Strength in Numbers

Pam You sure did have a busy week. I hope everything goes well for you in Tokyo. Post if you get a chance but we will understand if you don't.

This morning I did a Pilates/Yoga mix and then the Stretch Max SB segment. After that I cleaned up my workout room which was getting very messy. I can hardly wait to workout tomorrow with it so clean now.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Saturday DH and I did some cleaning at home instead of helping my mom. I figure that gave her a break and I could get some deep cleaning done. We rearranged our spare room and got a lot of items ready to take to Goodwill. Feels nice to have that done. Sunday I did Gorgeous Glute work and added on Burn Sets Chest and Shoulders. Then it was lazy day time. This morning was Supercuts!

Cheryl Great job on 4DS Bootcamp! Good job for finishing it even though it was hot. Great job on your walk too! I’m glad you had a breeze to help with the heat. Great job on 4DS Kickbox plus Garage clean max! Cleaning out the garage is no fun but you feel so good when it is done. Great job on yoga/pilates mix and SM3! Wow your whole house is going to be so clean and organized before you go back to work.

Janie Great job on your walk with Rolly! I hope your shoulder continues to get better. Keep resting it and I am sure you will be in tip top shape in no time.

Pam No worries on being MIA! Sometimes life just gets in the way. Great job on Tabatacize 1-5! Glad you made it to Tokyo safely. Have a great trip and safe travel back home.

Have a great day!
 
My daughter and grandson will be here Wed. evening, in time for dinner. They will spend the night and leave the next day. Been walking the beach with Rolly.
My shoulder still hurts a bit. Has good days and sore days. I'll put some more warmth and coolness to it tonight.
Did heavy duty gardening today for about an hour and half.
Will be planning to make a couple of gardens here at the BH. Get some plants from Shelton and plant them here. Asparagus, berries...hopefully they will survive. Should retrieve them next time I'm in Shelton. Lots of work to do, fencing digging...There are lots of tree roots everywhere.

Cheryl, Great job on Pilates/Yoga mix and Stretch Max SB segment. Also cleanmax. I like a clean workout space too. Have fun!

Julie, Great job on cleanmax. It does feel good to deep clean. Good job! Great job on Gorgeous Glute work and the addition of Burn Sets chest and shoulders and for this mornings Supercuts.

Pam, Hey, it's OK to be MIA, life has a way of being busy sometimes. Sounds like the concert was fun. Great job on whatever workout you did on Thursday. LOL You are too funny. Great job also on Friday's tabatacise 1-5 with ( I would think) an extra well deserved break). Wow, I can't believe you went to Tokyo without me! LOL Just kidding, do try and take in some sights while you are there. Have safe travels on Friday.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Julie Did ya catch the cleaning bug from me LOL. It does feel good to get rid of stuff. Good job on your GG work and Burn Sets Chest and Shoulders. Good work on Supercuts too.

Janie Enjoy your visit with your daughter and grandson on Wednesday. Good work on your walk on the beach. With your shoulder still bothering you it is best to take it easy with it. You are going to be busy too with all of your gardening.

This morning I did the cardio only portion of Hard Strikes and then I did a TRX workout. I felt good after that workout. Then I painted some molding in our kitchen. After we had to fix our ceiling because of the leak we had to put in new molding so today I got it finally painted. Tomorrow will be painting the kitchen walls to refresh them.

Cheryl
 
This morning was Gorgeous Glute work plus Burn Sets Back. I am not sure what is going on but my I have had a tickle in my throat and a slight cough the past two nights when trying to sleep. It is getting pretty annoying and I am starting to get cranky!

Janie How fun to have your daughter and grandson come visit. Your plans for the garden at the BH sound yummy. I love asparagus and berries! Be careful with your shoulder while doing all the gardening/yard work.

Cheryl Great job on HS cardio + TRX! LOL! I was a little jealous of all your cleaning so maybe that influenced me a little. Have fun painting. I am weird in that I love painting. What color are you doing?

Have a great day!
 
Rolly walked me at the beach today for about 45 min. Did some gardening (weeding) around the place. Will make more plans when, where and how to do the berry/asparagus garden when Joey gets back here to the BH on Monday. Hope to get a lot done this year. But if not it will be next year for sure.

Cheryl, Great job on cardio only of HS and then TRX workouts. Wow! Sounds like a lot of painting going on. Takes some rest periods if you think about it.

