Morning Ladies -
This morning I did SWAT Weightloss & SWAT Strength with a Cathe stretch at the end. I also added a couple sets of jacknives with a 10 pound dumbbell for my abs. I didn't work my abs with weights for a while to switch things up and now I'm going back to weighted ab work. Workout was a little over an hour and I"m not sure how many calories I burned, as my HR monitor is acting up. Hope I don't need a new one. I also did Power Yoga with Tracey.
I'm not sure how I feel about this Yoga DVD. Either I was too sore and worked to do it and like it, or it doesn't click with me. She moves sort of fast and doesn't really hold poses that long and does lots of arm balances (which I can't do). I'll give another try at a later date.
I'm feeling mildy sore from these SWAT workouts, and oddly enough....a LOT sore in my upper legs/lower butt (have no idea which exercise is doing that!). They work your body in different ways .....great for cross training. They do lots of mountain climbers, squat thrusts, pushups with different variations on each of those moves. The strength workout was pretty tough. You lift nonstop and my muscles were very fatigued at the end of the workout. I had to keep dropping my weights lower. I used heavier weights than they did. The strength one kept your HR up also....cuz you constantly move.
I also did Lunar Yoga last night from the Lunar DVD of Shiva Rea's. It was a very nice practice. I'm going to be doing this a lot in the evenings. It was only 30 minutes and perfect.
Yve - I hope you like the shoes. Did you get the black or white? I did Yogatopia over the weekend and I learned how to get a better stretch in pigeon. She pushes on her foot to get a better stretch. I'm so happy I found this cuz I wasn't feeling pigeon too much any more without going into variations with twists and such. I've been doing that now in all of my practices. My bladder infection is only mild. I caught it before it got real bad. Yes, I don't know what's going on with the hospital job. I called HR yesterday and asked if the position had been filled and she said no. She said they were waiting for info and when I asked what kind of info? ....she replied ...they need to tell us who they want to hire.....and then said this procedure takes time! So, I think she's either stalling cuz the Mental Health part of the hospital might close.....or she's really backed up with her work. I don't know!
Jen - Yes, the questions were tough at the interview. She read them from a paper! I hate text book interviews. I have no idea what sort of info she was looking for. Sorry, no pics from me. I don't have a digital camera. The only reason I have the Avatar one is cuz it was from when I met Buckcherry (the band) and someone there snapped that pic of me on a digital and she emailed me the ones I was in.
RE: the Coca Cola job........they want somebody very advanced in Excel, Powerpoint and very "high tech" with computers, etc. Believe me, that's NOT me. I'm good on computers...don't get me wrong....but with the sorts of things they need, not sure. Actually, I probably would like the work if I was better with the computer cuz it's a lot of creative type of work. Flyers, Ad campaign stuff, and then lots of charts in Excel for sales, etc. I had to take a test when I was there. I was given data and asked to put in in a spreadsheet into a graph and then I had to copy it into PowerPoint, etc. I never did this before....but I did what I thought was right. Not sure if it's what they wanted. I told her I never did it before and she did comment that it says a lot about my character that I tried rather than just say that I couldn't do it. Anyway......don't think they'll call me for a 2nd interview.
I've gotta get going.......be back later.
