STS first time!

Carolyn, what thoughtful gifts!!! Those are the ones that show the giver thought about you and knows you! Love it. Green tea sounds good...
Funny, wherever I go, I seek deserted: roads, stores, anything. Antisocial? Yes, describes me to a T. Loathe crowds.
What a clever combo workout! That's why I love XT--many options on the same dvd.
For your birthday, DDD and dvdplanet raised UY prices to $112. Shocker. Hadn't budged in so long!

Mary, Puerto Rico sounds heavenly right about now.
Good luck clothes shopping. I like to shop, and buy all the clothes and food, etc, for everyone. I'm sure if I had girls it'd be different.

Jean, normally that amount of snow has me hiding for a while too, but knowing there are warmer temps makes all the difference. Plus, my friend is driving!:D
I'll keep my eye out for the Skinny Cow. We've bought vanilla/choc before and it goes slowly.
 
I am home....I was crazy this morning... I ran into an old friend at publix....so we chatted for about 45 minutes....which put me behind schedule....but it was nice catching up with her! Icame home washed my car....then went to the open house...it was beautiful! Tim is so happy....they were swamped...I only stayed for about 45 minutes and then headed back home! I am now doing laundry!

My seeds are starting to sprout!

Just a few pics for today!
 
Oh...No Tim did not get a shirt...we went last night, but could not find anything. We are going tonight after dinner to look for some nice shirts for Tim. He needs some nice button down, shirts! So off shopping we will go later when Tim gets home from work!
 
I did Intensity again today. Man is that a good workout! I was dying until I got to the low impact Hiit. I also did Core 1.

I'm at work right now and missing my boy. My mom and stepdad are in town watching him. They brought some steaks from their local meat market so we're grilling those up for dinner. YUM! I never cook meat myself so it's always a treat when I have it.

Speaking of antisocial. That would be me too! I'm in fact so antisocial today that I don't want to hang with my mom and stepdad. I really just want to go home and snuggle with my boy by myself. Loser!

Carolyn- Happy Birthday my friend! Glad to hear your DH is taking Thu and Fri off. Family time is the best!

Jean- I'll have to check out Bates Motel. Love scary movies.

Missy- Nice job saying no to the elipitcal. Your knee will be better before you know it.

Betty- Have fun with your girlfriends tonight!

Mary- That's great that you're taking an April vacation. A nice beach is heaven! I'm with you on not being a shopper, unless of course I'm going to Target. LOVE that place!

Colleen- Hope DS is ok. Water in the ears is never pleasant. Poor dude!

Alright almost time to head out. Gotta give the nurses report.

Don't forget about daylight savings tonight. Losing an hour of sleep is not cool, especially since I'll be up at 4am to workout. Meso 3 starts on Monday but I'm thinking I'll start tomorrow and save my usual Sunday UY for Monday. It is my Friday and that sounds like a nice end to my week.
 
I hate turning the clocks ahead and losing an hour! I had to get up early to get DD off to volleyball practice this morning, and we're all tired. I was planning to do Tabatacize 1-5 but only made it to 3! Oh well.

Then I went out to BJs to stock up on stuff, and they had the pink boxing gloves! It's funny how a little thing can make me excited. And they didn't smell - another thread said some people had a problem with that.

I guess I would like shopping if I could spend whatever I like. I'm like Colleen, I seem to have expensive tastes but don't like spending all the money. I am not a good shopper at places like Marshalls or TJM. And prom dress shopping was ok, I had in my head that we would spend under $200, but the dresses mostly ran at least $300. She didn't pick one so we will have to keep looking.

Carolyn, what great gifts you got! My kids used to do the coupon thing too, and I never cashed them in, I just liked the coupons themselves.

I understand about the antisocial thing too. That's me, I hate crowds.

Have a great day!
 
Hi ya ladies!!

Carolyn, how wonderful of DH!! Where do you think you'll go in April??

Today I took my DD to get her communion dress.

My dd was not happy about lunch yesterday but we made it up o them and took them out to dinner. DS was much better after his nap

I had a strange experience yesterday? I had a glass of wine with dinner an I ha a reaction with the wine with the antibiotics I am on. I felt like I was drugged.

Today I did detox from UY. LOVED it. I think it was my favorite so far. It had a lot of twists and flow. I felt amazing afterwards.

Kids are outside playing right now. It is soooo nice out.
 
Hello....

Carolyn--- your hubby is so sweet! Sounds like hou had a wonderful birthday!!! You so deserve it!

