Strength in Numbers

Julie Good job on Lift Weights Faster and getting better with the overhead squats.

Pam Dragon boating is a lot of fun. I am so glad that I decided to try it out. Good work on TTM. Awww how cute to get kisses and rubs on your face.

Janie I am sorry that you have been so stressed. Is the seal pup OK? We see a lot of them when we go out dragon boating, they are so cute. Sorry about your crab pot being stolen, I just don't get why people need to steal things. I hope you get it back. Take a break and get back into it on Monday.

This morning I did ICE Metabolic Total Body and then got some housework done. So one year ago today was my last day of work before retirement :eek:. I can't believe how fast time has gone by.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Now that I have prepared nine loaves of sourdough bread. Will be baking all day tomorrow. That is, after I sing and play at the retirement center for an hour. The are such a hoot. Love it there!

Cheryl, I may never know anymore news about the pup. I am going down to crab on Sat. I'm hoping I don't see it. Ugh... If I don't, I'd like to think the mother came and got him. People are so kind. A friend of mine had an extra pot and gave it to me. So sweet. Great job on ICE Metabolic Total Body and housework. I bet in your retirement (as it has happened to many) that you are busier than you were when you worked. LOL!

Take care dear friend,

Janie
 
Last night was Live Metabolic Conditioning. It was a good workout but I felt it had a little too many breaks in there to keep your heart rate up. I am so happy it is the weekend and a 3 day weekend at that. I will probably end up having to do some work from home but it shouldn’t be that much and at least I won’t have to come into the office.

Pam Great job on TTM! Nice substitute for ICE MTB. I actually think that one is the most intense of the ICE series but TTM would definitely blow it out of the water. Aw, how sweet to get kisses and rubs. He was telling you good job on that tough workout!

Janie Oh Janie, I’m sorry you had to deal with such things. You are a saint for caring about the seal pup enough to get it help. Enjoy the weekend and making your bread. Try to relax and leave the stress of the past week behind you.

Cheryl Great job on ICE MTB! And on your housework. Wow, it seems like it hasn’t been a year since you retired.

Have a great weekend!
 
Janie So sorry about your crab pot being stolen. I just don't understand people. Oh my, that must have been so stressful to see a distressed seal pup and not be able to do anything. So sweet of you to work so hard to make something happen. It sounds like baking will be a great stress relief for you {{{HUGS}}}.

Cheryl Great job on MTB and housework. Wow, a year already?! Time really does fly!

Janie You are a machine! 9 loaves of bread, wow! I hope you have a great time playing, singing, and baking. It sounds like a fabulous day!

Julie Great job on LMC. Hmm, isn't the idea with metabolic supposed to be to keep your heart rate up? I'm glad it was a good workout anyway. I'm happy for the three day weekend too!!

This morning was supposed to be RWH LI Hiit 2 and pilates abs, but instead I did the LI Hiit 1&2 and then did RWH bonus abs 2. I am ready for this long weekend! We are finally having some nice warm weather so hoping we get to ski a couple of times. We're supposed to have a tropical storm Sunday and Monday though....hopefully that won't be too bad. Have a great weekend!

Pam
 
Another gloomy day. When I got to the place where I play and sing (Dolphin Cove) a member (Deloris, 98 years old) was sleeping and no one could wake her up. I asked if I should leave, but they said to please play and help boost morale. So I did. In the middle of it, they decided to call paramedics. When they came there were several people and didn't dare interrupt by leaving. So I waited for them to take her to the hospital. But there was a dilemma, Her last wishes to do with her was unclear. So while they discussed the situation she was slipping deeper and deeper into sleep. I certainly didn't want to be there and do nothing. So I made my way out the door, and when I passed her, I told her to have a beautiful deep rest and will see her again. In just a short time, I grew to care about these people and looked forward to seeing them every Friday. It's a sad day. Please pray for Deloris.

A dear friend of mine had a crab pot and hasn't used it for 10 years. He gave it to me. So sweet.

Julie, Great job on Live Metabolic Conditioning. Dang, working at home. Nice that you don't have to go into the office.

Pam, Great job on LI Hiit 1&2 and then did RWH bonus abs 2. Enjoy skiing if you go. Hope the storm passes you by.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Janie So nice that you played at the retirement centre. I hope the pup is OK and that you don't see it when you go crabbing. Yep i have no idea how I fit in work LOL.

Julie Good job on Live Metabolic Conditioning. Enjoy your 3 day weekend, hopefully you won't need to work for too long this weekend.

Pam Way to go on RWH LI HiiT 1&2 and bonus abs 2. I am glad that you got go skiing this weekend.

Janie It is gloomy here too. I am so sorry to hear about Deloris. I hope she is doing better. I don't understand why they waited so long to call the paramedics. I am glad that your friend gave you his crab pot so you can keep on crabbing. Your sourdough bread looks really good.

