WHERE HAS SUMMER GONE?

Today: YOGA + Tennis Night:D



~~~~~~~~~~~Road Trippers Question of the day: ~~~~~~~~
A) What’s the first thing you’ll say to Cathe when you meet her??
B) Are you practicing this in the mirror??


Back in a bit ladies....
 
Back again-

Amy: THANKS for pm! I shall print & digest! {{{{Amy}}}:7

SandraX
LOL on puter time! I guess that means you’re a better mom than employee??? OR It could mean you like the task of mothering more than thinking??? OR perhaps the Xers make your creative juices flow????:7
I sure wish my ttom hadn’t hit early- its usually more difficult… hard to carry around heating pads for 2 days… Tennis should be REAL fun in this state! LOL

DebraX
Good lord you SICK woman! Can you walk this morning? How about the potty? :7 Are you groaning??? LOL- I am so very sore this morning from my leg day which was NOTHING like yours! Hope you had the best time with BFF! * Rocks- I think you have to watch them because if they get too worn down they start to break apart- erosion theory I believe.


TracyX
I am so afraid of using super heavy weights on my barbell for leg work…. I max out at 45 safely and still I am overly cautious. For me its just not worth it. One mis-step with a lunge and I could easily sprain/break my back… I think I’d trade leg muscle for endurance.:7

NicoleX
:7 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! What a nice evening you must have had! Lots of summer brides around here! *clink* Heres to at least 9 more years of pure bliss! * Cardio Blast- YEP I recall it about killed me!

Happy Wonderful Day to X Team!
All caught up- ready for LOTS more coffee and water- bloat x( is BAD today!


:7
 
Moorrnningggg :)

Feeling good, I just finished Strike Zone nice! Tonight, P90X Shoulders & Arms and there after hitting swimming pool. Our pool has open back up, they remodeled it, so I'm there:p :p just going to hang out, take me time and do 15 short laps easy stuff, ttyl getting ready for work
 
Hi,

Annointed - What happened with the tooth? Did I miss that post? I wish I had a place to swim, it's great exercise.

Traci - I used 60, I'd like to get back up to 70 though. I probably should just give that up for a while and do floorwork instead:)Did you say you had that K. Spreen Kickboxing workout that people are talking about? I need to incorporate more KB. Maybe I should try the Strikezone first. It did look good when I previewed it.

Tracy
 
TeddyGirl:
hope tooth is taken care of & you are feeling TERRIFIC today!

TracyX
I LOVE Strikezone- its got chapters for just kickboxing + Drlls for Upper + Drills for Lower. Great investment imo- Form is key for Janis too so I end up really polishing my skills whenever I pop it in. I also have Kimberleys Kickbox Bootcamp & Cardio Camp ....
Cardio Camp is a combo of HiLo + Kick + Abs.... Chaptered
Kickbox Bootcamp is Kick + Body Bar Drills + Core..... Chaptered
She cues VERY well too.
 
Good Morning, ladies!

Like Traci said, where did the summer go??? Today is my younger brother's birthday.....which means mine is in 3 weeks!!! This year is the big 3-5, oh my!!!

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a great day!

Let's see....Oh, yeah, it's HIIT today. And a haircut! I have also been trying to get DH to settle down and get some rest. He's been going on little to no sleep for 3 days now and doesn't believe me when I tell him that he fall asleep standing up!!! He also has some swelling in his ankles but WON'T lay down long enough to let it go down!!! He is starting to grate on my last nerve!!!!!

Sorry for the self-centered post.

Nicole- Happy Anniversary! Mine is also coming up in 3 weeks (yes, on my birthday)

Traci- Yes, the DOMS are layering in nicely, but I have noticed that since I've changed my supplements around, they are not has harsh and long lasting! Still, the act of sitting down is sore, but once I'm down, it's good!

TG- I would love to have a pool that I don't have to do maintanance on!

Cathe QOD- No, I have no idea what I'm going to say to her first, and thusly, am not practicing it in the mirror, but suffice to say that knowing me, it'll be something stupid and I'll trip over my tongue to get it out!!!:7
 
TracyX: Nope you haven’t missed anything:) Other than my entire body being filled with bacteria and infection. Dr Harper said the bacteria and infection is in the nerve of my tooth, not good. That’s why my throat is sore the infection had to drain somewhere. He’s going to take out 2 of my wisdom teeth, when infection subsides.

