Julie Great job on CCC! I do think that is Cathe's toughtest workout, mainly because of that 4th round. I think it needs a scrambled version where you do that round 2nd to get it over with. I agree with you that Low Max would be better without all of the break down. It gets kind've monotonous. Oh yea, Kohl's sucks you in with that Kohl's cash, don't they?! I never feel quite so guilty shopping there though because I always come out feeling like I got a bargain.

Eunice I'll be counting down your 5 months with you, that is not long at all! Oh boy, that is kind've a bummer that you will return from winter to winter here though. When will you know where you will be living when you come back, or will you be returning to California? Poor Rachel at camp in the freezing weather, I hope she doesn't come home a Popsicle too! Good for you not feeling self conscious with all of those grunting men in the gym. I always thought it was pretty funny all of the noises that they make when they are working out. Of course I make some of those noises now too, but only when I am at home working out alone I don't think I would do that in a gym. It's good that DH is just teasing you about the baby, that is pretty fun.
Oh 4 months is not very long to be dating, especially when they are so young. I'm with Julie, I am a fan of living together first. I don't feel like you really know someone until you live with them. Of course, it's not my daughter, so who knows what I would think then
Uh oh, the apple cobbler and ice cream sounds really good. I made some vanilla ice cream last weekend. It is so good and creamy. I tried not to eat too much of it. I was bad with my eating over the weekend so have been trying to be good this week....
Hi Janie, Marta and Cheryl!

This morning for me was High Reps. I didn't like that one very much at first but it is growing on me. One of the things that I didn't like was that Cathe doesn't say how much weight she is using. Then this morning I noticed that they put it up on the screen before each set of exercises DUH! It got me good. I was mad though because I had to quit early on the bicep curls with the band, only to discover that there were only 2 more reps left. If I had known that I would've stuck them out. Oh well....I could've added 2 more at the end, but I didn't! Have a great day everyone!!

This morning was Athletic Step. I was kind of dragging today. I think it is the weather. It has been cold and rainy but now it is supposed to turn around and be in the 80s and rainy. The rainy weather really brings me down.

Eunice I hope you enjoyed your rest day or did something fun and sweaty. Either way you can’t lose. Apple cobbler sounds delicious. At least you are getting a good fruit in there. Lots of fiber in those apples plus plenty of nutrients. I hope Rachel doesn’t freeze or worse come home with a cold from her school camp. Only 5 more months in Aussie-land! That is so exciting. I am sure you are counting down the days.

Pam Great job on High Reps! I didn’t like that one at first either because it didn’t have much time for set up and break down. Now I just spend a few minutes before the workout to get everything laid out in order that I need it. I do have to say the curtsy lunges with the discs are my favorite. I like the idea of doing a scrambled version of the CCC with round 4 second to be done with it. If I was up to it, I would download it and use the workout blender to make one but that seems like too much work!

Janie, Cheryl, Marta Hope you guys can pop in and catch up when you get a chance!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

I'm HOME! No more painting for this girl. I'm throwing away my painting clothes for good. I'm DONE! Yea, finished painting every single room. Here are some photos but please, know that we are only about half done. We still need to put floors in now and curtains and paintings...

The bathroom floor and notice the walls, their painted.

My bedroom it's painted and you can see the wonderful lighting Joey picked out for me, and Rolly's bed on my bed.

The hallway, it's painted...looks small but when you are there it's bigger. I love the color of this Pergo.

Joey's bedroom and it's painted. He makes his bed that way. It's wall to wall bed. LOL

Living room/gaming room, had to put a lot of things in the middle of the floor to paint the walls. But, THE WALLS ARE DONE!!!!!.

Julie, Great job on AS. Weather sometimes has a lot to do with mood, so does the moon. It was cold and rainy at the beach as well. But got a lot of walks in-between.

Pam, Great job on the HR. Aw sorry you had to quit when the workout was almost over. Dang!

Eunice, I bet you will miss Rachel when she is at school camp. Hopefully she will be nice, cuddly and warm. Oh you are bad! Eating all that stuff and not asking me if I wanted any. Bad Girl! Enjoy when it's only every now and then.

