Crazy, Strong and Loving it for Monday, 6/07

It's after 10am....where is everyone?!?!?!

I had a great weekend. I hope you all did as well. Now back to the grind...

Last night I did CTX 10-10-10. It was fun. Not a fan of hi/lo, though. Got a good tricep workout. Tonight will be some form of cardio followed by back work.

I'm a little stressed about getting my workouts in this week. I have commitments for the next three nights. Mostly fun stuff, but trying to fit in workouts will be a challenge. I am determined to get them in, though, even if I have to work out at 9 pm. Cuz you know I ain't gettin' up early...

Hi ladies! This will be a quick post as I am in a little late to work today due to an appt first thing. GREAT weekend here too, wish it wasn't over! How sad!

I ended up doubling up my STS workouts since I didn't get my leg workout in on Friday so today was meso 1 disc 3 and disc 4. It actually was a great combination, even though I was totally pooped by the end of it! Glad I got it done though...and now totally tempted to do a short run tonight, its gorgeous today! Buh-bye mugginess!!

Debbie - thought of you this morning during those push-ups! Sadly, I did not fare as well, mine were mostly on the knees, I could do a few standard style but then my form suffers so I drop to my knees. I gotta work at it big time!! GREAT workout though huh??

Melissa - c'mon, give a morning workout a try, you never know, you might learn to love it??

Jessica - not sure I would love it more than getting an extra hour of sleep in the morning, though... And as for today's weather in MA...good hair-day!! Enough said...

Ha - seriously great hair day weather! I just chopped my hair shorter too, how are you liking your new cut btw?

I seriously think you should try the morning workouts for a week. You'd be amazed at how quickly your body adjusts, you just have to get used to going to bed a little earlier, that's all. Like how I make it seem so easy?? But just think how much more time you'd have for yourself at night!

Good Morning,

Due to the fact that I got a major league sunburn at the lake yesterday I didn't get up to do the Insanity fit test so tonite since its raining and I can't walk I will do the fit test and then CLX Burn Circuit 1.

Debbie-great workout.

Jessica-I am going to take your advice about the morning workouts I don't like to get up either.

Melissa-enjoy whatever workout you decide on. Great job with yesterdays workout.

I'm a big proponent of the AM workouts - sometimes it SUCKS (mostly in the winter when its darrrrrk and collllld) but if you start off in the summer with the morning workouts, come winter-time, your body will adjust and you'll be used to it so it won't be nearly as painful as if you tried to switch to AM workouts in the winter. Just sayin'

You do make a very convincing case. I'm thinking of how much extra time I'd have at night to shop... Might not be a good thing, though, I did plenty of damage yesterday!!!!

Love my new cut! Love to hear that you chopped yours too! How short did you go??? Do you love it??? Details...I need details...

Give it a shot just for a week Melissa, for me???

Ok so I have had the longer in front/shorter in back look for awhile now but it was starting to grow out and was almost a one-length bob which I was getting bored with. So I went a lot shorter in the back and in the front too (though front is still longer) and I think it looks pretty cute?? Not gonna lie, I had a panic moment yesterday when I did it on my own for the first time but today went better and I'm liking it more now!

For you, I'll give it a shot. Starting tomorrow morning, I'll be up at 6am to get my workout in. I'm gonna tell you right now that I'm not gonna be happy about it and it's not gonna be pretty, but I'll do it for a week and let you know if I've been converted.

Your cut sounds awesome! You must feel like a million bucks!! And I understand your panic moment all too well. This time around my stylist seriously texturized my hair and when I washed it the next day I had a "holy crap what have I done" moment when it felt like there was nothing there. That first day when I have to style it myself is always a crap-shoot, but the next day is usually better. I'm glad you are liking it more now.

Okay, I'm off to fiddle with my rotation for this week since there is no way I can do step that early in the morning.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to go get some work done, too...

Wow Melissa, I'm impressed! I hardly had to push you at all to try the AM workout - love it!! You can scream at me tomorrow when you're tired - but I promise you'll be happy tomorrow night when you're out and not stressed about fitting in a workout at 9pm

Hey Everyone

Although I thought about it, I didn't feel like a run today. Instead I did , for the first time, from The Terminator: The Gauntlet!!!! . It definitely got me over my dread of IMAX2. It's a combination of an IM2 interval + blast, and then a C&W combo weights move, and then a Bootcamp Weights move, and then a BC cardio! 7 times! 80 Minutes! So , that's my only workout of the week. a good one, huh? Calorie burn over 650 calories!!!

That was my last formal workout of the week. Tomorrow very early morning (we have to BE THERE at 5:15am) I leave for Washington DC with my son's 8th grade class for 4 days, 3 nights. On a bus. I'm helping chaperone. I'm anxiously excited. Such mixed emotions. One thing that makes me a bit nervous is managing my son's diabetes (he has Type 1 in case you didn't know. since he was 9). . that's the reason I'm going.

Hope you girls all have the best week! Melissa, i'm thinking when I come back you'll be an early AM exercise convert!

Hi girls!

I'm taking today as a rest day. I should take the rest of the week off as a rest week inbetween workout rotations. But I probably will workout this week just not a rotation though as I'm anxiously awaiting Turbo Fire's release!
I finished Insanity yesterday!!! Whoo Hooo! Great stuff, love it. I did check in yesterday and I know that most of you weren't there so probably didn't see my post so I'll copy and paste it below. I'll be back later for personals.

Hi girls!

I didn't see a thread started so I started one.

Here's today's workout:

Insanity- Fit Test= 30 min
Calories burned= 451
I'm done with Insanity!!!! I finished my fit test and completed it as of today!!! I did it

Pyramid Upperbody- Pyramid Up only(Includes abs)= 40 min
Calories burned= 328
Great workout but there is something about pyramid for me even when I do the weights cathe does or slightly heavier it definitely hurts and I can feel the DOM's that are coming. I didn't mean hurt in a bad way just the usual cathe way. LOL!!

Total calories burned= 779

Hello's and waves to : Debbie, Chris, Heather, Jessica, Jolene, Melissa, Roxie, Belinda and Wendy. Also if I forgot to mention anyone your included even if I forgot the name, I'm sorry.

Hugs!!!

Hi ladies. Sorry for being MIA. I'm still getting in my workouts. Shocker right

Sunday DH and I ran on the beach (barefoot, ouch). It was so worth it though. Today I ran on the treadmill for 30 mins then did MMA Kickbox and abs. Of course, after that, I proceeded to sit on the beach from 11 - 5!

I truly hope everyone is doing well and completely apologize for being MIA and out of the loop.
