Xers...........Monday Magic!!!!!!!!

- Start date
Annointed - Sounds like Ted is just about a wiz at everything! Did he clean the carpet to your satisfaction?
Hi again,
Sunday is usually my 'hard' day, (especially since I'm taking 2 days a week off, I don't count yoga as a workout, but it really is
), so in an attempt to get upper and cardio in I did C&W and then after each weight segment put in a set of pull ups and 2 cycles of Boot Camp. At the end I did 10/9/7/6 unassisted chin ups and in the middle still just 5 unassisted close grip pull ups. I may have been able to do some unassisted wide grip pull ups, but I wasn't even thinking about it when I did the first set. I used only minimal assistance. I lifted to failure with C&W, and then went light with the BC upper exercises. It was an interesting workout. I did Stretch Max 2 this morning and that will be it for me today. I have class after work and then I'm going to Costco after that. I decided just to get everything overwith tonight. I probably won't get home until 8 or after.
Traci - Is Wendell handy at fixing stuff? It is always so expensive around here to have service people come to the house. How is the arm feeling? What are you doing about the pain meds? I am still in running shoe limbo. For the irst time, I ordered shoes that didn't fit and had to return them. I realized that I pronate more than I thought.
Cheryl - Glad your trip to Olive Garden was great! Last time we went there the food was terrible and we haven't been back since.
Nicole - My DH is the one who is always late. I have to start warning him in advance and then he can be on time.
Wendy - Careful doing those pull/chin ups everyday. You don't want to get an overuse injury! Hope you feel better soon.
Jeanette - I never would have pictured you with pink golf clubs. That seems so girlie. Glad you are enjoying the golf. You can be really old and still golf. Juniper wood huh? We don't have that here. The wood of choice here is usually oak, but less available are hickory and elm. They are like the juniper, hard to cut and split.
Debra - No nap yesterday? Did you survive? Sounds like DD has had no trouble making friends.

*Week 3 Day 2 :Lower Body Focus * ~ Floor Day! ;-( Firm It Up/GS/L&G)
Have to zip outta here early today to run errands & rehab which are all out of the area… Coming back home doing my work out and running the vacuum then have a client at 5pm
*Washing Machine Update * ~ Theres a latch that broke off that activates the actual drain cycle… so washer filled up to extra large – then died! I had to wring out blankets and run them outside which meant having to mop the floor because of all the dripping water and then bail 7 buckets of water out of the washer tub! Took me a long time and many cuss words to accomplish. GOOD NEWS is that the repair guy comes Wednesday morning and HOPEFULLY since I told them what the part was that broke he will be able to fix on the spot. Bad timing if he cant tho as I always wear the same 7-8 outfits so I’ll have to pay to have them laundered before CA trip… Fingers crossed because I don’t think I’ve seen a Laundromat (do it yourself) in 10 years in Houston!

Good Morning Xers!
Well, this morning I got back on the workout wagon and kicked it off with the Cardio Blast premix of BM2. I ended up skipping the "blast" portion, though, b/c during the bonus cardio section, doing the "insole to the back" move, as I was twisting around to my step, I did something (probably pulled) my IT Band. It gets twingy doing some step moves, anyway, so I finished the bonus cardio section, skipped the blasts, and stretched. I didn't want to chance it turning into a real injury.
Anyway, I gotta jet and get the kids going on schoolwork since I have to go back to the orthodontist with DS today (in Philly, an hour each way). I hope you all have a great Monday and I'll BBL to catch up on personals

Rotation:MIS/week 4
Pm: legs & glutes + KM (leg drills)
Yesterday, we had a wonderful time at church, afterwards ate turkey, dressing, green beans and mac. Our Pastor did all the cooking for all the mothers at our church
After we finished eating, my sister wanted me to go with her to Richmond Mall, she wanted to get her eye lashes on, they are gorgeous but costly we ate again, and did a little shopoing, I only brought a top that I was eye balling last time we went. I figure I get it since it went on sale. Then on to Old Navy I spent my gift card finally and brought my GS an outfit for his BD he’s BD is Wednesday his daddy is giving him a BD party this Saturday, more CAKE EEK!!!
Tracey: Howdy, Ted likes to think he’s a wiz at everything but he’s NOT. He also cleans carpet; Krisp & Clean is the name of his business, I use to help him. He is cleaning my carpet this morning; yesterday we were to busy.
No workout this morning, I got up at 5:45 to late to start anything need to unwind a bit before starting a work out, I just hopped back into bed.
I have a confession I did NOT work upper body at ALL last week, now that's not good x( but my muscles look good, looks like they have more definition, maybe it has everything to do with me resting them, who knows, But, I'm back on track this week. Well that was my weekend pretty nice and very pleasant I must admit I will check back.