Take care ladies,

Janie

Pam I know we are going from cold to cold it was the same when we got here double winter in a couple of months DH gets to choose the date if he is allowed to get those dates then is when we are going to start planning everything, packing, selling the cars, sending Sam at grandma's house, oh boy!! we go back to california to 29 palms OMG today we got up to ice grass and another mom was telling me that where the cam was its even colder than here, now I'm worry! hahaha!!!! so you do make the same noises I think guys should sacked up, for girls is sexy The other night that he was teasing me about the baby, Rachel asked how do we make baby??? so funny she was "I won't tell anyone" nether do I!
You know I think its funny that we think WAY DIFF when its OUR family or in this case my daughter I just wish her the best, not the same errors I did, I can tell her so much but she'll do what ever she wants (Now I feel so bad for my mom) mmmmm ice cream was good, I bet home made ice cream is even better. Me too, lets beehive!!!! Good job doing High Reps, I don't remember seen the weights he uses up on the scree that is a good one! it got you good! You should add a whole set just because you missed 2 reps just saying!!!!

JulieGood job doing Athletic step, so bad that the weather is not helping, I know that feeling... I love this one though! You are right apple cobbler has everything I need Poor Rachel today was coldddd, we got icy grass and she went about 4 hours away from here and it suppose to be colder than here. 5 more month, I'm going to miss Australia and all the new friends I have (yesterday I meant to come back and fix my post but I couldn't, I wanted to say that I respect your opinion about living together I just happen to think diff and of course my DD does too...)

Janie I love that there is no more painting for you!!! yay!!! I love your house its getting shiny!!! big windows for all the sun light to come through and to see the beauty of outside! Good job Janie.

Yesterday I ended up doing Intensity, I love it! so fun choreography and the music just takes me, I put the volume so loud I hope the neighbors don't get to hear me.
Today for real, I'll take the day off, I'm doing to Eppin with DH, picking up Stacy here pretty soon, then we taking off.

I just ordered 2 coats from Victorias Secret, they are on sale... Rachel uses one of my coats, because of her being so tall and those long arms they almost fit her, so I got her one on small, 2 coats for $120.00 with free shipping, not to bad...
Have a great day everyone!

 

[janiejoey]

Tonight was GS legs. Whew! You know, I think I might be getting sea sickness from the stability ball. I got nauseous again. It's only with the stability ball segment that I feel this sensation. Hmmmmm. I guess I can have eight shrimps after all. WooHoo!

Here are some more photos at the beach and one in our yard at the Beach House.

The tag reads Ruby Sea. Looked on the internet and found that this is a cargo ship in Blyth, United Kingdom. It's now underway and the destination is Fowey and will arrive there on May 2nd (today). Cool uh? Fowey is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in South Cornwall, United Kingdom. You never know what you will find on the beach.

I love our ocean!

Artistic shot, couldn't help myself.

I found these teeny tiny flowers (daisy like) that close up during the night and opens during the day. They are so beautiful and in our driveway.

Eunice, So nice to have new coats and sharing them with your daughter. Enjoy them. Great job doing Intensity yesterday. I love that one to, but man it's tough. Enjoy your day off.

Once again, take care and enjoy your evening.

Janie

 

[pgeiger]

Julie Great job on AS, but sorry to hear you were dragging. I hope your weather is improving. We are going to be in the 90's for the next few days, i'm so happy! Those curtsy lunges with the discs are fun. I think Cathe says something about them being the crews favorite too. you inspired me to finally play with the workout blender last night and I made a scrambled verison of CCC. Not sure when I'm going to try it yet, maybe this weekend. I mixed it ALL up...something like the first set of round 1,4,2,5,3 and then the second set of each in that same order. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

Janie Welcome back. WOW, the place is looking so wonderful I love that pergo in your hallway too! Such a pretty color. I bet you are so happy to be done with the painting. congratulations! The beach pictures are so pretty. I just love the beach, it is such a relaxing place to be! And how cool that you found that piece from that ship.

