Hi Linda,

hope you are not coming down with something. Listen to your body.

hugs Mischa

you are better to take it slow if you do not feel well. I know you will be as right as rain soon.Sorry could not help the right as rain thing, that is all it has done here for days. Love ya, Lynn

Thanks guys... but the only reason I didn't feel well was my own doing... I will be fine tomorrow!

I hope you will be back soon, We miss you around here. Talk soon, Lynn

Used the Stationery bike for 25.13 minutes, speed 13 to 18 mph, 7.65 miles & burned 388.4 calories. Not as good as I was doing but I will build back up. I will try to do the Denise tape tomorrow… hummm, we will see. I hate getting sick! (don’t we all?) I will add the rest in slowly as I feel up to it; I am going to catch up… just wait and see!

Lynn, glad you are here!

Linda, this looks like a good work out to me Don't push your body so hard....let it get back to full energy

hugs and have a good day

Mischa

Thanks for the concern & support, Mischa… I am going to take it slow… one day at a time…

Stationery bike: 30.04 minutes, 8.55 miles, about 18mph & 429.9 calories burned. I was going to do the Denise Austin 10 minute w/o, but got up too late and the kids were watching a video, so couldn’t use the VCR… but I really didn’t want to anyways. I am going to set my alarm and get up early tomorrow and see if I can get them done…

Linda super workout...420 plus calories burned...that's pretty darn good

Glad you are feeling better.

hugs Mischa

I decided not to do the crunches from Fat Wars... Denise's w/o works the abs quite nicely! I am doing Level One, but when I get used to it I will go to Level Two...

Saturday (yes, I am going to do them Saturday!) I am going to up my weights to 8 pounds, except for the Dumbbell Side Laterals, which I will keep the same. I barely can finish the reps with the 5 pounds.

Took 5000 mg (5g) L-Glutamine right before & after my w/o...

I used the Stationary bike tonight... will try doing Denise Austins Pilates tomorrow...

18.42 minutes, 5.40 miles, 271.60 calories burned & about 18 mph... not a long enough w/o, but it is a start... gotta keep trudging along here... I will make it though.