Julie, Great job on Gorgeous Glute and Burn Sets back. Hmmm, hope you are not coming down with something. Cranky is OK.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Julie Good work on your GG and Burn Sets Back work. Oh I hope you are not coming down with a summer cold. Take it easy and get plenty of sleep. We kept the color the same, it is a nice yellow just refreshed the walls as there were marks on them.

Janie Good job on your walk on the beach with Rolly. I love berries and asparagus, take it easy with your shoulder when you do your gardening. Enjoy your visit with your daughter and grandson tomorrow.

This morning I did Low Impact Challenge. That was one I hadn't done in a while. I was another puddle of sweat after it. Then it was painting the kitchen. It took more time to tape around the cupboards, ceiling, baseboards than it did to actually paint. We kept the color the same yellow that we had before just refreshed the paint.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
This morning I did Burn Sets Bis and Tris and HiiT DWP! Oh my! I had to pause a few times for extra breaks. Right before the second wave started, Cathe says “are you ready” and I see Lorraine pump her fists in the air with a big smile. I love Lorraine but at that moment I wanted to shake her, if I had the strength and energy to even do that.

Janie Great job on letting Rolly take you for a 45 minute walk on the beach! Plus doing gardening! I’m not sure if I am coming down with something or not. My ears have been itchy which is usually a sign I am getting a cold but I am fighting back. I do not want to get sick.

Cheryl Great job on LIS LIC! I hope I am not coming down with something either. If I keep repeating “I will not get sick” over and over then it has to come true, right? Tapping is the worst part about painting but unfortunately a necessary evil. I bet the yellow is lovely and helps make the kitchen feel open and warm.

Have a great day!
 
Walking with Rolly on the beach for about 30 min. Waiting for my daughter and grandson to get here. Won't be long now. I've made some special bubble soap and a huge giant contraption to make huge giant bubbles. Will take it to the beach (if not to windy) and we'll make bubble tonight. If to windy at the beach will do it in the back yard. It all brings out the kid in us. LOL Will show pictures when done.
Catching an awful cold. Yuck! I don't get many of those. I can feel this one will be a whooper.

Cheryl, Great job on LIC. Love that one! Also for painting the kitchen. Yep, I know all about taping. LOL

Julie, Must have caught your cold. I'm getting the same exact symptoms. Now though, I'm starting to sneeze and have a little runny nose. I cant tell this one will be bad. Better get the neti pot out.
Great job on Burn Sets bis and tris and Hiit DWP. Wow! I can see why you had to pause a few times. My goodness. Well done.

Take care,

Janie
 
Julie Great job on Burn Sets Bis and Tris and HiiT DWP. Too funny about wanting to shake Lorraine. I was thinking of doing this one tomorrow. I wonder if I will want to do the same thing LOL. I hope you can fight off that cold. Keep on repeating "I will not get sick".

Janie Good job on your walk on the beach with Rolly. Blowing bubbles is so much fun. Looking forward to the pictures.

This morning was Total Body Trisets Upper Body. After that I went downtown to meet up with my brother and cousin for lunch. Then it was off grocery shopping to get stocked up for the week.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Hi ladies, I have a bit of a break while the class is working on exercises so thought I would try to get caught up with you.

Cheryl The class here is almost finished, we are in the last day and just have a couple of hours left. I will be happy to get home! Great job on pilates/yoga an stretch max. I bet it felt great to get your workout room all cleaned too!

Julie I bet it was good for both you and your mom to take a break from the unpacking. Nice to get some deep cleaning done too. I love that feeling. We have some projects that we really need to tackle, but have been procrastinating so far... :rolleyes: Great job on Your GG and BS Chest and shoulders on Sunday and Supercuts on Monday!

Janie Oh, how nice that your daughter and grandson are coming to visit. I know you will have a lovely time with them. Great job on your walk on the beach with Rolly. So sorry to hear that your shoulder is giving you trouble. Mine is the same way, some days it hurts and some days it doesn't. Errrr...I hate that! Oh boy, heavy gardening is quite the workout, great job on that too! I'm not a fan of asparagus, but I could go for the berries!
Sorry about coming to Tokyo without you, I will try not to let it happen again ;) So far most of the sightseeing has been in the form of different restaurants! :confused:

Cheryl Great job on HS and your TRX workout! Don't you just love it when you feel great after your workout?! Oh wow, you are quite the busy bee with all of that painting, I bet it looks great!

