Hi all!
There was a sudden heavy rain storm last night, like weird jungle rain storm, likely brought on by the weather in Hokkaido. But it brought a really sunny, beautiful day today. I haven't heard anything about what happened with last night's Hokkaido tsunami. I hope everyone is all right.
Anyway, I just finished my workout. Today was my first time to try FitPrime : Metaboost.
And in good spirit, like FitPrime's Flex Posture, I'm renaming this FitPrime workout, too. The new name is:
FitPrime : Do The Zirconia Mishmash!
SARCASTIC NEGATIVITY ALERT!! : Okay, I'm going to have to stoop to sarcasm, so those of you who are easily offended, please skip the following few paragraphs LOL.
First off, let me toot my horn, if I may : I guess I've gained a lot of strength through Cathe, because I don't feel like I worked out AT ALL. Unless running around for a chair, no, a yoga block, no, a stick, no, the chair again, no, a dumbbell and a stick, no, no, the yoga block and a stick, well okay, no, yeah, go back to a chair" is considered cardio. And don't forget, you should be using your weaker leg!
HUH?!
And, okay, the set ain't doin it for me. It's like the most cheesy dance club I've ever been to, but with the lights turned on bright.
Don't even talk to me about the music : Pop! Organic! Country! World! Over-the-top orchestral music set to a beat! (Obviously borrowed from the Flex Posture soundtrack LOL.)
**SARCASTIC NEGATIVITY ALERT OFF**
That being said, there were a bunch of moves I hadn't seen or done before, and even though I didn't feel like I was doing anything, my HRM told me that "sometimes" I was.
Anyway, onwards!
Dana - Ohooo! Will we be able to hear from you more often now that you can sneak a peak at work? We hope we hope!..........you did what?! You got up at 4am to work out?! HOLY MOTHER! I would not be able to do that. You have some strive, woman!
Deb - Thanks for thinking of me when you saw the Japan news - all's good here in Tokyo. And I'm SO pleased to hear that you are maybe maybe maybe getting the weight lifting bug?! WEEEEE! No, no, I won't get too excited. Don't want to put pressure on you LOL. I loooooove Slow & Heavy. It's probably my favorite weights DVD. But then, that's coming from a former cardio-hater, so it's hard for me to say whether you might be into that...but if you felt that endurance was ho-hum, well, S&H is totally different! Half of it is resting! LOL. But seriously, if you like Gym, and you want to try something besides endurance weights, definitely go for S&H! As for being as hard as Gym Style,...hmmm. They're very different. I personally have a harder time lifting with little rest time in between, but can and like to lift very heavy in a concentrated amount of reps, with rest time. So I guess I'd have to say that Gym Style is more difficult for me in the respect that you go from one set to another fairly quickly. But I still recommend S&H, especially since you're getting into the heavier weights. Tee hee! Tell me what you do!
Netta - No matter what I do, I'm like, always hungry. I think I get it from my mom who always answers when I ask her if she's hungry "I can always eat!" OoooooOOOOooo, the apple cake got mentioned again. Sounds sooo goooood. Glad the party was a success! You know, I think Humble Beginnings may have sold out on Christi's site. Someone wrote to her to ask if she had an extra copy (a few months ago) and ended up being able to get a copy that way. If all else fails, you might try to write.
Cheers out to Michele, Diane, Jana, Ellen and the rest!

. I take that back. I did make it to the grocery store and I fixed a nice dinner but, aside from that--NOTHING
