Xers ------Thoughtful Thursday
- Thread starter taprice
- Start date
Hi all,
I'm off today. I did Amy's slo mo legs last night and yoga. I did personals first, so I'm out of time, but it looks pretty good. The Hi/lo looks great and I hate hi/lo.
Cheryl - I'm sure you'll get a workout in today. I don't fret anymore when I miss one. I actually could probably stay in pretty good shape and only workout 5 days a week.
Nicole - Glad you are feeling better. No I don't have a TM but I did get the eliptical which I've been saving for the winter.
TG - I am with you on htaing the upper body splits. It just doesn't fit well with my psyche. Alhough I might have to change it up here soon and do that for a week or two.
Carol - I am very close to FC. I didn't like Sculpt Sweatfest, do you?
Wendy - Hi!
Jeanette - Yes I'm saving the eliptical. I hope you enjoyed your bike ride. It's just about too cold here now.
Debra - I ordered some new yoga DVDs too. They should be here soon. A Shiva one and Sean Corne. I wished I'd remembered to add that Eion one since I was already spending $$.
Tess - We will be here for moral support. Glad you joined us!
Traci - I'm not doing the Nov rotation. Too much of the same thing.
Amy - Nice workout, glad the animals are adjusting.
Sandra - I totally agree with your comments about the leg workout. It is my favorite of the set. I did a wu before I started it the last time, so I was able to give the KB wu my all. That worked better for me.
Laurie - Glad you liked the bi & tri workout. It is a good one. I am scared to try new instructors too. Even though I don't think I'm picky, I guess I am.
Swifty - There is nothing worse than something disturbing my workout. It doesn't happen here any more, so you can have that to look forward to as the kids get older.

Happy November Xers!!!!!! I just LOVE November 1st- to me its the official kickoff day to Holidays!!! Soooooo Happy Holidays!:* Today is also the ONE YEAR anniversay of my love affair with Tony....Memories, like the colors of my mind...misty water colored memories....
I do believe I will be following November 07 to try & re-learn a little discipline before starting Tony again in a few months. I may sub out the last couple weeks of cardio with other short ones for variety and OF COURSE my Slo Mo will be here soon as will my Tracey "The Parts" but othe than THAT I'm doing it! :+
:+ Maybe if someone came over and took all my DVDs away in a box I'd do OK! - Seriously tho gals- I have NEVER once followed a Cathe rotation so I guess I cant say that hers dont work as well as Tony's. We need to test this darn it!:7
*Ramble over - starting personals...*
TRACY X
OUCH on the 2:30! what time will you crash??? Gosh I'm glad my body has let me sleep for several weeks now... Cant say I have MORE energy tho- just more cobwebs! :+ Looking forward to your in-depth report on Slo Mo- still waiting for arrival in TX!
Cheryl
Your body must have needed a rest- lots of crud starting around our area but I am swearing off listening to any & all of it! :7 Are you joining me for the November rotation? I sure wish she had used some of those premixes tho! Gonna be a TOUGH 4 weeks for me- I'll give it the old college try!
NICOLE X
A day in heaven eh? Breakfast-play-Lunch! Hope dinner was as good!!! ~ So HAPPY you went to Dr for back & things are looking up for you!!! Its feast or famine with hurdles & victories isnt it? ! The strange thing about my arm is that I havent done anything different this week vs last week when I felt I was really on the mend. Its weird and I'm mad! I decided late last night that being tender & loving with it just wasnt working- I told "The Big Guy"- YOU take care of healing it and I'm going back to my life as I knew it! - I think thats our new deal as of today... ;-)
Amy X...almost XX (Swifty)

Is it Nov ALREADY!!!! OMW! I'm going to grow old with you people!}( :7
I have to figure out how to connect using MIL's router. Her computer is soooo slow! I think she needs to clean her PC. Anyhow, I'll try and do personals today. So much to say, so much to do!:7
I couldn't work out yesterday. After homeschooling, teaching MIL how to homeschool English, spelling/phonics, and history, a trip to the library, teaching MIL how to reserve/request/transfer library books online, shopping trip to buy jeans for my slim twins, cooking, and grocery shopping, I was TIRED by 10PM!!! Since the girls are sleeping in the living room, I have to workout earlier in the day. I could do yoga in the guest bedroom using the laptop. We'll see how today goes. I really want to try the 4DS HIS.
Gotta heat up my coffee and do today's personals.

