STS first time!

[Bettypcw]

Good morning!

Speaking of B&G, I actually put it in my player, and the after scanning around, I asked myself why I was doing another workout targeting butt, legs, and core so soon. So, after much debate, I pulled out 4DS LIS & Sh, Calves, Core (66 mins). I have never liked dancy step and it's been a while for this one, so I was one step behind again during the step portion. I kept confusing its moves with those in LIS or TTM/CF. Ugh. Plus, I always felt this workout doesn't work me that hard either. Aggravating. Ok, enough of me complaining.

Colleen, my filing cabinets need to be thinned out too! It's an exercise in frustration to file! Planning to get to that as well--have started but have barely touched it since.
I should just pull out TBT next time for lifting/conditioning; I too find the DOMS from that workout lasts for days!
The dustballs and cobwebs are a never-ending battle.

I've simply got to finish up my Xmas cards today! Tired of having that hang over me!

Missy, enjoy the office party. Ho ho ho! Sounds like your docs treat you well.

 

[missyt]

Good Afternoon.....Well all of my girls and the docs had a lovely time.....It was so nice. I got the fire roasted chicken breast with prov cheese and 1 slices fries green tomato....no bread for me.... and instead of cheese grits I opted for a side house salad with fat free honey mustard dressing. It was delish!!! Dr Beverly (the bike rider) sat across from me and we chatted the entire time about fitness/sexercise/cooking...it was nice....all the other girls chatted with Dr Brewer about ???? hehehe....the girls do get jelous of my results and lifestyle...but....thats there problem....

My bonus ....$600........ YEAH!!!

Jean---I am so proud of your for the cardio...I am sure you look absolutely amazing......you go girl...."skinny" jeans and boots!!! SEXY MAMA!!!!

Betty---I use to hate step because it was tough....but once you master the moves...it is alot of fun! Just takes time.... Even if you are not on the same step as Cathe....you are still burning calories! But I do understand....I hate not to be insinc.... I also hate exercise dvds where the people are all at a different pace....drives me nuts!!!!

Okay...back at work...better get a move on it....lots to do by 5.

BBL!

 

[missyt]

Jean---Thanks for the congrats for my hubby! I will definately tell him.....It will make him feel good! You are truely so sweet....I feel like your my sister!!! Always so nice....I am an only child...so I never had a sister....so I am adopting you as mine!

 

[missyt]

Jean---your exactlly right...flaunt it girl!!!!

I did CF today and it ROCKED! What a sweatfest that one was. This is my second week of working out and I feel great! B usually gets up around 5 or 6 to eat, so I feed him and then head to the basement. He goes back to bed at that time. As much as I would like to go back to bed too sometimes, I know it may be the only time I am able to get a workout in. He is getting into a fairly nice routine though. He takes little cap naps throughout the day but does get a long 2-4 hr one in during the afternoon. At night he gets up 2 times to eat and then goes right back to bed. It's been great! We are really enjoying him

Missy- Can't wait to see the new workout room! Good way to spend your bonus.

Carolyn- I'm glad you've been able to do some working out. I feel ya on that wanting to get back into it hardcore. Not being able to workout for 6 weeks was not fun! You are so healthy though you will be back at it before ya know it!

Jean- Rock those skinny jeans! I know you look fab with all the working out you do

Betty- Babies are amazing aren't they! So fun to watch them learn. I downloaded an app with black and white pictures with splashes of red. They change every few seconds and plays music too. He just loves it! Just starring away. Yup I did the whole 90m BM2 lol! I LOVE that one. My goal is to get that one in once a week.

Colleen- I'm with you on the crowd thing...ugh! I avoid going to Target on the weekends, even when it's not the holiday season.

Becky- Way to work it on STS. Can't wait for XTrain!

Well I better head to bed for a couple hours before my little man gets up again. Glad to be back and I will check in as much as I can.

 

[missyt]

Good Morning! Yes I am up bright and early with my hubby! He is getting ready for work and I am getting ready for my crazy day. 4 day weekend here we go.....

My gym is offically closed....I started moving stuff late last night.....still alot to go! HEHEHE

I have a highlight appt at 11am...it normally takes my hair dresser around an hour or so to do my hair.....then gotta get groceries. I am going to do an hour on the elliptical after Tim leaves for work....that way I feel like my day is starting off right. I never feel right if I dont do my morning cardio!

