2011 NEW YEAR'S STS CHALLENGERS-WEEK OF 1/23

Hello all. Yesterday was a rest day for me. I cannot seem to workout 7 days in a row ion STS. I wanted to do cardio and then take a rest day on Sat. b/c it is my baby brother's engagement party, but I just did not feel up to it. On deck for tonight, Disc 12!!!!!!

How is everyone doing? We got walloped with about 16 inches of snow before the storm ended in the a.m. i am so sick of the white stuff. Thank God February is almost here. Here's to hoping spring comes early!

I will bbl for personals!

Morning Ladies,

We're on our third snow day here! Yesterday was Disc 20 (legs) and weights and plates abs. After that a "snow walk" with the kids and shovelmax. Afterwards I felt like eating the house!:eek: Today I'm hoping to squeeze in some cardio if the kids will cooperate.:D

Kristin, 16 inches?! We only got about half that, but it's snowing again right now. I am in Northern VA. Where are you again? Are you a teacher? I haven't minded taking my rest days as much while on STS. Normally I dread them but they feel good these days.;)

Cynthia, that's the worst not being able to get into a workout. IMax 2 was a good fix!

Sherry, I'm envious of all your painting! Although I don't know how you do it with upper body DOMS! Sounds like perfect timing for your rest week ahead!

Enjoy your day everyone!:D

Hi Girls.

Sorry I went MIA. Y'day was a bad day with the storm that rolled in on wednesday night. Got waaay more then we bargained for. :eek: Tried to get to work but that didn't work out as planned. Whole day was just a big joke. :rolleyes: Atleast I got my w/o in before the craziness ensued though...Week 4/Disc 4 + abs from BBC + some shoveling.

This morning was BBL Bum Bum/ half of 6w6p w/o # 2/ BBL High & Tight Ankle Wieght work-Gonna feel this one tmrw for sure! :eek:

Tomorrow's plan is week 4/disc 5 + a short cardio + abs.

My brain is fried and I am very tired. Not up for personals right now. Sorry girls. Maybe later tho and definitely this weekend! :)
 
Hey Wendy~ it's been quiet here all week. Seems many of us got hit by the snow so maybe that's why? Sorry for your bad day! Sounds like you've had (and have) some great workouts planned!

I managed to squeeze in some cardio late this afternoon. Step Blast Premix: Combos 1, 2, and 3. Haven't done that in ages (or many times at all) but it was a good one to get me going since I was a little drained.:eek::confused:

Have a restful night!

Woo hoo! Meso 1 completed!!! Yea, baby! I have to say I was nervous about getting and doing STS, because I have never really followed a rotation other than 4 DS, which even then I didn't do the discs in any particular order. After finishing this first 4 weeks, I have to say, it's been pretty easy to follow and it has kept me disciplined. I am loving this series. The leg workouts are my favorites so far. I am looking forward to the rest week and then starting Meso 2!

So tomorrow night is my baby bro's engagement party. He is 27 and yet I have such a hard time accepting that he is a grown up, now getting married. I am six years older than him, but when my mom went back to work, I was like his 2nd mom and I don't know, I am just having these feelings about my little Johnny, lol. Weird, huh?

Julie- nice workout! I live on Long Island and I am a teacher. I hear you on the rest days. I don't feel guilty at all.

Wendy- yesterday was just an ick day for me too. I am sick of snow!

Sherry- I had the same thing about a year ago, when I started BM2, I could do 15 on one arm, but not the other. I started working the weaker arm first and eventually that helped, believe it or not.

Cynthia- you can never go wrong with IMAX 2.

Okay guy, I am beat. BB tomorrow.

Kristin
 
Yes, it's midnight and I'm posting!

I'm waiting for my parents to arrive. They got a later start than expected to drive up for the weekend. Somehow, the workout just isn't getting done, and I'm getting desperate to finish Meso 1. Perhaps I can get in D11 tomorrow and D12 Sunday.

