Morning Ladies,
Had a very nice visit with my dd last night, and of course my hair is now beautifully colored also.
This morning I did RWH Low Impact HiiT Premix #3, perfect for my morning. I will be doing some yoga when I get home, and I'm planning on a longer session to make up for the one I missed on Sunday. 
The strong winds are gone today, but we now have shingles on the ground from our roof. Our insurance company is suppose to come look at the roof for damage done from a hail storm that we had, so I guess this can get added onto that.
Laurel, Awesome workouts! Will be interested in how your body feels at the end of this week after doing all those triple body parts. I noticed yesterday that I have more definition in my shoulders and chest. I was wearing a shirt that exposed my collar bones, and I was surprised. I guess we don't realize what different types of weight training will do for the body. I might be joining you on your 20 week rotation, if I continue to see results like this.
Tami, Of course you did an great workout!
So you and Laurel will be golfing, that is really nice that your DH encouraged you to do the lessons. It will be fun for you and him to go out and take in the nice weather, and of course having fun at the same time. I'm hoping that we don't get the snow, but if we do it won't be here for to long hopefully. I talked to dd yesterday, and forgot to ask her about the job title. She was busy telling me all about Zoey having an explosive accident in her kennel. 
Guess she must have eaten something that she shouldn't have.
Thelma, Great job getting in your workout when you had to talk yourself into doing it. Continued improvement on the shoulders it a positive also. You are right about the push ups in the warm-up, if your chest isn't warmed up they can be hard. I like the way Cathe does the push ups, on the bench, during the warm up. I think the JM Yoga Meltdown #2 workout is better, because it flows. #1 is more about holding the poses for strength purposes. Hopefully that explains the difference more.
Becky, Nice job on your workouts, and getting your yoga in. Rocket loves to be chased, and sometimes we play that in the house. He and I play hide and seek also, and he loves to run back and forth from the family room to the living room. He stays on the carpet, and I'm in the hallway running back and forth. Good thing that area has tile floor, so with my socks on I can slide to a stop. It is kind of a good extra workout also. Just to much energy sometimes.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! So today was the last day of the triple upper body workouts, and I ended with the shortest of the Ramped Up Upper Body triple workouts--chest. It is only 20 minutes long, but there are 126 push-ups in those 20 minutes (those 20 minutes include the warm-up and stretch too), so it was no walk in the park. In fact, it felt really good today. Today's workout called for HiiT cardio, so I did RWH Circuit Lower Body into RWH Plyo HiiT Two for a fantastic combo. I haven't done either of those workouts in some time, so I really enjoyed them today. And today also called for flexibility training, so I did Cathe's Yoga Max. So good!
Tami, hope you enjoyed the golf lesson! Sounds like fun. I have never had a golf lesson. I know I should, but I figure they would be trying to change everything I do, and I would just get frustrated. I am in it for fun, not accomplishment. But, honestly, I would be a WHOLE lot better if I had started with lessons. So I hope you enjoyed it. Yuck to more snow!! This really has been a long winter for you. Regarding the triple premixes, yes Cathe included both double and triple premixes for each upper body part on Ramped Up Upper Body, and it includes the warm-up and stretch. I like doing the one body part a day add-on during this circuit week since the lifting I have been doing during circuit week (both times I have done it) is pretty light. I figure this is a way to keep those muscles limber and ready to do 'heavy' next week without risking injury. My body doesn't like time off from strength training anymore as I age. 
Thelma, glad to hear your shoulders continue to improve. Great job getting your workout in after another long day! Don't know how you do it sometimes.
Becky, bet that yoga felt good! Great job getting back to the strength part of the rotation......and sleeping in when you need to!! Hopefully you will be fully recovered from your illness soon.
Laurie, bet the hair feels better, and what a nice extra bonus of time with your DD. Seems like RWH HiiT was on the card for a few of us! I agree about how different lifting really affects the appearance, and this rotation is definitely highlighting it. My body is still trying to figure out what I am doing to it, and I like that feeling! I am definitely getting better results from this rotation that anything else I have done for awhile. Yikes of the roof shingles. That is no fun. That is some strong wind!
