Strength in Numbers

Pam Today was soooooo cold again, I guess (DH would say) is winter:D and that made me so lazy too.:D:D:D thanks for the complement! you are so sweet! I'm older than DH for 6 years :eek: but he keeps me young:p:p Stacy loved lasagna she is the one eating it 3 times this time I had it only once:p I went to check the Cathletes group and I saw the post, I want to go and see the commercial or something but I don't think I would get it. I'm glad you have others that you like. I was thinking the same about mixing meso 3 and meso 2 hopefully I can survive that. Wow! busy weekend of yours! sounds like fun though a concert at the beach with a nice weather sounds like a good one.
I like the name of the step workout you did, Down & Dirty sounds like a tough one. The core workout sounds good too, those planks ay ay ay!! Good for you! Good job doing PUB and core first, Have fun doing 40/20

Julie That is way to early Julie, what are you doing up so early and how do you survive doing your workouts!!!! well you are amazing girl! I don't have squat rack to do meso 3 leg but I would love to, your plan sounds like a good plan doing plyo and squat rack, yes! definitely you need to take it easy with cardio.

Janie Your walk for the forest sound lovely, but the part of the sweaty!:eek: Lol just kidding! that's how we all like to be at the end of a good workout. Thanks for the suggestion I have at least take a peak at the July rotation.

Cheryl Yes, times is moving so fast now, DH did start feeling paper for the flight tickets, TMO or the movers, soon we have to start selling the car then preparing Sam to go to the US, fast, fast!!! Sorry you didn't get to workout, but you had a little time with your neighbors, that's nice... if it was me even during a good weather I'm inside my house:confused: Sounds like a fun job a marshal for your brother is going to be soon huh?

Last night I had the bad night ever! (so, so) DH was turning, tossing, moving, that I couldn't sleep right away, so of course I had to help him:eek::eek::eek: to get tired, sorry girls!!!! well, anyways it was a so, so night so today it was pretty hard to move around the house I was dragging to get the girls ready for school, that bad I was thinking about going back to sleep:confused: But NOT I took Sam for a short walk, then I did disc 23 legs, I thought if I don't get in the zone I would had to stop and do it another day, but I did so another one bite the dust!!! + the weather was freezing today! OMG what a day!
Have a good one!
 
Julie OMG, 3:45 is sooooo early! I just don't know how you do it! I was doing 4:30 when I had to drive the kids to school, then I'd be so happy when they went on summer break! The best thing was when they started driving themselves and I didn't have to get up so early! Great job on the AB pre-mix. Wow, squat rack AND plyo legs, you are a machine! I have never done the squat rack legs, you'll have to let us know how you like it.
Yes for the pushups in HC you get in a plank position and then hold one leg up parallel with the other one, then do 2 counts down and 2 counts up pushups. I think it was only 8 on each side, but they were hard!

Janie Great job on your walk in the forest and 30/30. Don't you just love being a sweaty mess?! :D I have no doubt you will drop those pounds and get right back on track again.
I'm glad to hear that the itching is getting better. Hopefully it will just go away and not come back. For the last couple of pikes in PUB, my butt would no longer go up in the air :rolleyes::confused:

Cheryl Oh wouldn't that be nice if every week was 4 days?! That would be heavenly. The HC workouts are very different than Cathe. She has one that is a bootcamp workout and I may try that one at some point. The ones I have are only 20 minutes, so not sure if I would like a full hour of this or not. I'm thinking that the bootcamp one may be a little different though. Oh yes, those abs in PUB are killer. It really made a different doing them first though. As soon as I saw that workout on my calendar I heard you reminding me to do the abs first ;) Thanks for the reminder!
I had the same problem when I worked out in the evening - there was often something else that came up that kept me from doing it. Oh, it sounds like fun being the marshall on the bike course for the triathalon, very cool! I wouldn't be too excited about being there so early either though!

