Good morning ladies!!

Thought I would come say hello to you all before I get my workout started...Low Impact Circuit is on tap for me today..Looking forward to sweating like crazy..

Bot much going on for me today..Probably ending up at the pool for the afternoon..

Be back after the workout!!
 
Hi Kathy it must be a circuit day today as I am also thinking about doing LIC also ;)

Today is the last day of the rotation I started in June lol finally- I know. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/47b20s0.gif

I had extended it due to the fact I had family over for 2 weeks and wanted to finish out the rotation.

Its also our oldest dd's 18th birthday today http://mysmileyz.com/s/birthday.gif and so there's lots going on in our house ....sounds like it'll be a busy one OY!

As soon as I start feeling the caffeine work I'll be off sweating and moving with Cathe & Crew.

Have a great day all!
 
Hey Girls!!!

Good workouts on tap for you guys!!

Kathy: "NOTHING" to do day sounds wonderful! I want one of those!!

Vilma: I guess July is your month for giving birth?? LOL! My boys were all born in September. Funny how that happens.... Happy 18th to your daughter! (What a momentous birthday...what are her plans?)

As for me, my rotation workout is 4DS Double Cardio , which is LIS and HIS combined... I love that workout! Fun stuff!

We had an early morningn so far, I had to get up and meet hubby at the car dealership to pick him up. He dropped off the Durango to get prepped for our trip next week. I JUST finished breakfast, so have to let is settle a bit before I do my WO.

Now let me ask you, is it just me, or does putting a bathing suit on bring everyone down to feeling 'crappy' about their bodies? I swear, i was feeling pretty good, getting "you look like you lost weight" comments at work (twice!!) and actually down 4 lbs on the scale. Feeling my upper body was looking pretty dang good with all this heavy weight work lately too. But yesterday, I put on a bathing suit and looked in the mirror. UGH! Like a pin in a balloon.....i FELT horribly deflated. ... Just wondering if I'm alone?

BBL...

Hi Kathy, Vilma and Chris!!

Vilma, have fun with the birthday celebration! My son is a July birthday, the 28th.

Kathy, enjoy the pool!

Chris, yes, yes, yes!! (to the bathing suit question, that is!) Actually, for me, it's more trying on clothes in a changing room. Yikes! You'd think the lighting would be better or something. Anyway, I've been putting off trying on my bathing suit that I'll be wearing in just a few days on our vacation. I'm probably in better shape than I was last year, but I know it still won't be pretty! You know, though, I think we are way harder on ourselves than others are or we need to be.

Today was Amy's Hi-Lo Knockout. I actually finished the entire thing. About 70 minutes of cardio. Fun stuff. I may try my Dove workouts tomorrow and Friday.

Ta ta for now!!

Joanne
 
Holy camolie! The 4DS Double Cardio was a SWEATFEST!! I bumped up my step to 8 inches too, and felt it kick in way faster and last way longer! }(

and then.... after DE-stressing with a great sweat, I come up to my boys behaving like FOOLS and stressing me out again!!!

Calgon.. take me away!

Chris
 
Wow..Joanne. that sounds like a long sweaty workout too!!!

So I'm glad I'm not the only one with the "Bathing Suit Phenomenon" going on! geesh, I hate it!

Chris
 
Finished the KPC/L&G High Step circuit premix - it was a good one and the time went by so darned fast - I like that!

During the pikes I felt it so much more due to the fact that I was hungry! I'm now enjoying my post workout meal - yummmmm :9
LOL Chris both my girls were due on the same day, thankfully the birthdays are 6 days apart enough of a span that each girl gets to feel its her special day :)

My son is next as he will be celebrating his 16th birthday on September 1st.

Isn't that double cardio premix fun?!



Well I have so much going on today as I just remembered I need to take my son in to get his stitches removed too OY! Busy Busy for me
 
Chris: I sooooo feel the bathing suit thing. I put one on a few weeks ago and thought. Boy, I have a way to go!! And I thought I was doing pretty good! oh well. Joanne is right we are way hard on ourselves...

Vilma: Happy Birthday to your kids..Wow, so close together!! Mine are months apart. January and May!!

Joanne: I have done that Amy workout once. It is a long one. Great job!!

Ok, LIC is done and now we are off to the pool..That is after I get some lunch and a shower..Sweaty mess right now!!
 
Hi Everyone!

Good workouts -- Chris -- 8" step -- I'm impressed. I was supposed to be in sync with you this week, but I'm winging it because of the poison oak. Today I did Amy's Slow Mo back and shoulders. I still can't bend my arms completely for biceps, so I'm saving those for later in the week! It's getting better though.

Vilma, I'm impressed with you finishing the rotation! I would have switched things up if I'd been in your shoes (since if I get off by a day I switch up!)

Kathy, I glanced back through the old posts cause I was so interested in hearing how it was at the firm. If you had much write up on the workout, I didn't see it, but I saw the picture -- so cool! Allie del Rio is definitely one of my favorite firm instructors. I'm envious that you got to workout with her in person!

Joanne, let me know what you think of Dove.

And on the bathing suit front.... I don't wear them anymore. I wear a long-sleeve rash guard shirt and long boy shorts. It's so sexy -- not! But, I had melanoma, so I feel fine about covering up. But I must say, I have been experiencing the deflation while I've been monitoring the poison oak on my belly -- ug! -- it just looks so big and bloated and ugly! Oh well, it's never as bad as we think. Really, I know we're all roughly in the same age bracket, and we look great for our age -- keep that thought in your head!

Oh, Chris, thanks for the good news on the prednisone -- as always, I need to be careful of what I read on the internet!

Oh, and one more thing.... sounds like the forums could go off-line as early as later today -- if you want my email address, I'm [email protected].

have a great day!

About the forums Liann has graciously invited us Catheites to chat over on the forum she made - her info is in the OD thread

Just cut the cake and I was so good that instead of cake I ended up having some yummy berries (raspberries, blackberries & blueberries) instead - I did sprinkle on some splenda :9

I wanting to eat as clean as possible this week and so far so good.
 
Vilma -- way to go on the berries! Sometimes fruit or clean food really does taste better than the junk -- it's just a mind game for us, isn't it?

The forum possibly closing later today was announced to me in mail from the road trip crew -- they wanted us to get any info we'll need for the road trip before it's gone. I sure hope I got everything I need. I'm feeling very disorganized about it at this point.

Back to my laundry and cleaning!
