Hello Everyone!
Well, no workout for me today. I got home and Jeremy was itching to hang out, which happens some days, so I blew off my workout to spend time with him. He's usually low maintenance for the most part, so when that happens, I'll usually yield, unless he gets on a run with it, then I have to get stingy again with my workout time.
I was sort of bummed as I got a ton of new workouts today, but there's always tomorrow. I accidentally opened up one of the envelopes that came for me for my birthday and he ordered my Dream Body set! I am so stoked. We had ordered videos from the same place, and my other envelope came today from them too, so I got my Peak Fitness workouts as well. That's 7 new workouts. I also ordered a bunch of new Tonique workouts so now I will have almost all of those, and this Patrick Goudreau cardio dance one. I ordered these from totalfitnessdvds.com. She's having her annual sale and I am a VF board member so she gives us a 10% of code we can always use, including with her sales, so I've been going a little crazy this week on buying workouts. This should keep me busy until summer, at the least, so I'm excited to have some new workouts. I get bored so easily, I lose motivation if I'm not always trying something new.
Renee, I have heard of those Tracy Anderson Dance Cardio workouts and I had that one a couple of years ago. It was way to high impact for me so I only did it once or twice. I just could not survive that much bouncing. I now know that people do some of those on a rebounder, which seems like a good solution, but I don't really have enough room for those. I still think about getting one though.
Katie, congrats on getting through CF today! I have not done that workout in at least two months, but I do love it. I try to do all of my band work with the blue band now, ever since I started using it for CF. I figured if I could get through that with it, I could get through anything, especially for lower body work.
That one is a scorcher indeed. I'm so impressed that you were able to commit and get through that with the fitful nights you have been having lately. I'm so proud of you! I'm glad you guys have had a quiet(er) week at your house. It's been so hectic for you all lately. I hope you and the kids are enjoying having some down time....although you still sound plenty busy. I am reading a book called Germinal by Emile Zola. He's a 19th century French author that I really love.
Melissa, there are two types of recipes that he features in that bread book. The first are these no knead bread recipes that are used to make round loves, and those use the 4 qt. cast iron pans. I'm a dork so I did go out and buy them when I got the book. It helps keep the shape of the bread, since it is a relatively slack dough, but it also helps create a mini steam oven, which is important to get that crust that you find on artisan breads. The pizzas are also featured in that book, but they are made on a pizza stone. Do you have one of those? You could probably also use a pizza pan too. If you end up getting the book, let me know. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
Ladylep, I hope you had a good day today and that you're feeling ok.
Take care,
Eva
