Strength in Numbers

Cheryl As much as I would love to see a bear, I think I would be terrified to have them so close to home! I know they really don't want anything to do with people, but still :eek: Great job on AOLIH. I like that one a lot. It seems to be one of those that sneaks up on you. Nice that you were able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather without running into any bears!

Julie Great job on your leg and tricep workout! I hate it when I forget my phone. It seems crazy that we feel so naked without them when they haven't really even been around that long, but I know the feeling!

This morning was Afterburn and I can already tell that my glutes will be feeling it tomorrow. I was really out of breath by the second round, but it really flew by. I haven't done that one the normal way in a long time and I really enjoyed it. Well, despite the mountain cllimbers, spiderman climbers, zombie dragging staggered pushups, burpee jacks......:rolleyes::D On the wildlife theme, we were watching TV on the screened porch last night because it was really warm outside. There was an ambulance siren pretty close by and all of a sudden the woods behind our house exploded with barking and howling! It was crazy. After the siren died down it quieted down for the most part, but there were random howls the rest of the evening. There must have been a big pack of coyotes back there. I had never heard that before and it kinda freaked me out! Hopefully they were just moving through....I'm so glad it's Friday and next week is a short week!!! Have a great day!

Julie Way to go on on weight work for legs and triceps. I feel naked when I don't have my phone either, how times have changed. Even though I don'e use my phone a lot I like to know that I have it in case I need to use it. No not strange at all to be thinking of another workout while doing another :p. I think that you really don't like Intensity that much and would rather have done AOLIH instead :D.

Pam Black bears aren't so bad (what we have around here) but I really wouldn't like to run into a grizzly though. Good job on Afterburn and all those crazy exercises that she makes us do. I must be weird because I think it would have been cool to hear all of the howling and barking.

Today was 4DS Kickbox. After that I got all of the housework done.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Cheryl
 
Still here and to my surprise, still busy. The more friends I have the more busy I am. And I'm meeting new people a lot lately. I'm grateful they are in my life. It makes me a better person.

I see everyone is doing well and pretty much on track. I'm still exercising, but can't wait for the Ice Series, ready for something new and fresh.

Stay safe during the holidays coming up and most of all enjoy.

Jane
 
Janie Good that you are keeping busy and that you are still exercising. ICE should be here soon.

Yesterday I did LIHI Back, Shoulders and Biceps and today I did Yoga Max. We went to my brother's for dinner tonight. We leave for Vegas next Sunday so we were discussing what we want to do while we are there.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on 4DS kickbox. I love that one, except for those split leg crunches!

Janie Glad to hear you are still here. How fun to be making so many more friends. I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. I am really looking forward to ICE too, I'm thinking we will have it very soon!

Cheryl Great job on LIHI Back, Shoulders and Biceps and Yoga Max. You are a better person than me, I have been skipping the yoga workouts in this rotation. :confused: How long will you be in Vegas?

I took Saturday as my rest day and spent the day doing laundry and working in the yard. It was a gorgeous day so it was really nice to be outside. Sunday was RWH LI Hiit and I did the premix that combines 1&2. This morning was LIHI Legs and I did the premix that mixes in abs. My legs were really hurting yesterday, but I really don't know why. Mainly quads and hip flexors. They were doing quite a bit better today, but I imagine I took care of that with this mornings workout! o_O Have a great day!

Pam
 
Saturday morning I did weights for Legs & Back. After that, I did a few things around the house while DH did some cleaning. We wanted to go run errands in the afternoon but the weather had other plans. We ended up getting about 8 inches of snow from Saturday morning through early evening. We tried going out but got about 5 miles from home and decided to turn back. Complete white out. So we decided to be lazy the rest of the night and watch a Bones marathon. Sunday morning I did Burn Sets Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Biceps and more laziness for me.

Pam Great job on AB even the parts you didn’t enjoy which sound a lot like the same ones I don’t enjoy! That would be nerve racking to have coyotes so close. Can’t say I have ever seen one around my area but I have heard others talk about it. Sounds like your Saturday was much better than mine. Great job on RWH LI HiiT 1 & 2! Great job on LIHI Legs too! Hmm.. Maybe AB but delayed reaction caused the hip flexor pain? Glad they are better this morning especially with LIHI Legs.

