*SJP #4 Mix (Step-HiLo-Wts Circuit)

Today is kind of a “free” day as I was planning on being at bay …. Haven’t used my step for anything other than a weight bench in a long time!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

LOL- JeanetteX: I SEE you heading to bed as I am getting up! LOLOL You'd think we lived in separate countries!

Thanks for all the prayers & hugs for Sandy gang... She's doing better this morning (we stayed at home) its just so much easier for her to stay off of her legs if Wendell & boys are gone... All the testosterone makes her a bit crazy! Mom, on the other hand LOVES to nap when its just the girls!

~~~SandraX & Amy:
Missed you both yesterday… Hope all is well and that you both have a great weekend!

~~~ TracyX
COUNTING DOWN THE WORK DAYS! Woohoo!!!!!! How many calories on The Monster last night? Better question… How many cashews?


~~~JeanetteX:
LOL on 3-knee repeaters! Tell Christy that on “bad balance” days I can hardly handle a “boring” one! Yesterday doing Absolute KickBox (spreen) I was again reminded that balance on any given day is a cra*-shoot! I was all over the place indeed! I finally just cancelled our NetFlix last month…. There were 3 months where the movies just sat… DH hasn’t even noticed. I think we’ll switch to Blockbuster at Home next winter. I could have written your post about age/food…. My mind goes from the extreme of “I’m 44- why cant I” to “You’re 44- better not!” LOLOLOL Hope the Reno trip is successful today! Whatever tile you pick will be beautiful I’m sure of it! I meet with a friend of mine who does marketing for small business’s next week. I already have my Logo- Business cards and WWW address but I need her help in wording of things for my intro packets which also need various questionnaires and for my www. I am also meeting with the owner of my old Spin studio to see if I can contract out some space for training…. The gyms in my area will not allow me to come in and split a fee…. So it looks like its In Home Private Training for most part… My AFPA marketing books tell me that’s a huge business…. We shall see!

~~~LaurieX:
How often do you do Absolute KB? It was so tough! The core work in this one is AMAZING! What pound body bar do you use for combat drills? I kept hitting myself on the inner legs with that one drill – LOL Maybe its just that my thighs are sooooo big! Hahahaahah Hope you had a great time w/ friends at the Fish Market! Sounds FABULOUS!!! I so miss those places… Texas isn’t known for their fish unless its Paula Deen Style! I’m a purest with my food…. Hard to do in a southern restaurant. So did you take 3 days off next week to get the beading done? Do your hands ever cramp up? I caught 2 repeats of Top Chef yesterday as I was sitting quietly so Sandy would sit still…. It seems that even the challenges are exact format of FN Next Star… The guest judges etc… its all identical…. I wonder if its same creative team and just did a spin off for Bravo? TOO similar to avoid lawsuits I’d imagine. I Love Hells Kitchen too…. DH gets all stressed out when he watches it – I LOL because he can watch COPS all night (no way can I watch that at all!) but “Chef” stresses him out!

~~~Wendy:
WOW on your workouts! I have to chuckle girl- your version of the X looks so much like mine did…. LOTS of double days in phase 3! I was waaaaay bad! So happy you are starting the recovery process (illness)…. Those chest things can take weeks to fully go away. GOOD PLAN on using Eoin in recovery week! I cant wait for you to become a pretzel like TracyX! She’s starting to really influence me…What can I say about DS… OF COURSE he’s BRILLIANT! Look who taught him! Be careful woamna…. Those recruiters are no different than top notch sales people… They see the “I’m just looking” crowd as a personal mission. When I taught salespeople I always told them that the “Just looking for Info” people were their easiest sales! It was TRUE!!! BTW- I cant figure out what week you’re in…. How can I send you that new Corvette for graduation if I don’t know when you graduate?


~~~Cheryl:
LOL on PH or Rest day! You are a wonder woman! Still doing long runs every Saturday morning? Congrats on new CW arrival soon!!!!

~~~Nicole:
Ready to kick some Kenpo Booty today??????? 2 days to Nicole X- CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!!!! WooHoo & ^^^^^^^5…. Go Nic Go… Go Nic Go!!!!! I LOVE tanning/ sun worshiping too… I do see a dermatologist these days to check out things from the early years that are popping up and I no longer bake in Oil for 6 hours a day but…… I gotta have my tan. (((((( ))))))) On the rattlesnake story… OMG THAT’S why I love animals… they never once think of themselves first…. That’s a wonderful story of unconditional love!


