Mylrea.....I told you....a lot. But surprisingly enough, I really got good deals on most of them thru
Amazon and sellers thru Amazon, Collage Video, and Mary at Total Fitness DVDs, who, by the way, is a
Wonderful lady!

Now, I'm tired, gotta take a break! :)
 
Hi ladies ,

Today was a leisurely walk through a gun show for just over 2 hours but I only accounted for about 100 minutes worth of walking since we stopped at the end and were talking to a gun safe guy for at least 20 minutes.

Snowing here but not laying on the roads, we aren't home , the gun show is in Harrisburg.

Have a great day and workout!![emoji3]

Hey Annette, I think the snow is over now, it didn't lay on the street or my driveway/sidewalk either, I did have to
Shovel my deck, it's wooden and snow always lays on it :(. Too early for shovel max!

I got in 2 shorter workouts today, a Step Kickbox Circuit mix and a blender FitTower Back, Biceps, & Shoulders
Workout. That is probably it for today..gotta check out my last 2 DVDs that arrived today. :)
 
Hi Everyone,

I took a rest day yesterday. Today I did a cathe live for upper body - really good. Love Cathe! I added on a couple of tabata rounds from daily burn and bob harper.

we have not had snow yet. a few flurries but barely. it's a bit chilly today.

i've been very busy with my business. it has really picked up in the last two months (it has always been steady) so I have been working thursday/friday evgs after work and all days saturdays. it's a lot.

good to see some of us getting in a workout today. we are out to dinner with friends from the neighbourhood tonight. see you all tomorrow.
 
Have fun Ceci! I got a pleasant surprise with my DVDs today's. There had been another Body Bar one that I
Started to order, Sport Zone, but decided not too, already ordered enough!! Anyway, when I opened the package
From the Amazon seller that I got the Deep Definition workout from, and was looking at the cover, etc. it said
Besides Deep Definition, the DVD contained a bonus workout on it, the Sport Zone workout!!!! How awesome &
Weird is that? I did the happy dance!
 
Whoa, haven't checked in in over a week. We are moving ...started on Thurs & Fri and today also. Have been also fighting the Canada Post deadline to get a package sent to my family. All this on 9 hours of sleep weekly has been a dog's breakfast! lol. Tomorrow is my birthday where I'll be starting on my final year in my thirties ....I turn 39. : ) My wish this year is for sleep & more energy!! Tonight is my first night in the new place, so sleep I will!! Yay! Think I got in a deadlift workout last week but that has been all. Just too busy/tired etc.
I will also catch up with all soon!! ((Peg)) so very sorry for your stress with the holidays. I know it will certainly be a tough one for you this year. Everyone sounds quite busy! Wow, snow huh? We have it on the mountains here but it's just been chilly below. We are considering going out of town for the holidays (somewhere pretty local) if we have any money left! lol. We ended up having to pay rent at two spots for two months. couldn't find any way around it. Anyone else going anywhere? Henriette, little Mick has taken over your workout space?! LOL.
 
Hi everyone! Linda you got some great workouts. You’re going to be busy for a while. It’s like Christmas every day! I’m happy for you because people like us get super excited about sweating and soreness ...am I right?!

Annette do you own guns? You seam to go to a lot of gun shows. I’ve never been to one.

Hi Siobhan, congrats on your business growing. You’ve worked really hard so enjoy the rewards.

Elsie! We missed you. Are you ok? Moving because of the noise? That’s a workout in itself. I’m glad you’ll start getting some sleep! Enjoy. Menopause has taken a decent nights sleep away from me, you’re still young at 39. Don’t worry.

Henriette, keeping busy? Just kidding. I think ANYthing you accomplish with having a newborn is commendable. Remember how fast time flies and enjoy the quiet moments.

Hi Missy. I’m praying things turn around for you soon. Keep your chin up.

QOTD, yes we just had a snow storm today. Kind of a dud though as we only got about an inch or so.

Today I did Kelly Coffey Meyers new set. Disc 1 had Cardio core that was great and then Upper body super sets which was also nice. I might do another Yvette Bachman tomorrow. I love what I’ve done so far of hers. See you tomorrow.

Peg,

My husband owns all the guns and long guns in the house (which is a healthy number). Going to gun shows is a way to spend time with each other and they do have some jewelry vendors and other decorative things you can buy. My youngest son is into owls and his 21st birthday is next Wednesday so I bought him a hand carved small water buffalo tusk owl, a dying art according to the vendor. It was priced right.

Hi ladies,

Saturday was a rest day for me... I didn't really rest as Magnus had an away game and with Mick being fussy I was better off taking him rather than leaving him alone with with dad for so long. Whenever I have taken Mick to a game he has been really good and no trouble at all. Just getting ready to leave the house with a little one can feel like a whole workout and takes longer than expected.

