Good Morning
I survived Vertical Plyo!! Not saying it was easy, far from it but not as bad as I expected..The warmup itself was a workout and as Shaun yells "This is not Insanity, you are a graduate, if you are beat from the warmup, you might as well turn this off and do a relief class" I'm thinking OKAY focus and GO..I had to rewind on a few moves since there was not much demo for the moves, it was more like a do as I do.. The Agility ladder was utilized in this workout alot as well as upper and lower resistance bands..I didn't use the lower one but I broke the upper one during the workout...LOL I just kept going and still got a decent pump from the broken band.. I was super careful not to step on the rungs so I wouldn't have to drop and give him 20 pushups.. I surprisingly did pretty good with the "Pogo Vert Leap/knee tap" and there are other moves that I need to improve on coordinating gracefully.. All in all a killer non stop 40 minute workout..
Well I think the sweating has finally ceased so I am going to get prepped for work, chat with ya later, have a good one all
Hey back from yet another hot day.. I stopped off for a pre Bday drink with one of my patrons and added a Relief class to work out the kinks... I am super hungry so I am going to catch up with you girls and get some octane..Hope you all had a wonderful evening!!

Good Morning Ladies This morning's class was "Back To Core" Other than the jumping jack variations in the warmup, there were no other high impact moves but man it is a good class for strenghtening the muscles in the lats..My back feels really good, I got a nice crack from the side twist arm pulse move..There were a few moves that def need improvement on, like the Reverse plank alternating knee move(my triceps are on fire) as well as the one leg tricep dip to plank rotation,back to dip..
Well I better keep it moving so I can get prepped for work, chat with ya later..Have a good day all
Hey all! Another hot day on the beach, a little busier(if you would call it that) so thankful for that..Wanting to put in extra work on my abs, I decided to check out a preview of what to expect in my "Vertical Plyo" class tomorrow so I wouldn't over do it.. I went for the 16 minute Cardio Abs class..The word that came up alot in the preview was MONSTER and FRIED..LOL This should be good so stay tuned in the morning..Checking in with you lovelies, get some fuel and hit the hay early to face "The MONSTER"

Good Morning Ladies Completed my first Agility and Speed class and WOW.. Shaun is strictly business in this class, no breaks after the stretch...I knew this one would be the toughest one since the "Agility Ladder" is used in almost every exercise.. He also makes you drop down and do push ups if you hit the rungs, which was cool with me so I could actually watch everyone's form.. Shaun T. encourages staying within your personal fitness level, instead of overdoing it.. This class is scheduled alot in the program and I am cool with that since I need to improve on my footwork and eye coodination.. This is def going to get me ready for my next round of "Insanity"
Well I better get ready for work.. BOOOO! LOL Have a great day all, chat with ya later
Back from an extremely hot first day back at work..Super slow and pretty boring..We did have a nice "Pushup Clinic" and man was it a sick one..LOL It all started as I was telling my barback/ fellow Shaun T fanantic(who is really fit) about the plank shoulder taps.. So my fellow coworker T walks pass and says something to the effect of me not knowing about PUSHUPS???
He said "I am sure it is easy when you are doing girly ones" Oh Helz to the NO...LOL I love my boy T and I know he was just kidding but I had to school him.. So my barback says lets have a showdown and winks at me(cause he KNOWS) We go inside to the hallway and I showed my barback the shoulder taps and he does them along with me...THEN I told T "ladies first for the pushup challenge(to him)
He does 6 pushups, chest not even close to the ground and was pretty pleased about it and says "your turn"
I did 15 standard, 5 pushup jacks and and just to show him how a "girl" gets down, I did 5 pushup, one arm side balance ones..LOL I stood up and told him " Did ya take notes?" ( i think his jaw is still sitting in the hallway) The hallway is a clear view to the manager's office and the "M O D" starts yelling up to us "What the hell are you guys doing?".. Uh OH.. I said "I am schooling this Biatch on pushups" I thought we were in trouble as Anthony(manager) comes up the stairs and does a few pushups too...Hahahahaha Whewwww!
Needless to say that was our highlight of the day and I added a Relief class..Out of all the recovery/stretch/yogaish classes of Shaun's this one by far is the BEST..He really slows it down so you can get the most out if the stretches which make me happy! Well I am off to catch up with you all and get some fuel

