Hi babes! We poured rain today! 
So my hair is back to getting destroyed and I made an emergency call to my hairdresser to set an appt. to chop it! I can go longer in the summer, shorter in the winter. We're just too wet here and my hair likes to frizz, grrr!
Good for you to put clothes away Rhea, I just take over every bit of closet space I can grab! On the panyhose thing Lita, some of my skirts just can't be worn with boots so I gotta suffer in them. But if I can get away without wearing them, I definitely do!
Enough of that diatribe! We've gotten down to 41 or so at night so far, not quite to 37 yet. Brrrr Lita! We're supposed to be in the 60s and sunny again next week. I'm still gonna get my hair chopped though!
Lita, were you meaning to start Meso 3 after the time change next March? I was looking at my calendar today trying to see if I could do it this fall so I could get the Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks to be rest weeks but the timing won't work. So if you want to start STS in January, I can do that. Will that work for you? And would it work for you Rhea?

Tracy - Good heavens, I don't wear boots and I still don't wear pantyhose! It's sandals and no hose all summer long, baby . Oh my NO !!! I need to do Meso 3 when I still get the "extra" hour of sleep this fall/winter. I can guarantee I will NOT be doing it for quite some time after we go to DST in the way early spring. It still torques me they've made it even longer !

So, Jan? Sounds good to me. I might even be off the "well, I guess I'll workout kick" by then.
Nothing for me yet today. Got tons of house cleaning to do, but I think I will try and take a break and squeeze in Burn Circuit #2. It is not that long and I can just do it........is it working? I don't know. Have I convinced you that I'm going to workout? Probably not, huh? Okay, I will do it......

Yep, it tried to snow here too, but did not stick. Thank goodness! It is way to early to start shoveling.
I was a good girl on Friday and got the workout in, but this weekend was totally unmotivated. Well, plus I slept wrong and the darn middle of my shoulder blades was tight all weekend long. Workouts were not looking good to help it either. I did a lot of walking around just so I would not have to sit too long. (makes it worse)
Of course, office work today has not helped it much and I have to sit at the computer today since I have trial this week. Err. I can't wait until Friday.
Well, have a great rest of the day and hopefully I can check in sometime this week.

So much snow! I wish I could post pictures! At least 6 inches this morning. We had to dig the car out. It was 45 in my workout room last night. Bf is going to get me a space heater.
Sunday night I finally found the motivation to do 4DS Double Cardio Premix.
I was really sore in my shoulders and back after that TLT workout but my major muscles didn't even burn in the workout. Then again that isn't the purpose of TLT workouts.
I am going through the TLTs this month.
My bf got me a Cello for my b-day and today I picked up a book so I can learn to play it. Super excited.

Hi babes! Wow! Snow already Reece! We got down to 33 this a.m. but we're sunny so no ice or snow. Yet anyway. 45 degrees in your workout room? Brrrr!!!! Enjoy your new cello!
Lita, do you want to start STS the week after Thanksgiving? We should be able to get through it all before the next time change I believe. What do you think?
Rhea, I think we may be starting STS sooner than January. I hope your back is better, and you don't have to go to trial this week!
Melinda, have you been out of town for awhile? Hope to see you soon!
Cathe's Supersets today. This has always been a go-to workout when I needed to go a little lighter. Well, I upped the weights since STS and it aon't so easy anymore!

Tracy - Sounds like a plan to me if Rhea is okay with it ! Hopefully my hernia is calming down and I'll be able (with modification, of course ) lift heavier for Mesos 2 & 3.
Melinda - You are cruel!!!! I can't believe you suggested the leg blast premix on B&G. I thought for sure I'd entered leg hell ! I swear if there would've been 2 sets of low end lunges, I would've cried! As it was, I was praying for it to be over before I even got half way through . I'm blaming it on the issues I had all summer, though, and not on me ....

