Good morning,
Another coffee addict, here. Gotta have two cups before 11am every day. Yesterday I actually slept in and didn't get my 5am coffee until 8:30am. I developed a headache that lasted all day; ugh!
This morning I did MIC followed by CW core. I was not in the mood for it, but I plowed through, and did quite fine. The best thing I can say about this workout, today, is that I won't have to do it again for 2 or 3 weeks. Woohoo. Very effective workout, but can seem like a beast if you're not mentally prepared for it.
Ruth - have you stayed up all night??? Is the stress you're under causing insomnia? That's awful! Or have you been internet shopping all night?
Nancy-who-hates-Mondays - did you do a workout today? I don't think you mention it in your post. I like Mondays because I get the house to myself again, even though I'm supposed to be working in my home office. It's nice being able to sit in a chair for more than three minutes at a time, without being called to come help someone with something!
Carole - what step tape did you pick?
Wendy - that was some workout you did yesterday!! Whew!! I'm not surprised you aren't up to LL today. Viper has the ME lunges and squats in it, doesn't it? I'd say you're good for a week, after that workout!

Oh, hey you just gave me a great idea. I have BodyMax planned for Thursday, but do NOT want to actually do it. I might swap it with the Viper. I'll have to decide as the day gets closer.
Lisa - OOOOHHHH. You've never done MIC before? Ah. Good luck with that. If you feel the need to send out for oxygen part way through the workout, you won't be the first. I really enjoy putting rotations together, and I'm happy to know I've helped. Feel free to modify anything to better suit you; I won't get offended

Oh, and I hope BC is salvageable!! I received a Cathe tape with a corner broken off. I taped the piece back on, and it worked fine. I used it until CK Sales sent me a new tape. I hope you have the same success with BootCamp.
Mariángeles - how is your shoulder injury these days? If you're able to do CTX Upper, it must be doing okay?
Suzanne - your existence these days sounds idealic. I can see why you are willing to work so hard the other nine months of the year.
Jes - you haven't posted in a couple of days; have your family descended on you already? Are you doing okay?
Laurie - you did an awesome workout yesterday. How's the situation with your daughter working out? And how is your MIL?
I have a question, and would appreciate all of your opinions. On Thursday afternoon we are driving to the mountains for a couple of days of downhill skiing. Since we are teaching the 4 year old to ski, I don't anticipate doing much actual skiing myself. We also have plans to have a couple of really special meals while we're there. I have it in the back of my mind to bring my laptop and KPC, and possibly BC and a couple of 8lb dumbells, to workout in my hotel room on Friday and Saturday. We will be coming home on Sunday, which will also be my rest day. My question is: am I being too anal in this? I really enjoy working out, and hate it when I miss a day. Given that I don't anticipate getting much skiing in, and that we're going to be eating a lot, I'd really like to get some good quality workouts in. What would you do? Leave the workouts at home, and forget about it? Bring the workouts and struggle to find time in the day to do them?
Cheers,
Sandra
