Karen - DH tries to take the kids to Dojo whenever he can but our schedule is SO crazy. Now that CF (religion class) is over for the year and Monday Night Band is finishing, we ought to be able to start going soon. Whether I can go or not will depend on work. Right now there's not much happening so I'm back to working normal hours. That can change quickly though if pick an aggressive Go Live date and then we're struggling to get everything done. Let's hope that doesn't happen. I don't think it will because we're gearing up for our busy season and it would be a bad business decision to Go Live until Fall at the earliest.
DS is NOT playing select baseball this year. The new coach is a jerk so DS didn't even try out. He'll play Park & Rec baseball which is not as much a time commitment either. The last 2 summers have been very hard on our family with all the practices, games and tournaments. DD is starting Marching Band next month though and that looks like a huge time commitment for her anyway (4-8 hour practices).
Susan - I really like New You Coming and her 1st Step Kickbox workout (Step-Boxing with KCM - looked it up on Collage). I have Kelly's Cardio Kick Step-Boxing but got frustrated trying to learn it and haven't tried again since. I'm bad that way. I have several workouts that I need to go back and spend some time learning because I think I would like them. I would like to get her 30 min. to Fitness - Bootcamp and 30 min. to Fitness - Kickboxing. Does anyone have these? To start out I'd try NYC to get used to her hyper personality. I remember a bit of a learning curve with Step-Boxing and she goes super fast which is okay once you know the workout.
Last night I did NOT get a workout in. DD has her first track meet and with us being track parent newbies, we had no idea how long the meet would last. We couldn't reach her by cell phone (DH's - she doesn't have her own) because she had it turned off and the worst was going through our minds. We weren't exactly sure where she was because DH went to the place he thought it was at and no track meet. Turns out the bus had problems and they arrived late (after DH came and left) and it just went really, really long. C'mon, 4 hours on a school night? I think that's ridiculous! DH went over to the school to wait for her and drained his battery by listening to the car radio. I had to go over and we tried jumpstarting his car but couldn't find my negative connection in the dark. DH was irritated and said "Just drive us home and we'll come back tomorrow morning and do this in the daylight." This morning jumpstart didn't work. Called someone and had them come out and jump DH's car. Apparently, his battery was so drained a normal car battery wouldn't work to jumpstart it. Had battery tested. It's fine but DH's starter is pulling too much energy from the battery that if the alternator doesn't run long enough (ie. short car trips), it doesn't recharge and that was probably the issue. DH drove the 2 miles to school (short trip), sat and waited for over an hour with the car radio on and drained the battery.
Take care everyone.
. But I don´t really like working my chest that much anyway...I did find a way to use the BB for my one arm rows so that I can put off buying more weights for a while...someone on this forum had some links.
