[font face="book antiqua"][i ]You ready for some Leg X today??? [/i][font/ book antiqua]

[font face="book tahoma"][i ]LAURIE- XX [/i][font/ book tahoma]
[font face="book antiqua"][i ]1600 chemicals? OMG I’d be scared to death to go to work there! Do you have to wear masks??? Scary stuff! ~ yes I do love doing Leg X and have used it several times minus back… I flow from one exercise to next (FF) and usually take a 2-3 minute break after 4 or 5 moves. Its amazing how different the workout feels doing it that way… Also a good way to use is (if you use it regularly) is backwards… The exercises overload muscles very differently when you do it that way. Leg X will always be a regular for me as its so effective for my body type. ~ LOL on your sweet baby! That’s my poops for sure! 3 couch potatoes that get a burst of energy at Breakfast (4am) – when UPS comes (130pm) and dinner 4pm! Other than that as long as DH isn’t home we are a quiet group!! ENJOY IT! [/i][font/ book antiqua]

[font face="book tahoma"][i ]NICOLE - X [/i][font/ book tahoma]
[font face="book antiqua"][i ]Thanks for the prayers! I can use them all right now… I am so sorry that you are feeling like poopie! Amazing how many Xers got sick all at once! Power of suggestion maybe… I plug my ears with my fingers and yell LALALALALALALLAALAL really loud so I don’t catch the germs! Hugs & healing prayers coming your way… take it easy. LOL on your Marshal Arts/Pit comment! I had to laugh as when I saw the “instructor” I thought my God he looks like he’s been around the block a few times! LOL I guess there is a big difference in being fit and just being a brute! LOL[/i][font/ book antiqua]

[font face="book tahoma"][i ]JEANETTE - X [/i][font/ book tahoma]
[font face="book antiqua"][i ] http://cptinc.org/Pain_Management.html This is a link to the “cream” that the nerve guy gave me – cant believe it but it really works! Its something you might want to ask your Dr about getting for you and your elbow. ~ On to golf…. Hmmmmm do you think you are “forcing” the swing? Mind you I can only say things that I’ve heard DH grumble about himself after a bad day but these are the most common: I’m thinking too hard: I’m not visualizing the ball doing what I want: I’m tensing up when I swing: I ‘m nt taking the 30seconds or so to prepare mentally & physically for the swing: There ya have it- all my golf expertise! LOL ~ Regardless, I hope you are fully enjoying the experience of conquering something new and exciting. Your new project at work sounds exciting! Good luck & enjoy. CONGRATS on doing all of Imax 2! I know you like to do 30m of this and that as I do- I applaud your mental toughness! [/i][font/ book antiqua]

[font face="book tahoma"][i ]TRACY - X [/i][font/ book tahoma]
[font face="book antiqua"][i ] Must have had a busy day again since we didn’t see ya last night… Hope yoga made you feel wonderful! Are you doing Shiva exclusively most of the time these days? NO CLUE on proximal/distal… If its not written somewhere my head is too full to remember half the stuff they spew! Maybe PT will get more into that with me…. I am amazed at the ROM I have lost in last 3 weeks too… compared to my left shoulder theres at least 6-8 inches less ROM no matter how ya look at it.. scary stuff especially at 44.

[font face="book antiqua"][i ] Now you totally spoiled me by being up so early and conversing yesterday! YES I was reading but had to limit arm use!.... Hope you have already started us out this morning by the time I get this posted! THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED! Huggies to Phil (from far far away) Hope he doesn’t insist on anything that might pass his germs along to you! HA~Did ya get that Plyo done? How could you ever forget that Tuesday is leg fry day? Congrats and good luck on your XX Round… I think you guys are amazing for doing that! LOL on meds… Hey – I could sell then to you for lets say 100.00 bucks a pill! LOL ~ [/i][font/ book antiqua]

