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.

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.

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.
