Finally!!! I did some chinups today
The last time I did any chinups was way back in Meso2 whenever that was. Anyway I did Lauren Brooks kb workout and the chinups were done durning the rest interval of the first 4 rounds. I did 5/5/5/4. Not too bad. I am still being careful with my foot. It seems better. But there is still pain at times. I am sure age has nothing to do with the slow healing I may try Low Max or some other low impact step tomorrow.
Linda, are ya loving the doms?
Judi, are you still at the lake?

I'll be lucky if I can walk tomorrow!
Anyway, I drove 20 minutes to meet & train my client, from there drove 50 minutes, to the beach to meet my family, then drove kids from the beach 30 minutes to go to a friends birthday party, then 30 minutes back to clients house for a graduation party, now I am finally back home. So I will check in tomorrow and let you know Disc 3- Legs went, IF I can walk as far as the computer that is!

Linda, I had doms for 4 days after disc 3 It put a real hurting on me
OK, tomorrow is the day I try low impact step again. Cross your fingers. The foot seems better. The toes are numb, but not painful like they were. There are occasional pains/discomfort but not bad. I promise one day I will stop talking about my foot!
Oh and I 've got some back doms from the chins and hammie/buttock doms from the kettlebells.

I did LM today up to blast #5- I hate that one anyway. That was about 50 mins with the stretch I added on. Foot seemed ok during the workout. Some discomfort, but no real stinging and burning, so hopefully that's a good sign. I guess I'll have to see how it does later.
So what are you ladies up to today?

Holy cow Linda, you did those 1 leg elevated lunges with a 35 # DB
Yeah, probably why my glutes and hams hurt so darn bad.

I had a major meltdown/pity party for myself last night My foot was very bothersome after doing LM. It was fine during the w/o, but a few hours later the toes were a bit swollen and the foot painful. I told DH and some others that I wish I'd never had surgery It's even more frustrating now that I know the podiatrist even thinks I am not recovering the way I should I am mentally better today though. Thanks for your ears
This morning I did 4ds Chest and Back work followed by CCV1 on the stationary. Who the hell said V1 was easy I really cranked up the resistance on the hill challenges and almost reached puke factor several times
I hope you all have had a good weekend!!

Catherine - Sorry to hear that your foot is still being so bothersome. I was really hoping this surgery was going to make things better.
Thanks Linda. I am just gonna have to be content with modifying what I do for now. I was just having a bad day all around yesterday.
So how are your legs doing-did they recover yet??

Cathlete
No, actually I think my legs hurt worse today then they did yesterday.
Kinda walking funny today.

That's what happened to me with disc 3. The doms got worse each day and lasted 4-5 days

I'M BACK!!
Wow, I missed being here! We got back yesterday and I had laundry piled to the ceiling and no food in the house. It was a great vacation, the weather was awesome and I ate & drank way too much DH couldn't get his phone-laptop connection to work and wouldn't call his tech guy for assistance so I couldn't check in. I only ran twice due to TTOM cramps so I really had to kick myself in the butt today. Went for an hour and a half bike trek burning 516 calories. Then off to Costco, Sams, and the vet since Cooper (my dog) had goop coming out of his eyes. Well, $88 later, I find out he has an infection in both eyes (like pink-eye) UGH!
Linda- I see you started to follow the STS program. I had to laugh at your comment about how anyone can continue to lift 60% of 1RM toward the end of the workout without getting frustrated. THAT was me all the way! Don't you remember my whining and complaining??? LOL! I have decided to do a muscle endurance rotation and plan to start doing meso 1 again. I'll let you know how it goes. I need to get back to my chins/pulls
Catherine- Sorry to read about your foot still bothering you NOT FAIR!! Nice job on the chins you did during Lauren Brooks workout. I still cannot do more that 2-3 unassisted so maybe going back to meso 1 will help. Then I might try another round of P90X. Are you getting ready for the RT?

Welcome Back, Judi!
Nice job on the bike trek. Your vacation sounds wonderful!
I was whining about STS and the 60% to let you all know that I commiserate with you. I found out exactly what you were all talking about, not that I ever doubted anyone. I didn't even bother to do the 1RM testing.

Ok, I replied to this last night and who knows where my response is
Judi, sorry to hear about your Cooper's eye infections I may plan to restart Meso 1 again after the RT.
Linda, I don't know what kind of crazy you are to do the drop sets of pushups from GS before disc 4 of STS Simply amazing!!

Linda, I don't know what kind of crazy you are to do the drop sets of pushups from GS before disc 4 of STS
Catherine - Okay, I am not that crazy. Disc 4 starts with drop set pushups - starting with 14 and dropping 2 until you get to 6. So since I had GS Chest in I just went ahead and did them with Cathe, skipping the first set of 16 and stopping after the set of 6, not doing the 4 & 2 rep sets. Believe me I am not doing on more pushup than I have to.
This morning I did Amy's KB Surge with weighted gloves. Workout was 1:06 and burned 584 calories.
BTW, have some DOMS in my shoulders from yesterday, which I rarely get.
