Who’s the Xer with a BIRTHDAY TODAY that lifts heavier than most of us put together????
Why its AMY!!!! Happy happy day to our gal that inspires!

Workout: P90X Shoulders Chest Triceps
~ For those thinking of my bum….YES it’s still sore but at least I can tell we are improving! I can’t even think about tomorrow being lower day…Tell me it ain’t so! ~

Today is my first day of training with a client! Its one of my friends that I am giving 8 free sessions to- VERY EXCITED! I will be training her around 5pm. I feel like my first day of school...Keep your fingers & toes crossed! I so hope I feel confident as I need to get paying clients...DH just informed me last night that he's ready for his new boat- its DOUBLE the cost he told me it would be last year...Needless to say we had a "silent" evening! When he started snoring this morning I just about hit him with a shoe! Mama's NOT a happy camper!

On to BETTER things~ Caught most of you on yesterdays board ! Happy Day to all!!!!


[i ]AMY[/i]
Well How’s the birthday girl today? Going out for a yummy breakfast I hope! LOL on your DOMS- silly girl- When you lift those kinds of CRAZY weights every inch of your body must hurt! Honestly Amers- I cannot believe how strong you got and so quickly! ~ HUGELY productive day for you yesterday! Are you preparing for what looks like a Florida Hurricane developing? Does Pensacola ever get it bad or are you too far inland? In any case- the evacuation invite extends BOTH directions my dear… If you guys ever need us we are here.

[i ]WENDY-X[/i]
ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL
I can only imagine what you did to YOUR parents to deserve such joyful memories! OMG that is the funniest 911 story! And then to have found a mother that has your cloned children selling cards on e-bay! My stomach is hurting I am laughing so hard! LOL also on the printer! Now you sound like me woman! Just go get what ya need! Hope you got a great one! Thanks for the belly laughs this morning.

Feeling MUCH BETTER today I hope!!!

Thats it this morning- XXOOXXOO
 
Hi all,

I read the posts off and on from work yesterday, but never had time to get back to post.

I was so tired yesterday afternoon, but ended up doing 30 minutes SS on the elliptical and then CTX upper split, that the rotation called for. That was difficult since I just did it to failure two days before. I do think that there is some benefit using the same routine for a while. It allows you to get used to the moves and really work to failure. I used to switch up my weight work almost every session, but I think staying with the same thing for a few times is beneficial too. I am sore all over, which usually doesn’t happen to me.

Today is a run and the extra butt workout.

Traci – Good luck on working with the new client today. I'm sure you will do great. I saw a big difference when I pretty much quit eating meat. I haven’t given it up, but I try to use fish and eggs for my protein. How much protein do you try to get daily? I think that I’m still low. It’s not in my nature to eat all of that protein. I bought some new powder yesterday. It has 27g so that will help.

Debra – I’m still thinking about you. If it’s any consolation, I’m sure everything will get better. At least you have DS.

Sandra - I hope all is well. I get so mad when I loose a post. I open up a word document.

Nicole - I didn't see a post yesterday. I hope all is well and the back is doing great.

Carol – I would have never done 300 walking lunges except that the rotation called for them. It wasn’t as bad as you would think. I went outside and did them which helped. It definitely set the legs up to be fatigued for the rest of the week.

Jenn – I’m sure you weren’t a difficult parent like I am talking about difficult. I respect and admire parents who are knowledgeable and advocate for their children. I get a little frustrated with the ones who are overly demanding; one mother of a very disabled child called and complained because her child’s name wasn’t on the welcome letter. Well, no kids name is on the welcome letter and her kid will never read. Then, yesterday we finished an IEP that we had at least spent 9 hours of meetings in with the parent. This is another very disabled child and the Mom has moved him from school to school only to his detriment. The stories go on and on. My DH is very ADHD. I understand how difficult it can be to complete school work and stay organized. I’m glad DS is doing better.

Teddygirl – I’d forgotten about Pinky’s version of LM. I printed it out. I’ll do that soon. I used to do a great variation of The Gauntlet, which is similar, but I took out all of the upper and did step ups when Cathe was doing upper. It was great. So many workouts and no time, nor energy.