Eunice Well at least you are going back to California, so hopefully it won't be too cold there when you return. I hope it doesn't take as long for all of your stuff to get back here as it took to get over there. I seem to recall that taking a really long time! Oh ice on the grass ick! I hope the kids are staying nice and warm at camp! well, I'm not sure I make the same noises that the guys make when they are lifting, they seem to do a lot of grunting and guttural type sounds. I do my share of whining though! maybe some grunting too..... oh boy, those questions from the kids about making babies can be very tricky!
Yep, that's how it is with kids. You think you can impart your knowledge on them but they don't want to listen. I know I never listened to my parents! I mean, what could they possibly know, right OK, I am behaving for a few days at least. Saturday is Cinco de Mayo though, so I think we need to go out for some really good Mexican food and of course margaritas! HAhahah I should've done and extra set for missing those 2 reps. I'm pretty sure that is what both you and Julie would do!!!

Great job on Intensity. It is soooo much fun but so tough! I do love it! That was what you did instead of a day off? Quite a difference there! I didn't know victorias Secret even sold coats. That is a great price though!

Janie Great job on GS legs. Hmmm...that is an interesting discovery about the stability ball. I can see that though.....

This morning for me was Slide and Glide. I was feeling pretty weak this morning so that was a good mild one for me to do. The abs at the end really got me though. I could not finish the second set of the split leg presses. have a great day everyone!

This morning the radio station we have our alarm set to must have went out because we woke up 23 minutes late to the sound of static. I was able to get Travel Fit in. I have never done that one before and since I am going to be traveling in June for work, I thought I should try it out and see how it would work. It is not too bad. Got my heart rate up a tad and I definitely feel like my triceps and shoulders worked.

Janie The pictures look beautiful! That pergo flooring in the hallway is really neat. I’ve never seen a color like that before but I think it is perfect for your Beach House. You certainly have a beautiful location for your beach house. It will be a nice way to relax after working your muscles so hard. Great job on GS Legs! Is the nausea just when you lying down and have your legs up on the stability ball to do the roll-ins? If so, maybe it is the fact that your esophagus is upside down now (if that makes sense). Kind of like they tell heartburn sufferers to sleep on an incline to help keep the stomach acids down, maybe lying down and lifting your hips up is causing some stomach acid to move up your esophagus.

Eunice Great job on Intensity! There are some workouts like that were I really want to pump up the volume because it helps me get into the workout but then there are also so many times I don’t even realize the workout had music in it. Weird I know. I’ve heard a lot of people saying they didn’t like the music on the Low Impact Series especially the Total Body Trisets. To be honest, I’m too busy trying to survive that one, I couldn’t tell you there was music at all. That is an awesome deal on those coats. VS has some nice things but I hardly ever buy from them. I’m an odd shape and I need to try things on. Coats could be different though. I bet your girls are going to miss their friends in Australia and Sam will miss the kangaroos for sure!! No worries on the different opinions. That’s what makes the world interesting. Plus, as you and Pam have noted, I could feel different if it was my own daughter.

Pam Great job on S&G! Sorry you were feeling weak this morning. Travel Fit has those awful split leg presses for abs too. Only this time Cathe has you do 8 singles on each leg before going into the 1/2/3/4 pulse sets. I have to confess since you and Eunice are talking about noises when working out that I am probably guilty of making noises when weight lifting similar to some guys. I mean, I think we all maybe whimper or whine under our breathe when Cathe eagerly announces another round of pushups or half turn jumps but I noticed when I was doing Meso 2 & 3 that if I was having trouble towards the end of a set, I would make a loud, screeching “eerrr” sound. As if that would help push the weight up. I guess since I work out at home though, it is ok. Your CCC mix up sounds pretty cool. I can’t wait to see how you like. If you think it helps, I may have to do it myself some day.

Have a great day!

 

[janiejoey]

Did 30/30 this morning and decided to take another photo lifting a 50# dumbbell for inner thighs. As you can see I have a long ways to go yet. I'm getting there though very slowly. The muscles in my arms are showing through.

Pam, Great job on S&G. I still can't do those abs without modifications. You did good!

