Good Morning Girls!

It's another quickie for me. I overslept so no run for me this morning. I have to pick out my cardio for today and get busy or I'll quickly run out of time!

BBL though!;)
 
Turbo Jam Cardio Party (with weighted gloves) and the floor portion of Ab Jam is done and I feel great! :D I'm all warmed up to shake it tonight now! LOL :p

Gotta get a move on now...BBL!
 
Good Morning!

I'm under the weather so no workout for me yesterday or today. I have a fever, the chills, cough, etc. I'm not a happy camper. I didn't even log on yesterday. The computer screen makes me a dizzy.

Wendy, TJCP is a blast! Have you ever gone to a live TK class? They are so fun!

I'll check in later to catch up with personals.
 
Hey chickadees!!

Sorry I've been MIA for so long now, but it's becoming harder and harder to get here from work these days! You'll have to forgive my lack of personals, but I need to be quick before someone else pops back into my office and I'm busted :eek:

I've been using Jari Love exclusively for my weights these days, and I don't know why, but she kicks my butt!! There's something about endurance work that just drains me. However, I do think I'm seeing some changes lately, and have lost a pound or two. I'm going to stick wit her for a while and hope that trend continues. ANd of course, I'm enjoying my Cathe dvds for cardio. I did LowMax this morning, which felt pretty good. Haven't used that one in a long time.

Gotta get back to work...the boss will be back in the office soon...but I'll be checking in later if I get the chance. Hope everyone is doing well ~

Hey there chickies !

B & G Leg Blast Premix is done, as I didn't feel like a 78 min workout today ! May fill in a bit after work, but depends on what I feel like getting done around the house when I get home. Am thinking of cutting out of work a bit early . . . :rolleyes:

Can't believe the rotation is almost over. Still thinking of Cathe's Nov. rotation as I am feeling like some heavier weights right now and really craving to run again.

Wendy - I have only done that one once but loved the 'dancy' style as I love to boogie. Have fun tonight, salsa lessons, right?

Shirl - < < < feel better > > > vibes on their way. Hoping the computer screen stops turning in circles so at least you can "play" a bit today! :p

Hey to the rest of you - BBL.
 
Morning Ladies..

The eye thing turned into a cluster migraine .. but I still think my eye is what caused it .. had to drug up and go home .. laid out on the couch for 1.5 days :( Still not feeling up to par .. I think all the stress of the past few weeks finally took it's toll on me!!

GOOD NEWS though :eek: NO STRIKE!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY :D DH came home last night .. and will only have an 8 hour shift today!! :D wooohooo .. thank goodness. But poor baby has a HORRIBLE cold ... guess the long hours, stress, and cool temps did him in .. he sounds HORRIBLE .. barely any voice - fever - and congestion .. he is NEVER sick .. well hardly ever .. he blames being cooped up w/a bunch of germs!! :confused: whatever he is sick .. and of course HAS to work!! but at least it is only 8 hours today!!:)

Wendy .. yayayaya .. you finally get to do the salsa class .. HOW FUN!!!! DH isn't jealous of BMF and you getting "down and dirty" .. lol... I would love to take some salsa dance class .. but DH would NEVER ... and I really can not think of any male friends that would . .. LOL . but how fun!! have a blast!!!

Jacque .. not sure if Buster "made contact" w/Toots .. but she is coming out . . and man oh man is she being a B### .. LOL YOWZA .. poor Buster he goes to walk into a room .. all slinked over .. sneaking around .. and sticks his head in to see where she is b-4 he enters .. lol ... if he didn't he missed his chance b/c she HATES him right now .. LOL!!!

Di .. NO PHONES and more time .. even possibility of working from home ???? OMG .. that would be a dream come true!! YA for you!!! sounds like you are going to be loving your new/old position!!

Shirl .. hope the crud is shortlived .. I am starting airborn today .. b/c I am afraid I will catch DH crud .. he has got it bad!! Hope it doesn't linger for you .. sending healing vibes!!

Jen .. LOL about sneaking on the computer at work .. I am kinda protected from onlookers .. so I try to get here and post . . then get back to work .. breaks the monotony!!! LOL

Ang .. wish you could see the insanity of Buster and Toots antics .. and yes he is PETRIFIED of her .. LOL .. right now I dont blame him .. she has turned into an UBER B### .. now I know why the call female dogs B###es .. LOL .. YIKES .. he walked by her last night she was laying her head in my lap and she LUNGED at him .. tore his little butt up .. he just looked at her and whinned and walked slowly off keeping his eyes on her .. LOL!! Poor baby!! He is having to sleep in my room and she has the rest of the house to herself .. LOL!!

