Today's a circuit of choice for me. I will pick it at the last minute so it'll be a surprise for all of us!
Diana:: You sure had a long work y'day! Hopefully today will be shorter. Glad the knee wasn't too bad for you. How'd it go using the elliptical for your knee and for DS1?
I'm heading down for CC Press Play. I had to mess around with my ipod and itunes for a bit last night, but it should be good to go this morning. Not sure what I will do for cardio if the elliptical doesn't work out.
My glutes are a bit sore from plyo legs!
DS has a football game at 4pm today and then we will be watching Hockey!! Should be a good game.
Wendy-Nice w/o this morning.
Jacque-The Avs play the Sharks tonight!!! We will be watching that game for sure.
Lori-how are feeling today? Are you legs back to normal yet? Hope you are giving yourself some much needed rest.
Well my plans got all screwed up .. Picked DN up from school .. SIL came in w/DR report ... not good at all ... she told my coworker more than she told me .. I was trying to get DN out of way so he wouldnt hear and get upset .. then she told me watered down version .. short of long of it .. has very enlarged thyroid - prbly going to have to have it taken out - her blood pressure thru roof at stroke level and HR still elevated (130 bpm at rest) .. her heart walls have thickened due to this going on so long .. we are waiting now for a referral to a specialist - they upped her beta blockers and put her on new med for thyroid .. she is really worried but at same time in denial .. obsessing about wanting to exercise .. I had loooooong talk w/her last night and so did my aunt, her DH (who is still out of town), and her sister .. so I hope it did some good .. say a prayer that she is gonna be ok and she is gonna listen to her dr .. had other drama w/my friend w/cancer and her abusive daughter it was a ruff day .. so needless to say I didnt get to exercise .. it was my rest day anyway .. oh well
Wendy .. I think I am gonna pull out my 4 DS .. forgot about the BC one .. ya .. that sounds like a winner ..
Di .. I LUV press play .. i have not ran in forever ... and I LOVED press play .. by far my favorite CC .. have fun!!!
Jacque ... where are you girlie!! If there is a sharks game I am sure you are gonna be there!!! Go sharks!!!
Lori .. IA w/DI .. you need to rest those legs baby!!!
OK .. so todays plan is to wait on pins and needles for news from SIL .. then tonight is plyo class .. I MAY do a step + plyo class .. I have not done that before .. but been thinking about it! Have a great day .. and I will BBL to see what is going on!
Diana:: How'd the elliptical go over with DS? And how did you fair on it with your knee?
Laura:: (((HUGS))) That's scarey news about DSIL. I sincerely hope this is a big time reality check for her and she does what she's told so that she can be around for her son for many years to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This morning's work out already has me stiff in the shoulders/back/chest. AWESOME! I was going to give MIS a whirl on Sunday for my f/b work out but today's work out has inspired me for more KCM. I have a little of her Muscle Definition paired up with her Body Training Standing work out for a full body blast to be done in two 30 minute work outs back to back! Can't wait!
Ugh....adjusting to everything since I have gotten home is taking a toll! Im sooo sleepy! I went right back to work on Tues and I have had to come in both mornings at 5'ish..and now I have to come back tonight at 11. When I got home today I knew it was pointless to go back to bed b/c it was almost 8. I am guessing I won't get any down time until DS goes to bed. Dog is sheding like crazy and I still need groceries. Apparently no one else knows where the grocery store is! I just can't wait to be off this weekend!
You know, it really takes a while to get back into the swing of things after you have been away and ran something like that. I am probably still tired from the time change, even though it was only 90 mins, the run...flying...then DS acting up the day I came home (making up for lost time I guess) It just seems as if our lives are crazy right now...DH's included.
I decided not to do anymore until next Fall, if then. But my running partner is going through withdrawl. She qualified for the Boston but it sold out in record time this year. Last year it sold out in 6 weeks, this year 8 hours! Can you believe that? There was no time for her to "think" about it (b/c she puts things off) she went to register and it was full. She then comes to my house on Tues night, while I am getting dinner ready and her hands and mouth are going a mile a min b/c all she wants to do is talk about running and the next race I should do...which always includes her. God forbid I should take DH with me. Anyway..she is finally back to work today and hopefully coming back to reality.
Soooooo....I also had my first training session today with my friend. We scheduled it for 6:30 this morning but that was changed b/c of my job...so she came over at 9 and she claims it was the best workout she ever had. She is some what fit already. She doesn't lift weights but she does workout from time to time so I knew what I was dealing with. I created a circuit workout for her, using the TM and she was sweating buckets. She thinks I shoud do this FT as a living but I don't think I can do that right now. I need a set income b/c my income isn't play money....my income helps pay those darn bills. We have another workout planned for Sunday morning and it will be legs.
I need to read what I have missed. I have missed you guys! Tomorrow morning (cause I am off) my life should resume to normal! I should be able to sit down and relax with the computer!!!!!
Wendy** How was your workout this a.m? You are right about finishing a marathon. It really doesn't matter what time you do it in as long as you finish. Finally someone here got that. The mechanic asked me if I ran to raise money and then he said "is it just one of those things you do and you happy to just finish it"? And Im like EXACTLY! I don't really like you...but yes...you got it right He is o.k I guess. He is just sarcastic and blunt. I don't really take to people like that.
Diana** Are you doing with the rotation? Have you been seeing any changes?? Any games this weekend? DD has a v-ball tournament on Sat I have to take her to.
Laura** I will keep your SIL in my thoughts and prayers! Hopefully she will get everything taken care of in a hurry. Is DN her daughter? I love working out and now that my legs are back to normal I feel like I can. But I can't imagine being sick and still wanting to workout even though the DR says "no".
Lori:: IKWYM about getting back into the swing of things after being away. I came right back to work after being away for that wedding myself and it was not easy. Today's work out was great, ty. I was fried by the end and loving every minute of it! Had to skip abs for time today but that's ok. I'll hit them good tmrw with the standing oblique work from Criss Cross Cardio! Definitely try to qualify for Boston even if you never actually RUN Boston. Nice just to know you can. Carole (fellow runner from Cheetah checkin) said she qualified for Boston years ago and never ran it iirc. She was just happy that she COULD HAVE if she chose to. It's a badge of honor all on it's own!
ETA:: Enabling story!!!! I've successfully enable Jen (Irishrose) to try Kelly Coffey Meyers! She is ordering 3 dvds from Amazon as we speak!
Enabling update!:: Thanks to my enabling Jen, I now want to buy most of the KCM's that I do not yet own but I just placed my big Kimberly Spreen order! Guess I'll have to wait a week! Darn!
