Hey ladies! Quick check in, in case I don't get back on later. Today's plan is S&H: legs & shoulders (shoulders only) and disc 26 ( I think? - Plyo legs). I was planning on just doing S&H, and then a HIIT, but figured I'd just do Plyo legs to get the same leg + cardio/HIIT factor 
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Good Morning Ladies.
Today was supposed to be my rest day but I didn't feel like taking it. I will take it either over the weekend or on Monday. I am actually considering doing my leg + chest and back STS work outs in one day over the weekend so I can rest on the other day. Hmmmm...am I crazy? M3 work outs move slow though so I think I will be okay...
That being said, this morning I did Step Blast (and dedicated it to our very own Kiki!!! ) and abs/planks from SJP. Good stuff!
So my WW weigh in was today. Down another .6#! Yay. Also was given the "you lost 5% of your total body weight" award today! Ofcourse then it tells me that I'm suddenly losing weight too fast!? WHAT!? An average of .5-1# per week is too fast!?!? Um, I don't think so! My total weight loss goal is 10#. I've lost 7# so far so I'm getting there....
Going out to dinner tonight w/family to celebrate my son's Kindergarten graduation that happened last night! It was a very cute ceremony but it was soooooo hot! OY! So after tonight's meal that .6 loss will turn into a .6 gain no doubt! Then I have Father's Day dinner on Sunday, dinner with my BF on Wednesday, a Grad party next Sunday and the icing on the cake is a weekend away at the casinos for 4th of July! When it rains it pours, I swear! It's like a repeat of the month of May!!!
Autumn:: Thanks for the link! I'll be checking it out for sure!
Kiki:: Nice work out girl! I'm gonna give SRL another shot this weekend. If I still am not happy with it then I will probably switch over to Plyo for the final 2 leg work outs. Sorry for the PS talk but I am not even a fan of it so it's Tracy you need to yell at. Not me!
Tracy:: I think it was Powerstrike 5 that I didn't care for and sold but I could be very wrong on that. It's been a while already.... Yeah there is a Bodystrikes and a Bodystrikes 2. What I was saying is that I have the original one and enjoy it so it prompted me to purchase a Power Strike work out but I ended up not caring for it. Oh well. Seriously-that horseback riding/core exercising machine is bizarre!!!!!!!!

Oh ladies, I've been such a slug the past couple of days! If done my STS workouts, but not much else. I know it's not good enough, amnd that I have to get up and move. But somehow, I've not yet made it happen.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and let you all know that I haven't fallen off of a cliff.
(Also, congrats on your WW weigh-in. What a tremendous accomplishment!)

Katie:: Good job banging out Disc 20! I say put on those pj's later and relax with a glass of wine! You deserve it! You can also have DH rub your feet while your at it!
Jen:: TY re the weight loss. Sorry you are having a tough week work out wise. Sometimes it's just not in the cards to do it all. It's okay. You'll come back strong next week. I just know it!

hello. This morning I completed STS disk 21. I wanted to do some cardio since it was just back and bi's, but I just didn't have it in me...I usually don't TTOM.
Wendy: congrats again on your weight loss! I am still holding fast to where I have been, watching calorie intake and all....my body is so stubborn!
Jenhitt: sorry about your slug-fest! I think we all do that from time to time.
Katie: hope you have a nice, relaxing w/e.
kikster & autumn: hi!
Gonna take DD's and a few of their friends to see Mr. Popper's Penguins in a bit.
Have a great weekend all.

Hi there ladies - happy Friday! I did 4DS Kickboxing Cardio only premix - pretty short and not too strenuous, so might do something more later. We'll see I should be getting weighted gloves and weighted vest in the mail today I looked at Ross and Tuesday Morning, as well as some sporting good stores without much luck - so I went ahead and ordered them from cathe.com. Should be good for a while with what I've got weight-wise now Although I'll probably get 20 lb dumbells here pretty soon down the road so that I'm ready when they are needed
Kiki - your planned workouts sound great! I'm curious about the plyo legs in M3... (and maybe a little scared)
Wendy - woo hoo on the weight loss! Congratulations!
Tracy - I went to the collage catalog right after reading all the Iliara posts from everyone - like I need more exercise videos! lol - they do look interesting
Katie - great job on Disc 20! I know you had a crazy week, good for you for getting it done!
Jen - everyone has that type of week, no worries - you'll do it! I find that if I don't feel like exercising really, if I tell myself I can stop if I want once I get started, it helps - I usually don't stop, but just knowing that I can takes the pressure off
Autumn - thanks for sending that BR link out too - I've been looking at those that you guys have been posting, looks very interesting
Hope you all have a great rest of your day!

Kris:: 4DS k/b tho it's short n sweet is one of my fave k/b routines! Add weighted gloves (now that you are getting them!) if you want to kick up the intensity a notch! Thanks re the weight loss! I've been struggling for a while now to get "the last 5 pounds off" (which has now turned into 10# cause it's so easy to do-LOL) so I am beyond thrilled to have finally found something that works for me!

Wendy - great job! 2 STS done already, that's awesome!! I'll use my weighted gloves next time on 4DS Kickbox - thanks for the advice I'm so glad WW is working for you so well, that's awesome
I did 4DS HIS cardio only premix and then Disc 7 What's up with Elmo pushups? I managed 8 extremely shakey pathetic ones, lol Will probably get a AC in a little later.
Hope you all have a great Saturday!

Kris and Wendy: woo- hoo::: on your workouts today.... I'm glad someone is checking in besides me!
Today I did BM2: both of the step portions, no upper body...I was whooped since I used 2 risers....that is tough!!! but I am trying to increase my cardio since my DH wants me to start riding with him and maybe even train for a century ride, but we'll see about that!
I also am still working on my 7 Wks to 100 Pushups and did 60 today!! woo hoo
My life is pretty boring so I suppose that this will be the highlight of my day...besides clothes shopping for my DDs.

Great work outs Kris and Tracy!
Kris:: Nice work on the elmo push ups. I can't do them very effectively either. lol
Tracy:: Yes I think you need to ride with your hubby and eventually train for a century ride! You could think of it as a bonding experience. Kudos on the push up challenge today! Thats awesome!!!!
After my work outs and lunch, DS and I played outside for a while. He got a water hopscotch game from his grandma for his B'day so we set it up and played for an hour. Very cute. You hook a hose up to it and turn on the water. The water comes up and out of the board like a fountain thru the various holes that are in it and the jumping you do makes it squirt out higher and harder at you so you get even wetter! It was also doubling as a slip n slide for DS. I need to get him one of them soon! I think I wanna try it but I'll probably break something if I do! LOL
K, off I go to do some housework before it's time to start dinner!

Great w/os today Wendy, Kris, and Tracy!!! You gals rocked it out fo sho! Candidly, I've been very tempted to be lazy lately but you all have been inspiring me to keep going strong. Thanks for that!
On that note, today was my long day - Disc 22 + LIC abs + LIC cardio premix. I LOVED disc 22. One of my fav STS w/o to date. Those drop sets were awesome! I think I just enjoyed the change of pace.
Sorry for the short post but I'm checking in from my phone. I'm "supposed" to be watching a movie (RED) with DH and his friend but I'm kinda bored.... :rollseyes: :grins: BBT!!
