We're In This Together (03/10-03/17)

Ellie, Hope you have a BETTER day. Sorry to hear about your news at work, it is depressing especially when you counted on this person. Yes, I've been so depressed too that I didn't work out.It's horrible to lose someone good.
Natty, good luck shopping for your daughter's birthday. My sister would understand that more than me. Good luck with disc 25. You won't forget this one.

Good morning ladies :)

Very quick post (I will be back later to write more). Going out to get more party supplies for Bella's b-day party tomorrow. Finding zoo-themed/jungle stuff has been challenging. I guess kids are not really into animals :confused:.

I caved. I downloaded disc 25 Plyo-Legs :eek:. That will be on tap for tonight.

BBL!

Have a great day!

Uh oh, did you download disc 25 or disc 26? I just checked and the Plyo legs one is actually disc 26...25 was the chest and back workout. :confused: I hope you got the right one because that Plyo legs rocks! You'll have to let us know what you think!:)
dang it, I hear the next patient getting screened...gotta go!
 
Hi everyone :)

Just came back from some last minute b-day party shopping. Holy man, any "themed" supplies, and you totally get ripped off! I was lucky enough to find some stuff at the dollar store too, or else this birthday party was gonna cost more than all my Cathe workouts/fitness equipment combined!

Ok, so I download Plyo Legs........and STS Meso 3 chest & back by mistake!!!!! I was in such a rush to get out of the house, that I didn't notice I downloaded disc 25 instead of 26 :confused:. I went to preview the workout, and saw Cathe doing chest!! I was like WTH???!! OMG, now I have this random workout. I suppose I could do it, I like to go heavy with chest & back. Anyway, I went back and got disc 26 regardless, cuz' now I have it on my mind, and no downloading error is gonna stop me.

Jen
What a story! That guy is totally after you! The older men get, the braver they become IMO. You remember as a teen, when the guy that liked you told one of his friends, to tell one of your friends, that he liked you. Ha, ha, how things change hun? I guess he got the hint that you were not interested. You can't blame the guy for trying, I bet you looked really good ;).
Ellie
Work related stuff is so stressful. I am sorry you have to go through that. I understand your concern over the new coordinator, but try not to jump the gun in assuming things will turn out for the worst. You never know until it happens. I will keep my fingers crossed and stay optimistic that things will turn out ok for you. ((hugs))
Colleen
UGGHHH you were right!!! On the upside, I got to preview STS, which confirms my belief that I am going to love it once I take the plunge. Plyo legs here I come!!!

Have a great day ladies :)
 
I haven't been here for days. I've hurt my back and feel like crapola. The only positive side is it's my rest week regardless. I don't know if it was stress from the fight with TJ or if it really is worse than normal. Normal for me is I always have lower back pain/stiffness. My husband ordered Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer for himself. He really likes Tony for some strange reason. I ate really bad this week and feel sick beacuse of it. I decided to do Dr. Oz's 48 hour cleanse this weekend before I start with the last month on STS/LIS.

Nat - I just realized when I read your postings your energy comes of the page. You will love plyo legs it's very challenging. I'm excited for you. I hope Bella has a great Birthday party and that you can enjoy it as well.

Jen - So were you able to watch some of the storm? I used to live down at the Oregon Coast and we would love going and watching the storm. The weather here is very storming as well all of the rivers around us are getting very close to flood stages. You hang in. You are a strong woman.

Ellie - I'm sorry to hear about your coordinator. Change can be difficult, but you never no what is around the next corner. How's your family doing?

Colleen - Those pull-ups will come. Are you able to do chin-ups? Those are easier for me. Well, easier isn't the right word because they are extremly hard. Plus I have strong days that I can eek 2-4 out and days where I just hang there like a sloth. You are a good salesperson, I ordered the lotion too.
 
Today, besides getting chinese for lunch, I contacted 3 other organizations to do an internship plus I updated FB and Linked in no longer showing his company. He may tell me I "misunderstood" and put it on me. The young lady, Claire, was shocked when I told her we were working on a new company, I think she saw what was truly happening. I plan to let him know when I get a new internship or a new job outside of this.
The tornado hit south of where I was at and a funnel cloud was north BUT I did see hail, wind, rain, heard thunder, and lightening. UofM was wise to notify students has fast as they did.
Very tired today, no workouts.

Sarah-hope your back feels better. Great timing for the rest week. Let us know how you like the cleanse.
 
Good morning ladies :)

Before I get my house all ready to be destroyed, I wanted to say that last night's Plyo Legs went great! A wonderful addition to my collection that's for sure. I was not sure what weight to use @ 70%1RM, so I started out with 20lbs dumbell's in each hand (I don't have anything higher). I was able to keep the weights except for some of the ones at the end (sequential lunge kicks??!!! Hello!!! WTH???). The plyo was really fun, not nearly as hard as her hiit's, and I preferred the slower movement of them. A++! Today my butt is burning :)
Sarah
I am sorry you are having a bad week with your back pain/stress. I do feel the two are related that's for sure. If it's any consolation, everyone seems to be having a bad week here (referring to the comments on the forums) including myself. That stupid time change is useless IMO. How is Dr.Oz' 48hr cleanse? What does it involve? I hope you do well on it. Hopefully this week will be much better for you. Are you going to do another rotation when you are done STS? 3 months is a long time to commit to a rotation, you did really well. Did you notice any results you were happy with?


