STS first time!

We turned the heat on. :p

Becky I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. I never oredered Crossfire and To the max.

Marie 3 days and counting. I am so excited. :D

Carolyn I hope you do well at your yard sale. I have so much stuff to purge. I just wish I could get off my rearend and do it.

Betty I'm missing your posts.

Jean
 
Jean, we did too. So cold and rainy today.

Carolyn, I am definitely feeling the HC. It's different type of DOMS. My core feels really tight. I feel some soreness in my arms and glutes and hamstring. I'm feeling it more and more as the day has done on. How long did it take for you to start seeing the results?

These are really gems of workouts. I'm so confused right now in terms of do I concentrate on HC and legs and cardio or do I also try to incorporate some upper body weight lifting. Decisions, decisions.....

Marie, how have you been feeling?
 
Good Evening! Just back back from the inlaws!!!

Now I am on my way to do TBT!!! :)

Carolyn---No, Tim did not go with me this morning. He is not a morning person! So, he is going to get on the treadmill tonight! He is sticking with his 3x week! I am proud of him. It is better than none!!!

Jean---I am jelous! I have on a tank and shorts! It was in the high 80's today!!!

Off to sculpt some muscles!!! Be back!!! :)
 
Good evening!

Got off work at 3:30 and been relaxing ever since :)

Workout today was a 25 min walk on my lunch break....a speedy one. The nurse I went with was determined to have it stimulate labor...no such luck!

Work was so tiring today. I got an admit an hour before the end of my shift. Too much work for a prego!

I have tomorrow and Tue (appt day :)) off. Then I'm supposed to work Wed (my due date) and Thurs. I can start my leave whenever I want though and am really considering calling HR and starting it asap. I so don't want to work.

Have a good rest of the evening everyone!

Chat tomorrow!

Hey everyone!

Jean! I watched that movie yesterday! It was slow going until the last 5 minutes! Some parts were very funny.
We had the same weather, but no heat yet.
I'm midway through the next Fifty Shades--blegh:confused:. Same crappy writing and storyline, as you warned.

Carolyn! Heat in November! You're more northerly than me and we turn it on maybe mid- to late Oct. You are a hardier lot in NH:D!
Glad you're getting some rest days in. You've gotta:p!
I'm with you on the eat, drink, and be merry!:D

Linda, great to hear from you. Thought you've given us up for good. Glad you're still with Cathe!

Marie, I'm on the edge waiting for your news! Good luck! You are amazing continuing with the walking, a brisk one at that! I'd be surprised if you don't have an easy labor! Hopefully it'll start after your 2 days off:D!

Becky, those dratted colds can do a number! Good health vibes your way. Keep up the Cathe.

ColleenD, high five on all those workouts! HC sounds really tough, and you tack on more.

Missy, congrats on being a go-to person for advice! Thumbs up! Have fun in all your Oct fitness events. Oh, I could practically hear the Zumba music.

Speaking of which, Jean, the small part in the movie with Zumba and that 23-y.o. girlfriend was hysterical!

Mary, Mer, Si, ColleenK, we miss you gals! Hope you're well!

I'm on my little device so haven't looked at XTrain teaser yet:eek:!

Good night, all!

Monin’ Ladies,

I’m checking in with a well needed rest day today. Boy it was hard getting up this morning. So tired and so chilly!

Marie, enjoy your days off. It’s so hard working this close to your due date. Relax as much as you can. Any day now!!!

Missy, I’m jealous of the 80 degree weather. I don’t like the cold. It’s only going to be in a high of 54 today. :( I have no idea how you do two workouts in one day, plus all your chores. So impressive!! :cool::cool:

Carolyn, yes, I completely get what you are saying. When I was doing spinning this week, I could feel my core when holding in my abs. Wow! I’ve been trying to do some reading up on HC and how to incorporate them in to your workout. Haven’t really found what I’m looking for yet. I may just send Sandra and email and see what she says. Or I just might concentrate on HC, Legs and Cardio until Xtrain comes out… :confused::confused::confused:

Loved the Xtrain teaser!! :):)

Have a good Monday.
 
Good Morning Friends!!! This temps this week are going to be lovely!
highs:80's and low's 60's :D

As I am a southern girl.......I don't handle the cold very well!!!

As for the twice a day workouts....I just love it! Cardio in morning Cathe in evenings!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! :eek:

At work, and its monday...gotta run! Be back soon!
 
Hi Ladies. Today I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 40 min on the treadmill. I haven't done them since June 18. It is time to get my cardio back on track. I wish I could be like Missy and w/o twice a day but after cardio I need to clean up so I guess I will need to try to add in a cardio in the evenings. Then clean up. I need to do some abs today also. I'll let you know.

