Hi Ladies! Another great workout today. Today was BB Bulk Arms, which is biceps and triceps. This workout had the same set format as chest but didn't seem quite as killer because he alternated between biceps and triceps meaning the non-working muscle got some rest. So my weight usage was much more predictable, but it was definitely a challenging workout. I was surprised I still felt fatigue in my muscles from yesterday's workout last night, and I think today will be the same. This workout is about 35 minutes long so relatively short but effective. For cardio, I did To The Max Extreme. I was joking with DH last night that these new workouts are going to guarantee I be hungry and tired for awhile. I hit a wall about 9:00pm last night, and he just laughed at me!
But I love that because that's a sign of a good workout.
Tami, so glad the spin class was good. I am very surprised I haven't felt the need to add any additional weight work to this program, especially with legs. But right now I really feel like I couldn't effectively do anymore. So sorry to hear about people being without power still. The longest I have ever been without power was about 18 hours, and that wasn't fun. I can't imagine days without it, especially this time of year. I suppose it is good that not everywhere is without power so they can at least get meals and charge phones and such. But......still. Makes for some long, dark evenings.
Laurie, that is so sweet about your DD! I bet it did you proud to hear those compliments and see her at work. Again, I am so happy she knows what she wants to do.....,and is doing it, and doing it well. Great workouts, as always. Hope you enjoy your week off.....and don't get too much snow!
Thelma, hope you are having fun!
Nothing much planned for the weekend except for getting ready for Thanksgiving. Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. DH and I had a nice long weekend. The weather cooperated with us. It did rain on Thursday but not too bad. Friday turned into a beautiful, sunny day and Saturday was pretty good too. On Friday DH and I went hiking, I took Saturday off and today I did my usual spinning. We did hit the outlets for some retail therapy. The PF is better but still there. My lower back has continued to bother and yesterday I was channel surfing and ran into a commercial for this spinal traction device. I watched it and basically decided to do the same adjustment they were doing and OMG! I could feel my spine expanding! I think it's helping but the moment I sit down I feel pain. I think my tail bone is tilted inwards. So I've been doing the traction move by just pushing my thighs with my hands and it works. Last Thursday night I did some yoga stretching for the back at the B&B and it helped.

Laurie, great job with your workouts! That Yoga Warrior 365 workout sounds like my kind of Yoga workout. Rocket is one funny pup! Did you laugh during his love fest?
I'm glad you're feeling better!
Laurel, WTG on the killer workouts! That Body Beast Bulk Chest workout was a killer if left you so fatigued! Awesome job!
Tami, so glad you enjoyed your spinning class last week! Awesome workouts this weekend! You really are fortunate to have power at your house. Something similar happened where I live a few years ago. We had power and a lot of people in my town didn't have power for over 2 weeks! I like you didn't realize this was happening so close to home! I hope the Zantes stay supportive for a long time Tami. I am amazed that I can workout in them without my orthotics!
Good night ladies!

Hi Ladies! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend. We finally have had cooler weather for a change! It didn't hit until yesterday and will be gone by Wednesday, but today marks the first day I have been able to open the windows since March. Such a good feeling to be getting some fresh air. It also made for a nice, cool workout.
So I took Saturday off from working out but did spend the day on Thanksgiving prep. Yesterday was back to the workouts with BB Bulk Shoulders. Another good workout! I could feel a nice lingering fatigue in my shoulders well into the evening. I don't have DOMS, though, which is nice. For cardio yesterday, I did the cardio and leg premix from Drill Max. Today was Bulk Back. I really like that he works the back without endless pull-ups. There are pull-ups, but just one segment of them. Very good workout.....again. I followed it with IMAX Extreme from the Terminator DVD and the core work from Cardio and Weights.
Thelma, so glad you enjoyed your time away! Glad to hear the PF is better, but sorry to hear you are still having issues with your back. Thanks for posting the video. It really is a simple concept, isn't it? But it makes so much sense to stretch the back that way. I am going to try this later. I am happy it is giving you some relief while you are doing it. But the pain when sitting doesn't sound good. Hope it improves with all the stretching you are doing.
Laurie, hope you are enjoying your week off and all went well with the family dinner yesterday. Hope you didn't get too much snow!!
Tami, hope you had a great weekend!
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies and Happy Monday! Weekend was good, I got in some great workouts both days. Saturday I did STS Total Body and yesterday was STS #4 Chest/Shoul/Bis followed by KCM Shape Up (cardio portion), which is a HiiT format and it was a perfect combo! Today was STS Legs and tonight I am headed to BootCamp. Only a couple nights available for the gym so figure I will go tonight. Tomorrow our Insanity class is cxld because they are using the entire gym for the Biggest Loser finale night. So tonight and maybe Wed. are my only eve's to go.
DH told me he would do the cooking for Thanksgiving, his mom is bringing a potato dish and I am making a pie along with a salad. Keeping it simple. I am sure DH/his mom will have more to pitch in but because I am working every day except Thanksgiving he didn't want me to "stress" about it. Very nice and I am going to LET HIM do his thing! LOL So I didn't have much to buy or do this weekend, he is going to go during the week at some point and get a few things. Our office buys turkey's for us so we have one of them thawing out slowing in the garage. Very nice of them . . . again I LOVE this place!!
Laurel: Awesome job with your workouts! I love how much those weight workouts sound like they are getting in there and doing the job Sign of a good workout when you feel it even later in the day + hunger. LOL I bet you were able to get a lot of pre-Thanksgiving prep work done on Saturday, that's awesome. Sounds very refreshing that you were able to finally open up some windows. I can relate all to well with our HOT smoky summer. We have very cold temps this week and supposed to snow tomorrow; just a light snow. One day is a high of 26 I think. YIKES. But it is that time of year in the Northwest.
Thelma: So happy to hear your trip was fun and the weather cooperated! Sorry your back is still bothering you but maybe trying those stretching moves will help. That would be wonderful. Zante's did great with my HiiT workout yesterday too which involved jumping on & off the step in a few of the drills, yay! Just a much different feel than Asics, but liking them.
Laurie: You must be so proud of your daughter, that is so fun and I am sure she loved the compliments. Kind of validates what she is doing is the right path for her
Great job with the Yoga workout the other day, hilarious about Rocket. Bernie the other day heard me pumping up my stability ball and came right over there . . . again, thinking this giant ball is doing something to me! So funny.
Hope you ladies all have a great day! Talk to you tomorrow ~ Tami

