Ok, you probably guessed it....No tapes today...lol I'm starting to feel a little silly being part of the PowerGirls when I have no power yet..:lol: I would give ya'll the cyber kick you need for not exercising like you should have today,:p BUT when you skip occasionally it helps keep me from being so behind. :s: I have to confess...I need a kick myself also. I didnt walk today.:o I did play basketball with my 13 yr old son, Josh, for an hour but I rarely had my hands on the ball.

Angel, did you go to the doctor? I hope the prob with your ankle is nothing serious. Just be sure to take care of yourself. Dont want to ignore it and let it turn into something worse. Let us know how you're doing. :)

Well ladies...as usual, my fingers are crossed that this time the tapes will REALLY arrive as promised! You'll be the first to know!
:dizzy:

MIKI

Hello Everyone!

I am resting the ankle.... didnt have it checked out in Italy.

I am going to start on Monday....give my ankle enough time to heal a little more.... been keeping it wrapped and try to keep it elevated.

I hope everyone else is doing better and that you guys got up this morning and did your thing.... DO IT DO IT Do IT!!!!!!

Miki I hope your tapes get here by monday so that you can start with me....

Hooray!!!!!!! My tapes are in!!!!:cb: I cant believe it. My sis and I did the ab workout tonite. If I'm able, I'll let ya'll know tomorrow how I feel.:lol:

Angel, you wont be too far behind me. You did get the Power Half Hour didnt you? I know everyone else has the Power90. I hope this one works out okay. You were smart to rest that ankle.

Susanne and Kristin...how was your workout today? I trust neither of you are needing that cyber kick??:s: :D Not the same checking in and not hearing from either of you. Hope you both had a good day!

Miki

Morning All
 

Well, I must come dragging my sorry butt! The last time I did my workouts was Monday! I'm gonna need the biggest, hardest cyber kicks in the butt that you girls have got! First it was the headache, then the foggy head, then I hurt my back lifting my son---excuses, excuses. I'll be missing today too. My inlaws will be here in a few minutes to take me on garage sales! I'm thinking I will start my 90days again on Monday. I'll be keeping MIKI and ANGEL company.

MIKI--:bravo: :cp: :cb: HOORAY!!!!! I am soo happy you got your tapes! You'll have to tell us what you think after you preview them and then after you do them:s:

ANGEL--You make sure that ankel is well rested before you start anything. You don't want to injure it more.

KRISTIN--Where are you? How are you doing? Inquiring minds want to know!

Ok, I better get out of here. My inlaws may walk in and I'm only in my nightie!

I"m here! I'm here! Been a busy week/weekend...LOTS of graduations to attend...I missed my workout on Thursday, but got my cardio in yesterday...(I didn't mention the eating...mainly because of all the celebrations going on, I jumped right in there and ate everything in sight! (((groan))) ) So it's Saturday...and I still have to get my sculpt in. I'm still trying to decide if I should go ahead and take my rest day tomorrow, or count Thursday as my rest day...(probably the best thing to do, but not what I want to do! lol )
Angel, stay off the ankle until its completely healed...don't want to see ya re-injuring it. Hope it feels better soon!
Miki....OMG...your tapes FINALLY came!! WOOHOO!!! Can't wait to hear how you like it!!! Congrats!
Susanne...we need some serious virtual kicking...we gotta do this thing! To be thin!! To wear a bathing suit!!! To shop in the stores where they don't have plus sizes!! WE CAN DO IT...(I'll just keep saying that to myself, okay?? lol)
Power on, girls....
Ciao for now!

Hey Power girls...
Just a quick note...if you have some spare time in the near future (I know some of you laugh...haha) go to the beachbody site and check out the link for the new Power 90X they are coming out with! This is for "After Power 90"....it looks totally amazing! I guess it kind of gave me something to work TOWARDS...a new goal you might say.
What are you guys up to anyway? KPP!!!!
Ciao

Hi girls! Sorry I didnt get in to post yesterday. I figured you'd just think I was too sore to type.:lol: So far I'm not as bad as I thought I'd be. We've done one day of abs and one day of thighs. Today is arms and we previewed that tape last nite and I'm dreading it!! I cannot do pushups at all!! I think this one is gonna kill me.

Ok, Kristin and Susanne...this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you.:s: ((((((((((((((((((((KICKKKKKKKKKK))))))))))))))))) ))))) NOW....go to your rooms, think about what you've done ( or in this case, havent done) then get out of there, eat healthy and start those workouts!:drill: :p :D

Angel, how's the ankle? Cant wait til you can get started with us. Just dont rush it too soon.

Have a good and "Powerful" day girls.

MIKI

OUCH!!!!
 

But that's just what I needed! Thanks Miki!

Miki--Sounds like you're going great with the workouts. I didn't think I could do pushups either, but try doing the "lady" pushups on your knees. They are easier that way--at least a little--and I found myself getting better each time. We'll see how I am after missing nearly a week! I just got back from grocery shopping and even tho I went down the chip aisle, I didn't buy any. The worst thing I bought was some baked rice crackers. I think these will be ok to gnaw on when I get a craving for something salty and crunchy.

Kristin--Sorry--I forgot you had all those graduations. C'mon girl we have to keep up with Miki now!:D I looked at Power 90X. I think I'll be doing the Power 90 I have a few times before I'll be able to even think about the 90X.

Angel--How's the ankel? Make sure it is feeling REALLY good before you start. We don't want you to injure it even more. We'll be here when you're ready.

Gotta go get these groceries put away and tackle some gardening.