~~~~Swifty & DebraX
Hope today is productive and perfect for both of you!

Great Day to All!
 
LOL It's Saturday ALREADY! I'm up very late and, Traci, you are up waaaay early!

YogaX felt good to be DONE! ;-) No, I couldn't manage the entire 90 minutes! ADD started kicking in. Okay, fine, it was laziness!!!!

Phil worked overtime. Came home and started on replacing the sewer lateral pipe as soon as I apologized for being so impaitent. I had to apologize a couple more times for accidentally flushing the toilet while he was in the middle of repairs. I can't help it if all my post potty training years taught me to flush. I even repeated, "Don't flush the toilet," over and over in my head while I'm flushing the toilet. How's that for serious ADD!!!:7 I swear he's a saint!!! Poor guy finished about an hour ago. I can not begin to imagine how much it would have cost if we abided the law and hired a licensed plumber! At least $1,500 maybe more?

Traci-X: Have fun using your step as a step! :) I'm on my last week of Phase three before my recovery week. Remember I did weeks 9 and 11 back to back before I realized my mistake! So I ended up doing weeks 10 and 12 back to back instead of extending the Phase 3 another week. If there's no magic I can blame my ADD and not my eating. }( I can see the beauty of Phase 3 if done correctly. The DOMS are not as severe this week as they were last week. I could be wrong. I'll find out the next round with Phil. Thanks for the cautionary advice for ds. I like that his recruiter gave him the same advice as my best friend from high school (don't consider the bonuses, consider the job you want and only consider jobs that will translate into civilian life like medical and computer fields). Another friend of the family is a high ranking officier in the Army will be calling him tomorrow with more do's and don'ts. However, I really think ds is excited to join the reserves. I haven't seen him this excited in a long time. We'll have to wait and see the jobs available for his qualifications and location. Anyhoo.... speaking of my offspring... did you read about the lady possibly scoping out my DNA? LOL I literally broke out into a sweat and started walking to the door when she started telling me the process for someone donating eggs.:7

Well, I'm going to sleep in today. Wake up and do my favorite and least favorite: L&B and ARX. I'll continue personals when I can say DONE! :)

Good Morning to all who follow. Sandra-X, how are you? How's the cake baking and frosting going?

Sweet Dreams!
Wendy
Edited to fix my week # mistake. It's too late or early. ;-)
 
Wendy~~~~~ OMG girl... You are just hours away from being an X!!!!! Way to go!!!! I DID read about the Egg Stalker- just totally forget to write! I have ADD too you see! FIRST I think its the highest form of compliment! SECOND I thinks its CREEPY! ROFL!!!!! I can see ME asking you to do that since we're buds ya know;-) but a stranger???? No, I think thats a little too close for my comfort! I do believe you'd be a surrogate for a bestest friend tho... You seem like that kind of a giving person.... In my younger days I would have considered that except I wouldnt want to have lost my girlish figure back in my child bearing years... See... I'm too selfish. NOW at 44 I'd do it tho! LOL GREAT EXCUSE TO EAT!
Hope you treat Phil VERY kindly this weekend}( for all your flushing antics! Once Wendell was in shower and I was using potty in same BR... **AS** I WAS FLUSHING I asked... "Wanna see if it effects the water temp in your shower?" ROFL
I am ready to workout now (245am) and 3 cups of coffee in me... You head nitey night and tell Phil I said he is Mr WONDERFUL!
Enjoy L&B for FINAL TIME!!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!:7
 
Good morning!!!

Yesterday was a lovely day of sleep. It felt great to be able to sleep, I actually went to bed around 2a when I usually try to stay up until 5a.

Traci- Sorry that the bay isn't going to happen the way you planned. I hope that Sandy feels better! I think that also may be why this week was a kitty week....building muscle, well, that and it's TTOM. I felt like I could sleep almost all day, every day!

Wendy- LOL about the creepy Egg stalker! I would have to be very desperate to walk up to a total stranger before asking a friend!

Work has been pretty busy tonight. One of my patients that I thought would be the good one decided that he wanted to code all of the sudden (stopped breathing, heart stopped, the whole 9 yards). It happened relatively early in the shift and I'm still trying to stabilize him and it's almost 4a!!! He's doing better, but not well enough that I feel comfortable going too far (except for the bathroom). My co-workers are great but I feel like I impose and they are doing my job if I go too far away.
 