Hi Ladies, XT Chest, Back & Shoulders tonight. It went pretty well. My lower back started out a little stiff this morning but better than previous days. By lunch time my back was feeling pretty normal. I did some back traction while standing. I found a way to stretch the lower back! Did you ladies see the Cathe's ICE video clips? The clips look great!
Laurie, I can't believe your daughter is already doing your hair! How exciting! You must be so proud! What did she do to your hair? Cut, color? both? Great workouts!
Laurel, good for you for getting a head start on the Thanksgiving prep! Great workout combos! Your body must be getting used the workouts if you're no longer feeling DOMS! Great job! That traction move is so simple, yet it makes perfect sense AND it's effective! I can't believe you haven't opened your windows in so long! Glad you finally had cool weather!
Tami, you DID get some wonderful workouts this weekend! WTG!! If you DH wants to volunteer to do something you normally do, you MUST let him do it! LOL
How nice of him to volunteer. How nice of your employer to get turkeys for all the employees! You definitely hit the jackpot with that job! I really think the back stretches and massage with the lacrosse ball will help my back. So happy the shoes are working so well for you Tami.
Good night ladies!

Hi Ladies! I finished up my first week in the 'bulk' phase of Body Beast with Bulk Legs. The title makes me laugh because that alone should have me running the other way because the last thing my legs need is bulk.
But what a great leg workout! This is the longest of the workouts in the bulk phase at 41 minutes. I thought I could go a little heavier with the weight after a couple of exercises but kept the weight down thinking 'maybe next time'. And I am so glad I kept the weights low because my legs are pretty wobbly still, and it has been a couple of hours. I know I said yesterday these bulk workouts aren't giving me DOMS, but I think I will be eating those words tomorrow. 
Good stuff. For cardio, I did X10 Cardio Blast followed by Hard Strikes.
Tami, sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving! Sounds like nobody will have to stress out so you can all enjoy it. Your employer sounds wonderful. I am not stressing yet, but I think I might a bit Thursday morning. I hope not. You did some great workouts this weekend. Hope the BC class was as good this week as it was last week. I saw that your corner of the country is getting hit by some wintery weather. Glad you don't have to travel. Stay warm!
Thelma, glad to hear your back is feeling better. Hope that continues. I am really impressed by the clips of ICE I have seen so far. They don't look very intermediate to me, that's for sure. But I like what I am seeing in terms of familiar moves, variations on familiar moves and new moves. It also sounds like she has high energy music, which is good. I am really looking forward to these.
Probably won't be checking in the rest of the week as today is DH's last work day of the week. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I remain forever thankful to have found such wonderful and inspiring friends here.

Morning Ladies,
I'm on vacation this week so was a little lazy about posting yesterday, and Rocket and I played a lot of fetch. I didn't workout this weekend, went shopping for my nieces Christmas presents that we will be celebrating on Saturday with my family. On Monday I did Meso 3 Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps. We did get snow on Friday, and it went into Saturday. Today is a nice sunny day. Today I have not decided what plyo/hiit type workout I'm going to do, but I think I'm going to do S90 Tabata since it incorporates abs.
Laurel, Great workouts! I like a back workout that doesn't have a ton of pull-ups. That was the only thing I was dreading about STS, and it doesn't even have as many as P90X! Glad to hear that you were able to open the windows. I always enjoy doing that also, seems to refresh the home. I would say that we had about 8 inches of snow by us. Rocket was having fun running in circles through the snow. I wish that I would have had my phone so I could record him.
Tami, Awesome workouts! I really like that Shape-Up workout also. She did one called Trim Down at the same time, but instead of plyo type cardio she does boxing. I think that has to be one of my favorite cardio boxing workouts. One has to wonder what those pups of ours think about all the equipment that we use. Rocket watches the TV when the intro to STS comes on.
Thelma, So sorry to hear that your lower back is still giving you problems. Good job on getting in your workouts though. Hope that you are able to find some relief. DD colored my hair. She need to do a match the color, so I had about a 1/2 inch of growth. It was a little difficult, but she matched it perfectly. I actually was surprised at how well she did. Yes I did have to laugh at Rockets love fest even though my face was wet from being licked. I just couldn't help myself.
All I have to do for Thanksgiving is make three pies. We are going to oldest dd's boyfriends parents for the evening, and DH's Mom wanted to go to a restaurant for Thanksgiving. I'm not all that thrilled about it, but she claims that she doesn't want any of us to cook. I enjoy it, but she doesn't listen or ignores it.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies ~ Well BootCamp was back to the "regular" instructor Jessica and she made it pretty simple. We only had 4 stations total, squats/lunges, push-ups, knee ups with weights (ea side). So pretty basic stuff. We went through 4 times at 90 seconds of each. Cardio bursts in between. it was just so-so again
Not a whole bunch of people there with Biggest Loser ending. This a.m. was X10 (X42 premix) and it felt great. No Insane X tonight.
Laurie: Congrats on being on vacation! Sounds like you had a nice weekend of Christmas shopping and with your new snow I am sure it was very festive! We received some snow this a.m. and cold temps so by tonight it should be pretty icy when I leave work. I agree on that Shape Up workout; really a good one. I love doing the whole workout with weights in between the HiiT as well. I may have to check out Trim Down, that is one I don't have. Oh but wait .... my list of wish list workouts is getting a little too long! LOL Great job with STS and if you do S90 Tabata I know you won't be disappointed. That is one that still comes into my mind often when I want a HiiT/Tabata style workout.
Laurel: Way to work those legs! Yes, I would not like the title myself "BULK" anything doesn't sound like something I would want. LOL Sounds like yet another amazing workout in that series .... Yahoo for that!! Awesome follow up with your 2 cardio workouts as well. I am sure your legs appreciated a break after all of it. Thanks for the well wishes on our weather . . . yes, wintery is right. Not a bunch of snow but really cold temps along with a little snow make it tricky driving sometimes. Have an amazing Thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of your week! Can't wait to hear how it all went and what is next in that BB series
Thelma: Great job with XT and I am happy to hear your back is cooperating a little better, that's great news! I looked at one of the clips of ICE yesterday, it looks really good from the one short one I saw. I will check out more hopefully this weekend. Yay! I'm always excited to receive her new programs. I know you are right on when DH volunteers I do not squash the idea at all..... believe me. But he wants ZERO help in the kitchen, which can be hard. I will do my best to stay out and just bake a dessert in the a.m. safely out of his way
I will check in with you ladies tomorrow ~ have a great afternoon/evening!!

