Cathe Fans Part 5

Morning Ladies,

No workout for me yesterday, was just to tired. This morning I did Kickstart Your Metabolism with Chris Freytag. Youngest has her drivers ed classes in the evenings for the next three weeks, so that will cut down on some evening workouts. Or I just have to make some adjustments.

Laurel, Glad that you found something that is re-energizing you. I can't do crane either, so I always do the easier move for that one. I have his One on One yoga workout, that is about 45 min. long. That one is good, and he doesn't do to many super twisty moves. :laugh: Enjoy the conference, and when you have a chance to talk do tell us how you are doing.

Tami, Oh I am doing the same thing with the Olympic coverage. I eat my breakfast watching some of the things going on in the morning. This morning was the mens Tri. Of course the Brit won, so the crowd went wild. Do enjoy seeing some of the buildings and history of London. Want to get there some day. We are finally getting some nice weather, it really is a relief to not be in those high 90's.

Erika, Welcome back from vacation! LOL on you DH dragging the family away from the water parks. :laugh: Hope you are able to find something that appeals to you for your after vacation workouts. It took me a while to find something that I was comfortable with.

Have a wonderful day!
Laurie

Morning Ladies,

Sorry I was MIA yesterday, but my day was really busy. I think everybody needed parts to order starting off right when I got to work. No workout yesterday, wasn't feeling all that great. Made up for it this morning by doing 10lb Slimdown Xtreme Upper Body, Recovery Upper Body and Skogg Intervals Level 2.

Erika, We waited until dd was 15-1/2, and it appears that my brother did the same thing because his son is in class with my dd. :laugh: He is a month younger than my dd. She gets to do her on the road driving in the snow, so we will see how this goes. I know that feeling of not wanting to workout, but I'm finding it easier to do each day.

Tami, Not knowing what to do each day would make me worry. :laugh: I'm really ready for faire to be over with, it really makes me tired for the rest of the week. No motivation at home when I get off work. I'm hoping this weekend will be better, we are suppose to get temps in the 70's. Nice workouts though even if you don't have a specific rotation.

Have a great day!
Laurie

Hi Ladies ~ Happy Monday :ohwell: :flowerforyou:

Good weekend of workouts which was what I had hoped for! :bigsmile: Let’s see Friday (since I missed you) I did STS Total Body, Sat. was To The Max and then yesterday I did Cardio Core Circuit followed by Slide & Glide, which is one that I haven’t done yet in her LIS. It was good, I can tell it will be some getting used to with the discs for that one but I’m up for the challenge! Kind of feel it in my hip flexor area .. Today is going to be Lower Body Blast. Since DH is gone still I am taking advantage of my home workouts.... instead of the Bootcamp running again this week. I am starting one of Cathe’s rotations for a few weeks, it is Lower Body intensive ….. adding in a day of total body and/or circuits as well.

Erika: Yes, had a nice weekend. It was very quiet without my DH there but between workouts, dog walks and just hanging outside I enjoyed the time … went by too fast as always! :sad: Sounds like you got in a nice Chalene workout Friday! I know about not getting up in the a.m. as of late. Sheesh! Good thing the Olympics are over. But yes, sometimes those cooler a.m. temps and it is so nice to just snuggle up in bed. Did you get a “plan” sorted out for workouts? I made myself at least write down this week so I’m not wondering what to do. Have fun at the movie tonight! I saw that one with my BFF! :bigsmile:

Laurie: Nice job with the JM workouts! Sounds like they are just what you need right now. Good to know those work well prior to you leaving for Faire. That’s great! Yes, Cathe has so many great rotations, I printed out a few of them that I saved over time and so combining a couple of them right now. Should be good! We will see where it leads me.

Talk to you tomorrow!
Tami

Morning Ladies,

Sorry I missed yesterday, just a very busy day for me. Started off the day with a headache, so I didn't workout. This morning was much better, and I got in 30 Day Shred Level 2, and Skogg Roots Level 2. Hoping to do something after work, but it gets hard when I have to be ready to take the youngest to her drivers ed class. Only a eight days left for her class. :drinker:

Tami, WTG on the workouts! Wonderful that you are adapting that rotation to work for you. Congrats on the great dental report, I still need to go in for a cleaning. I should have made the appointment right away, but they had a different receptionist and she didn't ask about making an appt.