Glad all of you got your workouts in today! See you tomorrow!
 
Good Morning Ladies.

Well, after feeling like heck y'day, I seem to be fine today. IDK what was up with that but I'm happy it's over!:)

Today's w/o will be week 4/disc 5 plus cardio and abs. I am thinking the likes of LIS step though I may shorten it up a bit if it runs over 30 mins.

Sherry:: Enjoy having your parents for the weekend. You said they will be helping you paint, right? Hope you get D11/12 done this weekend!

Kristin:: Congrats to your baby brother for getting engaged! My sister is 6 years old then me and was a big help to my mom when I was born. Yay for completing meso 1. I am not even technically halfway through yet! :eek:

Julie:: I enjoy SB but barely use it these days since there are so many other step work outs to choose from.

Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday!:)
 
Good morning!

My parents arrived about 12:30 last night. Then, up at 5:30 to make it to a 7:00 soccer game with DD. Thankful for the 4 wheel drive! Shoveled 3" from over night when we got home. Still need to go get the paint for the family room. Debating where my workout (D11) fits into today's schedule. Starting to hear people stirring upstairs (my folks and DS) so might need to hold off a bit longer. Fortunately my parents will help out while they are here, dad with painting and mom altering DD's dress for her party tonight. Painting needs to be done by tonight because new sectional arrives tomorrow! (The old one is literally hanging together by threads).

BBL, I hope. Will get to personals then. Have a great day!
 
Just finished MMA Fusion and yoga inspired abs. i really liked YI abs, I didn't think I would. My core is all fired up now.

I have midterms to grade, wii to play with my little guys and then baby bro's engagement party.

sherry- did you get disc 1 done today?

Wendy- Ahh, the six month rotation. I have to say though, sticking to teh rotation has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. I actually like not having to think about hwat I am doing (on STS days anyway).

All right, back to work for me!

Kristin
 
Morning Ladies!

Is this the day we start over??:confused: Can't remember if it's Sun. or Mon.

Yesterday was Disc 21 for me (Back and Biceps) plus I did the yoga inspired abs as well. It felt so good I restarted it and stopped at the planks. That was enough.:p:D

Kristin, I just ordered MMA Fusion (took advantage of the sale:cool:). How do you like it compared to MMA Boxing? I know we both love that one. How was the engagement party? My daughter plays the mommy role with my little ones and it warms my heart.:)

Sherry, enjoy having your parents there! They sound like my parents, helping around the house when they visit. Makes me miss them.:( Did you finish the painting? I won't ask about Disc 11.;)

Wendy, glad you are better! I love LIS.:)

I have some serious cardio on tap for today. I went way over yesterday in cals! One more week 'til my rest week and I can't wait! I am loving this rotation. I don't know if I could ever go back to not being told what to do, LOL!

Have a great Sunday!

Julie
 
Morning Ladies.

Today's w/o plan is week 4/disc 6, CTX or 4DS kickboxing plus abs.

Julie:: You are more then half way through your rotation! Excellent! How do you like Meso 2 as compared to Meso 1? IKWYM about eating too much. I did that myself on Friday. :eek: Did much better y'day though and plan to keep it that way today as well!

Krisitin:: I call myself the Exercise ADD Queen b/c I have a very hard time sticking to a rotation/plan when it comes to exercise. I've only actually completed a very minimal amount of "rotations" in the 8 years I've been exercising but I plan on adding STS to that list! I think I can handle STS because I can do what I want for cardio and abs. Keeps my ADD in check. ;) I figure if I can stick with the STS 6.5 month rotation then I can do anything! LOL

Sherry:: Hope you are enjoying the time with your parents! How far did they have to travel to get to you? My sister used to live a 5-6 hour car ride away. I would take the trip with my mom a couple times a year for the weeekend to visit. Coming home was always seemed like a longer ride then going there for some reason.

Hope everyone has a great day!
