Hi Annette and all who follow. Annette, you've been digging the kickbox lately huh? I LOVE KB. I believe it gives me a great all-around wkout w/ upper, lower, core and cardio. Good for you. Henriette I hope you're feeling better. Please take it easy....a bunch of mother hens here! Sioban (did I spell that right?) I hope you get your wkout space back soon. Missy, I hope you had an awesome birthday. 50 is a milestone but you're still younger than me! Aquagirl, thanks for all the back and forth w/ Forum Admin about the tech stuff. I've been reading it all. Jeez, we're all so busy. Anyway...this AM I did Amy Dixon Superfit Body. Feeling good.

I did an hour run today. I'm enjoying the running. It's clear to me that cross-training is important. I'm having more DOMS than I usually have!

Missy I posted a response in yesterday's thread to you.
oh, and today I did... a walk at lunch in beautiful high park - oh the glorious views and smells + I did a short 15 minute ICE MM bi's/shoulders + I did 35 minutes of hoco this morning.
I hope to see you all tomorrow. Have a great evening.
Great workouts again ladies...

Good evening ladies. Today was cardio, so I did a Peloton bike workout (signed up again for a month) and then
Did Jessica Smith Walk & Talk 1 mile indoor walk on YouTube. I might take a rest day tomorrow....have a good
Night.
Yeah, Peg, I probably bother the forum admin. More than I should, but inquiring minds want to know

Hey ....great workouts all. Hope you're feeling well Henriette. High Park does look lovely, Ceci. Must visit sometime!
Today I continued with HasFit's hypertrophy program & did the Chest-Back 47 mins and finished with the To The Max bonus tabata 5 mins.
(..oh, & took a rest day yesterday)

Hi Ladies,
Thursday I was so beat again, that I decided getting my steps 10.000 steps done was w/o enough for me. At least I slept well last night! I woke up sometime during the night needing to pee and discovered my Kindle in bed with me. Normally once I start drifting off I put my Kindle on my nightstand, so I must really have been out of it.
I am trying not to be too hard on myself for missing workouts. I really love my workouts, but like you other mother hens are saying I have to take it easy. Besides being tired I do feel good. It's just the commute to and from work, 8 hour workdays and helpling with homework and cooking etc. is all taking a toll on me at the moment. I think during my last pregnancy I stopped my workouts pretty early in the pregnancy, but I was 25 then... and not working out at home, but at a gym and just not in the best place emotionally. I was often alone as my ex had a busy social life and was off in Germany playing American football throughout most of my pregnancy. What a difference this time around!
Missy - I am so sorry to read you are having a hard time rejoining the workforce. IT is a tough field to have been missing from as things change so drastically, but it sounds like you are doing everything right, staying on top of it with courses. The important thing is to be passionate and eager, and don't forget to network (LinkedIn, Twitter etc.). Perhaps even consider moving to a different field, either within IT or a completely different field you are passionate about. I work as a software tester and know there is often a shortage of testers with a programming background (which I do not have), so who knows... perhaps that could be interesting for you. There's a whole network of testers, also specifically for women (womenwhotest.com). Like the others say, keep your faith and don't stop believing in yourself!
