Hi Ladies ~ Sorry I missed you yesterday. Busy day at work and had to run some errands on my lunch break. Yesterday was Legs in the a.m. and Spinning after work. The classes are filling up as I mentioned last week, due to the Biggest Loser. It was a great class, went by really fast, good energy too!
Thelma: Sounds like you are really have “a week” ….. I’m so sorry. WOWSA! The stress and loss of 4lbs proves that you’re really feeling it. I hope between the 2 homes that one of them works out, I think that will give you a lot of joy to help you push through all the work stress. I hope anyway. Enjoy your time in Blue Ridge … try to take some deep breaths and know that “this too shall pass.” Don't let work get you down my friend. Life is too short.
Laurie: Great job with your workouts and getting them in! Wouldn’t that be funny if Laurel and I were in Hawaii at the same time. Definitely a round about way to finally meet in person. LOL Did you receive your KCM workouts yet? I did preview them the other night after you said they were posted …. They look great! Looking forward to Sunday and the start of our new rotation/variety.
Will get to see DH tomorrow night, he is coming home for our co-workers wedding reception. That will be nice, even if it is a short visit and then I will go there next Friday after work to see him.
Talk to you ladies tomorrow ~ Tami

Morning Ladies,
After work I got in MM Biceps. This morning I tried out one of the new KCM workouts. I did workout 1 of Step Boxing, and I loved it! There where 3 step/boxing segments, and she did a cardio blast in between each segment. I followed that up with GHUTV Muffin Top Melter.
Tami, Got to love all those Biggest Loser participants and their energy. Great job on the leg work and your spin class. As you can see I did receive my workouts and got right into trying on of them. It looks like the combined workout is only 48 minutes. That is a good time frame for me, just couldn't do it this morning because I was stalling on getting downstairs to workout.
Kelly also mentioned that in the sculpting workout she is using 15, 10 & 8 pound weights. Have a great time at the reception, and of course having your DH home for only a short stint.
Have a great weekend,

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. I didn't move much this weekend but tonight I did a little Jessica Smith cardio. I sent each one of you a private message via MFP.
Tami, great workouts. Sorry, you've been so busy with work! I hope you and your DH had a wonderful time at your co-worker's wedding reception!
Laurie, nice workouts! I am glad you are like your new KCM workouts!
Laurel, I hope you found a house you liked!
Good night ladies and have a great week!

Morning Ladies,
We have had a rainy cold weekend, and even had a fire in the fireplace last nigh because DH refused to turn on the heat until October. It was very nice to sit and knit with the fire blazing. Friday did the last one body part MM Tricep workout when I got home. Saturday was GHUTV Core Blast Pilates and Cathe's Stretchmax #1. Sunday was 30MTF Sculpting Rx Workout 1 and GHUTV Pilates Abs 1&2. Both of the pilates abs workouts are only 10 min. each. Really really love the Sculpting Rx workout. I will probably go up in weight for some of the exercises. Basically it is two body parts per grouping. You do one Biceps and one Leg exercise for 10 Reps and two rounds. You do this for three different exercises and then move onto the next grouping of Back/Shoulder and then Chest/Triceps. I used the same weight as Kelly, since this was my first time doing the workout, but I think that I can go up on the back and leg exercises. Since the leg work was fairly light on this workout, I felt this one was more upper body. 
At least that is what I'm going to tag it as for this rotation. This morning I did 30MTF LIFT 1.
Thelma, Good job getting in the Jessica workout. I still have the second workout on each of the Kelly DVD's to try out yet, but do have them penciled in for this rotation.
Oh yes GO Brewers!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Ladies! Well, things couldn’t have gone better on our trip to Alabama.
I am definitely counting days now until we move. I fell in love with the city, the location.....and a beautiful home. Our realtor did an excellent job in showing us around, informing us on the area, and picking homes she thought we would like. We chose one south of Huntsville on the top of a hill. It is about near as perfect as a home can get for us. It is brand new, sits on a 1/2 acre....with trees (unlike our current yard), beautiful neighborhood, walking trails, all the living on one floor except for my workout space upstairs (which is exactly what we wanted). Of course it was the most expensive house we saw 
but we had already been pre-approved for the amount so no worries there. The builder agreed to all of our stipulations (which were pretty minor), and we are set to close (provisionally.....still need to work this through with our lender) the day we drive into Huntsville next month. DH had a great meeting with his new boss while we were there. We got free tickets to an Alabama Crimson Tide football game on Saturday (which was so fun!). So we couldn’t possibly be happier or more excited. After these past three very stressful years, I feel like I can breathe again. Now I just have to get through the moving part!
