STS first time!

Have you girls played around on youtube???? There are so many free workouts avail.....you should check it out....if your not feeling Cathe right now...you may need a break....I went about a month without doing Cathe...and I am back now.....absence makes the heart grow stronger.....

Colleen....where are you???? Hope everything is okay!

Marie---you must be busy with your little man.....:D
 
Hi girls!!

I'm here super quick check in. It's been such a busy day at work.

Today I did lower body segments from bb.

Carolyn, can't wait to hear how you like the gloves.

Missy, did the bike come in? I scanned posted super quick so I might not of read that it did.

Mary, glad you enjoyed the visit with your sister. August will be here before to know it.

Hi to Betty, Jean and Marie.
 
Carolyn, how hot is it? (You sound like me in the summer!) It is cloudy and slightly humid here, but in the 60s. The rain that's been promised has so far only sputtered a few random drops!:confused: I want some heavy, soaking rain!
Enjoy your Wags! They look like a very neat concept. But ridiculously pricey!:confused:
No Lastics? I've watched a preview twice (apparently not remembering that I did it once before). Anything for stretch is a thumbs up.

Missy, you probably hoisted the bike box into your trunk, right, you strong woman??;) Have fun putting it together!

Mary, I really know how you feel too!:(. Isn't that always the way? At least you've got August to look forward to, and you had a week with her this time.
I think it's time for us to do the workouts we never reach for, the ones we categorize as too easy. Maybe that's what we need, something not too intense, with fun. Try doing more UY. I read that UYers started a 3rd 108-day rotation this past Monday.

I should have taken a nap earlier; haven't done a thing today. Anything I attempt, my eyes glaze over and I get drowsy. What a waste!
 
Hey all!

Just stopping by to say hi. B is snoozing in my arms right now :)

I just finished packing for CO. I leave on Friday to go visit my sister and niece. So excited although I hear it is going to rain the entire time I'm there. Ugh! Fingers crossed we will have a few nice days. I would love to be able to hike everyday and visit the zoo. We have swim lessons planned for Tue. B just loves swimming. We took him while staying at the hotel and he thought it was hilarious to splash around. Beyond cute!

Alright I best get to cleaning.....
 
Okay ladies....its offical....i have a spin bike...tim and i put it together with a glass of wine...lol...and i jumped right on....did 8 miles tonight!!!

Off to shower!!!

Marie...have fun!
 
Good morning.....

So how many miles should i work towards to be able to do cycle max???? Or should i just jump in head first????

Any thoughts or suggestions....because i had a blast last night...so I was thinking of doing cm tonight??? Just not sure if I am ready?????
 
Happy Thursday Ladies. We have gotten an inch of rain over the past 3 days. The sun is in and out. The temps are low 70's. I finished another bedroom last night. I had to move my cats to the basement so they don't mess up my fresh paint. My cats are very social so they don't like not being with their humans.

Marie Have a fun safe trip to CO. I am excited to hear how B's swim lessons go. That is such a smart thing to do.

Missy You look good on your bike. You will be up to Colleen in no time.

Carolyn Have you ever looked into getting your eyebrows threaded? I worked with a girl who got that done and it looked really nice. How is Cuda doing with his training? Last week I bought the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. They are really good.

Betty That is so cute that a bird landed on your hat.

I am so surprised to hear you guys are not looking forward to your w/o's lately. I so want to w/o but I am too tired from painting. I always envy yal for the w/o's that you do everyday.

Jean
 
Good morning ladies!!!

I did 50 minutes on the spin bike and 15.5 miles.

I am super tired today. I wasn't in the mood to do any DVDs and today was a cardio day so I just did my own thing spinning this morning.

Another super busy day at work today. I'll be back later to post more. Hope everyone has a great day.
 
Okay....Carolyn....you just convinced me to do CM tonight....so excited...cant wait to try it! I want a sweat fest!!!! :p
 
Hi gals,

Finally getting some decent rainfall. Hope it lasts longer than an hour. Sheesh. Now I remember what I don't like about summer! Humidity, and rain/showers bringing mosquitoes.:eek: Can't be outdoors for long without feeling one or both.:confused: Not complaining yet though. It's still May after all. Love it.

Jean, so great to hear from you. How's your dog (sorry, can't remember; Brussels breed)?
You taking the coco oil yourself too?
Take some time for yourself when you need it. It's hard work, all that painting you're doing!

