I'm back again. I have to avoid the children. At least when I'm on the computer they think I'm working. Too bad DD#1 can read so well now; she's harder to fool these days.
The KPC/LG premix is one of my very favourites. It's a ton of fun. You start with the KPC warm up and intensity drills, then circuit the LG standing work with the 3 KPC combos. It finished with KPC stability ball ab work and stretch. Very, very nice workout.
BTW, go into this premix through whichever workout is listed on the right hand side of the screen. The workout on the left side skips over combo#1.
What an aggravating morning, though! Interruptions on top of interruptions. I wish I'd just gotten up at 5am and done it! Instead I chose to catch some extra rest. Oh well. At least I did it.
TracyX - I would recommend Amy's All-Pump Extreme only if you want a creative workout similar to Cathe's Power Hour or Muscle Endurance. The worst part of the week is over with, I think. Today I have kids here, tomorrow there will be children here, and Sunday's still up in the air as to what we're going to be doing. Personally I'm sooo ready to be back to my routine. I've completely abandoned the idea of getting any work done for myself this week. I think I might just do PUB tomorrow, as you suggest. And a short cardio of some sort.
LaurieX - Thanks for stating your goals. I'm going to use BG a lot, too. I'd like to do one lower body workout with BG a week, and one using heavier weights, like GSLegs. But then I'll miss the pull/chin ups in Legs & Back. So how do I get around that? I'm still working out the kinks, obviously.
DebraX - No, thankfully I didn't have to go to Chuck E Cheese this week! But West Edmonton Mall is about equivalent. This is the "world's largest mall" (owned by the same people as Mall of America), and has a full amusement park inside. I spent yesterday going on ride after ride after ride, while children jacked up on sugar and junk food screamed in my ears. Your DD's comments during the ab routine were priceless!!! I don't know how you were able to continue, and not laugh. Adorable! The pictures of Julia and Molly are beautiful! Julia is precious. Can she come over and play with my Paris? Molly looks very sweet. Please put your face close to hers and ask "Who's the good dog? Who's the good doggie??" while scratching her head.
Katie - April 9 it is!! Jeanette and I followed the diet pretty closely for Phase 1. At the end of Phase 1 I said forget it and went back to doing my own thing. Jeanette moved onto the Phase 2 eating, and has pretty much stayed with that, I think. I'll have to let her speak for herself
You're in an apartment temporarily? Are you in the process of moving?
LeaX - Here's a hot water bottle for you and a hug ((((LeaX)))). I love those days when you can slough around in bed and avoid life. I haven't had one in more years that I can remember. I hope you feel better really soon. At least you'll be through this before starting the X. No need to apologize for the "misunderstanding". I never gave specific details. Thank you for posting your goals. I'm enjoying reading them. I have a Costco membership, and never thought about buying fruit & veggies there. That's a great idea. I'll have to think about doing that myself. Heck, you won't miss me because I'm attached to a computer with an umbalilical cord. We're going to stay with my parents in Ontario at the end of April, for a week. It will coincide with my P90X recovery week, which will make the working out more convenient while I'm there. I won't be off-line the whole time; I'll sneak on at their house when I get a chance.
Wendy - Are you sure you're not Briee???? And if you're not, then you two should meet. She's a regular on the chin up check in, and she's a hoot: 6 kids, homeschooling, works out hard. Frankly, when I read your idealic-sounding existence, I wonder if you're not making it all up!
Thank heavens there's a young pregnancy and an ex-husband in the picture LOL! How did you like PlyoX? Ah, I see that you posted already. That's a hoot about DH! If his butt is sore today....My DH is doing P90, and feels it badly enough. P90X would kill him.
TraciX - Phew!! You're here! I was getting worried about you. Dang tootin' right that DH should go get you the cord! On your birthday, to boot! I gave you some good wishes on the open forums. Will there be cake this evening? I think JeanetteX has the crown for being the oldest jewel in our group. Not sure.
You're hoping to drop another 6% of BF? My! What happens if a famine hits? You'll be the first to go! (You can never be too prepared). I'm probably going to start my weights at the same point as my first Week1, then bump them up where necessary. I also asked DH to stop and buy me some 35lb dbs for the lawnmowers and heavy pants. My own 27.5lbs (25lb db + 2.5platemates) dbs felt too light for those right from the start last time. Yay! New equipment!! Did you ever get my response to you after you emailed me the worksheets? I never heard back; just hoping you don't think I ignored you. I'm not sure if it's cheaper for you to send the Finn dvd to me. I'll have to check it out. Thank you for the offer!!
Okay, the children have just called for a bandaid, so I'd better go!