See you all tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ Well the golf lesson was lots of fun last night. I was a week behind my friend and the other lady joining us but he said I was amazingly a fast learner and had I truly not golfed in 5 years. Ummmm, forsure I haven’t. But he is a good teacher and very kind. So I will be joining them again for a few more weeks and go from there. He had me go first and you go one at a time due to the fact it is indoors with one screen. Nerves forsure but luckily I was in good company. So this am. I ended up not having enough time to do my full hour but I did Lower Body Tri-Sets, which is always a great one for me.
Thelma: Awesome work with slide & glide! I am glad to hear it helped ease your stress level as well. That is always a good way to alleviate stress in my book. I think you are right on with hitting the pause or rewind button on any workout if you are not going at the same pace …. Otherwise you are feeling rushed maybe and not concentrating on the move or how your muscles are working to each exercise. That is so good you measure your cats foods. WE also have a measuring cup, which I have reminded DH not to HEAP over when giving them their foods. LOL Sheesh!
Becky: Great job getting in your Yoga class on Tuesday! Also, STS Shoulders/Bis/Chest. Glad you have tonight to make up for your missed workout; I love when I get to make it up. Just makes me feel better. Thank you for the kudos on my workouts. Yes, it was definitely a first time feeling for the golf. I asked him to show me how to grip the club again. I actually had some muscle memory on the swing, but he fixed what I had learned before so that is good. It already feels better. Not saying I am going to love this sport but I am looking forward to an activity I can do with my hubby. That is why I originally took lessons years ago and gave up softball.
Laurie: Sounds like a wonderful evening with your DD! Yay on the coloring as well. Always feels better. Great job with the HiiT Premix and enjoy your yoga tonight I hope. It is nice that he is encouraging me. It will be fun if I can grasp it enough to go as couples or just with him. Something fun to do together. Which, as I mentioned above is why I tried several years ago but just didn’t enjoy it. Hopefully this time is different and I can go with everyone.
Laurel: Way to go on those push-ups! Nicely done Great job adding on those HiiT cardio workouts as well. WOW! To end with Yoga Max I am sure it felt amazing. Good for you never having a lesson in golf. That is awesome. It seems so complicated in my brain and so many things to think about. Maybe it is best to not think and not hit it very hard. My problem is gripping the club like a baseball bat and swinging for the fences. LOL OMG. It has really been a long winter for us. Everyone is talking about it. We have rain today and warmer temps with rain coming. That should help a little in getting rid of some snow. Cant wait to see what you have planned for your HEAVY week!
Talk to you ladies tomorrow ~ Tami

Hi Ladies! Tonight I did XT Bi's & Tri's. Another long day at work and once again had to talk myself into working out. Had a little set back with the shoulders. Things got a little stiff again. I think I slept in a weird position. I think I'm going to skip lifting on Saturday because it is shoulders,
Becky, glad you're feeling better and working out again! So jealous of your spring break next week! Enjoy!
Laurie, great workouts! Glad you had a nice visit with your dd! Thanks for the description on workout II on the JM yoga workout!
Laurel, another winning combo today! OMG on those pushups! Great job! Don't know how I managed to workout today and yesterday Laurel but thank God I was able to do it. Definitely helps with the stress.
Tami, awesome workout today! So glad you enjoyed your golf lesson so much!
When I don't want my pet sitter to heap the measuring cup for the cat's dry food I take a Scripto permanent marker and draw a line as a marker.
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday I did 10lb Slimdown Xtreme Yoga workout, and that was a perfect way to end the day. This morning I did LIS TBT Back, Biceps & Core Premix, and then I followed that up with Patrick goudeau's Kickbox Burn. That one is a programmable DVD, so I was able to do 2 10 min. segments, and then the cool down. I'm loving that workout the more I do it. Don't know if I will get anything else in today, but I still have the workouts that I scheduled for tomorrow. I'm sure that I should be able to get those in. I'm planning on 30MTF Athletic Conditioning Workout 2, and Kelly's Cardio Pump workout. Next week is upper/lower week, and I'm really looking forward to it.
