Good morning! I have Hard Strikes on tap for today. Then maybe the beach, who knows. I'm feelin a very lazy Sunday coming on 
. I'm most likely gonna start STS tomorrow: I can't wait!! I'm gonna switch it off with P90X, so ill prob do STS one week then P90X the next. I always see awesome results with each so maybe them combined will be even better
Belinda, the bugs always bite me up too. I'm allergic to all insect bites so if I get enough of them I wind up with a nasty fever had to invest in lots of bug spray this summer since we spend so much time outside. Thanks for the tips on the yoga!
Deb, are you doing STS too? I really can't wait to start! I always feel so strong and accomplished when I do that workout.
Amelia, enjoy your rest day!
Hi, cookie! Hope you had a great weekend
Enjoy, ladies!

Amelia - good job on your walk yesterday. Enjoy your rest day today.

Hi,
I took today as a rest day. Between food shopping, farmer's market and cooking my monthly sauce didn't have much energy for a workout.
Belinda - It's amazing what you can find on you-tube. I don't cook for the whole week (I should) just Sunday sauce & I freeze it & I'm good for 4 more weeks. My SIL is going to Virginia Beach possible same time as you, that was our HS graduation class trip many years ago
Amelia - I'm happy the humidity left us this weekend, but I'm sure it will be back. Enjoy your rest day.
Melissa - STS/P90X combo sounds interesting you'll have to let us know. I'm just doing STS Meso 2 but with my gym closing trying to take favorite classes inbetween so may take me forever to finish
Waves hi to Kristin & Cookie
Goodnight

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I actually made it to the beach yesterday; it was very relaxing! Today I might be going up to visit my parents for a few days but it depends cuz their dog might have MRSA and my mom doesn't want me going if its active. She's waiting for the test results so I won't know until this afternoon. Oi! And today is the day: STS day 1!!!! I'm so pumped and excited to start STS again!
I also grew a pair and finally asked that guy im talking to what is going on and he said he wanted to see me again but I guess I wasn't giving any hints that I was interested so he was scared to ask he invited me to a clam bake with his friends last night but I got the message 2 hrs after he sent it so I didn't go. Also, I didn't want to crash the party since they caught everything themselves, not to mention I'd be a nervous wreck just hanging out with just him: forget about meeting his friends!!
Deb, that's a good idea to cook a big pot of sauce for the month! I should do that so I'm not scrambling at the end of the day for something to eat. I didn't think of looking for workouts on youtube, that is a great idea!
Belinda, nice workout today! I've never been to VA Beach, I hear its a lot of fun. Have a great time!!

Hi guys. How's everyone doing today? It was a busy and crazy weekend, let me tell you. DS had a blast at his birthday party. It was a lot of fun. They played dodgeball, kickball and even a bit of wiffleball. A few of the parents wanted to book their kids' birthday parties there, so my friend (the owner) was very thankful to me for having the party. She gave me a whole bunch of free sessions.
My sister and her husband showed up about 45 minutes late and left really early. I could not care less though. They are idiots. My BIL walked right past me and did not even say hello. My friend asked who he was, and when I told her she just said, "rude." Yea, in a nutshell rude is the right word, lol. Who cares, right?
Anyway, DS had some friend's come over after the party. They played on the trampoline, wiffleball in the backyard and then video games. We let them stay until after some wrestling thing on t.v., which was around 10. Then we went to bed, exhausted. Yesterday was an unexpected rest day. My brother came over with his fiancée to wish DS a happy birthday. They went to the store to get DS an Xbox, his birthday present. Then they had dinner here. When they left, I was too tired to workout. I have been working out 6 days a week for weeks now, I figured I should just listen to my body.
Today I started week 4 of meso 1, with D10, chest, shoulders and biceps. My whole upper body is feeling it, especially shoulders and biceps. Should get some nice DOMS. I may go for a bike ride or walk later, not sure.
Melissa- good for you for contacting that guy to see what's what. I think it's cute that you were both interested but not sure how the other felt and so backed off. That's crazy about the dog. I didn't know dogs could get MRSA and pass it on to humans too, crazy. Have fun with D1 today! All those push ups are waiting for you
Belinda- I hate bug spray too, especially how it feels on my skin and how it smells. LI seems to have a lot of mosqitos this year, even more than I remember last summer, so I have sucked it up and spray it on if I am out after 5. I have citronella candles too, and DH bought this spray for the backyard that kills all bugs, that he sprays once every two or three weeks. It helps. Woo hoo, you are on week 2 of STS!
Deb- too bad the instructor can't charge you for each class. How much is the monthly membership at her other gym? I too need to start practicing cooking "ahead" and freezing it for later, especially when school starts.
Amelia- powerwalking with high humidity makes for a good sweat

Good afternoon,
Did my workout awhile ago, just getting around to post. D4. Today I started a 30 day yoga challenge. Loved it!
Kirstin - that was rude Glad your son had fun yesterday. Woo hoo you are on W4. You gotta keep those bugs off, whatever it takes. I noticed that too, this year they are awful
Melissa - good for you asking the guy Glad you working things out! Yeah, on starting STS today. What is MRSA? Hope the dog is fine. Now I need to google MRSA?
I will check in later. Have a great day, everyone.

