Good Morning Lazies!:) :) Opps, I mean ladies;)

Surprised to see that I am the first one around today. Traci mustbe lying in bed with Dh and chatting again today...or dare we say it....IS SHE ASLEEP?:) No..can't be that:)

DS was up a few times again last night and I think he as the cold. My only hope is that DH had him downstairs last night where the dogs and the woodstove is and he sometimes gets stuffed up after he has been down there. I am now waiting for him to wake up to see if he as the cold.Im not sure we will be going anywhere today and this coffee that I am drinking isn't helping:-( We are suppose to have Baby group today and Burps this afternoon but Im not sure we will be going.

I am seriously thinking of trying him on cereal. I know its suppose to be another month yet but I really want him to start sleeping more at night.

Anyway, one good thing about not going out today is I will get a workout in...but to tell you the truth I would rather go out and socialize. I have major DOMS in my legs,butt and thighs today! Its a nice feeling!

Lori:)
 
good morning!!!lori, i guess it is just you and me:) wait let me see
WAKE UP EVERYONE!! today is a beautiful day and i am feeling plyox today. i still have doms from monday and i am loving it. i saw my mom last night and she was alert for a few minutes. i did get the opportunity to ask her where she wants to love and she chose to go home. she only lives 30 minutes away so that is ok by me!!

lori: i started my 1st ds on cereal at 9 weeks and my 2nd at 5 months. both are ok. losing sleep is so hard on your body but you have such amazing endurance. i admire your workouts!!:)

i will be back
 
i am back again...i was reading yesterdays post and i must say that i like myself better at 33 then i did at 23. some people have such a hard time getting older but boy i think women just get better. there is such a sense of confidence and security that we can only get through life experience and i think that is beautiful :) oh and by the way...i did eat the cheeseburger:) jumping into plyo x:eek: i will be back
 
Good Morning :)

Gidget: I hope the little one does not have a cold I hate it when they caught colds at that age, it use to make me cry when my son’s had colds ;( I’d start him with 1 tbsp of cereal in his milk he'd sleep better. I remember when I was breast feeding oh my, that was way back in the year 1912 lol :+ seriously tho, my son would never get full off my milk and he’d never sleep every hour I was feeding him. I put him on baby formula, it helped. Now get your workout going:)

No sleep for me last night, even with me taking prescription medication. I tossed and turned till 12am before falling asleep. My alarm clock went off never even heard it. I woke up at 5:15 I was surprised, I was like huh! Did I set my clock.

Work out last night, Leg & Glutes X :9 when ever I do L&G again, it’s going to always be Xtreme:9 great workout. I really enjoyed it. Basically, all I did was repeat, each cycle except the floor work, nicely put together.

This morning workout, S&H triceps, didn’t want to do anything else. Tonight, Imax2 and more triceps work :9

Hi, everyone! Hope everyone's well - and Traci, I hope you're doing alright - please post soon so we don't worry!

Lori, how old is your little one? Sounds like cereal might be worth a try at this point.

Mary, I couldn't agree more - I am liking my life better the older I get, so far.

Teddygirl, wow, I am so sorry you didn't sleep. Kudos on Legs & Glutes!

I am doing GS Legs this morning. Pray for me :eek: }(

Have a great morning, everyone!

Cheryl
 
Morning WW’er Team!

Wondering if Amy, Cheryl & Belinda are doing anything (or planning to do) different to prepare for Road Trip? I peek at the R/T Boards and swear it’s a frenzy out there! Kinda glad I cant go as I will be doing P90X again for next 3 months and would hate to have someone ask…”Where’d you get those guns?”
LOLOLOL

Today is a new circuit workout SPEEDBODY + the 18 minute Body Blast premix. Reports & reviews shall follow!