Yesterday when I got home I was DONE I mean DDOONNEEEEEx( :-( My tooth, throat and body was aching so, ooh we! Dr. Harper said I would feel relief within 24 hours and its working. As soon as I left the dentist office, I stopped at Giant Eagles and purchased meds, couldn’t even get out of the store I stood there popping meds, you should had seen my face. I took 2 Penicillin VK 500mg and 1 Tylenol #4 and rushed home and immediately got into my bed.

I woke at 4am before alarm clock went off, that’s weird, considering all the meds I took and watched Cops and Divorce Court got up and cleaned and worked out. My throat is still sore I can feel the infection and my tooth is still aching not as much as yesterday man oh man, dont worry, I’m going to make it.:7 Tonight, right before finishing Shoulders & Arms going to pop 1 Tylenol, I should be okay. When the dentist office open, going to first check to see if I can swim.

Another issue is going on with me that had me in tears last night, I cried myself to sleep. My friend the squirrel he’s been my friend for the past 4 ½ years. He can’t come home because they cut the tree that’s was in front of my bedroom window. I don’t know what to do
:-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
 
Morning Ladies,

Rotation: Cathe's July '07
Workout: Week 2/Day 4/MM Upper Body Premix (I will get this done today!) and a Run

So this rotation is going very slowly for me. We lost in volleyball last night. The team we played had a couple of ringers. Before the game started they where giving introductions, so ya know they never played together before. You have two guys at about 6'3" tall spiking. They where not that good though, because I was digging their spikes. :) They where killing us on the dinking it over the net. x( It was good to enjoy a cold beer after that was over with. And I had a nice chat with my brother. :)

Well the hair appointment wasn't for me. It was for my DD's!!! Glad I took a second look in my appointment book. I let oldest DD get her hair hi-lighted. It of course looks like she has been in the sun all summer. Youngest DD just had a trim. Got out of there spending a chunk of change $$$$. I thought DH was going to have a seizure when he found out. I had to explain to him that we women need to be beautiful. :D :D Oldest also had her eyebrows waxed. Now they are both ready for getting their pictures taken for school.

Traci, The Kimberly Spreen workout that has the KB + Combat Drills + Abs is Absolute Kickboxing isn't it? Kickbox Bootcamp is the one that she uses the step with. Or am I wrong! Sorry to hear about the TTOM. I agree with you, where has the summer gone. I can't believe that the girls will be back in school in a month.

Teddygirl, Your workout today sounds good. And the 15 laps in the pool will be a refreshing workout. :) How's the tooth today?

Nicole, Happy Anniversary! DH and I will be celebrating ours this month. In about 4 weeks.

Amy, Hey, you are not having a self-centered post. We all have frustrations in our lives, and we Xers are a supportive group. ;-)

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
TRACYX
LISTEN TO Laurie on Kimberly! LOL - I forgot I have 3 of hers and YES LaurieXX is correct! SORRY!!!!
 
Good morning,
Running late this morning. Did Push/Pull Upper Body Premix 3X this morning. Good workout. After work is a bike ride with a girlfriend. Finished the grouting last night of the hearth, YAHOO! Just have to seal the grout lines in a couple more days and it will be finished. Then of course, DH has a little sheetrock finishing to do around the hearth, a little touch up painting and we can move the new stove onto the hearth.

Traci, are you looking forward to tennis tonite? How is the heat when you are playing or is it a factor? I will be playing golf tomorrow night with DH attending so I'm looking forward to that (not sure he is). Drink lots for the bloat today. TTOM is any day for me too.

Teddygirl, enjoy the pool. Glad the meds are kicking in for the tooth. Know you were just flat miserable. NOTHING is worse than an aching tooth. My temporary crown feels great. I'm sure the squirrel is scoping out a new tree to live in, but yes, it's sad.

Amy, oh to be 35 again! I'll be 49 this November. Part of me keeps saying, hey, act your age, you are nearly 50. The other part says don't give up. Why is your DH not sleeping?

Laurie, sorry about the volleyball game loss. Way to go on the digs!!! Not sure I have it in me to dive around anymore. Got my hair cut and highlighted last night. $70.00 for both, plus a nice tip. I gave up massages for highlighting. Miss the massages though...

Debra, I'd give it so more time with the riding lessons. Is she clamoring to go again? If not, I wouldn't push it at all as she is pretty young. There are so many fun things for kids to do. You are a great Mom to give her so many opportunities. I came from a family of 5 kids, with Dad doing seasonal road work, Mom stayed at home so no extra money. About the only organized activity I think I got to do was Camp Fire Girls for a couple years, swimming lessons and some softball. We entertained ourselves, rode bikes, sang, wrote and performed little plays, skating, trips to the library, cashed in our bottles and bought candy at the corner store. All without our parents along. Times were different for sure. They'd say goodbye to us in the morning and we ran loose all day until dinnertime.

