So, I decided to beef up my circuit dvds. I ordered BM2 tonight from AdvancedWorkout.com. I was going to order HSC or HST but couldn't make up my mind. Which one should I try first? Which one do you all like best?
Patricia: Do you workout on BB game nights? I haven't thought to see. My BFF is LaTrecia. I call her Trish for short. So, I'll just keep calling you Patricia. My best friend in jr. high was Patricia. We called her Patty for short. Gosh, I wonder what's up with her these days. Workout tops... I like this Lululemon one for the best coverage:

If that doesn't work, you can always wear a tight, clingy t-shirt over a sports bra. I tend to avoid t-shirts because it feels too tight around my neck. Really, I don't worry about flashing anyone since I don't have much cleavage. And, I'm too busy thinking about my breath and finding my edge to look at others. So, I wouldn't worry too much. Hope that helps.
Carol: IMax2 is a fun one! I thought about getting Biblioplan, but I kinda prefer to use a spine and add my own stuff. I don't really plan the add-ons. I've been blessed to find more than enough resources and books to round out MOH. The twins used the spiral binding for SOTW 2 this year. I didn't buy the revised edition because I wanted the spiral bound book. The glutes are quite tender today. She used a wooden contraption to help break up the larger knot. She told me that I'd have a bruise. I haven't checked to see though. Anyhow, the wooden thingamajig didn't really hurt, it just pinched my skin. I must have a high pain tolerance to deep pressure massage. How's your sister doing today? Isn't Pat a character on SNL?
Jeanette: Scoop! Scoop! I was with you today!!! I did it!!! Did NOT want to!!! But, I did!!! Sounds like I deserve a pat on one of my knots!!!:7 I was sweating tonight. I didn't feel like I had much endurance. In fact, I was shaking when I did a little yoga afterwards. PMS is not kind to me this month. I'm not fond of doing push-ups with Cathe. I like doing them at my own pace with Tony. I can get more reps in that way. I took it easy with the shoulder work tonight. Since the shoulders are recruited in the one triceps exercise on the bench, I went down in weights too. Safety first!!!:+ I feel it in my shoulders during push ups too. I much prefer to do isolation work until I'm 100%. Like Cathe says, "You're only as strong as your weakest link." So true. My boys saw Indiana Jones. They liked it. But, that's not saying much. They like pretty much any action movie. Oh, my MIL thought the MyChelle stuff made her skin feel very soft. I notice that my skin looks the best when I get a good sweat every day. Something about the oils maybe. Anyhow, my skin looks soft and plump, and my pores are less noticeable when I wash it after a good sweat.
Laurie: I thought about incorporating one of the BBC workouts into my circuit rotation. Which one do you think I'll be able to survive?:7 Is that trouble maker doing the faire this year? Or did he leave the group? If he left, why was he lurking during rehearsals? What a dear, sweet dd you have! Hopefully, she'll get her chance to participate next year. I never have luck cooking with rhubarb. It always comes out tasting tarty. You must have the special, sweet touch!!! Oh, I would be interested in the ww crust recipe if you can get it. I'll forward you the apple pie recipe or the CC recipe in return.:9
Debra: I'll cross my unpedicured toes that all goes smoothly with your separation!!! Hope you and the Diva had fun getting pedicures! Did you get matching colors? I should take my munchkins for a spa day this summer. Hey, if I take them one at a time, that would be three spa days for me!!!:7 I hear you. I'm not in any shape for the workshop. I have to keep reminding myself that Eoin will still love. It's all good. It's allll gooood.
I don't know why I notice his lisp. It's not that noticeable. But, since I'm aware of it, I can't help but to notice it. Sorry, I might have possibly poisoned you to it now. Say What?!?! Phil doesn't get a break. Girl, you should hear how he calls me spoiled when I ask for a massage on massage days!!!! But, how can he say NO to the bootay!!!}( }( }( OH! Guess what!!! My massage therapist, Patty, might be at the shore the same time as us!!! I hope you get to meet her. She has a client with a mega huge shore house. She stays there a few days and gives her a morning massage in exchange for free room and board. She charges her friends who stay at the shore for extra spending money. Not a bad set-up! I told her to go the week we're going. She can hang on the beach with us. I hear you about the weight and inches. Same here. My weight is the same, but my inches are bloating up with every passing second. Maybe, I should invite myself over to Carol's house for dinner. LOL
Kim: How nice to get a break from piano lessons. If we didn't leave this winter, dd would have year long lessons. I needed a break. So we took off from November to June. I think dd might have to relearn how to play!!! Oh! Don't you know, night time driving is the best time to drive!!! Traffic isn't as crazy. And, the kids don't need to use the bathroom every 5 minutes!!! MIL and I have had our moments. She once called me controlling because I enjoy homeschooling. It was when I first started and I think she was concerned her granddaughter wouldn't learn how to read. LOL She fully supports me now, especially since she homeschooled the twins this winter. She said she learned so much and enjoys history now.:7 EWWWWWW!!!! Sutures and nail gunk. That would give me the heebeejeebees!!!! You must have a strong gut to go through something like that!!! I make my kids go to Phil whenever an accident involves blood!!!! Do you ever use CC for other types of cardio? I'm thinking I might try CC on the treadmill one of these days. The only thing holding me back is my treadmill doesn't have automatic incline. I have to stop it and manually adjust it. Not happening!
Sandra: Howdy Stranger! Well, you are not the only one who remembers SNL's Pat. I just asked Carol about it earlier in my post.:7 Yep, I took the plunge on STS before the preorder prices went up another level. I'm not sure what condition I'll be in when STS is finally in my hands. That's why I was thinking of canceling my order. I don't think that my shoulder should be a problem for the workshop. Eoin is so WONDERFUl at helping you accept where you are. I've been making range of motion gains because of him!!! That's what spurred me to check out his seminar schedule. I can't wait to meet him and tell him!!!! Oh, yes! My massage therapist is GOOD!!! I LOVE her!!! I am so fascinated with massage now. I've always thought about getting a massage license. Now that I see the extreme benefits of massage, I'm so fascinated with the entire anatomy part... how everything is so connected. How the body works. My therapist has inspired me to look into going to massage school. I'm always asking her questions. So, during the massage she explains what she's doing, why she's doing what she's doing, and how the body works. I can't get enough. She's already agreed to mentor me, and hire me if I get certified!!!! We are planning a trip to Thailand in a couple of years to learn Thai massage in Chang Mai. How cool is that!!!
So, everyone! I might as well let you all know. On Wednesday, I'm going to register for massage school. I'll attend part time in the evenings for three days a week. Classes start in July. By next year, I'll be able to give you all massages at the retreat!!!!!!!!
Okay ladies, it's way past my bedtime. I'll chat with you all tomorrow.
Sweet Dreams,
Wendy
