Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Sunday July 22

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Cycle - All Terrain with Brook Hayward. (got this DVD free with my CIA order this year). OMG......what's that saying "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". The hills on this were killer. My HR hovered around 80-90% for most of the workout. My body isn't used to cycling. Workout was 65 minutes and I burned 470 calories. Cuz it was a CIA workout...the music was good. I then did Power Squeeze for lower body/abs (wow..felt that too) and finished off with Yoga on Demand - 25 minute set and then did Ravi & Ana's Dr. House Call (new DVD) - Flexible and Free segment and Back Pain segments 25".

I'm so mad cuz I'm trying to view a rotation on T-Nation by Cosgrove called Fight Fat Real Fast and you need the current version of Macromedia Flash but when I try to download MM Flash, I get error pages on my screen. My computer has been messed up, so I usually go in thru Internet Explorer to do stuff I can't do the other way, but now THAT's NOT working either! I'll have to try to get it to work later....as I really want to view that rotation. Errrr...........

I need to figure out what rotation I'm going to start tomorrow!

Have great workouts ladies.
 
Morning ladies.

Anne - I already have a rotation, I made up my own. I start it tomorrow and I cannot wait!

I went to Wal Mart yesterday and seen that they had a weighted vest that I would really like to get. It goes up to 20# with weights you insert inside the vest. It's $50. I want to use it for pushups and for pullups. That would be the bomb!!! I need to save my money starting NOW!!!
 
Deb, alot of girls say they are great even to add 20 # to leg work..
Easier on your back..

I meant in 8 weeks when i am back and released doing a rotation with someone..may get my a** in gear..

I am heading here..
To the basement..

Morning Maniacs!

I haven't decided what I'm doing today. I think I'll try Diane Sue's tricep workout from the other day and do biceps and abs. And DH and I might go for a ride later. We'll see. It's hot out so it will be later. I'm kinda lazy right now. :p

GET THIS! I forgot to tell you guys. Remember I said DH scratched his eye? Well, long story short...for me...after the group ride DH's eye was really bothering him so I found an eye doctor that was open on a Saturday in Cheyenne DURING Cheyenne Frontier Days (an amazing feat!) - the doctor was just leaving but said he'd wait. He had glass lodged on the inside of his eyelid and it was scratching the heck out of his eyeball! The eye doctor said it was so good that he came in when he did or it would have been "catastrophic". Not sure what that meant. Ruining his vision? He had that lasik surgery when it first came out way back when so I would have hated for that to have been ruined. The doctor did say they did an excellent job on that (he did have to have it done twice but the second time was a charm). Anyway, he feels so much better. Just has to watch for infection now. He goes back tomorrow. Whew! But where the heck did glass come from in the middle of the night???

Suz, that is incredible. Sends a shiver up my spine. How did the doctor get the glass out? How did he get glass in his eye to begin with?
 
He had to like flip his eyelid inside out to find it and then take it out that way. I guess he saw all the scratches on his eyeball and knew there was something in there. It will be one of those mysteries we'll never figure out I guess. He went to bed just fine and woke up and his eye was killing him and it just kept watering and watering. I'm such a terrible wife b/c I'm thinking "Suck it up. You scratched it or something now just leave it alone" because that's what he tells me whenever I scratch my eye and it's bugging me. But then he went on the group ride and was still up in the front doing the pulling for almost the entire ride. WITH GLASS IN HIS EYE! So of course I didn't tell him I felt that way until later. :)

We came home and washed all of our sheets just to be safe. Maybe the dogs tracked it in or something? It's just so hard to say.

Hey Maniacs!!!

Did cardio coach #1 this morning. My heartrate max at 95% is 170 and everytime I get there I feel close to puking. I cannot even imagine how one gets up to the high 180's, but I guess it is according to weight, etc. Right? Still have some ab work to do this evening.
Went and seen Harry Potter. Best one of all of them in my opinion.

Lora,

It's official...ordered tickets..ready for concert in August!!!!!!!!!!! Also gonna sell off some of my perfumes to get some new ones as you said Beth has a big update coming up.
 
Hey Char - So you're hooked on CC now, ey? Good! It's addicting. :) I'm not sure what makes people's different HR's. Mine just runs high for whatever reason. Could be related to that asthma. Yesterday on the group ride it was in the upper 180's, but I didn't feel like puking. :p Good thing.

Glad to hear you liked Harry Potter.

We're going out to dinner with our friends in a bit at Old Chicago.

Just wasted my entire day trying to download macromedia flash. This stupid computer is a piece of junk. Still can't get it to work. Makes me mad.

We went to see Hostel II. It was much better than the first one. Even my DH liked it and he get's a little queasy at those graphic/gross movies. It was REALLY wild. It was playing at the dollar theatre. It's a Tarantino classic. Meg........gotta check that one out!!

Toasty - where is the concert? I saw Josh on E yesterday with his wife and baby. His wife is stunningly gorgeous.....bright blue eyes and dark hair and really nice smile and skin. She's done some acting/modeling. They showed Josh holding his little baby....looked funny. Yes, supposedly there is a big update coming. I've been having a hard time selling lately.....seems to happen everytime.

Suz -that's too much about the glass in his eye. OUCH!!!
 
Checking in again. We went to lunch after church at a barbecue place. I got an excellent salad with smoked turkey on it. I put a little ranch dressing and bbq sauce on it. I t was yummy:)

Lora, sorry you are having computer problems that can be so frustrating.

Suz, last 4th when we went camping dh hit a fly on the ceiling in our trailer. Apparently he got fiber glass in his eye hitting the ceiling. He said he got something in his eye so we flushed it out and went to bed. He could barely open it the next morning.This was on a weekend too. Everyone else had left so he attempted to drive home pulling the trailer. We finally stopped. I called dd and her and her husband came back. It was about an 1-1/2 hour drive. He drove the trailer and truck home and she took him to a friend that was a medical pa. She thought she had it taken care of and it got worse. Finally got him into the Mcgee Eye institute and they found fiberglass embedded deep into his eye. Was a great relief when he got it out.

Well maybe I am not in as good of shape when it comes to cardio, but I am doing 95% of 170, but only for the 20 seconds and then bring it down. Problem is I still feel alittle sick when done.

Lora,

Be in Columbia Maryland on the 25th of August. I got to go thru the perfumes and figure out which ones to part with..thinking about this during the Harry Potter movie. lol. My mind wanders alot. lol