Laurie – I always feel so guilty when I buy a dvd and don’t use it.

Cherly – The smaller meals during the day work for me too. I don’t eat any artificial sweetners though. I have to watch the sugar. A little can turn into an addiction real fast. Great job on loosing the weight. If you want a sweet bar, the Zone are really sweet, and I felt lots of energy when I was just about at a wall one day when we were hiking. I think they are 30 -30-40.

Amy – Happy Birthday! I’m having the same trouble with my forearms. When I picked up the weights for the rows last night I’m like OMG, my forearms! That’s why I put in the pull/chin ups, because I can’t use enough weight because of the forearms, yet the pull/chins make the back stronger and then it is a vicious cycle. I think I’ll look into the straps.

Wendy – Glad you got the books ordered. I was coming back last night, but never got back to the computer either. I didn’t have anything planned for dinner and made what everyone called “interesting” vegetable soup. I ate a salad.

Off to work. I've been busy which is good. I also have been starting early, but can't seem to be able to leave early. I don't like that.

Tracy
 
Hi Ladies ~ :)

Up bright and early this morning, the alarm went off and I was wide awake...thought about going back to sleep, but knew I would feel so much worse if I did. I should make some b'fast, but I so want my usual doughnut from Wawa :9 My eating has been horrible, please help me !!! :)

Amy ~ HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! :):):) Hope you have a Wonderful Day!!

Traci-X ~ Good Luck today w/ your 1st client, how excited!! :) LOL, about DH wanting a larger boat this year...gotta love em' :) Do you find w/ your DH that they think they can purchase anything and then the one day you come home from the mall w/ things, they blow their Top ... Argh!!!

Tracy ~ Great work on pushing yourself yesterday on your WO. Now I wish I can do that. It def has been a lazy 2-weeks. I promise myself this weekend I am going to start the Faux P90X Rotation Carol provided to me...I should of started last week... Grrrr!!!
Have a great run & butt workout today!! :)

Off to shower and get to work a little earlier today to catch up.
BBL ~

XoXo

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning

Passing the freshly ground/brewed coffee around

Wishing lots of luck to Traci and her first client! I hope that all will go well with your first 'day of school'!!! Thanks for the evacuation invite. We get our fair share of hurricanes, and we are actually not all that far inland. I can walk across the street and walk down to the beach of an inlet, but actual "gulf" is over a mile a way. Good luck to you with your workout today....mine is upper body as well, although it's supposed to be at the gym, I don't think that I'll make it there today. Some co-workers invited me to brunch this morning, then a facial this afternoon and dinner with Hubby tonight. I'm glad that yesterday's to-do list is done!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Jenn- LOL, I wouldn't have known what a Wawa was until after the RT trip!!!

BBL!

Hugs,
"Awnold"
 
Good morning,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to do GS Back, some kind of 30 minute cardio, and CoreMax#1. I'll do some yoga later today: possibly one of Shiva's standing poses flows. Not sure yet.

TraciX - Have a great time training your friend today!!!

BBL,
SandraX
 
Happy Hump Day Xers!!

Yesterday I did Core Max 3 and GS Chest & Triceps. I did a few less pushups this week than last on my toes, but I heavied up on some of the weight work, and with the added "bonuses" }( I was definitely cooked at the end!! Today I'll be doing Cardio Fusion. Fun, fun, fun! I'm also excited b/c they're picking up the 2 "dead" cars that we donated today!! YAY! It'll be nice to be able to get both the working vehicles in the driveway again :D :D :D Does anyone do Tracey Staehle? She just started a presale and I wondered if any of you guys were ordering.

Amy -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you have a GREAT day!! I'm impressed by how much you got done yesterday, too :D Wanna come do my yardwork?? ;-) I'm so allergic to grass, if I graze a single blade, I'm covered in hives. Needless to say, I HATE yardwork and my weeding is WAY overdue...

Wendy -- Good grief!! Didja wake up with some new gray hairs after last night? I hope your DD learned her lesson after the nice policeman lectured...

