Happy Sunday!
I looked at my rotation and was surprised to find that today was a rest day! So surprised in fact, that I did 30 minutes of cardio nevertheless. Yes, that surprised.
And it's a good thing, because I met a friend for lunch. He's in town on business and he wanted to go to a restaurant he'd gone to years ago, so we searched unsuccessfully until I was so famished that I was ready to eat just about anything.
And anything turned out to spell deep-friedthing.
So I'll consider that my major cheat meal. Not that I count anymore. Heh.
Robin - Hope you have a great time in Finger Lakes! Why on earth is it called Finger Lakes? Should I ask?...Step Heaven is the one you think is most complex? Okay, I'll leave that one for later LOL.
Dana - So what do you suppose comes included in that $15 cover charge for the chocolate festival?...You know, I kind of did enjoy the Core Max. I don't have a medicine ball, so I've never really done #3. Or maybe I did do it and tried holding a weight, but it didn't work for some of the exercises or something like that...Do you remember when Martin Short was on Saturday Night Live? He had a sketch where he would dance around flailing his arms in the air with his shoulders scrunched up and his legs going round and round? I think his hair was a la Alfalfa from The Little Rascals. Somehow I vision him when I vision myself dancing LOL....Your mom probably wants to look after both of your boys, but maybe she doesn't feel confident on being able to keep a watchful eye on both, and doesn't want to fail in the responsibility. Hopefully your MIL will be able to take those guys on.
Arista -
>I'll have to try that gym style workout series. Does it require any special equipment (besides step, dumbbells, and weighted bar?)
It requires mongo muscles. LOL. Or at least mongo patience during the pushups section. If you think you hate pushups now, just you wait!....LOL about your own chocolate festival. What'd you buy at the store? Hmm? Hmm? We want details. Okay, well, I want details....
Jen - I hope you had a great time bumming around! Did your house get clean or did your sofa get warm?...The story about your grandmother was touching. What a great way to pass away. She must have felt so calm with her family there and you holding her hand to comfort her.
Terri - Holy moly, I would not fare well in those wind-chills. You must be wearing all the clothing you own!...I hate planks so much that I've just given up on them. I figure I'm exercising, and there are plenty of things I like to do, so why torture myself? Cathe has them in so many of her workouts. I guess they must be really great for you. Urgh. I probably should force myself to do them....I'd love to help you with your song, but unfortunately, I don't have the new series so I can't give it a listen. Does the song have any intelligible words in it? How did you explain the song to the DJs and the guy at Big Beat?
Christi is a step and hi-lo instructor, and she is known for her dancy, complex choreography. Now, if someone had written that a year ago, I'd have stayed faaaaaaaaaaar away from the woman, but in fact, she's a total blast. These words coming from a (former
) cardio hater! Something about her personality and routines really click with me, and I am forever grateful to her for opening up a cardio door for me!...Oh, Deuce is totally cute! I had a big boy dog who came to join our family after we had our three girl cats, and he was clearly the lowest rank, poor guy. If he'd get too hyper, our oldest cat would go and swat him one....Last year when I was really into kickboxing, I got a jump rope that had a special function that told you how many jumps you'd taken because I thought it would be fun and I would be cool. I returned it a week later. The function was obviously BROKEN. LOL. All right, so it wasn't broken, but the jump rope was possessed or something.
On that note, work, here I come! Have a nice Sunday!
