GDMT***A little less conversation Tuesday

Good Morning GMT

Today was ME....Lunges...hard. Abs...hard. No planks in the ab work...priceless This workout always works me hard, but I always have a dread factor for it. But since I did PH on Sunday, I think PH is harder! Never realized that before, I always thought PH was easier. I do have to say, I think there are too many leg presses in ME. Boy was I tired of them by the 3rd round! I thought of subbing plie squats, but by then it was to late.

Today is the Purim Carnival at school. I will be a cowgirl (and thinking of you Gin:7 ) Yesterday the director (who I've known for 8 years- my kids went thru school with her. And who brought me in to the school to work last year) announced she is leaving!!!!!I am so sad I love her, and love having her to work for! She will be there thru June, but then is leaving! I also wonder what that means for next year, who else will be leaving, and what that means for my/our jobs.....

Gin~ How'd you do with ME. Are you fully recovered? I hope so. What fun activities do you have planned for you and your nephews ? Your SIL/DB house sounds great! I hope they can sell it easily. The housing market here is really bad!

Marcy~ Whats on the agenda today? Glad you got a good report from the apprasier! Hopefully it will be smooth sailing for you now!:7

Have a great day!
Later

Good morning DGT!

Did Lisa Nunziella's 5-Day Latin Dance - Cha Cha, Samba & Salsa. Samba was the easiest; Salsa the hardest. Burned 384 calories; HR stayed up almost entire workout. Also, did 3 chinups a row today for the first time.

No house news yet today.

Deanie - Yes, I saw the blog pictures and I think these are going to be tough workouts. I can't wait till they explain back-off sets and double wave loading. I'm also looking forward to the workout manager software.

Gin - Did you watch DWTS? I actually liked all the men except for Adam Carolla. He was really bad. I was surprised how much I liked Penn Gillette. He was very entertaining. Steve Guttenberg also looked like he was enjoying himself. My favorite was Chritian de la Fuente. How's your day going so far with your nephews? Did they watch you workout again?

Good Morning Girls!

Today I also did ME...and I thought....Lunges,hard, Biceps, hard,...Not TOO many pushups, priceless!!}( Don't know why the biceps were tough for me today. I agree there are alot of leg presses and it just seems to get my HR up, but not work my legs too hard.

Deanie--YeeHaw on the cowgirl outfit. I'll bet you look adorable!! So sorry about your director leaving. There are bound to be some changes, but maybe good ones, too. I have been through 4 directors and some I have loved more than others. The last one left about 3 years ago and we were all so sad. I still keep up with her through e-mail.
It is pouring down rain here so I plan to get out the games, puzzles and maybe rent a movie or two with my nephews. They are working on a 3d puzzle of the White House now. We saved quite a few games and things from when our boys were little.
I also hope my DB and SIL sell their house quickly. They may have priced too high. Bathrooms and kitchen were never updated. The house was built in the 60's.
The blog pics look great and scary!}(

Marcy--I am also curious about the meaning of back-off sets and double wave loading.
I did watch DWTS with dn8 and I liked Mario, then Christian (what a cutie!) and Steve G. looked like he was having fun. I'll have to watch the girls tonight.
WTG on the 3 chinups!!
DN13 slept til 10am!! But, dn8 did the last of ME with me (abs and stretch).

DS20 just called from his Spring Break ski trip in Utah. Poor baby came down with the stomach bug. I hate that for him. To be so sick and so far from home.:-(

I have written a novel here!x( :+
Have a great day!

Deanie--What do you plan to do for the rest of the week? I think I am....
W-run and SM
T-BM2??
F-yoga
S-L&G
And..will you be taking a break from workouts next week when on vacation?

Off to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off with nephews. PG13?? Don't know why though.

Gin

Gin - Hope your DS gets well soon. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is really funny. Enjoy!

The girls are on DWTS tonight. I've heard Marlee Matlin is pretty good but I'm thinking Kristi Yamaguchi will probably take the lead.

Hi all

Gin~ HOpe DS feels better soon. Enjoy Ferris Buellers Day off--Fun movie! I will be doing:
Wed. Imax 3
Thursday:: LIC
Friday:: off (but I may do L&G in the afternoon- not sure if I will get a chance to workout before we leave on Sat.)
I will probably not be working out during my vacation. I will start June 07 rotation on Monday March 31. Unless Cathe posts a rotation I/we all like better.

Marcy~ Latin Dance sounds fun

Enjoy DWTS tonight!
Question:::What are you all planning for a rotation for next month?

Deanie

Marcy~ interupted by DS, meant to add great job on the chinups!

 

[marcy]

Thanks, Deanie. As I'll hopefully be in the middle of my move, I don't have a clue what to plan for next month. I might try Amy for a while since I still have to try the upper body on her Slo Mo and I could use her cardio DVDs which I haven't done in a while. Sorry it's not Cathe but I might as well get use out of all the stuff I have. I will check what Cathe's offering for April though and may do some of it if it looks interesting.

Latin dance was a blast. Dance workouts really blast the fat off like nothing else for me.

It'll be great to do chinups/pullups in the same room. I hope my Door Gym fits in the doorframe of the new room. If not I might get a tower or whatever Cathe's selling. I already checked out wood flooring for the room. It's only about $300 but I don't know how much installation will cost and don't know if DH wants to tackle the job. But maybe he will since it's a small room.

Have a good night!
