Morning Ladies ..

The wedding was beautiful .. at this plantation .. w/an old fashion horse and buggy .. the bride was soooooooo beautiful!! The father (an old family friend) was so nervous .. he was too funny! When we left the house my team was ahead 14 to nothing .... by the time the wedding was over (it was LONG) the end score was 17 - 18 OUR LOSS .. :(:mad::mad: ... DANG IT . . so had many rival team fans there and they were rubbing it in BAD .. they barely pulled off a 1 point win themselves .. but were letting us have it for loosing by 1 point!! :mad::mad: SSSOOOOOOO .. I sucked it up and partied on .. the band WAS AWESOME .. OMG .. we danced and danced .. think we got home around 1:00 a.m.!!! :confused:

And yesterday b/c I was dancing in high heels on concrete .. I woke up w/my bad knee is KILLING ME :mad: .. could feel fluid .. and is painful to get up .. and gets stiff if I am still .. I popped the ibuprofen to it .. and iced it a bit .. so Wendy .. I am feeling your pain w/the knee PIA pain!!! Wendy hoping the laying off of the knee and lower body work will do the trick!! And you can tackle the race head on!!:)

Ang .. I bet Maggie caught the frog and he peed in her mouth!! B/c our dogs do that .. they catch the stupid frogs and the frogs pee in there mouth to get away .. they drop the frog and start lathering at the mouth (which Buster usually STOMPS the poor frog to death after that) .. but it does make them sick .. not sure on the breathing difficulty .. could have scared her .. ??? ...maybe that is all it was though!! there were no bees around .. did she get stung .. my babies are HIGHLY allergic to bees!!

Dee Dee .. I never got to sign up for the net classes ... but I am for sure going to .. sounds like fun!! And how lucky you are to have the creator of the program to take from .. AWESOME!!

Jen - casino weekend .. we LOVE to go to the casinos .. in fact we may go this upcoming weekend to Biloxi .. if we are not deep sea fishing!! They had a piece on GMA about that casino in CT .. said they have taking a 30% decline hit in patronage .. due to the economy and gas prices .. imagine all of them have .. I know the one in Biloxi has been sending us offers and special gifts ..etc .. bribing us to come back .. LOL!! I do have a good time when we go!! Glad you had a gettaway weekend!!

Shirl .. how was the Chihuahua movie?? It looks so cute .. I want to see it!!

Jacque .. glad the wedding was fun .. I too saw some people I have not seen in YEARS .. it was nice getting together .. I really was dreading it .. but when I got there it was SO MUCH fun. Funny the groom .. came up to me and said .. "you probalby don't remember .. but I used to come w/my mother to your exercise classes .. I was the kid in the back" .. :eek: YIKES .. I am OLD!!! crap .. thanks kid!!:confused:

Anywho .. not sure if I can make a lunch w/o have some errands that HAVE to be done ... tonight's class will be circuit probably .. if the knee holds up .. if not I may do what Wendy is doing and pull off an upper body killer class (class hates when I do that) .. LOL!!

Gotta jet .. have a great one .. and great sweaty workouts!!:D
 
Hey Girls!

Quickie check in for right now. I did CC # 4 on the EXT after work today. Felt good. Knee was stiff this morning but loosened up as the morning progressed. It's still a wee bit painful but I didn't have any problems during my work out. Had trouble doing the standing quad stretch though. Came home and foam rolled for a few minutes before hitting the showers. It feels pretty okay right now. I'm gonna try to remember to ice it this afternoon sometime.

BBL for personals!:)
 
Hey there ladies !

I didn't get back for personals but DID do my KenpoX. I liked it except right at the end of the workout I heard (and felt) a pop in my upper hamstring !:mad: So I stopped right there with only a few minutes of the workout left. Was sweating very nicely !

Was tired this AM and ended up staying in bed and then iced my owie hammie. Thought I might try my C & B after work tonight to see if I have more energy for pull ups in the evening. Used to have good weight workouts later in the day so we'll see . . .

Going crazy at work today - will try to get back to do some personals.

If nothing else, between all the aches and pains in contrast to the fun we are all having - at least we keep on truckin' huh? :p
 
Sunny: YAY for the 1 pound weight loss! That's awesome!

Laura: Sorry 'bout the knee. My knee is getting better thankfully. Hopefully yours will straighten out quickly as well. Glad you enjoyed the wedding.

Jacque: Sorry about the hamstring! I hope it's not serious! If you are not up for pull ups tonight, why not sub in the band work instead?
 
Hola girls

Finally we have some sun!:D Today was an early day at work and then got home early to do Squeeze in lieu of YogaX. I hate that workout just about as much as yoga. LOL! Tracy just grates on my nerves and she has NO rhythm!:mad: But, she does know how to make the muscles scream without increasing the heartrate. My shoulders and butt are sore.

Jen - What a fun surprise from BF! That's awesome. Glad you had a fun and restful weekend....can't ask for much more than that with a weekend eh? I LOVE my sleep too!;)
Have fun with CoreSyn today.....I have that one on my list for tomorrow.

DeeDee - Glad RCR is working out for you. Congrats on that weight loss!

