Xers ***THURSDAY***

Debra- I am looking to go back to school for my Master's Degree in Nurse Anesthesia and the University of NC in Charlotte has a part-time program that looks perfect for me since I have to work full time with DH being disabled. Oh, congrats on your measurements!

I skipped Yoga X today and did Eoin Finn's entire 90 min workout. It felt really good and my shoulders are feeling it right now! I think that I will alternate between that, Yoga X and Bryan Kest's yoga.
 
Amy...My DH went to UNC-Charlotte! So is this a real possibility for you guys? If so, when would you start school? I am moving about an hour and a half from Charlotte...and we used to live in Concord, NC which is just north of Charlotte. It's a great town...lots to do and the school has a really good reputation. Glad you enjoyed Eion today...lots of nectar I'm sure!

Good Evening!

I was 20 minutes into L&B when Phil called wanting me to pick him up at the mechanics. We both ended up doing L&B and ARX when we got home. When I got home from my hair appointment, we ate dinner. It looks like a late night doing Kenpo with Phil. Deep breath....

So far, so good with eating.
Late Breakfast: Kashi Go Lean w/ lactose/fat free milk, blueberries & 1/4 walnuts
Late Lunch: Amy's Enchillada Bowl (YUMMY), spinach with a 1/4 feta cheese, 1 TBS reduced fat ranch dressing
snack: banana
Dinner: small portion of angel hair pasta w/ spaghetti sauce & 1 meatball, banana w/ 2TBS peanut butter

I might indulge in a Harvest Protein Bar before bed. I know, I shouldn't.

Now, onto Personals! :)

Teddygirl: You LB workout was a nice blend of activities! You're going to all UB every three days? Post a sampling of your plans when you get a chance. Same thing happened to me with Amazon. It took a couple of days to work it out. They kept wanting to use a closed credit card even though I typed in the new one. Good that you got your account fixed so quickly.

Jeanette-X: Hmmm, I'm wondering if you want to feel DOMS in your legs. Doesn't your legs bulk up easily? So, if you felt DOMS there, wouldn't that mean the muscles in your legs are getting bigger and thereby cause bulkiness? I would think that not having DOMS after doing the leg work in Squeeze AND B&G with ankle weights would mean you have some massive, powerful leg muscles already!!! Can I get an AMEN! ;-) Free lunch and firefighters! Ooo-La-La Sounds like my kind of day! Hope you got your bike ride in tonight. I'm with you. I'm going to dye my hair for as long as I can. I thought about stopping, but it wouldn't be a good look for me. Also Phil already looks young in comparison to me. Don't want people thinking he's married to someone his mother's age! Sorry to hear about your dh's discontent with work. It must be a pretty stressful time for him. Phil has had close moments where he's thought about leaving his company and working for another. Then he thinks about not working with the same men he's worked with for the last 15 years. I hope everything works out for your dh, be it leaving or staying.

Laurie-X: Doesn't that bite when the buses are late. Times like those, I kick myself for not bringing something to read while waiting. Of course, running around the parking lot for a cardio workout would NEVER cross my mind!!! :7 You found a bathing suit you like! That's impressive!!! I'm dreading bathing suit shopping. In fact, I think I'll pass this year since we're not spending a week at the shore.

Amy: Congrats on finishing Phase 1! You are brave ordering from BB. I don't understand why their business practices have to border on trickery! They have marketable products! I just wish they would be more up front with their so called specials and just list the REAL price with shipping included!!! Deep breath.... This reminds me to check out our statement. We did the one time purchase for the X too. But, you never know. Thankfully, I haven't been tagged for any of their marketing "specials". Excuse me while I slowly count to ten.

Debra-X: It's so nice to have you back on the net again! How exciting a brand spanking new house on an acre of grass to cut! But, never mind all that... You lost weight AND inches!!! The faux X and diet must be clicking for you. Do you keep a journal to see what workouts/foods helped with past results? Or do you instinctively know based on past experience/memory what your body needs? You know what? Forget Dreya's moaning! I finally realized why I've never noticed Dreya's moaning. I have to deal with Phil's moaning and whinning and sighing!!! He won't shut up! It's not just for wall squats either. It's for tip toe lunges, one legged lunges, groucho's walk... basically ALL of it except for the chin-ups! Let's not even talk about ARX! sigh

Traci-X: Get out! You went wacky during your first round of the X? Oh my! I think the 2 day (HA-HA) 1200 calorie diet did more to my mind than Tony ever did or could! NEVER again! That's just level 10 crazy! Maybe, if I was, say... comatose, 1200 calories would be sufficient. Well, at least you found some humor with my gluttonous behavior. Yes, I've noticed I have to watch some of those shoulder fly type moves. Too much range of motion of me to veer off on and hurt myself. Sounds like a good plan to take it easy and reevaluate on Monday.

