Today may end up being a rest day...my niece is coming over,i promised my sister i would watch her...i don't really want to leave the house:confused: its soooo cold outside and there saying there is a possiblity for snow on thursday.

i will try and bbl...
 
Good Morning,

I decided this month to do a Jillian Michaels rotation and last nite was suppose to be 30 Day Shred but I somehow got a kink in my neck and I can't turn my head to the left so it didn't get done I am also suppose to do that one again tonite but may end up doing cardio instead.

Amelia-its cold here to an the snow is suppose to hit tonite I personally have had enough. Have fun with your neice.
 
Hi Girls and Happy New Year!!:D

Amelia: Does it snow often in Georgia?

We had a weekend of just snow. I swear it snowed all weekend. My kids where disappointed yesterday when they got up. They thought school would be caneled, but we didnt' get the amount of snow they predicted.

Roxie: I hope your neck feels better.

My workouts so far:

M: Bm2 upper bodywts(1 tme through), Disc 6 of STS firewalkers and the bonus leg work and the extended stretch.

T: HiiT 30/30 (this was easier than 40/20),MMA KB core ( this was different and fun) total body stretch.

My new goals for this year is to incorperate(sp?) more stretching and yoga and of course better eating.:p

Hi Jean are you doing the new STS rotation?
 
Roxie-have fun with 30DS! hope the kink in your neck is gone so you can get it in

Elaine-Nice workouts this week! I think the last snow we got in GA was about three years ago and it was just a light dusting...there talking snow thursday so im sure the whole state will just shut down,LOL. Seriously, the grocery stores will be packed with people fighting over bread,eggs and milk:eek:

ok, just checking in. Im bored,my niece is taking a nap(finally:confused:) and ive already straightened up the house..

The biggest loser comes on tonight...anyone watching? Love that show..
 
Amelia: LOL about the whole state shutting down. People here flood the grocery store when they anounce a snow storm. The last time that I can remeber the state shutting down was the blizzard of 1978. People had to ride snowmobiles to get around.
 
Good Evening,

I just finished 30 Day Shred Level 1:

Stats:
26 min
21 in the zone
145 min hr
179 max hr
188 cals burned.
 
Good morning,

haven't really decided on my workout for today...i will bbl to report it.

Roxie-i haven't done 30 day shred in a while...mmm,maybe today

Elaine-We had a blizzard in the early 90's but nothing crazy ever since.


The weather man just said at least an inch of snow tomorrow evening so i guess we need to go to the grocery store in case were stuck here...im sure the schools will be closed friday.
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is Jillian Michaels NMTZs (No More Trouble Zones). One of my resolutions was to get up in the mornings and workout but DH has been home every morning sleeping and my workout room is across the hall.

Amelia-that workout is a good one. It is starting to snow here and we are expecting 5-7 inches. The last 5 inches hasn't finished melting yet, that makes our snow total 22 inches if we get all 7 thats the most snow we have had in years.
 
Amelia: Did you decide on your WO?

Roxie: you can send some snow our way. I like the snow. I love taking our dog out in the snow. She runs and hops all over the place. She always makes me smile. I asked Santa for snow shoes but he just didn't deliver. I guess I'll have to go and check the clarence(?sp) sales myself.:p

Hey Jean, how are you?

This morning I did L&G. I did the stretch at the end and then did the stretch from MMA KB.

I have lots of cleaning to do.

BBL
 
Hey girls, workout done. Decided on 30mins of Imax2 then the upper body section in bm2. I tried to get some yoga in but i was shaking to bad. maybe tomorrow before i do legs...

Have a great day:)
 
What a beautiful day here! I took the puppy for a 40min. treck through the snow. I'm sure I burn more calories going through the snow and all the clothing I have to wear!:D
 
Hi everyone. Sorry to have been MIA, but we were on vacation. I just got back yesterday and am way behind on everything. I have not done a formal work in almost 2 weeks. The good news is my weight has stayed in its normal range so the holidays did not do me in. Now to get back to a routine. Not sure what I should do this go around. Haven't had time yet to look at the STS rotation. Hope to get up early tomorrow and jump back into a work out.

Hope everyone's holidays were blessed. I'll have t oread back throuhg the posts to get catch up.

Jean
 
Hey Jean..glad to have you back! How was your vacation? High fives on maintaining over the holidays...

Great job with the dog walk Elaine!

just a quick check in before i head off to the store..
 
Good Morning,

Well I woke up with a headache this morning so my workout is going to have to wait until later. We have 4" of new snow on the ground and the high today is suppose to be 5 with a wind chill of -22.
 
Brrrrrrrrrr! Roxie, that is cold. Bundle up.

Amelia: what yoga DVD do you use? I need to get some.

Hey Jean did you get up and WO?

This morning I did MMA KBing. I really liked this WO. Not to high impact. I am not sure of the calorie burn as my HRM was showing 00 for my HR at times. So I think it was around 280 cal. I did the stretch at the end of MMA KB and the Boxing DVD too.
So far I like the MMA workouts. I still have MMA fusion to do and a few others still to view.

Okay gotta go and shower and walk the puppy.
 
workout done as planned...except i did the legs first then yoga afterwords

Roxie-Good grief..that's COLD! hope your headache goes away soon...

Elaine-I have the biggest loser weightloss yoga. Its fun! Bob is the instructor in it, really like him. Its the only yoga workout that i own(so far). Im looking into some more. Ive tried p90x yoga and it was pretty fun, but i like bob better than Tony:p

Hey to Jean:)
 
Good Morning

We got about an inch of snow yesterday. Schools are closed today,thank goodness because i didn't want to get the kids out in 19degree temps. Im so glad i live in GA and don't have to deal with snow alot... :eek:

I didn't sleep very well last night, my lab mix decided she was going to have a very loud conversation with all the dogs in the neighborhood. She just kept barking:confused: i was in and out the whole night. she finally got tired around 4am:mad:

Today will be cardio and some abb work. Probably PH abbs,its simple yet effective.
 
Amelia: Your colder than we are here!:eek: I woke to 23 degrees, but Roxie's cold weather is heading our way.:( My Lab/mix puppy barks a lot when a storm is coming, but then she barks every time she goes outside. :confused:

Hi Roxie and Jean what is on for today?

I did Circuit Blast this morning. I had to modify a few moves and I was interupted by my DS(8) who wanted breakfast. Some nerve!:D
I liked it. It was very fast paced in some parts and others not so.
I burned 217cal in 46min. I had to stop and rewind a few parts because I was trying to catch my breath. The weight sections are more functional than traditional. A fun WO that will take me time to master. :)
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is Jillians Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I haven't really commited myself to this rotation and I can't figure out why.

Amelia-anothe cold day here and they have kept the schools closed because of it.

Elaine-sorry to hear you are going to get these temps. Good Job on your workout.
