Today I did Ripped with Hiit Chest, shoulders, and triceps, 40 minutes, 177 calories. Then I did the bonus abs from RWH that is scheduled for tomorrow, 13 minutes, 30 calories. Total time 53 minutes, 207 calories. I am tired today. We went to the retired officers meeting last night and it was long with guest speakers on upcoming health insurance programs through the city and then other speakers. We came home on the motorcycle in the dark and took the car out to get something to eat. We were up a little before 5 this morning.

Judy, you are getting some nice yoga workouts in. They do help a lot. I like Cathe's. I am bad about looking for the shorter ones when I feel so good after a long one.
Valerie, I have had my sunglasses fog up. You are probably right. My son in law wears goggles and a mask and mows their property. It does help his allergies though. I hope you get some rain. It would probably help your air quality. I find it difficult keeping track of calories and nutrients with logging. I use My Fitness Pal and recipes that I make all of the time, I put into the recipes section and get the nutrition information, Sometimes if it is a restaurant that we eat in that is not on Map My Fitness I just find something close.
Lori, I bet Gigi would have loved to stay out in the rain. If it was Gertie she would try to head for the porch or other shelter. I wouldn't want to go out in the woods at night even with a light here. I would be looking over my shoulder a lot. I have received nice results from this one month rotation. Even with some of the not so good eating days. That is great that you got the legs you want finally. I hope that your family and friends are out of the path and am praying no harm to people in Florida.
Deb, yesterday the only addition I put on the workout was the yoga with Kelly Coffey. I do like adding a short cardio when I can to the weight days.
Carolyn, I have used Spark people for recipes and read some stuff there. Are you going to have to do a lot of preparation or move to another location when the hurricane hits?

We will not have to evacuate for the hurricane. We are far enough north and inland to avoid that. Many people have evacuated here and now the storm is following them. We are planning for a lot of rain and wind gusts, probably with power outage. We will make sure that we are prepared for whatever happens. Irma should weaken to a tropical depression by the time it gets here, but the forecast is changing every few hours.

Valerie, I am so sorry about Puss. It is so hard to say good bye to a loved pet. Hugs to you.
The conference is in Orlando at Universal. They won't get the water but they will get the winds. My inlaws live in Navarre Fl. Right on the water. We are thinking they will be fine. They are way up close to alabama and missisippi. My cousin lives 1/2 hour from Orlando. I spoke with him today and they are antipating 125mile winds. Going to be crazy.
Today was my rest day. I had an early morning doctors appt. and was too tired to run with GiGi tonight.
Deb...I have no idea about the conference. My cousin said the parks will be up and running in no time and so will airports. But who really knows? I tried a Cathe yoga once and that was it. I want to love yoga but it just does not do it for me. Glad you are feeling better.
Carolyn...I saw the path of the hurricane and wondered if it would affect you. Good that you will not have to evacuate. This storm is unbelievable. I signed into Spark People and it is amazing!
Judy...glad your back is better. Good to hear. Have you ever done Piyo? I have the program but have not even tried a single one. It looks tough and I know some really like it. I always thought if I was going to do a yoga based program this would be it. Well I still have not gotten to it.
Diane Sue...great you are getting results. I really do not like being in the woods at night. We have forest and trails all around where I live and it has always been very safe with no issues until last year. A young girl out jogging a trail (in the daylight) was abducted and murdered not far from where my son and I hike. I was always scared to walk Chester in the dark and now this does not help. Not sure what we are going to do for GiGi in the winter. Weekend will be fine just after work when I get home is the challenge.
Have a good night all!

Good morning,
Yesterday I did ICE MM Triceps the 4 round premix. Wow...I didn't realize how weak my triceps are. I started out with 8's, and was using 3.5 DBs at the end...
Carolyn, funny you did the Roc'm, Soc's workout yesterday...that is the one that the MM Tricep workout is on. The warm up for that workout is used for the MM....it is pretty long, I thought I was doing the actual workout for a minute there. I need to try the premixes on Cathe's yoga workouts. Scary about Irma...What city are you in again?
Judy, glad your back is better.
Valerie, maybe you will get that needed rain this weekend. Thinking of you.
Diane Sue, you are choosing a health plan that goes with Medicare this year right? I will be in that position early next year too. Did you decide what to get? Maybe the meeting you went to helped? It is so confusing and lots of stuff to look at etc.
Lori, hoping all goes well with the conference and your relatives that live there. My uncle is in Dunedin...that is near Tampa. I have to call him and see how he is doing.
Working the trial this morning and showing Kylee this afternoon....wish me luck...she was a little pistol in our practice run last night....
Take care,

This morning I did Low Impact Step for 37 minutes and 291 calories. Average heart rate was 132 and maximum heart rate was 148. I had my investment club meeting today so it was another early morning exercise session. The weather here is so beautiful that it's hard to believe that a major storm is just around the corner.
Lori, I'm glad that you were able to look at Spark People. There is so much information that it takes a while to explore. I hope all goes well with your conference.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Good evening ladies,
Woke up at 4am and could not go back to sleep. Got up watched weather and news, had coffee then decided to workout and go into the office. Did Cathe's most recent Live workout Sweat Blast. I really liked it. It moved really quick and alternated cardio and weights. I followed up with a BBS Dance Tramp workout. 423 cal / 64 mins. I worked until about noon and that was it. Was able to get so much accomplished with no one around.
Deb...I have really worked on my triceps the past year and they are strong. It will take some time but you will get there. Hope your uncle is safe and out of harms way. This storm is really scary.
Carolyn...it is beautiful here too. Hard to believe that a hurricane is hitting Florida. Spark People is amazing! I love it!
Valerie..thinking of you.
Have a good afternoon all.

