Janie Congratulations on your full pike. Isn't FB great. I don't go on it much but it is nice to see what is happening to your friends where ever they are.

Eunice That is terrible about what happened to your friends son. I couldn't imagine what she is going through. It is good that you have each other. Is she in Australia short term like you or is it her home country? I can't remember where I downloaded the STs rotation. I think there must be something in Workout Manager. I hope you enjoyed your spa treatment.

Julie Good job on CTX10*10*10 and cardio only from Circuit Blast.

I went to restoritive yoga last night. It was very relaxing. It is a nice little yoga studio but I think it is a little too far to keep going after my free month. This morning I went to my Bootcamp workout. It is a lot of fun but it sure was raining. The instructor said that he has done 20 sessions so far and for 16 of them it has been raining. I am getting rather tired of the rain and cold. It really doesn't feel like it is almost July. I am still in jeans and a sweat shirt.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Yesterday evening my one of my daughters and my grandson came over for the night. Today Monique (daughter) her dog and Rolly went for an hour and 15 min. walk. Very beautiful outside, and the most fabulous walk.

Eunice, Yes I did feel awesome doing that pike. Tomorrow I may try another.

Julie, Great job on 10*10*10 cardio and cardio from CC. I love 10*10*10! OOOO I've been working on the levitation hold. Those are hard too. You talked me into it. I'll do the July rotation. Yea! I think lightening up on weights for TBS is a good idea.

Cheryl, Great job on restorative yoga and this mornings BC workout. Rain Go Away!

Have a good one,

Janie

Yesterday I did Kick Max Bootcamp/Kickbox Premix and the Heavy Bag Bonus from MMA Boxing. Then Jason and I had errands to run and work to do on his truck. In the last 2 weeks we have spent $500 on our cars. Ugh!! Oh well, it was all necessary work. Today I actually did a Stretch Max! I'm kind of proud of myself for taking time to do that since I always struggle with doing stretches outside of workouts.

Cheryl I don't blame you for not wanting to drive far for yoga once your free month is over. I also don't blame you for being sick of the rain. We have had more rain than we need to. It doesn't feel like summer at all.

Janie I bet you had a blast on your walk with your daughter and the two dogs! Seems like a great way to have some mother daughter time. I am glad you are going to do the July rotation to help spice up your workout routine. I can't wait to see what Cathe comes up with for you!

Have a great Sunday!

Janie Today was a great day for a walk. Nice for you to have your daughter and grandson come for a visit. Doing BC in the rain wasn't much fun but it was a great workout.

Julie Good job on your Kickbox premix and the Heavy Bag bonus from MMA Boxing. Cars are expensive to own but we all need them. We get along with one car which works the majority of the time. Sometimes it would be nice to have two though. It takes longer to get to the yoga studio than I thought it would. I am going to try to go again tomorrow night for hatha yoga.

Today I rode my bike to yoga. It was finally a nice day here. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Julie I don't remember the frogs part in that one I might gonna have to do it! Good job on doing the 10-10-10 I haven't done that one yet, how is it? it is cardio? You are right it feel good when I can beat my personal record, I almost don't even do the same today but I pushed my self and did 18 again! You just don't hate how hard it is to get in shape but to loose it you just need one week to gain weight I hate it, hate, hate last month I didn't work as hard as I did when I was doing February rotation, well, I feel like I gain weight NOT much but I did I will pick my own cardio too!.... Oh boy the facial Spa was sooooo good!!! almost 2 hours of pampering the lady gave me massage even on my upper body, my back, shoulders, I thought it was dermabration but it wasn't I got a microcurrent that it suppose to improve muscle tone in face, improve facial circulation, masc, and color therapy that it is red light and blue light, it was good, next time I'm going to get me a body massage

Janie sounds like a very lovely day you had with your daughter and the dogs, enjoy your weather, that's just great I did get my facial spa it wasn't any sand paper on my face it was all massage and all that good stuff! Of course it was 2 hours away from where we live so it took us all day to get this done, very nice area of Melbourne very nice

Julie You are a very busy lady, good for you for doing all those workouts Kick Max BC, Kickbox premix and Heavy bag workout.... a very good combo It is very expensive to maintain the cars, last time DH spent 9000 on hes truck because when he went deploy I didn't run the truck for him so of course it was my fault according to him, but to me it was just because he bought an old truck good for stretching that's very important too.

Cheryl Ooooh! you did the BC again? what you think, you are going to be sore for the rest of the week? Good for you!! It looks like you are enjoying yoga, I was reading that they are so many types of yoga, even for injured people, that one I would like to do and see if my shoulder get better. which one are you doing? We also have one car here we don't need 2 we are just fine next year we are going to have to sell it, its funny I don't feel like I own anything to me it feels like I'm borrowing only About my friend they moved to Australia her husband change over the Australian Army so they are permanents here. I did enjoy my spa experience it was my first time and I can easily get use too It sucks that it rains and it gets cold when you are ready for a good sweat, maybe next week it will get better and your yoga sounds good too, good job!

Pam Are you having fun? good!

Today was leg day for me it was a good workout, first I took Sam out for a little walk, he is not allowed to run free in the field yet, he is fine now but I don't want him to start eating trash.... not yet So after that I did disc 3 and core from musclemax I was going to do the lower part from that one but I don't want over do my legs because I have another day this week for legs so little by little I'm going to build up my endurance....
DH went to the field this week poor guy its freezing out side at night I hope he get his appointment soon that way he can get out of the field, so even when I miss him this week its going to be an easy one since I don't have to have to cook every night for him, feed the girls its rather easy
Have a good day everyone!

