STS first time!

[cdimatt]

I forgot to mention that my biceps and chest are sore from SuperSets yesterday.

Betty, I feel that same way. Pushpull and supersets do not get my heart rate up. I usually burn about 200-250 calories with those workouts. But now that I have some DOMS I feel a little better about supersets!

 

[cdimatt]

Carolyn, I hope your DH's friend is ok.

 

[Bettypcw]

Carolyn, my day is not complete until I hear from you! I noticed that you didn't post. A whole year--that's got to be a record.
It has almost been a month since your surgery? Fast.
I hope your friend's husband is all right. Poor man. Healing wishes to him.
I totally hear you and Missy about the heavy flow. I can't tell you what I've experienced in the past 10 or 15 yrs! You both should seriously look into the Mirena IUD.

Missy, I just looked for the XTrain covers! So exciting!
You know, I don't like Cathe wearing the tee to work out in! It looks like she's in rehearsal.
Congrats on finishing your shopping! I swear I don't give it much thought till the pressure's on! Now that the kids are older, we hardly do much shopping since we just buy whatever whenever we want it and don't wait for Christmas.

Jean, I'm glad you liked the book. So many more fun ones to read!

Colleen, I couldn't put my finger on it but you hit it right on the nose--my heart rate didn't go up with PP. I do feel that PP and Supersets are 'easy', as if anything of Cathe's is.
Good luck at the dentist. The 4 of us have one coming up in mid-Dec.

I forgot to say that when doing Yoga Ab Circuits yesterday, somehow I was able to hold the bow (?boat) pose for a while. I swear that Cathe's workouts since LIS have really given me core strength, definition, and the ability to do pushups on my toes!

Ever notice the Daily Deal features the same workouts over and over?

Hello....

Carolyn---I hope you friend is okay...I forget to mention this earlier. Sorry!

Betty---Tim and I have always made christmas out to be very big!!! We too buy during the year...which makes gift buying hard....that is why I start in October with brain storming....it is tough...but this year....I had tons of ides for Tim....Christmas Eve...we also have a tradition to do a christmas jigsaw puzzle together...all day....it keeps our mind off of the gifts...hehehe..... We turn into kids!!!! I am always excited to get my gifts...but more excited to see Tim open his. As for Cathe in her Tshirts....I agree! But I do like her in shorts....she has nice definition in her legs....something for us to work toward.....

Be back....

Good Evening!!!! Today was massive crazy....I worked through lunch because patients were everywhere....I brought my lunch today....thank god...I ate my salad while waiting for some patients. It was nuts! Once again....all of these crazy people thnk they need meds.... when all they need to do is learn what diet and exercise is!!! So I left at 4:30 today and went to the grocery store.... now I dont have to go Saturday morning!!! I can just relax at home!!! Looking forward to the weekend!!! I have to work front desk tomorrow! Oh well....it makes the day go by pretty quick!!!

Tomorrow night....Tim and I are going to dinner at this awesome mexican resturant...yum yum!!!

Off to workout....

Carolyn----have fun shopping tomorrow!!! So glad to hear your knee is healing and coming along quickly! Dont forget your list!!!

Be back!

 

[missyt]

$25 's later.....ds is fine. We were with the nurse practioner for a whopping 10 mins tops! Waited a half hr! Oh well....he is worth every penny.
My knee is killing me! Behind it on the opposite side as usual. I am so confused! I am not sure if it from the exercises today or something else. I am so discouraged. He taped my knee because I was complaining that the patella was occasionally coming out of alignment. When it happens, it is a sharp pain. He says that my pelvis is off by a whole inch! Im defective! Hopefully I will learn something at the orthopedic surgeon on Monday.
I am a miserable b!tch right now, sorry. I have zero tolerance when I am in any discomfort. I am waiting for my advil to kick in.

Carolyn---- glad to hear your husband is okay. As foe the pelvis being off by an inch...i have been there. I would go to chiropractor several times and it would be aligned. I know it can be painful!! So sorry!! Rest... and maybe the advil will help! Sending get well hugs!!!!

Will check in as i can!!!!

Have a nice friday!!!

Good morning, Ladies!!
Checking in with Tonique premier today. If you want a great calorie burn and a total body workout, you have to try it. It has LOTS of squats and lunges with light weights (2lbs) and upper body moves. I torched 480 calories this morning!