Colleen--- you have to be careful with alcohol and antibiotics....some can actually cause seizure like symptoms....some cause excessive vomitting and some drunk/drugged like symtoms....its aweful! Be careful! Make sure if the bottle doesnt say not to drink alcohol you tell your dr....there may be something in the med your body cant handle!

As for my knee...i walked at a slow pace for 45 minutes....stopping every 10 minutes to stretch. I cold only get to 3.4 mph.....which is medium speed for me.... but better than nothing. I am hoping tonight...to do a cathe workout with modifications! Maybe about 30 min.... i am not pushing myself....just going slowly. I did not do any cathe for 10 days....and i only did elliptical a few of those days at 20-30 minutes.....so i am just rehabing my knee with many many modifications. And stretching per my chiro!

Off to go get hay! Be back later!

Oh...i have been extremely bad with my eating since i hurt my knee. 11 days now! I feel like a fat ass....gotta get my eating back under control! Just split up all my snacks into indiviual containers, lunch made for tomorrow, and tims cookies baked!
 
Hi gals!
It's a mild and sunny day. Got a short walk in. Ate a fatty brunch which included bacon (yum) and croissants (yum). I think my arteries hardened over.
Dinner with my friends last night was great. We don't see each other enough. Everyone's busy with their own lives. I always feel like these friends are the chicken soup for my soul. We ate Thai (yum), then went to a bakery and got a cafe mocha and dessert (yum).

Oh Carolyn, your bday gifts are soooo full of love and thought! You deserve it!!!! What kind of cake did you get? I am salivating:D.
OMG, you have the green light to book a vacation!!! I'm so happy for you! I at first thought you were going to go to Hawaii:D! Have a wonderful mini vaca later this week! Hope you can check in with us!:D
There is a Skinny Cow cookies-n-cream in the Costco coupon book this month. Anyone try it before? Like I need to have a box of 20 temptation in the freezer!:confused:

Marie, with my first, when he was a newborn, I resented visitors! Only because I felt like crap after a c-section and didn't want to have to entertain. Nursing did a number on me too. Talk about the dark ages for me. Nowadays, these are so second nature to women! But I also hate disruption to a baby's schedule. Feeding and napping were so regimented, by necessity.
Never did master Intensity. It is tough!

Mary, how exciting you found the pink gloves! At BJ's of all places! Never would have expected that!
You have lots of time to shop for a prom dress, fortunately.

Missy, you'll never be a fat a$$! You are SO conscientious with fitness and diet, so it will not happen! Keep up the great job. Nice job stretching your legs too!
How awesome your veggies are sprouting!
Dreamland of John Deeres, eh?

Colleen, that sounds frightening what you experienced! I hope it didn't neutralize your antibiotics!
Detox sounds so superb!

Hi Jean!

Won't get dark till 6:30 or so!
 
Just got done with barn chores! Tim is preparing dinner, then i will do 30 minute workout, and then planning on watching tv with Tim!

I almost forgot....Mary...my pink gloves did not smell!! And I just love them!!! They add so much to the workout! Just love them!

Betty- thanks! After hearing your confidence in me...I will jump back in head first! Going to attemp a few minutes of hard strikes tonight.without all the jumping(modify modify modify)...will let you know how it goes....my knee is feeling really good at the moment!

Having homemade pizza tonight!! Yum yum!
 
Jean....tomato and black olive! It was delish! Tomorrow, i plan to start being good in the nutrition deptartment again! I did 30 minutes of my workout tonigjt! I will say...in the 10 days....i lost alot of muscle....i am not as strong as i was before....so i will be working hard to regain my strength! Its crazy....takes forever to get...and disappears so fast! Oh well...gives me something to work toward!!! Being super careful with my knee though!

Good night!
 
Good morning! It sure is hard geting up when the time changes! But....Im up and walking on the treadmil....i hit snooze a few times to many...so only have 20 minutes for cardio this morning!

Have a nice monday!
 
Good morning ladies,

It was very scary on sat night. The bottle never said anything about not drinking while taking the antibiotics. DH reached and it said it was not recommended. Strange thing is I'm not a big drinker to begin with and neither if us gave it any thought. I won't never do that again.

Today was ballet body lower body focus. I got up late (darn time change is hard to adjust to) so I only couldn't squeeze in 45 minutes. I have 2 more segments that I will so to tonight.

Missy the pizza sounded so good. I made grilled chicken on the grill last night with roasted butternut squash and green beans. It was tasty!! How is your knee feeling? I am so proud of you for listening to your body.

Jean, I can't wait to hear how you like UY. I really enjoyed detox yesterday. One thing I don't like is he doesn't list the run times. I've started to jot them down as I am doing them.