So yesterday I did RWH LI 2 and Pilates abs then I finished up with the housework. Last night we went to a local casino with friends of ours. We didn't win anything but our friends did quite well. This morning I did Lean Legs and Abs. There was no dragon boating because it was raining really hard all day. It was a pretty lazy day so I caught up with some things that I had PVR'd.
 
Trying to finish up some art work before I start another rotation tomorrow. It (art work) will be done sometime next week.

I haven't seen the pup. I don't know what happen to it. Ugh... Deloris was sent to the hospital by the Retirement Center. The hospital sent her back to the Retirement Center, unresponsive and asleep. They called the paramedics to take her back to the hospital. They eventually sent her to a nursing home to live out her life. Ugh... She will die any day now. Hoping family is with her. That's how they do things according to the "Living Will" and what the person wants.

Cheryl, great job on RWH LI2 and Pilates abs and finishing housework. And for doing doing today's Lean Lega and Abs.

Take care,

Janie
 
Janie Hopefully that is a good sign that you haven't seen the pup. Sorry about your friend, I hope that her family is with her.

Yesterday I did Yoga Relax and today I started back up with my TRX and I added in the ICE Chest meltdown and the blizzard blast. After that we went out to my parents house to cut the lawn for them. While we were there my cousin and her family that live in Alberta arrived at my parents. They will be here for about a week touring around. It was good to see them again as it had been about 10 years since I had last seen my cousin.

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend.

Cheryl
 
So sad the three day weekend is over but I did have a good weekend with wonderful weather. Saturday was my favorite Strength Training for Fat Loss workout. After that, DH and I had lunch with my family and then my sister, her husband, and my nephew came over to our house for awhile. My BIL is a major night owl. He can stay awake until 4 or 5 am. It was 9:30 and my sister was like, “we are leaving!” I didn’t object because I was exhausted. Sunday I did a double Live workout, Live High Intensity Cardio Step and Live Pedal to the Metal. I liked Pedal to the Metal but only thought HICS was just ok. Then it was somewhat of a lazy day for DH and I. Monday I did Live Total Body Barbell and Bands. It was a good workout. Then DH and I ran some errands. I had brought work home but ended up not doing any of it. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Pam Great job on RWH LIH 1 & 2 plus abs 2! Hope you had some nice weather and got some good skiing in.

Janie So sorry about Dolores at the retirement center. I do hope she had family that could come be with her. Your bread looks amazing.

Cheryl Great job on RWH LIH 2 + pilates abs and LLA! Sometimes it is nice to catch up on your shows and take it easy. Great job on YR and starting your TRX rotation with ICE Chest meltdown! That was nice that you got to see your cousin. Hopefully you can spend a little more time with them while they are around.

Have a great day!
 
Janie So sorry to hear about your day at the retirement home. That is very sad and must have been very hard for you. You had quite the rough week my friend! {{{BIG HUGS}}}} to you!! :(
Your bread looks divine, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cheryl Great job on RWH LI2 and pilates abs and housework. The casino sounds like fun, but would have been more fun if you had won too! Great job on LLA also. Sorry to hear you weren't able to go dragon boating.

Janie I am looking forward to seeing your finished creation! Sorry to hear about Delores. I hope that her loved ones are able to be there with her. QUOTE="janiejoey, post: 2358265, member: 99835"]Trying to finish up some art work before I start another rotation tomorrow. It (art work)

Cheryl Great job on YR, TRS and ICE MD and BB! How nice to see your cousin!

Julie I'm glad you had a great weekend and wonderful weather. Our weather was a mixed bag. It actually was a lot nicer than they predicted, with Sunday being the only rainy day due to Bonnie. They said Monday was going to be a washout too and it was beautiful. Great job on STFL. Oh man, I don't think I could stay away until 4 or 5 am anymore! I have a hard time past 10 most nights! Great job on your double Live workout and TBBB!

We got to ski on Friday night and it was really nice out and we had a great ski. I ended up taking Saturday as my day off because Carl was here and we went to see the College Ultimate Frisbee championships because both UNC (Carl's school) Pitt (Doug's school) were playing. It was fun and they both won! We skiied again on Saturday afternoon, but it was a lot harder because we were both sore! On Sunday I did LLA and on Monday I did Intensity. This morning I did RWH CUB premix with abs mixed in. I decided not to start a rotation this week because we are going to the beach for the week next week so will start a rotation after that. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Have to let go of some of the sadness around me and move on. There's nothing I can do. I'm ready for a Rotation. It's between May or June. Tomorrow I will pick one and continue with my exercises.

Cheryl, Great job on Yoga Relax and starting back up with TRX and the addition ICE Chest meltdown and blizzard blast. Whew! Good for you! So kind of you to take care of your parents like that. Nice to see family, enjoy them this week.

Pam, HOW FUN, you skiing again! Bet it was fun seeing the College Ultimate Frisbee championships. I can't believe they both won! How cool is that! Great job on Sun for RWH CUB premix with abs mixed in.

