STS first time!

Oh geez, Carolyn, I went and read the Open Discussion on Ultimate Yogi. So tempting! I looked at Collage, Amazon, and his site. So very tempting! I don't have time to do yoga!

jean, so glad you enjoyed Downton. Isn't that estate gorgeous?? The people are so civil. I absolutely love the way they speak!
 
Good Evening. I have been super busy today!

I got up and went to the stadium...I walked a half mile for warm up...then I alternated... 1 lap running (.25 mile) then ran the bletchers up and down 5 sections... then repeated. Did this 4 times...than we walked a mile a chatted. It was intense. We were huffing and puffing! We did have fun though. We are planning on doing it again next weekend! :)

Then I came home and cooked/ prepared food all afternoon. Then went and got hay, stacked hay in barn...and now I am heading in for a Cathe workout!

Just wanted to check in quickly!

Betty---Sorry for your loss.

Be back! Cathe is waiting..... :p
 
Hello! Back from Hartford because I have to work tomorrow, DH took my place as tournament is still going on. Daughter's team did well yesterday but faced some tough teams today and didn't do as well. She has a great team though.

Did Xtrain Legs when I got home - standing, ball, and floor. I feel like every muscle got worked!

I got Ultimate Yogi as a Christmas gift. It includes a 90 day rotation which I started but then got Xtrain so stopped the UY. UY is a great program! I have done live yoga classes, and these dvds were the closest to a live class I have seen. I think I did 3 or 4 of the dvds, and they were all great, and some were tough. I would say they fall into the total body strength workout type, and I want to get back to them but haven't figured out how to work them into XTrain. I also read good things about Travis Elliot's shorter set, so if you are not sure about yoga you might want to start with that.

Jean, glad you are enjoying Downton Abbey. I love the series and am looking forward to tonight.
 
Carolyn, you didn't put me on the spot at all! And I've always been kind of private.:eek:
I am not watching the game, since the fans are superstitious and I don't want to alter what I usually do when a game's on--on the computer:D.
I wouldn't dare skate outdoors on a body of frozen water:eek:! Rink is it for me.
Did you get Foundations from Amazon? Omg, I am all fired up about UY!
I must say that I've never achieved the in-the-moment mysticality and breathing of yoga:eek:. Maybe my mind is too cluttered with things to do.
Tell me how you like it when you get it!

Mary, that's so awesome you have the UY set. I'm am so coveting it now! I too would find it hard to fit it in! Travis Eliot is so young! I must Google him!
I read in the site about Yin Yoga that it increases hyaluronic acid. I'm all for it.
Thanks for such a great review. Question: How does his quality compare with Cathe's? You know how she crosses all the Ts and dots all the Is with her workouts?

Missy, that workout you did sounds tough. And chores! You don't need to hit Cathe tonight!
I certainly could find time for yoga if you can achieve so many things in one day. You are a taz. No, not a spaz!

Jean, check Netflix streaming for the other episodes. I can get season 1 & 2 from streaming, or at least I did at one point because I had to re-watch the Pamuk episode, which you just watched, right? (I don't get the dvds.)

Colleen, hope that stuffiness isn't anything.

Hi Marie! Saw your Ultimate Yogi thread! Our ColleenK would have the set!:D

Hope Becky and her family are doing well.
 
Betty and Mary I started recording season 3 tonight. I am getting 3 episodes this week. Do you know when season 3 started?
I am not sure about streaming. I only pay netflix to have one dvd at a time. I am "thrifty".
I don't know what the "Pamuk" episode is. The last thing I saw they put the lady of the board of directors at the hospital after she helped save that mans life. The old lady is not happy about it.

Missy I wish I had someone to run the bleachers with. It sounds like you had a great w/o. Lucky you. You sure have been busy this weekend. You wouldn't know how to act if you had my life.

Carolyn I guess when you live in a cold area , you do cold activities. I would love to ice fish.

Jean
 
Betty- So sorry for your loss! Yes Colleen was the start of that enabling for me lol! She's good like that ;)

Carolyn- So glad you ordered yoga. Hope it helps you sleep better. I really think I am going to order the whole set. I love me some good yoga. I like Cathe's but I'm even looking for more challenge.

Mary- Nice job on legs :) Looking forward to discussing UY with you when I order it.

Missy- Way to rock those bleachers. Wish we lived closer, I would have joined you!