I did manage a short workout each day we were gone minus the travel day there last Wednesday. It always makes me feel, better to move even just a little on days where I know there will be a lot of sitting. The workouts were—F/S Mixed Impact Cardio, S&S Cardio Slam, Cathe Live Low Impact HiiT and Cathe Live Cardio Fusion. It was about 22 hours from the time I got up to do my workout yesterday and the time we got home last night,
so today’s workout wasn’t quite back to normal. But I did manage to do Cathe Live Super Sets for a full body strength workout followed by Cathe Live Mixed Impact HiiT and Abs. Hopefully tomorrow I won’t be quite so tired!
Tami, hope you had a good weekend. I completely understand about the feeling of not really wanting too much down time though you also know you need it. Hopefully this weekend felt a little better. You will be going to visit your DH soon, right? Just saw the weather forecast that things are going to turn chilly up there soon. Hopefully you are still able to enjoy it. Have my fingers crossed still that you are able to go to Hawaii early next year!
Thelma, I have all of my fingers crossed that everything went well this weekend. I was thinking about you yesterday as we drove through the hills of Georgia on our way to Atlanta. I hope some good news and another visit there relieves some of the stress from you and gives you something to look forward to.
Laurie, great workouts! I have to admit that despite the crazy trip in the middle of it right now.....I am loving this new rotation. I find it very flexible when choosing workouts and the variety of different types of lifting is keeping it very interesting. There is no dread factor since nothing seems to be repeated too often. Hope I can stick with it through this month until we are out of the house!
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ Another nice weekend and it was good to see DH. Brief but still a nice break from not being able to see him, so I will take it. We went to the wedding reception Sat. evening and it was very nice, sort of cold since it was a partially outside venue, but beautiful view of the lake and mountains. We made dinner when we got home and then he left at like 3:00 a.m. yesterday. So it was just Bernie and I for the day but I did meet my girlfriend for coffee. The one with the 4-year old who I haven’t seen since like March or something crazy. Our 3+ hours flew by and still feel like I wouldn't be caught up in another 3 hours. So we have scheduled a every 2nd Saturday of the month date. Saturday I went for a total body workout: S&S Total Body Super Sets and then yesterday I did the ICE To The Mat Legs & Glutes. My KCM workouts arrived! I can’t wait to try them out. Today will be BootCamp after work. Didn’t tell you guys …. Last week Katy told me I should come back to her Insane-X class, “I’m not making you guys run anymore” LOL. I think it is her way of asking me back. So I may go tomorrow. It is going to be a regular Insanity style (bodyweight) workout.
Thelma: Great job getting in your JS cardio! As we often tell each other, just getting in something often feels better – so I am glad you got that in. Thanks for the well wishes, we did have fun! Not a lot of people from the office were invited, just management mostly and we truly didn’t know many people there. But it was good and he is very happily a “Newlywed” always great to see.
Laurie: We didn’t have rain but boy has it cooled off. My friend and I were absolutely freezing at the coffee shop yesterday. I needed a warmer coat instead of my light “workout” style zip up jacket. Was cold all day. Great job with the workouts. Sounds like you liked one of Kelly’s new ones ….. as I mentioned above, I can’t wait to try them out. What days are you putting them into the new rotation?
Hi Laurel ~ Hope you and DH have had success in finding a house.

Welcome Back
Just saw this after I posted! That is SO great Laurel. I am thrilled for you guys and so happy you are excited! Yay and the fact it is new plus a workout room .... couldn't be any more perfect! Congratulations. Great job on the workouts too ~ no surprise that you were able to fit those in.
Talk to you tomorrow ~ Tami0 -
Hi ladies, a super long day at work today so I only did a little JS cardio again. At least I was able to get something in. Definitely better than nothing. At least mentally it was a better day.
Laurie, great job with your workouts. They sound like fun!! We are getting your rainy, cold weather! I wore pants and, closed shoes with trouser socks and a fleece jacket! Back in my winter work gear pretty much! Thanks for your nice words in the private message!
Laurel, welcome back and congrats!!!! OMG, I'm so excited for you!! It's such a wonderful feeling when things feel so right! Sometimes you have to go with the most expensive house to get the house you want. That is exactly how DH feels.
I sent each of you a private message on Sunday night with my story about GA so if you have some time read it.
Great job getting your workouts in!
Tami, so glad you had a great time at the wedding reception and the view from the venue sounds like my dream view! So beautiful! I'm glad you got to see you husband too. Great idea to set up a regular coffee date with your friend!
