Good morning,

I am back to get us started:p

I answered personals in yesterdays thread!

Have a fantastic workout and day, everyone! BBL to report my workout!:eek:
 
Morning!
Belinda, hope today is a great one for you. How's your sister doing?
Just finished that blasted report. Well, not really. There are a couple of pieces of data I need to get, so I'll have to squeeze a trip to the office in between running around to meetings to get the info before submitting the report.
Welcome Gianna! Glad you came to join us. I was hesitant to come of lurking at first. Were you? What's your favorite type of wo?
Now off to do a pilates/gliding dvd. It's so humid already!

Good morning Cookie,

you are up early:eek: Hope you get your report finshed. My day has to start getting better, right?:eek:

Hallo and welcome Gianna!:eek: Glad you joined out group. I amost didn't know what Cookie was taking about:rolleyes:, sorry I missed your post the day before yesterday. Had way to much on my mind. I wasn't thinking straigth. I alos straggle with my diet, been eating clean (except yesterday) for a few days now. Last year or maybe a little longer? I did BFL!

Ok, I went for a run outside! It was hot but still a nice breeze! I ended up doing CCV 1, went for a nice easy run, just a few sprints:p I burned 498 cal. Now I am fried! I will get a nice stretch in today, not sure if I wonna do SM or TBS? Maybe I will go for the sorter one, maybe not? I have to clean my house today, because we are leaving for Nuernberg on Saturday. We are coming back Sunday. Tomorrow is a town fest here in Grafenwoehr, DH has to go. And on Sunday we are going to Eschenbach for another town fest:p Germans love to party! My DH has to go to all these events (it's not breaking his leg either:p), to keep the German/American relationships! I do have to admit, they are always so much fun. Germans come to the American events and Americans come to the German events.

I will not be back until my house is clean:p See you later!
 
Back again! Is it too obvious that I'm procrastinating getting out the door to work today?
Belinda, it is hot and humid here. Actually much more humid than hot. Enjoy all your parties? Why are there so many scheduled now? Is there a holiday?
The pilates/gliding wo was good. Especially since one could break a sweat just breathing with this humidity. I need to incorporate more stretching into my routines. Plus, last week I pulled a calf muscle and it's still bothering me. Yesterday I broke another tooth. Never should eat carrots. I've never heard someone breaking a tooth eating a cookie. I'm just falling apart.
Cookie
 
Cookie, looks like you and I don't get anything done today, hah?:p Glad you liked your pilate workout. I can't believe you broke your tooth eating a carrots? This doesn't sound like fun, I feel for you. Did you go to the dentist? Sending you lots of healing vibes for your ankle! Take care, poor thing. No holidays! Just party on after the other. I think, it also has something to do with the weather. It's nice outside, this events are all outside. Last week, was an open air in Nuernberg, all you brought was your (food if you want) bring a bottle wine:p and a blanket. The concert was free! My sister told me, it was an Italien night. My DH had to work the next day and the drive is over an hour. The concert was until midnight! Maybe next time. I am excited to go to the one on Saturday. Even growing up in Nuernberg, I never went. There are so many:eek:
 
Morning...and drinking my java,mmm

Welcome Gianna! I too misss your post the other day. sometimes we get so busy the last couple of post of the day don't get read:confused:. I understand that you doing a mix of STS and BFL...cool! I never did purchase sts but i did a 3month rotation of BFL along with Belinda...it was awesome! I think we all here struggle with our diet,so your in the right place! Nice to meet you and i hope to see you check-in here soon!:)

Cookie-sorry to hear about your tooth, i didn't know carrots could cause someone to chip a tooth:confused: also sorry to hear about your calf muscle. Im sending your healing vibes. After doing stretch max yesterday, i think i too will start adding in stretch workouts on my rest days,or even after a workout. Im sure it will help us with the injuries too.

Belinda-party girl:p;) Can i come? I love to party too!!!! Awesome job on your run today...

Today my rotation calls for MIS back,shoulders,biceps then abbs. I love this rotation:D

Good morning girls,

I too am having trouble getting anything done today. I took today off to pack, clean etc . . . but other problems are taking up my time:mad: I'm off to Walmart 1st. I have my step set-up and some Cathe step DVD's to practice. Nothing like waiting to the last minute . . . I haven't done step since the last road trip:eek:.

Belinda - Boy are you the party girl this weekend:D:D Have fun. I hope they have food you like there:)

Lori - Sounds like DS is keeping you real busy, but at least you get your runs in for sanity. I was picked to kiss Shamu at a show in SeaWorld (through glass though:eek:).

Amelia - Enjoy your MIS workout & java too!!

Cookie - If it makes you feel any better I broke my front cap on a chocolate "Barney pop" it was a scary site. I hope you get everything done & can't wait to meet you tomorrow:)

Hi to Trish & Iris.

Gianna - What a pretty name & welcome!!

BBL, Have a nice day:)
 
Workout done as planned, I also added on a 30minute powerwalk. It was a nice workout. Burned 430 cals in 65mins.