Jenn -- LOL about Wawa. People who aren't from the area don't understand ;-) We're down the street from a Wawa, too. Stay strong and have some nice home-cooked scrambled eggs and oatmeal instead of a doughnut!! I'll be switching to S&H next week, so I'll be sure to make sure you're keeping up ;-) Get your game face on!! }(

Traci-X -- Good luck with your friend! I hope she loves the sessions and spreads the word so you get some paying clients!! I hope your bum feels better tomorrow. I hate working an area when I'm still sore :(

Tracy -- I like sticking with a workout or series for 2 or 3 times, too. I feel like if I switch up too much, I don't reap all the benefits unless I'm super familiar with the workout. I like to do it a couple of times and heavy up each time.

I hope you all have a great day!

Carol
 
Blowing in for a post - Wow ! All x'ers are up and at em this AM! Good morning!

WO - P90X Chest and Back Could this be the start to a Round 2? Hmmmm. Let me think on that and I'll get back.

I'm off work but onto the chores/shopping. 1 load laundry done, dishwasher unloaded, bathroom #1 cleaned, shopping list completed.

Yesterday I baked 3 layers for DD cakes. Stuffed them in the freezer to frost for later.

Happy:7 Day to you Amy! Enjoy your fun filled day!

The toes are crossed for you Traci on the client. You will do great!

Carol, I will be checking out Tracy's presale, thanks for the heads up. Shame on me , I haven't order Cathe's presale yet. Have fun with CF. I pondered that one this AM, but backed off after the cooked CBX.;-)

Blowing back out! Hugs to all.:* Mwah!
 
Carol ~ Have fun w/ Cardio Fusion. I LOVE this DVD :) I'm actually looking forward to doing a step workout tonight, crazy, huh? I haven't worked out in almost 2-weeks...I MISS CATHE !!!
LOL...I know it's funny when someone tells me they never heard of Wawa. I live right next door to one, so it's hard not to stop in Daily...maybe I will change my route to work ...
That's great, Keep me in line next week w/ S&H...are you going to follow the Faux Rotation?

Wendy ~ How was your night? You crack me up!! Poor Phil, did he ever get back to sleep? Where do you find this stuff on Ebay? I go on their all the time and never find any good stuff like this...Too Funny!! How did the girls like the lecture they got from the policeman? Both my kids dialed 911, they both got the lecture... I remember Ernie called 911 on me before b/c I took his BaseBall cards away from him because he was mis-behaving! :)

Feeling much better today, going to get in a good workout in tonight!! Maybe BM2- Cardio portion :)

Morning Xers,

Workout: Jari Love Ripped to the Core (on Cathe Rotation it called for Muscle Endurance, I'm thinking this is a good sub)

Yesterday my oldest DD asked me when I was doing weight work. I told her that I would be doing weights today. So tonight when I get home I have a workout partner. :D Apparently her Xcountry coach wants them to work their upper body to balance out all the running they do. :) So far I'm liking this coach.

Last night was our very last volleyball games. Again we had a double header. The first game we lost 2 of the 3 and the second game we won all three. Enjoyed the Shape Transforming workout yesterday, it had 4 intervals. It was an easy to learn workout, but it did manage to get my heart rate going. There are two more 30 min workouts on this DVD. One sounds like a circuit, and the other a mixture of kickboxing/toning/circuit. At least that is what it looks like.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Amy!!! Sounds like you have a fun day planned. Enjoy it! Loved your post from yesterday. I actually felt great that I had gotten the dishes in the dishwasher, and picked up the family room. Now I just hope the DD's can actually pull the vacuum out to clean the carpet.

Traci, Good luck today with your first client. Even though she is a friend, you probably will still have the gitters. But once you get started you will do just fine. DH wants a more expensive boat! Will this new boat help him catch more fish? :D Highly doubltful I'm guessing. :D So glad your lower body is feeling better today. Maybe it is a light lower body for tomorrow.