Be back soon!!!

 

[missyt]

Oh....I almost forgot......12 days till Christmas!!!!

 

[mfv3]

Good morning Missy

 

[mfv3]

So last night I'm starving so B and I head to the grocery store and I couldn't resist my urge to get a bag of chocolate drizzle sea salt kettle korn. We get home and I sit there mindlessly munching it. Way too good. Suddenly I look down and over the half the bag is gone. Ugh! Feeling so guilty, especially since I was doing so good with my eating. Major damage control is needed this morning. Just finished feeding. Pumping now. I'm drinking tons of water and about to bust out the big dogs and do TTM for the first time. Headed to the basement soon.

Have a good Thu everyone. Tony is off today and tomorrow. So excited to spend the day with my 2 favorite guys

Good morning marie!! Up bright and early and on the elliptical....i havw another chore just added to my list today....went outside this morning and there is a cat....and it was not being nice to my babies....so Tim and I caught it...so I have to take it to cat shelter.... good thing i woke up early today....just finished moving all my gym into other rooms in the house....so sad yet so excited!!! Looking forward to tomorrow..

Marie--- let us know what you think about ttm...

 

[missyt]

good morning!
Not a ton of time to post. I have pt and then am in the school this afternoon.
I need to get downstairs and do some leg work. My knee was not good yesterday. I am not sure if it was from HC yesterday or the leg stuff the day before. I was reaaaallly careful yesterday with HC and only did the leg stuff on the floor, not on the step. I left out one part when you are in a plank and put most weight on one leg. I am sooooo discouraged. It has been 5 weeks! I should never have had surgery!!!! What was I thinking??? I only had pain when I ran or walked fast. Now I will probably not be able to do Cathe without that pain.
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Be back later for personals. woe is me kind of day, sorry

Carolyn--- you are fine...we are here for you.... hugs!!!

 

[cdimatt]

Good Morning!

Checking in with 10 miles on the spin bike then HC March 101 and STS extended stretch this morning! It was a good workout.

Oh as the day went on yesterday I go more DOM in my inner thighs from B&G and DOMs in my ABS. So I was excited!!

Sorry Carolyn that your knee is bothering you. Hang in there. I'm sure the PT will start to help.

Marie, wow, you sure are getting into the tough workouts quickly. Enjoy the time with your boys.

Missy, have fun on your 4 days off. I am so excited (and a little jealous. ) of you floors. How cool!! Congrats on your bonus!

Colleen- enjoy the doms...i just love muacle soreness from workouts...love love love it!!!

I am sitting at the salon....under the drier.....tick tock..

 

[Bettypcw]

Uh, excuse me, Carolyn, were you MIA yesterday??
What an interesting tidbit on HC--your core has improved and you're sitting taller. That's very appealing. Hmmm...
Give your knee time to heal. Think of it as, It has only been 5 weeks.

Marie! How are you doing BM2, CF, TTM after a c-section!?? I tread so carefully after mine, like I was going to split. You are amazing!
I hear you on the kettle korn! I buy a giant Costco-sized bag, and I eat so much of it, it's not funny. Hmm, going to have some now! And last night, I had to have some Crunchy Cheetos! (Just got in a walk, so I feel less guilty.)
Don't worry about the calories, Marie. You're burning through them. No, scorching them. With the nursing. Not to mention all that Cathe you're doing already.

Missy, I love that pampering! Enjoy your very long weekend, and good luck on your 5K. Can't wait to see your new floor!

Colleen, that was an awesome routine this morning! Way to go. Love those doms, girls! We are sure gluttons for them!

Hi Becky and Jean!

Sunny today and not much wind, so the cold air is not too intolerable.

 

[cdimatt]

Carolyn, I went all in with the HC workouts. I got all the hardcore and 101 workouts from her site.

I went through a little buyers remorse at first, but overall I am happy that I got them. I'm still tyring to fugure out to how get all the workouts I love in during the week. That's one thing I do love about the 101, it's 25-30 minute workout, but with no warm up or cool down, so they are easy to add on to other workouts.

I also do LOVE LOVE LOVE the results! I am finding even with Cathe moves I am able to perform so much better. My core is so much stronger and my core is really rock solid - too bad you just can't see them.

