Janie I'm gad to hear that your GERD was in check and that you were feeling so good! Good for you, what did you end of doing? Don't you just love those days when you feel like you can conquer the world? 
Eunice You know what, my biceps are fine....I have no DOMS at all The only thing that hurts a little is my right quad, but not the left one.... what is up with that? Oh you do need to get to Sydney at least for a day, it is so beautiful. Ha, thanks for the whistles, I was thinking I needed a new picture because I had the old skiing one for awhile and it wasn't even a very good ski picture. I'm not sure about this one either, but I'm so slow to change those things that I imagine it'll be there for awhile
Did you end up getting your cardio in? Congrats on the biceps DOmS, too bad I am not sharing that pain with you. Oh that is too funny that abs were hard because it was hard to sit on your butt I do like the weighted gloves too, I haven't used mine in awhile. I kind've forget about them, I wish they were easier/quicker to get on and off too though.
I just love your pictures from the dinner, you are such an attractive couple. my favorite is the one where you are sitting down and Kenny is standing talking to you, he is so focused on you and you look so relaxed and happy! Oh yes, lovely pictures of your adorable Sam too
This morning my rotation called for the step only premix from SJP! Yuck, it's only 26 minutes long AND that is the part of that workout that I don't like. So I made my own mix with the step part of All Step, the Step and Intervals from Step and Intervals, the kickbox and hi/lo sections from 10/0/10, and then the abs from SJP! It was a good mix and kicked my butt pretty good! all of that clocked in around 70 minutes so not too bad. Happy Friday everyone! It's been a long slow week for me so I'm glad it is over!

This morning was Slide & Glide. I have to say Cathe was really mean putting in three sets of mountain climbers. When we went down for that last set, I was like “really? That’s just mean, Cathe”! I really dislike—ok, HATE—those L-crunches. I had to cheat on the second set and rest my bottom foot on the floor. Guess that means I need to do them more often … ugh!
Pam I’m glad you just forgot to post instead of my forgetting that you were leaving on another mini-vacation or something bad happened. Great job on HST yesterday! Those 1-arm dips are hard. I can’t remember if I have ever put my foot down but I know my leg loses height as we get closer to the end! That is awesome that you went heavier than Cathe. In the moves I can go heavier than her, I feel like a superwoman that day! I love the new avatar picture you put up. You look really pretty and I can see some very nice shoulder definition! Wow, looks like you had yourself a little CTX party this morning. You are so good doing SJP abs. I would have either not done any abs or been lazy about switching the DVD and just done some abs from the CTX DVD I had in there. I tend to avoid rotations that have me doing more than 1 DVD a workout session.
Janie So glad your GERD was in check and you were feeling energized and good. I’m glad you forced yourself to rest. That rest is so important for muscle growth and mental recuperation too. Although, I know I am preaching to the choir here or as Cathe would say “you’re an educated crowd”.
Eunice Hope you got everything done you wanted to get done yesterday. I have those 4lb gloves and they are a little tricky to get on and off especially during workouts like Meso 1 when the rest time is so little. I think the new cast member is named Marlo. I don’t think Cathe said where she found her. Maybe she auditioned at the same time Nancy and Amanda did but didn’t win over them. I like Amanda too. She has amazing form and makes almost everything look effortless but you can tell she is working right along with us. Those are really great pictures. You look fantastic! Your DH is so lucky to have a hot mamacita for a wife. Sam is very handsome.
Have a great day!

I've noticed on FB that some of you have Cathe discs showing. How do you do that?
Did AB today. OMOM! I kept up with Cathe on the weight but had to go higher with my body. For push ups I used my couch and placed my hands on it instead of the floor. Still got a really good workout. Love the sliding discs.

