hey everybody...I started a new thread.
wonder if the forum got so messed up from all the stupid p.orn posts?
I feel so sorry for Ginger. she has to clean this up all the time. so childish & immature.:mad: ruins it for everyone else.

so how's everyone today? what's on tap for today?

[crm549]

Lori I was just getting ready to send you an email. People are absolutely ridiculous. Do they not have anything better to do. Like we can't go and find p.orn if we absolutely wanted to see it. I hate being force fed stuff.

I need to go brush my teeth and leave for work but will check back in later.

Do they not have anything better to do.


SaundraI know....so pathetic.
yesterday, I spent my entire day cleaning. I did wash all the floors & air-dryed out in the sun all our down comforters. washed the duvet covers. I'm glad I'm done with that.

just ready to pop in the shower. take Cheemo up to the drycleaners & I need stamps.
ran on the treadmill for a hour & did 1/2 hour of Classical Stretch. I love these workouts. I feel so long & lean. my book (that Classical Stretch book) still hasn't arrived. cheeses me off. amazon said it was in stock! ya, where? obviously not close to here!? I thought it would have been here by now.

I'll check back in awhile. see what you all are up to.

[Lori]

yay! I just tracked it & it shows it's delivered! (my book). it should be in my mailbox!:D

[Diane I]

Hi Ladies:

Anette I just finished the second week of Mesocycle 2, I think I am finally getting into it.


Lori I think we are going to go with Lowes for the kitchen cabinets, they are made of wood and the price is right, i don't care about designer names as long as it looks good and does the job.
I need to clean to but I am not feeling motivated to even get it started.


Saundra even my e-mail is getting filled with that junk, msn usually puts it in my junk box but a few of them slip through.
How do you move down in dumbells for STS I don't have that much of a variety of weights so I usually use my weighted gloved from G-Force.


Diane

[crm549]

I just saw a clip of Kimberly Spreen's new CIA workout that I have on pre-order and from the Clip, I don't like it.

Lori, did your book arrive?

Diane, I have pace weghts and platemates. The Pace weights lets you increase by 1/2 lbs increments. They are great. Each platemate is 1 1/4lbs. However, they really on work on hex - metal dumbells although I got teh pace weights to stick to my barbell plate.

That is cool about Lowes. I haven't been there is awhle but anytime I go there or Home Depot, I like to look the different kitchen cabinet setups that they have.

Saundra

[Lori]

yep, my book is here. it looks very complicated. a little dry & boring looking.
text book is right. looks like a medical book?! LOL
really technical looking. I'm sure I'll like it. looks interesting enough.
tons of chapters on all different parts of the body. even goes indepth with nutrition & cardio.

what don't you like the look of in Kimberly's clip? I used to love her stuff.

I know the feeling of the cleaning. some days are worse than others. I'm caught up right now. I hate it when I have a long "to-do list".

Diane, my spam folder too, is loaded with all that junk. & like you, some try & slip through also. it annoys the heck out of me.
girls at the VForum complain about it coming from this forum whenever they visit here?

are you going to get your cabinets this weekend? I know, nobody knows who made them other than you. who cares if their some fancy designer name. I agree 100%.

[Diane I]

Lori:
We are going to see if my brother can order the cabinets he gets a better discount.
They will take about 4 to 5 weeks to come. I am starting to feel like we are finally getting somewhere with this house.

I still have e-mailed Annette some pictures I missed placed my memory card for my camera.

Saundra what do you use for the chin-ups did I ask yo that question already?

Diane

[Lori]

I still have e-mailed Annette some pictures I missed placed my memory card for my camera.

hey, I feel left out. how come you never sent me any pictures:(

4-5 weeks...eck...I hate waiting. you'll be so happy to be finally in that house & all settled.:)

Annette, GET OFF THAT FACEBOOK!!!! we are back & running here!!!
share your pictures of your Firm trip here, darn it!

all that spam-y posting they are doing on our forum, looks like smudged ink? must be from some foreign countries? it's not even ledgible.

