Hi all,

Sorry for the late start, I found that I needed to really rest today. I did Cathe's High step training Advanced, and did not finish it. I didn;t really enjoy what I was doing either, I guess I was waiting for her to stop and give me a rest time. I guess I got spoiled with STS.

Then I was so exhausted, I started reading and napping, off and on all afternoon.

It seems like everyone is busy today. I wonder how the RT went...

See you tomorrow!
 
Good evening all,

I did nothing all weekend. I caught something from Elliot. I didn't have that many symptoms, just felt exhausted. She was crabby and I didn't blame her I felt the same way. Friday's anniversary went about the way I expected except I felt so tired I didn't even care.

I feel almost like my old self today. I can't even describe what was wrong except it felt like my body was fighting something. I still have an occasional cough but it didn't really feel like a cold.

Good morning!

I just finished a Cardio Coach, 35 minutes. I am dripping with sweat right now.

Joan, I had the same kind of day yesterday that you had, although I wasn;t fighting anything like a cold, I was exhausted and my body would not do anything. Like I mentioned above, I spent most of the day on the couch reading.

Garance, I am almost done with the second book in the Dismas Hardy series. I will be starting book 3 today, and am going to request the next few from the library. Thanks for the recommendation.

Josie, how was your weekend?

Cathy, did you ever get any of that rain that was going around a bit there?

Have a good day!
 
hi all, sorry to be awol. had an energy meltdown yesterday. was so tired i could barely move. i get those days occasionally. i suppose it is old age. i have no idea why it happens. but, it is not fun. i'm so exhausted i can't even think. very strange. still a bit tired today. but, i did do disc 20, legs. i did not enjoy it too much though cuz i was so tired, but i got thru it. may need to rest extra today, too. see how i feel later.

nope, no rain. and , it sounds like you had a day like mine yesterday, fox2star. NOT FUN!!

Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

I am repeating last week's circuits, so yesterday I did Christi Taylor's Dance Fit (70 min.) and this morning I did Cathe's Circuit Max (65 min.).

I ordered the Physique 57 workouts--naughty, naughty. But I am a fan of Kelly Ripa's so I thought these would be worth a try. I still plan on doing 4 full weeks of circuits and then re-tooling again.

Deb, so glad you like John Lescroart. I really like his characters--Dismas, Abe, and the early ones with that old cunning lawyer--can't remember his name.

I went to see Les Grands Ballet Canadienne de Montreal on Saturday. Just plain exhilarating. Talk about beautiful bodies!

Beautiful weather here on Saturday, Sunday gray and rainy, but today and tomorrow are looking good.

Feel better, Joan!
 
do you suppose doing a cardio after STS is too much? i am old, remember! i think i did a 30m cardio after every sts last week and then cardio on off days. but, i was off friday, actually, outside riding horse and taking care of grandkids, so not sure how off that is. but, no formal workout. then , yesterday, i was dying, so obviously , no workout. actually, i barely got out of bed yesterday. i know it is not a bug, do you suppose it is overtraining?
later, cathy
 
Hi Ladies,

My weekend was great! I'm a little tired from picking up the kids but it was worth it.
I also got to see my DS. I did get my wo's done and feel a bit sore from Saturday's wo.
Kevin changed it a bit.

Cathy, You are probably doing to much cardio. I was working out 6 day per week and it was too much. I now take 2 full days off and feel better. I do 30 minutes of cardio on my weight training days except for Saturday and Sunday I do a 1 hour spin. On Wednesday I do a 45 minute spin.

Joan, I hope that you are feeling better.

Garance, The ballet sound great!

Josie
 
Hi everyone,

I still haven't done anything yet today but at least I got my yard mowed and half of my neighbors. It's starting to get hot again here- back into the 90's.

Tuesday

Good morning,

I woke up at 3:40, and decided to sleep in...yeah right. DH got up at 4:45, so I was awake again, and could not get back to sleep. No workout today, but hey, this is my "active rest week" anyway.

Cathy, yep and energy melt down is what I had on Sunday. Are you feeling better today? I think you may be over training and that is why you feel like you do. I can't imagine doing one of those plyo leg workouts or any STS and then cardio afterwards..

Garance, where did you order those workouts from? I googled it but just got a lot of description of the actual studio in NYC that does them. Was there a clip available to view? They sound interesting but I would like to see something of it before making a purchase. oh..I just found the link over in the Open forum that has a nice long clip..mmm now you have me thinking! so different from Cathe and weight workouts....I am on the fence!

Joan, what a nice neighbor!

Josie, nice weekend!

Have a good day!

Hi Ladies,

I went spinning last night. Today is my Kevin wo plus 30 minutes of cardio.

Garance, I will not be buying any more DVD's until I finish my 6 months with Kevin.

Deb, you must be catching up on you sleep. Your body must need it.

Hi to Joan and Cathy.

Josie
 
yeah, ya'll are probably right about too much cardio. but, it sure doesn't look like it. my hips and belly just won't shrink, and i just ate an oreo.:) hmmm, could that be the problem?


did the firm's cardio core fusion (55m). that is really a good workout. i was dripping sweat everywhere. and then did alison's piliates. felt good after that tough cardio.
well, got a class to teach tonite. so gotta go get prepared. ttyl,cathy
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did Cathe's Cardio and Weights (60 min.).

