STS first time!

I'm super stoked!!! I ordered 4ds :) I told Tony that it was one of Cathe's most popular workouts and he laughed and said, "You always say that." Hmmm oh well...he didn't care and I ordered it...YAY! Of course for every order over $50 you get free shipping so I had to add the blue tubing too. Can't wait to get it. Every time I order I get giddy lol!

Happy Birthday Betty!!!! Enjoy your day! I always treat myself on my bday. I'm a Gemini too :)

Have a wonderful day on Sat Missy!!!!

Colleen- Way to plant that garden! UFF-DA is right ;)

Carolyn- Have fun out in the pool!
 
Good Evening!

Marie---You are going to love 4DS!!! I love buying exercise stuff too, I get all fired up and ready to workout!!!!

Carolyn---Don't you feel awesome with the am/pm workouts!!! Way to go!!!!!! :D

Okay...Just finished Drill Max today!!!

I am off to shower and watch some TV!!! Chat Later! :p
 
Had a good day off :) Hung out at Minnehaha waterfall.....so relaxing to hear and watch the water. Just finished up at Target....love that place :) Always spend way too much though. We bought 2 packs of diapers! Excited! A co-worker told me to buy a pack with each paycheck. Betty- My bday is June 7th :) Working tomorrow AM so I'm off to bed soon. Chat tomorrow.
 
Good morning! Such a busy day yesterday I had no time to post. I did the 10-10-10 class in my gym again. Then last night I went to the Celtics game with husband and oldest daughter. It was fun to see the action live, and they won so that made it all the better!

Betty, Happy Belated Birthday! How great that your son is doing STS. I offered to show my oldest (16) how to lift weights, and she told me she doesn't want any muscles! She's in good shape from playing sports, but I couldn't believe it when she told me that!

Colleen your garden sounds wonderful. All that work now will pay off later, and nothing like those fresh veggies!

Marie, glad you got 4ds, it is well worth the price and you got a good deal!

Carolyn, how long is your sister staying? Looks like a cloudy week but Friday looks like good pool weather. Does she work out with you?

Jean, cleaning is a workout too! Hope your Mom continues to do well.

Have a great day!
 
Oh, Mary, that makes me so sad your daughter feels that way about muscles! I get so saddened and frustrated when women say that. It's not just teenagers, either! So many ladies just want to be thin instead of strong. Of course, if you can be slender and strong than that's pretty awesome, but I am such a big believer in strength building these days. I was one of those girls who never touched a dumbell in college and I totally regret it! I can only imagine what Cathe's strength workouts would have done for me back then!!! Not just strength wise but appearance wise it looks so much better to have a tight muscular body than to be skinny-fat!

Oh crap, I have more posting to do but they just handed me a file!:confused: I'll be back later to write more!;)
 
I'm back! :D

Marie- I wanted to mention about the diapers...make sure you don't buy too many packages of the Newborn size or even the size 1 diapers. You would be AMAZED at how quickly those kiddos grow out of those sizes!:eek: If I remember correctly, my kids were in size 2 for awhile and then size 3 even a little longer. Those first 6 months fly by quickly! Also, with all those cute onesies and PJ's, I would get a small number of the 0-3 months size and more of the 3-6 months. Honestly, when my kids were babies they would literally grow overnight! I would put them to bed, and I would swear by morning they looked different!

Carolyn- I am SO stoked that you love Burn and Build!:eek: It makes me want to do it again soon! I promised myself I would take a relaxing recovery week though! My body was feeling so achey and beat up after Athletic Step last Sunday! I'm feeling better now, though, thank goodness! I am so bummed about this step aerobics thing. I was finally catching onto Cathe's choreography and AS is SO much fun! I can't bring myself to trade away all those step dvds of hers yet. I collected almost all of them either by trading or buying these past few months. I did put them down in the drawer where I keep my videos that I'm not crazy about but don't want to part with yet:cool:. Also, SCORE on Drill Max!! You are going to love that one, too!

I didn't quite get to my workout this a.m. I was planning on Yogini by Ellen Barrett. I started it, but 10 minutes in I had to stop to get the kids going for school. It's a good workout for doing at night though. I won't get all crazy sweaty so it should be fine to do before bedtime without needing to jump in the shower after!

Okay, gotta go again! Have a great day ladies!
 
Working AM shift today---almost done! YAY! It went pretty quick but I was dragging all day. I woke up twice last night...dang bladder. Goal for tonight is Yoga Relax. I never do a "real" workout after working AM shift but I figured it'd be the perfect day to start my new goal of doing yoga once a week. Even that sounds like it will take a lot of energy though haha! Tony has band practice tonight so I'm hoping to be in bed early :)

Jean- I bet your daughter really appreciated those diapers. Both grandmas live in the state and not too far away so I'm sure we will get lots of spoiling too :)

Carolyn- Great deal on Drill Max...that is another one on my wish list. I get a taste of it from Cardio Fusion and really like it.

Mary- Glad to hear you like 4DS too. I haven't heard a single complaint about that one.

