Strength in Numbers

This morning I did Cycle Max. I sure hope Cathe comes out with some more spinning videos soon because I think I may wear Cycle Max out. Well, DH decided he wants to work out starting next Monday. He wants to do P90X and he wants me to do it with him. While I am happy he is making an effort, I’m kind of bummed that I have to stop my STS rotation and miss meso 3 :(. But I will be a good wife and do this for him.

Pam Great job on BM2! Yep that workout flies by and does not feel as long as it really is. Well, last night Maggie was laying on the bed in between me and DH and Ozzie walked right over her plopped down right in between our heads. DH let him stay there for a while and then moved him to the end of the bed, turned off the light and lay down. 5 seconds later, Ozzie gets up, walks over Maggie and plops down again right in between our heads. That went on for a few times before DH got up and put Ozzie in the dog bed on the floor and told him to lay down and stay. He actually did for most of the night until DH got up around 1 to go to the bathroom and then Ozzie figured that was his chance. We just let him stay there because we were too tired to deal with it. My parents are in love with him. They think he is so adorable and he was such a snuggler with my mom on Saturday. Great job on Yoga Relax and Athletic Training! I was going to push you to do Imax 2 tomorrow but then I remembered the Jeannie hops may not be that great for your ankle. If you do decide to do it, I won’t judge you if you sub for the Jeannie hops this time! ;)

Cheryl Great job on yoga! You did better than me. I got distracted with Ozzie and didn’t get yoga in :eek: but DH and I did take the dogs for a walk. The PBC was different than I expected. You only do the pyramid up portion of each exercise but you do the leg press twice and you don’t do the stability ball leg work or ab work. Ozzie and Maggie are getting along, no fights so that is good. They don’t play together though. Ozzie wants to play but Maggie just won’t do it. We have to be careful with that though. Maggie has hip dysplasia and a bad back and he likes to jump on her back. It will take some training before he realizes he just can’t do that with her.

Eunice Great job on disc 4! I bet DH wasn’t excited to be going back to work but I understand it will be nice for you to get back to your normal routine again and be able to do things on your time. The Pyramid Bonus Combo is on the Pyramid Upper and Pyramid Lower DVD. It combines the pyramid up weight work for upper and lower body. It was a really good total body workout. Yep we definitely need to work on the sleeping arrangements. They were a little better last night but we have a lot of work to do yet. Oh wow, I am not flexible at all. I could not even imagine trying to get into the splits let along get my leg up over my head! :confused:

Have a great day!
 
Eunice It is a lot of money but it is one thing we really can't do without. I am really going to try to workout 6 days a week. We will try to do it together. Those push ups are a killer aren't they. That is the one thing I don't look forward to in meso 1. Glad that you got to talk to your sister again. You have a few years to catch up on. Sounds like your house is going to get quite but I think you and Sam will be able to handle it ;).

Pam So far so good with work. We had someone come in tonight to give us a quote. We have another person coming tomorrow too. The hip opening stretches really do feel good once you are done. Good job on yoga relax and AT. I think that is on tap for me on Wednesday.

Julie You are a good wife to give up STS to do P90X with DH. I hope it works out for you guys. I guess all of your workouts will now need to be done in the evening instead of the morning? I am glad that Ozzie and Maggie are getting along. It sounds like he is fitting in really well with everyone.

Well tomorrow I will have to change my workouts to the morning no matter how tired I am. I was going to do my workout tonight but by the time the furnance guy left and we had dinner and cleaned up it was too late to do it. I now have my alarm set for 3:50 am to get my leg work done :eek:. We have another company coming over tomorrow night for a quote and I don't want to miss another workout. I have missed too many as it is.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Julie Great job on Cycle Max, I wonder if Cathe will come out with some more spinning videos? Have you tried any of the spinervals ones? They are pretty good too. I have never done P90X, have you done it before? Someone was just asking me about theP90x yoga, but I couldn't give an opinion. I did let him borrow my Cathe yoga discs though since I have the downloads too. You are a really good wife skipping meso 3 to do P90X with your DH. I bet your DH doesn't have any idea what a huge sacrifice this is that you're making for him! OMG, I hope you guys get the sleeping arrangement figured out soon! Ozzie sounds like a real sweetie though! So funny that he wants to be right between your heads! Do your parents have any dogs?

