Firm Checkin!!! Jan. 2 thru 8th

[s&k'smom]

Luvmydogs your fabulous.

Well it's 5:30am here on the North Shore and I just was working out for about 10 minutes when DS woke up. He's hoping for a snow day. Anywhooo ordered the new firm workout III last night and two of the older tapes. I find they really compliment each other. I really needed to add some new tapes as I feel like I've hit the wall so to speak. And need to jump start things. Let's just say things are "settling" around my mid section!

I didn't work out this morning. I was just too tired and sore. I took a personal day off work for tomorrow so I'll do a nice long work out then, probably my fav Complete Body Sculpting with Christa.

Kim - thanks for coming out of the closet about sending me the Cathe video! I just didn't want to embarass you with all my gushing about my wonderful "lovely" WISH-sis that so generously sent me Cathe. You are a doll, but you know that already!

s&k'smom - it's so nice to have you back posting with us. We have missed you!

cobbler, Melanie, Norma, Tracy, Sheree and anyone else I'm forgetting, have a great day! I gotta run now.

Good morning fellow firmies!

My new DVD's arrived yesterday afternoon and I was like a kid with new toys on Christmas day. This morning I did Calorie Killer with Nancy and Cardio Sculpt Blaster with Lisa. Then I did Workout 1 of Firm Abs, also with Nancy. Firm Abs has 3 progressively harder workouts, each lasting 8 to 10 minutes. Boy am I tired, but I feel soooo good.

Kim: I agree about Allie. I think she's great. I think I immediately gravitated toward her because of all the instructors her body type is closest to mine. Plus I love her personality. Hey, my ds plays basketball also. I remember when he started in 3rd grade; they were so cute. Now he's 14 and over 6 feet tall, but I still think he's cute. Enjoy and cherish this time with your ds; it goes so fast.

Melanie: Good luck in the marathon. All your training has paid off. Be sure and smile for the camera when you cross the finish line.

Lisa: Way to go with the Cathe workout! It's great that you continue to challenge yourself.

Sheree: You continue to amaze and impress me with your double workouts. That's so GREAT!

Cobbler: I haven't heard of Super Sculpting. Who's the instuctor? Is it an older tape? What's it like? After a while all the titles seem to blend together.

Keep up the hard work Firmies!!

Good morning having coffee by the PC. Just finished Lower body I with Lisa Kay. Good fast workout. I'm dying for my new tapes to come. I think I need new weights two. Looking at my waist line while working out is not pretty. I have that classic Irish shape all goes to my waist.

What's up for the weekend? I have a date with DH. I'm so happy to be back with you guys I can't tell you.

Good morning gals. Sounds like everyone is doing super with their workouts so far this year. How exciting is that!!!!

Yesterday I did Super cardio, I am proud I did it because I sooooooo didn't want to do that video but I did the whole thing with the 8" step and 5lb weights or the 4limb sections, yee hee

Norma, super sculpting is an older video, its post classic but pre-goodtimes (pre bss1). It has Nancy T, Jen Carmen, Dale and Carissa as the leads. It is to go along with super cardio, they were kind of a set when they released them. Its a good workout, not to tough but definately gets the job done.

Hello to everyone else

Today is a rest day

Have a good one!

 

[luvmydogs]

Good Friday Morning FIRMies!

Oh s&k's mom! We are soooo happy to have you back--you have really been missed! When I first read your post where you said you're on the "North Shore", I got this immediate visual of you surfing the waves in Hawaii! Hang Ten, Bra'! Have an great time on your date with dh and once again, WELCOME BACK!

Hi Lisa! Oh, it's so nice that you've taken a day off from work--I know things have been crazy for you there and you certainly deserve some rest! Enjoy working out with Christa today, and I hope you get a chance for some relaxing "Me Time." I was going to tell you to veg out on the couch and eat some bon bons (just what are bon bons, anyway?!), but I know that as the 400 Day Without Cheating Woman that you are, the bons bons just won't fly! Have a wonderful, peaceful day, my WISH Sis!

