Morning Maniacs-

Wow -it's late.......I really overslept and the DH was sleeping too (on the couch downstairs) and failed to let me know my alarm had been going off for an hour and half!! Yikes. I'm gonna do some lite aerobics practicing my complex step and then some restorative yoga.....semi rest day.

I'll be back later..........have a good Saturday morning everyone. It's snowing like crazy here............sick of the snow. Spring is in a few days!
 
I thought everyone would have been here by now!

I ended up doing Hip Hop Abs - Level 1 & Ab Sculpt 50" ...kept it moderately light and burned 300 calories. I also did Yoga in the Garden of Serenity 60".

Off to do my normal Saturday routine. I think we're going to Premonition today with Julian McMahon (the dude from Nip/Tuck & Charmed - love him)and Sandra Bullock.

I'm worried about Pandora today. She snubbed her nose at treats this morning and won't eat when I set her by the food bowl. Yesterday, everytime I set her down over there, she nibbled a little bit. I hope she's not starting to decline cuz her kidneys aren't kicking in. She's been very vocal to both me and my DH and we both wish we knew what she's trying to tell us!

Have great workouts or rest days. I'll be back later.
 
Hi Ladies
This Morning I did gym style Chest and triceps.

Lora I'm sorry to hear about your cat not acting right. I will be praying for her. Let me know how the movie was I want to see it.

Have a great St. Patty's Day
Going to the parade and to some bars

This morning was a puke-status workout. Yikes! Really worked it hard this a.m. Did chest, tri's and abs. This is Phase 3 week 6, high reps 2 minutes rest (thank God for the 2 min. rest!) I hate high reps, this was tough for me:

Chest:
Barbell Press: 85# - 1 set/15 reps; 1 set/12 reps; 80# - 1 set/14 reps
Incline Dumbbell Press: 35's - 1 set/12 reps; 30's - 2 sets/15 reps
Decline Dumbbell Press: 25's - 2 sets/20 reps
Incline Dumbbell Flye: 20's - 1 set/20 reps; 22's - 1 set/20 reps

Tri's:
Close Grip Barbell Press: 60# - 1 set/14 reps; 1 set/12 reps; 55# - 1 set/12 reps
Dips: 55# - 2 sets/12 reps
Lying Dumbbell Extensions: 12's - 2 sets/20 reps

Abs:
Cardio & Weights (love this ab workout!)

I have never been so happy to be done with a workout as I was this morning! LOL! I'm wiped out! Now I'm getting ready to go out to lunch with my mom and we're going shopping at Macy's! Yay!

Have a great workout everyone!
 
Good morning Peeps!

It's so quiet around here today. Lora - I'm so sorry about Pandora. I wish we could understand what our babies were saying to us. I hope she feels better soon. :(

I'm getting ready to do a CC. Not sure which one. Maybe today I'll do #5. When I'm finished I'll tell you it's my favorite. :p I was going to ride with my girlfriend but it's windy. It's about 60 degrees but 17mph winds and it keeps getting windier. Darn it! Maybe tomorrow. I'll have to do the elliptical since my trainer bike is flat again. We need to go get that other tire at the bike shop and we forgot yesterday.

I was off yesterday for spring break. Students had the week off and they gave staff Friday off. Not a bad deal since they could have given us nothing. They treat us really well. Some people complain constantly but they have no idea how great we have it. I always tell them to go work in the private sector and then come back and talk to me about how poorly they think they're treated!

Happy workouts or rest days to you all!

Off to the basement...

Lora - Did you see the pet food recall on OD that is causing kidney failure in cats and dogs? I don't know what kind of food you feed your cats but thought it was worth a look.

