Trying to Fit Yoga In - Friday 9/21

[HipChick]

Hi everyone! I guess Lora didn't have time to start the thread this morning so I'll try to get us started. This morning, I started my workout with the BC Cardio Premix, stopping at the stretch, & then I did The Firm Time Crunch Workout, adding a few reps here & there (not enough biceps & other exercises in this one but hey, I guess that's why it's called time crunch - LOL). This is my go-to workout when I'm pressed for time & need to get in a decent circuit. Still no yoga to report but I just found out that my DH will probably work for half a day on Sunday so I plan to do a nice, long routine then. Even if he doesn't end up working, I still plan to fit some in then.

Lora - Hope your second week at work went well. I also hope you have a great Friday & have time to visit us later.

Christine - Thanks for the update about your DH last night. So glad & relieved he didn't have a heart attack or clot but it's still scary not knowing what happened. I hope y'all find out something soon & let us know... we're all thinking about you both. I also hope you enjoy your long yoga session today.

Jen - Hope you're not so sore today! You got in some killer workouts this week, though. I have that Lotte Berke & I really like it. Let me know what you think when you do it. Sending you & your DH good thoughts as you go for your IVF mini-consult today & hope you have time to visit us later.

Yve - Oh my goodness... so sorry you had insomnia last night. I can relate as I have that problem for at least one week out of each month. So you live in Canada... how cool (no, that wasn't a pun!). My DH & I are getting our passports because we plan to visit Niagara Falls sometime in the future & the hotel we want to stay in is on the Canada side.

My DH & I didn't go visit my FIL last night since he had such a bad day y-day. So I'm planning to take an extra long lunch so we can visit him & also get our passport paperwork done. I'll try to pop back in later & let you know how he's doing.

Better go for now. Lots to do today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

Hi ladies! In for a quick hello. Just got back from dr. and it was sorta' rushed, but that's what you get for a free consult. It was still a pretty good visit and more positive than I thought it would be. We have some other required appointments (marriage counseling, financial counseling) to get out of the way before we can really get started in the process, but it looks like we will start in January. I previewed the Lotte Berk DVD last night and the instructor kinda got on my nerves, so I sent it back with the mailman already today. I would have kept it if the exercises were really different from Bar Method, but they aren't and I think Burr is a little more inspiring than the younger chick on the Lotte's. I will still preview the others in the series (Muscle eats Fat, etc.), just to make sure I am not missing anything.

Lora-Miss you and your long posts!

Christine-Whew! What a relief about DH!

Kel-Thanks for starting the thread! You are getting in some kick @ss workouts yourself!

Yve-There are definite winters in Atlanta but last year was very mild. Jan and Feb are usually the coldest, but still nothing like what you have.

OK ladies, off to get settled on the couch and watch the Burn Notice season finale with DH. I will BBL to chat more.

Goodafternoon ladies,

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

Today I did 40 minutes on the eliptical - followed by a half hour walk outside.

Kel - LOL re the 'cool' comment. Niagara Falls is a neat little city to visit. DH and I went there often when we were dating. It's nice to just walk around - look at the Falls... there are nice restaurants - and of course - the two new Casinos. As well - there is the Botanical Gardens and the Butterfly Conservatory. If you do visit the Niagara area - I recommend visiting Niagara on the Lake. It is a strip of really quaint little shops - art galleries and restaurants... as well as home to the Shaw Festival if you enjoy the theatre. As well - the wineries and wine tours are amazing.
I hope that your FIL is feeling better... It must be so hard to see him vulnerable this way.

Jen - Glad that your appt went well. I told my DH that if we didn't conceive in 3 mos - we would go to a fertility specialist.

Lora - Hope you are having a good day.

Christine - How is your DH today? Did the doctor do any further testing?

Have a nice afternoon.

Yve

Back again! No WO for me yet. I may take another rest day, but then again, I have been known to workout out at 9 or 10 p.m. when I don't have to get up early the next day, so there's still some time left. Barnes and Noble was having a DVD sale (3 for $30) so I spent MORE money today on workout vids!!! This madness has to stop!!! I must admit, though, the more variety I have the more motivated I feel to do something every day.

Yve-Wow, you are going to go ahead to the specialist after three months! How long will it take you to get an appointment? I will keep my fingers crossed for you to conceive naturally! If things work out for both of us, we really might end up pregnant at the same time. I would be too excited about that! I am such a wuss when it comes to needles, injections, bloodwork, etc......all the things that make the IVF process what it is. I got a little freaked out while we were in the waiting room today. They really emphasized in the seminar that they "own you" during the process-your time becomes their time because everything has to stay on plan with your drugs, refills, etc or it can all be for nothing.

Kel-I have Cardio Fusion but I still have not done that one! Hope you had a nice visit with FIL and that he is doing better. I had high hopes for that Lotte Berk WO. I can't explain what exactly put me off about the instructor. It seemed like she rehearsed her lines in the mirror or something. Or she was overdoing on the enthusiasm a little bit. For some reason, the way she talked weirded me out in a psycho kind of way. DH and I were talking about it before he fell asleep and he said it weirded him out too....but then again watching a women's WO video with pelvic tilts probably would anyway! LOL!

Christine-Hope your DH is continuing to recover well and gets to go home soon.

Have a great night everyone! Hope all of you sleep well tonight! Insomnia be gone!