Missy I see that your ticker has gone up again. It looks like you lost another 1/2 pound. Well Guess what. I found it. :mad: Congratulations. Your hard work is paying off. I am jealous of your weather. I am a good candidate for Florida. But nothing is more beautiful than the 1st snowfall. Have a nice day at work. :D

ColleenD It looks like you found the perfect w/o buddy with Carolyn. You both seem to enjoy the same activities. It is nice to have someone to compare w/o's with.

Carolyn I agree with you on the clean eating. If I could just do that I feel I would be smoking also. I have a small waist and when I suck everything in , I look really good. :eek: I keep thinking of the chicken breasts I have in the freezer and they do nothing for me. I am So envious of your 2 pack. Keep it up and you will have a 6 pack.

Marie Enjoy your 2 days off. Maybe Breckin will come Tuesday night. I can't wait. I can't believe we have experienced your whole pregnancy. We have all been together almost a year. That is fantastic.

Betty That movie was pretty good. That young girl wore him out. That is the 1st movie I have seen with Emily Blunt. She is so pretty. I like romatic comedies. Have you ever seen "Somewhere in Time"? That is the best. You need to see that. I could cry at the end. Will you be getting book 3? Might as well. You have invested this much time. The writing is pretty bad. I enjoyed them though.

Carolyn I'm glad to hear you turned the heat on. We have our heat on 70. How is Cuda doing with his fence training? Is he housebroken yet? You never mention him .

Jean
 
Aww yes! Love my days off. Plan for today is yoga and then cleaning up the house a bit....nothing crazy....just needs a quick dusting and cleaning of the floors. I swear I just did a deep cleaning last week. Gets dirty so fast!

Tonight Tony and I are going to an estate sale. He is really into those lately. Then out to eat...date night!

No new baby updates. My appt is tomorrow so hopefully I'll have some news then.
 
Marie Everytime I see you post , I am hoping you said that Your water broke. Oh well . I will keep waiting patiently. :(

Jean
 
Hey everyone!
I did Intensity today, with the Low Hiit and Boot Camp premix. This is another workout I haven't touched in a long time (March!), but having LIS, TTM, and CF under my belt, I found it less hard than in the past. Yay!:D I felt like an hour had gone by after only the 20-min mark though!:confused:

Jean, you must have gained a 1/2 lb in muscle from Beast! No doubt about it!
If I were to eat clean, I'd be smokin' too!:D So impossible with a sweet tooth.:confused:
I really like Emily Blunt. One of my absolute favorite movies, which happens to have her in it, is Dan in Real Life. You MUST see this. It's such a charming romantic comedy. I have Salmon Fishing in the Yemen coming, and she's in it. Is Somewhere in Time the movie with Christopher Reeve? (I had to look it up.)
Am I missing something with the chicken breasts in the freezer??

I've now read and seen all the posts on XTrain. I'm SO excited! Notice how Cathe has shorts on? I've read people asking her to wear shorts, and she's so nice, she does.

Marie, you clean a lot, like Jean. I have an aversion to it. That's why I have a lot of cobwebs and whatnot.:eek: Let today be the last day you clean before you have Breckin. Just rest and do nothing! Prepare mentally for the labor. Read, watch movies, veg... Estate sales sound like sooo much fun. I love to see other people's antique (not too ornate) furniture and jewels!

Thank you so much! I'm much better today.

Yesterday I did part of Cross Fire -- love the Firewalker Tabatas -- and Ab Circuits Partner Abs. I really enjoyed Cross Fire!

Today was Disc 8 of M1 -- Back and Triceps. This is always my favorite one of the week, so the time flew by!
 
Hello crazy girls....Carolyn---you had me laughing!!! Too funny!

Jean---yes, another half pound! Must be the running! Speaking of...I just bought new shoes...I actually went and had my feet fitted because my arches were killing me.

Saucony Progrid Ride 5

Too cute!!! Gonna look cute at the 5K this weekend!

Betty- I noticed that too---Cathe in shorts---she looks great! I am getting so pumped for Xtrain!!! OMG!!!

Marie---I too am excited when you post...everytime I get on here I scroll through all the posts to you to see if its time!!! :) hehehe!!!

Off to work out...Be Back Soon!
 
Ok, Carolyn, so explain chicken breast part. I don't get it!:eek:
Cuda sounds so puppyish!:D Adorable!
Oh, just remembered. I finally tried a Larabar (non-uber). It's very edible. I love that it has so few ingredients. Have I mentioned that before buying ten of these bars, whose primary ingredient is dates, that I have a 2.5 lb bag of dried dates in the house??