I had hoped to go for a walk with Mick while the big boys got changed and did their warm up, but it was pouring down and cold! There was snow in some parts of the Netherlands yesterday, but not where we were. Today it's supposed to snow here... first they said during the night and now it's changed to this morning.

Siobhan - congrats on all the extra work. You must be real good!

Elsie - so happy for you that you have moved and will finally get sleep. BTW, Mick hasn't taken over my workout room... I have just started working out more in the living room as he often naps downstairs during the day. I at looking to get a travel cot for my workout room so he can be close to me, but I also still have some moving boxes in there that are taking up floor space from when we had to empty my office upstairs to make room for my boyfriend's daughter moving in with us at the end of the summer. A bunch of chores, but with a baby what I get around to doing is limited besides the essentials like his feeds, changes, baths and taking care of the family making sure we have dinner in the house and Magnus gets to basketball on time. When I finally have a bit of time to do something else, I tend to prioritize a workout above random clean up chores in cupboards and boxes etc.

Peg - you are so lucky you have the new KCM. Keep us posted on how it is.

Linda - new dvds and bonus workouts really can make your day, huh? I can't wait to receive my Black Friday deals from Cathe... I really went all out. I have also added a few dvds to my collection from Amazon incl. Suzanne Bowen rebounder workout and I don't even own a rebounder yet. I was considering getting myself one for xmas, but I am not really ready for that much jumping so soon after having a baby, so I think I will postpone it.

How many of you girls have a Bosu ball? That's another toy that I have had on my wish list for years and I noticed Yvette Bachman has some Bosu workouts on YouTube.

Hey Henriette, you are a busy young lady ! But it sounds like you have it all under control. Good for you.

A rebounder is a lot of fun, I just have an Urban Rebounder, which a lot of people think is jarring and too firm, but, with nothing to
compare it too, I have always liked mine, I don't think it's jarring at all and I like the firmer bounce in order to keep up with some
of the rebounder workouts.

I have a bosu too, but gosh, I haven't used it for quite sometime....I'll have to look up the bosu workouts on YouTube and see if I can
pull it out and use it again. I also have a Step 360 which I might like better than the bosu, although I haven't used it for sometime
either.
 
Happy Birthday Elsie! [emoji512][emoji255]
I hope you are having a great and quiet day and that your last year in your 40s will be a good one!

Yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELSIE, please enjoy your day...:)

I did a stability ball total body workout this AM, using Body bar, and weights, that was fun...getting ready to
Warm up the car and head to Walmart and Food Lion. No snow today, but it's chilly and windy, but the sun
Is shining:)

My plans are for another short workout this afternoon, a blender mix of warmups with weights and barbell.
Have a good day everybody!
 
Hi everyone! Happy Birthday Elsie!! It’s going to be a great year for you! I hope you have a wonderful day doing whatever makes you happy.

Linda, I got a BOSU this summer. I’m not sure what prompted me to get it but I’m enjoying it. It can really hit the lower body and core nicely. I have a few Mindy Mylrea that use it but good grief her stuff can be tough!

Henriette I can remember scrambling to leave the house with a baby and managed to get everything then.....get the baby too! It’s work. It sounds like you have a very busy life as is. I hope everyone is sharing all the household chores because that’s a lot to deal with.

Annette, Missy and Siobhan I hope you’re all well.

Today I did another YouTube of Yvette Bachman. It was HiiT, Cardio core with weights and BOSU. I couldn’t hang.....I fizzled out at the 55 minute mark. The whole thing was 1hr 10 min. She has some great workouts. I have to do something intermediate tomorrow.
 
Happy Birthday Elsie!![emoji513][emoji512][emoji324][emoji322]!!Have a great day and workout!!

Rest day here!

Aww, thanks for the birthday wishes gals! : ) Yes, much quieter day than in the other place!!!! I did some iyengar yoga this morning & noticed I am a lot stiffer at 39 than I was at 30! Ah well, something I will need to work on! lol.
Great workouts and well earned rests! Missy, so sorry to read that the internships didn't work out. Sending you loads of lucky job seeking vibes!! Yes, I think much of it is luck and making the right connections.
Hoping to have my workout stuff moved here in the few days. Yes, Peg, we had to move due to the overnight noise. It was not due to end till March 2018. I just couldn't handle it anymore and I need to work. I've missed too much work.

Oh, I see you guys have been working out with Yvette Bachman! I tried a few awhile back ..... the sounds wasn't great, but I see she has improved upon it! I will definitely be getting back to her. As well as I bought Linda Wooldridge's drop sets. They look incredible!!!