The dentist was good yesterday, no issues, no cavities!
The GI doctor prescribed me with some medicine to take. I am supposed to take it 3 times a day, before dinner, at bedtime and before breakfast. So Wednesday night I took it before dinner and at bedtime and I took it yesterday morning before breakfast. Yesterday morning I could not wake up and then I was in a complete fog all day and just couldn’t think straight was light headed and couldn’t see right. Came home and checked the side effects and it was drowsiness, dizziness, lightheaded…basically everything I was feeling, so I am not taking it anymore. I’d rather deal with the stomach issues. I am looking forward to next Friday to hopefully shed some light on what’s going on.

I just finished wrapping our gift for adopt a child program. It’s sponsored through my work and we sponsored two kids this year a brother and sister. It feels so nice to give to others.

have a great day.

We don't want homeland...

Hi Ladies!

It's been crazy 'round here, but I did manage to get MMA Boxing and the Heavy Bag add-on in. It's my first time with a heavy bag and I really really liked it. Enough that I'm getting a few more heavy bag boxing workouts to add in. I think this bag will get a lot of use as both my teens really enjoy using it too!

Colleen -- I hope the belly issues are solved quickly!

Hi to Missy, Betty, Carolyn, Jean, Marie and everyone. Getting ready to start Meso 3 in a couple of days.... Looking forward to the slower pace (I hope!).

Dad is recovering slowly, but well -- thank you all for your prayers and good wishes.

Happy Friday Ladies. I haven't worked out in 3 days. I am in moving mode. Yesterday my husband and I went to Delaware. We had to go to several places to pick out countertops, slate backsplash, wood flooring and ceremic tiles for the bathrooms. Then we put in a contract for the new house. It was a very busy day. The builder said they should be done by Sept.1 ,2013. The building will start the end of April. Today I took 7 boxes of books to the library to donate. I counted 206 books. Tomorrow I am hoping my husband will load up the p/u truck to take all of my other stuff to donate. I have about 10 boxes of stuff. There is still so much to do.
Can you guys believe tomorrow is Dec. 1st.? Where did summer go?
I never look at the daily deals anymore because it is always the same stuff. I wish she would just give everyone a 20% off anything coupon.

Carolyn That is too bad about your friens husband. You know he is in pain. I hope he has a quick recovery. That is real nice of you to help out with her children. You really have a way with words talking about your period and doing to PT. You had me laughing out loud. I can picture it now. Can't the PT guy adjust your pelvis?

Colleen I know I would also discontinue taking those meds. I do not like not feeling normal. That is nice how your work does the adopt a child program. I have never heard of that. I used to sponser a child in another country when I was younger.

Becky I am glad to hear your Father is recovering. Slow and steady wins the race. He is lucky to have a good daughter to take care of him.

Missy That is great that you finished your shopping and wrapping. Now you can sit around watching Christmas movies and enjoying the season.

Hi Betty and everyone else.

Jean

Well, gol-ly! It is frigid! Arctic air! DH and I went for a walk, and with two pairs of socks my toes stayed frozen the whole time.

I did AB this morning. I seem to be doing it more often than I remember. I apparently did it earler this month too. It is still very hard, but getting easier. So much get-down-on-the-floor work. That's the killer part.

I have a split pea with ham in the slow cooker. Been going for several hours. The house smells so good.

Jean, I watched L!fe Happens on Netflix yesterday. Have you seen that? It was very good. I pressed pause so many times that I could have enjoyed it a lot more. I love Kate Bosworth's character! She makes no apologies for who she is! That Krysten Ritter is such a cutie. With those huge gorgeous eyes.
I would love to go through your boxes of stuff! I'd be in heaven!
Does that mean you're not moving in the spring?
Selecting materials for a new house--dream come true!
I agree with you that our Carolyn does indeed have a way with words!

Carolyn, I'm so sorry for your friend's husband! What an unfortunate accident! Hope he's not disabled from it!
Want to hear of your bargains when you get back from shopping with mom!
Sorry, don't watch Homeland either.
How does one's pelvis become off by 1"? How does the patella come out of alignment??
Sorry about the TMI but don't you also use Tampax etc? I couldn't live without it!

Colleen, good job getting to the root of your malaise yesterday! Meds are full of bad side effects! I hope your stomach settles down until your appt.
It's so nice for you to join that adopt-a-child program. I did that through our elementary school in the past. Did you hear of that NYC rookie cop buying a high-quality pair of boots and thermal socks for that homeless barefoot man in Times Sq? Brings tears to my eyes each and every time I hear it!

Missy, now that you're all done shopping and decorating, you can just enjoy December! I love Xmas movies but every year I forget to watch them.

Becky, hi there. Thanks for updating us on you, your workouts, and dad. You are to be commended for taking care of an ailing parent. No one ever pats you on the back for that.
Enjoy knowing dad's recovering and you're all home together.