[Diane I]

Lori:
I think I e-mailed you pictures of my house a couple of months ago, I never e-mailed them to Annette.
I have e-mailed you any lately because not much has changed.


I wonder how a forum can block those spam threads?


Diane

[crm549]

It looks like the forum is still getting attack.

Diane, I used Tubing. But when Cathe releases the Power Tower I plan to get that.

Lori, does the book hav a lot of pictues. If it didn't that would irritate me. I am a visual person. From the clip, it didn't look like a good workout. It also look like there was much energy.
http://www.collagevideo.com/item.aspx?item=5704 Here is the clip. I might change my mind once I get it.

As far as cleaning, I am always behind. With laundry too.


Saundra

[Lori]

hmmm....It seems slower paced than her usual stuff? your right, though, still go with it. It might be alright. you can't always go by the clip. there was only one of her last dvds that I didn't like. she's reliable on having good workouts.

your right, this forum is under seige! worse than ever!!! poor Ginger.
Diane, I don't know how you would combat this. Saundra, do you have any idea?
I know other forums are able to control it? or at least I don't see it as bad as this.
I'm just glad we are still able to have our daily chats.
I feel sorry for the other gals that had the same thing going here as we all did. I don't see them posting back yet.

oh, that made me feel better Diane. LOL, I thought you had some new pictures.
as far as the camera goes. I am so bad for draining the battery. I forget to turn the camera off all the time.
which reminds me. did you ever get your bathtub & vanity straightened all out?

Power Tower? Saundra, explain please.

the book has a ton of pictures! some very graphic, actual innard pictures. not just drawings. no kidding. looks gross. something you'd get in school. LOL
creepy looking bone tissue. the spine. barfy looking muscle tissue.
very fine print. worth the $70 (I think, I guess I'll know once I start reading it).
better than expected. guessing it was worth the wait.
if I learn anything of importance, I'll fill you gals in.;)

I will miss another ANTM. DH's team made it into the playoffs. I used to go watch every game once upon a time. I feel guilty. I rarely go anymore. I used to have the excuse of Cheemo being a puppy. he's almost 8 years old, can't really use that as an excuse anymore. LOL
it's so darn cold in those rinks! & the guys are getting slow & old, boring. LOL...not very nice of me. especially I can't even skate. but, it isn't like watching professional hockey for sure. oh well.

I'll check in with you all tomorrow. have a nice evening girls.

[Diane I]

Lori:
We did get the vanity straightened out, they just exchanged it. The tub we just returned, you just reminded me we never did go get another one.

Diane

[annette b.]

Hi y'all,

Yep it spring time with home improvement projects and cleaning. The only cleaning I manage to do today is cleaning the counters and sweeping the floor. The kids have been here this week. Dave is home tomorrow and Friday, "no rest for the weary" as Jan Karon writes, "and the wicked don't need none." I think I fall between both statements!

Thanks for starting thread here. People dooo have waaay toooo much time to do p.orn sites. I get them every now and then. Don't they know I really don't need viagra but new workouts!

Did manage to workout yesterday: Muscle Shaping and Cardio and today Legs and cardio. I am do so done.

Dave has hinted about going to church on Thursday and Friday for service. Hopefully they will go Thursday and Friday at 12:00, at least I'll have another night for myself. Those are rare.

When ever y'all feel the need to come and clean and re-decorate feel free!!

I was reading Gwynn's results on FB, she is doing STS as well. Wow what impressive results she is having. I guess the shock to the body does work. Not only do I need a shock but several shots of something or another to get rid of my fat :D

Happy Hump Day, see I got it right this time. Y'all have a great night!

[crm549]

Lori you didn't miss anything with ANTM. The show was about unshown footage that didn't air. That episode always irritates me because all it is is drama drama drama.

The Power Tower is a unit Cathe developed to help home users do pullups and chinups. You can also use it to hold weights that you bench press. Cathe does not recommend using it as a squat rack however.

Lori I thought the book was just going to be a showing of the different classical stretches that one could do.

