Xer Sunday - We're just Love Machines!

[teddy16410]

Excuse me Jeanette- I bumped you going down the hall! **Traci awakens & gets some coffee as Jeanette sleepily heads to bed ;-)**

*Workout * ~ Great Arms (Beach Body) + Mix It Up (Slim series)
I’m going to use more of my other instructors the next several days before vacation as I am bankin’ on the new series being on my desk when I get back! ZIPPITY!

OMG Debra & Nicole you are the absolute craziest girls in Xer Town! How hysterical is Love Machine! I’ll have you know that I can’t get the dang song out of my head now!!!! And Squirrel Brazilian???????? My tummy hurts I’m laughing so loud! OMG Nicole that was absolutely priceless! ~Standing Ovation to both witty Xers!~

Plyo Legs yesterday- YOWZA BABY! That’s such a great w/o! I think I go low and mean in that one because I know its only about 30 minutes of actual “work” if you subtract stretch and Tony banter! LOL ~ Speaking of… I checked out Traci Morrows site the other day http://www.tracimorrow.com/ and OMG her body is so dang lean now! I read 11% now & 20 something % in 2003 (her 1st time pushing play with Master Series)I know shes a runner and still does X with online group over at BB – its simply amazing to see her body as it has progressed thru the various days of Tony products… What an inspiration that woman is!

Sandys walk was sloooooow and short yesterday. Took us about 1 block before I could tell she was struggling a bit- we headed home and she slept all the rest of day! I think short slow walks are good for her tho – she’s not overly thrilled with being controlled on leash but at least she got out a bit.

Hi all,

Another beautiful day. I wanted to go and ride my bike, but in the middle of the night woke up and thought, I bet both pumps are gone! Sure enough, DH has one in the back of the car he took, and DS has the other one. I don't know what I'll do now. I don't really want to go and buy another pump.

I caught up with most of you yesterday.

Annointed - I missed the whole discussion about dreads, but I personally think they are great. I'm too old, but they would have been perfect for me years ago. I don't do hair and probably never will.

Traci - The plyo legs was great! How I miss Tony! I can't wait until I can order the new workouts. Here's my new leg theory. Twice a week lower body after cardio so that the legs are fatigued and I don't have to lift as heavy and I can go lower. Then one day of plyo and another cardio. I was able to build up my upper body with lighter weights so why shouldn't that work with the lower? The jury is still out on floorwork.........I may never get rid of that last little bit in the saddle bag area. My old dog is showing increased signs of aging; difficulty going up the steps. It's never easy when they get old.

Happy Sunday to all,

Tracy

 

[anointed]

Good morning

Rotation: MIS
am: hour jog /completed
pm: MIS upper body & abs

Quick check in headed to early morning service We had a wonderful night, I slept pretty good had about 2 glasses of wine, and eatery hasn't been that great this weekend, oh well, today will be a good day, enough cheat days. Ted likes to eat so diet has to be clean during weekday going back to one cheat day per week

Ted is cleaning my carpet after church, I plan to do upper body while he's doing his thang. I promise I'll be back ;-)

 

[teddy16410]

*Workout * ~ Great Arms (Beach Body) + Mix It Up (Slim series)
Workouts completed & Stretches for upper done - ZIPPITY! Had to modify some of the shoulder stuff in Mix it Up but was still a good overall workout

TracyX
Sorry no bike ride today – maybe a nice walk/lite jog? Its so hard not to go out & exercise when you have perfect days! LOL about missing Tony! I do too- not enough to do X for 12 weeks but certainly I miss the results I got – you have mastered using Cathe in a way that gets you where you want to be- for me I still struggle- maybe its just the mental part of not having it all laid out in perfect order just yet – but I’m getting close. Well you just test that lower theory! Sounds like a great plan so I do hope it works!

TeddyGirl
Well send that handy Ted over my way to fix this dang washer! LOL – Glad you have thoroughly enjoyed your weekend- fabulous workout plan for this fine Sunday!

