Back again,
Well, CoreSyn is done for the last time! Woohoo! Not my favourite workout, but definitely one that makes it worth your time. I realized I'm not enamoured of it because I still cannot do a couple of the moves at the level of Tony and the gang. Silly reason to not like a workout, huh? I'm so competitive

I thought for sure I'd be able to pull off one unassisted Dreya roll by now, but no luck.
I've got time for a bit of personals, but there's so much I want to say in response to all your posts, I'd better try and be brief so I'm not here for 2 hours. Let's see. Where to start....
LeaX - Very, very interesting to hear about the Pet Adoption. I admire you and TraciX for your volunteer spirit. Question: HOW do you snowboard when it's +75 degrees??? Where's the snow?? I'm very confused. I was eating everything in sight yesterday, too. Just ate and ate and ate. I think it's because of the early morning workout. Or could be pms. I'm still about 6 days away from that, but some times I'm a few days early, so maybe it's closer than I think. I'm having major chocolate cravings, so maybe that's it. Yes, I think often how we feel about our bodies is not reflected in the mirror. At least, I hope so! No rush on the package; whenever you get a chance is fine. You're just so generous to do it in the first place. Have a great weekend!!!! I look forward to a full report about the snowboarding. Make sure you wear a jacket with an Ipod pocket. I hear they're mandatory equipment.
TraciX - wonderful news on how "easy" LL was for you! That was my first Cathe lower body workout, and I look on it with a great deal of fondness. And it still kicks my booty. Those plie low-ends at the very end are just pure sadism, IMO. The facial!! My!! Thanks for the description! How delightful. I love Aveda products; just can't afford them. Yes, cheaper than Botox, and a lot more appealing! So, who puts out this Ab Bootcamp, and how can I get my hands on it? Be sure to let me know how the pilates for flat abs goes. I was looking at that one in the book store yesterday. If you give it the thumbs up, then I may buy it. What is your birthdate, please? Yup, YogaX is on deck for tomorrow. And I plan to do it. It's a more athletic yoga than anything I've ever found, and I like how it works the lower body (booty, legs, back) so much. It's a great yoga to muscle endurance. I'll take that greasy burger, thank you very much!! And Sargent sounds very quaint. I grew up in a town of 600, and except for the ocean, and the fact there was only ONE restaurant, it all sounds similar. I was also related to about 70 of those 600 people (not an exaggeration), so it felt like the whole town was family.
TracyX - That's a very, very interesting standing ab session you described. Thanks for the description! Did you make that up yourself? The recent edition of Oxygen magazine has a plyo workout in it that looks really hard.
Debra - did you get your Cardio Coach problems figured out? Yes, the housing market here is the envy of the country. Fortunately, my DH sells hardwood floors

. Are you saying that yesterday you did Cathe's KM Blast, then the 4 combos, THEN KenpoX, THEN the warm up??? That's CRAZY intense!!! I bow to you! Your "takeaways" from P90X are exactly what I would have written. Thanks for doing that for me!

Your plan for the Lean rotation sounds very alluring. I'm still trying to find something to commit myself to, and all this talk of different workouts and rotations are like shiny little objects to me. They all sound good, and I want to do them all!
Jeanette - I feel the same as you about KenpoX. I only subbed it once, too. It's a keeper. I cringed just reading about your friend's knees. Did cycling do that to her? I'm really going to have to try these Dove dark chocolate bars, you all keep talking about them so much. I'd forgotten about the Towel Hopping being left out of the book! I wrote it in the first time I did the workout. It's a toughie, especially if you try to get your knees up. Excellent job on out-Dreya-ing Dreya! Did you do the rolls unassisted today? I have that plyo-legs workout from the master's series. I may have to drag it out as well (she says reluctantly). Maybe we should both do a thorough workout, like BM2, on Monday, THEN take our pictures

Get everything buffed up for the photos!
Laurie - you taught DH how to sew?? I'm with Jeanette on this one: it would be easier for DH to teach me how to lay hardwood floors, than the other way around. KPC is a Cathe-gem. Have a fun time! The murder-mystery dinner will be so much fun! Your family is really the theatah type, aren't you? Let us know when one of your kids gets their first Oscar nomination
******TANK TOP NOTE*******
I notice that everyone (myself included) asked for a medium size. When I looked at the website's sizing chart yesterday, it appears that their sizes run small. The dress size for a medium, for example, is size 2. For a large, is size 6. I'm small in the bust, so I think that I could fit into the medium, but the arm holes might be a bit small, or the length a bit short. I'm rather torn. I'm 5'4", as they say for a Medium, but am heavier than the 120lbs they recommend. So, I think I'm going to order a large and play it safe. I just thought I'd mention it to you all, in case you didn't see the sizing chart.
******DVD ALERT******
I just got a notice in my email from Amazon.ca that Shiva Rea has a dvd called "Creative Core Abs". It has 3 core workouts on it. I may put it on my "someday" list.
So much for brevity, hey? I could go on, but I'll save it for another day.
Cheers,
Sandra
