I did Live Express Your Step this morning. I think it's the only Live step routine I've done that she didn't mess up at all. LOL Probably because it was mostly taken from DVD step routines. I'll play catch up tomorrow.

my check still didn't get there. I think I will wait until monday 4th and if nothing shows up, send a new one. it doesn't say good things about the reliability of the PO when all of us had problems this year. I wonder how much has to do with the generally pathetic level of competence of the current administration. my sister complains endlessly about everything so its hard to tell whether something is really wrong.
we find Netflix disk service is much slower than it used to be but we don't get that much important material via the mail anymore.
did a costco run this afternoon, and squeezed in 20 min on the elliptical at level 10. not a long workout but that's OK, I was running around the whole day.

Today I did SS Total Body Giant Sets. My time was 59 minutes with 234 calories burned. Average heart rate was 109 and maximum heart rate was 159.
Diane Sue, you had a good workout yesterday. Great job with Live Christmas Wonderland, WS3 Add On Abs, and WS3 Deep Stretch. I considered doing those two WS3 workouts earlier this week but chose something else.
Cathy, nice work with Live Express Your Step.

No workout as it was shopping day. Took Nick along, so he could buy the dry stuff he needs when he goes back.
Had a wrench thrown in their return to NMU plans last night. NMU sent out the email to sign up for COVID testing times and when they went to sign up discovered that because Derek is in a residence hall, he can't get tested till the 15th, but Nick is in a townhouse, and he can't get tested after the 13th. So, Nick is going up the 11th by himself (which really doesn't thrill me) and I'll take Derek up the 15th and stay the night in Marquette. The governor doesn't want anyone in residence halls until the 15th in order to allow a 14 period after New Years day because there will be people gathering. But that shortens there original testing plan, so they split testing between those already in Marquette or living in campus apartments/townhouses and those in residence halls. It makes sense, but it's a pain for us.
Judy our mail comes through Grand Rapids and I don't know that it's as bad as Detroit, but in the last 6 months it's definitely gotten worse. Prior to that I never had to mark that a piece of mail we were supposed to get wasn't delivered and I've had to do it more frequently lately.
Carolyn great job on the workout!
Valerie is your sister older than you? She sounds like my Mom who is turning 80 soon. She will NOT use anything more high tech than a flip phone and that she keeps turned off and only turns it on for the rare times she uses it. My Dad has a smartphone, laptop, and iPad and is fairly good at using them. If something happens to him, she loses her ability to have regular contact with us, plus she really should not be driving. She's clearly got signs of dementia, plus anxiety issues and a few years ago when she drove somewhere she had to sit and figure out how to get home, but she will fight getting any help tooth and nail because she has white coat phobia. Not to mention she can't see well because she won't get her cataracts taken care of. I do not envy my Dad trying to deal with her.
Diane Sue great job on the Christmas workout! It sounds like a good one and not many people could pull that off in a mask and beard!

This morning I did Coffey Fit Raw Step and Legs 45 minutes, 232 calories, heart rate 125/158, 3,748 steps.
I then did Raw 5 day Strength day 3 just a little of the abs section that was shoulder intensive and then the legs, 21 minutes, 41 calories, heart rate 86/130, 325 steps. Total time was 66 minutes, 273 calories, 4,073 steps.
Legs was 5 sets of both moves
front squat 1 and 1 halfs 10 reps started first two sets holding a 30# dumbbell, I then use 15's for the last 3 sets of 10
Bridges with shoulders on step 30# dumbbell for two sets of 10 reps then 10 pulses then dropped to 25# dumbbell for final 3 sets last set has somewhere around 30 pulses at the end.
I needed to get done and get out to stores before the sleet and snow hits later. Otherwise I might have checked out the live workouts Kelly was doing on facebook today.

It is raining ice pellets right now. I am glad I got the errands run.
Judy, yes, a lot of people have resorted to shopping online. `A lot is due to so many businesses not being open.
Valerie, I don't know what to say. My bills that come in the mail have all showed up like normal. I got some mail today and a couple of packages. The packages were from Amazon though and they came over night and were put in my mail box locker. Maybe it is specific areas that are having problems getting out the mail. The holidays probably has slowed down the mail some as well.
Carolyn, nice work with Total Body Giant sets.
Cathy, that is too bad your sons cannot travel back together. Why do they have to wait to get the covid tests. I really don't think much of the quick test for covid and accuracy. I have a friend who tested positive and her husband had the same thing and his doctor said it was bronchitis and his test was negative. They both went through the whole thing together and had the loss of taste and smell. If I would have left it at the quick test, I could have thought I was negative. I kind of understand them doing it though since most would be going home for the holidays.
I think that there are a lot of people that are older who are set in their ways and kind of stubborn about changes. I know a couple of the ladies in my group that still use flip phones. One of those does not have a computer in their house.

