Debbie, I hope things are okay. How is the knot after the weekend.

Roselyn, I thought it looked like there would be a lot of info which I would enjoy on Caroline's app.

Jolie, I hope the puppy is okay. Nice work on the hill climb.

Doreen, nice work getting in a good ride yesterday and a stretch today.

Belinda, great job on P30 lower body plus band work. I find band work around the legs standing seems to put extra pressure on knees when they are hurting.
 
Today I had a doctor appt, so got home earlier. I decided to do Penny's All Standing New Years Eve 60 min. HIIT Party. 45/15. With 2, 1 min breaks. This is one of my faves. It's fun and is a good balance of strengtb and cardio. It works it all and no on the floor moves.

Another rainy day. This is getting depressing.

Good workouts Ladies. Going to walk the dog. It finally stopped raining.

Hi everyone, sorry I've been MIA. My mom had a stroke on Saturday. Luckily my husband and I went over there to cut her grass in the morning and she was having all the symptoms of a stroke. I called 911 and she stayed in the hospital until yesterday. She is doing very well and seems to have no lingering side effects except for some confusion every now and again. OMG, it was so scary. And now my blood pressure is up, this morning it read 191/104! I just took it again here at work and it's down to 167/88. Geez. Back in March when I went for my yearly exam, my doctor raised my meds a bit because my blood pressure has been so high but it doesn't seem to be helping. In fact, it seems to be making it worse. So I emailed her this morning to see if she can prescribe another med but I'm sure she'll want me to come in for tests. I hope not, I just don't have the time. I am so busy at wok with another spelling bee this Thursday and Young Authors next week.

Anyways, I got up to workout but just didn't feel right. I took my blood pressure and the reading was really high so I decided not to workout. When my mom was in the hospital her BP hit 210/109 or something like that. It was incredibly high. Mine's not too far away from it.

Anyways, just letting you all know what is going on. I've been really stressed out and feeling depressed. I hope it passes.

Debbie - I am so sorry your mom had a stroke and your BP is so high. You have a lot of stress going on. Maybe just go for a light walk outside, maybe it will help with your stress. My thoughts and prayers are with and your mom. I hope your doctor gets back with you soon. So sorry you are going through this. Is there something I can do, please let me know.

Debbie, wow, I feel so bad for you and your mother. Thank goodness she is alright and doing better. Scary when health issues with other people affect our bodies in such a negative way. I hope your mom is feeling better and I am so happy that you had gone over to cut her grass that day, you saved her life! It is for the best that you do not workout when you are under that kind of stress, no need to stress yourself out anymore than you already are. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know, we are here for you :)

Today I had an excellent workout, I did CL# 382 Wicked Upper Body. I love this workout, now that I have done it a few times I have the weights just right since I know what is coming. Workout was 51 minutes and I burned 428 calories.

My puppy is doing so much better now, the singer from the bee or wasp came out while I was rubbing him last night and stung me! My finger went black and blue immediately and is so sore today. I wonder what kind of insect that was to be able to carry that kind of venom? Anyway, he is finally eating and drinking and is doing better :)

Cam, way to go on getting home earlier yesterday and getting in a good workout. It is supposed to rain here tomorrow, that is unheard of in CA at this time of the year.
However, on Mother's Day it is supposed to be nice and sunny.

Roselyn, great job on the workout.

Diane Sue, great workout yesterday, that looks like a great one to try! Impressive weights too!

Doreen and Belinda, I hope you both have good workouts or walks today.

Make it a great day.
 
Hi,

I had an appointment this morning with my doctor.

I went for a walk and did SBF Butt Lift and Bring Sally Up Booty :D that one is a burner.

Debbie - I will keep you and your mom in my prayers! Please take good care of yourself.

Diane - great job yesterday. The band work didn't border me, it was the lateral moves that hurt my knee. The shot hardly did anything for my right knee :( Great job on your workouts

Cam - I hear you on the rain. I took a chance today, glad I went. Great job on your workout.

Roselyn - how are you liking the new Caroline app and workouts?

Doreen - have a great workout today.

Have a great day and workout.
 
Debbie, glad your mom is ok. Try to relax, there are a lot of ups and downs with our elderly parents. Somehow, they have an amazing way of bouncing back. The miracles of modern medicine. My mom was predicted to not make it until summer. She's very alert, healthy and starting to walk. They are all wrong again.

Today I did Michelle Metcon Cardio & PiYo Express. Such a great workout. Beautiful day, so going to walk the dog.

I know some of you watch Fox News Channel. I just read Tyrus's book, Just Tyrus. It's really good. I highly recommend it. I have Kat Timpf's book on hold.

Good workouts!
 
No workout today. I went for brunch and games with friends and came home and did some work in the yard.

Debbie, I am so sorry that your mother had a stroke. The stress from that would cause most people's blood pressure to be elevated. I hope that you can get it back down. Try to relax as much as you can considering work, I am sure that adds to it as well.

Jolie, that is weird that the stinger came out and affected you like that. Whatever it was it had a strong venom. I am glad that your puppy is getting better.

Cam, nice work with Michelle Metcom Cardio and Piyo today. Did you check those books out from the library or purchase them? I saw both of them had books. They probably would be interesting.

Belinda, nice work with SBF workout. I am sorry the shot did not help your knee at all.

