Thursday; P90X Shoulders & Arms


P*E*R*S*O*N*A*L*S



JeanetteX
LOVE LOVE LOVE your w/o yesterday! I really don’t know why I feel the need to own so many DVDs when everything Cathe puts out is so easy to mish mosh… LOL on seeing the Xers on your TT Ride! We REALLY ARE WITH YOU! Sometimes when I am struggling in a w/o I call you all up to my mind a have you be in the room egging me on! Have a FABULOUS TRIP!!! We always miss you so much tho. Yes- I’ll be adding pics on every page just as soon as I have a good hair day!

LaurieXX
LOL on scissors! I NEVER do them like Cathe does because of knees- I’m more a Plyo X gal-Run Stance Squats! I do hope you start feeling better soon- no point in killing yourself – Its so hard to take a break isn’t it? {{{{{Laurie}}}}}}



DebraX
ROF re: Polly! Just the cutest! Storm hitting as I type – LOTS of lightening so I may have to sign off quickly and return when things settle a bit. LOL on all your purchases! You must look like a pro out on the road!

Jennifer
WELCOME {{{{{{{{ X er Hugs }}}}}}}}! Red Bull + Sugar???????? OMG I’d have a heart attack! We’ll have to create a special code for you & Cheryl- The gals that sold Tony out! LOL

NicoleX
My sis in Bakersfield said that the city is covered in dark smoke from a fire in Long Beach… I guess it blew North and got stuck inside the surrounding mountains (BAK)… That place is a lung disease waiting to happen imo! Funny about men- My DH says he likes a bit more meat on me too but yet he goes comatose watching those skinny models in underware ads! LOL I think mine is just jealous personally…The heat/humidity is staggering right now- hoping this storm will give relief without too much flooding. I think of you all the time when we have rain and try & send you & JeanetteX some via mental telepathy! Hows your upper body today? GREAT w/o’s Cathe concoted yesterday

Carol
GREAT w/o for you yesterday too! I cant wait to do Shoulders & Arms today…My favorite all time lifting w/o – so effective! ^5 on the 57 toe p/ups!!!! THAT’S FABULOUS!!!!!!! I often wonder what it would be like to do a Cathe tape on a good floor – I get so concerned with the carpet that I’m sure I don’t put ALL into my turns & pivots.

WendyX
ROF on your new found colorful world! COLOR is still too much work for me but I do like bold & italics! Where does one go to learn about these things? (other than Cathe Boards!) So whats our cutest little Xer doing for her birthday???? I wish I were there to give you a big hug! I hope your entire year is filled with love, laughter, happiness and prosperity! It’s a sad sad day when that lightbulb goes off between diet & results… I’m STILL in crisis about that one! LOL

SwiftyX
LOL on your epic post yesterday! You must still be on Cathe Energy! All the ray talk is so cute! I love a cool rat! Thanks for visiting the website- changes DAILY at this point but getting it where I want it slowly but surely.

Cheryl:
Must have been upper mania day around here yesterday! GREAT W/O! Thanks so very much for presentation info- I think its great to collect various theories because we are all so different… I like to collect all that data so I have options when/if my body stops responding.


TeddyGirl
OH MY on the cupcakes! Once I SMELL one I’m a gonner! I LOVE cakes! Hope sleeping was part of your evening!

Amy
MISS YOU GIRL!!!!!!! COME HOME SOON!

TRACY X
MISS YOU AND WANT TO SEE PICS!!!!


Gotta shut down I think as storm is going strong!!!!! HUGS TO ALL!!!
 
Goood morning xer's!

Today wo - Gauntlet as produced (minus the minute of ME pushups at the very end) I was toasted!

Question - Am I hurting myself by doing Gauntlet, with the variety of body parts worked similar to yesterday's, Drill Max wo? Hmmmm. Please do reply with infinite wo wisdom someone.:)

TracyX - yes, I do believe making the connection on the RT has rewired my brain. Different like -now I feel a friendliness and connectedness to you gals now. It was hard for me to believe that really nice women exist. Stay out of the storm! I Love shoulders/arms. Have fun with Tony!