Wendy, ROFL about the 911 call. Not funny for you DH of course, since he had to get up from his sleep. I would have made my DD feel guilty just for doing that. My DD's have never tried that one on me. Sounds like the printer is a much needed tool for you to do your homeschooling. Guess you need to go shopping. :D

Tracy, Yep I feel guilty for buying these things and not using them. My DH is so great about me buying them, because he knows I use them. So I need to at least take them out of their wrapping. :) What are you planning for the extra butt work?

TG, You impress me that you finished that workout. I will try that one and let you know. I think that Sandra has done that workout and held a weighted ball. Let me know if I'm mistaken on that one.

Jenn, Guess I'm one of those that doesn't know what a Wawa is. :D BM2 is a great workout.

Sandra, You reminded me that I haven't been doing any yoga lately. After my workout today I think I will take the time to get a short session in. Guess that would be something that DD would benefit from also.

Debra, Hope you had a good day yesterday!

Carol, Nope I'm not ordering any of Tracey's workouts. I will buy another of her KB workouts though. I don't think that she is offering that this round, or am I wrong.

Switfy, Round 2 of P90X! You go girl, couldn't stay away from that Tony for long could you. :D

Have to get to work,

Laurie
 
Off to a business breakfast, but had to stop in to wish the Amers a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Amy, I sent you a small item that won't get there today, but will make you laugh out loud when you see it :)
I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Today TOM arrived (YECH!) I managed 30 min of LIC cardo followed by 30 min of Power Hour, skipping forward to include abs and plank. That's all I'm good for today. It'll do.

Eating program still coming along well. I'm actually getting used to it and liking it. I can do this.

Have a great Wednesday, everyone!!

Cheryl
 
Morning :)

Amy: Happy Birthday:) wishing you joy peace and blessing. How old are you ms lady?

Tracie: No doubting, you are SO well prepared for this journey, its' in you, you live it, eat it, breath it and you are committed to it. Other words my friend, you aint new to this YOU are true to this ;) Relax and have fun, your going to do just fine, watch! Now all said and done. No crown, none...it may seem like alot but really its wasn't.

Tracey: hey you! good job with yesterday’s workouts, I have found sometimes when you just don’t feel up to doing a workout they end up being your best masterpiece ;)The Gauntlet, I can’t wait to get my hands on these workouts, soon...........:p

Yesterday workout, hm.....first of all I am not an evening cardio person, to say, my bests work are the mornings, that when I have the most energy. But, when I got home wasn’t feeling like doing much of anything, but, I had to PUSH it out. I modified a few workouts I used less weigh instead of 45lbs I used 40lbs and for static lunges NO weigh. But, I tell you after cycle 6 forget what Pinky said to do LOL :+ :+ I barely made it, I was sweating buckets. turned into a masterpiece:p

This morning, only did 50 minutes on treadie and abs/planks from ab hit. I have a dentist appt at 3pm he's pulling another tooth;( ;( Tonight Biceps and Back I shall not let anything stand between me and this workout. Not even mr tooth :7
 
Good morning,
Never was able to get on last night as I was busy, busy with some errands after work, then started house cleaning in anticipation of my sister's visit (she, her DH and DD will be here today). I still have some shopping after work and more cleaning to do before she gets here. Heck I should be mopping right now, but you know what a procrastinator I am.

Today's workout was Gin Miller's Intense Moves for 30 minutes, then did B&G floor work with weights for 15 minutes and switched for 15 minutes of B&G stability ball work. Probably no cycling this week as it will just be too busy. My niece may sleep on one of our couches, but I did warn that I work out in the morning and could disturb her. What a hostess I am, huh?

Traci, I'm soooo excited about your first training session. Can't wait to hear how it goes. I know you will be awesome, just wish it was me!!! I know that when my DH wanted to buy the Rhino I was really against it. However, now I'm soooo glad we got it, he teases me about that all the time. Hopefully, the boat will be the same for you too.

Amy, happy, happy, happy birthday to you!!! Hope it is a great day for you and you get to enjoy some quality time with your DH. Your schedule sounds wonderful, especially the facial!

Tracy, you are so tough to push yourself even when tired. I'm always glad I did.

