Good morning,

The planets are out of alignment. I'm starting the thread today.

In 10 minutes I'm off to the basement to do GS Chest, BodyBlast Timesaver: SBcombo3, SJP hi/lo #1 and Shiva Rea's Creative Core Abs.

Already dreading the chest workout. All the more reason to get it over with.

I hope you all have good workouts today. I can't believe Teddygirl's afternoon party for a 4 year old boy turned into an all-nighter. I wonder how that happened??

JeanetteX - it sounds like you're really liking this golfing thing. Yes, I love Little Miss Sunshine. One of my favs.

BBL,
SandraX
 
Happy Good Morning Xer Buddies!

Happy Birthday Ms Laurie XX

Welcome Home R/T'ers!!!!!!

Still at Bay trying to finish the stairs project.... SLOW GOING w/ heat index 110+ last 3 days...

I shall officially return tomorrow but wanted to say hello to all the gals I've missed the past week.

I am planning on starting a P90X Phase 3 rotation when I get home until my California trip in October... Need to shake things up BIG TIME- Been a very bad girl since being at bay since Thursday!

XXOOXXOOOXOXOOXOXOXOXO LOVE YOU ALL!!!
 
Good morning,

Hi everyone, and welcome back from RT trip :) can’t wait to see pictures:)

This morning, I did GS legsx( I will check back later
 
Good morning,
It was SJP/Step Blast step and weights this morning. I will be doing a very short (15 minute or so) spin on the bike after work as I have a time trial tomorrow night. Not really looking forward to it as the winds have been fierce in the afternoon.

Sandra, nice little workout you have planned. You had quite a list of things to do the other day. How is the cake decorating going? Yes, I too am wondering about Anointed's 4 year old party. Hopefully, she will divulge. I think I will sign up through the college for a golf course this fall. I'll get some instruction and then see if golf is my thing or not.

Traci, so glad to hear from you!!! We miss you and hope you have re-centered and are feeling better. Are the stairs almost done? Bet you guys have really been working hard on it.

Anointed, tell us about your party. How did it get to be an all-nighter?

Got to run,

Jeanette
 
WENDY X!!!
The Xer pics are FABULOUS!!! I love your captions!.... Wendells gonna KILL me if I dont get off this computer....

SandraX.... You are officially the Xer Thread Starter- sorry no raise just prestige!

TeddyGirl... Hope the infection is all gone by now-- I'm not going to try and read all the missed days..

JeanetteX... YES I feel MAH-VA-LOUS! Well except for the extra 5#s from excess junk eating past week... I feel all re-prioritized... Ready to get back in the game.

Happy day to everyone else...I shall have to sign off until tomorrow!
XXOO
 
Gotta tell you..I was happy to see that Sandra started this thread this morning...Hopefully things are starting to shift back into place! Had a friend over for dinner and cocktails last night...it was good to see him. We've know each other for over 15 years and it's just really comfortable. I spent all night talking about my marital woes...nice, hunh? I did end up taking a rest yesterday...I just couldn't mentally get into working out. I do have on my workout clothes, though, as I type this...and my dvd is already in the player upstairs. No excuses today! I am planning on CTX Kickboxing plus abs...may tack on a bit extra cardio if I am feeling spunky...but not counting on that at this moment.

Road Trippers.....Welcome back!!!!! We want pics and details!!!!

a few personals.....

Sandra....Hope you're out of the basement and done with chest...Just think of all those great DOMS you will have tomorrow! When does your DD start back to school? Mine starts a week from today...and she is so ready!! Bored and mopey around the house. Is your oldest DD starting 2nd grade?

Teddygirl...I have GS legs on tap tomorrow, I think...We'll see how that goes...LOL!! I can't believe you stayed up until 7 am the other night...I don't think I could do that anymore!

Traci...Glad to see that you are doing well. I am sure you have had a great time at the Bay...Hope DH caught lots of yummy fishes for you to cook! I guess you guys got a ramp made for sweet Sandy if you were able to hang around all weekend. Another round of the X, hunh?? God bless you little heart! I am looking forward to "seeing" you tomorrow!

Jeanette...Sorry those darn tiling fairies never showed up! They are never around when you need them! Can't wait to see pics of your finished project. Glad you had fun on your ride yesterday. I may end up at the bike store this afternoon...need to get out of the house! Good to hear that Tillie is back to her normal sassy self. My BFF has a daschund and, boy, is he trouble! He really likes to eat the crotch out of panties and bathing suits...he steals them and then takes them under one of the beds and you can hear him under there just shredding away! Bad dog! He has a new thing now, too...He won't let anyone else but my friend take him on a walk to potty. She is working and needs a pet sitter to come over and walk him in the afternoon, but he just sits on the couch barking and growling and won't let anyone get his leash on. Lots of trouble, that one!