Cheryl I'm glad to hear that work is going better so far this week. Having to deal with the furnace issue while having all of that stress at work would be een worse. I hope you were able to get up and get your workout in this morning. 3:50 is awfully early :confused:

I am happy to report that this morning I did all of Imax 2, Jeannie hops and all! :D I was out of tape for my ankle so I went to the drug store last night to get more. The ace ankle supports were only $2 more than the tape so I got one of those instead. I don't think it gives quite as much support as the tape does, but it's a lot easier to deal with. The ankle really didn't bother me until I was just starting the 9th interval. Then it started talking to me a little but not too bad. I was very careful with all of the jumps about trying to land softly. Janie, I'm thinking you are at the beach now? I hope you are enjoying yourself and getting some nice long walks in and not spending all of your time working. Not much has been happening with our basement project lately. The insulation was done a the beginning of last week and nothing more has happened since then. He was trying to get the dry wall done last week but the schedule didn't work out so it's probably going to be the end of this week. I hope everyone has a great day!

Pam
 
This morning I did a spinning.com DVD set in Ireland. Last night I had to take Maggie to the vet because she had blood in her urine. Poor girl has a really bad bladder infection and now has to take a giant antibiotic pill twice a day. :(

Cheryl Yep, my workouts will be in the evenings starting next week. I tried convincing DH to work out in the morning but he likes getting to work early (like 4:30) so it would be pretty hard to get the mornings in without getting up at 2. :confused: As dedicated as I like to be, that ain't happening! I hope you get some good, reasonably priced quotes for your furnace. That is definitely something you cannot do without.

Pam Great job on Imax 2 (Jeannie Hops and all)! That’s great you found something easier than taping. I imagine that would get very tedious to have to tape your ankle before working out every day. I have not tried any spinervals DVDs. Any recommendations? I have never done P90X before. I previewed the workouts and I have a feeling that Tony Horton will get on my nerves probably by week 2. :rolleyes: We are still working on the sleeping. Last night Ozzie stayed on his dog bed until about 2 again. If he could just stay there another hour and a half, that would be great. No my parents do not have any dogs. My dad has always been a dog person but my mom did not like dogs until we brought Oscar home to her 12 years ago. Since that, she has been a dog lover.

Have a great day!
 
Pam I did get up early and got my workout in. I slept pretty good last night so it wasn't too hard. Way to go in being able to do all of Imax 2 Jeannie hops and all :p. I hope things start moving again on your basement. It will be so nice to get it all finished.

Julie Good job on your spinning DVD. Poor Maggie that is not fun to have a bladder infection. Well at least you can give a dog a pill easier that a cat. I hate having to give our guys pills it is quite the ordeal. No 2am is waaay too early to workout. Too bad your DH wants to be at work so early.

Well this morning I was able to get up early and workout. It was STS disk 17 legs. Tonight we had someone else come over about the furnace. Not confident in this guy at all. He was only here for 15 minutes and I didn't feel like if they did the work that it would be a good job. Right now we are leaning towards the first guy who came over. He spent an hour with us going over our options. We just found out that the Federal Government just pulled their funding so the high efficient furnance would now cost $700 more. They do have some mid efficient furnaces in stock. Up here we are no longer able to buy mid efficient furnaces but the contrators can use up what they still have in stock.

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Cheryl
 
Pam You should take pictures of the tables with those donuts, awww labs are fast when they see something yummy Sam has done that with Stacy I think because of her being short and walking around sometimes with food on her hand Sam gets to try it. Oh boy I have being so busy this week than I haven't have any time to practice the step of LIC and I think its coming up again soon:confused: I know my sister and brother just saw me shiny and like a wet puppy but they didn't get to smell me, scary!:eek::confused: slowly but surely tomorrow its Brandy's turn to go back to school then Friday the girls are going back, hehehehe!!! Wow how did you like the Yoga relax I haven't done that one yet. Good job doing Athletic training too.:D

Julie Good job doing Cycle Max I do think so too, you have being doing that one a little bit often? Wow! you are a great wife giving up STS for P90X I think you are going to like it and you are going to have fun. You would think that but NOT he was ready to go to work besides it was time for him to go back to work if I wanted to be sane:eek: OK I have never try to do that Premix from the Pyramid DVD but it does sounded good. Well I hope the sleeping its getting better for you.

