Hi Ladies, I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had a horrible Saturday with projectile vomiting due to the anesthesia and pain meds I was given at the hospital. Started to feel better in the nausea department yesterday but pain was still there. Last night I was able to put weight on my foot again which I hadn't been able to do since Friday night. Today I felt strong enough to take a shower and what a relief! DH helped me to make sure I was safe in the shower. I took the faster shower I've ever taken but was good enough for now. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll be able to start doing a some upper body workouts.
I have this robocop boot on which is good because I've not needed the foot shield DH made me.
I'm not sure if these picture will attach to the post but I will try.

Hi Ladies ~ Another missed Friday with you all, sorry about that. I ran errands on my lunch break and then crazy busy for me. I love every second of it though
Weekend was great. I got in the RWH Low Impact HiiT #2 "Double" pre-mix on Saturday and then yesterday was RWH Circuit Upper Body, then off for 9 games of Volleyball. I played with a team prior our games because they really needed a player and then had a break and played with my team. This is the beginning of the Spring league. It was lots of fun; I think we won 3 or 4 out of our 6 games. Today's workout will be Boot Camp and then tomorrow will be back into the rotation . . . my last week (ALREADY) on this rotation. I am going to look into that one Laurie told me about and/or repeat this one again. IT went by WAY too fast!!
Thelma: I am so glad your surgery went well, thank you so much for checking in. Sorry I missed your check in with us prior but I was thinking about you this weekend and hoping all was well with you. How are you feeling now?!? Sounds like better than you imagined if you are walking in the boot. That is great news! Yay. Your a champ for getting in that "last chance workout" prior to surgery. Nicely done.
Laurie: Nicely done with the RWH workout on Friday. I always feel like Cathe goes very heavy with tri's when she can. But I agree, that one is like ummmmmm WOWser! I can go as heavy or heavier in most everything Cathe does but tri's for me are not something I like to go too heavy or my form suffers .... elbows flare out. lol Thank you again for letting me know on that other rotation. I am going to look today ~ I need to start preparing for what's next! You are the queen of rotations in my book!
Laurel: Great job with your workouts as always, injury or not you are killing it!! Great job getting on hubby's max trainer . . . that may be the way to go for cardio right now until you are feeling up to it. You are so welcome for the recipes and eating; I still need to send that other one and I will with the stuffed turkey/Quinoa peppers. A recipe worth having in my book! Of course as I go, I will send more but those were a few good "basic staples" I go with each week in some way or another.
Like I said, you have the eating down I am sure it is just getting ideas/recipes that are different. Let me know if you try those pancakes .... yum.
Hope you ladies are having a great Monday ..... I will check in tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Today's workout started on the Max Trainer, and I was much better at it today than yesterday. I only spent 30 minutes on it (which is about as long as I can stay on any piece of equipment before boredom kicks in!), but that included 15 minutes of HiiT. I was dripping at the end! Felt good. Then I went on to P90X Back and Biceps and Cathe's Lean Legs and Abs. The workouts are feeling better every day, that's for sure.
Thelma, so sorry to hear about your horrible Saturday. I hope you are continuing to do better and the pain isn't too bad. Not the most stylish boot I have ever seen. But I am glad you are somewhat mobile. Take care!!
Tami, sounds like a great weekend of activity. Nine games of volleyball?!? Wow! Hope you find a rotation soon.....or repeat this one. You saying how you want to repeat it has me anxious to do it! I still have it planned for May. I haven't tried the pancake recipe yet, but I will! I love pancakes, but healthy ones are hard to find. That recipe definitely intrigues me. This couple of weeks of no or little cardio has actually been good for me nutrition-wise because I went straight into cleaner habits when I knew I was limited in activity. I hadn't gotten too far off track but it feels good to be more aware right now. I feel like that laziness I was experiencing may be a thing of the past. I hope so!
Laurie, hope you are well.
I will try to check in tomorrow, but they are hopefully going to be fixing my floor. I am ready for this to be done!

Just a short and quick message. We are having another lean event here, so I don't have a ton of time to do much of anything. Just wanted to let you know I'm good, keeping up with my workouts, but unable to get online for any real length of time. Of course after work I'm busy also.