STS D1 done! I forgot how many push-ups are in that workout (and how much I hate them). I feel so awesome though! Also did Core Max, no equipment abs. The dog is ok so I'm gonna go up to my parents' house in the AM; by the time I heard from my mom it was 3pm which means I'd be battling beach AND rush hour traffic to get up there: no thanks.
Kristin, DS's party sounds awesome! I'm glad the kids enjoyed themselves. That is so rude of your sis and BIL. What gives?! You're right, you don't need to waste any more energy or time thinking about them. Some people will never grow up! Good job listening to your body. Five days is still awesome IMO
Belinda, MRSA is a type of bacteria that causes skin infections and is a type of staph infection. Supposedly a lot of people carry it but never have symptoms, and animals can get it too, which we didnt know. I think it's mainly a big deal in the elderly and people with compromised immune systems but if I could avoid it that's exactly what I was gonna do. Oooh what is the 30 day yoga challenge? Sounds fun!

I also did Charlene Extreme "Extreme Core" = 12 min. Love working my core on the stability ball. Felt that one in my upper abs.
Melissa - glad the pup is ok! And thanks for explaining. Good job today.
BBL! Aleisa needs my PC.

Hi,
Today I took a class like Power Hour at the gym. The instructor I wanted to take was on vacation so there was a sub but I'm sore so can't complain. I also realized today that because of yoga my balance is getting better & I'm stronger in my upper body.
Belinda - I'm assuming you do yoga for 30 days straight? Is it a you-tube workout?
Kristin - Your son must have been thrilled with the party sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure in the summer you are more active running around with the kids. My current membership is $50 a month & most gyms in the area are matching that price for the 1st year so I can address increases next year.
Melissa - Wow, I didn't realize dogs could get MRSA. My older son was hospitalized for a week (quarantined) a few years ago it was scary. It's a good sign that your friend wants to introduce you to his friends
Waves hi to Amelia & Cookie

Hello everyone. I just finished cleaning (so exciting) and then doing my workout. Today I did All Out plus core #1. Yesterday the boys and I went for a bike ride and they want to go again today, so I have to quickly take a shower and get out there with them. I wish the summer would slow down. I cannot believe how fast time is flying.
Melissa- did you do all of tabatacise? I have yet to be able to do all five. I got up to four, and I thought I would die, lol. I love the first song in that one.
Belinda- the 30 day yoga challenge sounds interesting. Can you share the link here? I'd like to check it out, even if I do it for two or three days a week as an add on. . .
Deb- at least some gyms are willing to match your membership fee at your current place. $50 a month is a lot. Does that include unlimited classes and what not?
Waving hello to Cookie and Amelia. Off to shower and then bike ride

Hey girls
The last two days ended up being rest day so I killed it in the gym tonight. 90 mins total! 10 min power walk warm up followed by all upper body for 50 mins then a 30 minute elliptical workout. Feels good to accomplish so much
Melissa-Have a great time with your family. Nice job with your workout today.
Kristin-Enjoy your bike ride..the humidity is back here in Ga. It was cool yesterday. ^5's on your workout.
Belinda-Great job on your workout.. I will have to check out that yoga link.
Debbie-^5's on your balance gains. I used to do yoga at least twice a week...need to get back into it. My gym is 25 a month but its a hole in the wall. LOL. its really small and only offers one class. There is a gym that is about a 15 min drive and its 45 a month but its super nice with many classes and its pretty big. I'm thinking about going there in September.
Cookie-How has your week been so far? You back from vaca?
ok girls. Off to see what I can get into. I've been watching HBO to go on my phone. Right now im watching Boardwalk Empire then I may watch Rome. Hey, do any of you guys watch Duck Dynasty?

Hi,
Today I took a spin class. I'm not sure if it's because of vacation or people leaving the gym already but their are bikes to spare TG I have DVDs because it is starting to get to me about pros & cons of all the gyms in the area so I probably have more options.
Belinda - I think you are sending the rain here tomorrow Great job with your workouts, wow on 30 days of yoga! There is one gym in our area that is $80 - $100 per month but too far (I guess that's a good thing).
Kristin - The gyms are expensive in this area and the yoga, ballet studios are almost double and that's all they offer. The gyms I am looking for all have lots of classes free. I feel really bad for the Mom's with small children that use daycare (free at my gym). Most charge at least $3 an hour & like one Mom said at the end of the month it adds up to another membership fee Ugh, on the summer going too fast but kudos on filling your days with fun stuff
Melissa - It must be nice to go home & spend time for your family . . . I'm sure they love it when you come. I still haven't tried Tabatcise & after what you & Kristin said not in any rush
Amelia - Maybe you can get a free pass to try the other gym out & possibly negotiate the rate (see I'm learning a lot from my old gym) LOL. I don't have HBO but it sure sounds like they have a lot of shows.