Cheryl Well I guess you are right that is something you cannot live with out it, and if you are some kind of ready for that its a bit easier, I know when we get unexpected expenses its awful to do it, I hate giving away money because of someone messed up with the bills or something. You are right Sam and I going to be able to handle it, so much easy to do that.:p That is early 3:50am to get up and workout, but good for you for doing it. Good job

Pam Congratulations for doing Imax2 :D:D with the Jeannie hops I'm glad that your ankle did good I hope it doesn't talk to you during the day though!

Cheryl Good job getting up early to do disc 17 legs, I hope you get to figure out the furnace soon, are you guys being to cold? That sucks that the government pulled their funding and now its going to be more expensive.:(

Well yesterday I didn't get to post but I did the Turbo Barre workout for the first time ever, when I saw how long it was I thought to my self, "wow, that its long" but then it didn't felt that long at all and I was feeling it most on my standing leg more than the leg I was using:eek: isn't weird? are you guys feel the same? anyways I got a good workout most I feel is my ham's and calves the core work was a good one too, the elbow touching the floor and the other arm lifting wow! I felt that one, I think I liked it.
Today I did AfterBurn again it was good too.
I don't know what had happen with the weather yesterday and today it was soooooooo cold 15C freezing and todays it was 17'sC to the 25'sC it felt good the past week we were getting 39'sC it was a very drastic change though.
I hope everyone its having a good time.:D

I'm back two things I wanted to mention I just saw that at least for two months we have LIC every friday:eek::confused::mad: I don't think I do like it that much!!!
The other thing I was thinking is that we have started a new year 2012!!! yayay!! should we have started a new thread? Just wondering you don't have too, but I thought about it.

Julie Great job on your spinning video. Poor Maggie :(, hopefully the antibiotics will kick in quickly. That must have been scary for you! It is no fun at all trying to give pets medicine either! Yes the taping does get tedious but I'm finding the Ace thing kind've annoying. It's pretty thick on the bottom so it's not very comfortable on the bottom of my foot. :confused: So far though once I get into my workout I am not noticing it too much. That is one of the comments I have heard about P90X, that people just can't take Tony Horton. Hang int there and remember it is for a good cause! The Spinervals dvd that I have is called Fitness 3.0 into the red zone. He has one called Lean and Mean that sounds really good too. Hopefully if you keep working on Ozzie he will start staying in his own bed.

Cheryl I was going to say great job getting up at the crack of dawn and getting your workout in, but that is BEFORE the crack of dawn! Very impressive! I'm glad you had a good nights sleep too! The last guy that you had give you a quote sounds like someone you should stay away from. If he's not that interested now, I can't imagine he would do a good job. What a bummer that the gov't pulled the funding. :(
Will a mid efficiency end up costing more in the long run?

Eunice I probably won't be carrying a camera at the race, but if I do I will take some pictures of the donuts for you! There are usally lots of pictures taken and posted though. A lot of people wear funny costumes and do silly things. One year a guy from ESPN ran the whole race in a suit and tie. Good for you, you are gradually getting your house back to yourself! Hooray! Yoga Relax is pretty good. I think I like it better than Yoga Max. I wasn't sure I could take the whole thing the first time I tried it so I did and express premix, now I'm going for the whole thing!
Great job on Turbo Barre! I felt the same way, that it went by really quickly. My support leg doesn't feel it more than the other leg, but it definitely feels it. I do love the core work in it too, especially those elbow touching the floor things. Ouch! Great job on AB too!
It sounds like you are having crazy weather like we are. It's the first day of February and it is going to be 70 degrees today. It feels like spring! I'm not complaining though! OOOooo, I don't think I could do LIC every Friday for 2 months. I think I would be doing some subbing for sure!
Good point, we probably should start a new thread, this one is getting long.
OMG, last night was girls night out and we were drinking pitchers of margaritas. They were sooooo good. I did get up and do Power Hour this morning but now I am sleepy! ZZZZzzzz. Tonight will be easy though because it's just going to be me and Carl, the youngest. Ashley is going to dinner with some friends and DH is in Los Angeles. Have a great day ladies!

