Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party & Strike Zone. My HR stayed really low. Didn't have a very good workout.....so I'll count this as my "recovery" day and try to work out hard the rest of the week, unless my body doesn't cooperate again and takes another rest day on its own.

Have great workouts.

Deb - did you get my Avon order?
 
Good morning maniacs. Didn't get home till after 10 last night from my second job. Tired this morning. But, I am doing KPC when I get home. I was supposed to do LIC cardio, but I am in the mood for kickboxing today! Def looking foward to it. KPC abs are good to!

Lora- sorry you felt your WO wasn't good. I bet it was better for you then you think! Have a nice day.
 
Fogot to say that my knee feels fine. Guess a good rest was what it needed. Especially since I sit on my butt all at my day job hehe.

Teddy- yes it is a good feeling to feel the diff in myclothes. Still got more to lose, but very encouraged and I feel so much better since I stopped eating junk. Amazing huh?! Good luck when you step on that scale the end of the week. I am going to TRY to not step on it again till Frid morning. I am an everyday scaler, so we will see! You cracked me up about "enjoying that wine"!!
 
This week and next I'm going to do two upper body workouts and a lower body workout. I chose Muscle Max Upper Body Only premix today. At first I thought doing the exercises only once wasn't going to be enough. I was wrong. This is a great workout. I love how Cathe puts the exercises together.

Dumbbell Flyes:
25's - 12 reps - 2/2 count

***These 2/2 counts kill me.

BACK

50# - 2 sets/15 reps
***Good weight for this many reps.

One Arm Rows:
30# - 8 reps different counts

Pullovers:

BICEPS
Barbell Curls:

45# - 1 set/6 reps - 4/4 count
***The 4/4 count got me but I think I could have done 50#.

Dumbbell Partial Curls:
12's - Tons of half reps.

TRICEPS
Seated Overhead Press:
25# - 10 reps - 2/2 count
superset w/
Bench Dips:

That is all....

Really love doing these workouts again. It's a nice change for my body.

Lora - Yes I did. I thought I pm'd you back? I'll get you a total soon.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Today is my cardio day so either 18 mile bike ride or elliptical..depends on humidity as it was hot yesterday, but humidity was down.

Bobby is doing better and healing good. He goes for his scans this friday to show nothing will be found. lol.

Lora,

Great workout even if you don't think so.

Meg,

Glad your knee is feeling better.

Debbie,

Great workout!!!! Will have to do a rotation together again soon.
 
CHar- glad to hear Bobby is doing better. And I agree with you about those scans!! lol

Deb- isn't cool how you forget how awesome and fun Cathe WO's are once you have been away from them for awhile? I love it!

Hey guys - what determines if you are a catheite or a cathelet?

Also, have any of you used the other software - the calendar and stuff?
 
Ally,

I dunno about the catheite stuff...but I hate being a "newbie" now. hehe.

Teddygirl,

Looks like rain is a comin' so I decided to watch the Bucket List with my son while I am on elliptical. Gotta go ice my neck again.

Teddygirl,

How many mph were you traveling? If my music is super freaky, I can hang with 10-12 for a bit, but since I will be watching the Bucket List with my son today..who knows. lol.
 
Morning Maniacs! This morning I did a 25 min. hill climb on my mt. bike, then I did a mile on flat road doing standing intervals in my hardest gear. Great workout in 35 min.! I plan on doing Slim Series Firm it Up after work.

I have Rob (baby robin) in a big dog cage with a perch and everything, and dh took the nest out of the tree for him (he likes to stand on it) and I've been putting him out on the patio so he can hear all the other robins talking (hoping they all get familiar with each others voices and they accept him when he's let go[fingers crossed]). Internet says they are not fully self sufficient until they are 5 weeks old and that only 25% of Robins make it :eek:. So, looks like we have another couple of weeks before we let him go. We still have to hand feed him and he's not eating anything from the ground yet. How we got ourselves into this...I'll never know. But, we are determined that he will survive in the end.:)

Later, gotta go hand-feed myself and Rob.

It has to do with how many times you've posted. They even have something like TriCathlete for the mega posters! LOL!

I haven't used any of the software because none of it seems to work for me yet.
 
Yes! we had a great time. We hike Alta and saw the most beautiful wild flowers. Park City was having the art festival and that was a lot of fun. I bought a really neet purse and the artist signed it.
 
Hey Peeps!

So I'm finally here. I swear I went back and forth with the Cathe people trying to get my right e-mail and password so that I didn't have to start all over as a "newbie" but never could get it figured out. I know I had the right e-mail address b/c they still send me stuff there and I've sent them every password and username I've ever used. Oh well. They finally quit e-mailing me back. :( So I caved.

Today I did bi's and tri's. I'm on a break from my bike :( that started Sunday b/c of a knee issue. I've never had knee trouble in my life until this season. I see the sports medicine doc on Thursday for a follow up on my shoulder and I'm going to talk to him about that and how to rehab it to get back on the bike ASAP. I'm SO BUMMED b/c I was supposed to do a 62.5 mile ride on Sunday and I won't be able to do it now. It starts to hurt pretty bad 5 miles into my rides.

Still no migraines since my big bike crash on May 23rd. Yesterday my neurologist said that I could cut back my daily Topamax from 200mg a day to 150mg and see what happens. I'm SO excited about that!!!

Char - I was so sorry to read about your DH but so happy to see that things seem to be going well. I'll keep him in my prayers.

Glad to be back with you all. I've missed you!