Have a good one!

Hi Ladies ~ Pretty good BootCamp class last night. We did the exact same as last week except 4 rounds of it instead of 3 with bonus at the end. This a.m. was RWH Lift It HiiT It Back/Bis workout and tonight will be Insane X. Our weather has been so amazingly nice it makes me want to just go straight home and take the kids for a walk . . . although they are a little out of shape (realized that the other day when I took them) poor Emma was slowly walking back and Bernie was panting and very tired too. Maybe a quick walk around the block would make them happy tonight after my class. It's 66 degrees here today. A new historical weather record for us.
Thelma: Sorry to hear about your Saturday, darn it. I hope every day since has been better and moving forward each day gets a little better. That is quite the boot. Looks like nothing will get past that (ie: good protection) which is great. Keep up the great spirits, I'm glad you have great helpers with you.
Laurel: Awesome job today, I am sure the boredom of the Max Trainer is there compared to what you are used to. Way to get in what you can though & awesome upper body workouts! Sounds like you will be good to go in no time. I can imagine without your normal 2+ hrs of cardio you are thinking closely about what you eat. I would be the same way forsure. I'm sure you weren't off track but this is a good excuse to get back on track if you were feeling "off"
Laurie: Hope things aren't too hectic for you! Thanks for checking in.
Talk to you ladies tomorrow ~ Tami

Hi Ladies! Quick check-in as I am still waiting for the floor guys to show up. They should have been here already. Oh well. Anyhow, got up early to get a good workout in. I started with X2 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps then went into P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, which is a really good combo. For cardio, I did RWH Low Impact One! It wasn't perfect, but it felt pretty good. Then, before the cool down, I hopped on the Max Trainer and added another 15 minutes of HiiT. Felt excellent!
Laurie, thanks for checking in! I am sure you will be glad when this week is over.
Tami, glad to here she switched up the BC class, even if only a little bit. New exercises would be better, of course. But it sounds like I was a bit more intense which is always good.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the weather! We are breaking records too. Feels like summer already.
Thelma, sending you healing thoughts!
Must run! See you tomorrow.

Hi ladies! quick check in. I'm upset that I've not been able to workout yet. I have to stay in bed with my foot elevated. Yesterday I was up way too long and my foot swelled up and now I'm paying for it. I also made the mistake of getting my foot out of the boot when I was only supposed to open it up. When I did that the foot swelled up and I felt like the boot was strangling my foot and I felt like the top of my foot had fallen asleep.
Today I have to keep my foot elevated at head level where as before it was at heart level. This is to bring the swelling down. If I'm not better by tomorrow I have to go to see the doctor.
On the other hand the pain is pretty good. I've reduced my med dose in half and I'm taking it every 6 hours. I can also put weight on my foot again when I have the boot on.
Other than the swelling I feel that I've made great progress and I can't say that the the pain that I felt was ever a 10 on a scale of 1-10. Maybe my doctor was right and it was a 6.
Last night I called the orthopedic doctor on call when I felt numb and I told him how I've had my foot elevated, I got up to walk every 1-2 hours, took my aspiring to thin the blood out. He said I was being the perfect patient! LOL.
I miss Cathe! LOL
Ladies as always awesome workouts! Keep up the good work and exercise for me too please!

Hi Ladies ~ Good Insane X class last night; we did the "traditional" style of rounds at 1 min. each. We had some newbies in the back from Biggest Loser competition . . . Katy thought she was being easy on everyone; ummmmm, I don't think they will be back. It wasn't easy by any means. Poor ladies. This a.m. was XT Low Impact HiiT + Abs and tonight will be Spinning.
Laurel: Awesome job with the workout and you even got in a little Cathe Cardio! Way to go, must be feeling a little better. I was thinking of the XT LI HiiT this a.m. while I was doing it and wondering if it would be something you might ease into?!? Minus the step action of course but the first part of workout maybe.
Thelma: Thanks for checking in! Don't worry about the workouts . . . your body needs time to heal which is often tiring and not what we plan going into it. I hope tonight is better with all the elevating and you don't have that happen again. Sounds uncomfortable forsure, but glad your pain scale is not up there. Hang in there! Thinking about ya.