Cheryl Great job on 4DS Kickbox! I love the cardio and leg work but not a fan of the ab work and those darn L-crunches. Great job on LIHI BSB and Yoga Max! Oh exciting that your trip is coming up. Is your brother going with you?

Janie Good for you for meeting new people and enjoying life!

Have a great day!
 
Pam We will be in Vegas for 4 days. We leave this Sunday and come back the next Thursday. The last time I was in Vegas was 1963, I think it has changed a bit :). Good work on RWH LI Hiit premix and LIHI Legs. How are your legs doing today.

Julie good job on your weight work for legs and back and your cleaning. Bummer that you got snow but it gave you a nice lazy weekend. We might get a bit of snow tonight but it won't amount to much and probably it will all be gone by late morning. My parents and brother along with us are all going down to Vegas. We do something as a family for Christmas instead of doing gifts. This year it will be a Vegas trip and also to celebrate my retirement.

This morning for me was Legs and Glutes. It has been years since I had done that one and I forgot how much I like it. Did any of you watch the clip of one of the new ICE workouts. I forgot the name of it but it looks like fun.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did weights for legs & back. I think I tensed up too much during the iso-hold pullups because my neck has been really sore ever since I finished.

Cheryl Great job on Legs & Glutes! I love the shoeless stretch. I always take my shoes off to stretch anyways but I like that they do it too. That sounds like a great idea to do something as a family rather than do gifts. I struggle every year to come up with a gift for my mom. I haven’t watched the clip yet. I need to.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on Legs & Back on Saturday. Ugh on the snow, I hate snow! We were in the twenties the last two mornings, but it is supposed to be in the 70s for Thanksgiving so I'm happy about that. You were smart to turn around and not try to brave that weather. I have never seen Bones, is it good? Great job on Burn Sets Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Biceps - that sounds like a lot! I still haven't seen a coyote around here, but one of the neighbors just posted that they have had 2 on their patio twice in the last week!

Cheryl Oh boy, you will not recognize Vegas if you haven't been there since 1963! Of course, I think you were too young to even remember what it looked like then anyway. It is definitely a feast for the senses. That will be fun going with your family. My legs are still a littl sore, but not too bad. Great job on Legs and Glutes! I did watch the Ice clip and I thought it looked good. There is going to be a new clip posted today too!

Julie Great job on legs & back. Sorry about the sore neck, I hope it is feeling better soon!

This morning was LIHI Chest, Shoulders and Triceps with all of the lovely pushups. I usually substitute overhead presses for the tricep pushups but today I did all of the tricep pushups. I also did 3 incline pushups, woo hoo! I use my weight bench for this workout and it is just too high for those inclines, so today I set up my step with one riser for that part. I still couldn't do many, but it was better than the 1/2 that I did last time! Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie good work on your weight work for legs and back. I hope your neck is doing better today.

Pam I am sure that Vegas has changed and you are right I really don't remember anything about it the first time I went :D. Good job on LIHI Chest Shoulders and Triceps. Good for you in doing all the push ups that you did. You did better than I did when I did it last week.

This morning was Kick Max. Not one of my favorite workouts and the leg conditioning drills at the end always get me. Then later on around noon I was catching up on some shows that I had PVR'd when all of a sudden Tango just started having a seizure. We rushed him to the vet to get checked out. I had never seen anything like that before and it scared the crap out of me. They took some blood for blood work and I need to get a urine sample from him tonight and bring it in tomorrow. As I was typing this the vet called to let us know that they will have a technician available Thursday for an ultrasound. Figures it happens just before we are going to go away for a couple of days. We will need to wait to see what the results of the lab work is. We may need to board him in a 24/7 animal clinic if he needs to be watched just in case he has another seizure instead of being at home and having our neighbour come in a couple of times a day to feed them. We will see what happens.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did yoga. 3 weeks in a row. It actually made my neck feel a little better so I might be becoming a convert. At least for one day a week. So happy this is the last work day this week. Probably won’t be posting again until Monday but we will see. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving so that will be busy and Friday is shopping. I might get to stop in on Saturday.

