Good Morning Fitties,
Yesterday I didn't fit in the workout the rotation called for (butts & gutts leg blast), but took a 30 minute hilly walk in the heat !
Today calls for a TM run (which you guys know I sub a power walk for).
I'll probably do my own version of a leg workout - including firewalkers and who knows what else and then do some cardio. Maybe today I'll spend some TM time with Sean.
I hope everyone had a nice holiday in the middle of the week.
Personally, I'm glad it's over. But today is NEW day !
Have a good one !
Becky

Good morning all!
Today was B/G overall leg. It kills me when she repeats the leg raises in the end! I remove my ankle weights for that set!
Becky, why are you glad the holiday is over? Too much craziness?

HI again!
For my leg workout I did from B&G : Walking lunges, firewalkers, then repeated both, plus, All about Legs w/ SB. Was 45 minutes.
Will do some cardio but again it's so BLASTED humid, I'm talking myself out of it!:-( Maybe I need a pep talk?!!!
Phyllis, It was just one of those days yesterday. My MIL called at just before noon to say she was going to be gone all day at a cookout but she needed us to pick up prescriptions for her- which for some reason she continues to have them call in to the pharmacy by her house, where she ISN"T living right now and isn't by us !!
The pharmacy closed early , and she needed us to drop it off to her but she was going to be gone all day, so she wanted us to wait for her call & bring it whenever they got home !
I know no doctors were in the office yesterday, so the prescriptions had to have been called in Tuesday and she should have asked us THEN!
We had a cookout, parade and fireworks planned......none of which ended up working out.. some because of her, but also weather, and another mixup.
It just ended up feeling like one of those days you should have stayed in bed !!;(
Now she is coming to spend the weekend and I'm LESS than thrilled. She wants to come to talk about MOVING IN WITH US!
HELP!
If I do cardio, I'll let ya'll know!;-) :7

Good morning all! Sorry I didnt get the chance to check in yesterday. Me and my DH were up early and got stuff together and headed out for the holiday. Still got my workout in though - did a cycle class and abs at the gym and our "holiday" consisted of going to Stone Mountain Park in GA and climbing the mountain, walking trails, and then relaxing for a few hours in the HOT sun before the laser show and fireworks - fun but very tiring. Today's workout will be some form of Kickbox, I havent decided which Cathe video to put in yet. And then it will be the gym this afternoon for Chest and Back workout. Sad thing that I won't be doing Cathe weights workouts too much anymore bec my wonderful hubby has convinced me to finally go for my dream of one day competing in a figure competition! AHH! Excited and nervous all at the same time Anyways...hope you all have good days and stay fit!
And Becky - I can understand the stress you're under! My MIL is constantly reminding me that she thinks I got the good end of the deal in my marriage. But that's what makes a difference between an ok person and a GREAT person - being nice, loving, and caring to those who are the hardest to do so for. But I find that a good way to be able to do that is to pray for the ability to be patient first and then...vent some stress in working out. SOOO - HIT SOME PAVEMENT GIRL Good luck with everything. And we'rr all here for ya if you need to vent more.

Phyllis,
The chances unfortunately are pretty good. My DH is an only child, his mom is turning 86 in a few days, has Parkinson's disease and is unable to live alone anymore. She's been staying with her sister, but I guess her sister is driving her crazy so she wants to come here.
Tina, thank you. I know what you said is true. This is very difficult. My MIL has never cared for me. I found out once my kids got older, that whenever they spent time with her even when they were very little, she was talking bad to them about me. She also said for the past 20 years or so that when the time came, she'd go into a nursing home , but now she says she can't afford it. So we're it.
I'm having a very difficult time because I want to be kind and caring and generous and she is the hardest person in my life for me to be that way to.
I do count on my workouts to relieve stress.....and you're right, I NEED some cardio today in a BIG WAY!!! Guess I better stop slacking off and get to work !
Thanks for the advice and peptalk.
Sorry for so many posts today from me!!

Hey everyone,
Becky - Post as much as you want. I understand perfectly well what you are dealing with. My MIL is a manipulative person who would only be happy if she makes everyone's life around her miserable, because she is miserable. My DH and I are at the point that we hardly even deal with her and my FIL, he just tunes things out and escapes to work at church.
When DH was in the hospital this spring she had me so wrung out I could have strangled her. The doctors and nurses couldn't even stand her, so I didn't feel alone at least. You vent as much as you want, this isn't the kind of thing that you can rant at alot of people about.
Today was Pam Cosmi Steppin in Rhythm and BM 2 abs.
Oh, still haven't preordered and I don't think I am on the bandwagon for this series at all, not my cup of tea...Do I smell flames??? LOL!

Hmmm...I think I am changing my work out for today already! LOL
I think I will do PUB, pull ups and abs at home today + yoga tonight or tmrw at nap time and then take a kickbox class tmrw night instead of taking spin this morning! I am doing this partly in hopes of getting DH to the gym with me...Keep your fingers crossed that it works!

Connie, no flames from here......
I don't think all of us love every kind of workout .....for me it's hi/lo and kickboxing that I don't care for. When the boxing workouts come out, I'm fairly sure I won't be ordering. I just can't do the kicks and jumps anymore, and that type of workout just doesn't float my boat !;-) I don't think there's any reason to buy something you doubt you'll use or enjoy!
Thanks for the words about MIL's. At least I'm not alone.
I just finished CC#3 . Tina , thanks for the little push. I do feel better. But how couldn't I after spending time with Sean?!!;-) :7
Time to shower !
Just editing an earlier post, I forgot to post that I did the floorwork from B&G's too. HA!!:7
