Strength in Numbers

Pam I'm not sure about the $3000 price, that's what they told me but also they told me that she couldn't get baking powder and I did found it at the grocery store she never cook her husband was the cook at her house... so I won't be sure until we get all the info. I think you guys are right I should talk to the mom I feel so bad for my Rachel because I don't know WHY she is not confident if they say you are tall and weak, latter what I heard from her is saying I'm weak because I'm tall, so I have to make sure she is feeling great about her self! She shouldn't being having that kind of troubles in elementary:mad: So get ready for RT 2013 we have to do it!! I think we are going back to where we come from, that is not that bad. No the kangaroos are not aggressive but we never know! Great job on your final leg workout next meso its going to be as much fun as the first one, I mean legs;) Have fun in your active recovery week...

Julie I know what you mean, when you have sore legs and butt its pretty hard do even step:p Are you doing double workouts every day? wow that's awesome if you have the energy and the workout ROOM:p of course smelling like NEW!! don't you wish you could move your bed in there if you love it so much!!! haha JK. Of course today its Saturday and can take nether the dog or my Stacy to the Dr. I have both of them not feeling good! then Monday its holliday:mad:I will talk to the mom, they both get along but the other girl is the one messing with both of them, good thing when this term ends the other Family its moving so Rachel won;t have to deal with that.

Janie I am so sorry about your sister signs of Alzheimer's that is very sad. ((((( Hugs))))) I don't know much about this sickness but I hope she in not along at home, so so sorry:( I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks I will take him to the vet we have long weekend so its going to be till wed. I have to watch him very close when he goes out side he doesn't eat trash he is just a baby!:D So much going on now this days I know I wish I could be at school with them to protect them from bad people.

Cheryl I hope your team wins!!!! Close the windows put some plugs on your ears:p so you can get some sleep!

Why they can never be a complete relaxing weekend???, last night Stacy was complaining about not feeling good well today she had fever, Sam still not good. SO NO workout for me I took it as a rest day and I will workout tomorrow... Its my last workout of the rotation but I want to add one more week of Slow & heavy and then just play a little bit with my DVD's then I will start another STS rotation. Well everyone have a good weekend and I will talk to you guys on Monday!!!!
 
Last night I did disc 15 back and biceps. I had to go down in weight on some of the exercises from what my 1RM said. I’m just not sure about the whole 1RM testing. It is supposed to be done a few a day. To me you would have more strength when you are only working one muscle group once a day to test for the 1RM than during the workout as it is designed. Anyway, I guess I will just figure this all out as I go. I am still loving STS just frustrated that I have to lighten up from my 1RM sometimes. This morning I doubled up my workouts as I was feeling sort of energetic and my legs felt much better. I did Step, Jump, & Pump Step & Hi/Lo Circuit Premix, Step Moves, and Ab Circuits Pilates. I did much better on Step Moves this time but still need to practice.

Janie Great job on TBS, abs, and stretching! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you and your sister. :( I really hope this is just regular old age forgetfulness and not the start of Alzheimer’s. Do any of your sisters live close to her to help keep an eye on her? I will be thinking of you.

Cheryl That would be very frustrating to have to listen to a baby screaming in the middle of the night and get no sleep. Before I switched my workouts to the mornings, our next door neighbor had a rooster that would wake me up every morning. :mad: I’m normally an animal lover but I told DH that if the neighbor didn’t get rid of that thing, we were having rooster stew some night! Luckily the neighbor moved and took his rooster with him!

Eunice It is frustrating when you can’t get a workout in but it seems like there are other things going on right now that really need your attention. Hopefully Stacy and Sam can get better soon. I really only plan to double up my workouts on the days I do STS upper body so really only 2 days a week. Wednesday I stayed home from work so I figured I could get another workout in with my new bike (bad mistake without padded shorts-OUCH!) and today I was just really feeling good. I really do love my workout room but I think it would be a pain to move my bed in there and then back out when I needed to workout! :p

Have a great weekend everyone!
 
Julie Great job on Step Blast with your wobbly legs yesterday! i just love SB! I hope the foam roller helped those aching hammies!
I think you were smart to order those padded shorts for spinning, you will not regret it! I forgot about the trisets in meso 2, I guess I have that to look forward to in a couple of weeks!

