Hello all!
It's the first day of February!
I started my new CTX rotation.
OH NOOOOOOOOOO, say it isn't so, say it isn't so!!!
Okay, Leaner Legs has the song that I hate..no, no, the song that I REFUSE to workout to. That SUCKS! So now I have to figure something else out for leg day. Why does leg day always have to be so hard! LOL. Seriously, I HATE the song. And it's like in every freakin workout I have.
Really, it's the song.
So I grumbled through Leaner Legs knowing that this would be my first and probably last run through it. Well, that's a bit of an "untrue" because I couldn't take the song to the end, so I finished it a little early. They even slowed down the song for this workout so it's even more painful for me to listen to. Then I followed it with half an hour of cardio.
And my green glop.
Diane - How great to have an upset stomach and that a bagel would be a remedy! Sounds like you're enjoying the beginnings of you pregnancy!
Terri - I'm starting to think that my smoothie actually does NOT taste good, but I've come so far in my smoothie experiments that this tastes delicious to me and only me LOL. I had been drinking smoothies after lifting for some months when a friend of mine suggested I throw in some greens. Who'd have known that would grow into 2 cups? And I totally can't taste the greens...As for the chocolate raisin, he's living under my washing machine for a couple years now with no hopes of a rescue. But I've come to accept him being there, and no doubt he loves his privacy. Or at least, I can only assume he's there hanging out, unless he's moved away, or morphed into something else. Oh gawd. Next subject....It is I who lives in Tokyo with a Nintendo obsessi -- hobby. I'm not familiar with Madden. But the title rocks! LOL...I wasn't expecting so many of you guys to say you felt the same about the 90 degree angle thing. I'm both relieved and now curious as to why so many of us have problems with that! Does everyone have problems with that? What's the deal?
Dana - LOL, I've been doing about 8 min of abs 3 times a week as an add-on, but now I want to focus on doing a 30 min abs day 2 times a week. But maybe I'm thinking too big...Cardio Fusion, eh? Hmm. Maybe I'll look at the sample. Hee.
Arista - Wouldn't you have loved to have been born with ultra-long and slender limbs? I always wonder how that might be. Ahhhh...But hey, you've got the German blood in you! I wish I knew an answer for your lifting heavy or lifting light. I am an apple and didn't see any kind of results lifting light. But then again I don't like lifting light with lots of reps, so maybe I just didn't WANT to see results for fear of having to keep up endurance workouts LOL. But as Jen mentioned, the usual consensus on the light VS heavy theory, is that if you don't want to gain bulk, you should lift light. "But muscle is more condense than fat" you say? I guess the idea is that if you lift heavy and are making muscle, if you're not losing the fat then you're adding muscle to fat, which will look bulkier than just the fat (as the muscle 'pushes out' the fat). And if you don't lose the fat, it will be more difficult to see the muscle tone.
Did I just write that? Don't listen to me. LOL.
Jen - Oooh, a chipped disc! All right, c'mon, tell us the story!...As for Quattro the frog, he's a character in my village in my Nintendo world.
-- Note to you new members of Hatesville -- I hope I'm not totally scaring you with my Nintendo talk. I thought I'd slip in a good word for myself (LOL) to assure you that I actually do live a real life outside of my Nintendo. :*
Anyway, the superman thing can be done on the floor, on the step or on the ball, or just on the step if you forget that you can do the exercise on the floor or on a ball, like me. When using the step, Cathe tells you to put a towel on the edge of it and have your pubic bone off the edge. Then you raise your legs into the air and proceed to rub your hip bones raw LOL. It's totally painful but not for the right reasons. I'm definitely going to switch to the ball.
Anyway, have a great start to your new month!
