Trying To Fit Yoga In for Sund Feb 11

[lorajc]

Morning - well - Jen - It looks like it's you and me girl!!! I wonder what happened to Meaghan and Yve, etc.

This morning I did Cardio Coach #4 on the treadmill and just a couple sprints on the elipitcal. I also did Tae Bo Amped Live (45"). Total cardio was 1 hour and 40 minutes and I burned 647 calories. I also did Rainbeau Mars Yoga Dusk series (45").

I'm not as excited about my job interview (for the hospital) tomorrow, as I rec'd a letter in the mail from the hospital stating that one of the Campuses closed and that there will be "much" bumping over the next year due to job loss. Just what I needed to hear, right?? Oh well, I guess God will put me where I'm supposed to be and if that means getting back in the hospital for a while and then bumped out again, so be it. I guess I best just learn to roll with it........as it seems this is the way my life is going to go from now on.
Jen - (do I even need to address this paragraph to you? LOL) - I'll have to try increasing with Jari. I might do one or 2 of her routines this week. I always just turn the sound down and watch the screen, as they tell you what exercise, weight load at the beginning of each segment, right? I can't really remember. Either that, or if I really need to hear her, I just turn up the TV a bit so I can hear the cues and blast my stereo with my music! I do this with most Beachbody programs - other than Turbo Jam and Hip HOp Abs....and most everything else besides CIA, Evolution, Cathe, Seasun, Amy Bento, or Kelly Coffey. I tend to like most of the music on these DVDs. Do you ever rent CIA's from Netflix? Do they have Criss Cross Cardio or Double Cardio yet? If so, you should try them. I really like the music. Have you ever done an Evolution video? or Seasun Zeiger? Do you like somewhat complex step?

Well, I better go get ready to get my bath. I've got Ebay business to take care of. I got another order yesterday. A couple bottles that I didn't think I'd like ended up being good......Khandita, Eshe - Life in Death & Parliment of Monsters (the latter 2 from Carnival Diabolique). I'm really loving the Snake Pits. So far, I love Boomslang, Temple Viper, Asp Viper, Coral Snake!!! (mmmmm....this is so good), and King Cobra. Also, Tireasis the Androgyne is my most favorite from the Carnivale so far. It's lovely and deep.

Hi Lora! LOL! I guess I'll just get right to personals! Mardi Gras party was good last night, just still not my thing. I really loved the decorating though. And dressing up gave people something to talk about. My DH wore a jester hat w/ bells on it that was green, gold & purple sequined along with some elton-john looking mardi gras sunglasses. He was the hit of the party! I wore tattoos on my arms and a headband in my hair with very tall feathers of all colors sticking up. I also had a stick-on necklace and beads and bracelets. The owner of the company was there and he was wearing a feather boa & a tiara!!!! Priceless!!!! He just started his vacation, so he was much more relaxed than at the office.

I did not get my WO in from yesterday , since I did too much running around. It doesn't look like I am going to get in today's either, but we'll see. There's still time. And I have been known to work out as late as 8:30 or 9:00. Regarding Netflix, they DO have some of the CIA videos and specifically both that you mentioned...I have them in my queue already. Have your Gilad's come in yet? I think the other 2 in the series will be my next ones to come in from Netflix, unless YBB finally gets returned by someone. I have not a clue why they only have YBB and not any other beachbody programs. I didn't think Netflix had very good variety w/ their workouts until I really started looking up some of the instructors you mentioned. Most of it (of course) is the older stuff, but I was amazed to discover how much they really do have. For example, they carry quite a bit of Tae Bo ....but also quite a bit of Denise Austin wait, that deserves a double x(. They have a few Seasun's and Christi Taylor's, Lotte Berk, Patrick Goudeau, Janis Saffell, and also lots of beginner yoga and bellydance. I do like complex step, but I really have to be in the mood for it and I just haven't been lately. I haven't done any Cathe step for weeks and she is probably way less complex than what you're doing now, but I would consider her the most complex I've ever done. Nothing feels better than mastering those moves, but sometimes I just want to WO without "all the fuss".

Good luck with your job interview tomorrow. At least you will be on familiar territory! That stinks about them bumping jobs again. If you get this job and get bumped again, will your time in service get you any additional cumulative senority?

I am glad you are enjoying the Snake oil variations... I figured they would be good!!! Of the imps we got with our last order, Voodoo is becoming a household favorite! I think we will end up getting a larger size of it sometime in the near future.

Hi to all that check-in today! We've missed you!

Jen

P.S. Did you see the question about Hip Hop Abs on the OD board? I think your *fans* are waiting for a review from you!

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is well.
This morning was 60 minutes pilates - We did some exercises with the foam roller - ie - sit ups holding it - and lifting our body all the way to sitting while holding it up above our head. We also do pushups with the roller - ie the roller under our knees, while doing pushups, our knees on the floor and roller under our hands, and also - the roller being held in one hand. It is quite difficult for me as it incorporate alot balance work too. My fav exercise is lying down on the roller, and doing leg work - ie leg circles. As well as being good for strength - it really helps with releasing the muscles in the back.

Lora - best of luck on your job interview - hope it all goes well.

Jen - What a party that was. Love the feathers in the hair idea - and the beads.

Have a nice evening everyone.

Yve
