Good Afternoon Ladies!
This morning I finally did one of my virgin yoga workouts - Yoga Journal Step by Step Vol. 3: Balancing Poses for Focus & Energy. This was basically an instructional practice - 35 mins. of instruction and 20 mins. vinyasa flow although it didn't really feel like a flow - just a faster instruction. The instruction was really good. The poses were:
Mountain, 1/2 Sun Salutations; Full Sun Salutations; Lunge and Twist; Side Plank, Crane, Handstand prep, handstand, headstand, shoulderstand, plow, side twists and shavasana. I did a great shoulderstand (probably my best pose) and did really good with crane. Handstand and headstand I held for a few seconds.
Deanie - Thanks for the info about the Squeeze workout. They had mentioned it at VF. Unfortunately $$$ is tight so I'm going to have to wait a bit. I'm really trying hard not to use my CCds. I still haven't decided yet about the next couple of weeks of my rotation. I dread the thought of doing S&H Chest & Back again and at least with the X, I can work in my pulls and chins. I haven't really done any since Sunday. Although if I did S&H another week, I'd like to take a recovery week. I do find it sweet that DH brags about my lifting. I just wish he'd start again. Once in a while he says he picks up my weights and does a few curls. Congrats on DS's win! Good luck to your other DS.
Gin - Good luck with your MRI. I really hope they figure out what's wrong. I heard on the radio this morning that they were talking to Julieann and she said that Cloris has a big enough fan base that she might be in the finals! I hope that doesn't happen because it seems unfair to the people who are truly dancing. Not that I don't like her; I find her very entertaining but just not really dancing. Have a great time at your reunion! You'll probably be the fittest one there!
Have a great evening!

Hi Girls!
Thought I would post now in case I don't have time in the morning. I have to be at school early again tomorrow. (every 3rd Friday of the month)
I plan to run my usual 3 miles tomorrow morning. It is supposed to be in the 50's....brrrr! Really, that is cold to me!
Deanie~Glad your knee feels better. I try to change my shoes out every 6 months. I guess we are all three obsessed with exercise, right??
During my MRI today I tried to run through the Cathe rotation that we will be doing the next few weeks and tried to remember the RT. They put a wash cloth over my eyes and that helped, but just KNOWING that I was closed up made me anxious.
Actually, I had dark hair in HS and I probably weighed about 5# more now. I never was skinny.
What did you decide about coloring your hair?
I don't think I could do a workout on my own. The fun factor wouldn't be there for me!
Congrats on ds12's win. How was ds8's game?
Marcy~Yeah to your headstand and handstand!! Way to go!! Did you see that Tracey has a new yoga dvd on pre-sale? I know you aren't buying anything full price now. I have been curious about Slim in Six and Turbo Jam. (I think that is the name) Not sure why, though. It seems as if every time I try another workout, I never like it as well as Cathe.
I just realized that it's after 10 pm....YIKES STRIPES!!
Good Night!

Good Morning!
Did a shortened version of S&H Tris & Bis today. Too tired so wasn't able to start on time and didn't have much energy either. My itching has also come back so I'm not sleeping too well.
Overhead Extensions - Sets 1 and 2 - 23.4# - only did 6 reps on set 2 (2 less than last time)
Lying Extensions: All 3 sets 10# - probably could've gone to 12# for some but 10 felt good.
Kickbacks - 2 sets at 10#
Both sets of dips
Dbbl Curls - 2 sets at 15.4#
Hammer Curls - Set 1 - 15.4# - reps (up 2#); 13.4# - 4 reps; Set 2 - 13.4#
Skipped barbell curls
Wrist curls - 10#
Reverse curls - 5#
Abs
Deanie - Congrats to your DS! Hope you had a great workout.
Gin - I did see about Tracey's new DVD. The preorder price is really good at $12.95 and no shipping if I order by this weekend. I'll probably order it. I don't really have any restorative yoga. When do you get the results of the MRI?
Have a great day!