Have a great day!
Laurie

Morning Ladies,

This morning was Jillian's Ripped in 30 Level 2, and 6 Week Six Pack Level 2. Both great workouts.

Tami, Have fun getting in some great workouts before you leave. The drivers ed classes are for 3 weeks, 2 hours each day. Then at the end of the class she takes the written test to get her temps. She said that she passed the practice test, so I'm guessing that she will do fine getting her temps. Then starts the open road, and they come to pick up the kid at our house. That part of it is really nice. If she where taking the class from the school, she would have to be dropped off. Paying extra $ for the private classes are worth it. :laugh: You are going to have a great time with your sis next week, does she workout like you do?

Have a wonderful day!
Laurie

Hi Ladies ~
No workout yet today :ohwell: I’m hoping to get it in tonight after work! I slept terrible last night :grumble: Not used to DH being back and the snoring/moving, etc.. Argh! Oh well, it is nice to have him back home though. Spinning was so great last night. She did a lot of hills, sprints and jumps but just the design of the class or structure I should say made it good!

Laurie: That sounds like a perfect combo today. :bigsmile: I was thinking of her 6-pack Level 2 the other day and then just ran out of time. Hope to fit that one in again. It does sound like a good trade off forsure with the private drivers ed class. That’s great! No, my sister does not work out at all. Which is actually surprising to me on one hand …. She was an awesome athlete through high school and went on to play collegiate Volleyball as well. Her senior year though she broke her ankle (twice) and had reconstructive surgery. After that and then on to her really full on career that involves tons of traveling she just never went back into the athletic lifestyle or working out at all. She is so busy it would be a miracle to squeeze something in. Between her job, traveling and two young boys I think she just tries to keep her head above water! She supports me and thinks it’s great that I workout like I do though.

Erika: Sorry to hear you have been sick! Hopefully you will be 100% very soon and can get back into the workouts and simply just feeling better! :flowerforyou:

Talk to you tomorrow ladies ~
Tami

Hi Ladies! I'm back!!!! :drinker: We had a great time in Florida at the conference, and I'm so glad we took a few days prior to that to enjoy some of South Caroline. We went up to see the USPGA Golf Championships, and just had a great day out in a beautiful part of our country (Kiawah Island, South Carolina). I've only been to two golf events now (the US Open last year and this event), and the same guy (Rory McIlroy) has won both times!! I'm thinking he needs to be throwing us some of his money to keep us coming back. :laugh: But, again, we just had a great time out and really enjoyed the time we spent up there.

I didn't get any workouts in those first few days. We did probably walk about 10-12 miles the day of the golf tournament, so I guess that counts. But it just felt so nice to have some relaxed mornings with DH and to enjoy long days out and about doing tourist things. We got down to Florida a week ago, and at least we golfed on Saturday morning with two other of the conference participants. I must admit, I've never been much of a Florida fan before this, but I really enjoyed the area around Jacksonville. The people were friendly, the golf was beautiful, and the weather (for August) wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

But Sunday it was back to business....and back to working out. I worked out each day of the conference which really amazed me because our days were SOOOOOO long. I am thoroughly exhausted, but I knew I would feel better if I did something those days....and I did. I did a combo of Cathe's LIS workouts, TF workouts, and Travel Fit. They weren't tough workouts, but at 5:00am after being out until after 11:00pm the night before....it was the best I could do. :yawn:

But I am trying to get back into my tougher workouts today. Emphasis on the word 'trying'. I started with Cathe's To The Max....and that is where I've gotten so far! We came home to brown water (like coffee brown), so as I was nearing the end of that workout, the guy to fix the water showed up. Wish he had called first. :grumble: Anyhow, once he drains the lines, I'm hoping to get in a total body workout to get my body used to weight work again.

Erika, sorry to hear you weren't feeling well, but I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. I'm glad you saw some benefit to the 4DS Chest work as well. It really is a good workout, but I really think it is important to do it at your own pace and your own weight!

Laurie, great workout today! I hope you enjoy your early afternoon off. I hope your weather has cooled off a bit like ours has so you can enjoy your weekend.

Tami, great job with the workouts as usual! It is so nice your sister supports you in what you do. That will be great when you head out there to see her soon!!

Michelle, I'm thinking about you during this moving process! :flowerforyou:

All right....the guy needs to talk to me about the water so I better go. Hope you all enjoy the weekend! It's great to be back!!

Laurel