[font face="book tahoma"][i ]DEBRA - X [/i][font/ book tahoma]
[font face="book antiqua"][i ] So please share how you really feel about working legs! ROF ~ ^ 5 for sucking it up and getting it done! You go girl!!! I have developed a new passion for leg work these past 3 weeks.. WOW what an improvement in overall tone and definition and keep in mind I am Freestyling it and not using any barbells for weight yet. I am truly amazed – my legs looks great! Now to tackle the mid section poof that wont go away with all my clean eating! ` Hooray on BFF visit again!! How great is her timing… I really wish you were my PT- I think I’m gonna have a hard time lovin’ anyone else who adds to my pain! At least with you I’d know you love me – well that and the fact you can kick my a** if I bitch too loud! LOLOLOL [/i][font/ book antiqua]

(my nickname for Dr Nash!) I told Wendell if the rehab guy hurts me I’m throwing the DB I shall hide & take in with me! ~ So happy to hear you took a pamper day for yourself on your birthday!

Yes- do tell us what are your plans now? Are you convinced that all our CHEAT days that we think we need are purely a psychological barrier? Did you have any lightbulb moments for yourself throughout this process? XXOOXOXOXO I am so happy for you! [/i][font/ book antiqua]

LOLOLO you keep me on my toes that way! Knocking on wood… DH and I have had 1 cold and 1 stomach flu in last 6.5 years… that’s because we have NO KIDS and we don’t socialize with people that have kids and we don’t allow kids into our home except on Christmas!

Hi all,

I skimmed through the thread yesteday, but never had time to post again. Ttom came early and I felt like he$$ yesterday. My back was hurting and I wasn't expecting ttom. I, like Nicole said yesterday, never miss a workout, so I did 6 intervals of LM with the some added squats etc. It was a pretty good workout and I focused on going deep instead of heavy. I slept on the floor last night and my back isn't sore, but it was tight. I just finished Tone and that helped alot.

I hope those of you who are sick or injured feel better soon.

Traci - The dr appointment sounds aweful. You would have thought they would have given you something to stop the spasms.

I've got to go or I'll be late for work.

Tracy
 
Traci - You should have seen the ROM I lost in my hip! I still have only regained about 75%. It is a long hard battle and even minor things seem to tighten it all right back up again.

Tracy
 
Tracy-X
Yep- you sound very busy again! or is it still? Sorry ttom is a bear this time & it snuck up on you. Do you find that even the smallest dietary changes a(e)ffect that?- Sleeping on floor seems like it would get old... I'd run out by ME a mattress and have DH sleep elsewhere if he didnt like it- but SLEEP to me is such a precious thing that I become a bit dominant in that area!
Hard to believe your ROM is still just at 75% with all the yoga and hard work you have so consistently done in your rehab. I'm hoping that by going to a PT that will asist... The Dr told me that there are machines they will use that will get me moving aagin that just cant be done at home.. we'll see.
Take it easy today if you can.
 
Hi girlies! Just popping on to say good morning before heading off to my yoga class. I am planning on a short cardio session this afternoon too. Nothing too hard on the rest of my agenda today. DD gets a haircut this afternoon, and we are going out to eat pizza with a friend tonight. Just a couple more errands I need to run before the end of the day.

Gotta run...bbl for personals!

Good Morning,

Well I survived Election Polls drama yesterday, from 6:30am to 7:30pm and we ONLY had 120 voters. A lady by the name Annette decided to throw a BBQ, can you believe it we had Beef and Brats hot dogs, Sam’s Club Hamburger, grapes, cookies, chips lots of other foods. I got home before 8:30pm and I was dead tired, when my alarm clock went off this morning, threw shoe at it:* no way was I getting up. Back on track tomorrow, restday, Tuesday and today. I will be back later :)
 
Morning Xers,

Rotation: LGI8
Workout: Week4/Day1/XStretch

Tonight I have a hair appointment. Have to dye that grey out of my hair. :D I'm also having her cut off and inch or two. Right now I feel as if it is too long. :) Or I just need to change things up a bit.