Julie, Great job on TF. It's a good one. Where will you be traveling to in June? Hope some place exotic. It seems no matter how I use the ball, I do get nauseous. I tried it today after my exercises, and just rolled and stretched my stomach and sure enough, I started feeling sick to my stomach. It could be an age thing that caught up with me. I know my balance is not the same since I hit my 60's. I've noticed too, that when I use the step ups and we do the over cross over too many times I start to get nauseous. Bummer. It is a good analogy about the lying down and lifting my hips up though. Bet it doesn't help with my GERD too. It could be part of the problem. I wouldn't doubt it. It makes since to me. This GERD thing is such a nuisance.

Take care everyone,

Janie

 

[worseenemy]

Janie Good job doing GS Legs, wow! for how long are staying up on that ball that you are getting sea sickness? Well enjoy the 8 shrimp and maybe more if you can. I love the new pictures, there is so cool about the tag that you find at the beach, did you keep it? Wow!!! you are doing good job with those big dumbbells I don't have a 50 pound one so I guess that is on my shopping list. Also good job doing 30/30 you are rocking Janie, you are looking good!!!

Pam Wow!! you are getting created with that mix sounds good, you have to lets us know what you think of? do you think that was the easy to do it from the beginning? if it is you have to mention to Cathe We are going back to the desert in 29 Palms so in the desert can get pretty cold or pretty hot. DH said that because US don't have the quarantine thingy like AU it won't take as longer as it did. Rachel got back today and she said that it wasn't that cold but you know kids don't really feel cold when they are having fun. That's right, we never want to hear our parents but how about now? huh? its pay back time the worse! OMG! Real, good, mexican food! enjoy it. I can't wait to eat tamales! mmmmm yummy! Oh, yes VS online has shoes, coats, dresses, sweaters, and all sort of things and sometimes you get good deals online because of the clearance sale. Good job doing Slide & Glide a good one for those kind of days!

JulieBoomer for the alarm, 23 min can make a big diff when you have everything on schedule, good job doing Travel Fit though, I did that one a lot when we got here is a good one and I did also felt it on my shoulders triceps as well. Really? I haven't hear anything about the music on the LIS people, people, they are never happy, I'm the same way as you are some times I'm just trying to survive the workout that I don't even notice the music. I do love VS and I buy a lot from them, their jeans are really good, I still have the same jeans I bought 4-5 years ago they still fit good and the material still good, but I think I'm going to need to get new ones because I'm starting to feel weird with the same old jeans. I know the girls are going to miss their friend and my boy its going to miss the freedom he has for his runs and the kangaroos for sure.



Noise girls you and Pam, hahahaha!!!! I don't think I make noises but I make funny faces, funny, funny, once I recorded my self to see how high I was jumping or how low I was doing the squats OMG! I was laughing so hard of my self because of the faces I was making... so funny!!! Kind of embarrassing though
Yesterday I did got the day off we went to Eppin DH needed to do some things and I wanted to go do some shopping I didn't do much just bought a big yummy wool blanket, so comfy and warm just perfect for this winter...
Today I started doing some cleaning and more cleaning that when I decided that it was time to go workout it was time for me to go pick up Rachel and Stacy from school they usually would do it by them selfs but today I needed to go help with the luggage then I went to the grocery store and you all know the story so all this just to say that I didn't workout today either
Hopefully tomorrow is another story though! Have a great day every one!!!

 

[pgeiger]

Julie oh sorry about your alarm, I just hate when that happens. You were so good getting a workout in anyway. I haven't done travel fit yet. I think I have kind've avoided it because I don't like the bands! Mainly because they are so hard! Glad you got a good workout in! Oh man I just hate the split leg presses. In S&G, she does 32 singles per leg, and then ANOTHER set of "only" 16 each side. I did about 4-5 on the second set and then had to bend my knees for the rest of them. I think I make the most noise when I'm trying to do push ups and trying to get just a few more on my toes. Then I do some serious grunting. I do think it helps a little..... I'm kind've excited about my CCC mix I will definitely let you all know how it goes when I try it. It was pretty easy to use the workout blender too.

Janie Great job on 30/30, that is my favorite Hiit. I love your photo too! I don't have a 50 pound dumb bell either, I guess Eunice and I will both have to put that on our lists! My heaviest is 35 pounds. You are doing so fantastic with your weights, I'm so proud of you and really really impressed!

