In California!

Hi all

DH brought his lap top and there is free WiFi in the hotel so I thought I would check in to see what is going on with you all. I have been using the treadmill in the hotel "gym" each morning. It's nice that the gym is open at 5:00 am and I can get a workout in before family activities. DH has had meetings with accountants and lawyers since we have been here...today is the memorial for his Mom. His other sister had to go in the hospital, some type of infection..sigh, when does it end?

Well I am off to breakfast...it's only 7:23 here...

Hi Deb--

Sorry you are having such a hard time out there! I was surprised to see you, but wanted to send my sympathy. I will be sure to get the thread started tomorrow. Today was my day off, so I just cleaned house.

HI ladies,

Deb I really am sorry for you and DH.

I worked to 4am Friday/Sat. so no wo. Saturday I only did yoga abs.
After I finally got to bed I couldn't sleep. I ended up sleeping in chair. I'm still quite congested.

Sunday we go to first Ram's home game. I hope I don't start coughing.

Joan

hi ya'll, i am definitely enjoying my time off. but, i have not done a workout since a week ago friday and i am still really tired! WHAT IS THE DEAL???? well, i did yoga on thursday, but that was nothing. so, now what do i do? i looked at cathe's post-STS rotation, and it has too much STS in it. dont 'want to do it. i want a more cardio based , ithink. and i have barely been here this week , so i am way behind on all the posts. what do ya'll suggest. and, i don't think i cna do a complete month of cathe. gonna put in some firm, for sure. so, i may check out the firm's october rotation.

even though i took off from excercise, this week was really busy w/ the grandkids and we had our county fair/rodeo. and was busy w/part of that. glad i was off, cuz i don't know when i woulda worked out anyway. so, even though i'm still tired, i think i'm ready to get started again tomorrow.

hey, linda, is that right??? think so. i had a colonoscopy several yrs. ago. and the preparation is WAY WORSE than the procedure. i was out during the whole procedure and woke up to a warm blanket and hot tea. it was great. lost 4# too.
well, it will cool off again. it won't get cool for good til about the middle or end of oct. and we will stil have 80-85' days. one Christmas, it was 10' and one Christmas it was 85 or so. the weather here is crazy! we actually had a temp of 0' one time in about 1985. that was a weird year. we had 13" of snow in jan. and that is an all time record. we actually built a snowman!LOL! it was very strange. everything closed down. it was like a ghost town.

WOO HOO! nothin' like a good ole' FIRM to get your heart pumpin' & sweat pourin'. i did the old CALORIE KILLER 2 w/dale brabham. super tough. haven't done alot of box work while doing STS, cuz i was so exhausted. but, it felt good to do box and 4-limb again.

i was tired when i started, but got revved up and did some of the sections twice. i feel better now! gonna tack on a some lower body work right now.
