Finally Back... SO easy to get sidetracked once DH rolls out of bed! He's got to work 1/2 day then is going to a Fly Fishing Show w/ his buds so I have house to myself all day! Ya'll know what that means- Workout Marathon!!
Waking up without a Tony/P90X plan is weighing heavy on my mind.. Silly I know with a closet of great DVDs... I keep telling myself to just pick up the heavy weights and go for it as I have done the past 13 weeks...Forget the pace of instructor.Just do what I have learned and just use tapes as a guide for the exercise not the pace/reps. Funny how leery I am of trying to be disciplined enough to do this... I may quickly have to change my plan to Master Series Strength & Slow Heavy if I can’t focus and stick with plan! I am doing Chest & Shoulders today. Will be using All Pump (Amy bento) + Oxy mag + BM2 to give them a good solid hours worth. Will be using a log sheet and alternating chest/shoulder. I shall report later how this start/pause will work… for the first time I see a reason for a 5 disc player! I am also doing the step segments from BM2 to warm up a bit.
Gidget & Belinda: AWESOME way both of you got yourselves motivated and did terrific workouts yesterday! Thats really whats it all about isnt it.. just move beyond the I dont wannas & I dont have time garbage and just do it! ^^^ 5 to both you ladies!
Jane: I can tell by your post you are still in major stress mode - as well you should be. I wish I could help you in some way but really you just have to first deal with getting DS home then work through your emotional stuff. When losing a child smacks you in the face like that I am sure it is one of lifes most traumatic events. I think you were smart not going to see his vehicle. I was in a Mac Truck accident at the age of 17 and I sure wish I had never gone to see my car. I was absolutely paralyzed after seeing it. The nightmares became all too real for many years. The "UP" side of it all tho was that I learned that there must be a higher power that has greater plans for life than I can foresee. It just wasnt my time and even the EMS people said NO WAY this girl is alive. My life changed courses that day as I'm sure your DS's will as well.You and your family are in my prayers & thoughts today.
AMY: LOWER THAT DARN STEP! :+ You are makin me look REALLY bad here! You know I cant get thru warmups on 8" let alone the entire workout!!!! Amazing woman - simply amazing. I think that next year you & Cheryl will be running that race & I'll be waiting at the finish line with a cocktail! :+
Cheryl / Amy: So are we really going to try and do this race next year in Florida? If so we need to get Traci ready... I'll have to start a training program and check in about it daily. If I could only find my 6 month Training program from my last marathon... I'm sure I tossed it tho. Anyway... can ya tell I'm thinking real hard about this now?
Happy Happy Saturday to all! Will BBL:7

Good Morning, Campers!!
Yes, we got busy all of the sudden right at the end of the shift....OF COURSE!!! Not super bad, I was still able to leave on time, but it always seems that everything must be done right at the end.
Traci- I find it interesting that right at the end of P90X, you all about the finishing and now that you have officially graduated, it sounds like you feel like you are working without a safety net. I am sure that you will do awesome on your own, if nothing else, you learned what your body responds to best and how to work that to your advantage. Don't worry and I hope that the start/stop won't be too bad. I don't do a lot of things on the 8" step, but when I can, I do just because I am taller by several inches and that makes a HUGE difference!
Jane- Still praying, here!!!
Cheryl/Traci- I'm game for next year if you are. There's a co-worker of mine that wants to do the run next year as well. I have never been motivated to run a marathon or anything like that, but I think that this 15K is just about right for me.
Cheryl- Cool clip!! Nadia is gorgeous!!! Now I see, also where she got it from (mom!!!).
Oh, before I forget, I emailed Ms Reno just to thank her for the book as well as to ask her a question regarding how soon changes are seen often times after you start eating clean. I was just curious, that's all.
I am off to bed, I hope that you all have a good day. Lori- I hope that your arm feels better!