Hi Laurie
Talk to you ladies tomorrow ~ Tami

Hi Ladies! Today I started with Lift It Hit It Legs and did the strength only premix (thanks to Laurie's recommendation!). I followed with XT Low Impact HiiT, another 15 minutes of the Max Trainer HiiT and core 1. Then I did YogaX! Long, but good workout.
Tami, great minds think alike! I smiled when I read we did the same workout again. Yep, you were right in thinking it might work!! Actually, I was fine with the step part. Where I am feeling it now is when I try to push off on the left leg moving towards the left. So those power side lunges with the weight during the first part were tricky when I was shifting from right to left. But, all in all, it is definitely getting better. Feels good to be getting some cardio in, that's for sure. I also laughed about the poor Biggest Loser people who joined your class last night. Katy doesn't do 'easy'! But hopefully it gave those participants something to work towards.
Thelma, so glad you checked in! I am sorry to hear about the swelling. Hopefully a day of elevation will take care of that. I am so happy to hear you don't have much pain! Like Tami said, don't worry about the workouts. Just focus on healing!!
Until tomorrow!

Hi Ladies! I'm still here, just not a whole lot of time to do much more than log foods and workouts lately! We're wrapping up regular season hockey (playoff weekend) and then we move into summer hockey and lacrosse!
Work is busy as ever, dogs are keeping me on my toes and workouts are keeping me sane!
Looks like you all have been doing great with the workouts, despite some setbacks for a couple of you! Keep up the great work!!
Erika0 -
Hi Ladies ~ This a.m. was CrossFire and no workouts this evening. So my relaxing evening of no rush and eat dinner.
Laurel: I love it, cracks me up when we are on the same wave length!! I'm happy for you that it is truly getting better and you are able to do more already. A very short set back I would say and not even that really! If you can already be getting in some low impact, that is awesome.
I know, the poor BL peeps in class. I hope they come back, but I have a strong feeling they won't. Katy definitely does NOT do easy. Only when she was injured herself did she let up slightly and even then it was "slight". lol I'm hoping to try another ST workout this weekend. Sat probably. I'll be anxious to report in on that. The Tabata one is calling my name!
Erika: So good to hear from you and I have seen your posts on the boards with your workouts. Nice job. Are you liking the RWHiiT workouts?!?
Thelma & Laurie - Hope you are both doing well.
Healing for you Thelma and getting your workload wrapped up for you Laurie
Talk to you ladies tomorrow.
Tami0 -
Hi Ladies! I had a great workout today! I started with P90X Legs and Back and didn't have to modify anything. Then I did LIS Afterburn Bonus Burn premix. It felt great!! And I did everything without any hint of pain! Made me feel very happy. I am going to give myself another week or so of recovery before trying impact, but I definitely feel I have turned a corner.
Erika, so good to see you!! I have been thinking of you this winter. Glad to hear things are going well. Keep checking in when you get a chance!
Tami, great workout! Hope you get a chance to enjoy some Shaun T. this weekend. I think you will find the Tabata workout very different from the Cardio Challenge....and in a good way! At least I hope you do!!
Off to get my hair looking better. Hope you all have a good weekend.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies ~ Missed ya yesterday so thought I would check in this afternoon . . . . had a great workout this a.m. with RWH HiiT It Legs followed by HiiT It Back/Bis/Shoulders. Great combo! Hoping to get in that ST workout tomorrow . . . might do a total body workout as well! I also have Vball games so that will be in the afternoon.
Laurel: I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well! If you did Afterburn no problem I would say you are very close to being good to go. Very nice and great job with your workout. Smart to give yourself a little more time. Thank you for the encouragement on ST ..... hoping tomorrow a.m. I will give it a go. Hope you had a nice hair appt.
Have a great weekend ~ talk to you ladies on Monday!