Janie Great jon on TBS, abs and stretching.
Oh big {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} to you and your sister. Hopefully it was just a single case of forgetfulness on her part :confused::( It is an awful disease. I volunteered in the emergency room years ago and this woman came in with her mother who had Alzheimer's. This woman would go from being so sweet and nice to just swearing and yelling. i felt so sorry for her daughter because she would just look at us and say this isn't her, she really isn't like this :( so sad!
The new Patrick workout tht I got is called abc (amazing ball choreography) 2. It's all done with the stability ball but it's cardio. There were some good reviews in the open discussion and I got it on amazon for something like $7 so i couldn't resist!

Cheryl We were watching the game for awhile last night and I saw the Canucks score. When I went to bed they were still winning 1-0 so hopefully they won!
Oh a screaming baby at night, yuck!

Eunice Oh your poor Rachel :( I hate how mean little girls can be. It just isn't right at all. You're right that you need to keep boosting her confidence, you sure don't want her believing those nasty things. Yes, we will start planning for a 2013 roadtrip. You pick the location and I will go. Oh no, sorry to hear that Stacy is not feeling well. Our youngest, Carl was talking last night about seeing a bright spot in front of his eyes and not being able to see very well and having a really bad headache. He ate a really big dinner and went to bed and then started throwing up! He didn't have a fever and from the symptoms it sounds like migraines, but I'm worried about him and we need to take him to a Dr. The good thing is that so far this morning he says he feels great!
I hope that Stacy and Sam are both feeling better soon!
Hey if you start an STS rotation you, Julie and I will all be a few weeks apart in our STS rotations.

Julie Great job on disc 15. I think that the 1 RM testing is good to give you an idea of a starting point, but you definitely need to make adjustments. You shouldn't feel frustrated about having to lighten up, I really think it is intended as a guideline to get yoyu close to where you should be.
Wow, great job on your doubled up workout! Sounds like you were FULL of energy!

This morning was supposed to be circuit blast cardio only. Since that is only 23 minutes I wanted to do more than that, so I also did the cardio only from 4DS bootcamp and then I did the weights and plates abs that I missed the other day. It seemed like a lot, but all that only took an hour! last night we went to the lake after work. It was beautiful, perfect condition and no wind, Carl skiied, then DH and then it was my turn. Well, I don't know what the heck was going on, but as soon as I got suited up the wind just picked up and the water got all rough so I had a terrible set. The wind was blowing so hard and there was so much spray in my face and I couldn't see. It felt like I was skiing in the ocean. Then Ashley is up next, she does 1 pass and the wind completely stops. WTH?! It was just all windy for me!!! I was so mad :mad: Luckily we stayed and did a second set and the water was perfect for my second set! Hopefully we'll get a ski in today too! Gotta run because we have friends coming over for dinner so I need to get some cooking done before we go to the lake. Have a great Saturday/Sunday everyone!

Pam
 
Free day from exercises today, or any walk. Just took it nice and easy.

Cheryl, I hope closing the bedroom window will help with getting enough sleep at night. You poor thing.

Eunice, It's hard on a parents knowing bullies are out there. You are doing very good listening to your body. You are the pro.

Julie, I took the 1RM once, from there if I could stand to user heavier weight or lighter weight, I would write that down. I would use that as my guide. I won't go through that again. Fantastic job on doubling up. I decided, that if I have the energy to do it, then why not. It can only do a body good. Good for you! My sister has been showing signs for a few years now. It's really getting serious, when she had a bus full of children and got lost.:( Not good. She finally retired and getting situated with Social Security. My other sister is helping her through this. I believe everyone is checking on her more than usual. Even I call her at least once a week now. I'm afraid for her daughter though. She is in her 40's and had brain damage while she was growing in the womb. Long and very sad story. Mys sister needs to give her medication in order for her to live a rather healthy life. She can't go to bathroom, brush her teeth or shower on her own. Melody (my sissy) must sometimes forget about these things. Thanks for the hugs.

Pam, My sister isn't being forgetful, she has Alzheimer's for sure. I'm not a doctor, but because I saw what my Mom had to go through, I'm convinced my sister has it.:( Thank you for the hug. I have ABC 1. It's pretty good, but I think it's for beginners. I hear ABC 2 is much much better. How would you rate the intensity? Good job on your cardios and the ab work. Awe. Sorry about the weather condition when it was your turn to ski. At least on the second set you were able to have a perfect ski adventure. Have fun out there this weekend. Enjoy your friends.