Hey Marie! Hope all is well with you and your little man.

I'm freezing. Time for afternoon tea! (It's such a darling custom, I'm trying to remember it daily. Except I have a cafe mocha)

 

[marazoe]

Betty I haven't seen LIFE HAPPENS. It looks good so I put it on my Netflix list. Thanks. Do you ever read those book reviews on here by" Maddiesmum"? It sounds like she is a real reader. She discusses 2 books in OD. I put Wife 22 on my wish list. Have you ever read that?

Jean

[cdimatt]

Hi ladies,

It was a nice day here. 55 and sunny. We took the kids to see Santa today. No workout for me today. We went out to breakfast too. They had gluten free pancakes and they were yummy.

We are now going to take the kids to get milkshakes and drive around to see Christmas lights!

Hope everyone had a good Saturday. I need to workout tomorrow.

Missy, your weather is making me green with jealousy! That to me is the perfect temps! Year- round would be ideal.

Awesome in that LONG premix!

Have you seen 12 Dates of Christmas? Just watched and it was so cute!

Congrats on your 1000th post! Horns & confetti!

 

[Bettypcw]

Hello
Not that many good deals yesterday. I mostly helped my mom with gifts for the grandkids. I did get my daughter a really cute purse that she will adore! There are just not enough hours in the day. Our day flew by!!! I was stressed because I had to get back to let the dogs out before I got the kids. I picked my dd and friend up 10 mins early so that we could get to speech early. They had a soccer game imediately after so it was a mad dash. Luckily my son was able to go to a friends and then daddy picked him up for hockey. The kid is in love with hockey!!! That was not my plan! I thought I would let him give it a whirl since he was begging for years to play. I thought for sure he would do it, and not like the early mornings. Stupid me! He got his uniform shirt yesterday and was so proud!

Betty, I alwasy use tampax, but because it was my first day I was flowing like a river! I was so paranoid that I would end up leaking, that I wore a pad for back up! I felt like a teenager! I was so self conscious of my rear view! Like everyone could look right at me and know that I was sporting a matress between my legs! Ha!! I even made myself laugh outloud with that one! I have a truckers mouth!

Jean, all of your house talk is so exciting!! I would love to pick out all new stuff! We built our house in 95, so it is dated. We have all stained wood throughout. I love all the painted moldings they have now. I also love the really wide stuff. Mine is all narrow and stained a honey color. Make sure you share every detail so we can all live it with you!

Marie, I hope all is well with B!!

Becky, good luck starting meso 3! It was one of my faves! Very basic but very effective!!

Colleen, that totally stinks that the meds did that to you. Good for you for not reading the side effects until after. That way you can tell your doctor you were not imagining it! So often I read through all that stuff before taking the meds and then I am convinced I have every symptom!!!

Missy, you deserve a good meal! You can work it off today!!

I did a bunch of floorwork today. I did not use ankle weights though. I used the band llike that guy had me do in PT. I dusted off the brazillian butt lift dvd. I did the High and Tight and Sculpt dvd. It was awesome!! I hate all of the beach body ads on it though. The instructor on this has an awesome accent! I can't wait to see if I have DOMS tomorrow. That would b nice! The PT guy says I need to work on glute strength for my pelvis issue. I can't wait to hear what the surgeon has to say. I wonder if I will need a chiropracter?? The pt guy has me lay on my back with both legs straight out on the table. Then he has me bend my bad leg up towards my face. He puts his body weight on it, and has me push back against him. Like we are trying to shove eachother. It is supposed to realign my pelvis. It works to some degree, but then quickly goes back to where it was, once I start walking. I am not sure if I have always been this way, or if it is a compensation for my knee. Hopefully I will find out Monday!!!

Time to eat! ttyl

Carolyn, the PT exercises are interesting. I wonder how off my bones are! I would think your glute strength is pretty good considering you work that area often.

What have you gotten yourself into with the hockey?? At least your son is passionate about it.

That's exciting you built your house! My sis in CA is on her 2nd one and things get dated quickly! I would love huge crown mouldings, wainscoting, radiant heating, a conservatory, a workout room, a family room, a gourmet kitchen, an attached two-car garage, and more than anything, a Craftsman-style house is my dream. I could go on all day.

I always use tampax in conjunction with a mattress. Can't do one without the other.

I have AB DOMS everywhere!

Flurries and a dusting here today. Very dark day.

Colleen, driving around to see the lights is awesome! The pancakes complete the perfect day, esp with mild temps! Ooh, milkshakes! What childhood memories you're forming!