Laurel, Great workout combos, that really is a short segment for chest (kind of unusual for Cathe ). I didn't realize that her chest work in that DVD wasn't that long. Guess that is a great option if you are short on time, but need some chest work in your week. I'm going to have to really solidify my next 5 weeks, can't go into next week not knowing what I will be doing for the next portion.
Tami, Glad to hear that the golf lesson went so well, and that you got in your lower body workout. Love that one too. I would have been a bundle of nerves going first with the golf swing, I'm really bad from years of swinging a softball bat. I tend to swing the clubs just like I'm swinging my bat. DH doesn't golf, so there is no incentive for me to really try it out. I'm sure once you feel more comfortable with having the lessons, you time out on the course will be a lot more fun than the last time you tried it out.
Thelma, Good job on the workout. Sorry to hear about the shoulders, I think that would be a good choice to skip them until you feel more comfortable. Hope you enjoy your half day off, so far I'm really enjoying my morning. I got my workout done, breakfast and I have banana bread in the oven for this weekend. Dang on the long work days, so please enjoy your time off and don't think about work.
Becky, Hope you have a great weekend.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Ladies! I had my workout all planned for today and then.....changed my mind. Actually, I changed my mind while simultaneously being unable to make up my mind, so I did a weird mess of workouts. Anyhow, I started with RWH Circuit Upper Body and took that right into Flex Train. Never thought about doing these two workouts together but couldn't decide which one to do, so I did both. And, actually, it wasn't a bad combo. Even though it was about 85 minutes long, it really flew by. Since there is a cardio factor in both workouts, I thought about just leaving it there. But my mind kept saying 'I want cardio!' So I did a fun, not intense, mind-calming cardio......Party Rockin' Step 1. It was perfect for today......but not at all what I thought my workout was going to look like today. I had planned Cathe's Body Blast Supersets and Kick, Punch, Crunch.....so quite a change! Oh well.
Tami, so glad you enjoyed the golf lesson!! Both you and Laurie mention how playing softball impacts your swing, and that is so common in golf. No doubt golf can be one of the most frustrating activities ever dreamt up by a human. If you are ever looking for something funny to watch about golf, Robin Williams did a segment on it once, describing what the Scots must have been thinking as they came up with this silly game. Can't tell you how many times I hear Robin Williams in my head on the golf course. But if you can get past the frustration, it really is a nice way to spend time together as a couple and, for me, I find it very relaxing (I like walking the courses because they are pretty). I hear you on how many things there seem to be to think about during a swing (keep your head down, straighten this arm, hold this elbow in, focus on your wrists.....). I think that is why I never had a lesson. DH can confuse me at times giving me recommendations. So my advise is.....come up with a key phrase for yourself that calms your mind. DH uses 'slow and smooth' for his. I simply say to myself 'relax and just hit the d**n ball'.
But it works!! Anyhow, hope your weather improves soon!! I will be doing Meso 2/Week 2 for Heavy next week. I can't wait!!
Thelma, sorry to hear about the shoulder set back. I think a day off is exactly what you should do. No doubt the stress from work isn't helping either. Hopefully you get some time to relax this weekend.
Laurie, great workouts! I agree about being surprised on the shorter chest work in RUUB. Cathe usually spends way more time on chest than back, but she sure flipped that in this workout. But that's okay by me.
Glad to hear you are enjoying your day off. The banana bread sounds good!!
Becky, hope you are well.
Enjoy the weekend.

Happy Sunday Ladies - I hope your weekend has been going well. I am a little behind on the rotation, but I will be catching up today. Friday was dedicated to doing some workouts for other challenges that I am in (a few Darebee ones, one yoga video (incredibly boring), and lots of burpees). They provided a nice sweat, but nothing like Cathe does. Yesterday was no workout due to birthday party (my boys went to one) and me prepping for some friends that came over. My best friend is getting married, so we practiced making paper flowers out of sheet music. So, today I need to catch up on my rotation. I plan to do an almost full body workout (minus legs) so that I get back on track.
My kids are staying with gma and gpa today and tonight, my DH works tonight, so I get the house to myself. I am not sure what to do! I am really looking forward to this time alone, too.