Traci, OUCH that does sound painful. x( I agree with you, that is not something I would willingly do again. Thanks for the info on LegX. I would have never thought of doing the workout backwards. Thanks so much. I was looking at doing a rotation of P90X, but doing halfsies. And trying it for about 5 weeks that way. FF through the leg workout would be what I am looking for. Doing Leaner Legs twice on this rotation, prooved to me that I have to work on my legs more. :D Having a lazy dog is great. Our last dog was so hyper, that this is a welcome relief. She is usually wanting to play when I get home from work. And then it is only for maybe 5 minutes. :D

Tracy, Hope things slow down for you soon. :) We miss you. Dang back pain from ttom. Some days I wish I could walk around with a heating pad. :D

Jeanette, I can't give you any advice on your golf swing. Not the sport I am very good at. ;-) Sounds like you had fun with your lessons though. Your project sounds worse than the chemical one. Guess I can't complain when I get my next project. :) You will have no problem with it though.

Nicole, You crazy woman you. Painting for 4 hours, a cold, and ttom!!! I'm thinking more than two MAC trucks where making tread marks on you girl! :D Take care of yourself today.

Cheryl, Glad you had a nice b'day. Where did you DH take you for your b'day? DH and I had a chance on Saturday to go out with friends. We went to a Japanese Hibachi/Sushi Bar. They had some very tasty Martini's. :9

Debra, I love CTX weight work. I find that I can go heavy, because her pace isn't that fast. She does go a bit quick on the tricep work. Have fun at yoga class, and enjoy the pizza.

Amy, Congrats on the stats. You where very dedicated, and it showed itself in your results. So how do you go back to eating regular foods? Do you still incorporate the shakes?

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Good morning,
Today was Slim Series Shape It Up. It's 78 minutes long, but I cut it down to 60 minutes, you know me. May do a short bike ride over to my parents after work today. Carpet is being laid in the offices at work today. Everything is in disarray. Hopefully, they can get it done quickly so the inmates can move our furniture back in and we can get to work.

Debra, sounds like a wonderful day for you. Will you have to work outside the home after the divorce? If so, enjoy these nice days of yours.

Traci, thanks for the link for the pain cream. May have to check into that... Yes, you are probably right about all those golf tips. I'm sure I do force my swing. I need lessons badly, but I'm using this college class because it's cheap. Usually, the instructor helps, but the class is big so I get limited time. He wasn't at yesterday's class so I was on my own. Next year, I may take some private lessons. LOL re: your pups being quiet most of the time. One of our dogs is a German Shorthair and boy was she a handful when she was young. Thought we had too much dog to handle. She started settling down more consistently right before she was 3. Now she's a couch potato a lot of the time and she's 5. When do you start PT? Are you still able to train your clients? Hoping the injury doesn't interfere with that as I know they love you and you love training them.

Tracy, so sorry about TTOM. Another one bites the dust too!!! Amazing how have all started within a week's time of each other. Sorry you are sleeping on the floor. Can you get another mattress? How about the kind that allows a different setting of firmness on each side?

Teddygirl, you made me laugh about throwing your shoe at the alarm. Glad the elections are over. Bet the BBQ was nice.

Laurie, the DUI class will take some work to coordinate for sure. If inmates that are in for DUI's and want to drive when they get out (for getting a job, making drug deals, etc), then they'll definitely want this class. I should be eager to start it up, but just not feeling it right now. Oh well, guess it'll grow on me. How is the LGI8 rotation going? Enjoy the grayless look again and a new haircut.

Jeanette
 
Hi, everyone -

Teddygirl, I'm laughing at my visual image of you throwing your shoe at the alarm. Everybody needs a rest day now and then, girl! Glad you survived.

Jeanette, that Shape it Up can get so boring at 78 minutes. Don't blame you a bit for cutting it back.

Laurie, have fun at the hair appt. We'll want pictures, of course!

Traci, so glad your sense of humor hasn't left you. Yes, I'd definitely take a weapon to that next appointment!! You poor thing. Glad you slept.

