Hello Violets,

I cannot believe i am starting this thread today.:)

This morning's workout was HSC. I just love, love, love this workout. so much fun and a high calorie burn.

Heather-if i am ever in tx i will let you know so we can meet with each other.

c'mon sleepy heads...WAKE UP:D :D
 
Happy Hump Day Violets!

I'm up SD! Slept in till after 9:00! YIKES!
I don't have HSC. I only have HS Circuit which came w/ my High Step when I bought it and it's a beginner wo. It only uses 3 risers but "huh duh" I guess I could use all of the risers and get a more challenging wo! I just may do that one this morning! I have got to do something today I have not worked out since Saturday! The horror!

The doggie went home so we're back to normal.
Hope everyone is doing well!

I'm back and I WORKED OUT! FINALLY!! Guess I'll eat too!
I ended up doing High Step Circuit. I used an 8" step for the cardio and 5 risers for the leg work and my usual weights for legs and arms so I got a decent workout. Tomorrow I will get back to my rotation.

Where are you Wendy and Jean?

Meg- I hope you're doing okay! Thinking of you!

Hi everone.

Last night I opted for another spin class instead of finishing PUB. I finally got the adaptor for my nano to sinc with my shoes so I spent wthe morning playing with it. First I jogged 1/2 mile to see if I needed to calibrate my nano. With my short little strides I definitely had to calibrate it. So I jogged another 1/2 mile to set my speed. Then I walked 1/2 mile to calbrate the walk feature. Now I was all set so I went for a 1.25 mile jog finishing with 1/2 walk. I was sweating so bad that I had sweat dripping off my eyelashes. Never had that happen before. So I ended up jogging 2.25+ and walking 1 mile. Loved the nano with the shoes. My ipod now talks to me. I can set it for a certain distance and it will tell me the half way mark and things like that. I'm not sure how accurate the distance feature is. It bases the distance on your calibration run, so if you change stride the accuracy can change. But I dont need to be exact. I just need to know that how far I have gone and am I improving on my time.

Hope everyone one has a great day.

Where is everyone?

Hi guys! Thanks for the well wishes. No WO yet, don't know when I can squeeze one in, we will see. Looks like you are alldoing well! I hope you have had good days.
I am starving. Here is how my day was, sorry so long!!

Got to hospital early (8:30) and gave Connor sedative, which of course he spit half of it out. An hour later- no sleepys! So since I knew he spit most of it out, gave him a little more (was quite careful not to OD him of course)The scan tech lady tried to get him to sit on the bed and in less then 5 seconds she said- "this isn't going to work, so you will have to come back another time for IV sedation and a whole big production, sorry". I said, I will wait a little longer. SHe asked what sedative his doc gave me and she said "I can't believe he gave you that, we have nurses administer this stuff! this isn't working, you should just go home (11:00am). I wanted to cry, thinking "if only nurses are supposed to do it, then why could I get it at a pharmacy DUH??????" So go out to parking lot, start to drive away, and he was passed out, snoring! I said "Chase- we are going back, leave everything in the car and be ready to run!!"
So I brought him back in there and stood there for 20 minutes holding this sleeping child while I thought my shoulders were going to burst. Then they acted like they weren't very happy and did the scan. then they said they needed to take him to MRI to check him out (scaring me by saying this thinking they found something bad). He woke up and was fine, but they said I should never have given him that medicine myself. I didn't know how to feel about it, but I trust my ped completely and he did the right thing.
Anyway, the radiologist told my ped that the scan looks good so far.:) I will know more details on Fri when we go back to see him. Sigh of relief! He is still going to see a ped neurologist just to be on the safe side. Fine by me!

Maeghan, good for you for going back and not having to wait another day & time to have all the tests done. What an experience. I feel for you and your family. Hopefully they will be able to figure out what is causing his seizures and be able to find something that helps prevent them. Hugs to you. I think it would be perferctly Ok to make this a rest day. You probably already burned alot of calories just from the hospital ordeal.

Thanks Jean! I was planning on working my UB today, but holy crap! Connor weighs 36 pounds and is quite tall for his age, and I had to carry him from the parking lot, thru the halls, in the elevator which decided to go up to the 7th floor before going down to the basement (LOL), then stand there and hold him for 20+ min while he was totally out. I then had to carry him all the way out since I didn't want him to fall while walking, from the sed. My whole UB, especially shoulders were burning, so I think I did get a WO!!!
Thanks again Jean!

Shrinking Violets Check-in

After my Bible study this morning, I did my beloved Rhythmic Step without the challenge. I am hoping to give that a whirl soon.

I shared last week that a sweet lady who has been reading my journal over at the Ya Yas offered to give me IMAX3 so her unused DVD would have a good home. I offered to pay for shipping, but she blessed me by covering the postage too. My package arrived today, and she surprised me by sending Hardcore Extreme, IMAX3, Low Max, Kick Max, and High Step Challenge! :) I can afford to buy the rest of the series. Thanks to her kindness, the whole series will cost me what everyone else paid for the original presale! I am blown away that someone I have never met would do this for me. She could have easily sold these on the Ya Yas Swap.

I started previewing Low Max tonight. It looks like a lot of fun! :) I have not watched the whole thing, but the music sounds good so far. The premix I watched played fine as well.

I am excited! I have new Cathe workouts to preview. I am hoping to learn the choreography and start a Hardcore Series rotation next month. Did I mention that I love surprises? :7

Blessings,
Heather B.