Laurel - Your combo on Friday was definitely a change from what you had planned, but it sounds great. Nice job on all your workouts this past week. Your Thursday workout with all those pushups made my chest/shoulders cringe. WOW! I can't believe you did all those pushups.....amazing job.
Laurie - Amazing workouts, and great job getting your yoga in. I am glad you enjoyed your time with your DD. Hopefully the shingles off of your house isn't too much damage. It's nice to get pampered and get your hair done.....I am sure it looks great. I think I am due for a die job in the next 2 weeks.
Thelma - Nice job on your workout. I hope your shoulder is feeling better this weekend.
Tami - I am so glad you enjoyed the golf lesson. Out of curiosity, were you a little sore anywhere after the lesson? When I go back to the hitting range after a long break from golf, there is always some weird body part that is a little sore. It's weird. Golfing is a good activity to do with DH. I need to get mine to do something active.....he's still not working out in any way (grrrrr.......). Great job on your workouts, too.
Have a great rest of the weekend.

Hi Ladies! I hope you all had a great weekend. I brought work home and worked all weekend. I took 1/2 day off on Friday but after taking less than 4 hours I got back to work and finished at 9PM. I didn't workout all weekend and sitting in front of the computer this caused my shoulders to get tight again. I definitely injured my right shoulder though so I have to continue taking it easy with my workouts. I am going to seriously modify the rotation by adding cardio every other day on those weeks when the rotation calls for lifting every day.
We're expecting a blizzard on Tuesday. I thought we were done with the snow.
Laurie, great workouts! Glad you got to enjoy your day off!
I hope that working all weekend will help me get ahead with work so I don't have to work long hours during the week.
Laurel, awesome combos! Great job! I hope that having worked all weekend will help me with the stress during the week. I want my life back!
Becky, great job getting back to your workouts!
Hi Tami!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Had a very nice weekend with our car club, and we where back home on Sunday morning. So yesterday I did Yoga Warrior 365 The Gathering. This morning I did S&S Ramped Up Upper Body. Got into work late this morning, we are having a snow storm. The roads are horrible.
Laurel, Great job mixing up the workouts to suit your mood. I think you picked some good ones, of course the one you didn't do looked good too. I'm still amazed that you did the triple body parts, my upper body is spent again this morning from that RUUB workouts. Have to admit that the banana bread is really good, and I even put yogurt in it. It calls for sour cream, but I didn't have any.
Becky, Sounds like you had a busy weekend, and that you are going to be caught up with us by doing a full body workout. Hope that you enjoyed your time alone, even though it is only DH and most of the time, it is nice to have those evenings by yourself. My DH doesn't workout, and he doesn't want to. I tend to push him to take a walk, hopefully he will get outside more when the weather gets better.
Thelma, Dang on working all weekend, and only getting 4 hours on Friday.
Hope that your efforts did the job, and that you don't have to be at work for longer than average. Sorry to hear about you shoulder, take good care of it.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend. I got some good spring cleaning/maybe selling the house cleaning in on Saturday since DH was working all day. But we got a chance to golf yesterday, which was a nice break. I took a much needed break from workouts on Saturday, and started week 6/Heavy yesterday. I did STS Disc 18/Back and Biceps, and I went heavy on it! My arms were shaking throughout the entire round of golf. I feel it today still......but it is a good 'feel'. For cardio yesterday, I did To The Max Extreme premix. Today was STS Disc 17/Legs, and, again, I went as heavy as I could. I am curious how that is going to feel tomorrow! Anyhow, for cardio, I did 4DS Kickbox cardio into Cardio Kicks for a good, fun combo.
Becky, hope you enjoyed your evening at home alone. Even though it is just my DH and I, I still enjoy those evenings where I am home alone. I think I particularly like not having to worry about feeding anybody besides me. Anyhow, great job getting caught up on the rotation. Sounds like you are definitely feeling better. I am intrigued by making paper flowers out of sheet music. I love that idea!
Thelma, I am so sorry to hear about the wall-to-wall working weekend. No fun. I am also sorry your shoulder is still bothering. Hopefully a little break and some revisions to the rotation will let it heal. Hope you don't get hit too hard with the snow and also hope this is the last you see of it this year!