Nicole...I am sure that the fruit and chicken completely canceled out anything bad that was attached to the cinnamon rolls. LOL about the earth muffins...haven't heard that one before! Have fun with GS this week...I am sure your muscles will be popping by the end of your rotation!

Okay...think I am caught up for now....Will bbl to check on everyone.

Waving to Laurie, Tracy, Wendy (hope you got some sleep), Swifty, Amy and Cheryl anyone else that I missed! Look forward to seeing you ladies back soon!

Wendy...Just returning after looking at your picture trail...What a blast you guys had!! Thanks so much for posting all the pics. Everyone looks wonderful. And, my dear, you don't need to change your hair...silly thing! Please be sure to pass along any gossip when you rest up and have time to post! I am so jealous you were able to meet Cathe and crew...but more importantly some fellow Xers. Thanks again for the pics!!

SandraX: Get to the basement NOW :) x(

TraciX: Hurry back, I miss talking to you:) tooth is better thanks for asking. Did I hear you right, another round of P90X? :)

WendyX: thanks for sharing pictures, everyone like so nice, and I know you guys had fun, awesome ;)
 
Good Morning Ladies!!! Er, I mean afternoon!:7

I fixed my monitor's resolution. Love it for pictures. Hate it for reading Cathe's forums as the font sizes are so small. Off to wash up and get some coffee.

BBS!
Wendy
 
Wendy, what is the link to your Picturetrail? I'm dying to see the pics you took.

Everyone- can I just tell you that Wendy, Amy Swifty and Amy are the BOMB. What a great group of gals. I was humbled and honered in their presence.

My favorite pic I saw shot was Amy Swifty flexing her bi's with Lorraine... and I have to just say Wendy is the cutest thing EVER. Love her!! Amy was the best roommate a gal could have asked her. I will love her for life.

Well, my great plan to do MIC this morning turned into 20 min. of MIC step followed by the stab. ball segment of B&G. My spirit is exuberant, but my body was stiff. I've never done a full kickbox workout before and have now done two in a row, on Sat. and Sunday (Sunday's qualifies as "sort of". Didn't have nearly the spirit left I'd been able to call upon for all of Saturday).

Have a great one!

Cheryl
 
May 07' Rotation

SJ&P/Step Blast "Step &Weights" Premix#23 (61 min)

Great workout this morning! I am headed off to the beach with DH & DC. I'll be back later to check up on all the RT news!

Hi Ladies!!!!

I didn't forget about y'all! I have to meet Jenn at the trails for a power walk. Plus I forgot my Cathe bag in her car. I'll be back soon with details and personals.

How do I set my preferences up to always include a link to my picturetrail site without having to always type it with every post?

Love!!!
Wendy

Hello Everyone,

Just popping in for a short note to let you all know I'm still alive.

Not doing too good on my Birthday. Started having a cough on Friday, and as of today it has progressed into a darn awful cold. I have been in bed for most of the day. :)

Oldest DD started cross country this morning, and came home sore, tired, and happy. Guess she likes to run. :)

Hope all you Road Trippers had a great time.

Laurie
 
Mon w/o - Lifting heavy laundry baskets to the washline and fro the washer
Running in circles around the kitchen putting things away.

No other wo planned for today. I am satisfied with the feeling of exhaustion following a faaannnntastic RT. :7

What a beautiful and fun group of women to hang with for a weekend of exercise frenzy! Lovely all of them! Especially cute xer's Amy, Cheryl, & Wendy.

Wendy- Thanks for posting that evil pic of me coming into the line during relay. :D It's so flattering;-)

Cheryl- Yea, can't wait to get that pic developed with Loraynne and I. It will be several days as I took my pics with a camera loaded with film! Loving all the photos posted out there. Well, except for one (you know who).

Amy - you must be enjoying your little vacation in full force by now. Have fun!

