Morning Ladies,

I'm doing a happy dance right now, FAIRE IS DONE! We had a great weekend, but the after party was lame. :confused: No workout for me yet, and I don't know if I will get one in at all. I'm really tired! :cool: Maybe it would be good just to get yoga in tonight, because my feet HURT. :rolleyes:

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know my DD's enjoyed there time spent in northern WI. Apparently the sun was warmer up there! :eek: At least on Saturday.

Have a great day!
 
Today I did a 6 1/2 mile run and B&G leg and ab premix. Didn't do anything over the three day weekend.

Laurie, glad you made it through another year of the faire. Did you get in your yoga? I was a beautiful weekend up here.

Hi to everyone else hope you all had a relaxing weekend.

Enjoy the day.
 
Laurie - Hurray! Faire is done and your weekends are free again. :) Bummer the after party was lame. Maybe everyone was just tired. I think you deserve some relaxation tonight - whether that be doing yoga or sitting on your butt.

Karen - Great workout today. The weather down here was pretty good. Not too hot but nice.

Hi, Susan and Lala!

Had a very nice, relaxing but productive weekend. The organizing bug hit yesterday and I tackled some areas that really needed it. DS and DH went to the Badger football game on Saturday (only had 2 tickets so DS and I stayed home). DS had a friend over so he didn't mind too much. Went to a ski show last night that some neighbor boys are in. That was fun.

For workouts:

Saturday - Housework
Sunday - BL Cardio Max #1 + Slo Mo Upper premix 30 min.
Monday - Prevention FCF cardio & leg toning
Tuesday - 2 mile walk + crunches

The goal is to do a couple of body parts from PUB tonight and finish the rest tomorrow morning. It's a longer workout than I usually have time for in the morning so I'm breaking it up.
 
Hi Ladies!

Well, this is a late post!:p My weekend was fun. Did not get my workouts in, besides a lot of walking! Walked about 90mn on Saturday and an hour or more on Sunday. Still did not get a decent workout in today, just more walking!:mad: DD has a Powerpoint prepsentation on "her life so far" due tomorrow. So I was digging out photo albums, scanning and altering photos. On top of that she has 2 huge Algebra assignments to do! No Fun! Thank heaven for Ruby! At least I get some exercise with her around!

Laurie, so glad Faire is done fo rnow! Hope you really relaxed!

Karen, I was jealous to read about your 6 mile run!:p Way to go!

Sue, you were a busy lady this weekend! God job! At least you got your workouts in!;)

Sleep well ladies! I have been fighting a sinus headache all day and hope I do not wake up with it!

Susan
 
Good Morning,

I ended up doing a 30 mile bike ride last night also. Good thing there were not a lot of hills. Today I am doing bosu, step or kickbox. I love recovery weeks, lots of cardio.

Susan, hope you are feeling better today and your nose is clear. Good thing walking is so good for you. Our dog would not last that long walking, not his thing I guess. My kids have been bombarded with math homework all week too.

Sue, can the organizing bug come to my house too. It's not me. I have to work on that. Glad your DD and DH got a chance to go to the Badger game. Did she enjoy the band? Nice job with your workouts.

Laurie, are your 1rep max done yet? Are you ready? Just kidding.

Hi lala, hope school is going well. Wish you could help DS in Spanish, not his forte.

DS lost their soccer game against EC Memorial last night. Seems they don't ever win against these bigger teams. How did DD do in her cross country meet Fri.?

DS13 and 11 have their first cross country meet on Thurs. also have another JV soccer game. We will try to get to both.

Have a wonderful fall day.
 
HI! Rough morning, as soon as I opened my eyes my headache was back! :mad: Hate sinus heaches. Think I might have a sinus infection... So, on tap for today is Bootcamp. I need a workout that's tough and incorporates both strength & cardio. I plan to lift heavier and go a little slower to still use the S/H theory. After I am don e with S/H I am planning on doing a major cardio/fat burning month!