Hey Debbie, i hope your day becomes less hectic:confused:
 
Belinda, the party girl, did you get your house cleaned? Mine went from being spotless last Sunday to looking like a whirlwind went thru. A couple of sons visiting and the daughter comes home, and the house got trashed. Enjoy the celebrating. Are you bringing your own wine?
Amelia, I love my first cup of coffee. Isn't it great? Have you always drank it? I drank tea until I had my second son, after the third I started drinking other liquids.
Gianna, what did you do today? My DD had a good friend with your lovely name. Unfortunately, she moved away.
Lori, is your son holding you back? Maybe you should get him a little toy computer. Do they make something like that?
Trish, how is the party celebration coming along? Perhaps you should have Belinda help you out. She seems to know a lot about parting. Did you get a wo in today?
Iris, I'm getting worried about you.
Deb, any hidden rules I should know about on the RT? Like something people bring that isn't listed on the packing list or anything like that? I decided this afternoon I'm gonna have her sign my Terminator dvd. Then it will really be intimidating.
OMG, I am so excited about meeting Deb and Cathe tomorrow!!! My family thinks I am crazy. I couldn't even mention it to any of my friends or work. Well, I tried to the secretary, but she was like you mean you don't know these people except thru a computer... Let's just say I didn't bother telling her we know each other thru our conversations about everything in life, including fitness. Since she's not into fitness, I decided to switch the topic.
I had to switch my hair appointment to next week in order to do another work meeting. So my hair is looking like a wild woman - it is so frizzy. My sinuses decided to have empathy for Belinda and are stuffed up.
Okay, gotta stop babbling and start cleaning up here, cook dinner, and start packing.

Hey Girls!

Todays workout was a 18.4 k run:confused: in the heat! There were also alot of hills but they don't really bother me! My friend on the other hand was lacking in energy but she did run 26k on Sun while I only did a measly 16k;)

Belinda** I can't beleive that you were getting up while the rest of us were just going to bed! I must have posted just before you started your day! I was sooo lazy when DS woke me up at 8. I had trouble getting back to sleep but I did until 10'ish. Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned!

Cookie** I dunno, if I bought DS a toy computer he would probably throw in at me:rolleyes: If its sunny, he wants to go right outside. Its almost as if he is bursting with energy as soon as his two eyes open. He as bit of a temp tonight though so he may be low key tomorrow. Im sooo jealous about the RT!!!!

Gianna** I to missed your post. I was a faithful checker inner:D but haven't been on the ball lately. I gotta keep with it...these gals keep me on track!

Ameila** Refresh my memory, what rotation are you doing again? Im looking forward to starting something new. I may do another FF rotation this fall.

Deb** Did you sell your house? I HATE packing...I think I hate unpacking even more actually.

I think I have caught up with personals. I am back to work again and have a flight very soon....right when I want to watch Y&R!

Lori:)
 
Thank You For WARM Welcome

Hi Everyone. Thank You For the WARM Welcome. New to forums in general, so hope I am posting this to all.......

Cookie - YES I was hesitant in joining, but I NEED the accountability & support from like-minded (Fitness....Health,..Cathe Followers) individuals. I am feeling tired today, only 4 hours sleep, but after reading everyone's posts - I am determined to stick to my wo plan for today - Cathe Intensity Series - Bootcamp - I can see the benefits of this forum already.

Love weight training, cardio - like to run. Can't wait for STS Cardio for variety. I train at home, run on the Sport's oval in my neighborhood - new for me.....used to run indoors on the treadmill. I am enjoying the change.

Amelia & Belinda - Were you very pleased with your BFL results? I was concerned about the weight training, as my body responds quickly to weights and I do tend to bulk up. NEED TO SHED THE OUTER JIGGLE, otherwise the bulk beneath makes me look BIGGER. DH gets paranoid I will look like a guy. Little support from him in the wo category.

Belinda - Do you LOVE Germany? How long have you been there? Get the impression you are a ex-pat there? My 14 yr old is applying for an exchange program to Germany - has been studying German for 5 years. She is excited, I am a bit nervous.......but won't stop her from going. It is for 3 months.......big step to let my baby go that long.

Lori - 18.4k run?!?! How inspiring!!!! My 5k runs would be a warm up for you. I started running with intervals on a treadmill....and have recently ventured into steady state to increase my distance/time. Found the right tunes on the ipod to be very helpful.

Those of you attending the Cathe Road Trip....I wish I could join you. I need to time a visit home to the US with a future Cathe Road trip. Must be so much fun - great way to get motivated & stay there.

Well, have probably went well over the limit on the length of my post. Off to Bootcamp for now. Thanks again for you kind words........& Make the most of your day.....you can't get it back.
 
Back again!
Gianna, glad you joined us. Are you living in Italy now? My DD just returned from three wks travel in France, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. A whirlwind experience. I missed her a lot, but being busy really helped the time to pass.
Deb, I pm'd you.
Okay, where's everyone else? What's going on?