Laura - The wedding sounds like fun. Wha?? You're getting injured without a dancing pole? What's up with that?;):p Hope that knee starts cooperating with you.
Yup, we have bees. Interesting about the frogs....I did not know that. I'll bet that's what happened then. I think the breathing thing was just her trying to vomit. It scared the begeebies outta me! I was watching her extra close last night, but she is back to her old self. Whew!!
Be nice to your class tonight.... Ya right!:eek:

Wendy - Glad the CC w/o went well. Hopefully the knee holds up.

Jacque - Oh no! I hope the hammie will be fine. Are you a foam roller girl? Maybe that will help.
Hope work gives you a break so you can take care of that leg.

Hi Shirl and Di.:)

Gotta go figure out what's for dinner. I'm sooooo hungry and really shouldn't be. I think Squeeze burned around 175 calories. *lol* Not exactly a Tony workout but it is very Yoga-like IMO.

I'll try and check back later. Have a great night girls

ANG <<<<<You're getting injured without a dancing pole? What's up with that >>>>

OMG .. ROTFLOL!!! OH thank GOODNESS there were no poles involved ... it would have been MUCH worse .. . LOL!!! OUCHIE!!! Nope chaulk this up to high heels .. old age and a bum knee! My dancing queen days may be over ... nnnnnaaaahhhhh ... never!!! We danced ALL night.. and DH usually NEVER likes to dance .. but the "old gang" was there .. and were all cutting up so he figured what the heck!! :eek: I was calling him John Travolta all day yesterday .. LOL!! I knew he had had too much when he broke out into a jazz split on the dance floor .. I about spit out my drink laughin!! LOL .. so at that point I knew partaking was over for me .. so I was a good girl (uuummm sort of) .. ;)!!!
 
Well the best laid plans: not much energy this afternoon (and I do believe it has been my eating habits this weekend!) so only went through C&B once. Added a couple reps to a few exercises and matched the others. At least not much discomfort in the ab areas today - will get some good sleep tonight and head back for the AM workouts. Not sure about this program for me - will see at the end of the week if I am really making much progress. Next week will be "rest week" then I'll be going out of town a few times so may not get in AM workouts - or any depending on where I am heading. Could be some late nights too. I shall put it out of my mind for now so I don't jinx myself, but am honestly tiring of the back portions of the workouts. :confused: Don't mind the rest of them.

To catch up with yesterday and today:

Dee Dee – haven’t made it to the website yet but sounds like the metabolic effect will be a good change, huh? I keep eyeing the track/stairs workout you are mentioning – I am such a homebody and don’t have any workout buddies (in the flesh that is! ) so may do it one day when I need to get outta the house ! LOL! Congrats on the RCR weight loss ! You musta upped the pink Barbie weights !;)

Shirl – so how was the movie? Do tell as I love animal movies ! And the standard Disney cartoons too: Ice Age, Ratatouille (sp.?), etc. Think a live doggie flick would work for me !

Wendy – Doggone knee, someone needs to “knock some sense” into it, huh? Good to hear the knee cooperated to an extent - DON'T FORGET TO ICE TONIGHT !;) I did use the bands for the second back workout the 1st week - have a hard time getting a good burn in my workout room as I don't have enough room to really get far enough from the doorway. May just work my way into the room across the hallway on Fri for my 2nd back workout this week.:D Thanks for the well wishes on the hammy - I can feel it if it gets stretched a bit but not really pain. Glad I stopped right away and didn't push it.

Jen - How absolutely cool for you this past weekend. Lovin' it that we all had some grandiose times ! LOL at taking your YogaX - I do the same but very rarely ever get around to it !:eek:

Laura - sounds like such a cool wedding you went to. The one I went to was at one of the California missions (all CA kids study the missions in the 4th grade and have to make a model of one of them.) They are older than the state and quite neat - Spanish style but the properties are very desert like since that is what our state was before it was inhabited. (OK - done with the history of CA lesson for today!;)). Then the reception was across the street from the beach - at an Embassy suite hotel - posh, but nothing like what you described !:) I danced with my DS's for over an hour and was a sweaty mess too ! I actually felt my Legs & Back DOMS while "going low" to keep up with the song (I'm too old to know it but the boys were gettin' down too!). I wore some spongy sandals so didn't feel too bad the next AM. Sorry to hear your knees took a toll from all the fun ! I'm the same way when I think of how old the bride was and that I have known her since before she was born ! Oh well, think of how much wiser we are now ! And still in great shape !:eek: LOL about DH cutting it up on the dance floor. I myself was amazed at one of my boys - couldn't believe what he was doing since he used to be quite uncoordinated at dancing. :p

Angie - Squeeze, huh? Don't have any Tracy workouts - does she require you to "squeeze" your muscles thus the soreness without burning cals? Thanks for the hammy wishes too ! Don't have a foam roller but you made me think I may go get a tennis ball and roll around on that before icing.;) Dogs and frogs, huh? Guess it isn't a very happy combination from the discussions lately. Glad Mags is back to normal today. Just hate it when you don't know what the problem is. . .

Think I am caught up - sorry it took so long.

Sure hope to hear from Diane soon ! We miss you but are glad you are OK and sounds like you are enjoying yourself with your family.

Until tomorrow !
