STS first time!

Hi Everyone. It is a beautiful day. It is going up to 81 degrees today. We are expecting a lot of rain on Thursday.
I took the plunge and ordered the 3 BB dvd's from DD. They look hard but not like Cathe. They will probably arrive on my husbands day off. I hate that. :p

Carolyn I would love to walk around my neighborhood but I really don't feel safe here. I know I am just being ridiculous but this neighbor hood is not like where you live. I see people walking pit bulls on my street and I fear one of them will get loose and attack my little dogs. Also the neighbors aren't the kind that lived here when I moved in. I am sure I would be fine but I think I will just wait until I get to a place where I feel safer. The dogs are weirded out by the change but they are fine as long as we are with them. I hope your husband is feeling better today.

Betty I will check out Dan Brown. I am not sure if I will like his subjects that he writes about. But I will look at his stuff. I am so ready to sit down and relax with a good book.

Jean
 
Hello....

Jean....If you dont feel safe...dont do it.....I completely understand....I love walking, but Im not of fan of doing it alone as I live in the boonies....you never know! ;)

I am going to just throw this out there.....I used 3 pd weights last night for upper body...and I can definately feel it today....yeah!!!! Looking forward to lower body tonight.....

I will let you know once I receive my 3 from DD, if the total body is the 3 combined....I just called them to see when they would be shipping them....I bought them friday....as I was getting ants in pants for them...LOL...they are shipping out today...yeah!!!!!:eek:

Be back....:p
 
Jean, good for you on BB! Don't worry, I've read on VF that DD's shipping takes forever. I thought the same thing that dh might be home when I finally receive UY.:D:p Mine already shipped Friday.
What experience have Marie, Mary, and Colleen have with DD's shipping? You too, for that matter.
Dan Brown's got one series, and then some standalones. They are all riveting. You'll like them.

I did Mary Helen Bower's Ballet Beautiful TB and I must say I liked it, dare I say a bit more than Leah's because of MH's realtime cuing. The set is also very soothing. There were sections on bridge, abs, outer thigh, inner thigh, standing (super brief!), and arms. My thighs were screaming. My only complaint is that she doesn't stretch but a milli-nano-second in between sides or sections. I had to pop in Extended Stretch afterward. Maybe this could be my TB to Leah's.
She is ridiculously limber! Pretzel-like!
MHB also has a Body Blast one, which seems very similar. Both these are $9ish at DD with the sale. Idk if I need both. I do see some parts in Body Blast that are not covered in TB when I watch the tiny clips. Guess I'll have to borrow the 2nd one to view too.

Carolyn, I want to say that Leah must just have some different covers on those dvds but they are the same thing. If you go on her site, she only shows 4 dvds.
Hope you got a walk in. So nice!

I've got to hit the shower. Lunch with my neighbors at noon. Bbl for more.
 
Oh my Carolyn, poor DH. A boy in dd class got hit in the eye this past weekend from a baseball. He has to miss the last week school. Terrible. I hope the ENT gets back to you soon.

DD shipping always seems to take forever and my stuff always arrives when DH is home. My DVDs just shipped yesterday and I ordered them on Friday.

Today I did UB segments from BB. I did 3 and I left abs for tonight. I also walk 2 miles yesterday. I used 2 pound weights this morning. Usually I will start with 3 and drop to 2 if needed.
 
Carolyn That is awful about your husband. It is too bad he didn't go to the Dr. when it happened. Keep us abreast on what the future Dr's say. Poor guy has had a rough year. Hopefully things will get fixed easily. I got hit in the eye by a baseball or softball in high school by the strongest girl hitter. I didn't even get a black eye. I personally accredit all the milk I drank. :rolleyes: Anyway , good luck to him. Let him know we are all thinking of him.

Betty Enjoy your lunch with the neighbors.
 
Carolyn....I hope your hubby gets better soon......Hopefully the ENT can get him in asap!!! Tell him we are thinking of him.....

Okay....so I am thinking I may need to invest in a pair of 2 pd dumbells....OMG....this is crazy....but I loved the workout last night...so pumped for tonight....I just got the email stating my DVDs shipped today....hehehe....So I reached to top shelf in the office today to get a book...and I thought my arms were going to freak out....yep...DOMS..oh yeah...and we all know I am the crazy women who thrives on DOMS....LOVE LOVE LOVE em!!!! Then, I went to twist around to grab some envelops in my office and I could feel the tighness in my back and abs....hehehehe...why didnt I try these sooner???? I think it has got me excited for exercise again....which is awesome!!!!!

Be back....busy busy!!!:eek:
 
My workout lol, I laugh when I say workout because walking used to be my extra workout but now-a-days it is my workout. Oh well! Anyways I walked with a co-worker during my lunch break. Depending on B's schedule when I get home I'll try and do something else....maybe another walk if it's nice. It's been raining on and off all day.

At work now...off at 3:30 :)

Tony and I are taking a mini vacation. Thu Fri we are going up north and staying in a cabin just us 3. So excited! Then this weekend we are going to Tony's dad's lake place for a family get together! Should be fun!
 
Has anyone ever had your armpit hurt? Mine right one has been so sore the last two days. Sore to even touch. I wonder if I have an ingrown hair??? Sorry if TMI.

Oh that sounds painful! I've never had that happen but I heard ingrown hairs can be very painful! Oh and never tmi for a nurse ;)
 
Marie I am a little confused as to why you are getting rid of your stored breast milk. What are you going to give Breckin? Will you still give him your new breast milk because it has no dairy in it? I am so out of the baby loop.

