STS first time!

Good Afternoon....I just realized I have been working???? and not checked in this afternoon!

Betty---are you serious about the lubrication...if not...that was good! hahaha

Gotta change my clothes and go to bootcamp....I am already sore...OMG...I may not be able to get up in the morning!

Friday I am off....I have the horse vet coming to do 6 month vaccines! I am hoping I have time to go pick Tim up and take him to lunch...it will be my last chance before he transfers to Valdosta! They are trying to get the store ready to open within a week or so....crunch time for him! He will be overthere all day thursday....so hopefully he will be avail friday! Fingers crossed.....

Off to change and head to bootcamp! Be back! :eek:
 
Not much to read today. Everyone must be busy.

B took a super long nap today so I did legs and Step Moves. It's the last week of Meso 2. I'm excited for active recovery week.

I worked this evening but got off early. We had 4 nurses scheduled instead of the regular 3. We all had to do some IV pump education so I covered patients when each person took their turn.

Today was our anniversary. 9 wonderful years :) We both worked though so we will be celebrating tomorrow.

So Tony's fast....

He is doing it for weight loss and to become healthier. Before this he didn't eat very healthy and is hoping this will jump start a better diet. He has stomach issues too and so far hasn't had any since doing this. He's on day 5. He feels real good. He said is mind is clearer and he has more energy. He does still drink a little coffee but other than that it's all juice. I'm so proud. God only knows I could never do it! The juicer is a Breville. 200 bucks at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Crazy but worth it for the health benefits.

Jean- It's funny people always say how big MOA is or are just in awe. It's the mall we always go to so I think I'm just used to it or something. It is a great place. Has an amusement park in the middle. If you need anything, go there. Guaranteed they'll have it :)

Tired mama! I'm off to bed!
 
Good morning friends!

Okay...i rocked bootcamp last night
..but I am my worst enemy...i am so competitive...always want to do nest! Lol...i got up from doing a exercise and my left knee was so tight??? Luckily it we only had crunches left....so I came home and showered and rested...i did not sleep very well...had to get ip and take advil. This morning...its nog as tight but sore.

So tim keep saying in the middle of night....you are pushing yourself too much....you need to rest....if you dont be careful you going to end up with an bad injury....and then you will not be able to run...likw you friend...(carolyn) so...i am going to rest....my knee is not as bad today...bur not sure what happened. Its the back of my knee....supper tight and sore???

What your opion carolyn? Or anyone....is that the twndon? Muscle? Better do my research!

Off to get ready for work!

No cardio this morning... this is bad....i dont do well wothout my cardio!
 
Just reread my post...sorry for all the typos...i was on my phone!

Sitting in recliner resting...have about a half hour till I have to leave and go to work!

Have a fantastic thursday!
 
Good morning! Eating my steel cut oatmeal with papaya, sesame seeds, chia seeds, goji berries, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon.:D
Last night I did Foundations 3. Didn't even break a sweat. Decided I need a rest (or my butt does) from spinning; the previous night I did 7.5 mi. I always look at the clock the entire time I'm spinning! Not fun.
I'm not sure about Travis. He talks a bit too much and his voice is nasally, and the facing them on the screen orientation confuses me. Yoga is not as fluid as I'd like because my body is not that flexible. The forward bend, camel, reverse tabletop, cobra, etc--the moves are not comfortable for my neck or hamstrings. Plus, I think I hate working out at night when it's so dark, even with bright lights; there's no sunshine. All that being said, I still want UY.:D I love the idea of yoga as a lifestyle, which is what it would have to be if I do 108 days of it. I've never done it enough to see the benefits you're supposed to experience. What does everyone think of the studio setting, music, the group, etc? Does anyone else get confused doing it mirror-image? Never have a problem with Cathe.

Missy, yesterday I went back to check that yes, you went to boot camp on Monday too. You're describing a pain similar to Carolyn's!:D Just take it easy.

Marie, on the fast, what's the plan Tony's following? How does he get his protein? My sister's cleanse is a week or 3 or something. 60 days seems so long.
Happy belated anniversary! For some reason I thought it was the 9th from your saying 9 years!:eek:

Marie---Happy Anniversery! Hope you and Tony have a lovely day!!!

I am resting today....and probably for a few days....if I dont my husband may kill me! LOL
 
Hello my friends.....well I am dragging my butt today....I need my morning cardio to get me going.....:D My body is dependant upon it!