Jean- Nice workout today. Core #1 is killer. Love it! Yup our weather is insane. It's supposed to be negative 22 tomorrow. Honestly where do I live?! I won't be leaving the house except for to drive to work. Hate being cold!

The party was good. Dinner was amazing. Filet mignon, chicken, potatoes and asparagus. The awards ceremony was boring but it was probably because I didn't know any of the people that won. We took off shortly after that. I missed B a ton plus I needed to either feed or pump or my boobs would have exploded. It was fun to get all dressed up, do my hair and wear a dress. I'm glad I don't have to do it every day but a few times a year it's cool.

Today I was feeling lazy so I did CSS and core#1. My mom and stepdad came in town to hang out for the day. My mom is super crafty and did a few art projects with B.....footprints on a frame and handprints on another. Cute stuff! I didn't get that crafty gene ;)

Carolyn, I hope the better sleeping will work for you!!!!!!!! I don't like all that spirituality stuff either; I'm in for the toned bod & stretched muscles.:D

Marie, I was reading & searching VF on UY. At one point Deep Discount had it for 50% off! Right now it's $92 there. Still less than Amazon, his site, Collage. I'd bite the bullet at 50% off:D.
OMG, I would die with your weather!
That's so cool what your mom did!

Jean, I used to get the one dvd too. It includes the streaming too. You find the Netflix option on your tv. I'm not sure how it works for you but I use my tv remote to access it.
You must not have watched the episode with Mr Pamuk yet then. If it's not epi 2, then it must be 3.
 
Good morning ladies!!! Monday comes so quickly....but Im up and on the elliptical!

My workout yesyerday was amazing...I was telling Tim how I wish you girls lived here because I know we would always be doing tough workouts together...but at least we found each other on the forum!

When we bought a new tv a few weeks ago, we got the smart tv....so now I have instant access to netflix and huluplus...and more...it is amazing...i am trying to make time to squeeze so movies in! We actually cancelled diah network....we were paying close to $90 a month and were only watxhing a few channels...most of my shows were on reg tv. I did go buy an intenna at walmart and now I watch those channels for free. So now I subscribed to netflix and huluplus and we feel we have better selection than we ever had on satalite!!!

Busy day ahead of me at work! But that will make the day go by quickly!!!

Be back shortly....gotta shower and eat my breakfast!
 
Good morning, girls!!

Wow, I missed a lot of activity here yesterday.

I'm and too very intrigued by UY. I've been researching and reading up in it. I used to do a lot of yoga. It always felt so good. Manly power yoga. I'm not into the spiritual aspect either.

Yesterday was a relaxing day. Rest day for me. I am fighting a cold. Stuffy, congestion and run down. We took a nice drive and then took the kids out to lunch. Afterwards we watched old scobby doo episodes and played the Disney version of apples to apples.

Marie, the parts sounded great

Missy, awesome workout yesterday.

Carolyn, can't wait to hear how you like the foundations yoga. I am so close to ordering the whole set....

Jean, we don't have Netflix. We already spend so much on our cable. In sure it would probably be cheaper.

Betty, I hate heights as well I don't like roller coasters or rides. Neither does DH which is good for me, but bad for the kiddies. It's always a debate in who will take them in rides at the amusement parks. Luckily the ones we go to the rides aren't too bad...

Today's workout was ballet body. I'm doing that MWF and cardio on the other days.

Mary, have a good day at work today. I'm of for the holiday, but DH has to work.

The kids have dentist appointments today.
 
Colleen---It is much cheaper...I was paying $90 a month for Dish Network.....I am not paying $8.99 for Huluplus and $9.99 for Netflix! And Tim and I love it! :eek:

Today is Day3 of no scale...and I can feel it that I have gained....but I measured and my inches havent went up? I think it may be muscle...or just mental!!! This is tough....I relyed upon the scale to dictate what I could and could not do for the day...I am sure I will have many pounds to shed when I weigh again....Havent decided when that will be???? Was thinking 2 weeks? Not sure....alot of damage can be done it 2 weeks?????? I am a scale addict! No joke! I will get through this....just takes time...I am doing better than I did the last time.....so maybe this means I am healing! LOL
 
Missy, good for you on eliminating cable!!! I'm with you. You could use some of the money you save for fitness stuff and have lots left over!
Don't worry about weighing yourself. Do what you do every day and you'll be fine. You'll never be heavy again. You have everything in place. STEP. AWAY. FROM. SCALE.:D

After sleeping on it, I am still all worked up about UY!:D I'm not going to jump in and buy it, considering I exercise just a few times a week, and XTrain is still brand-spanking new! Heck, CF/TTM & LIS are still new to me!:D Now that I know I could have gotten it for 50% off, I want nothing less:eek:!
Colleen, I like power yoga too. Hope you feel better soon. Lots of warming green tea.

