Morning Ladies -
This morning I did Patrick Goudeau's Hard Work Conditioning. I paused the DVD and added a couple sets of various exercises cuz I don't think I went heavy enough on a couple of exercises. It's hard to gauge this in his workouts, as I know I have to go lighter because of the different spin he puts on moves and the way he brings the core into the move...so I just need to practice getting the weights right. Workout was 70" and I burned 532 calories. (I'm really enjoying Patrick. He works the heck out of your legs and I think he's especially beneficial to us ladies that tend to store our fat from the waist down because of the way he works the legs. I actually think I saw slight results in my legs after doing his DVDs for a week and a half. He even states that he throws a lot of lower body in his DVDs cuz he knows us ladies need extra work in that area.....how kind of him! LOL).
Speaking of Patrick - I bought a couple of his (so called easier) Step workouts from the DDD sale recently and just rec'd Step My Way yesterday. I was previewing it last night. Yikes......this is an easier one? He sure turns a lot!! It looks fun...but I don't know if I'll ever get all of it. I may have to wait until my brain isn't so overloaded from the new job. I'm really liking him as an instructor. Anyone else here ever try anything by him? (jen - I know you tried him, but Kitchen Sink was the least fave of his IMO - I liked Body by Design the best.......so if you're ever in the mood to try Patrick - I'd rent that one).
Quaker oats came out with this new hot cereal that has oats, barley, etc and pecans. It's pretty low in sugar and tastes okay. I'm eating a double serving this morning cuz I'll be working the front desk today ...which means I won't get to eat anything for at least 6 hours or so. I'm really slow with the front desk part of my job, as they only had me up there for a couple of hours on a couple of days. I've been practicing posting check payments, write offs, and calling on insurance problems mostly since I've been there. This week I'm going to start to do more front desk and start to take "new patient" phone calls ..........which requires filling in 9 million screens on the computer......so I guess I'll be slow at that too.
Jen - I guess I did get a bit sore in some places from that Jari workout. It's just too much hassle to decorate when working full time, etc. It seems like by the time you get everything up, it's time to take it down.