Rolly and I walked by ourselves today for 30 min. I was working on him to come to me on command. He's doing very well. He was off his leash a lot today. He seemed to have confidence doing that.

Julie, great job on yesterdays BC/KB and today's Stretch Max (Also proud of you). Cars can get expensive at times. But your right, it's necessary.

Cheryl, That's so cool to ride your bike to yoga practice. Can't get better than that.

Eunice, How do I get to befriend you on FB? Glad you enjoyed your day at the spa. Sounds so nice. Great job on the little walk with Sam, disc 3, core and MM. Great way to build oup endurance.

Janie Look for me Eunice Andrews and send me a friend request, I was looking for you I couldn't find you by Janie only..

Hi ladies, I'm back but not going to try to reply to all of the posts from while I was gone. I did read them all of course and everyone is really doing great with the workouts! Pikes, yoga, double workouts, yowza!

The weekend was really nice, the shower was beautiful and the bride is so sweet and so appreciative of everything. She got so much great stuff too! It was a terrible weekend as far as food and working out go for me though. Friday night I went to bed and my stomach hurt from eating too much spaghetti and garlic bread. Plus we were baking for the shower that day so there were a lot of little nibbles throughout the afternoon. Then on Saturday, for the shower we had quiche, croissants, watermelon salad for main course and 3 desserts: chocolate peanut butter mousse, lemon bars and flourless chocolate cake. We need a little pink pig icon for me to insert here....That night for dinner we got pizza and I again went to bed with my stomach hurting from all of the food. Ugh. Yesterday was the drive back and it was a little better. This morning I got up and did back and biceps disc 14 since I wasn't able to do it on Saturday. I will try to do Hiit DWP tonight to get caught up, but then we leave again this weekend for a week so I'll be all out of whack again. I was afraid to get on the scale this morning but I was actually down .2 pounds It's probably just delayed in showing up though, so I'm not going to celebrate unless it lasts all week.

I was in kitten heaven this weekend. Both my MIL and SIL are fostering kittens, so between them there are 8 little kittens up there. One of them they named McLovin, climbed on my lap and laid on his back sleeping. They are so cute. Luckily I made it home without any! Have a great Monday everyone!

This morning was HiiT 30/30 and Ab Circuits Weights & Plates. Man do those plates get you every time!!! We have had severe thunderstorms and torrential rains all last night. Apparently there were 3 separate storm cells that came through the area. I only remember two but I tend to sleep pretty well through storms.

Cheryl So glad you got a nice day without rain and could ride your bike to yoga! Yea!! Is hatha yoga the one where they keep the room very hot? I don’t know my yoga practices very well at all. I kind of wish there was a place near me that offered yoga for a decent price but I don’t see my small town of 400 getting a yoga studio anytime soon!

Eunice Great job on disc 3 and abs from MM! I actually love the legs from Meso 1 so much that I kind of miss them! 10*10*10 is a good one. It is 10 minutes of kickboxing, 10 minutes of hi/lo, and 10 minutes of step. It flies by but is still a good calorie burner. Your spa day sounds fantastic! I would love to have a spa day or a full body massage. It has been 11 years since my last massage and I still remember how great it felt. I keep telling myself I will spoil me some day!

Janie Great job on your walk with Rolly! That is great that you are working on his come command. Oscar is terrible with that one. He hears us but just looks at us like we are stupid if we think he is going to come over there when he spent time running in the other direction. Maggie on the other hand will come with no problems.

Pam Wow sounds like you had a very good time! That’s pretty good that you didn’t gain any weight after that weekend feast (which sounds absolutely amazing but I would probably be right there with you having tummy aches all weekend). Great job for getting disc 14 done! And even better job on not bringing home any kittens with you! It can be so hard to not want to take care of all the animals out there.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Eunice Yep it was BC again. I have another 4 weeks of it. I was sore but no where near as sore as I was after the 1st week. The yoga that I do is Hatha, I have also tried Kundalini yoga which concentrates more on breathing. The spa is a wonderful place and it is easy to get used to it. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

Janie Nice that you can have Rolly off leash. Sometimes that is nice so he can run around more. Riding my bike to yoga is nice. It is a busy road but they have a bike lane which I like. I feel safer having it instead of riding on the road with the cars.

Pam You had a nice weekend. The food sound wonderful even though you had too much. Funny when you are with a bunch of people you always seems to eat way more that if you were on your own. I do the same thing and then go to bed like you with my stomach hurting. Kittens are so cute. I like the name McLovin. I don't know if I could have made it home with at least one more .

Julie Lucky that you can sleep through storms. We have had the torrentail rain but not the thunder. The yoga that they do in the hot room is Bikram yoga. I am not sure if I would like that one or not since I do not do well in the heat. Hatha is more of the gentle stretching. I agree that your small town won't get a yoga studio soon. Cathe has two new yoga workouts coming so that will help you out. Yoga is not cheap to go to at least not around here. Drop in rates are $15 and a one month membership is about $100 depending on the studio.

Well I stayed up too late watching the first episode of the season for True Blood last night . So needless to say I couldn't get up in time to workout.

Have a great Tuesday.

Cheryl
