Good morning all! I am back. My mom is feeling better and I'm hoping in the next few weeks her eye site will get better. She isn't seeing well at all but she does have bouts of clearity. I'm hoping those bouts will get to be more and more. Anyways, all I did last week was sit and read while taking care of my mom. I was totally lazy and did almost nothing but cook when she was hungry. I really need to get moving again. Today I did some cardio and decided to start back slowly. I chose Cardio Coach #1 and had a really good workout.

CARDIO STATS:
38 minutes total
4 minutes below zone
15 minutes in zone
20 minutes above zone
315 calories burned
2 miles traveled

I am hoping to start adding some weight traiing in. My upper back is feeling much better. I'm still afraid it will irritate it if I try to lift, but I'm really itching to get the weights back in my hands. We'll see. Maybe I'll do one weight training workout this week and see how it goes. Oh, and I'm at 139#. Never made my goal of 130# by March 27th and I'm still no where near that goal. It's my own fault, I know it. I just really wish I could get my discipline back.

Back to work....
 
Debbie, that is good news. I will keep praying that your mother's eye sight improves. It sounds like you had a nice relaxing recovery week :) It sometimes takes some work to get the discipline back. I bet that you are still have some of it anyway. Finding the motivator is usually key for me.
 
I have half of my week planned out. So, far I have this:

Monday P90X2 shoulders and arms 53 min, Insaity Pure Cardio 38 min, and X train 100 rep challenge triceps. 97 minutes

Tuesday Cathe's Low Impact Challenge Premix Extreme 71 min, P90X2 Ab Ripper 16 min, 100 rep challenge scarecrows 6 min, 93 minutes

Wednesday P90X2 Plyocide 54 min., Cathe Low Impact series Total Body Tri-sets Premix lower body JMO 38 min, 92 minutes

Thursday V sculpt(back and biceps) 53 min, Combat abs 17 min, V sculpt does have core in it with the renegade rows, curls, etc. ??

Friday P90X2 Yoga ??

Saturday P90X2 Base and Back 56 min ??
 
Roselyn, I did post here. I am copying and pasting my workout here so we can keep it all together. You might do the same since Debbie started this one :) I hope that is ok.


Ok, workout is finished. P90X2 shoulders and arms, 54 min, 261 calories. 110 rep tricep challenge :) , Insanity Pure Cardio 38 min, 346 calories. I finished with Yoga Shatki, dancing warrior 3, shoulder openers, and supiine poses. Total time was 1 hr 48 min, and caloreis 670. Shoulders and arms is done almost completely balancing on the stability ball, one leg, or one foot on a box. I was able to go heavier which was nice. This one is in the strength phase. I need to finish up planning the workouts for this week. I will try to get that done this afternoon.

Roselyn, I thought I posted what I was going to do for at least the next 3 days. I must have posted on last week or forgot to submit it. I worked in the yard all weekend. Carted 40# bags of potting stuff around, dug holes, and planted 9 rose bushes and grapevines. Did weeding. It felt good to get out in the sunshine :D
 
Today I did yoga and I chose Bryan Kest's Energize. I love this workout but I'm really getting sick of yoga. Tomorrow I'm going to do some light weight training.

Was there a Hardcore thread for this week already started? I'm sorry if there was! I try not to double post but I looked through the threads and didn't see one.
 
My back has finally stopped hurting and today I did 30 min. of The Wedding Video and later Yoga Relax premix 1. I think that is 30 min. too.

Diane, Great job on P90X2 shoulders and arms, the 110 rep tricep challenge, Insanity Pure Cardio and finishing with Yoga Shatki and burning 670 calories. Balancing on the stability ball most of the way proves you are very strong. Congrats on going heavier with the strength phase. I'm interested to see how you plan your next weeks workouts.

Deb, So glad your Mom is doing better. Will pray that it continues. Starting slowly on working out again is very smart. As you know it will prevent injuries. I too have to come back slowly as well. Great job on yoga with Bryan Kest's Energize. Good to see you are planning some light weight training tomorrow. You have muscle memory so it won't take as long as you think to get back into things. At least that's what I hear.

Roselyn, How ya doing?

