This morning I did the Upper Body Balance Discs, SB Bonus Abs 2 and Restorative Yoga. We don't use our air till it hits 80 in the house, and set it at 78. This morning the temps got down to 74, so I opened everything up because the air in the house felt dead, but it was back to 80 by 9:00. So back we are to air again. I'm just not a fan, I like being able to open windows, but it's going to get nasty outside again today.
Today I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga, Morning Energy practice which was18 minutes. It’s a very warm day already and it will get even hotter over the next few days.
Cathy, great job with Upper Body Balance Discs, SB Bonus Abs 2, and Restorative yoga. The a/c is critical here with the heat and humidity. It looks like this summer will be extremely hot.
Waving hello to everyone and wishing you a wonderful day.

a big reason i moved to the PNW was its cooler here most of the time. a lot of people hate it but im happy at 50 degrees!. i cant function when its hot. we set our AC to 65 although it never gets close to that. the house doesnt need much heat in winter. we like windows open too. no matter what its set on, the upstairs stays warm. a couple years ago we got some mini splits installed in the bedrooms. since then they are what we use. if we run the full house AC, its seldom for long. if wildfire smoke is a problem, then yes. mostly we use the bedroom coolers and thats enough. we seldom get serious humidity like i know the midwest and southeast get.
yesterday i did every therapy exercise I've ever done, and walked for half an hour in the yard. we planned to walk or ride this morning but it was still 50 and raining so maybe later today.

Today I did 4DS High Intensity Step. I wanted to put together a workout with the step from the 2 cardio workouts, but while LIS has a breakdown between the step and the blast, HIS does not. Which seems odd. Then I did Live Metabolic Madness. That was very challenging!
Years ago the house we lived in (I was 7-9th grades there) didn't have air, though my Dad managed to have a window air conditioner in their bedroom. One of the summers we had a really hot spell, and all of us set up in the finished basement and slept down there for a week. Even on hot days, our basement only gets to about a high of 72 which is fine with me.
I didn't get called into jury duty for today, but I have to check every day after 5:00, to see about the next day. So, I set an alarm, so I wouldn't forget. I have an appointment for a tire rotation tomorrow, so we'll see if I get to keep it.

Today I did JS HiiT Walk, 30 minutes, 213 calories burned, average heart rate 136, and maximum heart rate 163.
Valerie, nice job with the yard walk and therapy exercises.
Judy, great job with your outdoor walk and Yon Yoga. Walking early was a good idea.
Cathy, great job with 4DS High Intensity Step. Hopefully you won’t have to actually go in for jury duty.

Today I did LMR Pilates Fusion just to the cat cow for a warm up with LMR Cardio bonus, 22 minutes, 100 calories, heart rate 105/151. I then did CDorner Move To Improve Day 23 Tabata Cardio 27 minutes, 188 calories, heart rate 140/162. Total time was 49 minutes, 288 calories, 3,458 steps. I did not do anything this weekend.
Carolyn, nice work on JS Hiit Walk today.
Cathy, good job on 4DS High Intensity Step and Live Metabolic Madness. I use have used the 4DS Premix that does both step workouts together many times. I always dreaded jury duty. They always made us come in every day till they had picked who could leave and stay. Usually got out of there after two days. I have been through it 3 times. That is plenty.
Judy, nice job on the 30-minute walk outside and 30-minute Yin Yoga class. It has been pretty warm here lately in the 90's. My dog has me out there multiple times playing fetch with him.
Valerie, nice work doing every physical therapy move you have done and yard walk.

yesterday DH had his big oral surgery. it didnt take too long, an hour, but tough one. he is doing ok with some swelling and needs to keep it toned down this week. careful with eating and drinking etc. soft pedal exercise. i was very busy all day so took a day off exercise.
we live in a community of 150 homes with a HOA. yesterday our HOA president posted his dog had been killed by cyanide poisoning. it was most likely bait for coyotes/rats but no one is saying anything. what a terrible thing! we all live on 5 acre lots. most people dont have their lots walled off and even electric fencing might not work 100%. it was a friendly dog who didn't usually go off his lot unless being walked. i dont know details. like most semi rural areas, we have predators around but generally minding their own business. so sad to see happen. all our neighbors especially those with dogs are terrified and afraid to walk because no one knows where this came from and what is the source.
diane sue be cautious with the cat cow move. i do it but not with the energy i used to put into it.

judy he sounded very upset , and so are the many dog/cat owners here who cant imagine what happened. was it intentional? a terrible accident? nobody has a bunch of cyanide just sitting around the garage! its deadly dangerous to handle at all. my guess is someone was concerned about a coyote who was hanging around last week and decided to try to kill it. bad idea.
i decided to mt bike the neighborhood this afternoon and did a 5 mile ride for 45 minutes .i did not see a single dog anywhere in any yard. usually i get barked at plenty, or the dogs just run back and forth along fences, and see people walking their dogs but no one was out today. i didnt know the dog, but a lot of people knew her and said she was a friendly dog who visited neighbors yards. its very upsetting not knowing what happened.
ETA the dog died very quickly according to the owner, and there were bits of the bait still in her whiskers so they were able to tell quickly what it was. some government agencies can use it to kill predators and then rules get vague, with it sounding like its illegal in most states except for some industrial uses. you can't run down to Home Depot or Lowes for a box of cyanide.

I'm so sorry that happened Valerie. I can only imagine how I would feel. We take one of our cats out on a leash, just in our yard, but I'm always watching to make sure she doesn't try to eat anything. That is so scary not knowing if someone did it on purpose. I agree, it was probably someone trying to get a coyote, but it was a really bad idea to do that in an area where people walk dogs.

Today I did CDorner Sweaty All Standing Hiit with bands, 27 minutes, 181 calories, heart rate 140/176, 1,942 steps. I did not have a lot of time this morning because I had to run some errands. I also did a stretch afterward.
Valerie, I barely moved my back for cat cow and just did child pose and stopped because next was lying on the foam roller and I was not so sure that was a good idea on my vertebrae at this point. I just moved on the the cardio. That is so sad that your neighbors dog died from cyanide poisoning.

This morning I did Body Max 2 cardio and I was drenched. It was only 71, and I had the window open but it was still so humid. While I was eating breakfast, it rained pretty hard, straight down so the windows could stay open and it really cut the humidity down, so when I did PHA 2020 it wasn't bad and all sweat could be attributed to the workout!
Valerie that's is so tragic about the jobs. I will never understand how people can use poison when so often it kills animals who they weren't targeting.
