*Nov 06 “ Shock Your Body” 2006 Workouts *
20 min run + Bonus Abs B&G: I shall be doing LawnMax x 2 + Leg X

~~~~~~~ ********** ~~~~~~~~

All of the workouts got done yesterday as did training last night…. I am so jazzed! My client has dropped 7” overall in 6 weeks- We also re-did her strength test and shes lifting 30% more load and we’ve been endurance focused so far… We start a Strength Building Cycle after vacation which will include Pyramids, Drop Sets, Tri-sets & Negatives. I am so proud of her… her eating has been 80% clean and she looked me dead in the eye and said “I never thought I’d believe you about dumping the cardio marathons…”. (all she has been able to do is train 2x a week with me and 1-2 walks in neighborhood). I told her I wanted to be HER! I have never dropped 7” in 5” weeks! LOLOL
Cant wait to see how my ads do to attract day clients… They start running mid month.

Wendell & his mom off to deer lease for prep weekend- Season opening is 1st week of November… I shall not now or EVER go to the killing fields although the pics make it look breathtaking! I think the energy of animals being shot wouldn’t be good for me. It’s a family tradition for them- I figure let them have their time! LOL … It’s a 7 hour drive so I am single with 3 kids this weekend!

Back after coffee & child feeding !

Hi all,

Just a quick Hi for now. I had to pay some bills this morning and now it's time to go to work. Have a great day and I'll check back later.

Traci - You are running?

Tracy
 
Hi Tracy! Must be bill paying morning on the planet! Not running... Rotation called for a 20 min run and I have lawn max to do which is 1 hour push mower... enough for me... well that & LegX! LOL ... Hope today is smooth as silk for you!
 
Hi all! Hope everyone slept as well as I did last night in my new mattress! Let's see...planning on doing the WillPower and Grace dvd today...don't remember the name of the instructor as it's been a while since I've done it...It doesn't work into a rotation well, but it's great for a recovery week. XDH is way more upset than DD about his trip not happening...I have spent more time on the phone with him calming him down than I have with Julia! I hope he makes it through this conversation on Sunday.

To catch up a bit........

Traci...Don't aggravate your should while you mow. How wonderful that your client is seeing such a vast improvement! You should be so proud of yourself (and her, of course!). I know it will be exciting for you to get some more clients after your vacation. LOL about the "killing fields"...so many people hunt around here too...Just not my thing. Have fun on your bachelorette weekend! DD and I are very close...and I would rather it be just me here to deal with the aftermath with her. I can control the situation without it getting too emotional or out of hand. XDH is overly emotional right now...so it's better that I just handle it on my own. My quote of the year is "Everything that doesn't go right, goes wrong for all the right reasons (although it may take time to see this)." A quote from the original icing licker, Eion.

Tracy...I know you must be glad it is Friday!

Jeanette...So glad you made up with your buddy. I hate having that kind of stuff hang over me too. Sounds like you are becoming quite the golfer! I am glad you are getting a ride or 2 in this weekend. I know you must miss it. I promise to eat some Kettle Korn for you today! Have fun with grandma this weekend....are you going to have her watch you workout again? It is nice that you are able to spend time with her.

Nicole....So sorry things are tough on you guys right now. {{{{HUGS}}}

Well...I think that catches me up for now....I caught up with everyone else yesterday. I will be eating lots of unhealthy food this afternoon, so I had better go hit play!

Happy Friday Xers!

This morning was Step Blast. It's so fun! I love all step workouts, they're my favorites :D My legs are still sore, so making the move this morning was interesting, but I'm less stiff, so it's all good. I'm getting so excited for the new workouts now that shipping is so close!!

Traci-X -- WOW, congrats to your client! That's fabulous! I hope your ad yields just a fabulous results :D I'm a single mom of 3 kiddos this weekend, too, as I'm a football widow, lol. DH is a Penn State season ticket holder, so he goes to all the home games. Oh, well. I'm pretty used to it by now.

Nicole -- (((HUGS))) I'm glad you got your good visit in while you could. Continued thoughts and prayers for your family.

Hi to everyone else! I hope you have a great day!

Carol
 
Good Morning,

Rotation: MIS/week IV
Am: KPC drills & L&G (standing)/completed
Pm: L&G floorwork/Coremax

Me feeling good:p how bout you guys.

This morning, I did KPC drills I tell you my energy was to the roof workout was da-bomb. After I finished I did L&G standing work.

I have to find the workout on KPC premix that include L&G first you do KB and then L&G back to KB and so on. It just maybe the 82 minute workout as someone said. Anyhoo, last night went for an hour walk the weather was so beautiful, I loved it, when I got back home I was to pooped to do my abs, took me a hot bubble bath and called it a day. bbl
 
Debra: Just used your/Eoin saying on my tag lines! I LOVE that and so believe it!!! Glad you feel more in control w/ situation as it stands... ROF about XDH being so emotionsl- dont get me wrong - I never like to see anyone in pain - perhaps when he settles down he will understand Eoin's quote. XXOOXOXO

Carol: We're just going to have to call you DOMS lady! Great workouts you've been doing!!