Laurie, glad to hear you enjoyed your weekend. Your banana bread sounds great! I have never used sour cream in my banana bread. I have used it in coffee cakes I have made, though. I bet the yogurt was a good substitute and maybe even made it a little more moist? Great workouts yesterday and today! I think what makes Ramped Up Upper Body so tough for me one time through is her sequencing of the body parts. If I am remembering correctly, she goes from the long back section into chest and triceps and then hits shoulders. That transition into shoulders kills me every time because my shoulders feel so spent by that time. Doing it one body part a day takes that pre-fatigue out, so it wasn't as tough as it seemed. Well, except for the shoulder section. That is just a tough section no matter how I look at it!
Tami, hope you had a good weekend!

Hi ladies - I think I will be sleeping very well tonight. I went a little crazy with my working out today (it is SO nice not having to work and having the kids at gma and gpa's house). Today, I started off with the Bikram express class, came home and walked the dogs. Then, this afternoon, I did a 30 minute kickboxing video followed by STS disk 14 (legs). My body is telling me to relax now........but it felt so good to be so active today! I think I might watch a movie after my DH goes to work.
Laurel - Glad you got some golf in. Great job starting week 6 with a bang. It's hard doing cardio on the same days as heavy lifting, so fantastic job getting both done. Hopefully you won't be too sore tomorrow. I greatly enjoyed having no one home last night. Here is one (of many) websites with flowers made out of sheet music.
http://www.capitolromance.com/2011/12/21/diy-tutorial-paper-roses-from-books-or-sheet-music/
I made quite a few on Saturday, and the first few were bleh. But......I got into a routine and made some decent ones. We are getting together again this Saturday to make the "real" ones now.....this weekend was just practice.
Laurie - Awesome job with your workouts this weekend. Glad you got out with the car club......I wrote it before and will write it again, that sounds like so much fun. My DH would love that. Please drive safe with all the snow. We are in the 90s today, and East US is under a snow storm.......crazy weather.
Thelma - I am so sorry to read that you had to bring work home......bleh. And.....sorry to read that being in front of the computer made your shoulders stiff again. Take it easy. I don't know much about shoulder injuries - does stretching/yoga help? Take care of yourself.
Hi Tami - I hope your volleyball team did well yesterday.
Have a great rest of the day.

Hi Ladies & Happy Monday!
I have had another couple days of BUSY plus I worked for 4 hrs on Saturday. It helped a little except one of the title officers came in on Sunday and filled my in box again. But I am getting through the enormous amount of files and so thankful we are doing so much business because it could change in an instant.0 -

Hi Ladies! Last night I worked hard on kneading the knots on my shoulders and upper back and continued to do so this morning. I got things to losen up but today there was the aching that follows such tightness. Things got better as the day went on and of course an Aleve.
I tried hard to get out of work on time but it didn't work. I got home at 7 and by the time I started working out it was 7:40. I decided not to lift until things get better with my shoulders. I chose 30MTF Cardio Quick Fix which felt like a big mistake because there was a lot of arm movement. Once I stretched and massaged with the lacrosse ball and a nice hot shower things felt better.
Ladies, I tried my first FitTower workout and it was the beginner workout. I only did half the workout. She starts with a warm up and then she goes into Barre mode with the legs at the beginner level. The moves still hurt. There was something weird and distracting with the video though. It appears that it was filmed in Cathe's usual studio but the windows are royal blue and I think there is a reason for the royal blue. It looks to my untrained eye that the video wasn't filmed in that studio and Cathe and the other woman in the video were superimposed onto that studio video. The reason I'm saying this is because there appears to be some kind of a halo or something around the outline of their bodies. Really distracting.
We are bracing for 14 - 18 inches of the white stuff tomorrow. Everyone is working from home because God knows my company doesn't close.
Laurie, glad you had a good time with your car club. Great workouts! OMG you guys are also getting the snow! Thank God I can work from home! I may even work from home on Wed because DH has to dig us out.
