STS NEW YEAR'S CHALLENGERS...WEEK OF MAY 15!

[tralaiven]

kiki: I have to say your DH must be a very brave man to rub your tummy at TTOM as if you were preggo...for some women it might be possible he would pull back a bloody stump .

wendy and kiki: I also do not have piped in AC in my workout room, since it is in the garage...however I do have a portable AC maker thing that they have at Costco...it pumps out some pretty cold air...since here in CA it can get 110 in summer. However, during the summer I will try to do my WO's in the early morning when it is only 80 degrees that being said, I am not good at getting up early for anything.

wendy: glad you get to get away soon. I live surrounded by vineyards and winetasting places. We just had a festival a few weeks ago downtown.

ricklyk1: what are you doing for your active recover week?

Today I finished STS Mesocycle 1 with Legs #12...I am so glad and feel like I 've accomplished something. This is kind of dumb...but I also made and had my first post-weight lifting protein fitness shake. I am seriously on the road to fitness now!!!

Have a great weekend ladies...blessings to you all

Good Morning.

My work out is done for the day! Feels great!

D24, HiiT hi + lo from Intensity and standing oblique work all done by 8:15am!

I'm ready to roll now...just sipping coffee while I wait to head to my 9:30 hair appt. I want to look my best for the rapture! Rest of my day includes the usual food shopping, cleaning, laundry etc. Hoping to squeeze in a visit to the park with my son cause the weather is simply gorgeous out there!

Okay, well I'll be back at some point later to catch up on personals.

TTFN!

Hi all!! Well...I have lost 4# since I started STS..it is official. I stepped on the scale today..which I hate to do. I finally broke through the plateau that I just could not break through after losing my initial 15#. I am so excited!

Today I did 4.25 mi. on TM and just because I am not supposed to do weights next week ...I got in one more upper body workout for good measure. Muscle Max UB only.

Next week will be the first time in 7 1/2 months that I have not lifted weights. I think it will be a good thing. It's time.

Fit mommy: I hope your hair appt went well. It took me such a long time to find a hair gal that I like . It was 4 1/2 years after I moved here...

great weekend everyone!

Good Morning.

So me, DS and DH went out to Friendly's last night for ice cream. It was MY suggestion-what was I thinking!?!? DH and I split some 3 scoop chocolate brownie sundae that was really good but OMG the WW points! OY! When I got up and weighed myself this morning I expected to be up a bit from that but I wasn't so yay! Going to be doing an extra long cardio today to make up for it too!

Tracy:: WTG on the weight loss. That's fantastic! I have struggled with my hair for years and when I first moved to the area I am in now I used I went the cheapest quick route I could find for haircuts cause my hair didn't have a style. It was long and all one length and in a ponytail most of the time. I've been here for 8 years and my hair stayed like that until only maybe 2 years ago! I used to get perms back in the day and liked them (but got sick of them after 7 years!!!) so I had stopped getting them and that's when the "no style" look came into effect. Anyway, I took a chance and got one again a couple years ago and that's where my "hair happiness" officially began and it's only gotten better! After about a year I gave up the perms, invested in some good hair products and have been very happy with a straight STYLE ever since! FINALLY!

Okay, time to get my sweat on! BBL!

fit mommy: I used to go the cheapest and quickest route too, having four kids, I just felt it was one more thing to do. But now that I am older (and only two kids in house now), in my forties, I just realized I have to try a lot harder. I am also letting my hair grow out because that is what my DH likes, and really, I do too. It is an expensive proposition here. Don't know about you. But I get my hair done with low and high lights every 6-7 wks and it is 115 bucks a pop, but she does a good job.

No workout today!! Sunday is my rest day. Next week is active recovery.