Colleen- Thanks for the tips! I noticed that NB only goes to 8lbs. My niece was born at 6lb6oz and a month later already weighed 8lbs. Here's to hoping I don't have to go straight to size 1 :)
 
Marie- Hopefully you won't have to give birth to a bigger baby than 8 lbs! My sister was going to this midwife and was totally planning on having a natural childbirth. Midwife had no idea what was going on. My sister happened to end up with an OBGYN for one of her final appointments (midwife wasn't available)...we're talking just a few weeks before she was due...and the OB happened to realize that my nephew was over 10 lbs and totally breach! They scheduled a C-section right away! Had she not seen that OB she might have ended up trying to vaginally deliver a 10 lb breach baby! One more reason why I'm leery of midwives anymore!:eek:
 
I did it! Yoga Relax! Felt really good to stretch. I couldn't do the moves where I would have been lying flat on my back so had to modify those. I'm gonna have to start doing different ab moves too if my dr ok's it. She said no more lying on my back after 20 weeks. Oh I have a new pic too that I'll post :) Colleen- That's crazy about your sis. I have a friend who tried the midwife deal too and she eventually ended up at a hospital. Scary! Carolyn- How was your cookie and coffee? Sounds soooo good! My weakness is warm from the oven choc chip cookies. Jean- Glad to hear about your mom but sorry to hear about the nurse. I work with some nurses that are really not good. Drives me nuts!
 
Marie you are such a cute preggie!!:D I was very houselike :eek:. Heh. I had people asking me if I was due any time when I was only 6 months along!:eek:

Carolyn- that's so funny about your kids being teenie weenie! lol Dylan was 8lbs, 7oz I believe and Lydia was something like 7 lb 14 oz. When they came out I felt like a million bucks too, and in need of a seriously long nap! I'll never forget that feeling of relief, and just wanting to go to sleep!:eek:

Jean- I'm so glad your mom is doing better! It's so rough when you are in the hospital and dealing with a less than stellar nurse or doctor. No fun.:(

Still not sure if I'll get Yogini in...gotta help Dylan with homework! Have a great night ladies!
 
I was pretty big when I was pregnant:eek:. I wasn't obese or anything, but my belly was much more beachball like rather than basketball sized! I gained about 40 lbs with Dylan and 35 lbs with Lydia. On a girl 5'2", that was quite a bit! My arms, legs and face weren't too terribly puffy but boy was that belly BIG! lol Of course, I wasn't working out back then, either. I wish I had been...I bet my delivery with Dylan would have gone a lot better!:eek:
 
Marie you look fantastic! How's this for pregnancy comments: when I was pregnant with my twins (born in august) I was at a cookout and a man, a complete stranger, came up to me and told me I looked like the Hindenburg! I couldn't think of anything to say at the time and so just walked away. Now I can think of quite a few things to say!

Went to my work gym today and did a half hour athletic-step type class, then 20 minutes of pilates. My abs are sore already.

I am already wondering when I will do STS again. I feel like I would have more success the second time around. But we go to the Cape for 2 weeks in August so that would be a big gap. Maybe I'll start up again when we get back, but then in Sept. everything gets crazy again with school starting. I know in June I'm going to do the one month LIS rotation, looking forward to that.

Can't believe the Milk of Magnesia story! We really have to be patient advocates these days.
 
Good Evening ladies!

I don't have much time, just wanted to check in. I have been so busy, I have had no time to post. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. I was off last Friday so I have been playing catch up at work. I am also off this Friday so I am trying to get everything done prior. Crazy!!! But, I love my job!!!!

I have been doing my workouts, farm chores, etc. Just running out of time.


Well, tomorrow is a new day. I will catch up eith you girls then.

Off to bed! Good night! :p
 
Thanks for all the compliments! You gals are making me feel so good :) Carolyn- Thanks for the tips on the clothes. I will remember that. So sad about those nurses......how horrible. Pure laziness! Very pathetic! Mary- Wow! Nice guy :/ That is horrible! I probably would have cried with these hormones I have going on. Jean- Thanks for the update on your mom and thanks for posting that article. I will have to check it out when I'm on my computer. Betty- Nice job on plyo legs :) No workout for me today. I had an 8 hour training class today......I'm training to become a preceptor so I'll be able to train other nurses at work. Exciting, but boring workshop. I was dying. I can't sit that long. Thankfully I was in the back row so I could get up and stand and stretch. Ugh! It was bad! Alright tomorrow is the big day :) I will be keeping you all posted! Good night for now!
 
It's a boy!!! We are so excited! Would have been either way :) Everything is measuring normal and looking good :) We are off to go camping for the weekend. Cross your fingers the weather holds out. Have a good weekend everyone!
 
Marie, congratulations, how exciting! Now you can think of him as a little person. Have a great time camping too!
 
Congratulations Marie!! I was so happy to find out the sex before they were born. I know some people like to be surpised but it's so nice to be able to start planning the nursery and clothes. Also, people can finally stop calling the baby "it"! LOL

Today was Barefoot Cardio by Ellen Barrett. I did some pilates last night, too! It's nice because a lot of these videos I'm doing this week I haven't done in ages! I'm really missing seeing Cathe on the screen though. I'm thinking Saturday will have to be Afterburn!!

I hope everyone's having a great day!
 
Good Evening!

I just did Slide&Glide. I haven't done that one in a while but it has some different moves in it, and who knew a little green band could be so tough!

Jean, I'm glad your Mom is doing so much better. I have to take my Mom to a neurology appt tomorrow, she's starting to forget things more than usual.

I am the same way with treats in the house, and my husband has a real sweet tooth. We really didn't have any sweets in the house when I was growing up, but my husband's family did. Now he buys it and I'll eat it if its here, but otherwise I don't miss it. I have asked him not to buy stuff but he can't seem to resist.

We are heading to the Cape tomorrow evening. I am looking forward to getting away and I hope there isn't tooooo much traffic!
 
Wow, everyone must be really busy, it is so quiet here!
I did Afterburn this morning, love that one! I am really enjoying getting back into the LIS workouts.
Betty, where do you go on the Cape? I am so glad that bridge work is done, traffic is bad enough as it is.
Missy, Happy Birthday!
