Hey, gang....I'm still knocking around here. Just finishing up my shift at work....

DH is doing fine. He's still recovering from his concussion, but so far, so good. I haven't heard any results from my 'administrative duties' of last Monday....I'm not holding my breath.

I hope you all have a great day!!!

:* :*

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope all is well in your workout worlds. I have a few chores to do this morning before BFF gets here. We don't have any major plans....just hanging out and visiting. I am sure we will take DD to do something fun.....and we have some pumpkins that we need to get carved. The weather has changed her...finally. We had lots of rain over the past couple of days which we desperately needed...and now the high today is supposed to be 61...WooHoo...Fall in the South has arrived! Keep in mind it was in the high 80's earlier this week! I am planning on doing cardio today. Probably HIS07 since I haven't tackled that one yet. I ended up doing Squeeze yesterday which I really enjoy...I always feel the burn in my shoulders during that one!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...........personals....................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.....Amy...So glad DH is feeling better and is recovering nicely. It is a shame that you haven't gotten any response yet...but I guess that is how it goes with large hospitals. How is sweet Peanut?

....Tracy....Thanks for starting us off! Any big plans for today??

.....Carol...Glad you enjoyed BC07....I really liked that one too...It is definitely intense. Sorry to hear you mom was being an a$$, but at least there was no outright arguing. Keep your fingers crossed for me today while I do HIS!

....Nicole....Thank goodness your mom didn't have to be evacuated...and keep praying for that rain! Thanks for letting us know how thing are going for you guys...We have all bee really worried. Next week is bound to be better...That's what I keep telling myself anyway!



Well....that catches me up for now...Got to everyone else last night. I am off to clean a bit and then push play...after I feed all the critters first! I'll check back if I have time before BFF gets here....if not have a great rest of your weekend!

Kisses to all!!

Debra

Hi all,

I did BC07 yesterday before KB. I think that is a good workout. I must admit though after running consistently for several months, the running around the step almost seemed stupid. The back and forth drills were OK.

I'm not sure what I'm doing today. Some sort of cardio and yoga. I need a rotation, but I was thrown off last week with being sort of sick.

Debra - Your weather seems to be mimicing ours. We have fall today too. In fact, it is cold. I'm not complaining though.

Traci - Sorry you had to come back early. DS said GF's chihauhau had an allergic reaction last night and they had to make a trip to the emergency vet.

Amy - Glad you stopped by.

Tracy

Good morning,

Rest day for me. Slept in until 7am. Probably won't be able to get to sleep tonight, but oh well. I did KickMax yesterday morning, and despite my intention to skip the LCDs, I found myself doing them along with her. My right hip was feeling stiff and I thought it might help open up the joint. In all, it was a really good workout.

Traci - well, I was sorry to see you post this morning. I love your chatter, but you are supposed to be living the high life this weekend, and not playing around with us. I'm sorry Sandy is having such difficulty managing these days. It must be extremely hard for you to see her in pain and discomfort. Did you at least get a chance to play in the new boat for a bit?

Amy - I missed the drama about DH getting a concussion!! I wish him a good recovery.

Debra - Oh, that Squeeze workout! I think I'm reluctant to do it these days because I'm focusing on muscle building. I'm under the impression it's more for muscle endurance. Is that right? Have a great time with BFF today! Have you introduced the new boy toy to your DD, or is it too soon? Are you doing the haunted trail today? Yes, we definitely do hallowe'en here! DD#1 is going to be a witch this year, and DD#2, if I can coerce her into the costume, will be a caterpillar. I think DD#1 might be at an age to enjoy the Wizard of Oz, so perhaps we'll rent it some time soon. This is DH's 2nd time through P90. He did the whole 90 days last winter, and saw some improvement. This year I challenged him to P90X when he gets through P90. So far, he's on the fence about that.

Tracy - do you run in cold weather, or will you hang up your sneakers for the season? Yes, a weekend with no plans is very unusual for us. Of course, it took me about 10 minutes yesterday morning to make some! We ended up going shopping in the morning, and DD invited a friend over for the afternoon. Today we're all going swimming at the Y, then to a friend's house for dinner. There. Weekend complete. WoOz might very well be an American thing. I also have not seen Gone With the Wind, or Mary Poppins. I only recently saw the Sound of Music for the first time, when an American friend decided it was unconscionable that my children be raised without watching Julie Andrews. So, she sent it as a baby shower gift.

