Strength in Numbers

Joey and I went to Westport Marina and had a ball. Talked with a vendor and she gave me info on how to meet artists and where they gather to meet. Sad in away though because after this month is tourist season for 3 months then they do the gathering again during Fall and Winter. Darn. I have a few days to meet with them during the rest of this month. Can't wait. Tomorrow I'm invited to a board meeting to meet with 3 board members. They will be able to answer all my questions.

Take care,

Janie
 
Yesterday was full of meetings. I think I had less than an hour of desk time. I did get Yoga Relax in yesterday even though my bed was whispering sweet nothings into my ear trying to make me stay. This morning I did STS, disc 21, back & biceps.

Janie Great job on your walk even with it being cold and windy! Poor little Rolly didn’t get blown away did he? Great job on 30/30 too! I really need to add more intense cardio in to my workouts but I just haven’t been feeling it lately. Sounds like you had a good trip to the marina. That will be fun getting together with other artists.

Pam Enjoy your trip to Savannah!

Cheryl Hope you are having a good week!

Have a great day!
 
Just wanted to share a photo of my sisters and my Dad. Me on the right of my Dad. Age wise? I'm the middle of all of them. My 3 brothers weren't there so I couldn't show them off.

Will come back later for personals and workout done.

This morning was plyo legs, disc 32 (I think). It is the plyo legs without the half turn jumps. If it didn’t have the rock climbers it would be perfect. I’m so excited it is Friday. Tomorrow is the day my sister and I spend with my mom for mother’s day. We go shopping most of the day and then somewhere to eat.

Janie What a nice picture! Might I say that you look awesome. I can totally see those workouts paying off in your physique. You definitely do not look your age.

Have a great day!
 
Today I got up early to do 30/30. Whew I love this DVD as you all know. Couldn't stay in bed for some reason. hmmm. Too cold out at the beach today, only in the 40's and foggy. Brrrrrrrrrrrr Joey is going to bring back all of Cathe's DVD's this time while he goes to Shelton and pick up stuff to build our two sheds here at the BH. He should be back Sun.


I signed up for the South Beach Arts Association yesterday and am now officially a member. It's only $20.00 a year.

What I get for the money is: Be able to rent a fully equipped building for teaching classes or workshops, Keep profits from the classes I might teach, Receive help in publicizing an art class, Gain visibility on the SBAA website as a featured artist, Build a greater awareness of the arts in our community, Be eligible to display my arts in the SBAA gallery, Receive discounts at SBBA sponsored events/classes/workshops, pay reduced fees as a vendor in weekly Sat. Market, receive information about upcoming local and regional arts events.

Wow! This is so worth the money. Look at all the possibilities. I just want to join a group and have friends who are interested in some of the same things as I do. I'm going to volunteer to assist anyone teaching a class.

Julie, Great job on Plyo Legs, disc 32. O yeah, those rock climbers are so challenging aren't they? Thank you for your comment on my photo. It was taken last year and I've gained 8 # since then. I'm truly working on it though. Do have a wonderful day tomorrow with your Mom and sister enjoying Mother's day celebration. HAVE FUN!

Pam, Joey said when he got to Shelton that there were two beautifully decorated plates from you! Two? OMG! (happy happy dance) I can't wait for Joey to get back here on Sun. and show me the plates. OMG!

Take care ladies,

Janie

Janie Good work on your walk on the beach with Rolly. Nice that Joey brought back your Cathe for you.

Pam Well it is cooling down here, sending some of the heat your way. Good work on 40/20 and Core Max #1.

Julie Good job on Cycle Max Scrambled. So how is your butt doing :D?

Janie Way to go on your cold and windy walk on the beach and 30/30.

Julie Good work with Yoga Relax even with your bed trying to make you stay and STS disc 21. Meetings all day are not fun. You get out of your routine.

Janie Nice picture of you with your sisters and dad.

Julie Good job on plyo legs. Enjoy your day tomorrow with your mom and sister.

Janie Good for you to get up early and do 30/30. Hopefully it will warm up at the beach for you so you can go out for your walks. So exciting for you to belong to the South Beach Arts Association. So are you thinking of doing some teaching?

