June 08 Rotation Checkin Monday 16th

[Kathy36]

Good morning ladies!!

Yesterday ended up being a rest day..Just ran out of time. We went to visit with my parents who drove up on Wednesday with their travel trailer. They were staying in an RV park in a local state park area. The kids went swimming and we BBQ'd..Nice day!!!

Today I got the kids up and took them for their 1/2 mile run and then we did situps and pushups and Amy Bento's stretch segment #2 off abs & stretch. It was great..Then, I did Supersets with Cathe!!

Now it is shower time and some errands. It is suppose to thunderstorm here later today. So, Chris' baseball game may be cancelled. His team is playing in the championship game. If his team wins this game, they win the tournament. If they loose, they play another game with this team and that winner would be the tournament champs. so, they really have 2 chances to win. But, I hope they win the first time..

Anyway, talk to you later...

Good morning! I did MM upper body + core today -- nice workout.

Good luck with the baseball, Kathy. Hope the weather holds.

One more day with MIL. We're all staying at a hotel near the airport tonight since the flight is so early. Insanity. It'll be so nice to have the house back.

Hi all!

Kathy, I know I said this before, but I just think it's so great that you get your kids up to work out with you! Setting such a good example! How was Supersets? I've had that for ages, but don't think I've ever done it. I know it's coming up in the rotation, but I'm so far behind! Good luck to Chris' baseball team!

Beth, I'm sure you'll be glad to have life back to normal again.

We went away this weekend, to Nashville, Indiana. DH set the whole thing up. We stayed at a ranch that was really kind of cool. The rooms were built over a horse barn complete with horses! The kids really had a good time. They just went off and played on their own with some other kids they met there. They had a bluegrass festival that we went to for a few hours Saturday. Not my thing, but it was Father's Day weekend, so we all went along with it! The town had lots of neat little shops and restaurants. Saw lots of horses, cows, etc. - packed alot in for a short weekend! Oh, and we found a stray calve walking around the road. We got out of the car and tried to catch him. Oh, how I wish I had the camera rolling when DH was trying to wrestle him to the ground. He got away, but the kids were able to direct him back to the field where he lived. Quite an interesting experience for my city kids!

Anyway, no workouts this weekend. My eating got off track, but I figured it would with traveling. Back to it today! I did BodyMax upper body twice premix. It wasn't as tortureous as I thought! I might go for a treadmill run or walk during lunch - we'll see. I'm not sure if I'll do the 4DS kickbox/boot camp premix tomorrow or sub something else.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Thanks Joanne!! That is kind of you to say..I am trying to get them more motivated to exercise. They aren't the athletic types..at least Lauren isn't yet..But, we are working on that!! Sounds like your get away was great...Hubby likes to plan all kinds of fun things. He is planning for a side trip to a train getaway in PA on the way to visit his parents in September. Sounds fun. We actually have alot of fun when he plans stuff. But, I try not to tell him too much. He may get a big head from it;-)

Beth: Thanks..the weather looks good now. But, it is suppose to get stormy later. I would love to get that game in today!!
I love having company too. But it is so nice to get the house back to normal. My parents left this morning. But, they weren't staying here. But, I did have them over during the day and our schedule were all different to sccomodate them..

Hey !!

I forgot to check in this afternoon after my workout.

I did the Upper Body Premix from MM and Abs! Good workout! I felt , "worked"!

I really like this rotation, because I like doing upper body weights on mondays,when I'm pooped from the weekend. Even though I go heavy and push myself, it is easier to do than an intense cardio or lower body, when I'm tired.

Joanne... sounds like a fun weekend!!

Kathy.... We have thunderstorms here too. I have a feeling you were rained out tonight ? Your gym class with the kids sounds like fun!! I should do something like that with the boys over the summer. Actually, our local park that I run at, has a "family run" on tuesday evenings. It's through the trails at the park. I REALLY want to do that too! and it's free!

Beth.... I totally understand your cookie "issues" this weekend. I would have been totally out of control too! And it's all about the smell and the batter of baking. My husband brought home store baked GIANT choc. chip cookies for the boys today, and I have so much more control over them!

Hope you have a nice evening... And stay safe!
