July 05 Check In for Saturday

[Boingo]

Hi Girls!

Is everyone sleeping in today??

I "did"...until 7am!! woohoo! I tell ya, kids really re-work our ideas of "sleeping in", don't they?

I'm glad today's workout was short and i switched it up with the double lower body. Saturdays I have the least movitation, because in the back of my mind is having to go to work overnights. So I did 4 Day Split: Back & Biceps. I added in a warm up (from Muscle Max) and then did the LIS stretch at the end. I lifted heavy, and have a feeling I'll "feel it" tomorrow.

Oddly enough, my legs aren't too bad today. If I stretch, they feel tight and they feel a little heavy, but no major DOMS. Isn't that crazy when that happens? I mean, my legs were SHAKING yesterday during some of those moves.

OMG, Joanne... your fireworks experience sounds like a story out of MY life! That's exactly what happens with my boys. My 4th of July memories were always my dad shooting off our own fireworks in the back yard (which used to scare the bejeesus out of me) and the kids all got sparklers (which I LOVED!). We never really went to any major display. My kids have missed out on fireworks for most years, so they don't really know what they're missing, and they didnt even ask to go this year! LOL!

Okay... off I go to clean, cook and get ready for my work weekend.!!!

Chris: My firworks experiences as a child were just like yours. When I was real little (like elementary school)We would go to my Grandma's house and they would have a big block party and my Uncle and Dad would shoot off fireworks. The kids all had sparklers and those punks (ever have those) They were suppose to be for lighting the firworks. But, we liked them. They were just sticks that you would light and they slowly burned..Fun!! As we got older, we moved to Florida and my parents had a backyard BBQ and my dad lit fireworks in the emply lot next door. Now, we watch the ones the city lights. This year it started raining during the display. Clouds blocked alot of our view. But, we did get to see some of them..

I have had that experience with workouts too. When I think I am going to be sore, I am not very bad. But, othertimes I am sore the next day and wonder why!!

Anyway, Checking in today with Bootcamp..Good sweaty mess!

Good morning! Chris, I, too, "slept in" until 7:00! Almost, I think. Funny thing is, my kids slept later -- I was almost done with my workout by the time they got up. I just couldn't stay in bed any longer.

I did 4DS Kickbox & legs. That back and biceps you did -- was that a premix? I'm a little confused about some of the things on this rotation -- I'll try to check it out at some point.

Joanne & Deb, I wrote little notes for you late yesterday's post if you get a chance to look (if you didn't see it last night).

I was sore this morning -- don't know if that was from Dove or from the BrushClearing Max Larry and I did yesterday.

Have a great day everyone!

Hey Kathy and Beth!

Hi-5's on the workouts today!! GOOD ones!

I looked at the post I started , and thought: "What the heck is July 05?" what was I thinking? July 5th? or 2005? LOL! I'm a little groggy today!...

Beth.. Yes, the back and biceps is a premix. A lot of the workouts on the rotation are 4DS premixes. Which I like, it's a different way to use 4 DS, I haven't done those too much.

Kathy... that's funny about your childhood 4ths of July being similar. I don't remember the fireworks you're talking about. But it doesn't mean we didn't have them. My mind is off today!! Sorry you didn't have the best firework experience yesterday. But I bet you guys had fun anyways...

Off for more cleaning... I'm just procrastinating...

Hi Ladies! Checking in with a glorious rest day today. Just got back from seeing "Sex in the City"......what a hoot!!!

Beth, I did see your reply about Dove. And you know I will check it out. I am totally ashamed of how many workout videos I have. I really need to hide some from myself. My collection is really overkill, there's no way I'll ever get to all of them.

But, I can try........
