Drive by: Hi, all! Missed you guys but did read posts when I had a chance.
Busy week last week. DH didn't go to his appointments as planned after the blood draw error and his general fatigue. The sarahan dust cloud seems to have really kicked up his allergies the past two weeks. This weekend he is having fewer issues. Man, it needs to go! He has to complete the rest of his blood draw this week and also see the other eye doctor and do a video call with the nephrologist. Never have heard back from neurologist. Ha. Go figure.
Two mornings this week I have gone outside to enjoy the weather at about 5 - 5:15 or so when it's been mid-70's which feels cool compared to the daily temps (mid-upper 90's and HUMID). The birds have been noticeably more vocal and seem to take note of the temporary drop in temps. We are slated for another week of heat, humidity and miserableness. Our street is a cul de sac and is a bit longer than a city block. I've averaged 2.5 to 3.5 laps. Doesn't sound like a lot but the grade of our street is STEEP. Our neighbor used to have his kids run sprint drills on the hill for track and basketball.
Anyway, managed to try all 3 of Cathe's new LIVE Burn Sets workouts. The Burn Sets workouts for upper body are NOT like X-train's Burn Sets DVD. They are like the other two weight workouts in X-train. The legs workout is an express workout with 5 rounds of squats / deadlifts / lunges. I really enjoyed it. It clocks in at 35 minutes including introduction, warm up, workout and stretch. Cathe goes heavy on this one - to the point she pauses between exercises and comments on the cardio effect. I stayed lighter for the first time through and because lately weights seem to be doing negative things for me. I enjoyed it and am considering doing it again this week.
Dusted off Kick Punch & Crunch today and did the 4th premix on the list. The abs on the ball were, well, wimpy.
JB: Hold on to your hat with the heat. Mom commented today that our grass will be dead soon even with watering and rain. She's right.
Cher: Hope you had fun with the puppy!
Karen: Stay cool!
Vannie: I hope all is well.
Waves!
