Xers ~ mystical -magical MONDAY

[taprice]

Hi all,

Here is Fitness Freak's response to floor work.

Tracy - I haven't done floor work in a long time. I don't see a need for me to do it. As long as I like what I see in the mirror, then I'll just do what I'm doing. It's good to add in every once in a while, though. Variety is the key. Lift heavy, eat well. That's my motto.

Sandra - Glad to see you are around. Is it Thanksgiving in Canada? Your workouts sound great. I didn't buy the Timesavers. Looks like they are formatted similar to CTX?

What was I thinking I don't even have Imax 2 on DVD, I have it on Vhs. I was thinking since Ted has a DVD copier I would put all of the blasts from Imax 2 and 3 one DVD for one kick a$$ workout.

Sandra: Oh my goodness, sound yummy, I bet dinner was delicious you guys were cooking up a storm: )To answer your question duh..um..huh lol:+ we’re talking about it. He’s been like a different person, the person I knew and fell in love with we're going to take it one day at a time thus far it has been peaches and cream

Wendy -- Hey, here's a hat trick for you on a Monday ;-) As for the soccer, I watched, but having 2 in soccer means I'm ALWAYS kicking the ball around during games/practices/etc. I was trying to teach Anna how to dribble with BOTH feet this weekend so I ended up playing, too ;-) I hear ya about paying out of pocket. What a major PAIN!! I like the idea of getting pre-certified Sounds like it'll avoid a lot of financial stress. Just remember to BREATHE and FROG (Fully Rely On God). It really does help! Good luck this afternoon with the appointment!

Forgot, until I went to the post office! Happy Columbus Day!!!!! (Please ignore if you happen to consider Columbus pure evil.)

Hey Sandra! I'm wondering if you'll make me drop and give you a set of 20 pushups if I happen to sub Cathe's new workouts this round.;-)

Traci-X: How wonderful! It's so nice to see a woman taking a proactive choice about caring for their body before pregnancy. I'm sure you will do a great job helping her!!!

Carol: I can't wait to add an X to your name! Your inner thighs must be BUILT with all the soccer kicking practice!!!! In highschool, my gf and I would kick the soccer ball around the neighborhood in a sad attempt to firm up our inner thighs. Too bad we had a layer of fat that covered our muscular inner thighs. However, I'm sure that fat is NOTHING compared to what's there now! LOL

Carol, Traci, and Sandra: Thanks for the hugs and concern. Phil was soooo sweet. He went with us to the dentist appointment and took care of everything. The dentist doesn't have a problem waiting for the insurance coverage. The uptight gestapo receptionists did. They couldn't believe they had to do more paperwork! Poor ladies have to fill in the blanks on the computer form, print a piece of paper, fax it to the insurance company and file a couple of papers before Nov. 5th. I hope that's the worse thing that happens to them today. sigh.

Dd's gums are a bit sore from the cleaning and fluoride treatment. The hygienist has to get between the gumline and her outgrown bondings without chipping the bonding. I don't envy her! She has to wait until 7 before she can eat dinner. Phil let dd chose where to eat tonight. He wants to take us out since I was a mess today and dd was so good at her appointment. Of course, dd chose Fridays. I guess my clean eating will have to wait another day.;-)

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!

Wendy

CTX Kickbox (much to my dismay)

I am really feeling tired today and did not want to workout but I did anyway. It helps distract me and feel better in the end.

Sad news- My DG passed away last night. It was such a hard week and we were so glad she finally went to be with the Lord. My Aunt Lucy said a prayer for her and she took a deep breath and opened her eyes real quick then she was gone. It was so special for my aunt and I and my MIL to be there. My FIL had just stepped out to shower when she went, so he was her only child missing at the time. Thank you for all the prayers, I know they worked.

Traci-X, I'm so happy that your ads are working already. Are you all set for your big trip to CA? Your 12# weight secret is safe with us

TracyX, It sounds like you, Debra and I are in the same boat today. I decided on CTX Kickbox because I didn't get any bicep work in last week. Sorry you are not snoozing good at night Tonight is your last class What will you do with your Monday nights now?

DebraX, Glad to hear your DD took the talk well. I am sure she is so used to XDH being gone that it wasn't as tough as it could have been. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}

LaurieXX, Sounds like your having a little tryst with Tony Glad your enjoying it.

Carol, Sounds like a good mix of cardio. DM is a good one

Anointed, What a nice sister you are I am sure your sister is happy to have you help. Ted can cook too? You are really going to have to start renting him out to your Xer buddies I think blast mania is the blasts 2x

LeaX, I'm surprised your kids aren't off of school today. Mine are home for Columbus Day. I thought all schools were off. Happy Birthday to DS!!

WendyX, So sorry you're having troubles with the dentist I noticed this morning that my DS front tooth is turning gray x( I am not looking forward to even more dentist trips. {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} PMS may not be the best time to deal with insurance companiesx( Phil is a smart boy!