Julie Great job on GG and BS back. I hope you keep that nasty cold or virus or whatever it is away! Summer colds are no fun at all (neither are winter, spring or fall colds for that matter!)

Janie How cute that Rolly walked you, they can have a way of doing that, can't they?!

Cheryl Great job on LIC. I always enjoy that one. I hate taping before painting. Hmmm....I also hate painting! :D

Julie Great job on BS bis and tris and Hiit DWP. I have never noticed Lorraine pumping her fist, but that is because I am always walking around trying to get my heart rate down and wishing that the break was longer! I think I would want to shake her if I saw that too because I am never ready when Cathe asks that!

Janie Great job on your walk with Rolly! I just love that you make a giant bubble contraption and I can't wait to see the pictures. What fun! Oh no, so sorry to hear about your cold. I hope that you recover quickly!

Cheryl Great job on TBT UB!

I hadn't really planned on working out while I was here, but the jet lag has been killing me so I have been up very early every day. The bonus is that I have been getting workouts in every morning. On Monday I did KPC, Tuesday was CCC, Wednesday was Hiit DWP and this morning was MMA Fusion. I was thinking I was about adjusted to the time change, but I slept terrible last night. We have been going out for lunch and dinner every day so I feel like I have done nothing but eat while I've been here so the workouts are a good thing. I'm sure the time change will be a big struggle again when I get home, but at least I will be home for awhile. Japan has been interesting but I'll be ready to get home to a more relaxed pace. There are just so many people here everywhere you go. The subway is just crammed for the first 2 stops every morning. People walk in and just start pushing their bodies into the crowds to make room, it's nuts. If I don't post again before I leave, have a great weekend.

Pam
 
So apparently repeating “I will not get sick” over and over does not mean you will not get sick. Yesterday afternoon my throat started to get really sore and it escalated from there. I couldn’t sleep much and when my alarm went off this morning there was no way I could get up and do Hard Strikes as planned no matter how much fun it is. So, I slept in and now I am at work debating leaving early because I am exhausted and feeling pretty icky and out of it.

Janie Great job on your 30 min. Rolly walk! I hope you had a wonderful time blowing bubbles with your daughter and grandson. Oh I am so sorry you are getting sick. I am sorry if I gave it to you. I think I also gave it to DH. I hope yours isn’t as bad as you think it will be.

Cheryl Great job on TBT UB! Sounds like you had a pretty relaxing fun day without too many errands/chores. Repeating my little mantra did not work. I guess it is not always mind over matter. Hopefully you had a better round of DWP than me. I would like to say it was my cold that make it difficult but I am not as cardio conditioned as I would like.

Pam Wow! Good for you doing all those unplanned workouts: KPC, CCC (was it PCCC or original style?), DWP, MMA Fusion – Go Turtle Spins!! I have heard how crowded Japan is. That would be quite a change from where we are used to living. I thought for a minute you were going to say if you don’t post again it is because you were squashed by the crowd! Safe travels home.

Have a great day!
 
Pam Happy to hear from you. Funny how all of your FB status updates were all from restaurants :p. Good work on your unplanned workouts. Have a safe trip home.

Julie I was hoping that your mantra would work. Sorry that you have a cold, that really sucks. I hope it doesn't get too bad and you will be back to your old self soon.

This morning I did HiiT DWP. I really like this one and I had never noticed Lorraine doing the fist pump thing when starting the second round. Well this time instead of walking around I watch and waited for Lorraine to do that. When she did I just smiled and thought about Julie cursing her :D. After that we went with my parents to Harrison Hot Springs for lunch and to spend a few hours. It was cool compared to the heat we had but it was really nice up there. It is only a couple of hours from our place but it seems like you are really away from it all.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Cheryl
 
This morning I was feeling a little better. My sore throat started to go away last night. It is still a little sore but much better. Now I have a slight cough again. :mad: I did get my Gorgeous Glute plus some additional back work in this morning. Surprisingly I was able to lift heavier this week for some of my sets. Maybe being sick is the magic bullet to weight lifting. :rolleyes:

Cheryl Great job on DWP! That was the first time I had noticed Lorraine doing the fist pump too. Crazy how many times we can do a workout and not notice something. I have never been to any hot springs before. Sounds like it was a great place to relax and worth the drive.