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
My workout is done:) This morning I did Low Impact Series Low Impact Challenge Extreme Premix, 71 min, 584 calories. I then did X train 100 rep challenge scarecrows. 6 min, 29 calories. I finished with P90X2 Ab Ripper 17 min, 71 calories. Total time was 94 min and calories burned 684.

Debbie, you started the first one and I posted on it then it kind of got lost way down the line. It's Ok. I just moved my post over here so we could keep it together on one thread with out mix ups. Yoga workouts don't change a whole lot. I guess some are more relaxing and some are more energetic. Sometimes I find myself getting into it and sometimes I keep looking at the clock.
 
Today I did some lifting. I decided to do supersets to get more in. I went with moderate weight and had a great workout. The hour flew by. I wish I had more time, I wanted to do abs and a little shoulder work.

1 minute rest between each superset.

SS #1
Squats - 55# 3 sets/10 reps
Dumbbell Bench Press - 15's 3 sets/12 reps

SS #2
Static Lunges - 12's 3 sets/10 reps
Dumbbell Flyes - 15's 3 sets/12 reps

SS #3
SLDL - 20's 3 sets/10 reps
Incline Barbell Press - 55# 3 sets/12 reps

SS #4
Plie Squats - 30# 3 sets/10 reps
Incline Flyes - 15's 3 sets/10 reps

Overhead Tricep Extension - 20# 3 sets/10 reps

SS #6

I should have cut one of the chest exercises and added in another bicep. Oh well, I had a good workout. Shoulder feeling ok.

Today I did P90X 2 Plyocide, 54 min, 370 calories, then Low Impact series Total Body Trisets lower JFO premix 38 min, 254 calories. 100 rep hip thrusts, 6 min 25 cal. I finished off with Les Mills Pump Flow 20 min, 51 calories. Workout was 1 hr 58 min with the yoga and 700 calories.
I still need to decide what cardio I want tomorrow. Something less impact and not too long.

Roselyn, nice work ;)

Debbie, nice job on the weights. I hope that this time getting back into weights is good for you. Did you ever see a doctor about the problems you have had?
 
Today was cardio and although my left knee is bothering me, I wanted to get something in. I chose Cardio Coach #3 and did well with it. I just cannot get sick of these workouts. I love my Cardio Coaches!

CARDIO STATS:
40 minutes total
4 minutes below zone
16 minutes in zone
21 minutes above zone
335 calories burned
2 miles traveled

Today is my mom's follow-up appointment. I hope she gets the staples out.

Diane Sue - I did have an appointment scheduled for a spinal series of xrays but had to cancel due to my mom's surgery being pushed to that Friday. I'll have to make another appointment but so far, it's feeling pretty good. Even after my workout yesterday. :)
 
I altered my plan today. I realized after looking at the exercises that base and back was lower jumping stuff and back so I did V Sculpt instead which is back and biceps, 54 min, 246 calories. I then did Les Mills Combat Core Attack 17 min, 70 calories, and finished with 4 Day Split Lower Intensity step cardio only permix, 36 min, 250 calories. Total time was 1 hr 47 min and calories burned 564.

Debbie, I am glad to hear that you are not experiencing any problems.

Janie, how are you doing? Is tha back staying better?
 
Today I felt like doing a little more than yoga so I got on my treadmill and just did a brisk walk at a 2% incline for a mile. Then I did Yoga Stretch by Karen Voight. It was perfect for today.

My mom's appointment went good. They took her staples out and said all the things she is feeling right now is normal. She's really tired all the time and just seems depressed to me. I hope she gets out of that state soon, it worries me. Her eye site isn't any better and the doctor said he couldn't figure out why it didn't get better. If it doesn't get better in a month or so, I'm going to take her to my eye doctor and see what she says. I've been wanting mom to see her for some time now. Please keep saying prayers for her. We really appreciate it!
 
Today was Cardio Core Circuit Express Circuit 34 min, 250 calories. I then did P90X2 Yoga 68 min, 231 calories. I wanted to check out my Yoga Max replacement dvd so I used the chapter menu and did these segments: active plank, chair into triangle weries, balance poses and abdominal work, 18 min, 50 calories. I spent 2 hrs and calories burned was 531.

Debbie, I am glad that your Mom is better. I will continue to pray for her and her eyesight. That is probably what is making her seem depressed.
