Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Sunday Dec 9

I ended up doing Mindy's Super Cycle Spinning. I did the warm-up and then repeated the Interval segment 3 times and then did intense flats, cool down and stretch. Workout was 72" and I burned 640 calories. This is a really tough spinning DVD ...thus the reason I don't do it often. Mindy's a cycling maniac!

I also did Altar of the Heart Yoga with Tilak Pyle. I was only going to do half of it since it's so long, but I ended up doing the entire thing. It's 85". This felt great. I forgot how much I love everything about this DVD from Tilak :) to the music to the scenery and the poses.

I'm getting stressed about work tomorrow already. I really need to get used to this full-time, early schedule again. I don't think I'm exactly "settling in" to my job yet. So much to learn and I've got a lot of anxiety about it. If I can learn this job, there won't be one thing in a medical practice that I can't do! They are teaching me most everything and my brain is on super overload. I guess I better concentrate on kickboxing this week instead of complicated step.

I need to decide on a rotation? Any suggestions? I've been looking thru my books and DVDs, but I'm so indecisive. I might try a day of NROL, a day of Cindy Whitmarsh's, etc and then decide....or maybe I'll change my mind. What's everyone else doing? I need ideas?

I also feel fat and bloated from my new job. I can't eat snacks....so my meals have been larger and more spread out and dinner has been so late at night that I wake up feeling fat all of the time. I hope I get used to all of this and can learn this job. I'm not feeling too confident right now. This 48 year old brain ain't what it used to be.....especially with all of my earlier years of brain cell damage!

Have great workouts or rest days. Off to eat breakfast and soak in some epsom salts....as my pain is flaring.

Sorry about the long venting post.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Suffering from ear infection, but better then yesterday. Took more vitamins, but read this book so if you can't get to the doctor right away (since it is the weekend), you can try to fight it off by taking:

50,000 IU of Vitamin A
5000 mg of Vitamin C
600 IU of Vitamin E
and some zinc and garlic also is good.

So I didn't have enough Vitamin A. Only about 15,000 IU's..but again, feel like my ear doesn't bother me now, but still going to doc's tomorrow.

I didn't do my workout yesterday as I thought it was important to rest, rest and rest to fight this infection best I can. So will be working chest/back/abs today.

Lora,

Trying to find a rotation as well, but for me I think I will switch my leg work around since I have more videos now and do more of those and stick with working rest of my body the way I usually do, but adding in more variety for cardio such as boot camp, minus weights, stepping and cardio coach. I did not end up hearing back about the job for waitress so I am not really looking anymore. Christmas will be little gifts, but we pretty much have everything we want anyhow unless of course, you tell me of more things and then I will be in trouble once again. lol

Hope things settle down for you with job. You can only learn so much in one day. Your doing good.

Good almost afternoon maniacs!

I'm going to do a 4DS workout. I think I'll do the high intensity cardio and then I might do a different weight one. We'll see.

My stepmom died this morning. :( My dad sounds just awful. He told me that he thought she had another FIVE YEARS!!! Now, mind you, she has been in the very late stages of Alzheimer's for at least the last year. She hasn't been able to walk for a little over a year and could only say a word or two at the most (not nice ones :) ). And she wasn't eating - was only drinking Ensure, as I've mentioned before. But they had a friend who lived on Ensure for 5 years, so I guess this is what he based that on. He's just shocked that she died so soon. He doesn't want us to go out there. We are trying to get him out here for Christmas, as our vacation starts this Wednesday until the first of the year. He's mentioned suicide to my DH if he ever becomes a burden. If he doesn't get on the road and out here pretty soon we'll probably head out there. He doesn't have anybody now b/c all of the Hospice workers and the nurse who have been stopping in will be done. They adore my dad. They don't have any friends out there (well, one couple down the road who they didn't see much of in the past year who I hope will step in).

On a happier note, here are some Wyoming snow pics from yesterday and today (love Gizmo peeking around the seat)...

Awe Suz, So sorry about your Stepmom. I hope you can get your dad to come your house for Christmas. He needs you guys, even if he says he doesn't. Like you said.

Looks like we had the same Snow storm. Isn't it georgous! Gismo is such a ham. Look at me...look at me..:)

Dallys - Thanks. Yeah, I think you got more inches than we did by the looks of your trees. It sure is pretty though. We had so much ice. On Friday morning on the way to work people were sliding EVERYWHERE!!! It was crazy. It just got worse by Friday night and yesterday. At least today the sun is out so maybe it will melt some. But I really liked it. I just take it slow.

