Hi, guys! Quick checkin although not much to report. I did 4DS Lower Body last night and Power Circuit abs this morning. Whether I workout tonight will depend on whether or not I can talk DH into going to a parent meeting for me. ;) My shoulder is injured. I keep hoping it will get better...

It's funny reading this thread that all of us so far weren't able to checkin much if at all last week. But at least we're all here now! :) Sam - Painting is definitely a workout - especially if you're moving furniture or up and down on a ladder. What color did you use and for what room? We...

Heartymax - Glad you had a relaxing weekend and finished one of your papers. I don't think writing papers is relaxing though. ;) I hated writing papers when I was in school. DD is working on her college essay and I don't envy her one bit. Laurie & Sam - If I don't get my workout in first...

Heartymax - Congrats to DS for a good game! A lesson to be learned for sure and better for him to make the mistake NOW when he's younger. Football is such an emotional sport isn't it? Sam - I skip calve work, too. Of all my body parts that is probably the area I need the least work...

Laurie - DD is a senior this year so she has a little time left to decide. She'll be applying to 4 schools I think. Did I tell you we visited Marquette? $43,000 a year! They claim they offer lots of scholarship but a neighbor's son wanted to go there and they didn't offer him anything. He got...

Just got back from a 2 mile walk and it's still dark outside! Don't like that. Couldn't sleep very well last night. First day of school and I kept thinking about everything going on. Heartymax - Glad I could help expand your football vocabulary! LOL. I haven't tried To the Max yet but I did...

Happy Labor Day! Sorry I haven't been posting but my life has been so crazy with school stuff, college stuff and football that something had to give. Also, I had to reevaluate my fitness goals. I've finally accepted that other things are more important in my life than fitness. I will...

Brenda - My sister is a receptionist for an acupuncturist in Madison and while she's never had it done she says lots of people come in for pain relief. I'd definitely try it. I'm glad the low impact is helping your leg. Sam - I'm impressed by anyone who can sew. Hemming white marching band...

Heartymax - Yes, welcome to high school football! LOL It's definitely crazier than middle school and we've had to adjust our work schedules a bit, too. On top of practices you've got all the impromptu "let's hang out at _______'s house" or BWW and arranging rides for that. Susan - Other than...

Laurie - I'm glad the weather was cooler for you. Only 3 weekends to go, huh? You won't know what to do with yourself. So Skogg is kettlebell? I haven't kept up with everything new coming out. There's just so much. Finished up week 2 of Meso 3 on Friday with Disc 30 Shoulders, Bis and...

Hey, guys! Busy week (again). Just giving you a quick "I'm still alive" post so you don't think something happened to me. Did STS Disc 28 Chest/Back on Saturday and STS Disc 29 Plyo Legs this morning. Lots of walking at State Fair and house cleaning yesterday. Keep up the good work...

Heartymax - I just did Disc 26 the other day. Great workout! I didn't think to sub tuck jumps with jumping on the step. I did about half of them and bounced in place for the rest. Great news on your cholesterol! I have to have mine tested soon for work so I'm hoping the numbers are as good...

Sorry I didn't post last week. Had a haircut and mammo (my first digital one) and took Friday off to tour UW-Platteville with DD. The rain screwed up my workout schedule last week. I wanted to do Couch to 5K but either it was rainy or too hot and I wanted to get in my running before Plyo Legs...

Heartymax - Welcome to the Plank Party! I did mine last night. I know what you mean about being unsure about form on those side planks. I stack my feet but my balance isn't so great so I wobble and I think the arm holding me up is too far forward instead of right under my shoulder. Don't...

Brenda - CoffeyFit These are the 2 new dvds Kelley is releasing soon (late summer). I have to admit I haven't watched clips yet but so far I like everything I have from Kelley. Susan - We have someone at work who turns on her space heater all the time, too. We tease her because it feels...

Heartymax - You look gorgeous! Nice arm definition. I haven't done TriSets in a while so can't picture the exercise but it sounds like a good one! Susan - Weekends are tough on me for eating, too. (So are week days! :o) But weekends are especially tough. I haven't decided if I want to get...

Good Monday everyone! I am going to try to be better about posting this week. I finally finished Meso 2 on Saturday with the added bonus of DD working out with me! I was shocked when I teasingly asked her if she wanted to join me and she said yes. :eek: I was still babying my wrist so I let...

Brenda - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a good one! Susan - I have to go back and watch clips of Cross Fire and To the Max. Do they both use weights? I would like to play hookey today, too. Gorgeous weather. Heartymax - Congrats to DS for winning the championship! What a pain to have to...

Hello everyone! Sorry to be so bad about posting. I thought this summer would be less hectic because the kids aren't playing baseball/softball but it hasn't. Last Friday we moved our DR (disaster recovery) box to its co-location site so that kept me busy at work. I'm still doing STS and Couch...

Hi all! Sorry I didn't post much last week but I was off on Wednesday and Thursday/Friday afternoons. DD had Senior pics taken and DS had football camp. DS stayed on the 10th floor of the dorm and on Friday when I picked him up the elevators were so busy we used the stairs. I NEVER would...
