Lets Go * * * Weekend Edition

Good Morning

Today is Leaner Legs and KPC abs. I am thinking of using 30#bb instead of a heavier one, since we have worked our legs so much this week.

DS has another baseball game today, hoping the rain will hold off. Then we are off to Jersey. I will probably use my brothers power tower and try some chinups/pullups. I like using it, I can alway do more on his tower since its stable!

Gin~ Hope all is okay, I worry when you don't check in How was LL yesterday?

Marcy~ Glad to hear the unpacking is going well

***Job situation update: My director came up to me yesterday and said she is pretty sure there is a spot for me next year, she can't say more and couldn't be definate, but she did say twice in her chat with me that shes pretty sure there is a spot. I am just worried about it being with the 2 day 2s:+ not sure I want to change diapersx( I think the director can't commit just yet, and wanted to let me have some peace of mind....

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

I just did Squeeze by Tracy Effinger. I had gotten it off ebay and today was the first time I got a chance to do it. What a great total body workout with little to no weights. I started out with 3# weights and had to drop down to 2s. My legs were trembling and I'm sure I'll be feeling this one later on and tomorrow. (Deanie - the clip didn't do this one justice. The only thing that was a little distracting was when they kept changing scenery from the gym to the rooftop). I thought Tracey was excellent with regards to form and instruction and I think I might do this one 2-3x a week till the end of the month. I tried to do a pullup before but didn't quite make it yet. I'm pretty much going to keep up my Door Gym - this way I'll try to do them at any time of the day.

Tracey did an "L" series on the floor for the legs which she said her class said was "L" hell and it was.

Deanie - Hope you get the position you want. Good luck!

Gin - Hope all is well.

Have a great day!

Hi Girls!!

Sorry that I have been MIA. We could not get internet connection yesterday and this morning. Don't know what the problem was/is!!x(
Yesterday I ran and then did KPC premix #2 (combo 123 and abs). Today I did LL.
Yesterday at Ross I bought 3 new workout dvds...Janis Saffell Kickbox Strike Zone, Billy Blanks Boot Camp 1 and The New Method 20/20 Perfect Pilates. They were $4 and $5 each and I couldn't resist. Do you girls have any of these? I did TaeBo (Billy Blanks) years ago and it was challenging but I got tired of it and got rid of them. Don't know about the other 2.
The Amy Bento that I had in my NetFlix queue is supposed to come in the mail today.
I still have not recieved the Terminator that I bought off of ebay last Monday. I need to check into that.
DS21 returns from his Spain trip today and we meet him at the airport and then dh will drive with him to Florida where he lives this summer.

Deanie--How was the shabbot veggie dinner? 4ds rotation looks good, but either rotation you choose is good by me. I am easy and just glad to have someone else deciding for me!
Have a safe trip to Jersey and enjoy!
Hope you still have a job teaching 4's next year, but if it is with 2's, you may want to stay on just to stay on staff and then hope the 4's postion will be available the next year. Just a thought.

Marcy--So great to have you back!! How is the unpacking? It is a big job, isn't it?

I wrote a novel here!!
Have a great day!

Hi Again!

Gin - I have Janis' Kickbox Strike Zone. I think I did it once although I have a couple others of hers. IIRC, it's an hour long. Not as intense as Cathe but a good workout. My favorite of hers is Kick It! CIA 9907. It's only on VHS. It's very choreographed kickboxing but a lot of fun and I found her easy to follow.

I have Taebo - The original Ripped series and I found the first workout on it very intense so I really only did the second workout which was still intense but not as bad as the first. That's the only Taebo I have and I'm not really interested in getting any more of his.

We're getting through the unpacking. Problem is we don't have enough furniture yet to put everything back so some things will just be in boxes for awhile.

Today we just ordered all the furniture for our family room from LaZBoy. We got a couch to match our recliners (kind of a sage green), 2 wooden end tables and a coffee table, plants for each side of our TV, a painting and a rug. The pillows are a paisley with green, a raisin/eggplant color and cream and the rug is a cream colored print. We didn't like the lamps there so we still have to get them.

We saw quite a few bedroom sets that we liked but we're trying to hold off as long as possible since we don't have jobs yet although DH is supposed to start looking this week.

Have a great weekend!

Good Morning Ladies!

Today I did PUB (those dreaded EIGHT minutes of biceps!}( ) and then TaeBo Boot Camp1. I burned 190 calories in the 37 min. of TaeBo. It is an intermediate/advanced workout and would be good for days when I want a shorter less intense w/o. The constant counting might get old.
Got to see ds21 yesterday at the airport and a quick meal before dh drove with him to Florida. He had a great time in Spain and they went to Cannes, France during the film festival and saw a few celebrities there.

Marcy--When will your furniture come in? I'm sure you are anxious to get it. Hopefully you have some chairs to sit in and a mattress. How has the weather been there? Are your allergies better so far?

Deanie--Hope you are having a good time with your family.

Have a great day!

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Today I did Move It! Aerobic Dance Showdown 2. This was with Evolution instructors. It was a lot of fun. It was a good one to do since it was in 10 minute blocks and I'm slowly building up my stamina. I managed to do the whole thing (1 hour and 40 minutes) but with a few breaks in between. I also did the B&G stretch.

Gin - My furniture will probably take around 6 weeks until we get it. We did buy a mattress the first week and a washer and dryer. We have a bridge table and chairs until we buy a dinette set. I have a table from my grandmother which I could open up to make a dinette set to seat 12. When it's closed it's like a sofa table. The weather's been really nice except for last week when there was a tornado warning but it didn't hit us. My allergies are getting better but there's been a lot of dust with all the unpacking. I'm not sure if I'm still having a problem with my asthma because of all the carpeting in the house. The whole house is carpeted except for the family room which is a laminate wood floor and the kitchen which has white tile.

I didn't like all the counting either in Taebo but I guess to do it once in a while isn't so bad.

It's nice you got to see DS. I assume it's their honeymoon they're going on. Sounds great. I never got to ask: how was the wedding?

Hi Deanie!
