OMG. I think GOD hates me. Really. The person whom cornered me on day 1 of the program sat next to me all day yesterday and was concerned so she went to someone else. NOW, they want to meet me to support me. I was honest with the person whom emailed me on FB about what happened at the mixer and how she's trying too hard to be my friend. I think the person whom cornered me, she wants me to be her next project. Thanks for letting me vent again. The drama must end soon.

Hello ladies!
Just a quick check-in... yesterday was disc#3 from STS, meso 1: oh my! I had so much fun and felt I could have gone even heavier on some exercises..And today I am SO SORE in my medium glute/inner thigh that I don't know what it could have been to provoke such good DOMS!
This morning while doing the first step portion of Intensity could barely spread my legs apart for air jacks, that's why I skipped the HIIT portion and did only the Low Impact random HIIT...And still had trouble in doing rope climbers!
That workout rocks!And I didn't expect big DOMS because LBB has never given me so much trouble!
Colleen you're so right: I think I will enjoy disc #26 even more!yesterday I had so much fun, time just flew by and legs were frying esp. at the end, during the bonus, when doing all those lifts with the paper plate on my leg
What a luck with TB! These are the things that make me think that there's still good people in this world, it's such a small good thing but it can make your day, doesn't it?
Sarah: how about your kids? I read about your yogurt experiment: I've always wanted to try to do it by myself but don't know why I fear it won't taste as good as the one I buy. Did you add fruit? I read about your choice of being a full time Mom and a nurturing daughter for your parents. I salute you for your choice, it's not easy nowdays too find a balance between work and family, and sometimes it can be stressful or difficult to decide to stay at home and put your family as priority number one.I'm so happy for you that you just did the best thing for you and your dears and you're proud of your choice too!
Nat: I don't run either. When she says 45 mins on the treadmill, I usually do a steady state step routine, i.e. one of her oldies but goodies and I'm done
Jen: poor poor you!Life must be a torture just right now! Hope you will get out of this bad moment as soon as possible, hang in there!
have a nice weekend everybody!

Good morning
I was previewing 4DS last night. I am so excited to try everything!!! Today on my rotation is kickboxing, but I really want to do the bootcamp!!! I was viewing the High Intensity Step and mark came in the room to see why I was saying "OMG, OMG, this looks great!!". He looked at the screen and said "don't you have to learn that stuff? It looks complicated". I then responded "I DO know how to learn step routines". He has no idea what I do behind closed doors.
Jen
I know what you mean about the GOD really hates me thing. I was going through a tough situation last year where I was forced to sell my very first home. Every day for months, I was very upset, stressed and probably a bit depressed. I thought "why me? Am I that bad of a person to get such bad luck?". In the end, it all turned out for the better. So please, do not get discouraged. What won't break you, will make you stronger. We are here for you.
Sarah
The yogurt sounds tasty. How did you make it? BTW, I'm not doing the rotation with 2 w/o's on the same day!! I saw hiit 30/30 and TBT UB. No thanks. I will modify.
Ellie
This rotation has made me feel muscles in my legs & butt I never knew existed! I was at the mall yesterday buying an outfit for Izabella (I have a wedding shower to attend soon) and decided to try on some pants. the size I usually get, was loose!!!!! I was in a rush, so I did not buy them.......but I'm going back. Congrats on finishing this rotation!!! You worked really hard, even during the illnesses and set backs.
Have a great day ladies

