Damage Control...Thursday!

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning.

Okay girls. You better perk up! This thread has been v-e-r-y - s-l-o-w the past few days. If you all chat up a storm after I leave friday night I am going to be very insulted!

Wow, my legs are really feeling y'day's work out. I thought I might be a little sore but not this bad. Should make for an interesting work out today which, by the way will be the final HCEX work out that I haven't tried yet which is
a circuit. It's an IMAX3/HSC combo. It contains two IM3 intervals/blasts followed by one complete HSC cycle and it repeats 3x. This is gonna be KILLER! Wish me luck!

BBL~

Good Morning!

My mom was offering to take DS so I could sleep in but did that happen??? Nooooooooooo! God forbid he leave me alone for a few mins so I could rest He is the same way home most times, never bothers hauling his father out of the bed.

Yesterday's workout was 4 miles on the TM mixed in with DM. I did some of the cardio in DM but not all of it. I was getting very tired during the workout and my muscles were burning. I don't know if I using heavier weights, if I had less slack in my band or if it was just the lack of sleep the past few days. I am debating what workout to do today. I don't know if I should run when I get home or put my long run off until Mon evening. I think I am going to do the marathon though. Who knows, maybe I will have more energy with the lack of training I have been doing?

Wendy** The thread as been slow but it works for me b/c I haven't had time to be checking in so there hasn't been much to catch up on! I know, I'm selfish! Sounds like you had a good workout this a.m.

Diana** I love the 2nd box set of STS. My sister and I went halves on it and I am kind of afraid she is gonna want to take it with her when she goes but I can't say much of course. She hasn't even used it yet! I won't mention it and hope that she forgets

I should get my arse in gear. My coffee is all gone but I feel like i need MORE!

Hi ladies,

I had a terrible day yesterday. I actually posted about it last night, but the post is gone. Not sure what happened there. I'm working hard at letting the issue go and hoping my boss steps in and handles it.

Today will be a circuit w/o, leaning towards High Step Training Advanced. It's the one will all the step ups. I have an all day meeting again and won't be able to get away to the rec ctr.

Wendy-sorry I haven't been in here much, just don't always have the time during the day to get back here. Don't take it personally. Wow, you are impressing the heck out of me with all stepping you are doing!

Lori-I love DM, although it seems like ages since I've done it. Don't mention STS and hopefully your sister will forget about it.

Laura-glad to hear you are starting to feel better.

Jacque-you must be super busy at work. Stop in and let us know how you are doing.

Lori:: I feel your pain re your son getting YOU up every morning and not his dad. My son is the same way. Sorry your work out was tougher then usual this morning. Mine was too. I did an uber tough work out on sore legs...not smart! I was going to add Tonique to Athletic Step tmrw like I did on Tuesday but now I'm thinkin' NOT!

Diana:: I was only bustin' chops. I know it's not personal. Yeah, coming back to step is like opening up a whole new world for me. I just hope I don't burn out on it again like I did last time. I have to try and keep a good balance of different types of cardio so I will continue to enjoy for it a long time to come. ESPECIALLY if I am going to bust my hump to try and learn all of this complicated choreo!!!

Hey Girls!

I went outside earlier and it was so nice out that I couldn't NOT go for a run. There are so many hills out here it's nuts. And it's so funny b/c all of the little places that use to seem so far away (like my friends house) when I was growing up, doesn't seem that far anymore. Then again, we use to walk like turtles. So I just finished a nice hilly 12.3 k run...took me an hour.

Diana** Sorry your day wasn't a good one yesterday. I seem to have those more and more often but if my boss comes back from his meetings with a raise for me, I wonder will I be more upbeat about work? Probably. Its probably the real issue that's underlying. Although, him having my work space taken up all the time drives me insane and TALK on the phone? I have never seen a man talk so much on a phone before in my life. Plus...he doesn't go home for lunch anymore. All he eats is crackers and jam! He ran out the other day and I asked him what he was gonna eat now. When I looked there were two more bottles of jam in the fridge!

Wendy** I know during fire walkers yesterday my band was tighter then normal and those plie squat jumps get me everytime regardless of if I am tired or not. Maybe I am squating to low or something but I always have to take a breather on that one. It was a good workout though. Sometimes its nice to feel like you are getting your butt kicked!

I may bbl! Hope you are keeping the thread exciting enough for you today Wendy!

Lori:: Nice run. You may feel those hills in your legs tmrw! IKWYM about how you view where you grew up as adult as compared to what you remember from being a kid. Passing by where I spent the first 5 years of my life brings back memories and although the place looks the same (apt complex), it seems so much smaller now. We used to sleigh ride down a hill that was so big at the time and seems like a speed bump to me now. LOL If someone comes and posts here every hour then i will be sufficiently amused!

Hi ladies,

I did High Step Training this morning and it was great!

I bailed on the all day meeting I was supposed to be in today to work on a project that is not going well. It's as though we take one step forward and two steps back. This project is scheduled to be released on Oct. 4th and the testing has been spotty at best. Not a good sign and this late date.

One of my teammates doesn't want to play nice. I actually sent our boss an email addressing my frustration. She's one who thinks her job is more important than mine. She doesn't want to take on some of her new responsibilities but would prefer I do it.

Lori-nice job getting your run in despite all the hills!! I don't recall my boys waking me up very often. I always worked so DH or I was always getting them up and ready for daycare.

Wendy-I too like a good mix of step and non step (mostly kickbox) or Drillmax/bootcamp types of workouts. Are you packing for A/C??? Hope you have a great time if you we don't hear from you.

Jacque-you must be super busy with work. Check in when you can.

Laura-how are you feeling?