TeddyGirl: There are 2 CIRCUIT l/g + KPC... Sandra does the 82 minute one and I do the 40 something minute one! LOL

Huggers to all who follow- almost lawn time:7
 
Morning Xers,

Rotation: LGI8 Recovery P90X
Workout: YogaX (I'm actually looking forward to this one)

I was informed this morning of all the places that I would have to taxi oldest to this weekend. :D Glad Homecoming only happens once a year. She did ok in her meet yesterday. Came in 27th with a time around 17:30. But the girls varsity team came in 1st. Today the Xcountry team is running a relay race to the other school. They will be delivering a letter. :D What a cool idea. Good thing this school isn't that far away.

Well DH made a decision last night and let Cami sleep in our room without being in her kennel. :D She did an awsome job! I also found out that she likes to sleep on other things besides the floor. :D I'm going to look for a dog bed this weekend. I can't have her laying on the girls dirty clothes. x(

Looks like we are going to be able to sleep late tomorrow morning. :D Something I'm looking forward too.

Traci, I'm hoping that I can be on line tomorrow, since I don't have to run anywhere in the morning. :) Can't believe that I am saying that. I don't need to do taxi service until later for the dance. Way to go on getting your client to drop 7". How long where her cardio marathons? I have been cutting mine to only 30-40 min. And that along with the proper eating must be what is helping me also. My pants where fitting loose this morning, and of course that brought a smile to my face. Wishing you good luck that those ads do there job. Will you be putting before and after pics of the client on your web page? Or maybe a testimonial from her would be good. Ok I have to ask, are you doing LegX backwards today? I am going to try it that way one of these days.

Debra, That new mattress is doing you good. Glad you are getting the rest that you need.

Carol, Glad you had a great time with SB. I'm excited that we are getting the workouts also. I put them into my LGI8 rotation, and now I'm happy that I slipped in a recovery week. This worked perfect for me.

Jeanette, Good thing that you have an understanding with the chatty lady. But if you hadn't given her the what for, she would have went on her merry way thinking she was doing the right thing. :7 At least now she knows she came on too strong.

Amy, You will have to let us know how good the information is in the new book you received. There is so much information out there that one can get overwhelmed.

Sandra, So what do you have planned for after the Timesaver workouts. Will that take you to the new series? CTX and TS are the only ones that Cathe has like this right? I like how you are working these routines into your rotation. How long do you plan to include the SH series into the rotation before changing it up? I know you probably answered all these questions before. :)
Oh I agree with you on the chataranga runs. Evil things!!!

Nicole, {{{{HUGS}}}} to you.

Tracy, Hello to you. Hope all goes well for you today since you are back at work.

Lea, Sounds to me like Plyo Legs is a tough workout. I don't have that one, but it sounds like LegX and PlyoX put together in a shorter workout. Your endurance will come back before you know it.

TG, Good for you for changing up your workouts so that you can spend more time with Ted. I understand about the dentist. If both DH and I didn't have insurance it would have been difficult for me to have the two caps I do have in my mouth already. I have to schedule another one for a tooth that is cracked. Between both insurance companies we will end up paying around $300. And DH has been taking money out of his check so the remainder will be paid from that.

Wendy, Hope that cold has not gotten the better of you!

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Traci, you're cracking me up about "almost lawn time". It's pitch black out the window here in California. Wow, 7" lost by your client in 5 weeks! Why can't that happen to me? My DH used to like to deerhunt, but you can't hardly get a tag in California. He doesn't like it that much to want to go out of state and buy a tag. I would prefer to look at the deer rather than see them shot. They were all over the golf course last night.

Today was Slim Series Tone It Up (I think that's the one, they all seem the same). I modified anything that hurt my elbow. I will either be spending the night over at GM's or going over in the a.m. Have to find out from my sister as she's been watching grandma since Wednesday when Mom & Dad left for Idaho.

Debra, surely hoping that DD takes the news well. Kids can be so affected by things and carry baggage into their adulthood. Know she will be all right though. Hope you eat lots of KK for me today and have a blast on the rides! I am a truly lousy golfer right now. I'll have to work on keeping the fun in this game as I tend to get pretty serious about most sports that I do, or at least I always have in the past. I'm glad that the lady from golf and I can now be friendly to each other. Much better situation now. If I have to stay overnight with GM tonite, I will definitely bring my workout stuff and she will have to watch again.

Anointed, happy that you liked the workout this morning and had lots of energy. Isn't it funny how we have some exceptionally good days like that? Got any big plans for this weekend? What's Ted cooking for you?

Wendy, where are you? Hope you are finally feeling better.

Hi to everyone else,

Jeanette
 
Laurie, sleeping in tomorrow sounds wonderful. Been a long time since I've gotten to do that. Congrats on the weight/inches loss!!! What a great feeling to have this morning. I'm back to weighing myself daily. I got away from it here recently after doing it all of my life. At first, I was only weighing once a week, then every 2 weeks, then absolutely avoiding it. It really helps me to stay on track with my eating so I'm back to weighing and have lost a couple of pounds. Your DD is doing wonderfully at school and track. Got to be a good feeling for her parents for sure (aside from all the taxi service). Enjoy your yoga today!

