Morning Girls.

Well I have no work today! My bank closed due to the rather large amount of snow that fell here. Reminiscent of last year! :eek:

I haven't re-read y'day's thread yet to catch up on personals but I know someone asked about a start date for STS. I am starting the rotation on Monday January 3rd but I'm starting it with cardio. Because of the way I set it up, I won't be doing any weight work until that Thursday but the official start day is still that Monday. Hope this helps.

I'll be doing an extra long version of LBB today and playing with the WB! :D

BBIAB to catch up with personals!
 
Good morning ladies !

Well no SNOW day here . . . :( I'd absolutely love a reason not to have to go to work ! :p

In just a couple minutes I'm off to get my workout in . . . yes ladies . . . don't fall off your chair but this old goat was up at 4 AM, made coffee, did my Back 2 Life (in hope the old back will be revived ;)) and am downing a cup before I hit 4DS. Hoping, yet once again, to get back into a groove. And good news is I am not tired, yet.

We do have a Sharks game tonight against Los Angeles so I'm sure tomorrow AM I'll be a bit draggy - may just take a little nap (or at least close my eyes) when I come home from lunch.

Wendy - lucky you ! So just how are you planning on doing STS? Using all the Shock cardio first part of the week then the wts the 2nd part of the week? Are you going to post your rotation?

Inquiring minds wanna know . . . ;)

Off for a bit !
 
Good Morning!

I am heading to my parents house today. We are suppose to have snow at some point today and I need to beat that. If it was snowing when I woke up then I wouldn't have bothered but I was just talking to them and they really want us to come out. Soooo, I need to get my arse in gear! I also wanted to run to the mall before I went to see what deals were on. I already ordered another outfit from lulu lemon....:eek:

Wendy** Lucky you getting a snow day! If you could have rain days, this town would have been closed! Im not sure what new rotation I will follow in the new year, or if I will have time to follow anything structured. Do you miss your boy today??

Jacque** Sounds like you had a wonderful christmas with the fam! Most people aren't back to work here until Wed. Even though I was working this past weekend I only went in once:D Loved it! Didn't feel like I was working at all and now I am off for 2 days! Enjoy your workout!

Diana** I can't believe you are taking down your decorations already! I will probably take mine down in a week or so. When can you start doing cardio again? I love circuits as well. Most of the girls I train do circuits and they all love them as well.

Alright...I need to get my workout in so I can start my day. I did a 10k run outside yesterday. Today I will probably just aim for 30 mins and some abs.

Hi Ladies,

No snow day for me either...but I don't care since I'm on vacation now until Jan 10th!:p

My dr. appt to remove my stitches is this morning at 10:20. I'm pretty excited to wear a regular shoe and be able to drive. DS2 is taking me to my appt. and afterwards we may go shopping. He may not want to go shopping, fine with me as long as I can drive. I have my final foot appt towards the end of January and hopefully will be released for impact at that time. I figure until then I can do lowmax, kickbox, tonique, and just modify the higher impact cardio until then. I'm even considering trying to run again.:) Amanda wants to run a marathon within the next 2 years. Although I may not run the full mary, a HM is doable for me and we could run the race together.

Can't believe this, but Jerod starts his driver's education this week. He has class M-TH and tests for his permit on TH. If he passes, we take all the paperwork to the DMV on his 15th birthday and he will get his permit. In Colorado, they have to have their permit for 1 year prior to getting their drivers license. The older boys only had their permit for 6 mos. before getting their license. My baby is growing up.


Wendy-enjoy your snow day! I need to review the STS rotation and determine when I want to start. I prefer to start on the weekend instead of waiting until Monday. Looking forward to hearing how you've set up your STS rotation. I thought I read somewhere that Cathe will be posting another STS rotation around the new year, probably just incorporating some of her newer w/o's.

Jacque-Would love to hear your review of back2life. I just checked this out on amazon. My DH has a terrible back, sciatica, bulging discs etc. Most of his issue is probably due to his weight, you don't have that problem! Nice job getting up so early and fitting everything in. Just schedule your rotation around your sharks games.

Lori-how far away do your parents live? I did get all my decorations down yesterday and got everything back under the stairs. The gd's will be here tomorrow night and I wanted it all put away before they got here. Normally the deco's stay up until New Year's Day.

Laura-Are you heading back to work today? Hope you had a wonderful vacation/holiday with your family.

4DS LIS DONE ! ! ! Woot Woot Woot ! ! ! :D

Lori - good for you not working much and getting your run in y'day. Drive careful -how long is it supposed to snow up there - will you miss it on the way home? LOL, more lulu, huh? :p

Diana - hope all goes well with the dr. appt today. At least you'll be able to walk 'normal' again without the extra heighth on just the one foot. I'll def let you know about the Back2Life. DH read the manual and said it can take up to 2 weeks to notice a difference. Like exercising, if I relax and let it guide me I can feel the motion and the a tingly sensation in my lower back when it is finished. I'll try anything - my back doesn't seem to have felt right for months. Am just about ready to go get an xray but we'll try this first. DH torqued his like I did - we've both been laid up with back pulls from many years ago. Course I need to strengthen my abs too. :eek: Been slacking on them for the entire year basically.

Time to jet as I GO TO WORK ! ! ! :confused: You ladies enjoy your day !
 
No work out for me yet. Gearing up to dig my car out. After that I'll see how I feel and take it from there. I'll bbl with personals. If I don't get my arse out the door soon I'll be doing this at 5am tmrw morning and I really DO NOT want that to happen! :eek:

BBL!
 
Well that wasn't nearly as bad as I expected! Didn't have to do much at all in order to get out! I just hope the snow doesn't freeze me into my spot overnight or I'm in trouble! :eek:
 
Hi ladies,

Woo Hoo, my stitches are out and I'm wearing a tennis shoe. The ball of my foot is pretty sore and I'm hoping that heals quickly. The incision is about an inch and half maybe and there were only 4 stitches. The incision area is pretty tender but should be fine in a few days. Showering will be much easier now too!
hmm-I switched to google chrome and now everything is showing up at xml. Oh well.


Wendy-glad you were able to dig your car out. I have a super wide driveway andte shoveling it in order to get my car out. Thank goodness for 3 sons! Are you still planning on LBB?
 
Hello ladies...

Lori...I just got all my decorations down too..the tree is out in yard..gotta get the lights off of it and I am DONE..bring on the New Year..woot woot...there is a supersticious saying that all Christmas decorations have to be put up before the New Year or it is bad luck...so I am not taking any chances..lol...(it was prbly created by my father to make us get decorations put up though.lololol)

Jacque..have fun at the sharks game tonight...haven't heard of back2life...foes it help your back?

Ok...gotta go work on getting lights off tree before it gets too dark and any colder...have a great one...
 
Hi Girls,

DS2 ran me around today. I had some returns to make and a costco run. My foot hurts more now than it did before they took off the dressing. I plan an laying low the rest of the day. I also got my haircut, what a difference that can make.

I can't do any impact work, but she ok'd the elliptical or bike. I'm assuming I can do a low impact step w/o or KB, but will see how it feels. I'm thinking kettlebells might good to do for a few days.

Wendy-Nice job with LBB.

Laura-Did I win??? I don't think so, but I sure want to. Here's a website that shows the TRX http://www.fitnessanywhere.com/ They are used in the cross fit gyms in my area. I can kind of use tubing with the door attachment to mimic some of the TRX exercises.
