Xers. ..............Fabulous Friday!

Hi all,


I did get my new dvds yesterday and previewed the lower intensity step one last night. I don't know if it was my new computer monitor or the filming or a combination of both, but on my monitor, the closeups were not all that flattering to the group. Maybe it's always been like that and I'm just working out and not looking. It looked like a good workout. Still seemed to have an endurance base, but we'll see. I'm not so sure that those segments weren't filmed with a greater amount of rest between rounds than on the dvd. Cathe looks really pumped after the pyramid round and then much less so for the next round, maybe I was just tired. If I did all of that shoulder work back to back I'd be really pumped. OK, enough complaining, I'm sure the workouts will be great.


TG- Glad you are enjoying S&H. They are extremely effective workouts. I just can't stick with them long because of the boredom factor. I always get good strength gains. Do you have ME or C&W? They might be nice finishers for the upper body or some kickboxing.

Laurie - Enjoy your company. It probably will be a lot easier since you won't be worried about the workout.

Sandra - Have a nice time with your parents. Stop by when you can.

Swifty - So are you getting bored with the X or is it still fun? I'm going to do another X rotation this winter. I've got to see how much fun the new stuff I got is first and hopefully the new X workouts will be ready.

Nicole - Still another plea to rest. It is not worth it. My quack dr gave me steriods and a muscle relaxer. That worked for me.

Wendy - I had to laugh when I read your comment about the SS office being worse than the DMV. Is that possible? I'm sure it is. I just cringe when I have to do things like that.

Debra - I just saw a new massage person. Oh how sad for you! Does the diva get massages too?

Jeanette - Are you going to start lifting weights again? I noticed you haven't moved much iron around lately.

Hi to anyone I missed.

Tracy
 
[font face="arial"]~~~~~~~~~Happy FRIDAY! –or one day before AF (as the case may be!) ~~~~~~~~~~[/font/ arial]


This n That

I am super duper sore this morning from KickBox Legs & Core ~
I am so IN LOVE with this entire workout and see no problem-o doing this for 6 weeks in my rotation.
The sound quality is superior to anything on the market (not that I EVER had issue with any of Cathes production before)… I bet on a big screen its unbelievable!
If my 1820 DVD player worked in the family room I’d pop these in just for a theatre experience!
Some of the music is similar/same to other KB from Cathe which I loved! This is much more drill focused for the 30 minutes… wiped me out – THEN we had legs & core AFTER fabulous leg drills & standing core…. Every inch of me is sore. ~
I did keep my BB at just 15#s throughout as technically I’m not supposed to use it for another 2 weeks… I did manage to use my 20’s for one round of Plie work but felt that was pushing it so I switched to 15[/i}


Todays Workout

Higher Intensity Step with Chest & Back (using a higher % of weight on my back work vs. chest to stay in balance per PT)and I will also only use 1 riser and focus on the plyo intensity for leg benefit[/i}

Tracy X!!! I didn’t take you as complaining this morning… If you wanted to complain you’d be posting a rant over in OD so we could stir the hornets’ nest that appears to have been quieted for a few weeks! LOL ~ One reason I don’t like to preview is that I don’t get the right feel for a workout… I previewed SJP (that’s the only one) and disliked it all so much I am surprised I actually did it! In preview the angles bugged me & the music made me roll my eyes… Then I actually did it and it was immediately my favorite out of all the Cathe collection- maybe its mood or something… I bet you’ll like the weight work… At least in Legs & Core almost every single exercise is a variation of what we normally do- that alone is like gold to me.

Sandra X!!! Will (& have) missed you but do appreciate the “time permits” posts. You are such a wonderful energy around here and are always missed… Not trying to guilt you- just want you to know how special your quick wit and honesty are to us. XXOO Hope you enjoy your parental visit more than I did! LOLOLOL

Nicole X!!! {{{{{{huggers- ever so gently}}}}} How ya feeling this morning sweets? Did the meds help you rest a bit deeper? I do hope you do well on them as the other alternative is icing ALL DAY LONG and that’s a P.I.T.A.! take it easy!!! Will be looking at your new pics a bit later this morning…Thanks for posting them! ~ All the UPS deliveries seem to be early so I bet MONDAY is your big day! Just don’t DO THEM!!! Rest rest rest

Cheryl!!! Sending LOVE & HUGS your way! Too ironic about you and Wendell knowing the same people! SMALL WORLD! At least you know he’ll be spreading all the “Cheryl’s AMAZING” vibes & word out there! When he adores someone he lets the world know… He absolutely thinks you are fabulous! -


Amy!!! ROF- I totally agree that JB stands a much better chance against Peanut than my 3! ~ Hey- were you OK after the tornado? My nephew & wife live on one of the bases close to hit point so we are trying to get hold of them.

