X Team! Glorious Friday

Just ordered 10-min trainer (delux package) !!! Looking forward to those.

Welcome home Jeanette!!! Sounds like you had to "work" to get back- so glad you're safe...BTW- Didnt your mama teach you anything? Its ALWAYS the mirrors!;-)

Working this morning - then have Backside Upper again - I'm doing a bit lighter version since its the 2nd time this week..... PP (pull only) THANKS SANDRA! + ME ...So this is Back, Posterior Delts, Triceps, Wrist Flexors (THANKS DEBRA!)

The boys going to bay today & I'll try & go after my 2 clients tomorrow but my plans may get de-railed...I go from 7:30-11 tomorrow w/ clients + I want to get mine done & I may not feel like a 2 hr drive for just 24 hrs after that...We'll see.

No nap yesterday...Just too much to do & I waited to long - Did sleep fairly well last night but the old bod is tired - I can tell the long stretch of insomnia is taking its toll- inside & outside...Another reason to actually go to bay...I sleep really soundly there - just not enogh to do to keep me from it....

JEANETTE
So sorry Gramma is struggling a bit... Its my understanding (from Hospice training) that diminishing appetite, or at the least an irradic (SP?) one is very normal as we hit those older years. Its nothing to be concerned with (except seeing it). Ive been told to think of the appetite as a cycle of life- When we're young we eat all the time (growing) it levels off as we age until we become pregnant then we eat again for the baby - after that it just naturally diminishes as we grow into the years. My step mom is a healthy vibrant active 78 year old... She has weighed the ame for 40 years... She eats less than a bird on most days... Its just her body slowing down on the inside- :* Personally I'm waiting for mine to take that turn!;-)

NICOLE
No more sympathy from me! That strategy isnt working at all is it? You just get those dern boys healthy or switch DRS!:eek:

DEBRA
Glad study time is anything but boring! I bought Wendell the entire series DVD package one year for Xmas...I think we're thru half of it 5 years later! Its funny how many episodes we DIDNT see with all the re-runs! I never watched it in PrimeTime but once the re-runs started (@ 2am etc) I was able to get it all! LOVED the MOD!!!
:7

SANDRA
WooHoo on 4DS! I REALLY LOVE that series personally & I dont even luv step!ha... I think my days of both Cardio & wts on same day are gone- unless I just want to shock my body... I luv using it alacarte tho.... Hope you can find a better deal on the Esmonde DVDS... They aint cheap!

TEDDYGIRL
Hope your legs feel better today!!! Maybe you need a sTRETCH day too:7

LAURIE
Hoping today finds Cami almost all better!:7 At some point she's gonna link sick & people food....I think thats what Nicoles boys did...Liknked sick & extra attention & pampering!!! I have always said Kids/my pups....its all the same but mine NEVER grow up to take care of themselves! :7 }(

Wendy, Tracy, Lea, Christiane, Kim..... Hope all is well & sickies are hittin' the road, :* :* :* :* :* :* :*
 
Just a quick fly by before heading to class...and then I am off for the rest of the day and evening!! Today is my rest day, so that is good. Not nearly as much precipitation as predicted, so I am glad I am prepared for class. DD is a little upset about having to go to school, though.



Jeanette...
When my dad was sick, he went through the same thing of not eating much...My mom just gave him whatever he would eat...ice cream, applesauce, pudding...mostly sweet stuff...He was failing so fast that she was like...'Who cares what the man eats!!! Let him have some ice cream, if he'll eat it!' She had him drink Ensure twice a day to get some nutrients in. Hope the meds help your DGM regain some of her appetite. Glad you made it home safe and sound.


Nicole....
Sending healing vibes out there to California!


Traci...
Have fun with your clients this weekend....And if you decide to go to the bay...get lots of rest!!! And if not, get lots of rest!!!! I thought about you yesterday when I was doing MM as my forearms (wrist flexors) were killing me and I was wondering how yours are on the side...I will be looking for that anomaly in April...LOL!


Okay...I caught up with everyone else last night...Hope everyone has a great Friday! I will see you guys in the morning..


Kisses!
Debra

DEBRA::::
ROF- Mine are on the side when arms hang down.... Thats when I look cuz if I hold them out front I can make them EITHER to or bottom! :+ Am I a total dork or what????????/:+
 
Good morning!