Jean-

I'll for sure give him my new frozen breastmilk. Starting in May I gave it up so I can give him that but everything before that I was eating dairy. I tried to give him some and go figure his eczema flared up, poor guy! So I can't give him that anymore.
 
Carolyn, it's a huge relief to have the diagnosis on dh. Get well soon. (OP with coconut oil is good for sinus infections!;))
Man, you sure made out at Kohl's. I never shop there--none nearby and not very exciting. I saw those cushions at XMT too and may get a couple. I like your inspirational wall stencil.

Marie, you get away more than anyone I know! Much less someone with a baby! Enjoy!

Colleen, I thought you were on break from BB?
 
Just checking in to say I did Supercuts during his nap when I got home. It was the perfect timing for that workout and a shower. I was stoked! Sleeping baby in my arms now. Must transfer to crib. Wish me luck lol.
 
Carolyn, DH's injuries sound so painful, I hope he feels some relief soon.

Yesterday was a rest day for me, but I walked 3 miles at lunch. The weather has been great. This morning I did Tabata 1-4 and core 1.

I had my first rowing session Tues. night. The boathouse is on the Merrimac river. We had to learn about the parts of the boat, and lift the boat off and back onto the trailer. That was very awkward, I was next to a guy much taller than me, and I had to extend my arms straight up to reach the boat. Really felt that in my shoulders. Then we had to watch a safety video. Then we took the rowing machines out on the dock and rowed while we looked at the river, nothing too strenuous, just working on technique. Tonight we might be able to take the boat out on the water, I hope so!

Marie, enjoy your time away!

I can't look at any more workouts, I have too many as it is, but I hope you all enjoy your new ones!
 
Good Morning! Its going to be a raining few days here....the tropical storm is coming....and we are in the path....on the west side...so it shouldnt be too bad.....hopefully! :)

Last night I did the core section with warm up and cooldown....as I was having some leg cramps....so tonight I will do lower body....I am just in love with these workouts so far....my core was on fire...as cathe would say....I thought they were going to explode.....lets just say....I definately have doms today!!! I can say I have never hit top to bottom and both sides with my core workouts....they all hurt....but thats awesome!!!!! Gives me hope...that one day....my middle section will be sexy and lean again!!!!

Hope everyone has a lovely day.....gotta get things done before the bad weather gets here....it will probably hit right as we are going home tonight....thats normally how it happens.....a long drive in the pouring rain!

BBL!
 
Hi girls!!

No workout today. I did take a little walk though 1.5 miles. Just not feeling it today.

Yesterday I went in for an allergy shot and had an allergic reaction. Broke out in hives all under my arms and sides and stomach. Had to go home a take Benadryl so I think I am stuff off from that excitement yesterday.

Carolyn, maybe you monitor is off but at least It is consistent with what it is registering. I've been spinning for around 3 years now plus I have nice solid thighs to help me through. I hate my thighs but Leah is helping to slim them down. Sorry you had a hard time falling asleep.

Missy, so glad you are liking the BB DVD.

Mary, so cool with the rowing. I can't wait to hear more. Your UB is going to be rocking!!
 
Hi everyone,
Finished some errands. I feel scattered in all directions today because of so many little things that need to be done, but I don't want to do them, so I'm attacking them slowly, and things are everywhere.

Carolyn, glad you went down and told the loud men off. How inconsiderate. I probably would have been fuming in bed.
How is dh feeling now? Hopefully the antibiotics have started to kick in.
Good luck with your mammo.
Oh yes, Tabata is high-impact, I recall. A lot of jumping.
Why do you need a hyper extension bench??

Colleen, what kinds of allergen were you injected with? That must have been uncomfortable. Decades ago I used to suffer from hives. Torture. It was detergent.

Mary, that's a great intro to rowing! You want to get to the good stuff tonight.

Jean, need to hear from you today.

Missy, that's great giving yourself muscle confusion!

I'm sleepy after my lunch now, but I should hop on spin bike. I walked last evening as well.

Incidentally, if I had won the $590m, I would have reached out and shared my wealth with my forum friends. More than central a/c, ladies.

Soooo sleepy zzzzzzzzz
 
Good Afternoon Everyone. Today I caulked the front door and screen door. I ran out of caulk so I let it dry and painted it. When I get more caulk on Sunday I will finish that project. I love to caulk. I just finished cleaning the bathroom window. The screen came out and it is so hard for one person to put back in. Now I am so hot and sweaty. I have been able to take a one hour nap the last 2 days. That was so wonderful. I am up by 6:30 every morning.

Carolyn You sure got a lot of stuff at Kohls. It sounds like you got some good deals. Don't fret about "only" doing 10 miles on your bike. I think that is wonderful. You should be proud of yourself. I would love to brag about that. We all know that you give it your all. I have done Tabata a few times . I can't remember much about it but I survived.

Marie Enjoy your mini vaca. It seems like you just got back from you. You are lucky to be able to go so much.

Mary Rowing sounds so fun. I can picture you now trying to hold the boat in back of a tall guy. I know exactly how you feel.

Missy We are expecting a lot of rain also. It is supposed to start some time today and the worst will be tomorrow. I used to hate getting off work and there was inclement weather to drive in. Feel lucky you don't have to get on our Beltway. That can be a nightmare.

Colleen That is too bad you got an allergic reaction from your allergy shot. Is that common?
