Cleo-Last night I saw the summer check in post you had started and your post looked very lonely. I should have posted but I didn't. Sorry for you leaving you all alone yesterday. :-(
Jessica-So when do you start Aug 04 rotation?
Marie-Where'd you go? Did we lose you?
Yesterday was my rest day although I was supposed to do the stability ball ex's from pyramids that I forgot to do the other day. Well, never got to it so it's on the board for today. Ofcourse today calls for PLB plus Basic Step so I guess I'll be doing the stability ex's TWICE!}( }( }(
Good morning! I am still so bummed about my lost workouts, sigh. I haven't reordered anything because it seems so wasteful, you know? I keep hoping they will turn up. Anyway, so Saturday I did one of the Timesavers which included abs. Yesterday was PaintMax as we are having the house resided and had to replace a couple of doors.... guess who got to take care of them?
I am not sure what's on the schedule for today. I have some errands that I have to run and a whole crew of workmen looking in the windows, lol.
How was everyone's weekend? Nothing exciting here. Just more errands for the apartment - although I did take a shopping break on Friday to buy some clothes and some brown boots - it was a tax free weekend on clothing/shoes and some other back to school stuff so I HAD to take advantage of that!
I haven't officially started Aug 04 rotation yet but I feel I am still working out b/c Saturday my Dad and I picked up our new sofa but SO conveniently had to work so I helped my dad carry it across the parking lot and up the stairs to out apartment! Yesterday we helped a friend move and SO and his friends were impressed by my strength :7
Today I have errands in the morning but this evening is looking free for some L&G and running (first day of Aug 04). I hope exercising will help me get my eating back on track. I haven't gained any weight (all that heavy lifting) but I'm losing definition I had.
Marie, I hope your tapes are just misplaced and will turn up.
Marie--Have you worked out yet today? If you haven't, you definately should! Don't let those construction workers hold you back! Show off that "Body by Cathe"!
Jessica--Let me know how it goes tonight if you start the rotation!
My legs are feeling AWESOME, btw, since I have started this rotation. I get some DOMS but for the most part, I am just feeling very strong! As a matter of fact, I did PLB today and discovered that I will need to kick my weights up a notch the next time! All of the exercises were too easy!!! :7 :7 :7 There are a few tiny exceptions to this though ...
#1) The stability ball work is just plain old CRAZY! I was not even capable of performing some of the moves on the ball! I will have to use my fanny lifter next time...:-(
#2) My calves HATE Cathe during PLB. I can't make it through the calf work at all! I make it through the first set and then I do just a few resp from the other sets and that's it. I'm WEAK! lol
OK Wendy, I forgive you for leaving me out in the cold yesterday ;-). Glad to hear that your legs love this new rotation! I've been looking at the Aug '04 rotation for awhile, so I'm very interested to hear about your guys' results.
Since I'm only working out for this week (on vacation next week), I'm trying to get a little bit of everything in. Today I did ME again, and Cathe kills me on those evil bicep curls!}( I think I'll do BC tomorrow, but I'll do the "Everything But Core" premix and then do the core work plus a segment from Ab Hits (or Pilates, depending on my mood). I'm still debating what rotation to focus on once I'm back. My new Gym Styles are pretty tempting siting there in their unopened jackets!
Jessica, I know exactly what you mean about impressing others with your "moving strength"! Isn't it awesome! I ended up moving and rearranging all the furniture in the living room and office by myself (I didn't like where the guys had dumped some of it), and you should've seen the look on their faces when they saw what I did!
Well, I'd better go! Marie, good luck with the renovations - give those workers a good show!