Suz,
So, so sorry about your stepmom passing. Your Dad is one special man in how he took care of her. Know he will be really needing your love and support. Hope he can come out to see you soon.

Love your pictures! I rode this morning with my 75 year old friend. We only did about 10 miles or so at a slow pace because the temps were in the high 20's. It was sunny and felt great to be spinning the legs. Afterwards was a nice stop at Starbucks for a chai latte (with non-fat milk of course).

Take care, my friend.

Jeanette
 
Jeanette - Thanks for your kind words. You're right, my Dad is one special man. I don't know anyone who has done what he did. I just e-mailed the nurse who would come in every week. She's new to the area and about my age and she would hang out with my Dad (even though it was against the rules). Two lonely souls. She's awesome. I asked her to let us know how he's doing.

I can't believe you got to ride this morning. Awesome!!! I'm so envious! And a chai latte afterwards to boot. A perfect day. :) Now if I could just put ice skates on my rims I'd be all set.

Good Morning, today was a rest day. I did Kelly Roberts Flexibility for the inflexible foam roller workout. DH saw me struggling with some of the moves with my short foam roller and found me a good deal on e bay and bought me a 36 inch one. I did not go out this morning because it was icy and sleet was starting to come down. We are having an ice storm now which is predicted to last a couple of days.

Suz, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's wife. I am sure this is very rough for him. Hopefully you can get him to come to your house. He really should have someone there at first. I am glad that you have someone to check in on him.

Dallys and Suz, love your snow pics. We have white but it is just mostly ice. WOuld much rather have snow.

Randi, good lower body workout.

Lora, you will figure out something for the time frame that you need. It will just take some time to get back into the work routine.

Lora & Diane Sue - Thanks for your kind words. I do hope we can get my Dad out here.

Diane Sue - That was sure nice of your DH. :) You guys sure get a lot of those ice storms. How scary.

Lora - I hope you settle into your job and your routine soon. It all just takes time. It's just not as easy at our age. :p

Suz, I saw that they were Oxygen was selling clean eating as a subscription. I usually just pick it up at the store. I have been trying recipes out in the new issue and have discovered fresh cranberries and figs:) BTW your puppies look so cute. I tried getting pictures of mine with a Christmas bow Friday and they were not having any part of it LOL

Suz,

So sorry to hear.

I love your pictures though. Very nice. If it snows like that here then we are lucky...we usually don't get much snow. We just got a coating last week and school gets closed down here. lol

Finished workout. I am trembling from it.

Pushups 12/12
Bench Press 80# 4/5
Flyes 35# db's 4/5
Chin Ups 5 unassisted then 7/6 assisted.
One Arm Rows 40# db's 3/6
Pullovers 45# db 3/6
Lat Pulldowns 90# 4/5

Still got ab work to do. BTW, thanks for all the well wishes. My ear feels fine now.
 
CHarlotte, so glad your ear feels better. So the vitamins helped. I try to check out whatever is the best self care before I run for the doctor myself. I hate medication. Great job on the Bench press. I think my highest weight is 70 lbs.

Hi Everyone,

Suz, I'm sorry to hear about your step-mom. I hope you dad will come stay with you over the holidays.

The snow pics are just beautiful, I want snow so bad, we need it due to the lack of rain we've had this year so far!

Dally's, your pics are beautiful too! I really hope we get some of that beauty soon!

Char, hey hope you continue to feel better with the ear infection. I've had one in my life that I remember and they are no fun! I'm starting over with the 4DS tomorrow. I'm thinking of doing total body one day on, one day off, then the days off doing cardio. Just switching it up a little to keep my body guessing!

Hi to everyone! Hope it's been a good weekend for all!
 
I ended up doing High Intensity Step from 4DS (I swear I'll never get that last challenge!) and then switched and did Bi's & Tri's from the 4DS Bootcamp. The step part took me probably 50 minutes since I keep rewinding and trying again b/c I really wanted to learn it. x( Do you guys all have it down now? It's so hard with the cameral angles switching so much.

Diane Sue - Maybe I'll pick it up at the store and see if I like it. I love cranberries! That's funny about your dogs. No go, huh?

Char - Thanks. :) Great workout! It's supposed to get to be 30-35 tomorrow so many some of the ice will melt. The trees are still covered with lots of ice.

Sandy - Thanks. I hope you get some snow!