Annette, speaking of spring cleaning, I was thinking I need to move my refrigerator and stove out and sweep behind there. But who has time for all that.

Diane, have you also been using tubing for the pullup/chinups? I don't think there are any in Mesocycle 3. I will start that Monday.

Checking in with Core Rhythms Latin Synergy and Dance off the inches - Dance it Off Ballroom.


Saundra

[Lori]

Don't they know I really don't need viagra but new workouts!

that is too funny! so true! LMAO
& yes, you did get it right this week. maybe us typing hump day, is getting those "people" excited?:rolleyes:

that Power Tower sounds really cool. what a great tool. do you have any idea when that will come out?

glad I didn't miss anything on ANTM. I need to watch it soon, or I'll really start losing interest. they keep playing clips on upcoming episodes on the commercial breaks & I miss watching it.

as for not ever being caught up on housework. you all have a reason! you work. I don't really have an excuse now do I?!

the naming of Classical Stretch is rather misleading. one would think it's just stretching.
it's really a play on words. it's eccentric strengthening.
elongating & strengthening muscles. alot taken from ballet training. PNF training.
it is a text actually for getting a certificate for instructing. or a guide for personal trainers & medical trainers.
the graphic pictures are like those real human displays at those museum exhibitions. people without the skin. it's gross.
very interesting though. gets alittle dry & boring at times. I'm learning alot.
kinesiology, physiology anatomy. muscular skeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, renal & respiratory.
great read....if you like that kind of stuff.
I'm already into Chapter 9. hard for me to put down.
I just finished reading about fascia.
ok, I'll shut-up now, probably boring you all to death. I know that look DH gives me, when I start to lose em'.

Diane, you did tell us you had to return that set (tub & vanity). I thought you might have gotten something else. when do you think you might be all finished?

I hardly slept last nite. shivered the entire nite, I swear. that's what it's like after sitting in the rink. for me anyway. I better sign off for now. pay some bills & act like I'm doing something productive around here. LOL

Saundra, how did you like this last Core Rhythms?

check up with you all later.

[crm549]

Well, Lori at least you are enjoy reading it.

I think Latin Synergy is my favorite so far. It combine almost all the Latin Dances and it didn't seem as repetitive.
I also really like Dance It off Ballroom - althougth I didn't think the music was as good as Core Rhythm's music. Lori this is definately a case of where you can't judge a clip by the workout because I had originally pre-order the workout but cancelled it after I saw the clip. But then I saw it last month I think - at Amazon for $6.49 and purchased it.

I still have one more Core Rhythm (Samba Fusion) to do - actually three more but the other two will have to wait, but then maybe I will try to fit them in on Sunday after my run and then I can say I have done all my Core Rhythm workouts. I will do Samba Fusion tomorrow along with Dance Off The Inches Country Line Dancing.

I have to work late Friday night. I won't come in until 8pm. Don't know what time I will leave.

Sorry to hear you didn't have a good night's sleep. I don't know when the Power Tower will be out. Hopefully sometime this year.

Saundra

[Lori]

Saundra, when are you going to try your Lisa Rinna's?

ya, I don't totally go by clips anymore. & I definitely don't go by other's opinions or reviews totally either. I'll weigh-in alittle into the factor.
we're all different & don't like the same things. so many times I've hated stuff, when people loved it. & vice versa.
I always like it when I do buy one that has been panned & I end up really liking it.
I've done it with my own self. I've hated some dvds & then years later, liked them?

I feel rather lazy today. not enough sleep maybe?

$6.49! how can you go wrong? it's so cheap to work out at home now. way cheaper than joining a gym.

I envy you on those dance dvds. I saw the infomercial last Saturday for Core Rhythms while I was on the treadmill.
it looks like so much fun.
I am so clumsy & uncoordinated when it comes to any choreography. LOL
the results of the "real" people were amazing too.

Friday nite's work...how come so late? yuk. will you still go to class Saturday?

gosh my my computer is so slow. maybe it needs to be re-booted or something. it keeps freezing up too?

