Good morning ladies,

I am up early and ready to go. off to meet a few girlfriends of mine for our workout today. we go to a local university's track where we run a mile and then run the stairs for 10 mins. we keep doing this for about 75 mins!

yesterday was a rest day for me. however we received a new game in the mail. it's called active outdoor challenge for wii. i can't even tell you how much fun we all had playing. even got dh to join in on the fun:p . there are quite a few games on the disc the ones i had the most fun on involved running and jumping.

angie- yes i am a group instructor and personal trainer!

have a great day ladies. I will try to check back in on you after church.
 
Wow what a workout Dee Dee! Wish I lived close by. The wii game sounds so cool.

My workout was the kettlebell way - felt great. I plan on doing CC#2 this afternoon.

Oh, kettlebell certs prices are ridiculous. By the time I save the extra cash to get certified I'm hoping the price comes down....way down.:p

I will try to get my rotation posted this afternoon.

Time for church - have a great day everyone!
 
I'm here Sunny!:)

Exhausted but here. :p I did a fill-in bartending job with my friend last night for a wedding. We worked from 4pm to 2am. I made AWESOME money but I don't think I've ever been so tired IN MY LIFE as I was last night! LOL I was actually becoming fearful of falling asleep on the road as I was driving home (45 min ride). I woke up this morning and discovered that my feet still hurt too!:eek:

I'm sure I reported y'day's work out yesterday and it's a good thing too cause I can't remember what it was. LOL ;)

Today? No clue. I still technically have Shoulders/Biceps/Legs to do to finish off my CTX rotation but today or tmrw is supposed to mark the start of the beginning of the X. I guess once I drink my way out of this fog (I mean coffee ladies! LOL), I will figure out what I'm gonna do. :)

BBL.
 
Happy Sunday

Morning Xers!

I'm here! I was busy....er....um.....sleeping in.:p I had no interruptions to wake me up this morning since the boys are still at Grma's so I didn't get up until 9.:) The dog even let me sleep. Believe it or not, I dreamt about Cathe. *lol* She was on the same sidewalk that I was on and we walked together to the class she was going to at a university where I grew up. She was so sweet, just like she is in person. Hmmmmmmm.....STS anticipation in my dreams maybe??

Today is rest day, so I'll either be cleaning out the camper or cleaning the basement. I haven't decided which one yet.:confused:

Dee Dee - That w/o sounds so fun, especially to do with a group of people. Do you all keep the same pace or go at your own?
Oooooo - the new Wii game sounds great! I don't think the boys know about that one. Is it in stores yet or did you order online? I don't let the boys play any electronic games during the school week, but I might be tempted to let them play one where they get some exercise, especially during the winter months.

Diana - Great job on that 2#!:) I hear you on the chocolate!! I just can't seem to get away from it.
How'd the football game go yesterday?
I do have BBC, but if you look on BBC.com, there is a newer program out there now. Upon closer inspection, the workouts are only 21 & 12 minute workokuts, which I'm not too thrilled about. I like an hour long workout and that's a lot of money for short workouts. It's just weird that I haven't heard any chatter about it.
Oh yea, I'm getting my water in. I drank 3 liters yesterday just to try to keep the hunger at bay. I'm always light on my veges, but get my max on fruits. I guess I gotta figure out a way to squeeze those veges in there.

BBL

Hey Ang!

I slept in with you today. Amazing, isn't it? LOL

Oh how fun...how will you ever decide which to clean first-the camper or the basement. Excitement at it's best!:p
 
Hi ladies !

I'm sure by the way I have been in and out that you all are wondering about me, huh?

My head was still hurting yesterday so ended up just working around the house. Those types of headaches only get worse if I attempt to exercise. Today I am feeling back to normal and completely thankful I rarely have pain -makes me feel blessed not to have the ongoing pains that some people live with day after day ! :)

That being said - today I am still motivated to work on the house so will probably just run this afternoon since I'll be starting the "X" tomorrow. Need to pull it out and decide how to go about it with a few subs here and there. Can preview the DVD's while on the TM ! :p

Now to introduce myself since between work and my headache I have been pretty non-existent lately . . .

I'm a 50 yr old with 3 grown children, DS - 23, married, one boy and another on the way: DS - 21, still at home and needs to get motivated soon :mad:: DD - 19, out on her own, kinda stumbling but she'll make it as she is a strong young thing ! I work full-time as an HR Manager in a family run business, premdominately we make boxes so when I shop for fruits and veggies I am turning the boxes upside down to see if they are ours ! :eek:

My hobbies are exercising which I combine weights and cardio (I am enjoying running and want to incorporate that a bit more now), workout usually 6 days a week (except for this past week :mad:). I would love to lift really heavy but due to past sports, am having to modify at times. Shoulders and back need to be babied at times.

DH and I are avid hockey fans. Yippee - NHL starts the end of this week ! We have season tickets to the Sharks and will go to approx 2/3 of the games.

