Yesterday was a rest day. I went to a pro-education rally at my local high school. It was great. I needed the rest day anyway. Tonight's workout will be Disc 18, back and biceps. According to the workout card, my BB needs to be 54 # for BB rows and 35# for bicep curls. Oh my!
I have so much going on at work today. I hope I remember to to sign up for the RT!

Good Morning.
This morning was Disc 8 followed by a 2.5 min prone plank. That's all the ab work I had time for today. Got a late start.
So the DOMS from S90 Legs started last night before 7:30pm! I thought I'd be crippled by now but it didn't get any worse over night and it's only a specific area of my glutes that hurt so it's actually far less painful then the Disc 9 DOMS I had. Good thing too cause I don't think I could've withstood another 3 days of such pain!
I am getting out of work an hour early today (3:30) because DH and I are heading down to the casinos for the long weekend. It'll be lots of fun. Always is. We go several times a year if we can. That being said, I won't be around again after today until Monday evening most likely. I am bringing my IPOD TOUCH with me. It's loaded up with some good no equipment Cathe cardios that I can do while I'm there. I usually bring my portable DVD player or laptop with me plus dvds. It'll be so nice not to have to carry all of that junk now. Just my ipod and the cable to hook it up to the television in our room. YAY!
Kristin:: 35# BB for bicep curls. That's 17.5 pounds per arm. I actually was able to curl that using DB's back in my P90X days. I worked my way up to it! It was uber tough but I could do it so I'll bet you can too!!!
Sherry:: I will get tri DOMS. It can really get in the way of simple every day movements that you don't think utilize tri's that much! Have fun functioning today! LOL The Supreme 90 work outs are all 30-45 minutes in length from what I understand so yes, they are all pretty short. Sorry about the enable...I can try to take it back if you want!
BBL maybe. If not, have a great weekend everyone!

Today was Disc 9. It seemed to go by fast even though I was sweating profusely. LOL Tomorrow is HIIT 40/20 and Yoga-Inspired Abs.
Julie - A big hug to you. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
Sherry - Thank you! It really helps that I love doing it, so I manage to carve out time just for that. Although, sometimes it feels like I am operating on very little sleep.
Did anyone sign up for the Glasboro roadtrip?
Have a great weekend everyone!

Okay, disc 18 done!!! My biceps are pumped boy1 I feel like I have Popeye arms right now, lol.
So I got in! I am going to the NJ RT! So excited. It is going to be a blast. i was so nervous last year, being my first year and not knowing anyone. this year I know a few people, plus a friend of mine is going with me. She got into Cathe videos after I told ehr about the last road trip. This will be a blast!
JonStephMom- I have to get the Hiit dvd. I am missing that and circuit blast, then I will have all the shock cardio collection.
Wendy- I always bring my laptop and Cateh dvds, like Travel Fit or kickboxing. Even if the hotel claims there is a dvd player in the room, lol. Have fun and good luck BTW- I did the 35 # BB and it burned, but I was able to complete the sets in good form. Weird how for some of the exercises, the weight seems too heavy, but then most of the time it is just right. Maybe I did something wrong during the 1RM testing.
Sherry- I am finding the chest, shoulders, tris dvds to be the most challenging and the most DOMS afterward. Although, I did have leg DOMS the other day, but not nearly as bad as my pecs and shoulders.
Okay, well I am spent!
good night,
Kristin

Hi all!
It's late, but workout finally done! Needed to switch things up a bit, so did D18 Back and Biceps today. Will do legs tomorrow (D17), then D19 for CST on Sunday. I'm traveling for work some next week so changing things a bit so I get all the workouts in. Felt really good tonight and pushed muscles 'til they couldn't do anymore.
The weight loss competition includes a recommended diet plan as well as exercise recommendations, all seem reasonable. Need to look at the diet plan again to make sure it includes enough protein. If you want to take a look at it, google bcbs michigan win by losing.
Wendy - Enjoy your weekend! Sounds like fun. And, thanks to your enabling, I picked up Supreme90 at Walgreens on the way home. Now, when I'll get a chance to take a look at it . . .
LaDonna - I know what you mean about sleep - sometimes that's what has to go in order to get everything done.
Kristin - Yeah about the RT! (I'm still holding out for Chicago.) I did 45# for barbell rows, which seemed a bit easy. I probably could have gone more. Then, for barbell curls, I had to drop it down to 30# because just couldn't get the left arm to help at 35#. The arm difference really showed on the curls, where the right arm can do 15# with no problem, but 12# tasks the left arm tremendously. Those backoff sets really get the shakes. And yes, CST DOMS are the worst.
Heading to bed. Biceps completely done for the day. See ya all tomorrow!

Sherry- great job on d17! I am loving the trisets. My HR stays up the whole time, so even though it is not cardio, I feel I am still getting a cardio aspect out of it. I also love that by the end my legs are fried, but the workout itself is fast and short.
Yesterday's workout was 4 DS step only premix and the ab work. It wasa good sweat. Today will be another cardio, but it is up in the air right now.
Wendy- hope you are enjoying yourself!

Hi everyone!
Well, this evening's STS workout was pre-empted by ShovelMax. About 5" of the white stuff so far and it's still coming down. Ice/Sleet is supposed to be coming near the tail end. So not looking forward to the drive to the airport or the flight delay. At least I'll be heading south where it's warmer. Legs still have DOMS from last night's wo. Not bad as long as I'm moving, but starting to move (like after I've been sitting on front of the computer), it's OUCH!
Kristin - I totally agree that the leg work is practically a cardio workout. What a great workout you had today, and a nice evening planned for the family. Wii nights are fun, even when they get older.
Time to go finish laundry and pack. See ya all tomorrow.

Woke up to more snow!!! It is really out of hand with all this snow! I am so sick to death of it. My Christmas lights are STILL UP because we cannot take them down with the snow and ice, lol.
I am on my own this week. DH had to go away for work. Luckily I am off, otherwise it would be 10 X harder to manage without him.
Today's workout will be disc 19. i am a bit nervous about the weights my wo card has for me to lift. for bench press i am supposed to go up to a 50 # BB. We shall see. . .
Sherry- hopefully the delay won't be so bad. I don't know where you live, but my husband's flight (out of JFK) is still running on time.

I slept in this morning since there is no school today and just got done with Disc 10. I am actually not sorry to be done with all those push-ups. LOL Tomorrow is Athletic Step and Weight-and-Plate Abs.
Sherry & Kristin - Yuck! More snow. A cold front came through here in Kansas but the skies are clear. All our snow finally melted last week.
Julie - You will beat it. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Today I am cleaning bathrooms. Double yuck! Off to do it. Have a great day everyone!

Disc 19 done. My tris and pecs are fried. Some weights on the wo card i just could not do with good form. Incline bench press called for 50 #, I struggled with 45 #. Cross body kickbacks called for 12#, I used 10 until the last set and then I did 5 reps to failure with 12 #. What is up with that? Anyone else having this type of issue? Maybe when I did teh 1 RM testing, I was too ambitious? I am finding this meso 2 chest, shoulders, tris discs to be the hardest of the set.
Sherry- At least you found out your flight was cancelled before getting all the way to the airport. Have I mentioned how sick of snow I am? LOL.
JonStephMom- nice job on disc 10. not sick of push-ups? Lol. Not me. I looked at the workout card for next week and saw they crept back in Meso 2 at the end, ugh! We'll see how many I can get through now. I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised. have fun with the bathrooms. That is the one room in the house I hate to clean!
Wendy- Are you back yet?