Eunice It's hard for me to imagine that it is winter for you. We are supposed to have 100 degrees this weekend :rolleyes: I would still take 100 over winter though. I hope you get some nicer weather. I didn't know that you had robbed the cradle ;) jk! You don't look like you are older than your DH, you look the same age. Oh our oldest loves lasagne too, that is his favorite meal. I always try to make it when he comes home from school to visit. Yes, Mindy's workouts are very good, I like them a lot.
Oh, I'm sorry that you had such a bad night. I hate it when DH is restless at night. You are such a good wife helping him get to sleep!;):p Great job on pushing through disc 23 when you were so tired! I hope you got a better sleep last night!

Last night I got home later than usual so almost talked myself out of doing 40/20, but then I told myself it is only 30 minutes so I bit the bullet and did it. I had eaten a few peanuts when I got home though and man, my stomach was not happy with me at all. Luckily I made it through without throwing up though :rolleyes: This morning was Cardio Supersets. That is a short workout and not too tough, but for some reason it seems like it drags to me. Have a great day ladies! OMG, I almost forgot, did you see the shipping notice for the new workouts? Sounds like they might shipping this week!!

This morning was disc 26 Plyo Legs. Oh those half turn jumps! Why do they start out ok and then get almost impossible towards the end. I guess I always know when I am close to being done if I lose count by the burn in legs and butt!

Janie Great job on being a good sweaty mess with 30/30! I bet your little doggie just loves going for walks with you in the forest. As hard as you work, I don’t think those few pounds will take long to lose.

Cheryl No worries on missing my post. It happens. I can see how studying outside could be distracting. That is something to be proud of making your instructor sore for a couple days. The triathlon event sounds fun. Although having to be there at 5:30 am on a Sunday does not sound fun.

Eunice Poor girl! What a night. I’m sorry it was so restless. I hope you recuperate tonight. I have to get up that early if I want to get my workouts in the morning. I have to leave my house at 5:45 so I have to get up at 3:45 in order to get my workout done and get showered and ready to leave for work by 5:45. It can make lifting heavy really hard sometimes. I don’t have a squat rack either. I have Cathe’s Turbo Tower and since I am short, I can use that to rack and unrack the barbell.

Pam Wow, you are so good with doing 40/20 even though it was getting late. I am glad you didn’t toss your peanuts! Great job on doing CSS this morning! Ha, I can get up at 3:45 because I go to bed no later than 7:30. It also helps that DH gets up at the same time as me most of the time. I tried squat rack legs once before and didn’t like it but I think it was because I used a vest that was very suffocating. This time, I am going to try just using my tubo tower as a squat rack and not use the vest and see how it goes. Even with only doing 8 of those pushups per side, that sounds like it would be very hard. I saw the shipping notice and about freaked out!!! I’m so excited!!

Have a great day!
 
I'm a creature of habit. I say this because I went for my cholesterol test today and I was suppose to fast and then can eat after the blood test. Which I did. Been dizzy ever since. I tried to do MMA:F but couldn't keep up so while I watched Cathe and crew I spinned. Still got a terrific workout, but man talk about weak and dizzy for not eating? Geesh!

Cheryl, You can call it a rest day. How exciting about your brother and being a Triathalon Official. And how exciting for you helping him out on the bike course as a marshall. You do the neatest things! Enjoy your spiffy race shirt.

Eunice, So sorry about your bad night. Must have been very frustrating. I take my hat off to you for having such a night and walked Sam, and did disc 23 legs. Yea for you!

Pam, Very proud of you doing those Pikes. Wow! Oh yes, once you dread an exercise and still do it anyway, seems like it's not so bad after all. Good for you for doing it. Yep, I've done that before as well. Ate and right after did an intense workout. Don't want to ever do that again. I don't like calling out for Ralph. Great job on CS this morning. Oh yes, we'll have the new workouts in our hands very soon now!

