Strength in Numbers

No workout or post yesterday. Was a very busy day at work and then I had to leave early to get some errands done. This morning I did Get Glutes. The last few days have felt like Spring it has been so wonderful. The temp yesterday was only in the 30s but compared to what we had been having it felt wonderful. This morning we had thunderstorms and we are supposed to get rain all day and be in the high 40s.

Janie Great job on C&W! Every little bit counts and you should be proud of what you accomplish! Great job on the Tabatcise premix. I have not done cardio in a few weeks now and really need to add it back in.

Cheryl Hope you are able to get a workout in. Sometimes I wish things like grocery shopping could just happen without my doing anything so I had more time for other things.

Have a great day!
 
Janie Oh my, 3 snowstorms, I think you made the right decision to stay home. I'm sure it was disappointing missing your dad's birthday, but you can celetbrate on another day when it is safer for you to travel! Happy Valentine's day to you too, I hope you and Joey enjoyed your favorite place. It was smart to go on a less crowded night! I'm so glad that you got the book and I really hope you enjoy it! I just loved it!

Cheryl Great job on clean max and your bathroom painting! That is such a big job!

Julie Great job on XTrain legs. I haven't done that one too many times. It goes by pretty quickly with all of the different segments, but overall it's not really one of my favorite leg workouts. Great job on GG and extra back work on Sunday too.

janie Great job on your fav 30/30 and clean max!

Julie Great jobon GG! Tha tis funny about your weight. I have done that a few times too. It makes you feel a lot better when you realize the mistake, doesn't it?! You are a machine though, I have to say that 110 pounds for squats is AWESOME!! Great job!

Cheryl Great job on pushing yourself and getting in STS disc 4 when you weren't feeling like it! Great job on PRS 2 and yoga on the weekend too!

Janie Great job on C&W. 30 minutes is way better than 0 minutes! Great job on Tabatacise and core too! That is a tough tough one, so yes a great way to help you withstand longer cardio!

Julie Great job on GG! I am so happy to hear you have gotten some milder weather!

The ski trip was a little bit of a bust for me. The first day we had some good skiing but in the morning my hands were getting so cold every time we made a run that I had to go inside by 9:30 to try to warm them up. They were so cold that when they started warming up I felt like I was going to be sick or pass out. It took about 30 minutes to feel normal again. I went back out after that and skiied the rest of the day though we no problem. Then that evening after we had been inside and warmed up my left foot started burning and hurting really badly. It was all red and swollen and we figured that I had frostnip based on some research on the internet. The next day all but my big toe were ok, but I couldn't bend it and couldn't stand for it to be touched, so skiing was out. I probably could have skiied on Tuesday, but we had planned for the women to go shopping on Tuesday (the other two ladies don't ski so that was my time to spend with them). My toe is still swollen and sore but nothing like it was. It is also starting to turn black around the nail, so we're not really sure it if is cold related or if I jammed it and didn't realize it :confused::rolleyes: Oh well, we had a nice time anyway. It was really nice to come home to 73 degree weather though! It felt strange because it was 15 and snowing when we left Maine. Now I am doing laundry and getting packed to leave for Vegas tomorrow. Boo, I would rather be home for awhile. I did BM2, all but the upper body this morning and hope to get some workouts in while I'm in Vegas. Happy Thursday!

Last night it was so foggy driving home and there was a tornado warning for one of the counties nearby. Such weird weather for February. Our Spring-like weather lasted only 3 days. This morning woke up to a light dusting of snow and slick roads from the rain freezing on them overnight. I did do High Step Challenge but skipped the ab work at the end since I wanted to leave early given the roads. So happy it is Friday!!!

Pam Oh boy that trip didn’t sound like a good one. I hope you still had some fun despite the cold hands and bum foot. If I remember correctly, you are not a big fan of Vegas but I hope you find time to enjoy yourself. Have a safe trip!

Have a great day!
 
Yesterday was a 30 min. premix with High Step Challenge. Whooooo! Will be going over to the beach house tomorrow.

Cheryl, Just take care and be ready for your workout tomorrow. (hugs).