Hi Ladies, No workout for me tonight. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get home and by the time I was home I was just mentally and physically exhausted. There was an overturned truck on I95 and of course it was on the side of the highway I was on! I think my fitness tracker saved my life because I was falling asleep until the buzzer went off to tell me that I'd been sitting down for 55 minutes and it was time to move. So I started doing my speed bag punching in the car and that kept me awake the rest of the way. Both my lower back and PF are doing better so I'm happy about that.
Laurel, sounds like an amazing leg workout! Great cardio too! I am glad you also liked the ICE previews! I agree with you in that they don't look like intermediate moves but maybe they are by Cathe's standards! LOL. Now that I think about it I didn't notice a modifier. I went back to watch the clips and there was no modifier. Most of the moves on the clip were doable by an intermediate level Cathlete.
Laurie, I hope you're having a great vacation week! I'm sure the pups are loving having you home all week! I can't believe you already got snow but I'm sure it's normal for WI right? Wonderful workouts! The little traction stretch seems to be helping my back thank God! Sounds like your daughter is learning a lot at school. Hair color is an art and she was able to match your color not being your regular stylist! She's going to be good!!!
Sounds like your oldest is in a serious relationship with her boyfriend if you're going to his parent's! That's exciting! It's not too bad going to a restaurant for Thanksgiving.
Tami, great workouts! Sorry your BC class was just basic. Maybe you guys can talk to the instructor asking her to make the class more challenging? Too bad not a lot of people showed up for the Biggest Loser ending.
Cathe's ICE looks good for sure. Can't wait to get the program! You can help your DH with the clean up after he's done cooking! Thankfully my husband does most of the cooking at home but for Thanksgivings we cook together.
Good night ladies and Happy Thanksgivings!

Morning Ladies,
Got in the S90D Tabata Inferno, and it was perfect got yesterday. Today I have not worked out yet, but on my schedule is STS Meso 3 Disc 35 Plyo Legs. I will probably be headed to the basement in about 30 min. or so. Going to enjoy one more cup of coffee. I'm really enjoying this time off, and now youngest dd is off from school also. Going to bake up some pumpkin cookies today, will be bringing them for my family Thanksgiving celebration. Went out with girlfriends last night, it was nice to catch up. We will probably not be seeing each other until New Years.
I just read that Sagi is coming out with Body Beast 2, and from what I have heard it is filmed for women. Now I'm going to really check out the reviews on Hammer & Chisel, because I might save my money for BB2 instead. Wonder if I should just take the plunge and get the On Demand for Beachbody. So many workouts that I want to try, but wonder if it is worth the price.
Laurel, Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy your cooking, and being with family. That is the most important part. Great job on getting in all the BB workouts for this phase, and adding on HS and X10. Really sounds like Sagi knows how to make those legs wobbly.
Tami, Happy Thanksgiving! Sounds like X10 was the workout of choice for yesterday. What you are suppose to have a really tough bootcamp before all the turkey dinners!
I had my hand on the DVD, but still had the tabata workout in my head. Have not heard if we will be getting any more snow for this weekend, but the sunshine sure is nice.
Thelma, A Happy Thanksgiving to you also! What a great way to keep yourself awake! That is a looong time to be stuck in traffic. Wonderful news on your back, glad to hear that what you are doing is helping. Yep we have snow, it isn't unusual for us. It is funny that we had it in southern WI. I think the hunters that are now in the north really wish that they had it for tracking purposes. Yes we will probably have a wedding in our future, of course I'm hoping that it isn't for a couple of years yet. They have been dating for about 4 years.
Probably will not be checking in tomorrow, so again Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Ladies, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a nice quiet long weekend and our meal turned out delish! Of course after this long weekend I don't want to go back to work. In December I'll be off from 12/24 thru 1/1/16 so I have that to look forward to. No holidays at my job till May after 1/1.
On Wednesday there weren't a lot of people at work so I went to the gym at work to use the treadmill. I walked about 20 minutes in 2 sessions of 10 m each. I left work at 1 and came home to workout. I did XT Cardio Leg blast for the first time ever, spinning and Cathe's Relaxation Yoga. Sadly MFP has a bug that is not updating the
home page with exercise and I ran into the bug on 11/25. Figures! The day I did 3 workouts and burned 795 cals and it doesn't show on the Home page! Thanksgiving Day - XT Bi's & Tri's + Abs 1, Spinning. Friday - Lean Legs & Abs, Treadmill. Saturday - XT Super Cuts. Sunday Spinning.
Laurie, I hope you enjoyed your time off. Sounds like you did some great workouts!
About staying awake in the car by doing speed bag punching - That is what I do in the car when my inactivity alarm goes off. It was dark so I didn't care if anyone saw me doing that! LOL. No snow for us yet and it doesn't look like there is any in our immediate future. Hopefully your oldest dd won't get married for a couple of years. She's too young!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
I didn't workout until this morning, so really am feeling all the eating and lazing around. Really enjoyed the time with my family though. I did do Meso 3 Plyo Legs on Thursday morning, since I didn't have to do anything that day. I did 10 Min Solutions Ultimate Bootcamp this morning, and did two of the five workouts. I did the cardio and abs.
Thelma, Great job on the workouts! I like that you where able to go to the work gym and get in two walking sessions. Smart way to do that. I love that car workout option, will have to remember that when I am at a standstill on the freeway. Would probably make the wait a little faster. Glad to hear that you had a good Thanksgiving. I know that I ate to much, but now I have turkey for my lunches and snacks.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies ~ Hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving holiday and weekend! Ours was very nice with just my in-laws over and again DH cooked the Turkey, my MIL brought potatoes and a few other things and I did a salad and dessert. Workouts have been great! Although I took Friday off, knowing I wanted to get in some longer workouts over the weekend. . . .it was weird to work the day after Thanksgiving but he let us go at 2:00. So Thursday I did AfterBurn, Sat. was Flex Train followed by S90 Cardio Challenge for a little extra, yesterday was STS Chest/Back/Tris + RWH Low Impact HiiT #2 - Doubled Pre-mix, which I really liked. This a.m. was STS Legs and tonight will be BootCamp.
Laurie: Sounds like you had a nice relaxing time off and fun time with your family! That's so awesome. I love that you had some nice time with your girlfriends as well the other day. Great job on the workouts! Hammer & Chisel comes out tomorrow!!!!
Thelma: I am sure it was tough going into work after a nice long weekend! Fabulous job on the workouts and sounds like you also had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving. Just as it should be. Yes, fingers crossed that tonight’s BootCamp is better . . . we will see.
Hi Laurel
Talk to you ladies tomorrow and may I say a belated “thankfulness” to you all ~ So thankful to know you ladies and be able to chat and check in each day. I appreciate each one of you so much.

