We're In This Together **JUNE**

I had my posting all done yesterday and again computer problems. I started to write a new post but I was in a bad mood by that time so it started with the big daddy of all swear words. I ended thinking I'll wait till I cool off a little steam first and then promptly ran out of time.

We did get our corn in, pumpkins planted, and green beans in. Saturday hopefully we will get the rest in in the next few days.

Yesterday I had bicep DOMS from Pyramid UB :) Yesterday my workout was hiit 30/30 plus a short but sweaty 2 mile run (treadmill 5.5 plus my treamill is stuck on a 5 incline :().

Nat - You are doing soo good on STS you are totally making me want to do it again with a tower to get better results. I was also expecting reviews from you of the new workouts. I figured you would be downloading them. Have fun going out and relaxing. You work hard at everything you do.

I'm sorry about the stress level when you mom is around. Love family, but can't chose who your family is. I think in alot on ways it helps me to be a more patient and tolerant person because I just have to let 95% of the shit go and just chose a few things things to voice my opinion about.

Jen - Have fun at you party this weekend. Get back on that spin bike although it is a little scary. It's been such a nice change of pace for me.

Colleen - I hope you have so much fun on your trip and make lots of good memories. I'm totally jealous.

Some of my friends and I are going to see Magic Mike on Friday for fun. It will be nice to look at some hot male bodies for a change.

I did not get the downloads this time :mad::mad:

Frankly, I wanted the DVD's so I could get all the premixes. It's a pain in the a$$ to do it on the workout blender. I don't care who states otherwise, it's too glitchy. You wanna see me swear lots of lovely words, I should make a recording of me using the blender :mad:.

So now I have to wait...probably 2-4 weeks :(. It's ok, at least I'll have the premixes...I'm gonna need them!
 
Sarah-I have a pic of Matthew on my FB timeline. He is looking fine. Your workout sounds tough but good. Usually I walk then workout.
Natty-Buying the DVDs are better. In the future, maybe we can work it out that we meet when new workouts arrive and have yours mailed to me then we meet halfway in London for delivery by the bridge and eat well on the Thames. Something to consider. If I'm back to work, it would be on a Saturday. You can keep up with Cedie, Brenda, Jai, and Lorraine.

My day today, phone tag for an interview for a company I'm 50/50 on cause its almost exact what I did before with the same commute to boot.
Very hot today but will do Disc 21 and maybe 22. Turned on my air around 1pm.
Didn't go in today cause of phone tagging and needed to get stuff for networking to promote my blog. Problems with a huge project I'm working on, sales account maintenance from personnel problems to my friend taking it over. Everything is messed up. Will go in on Friday for a few....
 
Grrr. I have had 3 no show patients today! Jeez, the weather gets hot and everybody stays home and forgets to call their eyedoctor to cancel their appointment!:confused:

I'm so jealous you guys will get these workouts next week! I read Ellie's review of To the Max and it sounded so awesome! Ellie you are amazing to be able to do the step tabata with the same number of risers as Cathe!!:eek: I'm 5'2" and I'm totally going to take a riser (or maybe 2:eek:) out when I attempt that one.:p I'm also thinking I may use the green band instead of the blue one for CrossFire...we'll see how energetic and powerful I feel after my vacation. A whole week without workouts...it's been more than a year since I did that (when we went to the Dominican Republic last year for vacation in February 2011). I hope I don't get too stir crazy! My eating always goes awry too when I'm not working out. It's like in my head it's all or nothing...:eek:.

Today I so wanted to do another Horizontal Conditioning workout but my neck was still feeling tweaky. I thought about doing AT but decided I should take it easy and did an Ellen Barret dvd. Tomorrow my send off workout will be Afterburn! Of course! LOL;)

I'll try to post before we leave tomorrow! If I don't get a chance I probably won't get to chat with you guys until we get back. Hope everyone has a great workout week!

Oh and Natty- I totally agree with Jen...you could SO be in a Cathe video! I know you could totally keep up with Cathe and crew!:eek:
 
omg, I'm so proud of myself right now!:D I wanted to get a good workout in before we left for our trip to Disney later today. I've been battling ttotm fatigue and just feeling all blah. This whole week and even end of last week I felt like I wasn't able to put everything into my workouts and then yesterday I had to do an Ellen Barrett day to recuperate a little. I really need to do at least one Ellen a week I think because today I killed it!

I did Afterburn and it was my best yet doing that workout! I only paused once at the 25 minute mark to take a sip of water and wipe my face off and then kept going. Then after AB I did Horizontal Conditioning Volume 1! I even did most of the workout with Sandra and only went to the modifier a few times. :eek:

Now to get in the shower. I am soaked!:p

I just wanted to say good bye for the week ladies! I won't be able to post anymore until I get back. Have fun with the new workouts!!!:eek:
 
Hello everyone :)

Just got back from a fun filled day at the beach :cool:. No workouts for this chick today...I'm tired.

Sarah
Your garden sounds lovely :).
Great job on your workouts. Hiit workout and a 2 mile run :eek:. You are a champ :D.
Everyone keeps talking about 50 Shades of Grey and Magic Mike :confused:. I have no clue what the big fuss is about. I'll have to Google ;).
Jen
You are so sweet to suggest having the workouts mailed to your home :). Thank you.
Great job on STS :). How have your results been?

Hope everyone has a wonderful night :)
 
Hello Friends.
TGIF!! Tonight, I took my friend shopping although she knew I just wanted to come home. She doesn't get it sometimes. Also, tonight, she was bragging to me that her boss answers to her now..Dangerous. Didn't finish cycle 2 yet, hope to do two of them in the morning since my Cross Fire and To the Max isn't here yet. STS, although my weight hasn't changed, my physique has. Much stronger and clothes are fitting better. My calories have to be good, not just quantity.
My blog has some heavy hitters following me. Hoping to be earning income with a job offer by October. My skills from my internship will allow me to go to their competition if I choose.