Hi, everyone!
Did a long cardio session this morning - Power Mix??? Anyway, one of the really old Cathe classics for 45 min (skipped cooldown) followed by 45 min. on the TM. Just right! Leaving for flight to Boston in an hour - Tuesday in Boston, Wed. in NY, then home. So it's Slim Series from the computer DVD drive for the next couple of days x(
Traci, yes, we had a wonderful Sunday night dinner. Brothers and Sisters is a lot like our house on Sundays. Love that show! Glad your washing machine is getting back under control. Enjoy your lower body week!
Tracy, sounds like you had a great weekend - Sorry your last Olive Garden experience was a bad one - that'll ruin it for you.
Teddygirl, you don't need to do UB every week! The rest will probably do you good!
Well, off to the showers. Have a great morning, everyone!
Cheryl

Holy cow, you gals are up early. I don't know if I am working out today or not. If so, I might start the X rotation, since that is the only rotation that keeps me working out. We will see.
I hope that everyone had a fantastic weekend. I will BBL with personals, hopefully.'

Good morning,
Today was Slim Series Tear It Up for 60 minutes (it goes longer, but I skipped to the abs and stretch). Will do 9 holes of golf this afternoon if the weather is not rainy.
Yesterday, I helped DH and we got 1/2 a load of mahogany wood. It is really hard, but burns hot and long. Took a long time to just find some out there, then took forever to get it cut. However, it'll be worth it this winter. Didn't get a bike ride in when we got home. I figured I got a pretty good leg workout in as we were cutting on a hillside in the rocks so I had to pack all the wood up and down the hill.
Debra, no bike ride for me. I really don't like my DH to go by himself at all as it would be easy to get hurt or cut. Saturday, there were lots of others helping and getting wood too so I didn't feel too bad about not going. The pink clubs aren't too bad, it's the bag that is screaming pink!!!
Nicole, sorry about the Chargers. Oh well, hopefully they will do better next time. No, that's 2 weekends now that I didn't get my group bike ride in. Next weekend I have to keep an eye on my grandma, but will try to get away for the group ride for a couple of hours.
Tracy, yeah, pink is pretty girlie, but it was a good set for starting out. We would love to have oak wood, but not much in this area. The mahogany we got is really, really good, though time consuming to cut. Hope Costco isn't too crowded. I really dislike those long days, and all the errands right after work.
Traci, think I will do Firm It Up on Wednesday as I didn't get it in last week. That one really makes me burn! Hope the washing machine gets fixed with no unseen problem. My dryer makes a terrible noise. I really need to get DH on fixing that. I dislike the chainsaw too and worry while DH cuts. It's the limbing that scares me more than bucking up the wood. Knock on wood, he's pretty careful and has never been cut in all his years.
Carol, good to see you on here. Hope the IT band isn't injured. I'm modifying for a tennis elbow problem. Hope you have a good day today, know you are busy.
Anointed, your weekend does sound wonderful! Must be nice having the carpet all clean too. Hope you have a good day at work today. Glad you could pick up the top.
Must run and get ready for work.

Morning Xers,
Rotation: LGI8
Workout: Week4/Day5/ Shape Transforming Circuit / Yoga Zone Flexibility & Stress Relief
I officially have to much to do on the weekends. }( I was Taxi Mom on Saturday. I don't know how many times I had to pick my oldest DD up from church on Saturday. Social life of a HS student. On Sunday oldest DD and I went shopping after church. We found her a dress for her confirmation (which is at the end of this month), and some really cute shoes. Oh yes the oldest has a thing for shoes. Tried getting some pictures taken, but our re-chargable batteries for the camera are dead. So I need to get some new ones. But see I was trying.
On Friday I only did the BBC Butt & Leg workout. The girls and I went to see a chick flick. We saw the movie Sydney White, which is a modern day version of Snow White. It is a good movie, and I think that Amanda Bynes is a girl that has her head screwed on straight. She is not Paris or Britney. And the movie was funny, and of course the theater was full of young girls.
Jeanette, Glad you got the rotation information. That is about the only time I spent on the computer this weekend.
Tracy, That was some workout you had. I think that doing a stretch workout today was probably a good thing.
TG, If you see improvement in the upper body then the rest was probably a good thing. I noticed that my arms are looking good also. And I have not been as prudent at getting my workouts in. But I can lift heavy, and perform those push-ups on my toes.
Traci, Dang on the washing machine. Hope the repair man can fix the thing. I can understand the hesitation in wanting to venture out to get the clothes washed.
Cheryl, Sounds like you got in a great workout before you have to hit the road.
Carol, Hope that you do not end up on the IL. Too many of us have been on that thing. x(
Wendy, Hope you are feeling better. My DH has that cold also, but I'm thinking this is the same cold that I had in Aug, so I'm hoping I don't get the dang thing.
Amy, Have a good sleep. I remember us wishing you this the last time, and you had a great rest.
BBL,
Laurie

