Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Kassia, That is awful about the scouts parade and the cold! Last night was freezing here and we had snow/ice. DD had a birthday party to attend about 5 miles or so from here, and it tooks us FOREVER to get home b/c there was a huge accident (car on its roof - why can't people slow down when it is slippery???) Take care, and hope everyone is warm now.Donna Subject: short workout todayTo: exercisevideos Date: Saturday, December 6, 2008, 8:45 PM from my blog:yesterday nothing at all. i was so stressed between a personal issue with a friend, my heat pump was acting up, and dh had to be at work very early. the stress just took its toll on my motivation and energy. this morning i didn't have much time b/c i had to be at a parade early to help decorate. so i did tamilee webb's tight on time hot spots, only the two total body segments with the warm up and stretch. the first total body was with weights while second used tubing. baciscally combination lifts of upper/lower body exercises at fast pace for cardio effect but also tone. i used lighter 5lb weights for the first segment. i did start with 8s but its a shoulder heavy workout and the 8s just were to much for me to keep form. with the tubing i stuck with my 10lb go fit band. made it harder especially the glutes but also kept my heart a pounding. i did the parade but the stupid parade cordinators made a mistake in roads blocked off and the police would not let us go back to our road where all our cars were. kids were frozen as we begged. they made us move but kids were passing out from the cold. after an hour of calling for help an ambulance finally got all the kids left and two adults and got us back where we needed to be. while the kids warmed up the medics helped us take down our float b/c many of us were frozen. some parked in different spots so they took as many of the other kids to where they needed to be while i stay with the others and the scout leader.SHAME on the city's planning but a BIG BIG thank you to medic 4 tonight! went well beyond duty. MAYBE the next time city will have the parade earlier in the day. this 5-7pm stuff was for the birds and it started to snow. OMG talk about cold. hopefully i will feel okay for cardio in the morning. i am about thawed out now. we had blankets but some kids just couldn't handle the cold. well thankful that even though my heat pump is acting up,its still giving heat and i am sure that the problem is fixable.probably a small freon leak that needs a patching.thank god for heat though! ldy_solana's fitness blogldy_solana's domainScouting for All Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don¢t want to impress people they don¢t like. -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