**BTW, CTX is on for a fantastic price $21.99 w/the discount!!! Is it worth it guys?? I trust your opinions**

Gotta go! have a great St.Paddy's Day!!!
 
Natty-Glad you enjoyed Plyo Legs. It was that or the alternative, which I dont remember.
Tomorrow, I get my Smart Phone. Today, not much planned at all. Not anything for St Patricks either cause I get a long day at church on Sunday.
Hoping to get another internship squared away next week. I have NO desire to see that guy again.
Last night, my older neighbor had an arthritis attack while raking leaves. It freaked me out and later she told me her as well. After some discussion, we talked if water would help. Hydration cures or elminates most arthritis inflamation so she is getting an article from me later today I found last night.
 
Just a quick check in. Did Gym Style Legs today! It was my first time doing that one since I got it with the preorder for the new workouts. She's not kidding around on that one. How on earth does she do the ball rollouts with one leg?? My hamstrings, calves and even ankles were burning like crazy on that one! I had to go to just doing both legs:eek:. Something to work up to! Okay, gotta go!
Good luck with the birthday party today Natty!
Sarah, that is so hilarious you got the cream too...now I'm feeling some presssure!:eek: I sure hope it works for you guys like it does for me. I don't want you guys to be mad at me if it doesn't for some reason!!:eek:
Have a great day everyone!
 
Colleen-How do you like Gym Style Series? I don't own any of them. It sounds tough.
Nikki-Where are you???????

Today, I had ONE half of a reuben made with high grade stuff I got from this NY Deli. Also, I had one canoli. They forgot to put them in my bag so I got an extra one free. Still have leftover Chinese. Monday, It will NEED to be green tea and yogurt plus walking. Too warm to do anything extreme on the inside.
 
I got the new stove, nothing special just a Kenmore Glass top electric. As much as eventually I would love gas its just to expensive for me to wrap my brain around.

I love Gymstyle Legs and I had to work up to all those hamstring roll outs I would always get leg cramps in the middle but now I can do them.

Colleen don't feel bad about the cream, it's actually cheaper than even Olay is anymore at the grocery store so I figured it was worth a try.

I finally caved and did Cathe pre-order with the Firewalker bands, Circut Max-Cardio Kicks, and Rythmic Step/Interval Max. I'm a happy camper.

Cleanse is fine, the dinner soup/ broth I couln'd get down. So I threw it out and just had the sides that were sauerkraut (which I love) and an apple. I love the quinoa for breakfast it texture is very satisfying all those little beads.

I am planning on doing another rotation in April and just haven't chose one yet but am thinking something endurance based since again when I lost my weight in the fall it was with Meso 1. The LB ones also really appeal to me as well.

I hope Bella party went great.

Jen again with the Reuben, you are giving me serious cravings. I lopve them suckers. I have never had a canoli. Perhaps if I ever travel to New York (my daughters would love to see the Statue of Liberty, they are history freaks) I will then try my first canoli.

I'm glad you liked Plyo, Nat.
 
Sarah-Kenmore appliances that is the only kind my parents buy b/c of consumer reports. Don't wait for NY to get a canoli.
Natty-Hope the party was fun for your princess and you as well.

My neighbor appreciated my medical research I did for her. My reuben was great with another half to go. I need a job, going crazy. Another push this next week.
 
Happy St.Paddy's Day!!

Thank goodness everyone left early! I can only handle so much family/friends at my house at one time. Pizza, KFC, cake and ice cream left me feeling bloated and so I felt the need to get in a light workout of 4DS Low Intensity Step + 15min Step Moves. I'm pooped :(

Colleen
GSL is one tough cookie. I can't do the ball rolls on one leg either, my leg just cramps up. Don't worry about the cream not working. Your results might not be mine, I know that, and I won't hold you accountable ;)
Sarah
BTW, your children are so beautiful. I saw the pics you posted on FB. I had a built-in Frigidaire glass top stove when I had my house. It was awesome, but so hard to clean. Boil overs are a pain in the butt. Let me know how you like your new purchases. You would love a lower body rotation! It was hard but fun. Lots of cardio, which does help shed stubborn pounds.
Jen
I will send you lots of positive vibes ((()))) and cross my fingers that you will get a job soon. I hope you had a good weekend. You know what, I don't think I've ever had a reuben :eek:. I would LOVE to get my hand on one though.

Have a good night everyone :)
 
A reuben is toasted on rye bread with corned beef, saukraut, thousand island dressing or mayo. Some places will do a turkey reuben to reduce fat content. Since I've gotten older, I've started like chinese, reubens, etc. Sure, you can find a great reuben in Toronto. Arby's bought their's back after 20 years. On my pinterest, there is one out there.