Jenn, never heard of WaWa out here in California. What kind of store/restaurant is it? I have a real weakness for cookies and ate a TON of good ones on my recent trip to Hood River. My eating was soooo bad on that trip, but had such a good time and we were really active, walking up really steep street, cycling, so hopefully all the pounds won't stay on my hips. it's a struggle, isn't it?

Sandra, sounds like a good workout today. Mine was kind of a mishmash too. I like the idea of shorter, harder cardio and Gin Miller's Intense Moves flies by for me. I even used 2 risers for a change, was sweating drops all over the step.

Carol, I know the feeling of getting rid of junk cars. My DH loves to collect "valuable" car parts like unsightly axles, running gear, motors, etc. It's a sickness, I tell you! They think they'll someday need those eyesores. I have a couple of Tracey Staehle's DVD's and really like her. I guess I need to check out the presale.

Swifty, good for you for getting all that done this morning. I still have a bathroom to clean tonite after work. Mine needs it soooo badly. I did get the guest one cleaned last night. Good job on C&B this morning.

Got to run now,

Jeanette
 
Cheryl, good job on the clean eating. It makes a big difference. I'm already losing the puffiness from all the cookies last week. Sorry about TTOM. My turn is next week, sigh.

Teddygirl, good workouts for you too. Good luck at the dentist, hope it's a relatively painless extraction. Do you listen to anything while on the treadmill? I love my Cardio Coach workouts, I've even been walking to them, ignoring the blasts, just enjoying the motivational speaking and music.

Laurie, I'm envious that your DD wants to work out with you. Wish my DD would. She's pretty busy with her 2 little ones, but I drop hints to her about the DVD's. She tried Curves and liked it but couldn't get someone to always watch the kids. That's the beauty of home DVD's. Oh well. Sounds like you enjoyed the volleyball season and were pretty successful with it. I just signed up for golf lessons thru the local community college. It'll be cheap that way and will give me a chance to see if I want to pursue further.

Got to run and get in the shower. Probably won't be able to sign back on tonite,

Hi to everyone, Wendy, I sent you some pictures too.

Jeanette
 
Jeanette: hello, I have cardio coach '4' of them, great workouts I love Sean voice. I only did one w/o and loved it. There's a little clicking in my treadmill and it bugs me out, running has to be smooth or nothing all, in me peanut brain:+ :+ But, to answer your question, I have a coreless headset that fit around my ears, the sound is awesome I usually listen to hip hop or The Wave or 93.1 What ever gets me through,

Lauie: Pinky's version of LM is No different for any circuit training minus UB, let me know whatcha think, its the da-bomb :9 :9 :7
 
Good morning ladies...I ended up just taking it easy and watching a movie last night...which was about all my little brain can handle these days. I did do SH shoulders and legs instead of whatever else it was I was going to do. I figured I would get a little cardio with the leg work...My heart rate always raises during leg work. No DOMS in my legs this morning but have a few in my shoulders...not too bad though.

I finally got my bike ride in this morning! Yea! I haven't gotten the darn odometer working right yet, though. And it took me forever to get the mirror on my glasses aimed right...but had a nice 45 minute ride. My legs are feeling pretty fatigued now.

I have a massage scheduled for this afternoon...looking forward to having my kinks worked out. DD is doing well at school. She made a couple of friends already, and things will only get better from here! She was very happy when she got in the car yesterday afternoon. She still had a few butterflies this morning, but she did well. Gotta tell you though...this getting up at 7 am is cramping my sleeping style a bit!!

Traci...Good luck with your first client today!! I am sure you will do fabulous! Hope you are able to sit on the toilet without too much pain...LOL! DH's and their toys....I think you had great restraint by not smothering him with a pillow last night!

Amy...Happy Birthday!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day today! sounds like you have some fun things planned.

Wendy...Thanks so much for your link....What a funny story about the grocery store! Those darn kids....Isn't it amazing how they can lie to your face? When they know you are going to find out the truth! Just glad there was no stranger in the house!!

Tracy...Glad you are enjoying the CTX upper. You're right about doing a workout frequently like that...You get to know it better and can anticipate which weights to use.

Jenn...Hope you have a good day at work. It's hard to eat right, isn't it? I struggle with that everyday! Most of my struggle is due to laziness and just not wanting to cook.