Pam I think your biceps know that it is weekend and that means that is ski time so they need to stay all good for you Yes, we have 4 months to do some thing and hopefully going to Sydney is one of those. You did good changing your profile picture if that was me I would spend a lot of time finding the one, but that's me besides like Julie say your arms/shoulders rock in this picture so maybe that change your mind and you decide to this picture needs to stay. No, I didn't get to do Cardio I didn't have time or energy to do anything I was tired, I also baked a cake for the girls because we organized a girl party for today. Yes those 4Lb weight are very nice add to our weight if only they were easy to put on and off. Thanks for the complement me too, for some reason that picture is my favorite one.
Wow, your workout of this morning sound like a doozy one, how did you do your mix? dod you use the workout blender? very creative!!!! and from 26 min to 70 min its a quite diff but I know you enjoyed that one better, good job!
Julie Good job doing Slide & Glide... so funny you talking to Cathe, if she could hear you I'm pretty sure she would say "I know you love them" were was Ozzy? he could'd help you to do those yes, you have to do them more often, or just do what I do, example last weekend I felt really, really, really bad drinking more than what I should of, so this past week when I was doing a workout that I was about to quiet I would think of how bad I was and what I was feeling right at that moment was nothing compare to the what I felt! I don't know if I'm explaining my self. But, yes pain over pain doesn't hurt! but that's only me I don't think every one feel the same.
I really like those gloves too, your right not good for meso 1 but meso 2 a little bit more handful. Marlo, maybe Cathe would say were did she found her and I agree with Amanda she is good. I have to say DH how lucky he is Thanks.
JanieAfter Burn not an easy one but a fun one, good for you for doing what ever you can. the FB thingy, on the right top of the workout manager has the option to sing up with FB, you need to make sure to sing up before checking done your workout then it'll show on FB. I hope that helps.
Yesterday I didn't workout, we planed a little party for both of my girls, so I did went to the store and bought some thing and I did bake a little cake too.
Today I got up sooooooo late, we got up at 9:00 am we had french toast for breakfast then I did Kick Max it was good. We did had a little party for the girls it was fun for them.
Have a nice weekend my Saturday is over!!!!!!! have a good one.

I'll post later again after LIC. I really like this step workout and the premixes.
Eunice, Love the photos of your handsome hubby. I bet you are so proud of him! And the little dog too. Sammy looks so smart.
Pam, I ended up doing AB. YIKES! Great job on your mix match of All Step, STep and Intervals and Kickbox and Hi/Lo sections from 10-10-10 & abs from SJP. How could it not Kick your butt? Fantastic job! Hope you enjoy your weekend from a slow week.
Julie, Great job on S&G. Yep, mountain climbers and L lunges are challenging to say the least. I think you did a fantastic job on them. Like I say, modifications are a good thing. Like you barely modified. Good for you! Love your knowledge! Keep it coming.
Eunice, The party sounds like a blast. Were you able to rest that day at all? You are such a good Mom to your girls. Good you were able to sleep in for a bit. Great job on Kick Max. Thanks for the instructions for FB. Much appreciated.

Julie Great job on S&G on Friday. I think that is a sneaky one. It seems really easy at first but the intensity builds. Is that the one that has a TON of those L crunches? I can't do them all either. They kill me! Thanks for the compliments on the picture. I took it myself with my iphone. We have a photo directory at work at the picture that I had up there was about 15 years old so I decided it was time for a new one. One of the guys that I work with even commented on my muscles in it! I had such a nice surprise in my mailbox on Saturday, thanks so much for sending me that DVD! You are awesome. I won't get to try it until later this week as I'm in Texas until Thursday, but you can believe it I will be trying it out very very soon! I am not crazy about changing DVDs either, but it actually was ok because it gave me a little rest between sections!
Janie I see you got the FB thing figured out! Great job on AB, that on is killer, my butt always feels it for a couple of days. That was a good idea putting your hads on your couch, I might try that instead of goiung to my knees next time.
Eunice That's funny, I bet my biceps DO know they need to get ready for skiing! This picture will probably stay for awhile just because i never think about changing them and because I don't have a lot of pictures of myself. I guess I could go pull one from FB, but that just seems like too much work How nice that you had a party for your girls, I bet they had a great time! I would use my weighted gloves a lot more if they weren't so tricky to take off and put on! I hate it if I have to pause the workout for anything! I didn't use the workout blender for my mix on Friday morning, just kept changing the dvds. I even ended up going a little longer than I planned since the hi/lo started and I figured I might as well do it too! oh french toast, yum! Great job on KM after that!
Janie great job on liS step! AND TB!!! Isn't that a fun one?! Hope your butt is feeling ok today!
Well, it was a busy weekend and I didn't get to post. DH was in Boston until 10 Friday night so I went to my mom's house and made pizza. Then Saturday I did Drill Max. I hadn't done it in so long and I just love it. After that I had some running around to do. DH got home from golf around 4:00 and told me he had invited his golf buddies and their wives over that evening. Yikes! I was preparing a little picnic to take to the lake. So instead i made my orzo salad, we went and skiied and then we had a little impromptu cookout. It was a lot of fun though. Yesterday we slept in until 8:30! My DH has a conference in Austin this week so I came with him, so most of yesterday was spent on the plane. I was sitting next to a guy who was flying for his first time ever and he was really nervous. It was kind've cute! Luckily it was a really smooth flight. Now I'm working in the Austin office all week while DH is at his conference. This morning I went to the hotel gym. They have a lot of weights so I did some leg work, a little upper body, then 30 minutes on the treadmill with about 15 minutes of intervals, and abs with the ball. Not a super tough workout but better than nothing. Have a great week everyone!