Hi Ladies! Sounds like you all enjoyed some nice time this weekend. Our Thanksgiving turned out very well. I was busy but not stressed at all. I even planned it so I had about 90 minutes of just 'sit and chat' time after our guests arrived so I didn't at all feel like an absent hostess. It was a beautiful day, so enjoyed some time outside catching up. And the meal was really good! I know I probably shouldn't say that because I made it......but it was good! We didn't even end up with too many leftovers which was nice.
I kept to my regular workout routine throughout as well, which helped with all the eating we were doing. In the Body Beast series, I did Chest on Wednesday, Arms on Thursday, Back on Friday, Shoulders yesterday and Legs today. I am still in the bulk stage and am loving these workouts. I feel so strong!! DH and I golfed both Friday and yesterday, and I was hitting the ball further than I ever have, especially yesterday. I actually think the strong lower body workouts are really helping me use my core when striking the ball. Now I need to figure out how to put the ball where I want it to go!! Anyhow, I did cardio on all those workout days as well. I took Saturday off as usual, but we ended up spending about nine hours decorating the house for Christmas. That was a workout!
Tami, sorry to hear that bootcamp returned to normal last week. That must be frustrating. Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving. Sounds like everybody has had their share of wintery weather except for us! Still in the 80's here. Worked up quite a sweat putting up the Christmas tree. That is just not right!
Thelma, fantastic workouts! Wow, you hit it hard last week. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Also happy to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving. Yikes to being stuck in the highway last week, though. That is no fun.
Laurie, sounds like a great week with your family. Thank you for sharing the info on a possible Body Beast 2. I will have to look at that. I wonder what Sagi will come up with for women. I actually like that Body Beast isn't designed with women in mind at all because I really like straight forward weight lifting and too often programs designed with women in mind end up being more endurance based. Even P90X fell into that with the light weights/high reps the women were doing. Anymore, my body responds better to heavier weights. So I am curious. I will still give Hammer and Chisel a good look though! I am sure I can accommodate ICE, Hammer and Chisel and BB2 in my workout rotation.
See you tomorrow!

I was just reading Laurel's post and then referred back to this.
SO MANY choices!!! I just read this ..... I thought I saw some posts about it when I was looking into H&C but didn't see anything forsure. WOW! That's pretty exciting as well So many workouts . . . so little time but still exciting news
I love your comment on it though Laurel. Can always "accommodate" to make it work.

Hi Ladies, RWH Chest, Shoulders & Triceps today. Today went to the gym at work for 2 10 m ea walk sessions. Don't ask me why I didn't do this sooner! I feel like this is a DUH! moment. LOL! What I did today is go hit the treadmill as soon as I got to work given that I'd been sitting in the car for almost 1 hour. I will try to do this every morning going forward. I figured out a workaround for MFP not posting my workout on the Home page. It is an android bug. If I post my workout using my iPad it shows up! If I enter my water intake on the iPad it doesn't show on my diary if I look at it using my android phone. They clearly have syncing issue between these two operating systems.
Laurie, great workouts! I'm glad you enjoyed the time with your family (the 2 and 4 legged kind!). Was the Thanksgiving restaurant dinner good? I'm really liking the little escapades to the gym at work. My boss took today off so I felt comfortable doing it. Hopefully I'll be able to keep doing it. Even if it's just 5 minutes here and there. I started doing the car workout thing since I got my fitness tracker to avoid getting an inactivity stamp! LOL. At home is just DH and I for Thanksgiving and we bought a 5 1/2 lb turkey breast. He have plenty of leftovers! LOL. I did eat too much too though. I wanted apple pie and decided to make it lite by using the top crust and it worked out nicely.
Tami, I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and a nice weekend! Too bad you had to work on Friday though. At least your boss let you go home early. I was glad my boss took Wednesday off because he wouldn't have let me go home at 1. He would've waited till 3 to tell us we could leave early. Of course I get to work at 7 so by then I've already put in a full day. Awesome workouts lady!!!! Great job! I did have a very relaxing weekend. Can't wait to read all about your BC class tomorrow!
Laurel, so glad you had great Thanksgiving! What a great idea to plan it so that you could spend some time with your guests before dinner! Our meal was good and I cooked it so it's Ok to say that something you cooked was good! LOL.
Great workouts Laurel. I believe you when you say that you gained strength thanks to the Body Beast program you're doing now. It's given your body a nice shock. I was watching the clips from the ICE program today and I remembered something you said last week: "you saw familiar moves". Familiar moves I thought today too. It occurred to me that because they are familiar moves the body is not getting much of a shock because our bodies ARE used to them. I did love what she's doing for ab work.
Last Wednesday after I worked out for 3 hours I thought of you and your long workouts. It really is awesome to have the time to do the long workouts.
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
I have officially given up on my STS rotation. It just is daunting at this time of the year, should have taken the advice that Laurel gave when she started the BB rotation. I still want to try it out, but not going to happen this month. Besides those ICE workouts look really good, and I want to try them out when I get them. So I'm going to follow Cathe's December rotation, and add in some weight work. The first workout was RWH Plyo HiiT One, and then I followed that up with XTrain Burn Sets Chest. I went as heavy as I could to reach failure on the last set. Feeling the chest muscles this morning. Have you all noticed that the ICE weight work is around 20 min. for each muscle group? I'm really wanting to know what the exercises are.
Tami, Sounds like a great Thanksgiving. Good job on the workouts. We always have that Friday off, so have not worked that day in a very long time. This is why the On Demand is very tempting, so will have to think about what I want to do. The H&C should have information starting today, so I will be stalking the BB site to see what the price and options are. LOL I too can add more workouts into my stash, guess I was just being silly when I made that statement. I can't seem to resist a lot of these workouts.
Laurel, Nice that you where able to enjoy your Thanksgiving with that much time available. Good job on the workouts! Just doing the Burn Set one body part, can't imagine what Sagi is putting you through. It made me wonder also if he was changing it up in a different way for women, I like both high rep and heavy so will have to see what Sagi comes up with. The beginning of the year is going to be a lot of fun getting to try out all these new systems.
Thelma, Sounds like you had a good Thanksgiving also. Have to love all the leftover turkey, it is nice having my week of protein all figured out. Makes me wonder if I should have gotten an extra turkey so that I could cook it up at another time during this busy season. Very frustrating for you that MFP is not syncing properly. I have noticed some glitches when I use my IPad vs. my Iphone vs. the computer. Great job on the workouts, and hoping that you are able to get on the treadmill at work on a regular basis.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today's workout started with Bulk Chest. This is the third time I have done this workout in this phase, and it still kills me! Makes my arms shake so bad. As you know.....I love it! Like with the Back workout and pull-ups, I love that, outside of the warm up, there is only one segment with push-ups. Other than that, it is flies and presses in various forms. For cardio, I did Intensity with Boot Camp.
Thelma, great idea getting on the treadmill at work! Especially at the start of the day when I know my energy level has a tendency to plunge for a little while. Hope you can continue doing it. I totally agree about the body adapting to certain moves. Cathe seems to change things up enough that I always get good results with a new program from her. But that being said, she always follows a somewhat standard (for her) workout format and I think, for me, that allows me to get too easily into a comfort zone. That's why I like to change things up with P90X every now and again......and now Body Beast. I love Cathe, but sometimes I need a little different push. I do love having lots of time to workout right now. I am trying to make the most of it because I know it won't always be like this!
Laurie, sorry to hear about the STS rotation. But if you are pressed for time, it can be a tough rotation to follow. Cathe always does a manageable rotation in December because she seems to understand the time crunch. Hopefully you enjoy what she has come up with this time. I haven't looked at it yet. These new ICE workouts have me intrigued. There seems to be a lot of variety in them. I am really looking forward to the weight segments. I was hoping she would come up with some weight work only premixes (something like Chest and Back, or Biceps, Triceps and Shoulders) but I don't think she did. Guess I will have to try my own! I am really conflicted with the On Demand options now available for workouts. I still want a firm workout in hand I suppose. And the On Demand function seems a bit pricey for just trying things out. So......I don't know. Regarding Sagi vs. Burn Sets......Sagi is much tougher!!
Tami, I will be searching the internet today for updates on Hammer and Chisel. I read up on it a bit yesterday and am definitely interested. I have a feeling I may be saying 'Merry Christmas To Me' a bit this month.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ No BootCamp for me last night . . . unfortunately I thought my gym bag was all packed and I was missing bottoms so I had to head home. Bummer after being half dressed in the freezing cold bathroom after work. LOL I did hear it was an exact repeat of last week though, so I wasn't too bummed about missing it. This a.m. was X10 and tonight will be Katy's Insane X class.
Laurel: Great job with BB! This program sounds completely amazing which is so great. I love that you are loving each and every workout, plus feeling the benefits is a huge bonus! The fact that they feel "tough" is SO great! Your comments to Thelma about Cathe and her format often being somewhat standard is true; I'm hoping with ICE she will have some "new" moves and/or sequences to her format. Like you, I was really hoping there would be some awesome lifting pre-mixes. I looked this a.m. for H&C .... nothing yet I guess. I too will be having a Merry Christmas to ME when I do get my hands on this and probably something else.
Laurie: Sorry to hear about STS but understandable and even more importantly is doing what you have time for and want to do vs. feeling the pressure of completely the rotation/program! So good on ya for making that call for yourself. I have been checking the BB site on and off today but nothing other than the "On Demand" previews. Did you find anything? How's your weather going there? I saw the Midwest is getting hit pretty hard. We have VERY cold temps and supposed to get a light snow but nothing yet; just that cold air.
Thelma: That is so awesome you have the gym at work to put in a little a.m. treadie session! Great job and I am sure it is feeling fantastic to start your day after your car ride. Way to go with RWH as well. Yes, bummer on not having that day off, didn't quite feel like the same holiday as the past . . . but again, that's ok. I would rather work every one of those here on out vs. being back at my old job and having it off.
Hope you ladies have a great afternoon/evening ~ until tomorrow! Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, Rockout Knockout tonight plus a little treadmill at work this morning.
Laurie, great workouts! Great job on going as heavy as possible on Burn Sets! WTG! I didn't notice the 20 minute per muscle group on the ICE workouts. The workouts do look good. Don't worry about giving up the on the STS rotation. The important thing here is to keep working out which you are doing.
It really is good not to have to worry about protein for lunch for a week. I've been making easy turkey or chicken recipes from skinnytaste.com for lunch and serving it over lettuce. I hope I can use the treadmill on a regular basis too.
Laurel, sounds like you did an awesome combo! Great job! Do you have a pull-up bar at home or do you use tubbing? I am liking getting the quick walks at work. Today I found out that the best time to get into the gym and have the place to myself is in the early morning. You've been talking about the Body Beast program that I am tempted to get it. Of course I've been resisting looking at the youtube videos on this program because then temptation to get the program increases. The words "familiar moves" keep popping into my head all day long (your fault Laurel! LOL) and it makes me want to get this Body Beast program. I'd have to modify and be careful not to over do things so I don't hurt myself. Looks lke the base kit is very affordable which is nice.
Tami, bummer on missing your class last night even if it was a repeat of last week. Awesome combo for you today too! Great job! Laurel is definitely making me want to get the BB program. The base kit is $40. This is SOOOO tempting! Saw the clips for the ICE program and I like what she's doing for abs. The kickboxing workout clip looks just like her others.
I am really enjoying the little treadie sessions at work. I agree with you on better to work the day after Thanksgiving than being back at your old job!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Last night I did X10 Fat Burning, that one is a lot of fun and these X10 workouts are really growing on me. I followed that with Burn Sets Back, could have gone a little heavier so will make sure that I do that next week. This morning I did 30MTF Bootcamp Cardio Premix.
Here is pricing information on the H&C products from Total Fitness totalfitnessdvds.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=39
Laurel, Glad to hear that you are still getting in a great workout with BB even after the third round. I can't believe that you are already into the third week of this phase. No the weight work is one body part, and they are not incorporated on one DVD. Each body part is on a different DVD. It reminds me a bit of CTX, and for the advanced people she included the Blizzard Blasts. There are a huge amount of premixes on each DVD also. I agree with you with the On Demand option with BB, I was looking at it more yesterday and have decided that I will not do that with that company. Cathe on the other hand is a much better option.
Tami, To bad on forgetting the bottoms, but sounds like you didn't miss to much on the bootcamp class. If they still don't have it up on the BB site I supplied the one from Total Fitness. She is usually pretty prompt about getting the information up on her site. I'm wondering if the Deluxe DVD's are worth the price of $45 and two of the workouts are 15 Min. But the use of the med ball does make me want them. I know that I don't need a med ball, so I'm not getting the deluxe package.
Thelma, WTG on the workout! That is what I was thinking with the workouts, I just need to do something. I think that it was reading what Cathe said for this months rotation that finally made me realize that I would probably miss to many workouts, because I didn't have the time. I then saw her rotation, and knew that it was very doable for this month. That is a very good price for the base kit, probably one of the least expensive for a BB product.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! I started today with BB Bulk Arms and upped the weight on a few moves. Wow. Then, being me, I was once again in a cardio funk and couldn't decide what to do for cardio. So I decided on something new. I started with X10 Cardio Blast and then went right into Tapout XT Cardio XT. Double Wow!! That Tapout workout is no joke!! I did it with my gloves on, and my arms were singing at the end. So was my heart! This is a great cardio workout that really is also an all-over body workout. I loved it! There isn't much fun factor here, but the feeling at the end was kind of like I get with Insanity--feeling really good for having done a tough workout. I don't know if this series blends well with Body Beast, but I may try a few more while I finish Body Beast and maybe pair Tapout XT up with ICE. We'll see......
Tami, sorry to hear about the BC class.....not only sorry you missed it but sorry it was the same as last week. I definitely want to read some reviews of Hammer and Chisel before I buy it. But I did read some info on the Beachbody site the other day, and I liked that they emphasized this isn't a program for weight loss. To me, that tells me it is strength training only, and that makes me more interested in it. So......waiting patiently for reviews on-line. Or not so patiently!!
Thelma, love that Rockout Knockout workout! I do not have a pull-up bar currently. I used to use one that went into a door frame, but I didn't want to drill into the door frames of our new house when we moved in. So I have been using a heavy band. I have a feeling the pull-up bar may be put into place within the coming year as the newness of the house wears off and we continue to make it a 'home'. No doubt I get a better workout with a pull-up bar, but I do modify it so it is kind of like how Cathe does her pull-ups in STS. In other words, I am not straight up and down, hanging. I am on the floor and pulling up. Can't do the hanging pull-ups at all because of my shoulders. Anyhow, regarding BB, it is a good value for money. There is nothing new here, but it does put emphasis on challenging weights. If you are serious about it, I would suggest watching the videos in YouTube to see if modifications would work for you. I modify some moves (he does his dead lifts with bent legs and I prefer straight leg deadlifts as an example) and still find it very effective. Ask any questions you might have!!
Laurie, love those X10 workouts!! They are so versatile. Thanks for the link on Hammer and Chisel. I find the price of the set pretty reasonable! Like you, though, I am torn on the deluxe DVDs. I have awhile to decide since I still have several weeks left in Body Beast and then ICE to look forward to as well. One of the things I liked about CTX was she did put all her upper body work into one workout, which is one of my favorite upper body workouts. But I think these ICE segments may be too long for that, so I understand why she wouldn't do a 100 minute upper body workout! I love the premixes she has done though as they seem to provide any type of workout or workout length for any given day. Cathe truly has mastered premixes! Thanks again for motivating me to try Tapout XT!!
Until tomorrow!