Jeanette X!!! Love when you spend your last few waking moments with us each night! I picture you at puter in jammies with a cup of coffee! LOL ~ That’s great about your no-bloat month! I keep telling myself I’m bloated from all the vacation food & flying – I am REALLY praying that I didn’t gain 10 pounds of fat while gone as my body literally looks like 12 months ago. I shall shun white food forever & ever if that’s the case. This time next week I’ll be able to evaluate the entire damage. LOL – I bet you will fall in love with New Series! I LOVE the different strength moves and how its more X-like in format- I ALWAYS love short cardio! LOLOL ~ Hope you & DH had a snore- less night & BTW ROFL on the asparagus smelling pee!

TeddyGirl!!! Start saving those quarters! The kick alone is worth the price! As much as you and I love kick and as similar as our tastes are in it I know you wont be disappointed! Tell TED if he gets them for ya you’ll “clean more carpets” with him *wink wink*


Wendy X!!! Boy was I happy to see you post AFTER LIS2007 – I was really worried you would have really cooked your own goose! I picture you unable to walk thru the house without an inhaler… My Gosh woman tale it friggin’ easy! Do you REALLY want to travel for 6 weeks sicker than a dying dog? I’m putting my hand on hips, giving you that look, and shaking my head. ~Lol on Wendell Drinking? ~ We so rarely drink anymore it made me laugh. 1 glass of wine and we are both sawing logs! ~ I am out of my funk!!! Thanks for your sweet thoughts… I think I just needed the workout endorphins and needed to lift SOMETHING heavier than 7#s! When I saw my body in the mirror with just the jogbra and lowrise pants I CRINGED! It really was so flabby * bloaty that I almost cried…It made me work my arss off! ~ Mini PMS mid way? OH LORDY!!!!!! I’d be a crazy asian too! ROF ~

Debra X!!! OMG you had me in stitches this morning with all your posts yesterday! Glad to see by end of day you were back to “normal” ROFL! ~ Oh YES take Mr Dinner into another room and have him do the calf pics! Give his son a little “job” and he’ll be fine! Will DD be there? Does she think this is a date? I was a TERROR at 13 to my moms first date(that I knew about)! I REFUSED to let him up the front lawn stairs! I swear that’s a truth!!! I LOVE that memory of me- first experience standing up for MY RIGHTS in my life! LOL ~ So sorry about your massage guru… I swear I lose all my good “maintenance” people like that. Best hairdresser I ever had was around for 1 year – I haven’t been happy with my hair since. ~~~ Thanks for sharing the intimate details of your love life! Sometimes I expect a private email saying BACK OFF! I really am happy for you- I think its weird - when a relationship is over mentally its OVER in Mind, Body & Spirit.... My first divorce (age 21) was pretty "easy" to get over but breaking up with 2 loves of my life later in life were a full year or 2 before I could even date... I am just happy that you are living each moment to the fullest - when mommys happy & cared for so is DD! I totally understand the "feeling beautiful & valued" again... so many marriages let that go and I tell Wendell often how much it means that he constantly makes me feel that way. I always say hes a better husband than I am a wife... I'm learning tho.

Laurie XX!!! Hope you have a great day planned for today and a great weekend filled with autumn festivities… we are STILL in high 80’s with 70% humidity! Cold front coming from Sandra next week tho! We drop to low 80’s but 30% humidity – I’ll be a happy camper pulling out my sweat pants finally! LOL


Carol!!! Hope you have a great day- I caught up with you yesterday

Swifty X!!! Do I hear a sense of boredom with X-2? I made it to 30 day mark before going BUGGY! My personal agreement with self is that if I sub more than 2 workouts a week then I’m not really doing X – That’s just how I gauged it. You do whatever works for you and remember that its OK to be an Xer½! ~ Thanks for posting recipe- looks like you and Laurie gave me new holiday baking ideas!