Julie, Great job on disc 26 Plyo Legs. I know what you mean with the half turn jumps. Whew!

Take care,

Janie
 
Julie Great job on disc 26. Oh yes, the dreaded 1/2 turn jumps. I NEVER lose count on those. I am counting down from the start. Theyu usually start talking to me by number 8!
Wow, I usually haven't eaten dinner yet by 7:30. Last night I wasn't even home until after 7:00. You know, I haven't even previewed squat rack legs. I think my copy is still in the shrink wrap that it came in! :rolleyes:

Janie Oh yes, not eating makes me dizzy too and gives me a major headache. Good for you for hopping on the spin bike when you were having trouble with the dvd. I bet you got an even better workout than if you had done the tape. Thank goodness I didn't get to the point of calling for Ralph, but I think he was hanging out closeby just in case :p

This morning I really wanted to stay in bed, but I got up and did Pyramid lower body. it was really bothering me having the barbell on my back for so long though, so I switched it over to the front for the plie squats. That helped a lot. I'm thinking that a nap would be a really nice thing......if only! I guess I have the Wednesday blahs. Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
I didn’t sleep well last night and had a hard time getting going this morning. Today was disc 27, shoulders, biceps, and triceps. I thought I wouldn’t do well with such bad sleep but I actually have several 1RMs that I need to adjust because I could lift more than I thought. Maybe I should get bad sleep more often. Oh and plyo legs did a number on my glutes! I have some deep, deep glute DOMS.

Janie Oh that sounds horrible being dizzy. I can get light headed and nauseous if I haven’t eaten. I also get crabby too. I’m glad you were able to do some spinning. How are you liking your spin bike? As Pam said you probably got a better workout with the bike. Plus it is best to be safe.

Pam Well you and I had the same kind of morning. Great job on dragging yourself out of bed and doing PLB! Wednesdays hit me hard too. I’ve actually contemplated switching my workout week to be Thursday through Tuesday with Wednesdays off but then I am a creature of habit. Yes, DH and I are old before our time. We could totally take advantage of the early bird specials since we eat dinner around 5:30. :eek: You probably don’t even need to watch the squat rack legs DVD. You could easily follow the workout sheets although Cathe did have some nice form pointers and it is nice to not do it alone.

Have a great day!
 
OK, I just had to come back to tell you that I just got the tracking number for the new videos. The delivery estimate is Friday!!!! Yippee!!:p:D
 
Got to the Beach House and it's now official. We have flooring in all rooms. Yea, it's done! Now to put up curtains and pictures... Another first is that we had some friends (my life long child hood friend) and her husband for dinner, walked the beach and played a card game. It was a blast. Didn't do a workout tonight, but will catch up tomorrow. It's always nice to have tomorrow. We ate healthy food, all of us and no big portions.

Pam, You know, I was standing there during the workout trying to figure the routine out, so that's when I did get on the spin bike, I thank you are right, I did have a better workout. Great job on PLB. If you have a weight vest or a weight belt, adding weight like that instead of on your shoulders helps so much. If you don't, you may want to think about investing in one. They are little miracles. Lucky you on the tracking number for the DVD's. Yea! Looks like Friday is going to be a fun day for you!

Julie, I'm surprised that with not enough sleep you had such a good workout. You never know. Great job disc 27, shoulders, biceps and triceps. Lifting more is improvement. Congratulations! OOOOOO those glute DOM's need to be rolled. I love the spinning bike. It is so different from a stationary bike. If I'm not careful and don't remember to put the brake on or slow down, the bike almost makes me fly off. LOL:eek: It only took one time of that.:eek::rolleyes:

Take care ladies, and have a nice evening.