Gotta shower up and boogie out of here! Later xer's!
 
:) :) :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!! :) :) :)


Good Morning! :) How is everyone on this beautiful Thursday?

I have been dragging all week since coming back from the RT. Really need a kick in the rear and push myself to work out tonight! My eating has been horrible also :(

Traci-X ~ Thank you so much for the Warm Welcome!! Have fun w/ Shoulders & Arms..When having P90X this was indeed my favorite out of all of them :) I am thinking of slowly adding my collection back of P90X...I have been looking into Ebay and thought about purchasing a few here and their until my set is complete again, or do I want to go through BeachBody again.... ??

Amy ~ Great Workout Today!!! :) I don't think I'm going to touch your question, I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff, but I would think you would be fine since they are basically circuit style workouts and your not lifting as heavy as say a Full-Body workout! Sorry, I probably don't even make sense!! LOL :)

Wendy ~ Happy Birthday Girlfriend!!! What's planned for the day? You having a Party ? :) :)

Just got into work. Better get some work done! BBL,

Jenn ~ :)

I’m sure your “dragging” is physical + mental! I was reading a few of the “let down” posts yesterday… even Cathe’s got a bit of a case of the blues it appears. I relate to that as I get lots of juice from being with people and I tend to feel the let downs deeply. Take it easy until you feel like your old self! You burned enough calories on R/T to suffice for a bit! On P90X- His supplemental workouts to the series are due out soon too so be sure and listen for the X teams screams & yells as we get in line to order! Have a GREAT DAY at work!

[font color=blue]SwiftyX[/font color=blue]
OMG woman! Cathe often puts circuits back to back – I think the assumption is that you aren’t working muscles to exhaustion and you aren't lifting ultra heavy- NOW – because you are a bionic woman YOU MAY BE LIFTING far heavier than the assumption! I say listen to your body… If you are REALLY sore I’d personally go much lighter on the poundage on day 2. Do what works for you and take into account the full week when you are deciding. ~ I think its WONDEFUL you feel more connected now! We all need the personal touch once in awhile.
 
Good morning ladies. Hope all is well with everyone today! I am supposed to do cardio today, but I am feeling pretty draggy this morning..so not sure yet. My other option is GS legs...which isn't pretty either! My mom and I are taking DD to see 'Underdog' today and then DD is spending the night with my mom tonight. I have a program I have to go to with the club we are joining for the pool...but they also do some community service too. I am kind of putting off the cardio since I could go riding in the morning since DD will still be with my mom...and now that I have all my hot new equipment, I feel like getting out there. We'll see....I was also thinking about Squeeze...I really like that one and you use such light weights it's almost like using a band...Maybe I could just add that in for this week...may give me the break without a break. Can you tell I have no discipline when it comes to rotations???

Okay...a few personals...I caught up with most everyone last night..but for this mornings posts...

Traci...Stay out of that nastiness today! Your pups must be going crazy! Have fun with S&A today...that one is always a goodie. Glad you are moving along with the website. I am sure it takes a while to tweak it just like you want.

Swifty...I gotta agree with Traci, no heavy lifting on the second day. I, personally, don't like to do circuits back to back...but maybe that's just because I am a wimp! But really, I think you do work those muscles...even if it is not to exhaustion...and I think they need a break the day after. That is probably why I have such a hard time working circuits into my rotation..I usually end up breaking some of them down into bits for the variety. Have fun at work today!

Jenn...Sorry you have lost the endorphin high of the RT...It's always hard to come after vacation...right? I am sure you will get your eating back under control...sometimes we just have to take a break from the rigors of being good all the time! Have a lovely day at work.

