Oh forgot to mention my not graceful attempt at Plyo yesterday. First Plyo was the box jumps and I only have enough for 4 risers, so I am all set up take the first jump up completely misjudge the height my toes bang the side of the step and send it flying off the risers and I land in a heap on top of it!

Hey ladies. Just a quick update. I went to the doctor this morning and he is treating me for an ulcer. You can not truly diagnose one unless you do a scope, but he is going on my symtpoms and exam. I have a bunch of blood work pending and am starting on some meds.
My foot is acting a little better and I plan on starting back up tomorrow and we'll see what happens.
Linda-OUCH on those box jumps!! You are so lucky you didn't hurt yourself.
Judi, you are a maniac- hoping on the elliptical or bike when you have leg DOMS

The last workout of meso 2 is done!! I am looking forward to a recovery week as my muscles are sore and tight.
Catherine- Glad to hear you got in to see your doctor. Hoping for a quick recovery and that you can get back to working out soon.
Linda- Nice workout. I had to laugh at your comment on the 27 # being too easy for concentration curls. I had all I could handle with 20's today Of course in my defense, it was the very last set of biceps exercises in the workout and I was tired
Also, do you enter your STS workouts manually into your workout manager calendar? All of the sudden, mine have disappeared and I see someone else asked about it in the support forums. I sure hope they can fix it cuz it would be a bummer to have to enter everything again.

Judi - Are you asking about entering the weights you used? I don't key mine into the w/o manager.
OK, I am gonna try to get back into the saddle today
Catherine - How you feeling?
Saturday I did Kimberly Spreen's Cardio Combat Surge. What a really fun work out-it incorporates med ball and body bar routines along with kickboxing. Workout was 1:09 and I burned 531 calories.
This morning was Meso 3 Disc 28 CHest & Back which is just a repeat of last week but increasing the weight by 5% and decreasing the reps by one. Had a great workout. These were done push/pull style but with a rest between every set.
Oh and I load two different bars for this workout so I don't have to keep changing the weight out and used my 25# plates for the first time on the bar I had loaded for back. I felt like such a bad a$$ with those huge plates on there.
CHEST & BACK ROUND 1
Warm up Flat Bench Press
12/12 -55/60#
Flat Bench Press
7/7/7/7 - 95# (up 5#)
Barbell Rows
7/7/7/7 - 92# (jumped the weight by 10# this week)
CHEST & BACK ROUND 2
Chest Flys
7/7/7/7 - 30's (up 3#)
One Arm Row
7/7/7/7 - 49# (up 3#)
CHEST & BACK ROUND 3
Incline Bench Press
7/7/7/7 - 80# (up 5#)
Deadlifts
7/7/7/7 - 102# (up 7#)
CHEST & BACK ROUND 4
Incline Chest Flys
7/7/7/7 - 27's (up 3#)
One Arm Horizontal Row
7/7/7/7 - 44# (up 3#)
Workout was 1:05 and I burned 375 calories.

I'm on my recovery week and started out with Amy's Kickbox Surge. This was only the 2nd time I've done it so I had to stop and rewind a few times. Still, I burned 523 calories followed by an hour walk with the dog and burned another 189. Good thing too cuz I need to drop some poundage
Catherine- How did Lauren's KB go? Did you get in any chins? I think I'm going to revisit P90X after STS. All those push ups and pull ups made me feel tough Hope you are feeling better.
Linda- I was entering my workouts (not the weights used) into the calendar and all the sudden they disappeared. SNM has fixed the problem so just ignore my whining Nice workout, impressive numbers and YOU are a bad ass

FINALLY a workout done I did Lauren's KB w/o. I used my 8 & 12 kg bells. At first I didn't need the 1 min rest between rounds but toward the end I did I didn't do chins but will try to fit them in later in the week. I don't know if I'll go back to my P90X rotation yet. I wanna get the foot back to where it was.
Overall I still feel like blech. I am on meds for my stomach but everything I eat makes me feel sick. And I love to eat!! I am sure this too shall pass.
Linda, nice job!! Meso 3 had a big dread factor for me. But boy I felt accomplished lifting those heavy weights!!
Judi, I hope you are enoying your recovery week!! You'll need it with Meso 3 coming up

Judi- Thanks! Are you ready for Meso 3? While I like Meso 3 the rest seems endless, and I tire of listening to Cathe chat all the time. I am so use to being on my own.

Catherine - Great job on the workout! As far as the eating goes I need to have that problem right now!
This morning was Strikezone skipping the pushups in Strike 9 and just doing planks (chest is fried from yesterday). Workout was 57 minutes and I burned 439 calories.
Interesting that I worked TRi's on Friday and they are STILL sore!

Linda, I can not imagine for the life of me why you didn't do pushups today
I do think I am feeling better. A bit less pain with eating and I am getting my energy back!!
Did I tell you all that I am meeting up with Beavs, Tammy, Nancy, and TeTe in NYC this weekend? I am sooooo excited

I was planning on a CC w/o this evening on the bike but I went to the hospital instead. My Great Aunt had a stroke last night. She is 87 years old. Now she is paralyzed on the left side and can not swaollow She doesn't want any extra life supporting measures. She has an IV for fluids but if she can not swallow, she can not eat Unless she improves quickly she will starve to death I hate to see her going through this and just pray she doesn't suffer.

I actually liked Meso 3 the best in my first round of STS. I had never pushed myself to lift that heavy before and it was empowering. I needed that rest period and usually just walked around while hitting the MUTE button

I forgot to post my workout yesterday I did CCV8 on the elliptical. Those hills are killer and I cranked my resistance up to 12....it felt like pushing a tank across the floor!
Today is CleanMax which means I am very crabby because I hate cleaning my house It takes me about 8 hours and I'm tempted to wear my HRM just to see how many calories I burn
Being half German and a fan of Oktoberfest, I went to a German cooking class last night. I learned how to make spatzel, weiner schnitzel, westphalian braised cabbage, himmel und erbe potatoes, potato pancakes, sauerkraut and sampled 3 kinds of sausages. Washed all that food down with an Oktoberfest beer. YUM!!

I like Meso 3, it's my type of lifting, but I guess I haven't done lifting with long rests is a while, because they seem exceptionally long.
Ahh, I never thought about the mute button. I get tired of hearing the same thing over and over again.I forgot to post my workout yesterday

Nice workout! And I hate cleaning too! Boy, that's a lot of food!
I have been running around all day, heck I am still not even home I am at work. But I did Meso 3, Disc 29 Plyo Legs this morning. Workout was 54 minutes and I burned 481 calories. Those plyo workouts are tough! I will post my stats tomorrow!

Judi, I can only imagine CC on the elliptical. It's tough enough for me on the bike. Your cooking class sounds great!!
Linda, I figured Meso 3 would be right up your alley. Did you buy the discs? I thought you were doing them from the w/o cards.
I doubt I'll have time to post this evening. I'll be busy packing. I will be back around next week and hopefully in the full swing of things!