Amy: So sorry about your patient... good thoughts coming your way as you get ready to head home soon....

430am and SJP is completed.... I know Amys not fond of the HiLo but man I could do #3 & #4 every day... just makes me plain old happy... Reminds me of my days as a Jazzercise Instructor...

Sandy none to happy that I have had her up since 1230am so I think she deserves an egg omelet this morning....

:D
 
Hi all,

Wow! So many people on-line already.

Yesterday I had a great run even though it was really humid. I was soaked again by the end, but ran a little farther. Then I did some yoga, of course. I'm going to a bike race with my kids this weekend, so I'll be MIA until Sunday evening.I'll take my running shoes and a yoga dvd.

Have a nice weekend.

Tracy
 
What are you crazy women doing up in the middle of the night?!?! Besides Amy, of course, who is working!! But the rest of you, get some sleep!

Wendy...I have never heard of an egg stalker before...what a bizarre incident...People always amaze me!

Jeanette....Please send your husband down here to cut trees...I have 3 or 4 in my yard that really need to go!

Traci...Go back to sleep...no human should be up doing aerobics at 3 am!

The painters finished the master bath yesterday...and did another coat in the master bedroom...They just have the tray ceiling left in there...They are coming back today and I am hoping that they will get going on the rest of the main level. There is only so much unpacking I can do until the walls are complete. I have also forgotten how laid back people are down here....just meandering around until they get to where they are going and do finally what they need to do...I am used to a little more hustle. Wait, I have to go yell at the cat for slopping water out of the dish...she loves to play in it with her paws...and she splashes it all over the place!!

Had a friend over for dinner last night..He used to be my boss years ago and we still keep in touch. Then on Sunday I think my mom and a couple friend of hers and maybe my uncle are coming over to cook out and do some early fireworks. My social life is already picking up.

Okay...gotta run for now and let the dog out for her morning run.

hugs and love to all!!

Debra

Real quick check-in before heading off to bed


Wendy- I am so very sorry, I was not ignoring you, I just forgot to answer your question about my freestyle weights. I got some ideas from another website as well as a couple of books on the subject. As to what exercise I do, I made that up myself as well as the routines.
 
DVD-7786 Progressive Power Yoga: Foundation
DVD-7841 Amplify Your Strength from Within

While ya'll slept I shopped:D

Off to garden before afternoon rain starts.... We are in for 5 days of it from the latest news!:-(
 
Phase 3/ Week 10/ Day 4/ Round 1

KenpoX

O.k. This is the pits. I was posting the wrong week. I am ending week 10 and heading into week 11. I thought I had another week of L&B left. You all were getting me excited which made me look at my book again. I am doing the workouts right just posting it wrong. Week 11 here I come:) Ready to go as soon as the boys finish their breakfast. They get to watch a show in their room or go outside if it's cool enough. DH is on a bike ride but he'll be home soon. It will be nice to have him help with the boys while I workout. Thanks all for the wonderful support you are giving. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you!:)

Traci-X, My you are a busy girl this morning! Hope you get lots of good naps and have a nice relaxing day with the "girls". Yes. I love laying out but I only do it 1 hour every other day. It gives me enough color to get by. Of course, here in CA everyone is tanner:) I guarantee you if you get your name out there and get a reputation, you will be really busy. In-home training is huge here and it's quite a money maker. My cousin's friend and I were talking about it because that's what she does. She isn't even super fit looking and she has quite a few rich clients that she just stumbled on and they pay her well. I'll be SJ&Pumping in a couple weeks:)

Tracy, Have fun! So glad you are so motivated and bring your workouts with you:) Running and yoga, what a way to start a day:p

Debra, I am so glad you have friends and family around to entertain in your beautiful home! Sounds like life is going great for you:)

SandraX, Where are you????

Wendy, Woops. sorry Phil. I was LOL when I read you flushed on him because I did the same thing to my DH last week when he was fixing a blockage in the drains:( Well, what can you do? SORRY Honey:) Hope you enjoy L&B for the last time. Take it easy on poor Phil today:):p

Amy, Sounds like quite a day at work. Have a good sleep. See you when you wake up!

Jeanette, Glad my DH isn't the only one who gets jealous of my workout time. I do all of it when he is gone except when he gets a surprise day off. It sounds like your DH and you really enjoy being together. That's so nice. How long have you two been married? I am anxious for the after kids stage when DH and I get more QT together.

Cheryl, Hope you're off work today and are relaxing a bit.