**********WENDY**************
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you have a great day!

I'm here waving to everyone else this morning....I promised I got to you all yesterday...will bbl to catch up...but I am sure my dog is ready for her breakfast and is probably crossing her legs as I type!

Morning Ladies,

Rotation: Cathe July '07
Workout: Week 4/Day 3/45 Min Interval Run (Probably a Cardio Coach :D )

Ok so what happens, you just turn 44 years old and you then suffer from the worst cramps you have ever had. And in the middle of the night!!!! :D Does your body know that you had a birthday! :D So last night was a hit the bottle of Midol night. Woke up really tired this morning, but am able to function (need more coffee though). Cold is much better though!

Enjoyed yesterdays workout of PUB, and I went as heavy as I could. Had Tony on my shoulder when I was about to give up, and he was saying work until failure. So that is what I did, and today I feel nice and toasty in my upper body (and my biceps are still pumped!). :D

Tonight we are invited to a friends house for a cook out. Should be fun.

Oldest DD is doing better with this cold than I did, she must have gotten a minor case of it. She was running Xcountry yesterday in the rain. Came home again with a smile on her face, and saying they ran 6 miles that day. And she is only a little sore. WHAT! Oh to be 14 again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Wendy!!!! I will have to go to OD and see how to do the color and bold printing. It looks like you where having a great time with your new knowledge. :)

Traci, I have been doing the same thing with converting some of the moves that Cathe does to a more Tony friendly move. I did Imax2 and subbed the Genie Hopps for the Hot Foot. I always feel the Genie Hop in my feet really bad.

Debra, I had to LOL about the dog. They do have a bunch of moves that relate to animals in Yoga! :7 You are all set to get on that bike with your shopping.

Jennifer, Love the combo of sugar and caffeine, do you know I have never had a Red Bull or any energy drink. :) I know I live a sheltered life. Did you note that the Snickers was not mentioned. One of my fav candy bars.

Anointed, Well it was only 1/2 a cupcake. Much better than the whole thing. I'm just the opposite, I eat the cake and not the frosting. :9 It will be a while for me to get into the new technology also. My oldest DD is the only one with an IPod.

Carol, Way to go on the push-ups. The ones in GS are tough, only because you don't get the rest inbetween. I always put more rest when I do that workout.

Nicole, Great workout yesterday. LOL about the exfloiation during VB. That is why the shower afterwards probably felt as good as it did, and my skin was so soft. :D

Jeanette, So glad to hear that the stove is in place and no damage to tile or DH was done. I can understand not wanting to watch your DH doing the install. I had seen my DH on a ladder trying to nail siding onto our chimney. I have a great fear of hights, and watching him was not good.

Cheryl, Thanks for the info on the stomach pooch. Always like hearing what may be going on with the bod as we get to certain ages.

Tracy, Hope you are having a great time.

Sandra, Busy lady, we are missing you.

Swifty, Sounds like you had a great time on the RT, and meeting some of the Xers as well. Ok, reading about your BIL, you are talking about a soap opera right.

Amy, Just in case she is checking, hope your travels are going great.

I'm going to get some hot water for my tea bbl,

Laurie
 
Good Morning XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXers:)

I had a hard time falling asleep AGAIN last night even with sleeping pills, I woke up several times, ARGH....I believe it from worrying, this too shall pass.

This morning, I did Gin Miller Power workout and MIS abs. Tonight, Legs & Glutes :p or Legs & Glutes Xtreme:p First, I have too see how me body is feeling once I get home, but it’s definitely going to be some booty work going on, believe that!!;)

WendyX: Happy Birthday:7 What are your plans today?

TraciX: Shoulders & Arms, nice! don’t you just lovvvve this workout, I do. Its on tap for me tomorrow, and I’m so excited about it. OUCH! Next week, I will be moving on to P90X CS&T and BB I’m so looking forward to doing these workouts. I NEVER done them before, I don’t think, no, I haven't I never opened Stretch X soon:+ :+

DebraX: go bike riding, that should be fun!
 
