hi all!
home for a few before we head to the nursing home for my mom's bday party. she is 84. hoping it will be a good day for her and she will know who we are, but never sure what you will get when you go to see her
. nygel's master class went well, and then both my oldest son and daughter had a rehearsal for their solo parts in st. paul. had lunch at a tibetan restaurant, came home and walked bugsy (henri is doing so much better, but still not in the mood for walks). it actually feels like spring here today! the sun is shining and the snow is melting. i am so ready for winter to be over!
i got my workout in this morning. wish it could have been longer but will have to wait til next sunday (my next day off) to do an ultra long one. i did add tabata 1 and core 1 to BS bis ands tris. tomorrow is legs-- all sections
.
renee-- i wish i could do raw, too. i have a friend who does it, but it is a lot of prep work and it is expensive, so i dont think i could swing it now. vegan is easy here in the city, though i know some people who say they have to just be vegetarian cause it is too hard going places (i.e. out to eat, parties, etc) and not being able to do cheese or dairy. i have found it to be pretty easy, though there have been the times that we have gone somewhere and i am living on fruit because that is the only option. that happened at a wedding rik and i went to-- the vegetarian dish was pasta with cheese in it-- luckily they had fresh fruit, so i ate a bunch of that.
melissa-- i think you are entitled to ice cream and potato chips once in a while
, you work hard and should be able to enjoy a treat here and there. i figure so long as we stick with it most of the time and get our workouts in, we are still healthier than most. enjoy your rest day!
so i am intrigued and will have to go look at the tonique workouts. i have to say, i am picky with who i work out to. my sister loves jillian michaels and i just cant take her tough attitude and could not stand doing her dvds. i did like jackie warner, but the cardio is just not enough with her. i used to like karen voight back in the 90s-- loved her energy sprint video. i think i can only work out to down-to-earth teachers. i shoudlnt say this, but i did training in yogafit years ago and just about wanted to smack beth shaw with her sing-songy voice
. you run into that a lot with yoga and different instructors who are so fake in class and so different then they are in real life. that is also why i like bryan kest. he's not putting on a show, but just teaching a class and making you sweat.
same reason i guess cathe is my favorite.
okay, leaving here in a few so i better get off the computer now.