Julie, Glad to see you will be doing cardio soon. It's really important to exercise our heart as well. Great job on Get Glutes. Nice to see you guys getting warmer weather. But it's better than having to deal with snow.

Pam, I'm taking the book you gave me to the beach house with me tomorrow. I can't wait to get started on it. Sorry the weather was so cold that during skiing your hands got sooooooo cold. Yuck. And for going back out there with no problems until the symtoms of your left foot burning. I think that would make me not ski for the rest of the stay. And yet you still wanted to ski after that incident. Wow. You amaze me. Glad you went shopping with your friends. Are you kidding me? 73 degree weather. Enjoy! Great job on BM2. Enjoy Vegas while you are there. How is your toe doing?

Julie, Tornato warnning in Feb.? Wow that's weird. Do be careful out there with freezing roads and snow on top of that. Very dangerous conditions. Great job on High Step Challenge with no abs. Be careful out there and stay safe.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Did Basic Step and it was much much easier. Next time will add a riser. YaHoo! Joey is at the Beach House and I'm in Shelton.

Janie
 
Julie Great job on Get Glutes. I am happy that you are getting some Spring like weather.

Pam Wow it doesn't sound like a good time skiing. I hope that you still enjoyed your trip. Good work on BM2 and I hope that you enjoy Vegas.

Julie Are tornados normal in February? Great job on High Step Challenge.

Janie Good work on High Step Challenge and Basic Step. Enjoy your time at the beach house.

This morning I did Great Glutes. I think I will be feeling it tomorrow. After that I finish some touch ups in the bathroom and finally got the toilet tank back on the toilet and then cleaned up the mess that had been in the bedroom for a while. I may get up early and watch the gold medal hockey game tomorrow morning. It starts at 4am......we will see.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
HiiT 30/30 tonight. Have I told you how much I love that one? LOL! Whew!

Cheryl, Great job on Great Glutes. Good going on the finishing touches in the bathroom and bedroom. Yea! It's done! I'm in Shelton, Joey is at the Beach House.

Take care,

Janie
 
Julie we had tornado warnings on Friday too while I was waiting for my flight at the airport. Luckily it was a really quick moving storm and the flight was still close to being on time. Great job on High Step challenge. The trip to Maine was still nice despite my issues! I am not a big fan of Vegas, but so far things are going ok .

Janie great job on HSc premix! looks like you and Julie were on the same page. My toe is doing quite a bit better. It still hurts a little but it isn't keeping me from doing anything anymore. The only thing that really bothers it now are static lunges when I have to be up on that toe. Great job on Basic step! That is fabulous that it is getting so much easier and you are ready to add a riser! You are doing great!

Cheryl I did still enjoy the trip despite not being able to ski as much as.I was planning. We really enjoy the couple that invited us and that is usually the one time we get to see them each year. Did you get up for the hockey game? There are a lot of Canadians here at our conference and they all got up and watched the game at 4 am. Congratulations on the win, that is awesome!

Janie Great job on 30/30, I think you might have mentioned once how much you love it! ;)

My flight here was pretty uneventful other than the slight delay in Raleigh because of the thunderstorm. I got here about 5 on Friday evening, unpacked, had dinner and went to bed. Saturday I got up and did Rockout Knockout, it's nice having another good travel workout! Yesterday we set up for awhile, then had to go and celebrate national margarita day :) After that we had a team dinner at a really fun Italian restaurant. This morning I did Tabatacise. It always seems easier when I do it when I'm traveling, I think it's because of not having a step for the step portions, I'm hoping that the floors are nice and thick in the hotel and that the people below me can't hear me jumping around! I have not heard anything from above me here, so I'm optimistic. Today was the first day of the conference. It was pretty busy for awhile but things are Slowing down now and we will be finished in about an hour. I' ve been sleeping terribly so far because there have been several loud sirens outside during the night, I'm hoping for a better sleep tonight, but we will see....Happy Sunday!

Pam
 
Rest day today. Awwwwwwwwww.