Anyway- The Ripped 1000 overview is below and below that are personals! Gotta get ready for bay so may not check in again until tomorrow AM – it may take dial up that long to load! hahaahahaha

Ripped 1000 (Jari Love)

Would I pay full price again… No
Will I do this again…. Probably
Would I use this 3x a week…. No

Our little Cathe has spoiled me beyond belief when it comes to circuits. Jari is obviously not a choreographer so the “cardio” segments are just step ups, fast feet, etc…. What I DID like was that the cardio segments were very short… more like 1 minute then back to weights. (Bootcamp timing) I actually think this is more of what a circuit really is. From what I’ve read lately it’s these very short high intensity bursts that conditions better than 5-8 minutes of cardio spurts.
The exercises themselves are pretty standard compound… the pace is a bit fast so I didn’t dare lift anything heavy- I stayed with my 3-6’s for safety. HR stayed in fat burning zone for most of workout and cardio spurts got it up to max every time. What I didn’t care for was the constant reference to burning carbs! Jari has no way of knowing what I’m burning I don’t think… Isn’t that based on what’s readily available in my system? I burned 309 calories so the advertising claim of up to 1000 calories must be for a 200# person in anaerobic state the entire time. I guess I just expect more credibility from my trainers. The ab work was minimal … her very last move of bicycles was actually a count of 5! Then she abruptly stops like OH NO LOOK AT THE TIME! Kinda funny. ANYWAY…. A few other personal pet peeves that I shall spare you. If you feel you want a 55 minute start to finish circuit this may work for you… I see myself using it on recovery weeks or ttom when I just don’t have my all to give. I’d pay 7.95 but not the 19.95 I paid with preorder.

TeddyGirl: Are you doing a full blown X rotation this time? I know how you LOVE to go with the feeling of the moment! Will you check in at all with us at Xers? So sorry about no sleep! Mine is always hormone related – is yours?

CHERYL: Have a wonderful leg fest today!!!! I bet you're running hard on Saturday too! OH MY those legs gotta be looking good!

Lori: Hope little one is all better this morning! Have a happy workout whatever it may be!

Mary: 1000% in agreement! I turn 44 tomorrow and am the happiest, healthiest, most satisfied with life, and YES SKINNIEST I’ve ever been in my life. WONDERFUL that mom was able to assist you in making the living arrangements… That takes a load off of everyone I’m sure. BTW: I plan on having a cheeseburger myself this weekend!

Happy day to Amy- Amelia – Heather – Belinda – Kali!
 
Good Morning Ladies:)

I'm enjoying my cup of coffee! Not sure what workout Im doing today since all those blisters seem to mess me up with the beginner rotationx(! I've been kinda 'doing it myself' this week! I did get to the 8th week though,which is good acomplishment(sp) for me :7! Ive got doms from yesturdays Body fusion,might take a long walk today!

Lori-I started my kids on ceral early too,If I can remember I think it was around 5mnths old,but just at night then as there tummy got use to it I increased it at night and added alittle before nap time!It really helps them sleep!

Mary-I totally agree with you,Im 28 and lovin my life alot better now then say 10yrs ago! And the older I get the more I know myself better(does that make sense?)Have a good day,and I wish your mother the best of Health!

Teddygirl-I hope you have better luck getting some sleep tonight! And Enjoy Imax2!

Ceryl-As requested Im praying for you! enjoy gs legs this morning!

Traci-I was wondering where you was,you snuck in on me;-)!In a way Im kinda glad Im not going to the RT either(I know bite my tounge:eek:)Im a drama queen so the rt would really get me going,probably would have trouble sleeping now until we left! But Im thinking about going next year! Have a good day!

I'll try and check back later,Hope everybodies day is filled with smiles and laughter!:D
 
I called hsn checking up on Barry's BC only to see if its still being delieverd on 3/31. It's been at my leasing office since Monday ARGH......

UPS never left me a noticed in my mailbox }( }( }(
 
TEDDYGIRL: I LOVE BBC!!!!! Its a PERFECT sub for many of the p90X! I plan on a 30 day rotation once I finish up X again!!!! The cardio is TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH
 
Glad to see everyone decided to wake up:)

DS is only 12 weeks today and they aren't suppose to try cereal unil they are 4-6 monthes but I don't know how many nights I will last like this.

Mary, your mom wants to go home? Who will take care of her? Glad to hear you enjoyed your burger:9

Traci, do you have a long weekend? I seriously don't know how you keep your eating in check! I would fall of the wagon every weekend.I really enjoy cathes workouts to and I rarely try anything else.Anything else I bought was just a waste of money.

