Hi again everybody,
I Just finished up my workout, StepBlast, and I'm sooooo looking forward to bed tonight. Yes, I did have to pry myself off the couch again, but I perked up once I got downstairs. I wanted you all to know that I'm doing pretty good on my eating with this challenge, BUT, yesterday I had my board meeting and one of the members had his wife bake a rhubard pie for us. We had been talking about rhubarb pie a few meetings back and how much we really liked it, SO he had his wife bake us a special pie. It was a real treat, because normally we have just coffee and water during our meetings. I got some looks when I said "no thanks", so I caved and had a very small piece. It tasted fabulous!!!!!! It wasn't a planned cheat, but I felt his wife went out of her way to treat us, and it would have been hurtful to say no
.
Rachel-I had to laugh when you were talking about the scoulding looks you sometimes get from your DH. I get the same looks, as though I am intentionally trying to injure myself. DH is always looking at my heavy weights saying "don't hurt yourself". Sometimes I think he is a little intimidated with the weights I'm lifting (but of course he would never admit that).
Chrissy-I think the Plyo Leg workout will be right up my alley!! I haven't previewed the workout yet, but I do love all forms of jumping. I have those blasted sit and stands scheduled for tomorrow's workout (disc 20). I hope they don't rear their ugly little head in Meso 3!!! I can tolerate almost any leg exercise except for those. I do them, but it is not a pretty sight with me trying to get my butt off that chair. lol!!
Cendrine-Are you on your rest week this week, or is it next week? Did you decide to actually rest, or are you going to try to do cardio each day. I still have 2 1/2 weeks to go before rest week, but I'm already planning on what I will or will not do during that week. I'm hoping I will be content with outdoor activities like tennis, walking and bike rides, but my Cathe dvd's always seem to call me back. My DH has been taking DS to all of his practices, and he has been cooking meals since he is on layoff, and that has helped me immensely. It's giving me a little extra time to relax when I get home at night.
Gayle-Way to go on saying NO to the ice cream and cake. I wish I did that with the rhubard pie, but I ate really well today and I feel good with that. I need a little more of your determination.
Hi Jo-I'm sure you will post after I have gone to bed, so enjoy your evening!!
Kim-That is so good to know the last week of Meso 2 is a little easier! I have given it my all this last week, and I wasn't sure I could up the intensity any more for next week. As Gayle says, One Day at a Time!!!! That is great news about your DS. I can just picture him doing the arm pump behind the dr's back. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
HI Julie-Hope you day is going well!
Well, It's time for me to shower and hit the bed. We will talk tomorrow! Enjoy your evening!!!
