WHOS - That article is sooo awesome! ANd ya'll ARE adorable!! I read the whole thing, Its so neat!! Woot woot! It's like you're a celebrity!!

Daddy that was a sweet article. With so many articles and stuff lately about people doing it without surgery it is awesome to see an article of how surgery can be and is an excellent choice for so many of us. You rock.

Thanks for all the nice comments ladys!

Now i can offically call myself a cover model! Ok im not letting it go to my head that much.

Hi Guys!

Well sorry haven't been around much. I did workout out Saturday, strength class, Sunday, weights, crunches and 20 minute bike (5 miles). I've had to take a few days off now cause of my little one being ill. Can't take her to the Y.

I am now using my brace for my carpal tunnel. I bought one for my ankle but it made my foot fall asleep. LOL. Not gonna work. I'm gonna buy the shoe inserts like the doctor suggested. Ugh I feel like my body is letting me down.

Heyy Daddy thats sooo cool about that article. Your famous :rolleyes2:

I can't believe I forgot to tell y'all about my spin class last week!

About 45 minutes into the class time slot, I walked out and dropped both spin classes. It was an absolute joke. The instructor was late as hell, apparently everyone in there had been taking these classes for a while and all knew each other and it was one big clique chattering away about stupid shit and they wouldn't shut up (which meant they weren't seriously working the class or they wouldn't be able to talk that much), and the instructor seemed scatter-brained and disorganized at best. Also, it was "Spin & Core" and when I came back with a black resistance band, the instructor told me to get an easier one because she couldnt do the black one, so therefore I really couldn't. I assured her I was fine with it and she persisted, which was a little embarrassing in front of the class. When she wouldn't give it up, I told her I could bench press more than she weighed and that I didn't think the little rubber tubing could out-do that...she shut up then! I was so pissed, and the longer I sat there, the madder I got, so I dropped it. Plus the actual spinning part was kind of lame, and I can do that at home.

I think Steffie has a short fuse lately...what do you think? LOL

Well good for you for sticking up for yourself anyway! Obviously you are just at a level beyond what that class was offering. :rolleyes2: Yay for not lowing your standards!

Go Steff. I just started doing spinning class and i find them a little weird but no way as dis organized as yours.

The thing i like about it best is the 45mins goes quick. Steff glad you walked outa there!

No way anyone could chat in out class.

Group fitness classes are always about the instructor. Some are amazing and some jsut blow.

Thanx for the support, as always, guys! Even though I think she earned it, I was feeling a little bitchy for saying what I did and ultimately walking out on the class. I think thats true that the class is all about the instructor and their ability to run their class. (Or not, as the case may be.) I'm glad y'all have good instructors. For me, the trainer will still be burning it up at home!

Just checking in...

Yesterday I hit my elliptical at home and did 4.0 miles and 483 calories in 39-40minutes. Then I did my own cool down exercises...

Today I hit the gym which felt good, and so I did elliptical for 35 min and strength training on abs,legs, and booty... Okay so I felt good that I atleast got to the gym...It was nice... I really don't know how people work out at home..I am sure it's because I have small kids but sometimes I just can't focus, so it is nice to hit that gym and just work out...Okay well have a great day everyone.

Good job Jess!!

I agree i cant workout at home either.

I ran today for 35 mins walked for 10 to hit 3.25 miles. Swam 20 mins.

Tomrrow i gonna hit spin class.

HEre is a photo from the YMCA this morning -10f (Its warming up :smile:)

Those are awesome I love those kinda pics whosya! What beautiful colors. Those were so neat...Thanks for sharing! I can't imagine how cold it got there these past few weeks..BRRRRRRRR.

Just to catch up and get back to posting every day...

Monday was shoulders...really tough workout. Did "Arnold Presses" for the first time...wow...kicked my butt...still sore from that one. Before the gym I was on my bike trainer for an hour.

Tuesday was chest. A lot of dumbbell work. Chest flyes are up to 25 pounds still, but able to do them slower now, which really burns! Morning bike trainer for 45 minutes.

Today was legs...oh yes, my favorite <cough>...did nine sets on the leg press...got up to 360 pounds again. I don't think I'll be pushing past that for a LONG time. And that was just where we started the workout! I'm so tired and so sore from this week. I'm also working out some at home, too...mostly concentration curls while watching a movie...LOL! Morning bike trainer for an hour.

Tomorrow is my back workout. Will post on how that goes!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

I dunno guys having a bad week. My friends son passed away it's been really hard. He was only 26. Had the wake last night. Just been a rough week with kid still ill too. This weather is bringing me down. Ankle still hurts..and wearing this wrist brace sucks. Just taking a week off I think. Decided I will go to the Saturday class for sure and start over again. Hoping by then it warms up a little. Just seems so dangerous being out in this right now. I don't have a great car either. I'm also going to do some leg lifts and stuff at home tonight. Hope everyone is doing well.