The B-day dinner was Mexican - chicken fajitas - my favorite. DH didn't even need to ask where I wanted to go. We enjoyed it.

Today I am finally facing GS Legs!!!! It's been on my list for 3 days now, but I've let other workouts slip in. Can you tell Lower Body is my dread factor?

Amy-the-Swift, you dread LB also???? I would never guess from the musclature of your legs. You are a true inspiration. I'll be thinking of you as I soldier through GS legs this morning.

Have a great Wednesday, everyone!!!

Cheryl
 
SS "Upper Body Blast" (59 min)

Still feeling yucky! I hope I can bust out a few reps today:p Getting redy to take the boys to school but I wanted to say HI first!

Traci-X, Glad I could give you a little laugh:) How was your client last night?

TracyX, I guess we're on the same boat, huh? I hope you get back to 100% fast!

Anointed, Today is a new day, thank goodness for us all;)

DebraX, Pizza?:9 Enjoy the time with friends:)

Cheryl, We're half way there:)

JeanetteX, How did golf go? Did you tell that lady where to go or did she shut her yapper? :)

Off I go! I'll be back:)

Nicole

What is WRONG with me!!!! I never stop to think. I had to show off to Phil last night and do a few more chin-ups to prove I wasn't dreaming. I am so SORE!!! I totally forgot how HARD the X is! And it's only Day 3!!!!!!!! Shoulders and Arms? I have to double check. Playing with coked out Dominique is DONE! Plyo is still tough. Nothing low intensity about it for me!!!! My triceps, lats, chest, abs, hip flexors, and quads are aching. But, I'll be alright! I did this before. I can survive!!! Right?

My DOMS are nothing compared to the sick and injured {{{{Traci}}}} and {{{{Sandra}}}}.

You guys, I don't think I'll do a full round of the X this time. I doubt my dvds will play on any dvd players in Thailand. I could bring my X book and tubes. But I don't know if I'll be able to attach my tube to anything for the chin-ups. Any suggestions? Find a tree with a strong limb? LOL

Gotta open a window for personals.
 
Hi! Not dead, just too busy for my own good.

Yesterday I did SH Back, 10-10-10 cardio, All-Step abs & stretch.

Today was SH Shoulders, MIC hi/lo & cool-down/stretch.

For those of you who don't have all of Cathe's rotations memorized, this is her June '03 rotation. Not sure if I'm going to do the whole thing, or just take it one week at a time. Tomorrow's supposed to be a rest day, but I may do a nice steady-state cardio. I don't like mid-week rest days; would much prefer to do that on Sunday.

TraciX I read about your arm on Monday. Oh my, that sounds pretty serious. I'm sooooo sorry there's so much damage everywhere. I don't even recall you injuring your shoulder last November. Stick around with us now more than ever, please. Let us help keep you motivated during the recovery process.

Okay, gotta go do more things. I have hope to have the various cake pictures posted on Friday.

Hello to everyone!!!!
SandraX
 
It's a small world!!! On one of the homeschooling boards I lurk/sometimes post, I met a first time poster, an American married to a Thai guy living in Bangkok!!!! She was asking about building up a library for her homeschool. Their church is one that is familiar! This might sound hokey, but I ever since the Crazy Asian offered to take us with her, I've felt that God has been bringing about things that I can not see or understand for good. I feel like it's no accident that we're going, that I'm meeting this lady, and visiting their church. Although on the surface everything looks spontaneous, it feels planned and purposeful, like it was always meant to be.

Unlike jumping into Round 2!!!!!!!!!