Hi Ladies, I'm happy to report that I'm doing better and I started doing chair aerobics with my aunt last Friday. We're going to do this workout every day till she goes home on the 27th. I could be doing Cathe workout but I want to see if I can get my aunt hooked on some type of workout. She likes this and she is on top of the time of our workouts. The workout is about 45 minutes and she is lasting about 21 minutes. I am using little 1lb weights throughout the workout so I feel like I'm doing something. I've been burning over 300 calories which is awesome.
The pain is definitely a lot less and I can't wait for the doctor to unwrap my foot on the 25th.
Hi Erika! Glad you're doing well
Laurie, I hope you're OK!
Laurel, I'm so glad you're doing so much better. By the workouts you're doing you must be pretty close to 100%.
Tami, awesome workouts! I can't believe Katy scared the Biggest Loser newbies away! Did anyone return?
Good night ladies!
Thelma0 -
Morning Ladies,
I'm so happy that the previous weeks crap is done. Still have a lot of work to do as follow-up work, but I can do that when I have some time available. I am done with the RWH rotation, and have decided to do some of Jillian's Body Revolution. I don't really have to do any thinking as to what needs to be the next workout. I have done all three of the first three workouts, so 1 & 2 of the weights and the Cardio 1. I think that I will only do the first week as a single, and then move on to 3&4 of the weights.
Thelma, So glad to hear that you are doing so well after the surgery, but to bad you had to go through all that afterwards. I'm sure that you will heal quickly. Nice that you are getting your Aunt into working out.
Erika, Nice to see you checking in, and of course having such a busy life. DD just started her last year of her track season on Monday, so we will be attending those meets soon.
Laurel, I'm so glad to hear that your ankle is doing so much better. Wonderful job on getting your workouts in. I love that you where able to do such great workouts even with an injury.
Tami, WTG on plugging along with your workouts also. I have a whole pile of catching up to do, even though I was usually at my desk the whole week, I just couldn't stop working on the information needed for the Lean Workout. Now I have a bunch of things to get on order, or I will have a bunch of guys asking me where there parts are.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! We had a pretty busy weekend here. We are having a new bedroom set delivered today!! After 25 yeas and countless moves.....it is about time! But emptying everything out and getting it to Goodwill took some doing. And, of course, buying everything since we went from queen size to king size. So busy.....but good!
Saturday was my usual day off working out. Yesterday I started with X2 VSculpt. I am really glad I stuck with this one. It felt really good yesterday. I followed it with LIHI Back, Shoulders and Biceps and did the premix without the finishers. For cardio, I did RWH Low Impact One and 15 minutes on the Max Trainer. Today started with LIHI Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Then I did LIHI Legs. I did do the plyo moves, but very gently. The good news is....I was able to do them! I still have some ache and lack of range. But I am happy with what I was able to do. To get a little more cardio, though, I did LIS Cardio Supersets, which felt great.
Tami, great combo on Saturday! Hope you had success in VB yesterday!
Thelma, so happy to hear you are improving. I'm think it is fantastic that you are getting your aunt to try a workout......when she is here helping you recover from surgery!! That is terrific. Sounds like a good calorie burn for that workout.
Laurie, glad you are on to a new week. Sounds like you have a great plan for your new rotation.
See you tomorrow.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies ~ So ended up not getting in my "real" workout yesterday; just Volleyball. Don't get me wrong, this is a workout but not the same for me. DH was up early and in on the computer getting some work done and so I thought, I'll just workout later, later became "not enough time" so off to Volleyball I went and then grocery/food prepping when I got home, just in time for dinner. This league we are in all of our games are somewhere between 2 & 3:30
right in the middle of the day. Today's workout is F.A.S.T./BootCamp and fingers crossed Jessica has come up with some "new" moves for the week.
Laurie: Glad to hear from you and that you survived your very long, hectic week. Sounds like you have a nice rotation in place with JM! I printed off that rotation you suggested and I am going to begin that tomorrow a.m. (since I missed yesterday/this a.m.) Thank you again for pointing that out to me. It has a nice variety of all my recent favs . . . Low Impact Series, XT and RWHiiT. May try subbing in some Insanity Max 30 on the Party Step days . . . . we will see, since I have yet to try those.