Have a good one everyone,

Janie
 
Eunice I closed the window last night I slept really well. I hope Stacy and Sam feel better soon.

Julie I never did the 1RM testing, I just lift what I know I can do. You really were energetic today. The more you do Step Moves the easier it will get. I rooster would be really fustrating too. I think I hear him now because the windows are now open. I close them at night now but when it gets really hot I will want them open again. I hope he is sleeping through the night by that time.

Pam Yep the Canucks did win 1-0. There are two more games left and we only have to win one of them to win the cup. It is so stressful to watch. They left to go back to Boston for a game on Monday. They haven't done so well there so we may be back in Vancouver for game 7 on Wednesday. That sucks that the wind kicked up when you were out on the water. At least you got another turn at it.

Janie (((((HUGS))))). Alzheimer's is a horrible disease. At least your sister is able to help out. It is tough for your niece since she is not able to look after herself either. My grandmother had alzheimer's and she was going out for her hairdresser's appointments at midnight which is dangerous. We had to put her in a care home because she couldn't be left alone at all.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Cheryl
 
Julie That happen to all of us, we get so excited about the heavy weight we are about to lift, but when we get there we find our self changing them, I've being there, done that, you'll see that next time you'll do better;) Anyways you did awesome today with the double shots, triple shots oh men that's awesome!!! Yes I know I have to pay attention to Stacy more than normal I hope I can get her a appointment tomorrow.


Pam That's good that you are able to use someones else DVDs I'm pretty much stacked to Cathe I haven't find any one that I like as much I do like her, well besides ShaunT that I'll do Insanity once a year! That is going to be fun if we get to meet one day I hope Cathe does another San Diego RT that was the best ever!! Very spoiled you don't have to travel during the day to get shower, everything in the same place! OMG what are we going to do, poor little kids, I know Stacy its being having fever during the night and this horrible cough, during the day she is fine.. I think Sam its better too! Yeah I need to plan my next STS maybe 2 more weeks. Good job doing CBC/BC from 4DS and core sound like a very good mix. So sorry that the wind was loving you last night, so funny that it was only for you at least it was only once.:p Have fun at your dinner!


Janie A break its a really good thing you can have for your self.. love it! I know that its just awful and more when one of my girls are being affected by, this never had happened to any other girl! New for me too!:mad:

CheryI was thinking about you... The night before yesterday we had some music so loud that Rachel had to sleep over in Stacy's room, that is in the other side of our house, those neighbors are always having party's and being so loud, too bad we can not do anything about it.. It was hard to fall asleep but I did.:D I hope your team is the winner's of the cup!

Well today is the Quinn's birthday so there is no school or job everyone is at home, only for DH he went to the store to get ink so Brandy can do her homework. Yesterday I was able to do my workout I was supposed to run but I didn't I did kickbox only from 4DS and shoulders from slow/heavy today I did Maximum Intensity Cardio an oldie but a tough workout I can feel my ankles getting sore hahaha!!! It should be my legs not my ankles tough! Well have a good day tomorrow I will try to take Stacy to the see the Dr. and Wed. DH has another appointment with the Orthopedic I'll try to check.
 
Janie Your nice and easy day sounds great, good for you!
Awwww, that is so sad about your sister, Alzheimer's is really a terrible disease. :( It must have been very scary when she got lost with a bus full of kids. Are they making any progress at all in treatment options?
I haven't tried ABC2 yet, but when I do I will give my full report.

Cheryl Glad to hear that you were able to get a good night's sleep with the window closed, but hopefully you won't have to always keep your windows closed!
Good luck to your team in Boston tonight!! Hopefully they will win and wrap it up, but you know it's always more special to win at home! I'd rather not have the stress of the must win game though!

Eunice Cathe is still mhy favorite, but I like to mix it up with some other instructors sometimes too. That Shaun T and I don't get along so well though! :D I have been reading about Asylum though and it sounds a lot different than insanity. It sounds like I might like it, but I have enough to keep me busy for awhile.
Poor Stacy, hope she is feeling better soon!
My family all thought that it was quite funny that it was only windy for me. DH was nice though, later when it was nice and calm he told me to go ahead and ski then to be sure I had some good water for my second set.
Great job on 4DS kickbox, S&H shoulders and MIC. I have only done MIC a few times but it is a great calorie burner! You're right though, the ankles are not supposed to be getting sore!! What's up with that?!