Traci....Thanks to your reminder, I ordered the 10-min Trainer package, too! I didn't see a choice for a deluxe package, though? I'm primarily ordering these for DH, but of course will be giving them a try myself. I sure hope you get some sleep soon. It's amazing how poor sleep can derail our day so much. I can get a better deal on the Esmonde dvds if I didn't feel compelled to buy them all LOL!!! You know, one is probably enough! I'm a marketer's dream client.

Debra....You have just a wonderful, wonderful day planned!!! I'm so jealous that I'm seriously thinking of splitting up with DH so I can start dating again. You make it sound so appealing :) I need to pull out MM sometime soon. It really is a good one. I want to know what the special treat will be, if it's appropriate to share publicly. I think you're right that Jerry won the MOD, but I can't completely remember. Wasn't that the episode where George was caught with his pants down, by his mother? The shock sent her to the hospital and he had to endure watching the sexy nurse do the sponge baths through the curtain? Funny stuff. That's very funny about your neighbour!!

Jeanette....Glad to see you made it home safe and sound. Oooh, and you're happy with the leg rotation? Neat!! Soon you'll be telling us that you did the BG Leg Blast Premix 2x through, and found it too easy :) I love the 4DS Bootcamp workout. I enjoy all of this series. DH tells me he can watch the Tour de California on the internet. He keeps it on his computer at work, and tries to stay caught up with it. He went to work at 5am today; is today a big stage? Is he sitting in his office with the door closed, watching the computer?

Mid-morning today I will do 4DS HIS, including chest & back. I may throw in some pull ups....or not. I sort of had them planned for tomorrow (leg day), but may add them to today instead. I'll decide when I get there. I also want to add on a core workout. Believe it or not, ARX came to mind. Or maybe ME abs, using the med ball. Or I should try one of Amy B's core workouts. Or a CoreMax, possibly a premix I've never tried. Bah! Too many choices, and not really enough time to do it all.

Have a great day!
Sandra
 
Happy Friday, Yay!

How’s everyone today, me I’m good. I got a little rest last night needing to get into the mode of taking Promensil, don’t know why it’s so hard for me to take a green pill duh! :* Maybe I should start taking it right after lunch, yeah that’s what me:+ going too do oppose to waiting till evening, just never happen.

I didn’t feel like pumping iron this morning, decided to save that for tomorrow, so I did Kick Max as produced and had a blasts, got them arms real good:p kick...punch...kick....punch :p

No plans for the weekend other than washing and twisting hair its been three weeks since I last washed it ouch! Oh going to buy me a hair dryer today, should help with locks. Other than that doing some cleaning. What’s new with you guys. please NO sex talk today, don't want to eat NO more then I haft too :p

Jeanette: Welcome Home!

Tracie: Push Play;-)

I need to go check out yesterday post, be back
 
Hi all,

School was closed today although it really doesn't look that bad out, just a little ice. It was much worse week before last when we had a 2 hour delay and it took me 20 minutes to get the ice off of the windshield and I was sick as a dog.

Today is cardio and yoga. I'm going to go do Hi/LoX or maybe a Kickbox instead, in just a few minutes. Then hopefully I can get out to Costco. We really are completely out of food.

You guys sure are enablers. I guess I'll have to look at those workouts. I swore I wasn't going to buy anything else. It's just too many workouts and too little time. If only I didn't have to work:)

I have noticed that since I haven't done much cardio in the past two weeks the upper body muscles definitely look more rounded and pumped.

I'll check back later.

Tracy
 
Good morning ladies,
Today was upper body only premix from Supersets. A good one. I tell you, I don't know how Cathe and crew use 12# for the concentration bicep work. I do 10# and it's a burner. I plan on doing legs and abs tomorrow morning, then over to Mom and Dad's to take care of Grandma for Saturday and Sunday. DH will come over with the girls and keep me company for part of the time, which will be nice. I have to go grocery shop after work and try to figure out something Grandma will eat. Maybe the mariju... er, appetite stimulant will kick in for her by then.

Traci, thanks for the welcome home! DH and the girls were very glad to see me!!! Glad I didn't have to be gone for any longer than the 3 days. I think all the medications Grandma takes right now is throwing her eating off. Mom is concerned as Grandma only weighed 92 pounds and is now losing more weight. We know it's normal for older people to not eat much, but a lot of her medication she has to eat with food. She's so picky, doesn't like Ensure, only a bite or 2 of pudding, etc. I think it's coming down to the end, but who knows, she may snap out of it soon too. Glad you slept better last night. I fell right to sleep, been having no problem in that department at all.