Teddygirl,are you legs as sore as mine? I hope we both get a better nights sleep tonight!

Amelia, I don't think he will last 5 monthes without cereal. I am gonna try him later on a little bit just to see what hapens.

Ill be back later,
Lori:)
 
Tracie: I don’t believe I’ll be able to do a full blown P90X rotation, I get bored quickly, just being honest, I’m even happy that I’ll be done with S&H :p :p

But, my plans our to use all of the P90X upper body w/0 they’re awesome. Will be adding Plyo, Core Synergistics, legs & back, (((Yoga))) and every now and again Kenpo, which is a little to easy for me. I’m going too start with the Classic format, putting together a rotation around that, of course with add-ons x( ;) I mentioned before that I’d never be an X Grad, sad I know, but its true. I can’t stick with anything long. But I bet ya, am going to have guns too:9 :9

As far as the lovely Jari goes, that's why I sold it, right off the rip! never tried it, not my style I’d never use it. After my workout tonight, guess who I will be watching, cant wait, it is even worth me taking half vacation day, just kidding:p

Good morning ladies,

I really need to get up earlier! It's almost 8 a.m. :) :)
Last couple weeks my sinus have been acting up! I do have med., but I forget to take it.

Traci I am not planning on doing anything different to prepare for the RT! I will stick with Cathe's rotations and try to eat better!
My goal is to loose 20 pounds until August!!

Amy did you see my post in the RT forum! How long are you plan on staying?

Mary and Cheryl I agree with both of you!

Teddygirl sorry about your sleepless night! Great job on your workout!

Cheryl have fun with GS legs this morning!

Lori your little one is probably at that age to eat cereal?


Workout for today is Low Impact Circuit!:)


Have a great one!
Belinda
 
Hey Girls, just finished Circuit Max and PH abs. I forgot what a great workout CM is! I haven't done that one in about 2 yrs and I really worked up a sweat.

Belinda, he isn't suppose to have cereal until he is 4 monthes but I really think it should go by weight sometimes! Im just going to try it really runny but yet it will be thicker then milk

Alright, I have to go and do some stuff but I will be back before you know it.
Lori:)
 
Mary: I went back to read yesterday’s posts. Okay, talk to ya bout hip hop abs. What I have seen so far, it’s all about the Benjamin’s babe, no just kidding. For me, it’s all about, dancing,moving, staying young and feeling like I’m auditioning for Snoop Doggie Dog dances video, pick me……pick me……I had to laugh :+ :+

What elses I know bout hip hop abs. Well, I tried the movements during the infomercial, and from the little I did I was sold. I felted it in my abs real good. Its was fun!

Belinda: enjoy LIC

Teddygirl~
 
teddygirl...you are so funny!!!!:) i am thinking of purchasing bbc and hip hop abs for something different. i get so restless if i do the same workouts over and over so i need to change it up. on another note my mom will have my stepfather with her at all times as well as an aid and nurse for a portion of the day. she is really struggling with the thought of needing hospice since she is only 59 and would like to have many more years with her family. i kind of like the fact that she is so medicated because it keeps her unaware(most of the time)as to what is going on!! the sad part is that it was diagnosed at stage 1 and everyone told her how lucky she was to have caught it so early but then we discovered that she is actually chemotherapy resistant. i have never heard of such a thing but essentially the cancer spread as though she never had any treatment. it has been 1 year and 6 months since we found out she had cancer originally. sorry to go on i just needed to talk.
:) be back soon
 
Mary: its okay, I must've missed something, I didn't know your mother had cancer, so sorry I missed that, Gee!

My mother her name Odell Kinney passed away 4yrs ago from pancreas cancer, it still hurts, still cry, and still miss her so very much, we're best of friends, its so sad.

I will keep your mom in my prayers, what is her name? so I may call her name when I pray. Yesterday, my co-worker, Bob, also my best friend, rushed home his dad has been so sick he got a phone call, that his father passed, girl it hit me like a knife. I met his father once, took to me like we knew each other. Our company is small when I started it was only 7 now its 12. We can talk anytime. (((((((((hug, for you)))))))))))

PS
Keep looking to God, its not as bad as you think, all things are done for God’s glory. God has the final say so..........

