Good morning!

I start STS today. However, since I did GS BSB yesterday, I need to switch somethong up a bit. Haven't decided whether to start with D3 today or swap tomorrow's run day. I'll figure it out by tonight.

I'm also going to try to eat better this week. With the kids off of school, our schedule is less hectic so it should be better. Even decurded the cottage cheese, so no excuses for me.

Belinda - Good luck on whatever you decide to do. I'm sure it'll be a good one.

Heidi - What are your plans today?

BBL tonight after I get something done.

Morning Belinda and Sherry!

Belinda: You have a great plan there! Have fun with your workout what ever you decide on.

Sherry: I had that same issue of having to change things around a bit. Have a great workout tonight!
Great job getting something prepared for your meals. Planning ahead is half the battle with sticking with anything.

Yesterday I tried out a new free online w/o program. liveexercise.com It was a combo of cardio and band work for the upper. It is amazing how much just using bands gets ya!

Today I will run and do another one of those internet workouts called Chiseled, today's workout is a back and bicep one. Here is the link if interested.
Chiseled Muscle Building - Video Workouts | LIVEEXERCISE.COM
The workouts are all free you just register and log in. I LOVE FREE STUFF!

Off to get it done!
Have a great one girls!

Hi Sherry: I did the back/bicep workout this morning using the bands. It was drop sets with increase in weight. Using a red and blue band today I really felt it good. I did like it and hope you get to try it out sometime.

BRB!

WO done! Decided to do D3 Legs since I just did GS BSB yesterday. Even did the bonus burn at the end. Might need to go up a little in weight next week, but I'll see how the legs feel in the a.m.

Belinda - Nice job on ME! Like your rotation plan. My dog loves all the walks she's getting, mostly for the warm -ups and cool downs. We have trouble running together - she wants to go faster but for shorter distances, so the wu's and cd's work best for us.

Heidi - where did you get your band set from? How many different "weights" are needed for the program that you did?

Lunch was tuna salad on lettuce and dinner was tacos with ground turkey. Eating was good until dessert with ice cream. A little can't hurt, right?

See ya all tomorrow!

Good morning!

Legs feeling good today, more like a subtle remnder I worked them last night than any serious DOMS. Tonight's wo is run - 400m intervals. If running goes well, I'll take the weights up next week for the D3 repeat (doing the 6-1/2 month rotation).

What do both of you have planned for the day?

Morning Sherry and Belinda:

Today was a Tabata w/o from liveexercise.com. Great workout!

Sherry: Nice job on Legs! Have a great run tonight! Do you have your goal pace for the race?
I have some bands or better yet tubing with handles I am using for the w/o's. They mostly use these. Well I should say I haven't seen any weights used just yet.
For the tabata leg portion it called for the tubing attached to your ankle's but I didn't have that so I just did it without them. Or I used ankle weights in the other exercise.

Belinda: What are you up to today?

Have a great one!