Debra, enjoy your rest day. Wish Grandma would eat sweets more. She seems to like this lettuce/pea soup with minimal calories in it that my Mom makes. I've wondered whether Grandma had/has an eating disorder during her lifetime. If it were me, I'd be scarfing all those sweets for sure! When is your Dr. appointment?

Sandra, today is the time trial (15 miles) in Solvang, California. That's near my hometown. Bet they will be riding in the rain again. Bummer. I'll have to see if I can check the race from my computer at work. Hope Levi wins again this year. Today is a big stage as these guys are just seconds apart. Don't look for any heroic attempts at double blast premixes for my legs for a while, though I plan on cooking them good tomorrow morning with Leaner Legs again. Mom and Dad have a treadmill so I'll use that on Sunday for my 3rd cardio as bike riding will be out due to watching Grandma and all the snow we just got.

Latrese, thanks for the welcome home. It's good to be back. 3 weeks since washing hair??? OMG!!! I can't hardly stand to skip a day of not washing mine. I dislike taking pills too. Got to get back on taking my vitamins again. Haven't done it at all this week.

Tracy, Costco, hmmmm... I need to make a list and get there again. And I'm doing less cardio to be less rounded. So no work for you today? They never close the prison for anything. Someone's got to watch the inmates I guess.

Will have a busy day at work for sure. Will make the day fly by.

Jeanette
 
Good morning all! I sure enjoyed my day off yesterday! Today I'm started week 8, my second recovery week. I'm finally feeling much better, the cold is finally pretty much gone, my tooth is aching at times. I have a dentist appointment for next Wednesday.

I have today off and going on another field trip with the Grade 2 classes. We're going to Festival du Voyageur which is a outdoor winter festival celebrating the french history of the city. It's warm up a bit (-24) this morning so we'll be outside most of the day doing ice sculptures, hay rides, snow mazes, making maple syrup should be fun, I guess. I have to admit I was kind of hoping it would be too cold and get cancelled. What a bad mom!

Jeanette- Sounds like the trip went well. WTG on getting the exercise in while you were away. I always have good intentions when I'm away but doesn't usually happen. What a great granddaughter you are. Hopefully the medication kicks up her appetite soon. Yesterday at work I saw a lady that was 93. She lives in her own house by herself and went to open a window and her hand went through the window and she cut two tendons in her wrist. I felt so bad for her, it's just not fair to have that happen when you're 93.

Nicole Do you still have sick kids today? ((HUGS)) hope those germs are gone soon. I never thought for a minute that you didn't clean up ds's mess. LOL

Wendy You asked about the daycare board. The legislation might be different in the USA but here any nonprofit agency has a board (usually volunteers) that hires a executive director.The ED is accountable to the board. Which is what we have so yes she pays all the bills etc but is accountable to the board. We meet once a month and she gives a monthly report and I review the monthly statement which is also audited by an accountant once a year. Did you go to the hot yoga with DH yesterday?

Sandra Oh, that's too bad about the sitter not working out seemed like a great plan. Are you looking for someone else? You're doing 4DS this week, that'll be a nice change after finishing the X. Very fun workouts.

Laurie- Seems like Cami is starting to feel better, glad it wasn't anything serious. We did see the lunar eclipse, it was quite an amazing sight here as we had a very clear night. DD and I are off to see High School Muscial on Ice this weekend.

Tracy Yuck on the mouse. Was your class cancelled last night?

Traci -Is athletic stretch always painful or were you just really tight? That doesn't sound like fun. I'm debating about ordering the 10 minute trainer

Lea Hope you're feeling better soon!

Debra- Did you have school this morning? Good luck on your presentation and have fun at the show tonight?

Got to go to school! Kim
 
Tracey: Enjoy your day off from school. The weather here is so....so I've seen worsts. Altho, the snow is very pretty, looks like Xmas is a coming all over again x( Have a good workout!

Jeanette: Nice of hubby to join you, he’s a sweet heart. My girlfriend told me to go as long as I can before washing hair. Her dreads are beautiful it’s a hard journey but I will get there. Give your GM a BIG Kiss for me, bless her heart:) :)
 
It's been a crazy morning here! My phone won't stop ringing. I must be popular on snow days. Who knew.