Funny about Katy wanting you to return to the Insane-X class because she's not making people run anymore. She finally saw the light! LOL. Great workouts!!
Thanks so much for your kind words today. Very sweet of you!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
This morning was a short workout, because we had to bring my vehicle to the repair shop. No brake lights, so that really could be a problem. I did 30MTF Body Training 2, good lower body work. I compare this one to barre work, but more my style.
Laurel, Congrats on the new home. I'm so glad that you had so many choices and found one that you loved. Can't wait to hear that you have everything in your new home set up (workout gear wise). Great job getting in some type of workout even with the traveling. I know how difficult that can be. I agree on this rotation, it is so easy to put full body workouts in that I know are light on leg work, and then do a leg workout the next day without a problem. I almost feel like I'm doing my version of Hammer & Chisel. Now that my knee is stronger, I still want to do another rotation of those. Or I should just add some of those workouts into this rotation, since they are not lengthy workouts.
Tami, Great job on the workouts. LOL about your personal invitation to the BC class. I think Katy will sneak running into them, she probably can't help herself. Sounds like a nice wedding, and I'm glad that you and your DH had some time together. My dd's where at a wedding this weekend, and it was cold also. They had the ceremony outside before the rain started to fall. My oldest did all the make-up and the youngest the hair. Apparently everyone's hair stayed in place throughout the whole night. Can I say I'm very proud of them and not sound like one of those Mom's. 
Dang on the cold and your visit with your friend. It is very hard to determine what to wear outside right now.
Thelma, Glad that you where able to get in a workout even with the long day at work. I think you need to try some of those boxing/kickboxing workouts right now. DH turned on the heat yesterday, it was did help with the cold/damp feeling that had settled in. LOL on your open toed shoes being replaced, I'm sure that you tootsies are happier.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Super tough workout today. I did a combo of Cathe Live workouts....Fit Tower Cardio Legs and Cardio Glutes and Core. It was about 100 minutes long, and a really good blend of cardio, band, barre and ball work. But at the end, my legs were trembling, even through the core work. And this was supposed to be my light leg day! I enjoyed it. Tomorrow.....I probably will regret it though.
So you can tell I was a bit tired yesterday because I didn’t come to this page to read all of your lastest posts. Oops. I’m caught up now. Sorry about that!
Thelma, I didn’t get a private message from you. I will try to send you one and see if it goes through because I so want to know what happened this weekend. Great job getting a workout in despite another long day.
Tami, how nice of Katy to ask you back. I really hope this time she sticks to it when she says no running. Glad you got to spend time with your BFF over the weekend as well as your DH.
Laurie, great workouts. I love how you described this rotation. But yikes on the car! I am glad you noticed that because that is not good. Sounds like we are winning in the weather department here in Fairbanks. Yesterday was the third warmest October day on record up here at 68. Beautiful clear skies and sunshine. Why couldn’t we have had this in August? 
But I will take it now!
See you all tomorrow.

Hi Ladies, no workout for me tonight. I worked from 8:30AM-7PM. I got home at 8 PM and I was just brain dead. My team of 5 is now a team of 2.5 so we have a lot of work.
Laurie, good job with your workouts! So glad you noticed the brake light indicator in your car!
There is definitely that cold/damp feeling. We put the electric blanket back on our bed on Saturday after I washed the sheets. I'm upset that I didn't have the time or energy to lift weights right now.
Laurel, great 'light leg' workout!
I resent the private message. Let me know if got it this time. I did get your message. If you didn't get my second message please send me your email address so I can resend.
Hi Tami!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Have to say that my bum is sore today after that Kelly workout, and I didn't even use ankle weights. Guess that I need to do barre type work more often. This morning was GHUTV Core Burner HiiT. Really good workout, will probably do that one again.
Laurel, Awesome job on the workouts, and I hope your legs are okay today! Got to love the leg shakes. What workout was it that Cathe said her legs where shaking like a chihuahua? I always laughed when she said that. You are forgiven for having jet lag and not reading our posts. My car is up to par now, and they did a few other warranty items while they had it at a dealer. The brake issue was actually under warranty, so we didn't have to pay a lot which made me very happy. We will be having temps in the 80's today, and then they will be plunging back down again.
Thelma, Hey lady you have to do what you can. I know that I wouldn't be able to do anything after getting home that late. Take care of yourself first. I'm sure that you will find a good weight workout to try out. Look at one of the shorter KCM workouts, they really do pack a punch.
Tami, Hope you are doing good.