Well this is my active recovery week so I started with the original Body Max (everything except the upper body work). That is such a fun workout! Yesterday was my day off so no workout, but we did get a ski in. My hands are so sore and blistered and callaused from skiing 3 days in a row. DH and I were both wondering if we could even ski again yesterday because our hands hurt so much! After 1 pass they stopped screaming and were just numb. It was so funny on Saturday, DH put his ski on and went to get in the water and looked down and there was a little green frog sitting on the side of his ski! He put him in the water and he jumped onto the side of the boat and he rode on the boat with us for awhile, but we ended up losing him. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Happy Monday!

Pam
 
This morning I did HiiT DWP and I’ll be doing disc 16 Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps tonight when I get home! I'm really tired today and had a momentary thought of skipping my morning workout but got up anyway because I am a glutton for punishment. The weekend was super busy. I spent all day Saturday installing a closet system in our bedroom and then Sunday we got up early and ran a lot of errands and did housework all day. I also have a tooth that is acting up lately (cold sensitivity) so now I have to go to the dentist tomorrow afternoon. :(

Pam Great job on CB Cardio Only and tacking on 4DS Bootcamp Cardio and then Abs W&P! I think the CB Cardio Only premix is too short and really doesn’t feel like I did much so I usually like to tack onto it too. That’s a bummer that you had a bad first go round with skiing especially when everyone else seemed to have a great set. Good thing your second set was better! Great job on BM original! That is too funny about the frog! I bet he had a good time! :eek:

Janie Your complete rest day sounds amazing! I was hoping to have one this weekend but we had so much to do at home and errands to run. Same thing this coming weekend! Maybe someday though. That is very saddening about your sister and her daughter. :( I hope your sister has a plan for how to care for her daughter when she can’t. If she is still with it some of the time, maybe she should look into options now and get everything straight just in case. Is there medicine she can be taking to help lessen the symptoms or progress of the disease? I thought there might be more options now than years ago with Alzheimer’s but I don’t know what Social Security would cover.

Cheryl Hopefully you are getting better sleep and the baby will be sleeping better in another month or so when it gets hot. I was planning on doing the 1RM before each session of STS but I think I will skip it and just base my weight off of the last STS round I did. I don’t feel doing the testing this first time was a total waste of time but I just wish it would have been more accurate. There are times I am lowering my weight significantly from the 1RM results. Oh well, live and learn! Hope the Canucks pull out a win for you tonight! :D

Eunice Great job on 4DS Kickbox and SH shoulders! I love the 4DS Kickbox cardio! That one is so much fun and you get a great workout in such a little time. MIC is another great calorie burner! That one is one Ido when I know I'm going to be eating bad! I usually do that one or Intensity around the holidays when I know there will be too much good food to avoid. :p Sounds like the next few days will be busy with doctor’s appointments. Hope everything goes well with those.

Have a good Monday!
 
PamEnjoy your recovery week , good job on BM original we always end up picking the hard ones for recovery week.... I know we are crazy my last recovery week I joined the girls at the gym for spinning twice per week and I mentioned that that was my recovery week, they were surprise that such a hard workout for some of them was a recovery, light workout for my self:p I want to get Asylum too, but around that time Cathe announced the presale so I make my self to pick and choose... of course I picked Cathe I'll wait to get Asylum one day I will. Oh my Stacy last night started to get worse her eyes were draining and it looked as if she got punched on her face:confused: So worry about that, but she is so good, she just kept saying my eye hurts, my face hurts, good she slept till 8:30 this morning and I GOT her appointment today @3:30 poor baby..:( I know, my ankles should be the last body part getting sore but I think it was my calves feeling it too I think it is because all the jumping on that video but I'm fine today.... To fun about the frog, that must had hurt on your hands, you don't wear gloves for that? if you can you should, take care of your hands if not its going to hurt when you get to lift weights!! Some times I wish I could wear gloves while moping the floors!

