STS first time!

TGIF! What a week! My husband left on Sunday for a business trip and is supposed to get back late tonight, and one DD came down with a really bad sore throat which turned out to be strep. Hated to go to the dr. with her, they almost had a triage set up there to get to all the kids sick with the flu. So she was home from school most of the week but seems better today.

I am sticking with the 90 day rotation, but my butt has been sore since I started it. Seems like there are so many lower body workouts. My rear end better get nice and tight from all this!

Carolyn, I did Hard Strikes today and I think it is a bit hard on the knees. There is lots of jumping and some turning which could twist the knee if not careful.

Jean, I hope your dog continues to improve, that must be so worrying.

Betty, great job on doing all 5 tabatas, I have not done that one yet. I'll have to do that one on a weekend. Are you the one who watches Downton Abbey? I love that series.
 
Good Evening! OMG...the posts...I havent caught up...only have a quick minute.....Tim has flash burn....from welding....his eyes are healing....I am so relieved to hear everything is okay. He really liked the eye dr though. Thats good. He has perfect vision.... wish I had perfect vision...LOL

We then went to mexican for dinner....because he was a "BIG" boy and went to the dr...yes...I had to reward him!!! LOL

I have to move everything out of our 2nd bedroom, because we are putting wood floors in it tomorrow... excited! Then all of our home projects will be complete.YEAH!!!!:eek:

I will check back soon....and catch up! Thanks for all being concerned for my hubby! It is much appreciated! Love you girls!:D
 
Wow, active for a Friday afternoon and evening! Love it!

Missy and Jean, I'm all caught up on Big L. No, I watched it over 2 days. I stand a lot of it because I feel guilty.:confused: 2 hrs x2 episodes! Glad that Jillian is back--they had a spate of strange replacements, especially Anna Kournikova!:confused:

Wow, sounds like the chiros have a lot of equipment in their offices.

Missy, the flash burn gave him migraines?
Have fun on the flooring project!

Jean, I do like Ricky Gervais, and will look for the movie.

Mary, what a week you've had. Stress-ful! I am so panicked about the flu health emergency declared in MA. It's not us, it's catching it from others!!!:eek:!
Why am I not feeling the doms? It's because you ladies are hitting it daily!
I do love Downton Abbey. Can you believe I haven't watched Sunday's and am waiting for the dvd so I can use subtitles and pause to my heart's content?

I have yet to see SuperCuts or Hard Strikes. The tabatas definitely had a lot of jumps, twists, and turns, but not that you'll be doing that one soon, Carolyn. For sure that one is bad for anyone's knees.
I waffled a couple of times between the two premixes with 3 vs. 5 tabatas to the point my menu screen froze on me:confused:. Hope that doesn't recur, else I'll have to contact customer service.

Have a nice night!
 
Flash burns actually burn the eyes...like a sunburn...then the eye has to heal...which can cause the headaches....

So while eating dinner...tim said...you know it wasnt bad...i said...i told you....drs arnt bad...they help...

But getting him to a health dr....we can forget that....he is a germ phobe...

Be back in a minute!!
 
Today I did Low Impact Hiit plus core #1. I was feeling really good so I added on the 100 rep scarecrow challenge. My shoulders burned at the time but seem fine now. I really like having the core workouts on multiple disks, I am more inclined to do them when they are there instead of having to pop in a separate disk.

Jean, I do take a rest day, usually during the week when I have less time. I don't know how I got ahead of you but it all works out in the end! I am glad Bentley is doing better.

Missy, flash burn sounds painful, I am glad Tim went to the dr. and is feeling better.

Gloomy day here, I feel like taking a nap. We are going out tonight to see Lincoln, supposed to be good.
 
Another rest day for me today. I'm not feeling well. I never get sick so I'm super bummed. Tony even called in sick today. Just hanging low and drinking lots of water. I hate feeling like this. Workout for me today everyone!
 
Good evening....today I have been busy....pedi...then got home...prepared lunch..ate...then have been working on floor...now we are at the race track....didnt get to do my afternoon workout... :(

Tomorrow I will have to make up for it!!! I will be super busy tomorrow too...gotta finish the fl9r, do laundry, workout, run to radio shack. Busy busy....

Marie...I hope you and Tony feel better.

Carolyn--i would have cx too...$40 copay just to give him a piece of mind...he wins in that situation.

Be back!!
 
Hi all,

Not much going on. Went to my little niece's bday party today. Ate not super healthy food.

Marie, I feel for you. Hope your exercise endorphins beat up whatever it is! Feel better soon!

Mary, I so agree with you about the core workouts being so accessible now! Love it!
Hope you're having a relaxing day!
Low Impact HiiT is great!

Ugh, huge football weekend:confused:. Back-to-back games both days:(.

Have a nice night!
 