Jen- thank goodness the drama is passing. I can't believe that woman went to someone about you! She's sounding a little "single white female" ish, remember that movie? It's so freaky when someone just won't get the signal to back off...people can be so weird sometimes!
Sarah- that yogurt does sound yummy! I was tempted to try that myself since I hate all the thickeners most brands put in their yogurt. I really like this one kind called Kalona Supernatural. It's yummy and has no thickeners in it which I like a lot better, plus their is no added sugar. So many yogurt makers, even the organic ones, feel the need to make their yogurts sooo sweet I find it yucky. I like vanilla flavor though so plain yogurt doesn't always cut it. I may have to try this myself! As far as the elliptical...it's a no go. The lady "changed her mind and decided to keep it", which I believe is a load of crap. I think she had someone else who was going to give her more money and didn't even let us counter offer. She was the one who originally offered such a low price! I'm really disappointed but I figure I'll just keep checking Craig's list to see if anything pops up. No hurry I guess, I've gone this long without one!
Ellie- I'm so glad you liked the STS disc! I am just loving STS so much more than I ever dreamed I would! It's given my work outs a loose structure without making me feel too boxed in to a particular rotation since I can choose other workouts on my off days. I'm going to try a reverse pyramid with these when I'm done with Meso 3, alternating one week of Meso 2 with one week of circuits and kettlebells, then just keep alternating weeks until I'm back to Meso 1. I'm really excited to try this since I'll be able to keep up with STS but bring my beloved circuit and kettlebell dvd's back in the mix!
Natty- have fun with 4DS! Isn't it awesome when you try on your old size and it feels loose? That happened to me several months ago. The store clerk was like, "I think we should try the next size down, those look a little big". I just looked at him in disbelief...really?? Hee! Hard work does pay off!
Have a great Friday girls!

The deal of the day is a full club cardio step w/4 risers!!! PLUS you get an additional 15% off!!! I just calculated the price in the cart $67.97 (with discount included). I know it's not an elliptical, but it's still a great cardio investment for a smokin' price.

D'oh!
I really want this! I promised Mark I would wait until after we had our taxes done though. I have it saved in my cart and am thinking about it... I can't even sneak buy it and hide it like I can with dvd's (did I just admit to that??). Too big! I have to decide by tonight!!

I have to decide by tonight!!Well, I got the okay to get the step but when I went to order the shipping cost killed the deal for me! For USPS the shipping was $43!! When I checked the UPS option the lowest shipping cost was $23. I know I can order on the WalMart site and get free shipping site to store or I'm going to look on Amazon since they offer free shipping. I know I've always heard international folks complain about the shipping costs on Cathe's site and boy I get it now! I may still get one on another site now that I've got it in my head though!
Colleen-Check out the Sports Authority too. Hope you LOVE your new step. Better traction for me.
Natty-Happy that you're happy with 4DS. Bootcamp is the bomb!! So are the step routines. Let me know how you like the strength segments. "he has no idea what I do behind closed doors." this line should be in the movies.
Sarah-LOVE yogurt. Making it at home is better than commercial. Decision to stay at home or to work more outside is stressful.
Ellie-Keep us posted with STS. You DO need to recover from the workouts.
Nikki-Are you out there??? Keeping busy. Love your commitment to stick to a rotation.
My good news today, I finalized an internship in Ann Arbor (love that town even though I am a MSU fan) and I redone two new resumes. My new friend was very supportive with my downer day. Yes, I remember the movie and she does fit that type. Will try to post for a couple of jobs this weekend. Havent worked out since Monday. Next one should be LIC.
Thank you again. I hope to one day meet you all in person and I will be buying the first round.......

Final ending to the drama: The person called me at my home. I told her that I am keeping the relationships in the group strictly "professional," which was followed by silence on her end. She kept repeating that she is concerned about me and cares about me, I thanked her and told her there is no need.
Jen- Holy cow. I'm not a religious person, but someone is testing you right now. I was totally thinking SWF along with Colleen. It's good that you had that confrontation with her and layed it out in B & W for her. Congrats on the internship in Ann Harbor. I glad things are rolling in a better direction for you, I will send good vibs your way to keep the momentum going.
Colleen - I have no idea how much I payed for S&H on Cathe's sight. I think I blocked it out on purpose: )
Nat - Smaller size... That's Awesome. You go on witcha smaller bad self.
I did LIC step routine portion only and Jillian 6 week 6 pack.
