STS first time!

I am so sorry Missy. Men can be very stubborn. I always have to beg and ultimately negotiate with my DH to go to the doctor. He was having chest pains a while back and I told him I would not to the doctor with my stomach issues until he went in. He did and he is fine. I sure hope Tim's eye is ok.
 
Carolyn, sounds like you had a good lower body workout today. How's the knee?

Do you stretch enough? I'm finding when my knee is bothering me my legs are usually really stiff. I wonder if there is any connection?

So glad you got your ds in to the doctor and he is on meds.
 
She's 11. Poor lil lady was in such pain today. I hated seeing her like that. We are super close to her and her sister and have been since they were born. I cry when I see them perform in the school musical or at their band concerts. I'm gonna be a mess with B when he's in that stuff.

I need a mirror badly. I wish I could mount my tv and then put one on the wall In front of me. Some day I'll make that a reality. Can't wait to have my dream gym....like Missy ;)

Oh Missy, sounds like the flu for sure. poor guy. I hope it is short lived and that you stay healthy!!!

Marie, how old is your niece?! Poor girl! ouch!

Headed down to finish my legs and glutes. The barre work was pretty good actually. The one time I tried TB I used the handle bars of my bike. This time I used my barbell while it was on the rack. It was the perfect height. I thought Cathe gave the perfect pointers. Every time she said "you want to be like this..not like this", I was in the wrong position!! I love having a mirror to look in to check form.
Marie did you put a mirror in the basement? It's the best! I think I got mine at Home Depot. or was it Lowes??

ok. bbl.

I didn't get it yet. Beyond bummed. I ran to the door to check when I got home and nothing. Tony just smiled. He knows how excited I get about my Cathe workouts. Hopefully tomorrow.....

so the floor work on disc 5 was just eh. The only time I really felt like I was burning was when she had you add the 5 lbs dumbell behind your knee. I am so uncoordinated! I had a really hard time holding it there. I think that is what creates the burn, is that you are having to hold that so tight, and in doing it, you squeeze your butt extra hard.
I did the 100 rep hip thrusts. I only made it to 75 with 40 lbs. I felt in mainly in my inner thighs. I think I might have turned my toes out too much.
Hoping for some doms tomorrow. Although I didn't feel overly worked with all of the things i did today. I need squats and lunges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow I will try the bis and tris Colleen!
Marie, did you get yours yet??

Here's to hoping Tim is better soon. I'll keep him in my thoughts. Keep us posted!

I remember when that happened to you. So scary is right.

Good evening...okay...i had a freak out/stress attack in the kitchen....so I ate a bunch of caramel popcorn...

So there goes the scale...:(

Tim is in bed...he does have a cold....but his other issue is.... he think he burned his eyes welding....he has severe eye pain, a migrane that will not go away....he cant be in a room with light....i made him a sandwich and soup....and we ate dinner in the dark...with just a candle in the background.... if this does not get better by tomorrow...he is going to see someone....well he just doesnt know it yet.

That is why I had a melt down in the kitchen... i feel so bad for him. All I could think of was the incident I had were I lost my vision driving down the road a few months back....scarey....

Please....kept Tim in your prayers....he acts like it is nothing....but I am scared for him!

Going to go do some cardio....I need a pick me up!!!

Bbl!

Good Morning friends!

Tim is up and is doing a little better. He did go to work. He said his head still hurts but nothing like yesterday. At least he was able to open his eyes. I told him last night, if not better he had to go to the doctor....so he is better...LOL....I think that was to shut me up. But at least he was able to sit in a room with some lights on.

I did do 30 minutes of cardio this morning...not my usual....as I was running around the house helping Tim.... I have gained 2 freaking pounds....I think it may be muscle water retention???? Since my muscle are sore??? As long as I can get it back off...I will be okay.

I am at work...lots to do....:eek:
 
Hey girls,

My sis & family just left. Mountains upon mountains of laundry and cleaning to do! Not to mention the sleep deprivation and exhaustion! With the endless stream of visitors, the house is filthy! But it was all good.

So much bad eating and no exercise, so the first order of business is some Cathe.