[crm549]

No class on Saturday. It is spring break weekend.
We are having an outage at work and I need to be here for the duration.

I have no ideal when I am going to get to Lisa Rinna's stuff. I really need to stop buying DVDs. I can't keep up. I am actually going to try to put some on sale at EBAY, but I will check here first to see if you, Diane, or Annette want any. No charge for any of you of course.

Lori, I like reading other review especially when they are so off based from what I thought. I am like "What planet where they on?":) Just kidding. I know we are different and it is amazing that the things we pick up on as individuals. Something that I might not even think twice about, may be a deal breaker for other people.

When you were doing Yoga a lot, we were talking about the sets and you asked me do I like narration voiceover or for the instructor to speak as she is doing it. Almost always if I see a workout with narration, I will skipped right passed it.

There were many times I felt uncoordinated with some of the moves in Core Rhythms. However with the other dance workouts, that really hasn't been the case so far. We will see how I do with Country Line Dancing tomorrow.


Saundra

[Lori]

...the voice gets to me on some instructors. if they start to sound condescending I get really turned off. I don't like being talked down to, or like a baby or moron. other people like that. I guess it depends whether your a beginner too. or where you are at in stages of your life & fitness level.
I can't figure out raves still about the Wave?? LOL....that to me, was the straw that broke the camel's back? still makes me shake my head. LOL

well, if you had a few troubles with the choreography, I can imagine how pathetic I would be!

very nice of your gesture Saundra. but, count me out. I just got rid of my dvds & I vow to stick with running & the CS (for now, at least?!)
but, I appreciate you even including me. being out of the country. sending you good karma for the offer. thank you.
I feel bad now, because I should have offered you all the ones I gave to Salvation Army. I totally drew a blank on that. forgot all about you gals.:confused:
so sorry. I think you all had most of the yoga titles anyhow? you didn't miss out on anything, really.

ahh, spring break. do you get the week off also?

speaking of Annette & Diane.....what are they up to? what kind of trouble...?

signing off for the day. have a nice relaxing evening.

[Diane I]

Lori:
I was up to digging up the garden and I am pretty wiped out. Then I planted a few things and tried to get some laundry done.
I can't believe the week is almost over at least for me the week went by fast.
Yesterday was the only day where I kind of lazed around.

Saundra I want the pull up tower also I wonder what the price is going to be like? Did you get the weighted vest?
Working late on a Friday night how stinky.

Annette i don't know whats up with these e-mails in my junk mail folder its either p.orn stuff or some phramacy trying to sell stuff. When you try to say you don't want their mail it comes back saying undeliverable.
Did you get all of your pictures posted?

Diane


Treadmill and a.m.yoga for me today all with a section of ab hits. I haven't walked this week which was fine with me, I was feeling wiped out.

[crm549]

Well, I am still at work. Will be here another hour or so.

Yeah Diane, what stinks about it is the short notice. I can usually handled anything if I know about it in advance.

Lori you had me laughing there and I so agree with you about the Wave. I think one workout I thought was okay and that was Allison's Rock It off. However, if you look at Collage, I don't think the review are all that great.

Alright. I am off to do other stuff and will talk with you tomorrow.


Saundra

[annette b.]

Hi y'all,

Diane, sorry I didn't get pics. And I am glad I went into work today, Dave is home today and tomorrow. I work tomorrow anyway. Glad to be away for peace and quiet! That is for sure!

Lori, I am the rare ones that goes by both clips and views. I can always trade and sale. You are right Saundra, there are some off the wall reviews.

Saundra, just email me, I might be interested. The Wave classes I enjoyed, so I can't really comment on The Wave dvds. They have a wooden one at The Firm which I enjoyed working out instead of the plastic one.

It was such a nice day, had the sunroof open, jamming to the music!

Did manage to do Upper Body and short cardio.

I need to clean and get laundry done, the most I have done this week was sweep the kitchen floor and cleaned the counters off.

Y'all have a great night TGIF! Even though it is Good Friday service. I think Dave and kids are goin' at 12:00.
