Tips...

Okay... I will start with Deanne's tip challenge. Here are a few tips that I will share with you...
1. BTPB (better than peanut butter) is cheaper at Trader Joes than Henry's
2. Greens and Whey protein cheaper at Henry's than Jimbo's
Also, MRM brand is the same as the brand Deanne recommends but cheaper. (yeah...trying to budget--for the first time in like 20 years...wish me luck:)
3. Greens give me gas.
4. The best tasting (and using best is quite a stretch here) out of the four greens that I tried was
"Amazing Grass"
5. When trying to stay with the food plan...having a buddy to text at critical moments in the day
will SAVE you!...give me your cell # and I can be your food buddy.

That's it for now...you can add your tips by clicking comments...go ahead....

"Look at that butt!"

But...would you look at that tight little hiney?!! (both of 'em)

Nice work Friday group!!

Recap of Week 5 for the Women and Week 6 for the Men

Well another beautiful week in San Diego and some great heart pounding, calorie burning workouts together. We kicked off the week Monday at 6am with a guest from the Men's Boot Camp. Eliot Ward joined us. I didn't want to scare Eliot off so I decided not to partner him with Keely. Andrea showed him how the ladies like to workout. We did our band runs and our relay races through the ladders. There was some good grunting going on by the end of the workout.

I noticed with the 9:15 group that everyone is looking much stronger than they were 5 weeks ago, despite many people getting over colds and bronchitis.

We had a tough circuit on Wednesday at Torrey Del Mar and tried out the ropes with the women for the first time. Wow! A minute on those ropes feels like an eternity. I heard from everyone that they were pretty sore after that workout. Hopefully you got a good day or two of yoga in also this week.

The men did their timed obstacle course since it was their last official session and across the board everyone improved their times. We added some fancy ropes, heavier kettlebells and even some BOSU's for the circuit on Thursday. Men and BOSU's is often very entertaining but I have to say, this group is especially coordinated.

We ended our week at Torrey Hills and spent the first 30 minutes on the stairs. Then the women did a fast paced circuit using ropes, kettle bells, jump ropes, bands and some of Emma's killer lunges. I figure if we all keep doing Emma's lunges, we'll soon have Emma's butt.

Good luck to fellow campers Trish Wood and Keely Barrera. They will be heading up to Long Beach. Keely will finally get the opportunity to cross off marathon from her To-Do List. That's one monkey she's got to get off her back. Make us proud Keely and at least show up Monday morning to fill us in. Trish will be doing another 1/2 marathon. This has to be at least 5 for you since I've known you.

Have a great weekend and I'll see everyone next week for some great workouts!

More Mondays@ 6

*Occasionally we have been known to allow one of "the guys" to join us on Mondays...we don't cut them any slack...right, Eliot?

*In the middle picture as Deanne is explaining our morning drill...different levels of enthusiasm...or NOT...good morning, Cori! Keely looks downright angry and some of us...just not payin' attention folks.

*I know some of these are blurry...Deanne had my camera..but ya gotta' love Anni's smile...perhaps the honeymoon is not over ;)

*Andrea was Eliot's partner for the workout...is she smirking?!