I let Baby out and she took off running around the back yard as if she had seen a cat. Nope, she was thrilled to run in the snow! Crazy dog!!!

Yes! We did Power Heated Yoga Basic Flow. Don't confuse basic with beginners. Basic does NOT mean easy. When I told Jenn which class we were going to, her sympathies went out to the DO.:+ I think Basic is the hardest class they offer. The flow is fast, so they can linger forever on those balance moves.x(

For the record, let me state that I did not DRAG Phil to yoga class. I asked him if he wanted to join me. He said yes. No dragging involved! Jenn's first words were, "I can't believe you are dragging poor Phil to yoga class." And, I overheard a guy talking to dh in the men's changing room asking him if his girlfriend dragged him to class. After Phil staked his claim and informed him I was the wife:7, he explained the yoga day in the rotation.

Of course, the instructor fawned all over Phil!!! Here we go again. I swear dh's a gay magnet!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: At least this time dh didn't go drinking with the guys at work before yoga.:eek: No telling how flexible he would have been if he did! After class, the yoga instructor kept complimenting Stretch Mcoy the Bendable Toy's flexibility (what?) and abilities (excuse me?). I don't think we were watching the same man do yoga last night!:eek: Sure, Phil comes off all humble with the undeserved sickly, sweet encouragment. He kept saying how sore his triceps were.... that it hurt to move his arm past his neck. (Awww. poor baby, let him get sympathy from the instructor, he's not getting any from me!!:p) The only time the instructor acknowledged me was when he asked if I gave Phil form pointers at home. WHAT?!?! The only form pointers Phil gets is when he stares at me in downward dog!!!! Get your mind outta the gutter!!!!!:p }( :7 Thankfully, I know dh would never switch teams.:eek: }(

I didn't ask dh if he wanted to go there for yoga days again. There were some hot looking guys at yoga last night. The one guy looked like he could do a Cathe workout! Maybe, that might motivate Phil to continue yoga days at the studio.

It's been a long morning. I'll have to post personals this afternoon or evening after L&B and ARX.

Ballistic Hugs to ALL!
Wendy
 
Morning Xers,

Round 3/Phase 3/Week 11/Day 7
Workout: X Stretch

Cami is back to normal, so that means that I can start giving her more kibble, and less rice/meat. She is not going to be happy about that, but I will try and make up for it with the chicken broth. :9 She came downstairs this morning, and gave me lots of doggie kisses. It is really hard to stretch when you are getting slobbered on. :)

Traci, Do I need more Tony? Will wait for reviews of these before I decide to order. :D Hope you are able to get some more rest soon.

Debra, Both my DD's are off from school today, but it is a scheduled day off. So can I expect my kitchen to be clean? Probably not, but that is what I requested to be done today. :D

Kim, Have a great time with HSM on Ice. Hope your event goes better than our attempt to see it. My youngest got sick just before we got there. :D Glad you are feel better, and you will probably be very happy once you get to the dentist. :D I have had my share of mouth pain. x(

Sandra, It must be a while since you attempted ARX to even think to do it. :7 I actually did a Ab Hits workout last night. It is the one that used one of the SH abs and CTX Kickbox plank work. My abs felt worked out after that one. I would be happy to do the Feb rotation, but would have to start on a Saturday. The longer workouts are in the first part of the week, since I only have an hour to workout during the week day. :D Will be a interesting change from what I have been doing. Just let me know when you are ready. I only have week 12 and recovery week to go, but if you are still working at the 4DS, I'm sure I can find something to do. :D

TG, Having nothing to do on the weekends sounds like a great thing. :D We have our Pastor coming over tomorrow for a meeting about our DD's first communion, and then on Sunday we have our workshop for faire. This was rescheduled because of the weather last weekend. At least we are going to have nice weather. :D

Tracy, We have had those days when you wonder why they closed one day and not the other. Enjoy your day off, and get some grocerys in the house. I actually had the girls eating avocados last night, and liking it. Made it into a salsa, and they where eating it like crazy. :9 It was really quite tasty.

