Smokey!!

I went for a good hike this morning. I got a 450 cal. burn in. Between 11 am and 2 pm, the washing machine will arrive. Tomorrow will be another Cathe workout. It has been super smokey outside. I am so glad that some of the fires have been contained.

The other day, I bought and enjoyed some 'Sunflower Sprouts'. Apparently, many people that eat raw enjoy them. I tried them sauteed with some peas and they were so tasty. They taste like sun chokes or jerusalem artichokes. I just really enjoyed them. They have nearly no calories but are full of vitamins. They have stringy stems that are tender when cooked. I used them in place of pasta. Watch out for some of the pods though, they don't get tender when cooked and are nearly impossible to chew.

Jane-Flipping tires sounds like fun. I am definitely getting myself a foam roller. No more putting it off. My right foot is bugging me and I'm pretty sure that a roller will help. The Killer Tomatoes movie sounds like a hoot.

Tricia- Never worry about doing a 'rotation' thats just a way to keep from missing a body part or doing too many workouts in a row that are the same. They can be fun or they can be oppressive. I'm in more of a 'workout as I can' flow right now.

Alisha ~ I'm glad to hear that some of the fires have been contained. I will have to try Sunflower Sprouts. They sound interesting.

Any interesting plans for the weekend?
 
Happy Saturday ladies!

Alisha - Too funny! Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! I've seen that move! I was thinking The Blob would be more appropriate though! ;)

Glad they're getting the fires contained! How are things going with your dad's truck?

I haven't sprouted my sunflower seeds yet, but now I'm going to have to! They sound really yummy!

Great going with your workouts!

Jane - Oh, man! Wish I could be there to do the zombie run with you! Sounds like so much fun! I looked up that powdery stuff and now can't remember what it's called. I'm going to try a vinegar and water mix and see how that works. Have to wait for the rain to stop so it won't wash right off. They are going crazy though, so I don't think it's going to hinder veggie production.

As always, your workouts amaze me. I still need a foam roller. I've noticed my hamstrings getting tighter and my range of motion getting lower from sitting at work so much and not working out. Hoping getting back into the swing will help.

I did GS Chest & Tris today, Turbo Fire HIIT 15 and my 1 min. jump squat challenge. I was crying during parts of GS. My forearms were killing me even though I never really grip my weights. I just wrap my palms around them and keep my fingers loose. The workout was painful in more ways than just my muscles. I don't remember it being quite this hard before. I'm just going to have to go slow and focus on one workout at a time until I build back up.

Well, right before I got on to update, Stephen said the truck driver called and will have the boat here on Monday morning! That was fast! The estimate was for Wednesday! It's so exciting! I'll try to get some pictures to post for you. Of course, it'll be in pieces until next spring. I have a couple of stock photos from the web site it was on while up for sale that I'll try to get on too. Stephen says it's a lot prettier in person than in the pics.

We'll be able to take vacations on the boat that won't cost anything because we won't need a hotel or gas for a car.

Well, my arms are shaking like crazy and I'm tired now. Going to read a bit, have some lunch, then go to the grocery.

No great plans this weekend, but I'm on vacation next week, so going to relax, get those workouts in, do some surfing, golfing and stuff and just try to enjoy some sunshine!

Have a great day! Check in tomorrow with the latest on workouts if I'm not crying from DOMS! :eek:
 
I may not get my workout today after all. My right foot is hurting a bit. I'm going to buy those shoes and the foam roller today. I meant to stop yesterday but my Mom and I went to the movies instead. We saw Snow White and the Huntsman at the second run theater. I was good, I did not over eat on popcorn. The weather is a bit cooler.
 
Alisha - Sorry about your foot! Hope it's better by tomorrow! Glad the movie was good! I want to see that one too. We cooled off over hear a bit, but we'll be back in the 80s again this week. It was nice while it lasted, but I won't complain about the warm weather because it'll be really cold again soon enough and will last a long time!

I did GS Legs today. Laid off of the bonus rounds though since I'm starting over. I'm sure my legs will still be complaining tomorrow! Even with the use of really light weights, my chest and tris are really sore today from GS yesterday. Ugh. This stinks.