Now onto Personals!!!!:)

Nicole-X: Are you making friends with the neti pot? Painting is tough! Being sick and painting. Well, at least the fumes won't bother you. Painting might be low intensity. However, moving that brush back and forth, climbing ladders, and all the bending can be taxing! How did SS go today? Maybe, it should have been another yoga week.;-) I have the bamboo steamer and tall pot for making sticky rice. My mother bought it for me ten years ago. I'm just now using it. Usually, I wait for her to visit before digging it out for her to use. Dear, you can still join me in the X. Even if you start two weeks from now, you KNOW how I take extra rest WEEKS. We'll be in sync before you know it! LOL Yeah, Phil's a riot, especially when he enthusiastically serenades me "You're So Cold" whenever the song comes on the radio. I do believe that's our only song! LOLOLOLOLOL

Cheryl: I hope I'm inspiring you to buy Tony back!!!!:p I envy how often and far you voluntarily run. The only time I can fathom running is if I'm being chased!:7 Glad you and dh celebrated your birthday with something you enjoy!

Laurie-XX: Chemicals are a wonderful thing! All 1 gazillion of em. Something to think about when your gray gets washed away.;-) Ask yourself: Are you feeling hormonal? If there is any hint of hormones, don't make any drastic changes. Cutting your hair an inch or two is fine. But, ask yourself the question before an entirely new hairstyle or more than 2"!!!:7 Isn't a lazy dog a beautiful thing! Phil is so jealous when he walks in the bedroom and sees Baby and me lounging on the bed in the middle of the day. He hasn't decided which one of us is more spoiled.}(

Amy: ^^5^^ on the weight and inches lost!!! Do you realize you lost the equivalent of an extremely large newborn!!!:7 Are you concerned about gaining it back now that you're embarking on chewing? Did you notice any loss of energy while on the Velocity diet? LOL on your dh thinking it was hard!!!!

TG: Is Teddyboy afraid of you in the morning? Does he go home at the end of the night to avoid the flying shoe? LOL Glad you had a decent time at the polls. Nice of that lady to have a BBQ for y'all!

Debra-X AKA The Crazy Lady from the North: Loving your life of yoga and a little light cardio!!!! I'm patiently waiting for your masseuse. Until she arrives, I have to use Phil. Yes! I still expect him to pamper me! This ain't no rest home!!!!!}( }( LOL on cleaning house for company. Dh loves company for that very reason! Enjoy the shopping filled weekend!

Tracy-X: TTOM is here!!!! In less than a week, you'll be back to feeling better!!! Congrats for pushing play and bringing it on!!! You're so dedicated!!! Wow! You must need a firmer mattress. The floor is so hard!!! I would have DOMS for days if I tried doing something like that!

{{{{{{Traci-X}}}}} Oh My Lands!!!<-- The geek lady coming out in me! Was your NS a Chinese acupuncturist?!?!?! You poor thing! Did he say that was normal to feel so much pain? Or was he secretly happy he found the bulls eye? I'll be praying for no surgery! If they do have to resort to surgery, what exactly does that entail? Never mind, we're not going to go there. Let's focus on rehab working! They said it should!

Jeanette-X: Mocha CC!:9 Will you adopt me? I'm sure the Crazy Asian will agree to shared custody!}( That's good that the shin is starting to heal up. I was worried when you mentioned it being swollen. Now, take it easy on that elbow!!!!!!!! A DUI program huh? Don't know what to say. Cheers!:+

Hi to Amy-X and Carol!!!! What's up?

Back to my children's future. Scary thought!!!!!

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Sandra,

You sound healthier! I'll have to check out the June 03 rotation and see what craziness you've got yourself into for the month.

Wendy
 
Good Morning!!!

Traci- I am so sorry about your EMG yesterday!!! I had one last year when my pinkie/ring finger started going numb and I can attest....they are NOT fun!!! I was fortunate, though, mine wasn't from nerve damage, it was just from sleeping with a pillow (for Jellibean) under my left shoulder, which got my nerve alignment out of whack. It would have progressed to nerve damage had I not caught it in time....all for the silly cat that loves to sleep on my belly with his butt on the pillow!!!

Wendy- Actually, I'm not afraid of gaining the weight back, because I really feel like they helped me gain control of the amount that I eat (which was a problem!!). I have really noticed, especially the last couple of weeks, that the volume that I can eat has dropped a LOT!!!