Janie
 
Julie Boo, sorry you didn't sleep well but boy oh boy, you had an amazing workout anyway! great job on disc 27 and improving on your 1 RMs, that is just awesome! Oh boy, deep glute DOMs too, I bet you are a happy girl! :p I did Tuesday-Thursday as my workout week when I was doing 4:30 am workouts. That mid-week sleep in helped me a lot. It made the other days a little more bearable knowing it was just 2 days in a row. It would be easier though if DH were getting up at the same time. Well there is a benefit to your schedules - the early bird specials!! You are so funny :D

Janie HOORAY for the beach house being done, how exciting!!! It sounds like you had such a lovely day with your friends visiting too. I'm so happy for you! And good job with the healthy eating too! I have been thinking it would be nice to have a weighted vest. One of these days I will get one. It seems like there is always something else that I want more though :rolleyes:
I had to go re-track my package this morning and it says it is on schedule for delivery tomorrow. Yippee!

Eunice and Cheryl I hope you are both doing well!

This morning for me was Afterburn. I really love that one, despite the burpees into the straddle pushups and the dragging zombie pushups! Such a fun workout aside from those :rolleyes: Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
This morning was HiiT 40/20. I still can’t believe how red my face is when I finish those hiit workouts. After that I did Ab Circuits Pilates. Cathe was saying how graceful she feels doing the mermaid move at the very end and I could think of is "of course you look graceful, you are Cathe!" I didn't look in the mirror but I am pretty sure I didn't look graceful.

Janie Sounds like you had a wonderful day yesterday. That’s great that you got to spend it with a good friend and had a great time while still eating healthy and not over indulging. I wish my family could do that but whenever we get together it is always unhealthy. I’ve tried bringing healthy things but they stick their noses up at it. Oh well! Yep you do have to be careful on the spin bike. My DH got on it and did the same thing. I am sure I did the same thing when I first got it too.

Pam Great job on Afterburn! I have never thought of those as dragging “zombie” pushups. Now I’ll have to be careful not to bust out laughing next time I do them because I'm picturing myself as a zombie. I love that even though there are several moves in Afterburn that I don’t enjoy doing, it really doesn’t have a dread factor for me. CCC on the other hand has a big dread factor for me and there really are only a couple moves I don’t like in that one. I’m so excited about getting the new workouts. I didn’t get a shipping notice but I’m sure mine will be here by Saturday. I did get the downloads too so I could technically get them tonight if I take the time to do that before going to bed at 7!

Have a great day!
 
Janie I have to eat at certain times too or I get weak and dizzy too. At least you could do some spinning and still get a good workout in.

Pam Way to go in getting up to do PUB even though you wanted to stay in bed. Wednesdays are always hard for some reason and I agree that a nap would be a great thing. Lucky you to get a shipping notice. Well you are going to have to do the workouts right away and let us know what you think of them. I still have a couple of weeks to wait until I get mine.

Julie Those half turn jumps are a killer. My quads are talking to me at the end of those. Good job on disc 27 with a bad nights sleep. Wow 7pm is early to go to bed. People give me a hard time when I try to get to bed by 8:30 :confused:. Too funny about you not being graceful with the mermaid move. I'm not very graceful either with that move but Cathe makes in look good doesn't she.

Eunice Sorry you had a bad night. Good for you in still getting your workout done.

Well yesterday I did GS Chest and Triceps and today was MMA fusion. I had my class yesterday and i am now learning how to take someone's blood pressure and figuring out their BMI. I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday it has been a busy week.

Cheryl
 
Julie Great job on 40/20. I am the same way with the beet red face after those Hiits, especially 40/20. And it stays that red for quite awhile! Good job doing the pilates abs afterwards too!! Oh yea, there is nothing graceful about me doing that mermaid thingie either. I feel very awkward doing that one. I definitely don't want a mirror anywhere near me for it! Uh oh, I hope I don't mess you up on those zombie pushups next time because you are laughing too hard. I am the same way - no dread factor for AB, big dread factor for CCC, and the only moves I am not crazy about in CCC are the 1/2 turn jumps and the roll back and jump up thingies. I think it's because they are back to back and that interval is just so hard that I spend the whole first 3 rounds dreading that one! I need to spend some time on my remix of it again and try it again I think......I didn't get the downloads of the new workouts this time since I don't use the downloads very often. I do like to have downloads for any that don't require equipment though, because then I can do them when I'm not at home.