Tomorrow will probably be a rest day. Give my upper body another recovery day before I hit back, shoulders and biceps. Besides, we have to go to the marina and check out the boat. Make sure it arrived okay and get some things off before they shrink wrap it for winter storage.

I'm exhausted from my workout again and could have used a nap! Watched Dr. Who instead!

Have a nice Sunday evening! See you tomorrow!

Hi Jane!
 
I went for a hike this morning, I got a 600 cal. burn in. I plan to do some yoga this afternoon. I plan to spend the day doing chores and studying.

Tomorrow will be a Cathe at 0'dark hundred before I go to a seminar on management for first time supervisors. I'm not supervising anyone right now, but I figure its a good idea to get out of the house.
We did get my Dad's truck back, its fine now.

Tricia- I love Dr. Who!! Good job on your workouts.

Jane- How was your weekend?

Alisha
 
Morning Alisha!

Glad you got a nice hike in! Training can't hurt! Yay, the truck runs again!

We got the boat! It arrived a couple of days early. Stephen went and met the truck at the marina yesterday morning to watch the unload, then he picked me up and we unwrapped the mast (the marina would charge for time to do it) and unloaded all the sails and anything we wouldn't want to get wet and/or freeze over winter. They will shrink wrap the boat, but it can still get some water and it's outside, so the temps will freeze. That was fun moving all those sails to the car, then into the house and down into the basement! A nice functional workout for me yesterday!

My DOMS is much better so I should get GS back, bis and shoulders done today. We're playing golf this morning, then the pups need rabies shots and Milo has to have his regular blood work to test his liver function and phenobarb levels this afternoon. That'll be my day.

Well, I'm off to get a bath so we can hit the links! Have a good day you two!
 
Well...I'm back...even though I didn't go anywhere. Let me try to catch up.

Saturday I did a kettlebell upper body workout. Ouch! My arms were shaking like crazy after that one.

Sunday was a long, slow and humid 10 mile run. It wasn't the best run but I got it done. I was really, really tired on Sunday so I laid low.

Monday - 51st birthday..yikes...how did that happen. I took the day off and went shopping with mom and my twin sister. I didn't workout...had cake and pizza and some other naughty stuff.

Today I will be doing a leg workout.

Only 4 more days of work and then I'm off to the beach on Sunday for a week of doing nothing. Please pray for good weather...or anything but a hurricane as there is a storm way out there. I think it will be around Cuba on Sunday and then it's anyone's guess where it is going. So...say some prayers that it stays away from the Big Bend region of the Gulf.

Tricia ~ The Gym Style workouts are HARD!!! I always got DOMS with that workout. Congrats on the boat. Have fun playing golf today.

Alisha ~ I'm glad you got a hike in. Enjoy your Tuesday!
 
I did not go to my seminar, my brother is not feeling well. I did get up and do Cathe's 28 min. Yoga Relax premix. I plan to do a step workout this afternoon.

I need to check online to see if there are any job openings locally.

Jane- Great job on your workouts. Happy Birthday!!! I will pray for good weather.

Tricia- Congrats on getting your boat. That definitely qualifies as a good workout.

Alisha
 
I did Step Works. I love that workout. Its not modern, its just good, clean, hard cardio. Its a real sweat fest. Tomorrow will be a run/walk plus some yoga.
 
I don't really know what will happen today. My Mom was really sick last night. She has a photoshop 6 class today. I will be driving her downtown and then I will find something to do. I will probably take a book with me and a sweater, I might go see a movie. I don't know if I will get a chance to workout. I plan on having some yoga before bed.

I am journaling my food again and I can see areas for improvement. I am upping my protein/fats/vegetables a little bit and bringing my carb intake down a bit.

Tomorrow will be a hike and some pilattes. I got a disc on Netflix.

Alisha
 
I am going for a 4 mile run tonight. The sun is out today but it's still hot.

Alisha ~ I hope your mom and brother feel better today. I hope your day works out in the end.

Little tweaks to your diet really helps. My mom had great success in losing weight when she decreased her carbs.

Hi Tricia.

