Morning Ladies -
This morning I did Jillian's Frontside Circuit for Beginners (but she gives advanced tips also). I really upped the weights on this today since it was my 2nd time thru and had a great workout. Circuit was about 52" and then I added on some new Firm - Cardio Overdrive for a bit. Total workout was 1 hour 25 minutes and I burned 550 calories. I then did Lotte Berk - Muscle Eats Fat - Bonus Blast (legs) and Yoga for Stress Release 30".
This yoga session was more of a restorative session. The DVD has two sessions on it, stress release and stress prevention. I should have done the other one...as I only do restorative once in a while and usually at night.
I'm really liking these circuits. It's a great way to lift heavy - get a good muscle soreness and burn calories. I'm thinking I should do these all of the time, but I know you have to change things up periodically. I'm still sore from the Backside workout the other day.
The new Firm's look pretty good. I previewed them last night and I enjoyed the small portion I did today. The cardio is mixed impact and has some kickboxing moves thrown in. The music is half decent and the set is clean and airy. I'm very inspired by the new Firm Trainer that leads the weighted workout. I'll be trying that one first - High Definition Sculpt.
Jen - my DH wants me to get a job in my field, but one where the pay/benefits are better. This place I was working hired people with no medical experience. I also heard from my Mom's physical therapist yesterday (who has worked for the place on a per diem basis) that the place is a joke. She said "you don't want to work there". She actually also knew the office manager I spoke of and shook her head. She also informed me that a Chiropractor that worked there recently raped a patient! and he it was a big thing in the news recently. The interesting thing is that I had prayed all morning for God to give me a sign that the job just wasn't meant to be cuz I was feeling so guilty and then this all happened at lunch. My Mom just sort of blurted out that I had gotten fired from the place and then we started talking. Furthermore, her therapist (who comes from a family of psychologists, counselors, etc.) noticed that my Mom and I are both perfectionists and she asked me the sort of things that transpired at this office and she totally understood where I was coming from and said I would find something better because I'm a more valuable employee. I guess I needed to hear all that, but yet I still doubt myself and the situation. This is really rough going thru all of this! I have been exhausted from all of the mental drain.
enough of my blabbing................hope all is well with you. take
care
Kel - what's up??

. Sooooo, I guess I will continue this circuit rotation next week. My butt and thighs looked leaner this week. If I end up going down a pants size, I am not going to worry what the scale says anymore. It's just not going to reflect the way I look & feel.
