Hi all. Just finished Cardio SuperSets. I tried to add on some abs but my two assistants were there and well, after 5 minutes I had to stop.

Becky - I have those Firm steps too. They are collapsed; I took them apart for the move last year. I think of putting them back together, but they are still sitting there.

Hi to everyone. Let's have a great week.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

Today is DH and I's 29th anniversary and we are going to spend it on his sisters boat at the lake. I need to do some kind of stretch today.

Murphy-to funny about your assistants.

Becky-I have the Firms transformer step it comes with a 6" riser that sits on top and 8" riser.
 
Hi girls! Today did DM, the entire thing! I now remember why it's at the bottom! Even with the air on, I was a sweaty mess! Roxie, congrats! 29 years! Enjoy your day together! Murphy, I enjoy CSS, I think you get a lot of AB work in the w/o. That's what I always tell myself! Becky, I had that old wooden step also! Loved it! You will enjoy step so much more now! Lisa, how are you doing? Everything rearranged? Jody, have you tried paddle boarding yet? Ronne, hope you had a great time! Today will be cleaning, got invited to dinner and bonfire tonite. Cake was much better last night! Have a good day! Mary
 
I got 4DS UB PM done. I saw some nice definition in my arms in some of the pics my bff took hiking so I want to try to get more! :)

Becky, sounds like a good thing that you found the cathe steps!

Roxie, wow! congrats!

Murphy, you must have inspired me with 4ds too?

Mary, Hopefully the cake wasn't so good you ate too much of it!

I got a lot cleaned yesterday (I channeled you Mary, haha), got most of my w/o area rearranged, just have to put the puzzle mats down then I'll take some pics. I really want to find something else besides the puzzle mats, especially if they keep coming apart (I'm trying duct taping them together this time). So w/o area carpet cleaned, big hallway, and DH office(Yoshi's old hangout). I hope I got all the cat pee out enough that it doesn't smell anymore. Next up is DS20 bedroom (cat got in there a few times too) and the stairs, ugh, hate doing stairs. That will have to be for another time though. The most important thing is almost done, my w/o area! lol
 
Here's pictures of my workout room, only thing missing is the treadmill which is on three main flour in a spare bedroom since it's too hard to get it down the stairs to the basement.

Lisa, what a great work out space! I'm jealous! Our basement is too short, or the ceiling is too low for me! My work out are (and DH's) is the living room. When people come to visit, especially our parents, we hear a lot of complaining! They don't live here so I really just let it go in one er and out the other! If we made it a formal living room, we would never use the space, this way we use it every day! It's right in your face, can't ignore it! I need a low fan like yours. Mary
 
I did x factor disc 5 for the second time. There are some one legged burpees in there that are pretty unmanageable. By the way, what is at the bottom of your burpee? A traditional push up or flatten chest to floor?

Good job Lisa, that is a lot of work. Yes, I noticed you had a couch/dumbell stand. My workout area is in your face at the front door. I might change it, but for now, I prefer couches and tv to be in the closed off room (which is probably supposed to be a dining room). Murphy, at least you got the main workout in, add ins optional when you have so much help. Mary, I didn't go paddle boarding yet. I'm working on getting out a little more. I'll let ya know if someone interesting comes along. Waves and congrats to Roxie, I hope you two had a nice day. Becky, do you have most/all of the LIS series? can't remember.

I did CW Cardio and compound wts pm today- 2 risers so I could be like Rhonda. : ) That is just a fun dang workout.

Motto for the day, don't think about it, just do it. Have a good one all. Ronne when are you coming back?
 
Hi girls! Today did L&G, fun! Jody, saw your post, you made me get my fanny off the couch! Thank you! Roxie, how was your anniversary? Ronne, you home? Murphy, what did you do today? Lisa, wasn't that a long upper body work out? I need to pull that series out again! Hi to you Becky! Have to run errands, kids will love that! Mary
 
Good Morning,

Yesterday was perfect we spent the day on SILs boat the water was a little rough and I got a little seasick which I never done before but it was nice to pull into a cove where the wind wasn't blowing and just enjoy the quiet. Then we went to Red Lobster for supper. Tonite is another session with PT then Dh and I are either going for a walk or bike ride. DH is on vacation this week so I am taking Tuesday and Wednesday off from work we are going to try the boat thing again.

Lisa-love the workout room, ours is in the basement so no one can see it.

Mary-L&G is a tough one good job.

Jody-can't burpees be done either way I don't always go flat to the floor.
 
Today is an unplanned rest day. The little ones could not sleep and I have been up every hour on the hour from about 11:30 or so. It was a tough night. I will try to get in some upper body work tonight. Ugh.

Lisa - love you work out room. Mine in in the basement. No one really sees it, but the kids play area is also down there and they just love my power tower.

Roxie - I too have the transfirmer. I use it sometimes with the HiiT workouts. The smaller size just works better for me.

