Cathe Xtrain Back, Chest and Shoulders... DONE!
I don't remember what I did before I left. It was a cardio, I think it was from the Strong and Sweaty series. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure it was because I wanted to try something from that series! So Wednesday morning, the cardio from Strong and sweaty... DONE!
We had a blast! I haven't spent that much time with my sister, my niece and nephew in forever, and it was so nice to get to know them again! LB only got to swim once. However we saw Mt Rushmore, LB played pool and ping pong in the dorm while the RA's were playing beer pong next to us (I don't think LB realized what was going on), we saw Ft. Robinson which was really cool! It's like a historical area with camping. So I want to go back in the summer when the museums are all open and LB can run around! The drive was beautiful and the company was fun. I loved it!
We definitely need to plan a trip to Mt Rushmore and all the stuff around in the surrounding area. So much to do there!
So we are home. I did chest, back and shoulders from the Xtrain series, and it was great! I wasn't really feeling the workout, I was kinda tired. So it wasn't fabulous, however where burn sets were 10 reps (what I did last week), these were all 16 reps. I went much lower than Cathe, partly because I was tired and not feeling it, partly because she was using 20's on her back rows and there's no way I could do that! Maybe in my prime Firm days, but not now. 15's it is. I do need to strengthen my back though.
I skipped the last set (there were like 8 sets of 3 exercises, so I skipped #8). It was a good workout though and didn't kill me.
Saturday I took an additional rest day because we got in about 8pm on Friday, then LB had Zoologist for a Day at the aquarium. While she was there, I got a flat tire. AAA helped me get to discount tire, since apparently my car doesn't have a spare but a "fix a flat" that the AAA guy said is expensive to replace if I use it, and doesn't really do anything but limp you to somewhere else. Then, the dealership charges you $3-500 to replace the fix a flat thing. Stupid. So he inflated it and followed me to discount tire. I have an all wheel drive with snow tires, and they didn't have a match for my tire. So I had to wait until they could get a tire delivered that would match close enough, and they told me not to drive too much until they can get the matching tire in (so it doesn't screw up the differential since it's all wheel drive). So that blew through all my time. Luckily a friend's Dad picked her up, because I ran late with that!
So my car is parked, and I am driving the new beast. We named it "Diego" and my pet name for it is "the school bus" because it's so big. I can only park it if I can pull through park it! Tuesday my new tire should be in and I can go back to my small car that I can park!
Yesterday LB had a spring party to attend, then she went swimming with her friend. So she should be BEAT. Today we are meeting another friend for roller skating. Spring Break has started! HA!
The snowstorm that was supposed to dump up to 17" of snow here has fizzled out, and now we will get about 1-2". So we can be mobile through that.
Ebianco: Wow. Your poor little doggie!! Wow. What are the chances she falls twice?? I'm glad she's feeling better, hopefully there's no surgery. We got pet insurance after Otis' broken leg, so the surgeries since then aren't as painful. We'd be broke if we had to pay for them all! Isolation with the dogs is so hard, especially when you have to keep them apart. It's hard with two, I'm sure it is especially hard with more! They can't stand being in a room without their pack leader! Hopefully it's for just a short time!
I hope your weather is nice now! I would love some spring rain. I never used to worry about fire danger, but these last few years it has been a concern for sure. I am always watching to see if we get consistent moisture!
Eventmom; I forgot about TA being pregnant and not able to do her workouts! Man, that's a trip down memory lane. I wonder how old her kids are now? Also what is she up to? I used to know her life like a book, but we just haven't heard much about her lately. Which is good, because it was getting crazy with the speculations and assumptions about her. Give the woman some peace! HA!