Laurel, glad you got to enjoy some golf time. Are you getting rain? I was looking at a live radar website today and there was a lot of green over the FL map. Great workouts!
I can't even begin to tell you the mega knots on my trapezius, upper, lower, all over the place. My weak spot and sitting in front of a computer leaning forward at times to read stuff from one monitor so I can type on the document on the other monitor didn't help. I took out all my massage weapons yesterday and attacked my trapz with them until I bruised myself. Today I used my lacrosse balls and will continue using them because I had stopped using them.
Becky, great job getting back into the rotation.Those paper flowers are so pretty. So much work! When I looked at the step-by-step pictures and saw the triangle I thought I can do this but then the following picture totally went beyond my artistic skills which are slim and none!! LOL
I have my yoga video but today wasn't the right time to be pulling my arms into a pretzel as this woman does. I hope that tomorrow may be a better day.
Tami, you were crazy busy too over the weekend and the new week looks to be going in the same direction. I can feel your pain! great workouts!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
I tried out a Plyoga workout yesterday, and it was interesting. You did a plyo move, and then held a yoga move. At the end of the workout she did yoga poses for stretching out. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the whooping, and it was coming from someplace off camera. Weird! This morning was Tae Bo Basic #4.
On a sad note, my Grandmother is in respite care for the rest of this week, but my Mom doesn't think that she will last that long. She has fluid in her lungs, and her feet are swollen. She is 96 years old, so she has lead a long and full life with many grandchildren, great and great great grandchildren.
Laurel, Awesome job on the workouts, and I think your kickboxing combo sounds like it would be a great one. Nice that you where able to get in spring cleaning, that will not be happening for us soon. After all that snow, it got super cold. I kind of figured that the sequence of those body parts was the reason for the shoulder work being so tough. I'm loving that workout more and more, because it really does hit those body parts so well. I'm feeling the workout even today.
Becky, How wonderful to have all that time to yourself, and getting in some great workouts. Hope that you where able to watch a enjoyable movie after your DH left for work. I usually get to enjoy the Hallmark Channel when that happens. I don't know what it is about those movies, but I love watching them. Those temps you are having sound wonderful, compared to the 17 deg we had this morning.
Tami, Sorry to hear that you are so busy again this week. I'm sure you have been able to get in some great workouts.
Thelma, Good to know that you are taking it easy on the weigh work out of your exercise week. It will be difficult to figure out what cardio workouts don't involve to much upper body arm movements. Hopefully you don't get to much snow, but glad to hear that you are working from home. I should have really done that yesterday, because it to so dang long to get into work.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! I found out last night that DH needs to drive to Alabama on Thursday for a work thing, and I have decided to go with him. So my rotation for this week became a little condensed all of a sudden. I don't think we will be home until Sunday, but I plan on doing cardio a couple days while we are gone. But no STS work for those few days. So today I did STS Disc 17, Chest, Shoulders and Triceps (shoulders were supposed to be tomorrow). I took it as heavy as I could, and it felt really good today. There is no end to my love for these Meso 2 workouts. Anyhow, for cardio, I did a fave--Cross Fire Extreme, which is always good.
Tami, you must have been having some serious issues with your iPad or internet. Frustrating! Sorry to hear about the busy week.......again. But great job getting those workouts in.
Becky, wow on the active day!! But I bet it felt great!! Hope you were able to enjoy a nice movie as well. Like Laurie, I always gravitate to something my DH wouldn't enjoy when he is gone for the evening. It is usually something lighter and fun. We watch so many violent films together (and I naturally gravitate to crime novels when I read) that sometimes I just need something fun and sweet to cleanse the palate a bit. Thanks for posting that link for the paper flowers. Those are beautiful! Love the idea, especially with sheet music.
Thelma, ugh on the long day and the snow! But good job once again getting in a workout. I really hope your shoulder starts feeling better soon. Thanks for the warning about the Fit Tower workouts! I am hesitant to try them because Cathe pretty much dismissed them as 'not for my regular fans' when the Tower came out, which, to me, kind of said she didn't much care for the workouts. Don't know that I would like the blue windows, that's for sure. Be safe in your weather! Yes, we finally got some much needed rain yesterday and today! Everything has been SO dry. We could use about four more days of it.
