Hello everyone from Luxembourg... You must have wondered if my plane crashed somewhere over the Atlantic...but no, here I am crazy as hell but alive...LOL
I had to search a few pages as I couldn't find the Xers... but I'm glad I found you again. I know I am not very regular, but I value and cherish the interaction I have with all of you. And all the great information... priceless...
Life has been a little hectic to say the least and is about to get even crazier... I have travelled with DH and I am back here in Lux until next Wednesday at which point I return to Detroit for a few weeks. It is the time of year that I start my garden. I tried the last time I was home but we still had snow fall so I couldn't. Bummer...x(
DD is in good spirit. She was flying yesterday to San Francisco as she has been invited to a private audition with a contemporary ballet company there. She must be auditioning as we speak, so please send plenty of vibes her way. The artistic director in NYC is still very interested in her and she should have some news soon. So we are keeping our fingers crossed that something positive will happen in the near future.
Well as far as I am concerned, I finished P90X as you all know and did 2 weeks of recovery as my back was not doing too well. I thought I'd be OK with one but my body told me otherwise...x( So I filled the 2 weeks with cardio, Pilates and plenty of Yoga and stretches. I started the P90X+ maintenance today with Upperbody+ and Abs/Core + which I liked but OMG what it though!!!! after 2 weeks of no weights. It's amazing how fast you loose your muscle endurance in 2 weeks. I had to sub all the abs pull with the bar as I don't have one here in Lux but I am looking forward to do them in MI. I will do a quick stretch for the back with Classic Stretch before diner.
Now onto some personnals.:+ :+
Traci~~ Hi girls and thank you as always to start us up. I might do it tomorrow morning. We are back to 6 hours difference with MI. You are as chippy as always I see. Hope you had a good packing session. You are like me...I pack the lastt minute, although I can't say I travel very light... a girl needs options...:9
Lea/Mia~~ I am glad to see you have started regular w/o. I take it that your back is better. Still be careful as once a back patient, always a back patient...at least that's what they told me.x(
Wendy~~ Nope you didn't loose me. Life just got in the way... I am glad that Phil will take you to the airport. I agree with you about the possible modifications for the injured, intermediate, moody...whatever... . I remember a while ago posting this very suggestion to Cathe and OH MY... all the comments from the advanced. Although I consider myself more advanced than intermediate...it's just that very often one need a modification for whatever reason, so it's good to have a choice.:+
Laurie~~ I had a chuckle when you talked about Cami joining you in bed. I miss out Tiger so much. He wouldn't do that as he was not allowed in bed but he would sure do it if we were on the carpet or sitting. Just coming and squeezing his nose under our arm...precious...;-)
Sandra~~ Well it seems I have the same sleep pattern as you; 11pm-7am is about my time. I need at least 7 hours to function. DH can do it with 4-6...no can do for me.}(
I have to say I envy all of you that will be traveling this week for the retreat. Trust me if I could have done it I would have. I hope there will be a next time. As I said perhaps I can organize one. OK I have to admit that coming to MI is not as nice as NC but we have enough place to have a lot of fun... Having said that ENJOY YOURSELF...:+ :+ :+
Cheers,
