There is a crossfit gym next to where I got my emissions test yesterday... I almost walked in for info, but just can't commit to it right now. Sadness...

Speaking of Crossfit, there is actually another Crossfit gym in the area but it is actually more of a kettlebell gym. I love kettlebells but I have those at home I looked and they say the price is cheaper (about $120). The hours aren't that great though. They also have a free intro class this Saturday! Except we are dropping the dogs and cats off on Saturday (early as we have a 6am flight the next day).

I'm wondering if I can send my husband off to his parents to drop the cats off

I luv playing on the rings! I feel about 8 years old again.

I've discovered one of the benefits of my new schedule: there is NO time to snack. I've lost about 5 pounds without really doing anything different (and less cardio!). I'm hardly ever home and only eat the food I pack.

Nelie- Where are you off to?

Nelie- Now I remember that trip! It sounded so fascinating that I was looking at it also. Have a GREAT time if I don't "see" you back on the boards. And take LOTS of pictures! I still love to look at your Antarctica pictures.

My legs and butt are so sore from yesterday's torturous WOD. It was a partner WOD: one person rows while the other runs 400 meters, then switch. For 20 minutes. That doesn't sound very long, but it felt like an hour! I'm a slow runner....my poor partner was a good sport about it. We actually did really well (scre was based on total calories on rower) because she rowed longer than I did dueto my turtle-esque running Not sure she was !

Welcome back, Pat!

Just popping in to say Hello!

Nelie, I wish you a wonderful and safe trip to Belize. How exciting!

I'm enjoying the discussion about crossfit. I'm a long way away from being able to participate in something like that, but I'll get there someday!

Have a wonderful weekend All!

Have a wonderful time Nelie! Can't wait to see the pics!

Pat: Isn't wonderful to come home from a trip and not see any fallout on the scale or in the clothes. During my trip to Puerto Rico I was certain to see an increase, nah. The change of food and activity actually resulted in a loss which I've maintained. Wierd. Nice to fall into a familiar bed after traveling too. I agree.

Hey Mel.

Just popping in to check on everyone. Decent workout today. DS had a playdate after kindergarten. (Still frustrates me that he is in school for only two hours a day and my workouts this year have had to short changed...) Anyway, today I was able to get in a very satisfying workout. Such a great release.

I also picked up Starting Strength from the library today. After skimming through the book and reading paragraphs randomly I've decided I really need to own this book. Too much good stuff in there for me not to have right on hand to refer to.

And speaking of books, I saw this one at Barnes and Noble today. Have any of you read this, Die Fat or Get Tough.

http://www.amazon.com/Die-Fat-Get-To...876850&sr=1-15

Any thoughts about it. I wanted to browse through it but it was sealed in plastic at the store. Guess I will need to buy it. The library doesn't have it either.

Back to the workouts...with great envy I watched a young gent complete kipping pullups this morning. I can the standard pullups, about six to eight unassisted but if I could do kipping pullups I would rule the world...I'm pretty sure this was something Cheryl could do too or was working on...I'll go check videos and see what I can learn. I know...CrossFit is the answer. Right? I humored myself by saying my were just as good...slow deliberate, time under tension...but seriously, to be able to do both would be nice.

Shannon: There is a really great yoga podcast called Move and Sweat. I'm not into labels with yoga and nope I certainly would not replace it with my HIIT for the week but...nice warm up to a workout.

http://www.yogajournal.com/video/123

I'm going to give it a try to see how it transfers onto the mat for "me". Sometimes its hard to do a podcast with just audio unless it's been practiced a few times.

Enjoy the evening everyone. :