Eunice I will definitely let you all know how my new CCC mix goes. I'm thinking I'll probably do it sometime this weekend, depending on how many margaritas I have for Cinco de Mayo Oh it's nice that they don't have the quarantine for coming back. Does that mean that Sam doesn't have to stay in quarantine at all? That would be good if he didn't. Well I'm glad to hear that Rachel had fun at camp. I went to camp when I was young and it was sooo much fun. Oh yes, the kids are getting us back now for never listening to our parents when we were their age I will have to check out the VS jeans, I love jeans. I have been getting White House Black market jeans lately and really like them. You have to find them on sale though because they are expensive. I love how they fit AND they are long enough for me which is always a problem.
Oh i am quite sure I make funny faces when I am doing my workouts too. I don't think I would want to see myself. You are brave video taping yourself and watching it

This morning for me was step Blast, always a fun one. I didn't sleep great because DH just got back from Vegas and he couldn't sleep because of the 3 hour time difference so he ended up keeping me awake. Oh well, at least it's Friday! Have a great day everyone!

Pam

 

[jldx2in2000]

This morning was so hard to get out of bed. There were thunderstorms this morning and it was so warm and snuggly in the bed. I did force myself to get out of bed and do Step Moves. Not my favorite step video but I did it. I am now done with the Shock Cardio series and moving on to the post-STS 4-pack and then the Low Impact Series and then I am done with my Cathe through the years rotation. I’m kind of excited to be 2 weeks away from being done. I am so ready to move on to a strength building rotation.

Janie Great job on 30/30! I’m loving that tricep dent in your picture. That is certainly some awesome poundage you are lifting there. I do hope you can figure out something with the stability ball exercises. They are so good for you and your balance.

Eunice It looks like you got a lot done the last two days. That blanket sounds nice to cuddle up with in the winter time with maybe a big pot of tea! And sounds like you got a lot done with Clean Max. So it sounds like Rachel not only had a good time but didn’t seem to be bothered by the cold. I think you should treat yourself to some new jeans. I have seen the VS styles and they are really nice.

Pam Great job on Step Blast! That one is such a fun one! So sorry about the sleeping. Well I am glad I am not the only that has to modify those split leg presses. I usually have to bend my knee a little of the leg straight up and down and sometimes I am really bad and have to put the lower leg on the floor when we are not in the pulsing motion. I’m with you and Eunice, no 50 pound dumbbells. My heaviest are 40s and I can’t say I use both of them at the same time ever.

Have a wonderful Friday!

 

[janiejoey]

Will be in the hot tub shortly and later today will do my exercises and then hot tub again. Will post later tonight.

Thank you so much for all your support. It truly makes a deference when people you care about share in your commitment. It means a lot to me. I'm grateful I can be the one to inspire for a change.

Eunice, It doesn't take very long at all to get sick on the ball. This really just started happening. Darn! Oh well I will deal with it. I didn't keep the tag. I'm afraid if I kept everything on the beach that I like, our yard would look like a junky place. I'll leave it to the ocean to take it back to sea. Investing in heavy weight is a really good idea. I'm even thinking about getting 55 and 60 pound dumb bells. I think that would do it for me after that. If I need heavier weight then I will use our home gym (Marcy machine) that has a self spotter. Never thought about making faces while working out. HA! LOL That's sooo funny. Oh, nice big wool blankets are soooooooo wonderful to have. Enjoy your rest day today. I love your humor, it's a breath of fresh air.

Pam, Do invest in heavier weight. It's a true investment. Great job on SB. Sorry about your sleepless night.

Julie, Great job getting out of that wonderful dreamy state in bed. Also great job on SM. Congratulations for completing the Shock Cardio series. You are doing so well with that unusual and great idea rotation of yours. Enjoy the STS 4 pack that's coming up. The Low Impact series is coming up for me in one more week for two weeks. I'll let you know how it goes, unless we do it together. The timing is so close. After you are done with this rotation, what strength building rotation will you be doing, any thoughts? You noticed my tricep dent. That's what I wanted to be noticed. Yea! You are right about balance. If I have to I'll take a 1/2 or even a 1/4th sea sickness pill to do these exercises. Only one left for legs to do and I'll do that and see what a difference that might make, balance is so important to have.