Julie Good job on Hiit DWP and have fun doing disc 16 latter I love to work my chest/shoulders...triceps NOT very much because they are kind of weak so even when I don't like I HAVE to if I don't want to wiggle my arms:eek: Sounds like a pretty busy weekend you had, and I get it when we have to fight with our selfs to get our workout done, but remember some times we have to listen to our body's too so we can tackle the next day with lots of energy;) Have fun at your dentist appointment.:D Oh my Stacy got worse last night deff sinus infection or ear infection we'll see today I got appointment for her @3:30 hopefully she get better soon!

Well today I'm doing S&H chest and back I know Stacy is sick but she is really good letting me workout, right now she is not to bad like at night time and we have time her appointment is till 3:30 I hope she is good for tomorrow I know she won't be going to school maybe till wed. but she can come with us tomorrow to Melbourne we'll see.
Have a great day everyone is Tuesday already I can't believe time goes by so fast....:confused::p:)
 
ARRRRRGGGG it's 4-1 for Boston in the third. It looks like there is going to be a game 7 :mad:. This is just so stressful.

Eunice Loud music is really annoying. I don't blame Rachel for moving. Some people are so inconsiderate. We had a teenager who would play loud music have a bunch of kids over and smoke pot. We called the police a lot when they lived next to us. I am so glad that they are gone, I would much rather put up with a crying baby. Good job on your workouts, MIC is a oldie but a goodie.

Pam It looks like the Canuks want to do this at home. It is way too stressful I just want it over with now. Sounds like you need to get your hands conditioned to waterskiing again. So funny about the frog. He probably thought it looked like fun and wanted to try it out :D.

Julie Good for you not skipping your workout even though you were tired. You did have a busy weekend but I bet your place is looking really good with all the work you have put into it. My brother will be out your way tomorrow and Wednesday for a convention. He won't be right in Chicago but in a area that is like Silicon Valley, I can't remember the name of the area. He is going to have to find a tv that is showing the hockey game on Wednesday.

Today instead of doing Imax 3 I did Zumba during lunch. It was such a fun workout and boy do you sweat. I am thinking of going down to our Rec Centre to see how much they charge for it.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Cheryl
 
Did TBS, abs and stretching.

Just a little heads up. My other group is dwindling so badly, so I suggested to one person tonight that maybe we can meld here. There are about 2-3 people left. It may not happen, just wanted to see what you all thought just in case they want to do it.

Eunice, Happy Holiday to you.:D Love the kickboxing, it's so much fun. Great job on Max. Int. Cardio. Wow, that one is a toughie. Good for you! Let us know how Stacy and your hubby fairs.;)

Pam, There is really nothing to be done yet with that disease. I can't wait for the ABC report. I think that sounds like so much fun.:D Yeah, I like BM too. Glad to here you got your ski in. You guys must love it so much to endure pain in your hands like that. Even to the point where they are numb. Dedication and fun for sure. How cute about the frog. Brave little guy I must say.:rolleyes:

Julie, Great job on Hiit DWP. Whew! That's a good one. You are so good to have no motivation and yet did your exercises anyway. I take my hat off to you. Sounds like you had quite the weekend with errands, tooth and closet. Now you have more room for more clothes!:D I think my sister has a plan that she would like, but nothing in writing. I should encourage her to do just that. Thank you. There's nothing for this disease yet.:(

Cheryl, Great job on Zumba. Is it really as much fun as I think it is? I love dancing. Should I consider getting it too? Report please.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Julie Great job on Hiit DWP and disc 16. I went ahead and congratulated you on that one since I have no doubt you did it last night!You sure did have the busy weekend! Wow! You guys won't know what to do with yourselves when all of the remodeling work is done.
Ick, I hate going to the dentist :( Sorry about that nasty tooth

Eunice Isn't it funny how we pick the hard ones during recovery week?! I did Intensity this morning and was wondering to myself if this counts as recovery?! :confused: It does say ACTIVE recobvery and just no weights so I think it's all good! I love spinning classes, I can't wait for Cathe's spinning DVD! I think you made the right choice with Cathe's presale over Asylum too. So sorry to hear that Stacy is doing worse, hopefully the Doctor will be able to give her something today to give her the boost she needs to get well again. poor thing!
Yes I do wear gloves when I ski and they help, but my hands still get pretty torn up. It's especially bad now because the water is so warm and it makes your skin really soft which just leads to blisters. Oh well, we have all week for them to recover now.
Great job with S&H chest and back!

