Good morning! You go, STS girls! Chris, the leg work in STS is pretty fun, don't you think? I'm liking it, but maybe that's cause it's all I can do! I seem to recall I really liked the meso 2 legs, and plyo legs, well, you know the love/hate there!
I did a 30 min. "cardio warmup" -- just easy moves and got my heart rate up -- before a nice long stretch this morning. I just couldn't get excited about any cardio and felt like I needed something a little easier today. It was easy alright! The stretch felt pretty good.
I've got lots to do today, I feel like. Got to try to stay focused.......

Hey ladies..
Just a quick break between assignments...
Chris: Enjoy that leg workout!! My least favorite body part to work is usually chest. I hate all those pushups so much!
Beth: I think the other 2 meso legs were better too. No wall squats for one...
Well, it is a nice day here. Sorry it is rainy by you Chris....We are looking at sunny skies. The kids have PE class today. So, I am glad that it is sunny for them to enjoy class. It is about 70 here now and I think it is suppose to get up to the mid 70s later.
Ok, gotta go dish out some more assignments....

Ooohhh my!
God , that was harder than last week! It went so dang fast, and those low pulse lunges...OW MY ASS!
(do you remember Cartman from South Park used to say that?)
My hips are sore, even now. ... I really kept thinking that an awesome workout would be all the add-ons from Meso 1. That band work is cool, isn't it? I wonder how long it would last? does she do add-ons on Disc 9, Beth? How are your legs feeling today, btw?
The rain has left, and now it's sunny out, but windy! The leaves are blowing down down down....
Beth: Sounds like a good low key kind of workout. I did the B&G stretch after I was done. I think I need to do more for my legs later...
Kathy: I think I'm now expecting all those push ups in Meso 1, so I'm not as shocked as I was with the first time around. I don't like the push ups, but I like chest work. Sounds like VERY nice weather!
to Joanne and Hottie! (AND Vilma, if you're out there today!!!)

What a great idea! The bonus workouts from meso 1 legs all done together, I mean. I sure wish STS had premixes -- I understand why they don't, but.... there's sooooo much potential there!
Chris, the bonus work from the third week of legs is done with the paper plates/gliding discs -- it was tough, and I really think I skipped it first time around, or tried to fake it without the discs. My legs are not that sore today -- nothing like the first week of legs! I probably could have done a regular workout today, truth be told. Ssshhhh!
I'm back from helping at school -- got to dive into chores here! Wonder if we'll hear from our other friends today!

I'm here!! Waves to all! Got a late start today. Had to go for my blood work and then to the dentist. Mom, no cavities!!
I did KCM's kickboxing this morning. Not too tough, but a good workout.
OK, maybe I'll take the challenge and do all of the Meso 1 bonus leg workouts tomorrow. Hmmmm...I'll think about it! I was actually going to do Butts and Guts, but that could be "fun"!
Beth, are you using weights for the STS leg workouts? Just curious if you were still trying out the no weights for legs and more barre workouts and how it was going. Too funny about Travis' comment about your muscles! Reminded me of when Ian was around two. I had had two babies in two years. I hadn't lost any of the baby weight and was adding more. Ian told me I looked like a Tellatubby. Remember those annoying things on that TV show? That are very round? He thought he was complimenting me cause he loved them. That was a rude awakening!!
Chris, you asked about the thing on my neck - it doesn't hurt and it moves if you push it. Is that good or bad? I've actually had it for probably close to three years. I'm figuring if it was bad, I'd be pretty sick by now. It's weird, but for some reason, legs are my favorite body part to work. My least is chest. Probably cause I don't really see any visible benefit from it. I think you must get our weather right after us! Yesterday was really windy. I remember your description of your weather earlier this week was what we had the day before.
Kathy, sounds like you are keeping the kids busy with their lessons today! Sounds like a beautiful day.
Today is my mom's birthday, so my aunt (dad's sister) and I are going to take her out to dinner. She had a really rough birthday last year with my dad and Caitlyn both in the hospital. She's had a rough few years period.
Better get some work done since I just got here!

Joanne: Happy Birthday to your mom..My mom's birthday is Sunday the 11th. Good going with no cavities!! I bet all those add ons would be as tough as Butts & gutts!!
Beth: Yes, those plates were tough. I was sore last week from those. Like you I wasn't as sore as week 1. But, I was feeling it!!! Have fun with those chores. I did all mine on Saturday so I wouldn't be rushed during the week. The only thing to keep up with is laundry. I did some of that yesterday...Most of the chores never end!
Ok, done with Disc 11. Now, we are off to PE class..Talk to you later..

