STS first time!

haha that was too funny. Yes, autocorrect. I posted from my phone this morning.

Yes, a "fat" day indeed with taking a rest day today. The cupcake I had last night helps with that as well!

Missy, Forgot to say good luck to Tim. It would make sense that maybe he might need glasses. I hope he is OK.

BBL
 
I was leaving home this morning, pulling out of the driveways and there was 2 dogs in the road...they were somebody that live on our road...yes, it makes me so mad....when people just let there animals roam.... Then because of that...I got stopped by the train on the way to work....:mad: But I made it....sitting at my desk now!

Betty---thanks for thinking of my Tim. I hope we get some answers tomorrow.

Colleen---I read that too...fat day...too funny. I know when I post on my phone....there are typos....the funny thing is if you read it...normally you dont even pick up on the errors. Enjoy rest day!!! You deserve it!

Dont forget about ebay....I love love love it! :eek:
 
Hello ladies!

I wanted to pop in for a quick hello! It's been so long! I have been loving XTrain so far. Just did Bi's and Tris burn sets this morning along with the scarecrow challenge. I'm having a tough time fitting in my beloved HC, but I decided to alternate weeks of HC with the Chest, Shoulders and Back disc so that I'm at least getting one in every other week.

I hope everyone is doing well! I skimmed the last two pages but I'm so out of the loop now. :eek: Missy- it sounds like Tim is having some headaches? Hopefully he can figure it out soon!

I'll try to pop in once in awhile at least. I've become a check in junkie, though. :eek: I have the one with Mini-Natty on here and 2 other ones on VF. It's getting a little ridiculous. LOL

Have a great day everyone!
 
Colleen---It is so nice to hear from you. :D I love Xtrain myself.... but I know it hard to fit in other workouts..... tough....choosing what to do!!! hehehe :)
 
Hi Everyone. No w/o today. My dog (Bentley) still hasn't eaten. I spoke with the vet this morning and she wanted to do MORE x-rays. I told her I wanted some medicine. I have been going to this vet for approx 20 years and she knows I have a zillion pets and limited funds. She said she would give him a Cerena injection which is for vomiting and some Sucralfate pills which coat the stomach lining. She also gave him some fluids and a b12 shot ( which she didn't charge me for). So 6 hours later he still shows no interest in food. I can't tell you how many cans I have opened and dry foods I have offered him. He didn't even want a Pupperoni. This dog is sick. So I guess we will be back tomorrow for more x-rays. My nerves are shot.

Carolyn I bought some of those rounds at the store today. I ate one and they are good. They are so thin. I toasted it and put peanut butter on it.

I have a pair of Asics that I wear for the ellip and treadmill. I usually wear Ryka.

It sounds like you ladies have an enormous amount of exercise clothes.

Marie I am glad you finally got Xtrain. You will love it.

Jean
 
Good Afternoon....

Carolyn---Tim's appt is tomorrow.

Jean---I hope everything is okay with Bentley. I understand...I think a sick animal is worse than a child...because they cant tell you want is wrong. I get so scared....when one of my kids gets sick...I freak...thank goodness my husband is better at stopping, and taking control. because if I went to the vet everytime I thought something was wrong....well...I would be broke!:D Keep us posted. Just snuggle with him, and he will know he is loved! Hugs for sweet Bentley!:)

Off to grocery store when I leave work @ 5.....
 
Carolyn, I wonder if we have the same pair of sneakers:D! Now that you mention it, I might have seen it in one of your pics! Is it the turquoise/charcoal one?? That's the one I got. I looked at the reviews on your site and they're indicating order a half size up, which totally contradicts the other reviews I read!:confused: I hope it's not too small! Will keep you posted. It will arrive next week.
Your PT guy sounds like the type of person I would be great friends with as well! DH is just jealous.:D
Glad you did some more of Legs. It's nothing like I expected--the jumpy stuff. Hey, I don't think the premix I did yesterday contained barre! Nope. It definitely didn't!
Like with all her workout series, I think I will never get to know or see all the variations the XT discs have to offer! Sooo many possibilities!
Would you believe I haven't worn any of my new fitness stuff yet?? Tomorrow!

ColleenK, so great to hear from you! We miss your analysis of workouts! Do pop back in! How's the weather in WI? We have been having a mild week, thankfully. Might hit upper 50s on Sunday!

ColleenD, I saw your Freudian slip, fat day!:D
Don't worry about the cupcake. It's your reward for eating so well and working out so well.

Jean, I'm sorry for what you're experiencing with Bentley. Your exercise helps deal with the stress and worry. Lots of cuddling is in order... Is this your senior dog?

DS1 did XT disc 2!:D I haven't even done that yet!
I wonder if I'll ever crack open STS again!:eek: I'm not sure I will... Is that sacrilegious??
 
Hey all!

Checking in from a hotel. We are staying at a St Paul hotel. We decided to do a little getaway for B's soon-to-be 3 month bday. We weighed him today and he is up to 13lbs.....growing so fast!

I did Low Max today and really liked it. It sure works the legs :) Hoping for some DOMS tomorrow. I also did the core and butt bonuses from B and G.

I'm thinking tomorrow will be a rest day.

Betty- Nice job on legs! I interested to try that one especially knowing there is no squats, lunges or plyo.

Missy- Thinking of Tim and hoping all is well. Sounds like a glasses issue. Nice scores on eBay :)

Carolyn- Enjoy your new pants. I feel the same about Lululemon....so expensive! I went there the other day to buy some leggings...not for working out but for everyday wear and they were 82 dollars. Unreal! I can't believe I even bought them but I have worn them every day since so I'm thinking I'll get lots of use out of them. First and probably last purchase from there.

Colleen- Sounds like a well deserved rest day.

Jean- Thinkng of you and your dog! So hard to see someone you love sick :(
 
Good morning! Its friday, its friday, omg...its friday!!! So excited....it has been a long week! I havw my anual gyn exam today @ 10:50....oh boy!!! Other than that....just lots of work at the office. I am leaving work at 3:45...so I can come home and pixk Tim up to take to eye dr.....i really hope we get some answers for his headaches. Yesterday....he was fine....but he is still going.

Marie- hope you had fun at the 3 month bday celebration!! Sounds like tony is an amazing husbamdand dad!!! We are all blessed with our families!!!

Carolyn- spin today and let us know how it goes...or walk with your friend. Cardio is cardio.....i just love cardio....i am a cardio junkie! Just love it!!!

Sure wish all of us lived in the same town....we would have a blast!!!

Okay....off to shower! Bbl!
 
Good Morning Ladies and Happy Friday!!

I had the chiropractor appointment yesterday. It went really well. One left leg is shorter than the right, casing my sacrum to be off balance and thus my right knee turning in and causing the pain and inflammation. Yesterday she did a very gentle alignment and stim on my right knee. She also did a foot scan and highly recommends orthotics for stability. I go back on Monday and she will check my alignment, do the stim on the knee again and then show we some exercises she wants me to do to strengthen my quads and hips. She also recommended lots of icing to help bring the inflammation down, only for 15-20 minutes at a time. So over all I feel really good about he visit.

Hi Colleen, glad you are enjoying xTrain and still getting in HC.

Missy, Good luck at your appointments today.

Caroyln, Good luck at PT today. Can’t wait to hear what the PT has to say. Don’t you go back to the chiropractor today? Did you DH hear back from the doctor?

Jean, I think I am due for new pair of sneakers. It’s been almost a year since I got my last pair and I usually like to get a new pair every 9 months. I am so sorry about Bentley, poor guy. Several years ago cuddles had the same problem (when we figured out she had pancriatias sp). She had to be on a IV for a week and now we has a very special diet from the Vet.

Betty, that’s so cool that your DS did xTrain Disk 2. How old are your boys?

Today I did more ballet body. It consisted of 5 segments, 2 lower body, 2 upper body and 1 core.