Karen, you were a machine yesterday! I'd be exhausted! Way to go!:cool:

Enjoy the beautiful weather! Check back later - Susan
 
Morning All,

Today was Barry Bootcamp Lower Body, and more 1RM's. Will have to get more in tonight. ;) Forgot how tough Barry is for the cardio! :D

Karen, DD didn't do very well in her cc race on Friday. I found out that all she had eaten all day was chicken nuggets! :eek: :rolleyes: So yesterday and this morning while she is getting herself beautiful, I had made up protein smoothies for her. She didn't care for the raspberry seeds in this mornings brew, but I watched her drink it all down. :D She said that it had helped her yesterday, she didn't hear her stomach growl! :rolleyes: She didn't have a good practice yesterday either, because she was thinking way to much about her classes/boys/dehydration (not drinking water all day)/body changing!). She is getting frustrated with geometry (to much reading), so she is talking to her IEP teacher today. Glad she is getting on top of this right away. :)

Sue, The party was at the Brat Stop! I don't know if you have ever been in that place, but it can be depressing just walking in. :eek: WTG on your workouts.

Susan, I had not gotten in a workout for the past four days, so walking is really all I managed to get in too. My 20 min. this morning was a good one. :) Have fun with bootcamp, we where thinking alike this morning but used different instructors. :)

Have a great day
 
Karen - DD loved the UW Marching Band! Talk about a workout. They performed before the game, during half-time and after the game. And with their style of marching with the high stepping, you know they're burning tons of calories. Can't believe you biked last night and still have the energy to do more cardio today! :eek: Organizing is not really my thing but we were forced to 5S at work and it must have rubbed off.

Susan - Hope your sinuses feel better soon. Sometimes working out helps clear things up even though I have to stop and blow my nose 50 times.

Laurie - What a coincidence. I was planning on doing Barry's after a few weeks of the pyramids. Is it the original set you're doing? That's the only one I have. Never got the set with that oval-shaped ball. Have never been to the Brat Stop. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much. ;) Let me guess, a MAN was in charge of organizing the party? ;) I'm guessing that because it sounds like something DH would suggest. :rolleyes:

So my plans to start PUB last night and finish it this morning didn't work. DH came down with a cold so I had to do the chauffeuring, cooking and grocery shopping last night. He didn't sleep well last night either which meant a poor night of sleep for me, too. :mad: Crossing my fingers that he feels better and I'm able to do PUB tonight.
 
Hello,

Today I am going for a run just because it is so nice outside. Probably would have done step otherwise. I can't get my computer to play any premix from my bosu workout so I ended up doing KCM kickbox both segments. Really hard for me to follow. Didn't feel I got much of a workout.

Tonight my DS11 first cross country meet and of course DD13 starting his second year in it. I am so excited to see them run.

susan, how are your sinuses feeling today? Did Bootcamp whip it out of you? Hope you are feeling better.

Sue, how is DH feeling today? Did you manage to get in your workout? Hope you got to catch up on some sleep. Glad your DD enjoyed the time at the Badger game. I'll bet all that marching does burn some major calories.

Laurie, glad you are getting DD to eat properly. I bet she has a lot on her mind. My DD is having problems with Geometry also. She goes in early every morning and tries to get help and still struggles each night. Good your DD is going for help too. When is her next cross country meet?

Hi Lala.

Have a wonderful day.
 
:D Howdy! What a gorgeous day! I plan to get on the elliptical and follow with Pilates. Haven't decided what program on the elliptical I feel like doing yet!

Karen, Yes, Bootcamp kicked my butt and had me feeling better. I still have a slight headache but it's manageable! Enjoy your run and the weather! Hope your kids enjoy their CC meet!

Sue, Hope DH is feeling better. I am seeing a lot of people coming down with this cold stuff. Not looking forward to flu season!

Laurie, my DD is having a tough time in her Advanced Algebra class. The teacher gives about 60 problems a night! On top of all her other homework. She is getting a bit overwhelmed! She wants me to pull her out of the class but she has until the 21st so I asked her to try her best and see how it goes. I personally hated Math classes as well so I feel her pain! LOL!

Hi Lala!

