Xers Chai Time Thursday

Sandra: I always enjoy reading your post. I went to GNC on my lunch, I found another bottle of whey Liquid Protein, for $19.99 good thing I did cuz me:+ was down to my lasts few Tbsp :9 I tell you after my morning workout I don't find the time to crunch ice and add ingredients too blender, to time consuming. I like the fact I can screw off a top and I'm done, how lucky am I:*

This will be my last post for today I'm tipping out of the building early. You guys have a safe evening ;)
 
Good afternoon and howdy to all of you!! I see everyone is busy chatting away today. No workout as I am sore from the chiro, but in a good way. I will definately start yoga tomorrow. Hello Eion. Purr
}( .

Wendy - ROFLMAO with everyone else around here. I am with the curious minds, do we really want to know what is on the toilet? They do have it right though, we are suppose to be squatting while going to the bathroom. It is more natural. But thanks for posting the bathroom situation in Thailand. Now I know where not to go!! Good job on working out. You are really just a bundle of energy.

Tracy - You go and get that certification. You deserve it. You have worked hard enough raising those boys and now it is time for you!

Debra - I hope that you had a nice breakfast with CBL. DD I am sure enjoyed the circus. How exciting for her. What was her favorite part? I am glad that you will be able to spend some time with Eion, but please don't hog him all up since I will be in need of him tomorrow.

Sandra - Look how thoughtful you are. Doing research and getting the perfect gift for your neighbor. I bet she was very touched. Not a lot of people go out of their way like that anymore.

Traci - I have been wondering where George has been. You little devil you}( . Where do you find all of the funny comments like in STS? I don't even read any of those anymore. Poor Cathe and crew have to get asked a billion questions.

Jeanette - High five on the weight increase. I bet that your legs are looking hot!! I bet that made your morning reading Wendy's blog and you are right, she is a good writer. I think that her and Sandra should get together and write something together. Oh what a delightful book that would make.

Laurie - Aren't you tired of that snow yet?? The Firm workouts look great. Thank you for the link. Stay safe. I am glad that headache went away.

Sandra - Wow a nanny. Look whose life just got better. You go girl. Now there is no excuses for not selling those cakes. And yes, I highly reccomend acupuncture to anyone who is having troubles. It got rid of my asthma, have not had an attack for years now. I am just amazed with Chinese Medicine. It does work wonders.

Carol - Hi there!!!!

Nicole - I hope that things are better today.

All right, time to go pay attention to the kid. Have a great night everyone.

Lea
 
Hi all,

Wendy- Those bathrooms looked disgusting. I guess once you get past the initial shock you probably just can deal with it. Personally I prefer camping and out in the woods. At least it's clean.

Sandra - How was the step today? You're right, if you have enough workouts, you can keep them fresh by not doing them very often. I am struggling with endurance based workouts too, but they do have thier place. I still like working out heavy. You are too far in the dr process now, but isn't it abvious why so many people start and don't finish. I think in the US it is around 60% that finish the classes and not the dissertation. Now that you reminded me, I do remember the whining from phase 2. Aren't you glad you persevered? I'm not feeling that this time. I'm like, I'm going to workout anyway and this is just a no brainer.

Traci - Nice workout today! Glad you were able to sleep in. I never dreamed you would give up Wendell, but I guess at some point we are all tempted.

Tg - Glad to see you're back and working out.

Jeanette - I'm glad you could feel those muscle fibers. I think you could sub 4ds legs for the last week of gym styles, if you don't go too heavy. It's not the same, but it would work. Personally, I'd just stick out the 4 weeks because it is genius the way the workouts work together. I have one Gay Gasper workout and I like it, I just don't reach for it often. I think I remember it having quite a bit of repetition. I like Pam Cosmi. At first her personality is a little different, but the workout is just complicated low impact fun! I think you can get that one from deep discount for near nothing.

Laurie - Those firm workouts look great, but I have to keep repeating my mantra, No more dvds....No more dvds.....

Lea - Glad the chiro helped you. A friend at work swears by accupucture. I must admit, I look at that pciture of the smoothies and think yucky spinach.

Nicole - I hope you are surviving the storm.

Class started and I'd better go. I'm working towards becoming a Board Certified Applied Behavior Analyst. It's used a lot with individuals with autism and developmental disabilities. They make pretty good money and there are only 75 in VA.

Tracy
 
Okay...so I don't have time for an actual post since breakfast with CBL turned into an all day thing...just got home from taking the diva to gymnastics...and yes, she ahd a fabulous time at the circus....

Just 2 quick things.....


No, don't call me Debbie....Deb is fine! But Debbie sounds like 'Debbie does Dallas' to me. And according to my XDH I am already a slut.


Secondly....I read Traci's post and I thought she said she was going to go and lick her muscle. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!


Where is my head today????

I am off to doing a quickie with Eoin...
Kisses to all if I don't get back today!

Debra

Back again can you believe it! :D

I was a little late today getting to work(because of the snow), so I just thought I would pop in and see what was going on.

TG & Traci, Here is a link for the workouts, and this gives a decent description. Looks like they label them as intermediate.

Sandra, We are over our annual total of snowfall, but I don't think we are going to hit the biggest snowfall for the year which is 109". We are somewhere around 64" or so. Maybe I should move to Edmonton. :D Do you have a PBS type station for DH to work at. :D

Traci, I know, I know!!! :7 :7 Ring my neck - I deserve it. I have been looking for something to change up with Core Syn, and I think I got a little excited about these Firm workouts. I may wait for some reviews of the things though.

Carol, Glad you are having fun with Eion. :D

Lea, Oh yes I am really tired of the snow, wet floors, having to bundle up just to take a walk, and scraping the car (that is the worst part) :D But all this will soon be gone, and then we have MUD!!! :7 :7 :7

Tracy, Hope your class is a good one, sounds like it will be interesting.

Ok I am heading out to get the dog from doggie daycare! She should be quiet tonight. :D

Have a great evening,

Laurie
 
Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still around. I've been sick, sick, sick. This evening was the first time I've been out of bed in a couple of days. Hope to catch up with you all soon. Kim
 
Hi ladies,
You guys have been chatty today. I love coming home and checking my girls... Came home, ate dinner and DH and I went to the store to get grocery items for the dinner we are making for Mom and Dad tomorrow night. Guess it will be a weekly thing, cooking dinner for them. I'll take Friday nights and my sister will take Wednesdays. Will be kind of fun for DH as he loves to cook for other people and will help me out as lets face it, I really don't cook unless we are camping. Next week, I think I will make enchiladas ahead of time as I'll be in Reno on Friday and won't want to come back just to cook dinner.

On to personals:

Laurie, so glad you didn't have to go to the service last night. So nice you got rid of that headache. I definitely think shoveling snow counts as cardio. Nice of that fellow to call you to see if he could help with work stuff. Wow, a stroke. That's awful. That Firm link looks interesting. Actually, I've never seen a Firm DVD before. I've got to let my credit card settle a bit. Still pondering STS and will probably cave pretty soon. I did get a 15 minute walk in during my break. Even had to walk thru a little mud. I can smell spring!

Sandra, so glad you enjoyed your SCII. If I have time tonite, will do some previewing of SC. I need to check and see what's on tap for my rotation for tomorrow. I love step, but of course can't do it all the time. That's right, her name is Laura (in CST). Anyway, she's in the Hillacious Hill Climb DVD. She just does it all, doesn't she? Now if I see Dreya in one of those at a Garage Boys, I swear I'll pull out my mp3 player and do a Cardio Coach while they are doing a Spinerval. I may anyway one of these nights. I love Sean's voice and the music much better than the Spinerval music, but Troy is more catered to cyclists. With my newfound enthusiasm for cycling, I think I may just peak in time for the 1/2 ironman in May. After that, maybe I'll just golf and ride a little. Oh to have more time for fun. I definitely will try the 4DS Legs soon. See how eager I am to work legs? However, if after a month I see no difference, I may be singing a different tune. For now, I'll remain positive.

Traci, I do like S&H Legs. Seems to go by quickly. I thought it would be much harder. Of course with a 20# BB it's not that tough (just kidding). Know I need to go heavier still, but will be mindful of form. I want legs like you guys have, waaaaaahhhhh. I told DH today that I'm tired of fat legs, that you couldn't even tell I'm a cyclist if you were to look at my legs. He kind of nodded and didn't say too much more. He's not stupid.... been bit before LOL! You have me laughing about us sharing George. Wendy says he's not that hot anymore, but I beg to disagree. Love the eyes, did I say that before. I think we need to drink some wine, watch BAT, get sappy, contemplate George. You know, like we're going to do in a couple months! Yeehaw!!

Carol, nice to see you on here. Which yoga DVD did you do today? We miss you around here.

Lea, glad the chiro is helping you out. Wish my legs were hot, but....no. I don't think they were ever thin or shapely even as a young girl. Sigh. But, I'm out to change that with the help of you educated ladies. Maybe if I put some fake tan on them they will look better. Your Meez is making me laugh. A few more yoga sessions, some acupuncture, chiro and you'll be doing the limbo!

Tracy, I'll have to check out Pam Cosmi. I love somewhat intricate step routines. Today was your rest day, wasn't iHopt? Has your son been back out on his road bike? I'm looking forward to riding on Saturday. Think I'll take my mp3 player so if I get dropped from the Garage Boys (which I no doubt will after a while), I can still get a workout or at least have some good tunes. We don't have much traffic here at all and I ride with a mirror on my glasses so I don't feel too unsafe with the tunes going. I'm very vigilant at what's coming up behind me.

