I had a very nice weekend and an ready to go today, even if it is Monday. Friday was my rest day, so I made a decision that I was going to steal the PS2 from the kids and play video games. HAHA. And I did! I stuck in my favorite Final Fantasy game and played for hours. It was great.
Saturday was supposed to be Body Sculpt (if you are a non-Firmie, that's a sculpting video, little aerobic movement, heavier weights). BUT, apparently I started a trend, because my children were on the Playstation all day and were cooperating so well together (taking turns by the hour) that I decided to leave them alone and not take the TV away. SO, I hit the hubby's weight bench for a 45 minute intense free-weight session. I mainly worked upper body but did a few squats and lunges too. I am STILL feeling THAT workout.
Yesterday was supposed to be Fat Blaster and my long run day.... It ended up being JUST my long run day. My arms said "If you pick up a weight, you'll be sorryyyyyy....." So I listened. But I ran my personal best..... I did 4 miles. I was happy all day after that. OH, and I swam for a little while and I worked my thumbs by playing more Final Fantasy. ;O)
Well, got to work now. Have a great day.

PS2...not just for kids anymore
I love PS2 and got my share of it Friday night too. My curret favorite game right now is Tiger Woods 2006. I even created my own person and am trying to build her up. I think it's a wonderful way to relieve stress or simply take a load off.
I've never played Final Fantasy, but I think I own the movies that were made based on that game. Resident Evil...I think it is. Love the movies.
You go gurl, working it out on the bench like that. You're a better woman than me because I constantly tell the kids they have to take a break bc mommy has to exercise. We have 2 TVs in the basement where I work out, but if I'm doing any video except Firm Abs or Upper Body Sculpt, they have to go upstairs. Too much movement. Great job on your run. I'm getting into jogging a little now, it's kinda fun, but I need to lose more weight, it's still kinda hard on my knees.
You sound psyched about the new week beginning, send me some enthusiasm will ya? ;-)
SURE you didn't want to disturb your kids! Anything's better than an hour with the evil superset queen herself, huh! LOL
I am sitting here right now trying to decide what I want to do this afternoon. The thought of JF Buns and Arms back to back makes me feel downright puny. I'm thinking maybe I'll do Super Body Sculpt, and if I still feel like working out, do Lisa's sweet little Cardio Sculpt Blaster. If not, I can always do it tomorrow instead of having a rest day. :)
hey pretty lady, where are you? You posted on Monday and it's almost Friday again. I hope your coworker from he!! is not driving you crazy. I hope everything is okay with you.