Personals Tracy-X: You must be tired too!!! I hate it when I can't fall asleep! I hope you have a stress free day!!! So, you got the new Amy Bentos. The Hi-Lo clip looked interesting. I wasn't fond of the step clips I viewed. Kinda got dizzy watching her.:7
Traci-X: ROFL Are you sure it's not tears of torture at starting a new round in a couple of months?
}( Did you get your new Amys yet? What are you saying? Are you going to try a full Cathe rotation for a whole month? Well, if you can do the X for 90++ days, what's 30 days? Nada! Correction: I am not prepared for my journey into the jungle! I still have to soak my clothes in premethrin to protect me from all sorts of nasty mosquito bites and diseases. And, I haven't even purchased underground professional hair dye yet! Can't have the paciderms riled up and jealous of my grays! LOL! Right! Phil and I have been married too long for him to whine while I'm away. However, Phil and I have been married for so long that I can bet I'll be bawling while I'm away!!!sigh Oh! The blog. It's real EASY to remember the web address. Just think: Thailand With Crazy Asian. So, it's: www.ThailandWithCrazyAsian.blogspot.com
At least, I think that's the addy. I'll have to double check later. LOL
Jeanette-X: We're not big on handing out candy either. We live in a neighborhood where everyone (teenagers) comes to get candy from other neighborhoods! It was so nice here not having to answer the door with Baby freaking out everytime someone's at the door. That dog will freak out when she hears the doorbell on the TV. And, we don't OWN a doorbell!!!!!! Crazy Dog!
Okay, I've gotta continue personals later.
Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
Happy November,
Wendy: your day sound like my yesterday WON’T GO THERE! Sure let's grow old together, wouldn't that be wonderful
Tracie: I’m in NO candy in my house I’m starting clean going to get really focus, guess what? my pants our looser today, imagine that. DrillMax was off the chain definitely adding in to weekly rotation.
Tess: Welcome you are going to enjoy P90X, I’ll be watching you. Good luck!
I woke up a little tired this morning, due to all the bu%$## yesterday when I got home. My younger son, David and his girlfriend had a lover quarrel (sp) I got home all set to hop on my TM then I hear a knock…knock boy was my son mad. Now, he wants to stay with me for a few days, DUH!! Therefore workout never happened busy talking with my son. I ended up making a pot of turkey chili all in all had a nice evening.
This morning, I did an hour jog and abs. Tonight, not sure eye balling KM or KPC feel like throwing a few punches.

Morning Xers,
Rotation: LGI8 Week7/Day1
Workout: YogaX
Tonight I need to run some errands after work. Have to pick up dog food, and go grocery shopping. So I think the YogaX will be a good thing to do after all of that.
I loved 4DS KB, my upper body is feeling it this morning. So in two weeks I will be starting a 4DS rotation. This should be fun.
Tracy, 2:30am My goodness it is a good thing that you have the day off. So how do you like Amy's Slo Mo Legs. I'm still on the fence about getting those workouts.
Traci, Happy Holidays to you too. Nov 1 must be the begining of the holidays because they have started playing Christmas music on the radio this morning. Yesterday I was just looking at the vacation time I have left. Must have been the holiday spirit in me. :7 :7 Looks like I have some for the holiday, and some I can use when I need to go shopping for the holidays. I'll have you know I was singing this morning when I read your post. I saw a You Tube clip from Tonys new Kenpo like workout. Looks pretty good. Have you checked out Tony's new hair do in this series. Don't know if I like it. I will join you on a 4DS rotation in about 2 weeks. But I will be there cheering you on as you try your first Cathe rotation.
Wendy, You are one busy lady for your pre-trip preperations. I can't wait for you to get going on this trip just so I can read your blog. When you are old along with us you need to think about a writing career.
Sandra, I see you did the KB workout also. Did you experience the same thing as I did with the upper body soreness? I can see doing this and adding on the Leg Conditioning Drills from KM to make one great workout.
Amy, So did DH hand out the candy? Love that Peanut is blending in with the rest of your cats. Baby will eventually have to come around and deal with the new addition.
Tess, Congrats on starting the X. I think that P90X is one of the best programs out there for improving your bodys strength. I was one of those that couldn't do a push-up on my toes to save my life. It gave me knowledge on how to push myself just a little harder. You will get great support from all these fine ladies. ;-)
Swifty, Loved you description of you attempt at starting a workout. At least you managed to get your wokout in.
Debra, I too had to LOL at the poo and pumpkin comment. :7 :7
Nicole, Sounds like you made some great choices yesterday, and a victory in the game is a bonus. Good news about the back.
TG, Hope you DS is able to work out the problems with his GF. So now you have company for a couple of days. I love chili, but only two of the four like it in our house. So I don't get to make it that often.
Jeanette, Are you going to join Traci in the Nov rotation. I'm bound and determined to get this LGI8 done in 10 weeks. :7 :7 :7 Otherwise I would join her.
Have a great day!
Laurie