Cheryl I sure hope that it doesn't take as long for you to get the new workouts this time as it did last time. That was crazy! I'm thinking that I will try to do one of them tomorrow since the only thing on my calendar is the lower body premix of STS Total body, and it's only about 20 minutes. I will give you the full report for sure!
Great job on GS chest and Triceps and MMA fusion. I had to learn how to take blood pressure when I did EMT training. It was always really hard for me to hear, I don't know how some of those people do it so fast, but I guess it's all about practice.

This morning for me was Hiit 30/30 and the upper body premix from STS Total body. That is a really strange pre-mix because she doesn't do a warm up or cool down, you just jump right to the first tri-set and when the last one is over you are done. I was already warm from 30/30 though and then I just did my own stretch afterwards but I thought it was weird. I just checked and my new workouts are on the truck for delivery! I just have to figure out which one to do first! I had some killer glute DOMs yesterday, and they are still there today. Wow. I'm not really sure what they are from. I guess my PLB from Wednesday. I also forgot to tell you that I did the other Horizontal conditioning workout on Wednesday evening. There were a lot more interesting twists on pushups in it. I'm still not really sure what I think of these workouts though. They are hard, but since they are only 20 minutes they go by fast. I'm not sure I would like a full hour of it though....Anyway, happy Friday ladies, have a great day!

Pam
 
This morning was squat rack legs. I’m still not comfortable with the front squat. I just can’t keep the heavy barbell in front of me comfortably. If I put it far enough back that it won’t slip of my shoulders, I get choked. If I move it farther away from neck to prevent choking, it slips off my shoulders. I’m debating whether to get the Sting Ray to see if that would help or just sub in leg presses for the front squat. The rest of the workout is wonderful but those front squats are just not working for me. I do have to go slower than Cathe on the regular squats. She goes way too fast for the weight I am using.

Cheryl Great job on getting GS Chest and Triceps done! That one starts out with a dread factor for me but once you get past those drop set pushups, it is much better. Great job on MMA Fusion! Did you enjoy the turtle spins? Those are my favorite! I guess now you can tell people to back off for you wanting to go to bed at 8:30 and let them know I go to bed at 7. That way it won’t seem so early anymore.

Pam Great job on 30/30 and Upper Body from STS TB! That is weird that there wasn’t a warm-up. Good thing you were already warm from 30/30. So is Horizontal Conditioning mainly pushups or is there other core work in there? Sounds interesting but if it was mostly pushups, I would find it easy to pass up doing them. I don’t know why I buy the downloads. I’m a sucker for add ons to purchases I guess. I don’t use the downloads I have now but I guess I am hoping that I will use them in the future or if my DVD ever stops working, I’ll have a back up. Hmm. That would be a hard choice to decide which to try tomorrow. Maybe CrossFire. That one looks tough with those band jacks.

Have a great day!

Pam This year it is a very cruel winter, last thursday we took Sam to the girls school for show and tell, it was freezing and since then I got this huge headache for 2 days... YES!!! I DID!!! I robbed the cradle:p:p but he s doing pretty good! Good job doing 40/20 in the afternoon I know it is hard when we are so used to do it first thing in the morning, yesterday I did almost the same I was working out late in the afternoon 4.00pm :confused: weird! I wanted to talk my self out of it too, but I didn't. Also for doing cardio super sets. I haven'y being here for the a while, but I see that the shipping is already on, have you received yours??

Julie Good job doing plyo legs dec 26. That is soooooooooooooo early! once I used to get up early but not like you, it was 5.00am. You rock my friend! I was thinking about using the weighted vest I have the 12-20 pounds I think so I can try and use that I can put the barbell over my head with 55Lb- maybe 60Lb in a good day + the vest maybe I should try the squat legs for meso 3.

