Good Morning, Kathy!
You go on Plyo legs! Is this the first time you're doing it outside of the 3 month STS rotation? Let us know how it goes!
Beth: I gotcha on having the sitter with the 'deer glaze' before she started. Just wanted you to know I knew the look too! LOL!... That's nice she took them to the park! How old is she?... Greg is going to put up the pool tomorrow, he's off tonight..
Joanne: Ya, well, there are so many things at work that make me wonder how I've done this for 20+ years! But my friends and I have good "nurse humor" about most of it. It gets us through.... I've still got to watch the 2nd hour of The Bachelorette, I saw something online about Wes' "slip and confession". So I'm eager to see it! (go outside and play, boys!!).
I'm heading downstairs to do Jari Loves Ripped. Remember I got it for $5 at the supermarket check out? I haven't done it yet, so today the shrink wrap comes off!
BBL!!!

Hi All
Yesterday I played w/ the Wii Active and boy was it fun and good - I was surprised but I got my HR up there.
Today the dh is off work and we are just about to step out and do some running around.
I haven't been very chatty lately since I have lots to do plus the phone is constantly ringing getting ready for my mom's visit in a few days
Catch ya'll on FB

Good morning! Vilma, that's right -- your mom's here -- enjoy the visit!! Fun, playful workout you had, it sounds like.
Chris, let us know how you like the Jari. I always think I should go back and do some Jari but I just can't face it. She's so monotonous! Yay on the pool -- that'll be fun.
Kathy, yes, let us know how the plyo went. I had kbell on my calendar for today, but after those heavy weights yesterday, I decided a stretch would be better. So, I did an hour of that. Kettlebells tomorrow.
Sounds like we are not going camping afterall, so I will find out what my 5k time is this weekend.
Have a great day, everyone! We're off to piano lessons, the libraries, and swim lessons.

::yawn:: have I ever told you guys that I really dislike having to drive through any LA event in the week because its invariable right next to my campus? well, I do...
We got up early to try to workout before getting into work but both of us were just exhausted. Actually that's how we were like yesterday in our recovery day. I was pretty sad because I ended up doing 4DS KB (which rocked) but I couldn't really do the new push cycle because my back was really tingling. I was pretty annoyed because I had laid off weight work for a couple days in a row since the doc told me about the "muscle fatigue" but then Joe reminded me that I did most of the painting and I probably used my back a lot for it. So, I'm not sure if I should take a week break from heavy lifting or not. Not that I wouldn't mind a cardio junkie recovery week but I really wanted to get back to be more disciplined (in something since there's been no discipline in my diet!). Anyway, super exhausted this morning, we slept in an extra hour and then rushed in our morning stuff so we could get to work before traffic clogs up all of LA. I brought my gym clothes into work with me but I'm debating about waiting until I get home to do something more intense since I'll be getting home early. We'll see...and of course I wouldn't mind your thoughts on if I should take a break from heavy lifting or not...
Kathy -- have fun with plyo legs! I hear great things about that one...
Chris -- enjoy Jari (though the woman scares me a little bit). I know what you mean about that nurse humor. If you didn't have it, you couldn't do your job! One of Joe's friends came over and realized that I was the one that goes and picks up all of Evee's poo and he was just flabbergasted that I didn't squeal about it (and that Joe sorta did). You ever hear that poo song from the Scrubs muscial episode? Ok ok ok, I'll stop talking about poo!
Vilma -- does Wii Active require the balance board like the Wii fit? I'm always looking for new games for my nieces (and for myself though :: sniff :: I didn't touch a single video game all weekend.)
Beth -- have a fun day! Did I tell you that I thought maybe we could purchase a piano in the next year and get formal lessons. With Joe and I working the way we do, we have so little music in our lives and I was thinking something new and formal might bring it in...
Ohh...too sleepy to do experiments yet...going to surf the web for ONLY 20 minutes...