Hi to Wendy, Sandra, Tracy, Cheryl, Swifty and anyone else I missed!

Jeanette
 
Hi all,

Jeanette - I'm a long way from 35 too. I just don't think about it. I'm not giving up on the fitness.....

Laurie - The money is why I haven't been to get highlights again recently. I have to pay almost 3 times what Jeanette pays.

So is the Spreen workout worth getting or should I just forget it?

Teddygirl - Sorry about the teeth. When I had the cracked tooth I was in the most pain I'd ever been in, except for the back:)

Tracy
 
Good morning ladies. I think I am going to have to take a rest day today. I had planned on some SS cardio...but my body is rejecting that idea. I am achy and sore all over...not just my legs...LOL...and then I counted up and it has been over a week since I took a full rest day. I wanted to keep going since I have a rest day on Saturday when BFF comes...but I don't think I could do anything today. We'll see how I am feeling tonight. DD is at camp this morning...and then she has a play date this afternoon at our house...and then we have dinner with my mom, so we'll see how it goes after that. Even my upper body feels fatigued this morning!

Traci...I guess you're right about the rocks...I didn't think about that. Hope you and DH have a blast playing tennis last night. Make sure he keeps his clothes on, though. My DH and I could never play something like that since he is uber competitive and would probably let the moment over take him and slam a ball at me! Did I ever ask you the other day about your MIL...Did she recover fully from her procedure?

TG..So sorry about the loss of your tree and the subsequent loss of your little squirrel! Why do people always cut down trees? Don't they know it's bad for the environment to do that? Hope your tooth heals quick so you can go ahead and get it completely fixed. Which, let me just add, does not sound like any fun to me!

Tracy...I have StrikeZone and Absolute KB and I haven't done either of them yet. I think 60 is pretty heavy with the squats! My max is about 45...probably for the same reason...don't want to hurt my back. How are things going with your FIL? Is he still at your house, or back with BIL?

Laurie...Well...If your hair had been a beautiful as your DD's I am sure you would have dazzled the other team into submission! Sorry you guys lost, though! DH's don't always understand what is important to young girls. It's a bit a pampering that all women need!! LOL!

Amy...Maybe you could just bop DH in the head so that he would HAVE to lay down! LOL! Have fun with HIIT today. You are a better woman than me.

Okay...think I'm done for now...Caught up with everyone else last night...I am going to do a few things around the house this morning and see how the rest of my day goes!

Hi, everyone!

I am achy and sore from Monday's PP and am delighted about it - I think changing up my workouts a little helped me get some good DOMS again. I'll remember that. I think I got a little too accustomed to PUB }( ;)

Jeanette, great job on PP 3x!

Debra, enjoy your rest day - sounds like you need it!

I am going to at least do Step Works - doing a cardio party with HeatherB, one of my RT buds, so I can at least get that in. B&G will be pushed back yet again till tomorrow.

Amy, enjoy the haircut!

Teddygirl, omigosh on the wisdom teeth! I just feel for you, girl. So glad you've got the penicillin and tylenol in you. Very sad, too, that your tree and squirrel are gone today. Please get some rest and feel better tomorrow. At least you got in to the dr. and you know what is up and can address it x( x( x(

Traci, girl, hope you're having a wonderful day! As always!! Have your new outfits come yet? Can't wait to hear how you like them.
Also looking forward to checking your new website when it's up.

Laurie, Sandra, Amy Swifty, Wendy, Nicole - have a wonderful day!
More later -
Cheryl
 
Good morning,

I was supposed to start working 5 minutes ago, so I'll keep this brief right now and come back later on a break for a longer post.

This morning I did BG Leg Blast premix, and Shiva's Fluid Power Hip Opening sequence. I feel teeeeeeeeeerific now. Lovin' that yoga! Even managed to do some of the hand stand sequence (but not away from the wall!).

You're all working hard today, as usual. That's nice to see. Keep up the good work, Gang!

SandraX
 
Hi all,

I've been busy catching up on bills and paperwork, but all I have left is some filing. Yeah!

Sandra - I just love the sequences in Fluid Power. That Mandala Namaskar 1 works miracles for me. She did outdo herself. I wanted to do the standing flow so bad yesterday, but I had to get in backbends and hip openers. There is just not enough time:)

Cheryl - Glad you found something that seems to be working. I hate the plateaus. I've been combining shorter leg workouts and getting good results.