Cheryl Oh boy, we turned on the hockey game last night and it was right at the start of the 3rd period and was 4-0. I thought about you right away. At least they will be back home when they win the cup, right?! :rolleyes:
Great job on Zumba! I have never done it but I've heard that it is a lot of fun. I need to try it out one of these days!

Janie Great job on TBS, abs and stretching. You must have been working out with Joey! :p
I think it would be great to have someone from your other group join us. The more the merrier! We seem to keep losing folks too. I wonder whatever happened to Helen?
I still haven't tried the ABC workout, maybe tomorrow......

So as i said, this morning I did Intensity. I was emphasizing the ACTIVE part of active recovery :rolleyes: It was great fun as always and didn't seem quite as hard as the last time that I did it. We went out for frozen custard after dinner so needed to work that off! I hope everyone has a great Tuesday/Wednesday!

Pam
 
Last night I did disc 16 CST and loved it. I wasn’t always able to complete the last rep in each set completely (they were sometimes partials) but I figure that is what you are supposed to do: FAIL!!!! I am really loving STS and already have my next round planned to start this fall. This morning I did CTX Kickbox Cardio only and then I did the Cardio Quick Fix that Cathe put together for the STS w/cardio (not STS cardio) rotation. It was 1 minute each of Jumping Jacks, Stair Climbing, Jump Rope, Jog in Place, and Front/Back Kicks repeating that 5 minute sequence 4 times.

Eunice Great job on SH Chest & Back! I love working my chest and back! I am with you on the triceps work! It is a necessary evil. I am so weak in my triceps but I got work on getting them stronger to fight the flappy arms. I am horrible at listening to my body as I just push myself through whatever is on schedule. I really do feel less tired today. Oh I really hope Stacy can get better. Sinus infections are horrible. My DH is dealing with one of those right now. It is just so hard to want to do anything when you head is pounding and there is pressure all over your face.

Cheryl Great job on Zumba! I have heard what a great calorie burner that is but have been leery about trying it as I really do have 2 left feet and can’t follow complex choreography sometimes (well you know my 4DS HIS and Step Moves issues). I asked DH last night before the hockey game who was going to win. He said the Bruins would win but that Canucks would take game 7. Let’s hope he is right! I am not sure where that would be that your brother is going. I can’t say I go up to Chicago much. Hopefully he finds a TV so he can see the Canucks win!

Janie Great job on TBS, abs, and stretching! I still just think it is so awesome that you and Joey work out together. Every time I see that you did TBS, I smile thinking of the two of you together! I have no problems with others joining out group. The more the merrier (or as our title says there are “strength in numbers”). I have those days every once in a while where I just don’t feel like working out but a couple of minutes into the warm up and I am back into the swing of things. I do love my closet now but not as much as my exercise room!

Pam Great job on Intensity! I did that one during my active recovery week too. I seemed to pick out the more intense cardio workouts for that week as I also did Cardio Fusion which is a doozy! Don’t worry about me, I will not have a problem finding something else to do with my time when the remodeling is all done. There is always cleaning or organizing to be done.

Have a good Tuesday!
 
I can hardly wait until the playoffs are over. I am feeling really stressed right now and my stomach is doing flip flops. So game 7 is tomorrow and ticket prices are through the roof. The average price for 1 ticket is $3,000 (yes you read that right). No wonder why we can never afford to go. I have no idea how other people can afford to go either. Well I hope we do win tomorrow since all the sports media is now trash talking us :confused:. They are saying things like the Canucks are the worst team in human history to even be a contender. Another says that we are a bunch of sissys and don't deserve to win. All this is coming from all the cities where their teams were knocked out or never made the playoffs :rolleyes:. I think they are jealous.

Janie I don't have a problem with other people wanting to join us. The more the merrier. Tell them to come on over. Zumba is a whole lot of fun and you would enjoy it. I don't know what to get on DVD as we had an instructor come in but I would recommend trying it out.

Pam Wasn't that something last night :rolleyes:. I turned if off when it was 4-0 in the first period. I don't know why they do so bad in Boston. I am worried about tomorrow's game since hardly any goals are scored here. You would like Zumba, the time just flys by. You know you are getting more fit when Intensity seems to be getting easier.