Morning everyone!
Jane - more prayers and {{{{{HUGS}}}}} going your way! As Traci said, right now you have to focus on getting through what needs to be done - get him home and started on recovery. I'm sure that once the craziness calms down, you'll be overwhelmed with the emotional gravity of it all, but thank goodness God was watching over him. I just can't begin to imagine the stress and emotional roller coaster you're on right now. Lots of love and prayers!!!
How's this for a belated Xmas present - DH & I were talking over coffee. I told him that I really want to look into buying a treadmill because it's the ONLY thing I use at the gym. It just doesn't make sense to pay for a membership when I could just buy a TM and use it whenever I feel like without having to trudge out to the gym. We started talking about where to put it and decided that the best idea would be to turn the guest room into an exercise room!! We rarely get overnight guests (maybe once a year) and our house is large enough we have plenty of other places to put them. So I'm going to get my very own room just to workout in!!!! Am I spoiled or what!!
OK - gots lots to do today so I really should get off my duff and get moving. Still haven't decided whether today will be Plyometrics or CC#4. Decisions, decisions...
Hope everyone has an awesome Saturday!!!!

Gooood Mooooorning!
Running partner isn't feeling well today and cancelled so I crawled back in bed for another hour and a half. Of course! ;-) }( }(
Now I'm going to do Drill Max. Mixing up Cathe's rotation a bit because I'll be in S.F. at the RSA trade show with 2 of my clients from Mon nite to Thurs. morning. Only one city so it won't be so bad, and I have my trusty SS DVD's to take with me (as well as probably running on the TM at the hotel).
Traci, what a fun day! A workout marathon - I love it!!! Slow and Heavy sounds like a good challenge. I consider them the most challenging weight workouts Cathe does. Let us know how it goes.
Yes, I am serious about this race idea for next Feb. Wouldn't it be fun? Either that or a Cathe road trip together is definitely in the cards.
Amy, girl, get some sleep! I hope you are set for a wonderful weekend. We all hope you are located well away from those terrible tornadoes!! I've been thinking about you while I've been watching the news.
Claude, you know my vote on the treadmill. I don't know how I'd live without mine. Make sure you get a good one! This year I have come to really appreciate the pre-programs. I also learned from the PT not to ever run on less than 1.5-2% incline to lesson the impact on my knees and that has made a world of difference. I give you a big yes vote on the TM.
Thanks for the compliment on my beautiful daughter. I think you all know that she is adopted from Russia? So I can't take credit for her beautiful looks. We have three birth sons (grown) and also a little boy adopted from Russia. He lives primarily with my ex.
Well, on to Drill Max! Have a wonderful morning, everyone!!

Thank you so much everyone for your prayers. DS may not get to come home again today. We are waiting for Physical Therapy to come in and walk him. He is still in significant pain but is on pain medicine by mouth now instead of IV and he is holding out over the four hour period it is allowed. He is trying to come out of the fog. We are going down there this afternoon hopefully to bring him home. It will depend on how well he does with physical therapy.
My emotional eating has run rampant these past two days as is my norm. I'm going to work out before getting ready to go to Charlotte. Maybe I can get a handle on this. Working out seems to curb my tendencies to overindulge.
I'll keep you posted on DS.

Jane, you're entitled to run a little rampant right now. It is fulfilling a need. There will be plenty of time to work out later. Thanks for keeping us posted.
Well, was still tired even after sleeping in. Did 30 minute of Drill Max and then 30 minutes on the Treadmill, level 9. Felt like I got in a decent workout but would have liked to have done more. Hopefully tomorrow!
xoxoxo,

Oh today was quite a workout… Warmed up with BM2 Step combos and then worked Chest & Shoulders from BM2 + Amy Bentos All Pump. What a burn I have going on right now! As great as my muscles feel I am truly in a state of saddness missing my Tony Horton! Sounds silly but he motivates me to be stronger more than any instructor. The change will be good tho and I shall perservere!
Amy: very eloquent way you stated how I feel… “Working without a safety net”. BINGO! Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for saying that about race being a 15K… somehow I had it in my mind it was a Marathon.. was getting ready to go start training TODAY! I’m game girls. LOL on email to Ms Reno… I was HOPING you’d ask why we cant have peanut butter? Lol Over at X’ers it’s a big deal!
Claude: Always so good to see you and catch up! What a wonderful man you have there! I am so happy/jealous!! I’d love to toss the bed in guest room and convert.. I may get my wish if I purchase any more equipment as its all in our bedroom! Enjoy whatever workout you decide to go for! Hey- I can sell you my TM! Shipping could be costly tho so maybe I’ll drive it to you!
Cheryl: This sleeping extra is getting to be a habit now! That’s fabulous especially since you’ll be on the road next week.. That always interrupted my sleep patterns. I have Firm it up on my schedule for this coming week so we can wave as we workout! Oh my on the Road Trip! I was just thinking that I’d never go unless a group of buddies went.. Are you planning on going if there’s one in 07? Nice job on the 60 minute workout! Maybe that’s a key to your astounding success? You always do a bit of this and a bit of that… hmmmmmm
Jane: Thanks for the update.. I’m sure you are busy busy busy today! He must be in pretty bad shape if a hospital in 2007 isnt pushing him out the door! Maybe another day or two would be good for him. On your eating….SO WHAT! You are a mom going thru terrible things right now… Food can always be reeled back in when its over. Just be sure and eat some things that will help your body feel better during the stress.
Ok ladies- Hope Lori is feeling better today and having fun , Hope Gidget, Kali, & Belinda are having a fabulous Saturday as well.

