STS first time!

Betty- Good questions! I'm interested to hear the responses.

No kidding about my dad's comment. Of course my mom was the one who pretty much raised us. Like I said, love my dad but he was ALWAYS working or traveling for work when we were kids.

Sugar...age accelerator. Yup I'm in trouble. Love my M&M yogurt and protein bars :)
 
Finally got rid of my pregnancy ticker. I think I was in denial that I was done with that phase. I really did enjoy being pregnant but being a mama is even better :)
 
Good evening....i forgot a lemon at the store...so didnt get to my scones today...but i will get a lemon tomorrow....

Been busy doing chores....and Tim and I just watched the movie Ted. Thought we would have some movie time!!! Getting ready fir the biggest loser!!! Hehehe!!!

Jean--- we got a 32 inch smart tv...its amazing!!! It is the perfect size for our living room....we were debating getting a 40 inch...but I am glad we didnt!!! This one is perfect!!!

I did do my workouts today.....and I spent alot of time with Tim!! He was feeling much better today....we never left the house...just hung out watching shows/movies!!!! It was really nice!!

Okay....25 minutes till bl!!!!! :):):)
 
Ok, I'm a dingbat! The answers to my XT questions are on the User's Guide. Ignore me. I have it open to the rotations page now...

Sorry, Marie, you'll see when you get the guide!

Missy and Jean, hope Big L was good. I record it.

Anyone watch the premiere of Downton Abbey tonight? I'm waiting for the dvd since there are no subtitles recorded from tv.

Good night, my friends!
 
Feeding B. I was hoping he would sleep until 7:30 or so but oh well. I better not go back to bed or I might not get my workout in today. Disc 4 today and then I'm going to try a timesaver premix from either TTM or CF. I need to find some short premixes to do on lifting days if I have the urge to do any cardio. Something 20 to 30 minutes from any DVD. Anyone have ideas?

Morning ladies! I stayed up late last night. I watched the entire Biggest Loser...I just couldnt turn it off....I just love it. I did enjoy watching the children....

Carolyn---Enjoy PT....make sure you ask all your questions...and good job on the spinning. I too normally would just hit play....so this time round I am doing premixes....it like you get all kinds of different workouts on the same dvd....I am enjoying them. I also like to go into the workout manager...you can pull up the premixes and they tell you the calories....neat!

Marie---I too love the new pic! Too cute!

At work.....I ran tons of errands before come to work this morning. I dropped off old tv at goodwill, went and bought horse grain, and went to office depot. And still made it to work on time! Hehehe :) Looking forward to getting home and hitting some Cathe...not sure what I am doing tonight...whatever my book tells me....I am on week 2 of the 30 day roataion....

Okay...gotta get some work done! Check in later.....once everyone has watching BL...will discuss it! Dont want to ruin it!!! Enjoy! :D
 
Colleen, the eye appts were for DH & DS. I'll prob get one in a few months too.

Marie, love the new avatar! Adorable! Hope you get some answers today.

I did it! Opened XT (this morning no less!) and completed All Out HiiT Low Impact with Chest & Core #1. I'm doing the 30-day like Missy (for now, anyway). Looove that I could do a lifting set with cardio!!! Loved the whole workout--so different and creative! Bbl to post more. Bkfast then errands, etc

Good Morning All. I slept on the couch last night because my dog kept crying out in pain. So me and all the dogs slept in the living room so my husband could get some sleep . I took my dog to the vet this morning. They are keeping him all day. They want to do x-rays and put an IV catheter in him and do blood work. I sure hope he hasn't eaten something and has a blockage. This will cost almost a whole paycheck. :( I haven't heard from the vet yet so hopefully no news is good news.
I watched al of TBL last night. It was so good. They were dropping like flies. Don't forget it is on tonight also.
No w/o for me today.

Marie That is too bad about your Father getting upset over the baby crying. When my daughter was a baby , she would start crying as soon as we got in the grocery store. We had to get a babysitter to do that. I hope you find out where your Xtrain is. You are going to love it. There is stuff that you can do for your cardio. Love the new avatar. :D

Betty I was wondering why you were asking all of those questions. :confused:
You're a hoot. I did not like the low impact Hiit. I am surprised you liked it with all the lunges and squats.

Missy You are scheduled for Tabatacise tonight. I am going to do that in place of Low impact Hiit this week. I hope I like it better.

Carolyn Have fun with your husband and PT.

Jean
 
Just a quick check in.....

Jean---I hope your dog (baby) is okay....My heart is with you. ;) Thanks for letting me know what Cathe will be doing to me tonight. LOL And I was amazed with the contestants too. I was in shock that the girl on Jillians team just left....Oh....its too emotional...isnt that why you are there...to get help????????? She just wasted a persons chance to change there life....that ticked me off!