Well I was lazy over the weekend and didn’t do any workouts. I did get a ton of cleaning done and made about 50 lunches to put in my freezer for work. Our washer is still broken so I had to use my neighbors again. They were actually out of town and we were watching their dog for them so it was kind of a nice trade off. This morning I started my new rotation of a month of Gym Styles. I’m actually doing the GS series plus adding in an extra leg day. Today was Gym Style Legs and I really heavied up on the squats and deadlifts. I was running really late, so I had to skip the slow motion lunges, calf raises, and tibialis pulls. Even with skipping those, I was still running about 10 minutes behind schedule. Welcome to Monday, I guess.
Janie Great job on Afterburn and the modifications! I sometimes use my high step topper when I do mountain climbers and spiderman climbers to ease my lower back. Great job on LICh! That one does have a bunch of different premixes. You could probably do a different premix each week for several months and not get bored. Great job on TB! Did you find your butt yet?
Eunice Great job on KickMax! Yum! French toast sounds so yummy! Yep, I definitely need Ozzie in there when I am doing those L crunches. I understand what you are saying about pushing through when it is hard. Sometimes I have the mentality to get through it and sometimes I don’t. Like today, I really wanted to skip out on the bonus reps for the squats and front lunges but I persevered. I wish I had enough time to do those slow motion lunges because those kill me every time. I think Cathe said on a post last week that Marlo goes to her gym.
Pam Great job on Drill Max and a great way to burn off some of those pizza calories too. DH and I have a standing pizza night as Friday night’s. That is really awesome that you get to work from another office so you can be with DH. That sounds like quite a gym the hotel has. Most I have seen include 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, and maybe 1 recumbent bike. Yes, S&G has a million L-crunches. You do 32 each side, take a tiny breather and then do 16 each side. I’m so glad you got the DVD. Hopefully you enjoy it and get more use out of it than I did. Of course, if you do it even just once, you will have used it more than I did! Hmmm, maybe you are onto something with using the DVD changing time as a mini rest between sections.
Have a wonderful day!

Tonight was Low Impact Step Challenge #2 for 36 min. The choreography was so advanced that most of the time I ab libed it. However I did get a great sweat going so I think I did pretty good and had my heart rate up. From now on I'll do #4 it's less difficult but still intense and only a few min. shorter. Oh and I used a 6" step. Yeah! Soon I'll be using 8", at least I hope so.
Pam, When I put my hands on the couch my wrists really got sore and tired, so tonight I used the bench top and it worked much better. I'm worried though, my butt is not sore today. Hmmmmm, why is it that I don't feel DOM's like everyone else. I give it my all each and every workout. Except my back from the stress of Turbo Barre was very sore, had to be careful how I moved today. Great job on Sat. Drill Max. Wow, your honey invites friends over without consulting you. I wouldn't know what to do without a plan. You are an amazing woman. You managed it so well and even went skiing with them. It sounded like a lot of fun. I remember my first airplane ride. Got sicker than a dog and was very nervous. I learned about sea sickness pills after that.LOL It must be nice to be able to work in different locations to be with hubby. I think you did very well at the Hotel gym.