Roselyn, nice work with lower body day.
 
Hi everyone, thank you for all the kind words. My mom is doing amazingly well so that is one thing I'm happy about. I still worry about her, though. My doctor doubled my blood pressure meds again so now I'm on 20 mg. I'm to take 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening. It's down this morning but still considered very high. She told me to give it three days and then let her know how I'm doing.

I did walk on my treadmill this morning and for some weird reason, my Garmin didn't record it. I selected the green check mark when I stopped the watch so I'm not sure what happened. I walked about 2 miles.

Great job with your workouts everyone!! I will try to do personals tomorrow. I am so busy at work. Once next week is over my events are done for the school year. Thank the dear Lord!!

Have a great day!!
 
Hi,

Today I did STEP BOSS PHA 3 without the risers and hops.

Debbie - I am glad your mom is doing well. Praying your blood pressure goes down and your stress level. Great job with your walk this morning.

Diane - yard work is a workout. Glad you had fun with the ladies yesterday.

Today I had a great workout on the TM, walking seems to make me really happy for whatever reason. I walked uphill on incline 5.0 for 1 hour, traveled 3.3 miles and burned 622 calories. It was raining here this morning but now the sun it coming out! I want summer to come now.

Great job on the workouts yesterday and today.

Debbie, nice job getting on the TM, this will help you relax and make you feel better.

Doreen, way to go on the bike ride and dog walk, I bet it is cold where you live? Maybe not, I remember you saying you started working out outside a few weeks back.

Belinda, great job on the booty workout, I need to do that workout!

Cam, I used to watch Fox News until Tucker left, now I am on News Max and Rumble ect. I heard Tyrus's book was good and I am sure Kat's is good too. The only show I watch on Fox sometimes is Greg Gutfelds, he is hilarious!

Make it a great day.

Diane Sue, I hope you had a great day with your ladies group and your game playing and all.

Today I did CDorner Legs and Glutes with Dumbbells and Bands from this morning, 47 minutes, 98 calories, heart rate 87/124, 848 steps. I followed this with CDorner Stretch after Step, 17 minutes, 25 calories, and decided to go ahead and do Raw Ab Circuits, 17 minutes, 40 calories. Not cardio today. I just was not feeling cardio this morning. Total time was 81 minutes, 163 calories. I don't think that burn seems right.

Debbie, sometimes I think I must have pushed the wrong button on my Garmin and usually if I click on my watch at the top it will go ahead and sync it. I don't know why it does that at times. I am glad your mother is doing well with recovery. I am sorry they had to double your blood pressure meds. I was glad when I went to my doctor's appointment this year and my blood pressure was normal. I have started monitoring daily and take beta sitosterol and I cannot take the Lovastatin he gave me. It makes my mouth fill up with sores. I think all of the pain and meds is what shot up my blood pressure. They are watching me because I have a leaky heart valve. Stress can sure wreak havoc though.

Belinda, nice work on PHA 3 with some modifications. I really don't like the hopping move with weights in workouts. It puts too much pressure on my knees. Summer time seems tl leave me with lots of yard work. I cleaned and washed down the patio and patio furniture along with the counters and built in grill I never use. I wish I had my old smoker grill that you use brickettes in.

Doreen, good job on a ride and getting a walk in with your dog this morning.

Jolie, nice work on the treadmill today. We have sun today, but they have more rain coming. I need to get back outside today to do some things. Getting out in the sun usually makes me feel more energetic and sleep better. I always have a nice time with the ladies group. I am hosting next month. We have Fox on from Jesse Waters starting till Greg Guttfield is over unless I am just not wanting to hear anymore and turn it off for some peace. Greg Guttfield is usually hilarius. Sometimes I do not care for his guests or a subject matter and I turn it off. He is usually on the earlier Fox show a lot. I have New Max and Frank Speech as well. I miss Tucker. I always new what time it was by the show. Who needs clocks!

Checking in with Penny 40 min. Killer Triple Set Strength & Cardio. That was quite a workout and I liked the exercises.

Diane, I have Kat's book on hold from the library. I usually do e-books, unless the wait is too long, then I do paper. I really don't understand the wait for ebooks. Why can't you get digital copies quickly?

Jolie, I love Jesse, Laura and Gutfeld. I never watched much of Tucker. Actually I try to not watch much politics at night cause It just gets depressing.

Belinda, PHA 3 is one of my favorites of Cathe's. Such a great workout. Glad you are able to workout.

I had my 2 yr check up and Xray with my surgeon. He said everything looks great and I can "live life":D He said no limitations in my workouts but don't take up running. Ha! No problem there. I absolutely hate long distance running. I was always a sprinter in school. I doubt I will change much of what I do. I don't want to ruin any more disks. I will save my impact for step workouts, though.

Cam, I have never quite figured out why e books have to be turned in by someone else before they can be checked out by another person. I have not checked out anything in a long time but used to get books for me and my grandchildren to read. If someone takes a long time to return the e book it takes longer to get a copy. I guess libraries are limited on how many they can lend. I read on my tablet most of the time but do purchase books with materials that give me usable information that I can go back and look at later.
That is great news to hear from your surgeon. I bet you are really relieved.
 
Good morning,

SBF Intermediate Lower Barre + Inner Thigh Fire is done. I have no time for personals, I have to get ready for my CT scan and MRI today.