Well it has cooled down here. Monday was so hot it was close to 90 and it is only May. Tuesday I did GS Chest and Triceps, I was able to post as the evening just got away from me. Wednesday I did Step Moves, Thursday I took off and today I did Afterburn. I was a puddle of goo after that one. Today was a day off for me so I got all of the housework down. Tomorrow is a garage sale in our complex so we will go and see what everyone is selling.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Cheryl
 
Today was a walk on the beach with Rolly, about a half hour. There are a lot of people digging up razor clams and I expect will continue for a couple more days. I would too but not prepared yet. Next year for sure. Did some gardening yesterday and today by putting up fencing around plants that the deer have been nibbling on. Also did the Quick Workout from "Core Rhythms", the dance exercise program, starter package. You get really sweaty. Was a lot of fun. Had these a long time and need to do them to justify having them. They are so much better than Schaun T. Hip Hop Abs DVD's (from what I see on You Tube and hear on the reviews).

Cheryl, Never know where this Art Assoc. will have me do, but I am open doing lots of stuff. I just want to have fun and make new friends.

Great job on Tues. GS Chest and Triceps and Wedn. SM, Thurs. rest day. And a great job on today's AB. I can see why you were a puddle of goo. LOL:D Isn't it wonderful? Enjoy your day off and the garage sale. Let us know what you bought.

Take care ladies,

Janie

Will prepare a rotation for myself a week at a time. Joey brought over all of Cath's DVD's and more. I'm so grateful! Rainy, windy and cold here at the BH. Brrr Brrrr Brrrrr.

Janie
 
Janie Good work on your walk on the beach, gardening and Core Rhythms workout. Well I got two Coach purses for $20. I can't afford a new one so this was a great find. The daughter of one of our neighbours has expensive taste and she left these behind when she moved out so her mother decided to sell them. It is rainy here today too but not so cold.

Yesterday I did GS Legs and today I did Yoga Relax. I didn't go to Lululemon to do yoga as I was having my parents and brother over for Mother's Day lunch and was a bit behind in getting things done.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Saturday I had fun shopping with my sister and mom. I didn’t buy anything except some body lotion and candles. Sunday I did disc 31, chest and back. I don’t think I got enough sleep Saturday night and my flat bench press suffered because of it. I also added on Rear Delt and Hip Thrusts work. This morning I had all intentions of working out but I woke up and my lower back on one side was sore. Not good DOMS sore but the “I better be careful how I move sore” so I decided to give it a break and rest so I hopefully I can work out tomorrow.

Janie Great job on 30/30! 40s is cold for the beach. Hope it warms up for you. The SBAA sounds like a good deal. It should definitely help you network and share your artwork plus make friends with similar interests as you. Great job on your beach walk with Rolly plus the Core Rhythms workout! Hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day.

Cheryl Great job on GS C&T, Step Moves, + Afterburn! Oh boy 90s! We could use some of that heat … not all of it but some of it. We were in the high 50s/low 60s this weekend and today. Might warm up to the 80s tomorrow. Great job on GS Legs and Yoga Relax (I love doing YR the day after an intense leg workout). Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day with your family.

Have a great day!
 
Hi ladies, I'm home and will try to get caught up on everything I missed!

Julie Great job on CM scrambled last week. Sorry for your poor butt, I hope it is not crying anymore :D The problem I have with the horizontal conditioning workouts is that they have a huge dread factor for me, which is why I haven't done one in a long time!

Janie Great job on your cold windy beach walk plus 30/30. It isn't so much fun being on the beach when it is cold and windy. I am so excited for you for your new venture with the other local artists. What a great way to network and meet new friends!

Julie Great job on YR even though your bed was calling for you to stay. Great job on STS disc 21 too!

Janie I just LOVE your photo! You all look so happy, too bad your brothers weren't there too.

Julie Great job on your plyo legs workout. I always get excited when I realize I am doing the one without the 1/2 turn jumps, but Cathe always finds a way to get you. Isn't that the one with the one leggged burpees? Those kill me!

Janie Great job getting up early and doing your favorite 30/30. I hope your nice weather returns soon so you can get back out on the beach! Wow, $20 a year is a bargain for all that you get with the SBAA. That is so cool!
Yes, I thought you needed a set of plates, one just isn't enough :D I hope you like them. I gave you some blue in your boat and also made the flip flops a little different color than the ohter one that I did.

Cheryl We are getting some of that heat, thank you! :D It is still cool today, only 66, but is supposed to be 90 on Thursday. I can't wait!Great job on GS Chest and Triceps, Step Moves, and Afterburn. My butt always kills me for days after that one !

