Crazy Strong and Loving It for September 23, 2009

[hriacobacci]

Hi ladies. I'm on the fence about what I may or may not do today. Thought about just doing the cardio premix from LIC. That one is always fun, and it's not over the top in intensity. Today is going to be a long 9-hour one for me. Lunch meeting followed by another meeting. Not sure when I'll get my afternoon snack in . I don't do well being thrown off schedule! Maybe I'll need a kickboxing workout after work LOL!!!

Chris - let me know what you think of KFM when you get it in. I think Roxie has those...

Roxie - I bet you jumped up and hugged the doc when he gave you the OK to eat grapefruit! I guess you can eat your grapefruit in the morning and take your med at night?

Belinda - how are you doing today?

Happy Hump Day.

Last nights workout was 4DS Kickbox minus the abs. Tonight will be 4DS HIS + the kickbox abs. My lower body is sore. Last night I had to put some muscle cream on my calves.

Two more days of work this week - can't wait until they are over! Take care everyone and great job with the workouts!

Good Morning,

Tonite is 4ds lower body and I will need you guys to push me to do this one I hate lower body. I found out why she gave me the diet pills her nurse is an idiot he said the scale said 155lbs when I remember seeing 136lbs so yesterday when I went I weighed 132lbs the dr. asked me how I lost so much.

Heather-I take my med every nite so I am going out today to buy some grapefruit to go with my disgusting oatmeal. Have fun with your workout I understand about the schedule I am on the road today for oxygen patients so I have to take stuff that doesn't require refrig.

Checking in -

So far today I warmed up on the bike (we got a recumbent from craigslist) then I did Biceps from SS and CTX. Really fried my bi's. I'm hoping to get more cardio in later.
Have a nice day, all!

Checking back. I realized that tomorrow we have plans after work and I was supposed to do PS legs. So, did those today. Tomorrow I need to try to get up early and do a light cardio. Hopefully I can manage to do the cardio from LIC. If not, it'll be a rest day and I'll have to get it done Friday.

Hope everyone had a great day and workout!

Okay, went back upstairs and did 4DS HIS cardio only. The dvd stopped about 2/3 through, so I started it again. So total time was 45 min. Glad I got a little cardio in - we made little pizzas this afternoon (using whole wheat english muffins) and I ate 2 AFTER I ate my salmon sandwich! I feel a little better!
Have a great night....

Hi girls!


Yeah! We made it through over the hump day, High fives! Great job on all your workouts today.

Here's my workout for today, (I'm doing Cathe's September '09 Rotation):



KCM 30 Min to Fitness Kickboxing=Workout 1 w/1lb weighted gloves
Time=30 Minutes
Calories burned= 287

KCM- 30 Min to Fitness Cardio Blast Workout #1= 35 min w/1lb weighted gloves.
Calories burned= 334
This is one of Kelly's brand new workouts, so I was excited to try it out. Its very fun and will make you a sweaty mess, its good stuff.

KCM 30 Min to Fitness Muscle Definition = Abs Only
Time= 11 Min
Calories burned= 68
Again, I was itching to try out any portion of Kelly's three newest 30 min to fitness DVDS.

Tomorrow is a rest day for me, which I need since today I'm suffering from the severe flu-like side effects of Avonex, my MS medication. This happens if I'm a little dehydrated usually not enough that I really notice so I just have to remember to drink tons of liquid until my back teeth float. LOL!!

no check in for me tomorrow since it will be a rest day for me. I know you all will soldier on with your fab workouts tomorrow so have fun!

Hugs!
