Lisa-hugs to you and your family I know it had to be hard for him DH took our dog to be put to sleep and it was the first time I had ever seen him cry about a pet.
 
Good Evening,

The gym I go to has two locations one on the eastside where I work and one on the westside where I live and that is the one I go to most of the time but tonite I decided to go to the east side and I didn't really like that one but I did my 30 mins on the elliptical.
 
Lisa, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's always hard.

Thank you for all the get well wishes -- I did feel better today, but still not 100%, so we took it easier with one of the beginner downloads I got. Basic step and Upper Body Sculpt. And we were able to find a step on a local for sale list! It was a set that looks just like Cathe's club step and high step. It came with plenty of risers, so I used the club step and dd used the high step and modified a bit. It was really nice to do this workout at 8 inches instead of 14!
 
Just finished HR UB premix and the Intensity Hiit-Lo. I am trying to keep up with the rotation. Hugs to Lisa, get well vibes to Becky and waves to the rest of the crew.

Good Morning,

I went to the gym and did the elliptical and then I came home and did Med Ball Abs and the TBS #1. Going to clean house today and already almost done with the laundry.

Murphy-have a good day.

Becky-I bow down to you I still don't use my step with risers.
 
Hi girls! We are home! Kids had a ball! I don't do so well on the rides anymore, must be an age thing? Today I did Intensity, hi/lo HIIT and BC. Lisa, I'm so sorry about Yoshi, thinking of you. Becky, you did step on 14 inches?! How? I would drop dead! I only do 6 inches! If I do it at all! Roxie, I just finished all my laundry, such a chore! Murphy, good job with the rotation! I have only tried one once, one of Fitness Freaks. Ronne should be back soon. Jody, I thought of you when I saw all the Amish people at Cedar point this week! Have another grad party today, hope the cake is better than last weeks! Mary
 
Hi everyone, taking the day off as my w/o room is a mess. I've pulled everything in the basement and cleaning carpets. DH room is the worst, I'm hopeful that this will work. then I get to organize my w/o space again. We are doing OK. Feel at peace with it all, sad but at peace.

Mary, don't eat too much cake. I must admit I broke down and bought me some ice cream yesterday as a comfort measure. Glad you had a good time.

Murphy, I'd love to do a rotation, I just don't have the discipline for it anymore. Again my hat is off to you.

Becky, I do step, I only do 6". I try 8" on some of the low impact but it's a bit too much and I quit trying to be superwoman.

Roxie, well, at least you checked out that gym, now you know. I did laundry-max yesterday (4 loads), today cleaning carpet-max :)

Jody, saw a belly dancer on our news show yesterday, thought of you and boy your body was much more rocking than hers!

Welcome back soon Ronne.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, they were comforting. I know I'll still have moments of missing her but I'm glad that I don't have to see her suffer. For some reason it isn't hitting me as hard as my dear Maddy did. Maybe because my bond with Maddy was stronger, she was a dog (they are an in your face kind of animal vs a cat), maybe because I'm learning with each loss and accepting of life and death. Gosh I feel like I'm getting so old with all the experiences I've had! And heck I'll admit it, maybe it's the anti-depressants...I've been saving them for this loss! Hugs!
 
I did 4DS dbl cardio LIS and HIS pm. I still get bumble footed on the third combo of HIS.
Mary, I'm glad you all had fun. I've found I can't do the rides in as rapid succession as I used to be able to do them, it starts to feel icky.
Lisa, have fun cleaning and organizing. I freecycled my old big dining room table that I had today. My downstairs looks much nicer with the smaller one that I got with my desk a few weeks ago. More Yoshi hugs, too
Anyone watch so you think you can dance? A west palm beach girl made it on the show and belly dancer from las vegas. I might watch it. Thanks for the compliment Lisa.
Becky, score on the two steps!
Roxie, as always good job on getting your workouts in.
Murphy, I see, the June rotation had a lot of 4ds. good job. You can see that you inspired me to pull my 4ds out.
 
LOL! I only had one step and it was the old style high step that The Firm used to sell. It is a square wooden bench that is 14 inches tall. You can't make it any lower, or believe me, I would have! My daughter was using the coffee table, so we were just mess. And yeah, we really felt it the next day, so we won't be using the tall box for anything any time soon!

But honestly, I found Slide and Glide to be much much tougher than what we did on the step. I'm kinda scared of LIS now!