Carolyn, have fun with your family! That's a nice way to spend the holiday!

Since it's a school holiday, we slept a little later than I wanted. I finished up Tabatacise (another high impact workout:eek:), BS Back, and Core #2, for 57 mins. Yikes, those core workouts kill! I can't keep up! I despise crunches and situps!

Oh well, the Patriots lost. They played so well during the season; maybe they should have lost a game or two and won last night's and the Super Bowl! (I'm a fair-weather fan.)
 
Good Afternoon.....Tonight Biggest Loser is on!!! :eek:

I am on a tight schedule tonight! Home, dinner which consists of homemade chicken noodle soup (I made last night for tonight) I sampled it last night...oh so good!, then exercise, shower and TV @ 8 pm! Gonna be tight, but I can do it! I do better under pressure! LOL

My husband use to say...why do you schedule everything you do???? then yesterday he dictates the entire day on a time schedule....I laughed so hard...I about peed my pants!!! He said well honey..... you rubbed off on me...now I think it is not normal to not know what you are doing!!! hehehe :eek:

Tomorrow...is going to be a LONG day for me..... Gotta get up @ 5:30 to get my workout in....then be at work @ 7:30....work till 5 and head to another Dr office to help some more....I will be exhausted tomorrow night! Oh well....this Dr has agreed to pay me time and a half.... for all my time. I am okay with that. I want prescription sun glasses which will be around $400.... (I have really bad eyes)..... so this is my sunglass fund!!! I have already worked 2 1/2 hrs....another 2 hours tomorrow....it is adding up quickly! :D

Check in later....gotta do some coding! :D

Oh...before I go.... yes my scale addiction was out of control....this is a learning curve for me....so thanks for all of the tips....I will get through it. I actually do not feel as crazy....I know the number is probably higher just because this is new...but I feel over time...it will just maintain. :)
 
Hi Ladies!
This morning I did Burn Sets Bis and Tris. I had to double check the rotation because I just did this one on Friday and was surprised to do it again, but it was right. And it did burn again!

Ultimate Yogi is a fantastic set of yoga workouts. The production value is superb. One of the things I like about yoga is the mind-body connection - when I do it regularly, I really feel more in tuned to my body. I get that same feeling when doing these dvds. I tried Cathe's yoga dvds and actually I did not enjoy them that much, she is very serious and I don't get that same feeling. But that's just me, I know other people liked them. Also, I haven't done them in a while but the ones I did were a little over an hour.

Missy, I understand how hard it is to break a habit but I hope you can give yourself a break from the scale. You have done a fantastic job with your weight loss and workouts, don't ever forget that!

Betty, I do not watch the Patriots but tuned in a few times to see the score. There are some sad faces today.

Marie, it sounds like your transition back to work is going smoothly, so glad to hear it. I remember how hard it was to get back to work but once I got into the routine it was a little easier.

Hope everyone who has a holiday is enjoying it!
 
Me too. I just told DH that I want it for my birthday. I never clicked with cathe's yoga from LIS. I've tried a few time, but they seem to drag on for me. I watched the clips for UY again today.

I'm with you Carolyn, we spend way too much on cable and I love my DVR. DVR is a TV changer. Especially with kids. We hardly ever watch live TV anymore at least for sitcoms.

Definitely a cold I have. :-(. Bummer.
 
Carolyn, you're so funny!:D I did happen to read the hair dryer post! I don't want one! I do, however, WANT Ultimate Yogi!:eek::eek: I've never felt like I could do the odd random yoga dvds I have weekly, and same as some, don't really think Cathe's yoga workouts are that great.
Stinks that you might have to reschedule the audiologist. At my physical a couple of weeks ago, I was given an audio test. Not knowing what to expect I missed a couple of the most faintest sounds ever on one ear.

