Anybody doing August 2004 Rotation?

hi again Gayle now is 11:49 AM in my country and I have done yet Body Max. It has been tough but not as the first time I did it. Let see if I have energy to do something more. Why not the bootcamp cardio and lower body premix? It is only 34 minutes and it is so much fun. Anyway I have to do 1 hour in my stationary bike. Oh no, so much loved workouts and so many hours each day. Have a nice day.

Maria-You are right...how to fit in all the workouts we love into such a short day?!? I love Boot Camp too. I just never thought working out could be so much fun. I go to bed every night excited about what's coming in the morning. This rotation has been so much fun. For over 2 months, I've been trying to get up a bit earlier, like at 4:30am so I can get working out by 4:45, but it just hadn't happened. This entire week, I've hit that time because of how excited I am about doing this rotation. I've never actually done a rotation that Cathe put together, just my own and even those I quit on after 1 1/2 weeks. I am going to finish this one too!

My legs are feeling really strong and it's only week 2 of this rotation. I have slimmed them down and the muscle definition is starting to show!

This morning was IMax 2 and 10 minutes from Ab Hits. I finished the IMax 2 and did a 12 min ab from Ab Hits. I am surprised, but my legs are not as sore as I thought they'd be after all those lunges yesterday! Imagine that. Next time I will srupass 160.

I hope you were able to get in that Boot Camp portions you mentioned! Let me know how you made out!

Have a great day!
Gayle

It must be cute the 25 morning under the tree opening the gifts.No gift for me untill the coming of the reyes magos. Today for me is PUB and Imax extreme. I am not too much tired. Feliz navidad.

Maria-Happy Holidays, and thanks for posting here on a daily basis about our August Rotation. It's really helped me stick with the rotation.

For me, I got up early and did HSTA and Ab Hits. I haven't done HSTA in ages and forgot just how hard it is. It caught me off guard at first, but I trudged thru it and I am SO glad I did.

This rotation is doing well for me. I weighed in last night (at Weight Watchers) and I've lost 1.6 pounds since last week. I've got about 6 or 7 more pounds and I will be at my personal goal weight again (I gained a bit of weight during a 2 week vacation and I'm still working it off).

Anyway, enjoy your night and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Gayle
 
Happy Cristhmas day Gayle. Do you have lot of gifts of Santa ? Today is KPC and learner legs for me. When I will finish this rotation (I am in the week 4) I will stay posting here to help you. Have a great Cristhmas day.

Hi, Maria. Sorry for being MIA the last few days. It's CRAZY around my house with 2 young boys and LOTS of Christmas gifts. I hope your holiday was delightful.

Good for you for finishing this rotation. Any idea what you will be doing next?

I have loved having somebody to check in with on this rotation and the rotation (as much as I've done so far) has given me great results. I will be taking a short break from weights for a while, I am afraid. I am having hand surgery done tomorrow afternoon to remove a cyst in the top part of my hand. I don't know when I'll be able to lift with weights again. I am hoping a week or 2 at the MOST. I am planning on continuing Cathe's cardios, but if the swinging of my hand gets to be too much, I have a stationary bike and a treadmill that I can use instead.

When my hand is healed and the Doc says it's okay, I am planning on doing the August Rotation again! I loved it so much. Of course, if Hardcore comes before that, then I will be switching to that.

Thanks again!

Gayle
 
Hi Gayle, don't worry. The most important thing is your health. I had an injury in my back and trapezius not too much time ago and, look at me now, I have done my first Cathe's rotation and planing start and endurance upper body rotation. I was afraid too and I thought I won't be able to lift weights again. The pain during the first days was intense and I decided not working out. My body neeed a rest. After when I was a little better I started again doing BS/BF dvd and the HSC without the weight segments.I know that my injury is not a surgery but try to be positive.You will be lifting weights soon. I can understand your frustration and fear before a surgery. If you want when you will be OK I can do the august rotation again.It is going to be great do this rotation again with you from start to finish.I will ask you tomorrow about the results of your surgery.My prayers are with you. With my best wishes .

Thanks, Maria. That is very kind of you. Actually, I am not worried about the surgery itself. It's a 20 minute procedure, but he needs to put me under because of the delicate hand and finger tendons there. He prescribed 3 meds for me, each one stronger than the other in case I need it for the pain, but I don't like taking anything. I am actually just worried about falling into my old unhealthy habits for as long as he puts me out of commission. I am really going to try to do at least my treadmill for a nice walk even if I can't do anything else.

I will keep you posted and will check in tomorrow night sometime.

Gayle
 
Hi Gayle, How are you after the surgery?. I want to asked it now because there is 6 hours of difference between USA and Spain and when you come back home after the surgery I will be sleeping. I understand your worry.3 strong meds can help you with the pain but are bad for your stomach.It not seems a difficult surgery and I am sure you are in the best hands.When you will feel the temptation to come back into your unhealthy habits remenber you can do everything you want. If you fall in the tempation don't feel culpable.It is only calories and pounds. You can do bad one day and the best the next. Each day is a opportunity to be the best we can.I hope you will be Ok soon.You know I will be here if you need support.

Maira-
I am so sorry for not replying sooner. Since my surgery on Wednesday, I've bene laying low and trying to take it easy. I am recovering, and this morning seems to be the first day that the swelling is starting to subside. I am pretty bruised, but I feel fine. I haven't worked out, per doctor's orders, since WEdnesday, and of course that means I haven't eaten really well either. So I am very anxious to get back into the swing of things.

I saw Cathe's update about Hardcore, so it looks like I may get a wonderful brithday present in Feb (feb 8 is my day). LOL. I think I will do a varied workout routine for January until the release and hopefully Cathe will have a great rotation ready for Hardcore.

Thanks for all the support during the August Rotation. I really loved it and will definitely do that one again soon.

Happy New Year!

Gayle
 
Happy to know you feel fine Gayle.I have seen the update too.It is a fantastic new. I have to remenber the day of your birthday to wish you a happy happy birthday. I am sure you will be Ok in that day and ready to sweat. Happy new year.The best wishes of your spanish friend.

I was going to try the January rotation, but I've changed my mind and will be starting the August rotation on Monday. I'm not sure if I'll check in everyday though.