Hey there Gabby gals…

Am’ers must be snoozing! I miss you girl! We’re on different schedules these days.

Cheryl must be busy makin’ $$$$ or stuck in a squat position with Cathe!

Amelia: We’ll start planning for next years R/T now, that way we wont be in the frenzy! Hope you can find just the perfect pair of shoes… 1 thought on trying them on: Make sure your socks are same as workout socks + go try on shoes the same time of day you typically workout as feet swell / reduce thru out the day (that’s 2 thoughts I think!)

TeddyGirl: oh yes I’m sure you’ll have guns! Take pics & measure… amazing how every 30 days you get re-motivated all over again! Cant wait til Monday!!!

Mary: Never apologize for sharing… our parents are part of identity even if we aren’t super duper close (referring to me not you). Your thoughts re welcomed and that’s part of being in a group…good, bad, ugly, sad.

Lori: Your workout sounds killer! I adore Circuit Max- wish there were premixes. DH and I use a lot of Fridays & Mondays to hit the bay for fishing & fun. Houston is warm 9 of 12 months so we take full advantage. I don’t work right now & DH is owner of business so we are flexible. Eating is TOUGH! I think by being able to check in tho that I will be more in control… I tend to stray when my routines are changed to severely so this will help now. (at least I’m hoping!)

Belinda: take care of those nasty Sinus issues! Great way to set a goal! I always have short & long term BF% goals to keep me focused.

Heather: Hope you are planning a great weekend!

Check Back in the morning gang – gotta get packed up and ready for a 4pm departure.

Here’s my thoughts on SpeedBody workout today….

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Music... heard some familiar Cathe & Amy instrumentals...
Lead guy is cute....
"team" not sweating any where near like I was but they werent giving it 1000% either! lol

The Speedbody workout is about 50 minutes...
Warm up 3 / cool down 3 (Definitely not marketed for that!)
12 rounds - each 3-4 minutes with a 15 second planned rest
each round has a little legs, a little upper, & standing abs- some rounds add on 15 seconds of pushups.
Time FLYS by... I used their sculpting ball (1#) as he uses it for the functional moves + ab moves. I used 8# weights for all the rest of DB segments.
Also added on the 18 minute SpeedBody Blast... 4 rounds same format but all sculpting ball.
Previewed 10 minute abs... all floor work which compliments the standing abs.
You can use weighted gloves for some real intensity or keep as is for a good solid sculpting/cardio. 2 thumbs up from me!

Also ordered 30 bucks worth of No Pudge brownies on line - I just MUST stop buying everything a Cathe-ite recommends! I couldn’t find them anywhere out near me so online shopping saved me once again!
 
Teddygirl...thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. my moms name is margaret. she and i are very close and we tell eachother all the time that we dont want to leave eachother. i have to say that i have formed amazing relationships with people in my family that i never had before any of this, and for that i will be always be greatful. i am sorry to hear about your mom, i know someone else who has pancreatic cancer and i know how painful it is as well. i am heading to the hospital so i will check in later.

traci: everytime i see a post about a video review...i stick my fingers in my ears and say "la,la,la,la, i cant hear(read) you" p.s. i ordered bbc so i guess it did not work. you should get paid for your reviews you deserve it:)
 
Mary: we'd make GREAT workout buddies! We could share our extensive libraries!!! ENJOY BBC! I really love it and look forward to a 30 day rotation after X !
 
Dilemma time……x( x(

It’s so nice outside should me walk or do Imax2:)

Tracie: enjoy your weekend! Must be nice, huh! I was debating on starting with you on Monday. The only issues I'm having is Sat and Sun those two days I can really push out my workouts and too having more time to do them :D I'll see how it goes Saturday, my first workout will be P90X Chest & Back:)

Well, guys have a great evening now if I decide to walk know that I’ll be speed walking another 18 laps. I hope I can mustard up some energy I’m getting so sleepy, night:) night:)

You...who...Amy, where are you, not playing today ;) ;)
