Taking it to the Max-- June 2013 thru...

I did 2 because I was interested in the step and afraid of the 1 arm burpees!!

If I get to legs tomorrow, I didn't plan Christmas off, but I should, there will be no time for it! Then I plan on plyo 1, upper circuit and lower circuit. I'm not sure if I will throw a low impact in between the circuits or not...

Wrapping is almost done! Only one more to do by Christmas. I have a Wemmick book by Max Lucado that I want to write in for my nephew. I just didn't have the brain power tonight! And then I have a few but I won't see them until after Christmas...

Night!
 
Ripped with HIIT Low impact hit 2 was perfect workout today! Had to work till 7 so during my lunch we usually have hour but got out 15 extra minutes early so got home did R with HIIT li 2 It is the one uses 8 and 10 pound weight. Was fast enough to get in get out take another shower and back to work. So didn't get home till 8 pm glad I got that in at least
 
hi girls! merry Christmas! thought I would pop on quick as I know tomorrow I probably won't get a chance, and it will be a much needed rest day for me. today was low impact hiit 1 plus abs 2 and a long walk outside with rik and bugsy (the weather has been very mild here, and yet very dreary and cloudy, but I will take it over the bitter cold!). the hiit felt pretty intense on my legs which are totally fried from the legs dvd yesterday. also, more insomnia last night and I got my period *again* which means it came just a week and a half after it ended last! not sure what that is about, but will be happy when I get off b/c entirely. sorry if tmi!

renee-- so glad you got a workout in during your long workday! way to go! I like that one-- seems intense enough but not super insane like the plyo ones!

ladylep-- did you get in legs? how did you like it, if you did? hope everyone is feeling better in your household!

hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow and that santa brings you what you are wishing for!

hugs,

katie
 
I still have not done the plyos yet! I have upper body circuit today and trying to get myself into doing that ! My stomach feels swollen for some reason.. Always something. But I will get it i before bed I do know this!
 
Merry Christmas Eve!! I did get in Legs, but did only the premix with just strength for 29 min. I really liked it. But I wish I had time for all of it it was only 41 min. But I spent the middle of my day in Urgent Care with CDawg got hit in the head with the metal frame that broke out of a canvas box by Little K. The real kicker is B was swinging it around and so when Little K was doing it and it slipped out of his hand and hit CDawg on the top of his head. So I spent 2.5 hrs in the Urgent Care place today! Thankfully it is right next to Kimberton Whole Foods (not Whole Foods Market, that's about 30 min east of us) so I was Abe to get a decent lunch for the 4 of us. JTrain stayed hope alone, ear infection! But I did get vacuuming completed for the down stairs and the hallway upstairs, Little K decided to open a packet of instant oatmeal and a bunch on on the floor! That should have been my a sign if my day to come.

Is CDawg okay now? Stitches? And Jtrain ear infection? Wasn't he sick already and now again? Poor fella! Yes u had a hard day. I am amazed u got in any workout! But that's wonderful you did the weights section!

I did do upper body circuit! It was fun
 
He's ok. He hates needles so that was bad. JTrain got a fever on Friday, was a little better on Sunday, but then we were out all morning on Monday and then out at the doctor's in the afternoon and it was too much for him I guess because yesterday and today was spent mostly sitting or lying done on the couch. :(. I am looking forward to upper body circuit! I'm not sure if I will redo Legs on Friday or just do the blasts or skip it and move on to upper body circuit. It all depends on how I feel and how much time I have as always! I think I'm going to give myself a reprieve from the scale tomorrow. I was up to 169 today! And ate sweets tonight. I may wait until Saturday, since I'll eat a bunch tomorrow and Friday will be recovering!

hi girls! rest day yesterday for me, but today is back, shoulders and bis-- I am not in the mood to do anything today, but will get my rear end moving in a bit anyway!

ladylep-- oh no! what a day! I am glad everyone is okay, but you really have had too much sickness and now injuries on your plate lately! I don't know how you got any workout in at all, so way to go on that! did cdawg need stitches then? I sure hope you all were able to have a nice Christmas with no fevers, etc. I would be afraid to step on a scale after yesterday! I ate okay for meals--miso soup, kale and arugula salad, radicchio salad and a vegan bean soup-- but then had sparkling cider and pomegranate juice followed by way too much vegan chocolate cake (was the best I have ever tasted and so dangerous!). hopefully will be somewhat back on track today, though there are vegan chocolate treats and pb/choc cookies in the house!