Julie Don't worry about not being able to do the last reps in each set, you are doing really well. I will join you in your next round of STS. I haven't done it in a while and I would like to do it again. Don't worry about having two left feet in Zumba you just do what you can. No one cares if you are doing it the same as everone else just as long as you are having fun. I hope Jason it right about the Canucks winning game 7. The place my brother is going to is called Oakville I think???? I hope he can find a TV since it could be history making for Vancouver.

I have had a hard time sleeping this week, man I need these playoffs over with. I keep telling myself that it is just a game.......but I can't help stressing over it.

Have a great Wednesday everyone, keep your fingers crossed for our Canucks.

Cheryl
 
Did Rhythmic Step. Wow

Also hot tubed, made beads and fed the hummingbird fresh nectar.

Pam, Great job on Intensity. I've never had frozen custard. Where do you get it? I think I'm missing out.:rolleyes:

Julie, Great job on disc 16. And this mornings CTX Kickbox Cardio only and the Quick Fix.

Cheryl, What? $3,000 for a ticket? That's insane. I hope the Canucks win tomorrow.;)

Have a good one everyone,

Janie

Have a better day everyone..;):D
 
Julie Great job on disc 16! it's nice to like those chest and shoulders workouts again huh?! I think it's perfect if you can't quite complete the last rep, that means your weights are right on! Great job on CTX kickbox cardio and the cardio quick fix!
Oh boy, Intensity and Cardio Fusion both during active recovery! I guess I don't feel so bad!

Cheryl Sorry about that game 7 stress, Those are crazy ticket prices, I can't believe anyone would pay that much :confused: It always makes me wonder what these people do for a living if they are able to pay that much for a ticket to a hocky game. We will be rooting for your team tonight! I think it's crazy how the media makes those kinds of comments, they beat all of these other teams, so what does it say about those teams?! They just need to swallow their sour grapes.

Janie Great job on Rhythmic Step, one of my all time favorites! Sounds like you had a great day with the tubbing and beading. I just made fresh nectar for my hummingbirds yesterday too. They had completely drained the feeder!
Frozen custard is sooooo good. It's even more sinful than ice cream. We have a local place called Goodberries that sells it and they make something called a concrete where you can have them mix anything you want into it. ummmmmm

Eunice Oh my goodness, what a day you had! I don't know what a torn labrum is, but it doesn't sound good. Hopefully you were able to get antibiotics for Stacy and she will be feeling better soon? And what the heck is going on with Sam? my goodness! You need a dose of Cathe for sure. :rolleyes:
I hope you had fun at bunko even though you didn't want to go. I used to go to the neighborhood bunko nights but usually I didn't really feel like going so I dropped out. It's much better to be a sub because they always need subs, so that way you can just go whenever you feel like it. Of course that ended up being never for me! ;)

Well I still didn't try ABC2. I was tired this morning and didn't feel like tackling something new, so I went with the T&T Step Blast. I wanted to do Mindy's awesome intervals but I looked through my DVDs 3 times and couldn't find it so I gave up. I need to go look tonight, it will probably jump right out at me. :confused: Step Blast is always fun, but I feel like I've done it a lot lately. Then I did the abs from SJ&P. Have a great Wednesday/Thursday everyone. Eunice, I sure hope you have a better day!

This morning was disc disc 17: LEGS!!!! I am already feeling the DOMS setting in. I think my dogs were trying to sabotage my attempts to go to work today. We had really bad thunderstorms this morning which Maggie is afraid of so instead of going outside with Oscar, she decided to pee on our floor. :mad: I cleaned that up, got in the shower, went to my closet to get dressed and one of them had vomited right in front of the closet! :confused: So, I ended up missing my vanpool ride in and had to drive myself in to work today. Oh and last night the dentist gave me the wonderful news that I need to have a root canal done. The earliest appointment I could get is July 1st!!!!! :mad: I guess I will just chew on my left side for the next 2 weeks. :rolleyes:

Cheryl Hopefully if not tonight then you will start getting better sleep tomorrow. I imagine if the Canucks win you will be too excited to sleep but then again you may be so relieved and exhausted you will have the best night’s sleep in your life. I have never heard of Oakville but I have been to Oak Brook. They have a really great mall there! :D That would be awesome if you started an STS rotation with me! I am starting the next one on September 19. I figured that would put my active recovery weeks on Thanksgiving week and Christmas! Plus I will be done with my last recovery week at the end of the year and ready for whatever fat-burning rotation Cathe dreams up for January 2012! :eek:

Janie Great job on RS!! Such a great workout that is also so much fun! Hot tubing sounds so good right now. My chest and triceps are still domming it out from Monday night and my legs are definitely going to be talking to me later! :p

Eunice So sorry you had a terrible day. :( Surgery for DH does not sound good and I am sure he is not happy about it. Hopefully, it will fix the problem. I hope the doctor was able to give Stacy something for her infection. Poor Sam to have to stay at the vet overnight. I think it is just one of those weeks. I am having a horrible week and hope that it gets better by the weekend. I hope you are having a better day.

