Morning Maniacs -
This morning I started a FF week. I did Tracey Staehle's Sculpt Sweatfest. With w/u & c/d workout was 70" and I burned 267 calories. Not a big calorie burner due to the lying work. I really enjoyed this. I really think you need to do these types of workouts not looking for a Cathe style weight workout and you'll get a LOT more out of it. Kneeled on the Bosu not the Stab Ball...as I'm not able to balance yet. This is a real burner. I wore ankle weights for the lying leg work and used a DB ...but I had to take them off for her ab work. She's certainly the Core Lady Du Jour!!
Kel - how are you? Missed you over the weekend.
Jen - The only thing I notice when I detox my liver is some slight dizziness/lightheadedness. I'm on so much medication right now...that I doubt it stays detoxed long....on this prednisone and antibiotics from the sinus specialist. Yuck. My DH is the one who wanted to try house flipping. It's really his project. I support him though. He actually got the idea when our income's kept getting cut with pay cuts, pension freezing, bonus stopping...etc. He felt we needed to make try to make that money up another way. I'm lucky that my DH is very aware of finances. He was obssessed with paying our house off since we got married. Since we started out later in life...he didn't want to be in debt forever...so he worked very diligently (paying a lot extra on the payment when we could afford) and now that our house is paid off, we can get a Home Equity Loan with our house as collateral to invest in the flipping. It's all his idea....as I get a bit nervous paying for someone else's house when they are still living in it!! ...as was the case in the most recent purchase. However, I do think this one will go a lot quicker on the market and is a much better sell. We'll see if I'm right. My DH and the guy who does our painting agreed. You would NOT beleive the way people live! It's disgusting! Plus they trash the place, haul anything away that they can take and leave tons of junk behind. It's lots of work! My poor DH worked like a maniac all weekend on that house. He was ripping down to layers of wallpaper and cleaning the filth. I helped a little but no where near what he did. He is a VERY hard worker and has TONS of ambition. I used to be that way...but I'm mellowing with age.
Gotta run - I've got to clean and then I'm taking Mom to the Doctors and have errands to run for her. I also need to clean her house, do her laundry and grocery shopping. I tell ya...I'm starting to feel like a real Suzy Homemaker....can't take it! Yuck........now all I need is a stove! I've also got to start going door to door job hunting later in the week, as my unemployment is nearing end. No jobs in the paper yesterday!!!
Have great workouts ladies.
ETA -- forgot to mention - I've gone thru my VHS fitness vids and got it to the point where I need to watch them to decide....so I've been watching older vids all weekend. Yikes....the MUSIC! I can appreciate some of the newer stuff's music much more ...even if it still isn't great. I'm still having a great deal of difficulty pitching stuff. I think I've only pitched about 1/4th of what I've gone thru so far. Even if they're dated......I think of a reason to keep it.....ugh....such a pack rat. I ordered some new stuff from Deep Discount's sale over the weekend. Got some newer yoga coming...have no idea what to expect!