Good morning,
Today was the entire HIS DVD, which is a step routine and chest and back workout. Feeling good now. Also got in a good bike ride after work yesterday. Next week, won't be able to do those after work bike rides any more due to the time change :-(
Trip to the conservation prison camp yesterday was a good one. The conservation camps are the one positive in the California state prison system. They house 100 inmates each (there are 18 camps in the northern system, about as many in the southern), have no walls or fences around them. We joke that these inmates are the "cream of the crap". For inmates to go to camp, they have to have no sex offenses, arson, or escapes in their history. They work in the conjunction with the California Dept. of Forestry (now called (CAL FIRE) doing a lot of the clean up work you see alongside the roads, building fences, cleaning up parks, etc. Their main mission is the inmate fire fighting on the forest fires. It's a very desirable thing for the inmates to get to go to camp as they eat much better, many more privileges, make more $ per hour, more family visits, etc. Anyway, we did a kitchen inspection of a camp that's about 90 miles north of here. Very, very clean and super organized. The food was excellent!
Tonite after work, I will be heading to Reno to spend the night with DS and girlfriend. Tomorrow will be a facial and massage for girlfriend and myself, then some clothes shopping for me. Should be fun.
Oh yeah, I'm down another couple of pounds from yesterday, actually about down to what I was aiming for, but would like to go for a couple more. Probably will be tons of Halloween candy at work to tempt me.
Tracy, thanks for starting this. Glad you could get a little more sleep in this morning. Yep, getting nippier on the bike riding in the evening here. Will be pulling on the warm tights, booties and balaclava before too long.
Traci, I was disappointed in Cathe's November rotation. I was also hoping for more premixes and some other DVD's. If I get creative, I might figure something out. I like the new series, but can't see myself doing it over and over and over, week after week, after week.
Wendy, you are so busy! Ah youth! Lots of plans for you before you leave. Now only about 21 days away, huh? Thanks so much for the info on the laptop. I mentioned it to DH and he's all in favor of me updating. We only got about 14 or so kids trick or treating. The last set came after I had already turned out the light at 9:00 p.m. They were older kids. I felt like giving them a talking to as I didn't even have my light on. However, I was desperate to get rid of some more candy.
Teddygirl, sorry about your son's situation. Know you will be a good mom and listen well. Turkey chili sounds good. Way to go on the looser pants!!! I'm pleased my weight is coming down too. Amazing what eating cleaner will do, though yesterday was not an eat clean day at the prison camp. You don't even want to know what they served and I cleaned up! Where's Ted lately?
Got to run. I may not be able to check in until tomorrow afternoon after returning from Reno.

Swifty: Yes, I am working Nov 6 election. Only thing, I wanted to workout right up too TG day, but it’s all good. Funny you mention lemon I was thinking about adding a lemon in water this morning, but I forgot to bring it and my flaxseed, It has always been hard for me to drink water but with liver problem I really should. My goal for today, is to chug 100 ozs I know I can do it. Have a wonderful day
Nicole: LOL I was in the girls room quite a bit, even when I got home, in and out every 10 minutes, I did good. It’s going to be a repeat performances today. No, I’m not going to follow the routines but am going to take there advice and do more cardio and cardio intervals, that really works bests for me.
Cheryl: nothing wrong with taking a rest day your body probably needed it. You are a hard core workout woman. Drill Max enjoyed it very much, heck I even had to push the pause button a few times. I ended up drinking 80 ozs. I would of made my goal considering my son didn’t come over its all good, I'm proud of myself I did good with my water intake. As much as I hate to confess up I am not a water drinker and that’s not good.