You guys are sooo sweet! I feel all warm and happy inside!!!! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!!! I don't have any idea what Phil has planned for me tonight. I know my day is going to be full!!!

I just got back from taking Baby to the vet. She's been losing clumps of hair since Monday. I'm talking, we sweep the floors and ten minutes later there's more clumps ALL over the place! The good news is that she only has allergies. She's gotta take meds 2x a day. Hopefully, this will stop her itchiness.

I've gotta leave in 15 minutes for art lessons. As soon as we get back, we've gotta leave for music lessons. Of course, the girls didn't practice most of the week! We have to keep rescheduling music due to everyone's summer vacation plans. I should be back for personals later this afternoon.

[font color=silver]Traci-X [/font] Oooo, I miss S&A! That was one of my favorites! Thanks for the hug! It's a mighty powerful one! I can feel it all the way in PA! What do you have planned for today? Training all the clients pounding on your door?:) I don't think I'm mental!:7 I enjoyed the RT, but I'm so happy to be back home in my own bed. I even missed Phil over the weekend. My roomie asked how long we had been married when she heard me say that I missed him. Maybe she thought we weren't married long? If that was the case, I probably wouldn't have missed him!!!!!!LOL

[font color=red]Amy X [/font] You won't be getting any wisdom here. I always TRY to listen to my body per Tracy's advice. I truly think that's what kept me off the injury list during the X. Too bad Tracy isn't back to give advice too. I have a tendency to push myself harder than I should at times or else kick myself for not doing what I think I should be able to do. Then I remind myself of the ladies' advice her and accept my daily personal best. I know you're strong! Did you even get any DOMS from the RT?:p

[font color=yellow]Jenn [/font] Hey, I have to email you back. My mailbox is full of emails I need to reply! Can I just suggest you eat some food!!! Not just any food! cough cough doughnuts:p :7 Sandra and Traci and Tracy are the resident Xer nutritionists! If you're going to start lifting heavy, you need to feed those muscles. Okay, lecture over for now. I think we're going to stay home this weekend. I'm too tired to travel. If that's the case, you can get your wheel fixed and let's ride on Saturday!

[font color=purple]Debra-X [/font] LOL Do you have Rotation ADD? Anything you choose to do today will be fine! I vote for a bike ride!!! You're always on the go. I admire you for being able to hold down the fort on your own. I'd be a basketcase without another adult for help! It's great that you're back closer to your family! I'm sorry that you and dh are having a difficult time these days. Phil and I dated long distance for awhile. It was hard to be apart and together! Have you ever considered living in Russia too? I don't blame you if the answer is a resounding Heck NO! Isn't it COLD over there? It sure looked like it was when in Fiddler on the Roof! Enjoy your day! Sending you huge cyber hugs and blowing you coffee filled kisses!:* :* :*

Looks like time's up! So sad. Hi to all who follow!!!

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Hi, everyone! Happy Birthday, Wendy!!!!!!

Amy/Swifty, great workout!!!!

Amy, welcome home and safe re-arrival - I'll bet your kitties are going nuts. Are they mad at you for leaving?

Just a fly-by this morning - I finally have Lasik on one eye (for reading) today and I may not be allowed to be on the computer for the rest of the day. We'll see.

Have a great one, everyone!

Cheryl
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does your local DD give you free coffee all day?

HELLO to Jennifer and Carol! It's nice to have new voices in the group. This is a very supportive group, I'm sure you'll like it here.

You all are having some nice chats. Maybe I'll find some energy today to come back and join in a bit. I'm very tired, which is making me feel very unenthused about Life. Ach, this too shall pass.

Yesterday I did:
GS Back, IMAX 1-5, CoreMax#2.
In the evening I did 30 mins of Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti.

This morning I did:
GS Shoulders, GS Legs.
Later today I plan to do Eoin Finn's Magically Hips.