Marie, that's really exciting you got all those new workouts! I can't believe you have not rcvd XTrain! It must be an oversight, or misdelivered!

Missy, glad Tim is feeling better; those were some serious symptoms. I always feel helpless when DH gets a migraine.

Carolyn, nice DOMS. Good luck at the chiro! Keep us posted.
(Use DS's iPod touch with those walking apps during your walks.)

Bbl. Better start on Cathe!

So. Tired.

Hey Ladies,

Checking in with 39 minutes on the spin bike and I am hoping to get a walk in layer.

Oh my DOMS today. My bi and tri and are fire!!

Missy, glad Tim is feeling a little better. I hope he doesn't overdue it today. Don't sweet the 2 pounds. It is probably use to the water retention from the lifting. I was up this am and that's what I am contributing mine too.

Good luck Carolyn. I cannot wait to hear about your appt. my knee has been really screwed up since super cuts.

Betty, I'm sure you'll be glad to get back to normal. Have fun with cathe today.

Jean, did you get all your attends done yesterday?

Hi Marie.
 
Happy Friday Ladies. Today I did Legs Premix 3 - 60 mins Legs , 10 min rear delts and 10 mins warm up and cooldown. I hope I can walk tomorrow. It went alot faster than I thought it would . Lots of variety and tons of lunges. I know if I could do this w/o twicw a week , I would really see a difference in my legs. You leg ladies will love this one. I am glad it is over. I might start doing some patching today and get my surfaces ready for paint. There is so much to do to get this house ready to sell. Since my husband works , all of this stuff is on me. Yesterday he was off and we ran errends all day. No w/o.

Betty It sounds like you had a fun and busy 2 weeks. I hope you do an Xtrain w/o today. Are you eventially going to do a rotation?

Missy I am glad to hear that Tim is feeling better today. He will probably go to bed after dinner.

Carolyn I hope the chiropractor fixes you up. That was funny about your son getting his first pimple. Hopefully it will be his only one.

Mary How did you like the leg w/o today?

Colleen My bis and tris didn't really feel that w/o. I felt good while doing it but nothing yesterday. I can't wait till we can print out the cards and get 1rm's.

O.K. I guess I should do some work.

Jean
 
Good Afternoon....

Tim update: He worked till noon....now he is at home in bed. His eyes are okay, or so he says...he just has a headache and a massive cold. So he feels he needs to rest more. When I get off work today, I am going to Publix to get some groceries and then go home and cook dinner.

I will then attack Cathe....I am blamming the increase on the scale on the new workouts....hehehehe

Okay....for the laughter of the day..... I didnt have anything going on today at lunch...so I ran into Bealls Outlet...which I never do.... It is January so everyone is trying to loose weight...so I thought I would check out the fitness clothes...yes, I have more exercise outfits than real clothes...LOL...Yes!!!! So, "LARGER" people sure to do have more to choose from....and why is that? Well...its because they DO NOT exercise...so it doesnt sell!!! hehehehe :p I did score 2 new sports bras...They are so cute...just loved the colors....I promise you this....when you go to size Small....there is literally 1/4 of what is in the Large and Extra Large sections...hehehehe :p;)

Back at work....tonight I will be tackling Tabatacise... I was suppose to do it last night, but I did not want to be jumping around...because Tim was sleeping...so tonight it on!!!! hehehehe:p

Check back later my friends!!!
 
Yes, Marie, did it come??

It never even crossed my mind to do XT! I just wanted Cathe ASAP, so with Marie's latest workout in mind, I pulled out CF. With the bonus core. Clever ab routines but doesn't do much for me.

Finished vacuuming & washing floors.

Carolyn, you've got another gem in the chiro! Priceless! What useful knowledge he imparted!
Lucky you with those core DOMS!
 
I did Xtrain Legs today - ouch! I did the standing and most of floor and rear delts. I cannot imagine doing the whole leg workout at once, so impressed you did it Jean. I went really deep into the slow warrior lunges, and everytime I stood up today my butt was talking to me! Excellent workout. I also had some doms in my rear delts but I forgot I had worked that area as well and could not figure out why my upper body was talking to me too.