See you all later,


Nicole

Heeeellllllllllppppppppp!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sick of housecleaning, and I'm only 1/3 of the way done. x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x(

Yesterday was my rotation "rest" day, and despite my....OMGOMGOMG!!! THE GRASS IS HERE!!!!! I just looked out my window and saw strangers laying sod on my front mud pile!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm doing the Happy Dance now!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now where was I? Oh yes, my "rest" day. I meant to do Finn's Total Happiness Routine yesterday, but never found the time. I spent the whole day cleaning, with regular 10 min interruptions from children wanting something.

This morning I did Muscle Max. Yoga would be nice, but I'm skeptical it's going to happen. I'm still working my way through the cleaning. Today's "kitchen and playroom". The Toughies. Ugh. I haven't made much progress so far today. And since we're supposed to leave in 1 hour to go to a friend's house for dinner, I'm not feeling confident much will get done. But I'll go give it my best shot. 30 minutes in the playroom might make a difference.

I'm glad to see such a chatty group the last few days. Sorry I can't partake right now. What comes to mind really quick:

TraciX - I'm sorry you're missing your time at the Bay. I hope Sandy's feeling better (she's got her Mommy, what more does she need?).

TracyX - Enjoy the bike races!

Wendy, Laurie, Nicole - I can hear you thundering down the home stretch!!!!! GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!

JeanetteX - Is that camper cleaned out yet? What's next on the competition front?

Amy - Seriously. 15lbs of muscle gained, so quickly? How does that happen? What's the magic: your workouts, or the diet, or the combo? How do your workouts differ from your previous plans?

Debra - I hope you get settled soon. Do you have your workout area set up yet? That was my second thing unpacked, right after my kitchen.

Cheryl, Teddygirl, Swift Amy, Anyone Else I Missed - Hi! Have a great weekend!

Tomorrow's the last day of Cathe's Feb '07 rotation: MIC. I've been dreading it since Day One, and it's finally here. Oh well, in 70 mins, it's over.

I'm not sure what I'll do next. I'm waiting to see what Cathe posts for July.

Tomorrow's Canada Day up here. Shoot off a firework or two for us, if you don't mind. We'll do the same for you on the 4th. Is this a long weekend for you, too?

Cheers,
SandraX
 
SandraX, Glad to see your post today, Have fun cleaning and enjoy your dinner:)

Hey gals, I have a question for you. Do you think I should do a Cathe rotation for the summer or P90X lean? I am a mesomorph so I tend to build muscle easily. I thought the lean rotation might be the thing for me.

Let me know what you all think,

Nicole

Good afternoon xer’s! How is everyone? Hopefully some of you are taking a restful nap right now. Those post times Traci-X, Wendy and Amy!

Wrapped up week 10 with Kenpo this AM. It was the best ever. I felt my upper back & shoulders, & arms working hard during elbow series. Held my horse stance comfortably and can feel DOMS from L&B in the inner thigh area. Hmmmm. Never felt those before today.

We are off to the woods Sun. to camp for 4 days. We will be riding bikes for 20+ miles on two of those days. I hope to do some relaxing as well. I am taking my ARX and Stretch and Yoga for a fill in. I can watch it from the DVD player in the van. Maybe I’ll be up early before everyone else and run or bike in the AM’s.

It’s too close to ttom for me to do nothing. My body gets cranky when it doesn’t exercise. So I will jump back into the routine Thu morning. P93X for me.

Tracy-have fun at the bike race! What type of racing do they participate in? DH would like for DD to get involved someday. It’s a bit dangerous isn’t it? I know the downhill type is for sure.

Debra-best of luck with the painters. Paint is such a cool decorating tool.

Amy-checked out your picturetrail. You graduated from the Navy. How cool. You must have some great experiences. Hope your patient is doing better.

Traci-X are those numbers after the DVD- the numbering system in your library. Over 7 thousand titles? Wow! You are quite a shopper. Best to your pooch. Dogs are the greatest. We have an 8 yr. old English setter. Jack’s the best. Possibly you could pm your code so I can see you picturetrail update of pics from July. I would love to view them.

Nicole you sure are dedicated to working out! Turning on the movie for them is a great occupation for them while wo. I do this in afternoons with CardioX. Sad to say our P90X schedules will no longer be synched. I’ll be a few days behind you now. Keep on going girl!