DebraX - Oooooh, I just remembered your comment from a few days ago: YOU LOST SHIVA?! Oh, I feel for you!! I don't know what I'd do without her anymore. You must not rest until she is found!

Won't make any promises to BBL, but will try.
SandraX
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!!!

[font color=green]SandraX[/font color=green]
Do I sense a funk today? I do hope you are OK- I am sending HUGE Xer HUGS and Smiles. Take a break from all that is on your mind….. Your w/o’s past 2 days are mind boggling! XXOOXOXOXOXO

[font color=green]LaurieXX[/font color=green]
Kinda chuckling about the cramp monsters KNOWING its our birthday! So sorry that it was painful tho… This too shall pass- but NOT soon enough! GREAT news about the cold easing up and YES to have the immune system of a 14 yr old! Good genes I imagine. CONGRATS on really pushing yourself on PUB! I love the feeling when its over but man its HARD to actually do that! I’m stealing your Hot Feet idea for genie hops- I too feel “bad” stuff doing those and have always alternated feet to for relief. ENJOY your cookout tonite- sounds heavenly!

[font color=red]DebraX[/font color=red]
Your post of WHAT TO DO FOR W/O left me laughing! GAWD I hate when I get that way! I just end up thinking about all of it and call THAT the w/o! YES my 3 kids are under feet/desk so w/o will wait til the universe quiets down later today.


[font color=red]WendyX[/font color=red]
Oh I bet that sweet man of yours has BIG PLANS! What meds did vet put Baby on? My vets have always said theres nothing to give my poor guys. Goldens are notorious for skin allergies and Kabo suffers so badly. ~ I agree about being in own bed and missing DH… I traveled so much in my 20’s & 30’s with business that to me a vacation is just staying at home (or bay). Enjoy your special day!


[font color=red]Cheryl[/font color=red]
CONGRATS on Lasik! Mine changed my life!!!! I do think you’ll need to rest the eyes rest of day tho.


[font color=green]TeddyGirl[/font color=green]
I sure hope you find a part-time job that you enjoy to relieve the stress. What about working at a health club / gym in your area? I think you’d be FABULOUS at doing tours/sales!!!!!! Commissions might be REALLY GOOD! You already look the part with your buff self- DO IT!


Well- Off to try and pry the scared kids off my legs so I can EAT!
 
Back again after my workout and before heading out to the movies. I ended up doing Squeeze. I really enjoy that one...so I stick it in when I just want to do something different. I am getting better with the arm section and not having to pause nearly as much...I guess that's good, hunh? My bottom is still pretty sore from the *#@^&$# dog, and it actually really hurts to squeeze that butt muscle..I am sure there is some deep inner bruise that will rear it's ugly head soon (no pun intended!) I will definitely be biking tomorrow morning since DD will be at my mom's house...She's still a little to young to leave by herself while I go out tooling on the bike. Once she is back in school, I will have a lot more freedom on that front.

Okay..to catch up a bit...

Wendy...Hope you have a fabulous time with whatever dear Phil has planned for you tonight. My doggie has allergies, too, and she is on an antihistamine and omega 3 pills twice a day. It really has helped her itchiness. She still gets an occasional ear infection due to her allergies, though. We toyed with the idea of DD and I moving to Russia, but it is such a hard country to adapt to, and I was not willing to move there permanently, so we decided it would be best for DD for us not to move. And I gotta tell you...at this point I am really glad we didn't.

Cheryl..Good luck with your surgery today! I will be thinking of you!

Traci..Hello, dear woman. Hope you get the velcro pups off of you so that you can have a decent meal. Make sure and read my post to Wendy about the doggie medicine. Now that DH has been gone for so long, it's actually really tough to sleep with him! I don't sleep the entire week he is around...He takes up too much of the bed..and the snoring!! I don't know how he breathes at all...LOL!