Bummer, Colleen, about that cold!:( Here's a Yahoo link on superfoods that fight colds: Superfoods That Fight Colds | Yahoo! Health
Or how to stop a cold in its tracks: Stop a Cold in Its Tracks - Health.com

I totally agree about DVRs! Love them! You can buy a high def one from Amazon.

Mary, that's odd that the workout is up again so soon after you just did it. I wouldn't quite like that. Your UY review is so enabling:eek:!
I'm like Carolyn and loathe football, but had to keep track of our beloved Patriots in last night's game. I feel the Ravens wanted revenge for last year and that was ultimately the stronger force.

Oh yeah, my Asics really saved me knees today! Feeling the footbed under me is so reassuring! Not to mention comfy.

Missy, nice job earning extra $$$ and helping that doc out.
If we lived closer, you could rub off some of your energy on me!

Jean, haven't heard you mention going to your mom's in a while.

We are creeping up on 5000 posts on this thread.:cool: Do you think they'll kick us out?? We must definitely be setting a record!
 
Morning ladies...i got up at 5:30....and have been burning serious calories since...i am drenched in sweat and still have 8 minutes to go....i feel in control this morning....i got up and got an hour of exercise this morning..and oh it feels so good!!!

Off to shower and get ready to leave...must leave by 7am... today is my super long day...and my workout has me feeling energized and ready to take on the day!!!

Check in later....have a lovely tuesday!!!
 
Yay, Carolyn! We got a dusting as well, less than last week's! Good luck at DD's appt!
Any results on DH? It was a holiday yesterday, so they probably didn't work.

How much snow, Mary?

Dreading the bitter cold this week!:eek:

Anyone else tethered to our thread??? I only check a dozen times a day!:eek:
 
I was just going to ask if you got snow or not, Carolyn. Glad you didn't get any an dd can make her appt. we got a dusting here a well.

My son has been seen several times by an audiologist. He has had three sets of ear tubes because he gets so many ear infection. Luckily his hearing has not been damaged. Good luck today.

Thanks for the links Betty. On Saturday I made turkey vegetable soup and Sunday I made chili. Last night we had leftover soup. I've definitely been craving warm foods to eat an have been drinking a ton.
 
Great job on the cardio this morning missy. Good luck with your long day.

This am my alarm went off DH asked if I was getting up to workout. I said yes. He said is that wise if you are not feeling well, you need to let your body rest. So I went back to bed but could sleep. To wrestles, could breath and wasn't tired anymore. So long story short. I did a 50 min spinervals workout this am. Felt great, but took it easy. I did 16 mile. Now I'm tired, but glad I did some easy cardio in.

Back to work today.

The dentist appointments went fine yesterday. DD has to go to the orthodontist. We knew it was only a matter of time...
 
Good Afternnon Ladies. Yesterday I woke up at 4:40 am and was tired . Then my sister called me at 7:30 am to tell me my Mother is back in the hospital. She got up at 4 am to go to the bathroom and felt like she couldn't breathe very good so my sister called the ambulance. The doctor said AFIB was the problem. She stood up at the hospital yesterday and her heartbeat went up to 180. The Dr. said she can probably go home tomorrow. I am going to my sisters tomorrow and coming home on Sunday. I was supposed to go 2 weeks ago but my sister was having the guest room painted and drywall work in her house. Now my sister is afraid to leave my Mother home alone for any amount of time. I hope she doesn't have a nervous breakdown.
Todays w/o was Burn Sets Bis/Tris and Core 1. I am getting pretty good at core 1. My feet don't come off the ground as high and i am able to do the whole w/o without modifications. I am thrilled to have core after each w/o.
I am surprised everyone is so excited about UY. I can't wait to hear how you like it. I will have to go to the website and check it out.
TBL was good last night. I was dissapointed that my favorite went home.
My husband was working at a jewelry store yesterday and the owner gave him 2 pair of SS dragonfly earrings for me. That was nice. People are so thankful to have their phone service repaired.
Today it is cold , 27 degrees , breezy and sunny. The sun is so warm. No snow.

Missy Is all you have is netflix , hulu and an antennae? I wish my husband would go that route but he lives for his television.

Mary You must be on week 4. Good for you. I seem to work out 2 days , take a day off , then work out 3 days. I wish I could do more.

Carolyn I am glad to hear you didn't get snow. When you said 8 to 10 inches , that made me sick. I hope your daughters appt goes good today.

Colleen I hope your cold doesn't get too bad. I hate being sick and having to go to work.

Jean