Yesterday was a rest day. I stayed home to watch my Mom all day. She was not feeling well. This morning I went on a long hike with some friends. I got in a 630 calorie burn. I was very happy with that. Tonight will be some yoga. Tomorrow will be a Cathy workout, I have no idea which one yet. Tomorrow night I will be going to an Etsy party in town.

On Saturday I will go for a run/walk at home.

Jane- Great job on your workouts. I am definitely working on reducing the carbs.

Alisha
 
Jane - Glad you had a nice birthday! My 51st is in 2 months! I would love a Paddleboard for my birthday, but with the boat this year, it's probably going to have to wait until next year. Hope Isaac goes away quickly so you can enjoy your vacation next week!

Alisha - I like Cathe's classics too! How's your brother doing? Good luck with the job search.

We went to Martha's Vineyard Wednesday and biked. We stopped at a place that rented paddleboards and tried one out. I loved it! It's now on my birthday list! We biked out to one of the beaches and enjoyed playing around in the water. I don't really swim, just hop around and jump the waves! It was a beautiful, but exhausting day! Rested yesterday, so I'll get a workout in today. Today is my last day of vacation. Bummer. I'm not looking forward to going back to work. Stephen is playing golf with a friend from school in Winsor, CT this morning, then he has something at school. His classes start back on Monday. Hoping this next year goes by fast!

I probably won't do much more today besides my workout. Reading more and that'll be it. Going to enjoy my last free day!

Have a great Friday ladies!
 
I did Step Moves this morning before breakfast. I am really pleased with myself because my fitness is improving, its time to add risers!!! I didn't get as much of a calorie burn because the intensity wasn't as high.

This evening, I'm going to an Etsy party.

Tomorrow will be another workout before breakfast, Shred it with Weights and a joggle.

Tricia- My brother is doing much better. I think the key is taking probiotics. Without them, he tends to get blue and depressed. What are you reading?

Jane-Hi!

Alisha
 
Hi All,

I am taking a rest day. I have a 10.5K race in the morning.

On Sunday we are leaving for the beach for one week. I'm not sure what the storm will be doing but either way we need to go. The property place said we could go a week later since it is not rented but it looks like there could possibly another storm behind it. If that comes, then we have to go regardless. We do have trip insurance so if we have to evacuate at least we get our money back. Everyone in our party is willing to go (including mom) but my older sister. She has always been a nervous Nellie. So we'll see what happens. The storm is due to make landfall on Wednesday morning about 120 miles west of where we will be (as of right now).

Alisha ~ I'm glad your brother is doing better. What is a Etsy Party?

Tricia ~ I'm glad your enjoyed your vacation.
 
Alisha - Glad he's better! Probiotics are amazing! Congrats on your improvement! I've never heard of an Etsy party! Hope you have fun! I just started Book 4 of The Dark Tower series. It's almost 800 pages! This one will take me a while!

Jane - Good luck in your 10.5k! I'm sure you'll do well! Safe trip to the beach and I hope you have a lovely time and, even if it rains, you don't get the bad part of the storm!

Stephen got stood up by his friend for golf today. Totally sucks because he had to get up early to get there since it's almost a 2 hour drive for him. He went to UConn instead and spent the day. He had to be there for a 3 p.m. "Welcome" for the new first year PhD students. He's still not home and I'm getting hungry!

Have a great night you two!
 
Yesterday was a yoga day. Today will be another yoga day. I earned a nice blister on the side of my foot on Saturday's run/walk. Tomorrow will be some workout, I don't remember which one.

Jane- How was your race?

Tricia- Did you get a workout today?

Alisha
 
Hi Alisha! I hate blisters! Hope it wasn't too bad!

No workouts yesterday or today. My upper back and neck acted up yesterday. Nothing really triggered it, it just happens sometimes that it'll feel like I have a bad throbbing and I can't move my head. It runs from the upper part under my right shoulder blade close to the spine and up my neck. This time though, it also went down my right arm. The pain was excruciating! I'm a bit better today, but I'm going to have to wait for it to run its course before I can get back to working out again. Quite possibly, it'll take a week.

Jane - Hope you're enjoying your vacation even though you didn't get to go to the beach!