Jeanette, Hope that GM starts getting her eating back a little. Maybe GM would like the ice cream that I brought home last night. The flavor was Cotton Candy. I had some at my nieces b'day party, and my oldest wanted me to get some for home. So as a treat for them, I bought some. It actually taste like cotton candy, but a creamy variety. :9

Wendy, ROFLOL!!!!!! I have had some gay men tell me they can convert my DH to be gay. Also have had them tell me DH's butt is quite nice. Of course it is, and it is MINE!!! DH has the spine chill factor, when I tell him this stuff. :7 :7 :7 I too am quite confident in DH not switching teams. :D

I have to get ready for a meeting BBL,

Laurie
 
Hi all,

Hi/LoX is done and APX core. I just love those two workouts!

I left at 6:15 yesterday and by 8am the mouse had chewed a whole in the side of the bag and gotten away. They are such disgusting little creatures.

Class was not cancelled last night, but we got out pretty early. I'm going to take my final early, so I should be able to get to the retreat Thursday afternoon.

I'm grouchy today. Everything DH does is annoying me. Anyone ever had one of those days?

Laurie - I'm with you on the 10 minute workouts. I think I'll wait until the reviews come out. I would like to get Amy's 10 minute solutions though....Glad Cami is feeling better.

Sandra - I'm suggesting the APX core work. It really is a nice complement to core +. What rotation are you doing or are you just free lancing for a while? I can't wait to freelance with my upper body work. I'm bored, but only have 3 weeks left, so I will continue.

TG- Glad you are back with us. Yeap we had a lot of hype for really no weather. There's nothing worse than 33 and rain.

Traci - How is the arm? Are you doing the front back workouts?

Jeanette - I tried a recumbent bike once over the summer and it really bothered my back. I'm not sure if it was the tightening of the glutes or what, but it was not comfortable. DH is loving the eliptical, I've rarely used it. It is sooooo boring. Cardio makes my muscles look long and skinny every time. I have to be careful not to do too much.

Nicole - I'm sorry about the sick kids.

Kim- Glad you are feeling better.

I guess I'll make some egg whites. Since I got sick, none of my regular meals taste good and I have to force them down. Even the coffee is not hitting the spot.

Tracy
 
Wendy - My DH would cringe if I commented that he was a gay magnet. Does Phil know that?

Debra - I'm glad you are carrying the torch for regularity for those of us who are less inclined. Your sequencing of events last night just struck me as funny. A little nookie and then take the trash out? I guess since the eclipse didn't seem very exciting that you are suggesting that CB really is magic.

Tracy
 
CS

CS is done and so am I:p Only one more workout before recovery week:D

Both boys are back in school:7:7:7:7

I have to get the rest of the laundry put away so I can see the floor:)

DH and I are not happy with each other today so it's distracting me a bit. We are both stubborn and have our ideas of what's right to do with our tax return so here we go againx( Well, I hope not. Anyway I am going to make the house sparkle so he can't throw that in my face.

Off to put on my Mrs. Cleaver apron and scour!

Traci, I sure wish the sympathy worked. You have been so great about it that it should have! You are NOT talking me into the 10 minute trainer!!! Maybe I'll think about it;)


Tracy, Wouldn't you know it that you get a day off when you don't need it. Have fun with the extra time. I don't know if Costco on an icy day would qualify as a "fun" time. Be careful out there! By the way, DH is driving me crazy today too! I think it's the lack of sex but it's hard to do when they are annoying. It's a vicious cycle!!


Debra, Glad you don't have to deal with excessive rain on a school day. I think we got that rain because it's pouring buckets out therex( I told DH I was going to leave DS #3 home with him when I took the boys to school so that someone would be alive for him if we died in an accident. You know me always thinking ahead:p It was a bit scary out there.


Kim, OMGoodness! If it was -24 we would be hold up in our houses waiting for the end of the world! I am glad you have seen the good in it and are going to go enjoy the beautiful day:) I know you didn't think I was too horrid:) Thanks for the {{hugs}} I think all of the good vibes worked:D


Sandra, You did not let Traci talk you into the 10-minute trainer did you? That's ok, she will probably talk me into it too:p Don't you have Core+? That one is great! I probably just made it more confusing for you;) Have fun dating!


Teddygirl, KPC is a great one! Are your dreads driving you crazy yet? One of my sisters friends had some and I remember he went through a stage where they bugged him a bit. Can't wait to see pics:)


Jeanette, Are you ever home for long periods anymore?;) It is nice of you to take care of your grandma while your parents get away. You'll probably just be in a regular routine then it'll be off to the retreat:) Have a great weekend!