I worked today and did a short yin yoga when I got home.
Carolyn-Great job with S&S Total Body Giant Sets.
Diane Sue-Nice job with Coffey Fit Raw Step and Legs. That sounds like a good one.
Cathy-That is too bad that your sons can't travel back together. What happens if a student tests positive? It seems like they could let them get tested locally.

If she could only use a flip phone!!! She is younger. She blames everything on epilepsy. I don’t buy that. She is lazy, never puts the slightest effort into learning. even written directions.
She didn’t know it was time to throw away her VHS tapes/ player, that she never used. She has been given a smart phone, paid connection but won’t learn to use it. I tried helping via the phone but it was a joke. She complains her daughter and son won’t talk to her. all she does is complainabout everything. Once she gets anyone on the phone, it’s a long tirade of negative things, on and on. No wonder her kids cut her off. She repeats herself over and over. the same story gets told again and again. I always let it go to VM. she uses the whole time up and often calls back and repeats. If I call back, she repeats again(!!) unless I stop her. I do. she is computer illiterate. I try to be kind, but it ain’t easy! the longer it goes, the more behind the times she gets. she cant drive but refuses to budge from her dumpy house, which is an awful mess. eventually... whatever social services are available will drag her off to a care facility. If I thought for a second she would put effort into learning something, I would buy her a computer/smart phone but its abundantly clear she wont do it. her belligerent attitude has cost her everything.... divorce, her children, avoided by most friends and family. I gave up trying to fix what is unfixable. it helps me to vent here occasionally so thanks for listening. such a waste of a life.
Did a 50 min spin, push ups and dips.
cathy too bad the boys can’t go together Everyone trying to do what’s best and not always getting there. I think most people did what they wanted for xmas and NY and we will see a big surge around mid january so it is best to be especially careful now, plus the new variant.

Today I did Cathe Lve #325 40/20 Low Impact Hiit, 41 minutes, heart rate 116/149 184 calories, 3,618 steps.
I followed with Perfect 30 Flow Strength and Flexibility, 32 minutes, 43 calories, heart rate 85/134, 104 steps. Total time 74 minutes, 227 calories, 3,722 steps. We got lots of freezing rain and then 5 inches of snow. My husband had a hard time driving home from work this morning and did not try backing into the garage like he usually does. Hopefully it melts off soon. My microwave convection oven is acting up already. We put it in about a year and a half ago. It has just stopped and hummed several times now and usually if I unplug and make sure nothing else is running in the kitchen, then replug it will right itself. Did not work this morning
Naturally the main warranty was for 12 months other than main components. Wondering if it is the outlet or the microwave as it sort of scares me because it will sit and hum and not let me push any buttons to stop it. Although our under counter lighting is plugged into the same outlet. Maybe I should try unplugging the lighting.
I hope that you all have a wonderful New Years day with hopes for a great 2021!!

Happy New Year everyone! I did Live Legs and Core Down on the Floor today. Nice change of pace and it would make a great travel workout. All you need is a mat and she wasn't wearing shoes. Plenty of stretching between exercises and a decent length stretch at the end.
Diane Sue NMU has their own testing on campus. They send the tests to a lab in Chicago and have a 48 hour turn around for results. You can do your own test this time, but the lines are so long around here, it's just easier for them to do it on campus. They really want that 14 days between today and the dorms filling up. Nick only sees his roommate because he enters his townhouse from the outside and he has multiple floors and his own bedroom, Derek has a typical dorm room, with a roommate and suite mates. Originally, they would have had more than a week to test everyone, but with the dorms not opening up as early as the rest, they needed a way to keep from getting hit with everyone returning and only having a 3-4 day testing window. I'd be leery of using the microwave, too. We had one that threw sparks inside one day, I unplugged it and told DH no more using it. Of course he wanted to argue with me because he hadn't seen it, but it freaked me out too much.
We had freezing rain and nice icy pellets today, too. Temps will be up a bit over freezing the next few days, so it'll disappear. We had nowhere to go today, so no impact on us.
Valerie it's too bad about your sister, but you're right that there's only so much you can do. My Grandma passed away a couple years ago soon after turning 98 and she had dementia. Was in a home the last 1 1/2 - 2 years. But she was cognizant enough to put her foot down and leaving HER house. My cousin lived across the street and watched her and took her places. She fell a couple times and finally the hospital refused to release to go anywhere but a care facility. Too bad they didn't do it sooner. She could argue with us and win, but the hospital basically had her captive and gave her no choice.
Judy NMU has an older hall that they are using as a quarantine/isolation building. One section for cases that are definitely positive and another for those exposed awaiting results. From the time they started testing in July through Nov 24, they tested 7,500 people and had 282 positives (30 employees, 134 students off campus and 118 students on campus). At one point, I think they had over 100 in the quarantine/isolation building at one point, and they were down to only 2 at the end of the semester. The majority were in August/September when everyone went back up. After the initial first weeks, they kept it pretty well under control.

