Essentrics waist trimmer and arms... DONE!
Essentrics legs... DONE to the barre segment!
So this is the Sahra one, not Miranda. There are two workouts on the DVD, and I did almost both of them. I ended at the barre because I was getting some texts and it took up part of my time so I ran out of time.
Although I remember not liking Sahra to the point of not getting any other essentrics workout, this was a good workout! She is much better at cuing than Miranda is. Lots of stretching for the abs, and the ab segment was actually pretty good! The arms weren't killer, and overall I enjoyed the workout. I still think she tries to be a bit too.... I don't know... updated? Snobby? More uptight than her Mom? It just reminds me of those movies where young hip people are in a trendy apartment all meticulously decorated, drinking martinis and talking like they are more sophisticated than they are. It was a good workout though.
I enjoyed the leg part too, although I only did maybe 10-15 minutes of it. My inner thighs were aching from the basics workout I did before, so I didn't go full on this one. But it was still OK.
We ended up not meeting the friend at 1, so we got more school done. LB had a birthday party to go to at 3:30 (homeschoolers scheduling parties! HA!) so she did that and we went to Urban Air. That place was a madhouse! It was so loud and constantly kids running by. There must have been 7 or 8 birthday parties going on around us! It was fun! I'm glad to see they are still doing OK through all of this. We got home late (after 9pm) so I just went to bed.
Today we have trunk or treat and kids night out, so another busy day but lots of costume wearing for LB, so she's happy!! I woke up and looked at the house and thought "I really need to work on this again." So I am going to try to fit some house picking up and cleaning in today.
Ebianco: Ugh. I've had those co-workers. I usually try to hide from them. I don't think I have ever gotten to the point of losing it on them, but I'm sure I've come close. I'm more of a "say something snarky and run" personality. Usually when they are standing there, trying to figure out if I was serious, I'm gone. HA! I'm sorry it got to the point that there was an argument. That's difficult at work! Nothing like adding more stress onto the stress you already had
I have the Cathe ICE workouts! I don't think I have ever done one though. I apparently liked the idea of them though. I should put them on my list to do! Once I feel completely recovered and get my cardio back... because Cathe is HARD!
I guess I made up for the "no abs" in TT2, by doing the essentrics. I love Firm abs, but I suppose when they don't put abs in, there are so many other ways to do them! I did love this. I should get a backup of it because the only copy I have is the one I got on eBay years ago from "Thailand" and it's a copy. So far it still works, but I want to make sure I have a backup of the good Firms I do a lot just in case!
Eventmom: I believe it! (that cardio is the first to go but fastest to come back) I need to work on my cardio for it to come back though. HA! I guess in a way I am by doing the Firms, however on my off days from Firm I am doing easier cardio-wise workouts. I will get there, it just stinks until I do. Cardio is what I hate the most, so trying to rebuild it just makes me cranky. I hate being out of breath.