Wendy, Your post this morning is killing me:D Hey, if the instructor was straight I'm sure he would find you to be drop dead gorgeous:) I bet Phil just loved all of the attention. Now when you correct his form he'll remind you that he was the teacher's favorite:p


Laurie, I'm glad to hear Cami is back to normal! Hope you have a good day at work today. Looks like you'll be doing the Feb. rotation with Sandra. I thought you and I were on the same week. Did you start a week after me? I am on week 12 and headed toward recovery:D I'll have to figure out what rotation to do after that.


Ok, I'm off to clean like a good little housewife:eek:



Nicole

Bring it!!!

Hi Gang- Taking a break from my totally mixed up - messed up day! Its all working out but SHEEZ! AM client was running so late that I told her we'd have to reschedule because the rest of my day was planned....Now it looks like I'll be training 3 people tomorrow which means DH will be very unhappy if I blow off bay.....

I have made good use of the extra hours tho and got 2 of the trainings I needed to write completed & FINALLY started working on my first CEC AFPA paper on CORE-ography. I'll share some of it once its done for those interested as I found the first hour of the lecture so informative- I have yet to get into all the exercises but want to do so this weekend.

My workout will be later this afternoon once DH & boys are on their way to bay.

?????: If you were to call yourself one of the 7 dwarfs today what would it be??? TRACY made me think of them today...;-)
Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy, ????, ????, ????, ????
WTH? I cant recall half of them!!!!!!!

Keep forgetting to tell ya'll about the greatest new product out there.... The ZipLock or GLAD Steamer bags... I havent used my stove in a month! You can use them for eggs/omelets/meat/fish/chicken/veggies etc.... I use at least 3-4 a day!!!!!!!!!!

NICOLE:
*subliminal chants* - you need 10-min trainers, you need 10-minute trainers}( ROF about your tax return... correct me if I'm wrong but didnt "we" go thru this last year too? Or was it Laurie??? I recall a family "discussion" about a motorcycle???:*

TRACY
Yes, you & I have no problem allowing DEBRA to use ALL OUR sexual energy for herself:7 I swear its just "not a thing" for me...I was only on a recumbant bike once myself & recall it not being good for my lower back...but that was years ago. ~ Leave that little sweet critter alone! We all serve a purpose - what exactly are rats & mice again????;-) ROF GROUCHY!!! Oh honey we can be grumpy together... I hate when my plans get derailed when I have alot to do.

LAURIE
Its FRIDAY:D :D Well look at your weekend! I shall feel like I should be praying!! LOL Cotton Candy Ice Cream???? What will they think of next! Maybe Big O in a pint! Makes a man feel like he's had enough!}( *subliminal chants***tony....tony.....tony....tony**

WENDY
ROF:7 :+ :7 :+ :7 Phil must have the sense of humor of a great saint! Once a gay waiter was being overly attentive to Wendell & let me tell ya I HEARD ABOUT IT all the way home! HE WAS NOT AMUSED!!!!!!:7

TEDDYGIRL
Hope this weekend brings you lots of JOY - however YOU & Ted define that!}( Maybe...just maybe....if ya gave up nookie you'd not have such an appetite- that means you'd lose whatever weight you THINK you have to lose???!!!

JEANETTE
Please stay healthy being back in the sick-zone!!! ~ I really am sorry its so hard right now w/ your GM. Its not easy seeing those we love slowly fade. ~~ I am very happy you are loving your leg workouts!!! I say 4-6 weeks is about when you will see real changes... Hows the bloat by the way?

SANDRA
The 10-minute Deluxe was part of the add-on crap-ola that is at the tail end of ordering online w/ BB..... I caved - :p Hope you had a blast w/ your 4DS today.... What are we doing next????

KIM
Glad we didnt scare you away forever! I swear we only get stupid silly like that once in awhile... HAPPY WEEK 8!!!!!!!! Zippity you're all but done!! The athletic stretch is painful when you're really tight- and boy was i! Strtching/yoga has taken a back burner for far too long... *subliminal chants**buy 10-min trainer...buy 10-min trainers*

DEBRA
Are you STILL at that darn school?????????????????????????????

LEA
Are you alive & kickin' today?????????????????????????????

CHRISTIANE
Are you home yet??????????????????????????????????????????

:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* To All!!!!!
 
Hi all,

Costco is done and everything is sort of put away. Now on to some homework and then yoga.

Nicole - The day I make the house sparkle to keep DH off my back it the day we get a divorce. I usually just tell him to do it himself if he is so concerned with it!

Traci - Sounds like the business is booming. They were advertising those steamer bags on TBL. I'm probably too cheap to buy them:)I do need to get a new microwave steamer container. I used to use mine quite frequently until it got a giant crack in it.

OK, I've got to go do some work. Have a great evening.

Tracy
 
Okay back from the field trip. What a beautiful day sunny, no wind and it went up to about -12. The outing went well we only lost one kid (but found him again) and one kid crashed his toboggan into a wire fence and got a scratch/swollen leg. :eek:

We made maple syrup lollipops on the snow, yummy! The kids played snow golf, climbed the snow hills, played in a maze made of snow, toboganned on the ice slide. The snow scupltures are amazing I forgot my camera, some of them are two stories high and so intricate. It's a world wide competition so artists come from all over the world to scupt the snow. We had a horse drawn wagon ride and saw a play. I'm tired now. A few of the kids fell asleep on the school bus on the way home.
 
Good afternoon!

I did HIS this morning, adding in pull/chins after each round. I did incline chest presses with 35lb dbs - I think I'll be feeling that tomorrow! If only I had 30lb dbs. Note to self: buy some!!

Teddygirl....I'm not sure what Promensil is, but I hope it doesn't have you snoring through your coffee break! When you wash your hair, do you have to undo all the dreads, or just work around them?

Tracy....A total school shut down? Enjoy the bonus day off!!! Hopefully the ice is keeping the crowds away from Costco, too. I really want to get around to trying Amy's core workouts. I just can't seem to find time to fit everything in. I've never done the premixes on CoreMax, and I've had that for, what, 3 years?? I'm just playing around with my workouts until Laurie's ready for a new rotation. Looks like she's willing to do the Feb rotation, so I think that's what we'll be doing. Want to join us, in about 2 weeks?

Jeanette....Supersets; fun fun!! The concentration curls don't get me as much as the preacher curls using the barbell, over the ball. You're too funny about Grandma and the munchies!! You really had me laughing. I'm not sure what website DH is watching the race on; maybe Versus? I have no idea. Are you going to do a Cardio Coach on that treadmill?

Wendy....I have no comments to make about your yoga adventure, except that you had me cracking up. So nice to have you back!

Laurie....Yay! Cami's well again!! That must be a relief! It's only been a couple weeks since I've done ARX, but I honestly find it one of the best core workouts. Notice I did not say "fun". I don't have Ab Hits because I have all of the original workouts. Does Ab Hits mix them up into new routines? That might actually be interesting. The CTX Kickbox plank work is pretty tough! Oh crap, you really want to do the Feb rotation? What am I getting myself into? :) Okay, I'll actually print it off and seriously look at it. Deb's got to come along for the ride, too!! And Traci, if she's shoulder-ready.

Nicole....I can't believe you're still doing CS!! I swear I could lose that dvd in a fire and not shed a tear. No, Traci didn't talk me into the new Tony workouts; DH did. I casually mentioned them, and he responded with such enthusiasm that it surprised me into ordering them. I hope I can get a bit of use out of them, maybe as add-ons or something. I also ordered Shaun T's Fit Kids workouts. I think DD#1 would really enjoy those.

Traci....Let's seeeeee. Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy, Doc, Happy, Sleepy (that's Debra, without question), and then one more that I can't remember. I'd like to be Doc, but am still struggling with that. I suppose I'm either Happy or Dopey. The obvious missing choice is Bitchy, but then we'd all be fighting over that one. We could just rotate the title every month, as PMS hits. Yes, please do share the Core-ography info!! Do you plan to always be this accommodating with your clients? I should think that if you want to have a life of your own, you need to remain firm about times. If they aren't able to show, you could suggest something for them to do on their own, and say "see you next week"? It's strange, but when I bought the workouts today, it didn't take me through that check-out maze. I was anticipating it; had my deflective gear on and my credit card covered. But it never happened. So, what does the deluxe package include, that I'm not getting? If you've read my posts above, you'll see that we're doing the February rotation! Can you be ready to start in 2 weeks?

Time to wake the toddler from her nap. Cheers!
Sandra