Sandra...Waving as you fly by!

Carol....I have a few Tracey's but don't plan on doing any preorders. I did CM 3 the other day and I really squeezed the whole time, but still no DOMS the next day...don't know if that is good or bad...lol! Congrats on upping your weights for chest. Cathe can always lift so much more than me in chest.

Swifty...Since you seem to be so good at laundry...please come and catch mine up! Another X rotation?? WTH?

Cheryl...Congrats on being able to keep to your new eating plan. hopefully you'll feel better in a day or so from ttom...always a pain!

Jeanette...Hope you have a fun time with your family this week! I have really struggled with my form in riding...I keep shrugging my shoulders or hunching my back...I am sure that can't be good! Are there any books or websites I can look into to help me a bit?

Teddygirl...You crazy woman! Take tonight off to recover from your tooth extraction! B&B will be there tomorrow! You already worked out for an hour today. Hope all goes as easy as possible at the dentist.

Laurie...So nice that DD is going to work out with you! It sounds like she has a really good coach. Are you happy or sad that volleyball is over?? Do you have any other extra activities planned for the fall?

Okay, ladies...gotta go move some furniture around. I ordered a chair a couple of months ago for the family room, and it is coming today. I have a meeting tonight, so I may not get back today. Have a wonderful afternoon everyone!

Good Morning Ladies!!!

[font color=orange font size=+2]Happy Birthday Amy!!!![/font]:) :) :) :) :)

Gotta make a DDcoffee run, get the homeschool affidavit and list of objectives notarized, drop it off at the superintendent's office, and come back for personals.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Hello again! It's too nice a day (fiiiinally) to spend the morning inside, so I'm not going to stay long right now. I'll lightly touch on a few subjects, then will take the kids out to do something.

My workout this morning was great. GS Back, Imax3 1-5, CoreMax#1. I'm tired now. Later on I'm going to do some yoga, but might keep it gentle. I definitely want to do the chanting meditation on the Fluid Power dvd, and possibly her longer standing pose flow.

WendyX - Thanks for the tip about the printer and Vista. I'm sure my printer won't work, either. It's older than my current computer. What a day you had the other day! My friend's young daughter once called 911 because she was sick with a cold. Fortunately they phoned back and asked her mother if there was a true emergency! The policy here is if the 911 vehicles show up for a false alarm, the person who made the call is stuck with the bill. That ebay bid was hilaaaarious. The bit about how she held out her hand for the half-chewed food "because that's what Mom's do" had me in stitches. It's funny, 'cause it's true. I was really wondering whether you'd written all that yourself, but she made no mention of twins or Asian mothers, so I know it wasn't you.

TraciX - If your booty is still that sore, isn't it a good idea to give it another day or two of rest? How'd the training session go today? I love it that we get your $58/hour advice for free!

TracyX - How do you like that butt workout? Does it take the amount of time she says it does? And are you actually doing PLB stability ball floorwork 2x a week??

Jenn - Good morning to you.

Amy - What a nice day you have planned! Enjoy every minute. Thank you for the coffee. Ahhhhhhh, it was just what I needed.

Carol - Looks like we're both on the same page WRT workouts these days. I'm finishing up my 3rd week with the GS's. Next week I'm going to focus on muscle and cardio endurance, then start a 3 week cycle with SH. Or until the new series arrives on my doorstep, then I'll switch to those. Have fun with Cardio Fusion today. It's tough.

SwiftAmyX - Round two already? :eek: :eek: You and LaurieXX will be starting your own club soon.

Cheryl - Good workout today, especially when you're not feeling the best. I was interested enough in that O article that I just went and bought the magazine last night. I was disappointed at the lack of concrete workout suggestions. But I get the drift. I just wish Cathe's new series would get shipped already, because I'm sooo ready for it!!

JeanetteX - No cycling this week?? :eek: :eek: I hope you don't go into withdrawl :) I'm with you on the wake-up-the-neice thing. Maybe she'll even join you! About the Cardio Coaches. I asked on the OD if anyone's got any good mish moshes to share. One thing that crossed my mind was to string together a bunch of the steady state segments for a long SS run/walk.