Julie, I think that sometimes people need a whole weekend to do nothing but catch up and what ever they want to do. You did good. Love your idea with Gym Style rotation and adding another leg segment during the week. LOL, yep I found my butt. You are so funny.
Take care everyone,
Janie

PamThat's alright Pam, we like your new picture, I won't be changing mine any time soon since I really would like to stay that way for ever!!!!! How can changing a picture is a lot of work when you do work with computers all of the time! Yes the girls had a good time, I think we need to have another one for a good bye! sounds like a good deal, changing the videos while your taking a little rest its good when you know what's next but not if it is a guess one.
Wow! Pam, you had a busy weekend and now you are gone: Good job doing Drill Max and having that inspected cookout, you are very friendly you must know all of your hubby's friends and wives. Good that you could take off with DH and work from Austin, I guess there is more than work in Austin, have fun and enjoy the gym.. Sounds like a good workout to me!
JulieSounds like a good weekend even when it was a lazy one you sure deserved that rest. But making 50 lunches is not easy that's a lot of cooking girl, sorry your washer still broken but the trade of watching the dogs while doing laundry its a good one. Good job doing Gym Style legs I haven't done that one in a while but I do remember that that one always get me good.
You are so good planing your rotation I like that you have 2 days of leg work, you must want to smash those legs!! This week I found my self NOT punishing me how can that be possible I really need to because that way I can survive the heavy workouts. Did Cathe posted it on FB? I haven't see anything.
JanieGood job doing all those workouts during the weekend, you are doing pretty good not missing a one workout. Good job doing Low Impact Step Challenge #2 if you got your heart rate up and a good sweat that'a all it matter.
Yesterday I did disc 4 chest/shoulders/biceps it was a good one I'm very proud of my self I did most of the pushups on my toes but 4 of them, that's a huge improvement for my self because last time I did a WO of STS I was doing all of my pushups on my knees, so proud of my self, well also the staggered pushups were on my knees oh well... I also upped up my weight for flys, I have a pretty sore upper body Nice I love it.
Today I did legs disc 6 OMG I kicked my own butt, I was sweating like crazy and my poor legs are feeling it all ready they are fried.
This week DH is at the field so I'm alone with the girls and tomorrow is Rachel's district running today she was playing out side with Sam and one of her friends and Stacy when she crashed one of her toes on the concrete OMG! and tomorrow she has to run I wonder if she's going to be able to.. I washed it of and put ointment and a big bandit I hope she feels good tomorrow.
Have a good one every one.

Good job doing Gym Style legs I haven't done that one in a while but I do remember that that one always get me good.
You are so good planing your rotation I like that you have 2 days of leg work, you must want to smash those legs!!
This week I found my self NOT punishing me how can that be possible I really need to because that way I can survive the heavy workouts. Did Cathe posted it on FB? I haven't see anything.JanieGood job doing all those workouts during the weekend, you are doing pretty good not missing a one workout. Good job doing Low Impact Step Challenge #2 if you got your heart rate up and a good sweat that'a all it matter.
Yesterday I did disc 4 chest/shoulders/biceps it was a good one I'm very proud of my self I did most of the pushups on my toes but 4 of them, that's a huge improvement for my self because last time I did a WO of STS I was doing all of my pushups on my knees, so proud of my self, well also the staggered pushups were on my knees
oh well... I also upped up my weight for flys, I have a pretty sore upper body Nice I love it. Today I did legs disc 6 OMG I kicked my own butt, I was sweating like crazy and my poor legs are feeling it all ready they are fried.
This week DH is at the field so I'm alone with the girls and tomorrow is Rachel's district running today she was playing out side with Sam and one of her friends and Stacy when she crashed one of her toes on the concrete OMG! and tomorrow she has to run
I wonder if she's going to be able to.. I washed it of and put ointment and a big bandit I hope she feels good tomorrow.Have a good one every one.

