STS first time!

Hi Everyone. Today I did Cardio Leg Blast and Core 2. I really feel like I stink when I am done with that w/o. I don't even attempt the plank work in core 2. At my age , I am just happy being able to do the other stuff. :rolleyes:Tomorrow I do Burn Sets bis and tri and I have to remember to do the 100 rep challenge. I keep forgetting. I wonder if my thighs will hurt tommorow like they did last time.I am really enjoying this dvd set.
Thank God The vet didn't see any blockages in my dog. She took x-rays and kept him on fluids all day. When I brought him home ( with ID food) He just wanted to lay in his bed. He had a BM but didn't eat any dinner. This morning he has had a little food. He did run outside with his toy today so I know he is feeling better. He loves his toys. So I think he will be o.k. $500 later. :(

Carolyn Are the whole wheat rounds in the bread section of the grocery? Everytime you mention those , they sound good. I kept getting that success story last night also. I am glad we are up and running again. I agree that 2 pairs of ears are better at the Dr. ofc. I can't wait to hear what the surgeon says.

Betty They had a huge article about Downtown Abbey in the Parade section this week. I am thinking of recording season 3 and renting the 1st 2 seasons. It looks really good. I already spend too much time in front of the tele. When do you and your family watch Big L? It was good again last night. I can't wait to hear how you liked it.

Where is Missy today?

Jean
 
OMG, I was running around all day! Pray I didn't get any cold or flu germs at the doc's office!:confused: I was in there for 1.5 hrs that the germs must have landed all over me! I am so paranoid now!:eek::eek:

Jean, Netflix has Downton Abbey, I believe both seasons. You're all set.
We usually don't get to Big L till the weekend because don't want to watch 2 hrs on a school night! Sorry.

Carolyn, I had a sunflower butter sandwich after I read your post regarding your pb on wheat rounds. Sounds delish!
I can't believe DH didn't let you go with him! He needs all the support he can get because doctors talk fast, in medical terminology, and with rushing you out, you're liable to miss something!

Oh, and DS1 did disc 1 of XT today! I didn't even do that one yet!:D
 
Betty What is a Sunflower butter sandwich? I was just wondering when you watch. I think it is great you do it as a family. Is your son home from College? That is great he is still doing Cathe.

Wheres Missy?

Jean
 
Jean, I should clarify that it is sunflower seed butter; it is similar to almond or cashew or peanut butter.

Maybe Missy has flu season at work and is swamped. Today I keep hearing that it is very bad this year! I declined the shot today.:confused:
 
Yup, Betty was right no way I'm going outside to walk at 5 am!!

I am sooo hungry. I am waiting for ds to get home from ccd (DH just wrt to pick her up). I need food.
 
Good morning... I missed you girls...yes I was swamped yesterday....didnt leave office last night till 6...people everywhere....flu season os wide open...and I feel the same way germs....yuck!!! Just dont put fingers in mouth nose or ears...wash wash wash those hands!!! And you can never use to much anti bactrial...lol

Will catch up later...trying to get my cardio in!!!
 
Good Morning!

I love peanut butter! My favorite. For about a year or so until my stomach issues I would have 2 slices Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread toasted with PB for breakfast. YUMMY!!! I have found gluten free cinnamon raisin bread that is good too, but lately I’ve been haven oats with soy milk, cinnamon and bananas in the morning. To get my PB fix I usually will have it on a rice cake or corn cake in the afternoon for a snack. I found chocolate rice cakes that are SOOO GOOD with PB on top. I use the natural organic PB.

Today I did ballet body again. I purchased her ballet body periodization system, so I am going with that for now. I will mix in Cathe for cardio.

The Flu season is horrible this year. I just pray we don't get it. Lots and Lots of hand washing. I have my kids washing their hands so much they are getting raw and cracked, so now I have to make sure they are putting lotion on their hands as well.

OK, need to get some work done with AM. BBL.
 
Carolyn---Have fun with your friend....so the chiro sounds like he is a good one.....and that sounds like good news.

I am going to lunch with an old friend today....I normally dont do lunch out...but one time will not hurt.

Also....here is a good solution to the hand cracking....Gold Bond Ultimate Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer..............I buy this at the drug store and we keep it in the office...we use sanitizer like crazy...so this helps! :eek:
 
Carolyn! Your chiropractor sounds fantastic!! What are the next steps with him? So glad that you didn't go through the surgery for nothing. What a difference the right doctor makes.

Have fun shopping. Don't stress you need time to yourself too...
 
Hi Ladies. Today I did Burn Sets Bi's and Tri's and Core 1. Then I did the 100 rep challenge for Tri's. I only used 3 lbs weights :eek: and did 3 sets of 30 and a set of 10. That was fun. My arms are very tired. No DOMS today from yesterdays leg/cardio w/o. :( My poor dog hasn't eaten all day. He seemed to be improving yesterday. He just looks sad and is laying around. No throw up though. I will call the vet tomorrow if he isn't better.

Missy I'm glad you're back. I am going to check out that lotion. My sister would probably like it. She is always washing her hands and always has sanitary wipes on her person.

Carolyn The Chiro seems likes everything is going the way it is supposed to. That is fantastic. I think knees and backs are hard things to get fixed. My husband had knee surgery when he was about 20 and he still has pain. Enjoy shopping with your friend. Good Luck to your husband.

Flu season is a big topic on the news. Hospitals are setting up tents to treat all of the people coming in for the flu. I got my shot. :D I don't understand how Dr's treat all these sick people and stay well. :confused:

Betty I pictured you spreading butter on a piece of bread and sprinkling sunflower seeds on it.

I hope they get the w/o manager fixed today. I miss posting my w/o's.

