Good morning! Yes, Ivy, that was one crazy, tough workout yesterday! Even my back is sore today from all of those push ups.
This morning was cardio for me, and I stretched the boundaries by doing Ilaria's Bodystrikes. I just got it, so that was the first time I've done it, and I really liked it. More of a steady-state cardio. I think my numbers were 245 calories, 121/143 -- for a 45 minute workout. I tacked on some tabata work to boost the cardio factor (but the hrm numbers are just for her workout). It's a very repetitive workout, but man, it was done in no time, and I sweat quite a bit.
Kathy, I may have mentioned that my SIL home schooled her four kids for many years. Well, they moved to Vermont last summer, so for the first time the kids went to school this fall. The older boys might both be in high school, the girl is in middle school, and the younger son is in 3rd grade. Well, the girl, who's 11, wrote a "resignation letter" to the school. It was an amazing letter, and not at all scripted by the parents. She basically said she was fed up with all of the social ugliness that middle school girls play, and she was getting a great education at home, so she has decided to go back to home schooling. On the one hand, I'm sorry to see she's having such a hard time dealing with the girls, and I know she has to learn to deal with that kind of stuff -- that's life -- on the other hand, the letter she wrote was pretty awesome.
Chris, how are you, friend? I thought about you a lot this weekend.
Hottie, what's new on the house front? And what does your high impact countdown timer say at this point?
Oh Joanne, how are things in your neck of the woods?
We had a good weekend -- made good progress on the garden in spite of the rain (sprinkles really) we had. One of these days maybe I'll put up some pictures.