Jeanette
 
TG, There are three premixes like the one you described. They are #18, #19, and #20. The last one is the longer of the three.

Laurie
 
Hi, everyone! Back home! (and so relieved) - didn't get in until 2:30 a.m. Wed nite/Thurs morning. Staggered through work yesterday... snuggled Vic... and was only good for 30 min of the LIC cardio premix this morning. TGIF!

Traci, what incredible results for your client. You must be so excited. What will you do with your fun 3 day weekend?

Everyone, are you so excited about the new workouts ship date??? I can't wait!!! Very, very exciting.

Have a wonderful morning, everyone!
BBL!
Cheryl
 
Traci...Have you been to Eion's website? Go to that and look under Eion's map...He has a ton of sayings like that.... here's the link...

http://www.eoinfinnyoga.com/happiness.php

I have a copy of it on my mirror in my bedroom...Am I an Eion geek or what??

Laurie...So is DD going with a group of friends to the dance? Not with a boy, I hope....LOL!!! So glad to hear that Cami is fitting in so well with your family. What a lucky pooch she is! Are you sick? How can you look forward to yogaX??

Teddygirl...Glad you slept well last night. I'm glad you got such a long walk in...it's nice when the weather changes just a bit. What are you big plans for the weekend?

Carol..Waving as you blast on by!

Jeanette...Funny that you are so competitive...That is probably one of my main problems is that I am not competitive enough! I think telling DD will actually help her...right now she knows that something is wrong...and has a really good idea what, but she hasn't had to deal with it yet...She will be much better when everything is out in the open. Have fun with Grammy!

I finished my pilates from yesterday and then did willPower and Grace with Stacey Lei...It's tougher than you think once you get into it. My legs are still shaking a bit! At the end you hold a plank for what seems to be about 10 minutes...and my buttocks were yelling at me by the end!

Okay...outta here for now...Waving to all who follow!!

Here I am again for a quick check-in. I feel like such a lousy friend just popping in to whine and then popping out.

I am taking the boys to a field trip to the pumpkin patch which should be a nice distraction. I always enjoy going and seeing all of the animals and pumpkins.

Right after that we are going to visit grandma because family is coming to see her. I am glad we get to get together because it's not often enough, I just wish it were under better circumstances.

I managed to do CTX Step & Intervals but now my back is a bit sore. I know I will here it from DH and maybe Traci & Tracy:p

I hope to catch up this evening but if I don't get to, I'll see you gals tomorrow:)

Nicole

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

Cheryl: Welcome back home:)

Jeanette: I was dragging this morning had a great time }( I was thinking, hm...making today my rest day. Ted was like yeah, stay in bed with me, I pushed him aside :+ and got up and dressed and pushed play:+ and it was on. Not sure what he's planning to cook, who cares. I have the tastes for big fat juicy Turkey Burgers, that's tomorrow:9
 
Tracie: Thank you:) Police stretches, one foot in front of the other while other leg is extended as far back as possible lean body forward and stretch calf, that’s it. Cathe does them in her DVD workouts, but, using a table or a wall give me a good DEEP stretch in my calf:) :) I was checking out Eoin, wondering how the heck does he twists himself like that:D x(
 
Week 2/ Day 12/ L&B ARX/ Round 2

Good Afternoon Ladies,

I'm starting to feel a little better. Haven't gone through near the amount of tp. Yes, Carol... I'm too cheap to think about buying tissue paper when healthy. When sick, I'm just too darn lazy to do it myself and too tired to bug Phil to get it for me. I've got too many other things for him to do for me!;-)

The car wasn't finished yesterday. I was left to play with Eoin. It was probably a good thing. Don't need to sharing my germs with Yogis in heat.

Sorry, I haven't been on much to post. I've been reading as much as I can. There's so much to do. I'm not feeling up to most of it this week.

I'll have to catch up on personals later. I have an appointment at the travel center to get my shots today. That means, I have to walk to the mechanics. Thankfully, the mechanic is just down the road, not even a block away. I can see it once I cross the street.

I'll be leaving tonight for the central PA for the weekend. I'll be back on Monday if I don't make it back later this afternoon.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!!!
Wendy
 
Hi all,

Lots of talk about Eion today. I'll be visiting him after my run. I just bought new shoes, so hopefully it will be a comfortable one.

TGIF, I'm heading out now, it feels like summer so I should get a good sweat going.


Yes, Nicole, I'm going to cyber YELL at you>>>>>>>TAKE IT EASY. One 1/2 hour workout can cost you weeks of rehab, Right Traci????? There are two of us who are or have been on the hard headed list. It's not a good place to be.


Tracy
 
Hi gang,

I'm feeling very flat today. I tried to pep myself up using wheat germ bisuits and Nutella, but all that did was make me feel too full. But at least I resisted the pies when I was at the grocery store. Canada has Thanksgiving on Monday, so it's a 3 day weekend. We'll be going to a friend's house on Sunday for the full-meal dinner.

This morning I did SH shoulders, and CTX Leaner Legs & abs.

I'm hitting the sack early tonight, so hopefully I'll be more cheery-eyed in the morning. Have a great night.

Sandra
