TGIF!

Good Morning,

Well a crappy night's sleep, no workout this morning. For whatever reason, I was waking up with hot flashes on the top of the hour, starting at 1:00 am.., then 2:00, then 3:00, when I turned the alarm off thinking I was going to be a zombie if I got up at 4:00. At least I missed a cardio workout, and not STS.

Josie, how on earth do you do 2 spinning classes? no wonder you were tired, especially after going out as well!:eek:..let us know what you treat yourself with!

Garance, WOW you are really getting up there with the weights! STS must be working great for you. What are double wave BB curls? I haven't seeen those yet, but I am only starting disc 7 this Sunday. I can't wait for Meso 2. The things I dislike the most are any of the ones where she uses the ball against the wall...can't do any of them with weights yet. You really need to get a new Ebay account! The Essential C is half price..do you want me to get you one if I can find it for under $50 inc shipping? I am ready to get another. I just opened my last one, that is when I start searching on Ebay for the next one. I am liking the foundation too!

Joan, I also found that stuff on Ebay for $75 including shipping! The Instant stretch revitilizing mask, the one that is $125 on the site..I didn't purchase , but am thinking about it.. Do you have an ebay account? ..also, did you say you only have to use it once a week? Not too sure on the calorie burn, did you go right into the second one, or did you rest and then start over? It would seem that LowMax would be more calories than the walking one. Start STS! we can do it together..I am only on disc 7..Garance is way ahead of us.!

Linny, hope all is ok with you..please check in and let us know things are ok..

Have a great day!
 
Good Morning,

Deb I am starting sts on Monday. I'm getting diet and groceries prepared in advance. I plan to be very faithful to sts and diet. I have my 40th high school reunion in August.
I don't have an Ebay account. Yes Bet-el's directions were different than on the container. She said to not use more than once a week. I was planning to use mask the day after she had done one side. When I saw her that morning she said not to do whole face, she just went ahead and did other side. There is a plastic stick to take cream out of jar to keep germs out. The amount I used was less than size of a pea. If it does last 2 years I will probably call Bet-el to order. The black mud mask she said to use only twice a month.

If it doesn't rain this may be the lawn mowing wo day.

Happy Friday Ladies,

No wo for me today. Tomorrow is my usual 2 spinning classes on Sat. and one on Sun.
I might go to San Diego on Saturday and stay until Sunday, but I have not made up my mind yet.

Deb, It took me a while to build up to doing 2 spinning classes and we usully have about 10 to 15 minutes between classes and that helps. My legs have alway been very strong.
Can you do me a favor and see if you can find Jane Airdale foundation pure pressed base in Latte on e-bay.

Garance, You are a strong woman, You DH better not mess with you.

Joan, I'm glad that you are enjoying your new producst.

Linny, Where are yu?

Hi Deb, Linny, Josie, and Joan--

This morning I did Kelly C-M's kickbox (53 min.).

Deb, yes, I would love to get the essential-c daily renewal cream for less than 92 dollars. I am about halfway done with my current jar. I love the stuff--as you know.

The double wave is like a gentle pyramid--12 reps at 70 or 75 per cent of 1rm, then add 5 percent to 10 reps, another 5 per cent to 8 reps. And then you repeat it. I have these little 2 lb dumbbells that I can pick up with my 15s and 20s, and I have some little plates from my old Firm barbell that work pretty well. The best thing about meso 2 for me has been---SLEEP! I don't wake up even once and I sleep soundly for over seven hours. I really think you will like meso 2 because it's not so frenetic. Always a minute rest between sets. I really couldn't do the wall squats either with weights--could not get low enough to pick them up. I also cannot do the one-legged sit and stands, so I just do them two-legged.

Joan, it sounds like you have a plan, and that's always the beginning. I thrive on ruts, to be honest. It's one of the reasons I am liking STS--I don't have to do much planning on my weight work. I am really trying to push myself, and I am seeing results on my upper body, which is really neat for summer, when I like to bare my shoulders.

Oh, Josie, a little messin' around with DH is fun!

Hi to Linny--how's the Atkins diet working??
 
Ahh...it's Saturday...

Goof Morning,

I love Saturdays!..No workout, my official rest day, just stuff to do around here, and some errands. DH and I went out for breakfast, of course, way too many calories.

Joan, glad you are starting STS..we can all compare results, and complain to each other! Are you still liking the results from that mask?

Josie, it looks like the link I posted was for 2- travel size ones...so you may not want that one, but let me know if it is the right stuff and I can start looking for it...is it a powder or a cream? then PM your address if you want me to get it for you and I will have it sent to your house, you can mail me the check once you get it. What is the max you want to pay including shipping?

Garance, let me know the max you want to pay for the Murad..I just got one this morning for $45 including shipping. Oh, I could not do those sit & stands either. I want to get the assisted pull up bands to use before the tower gets here, but the ones they say I would need are really expensive, like almost $30 pluss shipping! Yikes! I tried finding them on ebay but they only have tubing etc, not the heavy duty bands.

Linny, please check in and let us know how you are doing..

gotta run...

Hi Deb--

This morning was good old Housemax and a sleep-in to 7:30. My day off too.

Anything less than 92 dollars on the essential-c is fine by me, Deb. That's what Murad charges at his site. 45 dollars is a real bargain. The Woodybands are expensive. I paid 75 dollars for three of them. They are helping me though. I can now do 2 whole pullups, overhand. With the bands, I have two of them hanging off my bar and I sit on the floor and literally pull myself up with the bands. It's tough!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. DH will be watching his beloved Celtics tonight, and I will be looking at Vicky Christina Barcelona from netflix. It better be funny!
 
Good afternoon,

Lawnmowing was 1 hour and 52 minutes of activity and used 700 calories if I remember correctly. The band did fall down so I don't know if it was reading all the time. I now know that I need 3 hours of moderate activity and over 10000 steps to reach 2400 calories used but I did it yesterday.:D Of course I also had to walk for 80 min on the treadmill.

That is the amount to lose two pound a week but only if I eat 1400 calories. Since I ate 1626 calories I still didn't make it but close.

Garance I had the strangest dream last night I went to your house and was telling your husband that my uncle and cousin were farmers and then started talking to you about make up.

I found a feature on the gwf. I use .9 calories a minute sleeping and 1 cal a minute awake normally. During the mowing I used about 7 calories a minute. I'm hoping the raking I will do today will use more calories than that. I'm afraid to use the armband while lifting if I also use the pace weights. You are supposed to keep away from magnets.

Hi Deb, Linny and Josie.