Laurel: Yahoo on some more impact and your ankle being able to handle a little more. That is great news and awesome job (as always) with the workouts. Volleyball was a huge success yesterday, we won all 6 games! Lots of fun.
Thelma: Great to hear from you and nice job helping your aunt get motivated on some workouts while you re-coop from surgery! That is awesome and sounds like a nice calorie burn to go with it. We will see tomorrow how many of the new peeps Katy scared off. I am sure it will be most of them, but maybe not. Sometimes they give it a 2nd shot and then that's it. We will see.
Hope you ladies are all having a great day ~ I will talk to you tomorrow.

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was JM's Body Rev Cardio 1. That one is surprisingly tough, so got in a good workout. Tonight I will be going to a funeral, so DH is taking the youngest to dance class.
Laurel, How very nice that you get to sleep in a new bed. Great job on the workouts, you are really getting in some good ones. Have to love the Superset workout, just for the cardio factor in that one. And of course that it is a lot of fun.
Tami, Glad that I could be a contributor to your new rotation. When I saw that one, I could see it being a hit with this group of ladies. Hope that your bootcamp class had a few new moves. I consider the volleyball type workouts to be recreational cardio. Still getting in a workout, but just different.
Have a great day!
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies! I enjoyed a tough workout this morning. Trying more and more things to see how I am doing. So far, so good. Today started with P90X Back and Biceps. I really pushed it on this one today since this is my last week before my break week. My arms still feel rubbery. Then I did Cathe's CTX Leaner Legs. It has been forever since I have done this workout. And now I have rubbery legs too! For cardio, I did X10 Low Impact right into RWH Low Impact HiiT Two Double It premix. I was a little uncertain how I would handle all of the side to side and turning moves in that workout, but it was fine. Felt great today!
Tami, I think the volleyball counts as a workout. Congrats on the wins! But I can see how the timing of your games would really eat up the day. Keep us posted on the new rotation. I am looking at maybe doing that one this summer.
Laurie, great workout. I am sorry to hear about the funeral, though. No fun. The new bed is very nice!
Thelma, hope you are well.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies, great workouts for all of you! Nice going!
Yesterday wasn't a good day and today my foot hurts when I walk right where the bunion was removed. It's as if the area hits the side of the boot but it didn't happen before till yesterday. I don't get it. Didn't workout yesterday. Wasn't feeling energetic. Today I did the chair aerobics workout.
Something interesting is happening. We've had two rainy days and my foot has hurt those days. I guess I'll be able to predict the weather with my foot! YIKES!
Good night Ladies
Thelma0 -
Hi Ladies - Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Later check in for me, I had a lunch date today & tomorrow too actually. Two of my old co workers. At any rate, busy day but I did get in RWH Upper Body Circuit and tonight was Insane X. One of the ladies came back from last week and brought a friend . . . . we all cheered. She was one I thought would not be back so I was proud of her. Katy made it hard again and we did sprints at the beginning too. Yikes! But it felt good when we were done. LOL
Laurie - Sorry to hear about you going to a funeral, never a fun moment but hopefully a nice service. Great job with your Body Revolution workouts. Yes, that rotation is right up my alley and I will keep you guys posted forsure! Yes, Vball is more recreational cardio -- that's a good way of putting it.
Lauel - I would say you are about as close to back to normal as you can get. That was quite a test you put yourself through today. Nice work!! Are you guys headed out on your anniversary trip next week or is that in April? I will definitely keep you posted on the rotation, it looks really good to me right now and so I am excited to have something to keep moving forward with.
Thelma - Sorry your foot was causing you some pain today ..... probably a normal thing in the process of it all but not comfortable by any means. Funny about the weather and your foot. My sister as a kid had her finger smashed in a wall climbing as a kid accident. At any rate, she has always had a throbbing finger when it is going to rain or snow. lol
Hope you lae have had a great St. Patty's Day! I will check in at some point tomorrow
Tami0 -
Morning Ladies,
Yesterday I was able to get in the Body Rev Workout 1 before I had to leave. That was good. The funeral was very nice, and I feel for the family that lost their wife and mother. She was a very nice lady, but suffered from severe RA.
