Hey Ginger! Looks like you are doing great. Are you getting any warmer weather! We are finally getting rid of the piles of snow that have been here for months.
I hate Canada sometimes, but now I can crawl out of hibernation.
I am looking forward to running outside, and getting to work in my yard.
Cheers, have a great night.

Ahhh, thanks for checking on me, Jane! Last week was just insanely crazy at work and then we went out of town Saturday to meet up with Lori and her Hubby for the night.
I have workouts to get logged, but they are going well and I officially have my book back in my hot little hands, so bring on Stage 3!!!
Thanks so much for checking up on me, Girlfriend.

Warmer weather is trying to make it's way here. I have broken out the spring wardrobe and vow to stick with it, in hopes of bringing spring here, quicker. We shall see if it works. Right now, we have rain and apparently, 3 days of it in the forecast but, I'll take it.

Hey Girlie!
Ok, tonight I will sit down and get my workouts logged. I did do my 1st Stage 3 workout last night and WHOA.  Tough stuff, but I am intrigued.
Got my eating in check, got in a great workout last night and feeling good. I had teeted with the idea of busting out some cardio this morning, but I was feeling a tad more sore than I thought I would, so I am resting up and will go do some intervals tonight.
I definitely got some curious looks with these moves from Stage 3 and now that I am more comfortable hanging out in the free weight area, it was kinda funny.

Loved reading about you and Lori's (mis)adventures. Thanks for the encouragement. Your workouts definitely inspire me. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Stage 3.

Wednesday, March 12th
Legs
*Hack Squats, Lunges, Front Squats and I know the monster had me do more, but I can’t remember what else it was.
I didn’t write this workout down. It was a tough, tough workout and I was fighting the puke monster during it. With the starting Hacks, he had me do 50-flipping reps, 25 reps, then 20 reps and the weight was heavy, heavy, heavy. I blacked out after that. LOL

Superset (to superset these, I did planks instead of the PCs)
Plank 60s, 60s, 45s
Reverse Wood Chop (6X25, 6X25, 6X30)
BW Matrix
I only did 1 set of these. The cardio room was filling up with “steppers” and I was pretty spent, anyways.
Oh, and I didn’t do any timing, that was too much to ask.
24 squats
12 lunges on each leg
6 lunge jumps on each leg
10 squat jumps
I may do this one over again. I was really trying to get the form down on these, while making the weight manageable. So, we'll see. I felt a weird tweak in my right knee at one point, which is another reason I didn't finish the BW matrix. It seems to be alright, now.
Sorry for the funky fonts. I copied this from my Word document and it is now all screwed up. I give up.