Have a great day,
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies. Well, I found my hamstrings. Yowza am I feeling that workout from yesterday. Like Laurie said about her workout, guess I found what needs to get done more often. Anyhow, I had a good workout today despite that. I started with XT Disc 1/Chest, Back and Shoulders and upped the weights a bit. For cardio, I did Cathe’s Greatest Hits DVD.
Thelma, I just sent you my email address. I don’t blame you for a second in not doing a workout after that long day. You need to take care of yourself right now.
Laurie, I feel your pain.....literally! It is amazing I can be this sore after a leg workout that used very little weight (10lbs for about 4 exercises). I hope it eases up a bit before I hit legs again tomorrow. If not, I may need to shuffle some workouts a bit. You are testing my memory with that chihuahua comment.....but I think it might be Pure Strength Legs when her legs are visibly shaking doing the hover squats. Does that sound right? That’s going back in time, isn’t it? Glad to hear you car is all better and most of it not too costly. Enjoy those warm temps! Probably the last of the season.
Tami, hope you are well.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ Really busy day again yesterday. Running errands on my lunch break. The “usual” as to why I usually miss you guys. So yesterday I ended up not working out in the a.m. so I really felt the pressure to go to Katy’s class for Insane X. She did an entirely new workout and I thought it was a lot of fun. Tough of course, but fun. So it was segments of Boxing-Body Weight Moves-Cardio-Abs-Cardio. There weren’t a whole bunch of us there but that was fine because with Biggest Loser we are moved back into a small workout room for our workouts since our class is small. At any rate, this a.m. was LIHI Chest/Tris/Shoulders and debating on Spinning tonight. Headed to go fishing with DH Friday afternoon so I am feeling the pressure to make a dinner, his cookies (for his Birthday yesterday) and pack. Don’t want to have to do it all tomorrow eve. LOL My MIL is going to come stay with Bernie Friday and Saturday night. We decided it would be best to leave him home. It's too hard getting him in and out of the boat on the slick river rocks.
Thelma: Glad yesterday seemed to be a better day mentally at work, despite it being long. Good job getting another JS workout in. It is pretty funny about Katy. She even txt a friend of mine that she knew would send me the message yesterday to please tell me to come to class. LOL There was some sprints in place for the cardio section . . . so of course running was included. Just not the outside running.
Laurie: Awesome job with your workouts! Is that Body Training 2 from KCM’s new DVD’s? Sounds like another good one. Still looking forward to trying it out. As I mentioned to Thelma, of course Katy snuck in some running. She always will since that is her love. Just the outdoor marathon is what I dislike the most and she is well aware I will continue to miss those workouts. LOL Speaking of weather …. We had the craziest wind-pouring rain-more high winds-light rain and more wind last night. Hoping Saturday holds out for my fishing trip with DH.
His season is being cut off by Fish & Game as of this Sunday. The Salmon count is just not there so they have to close the fishery. Really sucks for people that make their living doing just that. They have to cxl all those trips. DH does too but luckily he has his full time job here at the Title Co. But his goes towards his fishing business so not good there, but it’s ok. He will come home probably Monday once he is all packed up.
Laurel: You have hit it hard on the workouts since you have returned! Way to go. 100 minutes. WOWSA. I am going to try and do the Fit Tower Legs in this new rotation as well. Again, more of that “Barre” style workout. That is funny where you said you found your hamstrings. LOL I KNOW I need those workouts more often.
Have a great afternoon/evening ladies ~ talk to you tomorrow! Tami

Hi ladies, no workout tonight again. I had to put in another long day at work and today my felt the exhaustion. I am barely eating 1000 calories these days. The good news is that I've lost weight I'd gain. The bad news this is not the right way to lose weight.
Laurie, great workout and how awesome that you were sore from yesterday's workouts! Was that KCM workout one of her new ones?
Laurel, good for you for giving yourself some good DOMS! Great job!
I sent you the message via email.
Tami, glad you went to Katy's class! So sweet of her for texting your friend to help her get you back in class!
Did she tell you there wouldn't be any running? Sounds like she meant outside running! great workouts!
I hope you have a great time fishing. Good idea to leave Bernie home. You wouldn't want him to get hurt on those rocks.
Good night ladies!
Thelma0 -
Morning Ladies,
No workout after work, got home a little to late. This morning I tried out a new GHUTV workout called Mega Muscle HiiT. Really enjoyed it, and it will be on my to do list again. Really cold temps today.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts, and I'm still sore in the thutt area today. I love it. I think that you are right on the PS Leg workout being the one she says that in. Must be those low ends that she always does. Everything on the care was covered under warranty, all except for a belt that needed to be replaced. I was surprised that they started at $135 for an evaluation fee. So you are paying for them just to look at your car. Ended up paying that and $50 for the belt. Not bad for a vehicle that has 212K miles on it. And yes the fall temps are back, but I did grill out last night.