I finished my workout. Slept in so got done late. Yesterday's workout was Kickmax W/up and cardio wearing weighted gloves, Butt Buster workout, then the Pump & str portion of Amy Bento's Cardio Pump Step.
Butt workout was
Squats 12 reps 75#
super set with 20 plie squats no weight
Walking lunge 15 reps 20# dumbbells
superset with 20 side jump squats
Step Ups 15 reps 25# dumbbells
superset with side reverse lunge 20reps
romanian deadlift 12 reps 75#
superset with hip extensions 20 reps each side
Todays workout was Cardio Coach #3 going till I reached 6 miles, Tracey Staehle core conditioning adding resistance in some areas, then Eoin Finn's PY4H magically hips stopping at 30 minutes. Now we are getting some things done in the garage and around the house. Enjoy your Saint Patricks day:)

Suz, I caught part of that last night about the pet food but did not hear what brand. I usually always use Nutro. If I have to get it elsewhere it is IAMS. I don't like Iams to much. I think it has to much filler. Do you know which food it is?

Debbie, I do so much better with low rep workouts. High reps are hard for me. I push myself to do them though for the crosstraining benefit. The rotation I just finished had high reps in it. I think it probably burned a lot of calories:) I think I am going to start the M&F one Monday. I may find myself adding to it in some places. I will see.

Lora, I am sorry Pandora is not eating well. Poor kitty. So you are going out of town in April? If you aren't working yet it would be a good time to go ahead and get a vacation.

Charlotte, you are getting in some good workouts along with all of the packing. I prefer to do Pyramids down too. I can go heavier at the start than if I am already getting fatigued when I want to go my heaviest.

No w/o again today. Still fried. I had better rest it or i am defeating the purpose.Can't wait till this is over...


Dallys, for those cookies.. Did you buy canned cooked beans???
I going shopping tomorrow and gonna make some. Think you could add a little flax seed??

Char, what a workout woman.
Hi Suz.
Deb, i know , high reps stink. It is much easier to do 6 tough than 20 that are firing after 10...
Dallys, makin homemade whole wheat chicken Jalapino pizza... MMMM
Hope it comes out(raises right).

We got 6" snow.Enough to make a mess of things.
Mr. Clean pressure washed my truck before i put it in the garage. LOL....

We got a couple movies.
I am going to play with grandson...
 
Hey Maniacs! Just got back from my Mt. Bike ride. We went for 2 hr. and I burned 711 calories. This was a good tough ride. I kept thinking about Jan Ulrich's legs while I was climbing and by end of summer, mine will be at least that big, I'm sure.:p

Great workouts everyone! We are kicking a$$!

Anne- I bought cooked canned northern white beans, don't drain. I'm sure you could add some flax seed. let me know how you like them. DH is making pizza tonight too! Chicken jalepeno sounds great and HOT!}(

Diane Sue- here is a link to the recalled Dog foods. Nutro is on there.

Suz& Dallys, thanks for the info. I use dry food most of the time. If I use the canned food it is usually to get medicine down or for a treat. I do have some of the Nutro and it is dated for the date range but the upc code is not the same. As little of the canned food as they get I would doubt it would cause a lot of problem. But I do want to be safe.

Thanks for the cat food info.........my cats eat dry food also. Pandora did end up nibbling a bit here and there. She's still acting okay.....so maybe she just wasn't very hungry today. She is drinking a TON, but she was dehydrated.

The movie was really good.......except I would have made the ending different....don't want to give too much away!

Got the Speedbody workout today........says you can lose 5 pounds in 5 days doing their diet (which is not that bad) and this workout 5 days in a row. I'll try it this week before I start Barry's. I'm curious.......but I can't follow the menu as my stove is still not working..........too bad I don't have that private chef yet!! LOL.

Diane Sue - yes, DH feels he's been stressed at work and when I get a new job, I won't be able to take a vacation for a year cuz I'll be new. I hope I can go and have a good time .......as I haven't been in a very happy mood lately due to the lack of jobs in the paper, etc. I heard from a friend on the West Coast that the economy just started doing really well over there.......maybe the trend will spread this way soon.
