Hi Ladies!

I sure hope this isn't the death of our thread. I promise I will continue to post!

I got my haircut yesterday and did some clothes shopping. Got lots of good deals! Things are so much cheaper down here! I got a couple of dresses and a few tops.

I went dancing last night - Salsa lessons and during open dancing, I did some East Coast Swing and Rumba. I'm really loving these classes and learning a lot.

Today I did 2 chinups so far. I hope to do Pure Barre later.

Gin - The others I work with are very nice. It is similar to the work I was doing in NY but constuction litigation is different than what I'm used to. I'm sure it will all be the same once I get started. It is a much smaller firm (40 attys compared to over 200 in my old office) and I have to do a lot more things myself rather than having service depts. do things for me. Other than that, it's pretty much the same.

Deanie - Thanks for the e-mail from Linda. 5 sets of 12 reps sounds like a lot for me. It sounds more like endurance. I like more of the 2-3 set variety with 8-10 reps. I'm working in the downtown area which is about 30-35 mins. from home (with traffice maybe an extra 10 mins.) which is about 30 mins. shorter than my commute in NY. I think it's great your DS is still thinking about doing baseball in college.

DH didn't find anything yet but he's going to another agency tomorrow. He went there Friday but they needed more forms of ID which he didn't have with him.

Have a great day and I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!

Hi Ladies!

This morning I started my 2nd week of the pushup challenge and then did PP chest and back and 4ds chest and back. I skipped all of the pushups in 4ds except for the decline. I ran out of time b/c we had to be at church early today but now I plan to do assisted pulls and chins and 4ds BC.
Tomorrow after school I have a 3:45 new teacher mtg and a 5:30 new teacher dinner. I also have a 4:30 dr's appt, but I will have to cancel that. I don't think I can do all of that.

Deanie~Are you getting more rain today? Is today your rest day?

Marcy~Can you wear the same type of clothing to this job? I haven't been clothes shopping in a while and I could use some new things. Glad you are enjoying the dancing. Have you ever taught? Hope you continue to enjoy your new job!

Have a great day!

Hi girls

I cant believe I am the last to check in today! Sunday is my run around day! good thing its also my scheduled rest day.

Gin~ enjoy your busy day tomorrow. Wow you did alot of workouts today!! No more rain for us today, just beautiful sunshine that we are enjoying! Hope you are enjoying your day!

Marcy~ How does your hair look? Did you do anything fun like highlights? Your office sounds nice- sometimes smaller is better I like the 2-3 sets with 8-10 reps too, but I have noticed I look better (more cut) when I do endurance, so I am going to do more of it. Since neither you or Gin are interested in the rotation, and I don't think I will do it. I don't have the motivation to go it alone and no one to "follow"/ no instructor; I think I will do full body endurance till STS comes. (I really liked last months rotation)

I will start a new thread tomorrow morning for us (or you guys can if you beat me to it) I'm happy to continue the thread!

Have a great evening

Hi Ladies!

I can't get to sleep so I'm checking in. In case I don't get to check in until much later tomorrow, I plan on doing Pure Barre and a premix from Amy Bento's In The Ring. She had a new workout come out called Rumble but I decided to hold back and not do the preorder. It has a heavy bag workout on it but since I don't have one, I decided to skip it. It also has a regular kickboxing workout on it; a little more low impact and easy to pick up. She also had Advanced Step Challenge 3 come out but I'm going to try and trade for it or get it later on (I still have her first two to work on). I'm so proud of my self-restraint! I finally realized I have so many workouts to enjoy that I haven't done the ones that I have enough.

Deanie - Didn't do highlights but need to get them done next time I get a haircut. Just a little shorter; easier to style now. I'm sorry I couldn't join you in the rotation but I'm enjoying my rotation this month and I also do better following someone than going it alone.

Gin - Dress at work is business casual so I can wear the same type of clothes I wore in NY. I also went shopping again today and got a few pairs of slacks and some more tops. I've never taught but maybe I will in the future. Hope your day isn't too stressful tomorrow.

Enough of my rambling. I'm going to try and get some sleep. Have a good day tomorrow!
