Strength in Numbers

Julie Great job on Gym Styles Back Shoulders and Biceps. Oh no, a cracked tooth doesn't sound good at all. ICK, I hope it isn't too painful and that you are able to get the crown soon.
Actually I've been having motivation issues all week. I do think it is mainly from the time change. It takes me a few days to adjust. Plus I had (and still do) bad DOMS from Tuesdays Afterburn which didn't help with the workout motivation. Oh my, I can so relate to your conversation with your mom about the ice crushers. My mother has such a hard time throwing anything away. What does work for her though is that if she can give something to someone else then she is ok with it. Goodwill doesn't count though for some reason, she likes to know the person she is giving it to. It worked out that there was a couple down the street from her cottage who are huge hoarders, so she ended up giving them a lot of her stuff. :rolleyes:

Janie Great job on your walk on the beach with Rolly. I think you will be fine without Cathe for a couple of weeks since you have that beautiful beach as an option! I have never tried one of the tricycles, sounds like a lot of fun! So happy you are going to have such a beautiful week!
OK, I will let you know when your package is on it's way. The last few days I have been listening to my body scream at me and trying to tell it to shut up! ;)

Cheryl My DH just got home from Vegas last night, so now he is just getting started with the time zone adjustment. He was pretty crabby this morning! :rolleyes: Oh yes, Butters will bite REALLY hard when I work on his knots. His teeth are like little razors!

This morning for me was To the Max. I wasn't sure about it since I still have some pretty good DOMS from AB on Tuesday, but I bit the bullet and did it. It definitely kicked my butt, but hopefully helped with loosening up the legs. We went to see Carl run in the conference track meet last night after Doug got home. He was running the mile and needed a time of 4:35 to qualify for regionals. Well, his time was 4:36! AGGGHHHHH :mad::( He was one bummed out kid. I can't imagine running a mile in anywhere CLOSE to 4:36, that is just crazy. Well ladies, I hope you all have a lovely day, it's almost Friday!!

This morning I could not get out of bed. I think my stress from this week have caught up with me. I did find out that my mom signed the papers for one of the houses we looked at. As long as the inspection goes through they will be moving in early June.

Janie Great job on your walk with Rolly on the beach! And good for Joey for going for a trike ride! I understand following Cathe is so much easier. Sometimes when I stray and do paper workouts I know I am lollygagging and taking longer rest time. With Cathe, I push myself because I don’t want to keep pausing the DVD or rewinding. Enjoy your beautiful weather.

Cheryl Hope you had a wonderful rest day! I can’t wait to see what you come up with for a rotation. Gym Styles is a good series except for the nasty drop set pushups. That is the only thing I dread but at least it is at the beginning so you get it done and over with quick.

Pam Great job on TTM! Sometimes that helps with the DOMS. Oh wow! 1 second makes that big of a difference. What a bummer. I got a temporary crown last night and will get my permanent in about 3 weeks. I didn’t even notice it but I think it is because it is my very back tooth. I think I heard somewhere that you have to allow 1 day for each hour of time difference. From west coast to east coast, that’s like 3 days. Luckily my mom is ok with Goodwill but only after all of her children and grandchildren have had a chance to pass on the item.

Have a great day!
 
On my way out to walk on the beach with Rolly. Will come back to reply to personals. Wanted to share "Brianna" with you.

Will be right back,

Janie
 
Pam Good job on To the Max. Oh man that sucks for Carl to miss the regionals by 1 second. I can imagine that he would be bummed.

Julie I know how you feel with not being able to get out of bed. I have been going through that for a while. Tomorrow is another day. I am glad that your mom found a house that she likes. Hopefully the inspection will go through. The pushups are the one thing that I dread in the gym style series. But you are right at least they are at the beginning.

Janie Another great piece that you have drawn.

This morning was All Out Hiit. I didn't want to get out of bed either but I am glad that I did and got it done. Janie asked if I could post pictures of my cousin's wedding but none of the pictures on my phone turned out. However below is the link to a video that was done for their wedding if you are interested.

Sharan + Paul Wedding SDE Video

Happy Friday everyone.

Cheryl
 
Julie That is exciting news about your mom's house. I am sure you will be very busy getting them ready to move, getting them moved, and then helping them get settled in. I hope you will get some destress time this weekend.
My DOMS are almost gone today but I can STILL feel them a little bit. Afterburn always does that to me. I'm glad you aren't feeling any pain from your tooth. Have you ever gotten a crown before? I haven't, so I have no idea what that process feels like. Well, I've been home for more than 3 days and I do think I've adjusted now, but we went to a concert last night so I was up later than normal :rolleyes: Luckily it wasn't a really late one though so I'm not struggling TOO much today.