Thats it for me - time to clean as much as I dread it - boys will be home around 3pm - about the time I'm ready for a nap! :*

 

[Utah Gal]

Aaagh, Traci, a broken washer????? You poor thing! Just what you didn't need. Enjoy that Great Arms and Mix It Up combo. I like Mix It Up.

The package came yesterday afternoon, you sweetheart!!!! I can't believe you. I am sending you an e-mail. What a great b-day I've had.

Teddygirl, glad you're modifying you schedule to accommodate that great Teddy guy. MIS plus an hour jog??? That's a killer workout day. Just perfect.

Today I'm doing Muscle Max plus a 45 min. TM jog. I'd better get busy.

Vic and I had a wonderful date yesterday. Olive Garden - I had Venitian Apricot Chicken. Very light and healthy grilled chicken with brocolli and asparagas. My only sin was a breadstick.

We bought a commercial level steamer like the Tobi steamer on the infomercials from Target - had better customer reviews than the Tobi, and loved it! steams the wrinkles right out of the twisted-up jeans, etc.

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Good Morning Girls,

Today is a rest day for me and I might help at BIL's house. I must hurry to get ready for church because my DH hates when I'm late

Traci-x, Glad to see you're back to your old self and working out an insane amount of time You better keep it light on those arms girl! How did Wendell enjoy the boat? Was he on fire when he returned? I'm singing love machine as we speak Looks like a date for you and the laundry mat next time you have a big comforter.

Cheryl, Sounds like you and your DH had a nice evening Glad I could get a giggle out of you last night. That's the first thing that came to mind when Wendy mentioned a sticky trap and a hairless squirrel

TracyX, Bummer, no bike ride? What's one more bike pump? My DH wouldn't go on a ride without his either. Glad you only have two more Monday night classes.

JeanetteX, My sister's clubs are pink as well How nice of your DS to buy them for you. Sounds like you raised him right! Hope wearing the brace will help that elbow. Well, did you oversee wood chopping or go on a group ride?

WendyX, How are you feeling today? At least you're sick now and not on vacation

Gotta go DH is almost home}(

Good Afternoon Ladies,

I'm not feeling well thanks to dh! Tossed and turned and coughed all night. I never got around to Naked Kenpo. However, I still do a pull-up or chin-up everytime I walk into my bedroom. I still feel like it's not real! Phil says he's going to take down the bar before I hurt myself. HA-HA I am going to muster up the energy and do my best today. My legs are still DOMMY from L&B. I might do some yoga afterwards.

I've been busy reading Merri's blog, starting from the beginning. (Thankfully, she's not long winded like me! ;-))She's the lady who lives in Thailand that I met on the homeschooling board. We've been exchanging emails and getting to know one another. I hope to visit her during our trip. Her blog is very sweet, informative, and funny. They've been living in Thailand for a year now. For anyone interested in reading about her perspective in living a total culture shock, here it is:

BBL for personals. Gotta order the book she was talking about in her blog about Thai life.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy

Good morning,

No group bike ride for me as I told DH I'd help him cut wood today. I talked him into going later and I did intervals 1-5 of Tracy Staehle High Intensity Mix Step and about 10 minutes of her abs. However, he's still out there sharpening his chainsaws. Guess he and DD hit rocks with them and dulled them a bit. I think we are going to get juniper wood today, really hard stuff on the chainsaws, but burns very hot and long. I'm hoping that if we get home soon enough (only getting a small pickup load) I'll be able to do a bike ride by myself.

Traci, glad you could get Sandy out for a little walk yesterday. Bet it was good for her mind, even if she was slow and it was a bit painful. Yes, I'll get used to the pink clubs. I've always been such a tomboy so pink was never one of my favorite colors. Oh well, they look to be a decent set to start out with. The club faces only have a little bit of pink on them, it's the bag that is bright pink. I do have a cool Bag Boy push cart though. Sorry about the washing machine. What needs to be done to it to get it fixed? Is Wendell home yet? Hope he's pretty mechanical and can save the price of a repairman. DH can do that kind of stuff but really doesn't like to.