This is what I have so far

Cardio: 62
Yin: 65
Detox: 72
Flexibility: 72
 
Hey everybody,
It's a mild day with some weak sun here and there, so I'm enjoying it. So much of the snow has melted!

Colleen, I remember seeing something on VF describing UY dvd lengths. Here it is described for everyone who has UY: How long are the Ultimate Yogi Videos? - Video Fitness Forum
I really like how long they are!

Jean, wasn't Sybil on Downton such a tearjerker?? Same with the final episode; I imagine the tears for that one will start on episode 1 of next year. I love Anna/Bates too. I love how Thomas got his comeuppance this year; OBrien will get hers next year, hopefully. (I read that she's departing the show next year.) I too lose myself in the show. The scenery and their manner of speaking are simply gorgeous.
I have the Paperboy too. I'll watch it this week.

I forgot to mention that the other night, my girlfriend, having not seen me in 3 months, said that my eyes look very bright. I attributed it to OP. She is one who has tried OP already, having been turned to it by her holistic dentist following a root canal. The coconut oil helped her heal without the swelling and other side effects.

Mary, thought of you when I was at Frugal Fannie's today; lots of prom dresses and shoes to go with them. I looked at the prices of a couple of dresses and they were $69.95! Westwood must be a hike for you though.

Missy, Monday at a doctor's office!:confused: I try to hold off till Tuesday to call...

I did CSS this am, with the step add-on. I'm a little beat up from it; I'll have to do any step stuff with just one riser from now on.

The time change threw me for a loop too. A bit sleepy right now too from CSS and food coma.
 
Good morning!

Boy was it tough to get up this morning, it is so dark! This morning I did Hard Strikes with my new gloves, it was so fun! The gloves really added some intensity to the workout. My hands got really sweaty though!

Yesterday was my yoga class at lunch time. It is a very basic class, I am not thrilled with it but I paid for 8 classes so I'll take them all. Others in the class say they really like it so she won't make any changes. I've had some really good yoga instructors where they talk about using the breath to help with the poses, and make subtle changes in the moves that really make a difference, and I felt much more aware of my body. Not happening in this class. When it's over I'll go back to UY.

Jean, the gloves were $14.99 at BJs, I think that's a good price.

Betty, I used to go to Frugal Fannie's years ago when I first started working, I think there were more locations then. Westwood would be a hike from here.

Carolyn, how exciting you are getting away with your family. You all deserve it!

On Downton, I felt really sad after the Sybil episode but the final one was kind of a shock. I read that when the next season starts, it will take place after the funeral and all that so we won't see the immediate aftermath.
 
Good morning.....yesterday was crazy....i was wide open all day till i hit the bed....i had no time to even get on the computer last night!!!

This morning....i struggled getting up again...it was too dark...i just wanted to stay in bed....heck if i wasnt working today...i think i would be on bed. Lol....but i dud get 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning!

My knee is slowly feeling better....i have mixed feelings....me staying off the elliptical is helping...but if i get on the elliptical my knee normally would throb! I know maybe once healed i can get back on elliptical with moderation....but is it worth chancing another knee injury????

Off to work...back to my office today! Thank god! I havent been in there in 2 days...yes...i will be behind for days!

Bbl!
 
Good morning,

I had such a hard time getting up that I took a rest day. I just felt exhausted, so I took a test day. Maybe I'll try to get in the rebounder for a few minutes tonight. Well see...I also finished my workout last night so I was happy about that.

Missy, i understand your mixed feelings with your knee and the elliptical. Maybe just see how you feel after its feeling 100% better. Maybe use the arms instead d just using your legs. We have a gym at work and I use TV elliptical when my knee was bothering me a f it was no good for my knee.

Carolyn, where are you going? That's great you found a good place to stay. Well deserved. Humm, is TB like BB. Yes and no. Some of the moves are similar barre type workouts but Leah has her own twist that doesn't put in the came category as cathe's barre workouts. Cathe does a great job but Leah's are better in my option. Oh an you will get DOMS from Leah's. I have gotten DOMS from TB but nothin like bb and I really had to focus on form and how deep I was going. Hope thy helps.

Thanks Betty for the link. That helps so much. Oh I forgot to mention that I had upper body DOMS from detox on Sunday!!!

Mary, great job on hard strike. Glad you are enjoying the gloves. I was thinking about trying hard strike on the rebounder. Sorry the yoga is more beginner than what you would like. Maybe it a good mix to just relax and stretch out???
