Good morning!
This weather is just gross! The weekend weather looks bad, and we are supposed to go to the Cape. I'm having second thoughts, except DDs invited a friend along.
I did the original boot camp yesterday and UY Cross Train today. Actually only did 45 minutes because I got up too late to do the whole thing. So tired today, I had to take oldest DD to a college fair in Newton last night and it didn't end until 9:30. I am in a fog today.
Carolyn, sorry about your walk and your knee pain. Maybe new sneakers will work. My sneakers don't bother me when I am indoors but I notice when I am walking that they don't have as much support. Maybe it's the pavement?
Jean, the new house sounds so exciting, how wonderful to have everything new and the way you want it!
Hi Betty, Missy, Colleen, Marie! Really wish I was off today!

Another thought Carolyn maybe walking shoes instead of running shoes? I've always used running shoes for walking and I'm thinking since I don't run anymore maybe I should get shoes deigned for walking??? No workout for me yet. I'll probably take a walk later if it is not raining.

Well, Saturday and Sunday is supposed to be raining, in the mid-50s. I don't mind--no mandatory yardwork and more napping/reading on the recliner with a cozy blanket! Nice and cool too!
Carolyn, when I do hip thrusts, I don't feel I know whether my form is correct or not. I probably don't use a heavy enough weight but as long as I'm DOING them, I figure I'm still making those neural pathways.
Mary! You came very close to me! Where in Newton was the college fair? The high school? The Marriott? That's far for you, isn't it? Was it useful? I remember going to fairs with DS and getting nothing out of them.
BB LB was no easier the 2nd time. I only did 32 mins and the humidity was excruciating, making me sweat profusely. The fans are still in the attic! It's May, for heaven's sake! PK core had nary a warmup or cool down; it's so tailored for beginners that it's slow. I didn't even stretch after BB since I had no time before my friend came over. I had lunch and coffee with my friend again. She gets back to work next week, so it was nice to spend time together this week.
I just love the way Leah's legs look!
I really need to stretch my knees. They are always achy after spinning too.
Enjoy your long weekend, everyone!

Good morning!
I'm having a cup of coffee before I workout. Planning to do Crossfire. Then we are driving to the Cape. I almost cancelled but dds want to go even with the rain, hoping the weather somehow will be better than forecast.
Betty, it was at the Marriott, about 40 mins away from here. It was a different kind of fair, with specific colleges each giving a short presentation and then Q&A and breakout sessions. DD really liked it but the only thing I got out of it was they all said the kids should be thinking about their essays now and get them done over the summer. If I said that it would come out as nagging but DD got the message.
Glad you got to spend time with your friend. I do feel, with working and busy kids, that I don't spend enough time with friends.
Carolyn, hope you get out of your funk. This weather probably doesn't help!

Hi everyone, it's drizzly and cool. Can't remember a Memorial Day like this in so long, but I don't mind at all.
I'm waiting to see This is 40. Love those types of movies.
Carolyn, awesome that XT is doing that for your arms. I feel the layering of all of Cathe's series has combined to give me nicer arms. I'm wondering if the new series might be my last though.
Great job in keeping your summer to yourselves. Is DS disappointed?
Core 1--ugh. I saw an infomercial for Hip Hop Abs (Shaun T). Looks so fun! I love the moves of dancers. Can't get them down though!
I don't need the outdoors; I just need the sun!
Mary, it's relaxing to just hang at the Cape regardless of weather, but especially with rain. It's just so peaceful there.
Your drive won't be as bad as if we have sun! Should save you some time sitting in traffic.
Missy, sounds great to catch all those movies on NF. I love doing that.
Enjoy your last day of 29! Happy new decade tomorrow!
Colleen, great job getting that walk in. Your weather is an improvement over ours.

Good evening.....I have been super busy....it was 90 degrees out today.....just came in from watering the garden. I picked 3 yellow squash today!!!!
Tim is the best.....several years ago....when we were clearing the land for our house.....we cut this huge tree down....and the stump was so big.....we cut it down as close to ground as possible......so this ugly stump has been in my back yard since.....so...Tim brought a tractor home from work today and dug up the stump....its so nice....now that's its gone!!!! That is the absolute best gift of all.....I am a nutt about my yard....it has to be perfect all the time....that's why we are always so busy!!!! Ocd...I know!
I did not workout today....no time....off to the kitchen to make spag sauce.....
Carolyn....as for you walking in running shoes....that's what I always do....?????? I do agree with Cathe always sculpting the arms....but since I hurt my knee I have to modify things....I still can do her hard workouts just with modification....
Hello Betty, Mary, Colleen, And Marie.....be back!!!!!

Happy SPECIAL birthday, Missy! Fellow Gemini! Hope you have a fabulous day!
No guilt on desserts, everyone! We work so hard during the week, we can indulge!
It IS really difficult when the family is together not to eat poorly. I hear you! Guilty of it meself.
Hello all my friends! Hope you're all enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend!

Hey everyone
B and I went for a 2h walk today. I had him in the carrier. Made for a better workout with an extra 17lbs attached to me. Tony gets off at 6 so I'm excited to have an evening with my family Sleeping B in my arms right now. I don't want to move but I haven't showered yet today. Now that he is crawling I can't leave him alone at all lol. Usually I would put him in his Exersaucer and we would play peek-a-boo but now that he can get around so well he is like get me out of this thing
Have a good rest of the weekend

No cookouts here. The day was cloudy all day with a few brief bursts of sunshine, windy. Only in the upper 50s. Crazy!
I don't mind about no cookouts, since I haven't figured out how I'll avoid burgers, hot dogs, sausages, s'mores... Will try replacing them with portobellos and tomatoes. No, not the guys too. Just me. I do like dh's burgers, so I'll indulge in all these once in a while, but not weekly.
Colleen and Marie, great job on your walks! Colleen, that's awesome family time and on the bike! I'll probably hit the spin bike later.
Carolyn, hmm, I never considered a stationary bike, though I used to have one over 20 yrs ago. DH uses it more than me, which is fine, since I do the other workouts. I do like my bike. Like I said, I just don't like getting into a huge sweat at night.
Jean, I watched Parental Guidance and Flight. PG was very family-oriented and safe. I know you don't like Billy Crystal but he and Bette Midler are so old! Flight was the opposite. I can understand why Denzel was nominated for Best Actor though.

Morning! Working today for me. I got here a bit early though so walking the path around the building with my soy latte
Last night we went on a nice family walk. I'm trying not to feel guilty that I haven't done any Cathe workouts in awhile. My focus lately is walking. B had been the king of cat naps lately and less sleep at night too so that leaves less time for mama to workout. Oh well Walks with him are fun too
Hope to catch up on personals today. Crossing my fingers it's a slow day on the psych unit!