Laurie...Sorry about the cramps...I hate getting older. I had the worst cycle last month, too. What is that about?!? Glad DD is feeling better though. It sounds like she has really found her niche with cross country. My DH used to run CC in high school too. I'm not sure if he could run around the block now...lol! I wish I could do a down dog as good as my pooch's! Any more rescue pets heading your way? I'm glad Tony was there to coach you through your workout yesterday.

Teddygirl...Hope your booty is feeling good tonight after your workout...I will definitely be biking tomorrow. Sorry about the insomnia.

Sandra...Sending some {{{{{hugs}}}}} your way...Hope you feel more chipper soon. Still have not found the Shiva...Don't want to buy it again until I really search high and low. I have a feeling it got stuck in a box that is in our attic...but with the temps here, there is no way I can get up there to check. I may pass out and DD won't know where I am!!

Nicole...Waving as you fly by!

Okay...heading out to the movies...I may not get back later..Having a little dilemma as to what to wear tonight. Nothing in my casual dressy clothes fit...All way too big. I have very dressy stuff and very casual stuff but nothing in between. I may get something after the movies.

Kisses to all of you who I may have missed today!

Good Afternoon X'ers!

Today was my scheduled rest day, but it's been ANYTHING but restful }( I've been very busy cleaning and shuttling my DS to Philly for an orthodontist appt (yes, I drive him an hour each way and pay out of pocket for the best ortho on the planet, lol!) and lots of stress over a loan we recently took out to buy our new car. Stupid Title Guy who didn't do the wire transfer correctly and some forms that he neglected to have us sign, ARGH! But, it's all better now and I hope to get some SLEEP tonight (I've been up since 4AM dealing with it all..)

Wendy -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you do something fun :D :D :D

Nicole -- I used to post over at the FF on some check-in threads there, so I have some experience ;-)

Debra -- Yup, feeling it today, lol! My triceps are screaming at me, too.

Traci-X -- I LOVED Cathe's aerobic flooring in her studio. So springy and easy to move on. If only I had enough room in my house... lol

Amy -- I think The Gauntlet is my favorite Terminator workout. So fun!! I'll have to dig it out again and do it soon...

Jenn -- Do I have to drive up there and kick your rear in person? ;-)

Laurie -- At least the pushups in GS are at the beginning of the workout when I'm still fresh. Workouts where they're at the end KILL me! lol

Hello to everyone else! I hope you have a great day :D

Carol
 
Evening :)

Legs & glutes done }( also walked 35 minutes to stretch these ole legs :eek: I got my bubble bath awaiting.

I praaaaaay that I get a good night sleep tonight, aw...that would be so nice night....night...Have a wonderful wonderful evening allx(
 
Heys Gals,

I'm sorry I never got to personals today. I'm busy helping my sister with a presentation on fitness & nutrition for a ladies retreat at her church. I told her I would come do it got her but KS is a bit too far with the boys starting school:( I love talking about fitness and nutrition so it's right up my alley, so I have to put it together and send it to her. It's hard e-mailing a presentation to someone but I'll try:)

See you all tomorrow,

Nicole

Just popping in to tell you I had a wonderful day!!!!

Phil took me to a local yoga class for my birthday!!!! (My form isn't as great as I thought it was!) He went along for the ride too!!! (His form is better than I thought it was!!!) I believe the male instructor seemed to be hitting on him!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't until after class and a 5 minute conversation that the instruction finally figured out we were married!! I'm more jealous of his form!:p :p :p

Afterwards, he took me to shop for my own personal yoga mat (never use a loaner mat.. PEE-Ewww) and to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner (Jamacian Black Pepper Shimp) and drinks (2 Tropical Maritinis).:9 I was too full for dessert. It was a fun time. We got to talking to different people at the bar and had a good time while waiting for our tables. You think I talk alot when sober!!!!}(

Time for me to hit the sack. Will do personals in the morning!

Love You All!!!

Wendy :* :* :*