Lea X!!! Yoooouuuuuuu- Hooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

All caught up and mentally ready for HIS but my body isnt! LOL Will probably make it a mid day workout since Wendell & boys are at bay.
:+ :+ :+
 
Good Morning Xers

Rotation: S&H/week II
am: KPC (drills) Srike Zone (paddle)completed
pm: abs

Hi everyone,

Tracie: That’s my girl you rock:) Oh my needing to save them quarters, true that, trust me I’m going to order soon:) I just don’t want to get side track from this rotation. In two to three weeks I'll place my orderx( if not beforex( but I swear I want to do LEAST 4 weeks of S&H. Thanks for the 411 my friend. How is your RC doing? is the pain all gone?

Tracey: That’s my problem too, I always get bored:( but, I tell ya, am loving this series right now, its' doing great things for my upper body.

I checked my rotation I haven’t had a rest day in a long time. I will take one day next Sunday or before. My workout this morning and last night rocked!!!! Last night I did S&H bi’s tri’s went heavy my guns are starting to form, finally :7 this is why I love this series like it or not guns are a coming:+ feeling real good in upper body.

Okay guys waiting too hear move reviews:9 :9
 
Hi all! We actually got some rain here last night which is kind of exciting..but now the humidity has got to be 100%. Ugh. Anyhoo...Let's see...doing yoga today with bis added in and abs from my skipped section yesterday. Then cardio tomorrow...probably Cathe's new kickbox one since Traci likes it so much! I have to go to the grocery store today and take my kitty to the vet. Let me just say, without getting into the gory details, that she has irritable bowel disease. Doesn't that sound pleasant? And she is having a few issues. I have some folks coming over for dinner tonight...and then DD and I head out of town tomorrow to stay with some friends and go to the State Fair. Just a bigger version of the county fair we went to a couple of weeks ago...but at least this time there will be 3 adults to tag team and ride with the diva.

personals..........

Traci...I was cracking up at your post...First of all my friend who is coming for dinner tonight is a friend not a "friend"...LOL! And his son is a junior in college so I don't think he will want any "little jobs"! I did ask a "friend" the other night to take a pic of my calves..He asked if I was going to post it on the internet and I said yes and he refused to take the shots after that...LOL! Anyway...DD will be around tonight. She has met one of my "friends" but she is pretty clueless about what that means. She just enjoys any attention she receives from all of my friends. You are definitely right about some things taking longer to get over...but in this particular relationship I did all of my "getting over" back in January and February...and March and April...and May and June...So by July I was pretty much done...LOL! Glad you enjoyed the KB segment so much. I may will attempt to do that one tomorrow. Although, I might wait until I can do that one as produced...Which would be Monday when it is a leg day for me....Hmmmm...I will have to think on it while I am vegging out with Eoin today. Also...give yourself a break on the vacation hangover you have...Now that you have your motivation back, any extra weight and bloat will come off quick..Also ttom is tomorrow...You'll feel better once that is done.

Tracy...LOL about my diva getting massages...She isn't interested in that...only getting new Groovy Girls! I didn't take your comments about the dvds as complaining. I do think you will like them once you get into it, though. I bet you are glad it is Friday...and no more classes next week...Yea! I do think that kids need some sort of environment where they are socialized...I think that depends on the homeschooling parents, though....there are plenty of classes and activities for kids where they are around others in their peer group. I wonder about this family, though, since their DD seems to be craving companionship. Their DD calls mine EVERY afternoon to play..as well as over the weekends...also she came over the other night at 7 to ask my DD to play...In our house 7 is bath time and get ready for bed time since my diva needs her sleep! She is in bed most nights by 8...I just don't think their kids have that kind of structure. Anyway...my point was that their kids seem lonely. But who knows?