Tami, Dang on being to busy to talk to us. Nice that you where able to get to Insane X class, it does sound really good. I always like workouts that include some type of boxing in it. Great job on your other workouts also. That is nice that your MIL will be watching Bernie, good idea since he wouldn't be able to get in and out of the boat very well. So sorry to hear about the fishing trip cancellation, that really has to be tough. Do enjoy yourself this weekend, and catch at least a couple of those salmon. We must have gotten your weather last night, because it was super windy and rainy.
Thelma, Yay for the weight loss, but you are right, it isn't the way that one should be loosing weight. I hope that things start to get better at work for you. I'm sure that you are ready for it to be Friday so that you have the weekend to let your brain relax.
The Body Training workout was this one. The first workout is all standing leg work, and the second on is floor. coffeyfit.com/istore/product_info.php?products_id=51
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! My lower body was still a bit sore this morning, but I pushed through on the leg workout I had planned. Thinking I may regret that decision tomorrow. I did Cathe Live Hooked on Legs followed by S&S Cycle Sweat. Good stuff. I am having one of those ‘I hate moving days’ since they told us this morning that our stuff may take up to 40 days to get to Alabama. So I am trying to figure out how we can live in our new home for four weeks without furniture. Suffice it to say, I feel I am bit too old these days to spend weeks living on the floor, so we’ll figure something out. But it just surprised me because it took less than three weeks to get our stuff here. Must be an autumn vs spring thing with getting stuff on the ship from Alaska to Seattle.
Tami, sorry to hear about the busy time, but I am glad you enjoyed the Katy class. It does sound like a fun one with lots of variety. I am sorry to hear about the salmon, though. I am sure that is disappointing for your DH. I am glad you are going to get to see him this weekend though, even if he is home a few days later.
Thelma, I am glad you are listening to your body and giving it a break. If you aren’t eating, you shouldn’t be working out either. I hope you get your appetite back soon, though.
Laurie, seems like it went from unusually hot to the opposite. Must be autumn! Sounds like another good workout this morning. I am definitely still feeling it in my hamstrings today. Doing deadlifts in my first workout and I was like ‘HELLO!’. I might try Tuesday’s combo again next week. The way they assess prices on fixing cars anymore is crazy. Like you said, to charge you a minimum before even looking at the car is just wrong. But I am glad it didn’t cost much beyond that.
See you tomorrow.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies ~ XT Cardio Leg Blast this a.m. and no workout tonight. Will head out tomorrow early from work so I get there before dark. Hope to get in my Total Body workout tomorrow a.m.
Thelma: I am so sorry to hear you are so exhausted and lack of appetite. . . definitely not the way to lose those extra lbs. I bet you are truly looking forward to the weekend and hopefully can relax.
Laurie: Your workout this a.m. sounds like a fun one, way to go! We had cold temps this a.m. as well and today is only in the 50’s. Fall is HERE forsure. So that workout you did that you are still “feeling it” is the one from KCM Body Training that you listed the link too? I was absolutely surprised Katy had any type of boxing in her workout the other night. A great surprise forsure. It was a surprise to all of us and I commented after how much fun it was.
Laurel: Another awesome combo! Way to go. That is no fun at all I am sure trying to figure out/prepare for a non-furnished house. For a few days is one thing but several or weeks is a completely different story. It should be a fun weekend. He is really looking forward to me being there. Even if he does come home right after. LOL
If I don’t get to check in tomorrow before I leave ~ have a great weekend ladies!
Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, I had a MUCH better day today. Even though I worked till 7 PM I had energy left for a little JS cardio which felt great. I made great progress at work so I hope next week will be better.
I had to cancel my day off for tomorrow and next Friday because of the amount of work we have to do but that's OK. I ate better today which is probably why I felt more energetic.
Laurie, that Hiit workout sounds great! You were lucky with your car's repair costs!
Thanks for the KCM link. I do have that workout!
Laurel, great leg combo! OMG, you have to get an air mattress for the weeks without furniture at the new house! I was looking into buying one of those and they seem very nice and they have pumps.
I have to try eating better. I hope things are better next week.
Tami, great workouts and I hope you have a great weekend with your DH!
I live for the weekend!!! LOL
Good night ladies and have a great weekend. We're going to have a cool one!
Thelma0 -
Morning Ladies,
No workout after work, because the Brewer game was capturing my attention.