Joanne, I am using weights for the STS legs, but I go pretty light -- I feel like I have really huge bulky quads, and so no need to make them bigger. I really do think they slimmed out some when I was doing all that barre work -- still intend to keep at that, but haven't worked it in much in the last couple of weeks. I think tomorrow I will do a barre workout. Stretch those quads!!
Joanne, I was trying to think of some joke to connect the teletubbies with the lump that moves, but I can't do it. How could we forget teletubbies?! Dylan actually dressed up as the yellow one for halloween one year -- he must have been about 2, maybe? I still still mostly carrying him, but I don't think he was just one. At any rate, he was very cute!!!
The lump sounds strange -- that it moves, that is. I hope they get it figured out, but I'm with you that if you've had it this long, it's probably nothing serious.
Happy Birthday to your mom! Hope it's a nice celebration after having a tough one last year!!
Back to the never ending chores! Actually, I did get a couple of not regular jobs done (took forever) and now I'm getting on to the regular ones that never go away -- clean sheets on bed, clean the floor, etc....... Our dishwasher isn't working! This happened about a month ago -- it's clogged. I cannot get the thing taken apart to unclog it -- I feel like I'm going to break it. So, there's a lot of yuck that's going to wait in hopes that Larry can fix it one more time. I think I need to order a replacement part, because even he said he thought it was about to break trying to get it out of there.

Hey Again..
Thought I'd post now, since i'm off to school meetings after an earlier supper.
Funny thing this afternoon, I started getting WICKED munchies, like I wanted to gnosh on "evil" food. I sometimes think that STS makes me hungrier (but I'm hungrier all the time, who really knows). I decided to eat ALL protein. I ate: a 3 oz piece of leftover pork roast, an Egg Mug (1/2 C egg beaters and 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese), and spinach sauteed with tomatoes. .. OMG, I'm satisfied! Could it really BE?? I don't have the urge to eat PB and Choc Chips anymore! or Fluff! Yeah!!!
Beth: Speaking of leg work with plates, I can NOT for the life of me do those one legged sit and stands. Pisses me off! 98% of the time I've got my other heel on the floor. ... Oh, now I'm thinking, you would have to Fast Forward through the entire STS Leg work to get to the Bonus stuff? That would be a PIA, but I guess do-able.
Joanne: Oh Happy Birthday to your mom today! how old is she? Nice you're taking her out to dinner
Good cardio today! Is that the new KCM KB?... HA, yES! Be our guineau pig! do the STS bonus work and tell us know it is!!!!
. Wow, Joanne, your neck thing sounds JUST like mine. In fact, I just felt it, it's the same. And i've had mine for 15+ years, and I'm not dead! LOL!!! But it's good you're getting it checked!
Kathy: Oh my chores are never done, it seems. Laundry all the time. And always SOMETHING needs some cleaning. *sigh*...
Tonight I'm going to a meeting for Zach's 8th Grade Field Trip to Washington DC in June. They go for 4 days, 3 nights!!! There's not a nurse going, so I *have* to go (he's not so happy about that). . Oh, and they stop in Philadelphia on the way too. I'm excited, but hopefully there won't be a problem with me going. They don't usually allow parent chaperones. .. And at the same time, Jake's school is having the open house. I'm goign to try to hit it the last 10 minutes, if I can. But Greg can take the other boys (he doesn't know that yet..LOL!)
better go start supper...
have a good evening girls!!!!

Chris, wow, 15+ years?! That's good to hear! My doctor looked at me like I was nuts when I told him it was there for three years. Mmm, I'll have to try that protein fix. You have to figure your body is more likely to be craving something healthy than sugar, right? Although the mind is craving sugar! At least mine always is. Don't feel bad, I don't think I've done one of the one-legged sit and stands with my foot in any way actually off the floor. It's freaking impossible! The KCM kickboxing is about a year old - it's from her 30 minutes to fitness series, though. My mom is 71 today. She had me young - at 23. That field trip sounds fun. I don't think Jameson's class is going anywhere - at least that I've heard of yet.
Beth, I can laugh about the telletubbie comment now, but then it was devastating! Cause it was true! I think one of my kids was one for Halloween once, too. I hate those neverending chores, too. Can I have a live-in maid?? Or, and cook??

hi guys...sorry I've been out of the loop. Mostly been working crazy hours and have had no internet at work. I stayed home today as a recharge and cuz TOM was sucking but I've mostly been doing errands that Joe's too lazy to do himself. I want to do IM3 today but I've been dizzy all day and I'm not sure what I can do actually. if the computer screen stays still I'll write more...