Debra - Sometime you just need a rest day. It's probably better to take one. Things with FIL are not good. DH had him all weekend by himself and he is beside himself. I think that the constant care, plus the fact that FIL is dying is just too much. I really don't know what to do. It is hard because DH is not nice when he is under stress and no one wants to be around him, kids included. I just wish that they would get some help, but they won't, and so I can only feel so sorry for him and BIL. It is a mess.

Tracy
 
Real Quick..........

I know he’s just a squirrel but he is my little friend, and yes I am up set about it. How do you forget times like when working out in my bedroom, I’d always open my window to let him know, I’m home and before I could finish the warm up, there he was laying on his tummy in my window watching me. Sometimes he will stay there until my workout was done, but not always, he’d leave and come right back. He’s been doing this for 4 1/2 years,since I moved there. He’s so tiny and cute, everyday, we spend time. And if I was watching a movie and had my blinds closed he would scratch window screen until I open my blinds and I’d say hello or hey you and he would just look me dead in my eyes I’d leave blinds open and he’d just lay there and watch the television with me..

The past 3 days I had noticed he has not touched his food. Now, I’m WORRIED about him So, first thing I would do when I get home from work, I'd check to see if he ate his food or if he was in his pot sleeping, chilling or relaxing. I even brought little things for him to make him more comfortable, even his own little squirrel plate. Our friendship had grown and last year he started eating out of my hands.

As I was leaving for work worried about him there he was next to tree, I said ((hey you)) and he looked at me, and yes, I knew it was him, I looked into his eyes. And he knows me from hey you. I swear I couldn’t figure out that look he had it was strange something in his eyes, it really puzzled me, so, finally he ran off and I proceeded to my car but all while walking to my car, I was thinking about that look HM………….I just felted something different cant explain it. Now, I understand it he MISS me.

Building Management cut all the limbs off the tree and he can not get to the window or home to his pot.
 
Here's how I'm going to do this: one personal at a time. Everyone gets a post today! You get one! And you! And you!!! (okay, enough of the Oprah-schtick).

Oooh, just wanted to mention: I've been listening to the Yoga Shakti music CD. It's so lovely. I would never have pegged this music as yoga music. It's great to have on while I'm working.

Let's see, who's first? (going back to yesterday's discussions)......

Anointed - Oh, what a terrible couple of days you're having! I can't believe you lived with the cavity long enough that it actually got into the nerve and caused a whole-body infection. That's nasty stuff. I believe this means a route-canal is in order, doesn't it? I'm so sorry about your squirrel dilemma. Is there nothing you can put around the tree to help him scamper up to your window?

SandraX
 
DebraX! How are you doing today? You didn't even notice when the tumbler turned off? Very funny! How did they turn out? What's Step Two? The anniversary date went very nicely, thank you for asking. Dinner was delicious, but over before we knew it. We couldn't possibly go home that early! So we shopped around for a bit and bought my new iPod, then went to DQ for some ice cream. The iPod is an early b-day present for me, so I guess I had two good days in one.

I'd love to get this dang dissertation done!!! I've been waiting on my supervisor for months. I've "reminded" him a few times, and he keeps saying 'Yes, yes, I'll get to it, I promise', then nothing. Sigh. I need to become more aggressive, I think. When this project is over I'll focus back on the Beast of Burden.

How did the cocktails go last night? I can't say I've *ever* had a friend come over for cocktails. It sounds so '80s-ish! LOL! You're way more high class than I am!

Your leg workout yesterday was excellent! Nice way to use that dvd!

How is DD enjoying art camp?

SandraX: I did not know I had a cavity not until the PAIN came and it doesn’t take long before infection set in, in my case 3 to 4 days. Since the infection is in my throat it has to be in my entire body, that just makes sense too me, right?

I am not feeling good at all, I can barely talk pain in tooth now traveling to my head. I had to take Tylenol, I don’t know if I will be able to work the entire day, right about now, I am floating from mr tylenol la..la..la.la..:9 :9 :p

Another issue:x( x(

This happened where I live, Friday, July 27th Lisa, she is the lady who shows the apartment suites, when they become available. Well to make long story short, some man, who was scheduled to see the 2 bedroom apartment, robbed Lisa, can you believe it, I tell you PEOPLE. He took all the keys to each and every appt and he took the master keys. Now they have to change all the locks in all three building