SandraX – is cleaning done yet? I had baths and floors today. Yikes! Congrats on MM wo for you. I don’t have that one. I suppose I could get it. Happy Canada day to you. Have a great time at your friends. The cakes are goooorgeous!

Jeannette – you are so right about the bike and all the accessories to make it complete! I have most everything I need right now as I haven’t the time to ride long distances everyday. Unlike DH – spends all his allowance on parts, accessories, shoes, etc. He is in such excellent shape he kills me. You are surely in as good or better shape than he. Your biking stories make me wish I had more time and lived in a less hilly state. Why did you get out of the horse hobby?

Must be going now and get packing. Be back in a few days. Enjoy your holiday! Woohoo! Hello to everyone I missed.
:)
 
Just back to say that my picture trail is officially updated...and yes, there are 2 pictures of me...and no Wendy, I am not a man...LOL. Gotta go unpack some boxes now...I haven't unpacked one all day....went shopping with my mom and then took a nap...I have had a horrendous headache all day. See you later lovely ladies!

Hi all you crazy & busy Xers!
What a day! Did some major weeding in garden for about 2 hours this morning… Took a 1 hour nap this afternoon… woke up with a TON of energy so I cleaned carpets, mopped kitchen, dusted, vacuumed, did some laundry, & cooked next weeks foods. How productive can I be without DH & boys around?

TEDDYGIRL!!!!!!!! AKA- ANOITED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do tell!!!! Are you changing screen names for all use or is this just your home alias now? Did you get a computer???? Tell Tell Tell!

Swifty:
Hope I didn’t miss you! The code for X pics is TonysGal. There aren’t any progress pics… 60 days is pretty much my AFPA pic for comparison then I stopped the X. I never took pics for round 1 …..Have a GREAT time in woods! Look out for Poison Ivy!!! LOL on the DVD #!!!!!!!! I WISH I had that many! Tht was just the product code that I copied & pasted from my order form!

Nicole:
LOL on doing another X round already! I think EITHER is good but if you ordered Cathes 4 day split that’s due out by end of summer then I say do Lean X. You can add even more cardio is you really feel the need. I think its Legs & Back that is omitted in Lean. Thanks for sending those good thoughts about my career! I will think positive and hope that Houston has enough fitness transplants to make it work…. Natives are NOT into fitness in the my part of the South! LOL …. OMG on the week 11! I am so sorry we jumped the gun! Go Nic Go!!!!

SandraX
Happy Canada Day!!!!!! WooHoo another celebration! Since the 4th falls on Wednesday here I don’t know of anyone that gets a long holiday… just a mid week break. You sound so very busy…. Have I told ya lately that I admire all your juggling of chores, kids, workouts, advanced degree work, cake making, socializing, wife duties…. A REAL Millenium woman! LOL on MIC! Just put on your GameFace & pretend you’re Cheryl – she’s in LOVE with that one…. Better yet… Pay Cheryl to do it for you!

DebraX –
Yippeee….. Heading off to see Eva!!!! Thanks for posting!!!! Hope headache goes away soon- Is it the paint fumes?

Hugs to all!
 
DEBRA X
A post ALL FOR YOU:7 :7 :7

DD: Your little Diva is the cutest little angel!!!!!!! OMG she’s a charmer for sure! Keep her on a leash!

Polly…… Where are HER latest pics!

DH: CUTIE !!!!!!

You: OK now I’m mad…. I had you looking older…. What are you 20???????? I thought we were close in age??? NOT!!!!!!! I shall NOT be standing next to you at any beach party! You are just beautiful! A smile to die for…. I sure hope DH appreciates how absolutely lucky he is!!!

House: The vacation house is SOMETHING! Can I live there???? Was it like a B&B?

I do hope you had a fabulous time and that you and DH are doing well. What did he think of your new house BTW??????

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!!

I think your ankles are smaller than my wrists!!! LOVE the hair color!!!!! I can't get over how adorable and pretty you are! Why did you wait so long to post your picture????? With a face and body like yours, I would have been showing off BIG TIME!!!!! :7 :7 :7 I can't believe your dh can leave you for long periods of time!!! You both make the cutest couple!!!!

I'm more shocked at how pretty you are than I am that you're really a woman! Seriously thought you had something shameful to hide. Like a huge zit on your nose! LOL:7 :7 :7

Thanks so much for sharing!!!!:) :) :) :) This is better than doing L&B and ARX for the LAST time! :) :) :)

Stablic Hugs!!!!!!!;-)