Janie I hope you had a great walk on the beach, Brianna is lovely!!

Cheryl Great job on AOLIH and getting it done when you really didn't feel like it. I really like that one too. It is kind've sneaky though! What a bummer that none of your pictures turned out.... :mad:

We went to see Bob Dylan last night so got to bed a bit later than normal and I didn't feel like getting up again. I did get up and do XTrain Chest, Back and Shoulders though. We have a crazy busy weekend ahead too. We had the concert last night, another concert tonight, I have a hair appt in the morning, a party tomorrow night, a memorial service on Sunday and I am making brunch for my friend and her out of town guests before the memorial service. It is for her step-son who died accidentally last weekend. So sad. We were also supposed to go on a segway tour tomorrow afternoon but DH talked me into cancelling that since I couldn't figure out how to do all of that and still get the breakfast/brunch done for Sunday morning. We are going to reschedule the segway tour for another weekend, so I'm feeling a little less stressed about getting everything done now. Happy Friday!

Pam
 
This morning the only thing that got me out of bed was the fact that I was doing Legs & Glutes today. Ok that and the fact that it is Friday. I do love working legs and glutes though. It has become somewhat of an obsession of mine lately. Not sure whether that is good or bad.

Janie Great drawing! I am amazed at how life-like the look. I’ve never met someone with your talent before. I hope you had a wonderful walk on the beach with Rolly.

Cheryl Great job on All Out Hiit! It does feel good to get the workout in but sometimes it is hard to remember that when you are lying cozy in your bed at the wee hours of the morning. I’ll have to check the video out at home later. Not sure I can watch it at work.

Pam Great job getting up and doing XT CBS! You are awesome for doing that after such a late night. Wow your weekend is jam packed. At least most of it will be fun and moving the Segway tour to another time will definitely help. I have had several crowns. I come from a long line of bad teeth on both sides of my family. They are really not that bad to get. There is some soreness from the procedure the other day but it is getting better. Glad you are doing better with the DOMS.

Have a great day!
 
Yesterday and today was an hour+ walking. Fooled around some too. Thank you for the compliments on my niece "Brianna". It really does give me motivation to do more. Joey needs to get back to Shelton, so he's bringing Cathe back with him. Yea! I don't have to go.

Cheryl, I tried the link and nothing happened. Darn! Great job on All Out Hiit. So proud of you getting out of that nice warm comfy bed and doing them. Not easy to do, I know.

Pam, OOOOO! Bob Dylan, bet it was so much fun. Very proud of you too for getting up out of your comfy warm bed and doing XTrain Chest, back and shoulders. What concert will you be seeing tonight? Wow, your social calendar is full. Good for you! I need to make some friends. I only have Joe and my family and of course my cyberspace friends. Need to work on that. Prayers and hugs for your friends loss. How sad. You are such a good friend.


Janie Great drawing! I am amazed at how life-like the look. I’ve never met someone with your talent before. I hope you had a wonderful walk on the beach with Rolly.

Julie, Great job on Legs and Glutes. Pretty soon I'll be able to do Legs and Glutes. :D Wow, what a nice compliment. Thank you.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Pam You sure are busy. I hope you enjoyed the Bob Dylan concert and I think it is Rush you are seeing tonight? Have fun, Rush is an awesome band. So sorry about your friends loss. That is so hard to lose a child. Good idea to postpone your Segway tour.

Julie Good for you in pulling yourself out of bed and doing Legs and Glutes.

Janie Good job on your hour long walk today. Nice that Joey will bring back your Cathe DVDs. Strange that the link didn't work for you. I tried it when I logged in today and it worked for me :confused:.

Well I wish I was as good as all of you and got a workout in this morning. I did get up but I had no energy at all to do anything.....so I went back to bed :eek:. But I did get a good walk in on my lunch break and then I did some vacuuming when I got home tonight. It is going to be a nice weekend so I need to get outside and get some work done out there too.

Have a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Julies Great job on legs and glutes! I'd say a workout obsession is a lot bettter than most obsessions! I'm glad to hear that your tooth isn't painful, I know some teeth issues can be horrible.

Janie great job on your long ok and fooling around! I love that part! :D that is wonderful that Joey will be bringing Cathe to the beach for you, hooray!
Oh yes, Bob Dylan was really good. It was a nice night and it was outside which is always fun. Or social calendar is a little TOO full right now, but it will be slowing down after our trip to Savannah next week (I think....:rolleyes:) I'm really lucky to have some fantastic girlfriends. Most are friends that I have made at work.

Cheryl We're a little too busy i think but it was really good that we cancelled the segway thing today because if gave me some time. Boh Dylan was really good and so was Rush last night.

Thumper;2201620]Pam You sure are busy. I hope you enjoyed the Bob Dylan concert and I think it is Rush you are seeing tonight? Have fun, Rush is an awesome band. So sorry about your friends loss. That is so hard to lose a child. Good idea to postpone your Segway tour.
Sorry you had motivation issues on Friday, but when you don't have any energy sometimes going back to bed is the best thing to do. Great job getting a walk in at lunch though and you got a little calorie burn with that vacuuming too :D;) I wish we were having a beautiful weekend, it's unbelievably cool for this time of year :(

Ts morning I did tabatacise again. I am really liking that one! Then I had my hair appt, did some running around and made some food for the brunch tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Pam
 
Pam I am glad that you liked the Bob Dylan and Rush concerts. Sorry that your weather is so cool. It felt like summer here today. Good job on Tabatacise.

This morning I did XT Legs. After that it was some housework and then I cleaned out the BBQ and got propane. It was so nice out today and tomorrow it is suppose to be even hotter, it could be in the high 80s. Yikes and it is only May!!!

Cheryl
 
Rolly and I did an hour of latin dancing and walking on the beach. I know.LOL No one saw me.

Cheryl, You must listen to your body. Seems you weren't meant to workout today. Great job on the lunch walk and vacuuming

Pam, Love to listen to people sing outside. It's very special. Great job on Tabatacise. Yes, that one is a goody. I don't blame you at all for favoring it.

Cheryl, Great job on XT legs, housework and cleaning the BBQ and errands. If I remember right, I think our best weather is in May. LOL

Take care all,

Janie

Janie That is too funny. I would have loved to see you and Rolly Latin dancing on the beach :D. May can be good but I do remember some Mays that were really cold and rainy.

This morning was yoga. It was so warm when I left this morning that I didn't even need a jacket. After that I got some more cleaning done outside, it was downright hot.....not that I am complaining but it would have been nice to ease into the hot weather. It is somewhere between the high 70s to low 80s here. Last week it was only in the 50s.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Walking an hour on the beach with Rolly then some light yoga at home. Refreshing.

Cheryl, Great job on yoga today. Hot here too. Love this weather!

Take care,

Janie
 
Cheryl It usually feels like summer here by now but it has been a realy freaky spring. We were in the low 60s all weekend and only supposed to be 67 today :confused: They are talking 80s by the weekend, FINALLY! Great job on XT legs and housework and clenaing out the BBQ. I hope you got to use that BBQ too!

Janie Oh, I just love that you were dancing on the beach. I bet if anyone did see you it would just make them smile! Very fun!

CherylGreat job on yoga. It's so nice that you didn't need a jacket. I am a little jealous though because it is so cold here for May! We had planned to ski this weekend, but it was just too cold and windy for it to have been any fun. My DH is dying because he has a new ski and we have only been out once so far.

Janie Great job on you long walk on the beach with Rolly and yoga at home. Sounds like a perfect workout.

I was planning to do a workout yesterday since we will be leaving on Wednesday for Savannah, but I just couldn't get out of bed after being at the party the night before. So when the alarm went off I turned if off and rolled over. I did do core max stability ball later in the day though and I have some nice ab DOMS today. The memorial service for my friends step son was yesterday afternoon and of course was very sad but it was a nice service and there were a lot of people there. This morning I did Hard core extreme interval circuit. I love that workout! Happy Monday everyone!

Pam
 
Saturday was spent cleaning. We got a lot done. This week is our city wide clean up day so we wanted to be able to get as much ready for that as possible. We also have a lot of items to take to Goodwill. I feel so much better with things cleaned up and organized. Of course, we still have a lot more to go in the house. Is it ever really done? Anyway, Sunday was STS disc 19, Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps plus Rear Delts tacked on for good measure. Then it was lazy lounging around the rest of the day. This morning I did STS disc 20 legs.

Janie Great job on your hour + walking! That is awesome that Joey will be bringing Cathe back with him for you. Great job on your dancing with Rolly! I used to dance with Oscar. I would start dancing and then he would jump up on his hind legs and put his front paws on my shoulders. So much fun! Great job on your walk and yoga too! You are doing so good with those walks.

Cheryl Great job on your walk and vacuuming which can be quite the workout! I hope you can find the energy you are looking for in the mornings. Great job on XT Legs plus that housework and cleaning the BBQ! Enjoy your beautiful weather. Great job on yoga plus more cleaning! It feels so good to get that cleaning done.

Pam Great job on Tabatacise! Oh my, you had an alarm set on Sunday!?! That is just crazy! Great job on fitting in core max and on getting those ab DOMS! Great job on Hardcore Extreme Intervals. You sound like you are having weather like us. Not really May weather as we are just now getting close to the low 70s.

Have a great day!
 
Janie Good work on your walk on the beach and yoga.