Laurel, WTG on the workouts, and of course the dreaded Meaner Legs workout. Those low ends get me every time I do that workouts. Glad that your ankle was able to handle the movement.
Thelma, Glad to hear that you are able to get in the chair workout again. I'm sure that the pressure from the weather change will affect you. Hope that you experience more good days ahead.
Tami, I had totally forgotten to say Happy St. Patrick's day yesterday! I had some really good cornbeef at one of our suppliers. It was nice that it didn't have a ton of fat on it. Sounds like Katy gave you all a great workout. I would guess that the lady that came back was encouraged by all of you cheering for her. Can't wait to hear how you enjoy that rotation.
Have a great day!
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies! Today started with X2 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and then went right into P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. This is the last time I will do this combo during my rotation, and it was a good combo! My arms are definitely enjoying it. For cardio, I did Low Max. More twisting and turning and power moves, but it was all good. I am still a little tentative, but I am not sure how much longer I will need to be. Felt good to get back on my step for a whole workout!
Thelma, I am sorry to hear about the discomfort. That is the worst thing about healing....sometimes it feels like two steps forward and one back. Just take it easy and let your body heal.
Tami, sounds like a good class with Katy. I am so happy that one of your newcomers returned...and brought a friend! I hope they keep coming back. Next week is DH's spring break, so it is just a short trip for us up to North Carolina (and some cooler weather!). I am really looking forward to it. Our anniversary trip will be early July when the school year is over for DH.
Laurie, good workout. Meaner Legs really got to me! I was definitely feeling it this morning when I got up. Such a good, tough workout.
See you tomorrow!
Laurel0 -
Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was JM's Body Rev Workout #2. I'm kind of surprised that I'm enjoying these workouts, maybe it is because they are 30 min.
Laurel, Glad to hear that you where able to do the moves in Low Max without any problems. Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. I will have to remember that leg workout for my next rotation of 30 min. workouts. That one and 4DS Legs are really very good for being shorter.
Have a great day everyone!
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies! Today's workout started with Greater Glutes. Then I did the Less Impact premix from Cross Fire. That felt fantastic!! I am definitely back to about 95% now! I followed it all with X2 Yoga.
Laurie, I am happy you are enjoying these workouts! No doubt the timeframe helps during this busy time of yours. For shorter leg workouts, I think LIS Lower Body Tri-sets is my favorite. I think it is 39 minutes, but I always feel it.....in a good way!
See you all tomorrow.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies ~ As I mentioned, I had another lunch date yesterday so didn't get to check in. Sorry about that. It was good to see my friend. Yesterday was Great Glutes Xtreme and last night was Spinning, my legs were feeling it at the end forsure. Today's workout was Hard Strikes, no workout at the gym tonight though. This is my FREE night.
Today I went to the dentist, just for a routine cleaning. The first time in the history of my life I was able to present them with a Dental Insurance card. It felt so good. Starts out @ 70% but it was only $35 for xrays and cleaning vs my normal $200+. Yet another great feeling with my new job. Oh, and we have hired on another person so I won't be the "new" girl anymore! She will be an assistant in the Escrow Dept.
Laurie: Great job with the workouts and your new rotation so far! I bet it is nice getting in the shorter style of workouts . . . nicely done! Yes, I think it is helpful to encourage the newbies and at the same time you don't want them feeling more nervous. Hopefully she will continue to come back.
Laurel: Again, great news to hear you are pretty much back to normal. Sounds like your mind doesn't even need reassuring at this point! Great job with CrossFire today.
That trip sounds like it will be so nice next week ~ I do remember you mentioning that one a while back and yes, July will be much better weather for your anniversary trip! Yay.
Hi Thelma - Hope you are doing well.
Talk to you ladies tomorrow ~ Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, my usual chair dancing. My aunt lasted almost 8 minutes longer today than she has during the days we've done this workout.
Foot feels good but I've been dealing with swelling and when that happens I can't even stand the boot. Feels like it's strangling my foot. The remedy for this is to elevate the foot higher than I've had it.
Laurie, good job with the shorter workouts. Glad you're enjoying Body Rev. I was not able to get into that workout but maybe when I'm able to do leg workouts I should try them again. Sorry about the lady with RA who died.