Lauie: Hi there! My son will be okay this isn’t the first time this has happen, they LOVE each other and his girlfriend is expecting another child.

Hi all! Survived Halloween with no major incidents! DD just loves dressing up so it was a good night. We went to my mom's first, then back to our little neighborhood. She got more candy than she can eat in a year...and we still have tons left from what I bought to give out. I will have to fill a bag for my "friend" so he can take it to work and get rid of it! I will try to post some pics...but I am having a problem with my digital camera uploading.
I am going to try and do Cathe's rotation...at least start it. I will get bored with the new dvds if I do them too much...But I like the gist of the rotation. Instead of adding extra cardio I will put in more yoga. I am definitely needing motivation in the workout department lately!

Hi girls. Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I read some of the book last night to get mentally prepared for the rotation. I am starting with the first workout tonight. I will try to get DH to take some "befores" for me. I think this is what I need to stay focused during the holidays. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

WOW! The holiday chatty spirit is in the Xers already! :+
LOVE the Meez Debra!!! You are so creative & always seem to catch your essence perfectly!!!!!
I shall return w/ personals but just had to report my DAY 1 Nov 07 is completed!!!!! PLUS a little "jazz"...
Did HIS as produced (per my instructions from Cathe!) THEN I felt like I wanted to heat things up... I pulled out Timesaver DVD and did #2 Mix in a Blender fashion... That gave me extra back work which I need to counter balance the heavy chest work... ZIPPITY I feel good! :7
I didnt take any precautions (except 1) with arm and I actually feel SPLENDID! Those funky angle back rows I lightened all the way to 7#s & they still felt funky....anyway.. ended up doing all pushups too today- I did drop to knees on all sets but still- its been months since I could do P/U's!!! - Scre* rehab- it didnt work so I'm workin' out!
Off to get sweat out of eyes... shall return:*