Marie, enjoy the St Paul hotel, I can’t believe B is almost 3 months already…

Hope everyone has a great day. BBL
 
Sitting in the waiting room at gyn....this is the most stressful part of the entire thing..the exam...piece of cake...waiting...okay...listening to all the trash in the waiting room...makes me angry...90% of them...dont work...i am paying for there kids...because the work the system....oh yeah...i said it!!! Bullshit!!!!

Today at the office....i have been at front desk...receptionist is sick....i lysol the entire area...before i touched anything....lol....other than that..its the life at a dr office....

Colleen---glad you liked the chiro
...hopefully she can help. I bought an ice pack at cvs awhile ago...its fzn pea like...lots of blue little pea size balls....they come in all sizes....maybe this would be helpful and or convinent.

Hope everyone has a lovely day.
 
Hey all, TGIF!

I finished up 70 mins of the premix Tabata 1-5, Burn Sets Back, Core #2. Has anyone done this disc yet? Whew, Tabata 1 was tough. I'm crazy to do all 5 too, because I knew my knees would feel shredded. I don't recall ever burning off over 600 calories!
I'm loving Burn Sets as it's added on to the premixes on the rotation; it's so controlled, not a lot of drawn out reps, and not long.

Carolyn, I didn't think your suggestion of wearing the same sneakers was hokey at all!:D. Except I only wear them indoors for working out!:D
DS1 finished a 3-month STS rotation in the summer but he's very sedentary at school, so whatever muscle tone he gained has to be reawakened:D! There's a really nice fitness/rec ctr at school, but do you think he uses it??

Missy, in a perfect world we would definitely all live near each other!
Good luck at yours and Tim's appts. I hate the exam part!
We're on the same rotation: have you done the same premix I did today?

ColleenD, your chiro appt was so enlightening! Now you're getting somewhere!
My boys are 19 and 13.

Marie, how nice you're celebrating. Hope you had a great time!
Way to go trying out those new dvds!
Around here, many people seem to wear Lululemon out and about too, like a badge. I should wear more fitness clothes out, but I rarely do.

Speaking of which, the short-shorts I bought the other day are in the same ?aqua color as is on the charcoal/aqua outfits on Burn Sets Back. Love the shorts--wore them today!

Jean, I hope Bentley is all right.
Finishing up Fifty Shades Freed today to return tomorrow. Just getting to the suspense part at the end regarding Hyde/Mia. Dumb books. I can't get over that she wrote with the limited language of an uneducated lovesick teenager with those insipid juvenile swears, and the publishers allowed it!:mad:
 
Rest day for me today. I usually get up after the 6am feeding but decided to go back to bed. Felt nice considering I stayed up late last night with Tony. He's a night owl. Missy....That would be so sweet if we all lived in the same town! Ugh....OB...hate those! Good luck with Tim's appt tonight. Colleen....Glad to hear you got some answers. I bet those orthotics will work like a charm. Betty....Hello workout! You ROCKED it today chica :) Way to go! Jean....So happy to hear Bentley is feeling better. Well I better get moving. We got a late checkout but I have yet to shower. Lazy morning. Love my lil family :)
 
Carolyn- I got a surprise at my door when I got home. Thanks so much. I really like them both. They will go to good use. Thank you!
 
Wow, Betty what a workout today.

Missy, hope your appointments went well.

Jean, I'm glad Bentley is doing better today.

Carolyn, I don't know on super cuts. I think super cuts is what caused me knee to act up again. Maybe preview it and use your best judgement? Or ask you PT?
 
Not yet. I'm also trying to hold off on intense cardio right now. Tomorrow is cardio for me and I have no clue what to do.

Did you do ride today?
 
I missed that is your check in earlier. Sorry.

She did and realignment to it. Sorry i cant explain more but i was in information overload.

She did a scan of my feet with a machine that you stand on. It records the biometrics of your feet to analyze your foot structure. I was able to see a heat mat of my arches an were I apply pressure to my feet. Pretty cool.