Wendy...I have already filled out my forms for the SS office....just got to locate my marriage license. I have heard horror stories about the SS offices down here. I am expecting to have to sit around for about half a day to get this stuff taken care of. I wouldn't even care about the darn DL, but I have to have an NC DL to register our cars in this state. What a bother! Glad you enjoyed LIS too...I caught onto the moves pretty quick...the only one I still didn't get was in the third combo...the step sweep and then you walk and pivot and walk and pivot..I think I was just taking too many steps when walking..but I didn't figure that out until it was over...LOL! I will respond to your email in a bit.


Jeanette...Glad golf went well for you...It is nice to have another sport to be interested in. Those darn fairies are never around when they should be! I was curious about the asparagus, too, and a while ago I looked it up to see...And apparently there is some sort of acid found in asparagus that makes your pee smell that way. Who knew?? It just amazes me that as soon as you eat your pee smells bad right away. I have obviously been thinking about this issue way too much....LOL!

Teddygirl...Glad you are enjoying SH...I really love that series, too. I always see a lot of gains while doing it. I wrote about the low intensity step segment last night...so you can go back there to read about it. Have fun at work today. And get that rest day in woman...Your body needs it to make those muscles big!

Okay...think I am caught up for now...I got everyone else last night! Have a lovely day, lovely ladies! BBL

Debra

Plant beneficial seeds, do your best and let go---Eion Finn
 
Morning,
So glad it's Friday. I toyed with going home early today, but got asked yesterday to attend an Inmate Pay Committee meeting at 1:00 this afternoon. Going to plead the case for the prison priest to have an inmate clerk to do his typing, etc. So guess I won't be coming home early. Sigh.

Today's workout was Pyramid Upper Body Up Only Premix. My upper body is toasty. The only move I have to modify is front raises for shoulder. Can't do that with my right golfer's/tennis elbow. Also can't go heavy with the side laterals so I modified. I've always really liked this workout. Had no problem with the weights even after a month of Slim Series light weights.

Tracy, I'll get the DVD's on Tuesday so I'll check out some of your observations. Hope the workouts are good ones for you. I'm not too picky, but think I'll really like the shorter cardio segments. I'm not a big kickbox fan, but maybe these will be different.

Traci, you are sooooo right as I was at the computer last night in my jammies and with a coffee. Had my coffee too late and it took a little while for me to fall asleep. Tonite is Friday night and that won't matter. We will have to get up to go woodcutting in the morning. No sawing logs zzzzzzzzzz for DH this time. We've got to get that wood in. Probably need 2 more loads I'm thinking. Debra's got the 411 on asparagus and why it makes the pee smell. She's right, it works almost immediately. Did TTOM hit yet??? For some reason, I'm not retaining as much water this time. Not sure why, but love it.

Anointed, you are fortunate that the muscle goes on quickly. I'd say I'm probably one of those where I really have to work on it, though I know I have some big muscle under my thigh fat. That's my story anyway.

Debra, so sorry about your cat and the bowel problem. Hopefully, she's hitting the litter box. Glad you are researching the asparagus acid syndrome thingy! What would we do without the internet? Thanks for looking it up as I've always wondered why it did that. Good luck getting that marriage license. I have to go get a certified copy of one too. And after 28 years of marriage. Never have been asked for one before, but this is for DH's new health insurance. Guess they have to have verification that I'm legally a spouse.

BBL,

Jeanette
 
Morning Xers,

Rotation: LGI8 Week5/Day7
Workout: WFW Circuit Shaping / Shape Transforming Circuit

Yesterday I had to go on a hunt for my package. The UPS driver left the package under a badmitton racket. We had some high winds yesterday, so I think he didn't want the package to blow away. Took DD and I a while to find it though. I also had my Tastefully Simple order delivery too.

I previewed the KB and Legs workout yesterday, and have to say that if I had more energy after doing Tracey's KB workout last night I would have been working out with Cathe also. :D It just looked like an awsome workout.