Murphy
 
I did LICh today. I'm surprised my legs are still a bit tired from that hike. Boy was that an intense hike! It was so intense I lost my new hat! It was stupid how I lost it too.

Mary, Our basement ceiling is about 7 ft, so not too tall. when I do the throw the ball up move I have to be careful. You are just an amazon woman :) My delts are sore after 4ds UB, I must have pushed it hard, those don't normally get doms. It does drag on a bit, but I hadn't worked out in 2 days so felt I should do a long one :) We only have a great room in the main part of the house, so when we finished the basement we made another great room for the kids to have friends over, little did I know it would turn into an awesome w/o space!

Jody (aka Rhonda), I need to take your motto to heart. I need to go trim the rose bushes. I really dislike gardening!

Roxie, that sounds like a wonderful time on the boat and a great way to spend your anniversary.

Murphy, You poor thing, there is nothing worse than interrupted sleep, you deserve the rest day!

Becky, how's step going?

Ronne, are you still with us? Was your trip awesome?

Off to do the roses, grumble, grumble
 
Hi everyone

We're back! Had a great week - Skye is absolutely beautiful. I wondered if it might be a bit like where you live, Lisa. Beautiful mountains and lochs, stunning scenery around every bend. I was surprised how many foreign tourists were there, lots of Germans and Dutch and quite a few N Americans. We were really lucky with the weather as well, the sun shone all week while the rest of the UK was under a deluge. We did a great walk over 2000 ft elevation from sea level, I thought of you Lisa! I haven't uploaded my pics yet but will post a few when I do them.

Roxie - congrats on the anniversary. 29 years, wow!

Lisa - love your workout room, you lucky thing!

Murphy - sounds like you needed the rest day!

Mary - did the twins enjoy their trip to Washington?

Jody - I cannot imagine being able to do a one-legged burpee!!

Threw myself in at the deep end and did the Hi/Lo/Bootcamp premix from Intensity. It was a killer!
 
Welcome back Ronne! Sounds like an fabulous vacation, so glad you thought of me! :) Our poor mountains are on fire, it's going to be a bad fire season. It's very smoky here right now, not sure if that's why I have a headache or if it's because I'm in the office :)

I've been having sleep issues, so no w/o this morning, I'm hopeful for one tonight. If anything my workout area should lure me in, right? :)

Roxie, enjoy the lake!
 
Hi girls! Today did PH, DD did it with me. She will be in band, she wants to play the bass drum, she needs to get some upper body strength. She did pretty good! Then I did intervals on the TM. Ronne, we missed you! Sounds like you had fun! Lisa, are thoses fires anywhere near you? Roxie, enjoy your days off! Becky, have you tried step again? Murphy, hope you got to sleep thru the night. Jody, what are you up to? A friend got us pool passes at her pool, hopefully we will get there later today, have a good day everyone! Mary
 
Mary, I hope you get to the pool. We plan on a beach morning this week (me n kids). Or at least we did, but kids just watched River Monsters episode featuring bull sharks and they got creeped out. Good job on DM and PH w/ dd. : ) Two goodies imo.

Lisa, I've slept well for a few nights so maybe we are passing it(no sleep) back and forth. Can we just give it to another thread and be done with it or would that just be mean? ; )

Ronne, welcome back! Sounds like a fab trip + u lucked out with weather! and you jumped right back into the workouts, good job.

Murphy were the kiddos sick or just out of sync? Sorry about no sleep and what is probably a half functioning mom brain today.

Roxie, I am glad you and hubby are enjoying the anniversary week. For me, the idea of being trapped on a boat with my ex wasn't that appealing. But I have commitment issues, so maybe it was just the boat. : D

Waves to Becky~~

We are going out for pizza for dd bd today instead of dance, so I'm all personals and no workout today. I use disks for burpees, especially the 1 legged ones.
 
I did STS disc 6, legs, woot!

Mary, the fire is about 50 miles from where I am. The wind was blowing just perfectly that we had a lot of smoke in our air this morning. The air tankers take off from the airport just down the road and fly low with their heavy loads right over our house. Bass drum, wow, that is a lot of work, good for your DD!

Jody, I'm all for giving this no sleeping thing to another group! I think what is going on with me is my own hormones fluctuate through the month, sometimes down to nothing (like when they tested me), so even though I take hormones they are still low enough to bother my sleep. That and my ordeal with Yoshi has been having me up at night. Tonight is my first night all alone EVER in this house. I miss that darn cat more than I thought I would. I miss her, I don't miss seeing her wander and in pain and trying to keep up with where she could possibly be lost at peeing again. I hope we did right by her, I think we did.

Hey, here's a random question. Anyone have facial hair popping up overnight? I have this one place on my chin that all of a sudden there's a hair and I struggle to get it with the tweezers. I finally got it tonight after playing around trying to get it for 24 hrs. I swear this started with my low estrogen too. And it's totally random as to when it shows up, when it decides to it's like it grows in overnight. i'm thinking I've had some low estrogen (from Yoshi stress?) given the sleep issues and this chin hair.