Janie Great jobon your walk on the beach with Rolly. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun digging up razor clams. Great job on your core rhythms workout too! Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes, I hope you had a great Mother's Day. I'm so happy to hear that you have all of your Cathe workouts now.

Cheryl wow, 2 Coach purses for $20 is fantastic! The nice thing about Coach purses is that they last forever too. I've had a couple that I got at the Coach outlet store near us, but even at the outlet I only buy them when they are having a sale.
Great job on GS legs and YR. I hope you had a nice time yesterday with your family!

Julie I'm glad you had a nice time with your sister and mother on Saturday! Great job on disc 31 on Sunday and your Rear Delt and Hip Thrusts add-ons. Oh I hope that your back is ok. You were smart to rest it this morning.

We had a nice time in Savannah, it is such a beautiful town but the only workout I got was walking around town. We did do quite a bit of walking, but all at a leisurely pace. We did a lot of eating and drinking so I need to make up for that this week. We stopped on the way home yesterday and skiied, but it was really windy so it was a lot of work. I guess that was a good thing though, since it was a better workout :rolleyes: I decided to restart Cathe's April rotation since I got way off track after starting it before. I hadn't loaded it into my calendar yet before I worked out this morning and thought it was supposed to be Imax2 so that is what I did. After my workout when I loaded it in my calendar I saw that I was really supposed to do Intensity. Imax 2 was on the calendar for Saturday though, so I will just swap them. Happy Monday ladies!

Pam
 
Haven't done my exercises yet, but will later in the day. Wanted to show off Pam's beautiful plates she sent me. Wow! They are sooooooooo beautiful and will be cherished forever.

I'll be back again after I do my exercises. Thinking of Brazil Butt Lift and also Turbo Jam or Core Rhythms.

Oh! Joey bought me a bran new camera for being a mother. YaHoo!

Cheryl, Wow, that is a fantastic find! Good for you! Enjoy those Coach purses. Great job on yesterday's GS Legs and today's Yoga Relax.

Julie, Great job on Saturday's fun shopping with family, Sunday's disc 31, chest and back. Aw, I know how lack of sleep effects a workout. You made the most of it and it counts. Great job on adding Rear Delts and hip thrusts. Great job listening to your body. That's the way to go.

Pam, We sure missed you around here. It is such a void without you. I absolutely love the plates. I cried when I saw them, and they were made just for me. Thank you so very much.:)

Sighing of relief now that I have all of Cathe and more.

Walking in Savannah must have been a joy. Still counts as exercise in my eyes. LOL Sounds like you enjoyed it very much. You have to have days to step aside from our rules of eating and exercise and go out there every now and then to enjoy other things. It's not like you do it all the time. Great job on skiing exercise. Wow, you know, I've never skied in my life. I tried it once and had an instant doosh! :eek: The people with me didn't know how to teach me. We were just teens at the time. LOL. Cathe's April rotation is really a good choice. It's a challenge. Great job on IMAX2 even though it was suppose to be Intensity. LOL:D you are so funny.

Take care ladies,

Janie

Janie Awwwww, you are so sweet, I'm glad you are happy with your plates. You are so welcome! I was happy to share something with you after your beautiful necklace and earrings, sourdough starter and the dvd from you! How cool that Joey got you a camera for Mother's day!
I missed you guys too, I thought about you several times while I was gone.
Oh I can relate to some of those terrible falls when you are trying to learn to ski. It can be pretty painful....:confused: I love it now, but I am pretty cautious. My DH says I'm not pushing hard enough because I don't fall very often, but that is because I don't like to fall....:)
Great job on LIC Total Body sculpt!

This morning for me was XT disc 3 Chest, Back and Shoulders burn sets. I'm pretty sore from skiing on Sunday and I thought the pushups would kill me, but luckily there aren't very many in that one! Have a great day ladies!

Pam
 
This morning my back was feeling much better and I was able to do squat rack legs, week 3. I love, love, love that workout. So yesterday I had a little problem with my temporary cap of the tooth I had worked on a week or so ago. The dentist specifically told me to not chew anything too sticky. Did I listen? No, because I am not good at listening to instructions. So I was chewing gum yesterday morning (gum’s not sticky is it?) and off popped my temporary crown. Yep, had to go to the dentist yesterday to get it glued back on with my tail between my legs like a bad girl.