Hey Everyone!!!!

OK I am starting today.... the ankle is still a little sore but I think it is alot better..... I will try today and see if I have any problem....

Miki - I have the actuall Power 90 tapes.... I bought them when they didnt have anything but power 90..... It sounds like your tapes focus on one area a day.... that sounds pretty good....

The tapes that i have have no background music on them.... he tells you to put in what you want to listen to and thats what i do...

Susanne - come join us on Day one again.... we would love the company... and the great thing is you just havent quit.....and since you own these tapes you always get to start over.....

Anyway I am off to try this.... talk to you later.

Okay, girls...it's day 15 for me. I made up for the one day I missed Thursday by not taking the day off Sunday! :faint: I feel pretty good...half-way to day 30! hahahaha
Angel :angel: -be careful on that ankle, girl. Wouldn't hurt to check into a brace-they have pretty good ones at WallyWorld (so I hear).
Miki-Well!!!! Felt the virtual "kick" and I am ON TRACK!!!! I can't say that my eating is the best in the world, but honestly, it never has been. I'm taking it one day at a time...and just a little at a time....I hope to get used to healthy eating eventually... :cbg:
Susanne-What's up with you woman? Are you back on track? Are we on the same page? (okay, the same day...15?) Don't leave me hangin'!!!!!!!!! PULEASE!!!!!! :stress:
Okay, I'm outta here...I be checkin' in on you guys!! :yes:
Ciao!

LET'S GO POWER GIRLS!!!
 

Whoohoo! I just finished my workout. It was a little difficult today (except for the pushups--found them a little easier:shrug: ) but I managed to get thru and I feel GREAT! It took me a half hour to find the DVD remote. I'm gonna have to chain it to the player:lol: Whenever I want to use it, I have to hunt it down.

I'm going to start my 90 days over. I did my measurements today and weight. I'm one pound up from 2 weeks ago and up an inch in a couple of places.:o I think this could be from bloating tho, cause TOM is due in the next day or so.

KRISTIN--WTG in getting your workouts done! I'm proud of you for making up your missed day. You're a good influence on me!

ANGEL--How was your workout? How's the ankle? Nothing too bad for it in the sculpt, but the cardio could be tough on it. Just take it easy tomorrow and if it hurts doing something, just walk in place till that segment is done. I turned off the music today and I liked the workout better.

MIKI--Thanks for the KICK! As you can see, it worked! Your workouts sound interesting, doing a different body part each day.

I gotta go now girls. Let's all POWER UP!

Hooray!!!!!!! Finally we're all into our workouts!

Angel, yes my tapes focus the entire 30 min on a specific part each day with one day being 30 min of stretches and one day of rest. So far I really like it. Today was my stretch day. Tomorrow is abs again then on Wed I'll do my first time of 'buns'. I've already done abs once, thighs once and arms once. Mine dont have backup music either, well maybe a little but barely loud enough to hear so once I get used to all the moves I'll do like you and add my own music. How did your ankle feel after your workout? Ok I hope.

Kristin, Wow..day 15! You're doing great. Are you able to tell a difference yet?? I'm proud of you for making up for Thursday. Way to go!

Susanne, I had to laugh because I had to do the same thing yesterday trying to find the remote to our VCR. We NEVER can keep up with those things. Dont worry--I was up a pound myself this past week. That is so frustrating. We just have to make sure we dont let it discourage us enough to quit...there are so many things that can cause fluctuation on the scales. (thats what I always try to tell myself anyway) Cant wait til I can say the pushups were easier for me too. Those things kill me!

Well, worked til 7 tonite and havent been home long so I better run get some things done. Talk to you girls tomorrow.

Miki

Hey All!!!!

Well my ankle made it through although it hurt here and there.... going to have to go a little slower.....

I am going to go find a pre formed ankle wrap tomorrow to see if that helps.... I really hate the idea of going to a doctor to let them say "yep - you have a sprained ankle" since there is nothing they can do for it....

Well it sounds like everyone is doing real good.... YEAH!!!!

Where is everyone today??:?: I think this is the first time I've ever checked in when no one had posted all day. I hope you're all having a good day.

I am so into this workout stuff!! My hubby decided he wants to do it also. My sis and I do ours in the mornings most of the time, when I dont have to go to work early, so today I did the ab tapes with her then when Phil got home this evening, I did them again with him.:o I cant believe I made it thru both but it really wasnt so bad. I also walked a mile today. Now if I can just get the eating where I need it to be.

Angel, I bet that wrap will definitely help the ankle. You probably need the support for awhile for sure.

Kristin and Susanne, did you girls get your workout in today? How was it?? Check in when you can.

Bye for now

Miki :)

Tuesday
 

Hey Power Girls!

Well, I did my day 2 late this afternoon. I really have to try to do it early in the day. But I did it and I'm glad. DH has started doing it too, but since I hid the remote yesterday ( so I would know where it was!!!) he couldn't change the selection on the DVD, so he started with the opposite workout from me. Actually it's better cause there really isn't room for 2 of us to be moving around.

MIKI--You Go Girl!!! WoW! 2 ab workouts in one day and a walk. I was wondering about your program--do you have any dance type moves like many cardio videos? The thing I like best about the Power 90 is that there are NO dance type steps. I can do (or at least attempt) the moves without having to remember the choreography (sp?).

KRISTIN--Where are you? How are you doing?

ANGEL--How is your ankle today? I have a couple of those socklike tensors and they are good.

Ok girls, gotta go. Have a good evening!