Pam, Good to see you are safely at the conference. Great job on Rockout Knockout. When Joey and I were drinking we did like margaritas. Sounds like a lot of fun at the Italian restaurant. Great job on this mornings Tabatacise. Hope you get a good nights sleep with all that racket going on. Could you try some ear plugs next time? So glad your toe is better.

Take care,

Janie
 
Saturday I did XTrain Legs again. Now that I am working legs 3 times a week, I like adding this one in as a 4th leg workout. Then we ran some errands and visited my mom for a few hours. Sunday I did Get Glutes with additional back work and then did some work from home. This morning I did not workout. I had a terrible night’s sleep and I am not sure why. Other than maybe just being so excited about a whole new week of work!

Janie Great job on 30 mins of HSC! We were thinking alike that day! That’s awesome that BS is feeling easier now and that you are ready to add a riser! You have been working so hard. Great job on 30/30! Um, really, you love that one. You are so funny!

Cheryl Tornados are not normal in February. Tornados are most common in April/May and maybe September/October but not over the winter time. Great job on Great Glutes! I bet it feels so good to be done with the painting and have your bedroom and bathroom back together. Congratulations on the gold medals for hockey in men’s and women’s! That is exciting. Did you watch either game?

Pam I’m glad your flight was able to leave with the weather being so crazy. Great job on RK and Tabatacise! Hopefully you are right and the downstairs neighbors can’t hear you working out. If not, it is Vegas, do they really expect peace and quiet? I hope you get better sleep.

Have a great day!
 
Janie I hope you enjoyed your rest day! I got a much better sleep last night. I didn't hear a single siren. I did think about using ear plugs, but I was afraid that I wouldn't hear my alarm if I did! :rolleyes:

Julie Great job on XTrain legs on Saturday and GG and additional back work on Sunday. Sorry you had a bad sleep the other night, I hope that it was better last night.

I realized that I forgot to post my Friday morning workout too. I did X62 before I left on Friday morning. It really did me in, I was glad that I hadn't selected X77! I slept really well last night and am feeling much more rested today. The only problem was that I fell asleep so early that I woke up at 1:45am thinking it was time to get up. :confused: I did manage to get back to sleep for awhile though. I didn't hear any sirens last night at all, but one of my co-workers said that there were some. I guess I'm either getting used to it or was so tired I slept through them. This morning I did Hiit Pyramid and Xtrain core #1. Today we were really busy all day at the conference so the day has just flown by. I hope everyone had a good Monday.

Pam
 
Today was All Out Low Impact HiiT Whew! 39 min. of sweat fest. Loved it!

Julie, Great job on XTrain legs and errandmax. Also for doing Get Glutes with back work on Sunday and for this mornings rest. Sorry you had insomnia.

Pam, Great job on your Friday's X62. So glad you had a restful sleep night but what is this getting up at 1:45? You poor thing. Great job on this mornings HiiP Pyramid and XTrain core 1.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Janie Great work on HiiT 30/30.

Pam Yes I got up and watched the game. But I didn't get up early enough to see the first period but watched the 2nd and 3rd periods. I wished that it was a closer game to make it more exciting though. Good work on Rockout Knockout and Tabatacise. Sounds like you are having a good time in Vegas. How annoying to be woken up by sirens.

Julie Good job on XTrain Legs. You sure are giving your legs what for working them 4 days a week :D. Good work on Get Glutes and back work. Sorry that you didn't get a good nights sleep. I don't always sleep well on Sunday nights either because I am so excited to be going back to work LOL. Thanks for the congratulations on the hockey gold medals. I couldn't watch the women's game because I was at work but everyone was checking their smart phones for updates. I did get up early yesterday morning to watch the men play. I was hoping for a more exciting game though.

Pam Glad that you slept better last night. Good job on Friday's X62. Nice to be busy so the day flies by.

Janie Good job on AOLIH.

So Sunday morning I was up by 4:45am to watch the gold medal hockey game. Missed the first period but saw the other two periods. After that I did STS disc 5 back and biceps and the extended stretch. Then we went over to my brother's for lunch and then did some running around. The weekend went by so fast. I was going to try to workout this morning but I forgot to set my alarm :confused:. I woke up too late to workout but at least I woke up in time to get to work. So after work I did a timesaver premix of Rockout Knockout.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
This morning I did Get Glutes. I really felt it today and my butt is already talking back to me, in a good way. I did get better sleep last night which I think helped.