Good morning!
Oh, I'm so relieve Thursday is finally here. Yesterday felt like a reeeeally long day. Obviously I never made it back for more chatter. Who knew carving pumpkins can take so long? If I'd done the old-fashioned toothy grin, triangle eyes, I'd have been done in a flash. But nooooo, I buy the stencils and mini-electric-carver and have to go to town. The results were worth it, though. I did two pumpkins, and they looked really nice. I'm not sure if DH took photos or not.
Did anyone else have to take their younguns trick or treating last night? How'd it go? The two-year old caught on to this candy-gathering expedition right quick. She was even willing to put up with the annoying costume that impaired her vision. She was cute, though. I kept her out for a half hour. Then DD#1 and I kept on going with her friend, for another hour. DD#1 now has 3 large salad boxes full of candy. Why do we do this to our children??
Tracy - Can you believe this round of workouts has no floorwork whatsoever? Obviously, it's not necessary! Doing the leg work before the kickbox cardio might be another way to warm up, I would imagine. I think the cardio would feel harder, too.
Traci - Happy Holidays to you too!!! For me, Nov 1 is a day to take a deep breath and relax for a bit. Thanksgiving and Halloween are over. Phew. I need to start present shopping now. Shouldn't be too hard, as DD#2 was already pointing at something on the tv this morning, making it clear that she would like to have it in her possession. I checked out the Nov rotation, and can't say I was moved. She just repeats the 4 workouts, as produced, for 4 weeks. Then throws in SH Legs in Week four. I was hoping for something that used the premixes, at least. I know she suggested we add if we like, but I figure I'll just go ahead and make up my own. But if you're looking to be disciplined, then I'm here to cheer you on. Go Traci! Go Traci!! And yeah, what's up with all this teaching nonsense? She could easily make more workouts every year, if she'd just stop trying to do everything!
Wendy - I've bookmarked your blog. I'm ready to read! Make sure you let us know if you bump into two Canadians looking lost and confused. They'd be my gene pool.
Teddygirl - DrillMax is truly one of my favourite Cathe workouts. It has the fun factor and intensity factor all combined into one. Hey, what's this? I thought Tracy said that our workouts will eventually become uninterrupted from children. She lied! So, is DS still with you? Ah, I see he is. Maybe he just likes to spend time with his mama?
Jeanette - What an interesting description of the camps. Is DH still liking his new job, btw? Enjoy your day with DS and girlfriend. Very funny about the "cream of the crap".
Debra - Ah!! Sending leftover candy to work with DH is a super idea. I'll do that. I hope he doesn't just stash it in his office and keep it to himself though.....Okay, what am I saying about myself when I admit that this meez is my favourite? That's me all the way, baby. XDH is dating already too, huh? Sounds like now is a good time to tell him about the lawyer. Will you be staying in the house, or planning to move some time in the near future? The housing market in the US appears pretty dismal right now; not sure I'd be wanting sell.
Laurie - I felt the KB workout in my back today. I was very stiff, especially in the middle. LIS took care of that, though. Adding on the KM LCD?!?! Are you insane?! Well, yes you are....you did P90X 2x in one year And I reluctantly agree, it would be a great combo. Now stop putting ideas like that in my head, because I don't want to have to do them Ah, Lutherans do confirmation, too. I did not know that. Wasn't Brad Pitt in Se7en, too? Is that where they met (they were engaged for a while)? I've never seen the movie, btw, but that shouldn't surprise anyone here.
SwiftAmy - I feel your frustration about the workout interruptions. Good on you for persisting. 2 unassisted pull ups is still 2 unassisted pull ups!! You're doing so well, I can't believe you're already almost done your second round. I bought their icing this time, because I was really short on time. That was a very smart idea you had to fill premade cupcakes with an icing bag & tip. Did they turn out good?
Carol - So, how'd the Tracey workout go yesterday?
Nicole - You were a busy girl yesterday. What yoga did you do? Ooooh, caramel apples. That's twice this week they were mentioned...I need to find a recipe. Is the chiro going to help you rehab your back? I hope you get back in the groove really soon, but no sooner than when your back is ready.
Amy - You have a new Peanut! Lovely. I've been wanting one of those, and we'll maybe get one in a year.
Tess! - Welcome!!! Did you do Chest & Back today? What did you think? What rotation are you doing? Classic, Lean or Doubles? What results are you hoping to get from P90X?
Cheryl - So, what did you think about the Nov rotation? Are you going to do it?
I just reviewed yesterday's post, and can't believe I typed "Brenda" when I meant "Lorraine." Obviously you all don't read my posts, because no one said anything! tsk tsk.
Has anyone tried the cardio/weight circuit premixes? They look very interesting. Also, with the weights being divided in rounds as they are, it would be so easy to make a variety of cardio/weight circuits, switching out the rounds that are used. There's a lot of potential with these dvds, I think. Another workout I plan on trying is to alternate the HIS/LIS step combos (HIS #1, LIS #1; HIS #2, LIS #2, etc).
There is a newly published, large scale research project that looked at the link between many forms of cancer and bodyweight/obesity. What they found is that even a small amount of excess weight raises the risk of some forms of cancer. They're recommending that people stay really lean: eg. 135lbs for a 5 ft 8 inch person. That's skinny, if you ask me. It also makes me wonder whether the connection between weight and cancer is causal (as they imply), or spurious. By spurious, I mean, both a person's weight and their cancer risk are determined by, say, genetics or some other cause. As such, if you're lucky enough to be "naturally thin", you're also lucky enough to have lower cancer risk, but aggressively dieting yourself down to a low weight will not effect your cancer risk. Good researchers will have addressed this issue, and if I knew where to get a hold of this 512 page paper, I'd be able to see for myself. I'll have to check out the CBC news website and see if there's a link.
Have I prattled on long enough? In case I haven't, I'll share that I did LIS this morning. The step choreo is certainly fun, the music is great, and I had a good time. The shoulder work is intense, the calf raises burn, and the core work gets in there. I've now done all of the workouts but BootCamp (tomorrow's plan), and so far I can say that I like the intensity of the weight work, but the cardio doesn't last long enough to take me to where I like to be. I will be doubling up on the cardio the next session out, I think. It sure is fun, though!
Alright, time to go. Have a great day!