Julie Ummm...making 50 lunches doesn't sound very lazy to me??! Maybe you didn't do a formal workout, but your weekend doesn't sound like it was lazy! i'm glad to hear that you have a washing machine to use while yours is broken, it is tough to be without a washing machine! Good job on gs legs, it sounds like you got a great workout in even though you had to cut it a little short.
Yes, it's nice to be able to work from just about anywhere. I work with a lot of people in Austin too, so it's good to see them in person. I really like Austin too, it's a great place to visit. The hotel gym is pretty big, but is reallly lacking in cardio equipment, just 2 treadmills. I was hoping for a bike or elliptical since I really don't like the treadmill. oh well. Oh yes, S&G is the disc with the torturous number of L-crunches. I remember the first time I did it I was so happy to make it through the 32 on each side and groaned when she started a second set. I have not been able to even come close to making it through that second set yet.
Janie Great job on the LIS step pre-mix. That is a really tricky one. And great job doing it on a 6" step. When you put your hands on the step topper do you put a mat or towel or something on it? That always hurts my hands a LOT when I do that because of that rubber grid. That is strange that you aren't feeling DOMS. Those elusive DOMs are hard to explain. There are some people that hardly ever get them, but I don't think that means you aren't working hard. I was little surprised when DH came home and said he had invited people over, that isn't typical for him, but I figured why not go with it and have fun. I didn't really do much different that I had planned anyway. We told them to bring whatever they wanted as far as meat goes to throw on the grill since I only had 2 steaks, and I just doubled the size of the salad that I was already making. Someone brought an appetizer and someone else brought a big bowl of fresh berries and I opened a bag of chips. They didn't all come skiing with us though, DH and I went to the lake and then they came over when we got back It is nice being able to work from pretty much anywhere, it gives me a lot of freedom!
Eunice hehehehehehe, you thiunk if we don't change our pictures then we will keep looking the same way forever? I like this plan! Yes it was a whirlwind weekend, it almost felt like we didn't have one. the next few weeks are going to be crazy too, this weekend we are going to the beach for a night and going to try to do a lot of skiing, the next weekend we are going to Myrtle Beach, and the weekend after that DH's whole family is coming down for a wedding and then we are all going to the Outer Banks for a week. 30 people in one house! Luckily it's a very big house
Great job on disc 4 and doing all of those push ups on your toes!!!! That is amazing. There are soooo many pushups in the disc! Plus upping your weight for flies and then doing disc 6. WOWOWOWoWOWOW! I hope you can walk now! Are you crab walking?
oh no, so sorry to hear that Rachel smashed her toe right before district!! I hope it is ok for her to run!
Cheryl Happy Happy Birthday! I hope it's a great day!
So last night DH was able to get out of all of the customer dinners and we went and had a really nice dinner at this cute little Italian restaurant. We had the best spaghetti carbonara I have ever tasted, I'm pretty sure I will be dreaming about it for awhile! This morning we were lazy and slept in so I didn't do a workout. We'll see what tomorrow brings! Have a great day everyone!

This morning I did Gym Styles Chest & Triceps. I’m really trying to use this like Meso 2 and lifting as heavy as I can so I take slightly longer breaks than what is given in the workout. Not as long as a minute but probably closer to 30 to 45 seconds whereas Cathe only takes about 20 seconds in the workout. So it is taking me a little longer to complete the workout.
Oh and you won’t believe what happened to me last night. I got into my car after my vanpool dropped me off and my car wouldn’t back up. I had the gear shift in reverse and pressed the gas and the engine just kept revving up. Luckily, I had enough room in the parking lot that I could just put my car in drive and maneuver my way out but then I decided to go to the post office to pick up our mail and when I got back out same thing. DH and our neighbor had to come up and push my car backwards so I could drive it home. We have an appointment at a transmission shop tomorrow to see what is going on. I just hope it is not the entire transmission needing to be rebuilt.
Janie Great job on LICh #2 premix! I don’t know what that one includes but if it has the 4th combo that one is pretty tricky. I wouldn’t worry about the DOMS. I’ve read in so many fitness and bodybuilding forums that you don’t need to experience DOMS in order to have worked your muscles. I sometimes worry that my sick fascination with them will be my ultimate undoing.
Eunice Great job on disc 4! YEA!!!! Congratulations on those pushups! You have really increased your pushup strength and endurance. Those staggered are tough. Great job on disc 6 too! So are you doing the STS rotation or what rotation are you doing right now? Sorry if you said and I missed it. Oh poor Rachel! Running with a stubbed toe can’t feel good. I’ll be hoping she could still do her best. I think Cathe posted on the forums on a thread on Friday. Can’t remember for sure though. Yes, I’m gonna crush these legs until they stop talking back to me!! Actually, I read on t-nation.com and muscleandstrength.com that the best way to build upper body muscle is to work legs twice a week. Something about working legs causes your body to increase production of muscle building hormones. We’ll see how it goes though. Right now, I’m kind of hoping I just survive.
Pam Well it sounds like you are having yourself a little mini-vacation even if you are working. Haha! I’ve had food dreams before but not of something I have recently eaten. Usually it is of something I haven’t had in a while and apparently my mind is reminding me that it still exists and is yummy! Only 2 treadmills for cardio is pretty pathetic. I am not a treadmill fan either so would be pretty bummed if that is all they had for cardio. I would rather run outside than use the treadmill … but then again I’d probably be afraid of getting lost and just keep circling the hotel! I’m glad I’m not alone in not being to finish the second set of L-crunches.
Cheryl Happy Birthday! Hope you get to do something fun today!
Have a great day!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the birthday wishes. This was the first day that I have worked on my birthday for a very long time. I have to find time to get here everyday because it is getting hard to catch up with everyone. I have been getting my workouts in this morning was the upper body premix from Muscle Endurance. I have also been working out in the garden too getting soil and spreading it around. It must have tuckered my out Saturday because I fell asleep around 8:30 and didn't wake up until 5am. I thought that was good until I found out the next day that I had slept through a kitchen fire across the street. There were two firetrucks an ambulance at the front of our place. They had the hoses running down to the fire hydrant and a generator going for spotlights so they could see what they were doing. All of the neighbours including my DH were out on our front lawn in front of the bedroom window talking and watching the goings on. And here I was going Zzzzzzz. Even when my DH came back inside after it was all over he came into the bedroom and said "I can't believe you slept through all that" and all I came back with was Zzzzzzzz. I didn't think I was such a sound sleeper but I didn't have the windows open and I do use a sleep mask which blocked out all the the emergency lights that were lighting up the bedroom. Why can't I sleep like that all of the time.
Anyway tomorrow is my PT session but I will try to get back into posting every day.
Have a great day everyone
Cheryl