 

[missyt]

hey
Marie, you are amazing that you are able to do those workouts already! Good for you! That must be such an awesome feeling for you. A little taste of your "new life"!!! Enjoy your day with Tony.

Missy, I can't wait to get the update on your floors! Hope your hair came out how you wanted! What happenened iwth the cat? wouldn't it be a riot if you brought a neighbors cat to the shelter?! If I saw a cat in my yard, I wouldn't know who it belonged to. We keep to ourselves as best we can!

Colleen, what are the 101's like? Is that the only one you have? I am very interested in getting more HC. I love what it has done for my core. I even feel like I sit up straighter.

I almost forgot.....present #2.....












It came and was not in a box....came just as is....so Tim said I could go ahead and put it together....I was super excited!!!

Tim has instructed me not to be seen if any more packages come regardless!!! Hehehe

This dumbell rack will be awesome in my newly remodeled gym!!!

 

[missyt]

Thanks Betty. Good way to phrase it. The PT said the same thing to me today. He did give me the ok to try 20 mins of spin. I will give that a "whirl" on Saturday. I only have two appts left with him, which makes me a little nervous. It has been nice to be able to rely on him to fix me.
I had to crack up at your statement about us being gluttons for doms. For some reason I was assuming what you were going to say, so in my head I started to read the word pronounced like "glute"-ons!! Am I obsessed or what?! I think I am super paranoid at losing my little bit of glute muscle that Cathe has given me. The pt said that I shouldn't be worried about getting "flabby" (as I expressed to him today). He said that if I just pay attention to my diet, then everything I am doing for exercise should keep me stable, and I won't lose what I have. I hope he is right!!

Missy, nice score on the deals! What store did you go to?
Very true about the cat. Hopefully if someone is missing him they would call the shelter. My dogs went missing many years ago before we had kids. I was a basket case. I had colored fliers posted that night!!! Luckily one came back on its own 2 days later, and then the other one my neighbor found out in the woods while he was hunting. It was the worst!! I didn't sleep!! They were my first children! I am sure you can relate!

Colleen, I might just have to get myself an xmas present from Sandra's site!!! I am not sure if I should spring for all of them, or just some?? What are your thoughts? I do find it hard to know how to fit them into my routine. Well, my old routine! lol. Right now though, they are perfect. At least volume 2 is. I think bootcamp and vol 3 have too much jumping around. Am I right? it has been a while since I did them!
I was hoping for more doms than I feel today. I ususally can't breath in deep with out pain, after I do HC!! Today I feel it in my core, but only if I stretch side to side.

ok. I better start thinking of supper. My daughter has her xmas concert tonight. I tried like heck to get her a dress but they all look sexy!!!!! Sickens me!!! I don't want her up on stage looking like a little hoe!

on that note I will bid farewell !

Carolyn---- I was at Belk.

 

[Bettypcw]

Wow, how did I miss that gem of a pun! Glute-ons for punishment. Good one, Carolyn!
Your PT guy is right. I love how everything he says is so informative. You are one fit lady, and you'll be fine. You WILL NOT get flabby. You're super conscious about your diet too. If obese America gave a fraction of the thought, we'd be in fine shape.
DS's chorus concert was last week and they were required to wear white tops and dark bottoms. Some girls' skirts were a little too short for my taste. How do their parents let them out of the house??

Colleen, I am envious of your HC core!

Missy, those are great deals! More presents under the tree! And the dumbbell rack is so awesome! I always look longingly at Cathe's tall black one. I have one a tad smaller than yours. From Target.

Jean, boots with skinny jeans--I bet you'll look smokin' in them!
You know how skinny jeans are a trend revisited? When they first came back out, I thought to myself, No Way, I am not wearing them again! I still don't own a pair, but am not as anti-them anymore.

Do your radio stations play Mary's Boy Child by this group called Boney M? This song has been around for over 20 years and it is simply (along with O Holy Night) my favorite song! So catchy! Listening to the words (of both songs, really) gives me goosebumps!

Speaking of goosebumps, anyone looking forward to the Les Miserables film?

 

[missyt]

Good Evening! Okay...it is freezing outside!!!

Just got home from the Home Depot!!!! I have all the materials....I just unloaded them....they are sitting in my living room.....I am so excited....it is all so real now!!! Cant wait till tomorrow....I will post pics as my room is going together!!!