Good morning, er, afternoon, loverly Xer ladies!!!
OOOOHHHHH I'm nice and achy after yesterday's session at the gym!!! I did full squats (past parallel) at #105, seated cable pulls at #100 (lats are talking this morning!!!) and a bunch of other stuff, but those were my PR's from yesterday! Oh, and DB shoulder presses at #25!
Traci- I had to laugh because I think about you everytime I get a Yankee Candle catalog in the mail!!! I am still praying for your shoulder, girl!!! Keep up the great work! Hugs!
Wendy- I love your blog!!! I will definitely work to keep up on it! I hope that you enjoy your trip, though! Oh, and if I had any Xanax (anti-anxiety) I'd definitely send it to you!!!!;-)
Sandra- I'm with you....#135 seems a bit too lean...I'm 5'8" and I'm shooting for #160!!!! Of course, I'm large framed, though.
Tess- Welcome, welcome....I'm just an Xer-dropout. I did about 6 wks of the entire rotation last spring and never left here!
Teddygirl- I hope that your son is able to make up with the girlfriend. I also love chili!
Jeanette-I can't remember if I congratulated you on your test results or not.....but Congratulations!!! That's quite a jump in pay, as well!
Debra- Well, I guess that XDH isn't all 'that' broken up about the divorce.....}(
We actually made out pretty decently last night with the candy. I think that we broke even with what was open, so no tempting leftovers. I do have a bag of stuff that's not opened, but I had planned on taking that to work anyway.....AFTER everyone else dumps their extras...maybe in about a month or so.....}( }( }(
So far, I'm having personal issues with staying on track with the eating....I do great during the day, but totally lose it at night!x( I just need to get my act together and buckle down! Oh, and I need not to be opening a bottle of wine!!!x( x(

Hi...back for a chat...since I have been busy as a bee this morning, I figured I deserved it! I got a lot of stuff done around the house...Halloween put away, some laundry, litter box cleaned, some more laundry, general tiding, etc. Still have not done my workout, but I have plenty of time for that! I have to take DD to gymnastics soon, too.
And here is my rant for the day....Why is it in women's clothes that a 4 or a 6 or an 8 is never the same from brand to brand or even within brands???? Men's clothes seem to be more constructed and therefore more equal across the board. Sometimes, I need a 2 sometimes I need a 4 and sometimes I need a 6...Why is this???? I have on a pair of jeans now that I keep having to hike up...And I promise I am not so thin as to have to hike anything up!!! If anyone has any insight into my question of the day, please let me know. Also...as an aside...how many size 2 people are there out there who have long inseams? Why are clothes which are made for smaller people not cut shorter through the sleeves and the length of the pant? Are there a lot of size 4 women out there who are 5'10"? I don't know any of them, that's for sure! So, I am forced to either shop in the petites...which for the most part are made for little old shrinking women....or in the juniors section where my hips don't fit into the adolescent styles. And the sleeves on jackets...Do a lot of people have monkey-like arms? Okay....I think I am done now. Thanks for listening and I would appreciate any input you lovely ladies have!
Back in a bit for personals...

Men's clothes seem to be more constructed and therefore more equal across the board. Sometimes, I need a 2 sometimes I need a 4 and sometimes I need a 6...Why is this???? I have on a pair of jeans now that I keep having to hike up...And I promise I am not so thin as to have to hike anything up!!! If anyone has any insight into my question of the day, please let me know. Also...as an aside...how many size 2 people are there out there who have long inseams? Why are clothes which are made for smaller people not cut shorter through the sleeves and the length of the pant? Are there a lot of size 4 women out there who are 5'10"? I don't know any of them, that's for sure! So, I am forced to either shop in the petites...which for the most part are made for little old shrinking women....or in the juniors section where my hips don't fit into the adolescent styles. And the sleeves on jackets...Do a lot of people have monkey-like arms? Okay....I think I am done now. Thanks for listening and I would appreciate any input you lovely ladies have!
Back in a bit for personals...

Debra - I love the new meez. It is so appropriate for you. I know about clothes. I hate to shop. The petites are too short, the regulars too big and too long. The sleeves in many things are too short. I'm not one size across the board either and I find it very depressing to keep trying stuff on that doesn't fit.
Jeanette - I'm with you on the rotation. Too much of the same thing. It will be interesting to see who sticks with it.
Traci - Rehab is not working? That's why I didn't go back to the Dr. I think if you use common sense, a little research, and know your body you can figure it out.
Sandra - The cardio isn't quite enough huh? I agree. I'm not sure what purpose that little cardio serves except maybe a shock?
Off to class.
