Morning Ladies -
This morning I did Bosu Calorie Combustion (30") followed by Tae Bo Amped Super Charged Fat Burner (30").....then since I was really getting into the Buckcherry CD I had blasting....I did some of my own aerobics for 10 minutes. The first 7 songs on Buckcherry's original CD really kick it for working out! Highly recommend it .....from Lit Up to Crushed to Dead Again to Dirty F'n Mind & Lawless & Lulu.....sometimes I skip a couple slower ones in there. They really get me pumped up. I then did Fluidity Intermediate workout (40") and Power of Strength Yoga with Ana Forest (30" premix - which was basically sun salutations...disappointing). Cardio was 70" and I burned 450 calories.
Okay, I guess I'm a wimp cuz intermediatte Fluidity was pretty challenging. Since I don't have the bar, there were a couple moves where I struggled for proper positioning cuz I needed to be sitting under the bar and pulling on the bar for support as I was lifting my legs off the floor with my back against a wall.......I winged it a bit. I did the pullups by draping my body bar across 2 chairs and lying underneath it, but it wasn't too difficult. Next time I'll go do them on the treadmill in the basement the way I learned in Barry's Bootcamp.
Re: Pandora (my cat) - I failed to mention yesterday that the poor little thing went from 9 pounds in January to a mere 6.4 yesterday....however, she was severely dehydrated....so that could have been some of the weight. She layed by my feet all night again and didn't move. She had this huge bubble of water on her side from where they injected her with the water.....and today it is now a little bubble in each leg (looks bizzare). The water was to hydrate her and flush her kidneys out and now we need to see if they start working on their own. We have to give her these huge capsules twice a day (and it's hard cuz she's very small) and she's eating special low-protein food so that it filters thru the kidneys easier. Today, she is up and around a bit....but she's wobbly and slow and weak. She's been eating and drinking ....which is good....as she wasn't at all before. She wimpers and cries for attention and is really taking advantage of all the special attention she's getting. She's afraid of rain hitting the Skylight in our Dining Room.....so I have to carry her thru that room. When she's well....she scoots thru that room quickly. So I'm praying that she continues in the upswing and continues to get better. I told her she's to young to leave us and we still have lots of good years together and she looks at me and purrs......such a sweetie. I love my cats very much.....they are just like my kids.
Jen - I'd still get one of the other Slim Series/Slim in 6 (Slim Series is the harder system) if I were you.....as Express is actually just supposed to be a compliment system to one of those and shorter for time pressed days. They are both good, but like I said, Slim in 6 is harder and has more of a variety with the workouts. However, be prepared to listen to your own music, or they can get boring. They are very VERY easy to follow, so you shouldn't have any problem. That's the only way I can do the Slim Series (actually I listen to my own music with the P90 series). I'd get P90 Masters before P90 X if you can afford it. It's a good system, but some of the workouts are a bit on the short side, but they are chaptered well so you can repeat segments to customize your workout. They have really good warm ups and stretches....which I love!
Yve - sorry you are not yourself. Hopefully you did Shiva last night and are good as new today! Yes, I'd try some Valerian Root or Calms Forte (available at Healthfood stores) (which works immediately for me).
Meg -I burned Saliva & All The Right Reasons...Nickelback for you. I was going to burn The Long Road - Nickelback....but I wanted to make sure you don't have it yet (they are my 2 favorite Nickelback's). Let me know.
Have great workouts everyone. I've got to do my neck stretches and then go to the bank and grocery store.
I'll be back later............thanks so much for all of your concern and support regarding my baby girl!

Sounds a lot like America's Funniest Home Videos crossed with So You Wanna Dance?! I'm in as long as we are not showing anybody tripping over a step and getting hurt....I don't like watching people hurt themselves!
