Hi Again! Gin - Sorry to hear about the K position situation. Hopefully the teacher can put in a good word for you. Glad you liked my dinner suggestions. Peppered Scallops: 2 tablespoons butter 2 garlic cloves 3 scallions 2 lbs. sea scallops 1 red bell pepper 1 yellow bell...

Not Deanie, but we both put the rotation together. Yes, you can sub KPC for Cardio Kicks. As for yoga and pilates: I basically did power yoga (only did Yoga X a few times - there are much better yoga practices out there): Eoin Finn's Power Yoga for Happiness, Baron Baptiste's Next...

Good Morning Ladies (almost afternoon!) I did Amy Bento's In the Ring this morning. It's kickboxing with some hi lo and medicine ball intervals. It's about 77 mins. but I ran out of time and didn't get to do Combos 3 and 4 combined with the medicine ball. It was a good workout. I burned...

Hi Catherine! I don't use puzzle mats but I've seen them at Home Depot. I haven't really heard anyone complain about them. Anyone who has them seems to like them. There are plenty of threads on them if you do a search. I do plan on getting a floor like Cathe's. I checked out stage step...

I did this one this morning for the first time and I liked it. I have never done Amy's kickbox before. I liked the choreography but it didn't flow quite right for me. My HR didn't get up as high as I would like but I'm sure that's because I was still learning the combos. I think once I learn...

of Meso 3 legs. Marcy

Hi Gin! Yes, I'm much relieved. If I get a closing date this week, I'll give notice on Friday but at the snail's pace things have been going, I don't know if that's going to happen. I guess I missed the ??s. I guess Cathe has such a big following, she probably doesn't need to send her...

Hi Again! Deanie - I never stripped the paint off furniture but I did strip about 7 layers of paint off my door frame in my old house. It came off pretty easily and DH and I were really proud of ourselves when we were finished. It didn't take too long and it looked so much better. You...

Thanks, Catherine. All I know is I'm very happy when doing yoga. It feels good to work out barefoot and not to have to drag out any equipment and then put it all away. I love bodyweight exercises, flexibility training and balance work and yoga's got all of it. Joanne - I would defintely...

Hi Everyone! Today I did Mark Blanchard's Foundation. It was even tougher than yesterday. Lots of balancing on one leg and chaturangas. Lots of holds in chaturanga so I was definitely working my upper body. I even tried kicking back into chaturanga from crane (not a pretty sight!) Did...

Good Morning Ladies! I got great news as I was leaving work yesterday. My buyer is closing on Thursday! Hallelujah! I think I might actually be moving now. DH surprised me last night with Chinese so I didn't have to cook. Had Wonton soup, pork fried rice and spare ribs (not the most...

Gin - Nothing special tonight. DH's bday is the 20th. We'll probably go out to dinner over the weekend. Our title report came back but still no answers on closing. It hasn't been a stress-free bday:-( I have a feeling we're not going to be closing on the date we want but I can't even...

Thanks, Deanie! I think you skipped over the earlier thread that Gin started. Had lunch with my friend. Had fettucine with shrimp and crab meat with baby spinach in a light tomato cream sauce and, of course, cheesecake (gulp!) Deanie - You're so lucky to have the day off. Did you have...

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes. Marcy

Good Afternoon Chinsters! Today I started a yoga/cardio rotation. I did Mark Blanchard's Culmination today. Tough practice - very heavy on standing work. Did headstand for a second or two, tried to do handstand in the middle of the room (forget about it!). There was a pose I hadn't done...

Good Morning Ladies! Where's Deanie?? Not like her not to post before me! Today was Mark Blanchard's Culmination - the final one in the Sedona series. First time doing this one. It was tough but I got through it. Did headstand very briefly; kicked up into handstand in the middle of...

I agree. This workout was great. I had so much fun. I didn't find him hard to follow. Loved the Follow the Leader (Soca). Even the cooldown was fun and had good ab work at the end. Marcy

Good Morning! I got in SM1 Friday night. It felt so good. Yesterday was a rest day. I'm hoping to maybe do some kickboxing later. Had a busy day yesterday food shopping, got some packing tape, did some more throwouts. Will be packing some more today. I'm not sore anymore. I'll be...

Gin - I also log all my workouts; take my measurements (usually every month) - really should do it tonight; didn't take April's yet (although I'm probably scared to know the results.) I'm 1.5 lbs more than last month for starters. Enjoy the wedding and DS tomorrow. Deanie - Glad your...