JanieOMG! Janie, sorry about that, I hope your cholesterol and blood test came back good, you should had have something to eat before it is awful to be weak and dizzy during a workout or just during the day. poor thing I hope you did recuperate fast.

Cheryl that sound so cool what you are learning now!! I wish I was near to you so you could take mine! Good job doing GS Chest and Triceps and today was MMA fusion.

Sorry I was gone for a few days, I just went back I noticed that I skipped a lot of yours post... you all are doing so good Pam you have to let us know everything about the new workouts please!!!! Ok, so, all good, or maybe not I had being having this huge headache lately :mad: so weird, so wed I didn't workout, thursday I did disc 23 or 24 well the last disc of meso 2 back/ biceps then yesterday friday I did 30/30 I didn't have a lot of time to spend so I choose this one because it was only 30 min.
Today Saturday I got up late almost 8:30 last night DH and I had a bottle of wine watch a movie, so because I'm not used to drink I woke up with another huge headache :eek::eek: good thing I had some advil next to my bed and water so I took some, now I don't know yet what I'm doing for workout I only know that it is so cold, rainy, and saturday! which means a lot of things can happen (lazy) hahaha I guess I'm NOW talking to my self, also I have to go groceries :eek: at least I have 2 weeks off of not getting up early girls are in school break next week is my recovery week!!! we'll see how I handle that one..

Who had receive the new dvd's?????
Have a great weekend everyone!

Yesterday I did Hitt P and today was Step Moves and Yoga Abs. Great workout. We put up all our curtains. They are so long that they heap on the floor and will cut and sew them until they just touch the floor. Looking pretty good. Photos will follow once I get back to Shelton. It won't be until the 5th of July. Will be there for a week. Have a play on the 8th then on the 9th back to the BH. Yea! Each place is home away from home. :) My cholesterol last year was 259, this year 211. But the ratio between my good and bad cholesterol last year was 3.8, this year 3.9. That's because my good cholesterol went down and not up. I'm so disappointed. I can't for the life of me figure out why?:mad:

Cheryl, Great job on GS Chest and Triceps and today's MMA fusion. Your class sounds so interesting.

Pam, Great job on Hiit 3/30 one of my favorites. And upper body Prem. from STS Total Body. Yes, I notice (when it first came out) that there were no warmup or stretch. Odd. You did good doing them anyway. How exciting about your new arrival very soon. I can't wait to hear your review. Maybe Horizontal...will grow on you. Let us know if it does.

Julie, Great job on squat rack legs. I love doing legs like that for a change. I use the sides of my chest and elbows to keep the bar up for a steady hold on it. It works very well. In 4DS, Jai is using the bar that way and it's much easier. Check it out. You must be using heavier weight than Cathe. Very Good! I'll look up Sting Ray once I'm done posting here.

Eunice, The doctor told me to fast from 10 at night until the test was done, so I couldn't eat anything. O well, it's over. Yea! I felt like myself the next day. Wonder why you are having headaches? If they continue please go see a doctor. Great job on Wed rest day, Thurs last disc back, biceps and yesterday's 30/30. Hoping you get better weather. Such a drag when it's cold and nasty outside. Yea for two weeks off not getting up early, do enjoy.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Julie Great job on squat rack legs. Sorry you are struggling with that front squat, but I'm glad to ehar that you enjoyed the rest of the workout so much! It looks like there are a lot of good reviews for the manta ray sting so that might be the ticket.
The lower body premix for STS Total body was the same way, no warm up or cool down. If I hadn't already done another workout I think I would have added in the warm up from the disk. Maybe she is assuming that it will always be an addon to another workout since it is so short. Horizontal Conditioning really is different than what i was expecting. It isn't all core, in fact it's called a total body workout, so in the 20 minutes she also does some leg work, some triceps and throws in some other things as well. So no, it's not all pushups, although there are a lot of pushup variations. I definitely think this will be an only every once in awhile workout for me.
I bought the downloads last time, but since I hardly ever use them I skipped them this time.

