Daily check in Friday 22 April

Hi, Sandra - thank you so much for asking. We will probably go to his funeral this weekend. My daughter is doing fine, she feels terrible for her friend and wants to just be with her. I think things like this help us realize that we need to take advantage of every day we have on this earth and let our loved ones always know how much they mean to us. You just never know.

Apparently, that very same night, a high-school girl (my daughter didn't know her) died in a car accident in my neighborhood just 30 minutes after we passed that very same spot. It's just all so depressing.

Hello all!

Well, I am devastated to report that last night I broke the 54 day with no rest day cycle:-( I know I probably needed it, but for some reason it just made me feel like a failure.

Today I'm going to do Imax 3 and a segment of Coremax.

It's a nice day here today, but looks like we're in for some lousy weekend weather.

Hope everyone has a great day.
 
KPC for me today (my fave workout, I must say) and I am doing a CoreMax later on.

Hope you all have great workouts,
Marie
 
Hello everyone!!

Happy Friday!!

Today my brother came over again to workout!! I am proud of him..he is doing so good!! LOL

Today was:
P90X legs and back,Ab ripper X
Legs and glutes: 39 minute standing premix...Yeah!! Cathe really gets into those legs..P90X just is not that leg intense.

Wendy: Girl!!! You are too sweet!!! I am glad that you are ok from the accident.

Labor bag suggestions:
Chap stick or lip balm
Red socks..LOL
Your own pillow
Soothing CD's to listen to
DVD,VHS movies to watch
Books/Magazines to read
Nursing bra
One of those gel eye masks..great cold on your face!!
Small back massager.
Aromatherapy oils: Lavender is wonderful!!
lotion for massage
List of number of people to call
Birth plan
prenatal vitamins
snack food/drinks for hubby, so he does not have to leave to get something to eat.
If your getting induced remember to eat a big breakfast before going to the hospital..once there nothing but ice chips, and if your lucky the might let you have Sprite or Sierra mist..so eat up ahead of time!
I think it is great if a patient brings their favorite ice cream or cheesecake for after delivery...it is a wonderful treat after all that hard work!! Depedning on the time of your delivery the cafeteria might be closed so plan ahead for something yummy to eat after you have the baby!
My hospital is nice because each room has it's own little fridge and DVD/VHS combo, and yes a Jacuzzi tub..plus we give all of our new mom's an Arbone gift pack..very nice!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
:) :) ;-) :D :p :9 :7 :+
 
That's ok, Shelley. I haven't worked out all week. I'm feeling better so you and I will start out on #1 tonight....my money is on you to last the longest without a rest day!!!

Haven't decided what I'll do yet. Either Imax 2 or Cardio & Weights and a segment of Coremax....sounds good.

Have a great weekend all!

Sandra:

THanks for asking about Victoria. My husband and I are leaving June 1st and I am counting down the days until we leave Chicago. I like the gym I joined here in Chicago, and my self-motivated workouts here; but nothing compares to the wonderfully choreographed advanced step classes with all my friends at the gym in Victoria. I miss it so much. On the other hand,I wont miss work of course in Chicago. We work in a lab doing research on Parkinsons Disease and we work 7 days a week to fund our Victoria vacations. When I am in Victoria all I do is workout, go for walks, have coffee with friends, and do some gardening.
 
LOL!! Sandra, I will remember that should the topic of shopping with boys ever comes up with you.;-) :p

I did PUB Chest and Back, then did CTX 10-10-10 with abs from Power Circuit and cooldown from that also for cardio. Nice change from all the kickboxing I have been doing and my toe didn't hurt thanks to the wonderful anti-inflammatory I am on. Hopefully my orthotics will be here soon and I can start stepping again regularly, I could tell I hadn't done it in a really really long time!!:eek: :+ :)

Have a great day!!:D
 
Hey Denise,

Can I come to YOUR hospital instead!?! Sounds better than mine! :p

Thanks so much for the extra suggestions!!!

I will hopefully finish with my packing this weekend!

~Wendy~

I smoked my last cigarette on March 17, 2004 at 10:00 pm!

Hi Everyone!

I actually got up a little early and had a run on the treadmill. Then I got the boys off to school. I need to work on trying to get up earlier (I am not a morning person, at all!) so I can get a longer workout in. I am giving it a shot though. Going to fit in an upper body and ab workout this evening.

The weather stinks here. Drizzling rain and fog and cold ALL day!! Yuck!!! Depressing. I started my garden and it is suppose to get pretty cold this evening.:(
 
Hello friends:

Friday is usually my rest day, but it was only the 6th (not the 7th) day in a row working out, so I did Step Blast to get an easier cardio in.

Now I have tomorrow off for errands etc, plus I'm going out for beers soon which always makes the next day's workout a little tougher!

Have a nice weekend everyone.
 
Hi Denise,

I just wanted to tell you that I am still SOOOOO envious of your top. I am about ready to fly to your state and buy one! I love clothes as much as working out can ya tell ...LOL.

Well today I did the high step circuit, triceps and biceps from the slow and heavy series. Later I will do some abs from ab hits. I am not certain that I am in a constant aerobic state during HSC. I mean I know your heart rate goes up and down during circuits but does it stay in fat burning zone?
