Today I could not seem to get my heart rate up enough for a decent calorie burn. My calories were all around lower on all of the workouts that I did. Maybe my heart rate monitor needs a new battery. I am getting the feeling that those batteries start failing much faster than they should. I started with Ripped with Hiit Low Impact #2, 30 minutes, 168 calories. Heart rate avg. 111/max 136. I then did Ice Chiseled upper body going heavier on the weights (up to 15# on some moves) 42 minutes, 158 calories. I wanted to do arms so I did Ice Muscle Meltdown biceps, 15 minutes, 80 calories and Pyramid Upper Body Triceps only with the stretch, 13 minutes 47 calories. Total time was 1 hour 40 minutes and calories burned 453.

I am house cleaning today and just took a break and ran to the grocery store before all of the weekend shoppers were out. Poor Gertie, I called her this morning wondering why she wasn't doing her usual greeting. My husband let her out after I went to bed and forgot to let her back in. Not that is was bad for her, the evenings are comfortable and our porch is closed in on 3 sides. She was lying on the mat by the door when I opened it. I told my husband her tail was not wagging when she came in. I gave her some treats and fed her and she perked back up. She didn't want to go back out without me this morning. I guess she was afraid it would be another long wait to come back in
I got my new Kelly Coffey Live Cardio workouts in the mail today. I will be doing those tomorrow and maybe the Muscle Melt Down back since I have not hit the back alone yet this week.
Judy, our HOA has so many rules. They just set up new guidelines that were to be more definitive, but when I read them over it left them with the power over whatever they thought was aesthetic enough to approve. They have to be contacted for a new air unit which is ridiculous to me. They gave neighbors a hard to who replaced the shake wood on the outside of their house with the exact same thing because they did not get approval. I wanted to hang some lanterns along the back eave of the house so I had light in the back and where the alcove is with the trash so I am not wandering around in the dark, but they say nothing hanging where it can be seen over the fence line. You have to get approval for landscaping and taking plants out. So far the butterbur has helped some with the coughing and I am not sneezing like I was. I think it takes a few days. I just took the two tablet dose they give on the bottle. Dr Axe recommended higher doses. I think it might make me feel a bit drowsy which is okay at night. No racing heart and uncomfortable feeling that I get from antihistamine and no dry mouth. I tend to get sleepy in the afternoons but I think a lot is due to lack of sleep at night so it is really pretty normal for me to get drowsy anyway. I have used them 3 days.
Lori, I have gone back to working out on carpet because I cannot get my puzzle mats to stay in one place. I have tried jamming them in, putting weights on them etc.. They move or bunch up. I hate that because they worked perfectly at my last two houses and I can pretty much cover the entire room with them and they are 7/8 inch thick. I have to be very careful with twisting moves on the carpet. I usually lift the foot a bit and set it back down. It is a bit uncomfortable but I don't know what else to do. I have tried to search for a solution. It sounds like you got a great deal with a get away place to stay.
Deb, it could be that Gertie got some bug, but I am not wanting it back . I got some more chicken to cook up and make treats. I did find some decent jerky type treats at Sprouts from Castor and Pollux today but did not purchase them yet. Have you heard of " I and love and you " pet food? I was looking at it in Sprouts and bought a can of the wet dog food to try. They have healthier sounding dog treats and they do sell raw dog foods as well. There are different dry formulas. All are grain free and gluten free no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. Sprouts carries a variety of healthier dog foods. The dry foods look like they have chickpeas and lentils in them. I wonder how they are as far as digestion. Also there is a selection of treats.
Valerie, the blackberries sound rather dangerous if you run into them hanging down like that when riding. I tried planting some once but they never did anything for me. The next owners probably got the blackberries. They grew along the sides of the road in England. We would ride bikes out and pick them.
Lynda, the naked ladies will come back next year. I have never had a problem with bulbs returning each year here in Oklahoma. I enjoy the gymnastics the most. That is what my husband and I watch when we turn it on. Sometimes swimming can be interesting, but I am like you if you are not seeing something besides just someone swimming to the end first it is not. I like something like the synchronized swimming and stuff like that though.