Carolyn, your PT appt sounds like good news, it sounds like he will get you on the right track. I have also read about barefoot running but can't imagine doing it.

Missy glad Tim is feeling better, hope you stay healthy as well!

Betty have you tried any of the Xtrain workouts yet? I did not do my 1RMs but do pretty well when I use Cathe's weights as a guide.

My big plan for the weekend is to put away all Christmas decorations!
 
Good evening!!! I went to publix after work...Tim wanted real food...that is plus....he teqiesting a chicken breast woth mac n cheese...yes not very healthy...but he wanted it. I got groceries while there. When I got home we ate...oh...I had a salad.hehehe.....Tim ate is dinner....he said he is hungry....just feels bad. So he ate and then sat in living room for about an hour and then went to bed.....little progress.

I just finished a 72 minute Cathe workout....yes my arms are like jello.....I am in trouble tomorrow!!!

Bring on the DOMS!!!!

OKAY....Carolyn----the chiro was wonderful....i jave heard about barefoot running....does he think it is good for you????? Please explain....

Off to shower...only have 25 minutes till a pair off nike pants go off on ebay...o am the higgest bidder....dont want to miss out!

Bbl!!!
 
Just won my new with tags....nike capri dri fit running tights....oh yeah! I tried a pair on at the store....and fell in love with them. But, they were $50.00....just won them for $20.00....oh yeah!!!! :eek:
 
Disc 3 legs today. I also did the CF core bonus and STS extended stretch. Wow have I been hungry today. I feel like I should be less hungry when I lift but I think I remember being extra hungry when starting STS last time too. Tony was off today. We got lots of random stuff done around the house and of course enjoyed our little man. I packed away his 0 to 3 month clothes and took out the 3 to 6 month ones. He is growing up so fast!

Missy- So glad Tim is feeling better!

Carolyn- Nice job on the bi's and tri's. Hoping for DOMS tomorrow :) Can you believe it didn't come. I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't gotten it yet. Do you guys think I should call? I'm not even sure who I should contact.

Jean- Nice job on legs. Lots of variety...I like that. Can't wait to try it.

Colleen- WTG on spin :)

Betty- Glad you had a nice time with your family. Way to get down to business with Cathe! I feel the same way about the CF core bonus...hardly worked my abs! I'm so sad XTrain didn't come. Chances are it won't come tomorrow either since it's Sat :(

Mary- Nice job on legs!
 
Good morning!!!!

I am up bright and early...on my way to the treadmill....gonna get a hard run in this morning!!! :)

Marie--- go into your store acct...and email the contact us....they normally respond promptly....good luck...and yes...I get hungrier when lifting....you just have to be careful on the extra calories.

Carolyn--- i love ebay....buying and selling!!! Happy bidding!!! Let me know how you like the book and I may have to buy it!!! I am always reading fitness books!! Just finished a jeff galloway book....womens guide to running!!! I actually just ordered another on ebay last night.....hehehe....i get just as excited over fitnesd books as gadgets/dvds....i am just a fitness junkie!!!

Okay...off to run!!!!

Check back after!!!
 
Good morning,

Just finished breakfast and now drinking some coffee and thinking about what workout to do today.

Missy, awesome score on the pants

Marie, I would also contact customer service. They are awesome and respond quickly.

Carolyn, what an awesome visit to the chiropractor yesterday. I started to research some last night and was also reading up on runners knee (that's what I was diagnostic). I iced my knee last night and took some Advil and it feel better this morning. When I was reading last night I did read some on alignments and possibly needing orthotics. I used to wear orthotics due to plantar fasciitis and tendinitis. I already stopped wearing heels and I'm wondering if I need to go back to orthotics.

Betty, good job on CF
 
My morning cardio is done! Ran 5.25 miles!!!!

Just ate breakfast....Tim is up and watching TV....this is the first time he has actually watched tv in days....his goal today is to stay out of the bed. He looks better...but time will tell.

I am heading to town....just found a recipe I want to make...gotta get a few ingrediants!!!

Have a nice saturday!:D
