So, Liffe, what are you doing in Costa Rica? Living there? Permanently? We went there on vacation last year and had a super time - loved the white water rafting.....

Wow! And look how deep she's going on the squats. I'm impressed!!

I couldn't help but notice what a cute round butt she has -- squats, anyone?

Holy crap... I've been trying to do overhead squats with my kettlebells and they totally suck.

Pat, we may make it to Costa Rica next year, we aren't sure.

Yes Pat I saw them. Our original plan was to go last year except it got bumped. We were thinking of trying white water rafting this year so maybe if we do and i'm adventurous enough, we can try it down there. I'm a big chicken though

The only person who went overboard when we went jumped in! You certainly do stand a good chance of getting wet though. It's Alaska where whitewater rafting gets interesting - they outfit you in a dry suit! And you'd better use the restroom first. It's a chore to get in and out of those things. There's an outfit near us that does a solstice whitewater trip - you start at 10 pm! Well, it may be light, but it gets pretty dang cold out on the water that time of night. You finish up about 1 am.

Okay. I'm having a serious case of squat envy. Thanks Baffled. Don't you love the CrossFit videos though. Inspiring.

Great video - my squat is one of my weaknesses.

Ok - the solstice white water rafting sounds so cool - definitely going on my to do list.

We have just moved to Costa Rica. We are going to be here 2-3 years for dh's job. It's such a great opportunity!

Today I broke my pathetic break from the gym. If I didn't get pregnant this cycle I need to come up with better strategies to deal with the fatigue from the fertility drugs for next cycle. It's destroying my training.

I hope you don't think that you'll feel less tired being pregnant....

This is the company that does the solstice trip

Oh my pat.

We are looking at white water rafting trips in PA (Ohio Pyle?) and possibly WV. DH did one in NM last year and loved it.

Thanks Waterrat.

I know pregnant = tired - but at least then it will be for a cause. Now it just feels like an empty promise.

Hi LWL,

WOW! on the video link. Totally incredible. Anybofy has any idea how much weight this was? it looked like ginornmous to me. And yes, definitely a case of lift like & look like a godess.

That said, I did my 2nd week of NRWL, workout 1B this morning, and I did 36 mins elliptical with c25k week 8. I am getting a bit of energy bak, but unfortunately I also get very hungry so it is a struggle. weight is up again, and I my muffin top is really getting out of hand. Strenght of will....

Have a great day all,
Rabbit