Pam
 
This morning I decided to take my rest week to the extreme and sleep in. :eek: I didn’t plan to sleep in. In fact, I had everything ready to do my workout this morning; but, when the alarm went off, I just couldn’t get out of bed. I was so exhausted that I decided to listen to my body and sleep. It felt good so I guess that means something! :rolleyes:

Cheryl Great job on disk 17 and getting up early! Usually Maggie will eat her pill when it is mixed in with her food but sometimes she eats around it and then I have to give it to her in a piece of cheese or something. I don’t think it would be fun to try to give a cat a pill. I’ve heard horror stories about that and am glad dogs are easier to deal with on this case. Well it looks like you have some deciding to do about what type of furnace you want to get. Did the first guy give you a comparison on how much you would save in heating bills between the high and mid efficiency furnaces? I would definitely stay away from the second guy. As Pam said, if he wasn't that interested during the quoting, I can't imagine he would care much on doing the job right.

Eunice Great job on TB! I think the same thing that it doesn’t feel as long as it is. I think it feels shorter because of how much variety is in it. I don’t think I feel it more in my standing leg but I have seen other posts on here about others who feel it more in their standing leg than the working leg. I think you are supposed to feel it in both because you would be working your stabilizer muscles of the standing leg while the other leg is working. Great job on AB! That one is always a goodie! I don’t think I would like to do the same workout every Friday for 3 months. I don’t think it would make a difference if you subbed in other step workouts, like Rhythmic Step, Step Blast, Athletic Step, or Step Moves. My sleeping hasn’t been the greatest but it was better than last week. I’m still pretty stressed about some work things and that has been affecting my sleep. Hopefully things will get better after next Monday when my work project ends.

Pam Great job on PH! Even with drinking margaritas, you still got up and worked out, good girl. I on the other hand have no excuses for not working out this morning except that I was just plain tired. It was pretty scary and I can only imagine it would be easy to not notice blood in your dog’s urine. I only by chance happened to be watching her pee on top of snow and noticed it. Sometimes I wish they could talk to me and tell me what is wrong. When I was previewing P90X, I was thinking Tony wasn’t that bad and then during one of the workouts, he seemed different and was acting arrogant trying to outdo the other exercisers. The DVDs do have an option to turn his chatter off so you only hear the cueing. If DH is fine with the chatter though, I will leave it on and just keep repeating “I love my husband” every time I get annoyed! I’ll keep those spinervals in mind for when I am done with P90X. Yeah, something definitely needs to be done about Ozzie sleeping on our bed. Last night, he was laying horizontally on the bed in between DH and I. I was barely hanging on and had very little covers last night. DH woke up with a back ache. It’s so hard to not want to spoil him though because he has the cutest, scrunchiest face.

Have a great day!
 
I am back from the beach house and painted primer in the bathroom. It took me two days to do all that. It's not like a regular room. Anyhoo, will finish painting it next week sometime or the next time I'm there. Sunday was legs and today was disc 10 chest, shoulders and biceps and abs. I went shopping and purchased for the beach house a platform bed with drawers under it. Joey will be working on my bedroom floor this week (I think) then we can put that up and will have at least one bed to rest in. We can take turns. At least until the other bedroom is painted and carpeted. Then we'll put a bed in that room too. It all takes time. Always a lot more time than I think doing a project.

Cheryl, Great job on Disc 17, legs. Sounds like furnace trouble. We went through that at the beach house, not fun at all. Yikes! Very expensive!

Eunice, Great job on TB. I feel that one in my butt mostly, but man oh man it's a good one. I love it, cause it does such a good job on me. Also good job on AB. Oh, that is cold weather for this time of year in where you are. I think it's a good idea to get another thread going too. Will you do the honors? Will be looking forward to it.

Pam, I haven't had a margaritas in years. Sounds like fun. Great job on PH.

Julie, Sounds like Ozzie is making himself at home. You could put a doggie bed on the floor next your bed. Pet him every now and then. He should get use to that soon. Make sure he has something to chew on and something to snuggle up with. Rolly does that, only he's small and so his bed is on my bed in the corner. It works out good. How nice to sleep in. You deserve that. Glad you listened to your body. You are very wise.

Have a great day everyone,

Janie
 
Eunice No we are not cold. We do have the furnace working right now we just don't know for how long. It does suck that the government pulled the funding. Oh well we will manage. Turbo Barre doesn't feel as long as it is. I do feel it in the standing leg but I don't know if I feel it more than the workin leg. The core work when one elbow touches the floor and the other are is lifting is a hard one. That is quite a temperture change for you. I like it when it is 20 - 25C. That is comfortable for me, 39C is way too hot. I think I will be doing some subbing on Fridays. I like LIC but not to do it every week.