This morning I did KCM's 30MTF Weights workout 1. This one is Back, Legs & Chest. Will be enjoying a stretch tomorrow after all of this lower body work. I'm loving it though. DH and I got in our walk just in time before it started pouring.
Laurel, I think that both of us are suffering from the extra lower body doms from this week. The feeling isn't horrible, but I know I have been working that area really well. Great job with your workouts! Dang on not having furniture in your house for that long of time. This rotation is a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to next week. I love that I don't have to go super heavy on the leg workouts, and I'm feeling it. Must be the endurance factor.
Tami, Great job with the workout, and I hope that your class was a good one. Yes that link is to the workout that I did. There is a standing and the floor/pilates (this is the one that I did). She says that it is total body, because you do some upper body work. But it is more lower body, and even though I didn't use ankle weights I was feeling it. I really like the workout 1 also, and I'm going to be doing that one next week. I will probably put ankle weights on for that one, since it is standing. The one that I did is like ICE To the Mat, but not as long and no equipment needed.
Thelma, Glad to hear that you had a better day at work, and that you where able to get in a Jessica workout. I think I remember you had that DVD, it is a good one. Or maybe it is for me because I tend to avoid barre workouts.
Have a great weekend (and go Brewers!)
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was fun. I started with XT Biceps and Triceps, which just flies by for me. For cardio, I did the warm-up and Blizzard Blast from Rock’m Sock’m Kickboxing into Cathe Live Jabs and Abs. Felt like I could go all day with that combo.
Tami, hope you have a fantastic weekend and your weather is good. Enjoy!
Thelma, so glad to hear you are feeling better. Hopefully you get some good down time this weekend where you can catch up on some good food and some rest. Great job getting a workout in after the week you have had. We have one of those air mattresses that sits the height of a bed, so we are good there. Our problem will be some place to sit. Last night I was trying to convince my DH (not very successfully.....yet) that we really need new living room furniture. We could sell ours here and get some there and......he just stared at me for a minute before turning back to the football game. I will try to convince him again tonight.
Laurie, on choosing baseball over working out. I don’t blame you! This is the only time of year I pay attention to baseball to be honest. I am still catching up to who is playing, but I did note the Rockies and Brewers were playing yesterday. Um, I am kind of a Rockies fan but I will cheer for the Brewers once they beat the Rockies, okay? Great workouts! I have had to condense this rotation more after finding out yesterday that not only is it going to take 40 days to get our stuff, but they moved up our pack out days here by two days. So tomorrow will be my last yoga day before ‘The Move’ unless I add yoga on after another workout. Not happy about that but plan on enjoying tomorrow’s yoga after this tough week of workouts.
Enjoy the weekend.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. I had a restful weekend and treated myself to a pedicure on Saturday morning. I had the place all to myself which was great.
On Friday I was still exhausted so I simply did some light cardio. On Saturday I did a JS fusion workout. Tonight I did RWH Lift it HiiT it Legs which felt great.
Laurie, I hope you enjoyed the Brewer's game! Great workout!
I would love to have time to do more Barre workouts. I would love to add more of those workouts into my routine.
Laurel, fabulous workout combo! So glad you have an inflatable mattress. Good luck convincing your DH to buy new living room furniture!
I was able to rest and eat better this weekend. I hope I am better next week about getting myself to leave work earlier.
Hi Tami!
Good night ladies and have a wonderful week!

Morning Ladies,
On Saturday I got in another episode of Stretch Max. I did the one on the ball, even though that one isn't my favorite. On Sunday we had a car club meeting, and I am suffering from an ear ache. This one hurts pretty good, so I didn't workout. It feels okay this morning, but I decided not to jump around this morning. I will see how I feel after work. I know this is sinus related, because my right eye (same side as ear ache), is tearing up all the time also. I love the weather this time of the year, but we have been having a lot of rain so I think the mold is really high. Anyway my Brewers won, so I'm super happy.
Laurel, Nice workouts! I always love the sound of that Live workout, glad that you had fun doing it. I kind of thought that you would be a Rockies fan, but glad to hear that you will be favorable to rooting for the Brewers. It was interesting that is was colder in CO than it was here in MKE yesterday, plus we have a roof that can close. For me it was a fun series, because even though the Rockies lost, they where a tough opponent. I didn't relax yesterday until that final out. I'm so sorry to hear about your limited time with the rotation You will make up for it when you get your furniture into your new house.