First I want to wish Cheryl a Happy Birthday!
Wishing you had a fantastic one.
Tonight was Low Impact Series CardioSuperSets - Cardio Supersets Express + Step OMG! It was one of the best I've done in a long time. It was like a carrot in front of me trying so hard to reach it but just couldn't quite do it. That's a perfect wrokout! So challenging yet not quite there. LOVED IT! My heart felt sometimes like it was coming right out of my chest. I guess I was anaerobic at times.
Eunice, Great job on yesterday's disc 4 chest, shoulder, biceps and for doing most of the push ups on your toes and upping your weight. I'm so very proud of you and am glad you are proud too. Makes my buttons burst! Also great job on today's disc 6 and for kicking your own butt. Is it bruised? LOL Oh No! Poor Rachel. HOpe all goes well tomorrow with her running. Let us know what happens.
Pam, I do put my matt on the step topper and then place my hands as flat as I can on it so the chest muscle is engaged. I've found it certainly does hurt my hands if I don't use my matt. Sorry I didn't tell you this before. You are just the type of person that makes their environment work. Bravo. I need to remember to do things like that. Hmmmm that spaghetti carbonara sounds so goooood. Glad you enjoyed your morning and slept in.
Julie, Great job on GS chest and triceps. I miss STS workout and I think you treating these GS workouts only confuses the body even more. Good for you. OMG! I'm so glad nothing happened to you with your car acting up so weird. Good thing you are having it looked at tomorrow. I hope the best for you. I won't worry about DOM's anymore then. I guess I am what I am.
Cheryl, Great job on the upper body prem from ME. Glad you got some sleep even though you made yourself so tired by gardening. Can't belive you slept through all that commotion. Poor thing, you needed that rest.
Take care everyone and have a good evening,
Janie