Pam Great job on LIHI CST! That is such a tough workout. That is awesome progress on the pushups. Oh my, a weight bench would be way too high for decline pushups. DH and I like Bones. I think it has a little bit of everything, drama, mystery, comedy.

Cheryl Great job on Kick Max! Oh no! Poor Tango! I hope they can figure out what is going on with him before you leave so you are not as worried.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on Kick Max. I'm not really a fan of that one either so I might swap it out when it comes around for me. That is terrible about Tango, that would really scare me too! Do they have any thoughts on what might be going on? How awful that it is right before you are leaving town too. Hopefully they will get it figured out before you go.

Julie Great job on yoga 3 weeks in a row!!! I'm very proud of you! You are a brave soul to go shopping on Black Friday. I have done it a couple of times, but I usually like to stay far away! We just might have to check out Bones, we are always looking for something to watch that we will both like. We have been watching Justified, but we are going through it so fast that we will be out of episodes before too long.

This morning was supposed to be PRS 2 for me, but I don't really like that one so I did a Mindy step workout instead. I think I need to try the PRS workouts again though, I think the main reason I didn't like them was because I didn't know them so had some trouble following. Happy Thanksgiving Julie, Janie, and Roxie if you are still with us!

Pam
 
Julie I only do yoga once a week and I do feel better after I do it too. Good for you in doing it for 3 weeks in a row.

Pam It could be one of many things that caused his seizure. We are waiting for the results from the blood work and he will have his ultrasound tomorrow. Hopefully we will know more then. Good job on your Mindy step workout. I found that the more I do the PRS workouts the more I like them because I have gotten familiar with them.

So it was Low Impact Circuit this morning. Another one where it had been a long time since I had done it. So I needed to get a urine sample from Tango to take to the vet last night. Easier said than done. So I had him up in the bedroom last night with food, water and a litter box with special litter so it doesn't soak up the urine. I closed the door and figured when I woke up in the morning I would have my sample. Nope he did not want to use the box with that weird litter :rolleyes:. So when I got up I kept him in there hoping that he would finally use it. No luck, I had my breakfast did the dishes worked out had a shower and still nothing. I called the vet and they said to bring him back and they would be able to get a sample if his bladder was full (it wasn't yesterday so they couldn't get one then). So I had to get him back to the vet where they could be the sample. He can be so stubborn so times :D. We will see how things go tomorrow and if they can give us any more information.

Have a great Thanksgiving you guys and enjoy your Black Friday shopping if you do it. We will be leaving for Vegas Sunday so I may not be able to post until we get back next Friday.

Cheryl
 
Hope everyone had a fabulous and memorable Thanksgiving.
Still busy. Along with two get-to-gethers with friends during the week, I also make my own kefir and will begin to make sourdough bread by catching the bacteria around the beach. My hubby misses it and wants it back. I let go of it because of my Gerd and the high gluten in these type of bread. But the different thing I'm doing is using all organic in hopes I too can enjoy this fabulous bread. We'll see.

Take care everyone,

Janie

PS Cheryl, I hope Tango will be alright, keep us posted. Poor thing.
 
Janie I am glad that you are keeping busy. I hope that you will be able to enjoy sourdough bread again.

So I have done Tabatacize, Upper Body Pyramid and Intensity. Tomorrow we leave for Vegas. Tango is doing well. He went in for his ultrasound on Thursday and they couldn't find anything wrong. So I guess we just need to monitor him to see if it happens again. I hope all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend and any black Friday shopping that you did :D. I will touch base with all of you after I get back.