Eunice I agree with Janie that it would be a good idea to see a Doctor about your headaches, you have been having a lot of them lately! I started getting bad headaches about 5-6 years ago and my Doctor sent me for a CT scan. They decided it was just the fact that my hormones were changing so now they I don't get them as badly or as often because she had me just stay on the pill all of the time instead of taking a week off every month. :p Very funny about your cradle robbing! Good for you!! Great job not talking yourself out of your workout! I did receive the new workouts yesterday, HOORAY! I was so excited!
Great job on disc 23 or 24, whichever it was! Great job on 30/30 too. Uh oh, I think you are starting to like that wine a lot, sorry that it gave you a headache though! We are having the total opposite weather to yours, record high temperatures....it is supposed to be 105 degrees today. I went out and got a pedicure and it was 99 then.

Janie Great job on DWP, SM and yoga abs! I can't wait to see your photos! I'm glad to hear that your cholesterol is going down, but I'm surprised that your good cholesterol wen down :confused: How frustrating, especially when you have been doing such a great job with your workouts and food! :mad:

I was so excited to try one of the new workouts this morning. I decided to go with To the Max because it has abs and I needed to do some abs today. It was so much fun! It is tough but there will be no dread factor at all with this one. It went by so fast, I love all of the stuff that she does in it. It starts out a lot like Athletic training. I can't wait to try the other one now! To the Max is going on my favorites list for sure! Last night we went skiing and oh man, my butt was so sore it hurt every time I got out of the water. have a great Saturday ladies, I'm off to clean out the fridge....:rolleyes:

Pam
 
Pam I hope I get the new DVDs soon too and that I don't have to pay duty this time. The machine that I used to take blood pressure has it show up on a screen so I didn't have to use a stethescope (sp). It is weird that the STS upper body premix doesn't have a warm up or cool down, but I guess she figured people would do it as a tack on to another workout.

Julie Sorry that you are having problems with the front squats. I have never heard of the Manta Ray but it may be worth purchasing if it helps you out. I always dread those drop sets of push ups too but after that it is a really good workout. I forgot to tell you last time I posted that I was thinking of you when I was doing those turtle spins. They are a lot of fun.

Eunice You are not alone with the crappy weather. We are getting so much rain that there is a lot of flooding in certain areas and it is doing a lot of damage. The only good thing is that is isn't too cold here. Sorry that you are getting headaches but if they don't go away you should get it checked out. I haven't received the new DVDs yet and I don't expect to for a couple of weeks.

Janie Good job on Hiit DWP, SM and Yoga abs. Looking forward to seeing the photos of your BH. With all the work you and Joey have put into it I bet it looks awesome. Sorry that your HDL was low. Strange since you are exercising and eating well. But at least your total cholesterol was down.

Pam I am so jealous that you have the new workouts. Enjoy them.

Yesterday I was so tired that I didn't get a workout in. I wanted to crawl into bed as soon as I got home. This morning I did GS Back, Shoulders and Biceps. I was feeling strong this morning so I could keep up with Cathe with the exception of the shoulder press where I can only do 12 pounds. This is our Canada Day long weekend and I do hope the weather improves. It is my mom's birthday today and my dad's tomorrow so we are heading over to my brothers for dinner tomorrow. Hopefully we will be able to sit outside if it will ever stop raining :mad:.

Rest day for me tonight. I'll take photos of everything when the sun comes out, it will be better then. When we get back to Shelton, I'll post the photos. Don't know how to do it here.:confused:

Pam, I'm so glad for your review on "To The Max". I can't wait to do it! Even though you may of had DOM's, it sounds like wonderful skiing.

