I'm home from work today, having pretty much spent the night last night. Barely 15 minutes before I was ready to leave for the day, a server crashed with a very persistent, strange, and utterly catastrophic hardware problem. The server's been up and down for weeks now, and it's having problems nearly identical to another server we had of the same model. After weeks of replacing parts over and over and essentially gutting the machine, we just gave up and redeployed the server on different hardware. The dead husk of that machine has been littering my office for a year.
Now we're seeing the same problem on another server of the same model, and I'm not at all confident the vendor's going to fix it. We've already had them out twice on this one, replacing the same parts both times. In all fairness, though, the parts they're replacing are the only ones that logically could be bad. But whatever. Blah, blah, blah, work crap. Point is, I'm home on comp time today. I tried to sleep after I took Noah to school, but it just wasn't happening. So here I am!
It works out really well for me, actually, since Noah's been wanting me to come eat lunch with him at school and there are only 2 days left in which to do that. I can also run some errands, get a workout in (which I did NOT do yesterday), buy stuff to send to the stepmom's baby shower, and pick up some groceries. Yay, errands!
So anyway, workout stats from Friday, Saturday, and Monday, before I completely lose my train of thought:
Friday
Workout: stationary bike
Workout time: 36:55
Average HR: 143 bpm
Calories burned: 322(129)
Saturday
Workout: spinning class
Workout time: 1:05:22
Average HR: 149 bpm
Calories burned: 614(215)
Monday
Workout: Precor elliptical, interval course
Workout time: 35:08
Average HR: 147 bpm
Calories burned: 319(128)
And today is going to be an hour-long walk. Starting....now!

*nod* I *heart* Kathy.
I tried the lower body last Thursday. It worked really well for me, because all the supported exercises let me take it easy on my injured heel/tendon/whatever. I planned to do the upper body yesterday, but then was waylaid by the server crisis.

YaY! I'm glad you are liking it and it's working out for ya.
She's growing on me too. Now it seems like time flies since I alternate body groups. You haven't mentioned so I'm guessing you are now immune to her catterwauling here and there ;)
Did you see the sweaty dude that lunges @ here somewhere around the plie/inner thigh move. I always forget which point b/c I'm panting and drenched, but she warbles "Pick up those weights" and lets out a high pitched giggle b/c he grabs her by the arm...I always chuckle when I see that.

yeah, I think I saw him. I was watching, because you had mentioned him before...but then I went to get water from the kitchen, and I saw some kind of exchange out of the corner of my eye, and then it was over. I'll have to watch more closely next time. :)