Be back!
 
Look what I got :) Happy happy!

On the XTrain note....They apparently sent them to my old address even though I did change it in the system so they are sending out another set today....yay!!!

Missy Glad Tim is feeling better! I think I may need to start watching BL. We don't have tv but I'll have to see if it's on Hulu.

Betty Thanks, I will be checking the guide when I get it...hopefully soon :) Glad you opened XTrain :)

Carolyn Hope you got a good sweat in from Ride! I feel for you that it's been hard to get that cardio in with your darn knee.

Jean I really hope your dog is ok. That is soooo sad when animals are hurting. Breaks my heart!

Disc 4 for me today. I also did a the plyo and fire walker tabata premix from CF. it was the perfect add-on at 23 minutes.

I had lunch with a girlfriend today. I feel like I've been going out to eat way too much. I always get a healthier option but it's still never as healthy as eating at home.

PS- Not sure why my picture posted upside down but whatever :)
 
Jean, how is your little guy doing? I know exactly what you are going through. Cuddles has a similar issue and it ended up being pancreatitis. I hope he's ok. Vets bikes can sure rack up fast.
 
Checking in with ballet body again today. It fit the bill for this morning.

It's been a crazy busy day.

Carolyn, glad PT went well. Anything new to share??

BBL.
 
Marie, how exciting you have all these new workouts! You'll be busy with these while you wait a couple more days for XT. (That means there's a Cathe package floating around in limbo in MN!) I can't believe you didn't have these. I still don't have HST, but don't care for LM.
Do you mean you don't have a tv at all? Any high def tv should be able to pick up NBC for Big L through the airwaves.
You picked a good premix! I'm absolutely loving these metabolic workouts! HiiT and Tabata rock & rule!

Carolyn, I noticed today at TJM that the markdowns are steeper than normal! Yes, I bought things I don't need!:confused: I went in there to return DS's jeans but of course I had to walk around!
Do share those tips of that awesome PT. Your legs got a workout today!
What do you think dh would need to have done?
This is the beginning of season 3 of Downton. You might want to catch up on 1 & 2 first. Very few episodes (~7) per season. Season 1 was captivating and charming. And ho-ly! That estate is to die for! See if your library lends, or watch it through Netflix, are a couple of ideas. If you like formal British period dramas, you'll like this. I love it! I loved all the re-made Jane Austen movies about 3-4 Januarys ago too!

Jean, your poor doggie. I hope he is all right. You gals all have big hearts for your animals.

So the All Out Low Impact HiiT is very refreshing, with some moves from her step workouts, and some new ones. Burn Sets Chest was totally likable, but I'm not sure I'll get screaming doms, or any doms. Cathe's black top with white ring collar is one from STS and for a moment I thought I was back in it! I can't believe Cathe's weights. Is that 35 lbs per side??? My wimpy 15 lbs was just perfect, on the third set taking me enough past her low limit for total failure. On the Core #1 front, I hate situps! I want to say that she so rarely does situps. I have difficulty doing them because of my tailbone discomfort during.:confused:
I love the User's Guide. The listing of the rotation workouts is awesome, and that's what's missing from the STS guide. So now I can just add each workout to the WM manually, rather than downloading a rotation (a problem for me since I don't exercise 6 days/wk).

Missy, I don't mind you discussing Big L as long as you don't tell who's eliminated every week:D. If you remember, I usually don't get to them for a while. Sorry.

Sorry for going on....
 
I couldn't get on the forums last night.
One quick comment for Betty. I did Burn Sets Chest with 15 lbs also and I had nice chest DOMS yesterday and today.

BBL
Jean
 
Good Morning,

I think the forum site was down.

Carolyn, I hope DH appointment goes well today.

Today I did a 5 mile walk. It felt good.

Jean, how is your dog?

Marie, Love the picture.

Cathe is amazing with her weights. Jean, 15LB is fantastic!

BBL
 
OMG, last evening the site either crashed or had some maintenance going. I was getting into the oddest places at some points with our usual forum address. I checked for hours too.

Carolyn, I pictured Colleen walking outdoors too! Then I thought it was probably 5 am so you must have been on the treadmill, Colleen!
Monty Python seems like your humor, Car. Never seen it! Used to watch Benny Hill!
Get outside for that walk!

Jean, thanks for the 15 lb weight sisterhood!

I did an off-XT quickie: TTM fitness tabata, 16 mins. I do have some chest DOMS from yesterday so this wasn't a great idea since there were pushups in there!

Have my physical this aft. Mkts shortly.

Bbl