DeeDee .. thanks for the well wishes .. the positive vibes from you girls must have worked .. I am so glad they came to their senses and took the contract .. whew!!!

OH my thanks to all you ladies who have been exercising for me .. I sure do need it .. feeling like a bloated sloth .. PMS monster is not helping my feelings ... not one bit!!!! have a great one .. and great sweaty workouts!!!:D
 
Hi Girls-

I can't even remember if I checked in yesterday. Anyway, I had a blast doing Imax 3 yesterday! I had to be at work at 6:45am this morning for a breakfast meeting. Needless to say I did not workout this morning. I am so tired and it's only noon.

Wendy-Nice job getting your w/o done this morning, even if it wasn't as early as you had hoped. Have fun with the salsa lessons, they sound like fun.

Shirl-sending healthy vibes your way. Hope you feel better soon.

Jacque-I'm loosely following the Nov rotation. I too am loving the heavier weights. I'm off on the days but am trying to get all the workouts in. This week called for Imax 2 but 3 is so much more fun and challenging that I did that one instead. PS is a nice change of pace and I love the GS series.

Jen-Glad you are enjoying your Jari Love w/o's. I didn't care for her and gave them to another Catheite. It's nice when you actually find something that makes the changes in your body that you're looking for.

Laura-Glad to hear there is no strike!!! Sending healthy vibes to DH too. I have my first staff meeting with my new/old team. I am thankful that I can work from home again and have a more flexible schedule.

Angie-I seem to miss you. You have turned into the late poster of the group. How is Cody's basketball team doing? Jerod doesn't start basketball until Jan. I think wrestling is over the end of this month.

Have a great day ladies.
 
Question for my fitness gurus

What do you girls think about Kelly Coffee Myers?? I just watched a clip of her new 30 min. boot camp w/o .. looks different .. and interesting .. do any of you do her w/o's???
 
Oh yes, lunch time is here !

Jen - guess we posted at the same time this AM. I just checked from my last post forward and wondered what others were responding to? :confused: Now I get it ! LOL ! Good to see you made it here, hoping you didn't get busted !:rolleyes: Have never done Jari at all - what is the difference between her endurance workouts and Cathe's? Read that lots of others like her workouts too.

Congrats on seeing some changes and lost lbs. too ! What more can you ask for? Hope it continues for you.

Laura - Y E E H A W ! The worker's didn't strike ! Sorry DH had to pay by getting sick, but I'd take that in a heartbeat over a strike ! Enjoy your evening if your "eye" will let you ! Hope the head is feeling better.

LOL at the big lunch and SUPER CARDIO at class tonite. I remember my fav instructor years back 'punished' us too when she had 'indulged' a bit the day before. Fair? Not really? Challenging? Yeppers ! :D Kick some bootie in class! No Kelley for me - didn't watch the clips either. Am looking forward to STS and may get a weight bench that will double as a squat rack so that will be all on the exercise $ front for me. Unless y'all get me enabled somehow !:eek:

Angie - sorry about the 'yucks', but helping with the eating is good.;) I always like having my guys fend for themselves so they learn to appreciate it? (Well a girl can hope, huh?) I really like CF and haven't done it for a while, but will pull it out when I feel like something different and HARD. They higher step always kicks it into gear for me.

I'll blow some "D" toward you when I go home today ! Weather is saying we will be high 70's later this week. I'll take it, but wanted to get to some inside chores too. :confused: I don't do the OSHA meetings myself, but as HR, keep track that they are done monthly.

Well the Sharks lost last night at home for the first time this season. They hit a record with 53 shots on goal for the game, but defense and goalie weren't playing the best. We lost in OT. Oh well, on to Thurs. game. Hoping they play a bit better - but they are looking sooooo good this year which is what I like. Playing like a team with everyone contributing.

So how are the BBall games going? You had a long day the other day, right?

Diana - Ah yes, the IMaxes seem to increase in intensity from the original to #3, huh? I still like some of the moves in 2, but 3 is the cat's meow for IMaxes IMO also. I haven't done PS for a while, and like you, really enjoy the GS series. I like switching between two DVD's during the month so, yep, Nov rotation it will be. Maybe we will hit some of the same weeks. Which weight DVD will you be doing next week?

Dee Dee - nice job with the sprints. No iTreads for me, yet . . . I started with CC's, but just may have to try one here one of these days. Hope you have a little more time here soon so we can catch up with you.

Well, caught up for now - guess I better go back to work.:(
 
Hi Girls.