Laurie - wasn't it your DD who was getting confirmed, ah, this weekend? Is that right? I didn't realize you were practicing Catholics. Congratulations to her!

Carol - I hope your visit with your mom went better than you anticipate.

SwiftAmy - You're so close to finishing Round 2!!!! I'm extremely impressed by you. I don't recall any whining or grumping about being bored, etc. You and Laurie have my utmost respect. I don't think I could bear to do another 13 weeks of those same workouts. I went to the Wilton.com website last night and decided to make the Yummy Mummy cookies. Very simple, yet kind of fun. And DD can take all of them on the bus, versus me having to drive her to school with containers full of cupcakes. I'm going to give caramel apples a try some time, they're delicious!!

Nicole - Only one more day and maybe you can start working out again. Is your back still sore at all? In years gone by we've had smoke from forest fires blanket the city for days, and I can relate to the smokiness/breathing troubles. I hope you get some clean, fresh air really soon. A good hard rain would help with that, wouldn't it? My babe in diapers is starting to sit on the potty regularly. I'm hoping she'll be out of diapers, for the most part, by the spring. We'll see.

Teddygirl - Hello there! I hope your time with the sis and GD went well yesterday.

I'm off to get us ready for the pool. Have a great day!
Sandra

Good Morning

This morning, I did an hour jog and abs, that it for me. Tomorrow I'll be starting my rotation, my life is getting back balanced bbl

The Chargers are playing the Texans in "sunny" San Diego. I hope they win and pep up this town TOUCH DOWN CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brothers and sister are all at the game. I wish I could go but it's too smoky for my taste

Tracy, How are you today? I hope you're feeling all better. It sounds like you are with the workouts on tab and done. Are you not overly thrilled with the new DVD's? I previewed them and they don't look as tough as the last one's did. Glad your nephew is taking care of your FIL. That must make it a ton easier for everyone.

Traci-X, Glad your back safe and sounds. Wish you had been able to stay longer Take a long nap and we'll talk tomorrow I feel cobwebby today too

Debra, Have fun with your BFF today! I think the boys and I are going to carve pumpkins today too. A lot of people donated their season tickets to the firefighters so my brothers are at the game for a much deserved break. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Glad your DD is feeling a bit better

Amy, Nice to hear that your DH is recovering. I guess if a nurse can't get anything done at her own hospital the general public would really be out of luck! What a jerk of a doctor. My cousin is a nurse here and she says the doctors think they are gods.

Sandra, Isn't it nice to sleep in? Hope it doesn't throw you off too much tomorrow. I wish mine were at all close to potty training but I think I have a bit before that happens

Teddygirl, I'll be right there with you tomorrow getting back on track! Let me know how it works for you

Talk to you all tomorrow,

Nicole

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Hey Guys-
Sorry not in an overly chatty/social mood today... Did want to tell ya that I did do BC 4DS Friday as planned and enjoyed it - I will in future modify segments that require the weights only because of space issues.. Fun & fast w/o....

Had to LOL at you Tracy on your running around step comment... I thought it was SUPPOSE to be a rest! :+ I did like the jumping over step thingies..much easier than it looked but couldnt do the pushups.(shoulder).
I think that Friday workout was the LAST thing that actually went as planned this weekend so I'll leave it at that.

Cant wait to go to bed tonight so I can wake up and start a fresh week.

Glad Sandra is back in action with us & taking full advantage of a FREE weekend (not!) and I see Amy is popping up every few days...Miss our Cheryl tho!!!!! SUPER EXCITED for Nicole & all the So CA folks!!! Tracy is always our constant (Thank Heavens!) and gearing up for another "put tracI to shame" week!, Lea must still be stuck in the Pumpkin Patch!!! Jeanette must be having a fabulous time doing anything & everything she can fit in on a weekend, Debra is busy finalizing her social calendar and instructing DD on how to break a few hearts!, Wendy is surely chanting positive new mantras for upcoming trip, Swift Amy is most definitely out in a very public place flexing!!!, and well our Laurie is probably trying to call Jeanette to see who can be the most active todayTeddyGirl is probably taking a nap or eating a fabulous meal made by Mr Wonderful!and finally our Miss Carol- hiding her mothers body!?!? or re-aligning her Chakras!

Hope I didnt miss any of our fabulous Xers - if I did- send me a nasty PM and tell me how long I'll be in the dog house! Love & Hugs to all - until Monday- When the world is bright and happy once again....