renee-- I hope you were able to have a nice Christmas yesterday. I know the emptiness must seem much stronger around the holidays. I especially think of my mom and aunt barb around this time, so cannot imagine missing your Ryan at this time. hopefully your family held you close yesterday and you all had a nice day. <3

better get moving! sitting here is not making it any easier!;)

be well everyone,

katie
 
just popping on to say that I got in LIHI back bis and shoulders plus abs 1. I used the 20 lbs again for concentration curls and then 28 barbell for the finishers. the other weights I used the same as cathe again. wondering if I will be as sore tomorrow as I was last week when it hurt to lift my arms and put a coat on! will soon see...

hope you ladies are having a good night!
 
Quick check in: I did upper body circuit today and it was a killer! I did much all of Cathe's wt but I couldn't keep up with all the HiiT blasts!

Lower body circuit.. I read it was harder then the legs one but I don't know about that. I know I like the leg one better.

Invited to diner with a friend that DH new from work.. But while there my dad was rushed to ER .. He now has pneumonia and kidney problems.. His immune system is weak. I tried to warn them of chemo he was to old for it.. I need prayers for him I didn't want him suffering..
 
hi girls--

renee-- I am so sorry to hear about your dad! I am wishing him health and no more suffering. it seemed like he was doing so well just recently. I hope that he can overcome whatever is facing him right now. hugs and prayers to you and the family.

ladylep-- I did the upper body circuit once after my dvds came, but it hasn't been on the rotation at all yet. I think I liked that one, though! I am not looking forward to tomorrow, which is plyo 1. next week will be even worse, though, as she has you do plyo 1 followed immediately by low impact hiit 2! I think another day next week is plyo 2 plus low impact hiit 1-- I don't know if I will be able to do that, as the plyo hiits are a major challenge for me.

if you all can send some good thoughts bugsy's way, too, that would be appreciated. he seemed like he was walking a little funny on Christmas eve when we were going around the neighborhood, and now today it seems like he doesn't have all the feeling in his back legs?? he seems kind of wobbly on them, and once or twice he just had them splay out slightly underneath him:-(. I am worried about him. yesterday he was running around like a crazy guy chasing his ball and tearing across the hardwood floors-- I am hoping he just strained something and will be better in a day or two, but this is unlike him.

hope you girls are having a nice weekend,

peace,

katie
 
Yesterday we plyo one abs 2, it was a killer! I was eTing ok until we got Chinese food for dinner! General Tso's Chicken and shrimp mei fun. We were out all afternoon, shopping and the final stop was a ski shop where my mom got seasonal rentals for the older boys and new skis for me!! Surprise!! So excited, but before that we were looking at a used foos ball table and Little K held and played with a cat and by the time we got to Springboard Media Apple Specialist store, his eyes were all puffy and red and his nose was runny nonstop. So my mom took the older 3 to get the skis and Hubby and I got some Benadryl. He has been around cats before with no reaction, but we can't figure out what else it could have been...he was breathing fine and since my mom is allergic to EVERYTHING I means he carries around an epi pen, she knew the signs. Then we to meet the rest of them at the ski shop. And I had forgotten to marinate the steak for dinner and had nothing else thawed or ready, so we got Chinese.

But I planned my meals for the week. I'm going to try to do the Turbo Inferno plan again and go back to the 21d containers. I'm not sure which leven I will do the lowest or next one up. By my wt, although I was up to 171.4 yesterday!!!!! :(. I was the lowest category although I haven't put the new wt in the calculation for 21D fix, but according to Max30, if I'm over 150, I am in the next one up anyway. I have a goal with my WW leader to be at 160 by her bday which is Jan 16, but I won't see her until the following Monday night sine that is my meeting day, so that is 3 weeks from tomorrow. The only "event" I have in that time is Nw Years Eve. Here's to a new challenge!

Katie, sorry to hear about Bugsy! Hope you figure out what is going on there! I can't imagine doing to HiiT workouts back to back!! Which rotation is that?

