> This is spring break week and I'm off from work and just decided to treat

myself to some R & R.  DD is home, too, so we're going to do some low key

activities - and some day trips - but for the most part taking it easy and

enjoying a slower pace.

> We were away this weekend in PA visiting relatives, now we're back - the car

wrecked my upper back - so I have the chiro this morning to adjust it.  But,

workout-wise, I'm taking it a bit easier and just going to pick stuff that I

really enjoy and that gives me a boost.  So, of course, today I went with Ellen

Barrett.  Who, I think, is pretty sneaky.  Her workouts have zero dread for me,

and they dont' seem difficult when doing them, but I always " feel " them later. 

Not screaming DOMS, but a worked out fatigue.  This morning I did her Fat

Burning Fusion workout.  It is also a nice little leg workout as well as

stretching and light cardio.  I wish she would produce mroe workouts - she did

just complete three new ones, (Barefoot Cardio, Skinny Sculpt and Fusion Flow)

so I don't know how long I will ahve to wait for new ones - but hopefully not

too long.  Her workouts are about perfect for me -

TM, maybe some Classical Stretch.  I'll play it by ear - this is not going to be

a week to stress out about anything if I can help it!

> Sat - 10 Min Solution w/ Amy Bento using the resistance band (I really liked

this one - never tried it in its entirety before and it was a pretty good

workout!)

>  

> Sun  - Total rest - my first total rest day of the year - lately I have been

stretching on my " rest " day.  But, we were traveling so I didn't get anything

in.

> Anyway, I'm hopefully looking at a relaxing week - both exercise-wise and

life-wise!

> I will probalby do more Ellen workouts this week, may also open up my Ruah

workouts - they look Ellen-ish in that they are fusions of yoga/Pilates, etc.