Cheryl
 
Man can a 4 day weekend fly by. I guess that happens though when you stay busy. Wednesday night I did 30/30 and then baked some desserts. Thursday morning I did weights for legs and triceps before heading to my parents for Thanksgiving 1 in the morning through afternoon. Thanksgiving 2 was spent at DH’s family from afternoon until late evening. We didn’t get home until 11 which is way past my bedtime. Friday DH and I went shopping with my parents and sister. No crazy early times though. We started around 7:30 and finished around 3. Saturday morning I did weights for legs and back and then ran errands and did some chores until late afternoon (pre-evening). Sunday was XT BS CSTBiceps and then laundry and laziness. I am pooped from the weekend.

Pam Great job on your Mindy step workout for PRS2! We don’t live in a huge area so I think it is not that bad to go shopping on Black Friday. The one store we went to that was crazy was Best Buy.

Cheryl Great job on LIC (original)! Oh that is too adorable about Tango not liking the weird litter. Wow great job on your workouts Tabatacize, PUB, and Intensity. Have a great time in Vegas!

Janie Sounds like you are still keeping busy. You are so good with making your own items. I looked into that years ago and even bought a yogurt maker and other things but just could never find the time. Maybe one day.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on LIC. I think I have that one on the calendar tomorrow. That is funny about Tango refusing to use the weird litter, but at least he just held it. Butters would have peed somewhere else.... :mad:

Janie I'm glad to hear that you had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a very nice time at my SIL and BILs house. I hope that the organic ingredients work out for you so that you can enjoy your fabulous bread again. I just love homemade bread.

Cheryl great job on Tabatacize, Upper Body Pyramid and Intensity.! I noticed that both tabatacize and Intensity are on the calendr this week! :eek: So glad to hear that Tango is doing well. You don't want to be worrying about your babies while you are on vacation! No Black Friday shopping for me except online!

Julie I was thinking the same thing about how fast the weekend went, how did that happen?! Great job on 30/30 legs and triceps, legs and back, and ST BS CSTB! It sounds like your Black Friday shopping was fairly sane, so that is good. I hope that you found some good deals!

Hmmm. trying to remember all of my workouts! Thursday morning was AOLIH. I did the extreme cardio pre-mix and Core number 1. Friday was 4DS Kickbox, Saturday was LIHI Back, shoulders and biceps and core 1. I took Sunday as a rest day and this morning was supposed to be Legs and Glutes, but I don't have the one, so I did Great Glutes instead. It was beautiful weather here all weekend - in the 70s, so Friday afternoon we went for a 2 hour hike in the state park. Wednesday morning I went and picked up some foster kitties, so now we have a mamma cat and 2 kittens until December 10th. They are sooooo cute. We had to separate them though because the mother cat did not want to be around the babies any more! Once we separated them she became the sweetest thing, but when she was around them all she did was hiss and growl. I feel like I have been doing nothing but changing litter boxes! Have a great day, Cheryl, I hope you are having a blast in Vegas!

Pam
 
Good Afternoon,

I am still doing the weight rotation however due to surgery tomorrow I won't be able to finish it. We have had nothing but ice for the last four days its kind of depressing.
 
Last night I did weights for legs and back. It was so hard to get up this morning. I was so tired even though I don’t feel like I got terrible sleep. I think I was actually sleeping so good I didn’t want to stop.

Pam Great job on all your workouts, AOLIH Extreme + Core 1, 4DS Kickbox, LIHI BSB + Core 1, and Great Glutes! Your hike sounded lovely and much more refreshing than going shopping on Black Friday. How sweet that you are fostering some kitties. I didn’t know that cats would get tired of their kittens after a while.

Roxie Good for you for keeping up on the weight rotation. Oh no. I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Have a great day!
 
Roxie Great job on continuing with your weight rotation. I hope that your surgery is minor and that your recovery is quick! Four days of nothing but ice, yuck!

Julie Great job on your legs and back weight wo. I hated getting up yesterday and today. It was so nice having a few days with no alarm clock! A couple of people said that the mother was probably done with the kittens. I had never heard of that before either.

This morning was supposed to be Kick Max for me, but I really don't like that one so I did KPC instead. I hadn't done that one in awhile so it was fun. Have a great day!