Tracy, I'm hoping to have the chance to preview all the new workouts this weekend. Need to make notes on what the weight changes will be. I'm sticking these new workouts into my LGI8. They may not fit the bill per the rotation, but I so want to do the workouts. I agree, maybe because we are working so hard at the workouts we don't see if Cathe is pumped or not. I think we notice those little things more. I noticed Jai had a couple of bloopers in the KB workout. :D

Traci, The only thing planned for this weekend is watching DD run in her sectional meet tomorrow. If they make the top 2 the team will be going to state next weekend. Too many things going on that weekend. :( DH is going to enjoy some paintball on Saturday. I just plan on cleaning the house, and doing a little baking. I need to help youngest DD clean her room. You can't even get in the girls room. x( I just have been avoiding the thing. Can you say bomb explosion! :D :D I had a little LOL at that fact that you are pulling out your sweats for 80 deg weather. I just pulled mine out when it got into the 40's around here. :D

TG, Last night when I was watching the KB workout, the first thing that popped into my mind was I bet Traci and TG would love this workout. You do need to save you pennies for this. I think you will like the weight segments also. Take a rest day! You have been working hard.

Debra, Have a great time with your friends at the State Fair. We had a great time this year when we went. Hope the vet visit goes well, and your cat can find relief. As you can see I also am liking the KB workout and I haven't even tried it yet. Go for it.

Jenette, So no go on the party planning hey! But your get together this weekend sounds like a fun time. :9 I love cornbread. Got to love those dutch oven recipies. I'm guessing this is one that you mix in the dutch oven and throw in the coals? Get those gloves on and start hauling that wood. :D

Wendy, So glad to hear that the anitbiotics are starting to do there job. We don't need you sick anymore. LIS is one that I think I can actually do. I'm such a klutz when it comes to step, that I don't attempt it often. So glad to hear that I might acutally be able to do this one. :D

Nicole, Very nice pics of the wedding. Good thing that you don't have those new workouts already. :D The temptation might be to strong for you to handle. Trying to think of something that you can do since the biking and swimming are a no go. I only have the one Tracey Staehle workout. I think the workout has potential, but a couple of the combos I have a hard time with. She also does an endless amount of front kicks at the beginning. I sweat buckets, but I can't stand the fact that I don't understand what the He## she is doing sometimes. At one point last night I was just looking at my TV with a blank look on my face.

Swifty, Oh when you said the squirrel crossed your path, I was so glad it didn't involve the bike. :D I totally understand your dread of the last 4 weeks. I think that was the hardest part of doing a second round. You can do it!

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
gotta go to store but HEY NICOLE! - just checked out the pics! BEAUTIFUL!!! Love you and little Ashlynne! You are radiant woman... These pics are reminding me of some TV star but I'll be dipped if I can recall who! LOL.... Thanks for sharing- looked at Pumpkin Patch too- just darling!
 
Laurie: OMG....good thing you found them, that could had been ugly:-( Sounds like I’m going to love these workouts, have fun with them:) I think everyone was getting a little bored and needed a change, now we have it. I hope Cathe starts on November workouts SOON :)

Wendy: Cardio and Weights I have a love/hate relationship with it. But, I can honestly say, since doing Cathe’s last series I’m really starting to like it. As you know I do love SEggs and LIC they are the only cardio and weights workout I have done. Thank you:) keep the reviews coming:)

Jeanette: I have too agree I believe planks works all area of the abs so much better than crunches. Really you can crunch all day and still not get a pack. I tell you, last night was the first time Ted didn’t cook and I was happy. Soon as I got home, here he go “what are we having for dinner” DUH:* DUDE:* I quickly said I’m not eating nothing said it with a little attitude too:+ I did bring for my lunch today, the last of the onion soups:9

Debra: Thanks for the reviews. I hate doing abs too after a workout. when I do first thing, I get a better ab workout, don’t always happen like that BUT..These workouts sound great keep it coming. Rest day is coming.

I'm in trouble today or should I say tonight, our company is ordering pizza :9 :9 :9 :9 I was good and told Lorrie to include a few Veggie :9
 
Good afternoon Ladies,

Leaving soon to take dd to the doctors for her shots.

Traci-X: I tried the link and got a yahoo log in expired message. I didn't even know I had a yahoo email account. Anyhow, I couldn't see the link.