Hi ladies. Kind of bummed - no workout today. I was going to get up and do maybe Supersets or some other total body, but Caitlyn got me up a few times last night (think she's getting the cold from hell) and I was too tired. Figured I would do a run during lunch, but we had a meeting that ran long. If I don't get to the gym by 11:30, all the treadmills are taken. Oh well! My car wouldn't start this morning, so I'll be walking home from the train. So at least there's that!
Hottie, things must be crazy there in LA. I can't imagine. I'd take a break from heavy lifting for a few more days and then see how you feel. Maybe you don't need a whole week, but you don't want to aggravate your back even more.
Beth, good luck with the 5K this weekend!
Vilma, I think we have the Wii Active game - is it the one with skiing? Have fun with your mom!
Chris, I made it through about an hour of the Bachelorette before I fell asleep. So, I'll have to try to get to the last half tonight. I hope she gets rid of the weasel!! How was the Jari workout? Did you see Mindy has two new workouts? One is for the Bosu and one is called WORKOUT! There's not much description on her website, though.
Kathy, how was Plyo Legs? Maybe that's one I'll try to fit in before we leave.
Back to work....

What a day! Hottie, did you get caught in the Staples traffic? What a mess that must have been!!! I'm sure your back is hurting from painting, I hate to say it -- maybe you should do cardio for a few days at least.
Joanne, sorry to hear about your workout -- how was the walk from the train? Is your car ok?
I got the "Racing in the Rain" book today -- I love it! I think that is one book that I may finish in less than a month! Actually, I'm hoping to finish it quickly so Larry can read it before it's due -- I'm not all that far into it, but I think he'd like it too.
Got to go tend dinner......

Hey guys!
Going to shut the puter down, and I didn't get to stop in earlier..so thought I'd say HI!
I thought Get Ripped was ok!... Some of the weights she used seemed light, so I went a little heavier, but man, oh man, she cranked out the reps for forever! I'd do it again, i think , but not "in love" with it, like Cathe's...
My arms started getting wicked DOMS from using the weighted gloves yesterday for Cardio party 3. The back , more like my 'lats'... OUCH!
Beth: Yeah for getting to do your 5K this weekend afterall! Oh I'm excited you're reading and liking "Racing in the Rain"!!! Isn't it great? ...
Vilma: The Wii games are definite workouts! I did them when I broke my toe last year... the boxing.. WOAH! watch out!
Hottie: Hope you missed that crappy traffic! I can only imagine! Yep! 4DS cardios are good TOUGH 30 minute workouts! Oh yeah..your back would definitely be sore from all that painting!...Jari is a little "scary" looking, I agree!
Joanne: Oh no! Hope Caitlyn doesn't get too sick! How are the boys doing now? I hate when things get too tight to get in a workout you WANT to do. , I still have to watch the 2nd half of The Bachelorette too! I dont' even know who got booted yet (wishing for wes!). .. I didn't see Mindy's new workouts, will have to check that out. Are they out yet, or COMING out?
waiting for Rescue Me to come on. Gotta get my Denis Leary fix for the week!

Checking in late again...
Beth and Chris, I'm going to start "Racing in the Rain" tomorrow! I just finished the third Twilight book and am going to take a break from vampires with a nice dog book. I'll get the 4th Twilight after vacation.
Chris, that Ripped workout I think is Jari's first so it's supposed to be the "easiest". I have all her workouts and they are OK. The later ones are pretty tough. But she reps you to death. I don't think Mindy's workouts are out yet - it's a presale. I got an email about it. They are on her web site. www.fitflix.com, I think. Otherwise, google her name and you can find her web site. I'm going to try to finish the Bachelorette tonight and then catch Rescue Me tomorrow. Love that show!
Beth, the walk was good - and the car is fixed, so all is good! Needed a new battery.
So far Caitlyn is just stuffy, no fever or cough. We'll be bringing the nebulizer and Motrin with us, just to be safe.
Have to go wake up DH for work...