Cheryl, It's good to rest a day when you are that tired. Great job on this morning's GS Back, Shoulders and Biceps. Enjoy the birthday parties for your Mom and Dad and Canada Day. Let hope for good weather, at least not raining.

Have a good one,

Janie
 
Janie Great job doing Hiit Pyramid and today Step moves and yoga abs:D Your house at the beach must be so nice and cute and homie, I can't wait to see your pictures. Sorry to hear that you are not happy with the cholesterol results, I would say not to worry to to much, I think you are doing fine and if you are feeling like a new person every day because of for how much you have done so far, you know loosing weight, getting strong, doing great with your diet, I don't know sometimes stress could affect you more then food. So just hang in there you are doing great.
I'm going to have to watch over my headaches :eek::eek: Thanks.

Pam Thanks I'm going to be checking over my headaches if they keep bothering me, that kind of scare me you know because it could be the hormones changing :confused: The thing is that I have the IUD I don't take pills I might need to change to that. OMG!!!! I'm so jealous because of you getting the new dvd's I wonder if I'm going to get mine soon I hope I get them tomorrow, so the recovery week its going to be NOt to recoveriesh! See, when we get back its going to be a little warm still, there in CA and here is going to be still winter, but then we will get double winter:confused:1 105 degrees oh boy! I hope you are not melting! So excited that you got to try the new one, I can't wait to get mine too, if t is your favorite one that means that it could be mine too. Have fun skiing with sore booty!:p

Cheryl We are in the same boat NO DVD'S yet!:( Still wet, rainy here, all morning its almost 4pm and still just a mist all day long. Good job doing GS Back/shoulders/biceps and keeping up with Cathe makes the workout much better. Enjoy your long weekend.


Well yesterday I was sooo tired and I had so many things to do that I didn't workout,:(:confused: That's alright I have all next week to recover my one lost day. Today is just a chilling day, resting, doing nothing day.
Take care ladies, Have a nice weekend everyone.
 
Cheryl Well that definitely would make taking blood pressure easier if you don't have to use a stethoscope! I was doing the crossfire workout this morning and thinking that these new workouts are going to give you some new ideas to torture your PT instructor with!
I hope that you got or get some nice weather for your long weekend. it is hot hot hot here. Yesterday was a record all time hot for us since they have been keeping records. We were supposed to go play golf with some of our neighbors, but we all decided it was too hot. Great job on GSBSB and being strong!

Janie I will be looking forward to those photos! I hope that you are enjoying your time at the beach!

Eunice please do get those headaches checked out if they keep up, you need to be sure they aren't something more serious than hormones. I hope you get the new workouts soon too, because I can't wait to compare notes and see which one is the favorite! I think you need your recovery week though, so maybe it will be good if they don't come yet ;) I'm sorry you are going to be getting a double winter, that is no fun at all. Now double summer, that I would take!
I have no doubt that you will make up for your one missed day!

Julie I hope you are having a great weekend!

Yesterday afternoon we went to the lake for a ski. It was soooo much harder yesterday than it was on Friday. I think I was feeling the effects of skiing friday night and then the workout yesterday morning, we both only skiied onset because we were pooped. Last night since we didn't
T play golf the neighbors just came over and we made quesadillas for dinner. Today DH is playing golf, I just hope he doesn't pass out from the heat. It is really hot already! I was supposed to be off today but after being up for 15 minutes I decided I needed to try Crossfire. WHEW! This is a beet red face workout for sure! That band tabata section is tough! It's only 5 minutes, but I was happy when it was over. Julie, you'll be so happy to know that your get some of the 1/2 turn jumps in this one. You also get jacks with the firewalker band on, and also plyo jacks, and air jacks. It is tough! So far I think I like To the Max better, but I need to do them both a couple more times to make my decision I think, I didn't notice yesterday that there is a bonus core section on this disc, but I had had quite enough with just the normal workout.
Have a great day everyone!