Well ladies, I'm off to the hot tub and then exercise.

Have a great day,

Janie

 

[Thumper]

Well I am still alive, just have been really busy. I read through everyone's posts but I have been away for a while and it is too hard to reply to everything. My PT course is going well and that is why I haven't had time to post with all the reading and developing programs for my trainer. Hopefully I can get more organized but the evenings go by waaaay to fast. I have been working out but I haven't had time to post everything on workout manager. I took a vacation day from work today so I was able to get all the housework done so I still have a weekend to enjoy if the weather improves . Hopefully I can get back into the routine of posting regularly.

Janie Awesome picture of you lifting 50 pound dumbbells, you go girl!!!!

Eunice Wow Astrid is getting married and you are coming back soon. So much is happening for you.

Julie You are having the same crappy weather that we are. Sorry that you haven't been sleeping well, it makes it hard to get up and workout.

Pam Those darn husbands tossing and turning so you can't get a good nights sleep Well at least it is Friday.

Happy Friday everyone.

Cheryl

 

[janiejoey]

Did Gym Style chest and triceps. I started quivering during the exercise and still quivering right now That was a heck of a workout!

Chery, I missed you! So glad you are back. While studying it does take a lot of time and effort on your part to get through this with flying colors. You are doing what you are suppose to do. I'm very proud of you. You are in luck, we are going to have wonderful beautiful weather. Enjoy your weekend.

Take care there PT to be,

Janie

 

[Thumper]

Janie Good job on Gym Style chest and triceps. I am quivering every time I do that workout. I missed you guys too. It felt strange not checking in but the time in the evenings just flew by. I hope we are going to have beautiful weather. In the last several days we have had rain, hail and thunder. Today it was raining so hard we had a river running down the road in front of our place.

Today for me it was Gym Style Legs. Wow my butt cheeks are feeling it right now. It has been a while since I had done a tough leg workout like that.

Cheryl

 

[janiejoey]

Tonight was Double Wave Pyramid HiiT. Whew! Talk about a red beet face at the end. Loved it!

Cheryl, Your weather is not at all like here. I thought they were pretty much the same until now. I was so hoping for good weather your way. Great job on GSL. That one is a toughie for me as well.

Take care everyone and have a nice rest of the weekend.

Janie

 

[pgeiger]

Julie Great job getting yourself out of that warm bed and doing Step Moves. It's so hard to believe you only have 2 more weeks left of your through the years rotation. It seemed to go by fast! Are you going to do another round of STS? My heaviest dumbbell is a 35 and I only have 1 of them. I bought it for the plie squats where you put it down and pick it up.

Janie Oh the hot tub sounds so nice. what a great way to sooth sore muscles. You are a huge inspiration in many ways! Keep up the great work! Now you've got me thinking about heavier dumbbells i do have plenty of weight for my barbell though, so I'm usually all set. I would really like a weighted vest though.

Cheryl Great to hear from you! I was figureing you must be pretty busy since we hadn't heard anything in awhile. i hope that your training is still going well.

Janie Great job on GS Chest and triceps. you know you are working hard when you are quivering, especially after you're done!

cheryl Great job on GS legs! How is the toilet test today?!

Janie Great job On Hiit DWP! That is a sneaky one, it is always a lot harder than I'm expecting it to be. Especially that second round! I can relate to that beet red face, I had one of those this morning too!

Friday night we went skiing again and then yesterday was my day off. We went and bought (or i should say ordered) pendant lights to hang over the bar in the basement. Then we went and skiied again. The water has warmed up so much from these 90 degree days that we didn't even need our wet suit tops yesterday. We were glad we decided to go early because we got some really big storms last night. We went out for Cinco de Mayo and had some great margaritas and tacos. This morning I got up and did my CCC workout blender mix. I am going to make some modifications to it. The way i mixed it I ended up having one round of cardio from each of the 5 rounds before ever doing any of the core work. so then the 2nd half was a round of cardio followed by a round of core. It was good having round 4 earlier AND split up, but those core breaks are important too. I also somehow got the cardio section where you jump forward twice and then do a burpee into a pushup in there an extra time and that is a tough one. I was quite worn out when i was done and had that beet red face going for awhile. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Pam

 

[Thumper]

Janie Double Wave Pyramid is a great workout. Good job on it. I think our weather is the same for the most part but sometimes either you are getting hit really hard with crappy weather or we are. Today was nice a little cool but I could get outside and get some work done.