Pam Great job on X62 on Friday! I have yet to do X77 in its entirety. Maybe one day when I am feeling adventurous. Great job on DWP + core 1! So glad you got better sleep. I am glad you could go back to sleep instead of being up at 1:45 for the day. That would have made for a really long day.

Janie Great job on AOLIH! That is a good one for cardio and I always feel my legs and glutes working hard too. Sunday nights are usually bad nights for me because of starting the work week. Hopefully it gets better as the week goes on though.

Cheryl Great job on disc 5 + the extended stretch! You are such a good fan to get up that early on a Sunday to watch the game. I don’t think I could do it. Great job on RK premix!

Have a great day!
 
Janie Great job on. AOLIH, that is a fun one and it really sneaks up on you too! I didn't actually get up at 1:45, just woke up then. Last night was better, but I'm still getting up before my alarm goes off every day. I'm sure I will be all adjusted by the time it's time to go home.

Cheryl you saw the most important parts of the game at least. I was asking my friend here if he was disappointed that it wasn't more of a game and he said not :) I'm with you though, I' like them better when they are at least closer. Great kobo doing STS disc 5 after the game on Sunday, I'm not sure I would have had that much motivation! Great job on the Rockout Knockout premix too.

Julie[/]B] Great job on GG, glad to hear you were having great DOMS.

This morning I got up and did KPC. I forgot my bands this time so I don't have as many travel options. It's a good thing I only have a couple more mornings left. I hope everyone had a great day!

Pam
 
Tonight was High Step Circuit. Whew! Another good one for me.

Cheryl, Great job on STS disc 5 back and biceps and the extended stretch. Isn't it nice to have family to visit? Good for you. Great job on Timesaver premix of Rockout Knowckout. You are doing so well.

Julie, Great job on Get Glutes. I love how this workout kicks your butt. LOL;). So glad you got caught up on your sleep last night.

Pam, Just like adjusting to a new place, then after you get home have to adjust yet again. Great job on KPC.

Take care,

Janie
 
Julie Good job on Get Glutes. It is nice when your body talks back to you in a good way. It wasn't bad getting up that early, it was like a work morning. The only difference is that I could sit on the couch and drink coffee while I watched the game.

Pam Good work on KPC. Enjoy your last few days in Vegas.

Janie Good job on High Step Circuit.

Well I managed to get up early this morning and do XTrain Bis and Tris. At least I remembered to set my alarm before I went to bed last night. I am hoping that I can get up early again tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
No workout this morning. Took another rest day. It is getting cold again here and there are talks about another big snow storm over the weekend. The winter from h**l continues. Coincidentally, Spring is 3 weeks away today.

Pam Great job on KPC! Bummer about forgetting your bands. That will stink if you just get adjusted to Las Vegas time when you get ready to go home. Then you will have to take a couple of days to get adjusted to home time too.

Janie Great job on High Step Circuit!! Isn’t it great that Cathe has so many workouts to choose from on all levels and styles.

Cheryl Great job on getting up early and doing XTrain Bis/Tris! I think I could get up early every day if instead of going to work I could sit on the couch and drink coffee. Where do I sign up for that job?

Have a great day!
 
Julie You guys are getting the winter from h**l. I hope it gets better for you soon.

I didn't sleep well at all last night. I woke up around 2am and couldn't get back to sleep. So no workout for me either today. I hope I sleep well tonight.

Cheryl
 
This morning I did Get Glutes. I did it again where I loaded the barbell up 10 pounds heavier than I meant to and couldn’t figure out why it was so hard. I think my brain has frozen up with all this cold and snow.

Cheryl I am so sorry about your sleep. It is so frustrating when you can’t get back to sleep and then the more you think about it the more frustrated you get and the less likely you will fall asleep. I hope you slept better last night.

Have a great day!
