STS first time!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
I fell asleep before midnight. I woke up at 12:15 , said Happy New Year and went back to sleep.
I can barely walk today. The front of my thighs are hurtin. I hope I don't have to do the stairs too much today. And my core is screaming. I can't believe I have done core 3 days in a row. I am liking this dvd set.
I am pleasantly surprised to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Hard Strikes today. I did the whole thing plus Core 1. I have never done any boxing and I thought I would not like it but after doing it , I think I want to buy the gloves. It was really fun. Tomorrow I am doing Bi's and Tri's and core 2.
It is so nice to be on a rotation that is doable for me. Take advantage of your youth ladies. :D

Missy I would love to see you write a cookbook. :p What w/o are you doing tonight?

Marie I love ALL of the pics of Breckin. I save them all. He is a happy baby. I am glad to see you are back to STS. I love that w/o. One day this year I will do STS again and maybe use some Xtrain on cardio days. You did a huge w/o today. I wish I could do 2 w/o's a day.

Carolyn Get down to the mailbox. There is plenty of stuff you can do from Xtrain. The booklet is nice reading. There are so many pre-mixes.

Good afternoon ladies!!! I am going to start the 3 month cadio and weights routine today!!! Excited, as I have arms/shoulders and calf doms today....

Carolyn--- I thinj you may enjoy hardstrikes....its not 100% boxing...Cathe throws in core, weifhts, squats....it is just dun!!! And using the gloves makes it even more fun!!!

Tim & I are driving home from the big city....went to steak and shake for lunch and hit target and kohls. Scored and new exercise outfit at kohls @ 50% off....got a pair of capris and a pull over fleecey jacket....so I can hit the outdoors occasionally..... heading home to prepare a meatloaf for dinner...i like to bake it and let it cool and then reheat it for dinner....I think the spices set in...that away???

Check back later.....
 
Happy New Year, girls! Health, wealth, and happiness to one and all!

I DID receive XTrain yesterday! I looked in my mail slot at 1 am, and would you believe I haven't opened it yet??:eek:! I will though. I just worked out--yay! HiiT DWP and CF bonus abs (this ab section oddly is not chaptered separately.)

My sis is leaving on Friday. Boo! Fun chaos so far. They went out to lunch with friends. Uh oh, they just got back. Check in later!
 
Happy new year girls!!!

I just steamed the lobster tails last night. They were so good. We also had fillets, broccoli, salad and baked potatoes. Everything was soo good. We didn't stay up either. I was so tired.

We personally didn't have any damage from Sandy, but other parts of the island did have major damage. So we were very lucky.

No workout today. I got up made the family pancakes and then we packed up and drove home. We took our Christmas decorations down on Friday and DH just got done taking down the outside lights. So we are ready to start the new year.

Anyone have any resolutions? Mine is to take more pictures this year. Funny my DH actually laughed at that one because he thinks I do, but looking back at 2012 ones. It didn't seem like i had enough. Also to have more patience with the kids...

Missy, your recipe sounds great. I also make mine homemade and I don't follow a recipe. Most if my cooking is like that. I do love to cook.

Carolyn, great job on HC today. How is your DH feeling?

Jean, I'm Proud of you for starting the rotation an getting right into the workouts.

Marie, B is so darn cute.

Betty, great job on the Hiit workout today. Enjoy your family.

I'm catching up on some work today... I can't go back into the office tomorrow without catching up. I would never dig myself out. Bbl.
 
Jean, I totally forgot to wish you a HB a few days ago! Happy belated to you! Are you a nice round number? As in 6-0? Congrats!!!

Carolyn, that's awesome you did HC!

Marie, Breckin is adorable! You know what I see each time on your pics? His huge feet!:D
Extra snuggles for me!
You are admirable to hit workouts so hard so soon after a csection!

I guess I better go open Cathe right now!:D
My waist fat rolls have rolls!:confused:!

Just a quick check in....
I did All out low impact Hiit-Premix 2* Low Impact Hiit + Burn Set Chest :D

Oh yeah....day 1 of my rotation....loving being back on a rotation.....

It was tough....my arm are screaming...I am going to be sore tomorrow...thats all I can say!

Thank goodness...tomorrow is Legs...I may not be able to pick my arms up!!!:eek:

Off to prepare dinner!
 
Betty I am 59 not 60. Please don't make me any older than I am. :( I LOL'd over your fat rolls have fat rolls. I know how you feel. After you start Xtrain , you can add core to every w/o. Even though I know that abs are made in the kitchen.

Missy You aren't going to be able to walk after legs. I am supposed to do that one on Thursday. Have a nice day at work tomorrow.

Carolyn I am glad you are starting to walk. I recall that you were walking before you started your running program. I hope your package comes tomorrow. What kind of scarey roads ahead is your husband facing with his health? Is he definitely having surgery? I hope he is alright.

Colleen I didn't make any resolutions this year. I can't imagine you need more patient with your children.

Jean
 
Carolyn, it's Double Wave Pyramid. I wanted something with no equipment. Was short on time and space.
Nice going on the walk. Is that the friend who has lost 29 lbs?
Your poor, poor DH!
Do you have a smartphone? There are apps for clocking your walk. mapmywalk, or runtastic pedometer... I clock mine religiously. Write down all my workouts too.:eek:

My youngest does start school tomorrow. There are going to be some bleary eyes at 7 am! Me and DH being on top of the list. We have been routinely going to bed at 2 am or after this school vacation!:confused:

My XTrain package looks awesome! My guide is a little dented from the dvds, though, (don't mind me; just a little anal about my books), but the inside is spectacular. I only looked at the stuff for a minute or two. Can you believe that? I'm so weird like that!

