Trying to Fit Yoga In for Thurs July 5

[lorajc]

Morning Ladies-

This morning I did Cardio Coach 2 on the TM and Bike followed by Jillian's Kickbox Cardio. I'm still not at normal capacity with my strength and did fall behind a bit with my HR but not quite as bad as the last 2 days. Cardio with c/d and stretch was 1 hour 7" and I burned 418 calories. I then did a few extra hamstring stretches and then I did Ravi & Ana's Yoga Cleanse - Love Your Liver (between the bad food yesterday and the recent medication I've been taking....I figured I needed it).

I need advice on how to "sweeten up" the hubbie to get something i really want. Buckcherry is playing at the Palms Casino in Vegas on 8-4 and since I'll be getting a job the end of the month and this is my last chance for a vacation, I want to go to Vegas and see the show while we're there. We have no money saved and would have to charge it. I also have some money stashed around here that I told DH I'd lend to him until he could pay me back....but he's not really considering it yet. Any ideas....besides the obvious one!! LOL. Our stove doesn't work so I can't cook! Maybe I should go to Mom's and bake???? although, we're trying to watch our diets.....I'm baffled.

Jen - the Firm workouts are available thru Firmdirect.com now. They also just came out with an extra multipack with 5 more workouts....which of course I had to order. If you get them, you have to tell me what you think of Annie's physique. She's the one that's the fitness competitor. Very inspiring. I noticed there is one other new instructor that is ripped...but I'm not sure I know her name yet. I only saw her pic when looking at the website. Check it out and see what I'm talking about. ARe you going to get them.

Jen - do you like rock? If so - have you heard that Incubus song "Dig" yet? It's a bit slower than I usually like but I love the lyrics. Maybe you can download it and see what you think? They are one of the bands I really LOVE the stuff they play on the radio, but every time I buy an album, I don't like anything else on it. I managed to go to bed at 9:00 ...which is early for me. I had to take some Calms Forte to fall asleep, but I did. I thought maybe it would help with cardio...but it only helped slightly. I'm still dragging. Ravi does say that you'll feel sluggish if your liver is overtaxed....so mabye the yoga cleanse I did today will help also. Have you had a chance to look at Jillian's book at Amazon? I want a partner to do the circuits with!!

Kel - are you around today???

Have a great day ladies. I've got grocery shopping to do.


Have great workouts ladies.

Hi ladies!

No time to log on yesterday but I'm back today. We got a day off our regular jobs but we turned it into a day of work for us. Since we needed to get on the road sort of early, I started off with a short workout - Push Pull. I don't do that one as often as the others but I really enjoyed the change of pace... & I'm feeling some DOMS today too! This morning, I did the 42 minute premix on Cardio Fusion. I hadn't done that one in awhile so I really enjoyed it... even though it's cardio. No yoga to report, although I sure could use some. I hope to fit some in next week.

Jen - I didn't realize you were going to an Atlanta meetup for Cathe fans. How cool! Hope you have fun. You were asking about Amy Bento & I have her Hi/Lo Extreme & really like it. I haven't tried any of her strength or circuit workouts so let me know what you think if you decide to try one.

Lora - I'm planning to pick up an MP3 player after work today & then download some Cardio Coaches. Which ones are your favorites? What about iTreads? Do you have any & like them? I saw where your DH has agreed to take you to Vegas on the Hardcore thread. How exciting! You'll have a blast, I'm sure.

Well, I better get back to work for now. Hope you ladies have a nice afternoon & I'll check back later if I can.

Hi ladies! Tonight's WO was jogging/walking alternating at each song for 1 1/2 hours. I am really enjoying the park across from my house and I am actually enjoying the cardio, too. It will be interesting to see if the extended cardio will make a difference with my weigh-in tomorrow. I was going to try to jog to every two songs today, but then thought...whoa...what the he(( are you thinking...you just started doing this last week...chill out and build up to it. LOL!

Lora-Wow they added more workouts to that Firm package! Good grief! Now I really don't know what to do. I had pretty much just decided to forgo them and preorder the new Cathes in the next couple of weeks. What do you think of the workouts? Have you done them all yet? Some people were complaining about them on the OD board, but I still think I would like them. Are you seriously going to Vegas again? That is COOL! So what job do you have starting soon? That's exciting news! I do like rock music, but not hard rock-more along the lines of the more mainstream stuff-U2, Bon Jovi (old stuff not the new stuff)-I am sure you are cracking up at this. I will check out the Incubus song though and give it a listen.

Kel-Push/Pull, that's a goodie! Congrats on the DOMS! I have Cardio Fusion but still have not done it. I better get crackin'! I will be behind once the new ones come out. Are you going to preorder? Yep, I will be trying to meet up with the Atlanta girls at the end of July. I think it will be really neat to meet them in person and be able to get first hand accounts of the Road Trip from them once they get back and there is another get-together. I am so jealous of those that are going! I think that someone will probably take pictures too so that we can post them on the forums. I thought it was neat to see pics of the group that met in New York.

So, are either of you ladies Harry Potter fans? I can't wait until the book and the movie come out this month!

Have a great night!

Jen

Jen - the Incubus song is a slower song with really good lyrics (IMO). Check it out. I think you'll like it. and nooooooooo, I'm not cracking up. To each his own. I know not every one likes the hardcore rock like me. I've always been a rocker chick!! I have only done the Firm Cardio's. You know me, variety is the spice of life and I have a pretty open mind. I like them so far. Hey, check out the Hardcore thread. I posted about that KungFu Kickbox (Acacia production) that I just got. I'm doing a Jillian circuit out of the book tomorrow and maybe I'll add a part of that Kickbox on. Looks really good. I'll keep you posted on the Firms. I also posted about BrainMuscle over at Hardcore.

Yes, going to Vegas again. Going to the Bad Boys of Rock Concert Hinder, Buckcherry and Papa Roach. I love Buckcherry (of course) and Hinder....so I'm psyched!!! It's in the Palms Casino Pearl Concert Hall (small venue like the HardRock). I can't believe I talked the DH into it. I DON"T have any job lined up! I just know I'll have to be either working at the mall, grocery store or Temping since my unemployment is up at the end of this month. I'm hoping everything falls into place some way ...and some how .....by God's Grace and a major miracle! That would be the best. Anyway, now that I've forked over all of my stashed cash to the DH for our trip........(I did save a couple hundred for spending), I want to get a new shirt for the concert and I really shouldn't. I'm thinking about wearing that Sinful metallic Skull shirt I have on in my avatar. That's the shirt I wore the first time I saw them........or I dunno......I wish I had money to go buy a new shirt from Buckle or Ocean Pacific....(my 2 favorite stores). The first place I'll apply out at the Mall here is Buckle. .....I could definitely sell those clothes....cuz they rock. I love the Sinful brand they carry. Well, I better get to bed. I'm a bit wound up....so I better take some Calms Forte. I'll see you ladies in the AM.

Hi Kel - sorry -- didn't have time to read all of your post yet, but I'll catch you in the AM.