Pam Yes, that's what I just wanted to think it works for me Wow! it looks like you are going to be pretty busy this coming month, if it is all fun is all good! isn't? 30 people in one house OMG! that just remind me of the movie grown ups, have you seen that one? I mean is just the thought of getting a lot of people in one house, not that you guys are going to be getting wild or anything like that... just funny!! I know it does has lots of push ups but I'm getting better, my legs are ok, not that crazy sore still I can feel it deep on my muscle but nothing like walking like a crab
You are having a good time and that's good, your dinner sounds yummy but I haven't have that food before so I don't know how that taste like. WOW!!!! finally you got to sleep in that is so awesome I think you did sooooooo good not being worry about working out today, enjoy your vacation!
Julie Awesome job doing Gym Style chest/triceps you are doing so good going heavy and taking a little bit of a longer rest that sounds good... Cannot believe that you got stock not being able to back up, I'm glad you did had space to move the other way, I hope is nothing expensive oh boy! when is not one thing is other or two at the same time, that is just crazy.
I'm doing STS I forgot the name of the way to do it, one week meso 1 next week doing meso 2 then go back to meso 1 and so on, for cardio I'm doing what ever it feels right that day, or whatever you or Pam did I hardly go to the forums so that's why I did missed it what she say. Actually that what you are saying I've hear it before too, working out legs till failure causes to increase the hormones that we as female don't have and it does help to build the upper body, I told about it to DH and he is not that convinced any ways you are doing it and who knows maybe it does really help then I'll go and do legs twice per week. I'm sure you will survive
Cheryl Thinking of you in this special day! hopefully you enjoy it. I guess your own present was having a good sleep, and that is awesome since some times is hard to have good nights. I hope it keeps that way for you.
You don't have to catch up with every one for now just post when ever you can, good job doing all of your workouts and doing your school. Looks like you had being pretty busy with your garden too, you must had have done a lot if you sleep through the noise and all the craziness across your house, good for you!
JanieGood job doing Cardio super sets express + step I'm glad that you liked it , well know you know which one is the perfect workout for you. I think still bruised because I don't have those desirable DOMS but deep, deep on my butt is pretty sore, not like last week but a nice sensation.
I'm so proud of my Rachel, poor baby when she finished the run she started to cry because her toe was in pain but she did sooooo good she got in 8th place she ran 3k I'm not sure if she did it for the regionals or not but if not she is an "emergency" runner.
Today I did Athletic Training I wanted to see what was with the Athletic Step Extreme premix and ay ay ay! very hard one we repeated the beginning of the workout twice so the final product was doing it 8 times and the squat/shoulder press twice hard on my butt and legs again I guess secretly I'm looking for a good set of DOMS, we'll see tomorrow I know my quads are sore now. Doing it this way we don't do biceps and back triceps I did add the biceps not the back/triceps because tomorrow it'll be their turn.
Well have a good day everyone.

Julie great job on GS Chest and triceps. I like how you are doing it with the heavier weights and longer rests. So sorry to hear about your car problems. I'm glad that you were close enough to home so that DH and your neighbor could come and rescue you! Car problems are such a pain. It's tough being without the car for awhile and the unexpected repair expense is never fun at all. I hope it isn't anything too serious.
Yes, we are having a bit of a working vacation, it's fun. DH thought he was going to have to go to dinner with a customer last night and I was seriously thinking about going back to the same restaurant for the same pasta He ended up not having to go to the customer dinner though and we went to the cutest little pizza place where they cook the pizzas in a wood burning oven. I hate to run in general so sometimes I will go outside and run when I travel but it is too easy to make excuses since I hate it so much!
Janie Great job on your LiS cSS pre-mix, so glad that you enjoyed it! I haven't tried that pre-mix but I do like that workout! it sounds like you really worked it hard! Good for you! No problem about not mentioning the mat before. I am always wondering how Cathe and crew do so many pushups with their hands on the step without them killing their hands! I've decided that I need to make carbonara at home to see if I can make it as well. That could be a dangerous thing though!
Chery Wow, that is some excitement that you slept through, you must've been really tired! Obviously you needed the sleep. Great job on your workouts and your gardening. It sounds like you must be getting some nice weather! I saw your workout posts on FB so I knew you were doing a good job keeping up with the workouts.
Eunice Yes, we have some very busy weeks coming up but they should be a lot of fun. I haven't seen that movie grown ups, is it good? maybe we should get it to watch while we are there. It really isn't too bad having all of those people in one house. The houses are huge (this one has 13 bedrooms, a theater, a game room, it's own pool) so it doesn't feel like you have 30 people in one house! Everybody pretty much does their own thing too and each family cooks dinner one night. It's really fun. I mean is just the thought of getting a lot of people in one house, not that you I'm glad to hear that you aren't crazy sore but that you are still feeling your hard work. If I find a good carbonara recipe I will share it. It is definitely not a low fat/low cal meal though. cream, bacon, egg, parmesan. I think that is why it tastes so good!
Oh good for Rachel, congratulations to her! Poor thing running so hard with her toe hurting so much, what a trooper!
Oh wow, that AT premix you did sounds like a tough one!!! That first part is so hard on the legs, I can't imagine repeating it! Great job! Good for you adding the biceps too!
Last night there were 2 parties that we 'had' to go to as part of DHs conference. The first one was a little dull so we just stopped in for a short time, but the other one was at an outside bar with a really good live band. We stayed there until about midnight and then went to another place. The band was just finishing when we got there so we didn't stay long. We got back to the hotel at 1 am so no workout for me AGAIN! Hopefully I will get one in tomorrow morning, although we have a wine tasting to go to tonight That could be trouble. Have a great day everyone!
Pam

