Morning Ladies -
This morning I did Fat Burning Fusion with Ellen Barrett. It was 47" long and I burned 285 calories. Low intensity, stretchy feel good cardio. I also did Namaste Yoga - Lotus Link 23".
I liked this yoga session also....but it has a LOT of reverse planks and my shoulders are really irritated. I'm glad I gave these a second try.
This is the new Ellen Barrett. While it felt good to stretch the spine and move differently, it sure wasn't very intense. This will strictly be a "recovery day" workout for me. The music got on my nerves in the beginning...but then I didn't notice it so much...so either I got used to it or the irritating song was over. There is no toning on this DVD. It is low intensity cardio with lots of plies, tondues and other ballet/pilates inspired movements. I added some propulsions and might have even added a few plyo plies. She took the intensity up here and there and brought it back down here and there. I still love Ellen......but I guess I'll only see her on my recovery days.
Not sure what movie we are going to today...can't decide. That Ben Stiller movie looks funny, but so does the one with The Rock and I just love him.
Celebrated my birthday at Mom's last night. I requested angel food cake with low fat whipped cream and strawberries....but then she bought me marshmallow/caramel choclate cups from my favorite chocolate store and a caramel apple with pecans. There goes my diet this weekend. I don't mind the caramel apple, but I don't need the chocolate! I'll share with my DH!
Yve - my foot is okay. I'm having some muscle pain in the top of my foot as my foot adjusts to being out of the boot. I probably need to do a foot massage soon. I haven't really done that much cardio on it yet.....so it's too soon to tell. Thanks for asking. Good luck with your celebration this weekend and happy birthday to your lovely Libra husband!!! How will you celebrate?
Jen - I called on the tickets and they was a delay in shipping, but I should have them soon. I don't really like Liz Phair....but not really too familiar with her music either....so I'm not sure. Ravi & Ana have new stuff coming out soon? I missed that. What are they making?
Christine - I bet Jimmy looks funny ......little conehead!! I don't know what I'd do without my babies right now. Sometimes, they are the only thing in my life that keeps me from going under! That unconditional love sure is great.
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.......but my midlife crisis continues. I wonder if I'll ever come out of it??
Have a great day. I'll be around later.