Pam Great job on Imax 2! Hey think of it this way, instead of having to dread the Jeannie hops all week, you got them out of the way early. It sounds like you had a lovely time in Savannah and got some skiing in on your way home. Those plates are so pretty! You definitely do good work on them. Great job on BS CBS! I think that one has the fewest pushups ever in a Cathe video.

Janie Great job on LIC premix Total Body Sculpt! I love the outfits Cathe and crew wear in that series. Those plates are gorgeous. I don’t know how Pam does it but they are so cute. That was such a nice gift from Joey for Mother’s Day. I think he’s a keeper!

Have a great day!
 
Today was an hour and half walk on the beach with my Rolly. A couple of hours after lunch I did a Brazil Butt Lift disc called High and Tight. It was only 16 min. long, but intense.

Went to the Art Association to meet the women there and do UFO (UnFinished Object). They all were very kind and two of them lived in North Cove by me. Seems we will be carpooling together. These are very talented and skilled people and a joy to be around. Also I'm entering my paper jewelry and soap for this Summers to sell under the Association. They only take 20% of what I sell. Can't beat that. Well see how this goes. If it's a good deal, then I'll be busy this Winter making more soap and jewelry. One step at a time.

Am also invited to a pub during Mike night (we don't drink though) that sit around passing the mike to people and listening to them sing or read poems. I've never done that before so I'm excited to see this. It's on Saturday's in the afternoon. I'm really liking this community.

Pam, I'm glad you are cautious on the skies. Great job on this mornings XT disc 3 chest, back and shoulders burn sets. Congrats on the DOM's . Glad there were not so many push ups for you, since you were sore anyways.

Julie, Glad to hear your back is better. Great job on squat rack legs, week 3. Aw not fun having to go back to the dentist because of not following instructions. Don't feel bad, we all do things like that. LOL Yep, I think I'll keep my Joey. LOL

Take care ladies,

Janie

Julie So glad to hear that your back is doing better! Great job on squat rack legs. I think I am going to have to try one of those workouts one of these days :rolleyes: That's funny, I don't think of gum as being sticky it's certainly not like eating caramels or something........:confused: I'm glad you were able to get the problem fixed so quickly. I love the way you think! I have those nasty jeannie hops behind me now! :D

Janie Great job on your hour and a half walk PLUS BBL! Wow!!! You worked hard! It sounds like your Art Association is going to be an awesome thing!!! How fun. You are going to be making great contacts and great friends from the sound of it. Very cool. You might even make some money in the process too, can't beat that! The mike night sounds interesting, I can't wait to hear about it!

This morning was Hard Strikes and Weights and Plates abs. I don't know why, but the su/pu combo at the end of Hard Strikes is always harder for me than Supercuts, even though you don't do any many :confused::rolleyes: I think the other drills must just wear me out more in this one or something. I really love the pink boxing gloves that they wear too! :D I hope everyone has a great day!

Pam
 
This morning I did Hard Strikes but only the cardio portion and I used my 1 pound gloves to kick it up a notch. I think that one is a lot of fun. I have some quad DOMS from yesterday’s squat rack legs but only my right leg. Weird. I hope that doesn’t mean my right leg is growing and my left isn’t.

Janie Great job on your 90 minute walk with Rolly—WOW!! Plus High & Tight from BBL. Hehe! I love that name High & Tight because that is exactly what I want from my backside. Sounds like you are making a lot of friends and getting your talents exposed as well. I am so excited for you that you have found that group. The sale sounds like a good deal.

Pam Great job on Hard Strikes plus Weights and Plates abs! I almost added on core work but you know me and core work to the end of HS. We are not always on the same page! I even thought about just doing the su/pu combo but it was a fleeting moment of insanity and I forgot about it quickly. I love squat rack legs but if you are not into straight heavy lifting with long rest periods, it can be boring. I am thinking the dentist told me not to chew gum as part of the sticky items to avoid. I just conveniently (or inconveniently) forgot what he said because I am addicted to gum. I’m surprised my temporary tooth held up as long as it did.

Have a great day!
 
Didn't get around to exercising today. Will do it tomorrow.

Pam, Darn, Joey isn't interested in passing the Mike at the pub. Oh well, I think it would have been fun. Great job on HS and W&P abs. I think you did very well, it isn't suppose to be easy. But you already know that. LOL

Julie, Great job on the cardio portion of HS and using 1# gloves to kick it up a notch. Congrats on the DOM's. I don't know why one leg got DOM's and not the other. Hmmmmm

Take care ladies,

Janie