Cheryl, You are just a traveling woman aren't you? Are you enjoying it or is it tough?

SandraX, Happy Thanksgiving! All the food sounds yummy:9 Great workout! Enjoy the rest of the holiday

Off to spend a bit more time with the family,

Nicole

Wow! What happened to my day?? I have had time to hop on a couple a times and read posts...but no time to answer until now! DD had a little breakdown at school today...she and her bff got into a little tiff and I think it just threw her over the edge....but by the time I picked her up she was over it! Anyway...she had a few more questions for me this afternoon...I think she just needs to know that I am going to be where and when I say I am going to be...Her dad has been gone for so long, I think she just can't count on him right now...and just needs to know I am still the stable one in her life. She was in a good mood tonight and went to dance as planned....so I just want to keep her life as normal as possible for the next little bit so she can count on that. Thanks so much for all the hugs you guys have sent to our little family...we can use all we can get right now.

I did end up doing Squeeze today...Tracey always gets me with that shoulder work! I also had a tougher time with the legs today than usual...My hammies were still tight from the other day, though. I really enjoy the Squeeze dvd...I wish it worked into my regular rotations better. I really want to work up to doing the shoulder work without having to take any breaks! Not sure yet what I am doing for a workout tomorrow...Like this recovery stuff...can do what I feel like! Well...sort of...LOL! My back is feeling better...still a bit stiff, but I think I will live.

personals.....

Traci...Hope you have a wonderful time on vacation...Are you going to be online while you are gone? We are going to miss you if we don't get to see your shining face at least a couple of times while you are gone. Glad your shoulder is feeling better...be sure not to push it too soon!

Laurie...I still pull out Kenpo every couple of weeks....music and cues only though! Glad DD had a good weekend.

Carol...Sounds like you had a busy weekend with some tough workouts!

Teddygirl...Hope everything goes well with your sis tonight...Send Ted down here to cook for me. I need a new man...especially one who cooks! I still use the same pillows from when I was 4 years old.

Lea...Su*^s to get older doesn't it? Just don't bounce back like we used to. Happy bday to DS! Hope he had a great day.

Wendy...Your poor baby....Sorry she has to go through such a tough time with her teeth....and that you have to go through such a tough time with the receptionists! I can't believe you didn't just jump through the phone and give them one of those kickboxing moves! Glad Phil was around to help out. XDH and I talked to DD with him on the speaker phone..although I did most of the talking...He really didn't say all that much. I should have just told her a couple of months ago by myself...It probably would have been easier for her. I had cotton candy and gyros and steak and cheeses this weekend! Plus I went to the Melting Pot on Saturday night...Do you see the fat loading onto my hips??? Glad you mentioned Columbus day...I was wondering why I didn't get any mail!

Cheryl...Waving as you fly by...literally!

Tracy...Sounds like you had a nice day yesterday...How far away is your property? Is is in the mountains? I am thinking of taking DD out of town this weekend...but not sure where yet...She is out of school on Monday, so we have plenty of time. You wouldn't like my mattress...it's too soft for you...I should have sent you the one I just got rid of...it was like a brick.

Sandra...Your Thanksgiving sounded yummy! Already looking forward to Thanksgiving here. DD is going to be in the local parade...What a hoot! Gotta get that yoga in woman....I wish I had as much time as Tracy to fit in more...but I can really tell a difference by doing it at least a couple of days a week. Do you have any projects with school going on this fall?

Nicole...{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} to you and your family....So sorry to hear about your GM. It sounds like an easy and faithful passing...and I think that is all any of us can ask for. How are your DS's taking it? I hope they are okay. Take care of yourself and your family.

Okay...think that wraps it up for me tonight...Kisses to everyone who is missing...Amy, Swifty, Jeanette...hope you guys are okay!

Debra

Good evening,
Won't post a lot now, just got done reading the weekend's posts. I had a nice time from Friday evening thru last night keeping watch on Grandma. It really was nice and nice that my folks could get away for a few days and enjoy themselves.

No workout for me today. Saturday morning was Christi Taylor's Solid Gold Step, Sunday was the group bike ride and no workout today. DH and I and another couple went out to the woods with our Rhino and quads and had a great time riding and eating baked chicken, chips, potato salad and rice krispie treats (with butterscotch chips).

When we got home, found out that our grandson had gotten the end of his finger pinched off by the rope in a horse accident and was up at the hospital. DH and I went up there and waited with DD until the surgeon finally arrived. They will make a flap of some kind and pull it up over the bone on the end. DD had saved the end of the finger, but it wasn't any good and no blood supply (so the surgeon said). We are waiting for a call from DD to tell us that all is well. Am sure GS will be fine.

Nicole, big hugs to you on the passing of your grandmother. So glad you could be there to the end. Hoping God's peace is with you tonite.

Will check in in the morning. Back on track tomorrow.

Jeanette