Hi Ladies ~ Last night's Insane X class was a good one. We did 5 circuits at 1 min. each, 5 times. In between we would run/sprint stairs for 5 minutes before our next round. It was tough, but good. I did find out that one of my friends from the gym "a regular" in all the same classes I take won for the overall ladies in the Biggest Loser finale last week! I had a feeling she might. She lost 23 lbs. I was super happy for her, she was one of the ladies who had asked me this past summer what I eat, etc. she was feeling really frustrated with her weight; so she got completely back on track and did awesome! This a.m. was STS Back/Bi's and tonight I will head to Spinning after work.
Laurie: Thank you for that link! I did find them on "teambeachbody.com" but it was for the extra deluxe set with Shakeology or other supplements for $160. I am sure they will have just like this site with other packages. Super excited about these, I did read up on some of the workouts last night once I found them and they sound really good. Now that I know I don't have to pay $160 I am even more excited .... could potentially add on the BB program as affordable as that is. Great job with X10 . . . I do various workouts/pre-mixes a lot with this rotation because it is schedule at least once or twice a week. Good stuff, love them
Laurel: Way to go with yet another great BB workout! How fun that you tried one of the Tapout workouts; sounds like it was REALLY good. That's so great. I am very happy to hear Cathe has once again included a bunch of pre-mixes with ICE. I haven't read about them yet but will find out soon I am sure. I would like to say that I will wait to read reviews on H&C but I think I will probably go for it. So far what I have read and seen has been good.
Thelma: Great job getting in Rockout Knockout for your other workout yesterday! That is such a fun one. I have been thinking of incorporating some KB workouts into my rotation I am currently on; just missing the variety and fun of those. Yes, I agree (as you can tell from previous posts) I am very tempted on the BB series as well. The price makes it a pretty easy decision if I know I will like it and use it.
Hope you ladies have a great evening! Talk to you tomorrow .......

