    Damage Control-October

    This week has been STS in evening with DH on M/T/W and cardio in the a.m. Yesterday was XT SC and the conditioning portion of XT HS and the 100 rep biceps. Poor Marlo looks like she is really hurting on the last few reps. I used dumbbells and weighted gloves to make 25lbs and changed to...

    Is anyone still doing STS?

    I just restarted this past Monday. I've lost count at how many times I've done the program as is, something like six or seven. This time though, DH is joining me for the first time. It's way more fun when someone is suffering along side you. I'm also going to pick a series each week for the...

    Damage Control-October

    Beth, so sorry about what your dad is going through. I hope it all turns out well. I'll be sending you happy thoughts. Saturday was a day off and Sunday was a 40+ mile bike ride. I finally made the 3000 mile mark for this year. I'm way behind last year, but I honestly could care less...

    Damage Control-October

    Today was XT BS total upper body premix. I really enjoyed it and the 78 min went by fast. Hopefully we get some bike miles in this weekend. I'm sick of waiting around for medical tests results, so I'm going to stop worrying about it and will be restarting STS on Monday. Beth, twelve hours on...

    Damage Control-October

    I've had a blip in the health department. I'm taking it easy, having a bunch of tests done. I am still working out, just laying a bit low. Diana, I hope you're feeling better. I'm thinking about starting STS next Monday. I'm doing XT this week for weights and cardio. I wish my basement TV...

    Gibbee, I've always wondered this same thing. I would love to view them first before hitting the download button.

    Damage Control-September!!

    Yesterday was TTM and today was RK and GS BSB. I'm feeling a little better than I was this weekend. It looks like rain until Monday, so I won't be riding for awhile. Diana, that's crazy on the timing of the new job. I hope it all goes smoothly for you. How are your nerves doing? How are...

    Damage Control-September!!

    Friday was our anniversary ride up the coast of Maine. It ended up being a 64 miles. We did a short ride on Saturday and GS C&T yesterday. I've haven't been feeling very well lately, I keep getting nauseous on and off during the day, especially when on the bike. I hope it's just a weird...

    Damage Control-September!!

    I can't remember the last time I checked in. Saturday was a day off, Sunday was a long bike ride, yesterday was M1D10 C,S, and Bi's and XT Burn Sets C, S, and back. This morning was Imax 3 and B&G floor and stability ball abs premix. I've upped my ankle weights to 4.5 lbs and I love the feel...

    Damage Control-September!!

    Last night was our first night ride of the year. Such a bummer we have to charge the bike lights up again. This summer went too fast! This morning will be STS Back and Tri's. I'll add in one of the STS abs segments and the stretch. Diana, I'm so excited that you'll be starting this new...

    Damage Control-September!!

    Okay, so last week was a blur. I'm back to work and this week is the busiest of the year. Lots of extra projects around the school and of course this was the week FIL needed lots of help and the puppy had a severe allergic reaction and had to be rushed to the emergency vet twice. DD bought a...

    Damage Control-September!!

    This weekend was lots of bike miles and a calm kayak paddle. Yesterday was M1D4, LIHI CST and pilates abs. This morning was M1D6 legs. We'll be doing lots of potato digging for my FIL, who has a leg injury. He runs a small garden stand, so we've been stepping in. Can I tell you, it's much...

    Damage Control-September!!

    Today was Amy Bento's In the Ring, which is my all time favorite cardio kickboxing workout. I took a long break from doing this workout during my series rotation. It felt so good to run through it again. I am a sweaty mess right now and my core is cooked! I did the first week of STS just to...

    Barbell Set

    We have been searching for the last two days for a barbell set. I have the old Firm four foot padded barbell, which doesn't seem to be available anywhere for purchase. DH doesn't want sand filled plates and the Troy Lite bar only holds a maximum of 65 lbs, so that won't work for STS. I'm...

    Damage Control August!!!

    Yesterday was M1D3 legs and the extended stretch. I did a quick 20 mile ride with DH last night. This morning was M1D2 back and triceps. I'm still busy painting the outside of the house. Diana, are you all finished with your round of STS now? Will you do another round this winter? Have...

    Damage Control August!!!

    This morning was STS W1D1 and yoga abs. Tonight will be GS with DH. Diana, we live along the itty bitty portion of coastline in NH, which is only 13 miles long. It's really rocky and beautiful. We always comment an how lucky we are to live here. We're less than an hour from Boston and...

    Damage Control August!!!

    Lets see, Wednesday was PRS#2, Thursday was a 39 mile bike ride, Friday was XT Legs and PH, Satuday was AB, and today was a 58 mile ride and a two hour kayak. The tide tonight was so strong, especially under one of the bridges. I had a man cut in front of me under the bridge, where even the...

    Damage Control August!!!

    Today was CLB and 100 hip thrust challenge. I used 65 lbs and felt EVERY rep. Tonight will be a short leg workout with DH, as it's raining...again... so no bike ride for him tonight. Diana, if you're interested in EBE2, I can mail it to you after Beth tries it out. I really like some of the...

    Damage Control August!!!

    Saturday was EBE2 weighted legs and a really long kayak paddle. Sunday was a short bike ride in the pouring rain. Today was EBE2 weighted arms and EBE2 peak week cardio (which is like a 26 min. hiit style workout) and XT Burn Sets CBS with DH. Diana, I hope you're back is feeling better. I...
