Hey, trippers. Are you all sleeping in? Or perhaps in a chocolate bunnie induced stupor? I had a lovely, relaxing Easter and am back to work today. I'm also recommitted to eating cleaner and starting back up with the workouts. Unfortunatly, I have a couple evenings tied up with church related business, so my workouts will have to be short. I think I will do a week of CTX.

Blurb, I'm a parrothead, as you may have figured from my username. I love Jimmy Buffett's music and the tropical feeling I get whenever I listen to it. While I haven't ever made it to a concert, I am the proud owner of almost all of his CD's. Nothing lifts my spirits like listening to one of them.
 
Good morning all you Road Trippers! Hope you and yours had a Great Easter. First time to sign on the check-in...I'm Cynthia and live along the beautiful Gulf Coast in Long Beach - Mississippi. I've touched base with another RT Christina (weener) and we will be roomies and early birds. Neither of us post much but we do READ alot and are right there with you on the boards doing the RT Countdown...

Rotation: Mar '07 Intermediate mixed with eliptical/treadmill on run/walk days.

Blurb: I'm a parrothead too! I've just updated my PT site with a new
album which contains my workout room and Countdown Calendar for the RoadTrip:p (Note: Easter Day 124 - this Tue/10th 122 d exactly 4 mos)

Hi everybody!
Have been running errands all morning. Today was a rest day, so I got up and out early.

Robin-I'm doing CTX this week also starting tomorrow! No chocolate bunny stupor; but I do have a lemon cake hangover;-)

Cynthia-Nice to "meet" you. If you're ever in Ky can you stop by and organize my workout room? Just kidding, but your's is very nice!

Jennifer-I checked out the BFL books today at the bookstore. Didn't buy it today, but it looks great!

Randi-Great workout!

Hope everyone has a good day:D

Hi Fellow Road Trippers! This will be my first check-in, it's been crazy around here. My husband and I went on a vacation to Panama shortly after signing up for the road trip and I haven't had much free time since we got back.

So let me introduce myself:) My name is Jacque, I'm 37 years old, I live in Safford,AZ. I've been married 15 years and have three children; DS 14, DS 8, and DD 2. I'm really excited (and a little nervous) about meeting everyone in August.

Today's workout is: HSTA. I'm hoping to follow Cathe's April rotation. I haven't been successful yet in following one but I still have hope:) In fact I should get off this computer and get busy working out:p

Blurb- Step Heat was my first Cathe workout 12 years ago. I'm so excited to finally be meeting her!!

Hope to check-in later-
Jacque
 
Hello RT'ers!! Today I'm starting to clean up my diet. so far so good. I forgot what the "empty" stomach feel was like. I'm not starving myself, just not stuffing my face without giving it a second thought. With all the helpful support around here - I know I can improve on my eating.;)

This AM I did T/S cardio #3 and B&G leg blast topped off with SM on the ball.

Blurb- Haven't had a "real" vacation in 5 yrs. Although family goes camping in summer months.:) The '07 Cathe RT is just what I need.
 
Good Afternoon RTers!

Today I did IMAX1. I had not ever done this one before and it was good. The 10! blasts definitely got my HR up.

Blurb--I have been teaching 4 and 5 year olds for 15 years. I think I have already said this....sorry. Can't think of anything.

Have a great day!
Gin:)
 
Hello fellow roadtrippers!

Well, I managed to make it through easter without overindulging..yay!!!

I am going to start Cathe's April rotation today since I just got my gymstyle DVD's last week. I am so excited but a little scared...I watched the DVD's pretty much all the way through to see what I was in for and WOW!!!! They are no joke!!!

Blurb: I plucked my eyebrows so much in high school (those really skinny eyebrows were in style)that they stopped growing back. I eventually got tired of spending all my time with eyerow pencil that I got them tattooed on. (they are not included in my previous tattoo count of 7 :) ) Now I can swim without losing my brows!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi there, Roadtrippers!

I've been away for a few days and haven't had time to catch up on the past few days worth of posts yet. Looking forward to seeing everyone's blurbs!