Julie, Yeah, the weekends do go so fast for working people. Wait until you retire, everyday goes by quickly. Great job on the ST for Fat Loss workout. Glad to see you being with family, so important. Great job on a double Live workout, Live High Intensit Cardio Step and Live Pedal to the Metal. Whew! And for Monday's Live TBB and Bands.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Last night DH and I took Ozzie for a walk and got home just as rain drops started falling. I then did Stretch Max 2 with the ball. That one seemed to really stretch out the upper body more especially the shoulders which I needed.

Pam So glad you had a better weekend than you thought you might. Glad you got some skiing in even if the second day you were sore. Great job on LLA, Intensity, and RWH CUB w/abs.

Janie Sometimes you need a moment to be sad and feel those feelings but you are right, eventually it is best to move past it. Good luck picking a rotation. Whichever you choose will be fun.

Have a great day!
 
Janie It can be hard to let go of the sadness sometimes, but it sounds like you have a good plan for moving on. Nothing like a good sweat to help uplift your spirits. I didn't know that the June rotation had been posted, I need to take a look.

Julie Sounds like your timing was perfect with your walk, I'm glad you got it in before the rain started. Great job on SM2!

This morning was Tabatacise for me. Always hard, but always good! Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
Julie Sometimes I think the 3 day weekends seem to go by faster than the 2 day ones. I am glad that you had a great weekend. My DH is a major night owl too, me I am lucky to make it to 11pm. Great job on STFL your double live workouts and TTBB.

Pam Great job skiing. Too funny that both Carl and Doug won. Way to go on LLA, Intensity and RWH CUB.

Janie Sometimes you just need to be sad. Exercising will lift your mood, I know it always helps me.

Julie Good work on Stretch Max 2 and getting your walk in before it started raining.

Pam Good job on Tabatacise.

Yesterday was my TRX with muscle meltdown back and the blizzard blast. Last night was dragon boating. This morning was RWH LIH 1 and core 1.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did my Lift Weights Faster workout. I was really struggling for some reason. Not sure if it was just being tired or what. I did increase my weight but not by much and not with every exercise. I am going to try it again next week with the same weights and see if it is any better.

Pam Great job on Tabatacise! That is a really tough one every time. I can’t say I ever finished and felt like I could have done more.

Cheryl Great job on TRX w/MM Back and BB, dragon boating and RWH LIH1 + core 1! I need to get my TRX out more often. I just tend to never think about it except for inverted rows.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Well, both Carl and Doug's teams won in that round, but neither of them made it to the finals unfortunately. It was still fun to go watch. Great job on TRX, MM, BB, and dragon boating. You inspired me to look around here for dragon boating. I did find a club, but they all look a lot younger than me, so not sure about it! Great job on RWH LIH and core 1 too!

Julie Great job on LWF. I'm sure it will be better next time, you were probably just having one of those days. We all get them sometimes and sometimes for no good reason! I definitely have never finished tabatacise and felt like I could have done more! I'm sometimes counting down those last jacks out loud!

This morning I did RWH Circuit Lower Body and bonus abs 1. That is one that I always enjoy. Now I am happy because I am on vacation for the next week. A week at the outer banks with 44 people. woo hoo!

Pam
 
Julie Don't worry about it, there are some days when the weights seems so much heavier than normal. I am sure that it will feel much lighter next week. The TRX is great for inverted rows.

Pam I wouldn't worry about the people looking younger than you. Dragon boating can be done at any age. When I paddled with the other team in the regatta a few weeks ago the steer person was 83 years old, and she was awesome. On our team the ages range from 30s to 60s. The majority of us are in our 40s and 50s. You can always give it a try ;). Great job on RWH Lower Body Circuit and bonus abs 1. Enjoy your vacation.

This morning was my TRX, muscle meltdown biceps and the blizzard blast from ICE Bootcamp.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did Strong Total Body. I really liked it but I wouldn’t say it is a strength workout. It seemed more metabolic. I am so happy it is the weekend. We are supposed to have rain tomorrow but I am not going to let that stand in my way of having a great weekend.

Pam Great job on RWH CLB + abs 1! Have a wonderful vacation at the beach. I hope you have fabulous weather and the week goes by slow for you.

Cheryl Great job n TRX + MM Bis and Bootcamp BB! I’ve really only used my TRX for inverted rows and assisted pistol squats. I need to figure out more uses for it.

Have a great weekend!
 
Walked on the beach today and walked my neighbors dog for about 45 min.. She's a standard poodle and only a puppy. So in need of lots of training. LOL! Deloris passed yesterday and her family was with her.

Julie, Great job on STB. Have a great weekend rain or shine.

Cheryl, Great job on TRX, muscle meltdown biceps and the blizzard blast from ICE Bootcamp.

Pam, Great job on RWH Circuit Lower Body and bonus abs 1. Have fun on your weeks vacations. YaHOO!

Take care,

Janie