Hi Everyone,
this is the busy season for my work, so I haven't had much time to do other things online.
I have been getting in STS workouts. I only have 1 left to do to finish up meso 1. It was nice to start meso 1, but by the 3rd week I was sick of it. BUT, I did stick with it.
Lita, that leg blast is really intense. At least you stuck with it. I remember first doing it and feeling like my legs were going to fall off.
Panty hose - the best thing to use them for is tying up tomato plants!!! And speaking of tomatoes, we've pulled all our plants out, they got frosted and we were done. Getting the yard cleaned up for the fall/winter.
Rhea, I can't stand STS being 70 min long. I wish all Cathe's workouts would be 50 min.
Reece, I'm so glad to see you are here. Let us know how the cello goes.
Tracy, I just cut my hair shorter, I had the frizz thing going on too!

Hey, I might be able to do that. First week after....at least it is a goal to go and do...rather than my hmm, what's up for today attitude.
Have not had time to workout, just work. I can't wait until Thursday night, I'll be all done and my righteous indignation will be all spent. LOL. Actually, my ego got a bit pumped today when we summarized the trial for the judge and the judge looked at the d.a. and asked why? Oh this is now going to be fun. hehehehe or as Cathe would saw BWAWAWAWA.
Okay, back to work.

Hi babes! Good to see you Melinda! I figured work was keeping you away from us. Good for you sticking with STS even when you were sick of it! I haven't done any STS workouts since I stopped the whole thing in June so I think it's going to feel new to me all over again.
Hmm, Leg Blast Premix from B&G? I think I'll just foget that even exists thankyouverymuch!
Rhea, sounds like your trial is going to be alot more fun than you originally thought! Enjoy!
OK, we'll start STS the week after T-Day! The schedule means we don't get a week off till the week after Christmas but I don't know any other way to do it. So we'll just do our best! I like that STS is really 3 workouts a week and if I have to, I'll cut out the cardio. Don't tell Cathe though, OK?

Melinda - Great to see you !
Tracy - If I have my weeks right, the rest week is the last week of the year, right? I promise I won't tell on the cardio since I am the queen of modifying schedules and workouts to fit my needs!
Rhea - You can do it!!!! We'll have lots of fun! I'm not thrilled about 70 min workouts so I just might be modifying those, too !

Hi workout buddies!
I took today off since I worked Saturday. Just because I'm salary doesn't mean they get to use me. Plus I'm the one who makes up the schedules.
So with the whole day to myself I was able to relax and be lazy! It snowed all day and we had a white out so I stayed inside next to the heater and wrapped up in my mink blanket and I did laundry, played halo, painted, played my flute, piano, and practiced my new cello! Oh and I did the standing portion of Butts and Gutts and did the abs/stretch at the end with the wts. I used 12 lb dumb bells for the barbell portions and it started straining my shoulder a bit on the last round of dead lifts and squats. It wasn't too bad, I was able to finish the set and my legs felt like they got a great workout. That is a huge improvement for me though! My shoulder is coming along. I'm still taking it easy and resting it a couple days if it I even notice the slightest irritation.
Well I'm off to bed! Have a great night ladies.

OMG - white out snow already? Where the heck are you Reece?
BTW, I'm just doing a fast check in since I WON!!!!!! Not Guilty on all charges!!!!whoooohooooo! Can you tell I'm excited? It is so nice to finally get a win. Us public defenders don't get that very much.
Okay, I'm off to drink wine. Eat chocolate, be merry.

Yay Rhea! Congrats! I'm proud of you! Now its time to relax! I'll have a shot with you tonight!
Tonight was Cardio Fusion All Step Cardio Premix. So if anyone can make beads of sweat roll off your brow in a room thats below 50 its Cathe! I was suppose to do PUB but chickened out. My shoulder felt tense today, not sore, just tense.
I'm in the Big Sky Country in Montana! It will be snowing more the next couple days. The nice thing is when I got a bit hot after the 3rd circuit blast I opened the door and there is at least 6 inches of snow in the back yard.
I had to drive my sweetie home middle of the day. His head started pounding and he just couldn't function. So I took him home and he slept all day. He is doing better now that he ate dinner. I made steak with portabello (sp?) mushrooms and zucchini. Now I think I'll pass on the cello practice because sometimes I just don't bow right and the note played can be annoying. I think I'll spare him.