Slacker reporting in for duty. I havent' done personals in a couple of days now. Shame on me. :eek:

Ang: No it wasn't groove that gave me the achin' core, it was Centergy! :eek: I can't wait to take that class again but it's not lookin' good this month. Groove is probably my best bet these days...

Jen: Glad you were able to pop in even if only for a fly-by! We miss ya when you're not around. :) Glad you are enjoying Jari's work outs and seeing results. Love it when that happens.

Laura: Yay for DH and no strike! Too bad DH won't take lessons with ya. Luckily my DH likes to dance for the most part and obviously my BMF likes to dance as well. Most of my friends are bigger dancers then I am. I love country dancing the most. Freestyle I can get into if I am drinking but otherwise forget about it! LOL

Diana: YIKES! A breakfast meeting!? I don't blame you for not working out! I hope you can catch a work out later on!

Jacque: LOL about jinxing me. I only have a few more work outs to go and I will have completed my first full rotation in ages! Go me! :p So you definatley going to do the November rotation? I'm still undecided.

Sunny: Great work out this morning! Sorry you didn't have more time to chat. Perhaps tmrw will be a less hectic day for you. :)

Shirl: Sending healthy vibes your way! I haven't been feeling that great myself! I've had a phlegmy cough for almost 2 weeks now and intermittently feel crappy as well. I am not SICK but I am not 100% either. I'm just lingering in limbo here and I HATE IT!:mad: Hope you feel better soon!:)

All caught up! BBL! :D
 
Good evening girls

Yup, miss late poster at it again tonight. After work, got home and did S&A and ARX which is a 75 min w/o. Ug! I wasn't sure if I had enough umph to make it thru, but I did pretty well and mostly matched my previous weights so I couldn't complain. Then it was a quick protein shake, shower, and off to Cody's game. It was another nail biter and they won!:D I can't keep my butt glued to the seat during those games....geez, they are exhausting!:eek: LOL! Then we went out to dinner after that b/c it was too late to cook anything (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!). We didn't walk back in the door until 9, so here I finally am.

Shirl - So sorry to hear about the yucks. It's going around, that's for sure. Thankfully I only got a small bout of it and am on the mend, but there's lots of folks up north feeling miserable.:( Rest, take lots of fluids, and take care of yourself girl.;)

Jen - Hmmm - you got me thinkin' again about Jari's w/o's. There's still a couple of em' I haven't tried. It's awesome that you are getting results. Endurance w/o's whoop my butt too.
How's the pooch doing?

Jacque - B&G is a long w/o. I think that's why I don't reach for it as much as I should.
You know, when I get sick, I crave nasty foods and not the good stuff that I should have. I had to go to Micky D's yesterday and got sundaes for everyone. I "needed" a hot fudge sundae and chicken nuggests. I didn't even know which drive thru window to stop at since I hardly ever go there. *lol* But, nothin' beats their ice cream. Yummy! ACK!!
The long days will go away once B-ball season is over. It only lasts about 5 weeks so it won't be long. I'm gonna miss it when it's over.
Ahhhhh - I would be basking in your weather.:D Sounds wonderful! Can you run comfortably outside all year long?

Diana - Early morning meetings kick my arse. I'm in such a fog on those days.
Cody's team is doing really well, unfortunately not much thanks to Cody. *lol* He's having fun though and coach is starting to ride him more, which is starting to get to him.....but it's OK, Cody needs to hear it from someone other than mom and dad. He's not much of a runner and gets tired really easily. He really needs to get more exercise, but we'll tackle that issue after the season is over. I'm thinking about maybe a TM purchase, but I fear he wouldn't use it. Although, I would!
The wrestling season is almost over already?? Didn't it just start? How's Jarod liking it?
So glad the new/old job is back on!

Laura - Booo on those migranes.:( What'd the eye Dr. say? Hope you are getting some relief.
So relieved to hear DH is outta the woods. Whew! Sorry that he is sick but it's a small price to pay eh? I'll bet he's glad to be gettin the heck out of those trailers. Maybe the strikers decided to turn on the TV and see all the plants that are closing their doors. It sure is scarey out there right now.
How much longer will the pups be nutty? Yikes! It's gotta be funny as heck in your house right now though.:eek:
Haven't done any KCM w/o's....sorry can't help you there.
Have fun with Super Cardio tonight.

Wendy - Ah yes, the Centergy class! I'd love to try that out just once. *lol* Just once!
So how long are the dance classes? Just once a week or more often? Sounds fun!
Hope you start feeling better soon. Seems as if we are all passing a bug around.

Heya Dee Dee

I'll chit chat with you all tomorrow....but not too early.;)

Angie