Beautiful weather here for two days in a row!!! That has to be a record.

I had my annual pap smear yesterday and discovered that I was down a pound from last year--136. Probably a fluke and tomorrow it will be back at 137.

Deb, maybe you could wait until I try out Physique 57 and I will make an attempt at an adequate review. If you go to that site and click on buzz, you can also get a clip from Regis and Kelly where Kelly leads a little class. It's pretty funny--Anderson Cooper was co-hosting that day and he just plain refused to do any of the exercises.

Joan, it has not been 90 degrees here since April, when we had one early dose of the Bermuda high.

It sounds like you don't need dvds, Josie, because you have KEVIN!

Cathy, I know what you mean about the tummy. Even with doing abs every single day on these circuit workouts, I don't feel any less poochy.
 
Garance,

I have noticed that my abs are getting flatter by doing planks and alternative ab workouts instead of the regular sit ups.

Josie
 
Hump Day!

Good morning,

I did an I-Tread last night around 6:00 and I paid for it by not being able to sleep. I think the cardio that late was not something I am used to. That and the thunder storm that raged through here last night. I did not get up this morning to work out.

Josie, what time do you get home after working out at the gym? You do planks and what other ab stuff? I would love to hear of things that work besides crunches...hate crunches..

Cathy, yep, the Oreo could be doing it, ask one that is addicted to sugar.. what class do you teach?

Garance, thanks for the tip on how to find more clips etc. I like the one where she brought the staff to the actual studio and they were trying the workout...whew, it did look hard. I will wait to hear how you like it. I think part of me is just foundering right now because STS is over. I liked not having to think of what workout to do.

We are supposed to have 2-3 beautiful days, 70's low humidity and sunny..we shall see!:D

Have a good one!
 
Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--

This morning I did LIC (71 min.). I was dripping by the time this one was over. But it is very humid here today.

Well, the wedding in Thailand is not going to happen. DS and future dil are moving out to San Francisco and waiting until spring 2010 to make plans in that area. I spent most of yesterday afternoon getting all my miles back from the tickets. DS has a new position out there and future dil is transferring within her company. I just don't get it. Oh well, I was somewhat dreading such a long trek.

The sun is trying to come out here. At least DH has been able to cut some hay.

Back to work here after a fruitless afternoon yesterday.
 
Hi Deb, Cathy Joan and Garance,

No wo for me today, I need to get my nails done and I need to handle by scandal (bikini wax) before going to Las Vegas. I plan to lay by the pool for a couple of days and catch up on my reading. We are driving to Vegas on Friday and getting back on Monday.

Deb, If you have a fax # I can send you a copy of the plank wo. I usually get home by 6:00 PM after my wo. If I do any wo after 7:00 PM, I can not sleep either. It gives me a lot of energy.

Garance, I miss your posts on your dinner menus.

Hi Cathy and Joan,

Josie
 
WHEW!!! disc 19 KICKED MY REAR!!!! i don't remember it being so hard, but those double wave loads 'bout killed me. i hit failure several times before i finished my reps. WOW! tough workout.

DEB, i am a facilitator for an abortion recovery Bible study and i am doing a training class to train other women to facilitate the study.
see ya'll tomorrow.

Thursday

Good morning,

Still trying to catch up on sleep. Got up at 2:20 to let one of the dogs out, then the other one started up at 3:20 and DH let him out, stayed downstairs with him so I could sleep. :rolleyes:..I woke up at 5:20 anyway. I may start looking into some type of herbal thing for sleep, melotonin, valeran, or something.

Garance, Wow, the wedding cancellation must have been a shock. I bet you feel better going to SF for it though. I always think it would be great to see different parts of the world, but then I am a chicken when it gets down to going there. I also miss the dinner menus.

Josie, yay for nails getting done! ( leave me out on the bikini wax.:eek:)..I have a pedicure tonight after work.

Cathy, forgot all about those double wave loads...I must have put them right out of my mind when I finished that meso cycle. ;)

Have a good one!
 
Good morning Cathy, Garance, Deb and Josie,

I'm sorry I haven't been posting. I just haven't been able to get myself to exercise. It didn't help that my brother and my nephew came to visit and I had to keep them entertained. I'm going to use this as my rest week. I only have 2 weeks of Sts to go.

Garance What a surprise about the wedding. I hope they didn't lose any deposits. My dil cancelled wedding entirely and they broke up. Ds had lost his job and wasn't finding one fast enough. She was mad that we were helping him. He moved back to St Louis from KC. It took a while but he found a good job. They did finally get married after she moved here (she couldn't find a job for a long time-evil laugh) They lost over a $1000 in deposits because they changed location of wedding.

Josie Enjoy your weekend.

Deb I can't imagine having dogs waking me up at night. That is as bad as having a baby. I definitely was exhausted all the time when my boys were little.

Hi Cathy.

Joan
 
Hi Ladies,

Kevin wo plus 30 minutes on the stair master tonight. I had to get an acrylic nail put on my left big toe. My nail had a horizontal break and the manicurist kept gluing it, but everytime I went spinning it would break again. I used to suffer from black toe nails when I was running marathons and now it's from spinning. Oh well!

Joan, I hope I have good luck like you did on your Las Vegas trip.

Garance, what's for dinner tonight?

Hi Deb and Cathy.