Hi Ladies, RWH Legs. I did one of the scrambled premixes and it felt like a different workout to me. I was able to get some treadmill time at work too which is nice.
Laurie, great workouts! Those X10 workouts are really good. Thanks for the link. I wish they wouldn't force you to buy the extra stuff. I don't know that I'd want to pay an extra $45 for those two DVDs. I think those little containers are seriously overpriced too.
A short workout is better than no workout. Just keep adjusting your rotation with shorter workouts if that is all you have time for. I agree that BB is one of the cheaper programs BB offers.
Laurel, WOW lady! That sounds like a killer combo! WTG!!!
When I was doing P90X I was going to get a pull-up bar but thought better of it. Who was I kidding? There is no way I could pull myself up. I will keep using tubing for pull-ups. Thanks for the suggestion to look at the BB videos in YouTube. I did see a couple of short ones last night and that is why i thought I could modify. The idea of dead lifts with bent legs sounds so wrong! I've never done that way but I think I would also prefer the straight leg ones.
Tami, so glad your Insane X was good! Congrats to your friend for winning the BL ladies challenge! KB workouts are fun. Cathe has some good ones. I also recommend the KCM step boxing workout. It's different and fun. The BB workout is affordable. I will follow Laurel's advice and will watch more BB videos to see if I can really modify.
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday I gave up my head of hair again to my dd for a PERM! My MIL cancelled at the last minute, and as my dd is crying (because she would get a failing grade, since this is their test), I told her if they didn't have anyone to fill in the spot I would do it. So I now have a head of curly hair, but she did the largest rollers and used a more relaxed perm solution. She of course did a great job, my curls are really pretty. I just had flashbacks to the late 80's early 90's perms I used to get.
After my hair was done, I got home and did XTrain Cardio Leg Blast, and since the Burn Set Bi's was on that DVD I included that also. This morning I thought I was pulling out an easy workout, but KCM's 30MTF Cardio Quick Fix Workout 2 starts out easy, and then proceeds to get tough. It is similar to her Cardio Blast workout, but actually more intense. I ended up loving it.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts! That Cardio XT is a surprise, and I agree with you in that it makes you feel accomplished afterwards. It had enough different moves in it to make it interesting to do. I'm glad that I was able to give you motivation for trying out that workout. I still have not tried all the workouts, but hoping to try the rest of them in the upcoming year. I think the set is reasonable also, I'm going to wait for reviews of the Deluxe workouts before I push the buy button. Oh yes Cathe has some of the best premixes out there, but people still complain. It amazes me how we humans can never be satisfied with certain things.
Tami, Sounds like a good class, and of course getting in your weight work. I had the same idea about adding in the BB program. It is a good deal, and going from H&C into BB might be a really fun rotation to try. The total fitness site always has what Beachbody doesn't seem to publish unless you are on a coaches site. The lady that runs this site is a BB Coach, so that is why I always check her site first. I don't need the Shakology, so really see no use for that type of package.
Thelma, Love those Premixes! They really do have a different feel to them. I agree with you on the extra stuff, it makes you wonder how much they would charge for just the weighted ball! Glad that Cathe has been using that piece of equipment in her workouts for a while. I think last nights workout was the longest that she has for this month. Already feeling like I made the right decision. Adding on the 30MTF workouts is probably helping also.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Another great Body Beast workout today with Bulk Back. I really love that I am not bored with this series yet! I find that challenging myself with the weight each time I do a workout (like I do in STS Meso 3) really keeps me focused on what I am doing and not thinking 'I am doing this again?' Love that. For cardio.....I did Tapout Plyo XT! I guess I liked yesterday's workout enough to reach for another one today. This workout is 51 minutes long and is NOT P90X PlyoX. It is more of a cardio workout as there are few breaks. He also adds punches to most moves, giving it a more total body feeling. And it is a killer workout for the legs as he really keeps the legs under almost constant tension throughout. Again, not much fun factor, but a good workout. These Tapout workouts are not as polished as P90X or Insanity, that's for sure. They remind me more of S90 in production quality, but the workouts are good. I also did Ultimate Abs XT, which is a pretty tough ab workout.
Yesterday I was trying to research Hammer and Chisel and Body Beast 2, and from what I could tell yesterday, Hammer and Chisel IS Body Beast 2. Has anybody else seen that? Apparently they were going to try to make a female friendly Body Beast and it turned into this. I am perfectly good with that since it means the premise of Body Beast (bodybuilding) is in Hammer and Chisel which makes me more inclined to just hit 'buy' right now. I never imagined I would enjoy Body Beast this much, that's for sure.
Tami, sounds like a good class. Congrats to your friend on winning the competition!! What great and positive reinforcement for her. I bet that makes her happy. I think Cathe has between 10 and 20 premixes on these new workouts, which is incredible. Really excited to get them. Like I said above, I may not be waiting for Hammer and Chisel reviews either! But I need to figure out a schedule first so I know what my plan is next. Don't want to overwhelm myself with choices post-Body Beast!
Thelma, I love how the premixes in RWH make the workouts so different. I think you would like the basic strength training moves in Body Beast. One thing Sagi does, though, is he actually speeds up his rep count when lifting heavier weight (does more of an explosive move with heavier weight). I slow down with heavier weight to be careful. So I go at my own pace and I think that is something you would probably benefit from as well. He does do some shoulder moves (like Arnold presses) that involve some twisting of the arms (from palms facing towards you to away) that you could modify to basic shoulder presses if that twisting action irritates your shoulder blades. But I am hard-pressed to think of a move that you couldn't easily modify in the series. And something I keep forgetting to mention.....he closes every workout with a core move. So there are some planks and such at the end of some workouts, but his core moves are not as extreme as Cathe's so.....there you go. Again, ask any questions you have, but I remain sold on these.
Laurie, on the perm!! That word makes me think of the 80s too!! But it sounds like your daughter did a great job. What a fantastic mom to step in and do that for her! Hope you like the curls. I imagine they might be a fun change. Have you ever done the PlyoXT workout? There are some tricky moves in there that I thought might bother my knee, but I modified and was fine. But it really is a good non-weighted leg workout, that's for sure.
See you all tomorrow!