I am also a little depressed...as I know I must rest my knee....I really want to exercise! But I know I can't!

I am hoping with rest my knee gets all better so I can get back to my intense workouts next week!:D

Hope everyone is having a nice thursday!

I am still pre-ordering tomorrow...it will make me feel better! ;)
 
Yay, some faint sun came out for a little while! I was getting a little glum with all this rain and clouds. Just came back from a walk. Supposed to hit high 40s but it sure doesn't feel like it will. Too chilly.

Carolyn, hope you're up in ski country making use of those snowshoes you stalked.:D

Colleen, Mary, wassup?

Missy, after a rest day or three, maybe you can just do one workout a day. Don't kill me, Tim! Enjoy your lunch with him tomorrow. Good luck at his new job/place!

Marie, enjoy your celebration!

Jean, no doubt you're spelling out your dream decor for the decorator.
 
Hi girls,


Sorry this week is just super busy. Next week hour be back to normal.

Today I took a walk. I did about 3 miles.

Need to get dinner ready. Bbl.
 
Im at home....sitting outside on deck with Mr Socks....he demands attention!!!

Waiting on Tim to get home....and boy is the temp dropping...

I am not sure what to do...as I always change into exercise clothes and workout....very strangle...not liking this one bit!

But Mr Socks is keeping me company!
 
Carolyn....upperbody sounds good...but I loved going to botcamp...i just got off phone with Tim..he is on his way home....i said I was resting so I can go back to bootcamp on monday...and he said I dont think so. You knee is hurting....i said but it will he better by monday....he said but that doesnt mean its healed.....i better listen to him....i am just in denial that I am limited.....

I know Tim suports all my fitness wants.....so he would never tell me no....if it wasnt neccessary.

Laying in chair under a heated throw....i was cold!

Tim will be home in 25 minutes and then we are going to applebees!!!!
 
Oh btw.....this knee i struggle with from time to time....never this bad though....

Should i consider some kind of knee support??? Do you think it would help while doing intense workouts?

Thanks
 
I am glowing......with excitement!!

I just pre-ordered!!!

Cathe has a link of facebook....to pre order early for fb fans!!!!!

Oh yeah!!!! I cant wait for the new dvds!! Hehehe
 
Good Morning!

I woke up feeling as if I had been hit by a truck so decided it was a rest day. But I can never go back to sleep after I wake up so here I am, but so tired! Jean, you're here early too!

I got my preorder in this morning, now I don't have to think about it.

I finished week 9 of the 90 day Xtrain rotatation. These workouts really seem to focus on the lower body, and I am surprised that I still get DOMS in my glutes. I hope I notice a difference when it is time to wear shorts.

Carolyn, how fun with the snowshoes, I hope yours work out. Do you have that much snow? We still have snow on ground but it was ruined by all the rain we got. Have fun on your trip north.

Missy, sorry about your knee. I know how hard it is for you to slow down, but your body is telling you it needs a rest. Try not to worry too much about taking some time off, and hopefully your knee will get better on its own. Your workouts will be there when you're ready!

Jean, how exciting about decorating the new house! What colors are you going with? Would love to see pictures too.

Betty, I read up on that OP, do you really keep the oil in your mouth for 20 minutes? It will be interesting to hear about improvements you see over time.

Marie, Happy Anniversary!

I've been so busy lately and I don't see it getting any better. I've signed up for a few college tours in the area with oldest DD on Saturdays. Most Sundays we have volleyball tournaments. This weekend we have to head to CT.

Oh and I don't ususally use my work gym, but I signed up for a yoga class, it's one day a week for 8 weeks, so I'm looking forward to that.

Ok, time to get going, TGIF and have a great day!
 
Good Morning.....I slept good last night! Tim and I went to applebees to keep my mind off of exercising! And yes, I need to slow down...per Tim. But, it is hard....I am so use to go go go...its hard. I have started to slow down this past month. I do 30 minutes on elliptical every morning...and at night I alternate a DVD or treadmill. And this week went to bootcamp on monday and wednesday. So, I am slowing down..... I use to do an hour on elliptical/treadmill every morning and 1 hr to 1 1/2 hr in the evening....so I am slowing down.....I just need to be careful.