Off to see Nicole's pictures before we leave.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Nicole: I love your pictures :) you are very radiant and so cute. The Pumpkin Patch is so adorable :) Thank you for posting

Add-on...............................................................
I think I’m going to make it through this pizza ordeal. I had my egg plant sandwich w/cheese and a pear The pizza is cut up in small pieces I got 4 pieces, which doesn’t add up to one slice, maybe I should go get 4 more}( :9 This is going to be me snack tonight while watching a few movies. Ted brought, "Why did I get Marry" with the lovely Janet Jackson. I just thought I share me news
 
Quickie post! Have to close up shop and run out to the groceria!

The asparagus soup was yummy! and DD did too! Of course I bribed her with a homemade apple dumpling. I made turkey burgers infused with lemon juice and zest -grilled em up. I was in the kitchen all afternoon. Yikes! I love to putz in the kitchen. Enjoy those breakfast cookies xers?:)

Round 2/Phase3/Week8/Day1/ Chest and Back and ARX
Note= it tough to get the chest working again this AMx( .

To answer group ?? on Round2 --

No, I'm not bored. During recovery week subbed for cardiox and no rest day subbed Imax3 - because I had tons of energy yesterday.

Paying for Imax3 today- during ARX backward bicycles my quads were confused and tired. :+ Bad! No more plyo wo before ARX!:) And to boot tomorrow's wo is PlyoX. LOL- that should be interesting.}(

I'm considering how many doubles I will attempt this Phase. Most likely not 4 as prescribed- possibly 3x. Last round I did 3x and all cardio x - no subs. Cardiox is fairly doable - Hmmmmm.

WendyX#### I would post pics of RT and reunion but I'm disabled when it comes to adding them to my pic trail or plopping them into this forum reply. Any suggestions pony em up. Hope you are feeling good today.:7 Tony did that cute smile at me this AM and I nearly melted.

NettaX#### Hmmm, didn't smell anything funny in the bowl this AM. LOL:+ Keep on stacking!

TracyX### I viewed the new P90X+ clips. I'm threatened by those Ghandi pushups. This AM I nearly tossed cookies pushing out 6 dive bombers! They are so difficult. What do you think? Will P90X+ be too tough for a regular kind of xer as my self. Those new Cathe's are the bomb. I'm green with envy.:7 Enjoy yourself.

Later- Stay Gorgeous!;-)
 
Hi all....

Nicole...You look great in the wedding pics! Thanks so much for sharing your weekend with us. You should not worry about your weight at all...you look fabulous! So, if you gain five pounds while your back heals, it will be fine!


Okay....had to be positive for a minute before I start in my own pity party. I had an accident in the grocery store parking lot and backed into someone. UGGGHH! When is this sh*^@y week going to end????? Of course no one was hurt, but it just threw me into a tissy...The police officer at least took pity on me and didn't give me a ticket. He was actually pretty, cute...LOL! But I am still just a wreck. I can't seem to break out of this funk. Anyway...I am going to lie down and try to take a nap. I changed my kitty's appointment...and never did make it into the grocery store, so I have to head back out later to do that. If I can't sleep, I'll try Eoin for relaxation.

Keep your fingers crossed that nothing else bad happens tomorrow. I don't know how much more I can take!

I promise my next post won't be filled with self pity. Thanks for listening.

Debra

Debra!!!!!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{huggers}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} It WILL get better soon- Sending you calm, peaceful vibes :*
 
Hi all,

We've gotten 1/100 of an inch of rain today.

I just finished the kickbox, legs, and core workout. Although kickbox is NOT my favorite, this is a good workout. I really liked the new way she did the plie squats. I'll surely be using that technique more often. I didn't go as heavy as I could have because I just did legs day before yesterday. I'll go heavier next time. As you all know, I love working legs and this had NO floorwork. What more could I ask for? I did the core work just so I could say I did it and I was pleasantly surprised: no standard crunches. I hate those too.

Debra - So sorry about the fender bender. It is so unnerving. At least you didn't get a ticket, so you won't have to go to court. That really is miserable.


I'll have to catch up with the posts later.

Happy Friday evening to all.

Tracy
 
Oooooh, Debra, I am so sorry about the little accident. Yes, you need that nap. This too will end. BUMMER.