Hi everyone....Thank you all for thinking about me today. I did have fun, and when we went, the weather was bad, when we came home, it was a blizzard warning. I did not drive, and Hope did such a great job, but it was nerve-wracking. I get scared in blowing snow like that, and Lansing is 1 1/2 hours from here. This is supposed to continue on thru tomorrow. I am not leaving my house again till it is over!!!
My arm is way better today. The swelling is gone, and it does not hurt.
I got up today at 5 am and did Butt & Guts. When I do my workout so early in the morning like that, it is harder for me than when I do it later in the morning, after coffee. I love coffee!!!
Talk to you tomorrow.....My thoughts and prayers are with you Jane.

Hi again, everyone!
LoriSax, so glad your day went well. B&G is quite the workout to get up early for. Glad you got it in.
Traci, wow, what a workout!! That was awesome. Great use of a Saturday, that's for sure! If there's a road trip in 07, I am seriously tempted. We'd have to go together as buddies. Let's all go, eh? Amy, if you go, you've gotta join us, girl!!
I am partied out. Nadia's 15th b-day is today... first we had lunch with Nadia's step mom #2 (ex husband's ex #3 in progress) and shopped with her at the mall. Nadia chose 6 cute t-shirts with her b-day money, shoes, and some bras. Then we picked up 2 of her girlfriends, a DVD move and ice cream cake and came back home, where 5 more girls joined the fun. The party is still rolling.
I did break down and have a small piece of the ice cream cake. Yum.
Had to break away and run to the grocery store to be prepared for the big family dinner tomorrow. Shish-ka-bobs and cheesy potatoes and another smaller ice cream cake. This weekend could be deadly! Can't miss any workouts, and trying to work the calories in...
I'm pooped! Ready for another sleep in tomorrow morning followed by an extra good workout
Have a great night, everyone!!

Cheryl- WOW! I hope that the party went well!! It sounds like a lot of fun! Oh, and ice cream cake???? Yumm-0~~~!
Traci- What a marathon!!! You did awesome, girl!!
Lori- I am glad that your trip went safely. I am also glad that your arm is better!
Claude- Way cool on the workout room and the treadmill!! I am not a TM kind of gal, but that's super cool for those that are!!! I love my Monster. DH has already decreed that there will be a workout room in the basement of our next house (whenever we move).
Jane- Lots of hugs!!! While he's in the hospital is the time to rest up and take care of yourself. You need to save your strength for when DH is home so you can help out then! I know that it sounds like you are abadoning them at the hospital by not staying, but now's the time to save up the energy because he's well taken care of!!! I had to send a mom home tonight because she wanted to sleep in the waiting room (RIGHT!!!.... NOT!) while her daughter (who's doing great, BTW) is in the ICU. I kept stressing that she will need to eat and take care of herself while her daughter is here because she won't get a break when the daughter is discharged.
Well, tonight I squeaked out Step, Jump, and Pump. Okay, I really DON'T like that workout!!! I can't stand Hi/Lo!!! I just couldn't get into it!!! Oh, well, it's over and I can hope that it's not on the rotation again this month! I know that I wouldn't have bought it, but Step Blast is on it and I love SB!!!
Road Trip '07? I am SO there!!! I will even put my vacation request in MONTHS in advance to go there...Heck, I'll even work extra (something I DON'T do) to pay for the trip!!!
I think that tomorrow's going to be a CC Monster workout. Since I don't have an MP3 player, I burned my CC downloads to a CD until they sent me the original. Anyway, I was talking about the CC program and a co-worker said that his wife may enjoy them because she does the TM all the time. Anyway, I lent my burned copies to them to see if she likes them then she can purchase them herself. We'll see if there's another convert!