I didn't have time to finish my workout yesterday before heading off to my parents house for Easter dinner. So I finished that up this morning - PLB stability ball work and TJ Fat Blaster. Today's scheduled workout is IMAX 3, which I know I won't have time to finish tonight. Hopefully I'll do the first 5 intervals; if not I'll do the whole thing tomorrow.

Blurb: I love to play water volleyball. DH and I string a net across the pool and bat the ball back and forth for hours at a time. We had to go out and buy water socks because we wore all the skin off our toes the first week we played a couple of years ago. We are both very competitive and not above playing dirty!
 
Hi everyone,

Just sitting down to the computer for the first time today...

Robin and Amy... like you, I have today recommitted to trying to clean my eating a little more that I have been doing lately. We can route for each other!

Cynthia... nice workout room! Mine is half finished, but when it's done it's going to be great( of course that will be with a little shove to my DH to get the job done!!)

Jenn... Happy 16th to your son... good luck with the cake!! LOL

Kara... hope your day is great too!

Jacque... I'm kinda new around here too. It will also be my first road trip, although I have visited Kathy's gym with my DH last fall for my annniversary. Looking forward to meeting you too!


Gin... I have the utmost respect for teachers! I don't know how you do it!!

Josie, I didn't know one could tattoo their brows! Cool, I learned something new today!

This morning I did B&G. aAAGH, the pain... it gets me every time. I am so not looking forward to the DOMS tomorrow. So worth it though, I know! Tonight I teach cardio/sculpt. It's a two workout day.

Yesterday I struggled with taking a rest day, but I forced myself to take it and I am happy to report that I did not gain 10 pounds by morning ( my biggest fear!!) I have to be nicer to my body and make myself take a day off here and there.

Blurb... My three boys ( two age 15 and one age 12) have a band that has been getting alot of attention, and locally and on the web have a great following. The name of it is " a Fragile Tomorrow". They have a CD out (they are signed to an independant label) and have been on several TV and radio shows in our area ( NY/tri state area)and will be on a show called Fearless TV which is a syndicated Fox Network show. I don't have an airdate yet, but it should be soon. They have already taped the show in NYC last week. They write all their own music and are pretty amazing considering their age and all they have been through in their lives ( Two older boys are two of triplets and have Cerebral Palsy, as their triplet brother passed away at the age of 6. Well, today they were played on a radio station in Chicago... it also broadcasts from the internet. Pretty exciting.Anyway, thought I would share that with all of you. If you want to heck them out, you can go to their Myspace ( myspace.com/afragiletomorrow) or their website (afragiletomorrow.com) They have some of their music plus clips of them playing live. Anyway, sorry my blurb is so long, just having a proud mommy moment!!

I promise tomorrow I will be brief! ( I'll try anyway)

Have a wonderful, healthy day!
 
Vicki - WOW!! I just went to your sons' website. I watched them sing "world of peace". I must say they seem much older than 15 and did you say 12? The singer with the dark hair and the other singer on his right, I figured were your boys. How about the drummer? It sounded really fantastic. So, you had triplets? I am sorry to hear about the CP and the death of your then 6 your old son. It sounds like you have been through alot. I am looking forward to meeting you in August.

I will be doing Scrambled Eggs, then B & G's before my karate class tonight. I think SE is one fo the best cardio workouts that Cathe has. It gets me nice and warmed up for B & G's.

Blurp - I am a hockey mom. I am sure I mentioned it before. Six of my seven boys are really into playing and watching hockey BIGTIME! My husband also plays hockey. It is a long season (7 months). My husband and two of my boys play all year round! They will be going to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Ontario when I go on the Road Trip! I guess we will have to buy another camera, since we both will be needing to take lots of pictures!

Hi Cheryl,

So, the drummer/singer and the lead vocalist/guitarist ( Dominic and Sean) are the 15 year olds ( my surviving triplets... they are identical believe it or not... one with long hair the other with a crew cut!) and the young guitarist is my 12 year old ( Brendan). The bass player is Shaun Rhodes, and he is a touring member of the group. He is a wonderful young man ( 20 yrs. old) and we have been so blessed to find such a talented musician and a great example of a person to play music with my boys! He plays with them when they play live gigs and will probably be on the next album, but he wasn't on the first one. We hired him after they had finished recording it.