Laurel, sounds like you're felling much better. So happy for you! Great job with those workouts and congrats with the new bedroom set.
Tami, awesome workouts! Glad that newbie returned to Katy's killer class! I bet it felt good to be able to present your dental card at the dentist's office!
Good night ladies!
Thelma0 -
Morning Ladies,
I took the day off today, so I just finished my workouts. Last night we went out to celebrate youngest dd's 18th b'day, so I didn't do a workout. I did JM's Body Rev Cardio 1 and Yoga Meltdown Level 1 workouts today. Really love that yoga workout.
Our oldest dd was told today that she has a new job as a processor at the bank. She was told this morning, so is on top of the world happy. I'm super proud of her.
Laurel, Nice workouts, and glad to hear that you are heading to that 100% mark. I like that lower body workout too. The nice thing is that they are all a tad bit different, but still give you a good workout for how short they are.
Tami, Sounds like everyone is working those legs really well yesterday. Very nice that you are not the new girl anymore. Very glad that you have the dental insurance, don't know what we would do if we didn't have that. My teeth are horrible.
Thelma, Makes me giggle a little when you say chair dancing, in my mind I reverse that and picture a dancing chair. I know really silly. Give your Aunt high fives from me for increasing her endurance for the workout. That is great! I have started Body Rev a couple of times, and not finished the whole rotation. This time I am in a different frame of mind, and am enjoying the workouts for what they are. Very happy with some of the results I'm seeing also.
Have a great weekend!
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies! Today I decided to give a more 'normal' workout a shot. So I started with X2 Base and Back which is really alternating pull-ups and plyo moves. I had no problem with the plyo moves at all. So, for cardio, I started with RWH Low Impact One HiiT and then went right into RWH Upper Body Circuit. It felt great! I went slower and lower than Cathe on a couple of moves (like those butt kicks she does) but, all in all, I had no issues. Very happy about that! Today marked the end of the second phase of my X2/P90X rotation. Six weeks down, four to go! But, to be honest, except for that time right after I hurt myself, I have been enjoying it.
Tami, hope you enjoyed your evening off! Great news about the dentist and the new 'new' girl. I am so happy this job is working out for you.
Thelma, happy to hear you are doing all right, despite the periodic swelling. Hopefully that will stop soon. Great job on the chair dancing by both you and your aunt!
Laurie, great workouts! Happy Birthday to your DD. And congratulations to your oldest! Wasn't she concerned her supervisor wouldn't support this move? Regardless, I am glad it worked out for her.
I will most likely not be here all next week. My in-laws are coming over tomorrow with our niece and her family who are visiting from Texas. Then we head out on Sunday for the bulk of next week. I am going to take workout gear with me. I just hope I am inspired to use it! Hope you all have a good week!

Hi Ladies and Happy Friday ~ The week's just fly by for me This a.m. was RWH Circuit Lower Body + Abs. Tonight it is 50/50 if I go to Spinning. The Gonzaga Bulldogs play this evening so I may just head home and get dinner going, relax. We will see what DH wants to do.
Thelma: Great job continuing with your chair dancing workout and encouraging your aunt as well. Sounds like she is already improving there. Sorry about the swelling, probably a normal thing right? I'm sure it is uncomfortable though. It did feel really good to get that card out; I felt like I had a "golden ticket"
Laurie: Congrats to your daughter on her job promo! Plus your youngest turning the big 18! WOW, I bet it is just amazing as their mom to see them grow up so quickly! Great job with the workouts and getting in some Yoga. I haven't done that Yoga Meltdown in a very long time, it is a good one.
Laurel: Right back into the action! Nice job and I bet it felt amazing to you. Your rotation is going along fast. Thank you on your encouragement and support as always with my new job. I met the new girl today and I actually worked with her husband years ago (in my 20's) at our local resort. We both worked the front desk there, he was a hoot! She knew that and also remembered me from my old job. She has been in the Title business for a long time. But she is still newer than me here .... lol Have a great weekend with your company and a fabulous trip next week!
Have a great weekend Thelma & Laurie too!
Talk to you all on Monday
Tami
