Crazy Strong and Loving It for September 25, 2009

[hriacobacci]

Happy Friday! Today is a much needed rest day for me. Too bad it didn't coincide with being off from work. Sigh... What stinks is that it's going to be another very long day and working out afterward is always a great stress reliever. But I know it'd be a waste to even attempt anything.

I'm hoping that DH and I can run tomorrow. The weather is finally clearing (fingers crossed). I am supposed to do Meso 2 Week 3 starting tomorrow as well. I think it's shoulders, triceps, and chest. I may do chest only then triceps and shoulders on Sun, depending in my energy level. Has anyone else broken up STS like that?

Hope everyone has a great one!
Heather

Good Morning,

I really wasn't in the mood to workout last nite but I did just not the one scheduled I ended up doing Basic Step with 1 set of risers and just took out all my frustrations on it so I ended up with a decent cal burn. Due to the stress with DH I have lost 3lbs this week so my wt. is now 121lbs. according to my scale I am just not hungry. Tonite is 4ds Back and Bis and the abs I didn't do last nite.

Heather-I hope your day isn't to bad and enjoy your rest day.

Debbie-as of last nite things were getting better. I believe we will be ok it is just going to take time yesterday was his first day without a cigarette in 31 years.

 

[Roxie 1965]

I have decided that it would be in our best interest to just to leave DH alone if he wants to talk ok if he wants to cuddle ok and if not ok, I'm sure this can't be easy for him and I am proud of him for doing this.

That's a good attitude. I would do this for maybe 2 weeks and see how it goes. If things don't improve by at least a month, I'd definitely start speaking up. You can't live like that either, it's obvious that this really bothers you. {{{{hugs}}}}

Thanks Debbie for your support and hugs I know the medication is making him sick to his stomach but I am hoping it will get better, so I know that is part of the problem.

Hi girls!

Happy T.G.I.F day!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday and workout.

I did manage to get mine done after my rest day yesterday. Lots of good stuff on TV tonight, I can't wait.

Here's today's workout:

4DS Low Impact Step (cardio only) and Butts and Guts.4DS Low Impact Step (cardio only)= 37 min
Calories burned= 303

Butts & Guts= 78 Min
Calories burned= 706
Man, that is a killer workout I was a dripping wet sweaty mess. I felt good though. I'm a little bummed my energy was a little lacking but then again I did do 4DS Low Impact step first then did Butts and Guts back to back. Ugh, stick a fork in me I'm done.LOL!!!

I'll be back tomorrow after I workout and finish up Cathe's September '09 rotation, hooray!!!

Have a good evening girls, and enjoy.

Hugs!