Pam It is early if I do my workouts in the mornings but it does feel good to get it done. The only way I can get up that early is if I get a good nights sleep. The last guy we had here is not getting our business. I did not have good feelings about him. We are going to go with the first guy that came over. The mid efficiency won't cost us more in the long run. The difference is price between a mid and high efficiency is about $1,400 so it would take many years to make up the difference is the heating costs. Even with mid efficiency we will be saving money and our current furnace is only working at 60%. Wow you can go out and drink pitchers of margaritas and still get up to workout :eek:. I am impressed!

Julie Sounds like you needed the rest. Good for you in listening to your body. It is a bit of a challenge giving a cat a pill that is for sure. I do think dogs are easier. We have decided that we will go with the mid efficiency furnace. The first guy didn't give us a comparison on what we would save between the two types of furnaces but we did discuss it with him. It would workout to be a couple of dollars a month in savings so it would take years to pay off the difference between the two. The second guy will not get our business.

Janie Welcome back. Good job on legs and disc 10. Your beach house will look so nice when you are done. It will look like a completly different place with new paint and furniture. Yes it will be a very expensive week. I will talk to the guy tomorrow about when they can install the new one. At least it isn't cold so that helps but I want it replaced in case it does get really cold again. We don't need it really breaking down then.

Well this morning I got up early again and did Athletic Training. This time I didn't really mind the first part of it. Well I have been able to get up early for two mornings.......ummmm can I make it three?

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Julie Good for you sleeping in. You have been going really hard for a long time so I think it's good for you to have that rest. Plus you have to be all ready for Tony next week, right?! I think just plain tired is a good enough reason to sleep in! I was exhausted by the end of the day yesterday! I went to bed at 9:00. It's lucky that you did notice the blood in Maggie's urine. I guess that is one good thing about snow, huh?! How is she doing, any better? I agree that it would be nice if they could tell us what is going on. Especially since their natural instinct is to hide it when they are feeling bad.
I think you are going to have to give us the full report on P90X, I've never even seen one of the workouts. That is crazy that he tries to outdo the other exercisers!!! I'm sure the exhaustion and sleep issues have nothing to do with Ozzie taking over your bed huh? :rolleyes: Isn't it funny though how you will lay there afraid to move because you don't want to disturb them?! I know I am like that with my cats. I just love those cute scrunchy faces tho too!!

Janie Great job getting the bathroom all primed at the beach house. That is not a job I enjoy at all ! What color are you painting the bathroom? Great job on disc 10 too. Oh boy, the bed for the beach house sounds really nice. That will be wonderful having the storage under it. Why is it that projects always take longer than we think they will? You would think once in a while they would take LESS time, but that never seems to happen!

Cheryl I agree, it feels great to get the workouts done in the morning. I really do love starting my day that way. I'm glad to hear you are not going with that second guy. He didn't sound good at all! Wow, $1400 difference for a couple of dollars of savings a month? I'd be with you and go for the mid-efficiency. I'm glad that they still have some.
Great job on AT, I'm glad that it wasn't as tough this time. I think it's good that you are getting the furnace replaced now so that you will be prepared if it does get really cold again! Congrats on getting up early 2 mornings too :D

Next weekend we are going to New York for a mini-vacation. About 2 months or so ago I filled out a form for David Letterman tickets and got a call from them yesterday! The guy left a message saying to call back and they would ask me a trivia question about Letterman and if I got it right the tickets were ours. I was so scared I was shaking when I called back. I looked up a wikipedia page with all kinds of Letterman info and had it up on my computer when I called. The guy was really nice, but asked what time we land on Thursday and said we land too late to be eligible for either taping that day :( We land at 1:00 and he said you have to land by 11:30 to be eligible. BOO! Their web site said they tape at 5:30 and 7:30 pm so figured we would have lots of time, but he said they are taping at 1:30 and 3:30. Bummer. Oh well, I guess this just means we will have to go back. I had even forgotten I sent in for the tickets. Anyhow, as I mentioned to Julie, I was sooo tired by the end of the day yesterday. After dinner I did 1 row of my knitting and then went to bed. This afternoon DH gets home from LA and we have a wine dinner tonight, so tomorrow may be a rough one too :rolleyes: Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
This morning I made up for sleeping in by doing Cycle Max Extreme! My legs are really feeling it. I think every time I do Cycle Max, I push myself a little harder than before. I guess that’s the name of the game though!