Carolyn, I don't remember you going to Story Land last year. Or maybe I do?? What a fun place for young kids! Have you eaten at a place called Spaghetti Shed nearby? It was sooo long ago, but we ate there a few times when going to SL. Going with friends should be interesting. We always went with my s-i-ls and their families and shared a condo.
What a great stretch of sleep you had! Thumbs up!
All the leaves and flowers have already popped out here, hence the feeling of summer already.

Missy, congrats on getting your bike up and ready! Dive right in! You can just sit or pedal lighter if you tire out. I'm sure you'll keep up with Cathe!;)
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't push that hard on the bike. I use it to get me off my butt while watching tv, but I don't want to sweat profusely when I'm doing that.:eek:. I avg 30 mins and 6+ miles, at least, anyway. With hardly any resistance.:eek: Is that simply outrageous to you spinning gals?:D:p

Marie, have a fabulous time at your sis'. We'll send sun your way! Safe travels!

Colleen and Carolyn, high five on the spinning this morning! Wow.

Hi Mary!

I better go do something...

Hello!

I'm feeling a little better today, I got a good night's sleep last night. I didn't work out this morning, I was so tired I took the day off. And I haven't been able to walk the past 2 days at lunch because of rain, it seems to start pouring just as I am ready to head out.

Carolyn, those eyebrow threading places have started popping up in the mall. I've seen one in the Rockingham mall, it has one of those kiosks in the middle of the store. I have not tried it though.

Softball game tonight. These games are just endless, the girls pitch and some don't have the skill yet, lots of walks. Ugh, will try to cheer them on.
 
Betty, I think it's great that you use the bike instead of just sitting on the couch while watching TV. I would love to be able to do that but my DH won't let me have any equipment in our den. Typically I could but I'd have to be in my workout room and at that point in the night I just want to be with DH.

Mary, good luck with the games. I've been trying to walk at wok as well and I haven't been able to the last two days. Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be better.

Carolyn, have you tied your wags glove yet? How about the stretch DVD? I think I have to agree with cycle max being harder. She tends to do more jump in cycle max and those seem hard to me. Have your tried the coached cycle by Paul Katami? I think you would really like it. His coaching is spot on and it's a killer workout. I think it's called rhythm ride.

Marie, I hope you have a wonderful trip.

Missy, how was cycle max? Can't wait to hear your thoughts. It's just like going to a class for the first time.

I'm sitting here while DS is taking a bath and dd is at piano.

I am so tired today. Can't wait to relax tonight.
 
Jean, congrats on finishing another room. How may do you have left to paint? I am so impressed with all the hard work you have been doing to get your house read to sell.
 
Good evening.....i just finished cm!!! omg.....it was awesome....I am drenched btw.... just LOVED it!!! Cant wait to try ride!!! But i prob should wait a day as my butt is kinda sore...lol

Off to shower....be back!
 
Good morning... Happy Friday!!!

Today we dont have a dr in house this afternoon....so our dr said we could leave at noon....yeah!!!! Going to go grocery shopping and come home and do chores....since saturday i am going for a pedi!

Carolyn....yes i absolutely drenched....havent sweated like that in along time! Loved it!!! Cant wait to do it again...but my inners are sore....lol

Doing my morning cardio now!!!
 
Happy Friday!

This morning I did HIIT 40/20 - wow that is tough! At least it is only 30 minutes. Then I did abs from B&G. That one has bicycles in it, which are supposed to be very good for abs, but she doesn't do any of those in her newer workouts.

Missy, glad you are enjoying your bike. And it sounds like you work for some very nice drs!

This humidity is driving me nuts! My hair, which is already very thick, has doubled in volume!

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Good morning girls,

Today was UB for me too. I did 3 plank segments from bb. My UB is fried. I still need to do abs. I will do them tonight.

Missy, so glad you liked cm. how many miles did you do? So proud of you.

Carolyn, have you ever done a live spinning class?. They are wonderful. Of course you have to have a good instructor. There is nothing like it. The loud music, the sweating the heart racing. Gets the endorphins going on over drive. Good stuff!!!! Enjoy your walk. Sorry you were up so early.

Mary, good job on Hiit this morning. Great way to knock it out and start a beautiful Friday. It will be sunny an 80 here today. I am working from home today but hope to get out at lunch for a walk.

Have a great day.
 
Good morning and Happy Friday! Sunny, some humidity, near 80 later.

Dare I try Rhythmic Step this morning? I don't know. Used to just frustrate me to no end. I'll look through my underused dvds...
