CHM2616- you are a braver woman than me, getting up so early.:flowerforyou: I teach a combined grade 1/2 this past year and am moving up with my class [le sigh] into a 2/3 for the next year. I hear a few kids might be moving, so that will change the dynamics of the class, hopefully for the better. I was so drained when I…

I teach, too! it personally works better for me to do it when I get home from work after 4. I'll take my breaks by getting things ready for dinner, or batch cook on the weekends to make it easier. Dh doesn't usually get home til after 5:30/6pm, so that works for me. I've done the early wake up thing. for a few weeks, and I…

Everyone is doing amazing! Shoulders and Arms for me and cardio scheduled for later-going to have my mom join me for that. Muahahahha! have a great day, kids!

for decline p/u why not try just holding plank in decline for a few seconds. don't forget to clench your butt muscles. that will help keep you up. and it's ok to pyramid to your knees in pushups- you can do pushups from the knees with good form. it's not a bad thing, just try as many as you can on your toes and go to your…

me too

Awesome attitude! That's the way to make sure you are the one kicking butt, and not the other way around. Enjoy plyo/cardio tomorrow!

[/quote] Hi, I realize I'm late to the party, but the big thing with rest days are no resistance training. It's ok to do cardio if you feel up for it, have the energy, etc. But make sure you take time to stretch. All exercise with no focused stretching isn't good. [/quote] agreed. stretching is extremely important. and so…

Chest, Back and ARX done! also some Spartacus for a Doubles day!! CB was supposed to be yesterday, so tomorrow is shoulders and arms-hope they don't fall off!:wink:
-
Welcome to the group! you can do it, You can do anything. just remember to modify to suit your needs and you'll soon see changes!

From previous experience with this program, I can safely say that losing weight in the first few weeks doesn't really happen, unless it's water weight. I found that I might not see the scale move much until the second month, but my clothes start to fit better between the 2 and 3 weeks, and the inches start to fall. I only…

active rest day at the zoo! walking for about an hour, then shopping and stuff. fast food on the way home, A&W, I love you. not again for a long long time though. thank goodness I only measure every 2 weeks-I have 1 more to go to unload this sodium and bread bloat and eat clean clean clean! Stretch or the like tomorrow, my…

Do what you feel is best for you on rest days. In the schedule, you can res, do active rest (like walking swimming etc...) or StretchX. Just keep your rest day low key and don't overdo it or your body will not know what to do. You need sleep to help recharge your brain, you need body rest to help recharge your body. Or you…

Spartacus today and P90X's kenpo for a little back to back action. Then, as I needed a new bathing suit, took my son (5yo) and went to the city shopping. Oy. It was hard and long, but I did it and came out with 2 tankinis without tie-up halters and 1 bottom that will go with both, so I feel good. But tired. very tired. And…
-
Sarah, I'm glad you're staying on:flowerforyou: keep fighting! Went over to my mom's and made my sister do Spartacus with me all 3 times through, then jumped right into kenpoX today. Skipped the warm-up, since I figure, that was Spartacus LOL. 80 min of sweat, and some family drama thrown in for flava... then it was off to…
-
its a cardio day for me. I go over to my 'rents and make my mom and sister workout with me once a week. The Spartacus workout is on the docket this morning, and mabe kenpo if I can convince my sister to do it. (we'll just skip the warm up as well have already done the Spartacus!…
-
Sarah, don't quit. remember there are ways to modify everything. If you're not quite ready for plyo, try cardioX it's still tough, just not as intense as plyo, and when you are ready, move up to plyo. It still kills me every time. jus modify every thing. and if you're going to the gym, take your workout sheets with you and…
-
hmm...ok, thanks!
-
excuse my curiosity, but how did you grate cauliflower? do you think you could blanch it and mash it once it's cooked?
-
Muadeeb, core synergistics is harder than you think it would be. Its a great workout.
-
Shea, I'd have done L&B, but I want to give my ankle as much time as possible to heal before doing major stuff on it yet. So I'm rotating through the other ST's: B&B, CST, S&A and C&B-for a few more weeks. Those sneaky lunges.....
-
Back Biceps and ARX today! I think I'll not do a doubles today, as my shoulders are a bit twingy. let them rest a bit. then sweat hard tomorrow! how is everyone else doing today?
-
Cardio for me today. RushFit w/ Georges St.Pierre. killer burn
-
Thought of another tip while working out this morning. never forget that you can modify anything. A squat jump becomes a squat. a push up mods to knees or box, running into jogging into walking. also, food wise-once you've eaten what you want to for the day, go brush your teeth. that way you're less likely to eat again,…
-
I do this when I'm doing a yoga or stretching dvd on my laptop. just place the laptop by the tv and watch my show...before I know it, it's over, and so is my workout!
-
Beeps, I'm with you. It's not the number on the scale that's important to me anymore, its more the way my clothes fit and how I feel in them and that look Dh gets in his eye when I walk by. I am going to have to reread the previous pages to find out more of LP and this quiz. Is it here on MFP or in a book? Happy 4th to all…

try getting some 7's, 10's on craigslist or kijijii? also I use wrist weights (2lb) as a partial transition to help heavying up. I'll put them on my wrists or on the db handles and use them that way if there arent a lot of transitions. But sometimes I find my 10s too easy, but the 15's 100lbs too heavy. lol. so I use the…
-
CST done for me! noodle arms make typing difficult!
-
If you don't have a pull up bar at home, or have untrustworthy walls (until the reno) like I do, BUT you have a heavy table, use that. Do reclined pull ups and chins. not quite the same as pulling your whole bodyweight, but it works! Just remember to use one f the narrow ends, gives you a bit more stability, and if you're…

montreal steak spice, then grill them or make a honey mustard sauce, brown the chicken in a pan, then bake chicken with sauce and a little cheese or cook right in your spaghetti sauce or crock pot with bbq sauce for some pulled chicken on a bun or cut into strips, dip in ranch dressing, then in seasoned bread crumbs and…

I agree with Shea, my scale comes out once a week, if that. It lives under the mega pack of TP in my bathroom closet. My tape measure is one of my best friends. I'll be recording 1 a week, but every 2 weeks is good, too. Water. drink lots. I have a 1 litre jug (32oz) that I fill at least 4x a day. And I'll drink more if I…