Round2/Phase3/Week10/Day4/B&B ARX

I'm going 15# on all weights and the pulls ups are getting easier with this routine (even the ones with towel). It feels so good. Round 2 I love being prepared for what the exercises will be. I'm learning what muscle groups are being worked by all the repitition.

Woke up early to complete the workout, then off to the zoo for 9AM. The 5 of us were among the 2 only other visitors this early. It was like the zoo was all ours!

The IL's were right on time. All had a wonderful morning. MIL talked to all the animals and took way too long trying to get them posed for the camera. ;-)

The new polar bear exhibit is awesome! Visitors can view the bears from inside a glass tunnel while the bears play and swim in above. Very cool!:7 It's sad their wild habitat is in a state of unstability.:-(

DD wore her Tinkerbell costume and grabbed up some treats from the vendors. By 1 o'clock we were tired and ready for home.

Going to go snuggle with the DH on the couch now. all for nowladies!:+

Just a quick note here,
Have had a nice weekend. The Family Fall Festival went well. Good chili and my cornbread went quick! Have been busy stacking wood today, shopping with DH and now will hop on the bike as I missed the group ride this morning due to DS and his girlfriend being here. Loved visiting with them.

Oh yeah, I did the step workouts from LIS and HIS yesterday and really, really enjoyed them both. I was able to get the 3rd combo in HIS and it's not that tough now. Is there a premix that has both step workouts in it?

Got to get out on the bike before I run out of daylight. Need some cardio badly as I ate badly (though it tasted so good) yesterday. DH and I also went out for Chinese food on Friday night so of course, up 3# on Saturday a.m. due to whatever. Didn't weigh myself this morning, but will tomorrow.

Got to run, bbl.

Hi all,
Had a good bike ride today, made 2 stops along the way to visit friends and family. Got home a bit later than I'd thought, no lights on my bike, but had my hi-vis jacket on so think I was still pretty visible.

Sandra, you have snow already? We got some showers today. Hoping for a heavy snow winter here. We need it so much. Hope the shopping and swimming time were good yesterday. I need to go clothes shopping really badly. Hoping to get that in on Friday, along with a massage and facial. You've got to see the Wizard of Oz. We used to watch it every year when we were kids. The witch scared me and those winged monkeys. When will you be starting P90X? And with your DH too? What are Yummy Mummy cookies?

Tracy, did you get the choreo down for LIS and HIS? Took me just a little bit and it's almost mastered. I wouldn't say Cathe's cueing is the best in this, but I'm getting it. Really had fun with LIS and HIS yesterday. How is DS's GF's chihuahua?

Swifty, congrats on your non-shaky legs! You work so hard and have such an enthusiasm. So happy you are on this checkin as you motivate me greatly. Glad you enjoyed the by yourself movie. I don't have any problem doing things by myself either. Bet the zoo trip was really fun, especially with less of a crowd.

Debra, your dinner on Friday night sounded very tasty. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Glad to hear that you like Bootcamp. I think I will do that one tomorrow. Looked fun when I previewed it. Hope you had fun with BFF today. My DH just finished carving a pumpking. I cleaned the seeds and roasted them already. Any more on the bunny?

Nicole, hoping that the fires are all dwindling. We still have lots of inmate firefighters down there and will for a while as they do a lot of the mopping up on the fires. What kind of rotation will you be starting? So cool about people donating their tickets to the firefighters!!!

Amy, glad your DH is recovering. Maybe I missed what your administrative duties were. How's that little Peanut doing?

Anointed, hope you had a nice time with your sister and GD. Glad you are getting some things balanced again. Go girl!

Traci, sorry that Sandy is not feeling well. Did you have a good time while you were there? I had a nice weekend, but really wanted to go for a Rhino ride with DH and the pups. DH said we needed to split and stack wood, so that's what we did this afternoon. I did get the bike ride in in the late afternoon. Need to keep up on those.

Hi to Cheryl, Carol, Wendy and anyone else that I missed.

Jeanette

Ooooph, my glutes and inner thighs are really feeling that 4DS KB workout. Those plie squats with the heavy weight are killer and I don't even have a 30lb - I used 25. Yikes!

Cathe has outdone herself yet again -

Sorry to be MIA, everyone, but I've been swamped. I have been reading all your posts, though - Personals coming tomorrow.

here's to a wonderful new week!