Have a great day- Susan
 
Morning All,

This morning I got in more 1RM's, and I hope to get in some more after work. Yesterday DD12's gym teacher asked each kid what sport they where going out for. DD12 said she would be doing track, and then the teacher asked her why not cross country. So the form is filled out, and DD will be joining the cross country team. :rolleyes: I'm actually happy that she is getting in more exercise. ;)

Sue, You are right on the MAN thing, but it was a man that gave the budget that a woman had to find a place for. Not enough money, and I'm thinking the guy wanted it at the Brat Stop. :rolleyes: I did the newer Barry's, but those other ones are goodies to, and I need to remember those for my STS rotation. Think they will work really well, because they are short but intense cardio. :)

Karen, That KCM workout is something that you have to do over and over to actually follow decently. I also add on the weighted gloves, because I think that helps get a better workout. DD16 will be talking to her math teacher today, one good things is DH is really good at Geometry so I think DD is going to have to endure working with her DAD! :eek: Sometimes they rub each other the wrong way. Poor DH! :p Her next meet is on Saturday morning, and this is usually a course that she does pretty well at.

Susan, Wow that is a lot of problems to get for homework. :eek: Poor kid, hope things get better for her. I was one person that loved math, but not Geometry! Algebra was super easy, and DD16 did really well in that class. So maybe it is in the genes! :eek:

Lala, Hope those students are not giving you a hard time this year! :D

Have a great day!
 
Karen - Yes, I did get my workout in last night. Did all of PUB except for the abs. Went really heavy and pushed myself so I didn't have any energy left for abs. Will try to fit the ab segment in this weekend because it's a good one. Wish I could be outside today for a run or walk. . . Good luck to your kids at the CC meet. Kudos to your DD for going in early for extra help and trying so hard. Some kids would just give up.

Susan - That Algebra teacher is really poring on the homework so early in the year. My kids have hardly had any homework in Pre-Algebra and Honors Geometry so far. (Or at least that's what they tell me.) It's good for your daughter to stick with it though. DD struggled at times in High Algebra last year - and she's a smart kid! I know I struggled at times, too, even though I got As in math. Of course, that was 30 years ago so I don't remember much of it. Hope your headache goes away.

Laurie - My DD and DH sometimes rub each other the wrong way, too so I know what you mean. You're right about KCM. It took me awhile to get her 1st Step Kickbox workout down. I still haven't mastered her 2nd one. Good job pounding out those 1RMs. Are you going to do the BB cardios on the same day as STS or alternate days?

DD had marching band practice last night for almost 4 hours! Felt sorry for her standing on the field at 9:05 with only a t-shirt and jeans on. It was chilly! She said she was fine except for a mosquito that landed on her arm during a time when the band director told everyone to remain as still as possible. She used a trick that one of the kids told her about - flexed the muscle the mosquito was on and watched it explode!

Bob and Brian are doing their morning radio show from our company tomorrow. We get to vote on which exec we want to see put in a drench shower (one of the products we make). In order to vote, you have to make a donation to support the troops. Each dollar you donate = 1 vote. I voted 5 times for someone who is especially deserving (insert evil laugh here). Should be a fun morning.
 
Hi,

Yesterday I ended up doing a 2 1/2 mile run and a workout from cross fit with the jump rope and kettlebell. Short but sweet 20 min workout.

Today I am doing step or BFBM and some floor leg work.

Sue, that is a long time for a practice. I'll bet DD was tired. So the question is who would you pay 5 bucks to see get drenched. Hope you enjoyed your afternoon.

Laurie, neat DD12 is going out for cross country. My DH and all the kids rub each other the wrong way when it comes to helping with homework.

Susan, hope you got to enjoy the beautiful day. Which elliptical program did you pick yesterday?

DS11 took 6th overall and got a medal. Don't know how many people or the times yet but I will let you guys know tomorrow. I didn't stay long enough because I had to get to some of DS15 soccer game. DS13 took 8th overall. 2nd and 3rd place for their school.

Off to take the dog for a walk or should I say a drag one way and on the way back a run.

Have a great day.
 
Hello! Today is probably Circuit Max, but I have not decided for certain! :p I do need to do yard work as well. Hoping to talk DH into mowing for me!

DD came home from school yesterday, sick! Fever,tummy upset,body aches,headache,etc... Still sick today. She's sad cause today is picture day and they have a dance after school that she's missing. Hope nobody else gets it!

Karen, I ended up doing Extreme Heart Rate Intervals for 45mn yesterday. It felt like it took longer than that though! I was pooped! What did you decide for today?