Anointed - Another tooth coming out? :eek: :eek: When you do Low-Max the Pinky way, do you include the LM blasts, or just the step combos?

LaurieXX - I LOVE that coach! And I cannot wait for the day my kids genuinely can accompany with my workouts. Happy yogifying. What yoga will you do?

DebraX - What movie did you watch? I'm glad DD is adjusting well to school.

Okay, this was longer than intended, and the kids are starting to act like caged animals. Have a great day,
SandraX
 
Sandra - Yes, suprisingly enough, I'm going to force myself to do the rotation as written; floorwork and all. Well, except for some extra cardio and yoga. The legs feel tighter already, but maybe that is from no running too.

Off to work some more.

Tracy
 
Debra: I cursed me self:) by saying I’ll let nothing stand in me way of BB today, duh. My sister Daphane just phoned reminding me of Seminar we’re going to tonight, in Beachwood. I couldn’t say NO, hoping she’d have mercy on me since I’m going to the dentist. I thought when she asked me, it was going to be on a Thursday. It's a Realtor class you know ‘GET RICH” buy homes no money down blah blah, things I need to know.

Sandra: Now really, is there any other way? Of course you do the blasts, all of em. The Key is to modify, l did, with the lunges since there’s so many in cycles. Yep, another tooth :( :(
 
Good Afternoon Ladies!!!!:) :) :)

The rains have stopped. It's still too damp and cold for me to go biking. I woke up early and got GS back/shoulders/bis done. :) I can feel the DOMS already!!! I might do IMAX2 tonight. Have to see how my foot feels. I wished I would have gotten a pic of Amy inspecting my foot in the hotel lobby with the hotel clerk looking on strangely in the background!:7

I just realized how my paragraph formation has gone downhill since posting on forums. LOL

Traci-X: OMW! We must be cloned wives!!! I HATE it that Phil can fall asleep when I'm upset. If I'm in a bad mood, he should be too!!!! He shouldn't be dreaming of the boat of his dreams! He should be trying his hardest to suck up to me first!!!! He probably wasn't allowed to massage your sore bum.:p }( Onto better thoughts... I'm so excited for you!!! Was it like you envisioned? Does she appear wide eyed, soaking up your infinite knowledge, taking notes?:) Are you wearing a whistle around your neck and holding a clipboard in your hand? Oh! You should have had Dreamboat Wendell take pictures of you in action for your website!!!! Hey! If you need any internet guinea pig clients, pick me!!!! Although, you might have to put a disclaimer on your website that you are not responsible for rebellious, carb loving, lazy clients.}( ;) How did you know about my mother's curse? I was a terrible child!!!! My poor mother still has hair, albeit gray hair!!! However, she still has beautiful, flawless skin with high cheekbones. So, I mustn't have been too bad. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!;-)

Traci-X: I agree with using the same format for a few times. Well, with me, I have to use it more than a few to work to failure. Kenpo and L&B didn't hit me hard till Phase 3. I'm a slow learner!;-) I've been thinking of drinking powder shakes. I have no idea which one to buy or what to look for when choosing. Which one did you buy? LOL interesting vegetable soup... Did they assume it was healthy?;-) I love salad on occasion. Sometimes, I need some bread to get that full, satisfied, stick-to-the-gut feeling or else I'm eating more and more and more and....

Amy: Happy Birthday and thanks for the coffee! Plan on a Wendy visit next year! I'll be down your way visiting ds and the Crazy Asian.:7 I'm in awe of your lifting increases! Do you think lifting at the gym breaks through the plateaus you wouldn't be able to do with home workouts? I often wonder if one day I'll outgrow home work-outs and have to join a gym for the weight machines. It's a LONG way aways. I doubt I'll get there in this lifetime!