Janie Great job on your LiS cSS pre-mix, so glad that you enjoyed it! I haven't tried that pre-mix but I do like that workout! it sounds like you really worked it hard! Good for you! No problem about not mentioning the mat before. I am always wondering how Cathe and crew do so many pushups with their hands on the step without them killing their hands! I've decided that I need to make carbonara at home to see if I can make it as well. That could be a dangerous thing though!
Chery Wow, that is some excitement that you slept through, you must've been really tired! Obviously you needed the sleep. Great job on your workouts and your gardening. It sounds like you must be getting some nice weather! I saw your workout posts on FB so I knew you were doing a good job keeping up with the workouts.
Eunice Yes, we have some very busy weeks coming up but they should be a lot of fun. I haven't seen that movie grown ups, is it good? maybe we should get it to watch while we are there. It really isn't too bad having all of those people in one house. The houses are huge (this one has 13 bedrooms, a theater, a game room, it's own pool) so it doesn't feel like you have 30 people in one house! Everybody pretty much does their own thing too and each family cooks dinner one night. It's really fun. I mean is just the thought of getting a lot of people in one house, not that you I'm glad to hear that you aren't crazy sore but that you are still feeling your hard work. If I find a good carbonara recipe I will share it. It is definitely not a low fat/low cal meal though. cream, bacon, egg, parmesan. I think that is why it tastes so good!
Oh good for Rachel, congratulations to her! Poor thing running so hard with her toe hurting so much, what a trooper!
Oh wow, that AT premix you did sounds like a tough one!!! That first part is so hard on the legs, I can't imagine repeating it! Great job! Good for you adding the biceps too!
Last night there were 2 parties that we 'had' to go to as part of DHs conference. The first one was a little dull so we just stopped in for a short time, but the other one was at an outside bar with a really good live band. We stayed there until about midnight and then went to another place. The band was just finishing when we got there so we didn't stay long. We got back to the hotel at 1 am so no workout for me AGAIN! Hopefully I will get one in tomorrow morning, although we have a wine tasting to go to tonight
That could be trouble. Have a great day everyone!Pam

This morning I made it through Afterburn despite some pretty loud quad DOMS. I think it may have helped the DOMS though because I am not failing the toilet test as bad now. DH took my car in but we haven't heard yet about the repairs. I'm sitting her fidgetting just waiting for the call and the price.
Cheryl Wow, you did sleep well Saturday night to sleep through all of that. That sounds nice to be able to sleep like that all the time. Maybe you should do yard work every day so you can! Just kidding. Great job on Muscle Endurance Upper Body.
Janie Great job on CSS + Step! I really like the step bonus. CSS alone is good but the step portion is so much fun. I miss STS too. I’m thinking I will do Meso 3 after this 4 weeks of Gym Styles.
Eunice Tell Rachel I think she is amazing for running with her sore toe! She is certainly a super woman in the making (like her mama!). Great job on Athletic Training premix! That sounds like quite the bun burner. Plus adding in the biceps with the band and dumbbells! Wow! I kind of feel like I am cheating on Gym Styles by adding in extra rest time but then I am lifting so heavy I am sometimes not able to complete the last rep or two so I know I am going really heavy. Well, I’m glad you have faith that I will survive two leg workouts a week. My 2nd leg workout is tomorrow with Butts & Guts Overall Leg Premix; so, if I don’t post tomorrow, please send someone to pick me up off the floor.
Pam You sure are living it up down there, you party animal you! I can totally understand the workout breaks would be easy to do when you are in a hotel. I’m traveling to Dallas in the middle of June and I am thinking about what videos I can take to do in the hotel room. Of course, I’ll be traveling alone and aside from one work dinner, I have not been invited to any parties or wine tasting. Maybe I’ll have to do my own wine tasting in the hotel room.
Have a great day!
