Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for March 24 Sat
- Thread starter lorajc
- Start date
I didn't think I'd be back so soon. I ended up doing Yoga Booty Ballet Cardio Cabaret and repeated the cardio segment twice. It was 46" long and I burned 280 calories. I also did Rainbeau Mars Yoga for Beauty - Dusk and Ravi & Ana's Fat Free Yoga - Start Your Engines.
I'm off to the bath tub and then it's the normal Saturday routine, Ebay business and movie. We're going to see Shooter with Mark Wahlberg. Looks good. I'll be back later.
My boy kitties keep looking around for their sister. They've been sniffing spots she was lying in when she was sick and they look sad. They've been lying together most of the time and last night....everyone was up in bed. Hollywood sometimes doesn't stay ...but he did last night. Thanks again for caring about Pandora even though you didn't know her. I appreciate it.
Did you ladies see that on the news about the pet food having rat poisin in it? That's horrible.
Have great workouts.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!
No idea what workout I am suppose to do yet. Suppose to go to a birthday party for a 80 year old woman. My hubby's boss mom. I can't lift heavy in the morning so I hope it is just a leg day and I got to get started soon.
The dogs and our cat is just looking around wondering what is going on when they see the boxes everywhere in the house and see me packing. Cute.
Lora,
When our dog, Belle died, Ms. Pudd (our cat) just laid in the same chair as Belle use to lay in. She stayed there alot. I knew she missed her. She was funny last night. I noticed she had a dirty bottom so I wiped her and she didn't like this so then my dd comes over and gets all these kisses from her. I try to get her to kiss me and she wouldn't...she was still mad at me for wiping her bottom. lol. I didn't hear about the pet food though. Is it the can stuff? I use Purina dry. I hope you have a great day, and I hope you won't be too sad. I know it hurts to lose our babies. I am thinking of you. I know how it feels.

Hi ladies! I got lots of painting done yesterday. Happy about that! I am going to a 2-year-olds birthday party today. She is my cousin's daughter and she is very special to me. She was named after my mom and was born the year after my mom passed away. Seeing her always makes my day! 
They live a distance from us (about 45 minutes each way) so that will probably take up most of the afternoon. I am still hoping to get home in time to WO if I don't get something in before we go.
Lora-YBB sounds good to me right now. I really admire your WO consistency! I think it will help your heart and mind heal faster. Gotta throw that yoga in there so that your heart stays open! So sad about your other animals wondering where Pandora is. They definately grieve too!
Char-Looks like we will cover all ends of the birthday spectrum today! Have fun at the party! Will you eat cake? I am so on the fence about it...still love the way it tastes , but it tends to make me really sick these days x( !
Have a great day everyone! Will be back later!

Char - your animals never moved before? Our cats get depressed when they see us get our luggage out. Pandora used to always get sick and have to go to the vet when we got ready to go on vacation. She used to chew on her belly due to allergies and had to have cortisone injections about every couple months. Your pets will know what moving is all about soon!! Thanks for the kind words -- pets are just like kids. Love 'em to death.
Jen - if you can get away with it, go in the other room and eat a couple of bites of the cake and pitch the rest. That's what I always do if I can. It's not always possible. Sometimes I wrap it in my napkin and pitch it with the paper plate. The first couple bites are the best anyway and I just read an article that explained why the first few bites of candy or cake, etc taste so good and make it hard for you to stop eating it.....even after the initial first bites. It's because your brain releases the chemical Dopamine ...the feel good one......like a runners high or the feel good one that drug addicts crave. Thus the reason when you bite into a piece of chocolate, you feel sooooooooo good.
Dallys - do you still use your microderm cloth?

Another puke-status workout this morning. Kind of weird with this one because each exercise was done differently. This is Phase 4 Week 7. I have to say, this rotation is giving me excellent results. I'm down to 127.8 lbs. and my body fat is at 16.7%. I've very happy with this.
Chest:
Bench Press: 85# - 2 sets/10 reps and then I did 3 negative reps which took me to failure with both sets
Incline Dumbbell Bench: 35's - 2 sets/10 reps and 3 negatives that took me to failure
Flat Dumbbell Flye: 30's - 1 set/10 reps, then dropped the weight 30% (21's) for another 12 reps
Incline Flye: 31's - 1 set/10 reps, then dropped the weight 30% (21's) for another 12 reps
Triceps:
Close Grip Press: 70# - 2 sets/10 reps and then did 2 negative reps which took me to failure (these were hard!)
Lying Barbell Tricep Extension: 45# - 1 sets/10 reps with 3 negative reps
Overhead Tricep Extension: 40# - 1 set/10 reps then dropped the weight 30% (28#) for another 8 reps
I was fried after this. So little sets, but the workout was very intense. I did Cathe's Core Max #3 too.
I feel awesome! This workout kicked butt!
Lora - I want to see Shooter too. Seen Rocky last night, that was a pretty good movie.
Hope you all have great workouts!