Natty-Your pics from the beach are great!! Bella is a cutie! Never swam in Lake ON nor Lake Superior either. It would be fun to get together, the DVDs would be the reason you tell your DH. Yes, Colleen agrees that you should be in a Cathe workout DVD.

Colleen-Great job on your workout before Disney. AB and HC, WOW!!!

Ellie-Thank you for the great review of the workout. Very detailed.

Nikki-Where are you??

Big party tomorrow afternoon near Lake MI at Saugatuck. The town is into arts and film festivals with lots of bars but will be at a private home. The guy, from my group, whom is having the party is not straight. I want to check out his partner.
 
Busy day getting the kids ready to go away to Idaho till July 5th :(:D. They will be leaving tomorrow. I also had to make a caramel cake for my mom as she was having company for dinner (her knee is really bad again). I was also inspired by Colleen and decided to to Afterburn today rather than tomorrow where it was slotted (my daughter Taylor did it with me).
I also went to see Magic Mike with my girlfriends. We were in the front row. There were ladies sitting on the floor of the theatre. My friend said we were in the "dangle" section :eek:. Fun for a girls night movie. Nothing great though. Although Mathew McConaughey did dance in a thong (he had to have been waxed all over). The guy who played Magic Mike could actually dance a little, I was suprised.

I forgot when you download you dont get the premixes. I loved looking a your pics Nat of your day at the beach with Bella. You look awesome! I cant wait for some sun over this way.

Jen - I glad your blog is doing so well. I wuld over analize everything I wrote and it would probably take me forever just to write one sentence.
I'm actually getting better writing to you guys. So this check-in group has been good in so many ways for me.

I have mice again :( One of the crappy things about living in the country

Sarah
 
My workouts arrived about 15 minutes ago. May preview today before my party.
The description on the backs are very detailed. Monday is my goal date to try one since I did discs 23 & 24 this morning.
 
Hi ladies :)

Off to the splash-pad shortly. It's very hot and humid today :cool:.

My workout will be KPC later on :D.

Jen
Come back promptly and give reviews once you've done the new workouts! I'm super jealous...:mad: :D
Congrats on your STS results :). It's true, the scale never really tells the whole truth. At the beach yesterday, I saw so many "skinny-fat" people. It's amazing what weight lifting can do to your body composition, instead of just dieting or cardio alone. I have curves, but I'm strong. That means more to me than fitting into a size 0.
Have fun at the party today :D. I love gay guys! They are super cool and fun to be around. In my next life, I'm coming back as a gay male :D.
Sarah
Jealous your kids are going away :mad: :D. I'm happy for ya, you need the time away that's for sure.
Do you watch Louis CK stand-up? He is a comedic genius. His skits about parenthood are the funniest ever! Check him out.
Sorry about the mice situation? Get a few cats ;). You'll never see one mouse again :D.

Have a great day ladies :)
 
Monday night will be one. I previewed one. Her routines are so in sync and flow flawlessly. Music is awesome. Tough factor is insane. I will modify. Sore from today.
 
Hello Everyone.
I went to the party last night and got along well with the hosts. The house looked like it should be in a magazine.
My friend's partner is from England so we chatted about BBC and some shows on PBS. He liked it that someone knew about those shows.
The person from my program plus her superiors arrived to the party with a good buzz and left drunk. The hosts wanted them to leave cause they were arguing and got nasty. From her problem drinking, she is a bi@#$ the next day. Rethinking my internship there with last nights episode. Now everyone knows what I deal with. I stayed away from them for almost the whole party. On the way down, my inner voice warned me so I had a plan. Got to tell others about my blog and why I started it, it was well received. My blog has given me an out to since I need to promote it plus more time is needed for it.
Thanks for letting me vent.
 
Jen - Aren't you glad your gut told you to stay away. It's unfortunate what happened, but if she's still hading downhill sometimes they have to reach the very bottom before trying to head back in the right direction.

I can't wait to hear reviews also on the new workouts.

I took a slow 3 mile walk yesterday. I was sore from during Afterburn on Friday as well as tired from staying up until 3 in the morning making strawberry freezer jam. I got free berries so I had to use them. My kids don't like any jam except for freezer jam.

We also had our garage on Sat. that was posponed due to bad weather last week. So I'm done with that :D

Today I will take a rest day.

Happy Canada Day Nat. I hope your having great times with family and beating the heat.

Sarah
 
Happy Canada Day!

It's very rare we go out and celebrate on this day. It's just too damn congested everywhere, and I hate fighting through crowds and traffic. Long weekends in Canada are absolutely horrible. Forget about beach trips -- it could take you hours to reach your destination and hours coming back. That does not tickle my fancy, sorry.

Today's workout was my last disc of M2 (chest, shoulder's, tri's). I could not reach my 80% 1RM :(. My strength was just not there. It didn't help that there was this child screaming and crying outside for 30min, and it distracted me hearing it. I won't use that as an excuse though. It was just an off day I suppose.

Jen
It's good you chose to stay away from your friend with the drinking problem and her entourage. Business and alcohol really don't mix.
On the upside, you got to promote your blog, which was a great decision on your part. I think the party worked out in your favor despite the drunken upset.
Sarah
What's strawberry freezer jam? Sounds tasty :p. Seriously, if you ever get divorced, come marry me will ya? ;) :D
3 miles is a nice long walk. It's even nicer when you can do it without a restless 30lbs kid in a stroller :mad:.
Enjoy your rest day...you deserve it too :)

Have a good night ladies :)
 
Natty, thank you for your outlook on the party. You put it in perspective. Sharing my blog last night, it became more important.
