Big Shocker--Changed my Fitness Plan This Week

Yeah, here I go again. I changed my mind on what to do this week, mainly do to some online Cathe friends who advised me to go ahead with the Slow & Heavy strength training. So here's what I'm doing this week:

MONDAY..............Slow & Heavy Chest & Back (Cathe Friedrich)
TUESDAY.............Step Jump & Pump cardio premix (Cathe)
WEDNESDAY.......Slow & Heavy Legs & Shoulders (Cathe)
THURSDAY..........Kick Max (Cathe)
FRIDAY.................Slow & Heavy Triceps & Biceps (Cathe)
SATURDAY...........Walk or 4DS Lower Intensity Step cardio (Cathe)
SUNDAY................Rest

I just finished today's workout (S&H Chest & Back) and I am shaking like crazy. I am even having trouble typing this because my muscles are so wobbly. Whew. Feels good to do a killer workout, though. I can't wait to boost my strength back up as I've gotten a bit weaker lately.

I've added the new rotation plan (alternating S&H with Amy Bento's Slo-Mo Strength Challenge) to my "Current Rotations" document and my "Workout Rotations" list on the Tools page.

If you've never done a Cathe workout, you've got to give her a try--she's incredible!

New Blog Updates

OK, so I'm supposed to be cleaning today...and I have been--honestly--just not as much as I planned. I've been procrastinating a lot by fiddling with my blogs again. The changes are small and not immediately noticeable, though, so I thought I'd quickly mention them. First, I now have a favicon--a little icon up there^^^by the URL. In my case it's a tiny fig picture (of course). I put it on all my blogs so they match that way. Also, I changed the comments so that you can now see the comments inline with the posts when you go to comment. We'll see how that does. I love fiddling with stuff!

Preparing for July 4th and August Road Trip

Today I finally sent in my "Who's Who Form" for the August Cathe Road Trip. I also sent in this picture. That might mean I should straighten my hair for the road trip. Lately I've been letting my hair air-dry in that crazy Robert Plant frizzy waves look. Hmm, I also look very pale in that pic. Of course, I am very pale, so I might as well look like myself.

Anyway, I did at least work out today. I did Sarah Lurie's Kettlebells the Iron Core Way Volume 1. I love using kettlebells. I want more kettlebell workouts but I'm going to wait until after the Cathe Road Trip, since I want to do more Cathe stuff for now.

Tomorrow I'm going to continue the flurry of cleaning. The house is pretty good already, but I'm going ahead and doing a big extra clean while I'm in the mood. I also hope to fit in some fun cardio (not just cleaning cardio).