Morning Maniacs! I'm alittle stiff from my bike ride yesterday. Not sure what workout I'll do today.
Lora-I still use the micro sponge. Except now I'm also useing it as a full-body exfoliater (is that a word?). I'm doing the Jergens tanning lotion thing. I started with the darkest one and it looks pretty good.
Debbie-That's fantastic! Your results are great! Are you still on the same rotation or you doing the one Diane Sue was doing? Or is it Diane Sue that is doing the one you just did. I get mixed here. LOL!
Char- Nice that I'm not the only one that does the (dog) butt whipeing thing. LOL! Have fun at the party!
Jen- Have fun at your party too! I don't think I could pass on at least a bite of cake.

Hello!
I don't think my ride is going to happen. It's been raining all night, it's still raining and it's getting windy. I'm supposed to check in with my cycling partner in a couple of hours but it doesn't look promising. I think I'll do a cardio coach on the elliptical instead. Or maybe I should do Imax 2. I haven't done that one in awhile. DH has a wedding to shoot. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful but but my cycling buddy will be out of town. My other cycling buddy is moving away this week. The other gal we ride with is pretty limited on when she can ride with us. I think there's another gal who is starting to ride with the group more too, so maybe I can ride with her too. Or maybe I'll just ride alone. I used to love to ride alone.
Jen - I answered your question about coming to peace with not having kids on Wednesday's post in case you didn't see it.
Lora - I hope you are feeling just a little bit better today than yesterday and a little bit better tomorrow than today. It's so hard. You know, it's so weird how things work out, but at least you were home with Pandora for the last weeks of her life.
Debbie - Congrats on your awesome results!!!
Dallys - I wonder if your poopster is stiff today too??? Better throw her in the hot tub.

You know my DH would kill me if I did that...literally! Carma's alittle stiff but not to bad, plus one of her paws is now sore. She's chewed off a layer of skin, darnit! We took off her boots towards the end of the ride, hopeing to toughen the feet alittle at a time. We need to take it a bit easier on her for awhile still.Oh, and she has the runs as usual, so the "poopster" name fits today. Hope you get to go on your ride today.

I did CC#5. Although I love that one and it gets my HR a teensie bit higher than #6 (like 2 beats), I do believe that #6 is still my fav. At one point Sean said something about being sure you're only in the orange zone and I looked and my HR was 190 so I actually apologized to him. Hehehe. I'm such a dork!

Suz - 190 -- yikes - I'd keel over! Mine doesn't go that high....ever! I'm still not that good today, but it's normal. My DH & I have been crying off and on when we go to do something and it's something that has to do with her. He was crying cleaning the litter boxes this morning. Everyone in the household is sad......my kitties too. I told DH at dinner (while fighting tears) that I don't think I can go an entire month to wait to start looking for a new one. We're going away April 21st and he wanted to wait, but he agreed that we can start looking in a couple weeks and that will give us time to be here with the new one to supervise their interaction and get used to each other.
The movie was really good.......Shooter. We both liked it. 2 thumbs up from Cooper & Cooper.

Lora - I'm sorry that you and DH are feeling sad. That's normal you know. I'm glad that he agrees you can start looking for a new girl. There are so many who need homes. Where are you two going? I can't remember if you said. I'm glad you liked the movie.

Suz - we're going to Vegas. He wanted to take a vacation (as he's been working) and he's afraid that I won't be able to take one for a year when I get a new job. You just reminded me of something.......last time I was out of work for 5 months, we lost a cat and ended up getting Hollywood.....thus the reason had a "stay at home" Mom when he was little. He's spoiled rotten cuz of it too!! I guess God thinks I should be taking care of cats right now........but I sure hope he gets to that job situation soon!!
dogs2birds
Cathlete
Your DH is smart for thinking of the vacation thing. That's a great idea. You certainly could use a vacation, that's for sure! Sounds like God's working out a plan once again. You'll get the right job when the time is right. After the stress of the hospital job you really needed to de-stress for awhile, so just enjoy the time while you have it.

Hey Maniacs! We ended up going on another Mt. Bike ride. Went for 2 hrs. 15 min. Burned 780 cals.}( We didn't take Carma as she is still to out of shape for that long of ride. DH is making Pizza again. I'll eat maybe a whole one. LOL!
Anne- Just downed my new P90X drink and I really like it! Thanks! Sorry you didn't get in for the Road trip. That's sucks!
Suz- FINALLY...a favorite! I seriously can't tell the CC's apart. LOL! Everytime I do one it's still my favorite. Oy!
Lora- Vegas is getting so busy anymore. We stayed in the Venetion(sp?) not to long ago and it's a very nice Hotel. Nicest I've ever stayed in. It had a sunk-in living room! Maybe you'll win some big money and won't need a job.
Later... hot tub time.

Dallys - Great ride! I wonder if you're gonna be really stiff tomorrow or if this loosened you up? That's good that Carma got a break. I always feel sorry for our dogs b/c we take the time to work up to things yet we throw our dogs into 2 hour workouts right off the bat. I used to do that when I ran. I was totally guilty of the same thing. Poor things!
I'm glad you had a sunk-in living room and not a skunk in the living room as I first read it!

Funny thing about dogs, is that they are so willing to give it their all, that they have you believe they can handle it. Seriously though, with all the horseback riding we used to do, we know how limited they are. We have witnessed many a dog (not ours) have heat stroke or heart attacks on rides. People were just so dumb with their dogs AND their horses! Oy!
