Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, Cathy, and Valerie--
This morning I did Travel Fit (50 min.). Had to fend off a couple of Max's dives at my band!
This week has been hectic for me because I am not used to it. Meetings both Tuesday and yesterday from 4-5:30. My classes are fine, but I am really tired after teaching non-stop from 1:10-3:50. The meeting yesterday was the faculty meeting where we were told all kinds of things about budget-cutting. I am very curious about their incentives for early retirement. If they are good enough, I might just take the offer. I have been at this since 1972. One of the ironies here is that they built these wonderful faculty office bldgs. because they were on a hiring binge to expand the faculty. Now they are talking about making the faculty smaller. They should have built the new library first, but it was part of the plan that removed faculty from the previous office bldg. Now they have to put off the new library until 2012 and there will probably be empty offices in our glamorous new buildings. Who knew the endowment would plummet the way it did??
Deb, I really like this Kickbox workout. There are 5 little workouts followed by impact-laden surges (hence, I do the premix that takes them out). Amy Bento also has a modifier, so if you want to do the surges, you can do a lower impact version of them, but this makes the workout kind of long. There are also a couple premixes that are even shorter than my no-surge one, where you do 1-3 with the surges or 3-5 with the surges--haven't tried them yet. Like the music, Amy is fun, and I really work up a sweat. I think you would also like Bootcamp Boogie with Petra Kolber. Kickmax never got my heartrate up because I couldn't do those impact blasts.
Glad you liked Avatar, Valerie. I thought it was a really beautiful film. Pandora was gorgeous.
Joan, I am telling you again--get some Cold-eeze and as soon as you get a sore throat, start sucking on them. They really do work.