Thelma, I'm glad to hear that you had a nice relaxing weekend. Great job on the workouts, I'm sure that it felt good to get those done. I really enjoyed last weeks workouts, so will hopefully enjoy them once this earache is gone. I'm sure that I can do something when I get home, because it doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday. I was laying on the couch watching the Brewers with the heating pad. That has been my cure for all the lovely earaches that I get.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! We had a nice weekend here, though, predictably, we spent most of it in move preparation. But that is okay. We moved up our departure from Fairbanks by a day so that we have a day’s cushion in our trip south to make sure we make it to our house closing on time. I feel more comfortable now about our trip. I was a little concerned we hadn’t given ourselves any wiggle room. So, the countdown is on. Two weeks from today the packers will be here. Three weeks from tomorrow, we take a drive.
Anyhow, for workouts, on Saturday I did Party Rockin’ Step 1 66 minute premix followed by Kari Anderson’s Angles, Lines and Curves. Yesterday was Cathe Live Total Body Blast with Step and Ball followed by Cathe’s Birthday Blast for cardio. Today I did a modified version of the lower body workout I did last week that completely fried my legs. Today, I repeated the Cathe Live Fit Tower Cardio Legs workout I did last week, but paired it with Cathe Live Cardio, Barre and Core Meltdown. While this was still a very tough combo, I think it was somewhat lighter in how it hit the hamstrings than last week’s workout which used a stability ball for hamstring work. I am okay with that because I kind of need to be able to walk right now.
Thelma, glad to hear you had a nice weekend and treated yourself to a pedicure. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Great workouts!
Laurie, I am sorry to hear about the earache. That is no fun. I am glad you opted not to jump around. That probably would have done more harm than good. But I am glad you were able to enjoy the Brewers victory! My sister told me they were expecting snow yesterday in Denver. We still haven’t had any, and there is no hint of it in the forecast. But at least we have now had a couple of cooler days with the highs in the 30s. But, right now, I would be perfectly happy for the snow to stay away until November.
Tami, I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies, tonight I did XT Tri's & Bi's, JS interval training, stretch. I did the 6 round premix so I would have time for a little cardio. I am definitely better
Laurie, glad your Brewer's won! I hope your earache is better so you can get back to doing your workouts. Glad the heating pad gives your some relief from those earaches. Do you take Claritin? I take Claritin and use Flonase nasal spray all year round. I used to get upper respiratory infections almost on a monthly bases before I started treating my allergies.
Laurel, glad you had a nice weekend. Good idea to allow yourselves some wiggle room for your trip down south. I can't believe you'll be on the road to your new home in just 3 weeks! How long do you think it will take you to get there?
Hi Tami, I hope you had a nice weekend with your DH!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
I'm feeling much better today, but didn't workout after work because I got home late. DH was right behind me, so I know that I was really late. This morning I was in one of those moods of really not wanting to do the workout that I had on schedule. I pulled out Les Mils Combat 45, that was a lot of fun. There is an upper and lower body workout in that series, so I'm thinking those will be in my schedule this week.
Laurel, I hope that you have some great weather for the next month. I don't envy you one bit having to drive all that way this time of the year. Great job on the workouts! LOL about needing to walk right now, I'm sure that is true for squats also. We have had snow in northern WI already, but I don't think that will happen today or tomorrow. Our temps should be up in the 70's, and then plunge back down into the 40's. Weather is so iffy this time of the year.
Thelma, Nice job with the workouts! I do take an antihistamine this time of the year, that probably helped me some also. I don't usually take anything until I start feeling these type of symptoms. I don't blame you for treating yours, mine only stays in my head.
Tami, Hope you had a great time fishing.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was XT Burn Sets Chest, Back and Shoulders. For cardio, I did the cardio only premix from Cathe’s Cardio Core Circuit into Cathe Live Cardio Core Circuit for a pretty intense 75 minute workout. Trying to get some long, tough workouts in when I can even when I don’t want to. I will be sitting more than enough very soon.
Thelma, so glad to hear you are feeling better. Great workouts! Our trip is going to take us 9 days, but the first is relatively short (200 miles the first day, which we will start when DH finishes work). The other 8 days will be between 400 and 700 miles a day. The shorter days (in miles) are generally in Canada on the Alaskan Highway because the speeds are down due to the road condition. So every day will be between 8 and 11 hours in driving except for that first day and the last day into Huntsville, which should take about 7 hours. It makes me tired just thinking about it.
Laurie, glad you are feeling better. Sounds like you chose the right workout this morning. As I said to Thelma, the drive makes me tired just thinking about it. But I have it all planned out and know where we can stop if we need to, restaurants available, etc. But as you pointed out, the weather can do just about anything, so we will need some flexibility, no doubt.