Laurie - Sorry to hear you are not at your best. Best wishes to you on your Bday! Eat cake when you are able to enjoy. :9

Missed all you x'ers over the weekend. I sure hope to get back into the swing real soon. Bye for now! Time to hang while the sun is shining. Looking like the lawn grew too. Mowing is in my future.:)
 
Do you ladies mind if I join in? I met Wendy yesterday at brunch at the Road Trip, and she said this is the BEST check-in ;-) I don't post here a ton, so I'll fill you in on me... I'm a 29yo SAHM of 3 kiddos (Nathan will be 9 later this month, Anna is 6 and Lillian is 3.5). I homeschool all of them and love that. I've been working out regularly since Jan '05 starting with Crunch (hey, ya gotta start somewhere, lol). I moved on to The Firm in Jan '06, and when that wasn't enough, I graduated to Cathe in April '06. She's awesome and I LOVE her workouts. I've also invested in P90X and have done several of the workouts (but never a full rotation). I'm planning to join Wendy on a P90X rotation in November (are all of you doing that?) and I'm getting back to heavy lifting starting today with Gym Style Back, Shoulders & Biceps. Those band bonuses sure do BURN! I did do my own P90X-style rotation using Cathe workouts (S&H and GS) alternated with others (did some Powerstrike and the occasional Tracey Staehle and Kelley Coffey-Meyer) this past winter and saw FABULOUS results, so I'm looking forward to lifting heavy again. Anyway, I hope to get to know you all!

Carol
 
Hi Carol!!!! Yes...you are welcome to join our check in!! We love new people. Sounds like you guys had an awesome time at the RT. I am not going to do P90X in Nov...but I know a couple of others are. We'll try to keep you filled in on who everyone is...It's hard to keep up at first...but then you sort of get the hang of it. Have a great evening and we're happy to have you!

I ended up doing CTX KB today plus abs...no extra cardio..surprise surprise!! LOL! I actually got sidetracked with some personal issues this morning, so I didn't start working out until after 1 this afternoon. I have GS legs on the books for tomorrow...but I imagine I won't get to that until late afternoon. I am taking the kitty to the groomer in the morning for a full body shave and a nail trim. Should be interesting...since she really is an ornery critter. Then to the grocery etc.

Let me catch up with a few personals....

Wendy...Thought you were heading back this way...I guess life got in the way a bit...LOL! When do you start back with school for your girls?

Cheryl...Enjoyed seeing the pics of you on Wendy's trail. You look great! I am proud of you for being able to hang with the exercise mania for 2 days! I imagine that deserves a lighter day. Where are you traveling to next?

Laurie...You poor thing! First of all, happy birthday! Next...So sorry you are sick!! That really su**s! Take care of yourself and get better soon.



Nicole....Hope you had a great time at the beach with your boys! I am seriously jealous. I am thinking I am going to bake in the back yard tomorrow...my face is getting pale.

Okay be back in a bit!

Hey girls,

Happy Birthday Laurie!!!! Hope you feel better soon:)

Traci-X, Glad to see your post today and I like the new website:) Don't kill yourself making the stairs for Sandy:p So glad you're ready to jump back in with both feet!

WendyX, Thanks for the great pictures. It all looks like so much fun. I so hope I can be with you all next year! It's almost your birthday too!! Any cute clothes in the works or just the RT? Do tell! Phil is such a sweety, I know he has something planned!

Cheryl, Glad you got the pics! There were some great ones of you in there:) I have to browse around the forum ans see who else has posted some. So glad you had a great time!

SandraX, Way to start the post today!!! You're starting a trend, maybe? Only three more days until your birthday! What are you going to do? Did you make your cake already? Too bad Cathe's Workout Blender wasn't done, you could ask for that:)

JeanetteX, Hope the winds die down a little for your trial. DH hates it when he has a strong headwind! I liked the workout this morning and made sure to lift extra heavy since it was shorter. I am doing Imax 3 intervals 6-10 & Coremax instead of what was on tap. I am changing up this weeks workouts to get more strength in there. I'm adding PS in on Wednesday.

DebraX, LOL! about the crotch-eating killer daschund. I'm glad you had someone to vent to about DH. Whenever DH and I are having problems I talk to his mom about it. I figure she can forgive him because it's her son, whereas if I told my mom she might be angry with him. It seems to work well and my DMIL always listens.

Swift AmyX, You are famous now that your picture is up on the blog:) You are so fit! Looks like you had a blast!! Hope everything gets in order around there soon. That's the thing about going out of town, nothing gets done until you get back:p

Carol, WELCOME!! Now I'm not the baby anymore:D I just turned 31 and I also have three DC. My youngest is two and my oldest is 8 and they're all boys:p We are a chatty bunch and all of these women are such GREAT supporters! So motivating and honest and beautiful! We look forward to having you chat with us:)

See you all later,

Nicole
