Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did WSFL Week 3, Day 5 weights/metabolic circuits. I forgot to take Advil before my workout and got physically ill in the middle of my workout from severe cramps and had to stop and take Advil. My workout was not as intense as usual. I will probably extend my rotation a few days to make up for this day. Workout with my own cool down and sstretch was 62" and I burned 478 calories.

I'm beat this morning. I didn't sleep well and I'm really tired. Hope I can make it thru the day!

Have great workouts.
 
This morning I did Cardio Coach #7. My energy kind of sucked with the first challenge but after I got done with that (it's 21 minutes long) my energy kicked back in. I did very well with Challenge #2 and #3.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

I am gonna do my own extended version of Butts and Guts. Kinda similiar to Low Max's extended version, but instead going heavy as possible with squats, etc inbetween and with less reps, of course. I want to build and burn so this is gonna show me what I am made of cuz Butts and Guts is tough enough without any extra.

Lora,

You still did very very good considering how you feel today. I came home last night from work and my veggie garden is partially destroyed by the wind and hail so I have to replant the pumpkins and cucumbers. Sucks. And to answer your question...yeah, dh has had the same job so the commute has been same. Now he is meeting me more in the middle and says we can move to next town further north, but I STILL love this house and don't want to move, but I do know our mortgage is higher and I do want him to retire earlier so I will move on those conditions only.

Hey Debbie!!!

You did good! I posted same time you did. Hope your weekend was kickin'.
 
Good Morning, today I may do some yoga. Otherwise it will be another rest day. I did not sleep well last night.

Lora, looks like you got in a good workout to me:) Workouts don't alway's have to be at the upper end of intensity.

Debbie, nice calorie burn.

Charlotte, I bet your legs will be shaking after that workout.

Happy Monday:D

I had a good weekend I had my GS all weekend, who’s 2 ½ months. I really commend the women who have young kids and work, it’s tough. Try doing anything with a baby in the house, seem like I had to hurry to do this rush and do that, basically working around his schedule. But, it was wonderful, he is so adorable. Saturday, I had a dentist appt, man oh man, I was tired, it was work just trying to finish my workout take my bath get him and me dress. I took him to my sister house who watched him for a few hours.

Any who, I had good workouts over the weekend, did legs & cardio Today is rest day, baby zapped all my energy. I have my patient tonight, after his dad pick him up, going for a nice walk if its’ not too dark. Friday evening, I went for 2 hour walk I was pooped when I returned, but it felted great. Back to work

Nice workouts guys!
 
Morning Maniacs! Yesterday was a much needed day off. Today, Dh and I have the day off and we are planning a mtn. bike ride in the canyon. Should be around 2 1/2 hrs. Of course, it's the tough hill climb straight up to the top... Arghh! "It will only make me stronger"...that's what I repeat to myself the whole way up! Helps some. LOL!

Talk later... Gotta get ready for the ride.

Morning Ladies!

I was still really run down over the weekend from this sinus / lung infection so I took it easy. We did purchase a power tower though, and I am really stoked.

Todays workout:

legs

Reverse Lunges - 25# DB 10/10/10/10
Static Lunges - 35# BB 10/10/10/10
Squats - 60 # BB - 10/10/10/10
bulgarian split squats - 10/10/10/10

OK - I need POINTERS on getting better at these pull ups - any ADVICE is greatly appreciated

upper body
close grip pull ups - 2/2/2 - I know this is lame
tricep dips on the power tower - I COULD ONLY 2!!! HELP
Hanging leg raises - 8/8/8

That is all I had time for. I needed to run to get to work - long day.

Please help on pointers!
 
Char - Sorry to hear about the damage from the storms. That really sucks! We had some hellacious storms too.

Ally - Just keep doing pullups. What helped me was I would pull myself up (and I put about 4 rises and the topper under me) and would lower myself down REALLY slow. I used the risers to help me get above the bar again and would lower myself really SLOW. For some reason this helps you gain strength to do chins and pullups easier. Try that and see how it goes.

'Oh sh##...she's awake!!
 
Hey Maniacs! Our ride ended up being 3 hrs. and 12 miles. We (dh) decided to extend it and added in a new part of the trail. My climbing felt really strong today, so that was encouraging. Saw some elk and some baby birds in a hole in a tree. It was gorgeous as usual up there. Much cooler than down here. Love the sound of the water running down the mountain streams. Took a nap when I got home...exhausted!

Char- That sucks about your car! Saw your new biking outfit. No more "ridin' nerdy" for you!! LOL!

Lora- How much longer with this rotation? I bet you'll be happy when it's all over! Way to keep at it!

Debbie- that happens to me alot with the biking. My energy starts out slow and then picks up after a bit (like after an hour! LOL).

Diane Sue- Enjoy your rest day!

Teddy- Sounds like you had fun with the GS. I get tired just watching my grand dog (daughters dog). Not quite ready for GC yet. LOL!

Ally- Have fun with the power tower! Like Debbie says, just keep doing the pullups, they will come. 2 is not bad at all though, some women never get one in. They are tough and take practice as well as strength. Also, wrapping a band around the bar and putting your foot or knee in a loop will help tons!

Fitladydi- Welcome! Just jump in and start posting.:)

Later Maniacs.......