I did 30 min on the elliptical, then perfect 30 upper body and abs from X train. a good workout.
diane sue, can you move the microwave to another location and test it with a different wall plug? its most likely the microwave but we had problems with a circuit more than once. you want to fix the right thing!
oh my all this freezing rain and ice pellets ...... not pleasant sounding. we are warm and quite wet, northwest dreary but nothing to shovel or slide on.
cathy I expect that is what will eventually happen. if you don't take care of business, you end up in a bad situation. someone else decides for you. she should have sold her house and moved into a senior living center long ago. our mother did the same thing! always trouble to get rides to medical appts and groceries. she cant keep up maintenance on her house, but I might as well be talking to the cat! wont happen without being forced. she has alienated just about every one so doesnt have any family to look in on her etc.
whatever! I cant fix it. Happy New Year everyone. Lets all hope 2021 is an upgrade from 2020.

I did Live 40/20 Low Impact Hiit today followed by LITE extended stretch #2. My heart rate on that was basically identical to yours Diane Sue.
Valerie my grand parents did completely opposite things. My Dad's parents gave him POA when they were in their 80's and when my Grandpa started having strokes in his early 90's, a tax attorney told my Dad how to protect the farm, so my Grandma wouldn't lose it paying for his care. OTOH my Mom's Mother trusted no one! Kept changing her will depending on her mood, ended up cutting off both her kids (my Mom after she had memory issues and convinced herself my Mom was stealing things from her-like her girdle!) Ended up leaving everything to her grandkids and it took over a year for my cousin to get the estate sorted out. It was all a huge mess. My parents have wills and POA's. A good thing given that my Mom seems headed down the same dementia path as my Grandma only she's 10 years younger at the onset.

This morning I did LiTE Metabolic Blast. My time was 44 minutes with 256 calories burned. Average heart rate was 122 and maximum heart rate was 151. My daughter left this morning which leaves me feeling a little sad. It’s really been wonderful having her here for the last 4 weeks.
Diane Sue, nice job with Live Low Impact HiiT and P 30 Flow Strength and Flexibility. Freezing rain and snow make for terrible driving conditions. I’m glad that your husband made it home safely. Fortunately for us the rain that we had ended yesterday and the temperature is above average. My Daughter should have no problem with the drive.
Cathy, nice work with Live Legs and Core and Live Low Impact HiiT + LiTE Extended Stretch. You and Diane Sue seem to be choosing many of the same workouts.
Valerie, great job with the elliptical, P 30 Upper Body, and X Train Abs. I heard someone use a phrase in describing people and their COVID behaviors that made me chuckle: “common sense is not a flower that grows in everybody’s garden”. It’s such a southern phrase, but it can be applied to many things these days.

Today I did Yvette Bachman Christmas workout. It was fun, but I am pooped. Getting ready to do Kelly's 5 day strength stretch. Yvette was 63 minutes (with 3 stops for ads!) 348 calories, heart rate 128/178, 5,612 steps. This really got my heart rate, but there were a few times I saw it drop to 100. The warm up was exhausting. I was glad the intervals were not as long at one thing as the warm up.
Day 5 Raw stretch, 35 minutes, 38 calories, 67 steps. Total time 98 minutes, 386 calories, 5,650 steps.
For some reason Gertie loves to root through snow. When she was a pup and we lived further north we had quite a bit and she plowed through it and dug mud pits. Well, yesterday I let her outside thinking the sod was safe now and she didn't come right back to the door. I was so upset with her when I saw she had dug a hole by the back of the fence and mud all over the snow. Now I keep going out with her to make sure she does not do it again. I tried to pack the mud back in and put the piece of sod that came with it back as well as I could. I thought she was long past that since it has been years. I might have to get a new training collar so I can beep her. Hopefully as this melts she will leave it alone.
Valerie, the microwave cannot easily be moved. It is an under cabinet hood/microwave. It plugs in inside the cupboard above. My husband can change out the plug receptacle, but even that will not be easy as the builders did a lot of shoddy things and this plug plate is half inside a cabinet wall that they cut a hole in to get it there. Why they did that is beyond me. It is like they put all cabinets and counters in and then decided to put in the plug in spots. On the counter by the sink, the space was too short for a full plug plate so they just chopped them off on the bottom.
Cathy, our last microwave threw arcing sparks and a flame I immediately turned it off and got my step stool to unplug it. That is when we purchased this one. This is not a cheap microwave. It is a hood, microwave, convection and is a Sharp. I am pretty irritated. I plugged it back in last night and it works again. I don't get it unless it is the outlet. I was able to make an appointment to get tested right away, but I imagine that is because I suspected I had the virus and had symptoms. I have heard stories of people having to take numbers and wait in line to get tested. Nice to know our heart rates were basically identical with the same work. At least I know it is not me.
Dementia is such a sad disease. My husbands grandma was in a nursing home and could not remember things well. She was trying to protect her underwear from being stolen. Thought my husband's Dad had black eyes when he was wearing tinted glasses. I lost my aunt to alzheimers. She would be coherent some times and others she would call to chat and she didn't even know who her youngest son was when I asked how he was doing. She was 9 years older than I am.
Carolyn, I understand that you would feel sad seeing your daughter leave. We cherish those times we have together. Glad that it stayed warm after the rain so the drive would not be bad. It is melting today. It did some later yesterday, but it was like a river in the street so froze up over night. Warmed up a lot more today.