Pam Things have been quite busy and the training is going well. I need to take my instructor through a 5 minute dynamic warm-up and then a total body weight routine that is about 30 minutes long on Tuesday. The 30 minutes is for someone who would be coming in on their lunch break and needed an effective workout in a limited amount of time. I will let you know how I did. My legs were a bit sore today but I did pass the toilet test . Wow you are getting really hot weather, I think you would be freezing if you were here. I am hoping that the next week will be warmer though. Nice that you can go waterskiing again. Way to go on your CCC blender mix. Ummmm sounds like you made it a bit harder than the actual workout!!! Good job on it.

Well it was a yoga day today for me. I was a bit stiff after my leg workout yesterday and housework on Friday so it felt good to stretch it out. After that I got some more cleaning done outside and bought a few plants to make things look nicer outside.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl

 

[janiejoey]

Feeling like jello! Tonight was GS back, shoulders and biceps. Whew!

Pam, Oh yes, the hot tub does wonders for my worked out body. Do get a weighted vest. I find that I use my 10# one often. I can see you in my minds eye skiing away and having so much fun. Good for you both. I would love to see a photo of those lights over the bar. 90 degree weather, you are so lucky. We may have hit on or near 70 today. Sounds like you had a great time for Cinco de Mayo, well deserved. Great job on this mornings CCC workout blender mix. Love your modifications on the workout. Very creative. Love the beet red face!

Cheryl, Our weather today was like yours. A little cool, but nice to work in it. Great job on yoga, it really is nice to stretch things out. Good for you. What kinds of plants did you buy?

Take car everyone,

Good job doing step blast an easy one for when you don't have energy that's for sure... Good job doing CCC I don't know why but I have the feeling that you made it harder, hahaha!!!! I don't know just messing with you, good job going ski also, how are your shoulders and biceps from doing the ski.

Janie Hot tub sound great. You are right if you start keeping everything you find soon you are going to have a museum Wow! 55-60 pound dumbbell its a good idea how tall are you? that is awesome that you have your home gym that helps a lot I wish I could have one.You should record your self once just for curiosity to see what you do while working out. Love the wool blanket so nice for this weather.

Julie Good job for getting out of bed even when you didn't feel like it so sad that you have to leave that warm bed at least it was step move not to hard. Good job Julie you are moving along with that rotation, how did you like it after all? are you planning on doing it once every once in a long while? 1-2 years? I bet you are going to enjoy doing strength building rotation. I would love to get me a new pair of jeans but I'm going to wait till I get my tummy tuck my heaviest dumbbell is 40 I need more....

CherylWow!

CherylWow, rain, hail, thunder, sounds like a crazy weather. Good job doing gym style legs I'm sure tomorrow you are going to be a little crab walking funny!! Good for doing yoga.

Sorry ladies I was gone for the weekend I don't know but my days are going by really fast, anyways Saturday I decided to do a workout where I didn't have to sweat because I wanted to dye my hair, so I did Yoga Max for the first time ever I don't know what to say about it, it was good, easy, hard, easy because I have done yoga from P90X and that one its pretty hard, at the same time it was easy that I wanted more so I did a little bit from yoga stretch I think? some of the moves were hard but I did it .... well let me tell you that the next day I was sore my back and my core was sore, unbelievable so maybe I have to do it more often.
Today I did start my STS rotation I did disc 1 chest/shoulders/biceps I'm so proud of my self I almost, almost did all of the push up on my toes except for boot cam pushups and from the first set of 30 I did half and half so my upper body was num I don't know if thats what I was supposed to feel but I was feeling big knots big time... Also I did ab ripper from P90X really hard I'm going to do abs every other day and I'm going to use this one, I have a lot room to grow..
Well ladies have a great day every one it almost bed time for me
