I'm in a kickboxing mood this morning so I think Amy's ITR will be the order of the day. Then we are heading to the cabin to close it up for the winter, take out the boats, docks, etc....

Catherine- Have fun in NYC!!:D

Linda- How are you liking plyo legs? I think I'll do plyo's again and wait until I have a weight vest to do the squat rack legs. Putting too much weight on my shoulders/upper back can be problematic for me. Hope your headache is gone.

I'll be back on Monday and ready to start Meso 3. Have a great weekend:)

Ugh! I think I am getting sick AGAIN! I have a slight cough and a scratchy throat.:(:(:( I only have 2 weeks left of STS and I cannot get sick!:confused: Also DS birthday is this weekend and his party is on Friday night. I do not have time to be sick!!!!

BTW, we came home early from the cabin as DH blew out his knee while taking out the docks. He saw my sports med doc this morning and has an MRI this afternoon. She's thinking ACL but the MRI will tell for sure.

Linda- Nice workout!! Only 2 left? I have been feeling similar to you with a scratchy throat, drainage and head fog so I feel your pain. I'm thinking either allergies or a cold.

Catherine- Hope you are having fun in NYC! Not sure when you were coming home but have a safe trip back.
 
Hey ladies, I had a wonderful time in NYC with the girls. Now it's back to the grind :( I did GS C&T time saver this evening. I hope to get back into the groove of working out consistently :rolleyes:

Judi, so sorry about your husband :( BTW I think your numbers are impressive!!

Linda, wow on those 102# bb rows :eek:
 
Judi - I think your numbers are impressive too! They aren't that far behind mine! :) I have two WEEKS of STS left , this one, and next week will be the last week. Sorry to hear about DH's knee, hope it's not too bad.:(

Catherine - Welcome Back! So what did you do in the Big Apple? Thanks, on the rows.


BTW, I double checked my Deadlift weight and 105# is correct, last week I did 102# so I am up 3#. I know you don't really care but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.:D

DUH!! I need to clean my glasses:eek: Of course, I could have just looked at your ticker. Hope you stay well so you can finish on schedule.


Catherine- Welcome back!


I've got cardio on tap today but haven't decided on a workout yet. My low back is a little achy after yesterday's workout so low impact would be nice.
 
Hey ladies, I can not decide what to do today cardio or lower body. Uh, it's been over 2 weeks since I've done a strict leg workout. Unless you count KBs from last week. So I am scared. I think though I need to do cardio today and legs tomorrow because if I do the reverse I won't be able to w/o tomorrow.

Linda, we did a ton of walking and talking and eating in NYC. Nothing fancy just mostly hanging out which was fine with me. I can not believe you are almost done wtih STS. What's next?

Judi, how's your hubby?
 
Catherine - Hanging out is always fun! I know I can't believe I am almost done STS too! Where did 3 1/2 months go? :eek: Well, my plan so far is to play around with something for about 4-5 weeks, thinking maybe Turbulance Training again, while Debbie finishes STS. Then the two of us are planning on tackling P90X together.

Judi - I second Catherine, how's you hubby?


This morning I did LIC Cardio Timesaver Premix and added the bonus cardio from BM2. Because of this stupid virus, my HR hit 180 on LIC, I mean come on it was LIC. So Plyo Legs tomorrow should be interesting to say the least. After I got everyone off to school this morning I went a took a hour nap.:p

Today's workout was 54 minutes and I burned 453 calories.
 
I did CCV2 on the stationary this evening. I was ready to throw in the towel after challenge 2 but I pushed through it. That's 2 workouts in 2 days. The most consistent I've been for a couple of weeks :confused: Lets hope I can keep it going :rolleyes:
 
Hi Ladies-

No workout for me today. I just got home from DH's doctor appointment and he has a fracture of the tibial "something". I don't have the exact wording but apparently when he hyper-extended his knee, the force backward fractured the tibia behind/around the knee cap. Thankfully he doesn't need surgery but must stay off his leg for a month, wear a specially fitted brace for 2 months and attend PT.

Sorry, but I gotta run. I'm getting my hair colored & cut then the in-laws are coming over for dinner at 4. Somewhere in between that, I need to prepare dinner and pick up the house:confused:

Judi, so sorry to hear about your DH. Was it the tibial plateau?
Click to expand...

Not plateau...I think it began with an A. DH has the paperwork with him but when he gets home, I'll read it again and let you know. He is just miserable as a big part of his job is going around calling on his clients:(
 
Judi - So sorry about your DH! Sending prayers for a speedy recovery!


Sorry I was MIA but have been running around like a mad woman planning, preparing and cleaning for DS's party. And this stupid cold is not helping!

Anyway yesterday was Plyo Legs which just about killed me, especially those one legged squat thrusts!:confused: Workout was 52 minutes and I burned 443 calories.

Today I felt so lousy when I got up I didn't want to do anything, but did anyway. I did 4DS HIS/LIS cardio only without much enthusiam. Workout was 56 minutes and I burned 401 calories.
 
Today was Disc 26 plyo legs and followed up with stability ball abs. I still can't get those one legged pikes down yet but I have been able to do a two legged pike then raising one leg in the air. They are still crazy hard!

Thanks for the thoughts & payers for DH. I am feeling kinda whiney because with him laid up, I have so much more placed on my shoulders:eek: Closing the pool, putting away all the patio furniture, fertilizing the grass, cleaning out the gas in the mower, prepping the snowblower, blah blah blah! Oh well, for better or worse...right?!

Linda- Those one legged squat thrusts are killer!:eek: I'm not looking forward to doing them again. Good luck with DS's party and hope you feel better soon.

Catherine- Nice job on CCV2...you are on a roll! It is hard to get back into a consistent routine after having time off. How has your foot been holding up?
 
Ugh! I am not sleeping well due to all the coughing, so when I get up in the morning I feel horrible. I did not want to workout and I can't tell you how many times I wanted to quit during it. But it's done, and I did well, especially considering how I feel. Now if I can just get through this party tonight!

I did GSL standing portion only this morning. I am still in a bit of a funk. That's only my 3rd workout this week. I just don't feel myself and can not seem to get motivated. Ok, I'll quite whining now ;)

Linda, sorry you are feeling bad. Your workouts look awesome for someone who's been sick LOL! I am impressed!!

Judi, nice job with the pikes. I don't think I'll ever be able to do them 1-legged. I can imagine having DH down is a bit of a strain ((hugs))
