Yesterday I really did not want to do the workouts I had planned so I compromised with half fun, half planned. I did Misty Tripoli's Bootylicious off Delicious Dance for the first time, which was fun. Then I did 5 rounds of a desk jockey WOD from March. My pull up bar is down right now so I can get in and out of the Halloween closet so for the hanging knee raises I just held myself up on TheRack like it was a dip station and did them that way. It hit the abs the same but lacked the hang benefit. Then I did another virgin, WWE Stephanie McMahon Fit Series -Lower Body+Stretch. I know I hadn't done the lower body section, but since I had done the upper body it's possible I did the stretch too. I couldn't find the index card for it in my quick search so I can't say for sure right now. The workout was 2 rounds of the following exercises: goblet squats, reverse lunges, deadlifts, quadruped straight leg raises (with your chest on your thigh, which was kind of weird) and donkey kick circles. First round was 8 reps, second was 12. Not a bad workout but my biggest gripe is that she leads you through a couple minutes of warmup and THEN demos the exercises. Drove me crazy to have to just stop when she should have demoed before the warmup!

Thanks for the PM, Helen!

I really really want to get back to a good routine. I feel like a helium balloon that lost its tether! So I decided I want to just go ahead this week and finish all the decorating except for my cemetery in the yard since hubby needs to mow still. That part won't take long to do the first week of October. If I can get everything up maybe my brain will shut up about the excitement and just enjoy it all so I can focus on other things!

Buff, just click the link! I posted them on the TF forum since it's visible to the public.

My lower body is still sore from Monday's WWE workout!

Vannie goes all out on Halloween. Of course she's no slouch at Christmas. I think I've received a fitting birthday card with heartfelt message every year for probably the last ten years from Vannie. She's a special kind of sweet.

Aww, thank you, Sandy. I very much value your friendship over all these years!

How festive Vannie. I can't even imagine doing all that but can certainly appreciate when someone else does. The pups never disturb it?

Nope, none of them have ever bothered it. Cyric sniffs things some as they go up but has never bothered anything after. Today he actually found the one open way to get under the table and laid there. Crazy dog! Pretty sure it was only bc I was in the kitchen all afternoon.

Sandy - How was Kassandra's latest? I saw how long the holds were and picked another. 5 min holds are long enough for me. I did pick a long one that I hadn't done before though.