Good morning ladies!!! I didnt get to do my evening workout yestrday :(.... so today...i am killing it!!! Doing morning cardio right now!!!

Betty- I love low impact hiit to!!! I can really say Im loving all the xtrain workouts...i think this is one of Cathes best series!!!

Today I am on a tight schedule to get everything done....hopefully if I stick to schddule...I will have few hours tonight to rest!!! Hehehe

Check back later!!!
 
Betty and Jean, I am impressed with both of you for doing all 5 tabatas at once! I haven't tried that one yet.

Today was Cardio Leg blast again. It seems like my legs are always sore lately. I tried to add on the glute thrusts at the end but only made it to 25 and gave up - my legs and glute were spent. I'll try that one another time, it seems really effective.

Marie sorry you are sick,hope you can get some rest and get better.

My kids got the flu shot but I never did. I went over to cvs today to get it, and they were all out and told me the other local stores were all out as well. Oh well.

I really liked Lincoln, although sometimes I felt like I was watching PBS (I watch alot of those Ken Burns series). Daniel Day-Louis was really good in this role, he brought the character alive and even though I knew how it would end it was still sad!
 
Carolyn, I hear you on football!:confused: The volume is stinking loud and screaming too!:mad:
When DH watches football, you should catch up on Downton or some recorded stuff. Big L?
When I used to fill in for DS2 and walk the neighbor's dog, while picking poop up with a bag, I would gag and gag. Pretty pathetic, huh? That's a disgusting visual of your front yard!:eek:
That's too bad Cathe doesn't count on the hovers in Ride. I found myself lost recently in a new workout because she didn't count--oh well; I'll get used to it.
Nice you slept so late! I got up even later!:confused:

Jean, that was a great movie with Morgan! So sweet and charming. Shawshank is so awesome!
I didn't pause on the tabatas except maybe to get water. I try not to jump as high as Cathe to preserve my knees, so then my HR is prob not nearly as high. If I am the bomb, it's all due to Cathe's older workouts! I have improved so much! Pat yourself on the back for completing it! It's very tough!

Mild here too, misty and foggy. Should have taken a walk, but too busy with my mountain-high stack of mail! Better get back to it!
 
Good evening friends... busy busy...is all I can say...they floor is complwte...house is clean...laundry done...lunches made for tomorrow....dinner cooked and eaten...i roasted a chicken and made corn and a bowl of cottage cheese with pineapples. Yum yum!!! But within all of the craziness...i managed to eat all freakin day....oink oink.....carolyn we must be on the same schedule.
.hehehehe

Now onto my workout...gotta burn off some of the bad calories....i know the scale will go up tomorrow....i will be working my ass off this week to make up for the weekend gains!!!

Be back in a few....

As for the poop...i understand...thankfully...we are on 8 acres...and Summer poops in the woods...
 
Jean--- i increase my cardio endurance by...increasing resiatance on my elliptical amd increasing time....i find this has really helped with my Cathe wotkouts!!! Try it...it may help....
 
Feeling better today :) I did get a flu shot. I usually don't but I figured with Breckin now here that it's a good idea. Tony gave the overnight bottles last night so I got to sleep 7 hours straight. Felt so nice! I was so engorged when I woke up though.....pumped 10oz!

Finally did disc 5 today. That was supposed to be on Fri but oh well. I'm back in track now to do disc 6 tomorrow.

Laid back day with my boys.
 
Carolyn--- glad to hear your week is planned...my week consists of lots of workouts...the scale is up and I have several pds to work off!!! So glad you knee is letting you spin...so happy to hear it!!

Its monday...again....up and getting ready for work!!!

Check in later. Have a nice monday!
 
Good morning, everyone!

Today's workout calls for AOLIH, again!:confused: In fact, in perusing the 4 wks of the rotation, the same few workouts are used. Not once is Super Cuts selected, so I'm subbing that today.

Have a great day!
 
Good Morning Ladies!!!

Sorry for MIA over the weekend. Saturday was super busy and yesterday was pretty much a relaxing day with the family and the day just got away from me.

Saturday I did a miss match of workouts to get some cardio in. Found my self playing a bunch of warm ups to get about a 45 minute workout. Needed somthing gentle on my knee. I should of gone for a walk, but I didn't.

Sunday was a rest day and my TTTM started.

Today was Ballet Body again.

My son woke up with a cough today...

Carolyn, glad your knee is doing well. I hope cycle max works out for you today. What are you doing the rest of the week?

Betty, good luck with super cuts today

Marie, glad you are feeling better. Sounds like you are enjyoing your new workouts.

Missy, so awesome that you got your hardwood floors done. What type of floors did you get for you workout room? I'm trying to convince my hubby that I need them and it would be an awesome birthday present! :)

Jean, OMG that prescription dog food is so expensive. We don't have a choice and it's killer on the wallet.

BBL... Have a great monday.