I am thinking that I may do STS again....or maybe just do the upper body discs....and let my cardio and bootcamp maybe 1x a week do my lowerbody????:eek:

I am off today....gotta eat breakfast and get ready to go to the barn....horse chores! Then after the vet leaves (she will be here @ 9:30) I have to go grocery shopping!

Be back soon!;)
 
Jean---I bet your new house will be beautiful! How exciting to pick everything out! Enjoy this time!!!! ;)

Mary---I bet you will see results.... I pulled a pair of shorts out of the closet last weekend....and I had to put a belt on with them...and my legs looked good.... I do think its from the xtrain workouts! :eek: I told Tim, we were going to have to go short shopping in a month or so...when the temps are warm again....because all my shorts from last year are too big! Just love that!

Oh and the temps are dropping fast....its going back in the high 20's! So crazy, it was 75 lst saturday and I was in shorts....this saturday high in the low 50's and cold! Nasty!

Happy March! Hopefully some warm weather will be coming my way!:cool:
 
Good afternoon! I feel like I have ran a marathon this morning....been very busy...vet came and went, then i weng to publix and bought groceries, so now i can rest...

Watching y&r.....then going to clean house!

Be back when the afternoon chores are done!
 
Happy March, my friends!

This morning I did SuperCuts, the premix which omits the pushups/situps, +Core 2, + 100 RC Hip Thrusts. I ended up doing the SC stretch segment a second time after the hip thrusts. As some have said, Core 2 is killer. How does Cathe and crew push through those without stopping!? I can't. Ridiculous!

Jean, that's gorgeous. Keep those pics coming! How fabulous those guys came early and are working hard! Your dream house adventure is sure moving fast! (pun:D)
DH just now declared no more remodelings because he doesn't want the property taxes to go up!:confused: Great. Just great.
I guess I mean both the bike and my constant clock-watching. Doing the bike for 7 miles last night sure tires one out for the next day. I don't necessarily love the idea of working up such a sweat at night, but when I'm on, I feel compelled to, knowing I need to work up to CM and Ride. I may just ride at night to get a move on, but not aerobically so much. We'll have to see. DH rides with a T, long sleeve, vest, and jeans on! I ride with sports bra and short shorts and sweat like crazy.

Carolyn, I imagine you're zooming on snow somewhere up north. So glad for you guys to get away as a family!
Did DS get into the desired team?
Whaaaat? No UY! But but but.... You're my partner in holding out till rock-bottom!;)

Missy, I see your new avatar! Nice! Hope you're enjoying your day off. I agree with Carolyn. You're young so you can bounce back easily and can't feel the aches and pains from overtraining yet. But save yourself. What did you do with all that time before you started exercising at all?

Mary, I hear you about feeling hit by a truck. I don't know how you work full-time, have such busy active kids, and work out daily. High five. Take those rest days! Too bad you couldn't fall back asleep! I'd have no problem that early!;)
How exciting for the yoga class! You missed that from your old firm.
What schools are you going to tour?
Today's OP revelation:D--I definitely feel as if my knees are more cushioned. Couldn't comment on it yesterday since I didn't do cardio, but today they are definitely in less pain when I'm working out! I also think that the bags under my eyes are less pronounced! That has caused me much consternation over the years:confused:. I'll keep you posted on this observation. In addition, and I noticed this yesterday, my hairbrush is combing through the back of my wet hair easily! I didn't expect this so I can't be dreaming it, but normally when drying my hair, it feels like I'm dragging a rake through hay.:confused:
Here are a couple of things to read up on it: Oil Pulling For A Brighter Smile and Better Health by Bruce Fife
Oil Pulling For Detoxing? No, But Helps With Gum Disease & Immunity -- Natural Health Newsletter
And yes, just 20 minutes is optimal. You can do it while getting ready in the morning. It goes by fast, though I do admit to clock-watching.
How great you and Missy pre-ordered; I'll wait till the end of March.
 
Betty.....before my lifestyle change....i watched tv and or ate...lol

I just watched a movie on netflix....vegucated....its about 3 people than go vegan for 6 wks.

I am letting my knee rest today....in hopes that i will feel good tomorrow! I think I may start STS again....
 
Oh, I'm going to love watching Vegucated and Fat Sick....

Cloudy day. Moving slowly to match it...

Any inkling of whether Cathe will film or cut and paste the Greatest Hits?
