Good morning ladybugs

Im going to read yesterdays thread,be right back!

Well todays workout is going to be...drumroll....BM2 cardio premix(one of them)and then BBC-legs! I might even do some buts and guts-if ds allows it,LOL

I have a thanksgiving dinner tommorrow at my BIL's and don't really care about going,sigh! Oh well,atleast I get to eat some yummy food!}(

Stacey-a head cold???? Im sorry,those really stink! Im sending you some chicken noodle soup and some kleenex;-) I don't have the new series,it just didn't interest me,Im sorta new to cathe,I discovered her greatness about a year ago,so im still trying to catch-up on all her workouts?

A great big Hallo to Belinda,Cheryl,Lori,Lainie and Carrie-everybody have a great friday!
 
Good Morning Amelia and all who follow!!!!:) :) :)

Amelia** Sounds like you have a good workout planned for today! Enjoy your yummy supper! Even if you don't enjoy the company that much.

I don't know what the plans are here today. Im going to workout, I just don't know when. I guess whenever DS takes his nap and if I have nothing to do this afternoon, I may go looking for some new pants:) My mom and I went last week and she got 2 pairs of pants (I forgot to tell you guys this) I bought 2 pairs in size 3 and I still had room in them. I wanted to try on a size 1 but there was none there. I tried on the 0's but they were a little snug! I didn't want to buy a size nothing (haha) I just wanted to try them on. I highly doubt that I am an actual size 1 or 3, I just think the sizing was big.

Anyway..I will check back later. I guess the laptop will be gone with DH all day but apparently our other computer is ready for pick up. Maybe he will pick it up this afternoon.

Have a good friday everyone!
Lori:)

Hello gals!
Happy Friday:)

Thanks everyone for the get well wishes for my silly cold....man, hate it when I'm sick and trying to take care of sick kids! Thankfully, the weekend is upon us so I can hopefully get some rest and finally kick this thing. My workouts have really suffered:( :(

Amelia, how do you like BM2? I've gotten a lot of great feedback about that dvd and am excited to try it after santa comes;) Hope the Thanksgiving meal is good even if the company isn't!

Belinda, wow snow! It's hard to imagine it when it's going to be 65 where I live! Be sure to bundle up and have a good workout today.

Lori, outstanding about your weight loss and getting some new pants:) I seriously need to invest in a few new pairs myself! Hope you enjoy your long weekend and little Rylan is doing well.

Okay, sadly no workout plans for me, but I really will start reporting some soon!

Yes, Friday! Can I just restate that I LIVE for weekends. Ok, that is out of the way.

Today is going to be a nice day with w/o. We are doing X Stretch. It's alot of static stretching, and then I am going for a run. Well, I think I am going to run first and then stretch. Much nicer that way.

Stacey--sorry that you are still sick. How annoying. I hate being sick. Hopefully that will pass soon. On the 4DS, I have to be honest and say I am disappointed in them, but I may be in the minority here. I loved the last series, esp, LIC and BM2. I just feel cheated on the cardio portions, b/c I am so used to long, intense sessions, and that is what I want from Cathe. If it were me, I would save my $$ and get this new series that is coming up--sounds amazing.

Amelia--What kind of protein powder are you using? I think it was BBC, but what flavor? I am using some low-carb stuff from GNC, it's really good, even just mixed with water. Have a good Thanksgiving--don't splurge too much.:)

Lori-Yes! on the size 1~ I am such a 'label whore'. If a pair of pants fits great, but it says a higher size than I normally wear, I won't buy them. I get alot of self esteem from small size clothing. It's a mindset, makes you feel good. Have a good w/o today.

Belinda-love that shopping. Do they have good malls in Germany? Any American stores? Do they use the Euro? Have a nice easy day after all the hard work you have been doing.

Hi to Cheryl and Lainie! Will do more personals later.

Carrie
 
Hey girls
I just got done with BM2 and then bbc legs...great workout,Im am definitly pooped now!

Lori-good going on the pants size,you go girl! What a nice feeling!

Belinda-I haven't seen snow in two years(GA)! It would be nice to have a white christmas this year! Have a great weekend!

Carrie-Iam using BSN lean dessert,choclate pudding flavor,its pretty good! As a matter of fact,im fixing me a shake right now:9 I use 2%milk (unfortunatly I have to add a pk of sweetner:-() When did you start using your protein powder and have you seen any results from using it? This is my first official day of using protein powders! Im hoping they will help me lose more inches!I will know in a month when I measure agian!

hey to everybody else!:)bbl!
 