To answer your questions about the transition phase, I will still incorporate the shakes for the next two weeks. I start with 3 days of adding 1 solid meal, then 3 days of 2 meals, and so on. When it's all said and done, I will still have at least 1 shake a day (usually pre-workout). Last night's meal was mashed cauliflower, cucumber/tomato salad and oven roasted chicken breast with a roasted garlic rub....YUM!! I know that Dave is glad I'm cooking again!

Everyone else, hugs and I hope that you feel better to you who are sick!

I'm off to the gym for my heavy lifting day. Oh, and Wendy, it's funny how stuff just seems to fall into place, huh?
 
Popping back on to say OMW! Traci, you are sooo funny!!!! I'm dying here. It's funny cuz it's TRUE! Children are so TOXIC! If mine weren't so cute, they'd be far removed and neglected! }( That's okay about the no-kids policy. I don't plan on bringing them to any Xer Trips until they can complete the X. Oh, just because you are on the IL and can't type, that's NO excuse for leaving our little Xer world. If you have to dictate your posts for me to type over the phone, then it is what it is!:p

Amy: How does one catch nerve alignment in time? What do you do to prevent it from progressing to nerve damage? I like how the Velocity diet doesn't throw you back to your devices. It sounds like a smart transition. YUM! Now, I see why Dave found it so hard. I'd be missing your cooking too!!!!!

As for things falling into place.... The passports and tickets have arrived!!!!:)

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!!!!
Wendy
 
Back to say SS double Upper went good. I am so worn out that I didn't do as well as I could have but there's always tomorrow. I am busy making up my own Cathe compendium so I can more easily make rotations. I have the Word version but it's missing some premixes. I am just glutton for punishment:p

WendyX, It's official, now you have to go:) How exciting to have all the passports and tickets set! Maybe you can get a crash course in Thai cuisine while your there. Don't you wish you had paid attention to your mom now?

SandraX, Glad to see your post. I too am a too much on my plate kind of girl. It's usually because I push a lot off as long as I can:p Get better soon!

Off to eat breakfast and start the Nicole's OCD Compendium;) Oh, in between all of this I must organize the boys room:p

Nicole

Good afternoon xers!
Beautiful weather again~ Unfotunately, No workout for me.

WARNING Long story -yesterday after work I go out for my bike ride.

I get 4 miles into the trail ride , that's using the 8 foot wide crushed limestone trail surface, as a warmup.

History lesson of trail;
Farmer/Local redneck has blocked passage of the trail through his property for 15 plus years with huge hay bales, etc. which resulted into this portion of trail becoming a single track. (he passed away 2 mo ago and now the trail council has plans onfixing it). That's another story and no time for that now.

From the crushed surface I ride onto this part consisting of single track through his cattle field.
I'm tearing up the track, watching so I can cross the 10 in. deep tractor tire ruts cutting over the single track, when a huge groundhog wants to get home, runs out of the weeds right to left across the trail in front of me.

I hit the poor thing, I came unclipped and hit the dirt. Thank goodness I wear a helmet. I took a pretty good fall on the head. Bruised hip with road rash up and down right side. The worst is a sore left neck muscle and deep cut on the right knee. Not bad, considering.

I rode back to the van. I was pretty dizzy. A man doing a pre-run warmup is watching me, comes over. Says "are you okay?" I tell him what happend. Ends up he's an ER nurse and does the pulse thing, and eye thing and sits with me while I call mom and she comes to pick me up and take me home.

She sat with me while I soaked the dirt and cinders out of my wounds in the tub and we talked. She picked DD up at the bus stop and fed and bathed her so I could rest.

I slept on the couch for a few hours and I slept good last night in bed. I've been on and off the couch today between laundry, etc..

Overall feeling pretty good. I'm very lucky. So......

Add me to the IL list for a few more days. I'd stick around to chat some more but I need to rest the arm now.

So long for now! I'll check back with you all tomorrow.:7