Pam Yesterday and today felt like August here. We have been breaking temperature records everywhere. It is a little too hot for me. All we have been doing is using the BBQ. There is no way that I am turning on the oven. Wow you set your alarm on a Sunday!!! Good work on your stability ball abs and the Hard Core extreme interval circuit.

Julie It does feel good to get the house cleaned and organized but I agree there is always something else that needs to be done. Good job on Chest Shoulders and Triceps and your leg workouts.

Well it was so hot last night that I didn't sleep at all and I had a headache when I woke up so there was no way that I was working out this morning. I don't do well in the heat at the best of times and I felt really drained. I was so tired that I left work an hour early to go home I was pretty useless at work and I almost fell asleep on the train. As I told Pam we have been breaking temperature records all over. This is really hot for May here and it would be nice for it to cool down just a bit. It feels like we went from Winter right into Summer with no in-between to get used to it. Hopefully I will sleep well tonight and can get up to get my workout in.

Cheryl
 
Joey, Rolly and I went walking on the beach for about an hour. We played, fed the birds and enjoyed. Joey brought back Cathe for me. Weather was cool and windy today, but we dressed the part.

Pam, Will be dancing again soon on the beach. It was totally fun! On the weekday there is usually no one on the beach but me. Maybe another person somewhere in the distance. LOL! You deserve to rest your body a bit and sleep in every now and then. Great job doing core max stability ball and congrats on the ab DOMs today. Also great job on today's Hard Core Extreme interval circuit. I love that one too.

Julie, Great job on cleanmax Sat. I don't think that cleaning the house is every really done.:rolleyes: Good job for all you did do. Great job on Sun for doing STS disc 19, chest, shoulders and triceps plus rear delts tacked on. AND for today's STS disc 20 legs. Yea! You are so good. Very proud of ya. Awe, I can imagine you with Oscar with his front paws on your shoulders. Nice memories.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Julie Oh boy, you have really been getting a lot of cleaning done. Good for you! You inspired me a little bit, I worked on my closet on Sunday. It's been out of control because I don't have a good shoe organization solution. I still don't, but at least they are more organized than they were. :rolleyes: You are right that the cleaning/organizing is never really done. I have a couple of other big projects on my list - the attic and my magazines. Both of those will be large projects! Great job on STS disc 19, Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps plus Rear Delts on Sunday and disc 20 on Monday!
Usually the only reason our alarm is set on Sunday is if DH has a tee time, but I set it because I was going to work out and was taking breakfast/brunch to my friends house. Don't worry. this is not a normal thing!

Cheryl I wish it felt like August here, it feels more like our typical late February/early March. It is supposed to be 80 this weekend finally though. I can't wait! I like hot hot hot so I would take your weather any day! As I was telling Julie an alarm on Sunday morning is NOT the norm! I hope that things cool off for you - send that heat this way please! :D I hope you got a good nights sleep last night.

Janie Great job on your walk with Joey and Rolly. I'm happy that you are getting to enjoy the beach so much. Hooray!! You have Cathe on the beach with you now too, that is great!

This morning I did 40/20 and Core Max number 1 (the no equipment one). I figured that my ab DOMS yesterday were telling me that I need to work my core harder. Maybe I will try to work a horizontal conditioning once a week into my rotations.........:confused: Have a great day!

Pam
 
This morning was Cycle Max Scrambled. I woke up with some glute DOMS and never realized how much the glutes are used in spinning until today. There were times I heard my butt crying!

Cheryl I’m so sorry you had problems sleeping and had a headache. I’m glad you left work early and hopefully that helped. We had that kind of weather last year-straight from Winter to Summer with no Spring. This year Spring is here but it is later than usual. I hope you get the heat relief you need.

Janie Great job on your family walk on the beach for an hour! How nice that Joey went with you. I bet that was fun having him along.

Pam Great job on 40/20 + ne Core Max! I previewed that Horizontal Conditioning you sent me and have yet to do it. In my defense though, I got it the week I broke my foot so I wasn’t able to do it until that healed. Of course, I have no excuse for not doing it now. Whew! I was worried for you for a minute if you set your alarm for all Sundays. Glad to know it isn’t normal.

Have a great day!
 
Cold and windy on the beach, but Rolly and I walked for 1/2 hour on it this afternoon. Came home and needed to do more so also did 30/30.

Pam, Yep, Cathe agreed wholeheartedly to be there for us. LOL:eek: Great job on 40/20 and Core Max #1. I think a HC once a week is a good idea.

Julie, It's always fun with my Joey, especially walking together on the beach. Great job on this morning's CM scrambled. LOL. I can envision in my minds eye your butt crying. Sorry, you tickled my funny bone.

Take care,

Janie
