Hi Ladies,
Saturday I did CH Elite: Wild Horse and yesterday I did parts of CH Elite: Rope & Ride and took a 51 min walk (2 mile) to the gas station on the main road to buy a newspaper. We got 6 inches of snow yesterday!
They said it was coming, and I figured we'd be shut in for a couple of days, at least, so I knew that if I wanted a paper, I'd have to walk. It was freezing, 28 degrees, but also quite invigorating. My street is always a mess when it snows, but I was surprised to see that they had not even cleared the main road (which is a major artery to downtown and the hospital), when I walked yesterday around 4:00 pm. I had to walk pretty slow since the roads were mostly ice (people had been out on 4-wheelers, so I tried to walk in those tracks).
I made it to over 11,000 steps for the day (I also walked around in my back yard, put some food out for the birds, and cleared all of the snow off of my car). So glad that today is a holiday, so I don't have to deal with trying to drive to work!
I bought the round Cathe yoga mat for myself for Christmas and finally took it out of the box yesterday. I love it! So I'm thinking about doing some Ellen Barrett. At the same time, I have my eye on the Pro Form spin bike on sale at Aldi right now for only $202. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of a Peloton, but it would be a good beginner bike for me to see if I even like spinning. Not sure what I'm going to do, so in my indecision, I'm mostly doing Country Heat here and there.
SB - Yay, workouts to report!
Great job! I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't end up making your back hurt worse and that you get some forward progress. Glad to hear that you are taking things slowly so you don't overdo it. Well, you were right about sampling the results from my class.
Between all of the cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and other desserts that I ended up *sampling* from class, I gained 2 lbs last week.
We had initially planned to do bread baking, but for the amount of time we have for class, it was going to take too long, so that's why we decided to switch to dessert baking and cake decorating. After the bake-off tomorrow, I'm glad that we're switching to restorative yoga.
Penguin - I don't know if you noticed that we posted at exactly the same time the other night. Good job with your workouts.
So glad to hear that your back is doing better, but sorry to hear your pulled a muscle from sneezing.
I hope it feels better soon!
Nora - Good job keeping up with your P90X halfsies and your other workouts.
I did Wild Goose Chase last week. These days I sub in a lot of moves from other CH workouts that I like better, but I still do some of those moves, and its nice to have it for the rotation.