Week 2/ Day 8/ C&B/ Round 2
Good Morning Ladies!
Thanks for all the well wishes! Darn Phillip!!! But, he's been good about babying me on his first day off in weeks. Yes, I'm spoiled and I don't care!
I wasn't able to stay long enough to post personals yesterday between cleaning and laundry and ordering books. I was able to read everyone's posts! Nicole, you are too funny!!!
Still feeling congested and tight. Managed to push play yesterday. Didn't put 100% effort in Kenpo. Did what I could. It felt like going through the motions. I shouldn't have bothered. Didn't get around to doing any yoga. Planning on putting my game face on later today.
Well ladies, I've gotta a lot to do before we leave for music lessons.
Talk later!
Wendy

Hi Guys- Quick update on Rehab...
Got a good stretch for the pec muscles to do that amazes me how tight they are...
Yoga is OK but NO "dogs" of any sort for at least 2 more weeks....
Got 3 new ways to try sleeping as that appears to be the main culprit right now.... If I sleep longer than 3 or 4 hours (like last night) i wake up in pain because thats my sleep side....
Also need to ice for 30 minutes just before going to sleep to help with morning pain.
Thats all I know- gotta get my workout done and get ready for tonights client... Talk to you all in the AM! :* Thansk for all the continued healing vibes...

CTX Power Circuit
I am doing the CTX series this week just to mix it up. My back is tweaked again so I have to go to the chiro to get it fixed, again. My DH is home today but is on a bike ride currently which is why I'm posting now.
TracyX, Glad you started us off today! You are a busy woman. Yesterday's workout sounded so tough! I'm sure it felt good when you were all done}( Only two more weeks of this Monday Madness! Yeah! I am always on time but Sundays I lag a bit because it's my off day of sorts My DH should be happy he got me and not another member of my family because they are all perpetually late.
Traci-X, What a drag with that darned washer x( Oh, the things we take for granted, like a working washer. Which client do you have this evening? Is it the paying kind or the free one? I hope the paying
AmyX, Have a good snooze How is the gradual solid eating going?
Carol, Glad you could check-in. Did you see Wendy started the X without you? You can still catch up Have fun driving to Philly and back, might as well be the moon
Anointed, It sounds like you had a nice weekend! What a nice pastor to cook dinner for all you moms and it's not even Mother's Day. Whata nice GM to use your gift card to buy your GS a b-day present You know Traci's saying the same thing about her lack of upper body work. Maybe I'll have to give mine a rest for a week
Cheryl, Waving to you as you fly by, literally! Have fun
LeaX, Might as well start an X rotation, everyone else is I am waiting until after the new DVD's come to start the X.
JeanetteX, What a nice wife to help DH so much I'm sure he appreciates it a bunch. Definitely a good workout so no worries on missing the bike ride. The weather will be changing though so get it in while you can. GM will be busy reading her steamy novels so you should be able to break away for a group ride Enjoy golfing today.
LaurieXX, I see your DD has confirmation, which denomination are you? My boys will go through that in a few years and we have such a great pastor that I'm looking forward to it. I actually was just confirmed in the Lutheran church because I was raised Baptist my whole life. I really enjoy the church we go to now. I get to watch so little tv that I haven't even seen a preview for Sydney White. It sounds cute
WendyX, So glad you have Phil to baby you Are you using your Neti Pot? I used mine during my whole cold and felt better much faster than usual. Enjoy the pampering while it lasts. I was unlucky in that DH and I got sick at the same time No pampering for me}(
Hi to the rest of the group,
Nicole
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Hi! So much to do. I just got back with shoe shopping- ended up buying brown/aqua dress#2, shoes, bag, etc. Brown Dress#1 was too dressy (gold shoes were the appropriate color to go with dress#1 -not my style) Argh! No wonder I don’t dress up and go out. It’s not only time consuming but expensive!!

