Hi and good morning,

Today I will start Meso 2, disc 13!

My legs are so sore today.

Have a great Monday, everyone!
 
Hallo grils,

I am done with disc 13 :rolleyes: I had no energy today, had to drop my weight a few times today. I am should have taken a rest day yesterday, not workout like a crazy person:rolleyes::mad: Thanks to DH:mad::mad:

I will post my workout later, can't lift my arms right now. It hurts typing:p

Have a great workout and Monday.
 
Today I will do biceps/triceps from PS. After the run yesterday, I am kind of itching to run again today, but it'll be too warm after work. So if I can talk myself into the gym, I may go do some HIIT work for 30 mins. We'll see. I have all day to talk myself into or out of everything! LOL.

Belinda - at least you got it done!

Wendy - did you end up doing shoulders? Mine aren't as sore as I expected, but it's still early in the day!

Happy Monday,
Heather

Good Morning,

Checking in late went to the dentist this morning. Tonite will be Burn it Up they tell me this one is tough but after previewing it I don't think it looks that tough.
 
Debbie - good job with your workout! I realized yesterday that I need to add pullups/chinups to my back workouts. I feel like I am at a plateau and none of the workouts I'm doing seem to really be pushing me the way they once did. I tried to do a chinup yesterday at the park - OMG I am soooo embarrassed. Time to get myself to the gym and start practicing with the assisted machine (don't know what it's called)! :eek:

Roxie - hopefully the workout will be better than you are anticipating. Sometimes looks can be deceiving!

I am just use to doing Cathes workouts so to me these are easy.
 
Hi Heather, Debbie, Rockie and all who follows,

Heather, LOL! Hope your have fun with your PS bisceps/tricpes plus run today.

Debbie, wtg on your workout today. What are Australian Pullups? What are your plans for your recovery week? I felt like I had no strength today? Wired! Even the 20’s chest flies (dropped from 25’s) felt heavy today, don’t get it? I will post my workout later.

Rockie, have fun with your workout today.

BBL!
 
Roxie - I know what you mean about everything else seeming easy after doing Cathe's workouts! As for dressing, I don't have any specific recipes (tend to make stuff up a lot). You may try going to eatingwell.com or allrecipes.com though. I saw one in Oxygen Magazine recently that looked good - had fresh OJ in it, but can't tell you all the details... SORRY!!

Belinda, Australian Pullups are the kind Cathe does in week 4 with the first set and the 3rd set she does. I have the Perfect Pullup and I can do those on that. Don't sweat dropping the weights. This happened to me today as well. Not sure why.

Checking in -

Super workouts Debbie and Belinda!
Roxie, let us know if that workout was easy after all....
Yep, Heather, I did the shoulder work from S&H (I'm not sore, either..hm...) I had warmed up with a 1 mile jog on the TM, then about 1/2 way throught shoulders, I realized that I could get back on the TM during my 1 minute rests, so I did that - made it fun. Kinda circuit style. Then I did abs from LIC - it was the disc my finger landed on while I closed my eyes!
I don't have STS, and that's on Cathe's rotation this week. But I have CTX coming tomorrow! So I may do that plus extra plyo this week....
My stomach is still bothering me at work with no coffee. I think I'm gonna cut out the tea for a couple of days....?? Weird.
Hello to Chris, Patti, Bev, and Karen...good evening, all!
 
Hey Everyone!

Late check in for me today... work throws me off on Mondays...

I'm on Week #4 of Cathe's AUG rotation. I did STS MESO 3, WEEK 1, Shoulders, Biceps and Triceps!! It was fun going back to STS!! I love that she put these in this week. The rest periods confused me a bit, very leisurely, but I do like that I can change up my weight/bar without pausing. I also cleaned my workout room during the breaks! :p I used my 1RM's from the Spring, and they worked pretty okay.

Belinda: Wow, you WORKED it today!! Good job!!!

Heather: You got the "running bug", huh? When the boys go back to school next week, I'll definitely be hitting the park more. Good to hear you're running and no ankle complaints!!

Debbie: Nice workout today. A lot of band work, huh? That always burns!! (good!)

Roxie: Hope you have a good workout tonight. I read a thread recently on OD about someone who SWORE by SI6, and said even though people say it's boring, she got through it , and she had excellent results.

Wendy: Your workout sounds fun today w/ the shoulders and TM. I got mimimal DOMS from S&H last week, and I really pushed it, it was strange. Cool that you ordered CTX. I don't think I've done the weight work from that one yet. Just randomly do the cardios. ...Let us know when you cut out the green tea. .. I can tell you right now, I took my vitamins post-dinner, and I feel like I'm going to hurl. My stomach feels icky. Hate when that happens!

*WAVES* to Patti and Nora!!!

 
Nora! Forgive me, my fellow Northwesterner! Hello to Nora! I know you have yet to check in, so I hope you're having a lovely time in this beautiful weather!
Good night, all!
 
Well I was all psyched to run today since yesterday's run was so great. Today, not so much. My legs felt heavy, my ankle was a bit achy (not horrible, it is sooo much better), and it just felt like a major workout rather than something enjoyable. I think i need to space out runs perhaps. I did get triceps/biceps done. Tomorrow I'll probably do Cardio Fusion and abs.

Wendy - I saw someone post on the STS thread that they would run on the TM during their 1-min breaks. I say if it doesn't tire you out too much to do the weights, go for it! Great way to get in that cardio without it feeling like too much work.

Patti - being able to run on a scenic route sure makes all the difference doesn't it?!