Tami, hope you are well.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ A little later than I thought on checking in since I missed you all yesterday. We ended up being able to leave work a little early due to the holiday. With no banks or courthouse open it was a ½ day for us. WooHoo! Fishing weekend went good. Caught my fish within a half hour and then we fished for another type of fish for a while. Luckily the weather held out …. On my drive down there it was pouring rain. It cleared off for us, thank goodness. Cold but no rain. DH did find out (just today) his season is now going to be open to the regular time so he is scrambling to try and re-book some trips. That way he doesn’t lose out on all the money at least. Workout yesterday wasn’t from our schedule but I felt the need after missing Fri – Sun to do a full body so I did KCM Lift 2B Fit total body + abs pre-mix. Deciding still on an “at home” workout tonight or to Katy’s Insane-X class again. Despite being a little “off” the schedule to start the week I am loving this rotation. Kind of doing UPPER/LOWER/Total Body this week just to stay in the loop. If I go home tonight I am definitely doing legs.
Thelma: I am so happy to hear you had some R&R time with a nice pedicure. Hopefully you enjoyed your weekend and were able to relax. Glad you were feeling better yesterday and able to get in a nice workout. Way to go!
Laurie: Sorry about the ear ache, I am sure it made you feel completely “off”. Glad all is good now. Way to go on the workouts! Les Mills workouts sound like they will be perfect into this rotation. Your weather sounds a lot like ours again. Warming up into the 60’s and then will plunge back down into the 40’s or low 50’s.
Laurel: Sounds like a very productive weekend! I can’t believe the packers will be there in 2 weeks and the drive starts in 3. I bet you are super excited to get there and get into your new home! The sound of the driving makes me very tired too just hearing about it. Eye on the prize!!! Everything going smoothly on that end as well? Fantastic workouts you are doing day after day as always! Way to work. Snow in Denver? We sure have some cold nights coming our way but after today it is supposed to be clear skies for about 6-10 days. Just down in the high 30’s at night. BRRRRR.
Forgot to tell you ladies our Volleyball team started up on Sunday! I had to miss it but the fact we made it into the Fall league is great news ..... we have had to miss it the last few years. So Fall and Winter league we will play in forsure. I know I am going to be so sore this year on my first few matches. Maybe not, but I think I might.
Have a great evening ladies! Tami

Hi Ladies, I was only able to get a little JS low impact cardio. I was really exhausted tonight.
Laurie, so glad you're feeling better! Great job in finding a fun workout!
I don't think I could ever stop taking my allergy meds. I can tell when my nasal spray is running low and I don't get the right amount. Within days the sinus headaches start.
Laurel, great workout combo!! OMG, those are going to be long driving days! At least you know you have something great to look forward to!
Tami, so glad you had a nice fishing weekend and how wonderful for your DH that the fishing season will be open for the normal schedule!
I was definitely able to relax during the weekend. We had temps in the low 70's today and tomorrow will be in the high 70's.
Good night ladies!!

Morning Ladies,
Got home late again last night, I was shopping for items to put in our Breast Cancer Awareness basket for work. We are doing a campfire themed basket. I bought a crackling log, a lighter and Pop Tart S'mores. I was trying to find the Jiffy Pop poppers, but they didn't have them at the store I shopped at. Two of the guys forgot, so they are going to the hardware store today. They might have those there. As I said before, I work with guys so our themes are usually geared toward guys. This morning I did Kelly's new Sculpting Rx WO 2. This one is FUN, and I'm putting this one as more upper. I used 6lb weights, because it is a cardio based weight workout. You do three weight based exercises, and then a low impact cardio move and each move is done for 45 seconds. My FitBit died about 3/4's of the way through the workout, so I didn't get an accurate reading. What I did record said that I was in the cardio range for 80% of the workout. Will be doing that one again.
Laurel, Awesome job on the workouts, and getting in the tough ones before you leave. Those are some long hours in the car that you are talking about. I loved doing that Combat workout, it has been a while since I have done anything MMA. I need to pull out some of those other ones that I have. I should just start dusting off workouts this next year. I'm sure that I have some on hand that I will never do again.
Tami, I'm glad to hear that you had a good time fishing. Nice that your DH's season isn't done quite yet. Great job on the workout. I am really doing things very similar to what you are doing. I seem to fit in what I can, and what I enjoy doing for this rotation. So far I'm having a ton of fun with total body workouts that are either gear toward upper or lower.
Thelma, Nice job on the JS workout. Sounds like you are having the same temps we are right now. I had DH turn on the ac, because it was so muggy in the house. We have been having a lot of rain. DH was mowing the remainder of the lawn yesterday in between downpours.
Have a great day!