Hi Ladies ~ Last night's Spinning was a good one. Katy never fails, that's forsure! She even announced to us that she was tired and had sore legs. She apparently busted through that feeling in 5 min.
This a.m. was X10 and I chose the X54 pre-mix, which was great. I was feeling the "tireds" this a.m. but pushed through. No workout tonight, so it will be a relaxing, fix dinner and spend a little time hanging out with DH before bed. Today is my One Year at New Job! 
I have received some nice congrats e-mails, hugs and sincere appreciation for being here. They don't realize it is me that appreciates being here the MOST! Tomorrow after work is our Christmas Party. Right here at the office and this year we don't have to rush out to another party . . . I am so glad. We (DH & I) can just enjoy our time and hanging out with the rest of the gang.
Laurel: Another amazing combo today! Glad to hear the Tapout workouts are also being included in the lineup and you are enjoying them. I am also SOLD on the BB due to your marvelous reviews and the pricing. The TotalFitness DVD price that Laurie gave us the link too is also only $39.95 so that is awesome.
I also found that same thing in researching/trying to find anything on Body Beast 2; that it is the Hammer & Chisel program. So that says a lot for the program for those of you who have done BB I would say.
I know what you mean on figuring out a schedule ... with Cathe's "new" ones coming soon PLUS my potential "Merry Christmas Moments" to me I will definitely have a hard time figuring out what is next. Yikes! But it is a happy challenge I am willing to take on. I think I see a shared rotation coming on this year with all of us in it!
Laurie: Laughing so hard and smiling big for your "sacrifice" for your daughter's grade! You are a good Mom Laurie that is forsure. I remember getting the "spiral" perms in the 80's and my mind went right to that. LOL But big rods and looser curls are probably fantastic. I am glad it turned out! That is so great. It will probably relax faster than a normal perm that you were used to having in the past. I didn't realize that TotalFitness site was a BB coach; I have definitely made orders on her site and love it. Smart of her to get right on that H&C posting!
Thelma: Great job getting in RWH Legs. Always fun when you try a new pre-mix and enjoy it. Kind of like the Rockout Knockout Scrambled pre-mix; probably wouldn't have tried it unless it was on our rotation and I love it. I have one of KCM Step Kick Boxing workouts but I haven't done it in a very long time; it was a good one from what I remember though. Great idea on seeing if you feel like you can make modifications; but I imagine from what Laurel has said on BB, it will not be hard at all to make it work for you.
Hope you ladies enjoy the rest of your day . . and evening. I will talk to you tomorrow!

Hi Ladies, RWH Legs. Party Rockin' Step 2 tonight. I hadn't done that one in a very looooong time! I was a little frustrated with the last combo but I was already feeling tired and was having a hard time following the steps. As always I kept moving. I didn't have a chance to use the treadmill at work today. I had to leave early to go see the rheumatologist and everything is good.
Laurie, OMG! You're such a great and brave mom!!! I'm so glad you like your curls! Great workouts!!! Have you done BB yet? You own it already right? Cathe does have the best premixes out there. I'm sure BB is charging tripple the prize of that ball.
Laurel, another winning combo! Amazing job! Thanks for all that info on BB. I really think that I'll be able to modify the move. It's not like I can lift heavy and I'm very careful with the shoulders since they seem to be my weak spot. I like that Sagi ends the workouts with abs!
Interesting that the Hammer and Chisel is BB2!
Tami, I'm glad your spinning class was good. I bet people were happy when Katy announced she was tired and sore thinking they'd get an easy workout. LOL. You are funny too feeling the "tireds" this morning and also busted through that feeling with X54 no less! LOL I hope you have a relaxing evening. Congrats on your first anniversary at work! I can't believe it's been a year already! Have fun at the Xmas party too!
I think we need to do an ICE/BB rotation. Sounds like Laurie already has BB. You and I are thinking of getting BB and Laurel is giving BB 5 stars. Maybe Laurel can come up with the rotation for us! Laurel, what do you say?
I was just reading the C&H description and 2 of the workouts are 15m ea. They must be killer workouts! Looks like total fitness DVD's gives you the same BB package Beach Body does. You get 5 DVDs and Amazon only gives you 4. With Total Fitness you can get 10% off
Good night ladies!

Hi Ladies! Got my workout in today. We have rain and the cloudy weather has me in the mood to do a little Christmas shopping! So off to the mall I go.....until it drives me crazy. I will probably be home in an hour. Anyhow, my workout started with Bulk Shoulders and I followed it with an all cardio combo of Hard Strikes and Rockout Knockout.
Tami, sounds like a good spin class. I can't believe you have been in your job for a year. And how wonderful that they acknowledged it! Sounds like a great group of people. Hope you enjoy the Christmas party. I am in on a group rotation next year, that's for sure. And thank you for confirming what I saw about Hammer and Chisel/Body Beast 2.
Thelma, that's a very tricky workout, so I understand the frustration. Good job pushing through. I would love to come up with an ICE/Body Beast rotation! Thinking off the top of my head, I would imagine it would involve substituting the Body Beast work for the strength training sessions in ICE. I would have to give that some thought, especially when it comes to the length of workouts. But we'll know more when we get ICE. Can't wait!
Laurie, hope you are well.
Off to shop! Wish me luck. Not my favorite thing anytime of the year, but this time of year.......
. However, I am determined to keep my good spirits intact today. Enjoy the weekend!

Morning Ladies,
I received a very nice present from my DH for being such a great Mom! He bought a ornament, and it was a little yellow cottage with a great big green G in the middle! It was so cute, and of course it made me tear up. I then realized that this was my very first Packer ornament! I didn't workout last night, I just got home to late. Cathe's rotation has two rest days, so I'm just moving the workouts. This morning I did 30MTF Cardio Pump Workout 1, which is the Boxing workout. I used my weighted gloves, so really got those shoulders good.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts! I have not done that workout yet, but he does incorporate punching moves in his other workouts also. I think it was Mauy Thai that I did that also, and I remember loving that one. I think it was Cardio XT that was on a different set, more like a gym? Some of the outfits that the women wear are pretty skimpy, and then of course the guys without their shirts! I too have to modify moves for my knees, did that on Wednesday with Cardio Leg Blast and the jumping up on the step. My knee has been acting up recently, probably being out in the cold weather is making it achy. LOL about the female friendly Body Beast! I'm hoping that Sagi makes the female portion of these H&C workout tough! Saw that you posted as I was typing. Enjoy your shopping, and hope that it isn't crazy.
Tami, Congrats on your one year anniversary! That is so great that you received those accolades, they don't do things like that around here. Probably way to many people to do that. Glad to hear that you had a great spin class with Kati, and of course getting in that X54! My dd is pretty funny about this perm, she doesn't want me to wash my hair until that correct time frame. I think it has to do with her taking pride in doing such a good job. I will follow her instructions, but the very first time that I can add conditioner to my hair it is going in! She has two pages to order from, this one on total fitness and then she has one for the coaches site. If you are doing the on demand, she says that you have to use the bb coach site.
Thelma, WTG on the Knockout workout! I don't have the Body Beast program yet, but will be ordering it along with Hammer and Chisel. It just looks like a great program, and of course Laurel giving it the thumbs up. I have been thinking about getting BB for a long time, and I think this is the perfect time to get it. I have to get used to my curls, they are way better than the waves that I have in my natural hair. Actually look like curls. I think you have a good idea with ICE and BB!
Have a great weekend!
