Happy Labor Day everyone! :)

Not sure if anyone is around but felt like doing a checkin today so I hope this thread doesn't get lost out there.

I did no workouts at all on Thursday and Friday. DS had his football picture taken on Thursday and I was just exhausted Thursday night to do anything. Slept in on Friday so I didn't get a workout in before leaving for the Dells. I did a few rides at Noah's Ark but the highlight of my day had to be lying in the sun by the wave pool and relaxing. :D It felt great. Unfortunately, I forgot to put suntan lotion on my forehead of all places so I got a nasty burn. :( We got home late Friday after eating dinner and doing a little shopping at the outlet mall in the Dells.

On Saturday I felt like all that resting finally paid off! I did the Wedding video cardio and then proceeded to organize and clean my entire house (well, not the entire house - but I got a lot done!) I was go, go, go all day and didn't get tired at all. On Sunday I did Musclemax Timesaver premix (at 56 min. it's not too much of a timesaver but all I could squeeze in before church). After church it was go, go, go in the yard and we got a lot of weeds and pruning taken care of. DS had a football practice with the Carroll University football players. I felt bad for him. It was 94 degrees without a patch of shade anywhere to be found. They practiced at Schneider Stadium on astroturf which was pretty neat for him.

This morning I did my new Amy Bento - Rumble. I am kind of lukewarm on it. I burned tons of calories and enjoyed the bag work although it was a bit repetitious. The first part was low energy and lacked a fun factor I thought. I would have been very disappointed if the entire workout was like the first part without the bag. I wrote a mini review in this thread if you want to read:

Well, DH wants to paint DS' room today but first I have to run to the store so I better get going.

Talk later!
 
Hi Everyone! Whew, Sue, I´m tired just reading all that you did! How great for DS to have that opportunity, but 94 degrees...that´s hot even for me!

Did some running this past weekend and this am. On Mon my in-laws, DH and I moved our DS into his apt. in Eau Claire. Lots of cleaning to be done...that was my exercise. It was fun to help and see how nice it looked when we were done.

Today is 6 wks since my surgery and I am celebrating by doing LowImpact Circuit tomorrow. I figure that the light weights will be a good place to start. Then on Sat my 2 DDs and I are skating a 1/2 marathon in dululth. I´ve done the full one a couple of times, and am just hoping that I can do the 1/2. I´m only allowed to skate again as of today ;)

Hope everyone is well. Susan, how is the new job going?

Dani, did you get the sleep you were looking forward to?

Hi Karen and Laurie, this is probably a busy week with the kids and sports! Enjoy!
