Buff Badgers Mon 10/17

Morning BB's,

Today will be GS Back, Shoulders, and Biceps, and a 25 Min. 1:1 Interval Run on the treadmill.

Oldest DD had a great time at her first swim meet. She isn't the best 12 year old swimmer out there, but she isn't the worst either. She did have fun. One heat she came in 3rd and had the biggest smile on her face.

I will never play frisbee golf again. It was a beautiful day! The park is on Small Road in New Berlin, just off of Beloit Road. Glad I had shoes build for mud though. I just can't throw a frisbee to save my life. x(

Have a great day!

Hi Everyone!
Taped L&G off Fit TV. Plan to that after some cardio. Not sure which cardio, but I here Christi calling my name.

I chickened out and didn't go back to the health club. I told her I had an appointment and would try to come back, so maybe I will try it again this week. Kids don't have school today (Fall recess), so they are having a couple friends over today. They sure are adjusting well. It was cloudy all day yesterday and rained this morning for a bit. I haven't experienced cloudiness like this here. The temperatures have been very comfortable. It feels great to have windows open.

Good workout everyone!

Good morning,

Today I dragged myself out of bed and did HSC, one of my favorites. I'll get back into my regular more weights-focused workouts tomorrow. I'm wondering if it would be effective to alternate weight and fat loss rotations month-by-month or if that would be counterproductive. Would I lose any strength gains if I focused primarily on cardio for a month? I don't know, I overthink this stuff sometimes.

We had a great time in South Bend. If you watch football at all, you probably saw highlights from the Notre Dame/USC game all day yesterday. It definitely was the best game I've ever seen.

Can those of you from the Milwaukee area recommend a restaurant or something that is easily accessed from Madison and Milwaukee? A friend of mine is going to a conference in Milwaukee next week, and we want to meet somewhere between the two cities. Thanks in advance

Have a great day!

Laurie - I'm with ya on the frisbee golf. Played it once and that was enough for me.

Cynthia - Let us know if you go back to the health club. Think of it this way: if you don't go you'll always wonder "what if?".

Ellen - Unfortunately, not too much for restaurants between Madison and Milwaukee other than fast food. :-( There's a truck stop (name escapes me - BBs help me out!) at the Johnson Creek Outlet Mall exit right next to the mall that serves HUMONGOUS desserts. (Cinnamon rolls as big as a plate!) We stopped there once and it was good. Portion sizes were huge. Other than that, you could look for a place in Delafield or Oconomowoc.

My husband caught the end of the Notre Dame/USC game on TV and he knows I don't follow sports but had to tell me anyway about the game. He said "They'll be talking about this game for a long time." and I said "One of the BBs is at the game!"

For workouts:
On Saturday I did Legs & Glutes thru the explosive lunges 2X and a 1 mile walk. On Sunday I did Imax2 1-5 plus Cardio & Weights heavy wts. upper and abs only followed by 20 minutes practicing Christi Taylor's Totally Cool Step* and a 1 mile walk later in the day. Today I did a premix, Solid Body Sculpting, off the new DVD and went as heavy as I could. All exercises were repeated and it lasted 45 minutes so my muscles feel very well worked out. I did some extra leg and ab work on my own.

*Jill, I think I have the first 20 minutes downpat! I struggled the first time I did this but yesterday it just seemed to flow. I remember struggling with RS the same way and now when I do it I can't understand what was so hard about it.

Have a good Monday, everyone!

I think that restaurant in Johnson Creek is the Pine Cone. It is part of a truck stop, and from what I heard the food is good. There is also a place called Hi-Way Harry's. Have never been there though, so couldn't tell you what it is like.

Yep, thanks Laurie - that's the name (Pine Cone).

I know when my sister was home over the summer, she and my mom stopped off to do some shopping in Delafield and ate at a nice little place. Don't know the name but she said it was comfort-type food.