Missy, those Sauconys are rockin'! You'll be the pink streak flying by!

Went to the orchard Friday. Guess what will be adding to my muffin top? Yup, you guessed it--caramel apples with nuts. I absolutely love them! This particular place makes them sooo good! I have no shame and eat one a day!:eek: And they're honkin' huge! Yes, underneath it is a large apple--you'd think I'd look on the bright side!:D Regardless.

Hardly did anything today!:eek:

The evening news forecasts more gloomy weather for the next two days:(. What a downer!

Betty Chicken Breasts are just clean eating food. I have some in my freezer and should eat them so I eat clean. They just don't interest me. I want food that is not clean. Tonight for dinner I made Spaghetti and chocolate croissants. I should have eaten those chicken breasts.
I wrote down that movie to put on my Netflix list. I am open to all suggestions. Somewhere in time has Christopher Reeves .
I don't really clean alot. I try to do one room at a time. Somedays I clean the bathroom or clean the floors. Today I changed the sheets on the bed and cleaned the stove. Nothing major. Just enough for me to know that I did something. I feel guilty with my husband working 12 hour days and I am sitting down all day.
I love caramel apples too but that is something I can resist. I think the caramel is so thick it feels like my teeth are coming out. But if you put one in front of me I would eat it.

Becky I'm glad to hear you are sticking with STS. Keep up the good work. It gets so much more fun after Meso 1.

Missy Those shoes are cute. :cool: For my age , I try to be a little more subdued. I hope they are comfortable. You look so good in your picture.

Carolyn Cuda will get it one day and not have accidents anymore. He is still a puppy. My 2 boys wear belly bands 24/7 and I have a girl who wears panties to bed. You just never know what you are bringing home.

Marie On the news tonight they did an article on dangerous baby items:
drop side cribs, soft bedding ,sleep positioners, sling carriers, bumbo seats ,bath seats and never use pillows,quilts,cushions or bumper pads. There is a website you can look up dangerous items:saferproducts.org
You probably already know all of this stuff anyway.


Jean
 
Thanks girls!

Betty--I so would indulge in a carmeal apple with nuts!!! So yummy! But we don't have many places to get them here. You can buy them at walmart or grocery store but its not the same! Fresh is the best!!!

Jean---I too thought the shoes were a little bright, but once I put them on...I was like OMG these are so cushioned! Comfy!!! My husband was shocked because he always says I am so????? well, I dont like load colors. I want everything to be black/white/neutral....so I steped outside my comfort zone! And I love them now!

Will let ya know how they feel after I run with them tomorrow. I have been trying to run mov lately. :)

Carolyn---enjoy Cuda while he is still young! I miss the puppy in Summy sometimes! But wouldn't trade her for a puppy. She is my sweet Pumpkin!!!

Off to relax!!! Good Night!
 
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!

Got up this morning and put on my new shoes and jumped on the treadmill. Oh were the comfy!!! So glad I got them. Tonight is the night Tim will exercise on the treadmill, so I am planning on doing HST!!!

At work and busy...check back soon!

Hope everyone has a lovely day!!!! :D
 
Good Morning Ladies,

Checking in with Vol 1 today and then rounds 1&2 of biceps and triceps from 4DS boot camp. The lifting felt good this morning, but my arms are now fried.

Carolyn, I can’t remember, do you have vol 4? I actually put that in first this morning and didn’t have it in me to the do the ball today. I’m wondering if I should get the “Get Rolling” DVD. I always struggle on the stability ball. Also, I have two 55 balls and one is much larger (which is the one I am currently using), I think I need to dig out the smaller one and see if that makes a difference.

Missy, love the new shoes. Do you use your running shoes for your Cathe workouts?

Anyone see the new clips on Utube for Xtrain? Love it!!! I’m getting so excited for the new workouts.

Betty, I love LARABARs and I’ve recently got into making my own. Last batch was peanuts, cocoa, shredded coconut, dates and some almond butter. Supper yummy!

Jean, I usually love chicken, but lately I’ve kind of lost my taste for it… I think that would be due to my stomach issues I’ve been having. I actually have to the to the Gastroenterologist today. Oh fun…

Hi to everyone else.

Have a great Tuesday.
 
Carolyn---I was always like that too. I also wanted something to match most clothes! hehehe :) Hope your toe feels better!!!

cdimatt-- I don't wear shoes when I workout with Cathe....I am a barefoot girl!!! :)