My sis and family are out meeting her high school friends for dinner, thus my multiple posts.:D

It is very frigid and blustery.:confused:

Congrats, Missy, Jean, Mary--the ones who have dived into XTrain!

Colleen, I don't overtly think of resolutions. I suppose cut back severely on sugar intake would be one of them. (Notice I didn't say eliminate?) I like your being more patient with the kids one; I'll adopt that one too. I'm sure you're very patient with them.

Sorry Jean!!!
 
Jean---Happy belated B-day....I am sorry I missed it! I didnt know! :( Hope you know I still love you! Hope you had a fabulous day! I almost pee'ed my pants laughing.....I may not be able to walk either....hehehehe LOVE it!!!

Carolyn---definately download the app to your phone....I use mapmywalk and mapmyrun....it is awesome! Love it!:eek:

BTW....I am off tomorrow....so I will be able to do my workout during the day....probably after I watch Y&R....these past few weeks...having this time off has been amazing....but come thursday...my life goes back in full gear....5 days on, 2 days off!!!! Not complaining, I love my life! I just am enjoying this time!

Okay...gotta do some chores...good night my friends!:D
 
Carolyn Isn't it amazing what exercise does to you. For the past few weeks I haven't worked out , was in a funk and wasn't posting much. Now I am doing Xtrain everyday and I am posting like it's going out of style. You will get back in the groove because exercise is a big part of your life. You will find other ways to exercise. Like when I hurt my shoulder last year (which still isn't right) , I just did stuff that didn't involve my shoulder. It will be better after the children are back in school.

My phone is also just a flip phone. I don't even know how to text. I am from the age of rotary dial. Those were the good old days.

Betty I can't believe you can stay up till 2am. I can't tell you the last time I was up that late. What is it about sugar that makes your stomach feel so bloated? I have had alot of sugar lately and I can immediately feel a difference in my stomach when I finish eating it. Even after a cup of coffee.

Jean
 
Yeah, Carolyn, so happy to hear that the walks have improved your mood. That makes me smile. You will get there. I will hold off on doing a rotation with you until you are ready.
 
Good morning!!! My upper body os fried!!! Lol....i am for real...can you say DOMS....oh yeah!!!

Doing my morning cardio....then off to town...a few errands....and then come home for some rest on my last day off!!!

Tim has a sinus drainage and sore throat....so I have to get some medicine for him....he will mever go to a dr unless he is on his death bed....so.....

Okay....gotta finish my cardio....be back shortly!
 
Good Morning Ladies,

Back to reality today. The kids actually did really well this morning, me not so much. It was hard getting up at 5AM. I did Super Cuts this morning. I don’t think my mood fit this workout today. Plus my knee is fickle this morning too. I think otherwise, it was a great workout.

Carolyn, I am not ready to start a rotation yet, I am just going to sample the workouts for now. I am more than happy to wait. I just have very mixed feelings with these workouts right now. They look awesome, but I’m not sure if it is what my body needs right now. So I’m just going to go with that for now. I haven’t done a HC in a while and I think I need to do that tomorrow.

Missy, I hope Tim feels better, that’s not a good way to start the year. Good for you on getting your cardio in on your day off!

Hi Betty and Jean.

Got to get some work done, BBL.
 
Missy,

Here is the link to the spin bike site I was telling you about:

Jeff Wimmers StudioCycles | New and Certified Pre-Owned Studio Bikes and Accessories | StudioCycles.com

Also, the bike I have is theLemond Revmaster Pro, which I LOVE!

I have tried the Keiser M3, but was not a fan, as it seems to be built more to tall people. I am only 5'2 (well actually 5 1 ½ )

I have only heard fantastic things about the Schwinn AC Performance Indoor Group Cycle, top of the line and pricy.

I have also used the Spinner pro bike (makers of spinning), which is also a good bike as well.

Hi Ladies. Today I did bi's and tri's and Core 2. That was quite the w/o. She did a new exercise "one arm plank kickbacks". I thought that was going to be hard but it was fine. I liked that one. Those tubing exercises were great. I can't wait for the 1rm's section to be ready so I know what weight I should be using and I can print the w/o's. I seem to be doing fine with what I choose. I am surprised Cathe goes as light as she does. These w/o's move so quick. There is absolutely no rest between sets. I forgot to say that on Hard Strikes she does that sit up/push up combo. She does 6 sets of 6 reps each . I didn't think I would be able to do it. I made it thru 4 sets by the time they were done. They go really fast. It was fun though. Missy how did you like those? They don't seem to show Al much. When we were stretching today , they made sure to focus on Amanda's boobs on one of the stretches. I don't like when they do stuff like that.

Colleen I hope you have a good day at work today. I always hated going back after vacation. So much to clean up after the person filling in for you.

Carolyn I hope you got your package today.

Becky I hope all is well with you.

Hi Betty.

Hi Missy.

Hi Marie.

Jean
 
Carolyn, it's because of my knee. I really have to be careful with what I do with my knee not to aggravate it. Today it is not happy and I think it's from super cuts. Yeah for DOMS today.

Jean, I did a lot of catch up work yesterday afternoon and i am still catching up today. Unfortunately, no one fills in for me when I'm out. :-(
 
Carolyn--- so glad you received xtrain.... enjoy the book and let us know what you think....

Watching Y&R....