Wendy-X: You are such a good post-Xer. I'm really interested in hearing how Cathe's May rotation works for you.

Tracy-X: Hope you enjoyed your rest day. You deserve it! I've been meaning to thank you for your X advice a few days ago. I needed to hear no subbing = results again. Thanks for the Power Systems heads up. I don't foresee purchasing from BB what I can get elsewhere. What am I going to do when Tony comes out with his new dvds? UGH!!!

Sandra-X: How lovely your Vacation Diet sounds!!! I'd love to use that as an excuse too! Well, my mind DID go on a brief vacation this week after my 2 day Bootcamp Diet. ;-) Really? Easy to cheat on Cathe's ab work? How come no one told me before?!?!?! Enjoy the peach pie!:9

Nicole: Core Synergistics in the Recovery Week kicked my butt and core and back! It wasn't what I was expecting to see or do in a recovery week for sure! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with your body during this week. Keep on dreaming! Torte during recovery week will not help you to see any results!;-)

Scratch Kenpo for tonight. Pushing off for tomorrow late morning. I think I'll snuggle under the covers and find something to watch on tv.

BTW, I forgot to mention that I ate what I thought was a fruit bar. Silly me didn't notice that fruit isn't white! I ATE fruit flavored ice cream!!!! Oh! It was good though. However, my lactose intolerant self is soooo gassy right now. At least, I didn't eat enough to get the sharp cramps. I think Phil and Baby will voluntarily sleep on the couch. I already notice my dog is sleeping half way across the room from me! LOL

Sweet Dreams!

Sandra-X: I almost forgot to tell you... My dd finished reading Paddle to the Sea and was showing me Paddle-To-The-Sea's route from a little river that runs out of Lake Nipigon in Canada to the sea by way of the Great Lakes. The wooden canoe and wooden Indian, AKA Paddle-To-The-Sea, went down the falls on the Canadian side. Anyhow, I told dd that you were there with your dd. She thought that was cool and wanted to know if y'all saw the rainbow.

Hi all,
Had a really nice bus trip today to the fire camp. Lots and lots of inmate fire crews. We got to watch them cut a simulated fire line, drills, etc. The lunch was good. I held back on too many of the starchy things, but ended up having 3 big cookies. I am a cookie nut for sure. It was a fun day. Got home and did a nice, but windy ride with my girlfriend. DH did not quit his job. Turns out the manager caught wind of how bad DH's supervisor was and I believe the supervisor will be suspended or fired. The manager has called each worker in to speak with them privately. DH will be back to work tomorrow and I'm sure he'll be spoken to. Will find out more tomorrow. No more grouchy DH today. Sheesh!

Amy, good job on being down in weight after the bloat. Salt does a number on me and I really have to watch it. Also, after hard bike rides, my body will swell for a couple of days and then release. Just what it does. We are fortunate around here with the bike riding. Lots of back roads and not too much traffic. You're inspiring me to do KenpoX tomorrow. Will pull out the weighted gloves for it.

Tracy, enjoy your rest day. I wish they regenerated me but lots of times, I just feel sluggish during the rest day. I need to just do an active rest day. The lunch today was great. A really nice change from being at the prison. The camp program is a great thing for the inmates and is the best hope we have against recitivism (spelling). Looking forward to hearing about your new Shiva.

Wendy, the torte sounds good, but back on the clean eating, okay? Enjoy your hair appointment.

WendyX, good workouts! Cathe's May rotation using the premixes looks interesting too.

Traci, yep, thinking that ice would be best for a while. I always worried about the scarecrows and never went very heavy with those. Give it plenty of time. The tri-tip was good, but they sliced it VERY thin for some reason and I like mine sliced thicker. It looked more like slices of roast beef than what I know tri-tip to be. Was good anyways.

Sandra, sounds like you are having a really nice, relaxing time on your vacation. Peach pie, mmmmmm. You'll be back on the wagon when you get home so might as well enjoy your time there. Everything in moderation, huh?

Debra, great, great job on your results!!!! Those are awesome!! Wish we could ride our Marin's together sometime. That would be a blast! Your house sounds good. Can you post some pictures? I may try my S&H's again sometime soon. Muscle confusion, it's the best!

Nicole, exciting that you are getting some results with the X. The Recovery Week is pretty cool, though sometimes it took a couple, few days to "shrink".

Got to go, be back in the morning,

Jeanette
