Morning Yogini's -
I ended up doing Barry's Shoulders & Back followed by the non-Treadmill cardio (modifying some on the Rebounder) and then I did 2 drills from CIA Absolute Kickboxing with Kimberly Spreen (really getting into a kickbox phase here)- 1 combat drill with the weighted bar and one without. I didn't want to stop but......ended up doing a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes with cool down and stretch. HRM states I burned 390, but my resting HR is not set correctly as the battery was just changed.
I also did Anusara Yoga with John Friend - Sitting for Meditation(Hatha yoga practice that felt wonderful - 45") and Keli Roberts Spine Roller Massage workout 30". I tell ya, I'm going to be real grumpy when I go back to work and lose all of my extra workout time! (Yve - i really liked this a lot more than the last time I did it).
I just love the music in the new CIA's. I actually did an older Tae Bo Live last week or so for about 10-15 minutes and took it out cuz the music is just not as good as it used to be. I think that the new CIA's are the best for music. It's like Tae Bo Live's music was only updated for the current time! One recognizable song was that song that goes "check it out now.....funk show brother.....check it out now". It's got that sort of hip/hop vibe. I'd much rather here that song than "Buttercup"!!! LOL!
I hope my BPAL order comes today.
Yve - I'm officially starting to worry about Jen now. She hasn't checked in for a few days. I hope she's okay.
Re: the house stuff - Let me just add that if I would have had to buy a home the Realtors set up for me to see, I'd never have bought a house. They showed us the crappiest houses and in neighborhood's I wasn't even slightly interested in!! I really think the good realtors are few and far between (sorry to offend any realtors). When I was purchasing my first home, we went to an reputable agency and wanted to purchase a house. The woman we met with laughed in our faces when we told her we didn't have money saved in the bank, etc. She told us to come back and see her when we had $5000 in the bank!! Well, I listend to her about one evening and the next day the wheels were turning and I found out about purchasing a house by FHA (which a government assisted way to buy a home with a small down payment). Due to the fact that it's government related, there's a lot of paperwork and closing takes long...etc. Anyway, we are now in our 2nd home and I'd love to go tell that woman that and the fact that we still don't have a bank account with $5000!! We put all of our extra money in Retirement Funds, 401 K's, etc. She was just lazy and didn't want to go the extra mile!
Anyway, to get back to the point, my home purchases were VERY important issues in my life, as I have a hard time feeling at home if I'm not comfortable. My fear has always been to buy a house and never get used to it and never feel at home there. That's why I think it's so important to take matters into your own hands Yve! I hope you don't mind my saying all of this.....but I just know what you're going thru (and it sure can be stressful!) and it sure would be nice to start your life off with your new husband in a home that you two can decorate, be comfortable and begin your life as a married couple together! Okay....enough of my babbling.
Did you decide to get the Mones Anusara DVD? or are you going to wait until I try it?

We have a new internet monitoring system at work that is super-sophisticated and although I am usually pretty good, I am now going to have to be extra, extra-good and that means no checking from work anymore.
