered everything. Then I cooked dinner, cookies and a cake. Oh, did I mention the four or five loads of laundry I did that morning? I was tired. I doubt I will get anyting in tonight. It is gymnastics for the girls and then baths. I am feeling tired again.

Ronne - glad to see you escaped from the peeps and chocolateville.

I don't have any of the Imax's so I cannot vote. They looked like too much for me. I don't like a lot of jumping (knee issues) and I have step issues. I don't think I have circuit max. If I do, I have avoided it to the point where it does not even sound familiar. :)

Hi to everyone.

Murphy
 
Back again! AB done! Felt long today. Murphy, I am exhausted reading about what you did yesterday! Roxie, congrats on the weight loss! Haven't stepped on the scale in a bit. I am afraid after this weekend! Lisa, I don't have any siblings. Why does she need a wheel chair? Is she using a tennis ball to roll it out? 3 loads of wash done, 2 to go! Mary
 
Lisa - it is funny you mentioned I should have named the thread something regarding taxes. I completely forgot tax day was coming and on Friday night I called the accountant to see what was happening. He filed an extension for us so that is good, but I completely forgot all about tax day. This is the first time I have ever forgotten - it is also one of the very few times I have filed so late - waiting on DH to get some of his paperwork together. I put him in charge to make my life easier, but then I have to wait for him to get it together to make sure it gets sent out. ???? So much for making my life easier.

Murphy
 
I wonder if Ronne meant Circuit Blast? I have that one in mind for my circuit workout this week.
LOL to Roxie's comments about her brother. I don't have sisters, just you guys and my bellydance sisters, if that counts.
Mary, I had to wear a skirt today, so noteworthy I tried to take a pic. I attempted to find jeans in the laundry basket, but all were beyond redemption and couldn't pass for washed. Clearly I need to do laundry max as well as mop max.
Just chatting between classes and shifts, no workouts done, bbl I hope with something to show for it.

Hey, lookie I'm back! I went with IMAX 3. I couldn't keep up in places (sometimes impact, sometimes intensity, sometimes choreography) but it was all pretty fun, I look forward to getting better at it. In hind sight, I could have done Lowmax since it is a "blast" workout but I forgot, next time maybe. So many Cathe's so little time...

Good Evening,

Tonite I did Cardio Supersets and I have to remember not to use the discs for the mountain climbers and stepins. Had a really good workout.
 
Hi all

Jody - no, I definitely mean Circuit Max - it's an old one on a DVD with Cardio Kicks. Sounds like Imax3 kicked your butt!! Good luck with your speech!!

Murphy - do you always leave it to the last minute to do your taxes? I do mine months in advance - I just like to know how much I'm supposed to pay!!

Mary - where did you go? Was it a romantice weekend away with DH?

Lisa - how did the shopping go? Your sisters sound like fun ;)

Roxie - your comment about your brother made me laugh!! I could probably say the same about mine!!

Did Cardio Kicks today - my other new one. I liked it - simple and hard. Had a good sweat going by the end. It starts off quite slow and easy but I was glad when we slowed down at the end. Work is absolutely crazy - don't know how I'm going to get everything done. But I'm not complaining, at least the money will come in!
 
I slept in but hopefully I will get done UB premix on HR. Was it Ronne or Jody or ??? who mentioned the HR premixes? Anyway, that is on schedule for today.

Ronne - we usually have our taxes done in February or March the latest. DH was in charge and get putting it off. His mother was with us for about 8 weeks or so and she has early dementia. DH is having a hard time with it and cannot focus or get anything done. I did not want to hound him so I kept watching the days go by. Normally he is organized with the taxes but this year, not so much.

Murphy
 
Hi girls! Today did LBB, challenging! Lisa, did you like working out in the evening? Bathroom done? Murphy, sorry to hear about MIL. It is so hard to watch the changes and deal with all the emotions that go along. Jody, you enjoye Imax3?! I can't do it! I feel like such a wimp with that one! That is why I gave Hardcore Extreme away, it was all impossible for me. Ronne, glad to hear you are busy. Now you will be able to plan even more amazing vacations! When do you go to Spain? Our weekend was not romantic! Our family and another went to beach house, did bonfires, bike rides, bowling, etc. It was nice. Roxie, those mountain climbers with the discs are challenging. I always tell myself to do the regular ones, but I always use the darn discs! Today will be cleaning, wash done. My goal before the kids get out of school is to straighten out every closet, drawer and cupboard in the house, I better get busy! Mary
 
Good Morning,

Dh is going out to work on the house again today so I thought I would go for a walk in the park and then do TF 30 since I am not a fan of Imax 2. Its going to be a gorgeous day here today.

Mary-you make me tired just listening to your days and jealous because I can't seem to get anything done.
