Hello fellow BB's!

My weekend was pretty nice. Saturday wsa my niece's grad party and it was nice to see everyone. Sunday was quiet with just church and soccer practice. I was so tired Sunday and wanted to take a nap but no one would let me! So I took Ruby for a nice long walk. My workouts did not go as planned all weekend. Saturday I walked for an hour and that was it. Sunday I walked for about an hour and that was it! Today I did Bootcamp and walked. I plan on doing some pilates this afternoon.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

Make it a good Monday! Susan
 
Hi, Susan and others to follow!

Susan - Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing weekend. Sometimes I'd rather go for a long walk than be stuck indoors - especially on those nice days like we had last weekend. Lucky for Ruby you didn't get your nap in. ;-)

The kids and I were running around on Friday back and forth to the vet 2 times and then to Target so I never did get a workout in. We ate lunch at Pizza Hut and I felt so stuffed afterwards so that was partly why I didn't workout. On Saturday I did 4DS Chest/Shoulders/Triceps premix and then Back/Biceps premix. Yesterday was LIC Cardio Blast premix. This morning was B&G Standing Legwork + Abs premix 49 min.

The baseball tournament was postponed from Saturday to Sunday because of soggy fields so they just did a single elimination. DS' team played a good team and lost so only played once yesterday. They did a good job and showed a lot of effort right up to the end - didn't give up like they used to do. On Thursday night their game was cancelled because of thunderstorms. They were winning 3-2 in the 2nd inning before the game was called. The tornado siren actually went off but lightening started before that and everyone mad a mad dash to their cars.

Well everyone must be busy this week. Hopefully doing something FUN and enjoying the gorgeous weather we've been having. :7

Me on the other hand. . . I'm stuck at work and very busy but at least we're making progress on our project. Workouts have been good lately. Taking a 3 day weekend really helped.

Did Cardio Fusion Mixed Cardio premix 41 min. last night. This morning was 4DS Chest/Shoulders/Triceps. I really like this upper body premix. It moves quickly from exercise to exercise so it's very time efficient and really makes me sweat!

Have a great day everyone!

Sue
 
Yes, looks like just you and me, Sue!

Sounds like you are doing some great workouts! Today I was busy all morning and then I got together with my friend and took the kids swimming so my tough workout did not happen. I walked this morning and just squeezed in pilates this evening. That's what I like about pilates, I can pretty much do it anytime,anywhere!

Tomorrow will hopefully be the elliptical in the early morning as I am busy all afternoon!

Have a great night! Susan
 
Susan - I haven't been swimming yet this summer so that sounds like fun. :) Did you get your elliptical in this morning?

Did 4DS Back/Biceps this moring. Hoping to do cardio tonight after DD's softball game. Preordered Amy Bento's Rumble last night. I've passed on quite a few Amy's and Tracy's but because this one uses the heavy bag I had to order it. Just means I can't do this one while the kids are sleeping because I'm sure it'd be too loud.

Dojo was mentally tough last night. We had to do our form all by ourselves in 30 seconds or less. There are 24 movements so if you do 1 movement per second (e.g. outer block) that leaves only 6 seconds thinking time. Doesn't sound too hard but I haven't been to Dojo in a month and I'm still learning the sequence. DH and I took over a minute. DS and DD did it within 30 seconds. }( Do you think it's age-related? :+

Have a good day!

Sue
 
HI there!

Yes, I did get on the elliptical this morning! I did Extreme Heart Rate for 45mn. Tough but fun!

I had to take our DS in for a CT scan today. She has been having awful headaches for about 3 months. They put her through 2 rounds of antibiotic but it didn't help at all. They think she may just be blocked somewhere. So I should hear in a couple days what is causing the headaches.

Tomorrow I have Circuit Max scheduled. I looked over Cathe's July rotation and think I might start it next Monday!

Sue, good job with Dojo last night! Sounds like those kids of yours are pretty good! They must have quicker reflexes maybe?;-) I bet the next time you do it you'll beat them!

Have a good Thursday! Susan
 
Good Morning all,

Our computer quit working so I didn't have access to any other one--thus the reason for not posting. We have one we are borrowing for now. The computer guy couldn't figure out what was wrong so it maybe a while before we get one.

On Mon. I did PS upper body and abs. Tue. I went on a 40 mile tandem ride with DH. Wed. I did PS legs and today I need to do cardio, probably CC on the bike. I did try a kettlebell workout on Sat. and my legs still hurt on Tue. It really sneaks up on you.

Susan, glad you had an enjoyable weekend. You got some swimming in and your workouts. Hope they find out what is causing DS headaches. I'll have to check Cathe's July rotation.

Sue, it is amazing how kids can get things and remember them so much better. I hope you like Amy's bag workout. You will have to let us know when you get it. I really like 4DS workouts and the music. To bad DS didn't win another game this season but it is great they just don't give up like they had been.

Enjoy your day. I was hoping to get together with Laurie, but I haven't heard from her.
 
Susan - So many things cause headaches it seems. I hope the doctors figure out what's causing your DD's and get them to stop.

Karen - Good to hear from you. I thought you were away visiting relatives or something. Hope your computer has something easy and cheap to fix. Good workouts this week - as usual :). I love the PS series even though some people think it's "dated". PS Legs especially is a killer workout.

Didn't do cardio last night so went for a 3 mile jog/walk this morning outside. It was 71 and muggy at 5:00 a.m. I don't mind though. Easier to get my butt outside when it's like that vs. 50 and cloudy. DS plays his game tonight at Helfaer Field right outside Miller Park. All the families are tailgating before the game so it should be a good time. DS' lat muscle is hurting though so I don't know if he'll be able to play catcher. The coach called last night to find out how he's feeling. He's feeling better but not 100%.

We were given some bad news about a co-worker and friend today. :-( He was told his cancer is now terminal. We are sworn to secrecy not to tell anyone outside the dept. but I figure you guys are okay. I am in shock and feeling ready to cry at any moment sitting her at my desk. He is divorced so it's just him and his 3 girls - 11, 13 and 16. The doctors told him to pray for a miracle so I'm praying.

Sue
 
Sue, sorry about your co-worker, how sad. I will pray for a healing. Maybe he will beat the odds against him. Have fun at the game tonight. It sounds like fun. The reason I tried PS again was becasue it kept coming up on the forumn. They were o.k. I think she has many better workouts-at least for what I like. Hope DS lat is feeling better. What happened that he hurt it?
 
Karen - I think DS pulled a muscle while throwing. As catcher, he has to make that long 80 ft. throw to 2nd base when a guy tries to steal. It's a long throw for an 11 year old so I think that's how he did it. It was actually hurting during Monday's game but he didn't say anything to anybody until afterwards.

Sue
 
Hi!

Karen, good to see you back but sorry to hear about your computer! Hope it is an easy fix and not a costly one!

Sue, I too am sorry to hear about your co-worker. My DH is going through the same thing at work and it's not easy. I also hope DS heals quickly. If he plays tonight he could aggravate worse...

Well, I have Cicuit Max on my schedule and then I realized I have to mow lawn, do yard work, clean up the garage, as well as other stuff. I am going to go visit my friends for the weekend so there are things I want/need to get done before I go. It'll be great to get away for some "me" time this weekend. So, after I get all that junk done, I'll see how I am doing! I too was up early walking Ruby and it was already muggy!

Well, I better go mow before the rain hits!

Bye for now- Susan