Hi everyone!

I'm a little late checking in today--been a bit busy. After dropping the kids at bus stop and nursery school I went out walking around the village. I went to the library, the little grocery store, and to 3 different boutiques. I bought some pants and a sweater. It's a nice warm snuggly sweater though DH will probably not like it. But hey, if he's going to keep the house thermostat at 65 degrees he's going to have to put up with me wearing unflattering but warm sweaters. ;)

I just picked up Ewan from nursery school and I'll have to get him lunch soon, so this might be short.

Yesterday I ended up doing the cardio only from the new 4DS:LIS. Then I did the lower body work from Squeeze and the abs from Amy's All Pump. I kind of wimped out on doing Amy's new Slo-Mo Legs workout. Today I plan to try learning Tracey Staehle's High Intensity Step Mix.

I'll come back later to do personals--gotta take care of the 2-year old!

I did the first half of High Intensity Step Mix and then I managed to squeeze in a shower before picking up Isaac. It's hard sometimes to get a decent shower in with these kids always underfoot!

Carrie, I do like the Slo-Mo--or what I've done or previewed of it so far. Tomorrow I'll be doing the Back & Shoulders part. Her core section is kind of unusual--nothing lying on your back--no crunches at all. It was tough, though. As for the Cathe workouts I don't do, there are way too many. Some of them I just haven't tried yet, like Terminator, Bootcamp, Hardcore Extreme, and Cardio Hits. Then there are some I've tried but only once or so, like a couple workouts from the Classics (bit too dated), Circuit Max, CTX, Power Hour, Slow & Heavy, HSTA, and all the Imaxes (though I liked Imax3 the best--most likely to keep that one). Wow, now that I've written all that down it looks like I waste a lot of my workouts!

Stacey, sorry to hear you're still struggling with the cold. I'm feeling better most of the time, but still feel sick at night--maybe it's now just my allergies. Since I have allergies all the time sometimes it's hard to tell when a cold ends.

Amelia, sounds like you had a great workout today! I'll bet you're tired now!

Lori, how cool with the tiny sizes! I'm so happy to be in 6's I'd probably faint dead away if I lost enough weight to even get a thigh into 0's!

Hello to Cheryl, Belinda, Cathy!

Hey Chickies! Not sure anyone will read this tonight but Ill write it anyway.
DH and I had KFC tonight for supper and my stomach is a hurting unit! I don't know if its b/c i haven't eaten it in a long time or just b/c of the fact of what it is. Either way..hope it goes away soon.

I did a 8.5 mile run on my TM today. I didn't know if it would last the whole time cause its on its way out. Im kinda thinking Santa will bring me another one for Christmas:)

Belinda** Your weather and our weather is alot alike, I think. According to the people I have met from Germany. We have had snow but it didn't last to long.

Carrie** Funny on the label whore thing:)You silly gal!

Stacy** Hope the cold disappears soon.Then you can get back to your workouts again. How do you fit them in with all the kiddies you have??? Im intrigued!

Amelia** Good job on the workout.

Cheryl** come out, come out, wherever you are:)

Laine** Goody on the new clothes. I had to chuckle when I read your post about DH and the heat.LOL Thats it! To bad for him, Id say. And size 6 is good, thats noth'in to sneeze at.

So I never did get very far today but Im thinking about running out now to get some new jeans. I have to check with DH first to see what his plans are.

Lori:)
 
Hi All!

Okay, so finally couldn't take the head cold any more and my head was killing me, tons of pressure. Went to the doctor and took my dd with me. Turns out I have a sinus infection AND strep throat. And get this part, all of my kids have strep too! The doctor checked my dd while she was there, then had me bring my other two kids in and both are positive for strep. So, our whole family is on a 10 day course of anibiotics (even my hubby who didn't actually have his throat looked at today, but the doc thinks he better have some meds too as there is a great chance he would get it if he doesn't already).

Really, I am not used to all this illness, and would much rather talk about something happy, like, say, workouts!! Okay, I'm going to wait to check back in until Monday and by then should be able to do a workout and have something more interesting to report. Phew:(

Lori- it can be a challenge to fit workouts in with my 3, however, I'm very motivated and can usually fit one in either when Ryan is taking his morning nap and the kids are at school, or at night after the kids go to bed (usually around 8pm and oddly I have good energy then).

Have a great weekend everyone;)
