It's nice to be off on a Sunday night, and have ALL day Monday on a GOOD night's sleep!!
The walk yesterday was crazy! It rained so hard, and was cold , but my layers worked wonders. I actually started sweating a little!
All of our feets got soggy and mushy and COLD , though. That part sucked. I was so moved by all the people that showed up (3000!) in spite of the rain. Made my heart happy that that many people care.
It kept raining though, so they didn;t open the park, instead gave up tickets that we can use either this coming weekend or Halloween weekend.
Came home and was a total lazy bum the rest of the day. Watched the Patriots play in the snow! That was crazy too. 1 and 1/2 hours away from us (where my sis lives) they had SNOW instead of rain. *shudder*. Felt like letting totally loose, and we ordered pizza and hot wings. I haven't eaten like that in a very long time! But of course, the scale is yelling at me (and my jeans!) this morning.. Gotta get back on track...
Today is STS, Meso 1, Week #4 for me! Last week before "recovery week". I'm doing ok with it. Looking forward to the weights one more week. I plan to do a good stretch too.
Beth: I know, I think I remember calling Tanya from P57 a few names when I did that one! I'm totally jealous of your 80 degrees there. I guess the grass is always greener! The kitties sound so cute, hope you can get some pics up (did you name them yet?). I read or heard recently about how so many cats are put to sleep because there just isn't any room for them. It is sad. But they also suggested that if you adopt a cat, you take 2, because they have a bubby to play with . I'm so glad we have 2 cats, they really do play with each other and amuse each other.
Kathy: You were busy yesterday! I know , I just got so into baking and cooking this week with the colder weather. But I have to be careful, because I find myself eating more too. ... YAY for MESO 2 today! let us know how it goes!!!!
Okay, better start thinking more seriously about moving my pizza-laden fat butt downstairs for STS!!!!

Good morning! And Happy Monday.
Kathy, yes, awesome on the cooking yesterday and getting things all set -- wow! You were busy. I saw a recipe for some tomato soup made with cannelini beans -- looked really good. I may try that, but I may be the only one in the house eating it!
Chris, good for you on the walk yesterday -- it is great there were so many people out in spite of the weather. I have a feeling we're all in for a crazy winter, eh? They're predicting we're going to have a really wet one, and considering we're not really into wet season yet and I think we're already at least 1/4 of where we should be for a whole season, well, yep.
I'm jealous of you STS ladies.... I saw something like disc 13 on my calendar for tomorrow -- not happening, obviously. I'm really encouraged after doing that Jari though -- I know there are some things I just can't do, but it's nice to know I can do some weight workouts and not have consequences. This morning I was really tired, so slept in a little and then did a quick kettlebell session -- noting overhead, so I should be fine. Got my heart rate going, for sure. Theoretically I'm going belly dancing tonight -- I have a feeling I'm going to feel pooped, but we'll see.
Anyone play Stop that Train? We just got it, and I didn't even get through the rules yet.....
Gotta get on with the day.... it's late for me!

Hey Kids!
I did do DISC 10, CSB, and then a good stretch from Stretchmax (Stability ball). Felt good! The weight work was not any easier on a full night's sleep! LOL!
Hey Beth: That's good you got SOME weight work in and it felt ok. You're doing the right thing working with a chiro that can give you good advice. It must be hard to read about STS when your mind wants to do it, but your body can't. Gosh, the push-ups she did today. I am ready to go on to MESO 2(there's no more push-ups, right?). .... Oh tonight is your bellydance?? Hope you get to go! Sounds like you like it!! ... I know! I saw that thing about Lalo's party on FB!! that would be SOOo cool to go to! Go!!! Are you far from there?? Wish we both could go!... What kind of game is Ticket to Ride? On the computer? or a board game? I'm lost!
It's a gorgeous Autumn day out there, but cold to me. My toes got numb this afternoon. hate that!... Greg picked out pumpkins for the boys today, they are HUGE. We just couldn't get things together to go together. But we got 'em for carving!! They'll love that...
Okay, better go get a snack!

Funny about the weights, Chris! Nice that you got a full night of sleep!!!
The train game, which I can never remember the name of, is a board game. Supposed to be really fun but looks like it may be a little advanced for Dylan, we'll see. The instructions were certainly too advanced for me in my sleepy, lazy Sunday mode yesterday!
The kitties have sort of been named, but I imagine the names could be changed at any moment, too. One is called Purr Monster, or Monster for short, and the other is called Shadows, or Shadow for short (she has spots that look like shadows). One more dog to adopt and I think we will be full up!! Travis still wants his own dog. We have four roosters at the moment, too! How crazy is that?! The poor hens are really looking bedraggled...... one rooster would be too many for those girls.

hey, this is a quick fly by as my day is pretty hectic already but I just wanted to say that I hope to be back. I did 90% of disc 13 and then misread the clock to end early. Its just tricep work at the end so I'll do it when I get home hopefully. I'm having spotty internet at work again too so there's only so much I can do on the public computers...hope you all are well.

Eh, who cares about triceps anyway?! Good to "see" you, Hottie!
Hey, the cathe downloads..... I see no need for them whatsoever. Living where I live, I'll just never go to a gym, so what's the point? I can see future stuff, perhaps purchasing that way, but in a way it will be no better for the environment, cause I'll still have to burn a dvd to play it on my tv -- unless I have to wait so long for the next Cathe release that the computer really and truly has become the tv. Is anyone getting any at this point?
did you see the shock cardio hiit photos? Gives me hope.... no Jai -- sure hope she's in kickboxing since she really shines there.

Triceps are like the top muscle group I want better! (ok, next to my abs but abs are in such a different category. So abs and then triceps.) I haven't seen the pics just yet -- I'll go that now. I know I probably should be using my public computer allotted time better! Oh and my shoe review is up to if you guys are interested...

Ok, I'm home now with internet so I can read everyone's post.
Kathy -- hope you enjoyed disc 13. I accidentally printed disc 16's workout instead so all the weights were wrong and I couldn't understand why I could barely do anything after two exercises! But I figured it out eventually.
Chris -- I had plenty of those nights for the last two weeks as I've been dealing with crap. Frankly though, the stress of everything negated the calories! I don't want snow but I'm not wishing the rain away. I hate drivers in the rain but the state really needs the water (and now I view ran as free lawn watering). I'm glad the highs are just in the low 80s though. It going from 67 to 97 was painful. Just painful.
Beth -- I'm not getting the downloads. I don't feel the cardio downloads would be that great either. Frankly, I wouldn't mind a subscription service where it downloaded to my Xbox rotations and stuff and logged in the stuff I did but what I'm asking is wayyy into the future. One day! Monster and Shadow -- I love it! I wouldn't mind having cats in the house but Evee, the hunting dog that she is, would just chase and hunt anything smaller than her. I would love to have another dog to just keep Evee company (and for me to play with).
Man, its so easy to be tired at the end of the day. MY feet are giving up on me but I will soon go back to the tricep workout and finish cleaning. I am a bit happy -- got a 4 figure refund check back from the county of LA from the house purchase...which is going straight into Evee's knee surgery when I finally get the estimate....
