56min, Cathe - Step N Motion 1 Day 1 of restart chrono mission
44min, Cathe - LITE - PHA 2, with buddy Kathryn

Did the second only half an hour after finishing the first, so where I'd normally halve Cathe's poundage for my kg, took a third. I'm not stupid.

Helen, why are you restarting your chrono mission??

I'm restarting the chrono mission because I realised that I was procrastinating about doing one of the Hardcore Extremes, for a week. Did just 30min of it and it was just too hard for me. Having a timeline of one roughly every two days gave me leeway to stall, and pack others together (abs + stretch) to make up the gap. Basically, my fitness level is NOT UP to doing them, so:

* going back will help build fitness more
* going back means I've already done the first 50+ recently, so no dread
* going back means I'm locked into doing one every day - no stalling possible

Gotcha. You are much more disciplined than I am!

((hugs)) Cleda! You KNOW what I'm like during term-time AND with DH away.

Today: Finished work late as have the top senior class after school, played with Alice (no walk due to rain- again), did some marking of exams, wrote school reports (deadline), we had dinner, then a HOWLING torrent of rain came through so had to snuggle with Alice (shaking) on the couch. It's pushing 9:30pm, and the "feels like" has hit 3.7C (38.7F). I KNOW it'll make me happier if I get it done, which will give me momentum to do tomorrow's workout too.

So.....
Disc #0922 Mega Step Blast, 56min

ETA DONE! And I was right - REALLY glad I did!! Even though finished at 10:40pm.

Helen - I applaud you for starting over, but now it seems even more daunting to me. Of course, I am not know for finishing a rotation. I get tired of any instructor after a few weeks. As for the Jessica DVDs, I did order 3 of them. I kept going to order the whole set and they were unavailable, as you noted. Then I realized that I am not a big fan of Jessica's weight workouts and I am not a fan of anyone's fusion workouts, so why get the whole package? I did get her stretch one, the 5K and 1 weight workout.
Cleda - that is a lot of time in the saddle, but then that's your thing!

5/29 - dog walk and gardening.
Hubby power washed the deck and then I painted on the water sealer. Very labor intensive!
Peloton's 20 Min. Dance Music Barre w/ Hannah Corbin
Jessica's new Stretch, 19 Min. Relax (which felt good after so much bending and squatting.
5/30 - 3.1 mile run on the new trail I walked last week. It really was lovely, but I should have gone out 2 hours earlier. The trail was almost completely shady, but the temps and humidity were high.
Worked on the second half of the deck, 3 sessions of painting.

You need to get your tag.

It's not even more daunting - it's the hefty shove I needed.
Went back up last night & got Step Heat done - just didn't post it as finished so late.
