Good Morning Girls!

It is good to be back and I have missed you both. Had a GREAT TIME on the RT and NY City. Rent was okay. Not much to choose from on Monday. We walked all over the city on Monday. Went to Ground Zero, Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center (took a close up pic of Meredith Viera), walked the Brooklyn Bridge and saw rent on Broadway. Whew! Then it took us 11 hours to get home yesterday... by taxi, train, car and plane. I think I finally finished my mountain of laundry!
I plan to do some cardio this week and then start Deanie's rotation on Sunday. Maybe CF premix in a minute.
I sent you both an e-mail about the RT surprise.
Both ds's and DIL are staying here now for the time being and ds21's GF will come for a visit this weekend. Talk about a housefull!

Deanie~ Congrats to your ds for his wins and awards! He sounds like a talented baseball player and a nice guy all around. I'm not surprised with you being his mama! Sounds as if a rest week is just what you need. I would like to try find out my 1 RM this week since I wasn't planning on lifting.

Marcy~Is your interview today? Good luck! Did you hear back from the other firms?

Have a great day!

Good Afternoon

Off to the pool in a moment. Its been a very hecktic day and not fun!

No workout again today, may workout tomorrow, I have a dance workout I've never done. Doesn't look too hard- we'll see.

Gin~ your trip sounds fantastic! thanks for the email. I'm sure your full house will be wonderful did you end up working out? I did some 1rm stuff, but I'm waiting till STS is closer to do the rest. Hopefully all the kinks will be worked out

Marcy~ Hope all is going well on the job front. Any workout today?

Saw the blog update. Wondering if we are even going to have STS by October??? I am looking forward to it, but wow its taking a long time. Maybe she should have announced STS after it was starting to film, instead of so far in advance.?

I am thinking of doing the nutrition stuff on CatheNation (maybe). Have you guys seen it? I listened to the tutorial it sounds interesting.

Have a good day~

forgot to add, I'm starting the rotation on Sunday also, but then taking the weekend off, and picking up again on Monday. We are going to Philly on the 9th and 10th for my grandmas 90th birthday=)

Good Afternoon Ladies!

I was real proud of myself today. I went running and did 6 laps around the circle in our subdivision without stopping to walk (a new personal best!) I walked one lap to cool down and then did SM1. Between running and bad DOMS from yesterday's workout, I needed it.

Check out Tuesday's thread - TRACEE IS BACK!

Gin - So glad you're home. Thanks for the heads up on the surprise. Sounds like you had a great time. So did you have any trouble keeping up with the cardio on the RT? Too bad I wasn't still in NY - I worked right across the street from Rock Center.

Deanie - What dance workout will you be doing? The interview yesterday seemed to go well. She said they'll be doing interviews all this week and next week will be callbacks. I sent a thank you letter which I hope will help. I didn't get the other job probably because someone had a little more litigation experience than I did. The job yesterday is at - you guessed it - an employment litigation firm.

I would like to get STS but I'm not in a total rush for it. I feel like there's so much preparation with the 1RM thing and it's still not working right for me that it might take me a while before I'm totally ready.

I'll have to check out the Nutrition stuff.

Have a great evening!

Marcy

Hi Again!

Deanie~ I'm sorry about your hectic day. Hope that going to pool and hopefully relaxing makes things improve for you.
I haven't seen the Nutrition stuff yet. I need to take a look.
They had STS running during the RT so we were able to see some of it. I saw TONS of pushups in the one I was watching. They film the crew taking breaks and walking over to drink water and log information. The bottom of the screen shows the name of the exercise, # of reps, time left similiar to p90x.
Happy 90th Birthday to your Grandma!!
I'm going to Houston next week with ds21 to visit my family. I'll have to juggle the rotation then. Can't do weights there.

Marcy~I did see Tracee post. Wish she would be able to join us again!
NYCity is one busy place. I guess you get used to it, huh?
Congrats on the running!! WTG, girl!
No, no trouble keeping up with Cathe's workouts. She gave us water breaks and seemed to have toned it down JUST a notch. It was still challenging, but we were there to have a good time.

Take care.