Onward with personals-
Tracix, mighty glad you are getting some help and a chance for restful sleeping. I’ve wondered how much shut eye you get. Seems you are always awake (due to your post times). When would your perfect night sleep start and end? Post injury, I’m using a pillow under right knee; it keeps me on my back as, I’m a side sleeper. Best of luck with your client tonight.
Tracyx, sorry you couldn’t find the pump when you most wanted it. Darn! Did you try a new balance shoe that you did not care for? I’m still thinking of buying running shoes. Jumping out of the house to hit the pavement would be so easy. Easier than driving to the trail. BTW I’m using the arnica gel. Wowza! Good stuff. Have a good evening.
Wendyx, you lucky lady on Phil playing the nurse and taking care of you! I see you explain where you have been while MIA. I just pop in and trust all can tell I care (I truly do) by reading their posts without saying so. Oh netti pot…… where are you? Ask Phil he probably knows. That’s okay kenpo was a motion wo. Little motion is better than no motion. Have fun with C&B later. Where’s ARX? I know it’s your fave. Not!
Cherylx, you have got the life of a real business woman. How do you do it? Have fun in Boston. See you on return.
Lauriexx, The yoga zone flex & stress relief should be in my DVD library. WTG on your own gun show, flex em baby! I’ve never heard of Sydney White, so it’s like Sydney instead of snow huh? Very cute. It’s nice you and the girls take time to enjoy life and go to the movies. Go get batteries, we need pics. Your go go life is a glimpse of what mine could be in 7 more years when DD is older.
Jeanettex, a BIG ^^^^5^^^ to you girl on the wood chopping. That’s a tough wo for sure. Nothing beats a fire in the cold days of winter. Do you help stack it also? The process of wood chopping I’m very familiar with. Last year DH and I stopped chopping after 6 yrs. Due to lack of time, also having to borrow a truck and trailer. Do you use ear protection when the saw is running? DH sawed a log covered in fire ants and got bit badly one year. Thankfully I was no where around that tree! Oh, nature is a wonderful thing. Love the news on your clubs. You have fun!
TGx, LOL on your trusting Ted with your carpets but not the hair. Totally understand. You are getting to be one strong woman. You and Laurie are ready for the showdown. Flex those bi’s girl!
Amyx, nice going on the diet. Love every minute of your rest and solid food. I know you will.
Leax, thinking about Round 2 with the x huh? You can bring it! I’m feeling the burn. Today was supposed to be YogaX, opted for 45 min with Shiva Rae instead. Back to L&G tomorrow. Join in the fun!
Hello to all I missed, I know I had to miss someone. Sorry. It’s time to start dinner. Something with shrimp and pasta tonight.

Hi to all...finally able to fly by today to say hello. it's been a bit of a crazy day for me...busy with errands, then serious talk with my mom, then emotional talk with XDH, in between running DD around. I am pretty spent right now. I did a little cardio...part of RS...but I couldn't get into it and was feeling pretty tired, so I ended up quitting...which I NEVER do once I start working out! Luckily I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow. At least I have that to look forward to...The countdown is on for XDH's trip...he will be here in 6 days. That is obviously adding to my stress level. Anyhoo....enough about me and my problems!
I am starting a new rotation later this week...I will do SH chest and back tomorrow then yoga and cardio on Wednesday...then my new rotation will begin. Looks like this...
day 1 legs + shoulders
day 2 cardio + bis
day 3 yoga + tris
day 4 cardio + back
day 5 yoga
day 6 cardio + chest
day 7 rest
Gotta make personals quick....
Swifty...You must be feeling better from your accident! Glad you got the dress you needed for your outing. I don't like buying dressy stuff either...much rather buy jeans. Or workout clothes. Or shoes.
Tracy...You are probably heading home from Costco about right now. What a super hard workout you had yesterday! I am always amazed at your strength.
Traci...Sorry to hear about your sick washer! Sounds like you have a busy day. I am sure you are having a great time with your client tonight. Good that your MIL is able to baby sit. Good you are working with the PT...It sounds like he/she is giving you some helpful advice.
Teddygirl...Glad you had a good weekend...lunch yesterday sounded great! It sounds like your lunch today was even better, though! I am sure the upper body recovery week did you good.
Cheryl...Hope you have a fabulous time in Boston. It is my favorite city in America! You probably won't have time for much...but try to enjoy it.
Jeanette...Sounds like you got plenty of a workout in yesterday without the ride. Your DH works you too hard...LOL! Hope you got your golf game in this afternoon.
Laurie....Oh, the life of the parents of teenagers...Always here there and everywhere!
Wendy...Hope you are feeling better!
Nicole...Sorry your back is acting up...mine isn't feeling too great right now...but I have that massage in the morning, so I am sure she will get me good. I like CTX...just a good all around series, I think.
Waving to Lea, Amy and Carol as they fly by! Look for Sandra while you are out!
Okay...think I am done with personals for now...See you guys tomorrow.