Janie Wow! Great job on keeping up with your workouts, legs on Sunday and disc 10 yesterday! Plus getting some time in at the beach house! Sounds like you guys have a good plan for getting things done at the beach house. I know it seems like it takes forever and there is always one more thing that needs to be done but you will get there and it will look beautiful when you are done. Ozzie’s dog bed is next to the bed on DH’s side. I think he is just used to sleeping next to the single woman that owned him before. It is definitely going to be a struggle to force him to sleep on his bed. DH loves the idea of snuggling with him but he just wiggles too much for me.

Cheryl Great job on AT! That is great that you got up early again. That must mean you got a good night’s sleep. Here’s to hoping for three + nights in a row! Wow, that is a big price difference for the furnace and for not saving that much per month. Are you going to try and wait until the end of winter to put the new furnace in or just go ahead and get it done now?

Pam What a bummer about the Letterman tickets! I would have told the guy he needed to update the website to reflect the accurate taping times. Hopefully you will get them next time. If not, I guess that means you need to keep trying! Yep, that is the only benefit of snow, being able to see the color of your dog’s urine! Maggie is feeling much better, or at least acting that way. Over the weekend, she was just looking so depressed and didn’t want to do much. Last night, we took her for a walk and she was so excited jumping up and down. I will be sure to report back on P90X. Maybe I won’t notice Tony as much while doing the workouts. Ozzie was back in our bed last night and this morning DH, said that he and Ozzie might start sleeping upstairs so Maggie and I can have space. It is funny that the pets have no problem moving all over the place despite our comfort but we put them first. But they are worth it. Enjoy your wine dinner!

Have a great day!
 
Did the treadmill today on an incline at 3.4 for 30 min. Burned 180 calories. Joey is at the beach house putting in flooring for my bedroom. Yahoo. He should be getting home Mon. or Tues.

Cheryl, Great job n on AT. You can make another early morning of it.

Pam, That's to bad you weren't able to go to David Letterman. Maybe next time, keep trying, it sounds like fun. I didn't know you knitted, care to show it off. Would love to see some of your work. Enjoy tonight's dinner.

Julie, Great job on CME. I'm so glad Maggie is feeling better. Yep, we do a lot for our animals for sure.

Take care,

Janie
 
Cheryl I'm glad that you are still using the old furnace its just giving you the time to get the new one. I thought it was weird feeling it more on my standing leg:confused: so funny though because when Cathe would do a stretch for the working leg I was doing the stretch for the standing :p my butt muscle was killing me. I know the temperature its being crazy lately I won't complain though I like it 25C too 39C its very, very annoying. I think so too, I will do it one more time then I will subb the LIC for something else. Good job doing Athletic Training. I think so if you can do 2 early mornings you can do more!

JanieWelcome back! Mmmm I bet your house its getting a good "facelift" its going to be wonderful so good! Good job for doing legs and disc 10 chest/shoulders/biceps! I love shopping and if it is for your house its even funner! enjoy! Thanks for giving me the honor to start a new thread but I'm not sure how? so I would give the honor to someone else maybe Pam, Julie, Cheryl or even you! Good job also doing the treadmill workout.

Julie Awesome job Julie taking the morning off was a good idea, you have to prepare for P90X I did it once before Cathe and Tony doesn't bother me, like my mom would say I'm very easy entertained and if a guy make me smile I'm fine with him, and I can spend time and don't get bore.:p Thanks for the ideas of the videos to subb LIC. I hope your project end soon so you can have some peace and quiet and a good sleep as well. Great job doing the cycle max extreme Julie! Sounds like a very extreme workout!

Pam Today was the first day of school for the little ones!!!! Yayay!! Now I just have to get used to the new house:D Good idea about going for half or a premix of Yoga Relax. I guess February its a crazy month in Mexico they called "Febrero Loco y Marzo otro poco" that means Feb crazy and March a little bit more crazy. The weather is one crazy thing. WOW!!! sounds like a fun night drinking pitchers of margaritas, did you get headache the next morning? Good for you for doing Power Hour after a good night of margaritas!!!! Oh Pam that sound like Fun going away to New York!! it sucks that you couldn't get to the show but like you say maybe that means that you are going to have to go back one more time!:D You went early to bed I wish that was me, but what can I say!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek: DH! Enjoy your dinner tonight wine dinner, mmmmm that's what we are having wine diner tonight! :D

