Good morning!
This morning I did CW step-premix, and SuperSets. I'm thrilled to say that after my 9 weeks of bedrest, I've managed to gradually increase my intensity levels over the past few weeks to the point that I was able to do CW unmodified today. I didn't know if I should expect to see increased conditioning, or whether the growth of the pregnancy would counteract any gains. This was one of those mornings when I thought I had zero energy, yet the minute I started my workout, I suddenly had a ton of it. It feels good!!
Connie - what did you think of CW today?
Emily - when is your birthday? How old are you turning?
Terri - you did ME the day after doing Push/Pull 3 sets?? Oh my!! I've done the Push/Pull 2 sets a few times, and find it really gets in there. Are you able to move your arms today? Can you type?
Angie - if you're cutting out the zillion squats to preserve your knees, does that mean you won't be doing the leg circuit section of BodyMax? That's a challenge for the knees, for sure! At one point I was doing Leaner Legs twice and week, and developed knee pain. Dropping one LL workout a week really helped. I want to get that book! It's quite expensive in hardcover, so I'm going to wait for the paper back version. Let me know how you like it! I think it will provide good motivation for taking good care of your body.
Foodie Sue - so, did you get in a workout yesterday? It's really tough when you're sleep deprived!
Stayfit - have fun at your cousin's wedding!!
Shelley - Yes, I have to ask - why are you up so darn early when you went to bed so darn late?? An easy-on-the-legs workout is CW, IMO. Our SportsChek is advertising the same shoe sale you mentioned. They very sporadically carry Rykas, so I was tempted to stock up with this sale. However, I only want to buy one pair, but they tell me that I will be charged full price for one pair ($129.99)! So, I can get two pairs for $99.99, or one pair for $129.99. Ridiculous.
Missy - my Friday night was really nice, thank you for asking. All of us actually stayed home together and did nothing. It's been a very hectic couple of weeks, so I was very happy to have no plans for the evening. Three SW movies in one day?? Ugh! I couldn't stand to spend that much time in front of the tv, no matter what was on! Did you at least make a game of it? Like every time Darth Vader breathed, you had to pump out 16 bicep curls?
It's the long weekend (Victoria Day) here in Canada, and for once it's not raining!! The Queen is actually in our city this weekend. On Monday there's some kind of public event where she'll be speaking. I was offered free tickets, but passed them up. I don't want to waste my extra day off listening to boring royalty speeches. Is there anyone here who would have gone?
Cheers,
Sandra