Today going to do circuit lower body, then I will have tried out all but LIHI Chest Triceps Shoulders. That one I've only done a 17 min premix. Has anyone decided on a rotation? I have downloaded the 30 day RWH and XTrain and CF/TTM. Since I did all the RWH workouts, I wasn't in the mood to try the getting started or 1 month with RWH AND this may be the biggest reason: it's not in the workout manager!! Why is that? I chose the only RHW workout rotation that was in there! I will be starting that on Monday, rest days are Sundays. I'm going to commit to it, but also going to allow myself the freedom to do a shorter premix if I want or need to. Or I may quit or pause to do the Jan. rotation! I don't want to set myself up for failure or 'mental' failure if you know what I mean!

Oh and CDawg threw up last night...he thinks it was too much chinese food, but he really didn't have that much....I really hope the stomach bug isn't back! And Little K peed in his bed last night. I didn't put pull ups on him because he had been dry for a week over night and thought he could do it, plus his 6 month younger cousin that was here won Christmas is fully potty trained, poop and overnight and all!! little K will be 4 in February!!! He should NOT be pooping in his pants on a regular basis anymore!! Occasional accidents, yes, every day, no!

hi girls. today for me was RWH plyo 1 and abs 1 plus I added in about 30 minutes of yoga. I couldn't sleep last night-- stomach ache and then worried about bugsy-- but still, for some reason, it didn't feel as awful as it did last time. now, will I be able to add on the low impact hiit 2 without dying next sunday? not thinking so, but I guess I will see!

so, bugsy is still holding his back legs funny. I looked it up online and they say it is anything from arthritis to hip dysplasia to a back injury. I am thinking that it must be an injury or compressed disc as it came on so suddenly and as he is one to run around like a maniac. I don't want to bring him into the emergency vet today as that would be insanely expensive, and money is really tight right now after the holidays, so I may watch him for a while longer. he doesn't appear to be in any pain-- is eating well and going to the bathroom normally-- so I am trying MSM, vitamin C and glucosamine and hoping whatever it is heals w/o the dr visit, but will keep watching closely how he is doing.

thanks for the good thoughts for him, ladylep! it sounds like you all had a busy day and more sickness! no!:-(. so sorry to hear that CDawg puked! and about the peeing-- that is no fun. it is so much work to be a mom! I wondered what the deal was with the rotations in the workout manager, too. I have to put mine in manually. I am doing the totally RWH 60 day rotation. I have not done the circuit lower body, but from people on here, hear that it is pretty intense. renee said she liked the other legs one better, I think.

renee-- continued good thoughts to you and the family! <3

need to go shovel off the car and move it for the snow emergency!

peace,

katie
 
I only got in the first 9 min of circuit lower body, yes only 9 min, fun but not much time so I thought it would be better to do some instead of none!

Katie's, hope you both con hold out until tomorrow for the vet!

I started the RWH and XTrain rotation today so I did Hard Strikes. I don't think I've ever done that all the way thru! It wasn't bad, I did sweat a lot and could only do 4 out of the 5 sit up/push up and after the first set I was on my knees...tomorrow is RWH CUB.

So frustrated with electronics and kids today, I can't even tell you. Those with kids 13 and under, how do you monitor and limit?? Free gaming over here since Christmas and I HATE IT!!
 
hi girls! today was RWH legs plus jivamukti yoga. things have been rough around here:-(. bugsy seems some better today-- he is on an anti-inflammatory plus his supplements, but I still need to keep him still and need to carry him outside each time he needs to use the potty. the worst part is that rik has come down with something-- the flu?-- and has been moaning and groaning about the house since yesterday late morning. it is hard to tell if it is just a bad cold or the flu as he is such a baby with illnesses;). I am hoping that whatever it is, though, steers clear of the rest of us!

I love HS, ladylep! I think I may do that rotation once I finish these 60 days. I am with you on the games! hate the xbox sometimes!

hello renee! hoping your dad is hanging in there and you are having a good start to the week!

peace,

katie
 
Quick update: only 21 min completed of RWH CUB premix 34 min. It's all I had time for.

Katie, sorry you have sickness in your house!
 
thanks ladylep! it's nothing compared to what you have been going through! knocking on wood that rik is the only one with this stuff as of right now, and bugsy's meds seem to be working as he is getting more energetic and it is a major pain to keep him still today. I hope you all are getting healthy!

today for me was back, shoulders and bis. really like the weight workouts in the RWH series!

hello renee! hope you are doing well!