Janie Oh I am so sorry you’re sick! You must have gotten it real bad. Do rest up and get better soon.

Have a great day!
 
Didn't do anything for exercises. Just played on the computer and rested. Feeling a tad bit better. Here are the photos I promised.

We had so much fun!

Julie, I'm glad you are feeling better. Great job on Gorgeous Glute and some additional back work. Congrats on lifting heavier, YaHoo!

Take care,

Janie

Janie I am sorry that you are sick. I hope you feel better soon.

Julie I am glad that you are feeling better. Good work on your GG and back work. Also for being able to lift heavier. It is crazy how often we can do a workout and not notice something. I find that a lot. We didn't actually go to the hot springs. It costs a lot to get in but the drive up there was nice.

Janie Glad that you are feeling a bit better. Those are good photos. It looks like you had a lot of fun.

This morning I was feeling really tired for some reason. I don't know if it was the change in the weather, it rained today and that hasn't happened in over a month. Anyway I decided to take a day off instead of pushing it. I did get the housework done though.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Feeling a little better but still to sick to exercise. I'll start going to the beach tomorrow or Tuesday.

Cheryl, Great job on not pushing and listening your body. You did cleanmax which is a workout in itself.

Take care,

Janie
 
Saturday DH and I ran some errands, groomed the dogs, and then spent a few hours helping my parents. We hung pictures for them which doesn’t seem like much to me but I think it made my mom happy to have the pictures up. Sunday I did Gorgeous Glute work and Burn Sets Chest & Shoulders and then was quite lazy the rest of the day (although I did do laundry). This morning I did Circuit Blast Pam’s version. I did the whole thing and then added on the cardio only premix.

Janie Wow those are some ginormous bubbles! I bet your daughter and son had a blast doing that but it looks like it would be quite a workout for the arms. Good job resting up and focusing on getting better.

Cheryl Great job on cleanmax! As Janie said, that is quite a workout in itself. I hope you got to feeling better over the weekend.

Pam Hope you are recovering from your trip back from Japan!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Oh no, sorry that your chanting didn't keep you from getting sick. It sounds like you have been recovering pretty quickly at least, so that's good! I still have a bit of a nagging cough left from being sick over the 4th of July. I hate that cough that just won't go away! :mad: My CCC was the original style last week. Since I was doing it on the computer I didn't have the option to skip forward to the next section so I figured it would take too much time to search for the right spot. You are too funny with the comment about being squashed! At least being sick didn't dampen your sense of humor!

Cheryl I know, I felt like all we did last week was eat! The guy who was hosting up was determined to have us try every special Japanese fook that there is. I was so happy to get home and have a salad! Great job on Hiit DWP. I still haven't seen Lorraine's fist pump, I will have to remember to watch for it next time. The hot springs area sounds very nice!

Janie So sorry that you got so sick!! I hope you are feeling better!

Julie Great job on GG and back work! You think being sick is the magic bullet for lifting heavier huh? I think in that case I would rather be lifting lighter.....

Janie I love the photos, your bubbles are just amazing!!

Cheryl Sorry to hear you were so tired the other day, hope you are doing better now.

Janie Glad to hear that you are on the mend!

Julie Sounds like you had a busy Saturday! I can relate to your mom being happy about getting some pictures up. That is always something that we put off forever and then it often doesn't happen at all! Great job on GG and GS Ches and Shoulder. Great job on PCB too :D

Friday morning I did KPC again and then had a few hours before my flight, so I went and got breakfast and then walked to the train station to get my ticket to the airport and then took a big walk around town. The flight home wasn't too bad at all. I had a pretty good seat on the wing so there was no one in front of me and I probably slept more than I did the whole week while I was there. I got home about 7:00 Friday night and stayed up til 9:30 then slept until 8:00 Saturday morning. It was great! Saturday I didn't work out, but we went to the lake and skiied and then went to a concert that night. Sunday morning I did 4DS bootcamp plus the abs from 4DS LIS and added on 8 pikes. Yesterday was just laundry and getting the house in order. This morning I did NOT want to get out of bed. i just kept hitting the snooze so when I finally got up I didn't have a lot of time. I thought about skipping my workout, but I did 30/30 so I felt better about doing something. Now I am just tired tired tired. I can't wait to get through this day. Happy Monday!