Jean
 
I was so busy yesterday I didn't have time to check in. Play date with a friend and then another girlfriend came to my place after that. I did DM yesterday. What a sweatfest! Loved it!

Today was disc 5 and then the 25min step portion from BM2. Play date today with another friend :)

Betty- The only tv we have is in the basement for my working out. It's unfinished and definitely not cozy to hang out in. Glad to hear BL is on Hulu. I'll be watching it in there. Thanks for me mentioning that Missy! Have fun with your friend at lunch.

Jean- Your poor dog. I'm so sorry! Fingers crossed he feels better soon poor little guy :(

Carolyn- Have fun with your friend. Did you get your workout in?

Colleen- I'll have to look into those ballet workout. Love those type!

Alright I better get moving....

Have a good day everyone :)
 
Hey everyone,

Missy, thanks so much for telling us about the Gold Bond! Love the combo of sanitizer and lotion!!! Perfect for germophobes! Going to get me one.
DS2 doesn't wash his hands at school and says hand sanitizer dries them out:eek::mad:. Not that he'd take a bottle of lotion in to school.

Carolyn, your chiro appt sounded great! That is exactly the feedback to hear! I hope you feel better about your surgery. I certainly do. What did you mean about dh and today's appt? I thought it was perfectly reasonable. (My DH does not believe in chiropractors, and would not ever let one near him.)
I hope you have fun at Burlington Mall and buy lots of fitness stuff to go with XT. Don't feel guilty for the you time. Going out with a girlfriend and shopping is like chicken soup for the soul!;)
At TJM today (a return at Marshalls and this was across the street), I found a pair of short-shorts in a color I don't have. (Has anyone noticed the Nike black short-shorts that Amanda and Marlo are wearing in Legs? That's the kind I love!)
Have you previewed or tried Legs? Many parts seem doable for you, since it sounds like some of the exercises in PT.

This morning I did Legs Premix 1 with Rear Delts. I absolutely loved it! Who would think I would love a legs workout, but there weren't the loathsome traditional squats and lunges, nor plyo! I wonder if I'll feel doms tomorrow. My legs were burning at the time but nothing now.
Cathe's pink-soled sneakers were cute. Have never seen her in a braid either.
Does anyone have CTX? Is XT very similar, like Cathe promised?
Do any of you need the workout log? Someone posted a chart to use with XT. I will come back and post it, since my link seems to be lost at the moment.
Here it is, on this page: http://cathe.com/forum/f115/xtrain-workout-cards-snm-291770/index2.html

Jean, is WM still out of commission?

Marie---I am so excited you finally got them!!!!

Tim is not feally good again....he is in the bed again. He is battleing massive headaches/migranes....so he has agreed to go to the eye dr. I made him an appt for Friday. So we will see....I will take him and I will keep you updated. I told him, that is how I found out I needed glasses.....the headaches. So maybe with age, he eyes are changing???? I am just happy he has finally agreed to go to the dr!

Okay....off to workout!!! Be back, my friends!:eek:
 
Carolyn, too bad no luck at the mall!:(
You've been coming to your senses quite a bit recently! I've only been to two MA REIs, and not Reading. Just went to two last week but I'm waiting for the super clearance:eek:! I never need anything so why pay only a little bit reduced??
I don't get the attraction to Lululemon. It's cute, but not that cute!
I ordered a pair of Asics gel last night from Amazon, my regular size. Hope they fit. The newer Rykas are too lame for high impact.:confused:
I better stop this buying of fitness clothes!
Sleep well, all!

Good morning ladies!!! I am up and on elliptical!!! My usual...

I won a cute nike skirt on ebay last night for $6.52....hehehe I also won a cute nike tank....for $5.50....i am on a roll!!! I too am addicted to fitness clothes....but the good thinf is...I have been listing all my old fitness clothes that are too big...and it is all gone...so it is really like trading....oh....the wonderful world of ebay!!! I receive my capris I scored last week...oh they are too cute!!!

Off to shower and head to work!!! Check in later!!!

Carolyn----where did this self control come from? If you dont have shopping sprees you wont have reasons to go to tj and return...which leads to shopping...lol
 
Good morning ladies!!

I don't get lulumon either. Way too expensive.

Carolyn, so I went with your advise and I made an appointment with a chiropractor today. I'll let you what she says. I have noticed over the last week my right hip pop all the time and that is the same knee that is hurting. Im skeptical and excited at the same time.

Rest day for me today. I went 8 straight data without a rest day so I think I'm due.

Betty, what kind of asics? I love asics. It's all that I wear. I've tried cross trainers in the past but I always go back to my Asics Kayanos. Love them they are so with the price.

Marie, I am so excited you got xTrain!!

Jean, how's your dog?

Good morning! Eating my oatmeal. Going out soon for a long overdue haircut!

Missy, I hope Tim gets diagnosed. It's pretty scary, what he's going through. Same with Scott, Carolyn. Good health vibes to them both.

Colleen, lately as I'm jumping around in my very old Rykas (I hardly wear the newer pair since they don't have much support), I keep thinking I should look in Amazon to see what they carry for gel shoes. I came across the UpTempo. I like that there is rearfoot and forefoot shock absorption. And the price wasn't too ridiculous. And free returns.
As you may have noticed, most sneakers sold in stores are for running!:confused:
You are definitely due a rest day!

Missy, I am drooling with envy at your ebay Nike scores, especially the skirt! What a steal!

Jean, hope your dog is all right.

Marie, enjoy XT today! It is so amazing! All of 2 workouts that I've done so far!

Becky, Mary, how are you?

No doms for me today:confused:. Oh well.

bbl.
