Good morning everyone!!!
Well, I'm having kind of a rotten start to my day. I started feeling lousy yesterday afternoon when I developed a cough and sore throat, and an overwhelming fatigue. I woke up feeling pretty miserable this morning, too.
I only did a couple of my 1RMs yesterday, along with 5 sets of push ups. I'm going to try to do them today. I did so few yesterday that I don't think it will hurt to do them back-to-back. Actually this will work out well because DH wants to use the elliptical on Saturday, so I can do weights while he's doing cardio!
Diane, thanks for getting us started this morning. I'm so sorry about poor Ella! A bagel with CC sounds so good right now, I haven't had one in forever! Maybe you can get a run in while your mom is watching Ella! BTW, I HIGHLY recommend the 4-DS workouts. I don't do the cardio part -- I use CC for that -- but the weight work is amazing! It's one of my favorites and I LOVED the rotation Cathe posted for it.
Dana - It's about time you started using that elliptical, young lady! I don't know what I'd do without mine. I would never do cardio if it weren't for that machine. I set my bike up in a trainer and I'm anxious to try that out. I'm hoping I like it because I really need to cross train a little bit. Anyway, now maybe you can put your CC workouts to good use! I think you're doing pretty good with STS! You have SO MUCH on your plate that you need to forgive yourself if you miss a workout. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to all the push ups either, but I've made a vow to do my best and forget the rest. I'll get better at them eventually.
Jodi - I didn't fare as well as you yesterday but, WOO HOO HOOOO for doing Low Max and gittin' her done before dinner
! I think LM is REALLY hard. I tried it a couple of times but step workouts just aren't my cup of tea -- but I do plan to continue with the Imax Friday workouts (but we may need to change that to Imax Saturday because of STS -- LOL!). So did you get in to see an orthopedist about your wrist? I know what you mean about feeling like you're falling apart. I'm in my 50's, and while I feel pretty good, I now have little aches and pains I didn't used to have.
Mary - Thank you for the compliment on my avatar! I took that picture with my computer!!! How fun is that!? I hadn't posted on the CC website in forever! I hope he'll re-install the forums. I really liked our check-in group over there but I just didn't have a lot of time this winter with everything going on. Hey, do you have all the workouts? I'm asking because I noticed that he has a HUGE sale going on right now. If you need any of them you might want to check it out.
Robin - Did your Chalean workout come? Is it that CLX or whatever it's called? I've been tempted to buy it but I HATE BB. I won't buy from them. I'd have to find it on eBay or something, because I'm not wild about the BB Coach program either. So what are you eating today? I know this sounds ridiculous and wasteful, but my grocery store just started offering individual servings of prepared brown rice with steamed vegetables and I've been buying those. They come with a little packet of teriyaki sauce and they're delicious. I don't like to fool around with making brown rice at home because DH doesn't like it and I don't feel like spending 45 minutes just to cook rice for myself. Anyway, I've been eating one of those with a chicken breast several days a week and I love the convenience of it -- tastes pretty good, too!
Alrighty, I'm going to take it easy today -- rest a little -- and then see if I can't tackle some mre of those 1RMs!