Today was a rest day of sorts. I will have to do Ripped with Hiit Plyo Hiit 2 tomorrow. We rode almost 200 miles doing this poker run. Longer than any that we have done before. That was a lot and it triggered the allergies by the latter part of the ride. All the allergens are up there right now and I was feeling pretty good that I was not doing the usual coughing, sneezing, thing. My eyes have been irritated. Hopefully it lets up. I am still using the bee pollen. I barely got ready to head out this morning.
Carolyn, I imagine you will have plenty of rain, and not too much wind damage. I know it is odd when they show the calm in Florida right now and we know what is coming. That is good that you do not have to evacuate.
Lori, I hope things go well for you next week. It is nice that you got a lot done being alone at the office. I know there has been enough that happened around here lately that I would not want to be out in our woods alone. There is also the wild life to worry about as well. I like yoga , but most of the time I prefer it to be pretty active if it is going to be long. I like feeling like I did something. Now if I have worked out pretty well and want to throw in a relaxing stretch type of yoga workout it is usually evening or that I have lots of time on my hands. I think that is the reason I keep doing Kelly Coffey's yoga on her Body Design because it is only 13 minutes and she keeps it flowing, you are not holding a pose forever. There are all kinds of yoga. I have Zuka light yoga and she has some plyo stuff in it and it really does get the heart rate up some while doing it. Then it feels more strength that as stretching yoga.
Deb, funny that you should mention that on Rock'm Sock'm and the warm up. When I first got it I thought I had missed the warm up or something. After all of the research I did on the health plans, I dropped out of our city insurance. It would actually have increased a lot how much we had to pay our as my husband is not old enough for medicare yet. I chose to use Mutual of Omaha supplement after searching out different companies and costs. We have a friend that had Mutual of Omaha and he was very pleased when he went through medical tests and surgery. I got the plan g because it does everything f does but you pay the 183 dollar deductable yearly that medicare requires. Otherwise the difference in monthly premiums would have cost more than the 183 dollar deductable and they both are the same other than that. It pretty much covers the costs left after Medicare pays. I also chose Silver Script as my part D prescription plan. IT was low cost at 28.00 a month without huge deductables and limitations to something like 400 dollars etc.. I even had checked State Farm since they are our home and auto carrier, but they did not have plan G and encouraged F and were higher cost per month. Even their agents employee agreed what I had was better. She kept telling me I needed to check carefully and then she looked it up and agreed. So, I am paying 91 dollars a month to Mutual of Omaha and the 28.00 silver script along with my medicare deduction. I have huge bundles and packets of stuff after going through all of this stuff. Now I have to research my husbands options with the city as they are going up and there are a few different options. The city has opened a clinic for basic stuff like labs and immunizations, flu, colds, allergies etc. that is free for employees. You just have to go downtown to do it. It It is to keep the Cities costs down so it saves the employees money. Maybe that is more information than you wanted I was so stressed trying to read everywhere and understand it all at first. All of the supplement plans are the same as in plan C G F etc.. It is just the costs are varied and not all plans are carried by all of the carriers.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I am struggling with how huge the impact is. I am 100% sure it was the right decision to euthanize. DH is seeing how big a deal it is when you spend much of the day in the same space with your pet and how awful and disconnected everything feels when they are suddenly gone. we aren't stupid.... knew he was getting old and there would eventually be issues. still, when it all happens in a few days, when you go from very functional to just hanging on, you feel like you have been shot by a cannon. he was such a sweet affectionate little guy even when he was so sick... he was a sweetheart.
Carolyn, take care and be watchful for weather issues. Lori, you too. maybe this will all whimper out.... or it might be a massive monumental mess. we will know soon. hope this works out and you can have your meeting but I would have a plan B in the works.
I took yesterday off but did Ramped up today along with part of the ab workout. don't like this ab one much at all several moves I don't like at all so bailed early. those angled moves don't work for me.
- the clinic was very kind and thoughtful and made it as good as it could be. they sent me a flower basket today with a condolence message a total surprise. we will wait awhile and then get another kitty. DH did not understand... until now.... how it was so hard for me to go on like normal when our previous kitty suddenly passed. you see them everywhere, hear them, and they are a huge part of your day and when they are suddenly gone, there is this gigantic hole in your life. we have picked well and had very smart "interactive" kitties who we really bonded with. Judy you are a cat person, you know what I mean. there are cats who are just "there", and others you really connect with. they become a part of every bit of your day. dogs can do it too, but in a different way. or not.

Valerie,
I know what you are going through. I was a total wreck when we lost our senior kitties in 2013. I had no idea how hard it would be. It is a devastating loss and it has a huge impact on your life. I do know what you mean about cats that are just there, and the ones you connect with. Chris and I were connected to and bonded with our kitties and they were a very significant part of our lives. They leave a huge void in your life when they pass, and when it's sudden it's such a shock to your system. When we went through it, it really did help to adopt another one soon. I didn't think it would and I was actually resistant to the idea, but it did help. It also helped me to spend some time on Rainbowbridge.com.

Judy I'm going to move to the new thread.