Laurie, I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. My thoughts are with you and your family. Not an easy time, I'm sure. But great workouts. The Plyoga workout sounds interesting, but I am not sure I would like to hear somebody off screen either. But the concept of the workout sounds good. You know I am with you on the Hallmark movies! I think they are just easy to watch.
See you all tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Tonight I did Rock'm Sock'm. Had a pretty good day shoulder day and Aleve wasn't needed. As soon as I sat down on my home office chair my shoulders started to get tight. It was amazing. I knew the chair was a problem on Sunday. So DH and I swapped chairs and that offered instant relief. Hopefully next week I can start lifting light weights.
The blizzard seems to have weakened or something before it got to MA. We ended up getting about 8 inches and we thought we'd get 16. W lucked out!
Laurie, great workouts! I'm really sorry about your grandmother. My thoughts are with you and your family. What a blessing for her to have had a long and full life.
It really is difficult to find a workout without a lot of arm work. At least this wasn't overhead arm movement which is what was bothering me.
Laurel, great combo today! I hope you have a great time in Alabama!
I'm so happy my shoulders are feeling better. I can't wait to start lifting again. Hopefully I can start next week even if I have to use light weights. I do want to try the other FitTower workouts simply to see how she uses the tower. One thing I liked is that she did modified pushups on the tower.
Glad you guys got some much needed rain!
Hi Tami, sorry you're having difficulties posting.
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Will be heading up north on Friday, my Grandmother passed away yesterday peacefully. That is a comfort to my Mom, and all of us. Mom said that she was a stubborn Finlander to the end, with a laugh of course. After work I got in ICE To the Mat, and this morning was RWH HiiT Circuit Upper Body. Will probably do something after work, maybe some ab work.
Laurel, How nice that you are going with your DH. I did that last year when we went to Las Vegas, and I really enjoyed my time out there even though DH was working. It was a nice relaxing time. Great job on the workouts, and going as heavy as you can on the weight. At some point I will have to revisit the Meso 2 workouts, they are very good. There are three of the Plyoga workouts on youtube, so if you have a chance take a look at them. They do not involve weights, so a good workout to take along with you while on vacation. I'm mostly a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries girl. I love that they are making new movies all the time.
Tami, So sorry to see that you are experiencing some issues, but if you are at work and it is still happening, then something must be wrong with MFP side of things.
Thelma, Great job on the workout. Glad to hear that your shoulders are better, and that the issue with the chair was easily resolved. Guess you will need to get a new chair for your home office use. Glad to hear that you didn't get all that snow, but even 8 inches is enough to cause problems.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today's workout started with ICE Chiseled Lower Body Blast and Icy Core 2. For cardio, I did Cathe's Greatest Hits workout and then, for flexibility, Stretch Max 1. Good stuff!
Laurie, I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I imagine it is both upsetting and comforting for your mother. Hope your trip to the north goes smoothly and no more snow is headed your way this weekend. Great workouts! I love the Hallmark Mysteries channel too. I watch that more from January-October, but for Christmas movies, I am all over the silly ones on the Hallmark Channel.
Thelma, yay for finding the issue with your shoulders! Hopefully you can find a new chair and the problem will go away. Glad to hear you weren't hit too hard with the storm. Hope it clears away soon.
Tami, I agree with Laurie.....it might be an MFP issue. So weird! Anyhow, hope you are well.
Becky, hope your week is going well.
Hope the rest of the week goes well for all of you. See you next week!

Hi Ladies ..... I can't even imagine what is going on here. So I am going to just typed in a quick message and hope I can post this. Yesterday was S&S Giant Sets Legs Xtreme (Dbld pre-mix), I was really tired after work so just headed home and relaxed, went to bed early. Today was RWH Upper Body Circuit and headed to Spinning after work.
You are all doing AMAZING with your workouts. I'm keeping this short for now so I can see if it works ... obviously my others haven't. They were copy & paste from a Word document though; which is what I always do when I write you guys.
Here goes! Happy Wednesday Ladies .... Tami
