Today was another resistance band move for the 44.  The move is a twist and designed to work your core but because you have to hold the band up in front of you it also is a great shoulder burner!!!

Oh – I counted a full rotation (right-left-right) as 1 rep.

Because I’m trying to work through some of my workout DVDs that I don’t do very often – I pulled out one today that I haven’t done in years.
     Shelly McDonald – Caribbean Workout – Abs, Buns & Thighs

This one is funny because it’s made up of 3 segments (I did all 3 for just over an hour long workout) but you can tell that each segment was a 30 minute TV workout at one point (obvious when they had a cut to commercial!).  It is more old school aerobics (lots of grapevine, step touch, the pony….) but it is all worth it because of the views!!

It is filmed on location so I could sort-of pretend that I was on the beach enjoying views like this – 

But now it’s back to reality and 19 degree temps outside!!!  Oh, well it was nice for an hour!!!

First – thank you for so many kind words and shared experiences/situations to yesterday’s post about friendships!!!  

Chris’ response yesterday was that I can’t let those failed friendships control me because it is a 2-way street and when the other party doesn’t make any effort to maintain or reconcile a friendship then there is nothing I can do. 

The overwhelming response yesterday was the fact that effort should be made on both parts and I agree 100%!!

It is never fun to be the one making all of the effort in a relationship!!!  I know that sometimes things just have to be let go – doesn’t ever make it easy though!!!

Anyway……

Even without knowing the entire back story I felt like many of you understood the situation perfectly – a lot of you because you have had a similar experience for which I’m very sorry because I know it is hard!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!