Debra, hope the breakfast and time with CBL was good. Hope your time with Eoin was satisfying.

Kim, you poor thing. Hope you can kick that crud to the curb. Please take care of yourself and don't push the workouts too soon. Today I felt like I was coming down with something, but dang, I have too much coming up that I can't be sick for. Feel fine now. One person even said I looked tired.

Nicole, hope you are okay today. I'm worried about you. (((hugs)))).

Jeanette
 
Oh boy girls, it's been quite an emotional week! I am so worn out that come 8:00 I'm ready for bed. To top it off I woke up today with such a bad UTI that I could hardly walk. I have been getting them more frequently lately and I don't like it. I did not do yoga today so I may do doubles tomorrow or may not depending on how I feel.


Thank you all for the love and support. I have all of your sweet words playing in my head when I'm feeling down and out. I say, "Traci and Tracy wouldn't put up with this! and Wendy will give him a talking too!" Believe it or not, it helps:)


DH and I are at least on speaking terms but I need to have serious talks with him about how he handles certain situations. He always resorts to belittling me when he gets angry and after 10 years of it, it's starting to eat away at who I am. I know he loves me I just think he needs help communicating. I know most men are not on the same wavelength as women but there needs to be a middle ground. It's like a dog that's been hit too many times, it becomes skittish.(DH does not get physical so don't worry about that)! Ok, enough about me.


Wendy, You are a better woman than I! I would run screaming back to the airport:p I can now see why you would not live there for two years:p Is Phil just too glad to have you back home? Thanks for the support. I know you would give my DH your two cents if you were here:) Even though your on the other side of the country, I know you have my back! Way to go on pushing play!!! See, it didn't kill you;)


Tracy, I'll have to try that 4DS premix in a few weeks when I'm done with the X. More classes you say? Does that mean you'll be gone again? 1500 hours is a lot! Will you get more money when it's over? Ok, I just read the answer to that question. sounds like it's worth it to me. It would be nice to be really needed:) Not that you aren't now, but maybe you could work with people that appreciate you like you deserve:)


Debra, Are things better today with CBL? How was breakfast? Is he on the same page as you as far as the moving fast thing goes? Glad to hear DD had a fun time at the circus and even happier that you were able to stay away from the germ infested urchins:) No yoga? Shocking! I didn't get mine in either so we're even:) How is class going? Maybe it's the stress of having too much stuff going on that's making you uneasy about your relationship with CB. As if XDH has any room to talk!!! What a turd.


Sandra, Goodness, you, Debra and I all gave yoga a shove today! It must have been something in the water:p What a nice neighbor you are! So thoughtful:) Did you get much of your thesis done today? How is it having a nanny? Do the girls like her? I'm glad you had a fun workout today. I wish I could say the same. I guess there's always tomorrow!


Traci, You are too funny! Did you watch George in a movie recently and had romantic dreams about him;) Does Wendell know about this:D:D How many clients do you have now? Are they enjoying their workouts and seeing results? That must be gratifying for you. Glad you are sleeping well again and clients are keeping you busy but you musn't scare us all like that! Oh good, I'm not the only one who talks to them self while working out:) I pretend someone is working out with me and challenging me to keep going. It works every time.


Latrese, Your still on track! Good for you:D


Jeanette, How nice of you to have dinner with your mom and dad every week. I do the same with mine on Sundays but lately it's been every other. Is it warm up there too? We are enjoying 70 degrees every day this week. I have been wearing flip flops and short sleeves. Ok, now I'm bragging:p What are you going to Reno for? Anything special or just a regular trip? LOL, DH's do know when to stay quiet don't they? I can guarantee your legs are better than mine right now! Thanks for the {{{hugs}}}. I am in need of them this week for sure!


Laurie, My cousin has been talking about all the snow and I'm really having a hard time picturing it. It is so sunny and warm here the thought of snow is far from my mind. Yes, you can kick me now:p She will be here next month and she said it will be payback:) I'll have to check out the link for The Firm DVD. I actually have the Transfirmer and it's collecting dust under the bed. Once I found Cathe all else paled in comparison. Sounds like that supplier is a nice guy. That would be hard to suffer the loss of mobility like that.


Carol, Glad everyone is healthy! What yoga did you end up doing?


Lea, I hope you are feeling the love from the chiro tomorrow. I really need to go in for an adjustment too. How are the boys? Are they glad to get outside again after all of the rain? It is beautiful here this week so I am making sure that DS's get out as much as possible!


Kim, I sure hope you feel better soon! The doctor told me the flu has been lasting for a couple of weeks instead of days. I sure hope it's less for you and that your upa nd ready to face the day tomorrow.


Christiane, Did you get CS in yesterday? It is a tough one but good:)


Ok, I must turn in for the night! Glad I got in here to say hi before you all forgot about me:p

DS has a bball game tomorrow so I hope to get in and chat in the morning.


Nicole

Bring it!!!