That's me and as Wendy can tell you, I am a follower when it comes to exercising - y'all can enable me faster than you can blink. Did I really commit to doing P90X? :rolleyes:

I did order STS and think this will get me prepped for that series. I attempted "X" nearly two years ago but life got in the way so had to drop it and just do whatever I could fit in. Think I got some new Cathe DVD's after that and never went back. But I am ready and eager now.

One last thing . . . I will never be here as early as the rest of you since I am West Coast and by the time I wake up, you are already done with your workouts, posting, eaten your breakfast and many at work already !;) So I try to post before work if I can (I typically workout in the AM) or early at work when I am able. If you haven't seen me post, check out the day before as I am typically one of the last posts there.

Glad we combined the two checkins and have come to a common plan . . .

Dee Dee - that workout sounds like fun, especially with a group. I think it is so great that Wii has so many adults at least getting some exercise !:D

Shirl - good to "see" you again - I am thinking you were part of the Challengers that Gayle started at the beginning of the year? (Please tell me my old brain remembers some things correctly?:p). See you got into the KB's too? I got one pretty recently but haven't used it too much yet. May try to work it in with "X".

Wendy - glad to hear you had fun last night even though it was long and you got sore feet ! I love interacting with people and sometimes watching those who have had a few is just too funny as they "let their hair down" and act themselves? When is your HM again?

Angie - LOL at your dream with Cathe. So you ordered STS too? We may have to switch this to X/STS Factor down the line, huh? I'm with you on the cleaning thing today. Since I started yesterday I don't want to stop. And DS who lives here has an interview with the CHP (California Highway Patrol) on Oct. 1st here at the house so thought it might be good to spruce things up a bit. I am sooooo keeping my fingers crossed for him - he is so passionate about that being his career and he is not a very motivated child. I'll do whatever I can to make it happen. Whatcha think, shall I bake cookies ! :p:eek::rolleyes:

Will BBL to check to see if anyone else made it here today.

Enjoy your Sunday !
 
Hi ladies,

I love to sleep in on the weekends. A friend of mine from work is coming over today to introduce DH and I to a money making offer he came into. I'm pretty sure its a MLM but we'll see. DH is not into MLM's at all.

I plan on doing kickboxing today, either Kimberly Spreen or Amy Bento. Since I'm going on a trip the beginning of Oct, I don't think I will start the X until after I get back. Now that I think about, since I only have the X+ w/o's now, maybe I can start earlier since there are fewer w/o's.

The boys lost their football game yesterday:mad: The opposing team didn't seem any better than our team, but our small mistakes added up to a loss. Jerod played more and was outstanding when he was in. Hopefully the coaches noticed.

DeeDee-Your workout sounds like my cup of tea. I would love it. I'm sure it must get very tiring towards the end of the w/o. Great Job. I'll have to check into the new Wii games.

Shirl-nice job getting with the kettlebell w/o. I certainly hope the cert. price comes down. I haven't seen any kettlebell w/o's being offered at any of my nearby rec ctrs yet. I'm sure they are coming though!

Wendy-I've been suckin' down the java this morning too. Congrats on the extra dough-always a good thing. Let us know what w/o you end up doing.

Angie-Sounds like it was the morning to sleep in! I have a bit of laundry to do and clean my room. I have magazines all over my dresser and nightstand. I'm tired of the clutter. I too tend to eat more fruits than veggies but am really trying to add more veggies as most of them are free foods on WW.

Sunshine-Nice meeting you. I'm in Colorado so I'm usually a late poster also. I've been trying not to post before work because I tend to spend to long on the computer and then I don't have enough time for my morning workout. DH and I are avid Avs fans! I love the fast pace of Hockey. I'm impatiently waiting for STS too.

Have a great day ladies.
 
Hey girls

I took a break from cleaning, then mom & dad came over and we ordered out pizza and played cards. So much for a break.:p More like a vacation. So, my basement is 1/3 cleaned. *lol*

Wendy - So will you do the bartending thing again?
Wow! You did sleep in. We'll have to make a note of that.:p
Ah yes, the excitement of cleanmax. Woohooo!

Jacque - It's nearly impossible for me to w/o with a HA, especially with weights. The strain of lifting just isn't good for a HA.:(
I hear you about being thankful for your health after not feeling well. I got a 24 hour bug last week and I was/am so thankful when I was over it.
I'm a late poster too, especially on Mondays and Wednesdays when I work. I usually don't workout until after I get home from work and then shower and cook dinner and then finally get around to posting.
Good luck to DS! Oh yes, make cookies....couldn't hurt right?

Shirl - How'd CC#2 go? Do you do that on the TM?

Di - DH had a friend that tried to talk us into an "Amway" type thing once. We politely said no....we have jobs and we're not interesting in selling stuff. It was a pyramid type thing.....so glad we didn't let him talk us into that mess.
Sorry Jarod's team lost but at least he got to play....that's the important thing.;)
Hope you were able to get more cleaning done than I did.

I'll check back with you all tomorrow....

Angie
