Roselyn - I don't remember who does Interval Cardio Burn [?] Have you tried out your heavy bag yet?

Debbie - Thank you for the news about Linda. I was sad to hear her recovery isn't going better. I've missed her posts and presence here. If you talk to her again, would you pass that on? Anyway - great job on legs today :)

Teddy - Dressing room mirrors are evil. They are retired Funhouse mirrors and you should not pay attention to anything they tell you :p . You sure do sound motivated though (and that is good). Please rub off on me. I am having a hard time being patient with my setback and keeping a good attitude. Well done on getting right back into STS. You go :)

Yesterday I did cardio on my elliptical. woot :confused: I also set my gymboss for two 1 minute intervals and 10 rounds (20 minutes). I used it to ... stretch. Held the stretches a minute each (obviously), practicing some of the breathing techniques from Relax Into Stretch by Pavel T. Good book. My only problem with it is he will get into some principle or concept and then say "For more info on this, refer to (some other title by him)." I would LIKE more info, but I wanted it in the book I bought without having to purchase 5 other titles to cross reference (sigh). Wonder if our library carries any of his stuff. I doubt it, but maybe will check. Anyway. Upper body Slow and Heavy/Slo Mo today. Leg feels pretty darn good :D. With the nature of Insanity though, I am going to continue being very low key until next week. I'm thinking I can start back up on Monday or Tuesday. This "down time" has given me an opportunity to think about my training and is maybe not a bad thing (as long as I don't go nuts :p).

Have a good day everyone.

Roselyn- I LOVE Cardio interval....did you know she is coming out with an entire series to go with those in March?

Debbie-thanks for the info on Linda, I agree with what Lori said. Please tell her we miss her and she will always be a maniac to us :D

Teddy-I am sorry that it took a painful moment to motivate, but I am glad that you are motivated. Full steam ahead, I am right there with you. I started the new Weight Watchers program, and it is fabulous. I will be back in my pants in no time too. Good luck to you.

Lori-I REALLY need to get out the instructions for that gym boss. A couple of kids reset it where I wanted it (New Year's party-they like to play in the workout room...:D ) . Smart little whippersnappers :eek: Anyway, that would annoy me about Pavel. Put it all in the book you are writing. I have been eyeing his super joints book, is that what he told you to refer to? Great idea on using the timer for stretching....you are so smart :cool:

Oh, I guess I should post my workout. Yesterday, I did Pilates for Abs and Flexibility. It was about 20 minutes and I felt good. It really does make you aware of you core, and my core is surely aware of me today :confused: I plan on shortening my cardio workouts while upping the intensity, and trying to add one to two days of stretching. I am really trying to focus on rehabing my current body state and progressing forward to gumbie-esque flexibility :D
 
Lori - You crack me up :DI have got to use that “retired funhouse mirror” you got that right, and they are freaking EVIL. Once upon a time I could look at myself in the funhouse mirrows and liked what I saw, now nothing but cottage cheese everywhere lol I know I haven't been posting much:confused:, what happened to you that you are taking it easy. I hope you did not injure yourself.
 
Theresa – I agree!! Weight Watchers program is truly fabulous. It is only program I loved. Hm…maybe I need to rejoin, I think I can join for free, will check it out. Good job with yesterday's workout;)
 
I would have posted my workout while waiting at the school but forgot my journal. I started my workout with Rapid Fire Warm up and heavy bag 21:36 minutes, 119 calories Max HR 154. I then did High Reps back then upper premix 48 min, 202 calories, I finished off with 10 Minute Solution 5 Day Get Fit with Amy Bento fat blasting intervals using 8lb dumbbells 10:30 minutes 70 calories. When I returned from taking the girls to school I did budokon flow and flexibility (loved it:D) I skipped the 5 minute meditation at the start I also skipped over a little of the judo roll because my grandbaby kept getting in the way. It was kind of hard with a weighted jump rope swinging around and bean bags being tossed. I did about 2 minutes of the final meditation. Workout was 40 minutes and calories burned was 171. There meditation had to stop. Grandbaby was eating my pink 6 foot dynaband:eek: Total time spent was 2 hours and calories burned was 562.
 
Teddy, you sound really motivated and that's awesome, but don't be too hard on yourself! I hate dressing rooms too, but I always feel like it's the lighting...it just seems to always be the most unflattering lighting!

Today I went to yoga, which was great because I didn't get to a yoga class the whole time I was up in Washington, even though I bought a travel yoga mat and fully intended on checking out the local yoga studio with my mom. Yesterday was Amy's Cardio Pump Step, and a very late workout.