Well yesterday I did disc 2 it was back/triceps I hate my little weak muscles of triceps:mad: they always give me a hard time I have to work them out more often:p:D then I did practice the step of LIC only the last section and I think I got it figured out, lets see how it goes I have to do it today and I haven't done it yet, I will do it in a little bit today the girls went back to school and my day its being out of order I have to work to feel normal again :confused: I know is silly but maybe next week I'll be better.
Well tonight I'm coping Pam we are having Red meat with Red wine yummmmo.. Enjoy you weekend its Friday here!!!! :p:D:D
 
Pam It does feel good to get the workout done in the morning and I am hoping I can keep it up. Right now I am really tired but I hope that I have a good nights sleep. We are getting the furance put in on the 17th. I had already planned on taking that day off as vacation so it worked out. I was going to go to Costco instead but I still might be able to fit it in. Have fun in New York. That is really a bummer about the Letterman tickets though. Why does their website not show the correct times?

Julie Good job on Cycle Max Extreme. So far I have done three mornings in a row :eek:. I am wondering if I can go for four. We are getting the furnace installed in a couple of weeks. Our furnace may last for another six months but I just want to get it done sooner rather than later.

Janie Good job on your treadmill work. Your beach house is going to look awesome when you are done.

Eunice So far three early mornings, I am going to try for four. Good job on disc 2. So how did the last combo in LIC go after you practiced it. You will get back into your routine again. They started school on a Friday?

This morning was TBTUB. I found the planks with the tricep kickbacks hard this morning. I am going to try again tomorrow morning to see if I can get up early again. LIC is on tap but I may do something that is only 30-40 minutes long. I will see how tired I am tomorrow morning.

Happy Friday!!!!

Julie Great job on CME! I was reading your post about how you push yourself harder every time you do it and I was thinking I ddo too. Of course then I remembered I have only done it twice! :D But so far I have pushed myself harder every time. I'm glad to hear that Maggie is feeling so much better. I bet you won't notice Tony when you are working out because you'll be thinking more about the workout than about him. Oh my goodness, now you guys might change your sleeping arrangements for the dogs :rolleyes::confused: What spoiled babies!

Janie Great job on the treadmill! It is going to be so much fun for you to go back to the beach house and see your new floor! Well I might show off my scarf. I'm not happy with it though. I made a mistake and I'm trying to decide if it's a big enough mistake to tear it out. The problem is that I didn't notice it until I had a lot more done and it is taking a long time to do. ERRrrrrr.

Eunice Yay, enjoy having your house to yourself!! Now why are February and March so crazy in Mexico? I love that saying! I didn't have a headache after drinking the margaritas, surprisingly enough. I do have a headache this morning after the wine dinner last night though :rolleyes: How was your red wine dinner? I'm glad you discovered that good Australian wine! :D Great job on disc 2 and practicing LIC. It sounds like you are all ready for it now.

Cheryl Do you have a Costco nearby? I have never been there but I hear it's a great store. We do have one in Raleigh, but it's about a 30 minute drive from my house so I have never made the trek. I don't know what the deal is with those Letterman times, but they do need to update their website. Great job on TBTUB and on getting up for 3 mornings!! Oh those planks with the tricep kickbacks are killer. The last time I did that one I couldn't do them all on one side :confused: Did you make it again this morning?!

I realized that I forgot to post my workout yesterday since I was whining about the Letterman tickets. Yesterday was 4DS kickbox. I think that may be my favorite kickbox workout. Last night's dinner was soooo good. Usually at those things I only eat about half of each fo the courses, but I ate every bite of every course this time. :rolleyes: There were 4 courses plus and amuse bouche but they were all nice small courses so it wasn't a big filling dinner. And of course the wines were really good too. It was a good thing that we took Ashley to be our DD. We didn't get home until almost midnight so there was no way I was getting up to workout this morning. I decided that I would make today my day off instead of Sunday. I had to start my day with a little ibuprofen,it's going to be a long day...... Happy Friday everybody!

DH got up earlier than me to go to work. So when it was time for me to get up, it was really hard to leave the dogs alone in the nice warm bed. But I did it and got in a great spin workout to Turn and Burn spinning.com DVD.

Janie Great job on the treadmill! How exciting to see more progress coming along on the beach house. I can’t wait to see some more pictures. Did you guys ever get rid of the problems with the smell at the beach house? Last I remember you said you had done some kind of treatment and that painting may help it too.

Eunice Great job on disc 2! That’s great that you got to practice the last combo of LICh. I’m sure you did better today, if not, keep trying since it seems like you are getting there. I have weak triceps too. :( I really feel like my shoulders and triceps need to be worked twice a week because they are so weak. It might take a little bit to get back into the groove of doing your own thing since you have been used to others being home for a while. It will get easier and stop feeling like work.

Cheryl Great job on TBTUB! Those planks with the tricep kickbacks get me every time. I think that is the exercise that Cathe makes a comment about taking Jai out and I always think, "yeah, me too!" Yea!! :eek: That’s great that you made it 3 days in a row. One more day and then it is the weekend. I think LIC has several premixes that are 30-40 minutes although subbing something else is always fun too. I understand about just wanting to get the furnace done an over with. It will certainly help your peace of mind to get it out of the way.

Pam Great job on 4DS Kickbox the other day! No problem on whining about the tickets, you had every right. Sounds like you had quite the enjoyable dinner. I would have taken off too for not getting to bed until midnight. I’m thinking I will be able to tune Tony out at least initially. I can tune music out so I’m sure I can tune out him as well. Hmm? Are you saying it is not normal to rearrange your sleeping arrangements for your pets? :eek::p This morning after DH left, I pushed Ozzie over to DH’s side. He was back pressed up against me within an hour so I got up and moved over to DH’s side. When I woke up an hour later, Oz was right back pressed up against me.

Have a great day!
 
Did disc 11, back and triceps. Whew!

Eunice, Great job on disc 2, back and triceips and practicing the last section of LIC. Hope you feel better soon. Our beach house is just now starting to look better. Yea!

Cheryl, Great job on TBTUB. Planks are always a challenge for me, but what isn't these days LOL

Pam, Great job on yesterday's 4DS kickbox. So glad to here that dinner was really good. It sounds heavenly. Enjoy your rest day. I can't wait to see that floor. Joey called today and told me he will be starting it. Yea! I take my crochet stuff out if I make a mistake or don't like it. As I did with the rug. It's just part of sewing. It happens. All that matters is relaxing while doing it and taking your time. Enjoy! I know though, that it gets frustrating doing all that work and then having to take it apart.

Julie, Great job on the spin workout. Won't take photos for awhile yet. I'm crocheting a bedspread for Joey and my bedrooms and most likely curtains in my room. It's going to be very unique. I will when I get it done, take pictures for all to see.

Take care,

Janie
 
Pam We have a Costco about a 15 minute drive from us. We don't go there a lot but I like to go about 3 or 4 times a year to stock up on things. I am sure that if they had the correct times on their website you would have made sure that you were in NY in time for the taping. You should put in a complaint. I did make it up again this morning too. Wow four days in a row :eek:. Good job on 4DS Kickbox. Sounds like you had a nice dinner though it is tough to start your day with ibuprofen, how did it go?

Julie It isn't fair is it that our fur babies get to sleep in the bed while we get up to workout and go to work :confused:. Good job on your spinning DVD. I decided not to do LIC this morning but I have done one of the premixes on LIC.

Janie Good job on disc 11. It seems things get more challenging the older you get :confused:. Your mind still thinks you can do it but your body says something else LOL.

Well I have got up early 4 days in a row :eek::eek:. A couple of weeks ago a bought a sleep mask. It is a mask that goes over your eyes while you sleep and that may be the reason that I have more energy in the mornings. It is keeping any light out of my eyes and I seem to sleep better. My DH says that it looks a bit freaky but hey if it works I will keep on using it. So today I decided to do MMA Kickbox. I wanted something that was a bit more high impact and I wanted more ab work. Next week is my recovery week but I will get up early to do the yoga.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Can't help it, but I did the Treadmill again. I guess because I'm not ready for lengthy steps yet and want to get stronger so I can use an 8" step instead of just the top. However, I could be doing the Wedding Video next. I think I just talked myself into that one. LOL:D I'll do it on Mon.

Cheryl, Congratulations on getting up 4 days in a row. Yea! You are doing so good. A simple thing as a sleep mask. How wonderful! I'm so glad it's working out for you. Great job on MMA Kickbox.

Take care and get more restful sleep.
