RE: Xers Wishful
I busted my butt with TB+ this morning. It felt so good and I was sweating up a storm. I am so excited to see results that it really motivates me to work harder. I am up to almost all toe push ups on these workouts. I remember when I did they the first couple of times I just laughed at the thought of doing the whole thing and now I am really working it
I am much closer to doing a chin up than I was three weeks ago
Traci, I do hope you are not on the IL for long. I think you have learned though when to say when and take it easy. I'm impressed to see that you are one of the exceptional trainers that Cathe talks about on her blog. How good to have that information to pass on to your clients. I think that you have such a passion for fitness that you couldn't fail if you tried! I hope to have that same passion when I start studying for that field. A few more years and I'll be able to focus on me a little more. You know Dr. Oz and Roizen say that having a passion for something adds years to your life. I think you're set between your fitness and Wendell
DH says I snore sometimes too. I think those are the good sleeping nights where nothing will wake me
For all of you now afraid to sleep in the same room with me at the retreat, I do NOT snore on a regular basis
I can't wait for you to try the Plus series and hear what you think. I unfortunately changed my eating, my workouts and my supplements at the same time so I don't know which one I should give the most credit to
I tell myself to stop doing that but I do it anyways
Oh my gosh, this post is so loooong!!!! Are you worn out now?
Tracy, Sounds like we are all on the cleaning wagon together today. I get to do the little stuff that gets ignored when the little ones are home. I'm glad you're feeling better today. This bug is knocking people for a loop! At least you'll have nice strength gains by the end because of the lull of sickness in the beginning
I'm bummed you won't be there early on the 3rd but technically neither will I. I found a cheap ticket for $278 but I have to stop in L.A. and D.C.. I won't arrive until 10:30 at night but I knew the girls would be up causing trouble still
You will really enjoy the shift from regular to Plus P90X. It is such a great program and the length affords time for yoga and core work. I haven't done any of the "core" workouts and I feel I have worked it more than I ever did. I think full push ups really engage the core and so do the assisted pull ups. Gee, I'm long winded today! Do you think it's because there's no threat of anyone bugging me? Now you're scared to see how much I talk in person, huh?
Wendy, you are killing me with your Blackberry! I would be in trouble if I had one. I'd be distracted all the time because I would feel the need to inform you all of every detail of my life as it happens
Glad to see you're getting your moneys worth out of it
All of this talk of thoughtful husbands is making me jealous. DH and I did absolutely nothing for each other. I told him it's a holiday for women and he needs to get on it next year
By the way, if you are feeling fat, I'm a whale
Stop it now I say!!!! I'm right there with you on the easy access foods. I seem to always go for the chocolate. I heard that the way it melts on your tongue makes you happy so I eat it when I need a boost. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
By the by, I have a Capresso from BB&Beyond and I use it every day with no problems. I know when it's starting to burn the coffee and I turn it to steam before then. Works every time and it's cheaper than Starbuck's
Ok, I won't lie, I still go to Starbuck's as often as possible:9
Sandra, I know you have nothing else to do but load up those Tinkerbell cake pics so would you get on it?
The underground sea caverns sound fun! Sounds like you have a wonderful day of adventure planned. My your kids will have some good memories! My poor kids will say, "Well, we had breakfast then cleaned our room, then had lunch, then re-cleaned our room then had dinner then made a mess in our room which we had to clean first thing in the morning again..........". Yes it really is that dreary around here. You do motivate me to try harder
HSTA Is a good one. I'll put it on my list of post P90X workouts. By the way, way to go on becoming an XX'er! I don't think I ever congratulated you. Only two more weeks for me
Did you manage to get much done on your thesis yesterday? I hope it is done soon as I miss your epic posts. Don't worry I'll fill in for you, at least for today
Laurie, I'm glad you got to sleep in today! I will take advantage of a quiet house and sleep in tomorrow
You didn't get a Mac, gasp! I too am a Mac fan but mainly because of the lack of problems. I can't wait to get a new one as I still have the little 12" monitor. Glad to see your DH loved the Cordial Cherries. you did read that you were responsible for making us some at the retreat right?
Sounds like you had a relaxing night and that's just what you needed. I am so looking forward to church without the kids! I think I'll sit up in the front and get out first
Our church dismisses by row starting at the front but since we have wee ones we sit in the back every Sunday. Now I'll be spoiled
Jeanette, you know I was pretty content with my life until I read your darned post
Now why did you have to go and have all the fun? It makes me think I need to do the same as soon as possible! How nice that DH took the reigns and had dinner going and the table set when you got home. I bet he's nice to have around. The BBQ sounded nice and relaxing. So did you get the same random storm we got? It was freezing!!! I turned on the news and you would have thought the world had stopped because we got a few inches of snow. I think it was more because no one was prepared and we have like three snow plows for the whole county
Hope you're still kicking and screaming at DH to get to work! you have to stay on them
Enjoy the time with your sister and BIL!
Debra, Now I'm just throwing this out there but I bet XDH was so nasty because he saw the hottie he is missing out on
I'm glad you won't engage in the back and forth banter with him. You are smart to have the lawyer handle it that way your nose stays clean and XDH can't use it against you. You must have quite a pile of nasty e-mails saved by now. I'm laughing about the toothpaste in funny places because I just found some at the top of the shower curtain from DS's. I don't even know how they did that! I vote yes on Tracy giving us yoga pointers at the retreat! Isn't Sweat a good one? I did Tone the other day and felt so good when it was over. Isn't it scary when you have a very vivid dream about someone? Sometimes I start to think maybe it was a vision and freak out. I'm glad to say that none of my "visions" have become reality
Hope you're off studying in between CBL's engaging conversation at the steakhouse
Kim, Sorry you're still feeling punky
Sounds like you are sticking to your workouts like a trooper! Way to go! How fun that you'll be able to make a business trip into a little vacation. Get better soon and come for a longer visit.
Christiane, Are you still stuck in the cold States? When are you do to return home?
Hi Latrese and Swifty!!
See, now aren't you all glad I have a family around most of the time to bridle this tongue?
I think I'm caught up for about a week now
See you all tomorrow. I'm going to the movies with my BFF and seeing 27 Dresses. I heard it was cute!
Nicole
Bring it!!!
