I did Cathe's Muscle Max stretch. I had to skip a the last set of legs in the last circuit cuz I was running out of time. Workout was 70" and I burned 428 calories. Probably could have went a bit heavier on a few exercises....but this was the first run through. Tunes were the Chili Peppers - Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magick.
Have great workouts everyone.
Jen - glad to hear Lenny is already improving. How long does he have to go for chemo again? When do you see if your last IVF took? So - you liked Super Charged Kickbox Party? I only did part of that one once. I'll have to try it again. I love Jeanette Jenkins..but not sure if I like kickbox and dance together?
Have a great day everyone. Ugh.........back to work Monday!!

I have to take him in every Tuesday and he stays at the vet all day unless I have the day off. re: Fertility Stuff-I have already tested to see if the last IUI took and I am not sure. I have taken two tests that are about the faintest positive you can imagine-really calling them positive is a REALLY BIG stretch. It is hard to tell whether the second line is really "there" or not. (I have the tests where 2 lines is pregnant, 1 line is not.) The one line that means you are not is very dark and definately there. The second line also appears but it is so faint you can barely even say it is there. There are all kinds of reasons for it (as I found out on the web) such as "evaporation" or "ghost" lines that make interpreting these things more of a mystery than I realized. Although, I do have to say that the test I took with the last IUI was no doubt negative and there was not even the shadow of a second line. It is actually too early to test, so I will know more in a couple of days. I tested at about 7 to 8 days before my expected period date, but you really shouldn't test more than 5 days out. I normally don't have an interest in testing early but my pants stopped fitting and I wanted to find another reason beyond my less-than-clean diet of late, so I decided to test early! LOL!