Have a good day!
Speaking of men, thank you so much for your advice yesterday. I need to redirect my focus and energy, and it's so not worth it on a friend who is draining the life out of me. Your words were spot on, and I truly appreciate it!
Good Morning Ladies Day 1 of Asylum started out a bit rocky..My uber sensitive laptop decided it didn't like my Speed and Agility class and refused to play it..Unfortunately the slightest scratch/ dirt, it will not cooperate..After numerous times of polishing the DVD, it just wouldn't play..It works on my DVD player that is connected to my TV in the living room, but alas there is no room to move freely about there..I swapped it out for tomorrow's Strength class so all is well..
Thoughts on this class other than Shaun T is indeed a mad man, it totally rocks..You can use weights or bands( I used weights) he does progressive sets of workouts and of course it has lots of pushups..LOL There is one move that starts out with bicep curl/squat to standing, back to squat/plank/ pushups/spider/plank run all while griping the weights..By the end of it my hands were so wet and slippery.. Time to get some gloves..But first I have to find a cheapie DVD player TODAY..The cheaper solution would be to attach my DVD player to the tv in my gym but there are so many wires attached (cable box, ect) and I am technically challenged...Hahahaha
Well I better get going so I can get all my needful things along with the laundry.. Have a happy Healthy Monday all
Hey girls!! Back from my day.. I bought a portable DVD player..Unexpected expense but I would rather think of it as an investment/plan B.. Can't wait to do the class I was supposed to do today using the "Agility Ladder" it' on like Donkey Kong tomorrow morning..LOL!!
Got all my meals made/prepped for the week..I made Umpqua's famous " Mayoless Potato Salad" and it looks really yummo!! It was supposed to accompany my lunches for the week but I have to try a little with dinner tonight..
Well I am off to read some diaries, get some fuel and check out "Stars Earns Stripes" (on NBC) Go Team Dolvett!!

Good Evening ladies I had a well needed day of R n R after being jolted out of a really decent slumber with some serious cramping due to TOM around 3 am this morning
Not one to take meds, I had no other choice and I really didn't care if i slept the entire day away(which is what usually happens when I take meds) as long as the pain went away.. I finally drifted back to sleep close to 5 and woke up feeling a heck of alot better.. I completed an Athletic Performance Assessment, did my usual trip to the store and tried to shake off the ickiness that only TOM can bring..I watched movies and napped.. Well I am off to get some fuel, I am finally getting my appetite back, hope you all had a wonderful weekend

Good Morning Ladies Well the Olympics got me again, this time it was the Women's Relay..So as I jumped up and down cheering as USA not only took the gold, but set a record with the fastest finish, far too fired up, I had to shut the TV off. I got in a good night's sleep, so i could crush my final "Fit Test" for Insanity. I am pleased with the results and when I start up round 2 in a month or so. hopefully Asylum will help me beat my personal best!
I am super stoked that this is my last shift for the week, not that I have big plans, I just look forward to a little down time since the past 2 weekends I really didn't have much. Have a great weekend lovelies

RYC don't know about the ratio of single guys! I'm afraid you'd have to be an illegal immigrant though as visas are extremely difficult to get! LOL. But pubs are a great place to work under the table.
Good Morning Ladies Just finished my Core Cardio and Balance class and feeling pretty pumped.Hoping to have another good day at work..The temps are slightly lower than yesterday at this time(a cool 80, LOL) and expected to be in the 90's..

