  3. Catching up; Thurs: day off Fri: started Level 3 of Girls Gone Strong with my fav exercise, single-leg RDL (Romanian deadlift). 30lb is now too easy :D Sat: 3.5 mile walk while catching up on podcasts
  4. I love the program. I do have access to a gym with free weights, cable machines, and (some, to be more) kettle bells. There are substitutions suggested if you don't have some equipment or can't do certain exercises because of physical limitations. During this past week I have used; Bands Cable machines 15, 30, and 40lb dumbbells A bench 45lb bar w plates (deadlift, hip thrust) 30lb kettle bell I also did numerous body weight exercises: planks, side planks, push ups, single leg squats-to-bench.

  7. I am so happy for your ds :party: Must admit, I shed a few tears for him, too. Been thinking of you :grouphug:
  8. The RWA is a huge deal----I'm so happy you can go! All the sessions and the networking and the sponsored parties in the evenings, ahhhhh :)
  9. I love the Pyrex w snap-locking lids. We bought 2 sets at Costco a couple years ago and gave our plastics to our older kids.
  10. Today I finished Level 2 of the Modern Wonen's Guide to Strength Training by Girls Gone Strong, a 16 week program, with a lower body day. I did squats w an offset kettlebell, one-leg squats to bench, and weighted hip thrusts (4 sets of 15, 65lb---I didn't think I'd be able to finish that last set!) plus a bunch of other things. Level 3 begins on Friday :D
  11. D wrote some papers. I quizzed her orally. Since I also did all the readings and we watched documentaries together, it was pretty simple. I shared my plan a few years back on the middle school board.
  12. Cardio this am (raining)---gym bike w sprinting up the hills, 45 min
  13. Our kids never saw a pediatrician, just a family practice doctor.
  14. D's fifth and final acceptance---University of Delaware, Honors College :) Now we wait for the rest of the scholarships :eek:
  15. Has everyone nailed down testing sites fir this year's exams? I decided to not even try to find a school near us. D will be taking her exams at the same school as last year about an hour away. They use Total Registration---so easy to register and pay online! D is just taking 3 this year--US Gov and both econs.
  16. Yesterday was a scheduled day off. It was also older dd's 22nd bday, so she and The Boyfriend came home :) This morning at the gym was a "pull" day, focusing on deadlifts (4x5 at 130; grip started to suffer so I switched to mixed grip), dumbbell rows (4x6 at 40lb!), and lat pulldowns among others. Tonight is a Pop Pilates class :D Monday is the only day I workout twice lol
  17. That is very interesting--thank you from the dairy- and soy-free family!
  18. That sounds really good--thanks for sharing! We love a quinoa salad w black beans and mango and a lime dressing from Anerica's Test Kitchen veggie cookbook.
  19. This morning was a "push" day at the gym followed by 20 min of hill sprints on the bike. I was able to overhead press 20lb dumbbells for reps for the first time ever :D I had been stuck at 15s (and 30lb barbell) for months.
  20. D applied with 3 different transcripts, one from me and 2 from different universities.
  21. I am so very sorry :grouphug:
  22. D watched her brother's friends go through the arduous security clearance process their senior year of college. That made an absolute impression on her. "Mom, see what people find about these nominees? That cannot happen to me if I reach the appointment level." :eek: :lol:
