Pam Good job on Cardio Kicks, it is a fun one.
Janie Way to go on your gardening and walking.
Janie Way to go on your gardening and walking.
Lots of gardening and walking today.
So today for me it was Burn Sets Bis and Tris and Core #1. Another nice day but it looks like rain for the weekend and of course it is a long weekend for us here. It will be nice again for Tuesday since it will be the first day back to work.

This week has just been too crazy work wise and weather wise. I did do Get Glutes last night. I am so looking forward to the weekend and hoping next week is better. This week our weather has been cold for mid-May, around the 50s so I am hoping next week we start to creep back into the 70s again.
Pam Great job on Legs & Glutes! LOL about the screaming … been there myself! Great job on Cardio Kicks! Just when I start to think no cardio is ok, there you go doing one that makes me want to break out the dvd.
Janie Great job on disc 5 plus your long walk on the beach! Sounds like you have been having great weather to go for walks and do some gardening.
Cheryl I hate when I lose my post. So glad you have been having beautiful weather. I would rather be out in the weather too than at the computer. Great job on BS CBS, RK, and BS BT+Core 1! Isn’t that how it works, nice weather during the workweek and then horrible weather on the weekend. I hope that it doesn’t happen and that you can enjoy some wonderful weather this long weekend!
Have a great weekend!

Janie Great job on your gardening and walking. We got two truckloads of mulch delivered this week, so I would say there is some gardening in my future.....
Cheryl Great job on BS Bis and Tris and Core 1. Oh man, isn't that annoying when the weather is beautiful during the week and ugly on the weekend?! I hate that.
Julie Great job on GG, I hope things settle down for you at work next week! I hope your weather gets nicer for the weekend. Sorry about making you miss cardio again. From now on I'll just do boring monotonous cardio workouts so that you won't miss them..... or maybe not! I know you just want to see the guys come up front in cardio kicks, so you can just put the dvd in and fast forward and watch that part!
This morning for me was Power Hour. I was really weak this morning and couldn't get through all of the triceps I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Rolly and I walked the beach for an hour. I did STS disc 6 legs. I will redo this week like I did the first week. Just feel like I need it.
Cheryl, Great job on Burn Sets Bis and Tris and Core 1.
Julie, Great job on Get Glutes. I hope your next week will be better as well. You deserve a little break.
Pam, Great job on Power Hour. Hmmmm hope you get your strength back. Are you over training maybe?
Take care all,
Janie

Walked the beach with Rolly for about an hour and a half. Continued playing Pipeline and Boogie Woogie. My guitar lesson with Ralph was really good. Homework is to learn the chords A, D, and E and try to do them one right after the other and mix them up. It's So Hard! And my fingers are sooooo sore. But believe it or not, I love it. As soon as my fingers stop hurting and form calluses, I think I will do a better job. It will take a long time.
Doing some doodle art too.

Janie Great job on your beach walk with Rolly and STS disc 6. I don't think I'm over training, I think it was just a weak day. Plus I haven't been doing enough heavy upper body work. Thanks to inspiration from you and my DH though, I'm going to do another STS round.
Janie Great job on another long walk with Rolly. Very cool about your guitar lesson, I have no doubt you will master those A, D and E chords. I didn't think about guitar playing hurting your fingers, but it makes sense.
This was a busy weekend. I didn't work out Saturday because Carl was running in the state finals in Greensboro so we went to see him run. He did really well and his team came in second overall so he was pretty happy. I spent Sunday spreading mulch and decided that was the only workout I needed for the day. We had 40 yards delivered and I got through about 10 yards worth. That was all that my back could handle. Between loading up the wheelbarrow, dragging it around and spreading it, I'd say I got a pretty good workout in. My back was LOVING the stretching after XTrain cardio leg blast this morning. The stretches at the end of that one all seemed to hit just the right spots today! Happy Monday!

I can’t believe it is Monday already! Saturday I did Get Glutes and then DH and I put together my new power rack. I will try to take some pictures of my new weight room and post them for everyone to see. Sunday I did another Get Glutes and then was lazy the rest of the day.
Pam Great job on Power Hour! You know me too well that I love the guys in Cardio Kicks. Congrats to Carl and his team. Wow you had quite the workout on Sunday. Great job on getting CLB in after such a tough day on Sunday. At least you are a quarter of the way done with the yard.
Janie Great job on your walk and disc 6! I love your plan of listening to your body and repeating the weeks. I am hoping for callused hands for you so you can continue to play with ease!
Have a great day!

STS disc 4, chest, shoulders and biceps. Also Rolly and I walked the beach for over an hour. And met some really nice folks.
Pam, Today I played the guitar only 10 min. my fingers hurt so much. Grateful for the nylon strings instead of the original steel strings. Yea! I'm glad you will be doing another round of STS. Can't get better than that. Also I'm glad it's not over training. Having those days are normal I think. Aw so cool Carl and his team got 2nd place! Thinking you are right about gardening on Sunday and using that as your workout. It's HARD sometimes. LOL And for doing XTrain cardio the next day with stretches at the end.
Julie, Good going on Sat. Get Glutes and putting together with hubby the power rack. Will love to see the photos when you are ready. Also for doing Get Glutes on Sun. Thank you for hoping for my to come callused fingers. I need them like I said to play for longer periods of time. I can feel them coming!
Take care everyone,

Julie I couldn't believe how fast the weekend went either. The good news for me though is that I'm only working 3 days this week because we are going to Charleston on Thursday morning. Great job on GG Saturday and Sunday, I can't wait to see your new weight room!
Janie Great job on disc 4 and your long walk with Rolly. How nice to meet some new people. Oh my goodness, I can't imagine trying to play with steel strings. My fingers hurt just thinking about it.
This morning for me was Pyramid Upper Body. I saved the abs to do after work though, hoping to be stronger I hope everyone has a great day!