Hi Norma! Isn't it fun when you first get new workouts?! I'm waiting for Cathe's new Hardcore series (10 of 'em!) to arrive, hopefully some time this month, and OH YEAH! I'll be like a kid in a candy store alright! I always enjoyed Calorie Killer, especially when Nancy does that turn to the back hopscotch move and says, "there you are!" when you turn back to face the TV. She must be a mom, 'cause it's like playing peek-a-boo with a baby! Enjoy your new workouts, Norma, and keep up all your awesome work!

Tracy!!! What's up Buttercup?! Yes, Tracy, my Allie obsession continues! In last week's thread I posted a link to the write-up of her November wedding. I was going to say that I think she looked absolutely beautiful in the accompanying picture, but I'm not speaking to her at the moment as she did not invite me to the wedding. Have a lovely day, Tracy, and way to go with your workouts!!! You know I luvs ya' babe!

Hi cobbler! Strong woman you are, with the 8 inch step and 5 pounders! Yeah yeah! It sounds as though your really deserve your rest day today, and I hope it's a good one! You're doing just an awesome job!

I did Cathe's Pyramid Upper Body this morning, but just wanted to check in on all my FIRMing Friends! I am so proud of everyone for all your consistency and enthusiasm! All these positive vibes really keep me motivated an so pumped! WE RULE!!!

Have a Fabulous Friday, you guys, and enjoy a wonderful start to the weekend!

Hello ladies!!!!

Today was a rest day. I really needed it!!!!! I have been going all out this week, 5 days in a row. Since I'm following Nancy's rotation, she has a long double workout for tomorrow. I knew I'd need energy and 7 days of exercise in a row wasn't going to give it to me. I had to shop all day to keep myself occupied

 

[ZerasPride]

A quick check in. I did Complete Body Sculpting with Christa this afternoon. I even managed to sleep in late. I did a lot of running around but it was so nice not to be at work today.

I'm also down 1.5 pounds (just a few pounds from siggie weight) and happy about that. I'm really trying to go back to the low fat (and low calorie) low carb program I'm supposed to be following with South Beach and I'm no longer doing the high fat stuff so it's good to see my weight heading in the right direction. This bouncing around stuff is frustrating!

Have a great weekend and I hope you all get a chance to work out.

 

[s&k'smom]

No work out this am as DS was up and flipped out when I told him I had to go to work, so I'm actually staying home and will have to go in and tell them no more saturdays! But I plan to do Emily's tape tomorrow am.

 

[toystoryduo]

Good morning all!

Today was CAWT with Emily. My DD (also an Emily) always ask me, "Mom, is this your Emily workout?" When it is, she gets so excited!

Have a great day!

 

[sm4987]

Good afternoon all!!!!!!!! I am feeling extremely tired today. I did Complete body sculpting and express cardio. I usually like to make myself work harder, ya know just because. It's strange when the firm instructors do it for you. Next time, aerobics before all that lifting instead of the other way around. The only good thing about today was that these two tapes are my favorites!!!!!! I didn't mind doing them together at all.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend

Just quickly checking in. Yesterday was a rest day; today was Total Sculpt with Jen.

Now I'm off to my son's basketball game. Have an awesome weekend Firmies!!!

 

[ZerasPride]

Good afternoon Fimies!

This morning was Fat Blasting Cardio with Lisa Kay. I really like this one and can tell the difference in intensity between BSS1 work outs and BSS3 work outs. It's a cold snowy dreary day in Cleveland but I'm trying not to let it depress me.

Have a great weekend and I'll check in tomorrow.

 

[s&k'smom]

Good morning, finally got to the Emily tape this am. My goal is to work out everyday. Boy I tried to get into a pair of pants and well no they weren't going on. I hadn't realized how my depression has affected me and my waistline. But I'm back on track.

 

[norma1223]

Today I dragged my body out of bed to do Calorie Killer and part of Firm Abs before heading out to another basketball game. Ds has 1 more game this evening then we're finally done for the weekend.

Have a great day!!