Tracy, sorry you couldn't go on the bike ride. It's beautiful outside right now and the group ride is going on. I'll miss them, but didn't think DH would like it if I skipped out 2 days in a row. Good workout plan for your legs! With my lazy mindset right now, doubt I will get the new P90Xer workouts.

Anointed, you sound so happy!!! My carpet cleaning guy will come in November. I've got to look at this dirty rug for another month at least.

Cheryl, your time out at Olive Garden sounds wonderful. Way to go on staying so disciplined!

Nicole, I bought my own clubs, DS bought the new cool cart, balls, tees, support, all the other stuff. He has always been a giver. We're really proud of him as he just made journeyman lineman last week. He was an apprentice for 3 years. He's making the big $$ now, but a dangerous job. I try not to think about it too much. He wants to have a party at our house in a couple of weeks to celebrate. Hope church was good. Were you late? My DH is the one that is always dragging his feet a little. I'm the one out in the car trying to resist honking the horn like my Dad used to do to Mom. It never made her go any faster (I think she purposely went slower) so I don't think it would work on my DH either.

Wendy, sorry you aren't better today. How about eating some of that spicy Thai food? I've got to try some someday. Everyone seems to rave about it. Way to go on the chin/pullups.

Must peek out to see if DH has that chainsaw sharpened yet. Daylight is a'burning you know!

Hi all!! Here I am! I am sure you will all be shocked to find out I did NOT take a nap today! I wanted to, but things just didn't work out that way. DD had a bday party to go to this afternoon....My BFF left around lunch time....quick trip this time. We had a great time last night, though. Had a great dinner at the oyster bar. The seafood was so fresh! We had oysters, tuna, and shrimp. Not a vegetable in sight...but lots of yummy protein!

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

Traci...So glad you liked the lyrics to "Love Machine"! I just love the internet...all kinds of useful (and useless) information to be had! Sorry sweet Sandy is struggling so much right now. It's good to get her out, though, I'm sure. You crazy woman...up and down last night! Glad you got your workout in, though. Who is watching your babies while you are on vacation? I am assuming Wendell is headed to CA with you. Hope you got your nap in before the boys got home. I am sure DH had a great time on the new boat! What's wrong with your washer?? Darn...you mean no laundry?!?

Tracy...So sorry you couldn't get your ride in today! Those pumps are never where you need them. It is such a great day too. What a bummer. Can't even imagine that your "saddle bag" area has anywhere to go!

Teddygirl...Look at you...you have your man cooking and cleaning for you! How does that work??? One lucky girl! I am voting on the dreads...get your hair healthy first, though.

Cheryl...Glad you had a great date night! Sounds like you have a good workout today, too.

Nicole....You give me a big belly laugh this morning with the image of the squirrel! Thanks so much! Have fun on your rest day...I guess your cold is a bit better?

Wendy...So sorry you are feeling yucky today, you poor baby! You are cracking me up with the chin-ups! Just think of all of the muscles you are building each time you walk by that bar. Don't let Phil take it down...Your back must be cut! Hope you felt well enough to get naked and do Kenpo today.

Jeanette...DH gave you a guilt trip, hunh? Hope you got a ride in by yourself today at least. I did get a laugh yesterday picturing you standing outside looking in at the warm wood stove! It is good that you can do your part so that you can come in from the cold. Just can't picture you with pink clubs!

Okay...caught up for now...Hope everyone has a great night. I ended up doing more yoga today...tomorrow will be SH chest and back.

Had a good time up at my mom and dad's until my Chargers got killed!!x(x( They are sooo bad this year! Darned coaches!!

DebraX, Sounds like you had such a good time at dinner with your BFF Glad I could get a giggle out of you

WendyX, Sorry to hear you're feeling so crummy All of this chin-up talk is making me want to try on a real chin-up bar. Maybe in a few months

JeanetteX, Sorry you didn't get to go on your group ride. Did you end up going by yourself later? Are you full up on wood for the winter? It was 85 here today so the thought of a fire was not on my mind.

See you girls tomorrow,

Nicole
