Morning Ladies-
This morning I did Denise Austin's Fat Burning Dance Mix (don't laugh) and then I added on about 15 minutes of Janis Saffel's Strike Zone. Cardio was 55" and I burned 330 calories. I kept my HR in the 70-75% of max range. I also did Being In Yoga with Daryl Dewald (on the beach in Hawaii ).
I bought this Austin DVD cuz I saw someone said it was fun and they were from this Forum. I love to do latin dance....so it was cool. I've always liked Denise, however, she's a trip!
On the yoga DVD, it's 90" and I only did about 45-50" of it and it was still a good practice. It's sort of advanced for me..so i had to modify. I skipped the inversions segment and another short segment.
Not sure if I'm going to a movie today as the DH is painting down at our other house since the scheduled person was not reliable.
Kel - yes, my DH and I went round and round about this job cuz he says I'll be making slightly less than my unemployment wage. I doubt there is room for advancement, as they offer a "bonus incentive" program to the medical billers.....therefore, if you pull a lot of money in the practice, you can get 1-2 dollars more an hour, but I'm not counting on anything than my basic pay rate....or I'll set myself up for disappointment. Why are you doing construction this weekend?
Jen - sorry about your weight check in. I have gained weight since I've been home from work and I'm disgusted with myself. I need to lose a couple of pounds just to be at the weight I was when I was working and I wanted to lose some weight even then. My appetite has been horrendous being on this prednisone. I'm famished constantly....but that's sort of normal for me LOL. I always look at the up and coming fitness people they list in the back of Oxygen's and look at their height and weight to see what I should weigh. I usually look at their bone structure though...as I think I may be small boned. My facial features are very tiny. I wear children's glasses and when I bought a helmet (back in my rollerblading days), I had to buy a child's size, but I'm taller 5'7"....so I never know what frame size to consider myself.
Re: job - the benefits are lousy also. Max vacation time is 2 weeks (after 2 years) - no sick time or personal days. No 401 K or pension, etc. No health insurance either. Lousy...lousy...lousy.
Re: Michelle Dozois' new DVD - yes - I bought it at Collage. However, my copy is defective. I called them yesterday and they said they were aware of the problem, as the entire batch was the same way. They will be shipping me a new one when they get the new batch and said for me to pitch the current one.....however, he also told me how to get around the glitch in it. When you press play all, it actually stops after the warmup and goes back to the main menu and you have to sit thru the beginning again......but he said if you hit skip right at the end of the w/u - it will take you to the first segment of the workout and you don't have to go back to the beginning.......so if you'd like my DVD after I get my new one, I'd be glad to mail it to you. I actually am watching my older Michelle Dozois stuff and just watched a workout that used to be a bit complex (step wise) for me and it actually looks fun. It's called Breakthru Body Blast. Are you familiar with it?
Well........I best go get my bath......gotta do my nails today since I have a job to go to. I've been so spoiled....not wearing makeup or doing my nails since I've been off and my nails have never been healthier....no chipping and splitting! Isn't that something?
Have a great day.