Tracy, thanks for the good review of Kickbox/legs/core -- Traci, you too - sounds like SO MUCH FUN I don't know if I can stand it until Monday!!

Wendy, good luck with DD and the shots --

Teddygirl, enjoy that rest day!

I've been good all week. I'm behavin'! Today's workout was 30 min. LIC cardio plus 45 min TM. With my cold, steady state cardio is helping kind of sweat out the infection. Don't think I could handle much jumping right now.

Can't wait until my Cathe's get here on Monday!! Did I mention that???

TGIF, everybody!

Cheryl
 
Well, I've been to the doctor and the chiro and taken my pills and still no relief:( I haven't exercised in two days and I am going stir crazy! I thought about doing floorwork but I am afraid it will tighten my hips and worsen the problem. I'll figure it out.

I guess exercise has become who I am and it's hard to find out who I am without it.

Thanks all for the nice comments about the wedding photos. It was such a fun wedding, probably the best I've been too.

Tracy, Sounds like you are really utilizing those new workouts. I have vowed to stay away from my workouts until I get the new ones on Tuesday. I hope me back will be better by then. Wow, 1/100" of rain, must have been a downpour;) It's 90 degrees here so enjoy it.

Traci-X, I am so tired of being on the IL and it's only been two days! What a time to be injured. Your just making me want to do the workouts even more! I see your taking your own advice and not pushing it;) Take it easy, I don't want you back on the IL with me. How many clients do you have now? Are they seeing results? I would imagine so if they are as determined as you:) Glad you liked the pictures. Ashlynn is my niece and such a doll. She can be a little mom sometimes but it's cute because she's not mine:)

Teddygirl, Thanks for all the nice words about the pictures. I had a great time and it was nice to get out and have fun. You deserve a rest day for sure! You and Ted go do something fun and enjoy it:D How'd you do with the pizza? I saw Janet on Oprah and I thought that movie looked pretty good. Let me know what you think!

Debra, You have been through the ringer, haven't you? It will get better. At least you have the fair to look forward too. I was just reading a book last night for women and it said to always make sure you have something to look forward to, something that brings you joy. Without it we're useless. You have a beautiful DD that is so close to you and friends and family that love you, what more could you ask for:) Take care of yourself! {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}

Jeanette, Sorry you couldn't come home early:( Maybe next week. Glad you were able to do PUB without incident. How is your elbow feeling? Do you think it's improving? Are you having a little heat wave up there? It is 90 here today:(

Laurie, A little hide and go seek with your package, huh? You even got exercise looking for it:) Gee, your really selling me on Tracey Staehle;) I know I would be going crazy if I had the workouts in my hot little hands!

Swifty, Hey, can you send me some of your energy please?:) I can't believe you are doing doubles again! You'll be done before you know it though. Are you going to post more pictures on your avatar or get a Picture Trail?

Cheryl, Take it easy this weekend and recover. You, of course, are about as likely to take it easy as me;) Anything fun planned for your weekend?

Wendy, How did the doctor go? I took Tallon (6) last year for some and he was screaming and crying while running from the nurse. I just stood there confused and stared. I quickly snapped out of it though and literally had to hold him down so she could give them to him. I hope that didn't happen to you:p Are you almost ready for the big trip?

Off to make dinner!

Hi Lea, Carol and Amy

Nicole

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Nicole...Sweet woman...Thanks for the sweet words. It means a lot to me. So sorry to hear that your back is still giving you problems. I know it must be incredibly frustrating not to be able to work out. The only time I take more than a couple of days off is when I am on vacation. And even then, I am pretty busy doing stuff with DD. Sending gentle {{{{{hugs}}}}} your way too.

Tracy...Glad you liked the new dvd...Sounds like it is a keeper for you! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Cheryl...Glad to see your smiling face, too! I am glad you have been such a good girl this week...Do you have an hour countdown until the new Cathe's are in your hands??

Traci....Thanks for the hugs...I obviously need all I can get right now. I bet you are already cozy and sleeping tight in your warm bed with sweet Sandy and no snoring men!

Wendy...Hugs to DD and her shots....no fun...promise to reply to your email tomorrow...I got a bit sidetracked today...

Gotta go for now...See you in the morning...



Debra
