Good Morning Girls :)

Today was GS C&T for me. I wanted to do the mix and match, but I woke up late and didn't get started till 7:30, and I knew the kids were going to be up by 8. So I did it as is. Still a really good workout! My triceps are sore already, and I am having a hard time lifting my arms!!LOL! And wow does that band work, work!!

Before I post my stats, I wanted to ask if you guys read the posts in OD about jazzing up your posts. I can NOT figure it out, I am so computer illiterate. I was hoping one of you could explain it in "baby" language so I could under stand itx( Thanks!

Stats: (I did 8-10 reps for most excersises, except the band work)
Chest:
all pushups on toes
bench press: 2 sets 8 reps at 25#, 1 set 10 reps @22#
flys: 17# all 3 sets with Cathe (12 reps?)~could have gone higher
incline bench press: 1 set 25# 8 reps, 1 set 22# 10 reps
incline fly: 20# 8 reps 1st set, 10 reps 2nd set
close grip press: 40# BBl both sets
dips with 40# bbl
lying extension: 1st set 10# 10 reps, 2nd set 10# 7 reps, finished with 8# for 3 more reps!
overhead extension: 25# followed Cathe
cross body extension: 10# 10 reps both sets
kickbacks:10# followed Cathe
kickbacks with band~could barely do the last set of 7 pulses, my arms were shakin" :)

Marcy~ your right, after the x the pushups in gs were not bad.:) did you do the scheduled leg work today or ballet? did you ever try the iballet workouts. I downloaded one, but haven't tried it yet.

Gin~ I am so excited~ 1 more week and I go in and set up my class and see the class list! How is your room shaping up? Did you get your class list?

Tracee~ how was your workout today? what did you end up doing?One more week till baseball season starts for us. What do your boys do in the fall?

Cheryl~ I hope you had a good workout today?

BBL,
Deanie:*
 
Good Morning Ladies!

Today was 3 mile run followed by GS legs floor only, PLB floor only, Core Max2 and Stretch Max 2. We should just call this day,"Stability Ball Day"!

Deanie--I am always amazed at what you and Marcy can lift! Way to go girl! I have had my class list for a while. I know about 5-6 out of the 10. I worked on my room about 5 hours yesterday and had been up there 2 or 3 times before that. It is fun to get it all just right. Takes a lot longer to put it up as opposed to taking it down. Are you going with a theme? I just like bright colors.

Marcy and Tracee--What workout did you do today?

Cheryl--Are you still with us? I hope so!

Gin:)

ETA: I don't understand how to do the "jazzing" of the posts either. I had to have DH help me with the avatar pic!:p
 
Hi Girls!

My big workout was cleaning this morning.:( I got up too late. It wouldn't have mattered anyway because I'm real sore from my neck down to my hips. I might try to do Core Max tonight but I don't know about any leg work.

I read the post in OD about jazzing up your threads but it was confusing me so I'll have to reread it and try again later. But if anyone else can explain it better, I'm up for suggestions.

Deanie - Wow! You are really strong in your chest.:) I think I'm going to do only 8 reps and go heavier like you did. It's so easy just to follow Cathe. I'm going to try 19# and 8 reps in chest for next week. Let me know how you like the iballet. I'm really curious. How much was it to download? Does it download directly to your ipod or do you have to download it to the computer and then to the ipod? As you can tell, I'm not too technically literate either. I liked the David Howard tape yesterday because it had much more center work. It also had turns which I really like to do. Good luck with your very own class this year. I'm sure you'll do a great job.

Gin/Tracee/Cheryl - Hope you had great workouts today.

Hey girls!

Gin~ Love the avatar!! and yes, please tell us how its done. My DH and I tried one day, and it didn't work:( About the class room, since I'm with 2 other teachers, we meet on the 28th and will do the classroom then. I only know one child so far in my class, but I'm happy because she was my favorite 3 year old last year:7

Marcy~ I did only 8-10reps, knowing I would be able to go heavier with less reps. I wonder why Cathe does 12 reps for a muscle building workout? There must be a reason. About the iballet, I downloaded it to the computer and then onto my ipod. I'm not sure when I'm going to use it though, maybe next week or the next instead of "stability ball day" not sure. I got it for free (I think your first 3 downloads are free, or they were when I did it, about a month or so ago)

Hey girls. I read the posts about changing the colors and stuff and think I understand it so I'll test it out [font color =red]here[/font].

Hey it worked!!!! If you girls let me know what you're stuck on I might be able to explain it or see what you're doing wrong. Have any of you tried to do it? You might find that you can do it without any help.

I didn't get a workout in today either. I was up until 1:00am and didn't feel like getting up at 5:00 to do [font color =Darkorchid]pushups[/font]!

[font color =Cyan]Gin[/font] - Congrats on your sons engagement. How exciting!! Lucky you if you didn't have makeup on in step class because you had a great natural color to your lips and face.

[font color =blueviolet]Deanie[/font] - My 11 year old plays football in the fall, he started practice this week, games will start in September. My 8 year old plays soccer and he's going to try flag football this year. I don't have my 3 year old in any activities yet.

[font color =Crimson]Marcy[/font] - Sounds like you're taking a needed rest if you're feeling sore.

Hope you all like your colors. I didn't write down how to do any of the other fancy stuff or I would have tried those.

[font color =red]Tracee[/font]
 
Tracee~ I am sooo jealous! Great job figuring that out! :7 :7 :7 I am stuck on step one!!! I am going to go back and read it again, but I truely didn't understand a word:) x( Also, you are nice letting your boys play football, my sons have not asked, but I would prob. not let them play. My 11 year old is small (compared to other 11 year olds, he could prob. pass for a 9 year old):) Don't sign your daughter up for anything yet, you are out numbered!!!LOL

YAYYYYYYYY!!! Now on to font work.

[font color=steelblue]I feel so smart now.[/font]

Ooh! I'm getting good at this. I'm moving on to font size now.

Deanie - for the jazzy text, did you use the quotes? I'm going to try it now:
