Good morning Ladies!

How are we all doing today? It is going to be Hot and Humid here today in NE PA but tomorrow and Sunday promise sunny days and lower humidity! YAY!:7

My family reunion is tomorrow. I completely forgot about it.
I'm looking forward to it tho. I am finally starting to enjoy myself around people, for all those years I drank all I did was flit around like a social butterfly and never "really" talk to anyone. And then the 1st few years I did quit drinking, I was MISERABLE because I was the only one not drinking and didn't feel like socializing. But since finally accepting my disease and learning what to do to live life that's all changed and I actually look forward to social settings and get togethers,and "really talking and listening" to people.
And today I know drinking is not good for me. It's that simple. I am a better person w/o it. And the fact that I'm getting in shape (finally) is just the icing on my cake (that I refuse to eat)!:7 LOL

I'm off to do BodyMax. I'll be around the house all day some cleaning, out by the pool. So I'll be checking in. TTYAL.

Good Morning Kali.

I have to take Joey to an 8:45am doctor's appointment for a check up so I can't hang around here very long this morning, but I'll be back later for sure! I'm addicted to these forums, you know! :p

Hope you have a good time tomorrow at the reunion. Sounds like tons of fun. I wish my family would do something like that as there are several relatives we don't see much at all so that would be a nice thing...

Out by the pool again today, ey? :p

Today is cardio day...the gazelle and 30 minutes of something else...ctx, or a premix of another work out. It will be a mild work out. After the Viper I deserve it! As do all of the Boot Campers! }(

I am tempted to make sunday my rest day instead of saturday this week so that I can try another Terminator w/o tmrw and then rest on sunday so that I can be fresh for f/body weight work again on monday...I'm thinking Imax extreme this time. The Gaunlet sounds the scariest of the 3 so I will save that for last! :p We'll see what I have planned for tomorrow...so far my day is wide open.

Okay, well I must run for now!

TTYL!
 
Hi everyone

I finished my opinion for the judge!!! so excited - I'm headed to the courthouse today to review it. now all that's left is revising it and packing!

I bootcamped it up yesterday. it felt good although my core is still a little weak for to do all reps in some of those core exercises.
Today I was scheduled to do cardio & weights but I don't want to do 2 circuit w/os in a row and I've been doing some intense stepping this week so I think I will just do All Step and Supersets.

What do you think of the Extreme dvd, Wendy? I love the Intensity series itself, but do not have the compilation dvd.

Kali, have fun at the reunion. You should be so proud of yourself for living a healthier lifestyle.

Jessica
 
Good job on your opinion Jess!:) Have fun doing Allstep and SS. They're both fun except for those damm explosive lunges. Hate them hate them hate them.

I just did BodyMax. I did the cardio and then upper body & abs. I was just not in the mood for those drills. I guess I'm pooped after Bootcamp yesterday. That is an awesome w/o though. Maybe tomorrow I'll do PowerHour before the reunion. I've only done the Fittv version so far but at least I have an idea of what's going on. BodyMax threw me a curve there.:eek:
How's Joey doing Wendy? Everything good? How old is he now?
Those Terminator w/o's sound awesome. I'm thinking of getting them myself, but I'm starting to incorporate some Freestyle in w/ my cardios next week and see what happens w/ these thunder thighs.x( I used to do the Buns of Steel 2000 collection which was 20 min. cardio then toning and that worked for me but the wo's need to be longer. So I was thinking cardio and then alternating PLB & L&G's w/ really light weights and see what transpires.

Have fun girls. TTYAL,
Kali
 
Hi, ladies!

No workout yet for me today as I had a job interview this AM, which would be a local position and get me out of the constant-commute mode. That would be great, sigh. It went really well but I won't hear anything for a couple of weeks, so I will just not think about it! lol

I am doing StepBlast later (Thanks, Wendy!!!) and very psyched about that.

Kali, I know what you mean with the drinking thing, it took me a long time to realize why I drank so much at social events. I am pretty uncomfortable in crowds and then I would have that whole internal "I'm not good enough" tape playing, ugh. It was a startling realization to sit there and recognize the thoughts and make an effort to stop them. Very enlightening. Have fun at the reunion tomorrow!

Jessica, are you clerking right now? And you keep saying you're moving, so does that mean you got a job in a firm? I have a good friend who clerked until January of this year and got a job with the DOJ. Very cool, but he said it is very different....

Wendy, you're so funny with those Terminator workouts! At the rate you are going, you will lose those preg pounds in no time... let us know how you like the other workouts!

Hope you all have a great day!

Cheers,
Marie
 
My work out is done. Ofcourse, I changed my mind again! LOL I wanted a change so I went for a Firm work out instead. I did Super Cardio Sculpt.

I really would have preferred to do Max Cardio Burn but it's a vhs tape and the way my vcr/tv are set up I have to switch the cable wire between the tv and the vcr for the one I want to use. It's been hooked up to the tv since I started using Cathe pretty steadily and is a pain to switch so I nixxed MCB. Maybe another time...It would have been a harder work out too.

Here's my HRM stats for Super Cardio Sculpt.

Cals: 292
Avg hr: 127
High hr: 152

Not bad. Fit the bill for an easier work out. Much better results than I got with the Gazelle too. I pumped up the work out by adding impact where I could if there was none and by adding arms where there were none. It was good for a change. :)

Marie: I'm like a kid with a new toy when I have new work outs to try! I gotta use it right away!!! lol :)

TTYL!
 
so today I feel like Wendy b/c I decided to switch up my w/os. instead of all step and ss i did kpc and the first half of L&G. I have to admit I am not crazy about KPC, I kinda remembering feeling that way last time I did it but I thought it was just because I was getting back into working out. however, i had to push myself to finish the video. I just cannot get into that workout.

alas, i sweated and got some leg work in.

Marie, I will keep my fingers crossed that you get that job. as for me, I was an extern for a federal judge this summer. I am beginning my second year of law school in august. i transfered schools & SO got job in st louis (which is where we both are from) which is why I am moving. speaking of which, nothing is packed yet. however I have a bunch of boxes put together and it looks like i will spend my friday night packing. how exciting!

Have a good night, everyone!

Jessica
 
Kali,

Sorry I didn't respond to your post sooner. :-(

Joey is doing great. He is just over 2 months old now. He is pretty much sleeping through the night on a regular basis now. :7 For him to get up before 5am anymore is RARE! It's WONDERFUL!

I just checked out your picture trail. You are all gorgeous! I noticed your great tan from sittin' by that pool of yours! :p

Have a great saturday!:)
 
Hey Kali,
Where are you in NE PA. I am going to visit my family up there today. They are near the Scranton/WilkesBarre/Clarks Summit area.
 
I am coming from BlueBell which is near Lansdale on the NE extension. I get off at the Pittston exit to get on RT.81 N. I will be staying with my Mom in Dunmore. Think we are going to shop at SteamTown or Viewmont today.
 
I am familiar w/ Landsdale. We are not too far apart at all! If I didn't have my reunion today I'd swing by the mall just to say hello and meet you! (if you wanted to of course) We won't be back till about 6pm. We're going to ShadowBrook resort which is Tunkhannock I think. Did you grow up here?
Kali

Yes, I grew up in that area, near NayAug Park. Used to go swimming at Gouldsboro, Tobyhanna and Wallenpaupak lakes. I know where Tunkhannock and ShadowBrook is. We will have to catch up some time!
 
That would be great. I would love to meet in person. I grew up in Old Forge and then moved to Pittson when I got married. We'll have to make a plan soon! Marie that checks in here lives near me too!
Maybe we'll have a Cathe PA party!
Kali