Thanks for the kind words!! I look forward to meeting you too!
 
Hi gals. I'm going to try to join in again. I'm the worst person for a checkin because I generally can't check in until after my workday is over and everyone has already checked in and left.. My nickname should be TK the threadkiller. I'm trying to post 'early' today. Maybe someone will see it.

Keeping in the spirit of my CTX style rotation, this morning I did Step Blast combo 2,3 and challenge followed by Gym Style Back, then finished off with abs.

My blurb: I am a DIY gal. I love plumbing, wiring, refinishing furniture/hardwood floors, painting, sewing, and upholstery. Home Depot my favorite place to shop. My DH is handy too but I always get stuck with the jobs that take patience because he doesn't have any LOL.
 
Hi all - haven't checked in since last Thursday -- the weekend was so busy. Finally worked out today for first time since last Thursday -- did Cardio and Weights. It was my first stepping in over a week as I was trying to give my achilles tendon a rest last week. It felt pretty good. Can't remember who here reminded me about "toe, ball, heel" but I tried to pay attention to that more -- I think I've been doing step too much on my toes, maybe that's the problem!
Anyway, after no workouts and bad eating for 3 days, I'm trying to get back into things.

Vicki -- Just watched your sons' videos and thought they were great!! Took me back to high school when my husband (then boyfriend) was the guitarist in a rock band! He still plays now but no band -- just to mess around every once in a while. Tell your boys they are wonderful and let us know when the show will air!

Colleen
 
Hey all!

A big wave to TK! Don't worry, we'll all read your post.

Vicki, i haven't gotten a chance to watch your sons video yet, but you have every right to be proud. I brag about my kids whenever the opportunity arises. I thinkg it is our right!

This morning was HSTA. I really dislike all those leg presses. On the last couple of sets I didn't use any weight.

Blurb - let's see - I like following the family tree. I don't keep up with it the way many people do, but I found the ship that landed on Ellis island carrying my Grandmother and Grandfather from Russia. Very cool.

Hey fellow Road Trippers! I haven't checked in for a few days. But here I am.

Had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Did Drill Max cardio & upper body premix early in the day. And it just made the day that much better.

Today is a rest day for me and I have to say that I am enjoying it! I usually have a hard time on rest days, but I did B&G on Saturday and my lower half is still complaining a bit. Nothing better than having DOMS on a rest day. It's a constant reminder that you did actually workout and the world is not going to end!;-)

Blurb of the day...I believe that I am addicted to Coach handbags!:eek:
 
Hello all. I am posting late again (as usual).

I have not chencked in since Friday. Saturday was GS BSB and Step Blast. I had fun with SB...it has been awhile. Sunday was an (unplanned) rest day. Today was GS Legs followed by Lo Max. I need to work out extra hard to make up for all of the eating (and wine) I had over the past week:-(

Cynthia...Welcome!! I viewed the pictures of your workout room...I am jealous! I have to rearrange the living room to have enough space to workout!

Jenn...I would have had a hard time staying away from the ice cream cake--YUM!

Jacque...Welcome, and good luck with your first rotation!

Gin...IMAX 1 was one of my latest purchases. I loved IMAX 2&3 and decided to see how it all started. I have only done this workout as an add on (1st or 2nd 5 intervals at a time), but I look forward to doing the whole workout soon!!

Vicki...I can't wait to check out your sons' website. That sound so cool!! I am a big music lover.

TK...I am with you on the late check-ins!! Don't worry, people have responded to my late night posts:)

Colleen...I am glad you felt well enough to step tonight! I am always telling myself to land toe-ball-heel, and I think it really helps with my AC tendon. I think I tried to simulate some of my aerobic instructors that stayed up on thier toes and were very bouncy! I have since learned that is not the way to step:)

Melissa...I also love coach handbags. I always save money and buy them on our bianual trips to the beach (at an outlet store). They just put a store in close to where I live, so I had better keep my debit card hidden!

Have a wonderful day tomorrow!