My husband can change out the plug receptacle, but even that will not be easy as the builders did a lot of shoddy things and this plug plate is half inside a cabinet wall that they cut a hole in to get it there. Why they did that is beyond me. It is like they put all cabinets and counters in and then decided to put in the plug in spots. On the counter by the sink, the space was too short for a full plug plate so they just chopped them off on the bottom.
Cathy, our last microwave threw arcing sparks and a flame I immediately turned it off and got my step stool to unplug it. That is when we purchased this one. This is not a cheap microwave. It is a hood, microwave, convection and is a Sharp. I am pretty irritated. I plugged it back in last night and it works again. I don't get it unless it is the outlet. I was able to make an appointment to get tested right away, but I imagine that is because I suspected I had the virus and had symptoms. I have heard stories of people having to take numbers and wait in line to get tested. Nice to know our heart rates were basically identical with the same work. At least I know it is not me.
Dementia is such a sad disease. My husbands grandma was in a nursing home and could not remember things well. She was trying to protect her underwear from being stolen. Thought my husband's Dad had black eyes when he was wearing tinted glasses. I lost my aunt to alzheimers. She would be coherent some times and others she would call to chat and she didn't even know who her youngest son was when I asked how he was doing. She was 9 years older than I am.
Carolyn, I understand that you would feel sad seeing your daughter leave. We cherish those times we have together. Glad that it stayed warm after the rain so the drive would not be bad. It is melting today. It did some later yesterday, but it was like a river in the street so froze up over night. Warmed up a lot more today.

I did 25 on the treadmill and 10 on the elliptical. then had audio problems with the TV so quit to get it straightened out.
diane sue I thought you probably would have tried the micro somewhere else if it was easy to grab and move.
at our MT house we had a terrible time with a brand new microwave flipping the breaker . even the electrician could not figure out what was wrong. he finally replaced the plug and wires since we were not even moved in yet. something wrong with the plug itself tho tested fine. micro has worked fine since. I would never buy a stove/micro combination. we had one. the micro lasted a couple years and blew up, so we had to replace the entire unit, the micro/ wall oven with combined control panel. we modified the cabinet and put in a separate circuit so it wouldn't happen again. the micro is the spot most likely to fail, just like the ice maker on a fridge.
dementia is sad. my cousin is suffering with it now. he has a different kind, not alzheimers. still... not good. my mother got pretty ditzy but she lived to 98. too long if you're not in great shape.

Valerie, when we replaced the other hood microwave that was already installed we just purchased another the same size to fit in the spot. I have only used the convection oven a few times. It came in handy Thanksgiving because I cooked the ham in it while the turkey and stuff was in the regular oven. I was sort of worried that the problem was more than one device running off of the same current, but that worked no problem. No switch has flipped, it is just like suddenly there is no power or very little and it hums. My husband mentioned a fuse, but that cannot be the case as a fuse would need replaced and it wouldn't go back to working when the plug is unplugged for a bit and plugged back in or sometimes I just push on the plug. That is why I think it is the electrical. I am hoping not to have to spend too much if we do not have to since we are selling. Of course we want the problem fixed ahead of time. We will buy another if we have to, but that is a large expense and a lot of work to install. It took my son and husband together to get that thing held up there right and some of the hardware to hang on did not fit well so it had to be modified to hang it. I read others had that problem with it. I read that some people had problems with this unit when putting them in their trailers.