Sue, 4 hours is a long practice! Yikes! Hope you had fun at work this morning!

Laurie, good for DD and soing CC! It'll help her in her track as well! Ya done with those 1RM's yet?;)

Have a great day! Susan
 
Morning All,

More of those 1RM's are done. :D Think I will finish up the rest of them tomorrow.

Sue, I am hoping that the person you voted for gets drenched. :D WOW 4 hrs. is a long time to be out, but I imagine that those bands are the ones that make competitions because of dedication. I have to decided yet how much cardio I'm going to incorporate with the weights. She does have some step premixes that I'm planning on subbing, because I can't do the step anymore. :( So I think that BBC might be a good option for those. ;) Plus doing other instructors will probably help me get through the rotation.

Karen, Congrats to your runners! I just enjoy watching CC meets so much, to me they are exciting. :D LOL about dragging the dog for a walk, that is how I felt this morning. After doggy daycare, Cami has no energy. :D I think she would prefer that I ignore her on Friday mornings, so she can sleep longer. :D

Susan, Sorry to hear that your DD is sick. :( I will cross my fingers that your DH will mow that lawn for you. I am done with all the 5 & 4 star exercises, so I think Saturday will be the 3 star ones. If I don't get the other ones finished it will not be a big deal.

My first weekend free, and I don't get to sleep late. :( But at least I won't be getting up to put on a big dress. I can be in my jeans and t-shirt watching DD16 run in a park! :D

Have a great day!
 
Hi again, ended up doing 1st 3 and part of the 4th circuit of Jillians then had an error on the dvd so I couldn't play it anymore it just kept closing down. I put in Bootcamp from 4DS and did that. Added on the ab from Kickbox 4DS and that was it.

Laurie, have fun watching cross country. I will be watching basketball for DD6, soccer for DS15 and Flag football for DS11. Also will be getting ready to have the teen youth group at our house in the afternoon. 25 teens running around then a bon fire.

Susan, did you end up doing circuit max? How is DD feeling? Are you getting anywhere on your yard work?

Off to drop off some aluminum cans, maybe about $20 worth. Hey, every little bit helps.

Have an enjoyable day and weekend.
 
Hello!

Nope, no CM yet. Came home from work not feeling too great. Headache, bodyaches, tired... I think I am just going to do some Pilates (or take a nap!);) I still have to go out and get some yard done before DH gets home. He did say he'd mow for me.:D I also have to run to the library and the grocery store yet...

DD is feeling a little better but still has a fever. Her tummy is a little better but her head still hurts. At work today at least 5 teachers told me they were not feeling well! Something is goin' around!

Sorry your DVD wasn't working right. Stinks when that happens! As for the aluminum, that's something else I need to go do too! Maybe I'll finally remember when I head into Oshkosh tomorrow.

DS has his first FB game tomorrow morning then I'll run errands. I need to prepare for Sunday School too which starts on Sunday. Otherwise I have no plans! Oh, got to watch the Packers destroy the Bears on Sunday! ( I hope!) Hopefully whatever I am feeling will be gone with a good nights rest!
 
Hope you feel better Susan. Relax when you can and take a nap. I hope the Packers smear the Bears also. Enjoy the football.
 
Karen – There are several people I’d like to see get drenched but 1 more so than everyone else. She has a reputation in our department for being difficult – and well-deserved at that! Funny about dragging your dog on a walk! LOL

Susan – Aw, that stinks that DD is going to miss picture day and the dance. You should rest up yourself.

Laurie – Good plan to incorporate other instructors into your STS rotation. Enjoy your first weekend free of the “big dress”. ;)

Well, the person I voted for got drenched – along with a bunch of other people. Almost all of the execs were forced by the crowd to do it. One guy closed the door and started stripping! First he threw out his pants, then his shirt and finally his skivvies. He emerged from the tank with a wetsuit on he had under his clothes! It was pretty funny. Another guy brought shampoo and washed his hair. It was a fun morning. Didn’t get much work done and then I decided to take the afternoon off to get a start to a busy weekend – and get my workout in that I skipped this morning in lieu of sleep.

Just finished Step Fit with is one of my favorite step routines.

Off to get things done! Have a great weekend everyone.