Pam Great job on T&T Step Blast + abs! Abs was the one thing I forgot to do during my active recovery week. I will have to make sure to add it in next time and maybe try to lighten up on the intensity a little. :rolleyes: I do love the chest and shoulders workouts now that there is not endless pushups to be done! I do keep thinking about the last chest workout in M2 with the couple of sets of pushups tacked on at the end…ugh!! :eek:

Happy Wednesday!
 
Pam Good job on T&T Step Blast and abs, I know when we want something we never can find it and when we don't need it anymore there, it is!!! To funny!!! so far its OK now DH is working on paper work he needed a referral to another orthopedic because the one we saw yesterday doesn't do that kind of surgery's I mean DH has a very damage laburm he say extreme torn so yeah and Stacy I think the medicine is finally working and she is being just her self, which is a good thing:p Sam still at the vet's office he needed a XRay to see what he has in his belly they couldn't see anything they fed him and gave him water and there he was trowing up again so they need to keep him I hope not for much longer!! whew:confused: I wonder how much we are going to have to pay! Oh men bunco is not even that fun I'm always one of the last ones to pick a gift so I always get the worse thing left, and there is always bad food I had 3 crackers with some kind of dip, a slice of cake a cup of coffee I know it doesn't sound like a lot but that was enough to get me sick:eek:


Julie Good job on legs woohoo!! you are going to feel it tomorrow for sure!I'm glad you are enjoying meso 2!!:D Dogs, dogs, dogs, what are we going to do?!? Sorry to hear that yours were giving you a little trouble too! Oh men and then root canal that is so painful too my daughter Brandy got one and she was on pain, hope you get better soon! Well DH wasn't happy about it but hes is relieve he told me I want to hear or NOT surgery or Surgery I don't want to hear we don't know what's the problem so now he can wait to get fix. You are right is one of those weeks of the year where is EVERYTHING or nothing I hope that's it for a while, but Sam still at the vet they don't know why he is trowing up, yes he did it again this morning at the vets office and because he still puppy they don't think is intestinal which adults dogs get I think is all that stuff he had ate and is stuck some where inside him hopefully they can fix him too.:(

Cheryl I hear that you want to do STS again let's planned out I want to do a short version of the six month rotation what I mean is meso1 only one month and meso2 & 3 would be 4 months I want to do it before my BIG birthday I want to get there strong and with lots of muscle:p So who win the cup? Hopefully your team!!

Well today I did Slow & Heavy legs and shoulders while waiting for the vet to call they didn't DH called them and we have to check back at 5pm cleaning and eating and dealing with Stacy for now... at least I got my Cathe fix that always help.
Have a great day everyone:D
 
Did TBS:rolleyes: with my Joey today. Along with abs and stretches with Cathe. I've been so busy, haven't been walking for awhile. Poor Rolly. I promised him I would take him (weather permitted) out for a very long walk tomorrow.

Looks like the group will continue on. They all showed up this evening. They are such great personalities. I'm glad we all decided to hang in there.

Eunice, Awe, I'm sorry you had "one of those days". Please keep us posted on everything. (((((hugs))))) and more (((((hugs))))).

Pam, You are so lucky to have a place to sell frozen custard. It sounds heavenly! It's OK if you haven't tried ABC2 yet. When you do, just let me have your review. Great job by the way on T&T Step Blast and abs. Mindy is around somewhere, she'll show up.:)

Julie, Great job on those STS Legs disc 17. DOMs are a good thing for sure. Your day sounds as bad as Eunice's! Animals must have been so frightened of those thunderstorms. I hear a root canal is not so bad these days. It will be OK. It seems like an awful long time to wait though.:(

Have a good one everyone,

Janie