Carol: Nice workout! What time were you able to push play? Cardio Fusion is FUN! I have trouble with the one BM2 combo because I don't own it. I should bug Jenn to loan it to me for a few days so I can learn the combo. I believe dd has learned her lesson. She's been an angel all day. She even asked me if there was anything more she could do to help. I asked her if she was feeling guilty. Yep! to the core!!! Appropriate guilt is a good thing!:7 It gives me the opportunity to practice forgiveness.:) PHP emailed me yesterday and called me today. As soon as they receive an order, it goes straight to their distributor in another state. It's more cost effective for me to keep the two activity books than to return one and purchase 2 student page booklets. I think dd will be busy enough with the added MOH2 lessons.

Amy-X, Swifty: What would you prefer I call you? Amy-X, Swift Amy, Swifty, Bicep Amy, or Baker Amy??? ;-) Should we hold off for now since we might be calling you Amy-XX soon? You are such a good mom for thinking ahead. What flavor are the cakes?

Jenn: Yes, poor Phil! You should have heard him after he finished searching the house for a possible lunatic. He thinks I'm the only crazy person in the house!}( He went on an interrogation spree like I've never seen before. After he narrowed it down to eldest dd, she tried making the excuse that she didn't mean to do it; it was an accident. He was fuming and booms, "A mistake! You want me to believe that you pressed 9-1-1, three buttons and hit the send button, that makes FOUR buttons! You hit FOUR buttons and didn't know what you were doing!!!! You expect me to believe it was a MISTAKE!" It's funny now, but at the time it wasn't. We couldn't understand why she did it. Why would she even press those numbers! She wasn't in trouble or mad at us when she did it. The house was calm and peaceful. There was no fighting or negative energy. She was just playing with the phone and accidentally hit the send instead of off button. Then when they called back the first time, she hung up on them because she knew she was caught. LOL The second time they called, she acted clueless. I feel for her future dh! LOL I stumbled on the ebay link from a homeschool board yesterday. Anyhow, Phil took a moment to relieve his stress on the X-box before leaving for nightwork. He worked till 5 this morning. Slept in his van for 2 hours and went to work at 7 AM. He called me at lunch to let me know he's taking a nap. I could never work like him! But, he tells me that he's conditioned.

Cheryl: It's great to hear that you're making this new eating program a habit.:)

Jeanette-X!!! Your pics are lovely!!! What kind of Trek roadbike to you own? How much do I need to start saving? LOL I didn't notice any three pound gain!!!! It must be muscle mass with all the fun activities you were doing! Have fun with your sister! I clean for my sister's visits. She doesn't for mine. LOL Oh! Shush! I think you're a good role model for your niece. You never know. She might wake up and join you! :) Oh, Curves. I joined a few years ago. Went ONE time during my entire year subscription. Their hours are the pits!

Laurie-XX! How fun to workout with your dd! I like this coach too! I've noticed my endurance and cardio increase tremendously from lifting. I'm sorry if you already answered me. How long does volleyball season last? Do y'all play till it snows? I got a Lexmark All-in-One printer last night for $32.00. It didn't include black ink. So, it came to around $50.00 when all was said and done. Usually, I make copies at Staples instead of buying printer ink. It's probably cheaper printing at home. sigh

Debra-X! LOL on having to be an early riser. At least it puts you on schedule to do fun things like bike riding! It's nice to see you keeping yourself busy while dd is at school. Enjoy the massage!!!

Sandra-X: Nice workout. Ewww. Thanks for reminding to add on a core workout today. TTOM is already showing signs of arrival. I need to back off of the salty foods! I was concerned that they were going to charge me a fine for coming out to the house. I think they only do that when an ambulance or fire truck needs to be dispatched. The policeman was so kind and understanding. He told her that he's glad she knows that 911 works and to only use it when there's a real emergency. He made her tell him a list of true emergencies. lol Nope that wasn't me! I wish! Did you see how much those cards were selling for. I hope she doesn't get any false bids and end up not selling them. Enjoy the sunshine!!!

Annointed TG: I thought of you at the grocery store last night. I'm making my guacamole dip today. Did you ever end up making it? I've been craving it with pita chips.:9

Nicole-X: Where are you? Hope all is well in your world. When do the boys go back to school? Are you getting a bike and going riding with dh? If so, are you making him tow the little ones? }(

Okay! Time's been up 15 minutes ago!

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!!!
Wendy