Cheryl Hope your first day back after the long weekend wasn't too tough! I'm looking forward to our long weekend this weekend.
This morning I did Tabatacise. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to workout before we leave for Charleston and I wanted to do a toughie. It really did me in today. I always wear a jog bra and then another workout top and I got so overheated I had to take the workout top off and finish in just the jog bra! Of course I had the tomato red face for awhile too! We'll be gone until Monday and I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to post, so if I don't, I hope you all have a good rest of the week and weekend!

Was going to try to post my pictures of my weight room yesterday but the server was down when I tried and then I got tied up at work. The pictures are not the best so I am also including a link to the what the power rack looks like from the website where I bought it. I did Get Glutes yesterday.
Janie Great job on disc 4 plus your beach walk with Rolly!
Pam Great job on PUB! How exciting that today is your Friday! Great job on Tabatacise and your tomato-red face. Enjoy your vacation!
Have a great day!

I couldn't get on Cathe's site last night. Hmmmm Went to the beach to harvest some razor clams. Got my limit of 15.
When we were young Mom and Dad always took us out camping and one of the things we did was harvest butter clams. We steamed them and ate them with butter. So I prepared these clams as well the same way. These clams are so much larger! They were rubbery and I couldn't stomach the innards. Not that it was awful just couldn't get it past my mouth. Went to an art meeting and told them my story and (friendly friends) laughed (I did too) because that was not how to prepare them. LOL Got all kinds of eek, ug, yuck responses. LOL They told me what to do for the next time and it sounds soooooo much better. Will try it again tonight
Pam, Great job on Pyramid Upper Body. And your trip to Charleston on Thursday. And for this mornings Tabatacise. It sounds like a horrible fantastic workout. Love the beet red face! You have a wonderful weekend in Charlston and catch you when you get back.
Julie, Great job on Get Glutes yesterday. I'll look at the link now. OMG! I love your Power Rack and your weight room. You guys did such a fantastic job.

I did Get Glutes yesterday. Set some personal records. Did a full squat 7 reps @ 110# and bench press 85# for 12. Not sure where all that strength and energy came from.
Janie LOL about the clams! Hey it was worth trying and at least they were free. Great job on your walk with Rolly and for doing 15 minutes more of playing guitar! You are so getting there.
Have a wonderful long, holiday weekend!

Today was a rest day for me. Been thinking for me I'd like to change it up a bit and do some other DVD's other than Cathe so I can use more of my DVD's. I'm not giving up, nothing like that, just feel the need to use other DVD's I've purchased and some I've never opened up yet. Yikes! I love dance, so I'll be doing Ab core (the two ball room women teach it), Brazil Butt lift and Latin dance cardios. I need to do this.

Janie There was something going on with Cathe's site one day last week. I think I saw a notice from them that they were working on an issue. Luckily they got it fixed! That is a funny story about your razor clams. How are you supposed to prepare them? I think I would have done the same thing you did! Great job on your long walk on the beach, STS disc 5 AND 15more minutes on the guitar!! You are getting there!
Julie Great job on GG and setting personal records! Wow wow wow is all I can say. I struggle with 30 pounds for bench presses!!!!! That is amazing! It seems to really be paying off not doing the cardio.
Janie Great job on your beach walk and disc 6! I think it's always a good thing to change up your workouts. It's good to enjoy some of those other discs that you have invested in. I like to do that when I am doing STS also. Your plans sound like they will be a lot of fun! Sorry for the echos, I guess I wasn't the only one off enjoying the long weekend. Great job on your walk with Rolly and Taco, what a great name! Great job on Bum bum too, I just love the name of that one!
We had a great time in Charleston with DHs two brothers and their wives. There were no workouts, except for walking around town and lots of eating and drinking, but the good news is that I maintained my weight Eric left Sunday morning for his 4201 mile bike ride. He was so excited! We made a giant banner that we held up on the side of the road as they rode off. Hopefully he is just as excited after a few long days on the bike! On Sunday afternoon we went to one of the plantations and did a self guided swamp tour. It was so cool because the birds were nesting and there were certain trees that were just loaded with birds nests full of baby birds. They were blue herons, green herons and egrets, so they were large nests and large babies. We also watched a mother duck run an alligator away from her babies which was pretty exciting. When we got home yesterday afternoon we spent a couple of hours spreading some more of our mulch, so I got a little workout in that way. This morning I did Cardio and weights, one I haven't done in forever. Another 3 day week for me, I think I could get used to this Happy Tuesday!
Pam
P.S. i just saw that Cathe is filming 7 new DVDs!!! Ripped with Hiit YIPPEE! Happy Tuesday indeed!

Taco is my daughters part pug and Chihuahua mix with a bad hip. Poor little guy. We walked the beach for a good 45 min. today. Taco loves walking the beach and it doesn't seem too bad on him. We need to get him to loose some weight. I'm soooooo excited about the Cathe's new DVD's, I can't wait!
Pam, Sounds like a wonderful time with friends and family. So cool about Eric's giant banner. Ooooo a swamp tour, how cool! Wished for sure I was there for that. Good going coming home and spreading mulch. Great job on Cardio and Weights (love that one).