Hey Ladies..Hot as the seventh circle today and we still had brave souls that dared to hang out with us.. We still did decent since my partner in crime today has the gift of gab just like V..
I took a quick power down before completing the last 38 minutes of YogaX Class ending just in time to see GB's Nicole Adams take the gold medal in Boxing..Keeping it short so I can catch up with you all, get some fuel and take in a little of the games this evening..Hoping you all had a stellar day!

Good Morning Ladies Although I still stayed up far too late last night tuning in to gymnastics and track, I still had a decent night's sleep and hit the snooze button far too many times..LOL Good thing that Core Cardio and Balance is only 38 minutes. I have 4 days to break this habitual offense since most of the Asylum classes are at least 45 minutes and have to include the sweat factor/cooling off time as well..
It is already 82 degrees here and I am hoping for a nice sea breeze(not the drink, LOL) otherwise it will be a miserable repeat of yesterday's weather and it's my turn to stay later..Well I better get going so I can prep for my day, chat with ya later, have a good one
Got that sea breeze that I was hoping for(not the drink, LOL) Thankful because it was alot busier than it has been in weeks as far as during the week goes..I decided to add a Cardio Abs class in the mix tonight for extra credit for "Project Ab Mayhem" Well i am off to see how you all are , get some fuel and HOPE to be in bed at a decent hour, lots of events I want to check out.. What is up with Randy Travis' Crash/ Naked DWI/ threatning police arrest? WT?? He is sporting a really nice shiner in his mug shot... On that note, I bid ya a good evening!

All this "breeze" talk--gotta catch it when you can I guess.
Hope you've gotten a few more customers today!
Good Morning Ladies I had to force myself to shut off the TV so I wouldn't be up late watching the Olympics, Besides it alot more exciting to hear Biscotti's daily recaps..LOL I did a Core Cardio and balance class this morning, perfect start to the day.. As usual Tuesday rolled around too soon and I am hoping that the day is quick, painless and fruitful.. Better keep it moving, chat with you all later, have a stellar day all
Brutally hot, brutally slow day.. It is just that time of the year where no one wants to sit outside, even most tourists.. It was my turn to leave early and I was more than happy to do so..I was so wiped, I got in a little nap before a little stretching..There are alot of events that I would really love to check out on the Olympics tonight so I am hoping that the events come on early this evening..Probably Not..LOL Off to see how your day went and get some fuel!

RYC: I do remember that skit:-) Thinking about this reminds me of the all male ballet company--Trockadero Ballet. They dance en point like women and in full makeup and tutus in case you're not familiar with them. There is a big element of comedy as well. I think that Nightline group was trying to be as legit as possible so when the time comes they could actually compete. I'd watch it at any rate:-)

Wow, Shaun tells it like it is. Nice job on the killer workout. Have a great day.

Morning!! wow vertical plyo sounds like a great workout!!
thenewMLE on 08/16/2012:
You are amazing! I didn't know those band would break, but leave it to V's brute strength and watch out!!! I would love to watch one of your workouts - bear in mind, I have never done a DVD workout AND I have NO rhythm - I mean ZERO!! Glad you got a good one in this morning. Have a great weekend as I am checking out for a few days to hit the coast. I'll be thinking of you as a have my splurge meal for the first time since January!!!
thinkpositive on 08/16/2012:
I was trying to visualize those moves! Crazy stuff, glad you enjoyed it.
grannyannie on 08/16/2012:
Wow. Killer workout!! Have a great day, V!
biscottibody59 on 08/16/2012:
Haha--sounds like you're more than tearing up those workouts--good going!
sweetpea1977 on 08/16/2012:
Congrats on surviving! That class sounds hard as heck! I laughed about the Insanity comment. It sounds like he is saying that Insanity is for weaklings, lol.
grannyannie on 08/17/2012:
You're totally a machine, V!
RYC I've done a lot of cheating, eating out lately so I think that's to blame. I'll adjust my calories upward if I feel I've not got enough energy and am just 'really hungry'. I'm already thinking about maintenance calories and will up them 100 a day a time until I get it right.
