Strength in Numbers

Roxie So glad to hear you are feeling so much better! It is great when you start feeling human again! Yep, I think you are right about Cathe's definition of late fall. I guess technically it is still fall until Dec 21st, but I was hoping to have the workouts before then! QU

Cheryl I am thinking I should have started a rotation now. It sounds like it will be the end of next week at the earliest before ICE is here. Great job on XTrain Bis and Tris. I didn't want to do the short workouts either, I need the long ones this time of year more than ever!! Maybe I will find a rotation I like and just start doing it until ICE comes....

Julie I hope your all day meeting wasn't too bad!

This morning I did the original Bootcamp. I hadn't done that one in awhile and it flew by. The concert last night was fun, even though a bit cheesy. The men were pretty good sports about it, none of them really wanted to go. We were even home by 10:00, I guess that's what happens when you go to see a bunch of old men! Happy Wednesday!

Pam
 
Monday night I did weights for legs and back. Tuesday was an all-day class on change management. So exciting! I was happy that they let us out early so I got back home pretty early and was able to get a quick yoga session in before the Orkin man showed up.

Pam Great job on finishing out your rotation with Intensity! What a way to end with a bang (or a huff puff)! Sounds like you had a great time with your friends if you stayed up that late. Good for you for being lazy the next day and resting. Great job on 40/20! That is a short one but tough to do when you were not wanting to get up I am sure. Great job on Imax 2! We haven’t put up a tree in years. Too much work for so little enjoyment (at least for me). Our weather has been unseasonably warm too which I am loving!

Cheryl Great job on X10 LI, YR, and RWH PH1 + Core 1! Yuck! Wet and rainy is no fun. It does make you become a hermit though. Great job on XTrain Bis and Tris! I love rotations but usually come up with my own. I cannot fly by the seat of my pants with workouts or I wouldn’t be working out.

Roxie So sorry about the UTI. I hope they can get you something to clear it up quickly. Yea! Sounds like you are doing so much better. Yep another bah hum bug here. I used to get crazy into Christmas but now it is like let’s just do this and be done with it. Has totally lost that feeling for me in the last few years.

Janie Great job on MM! I am with you on the holidays. I used to love Christmas but now I am just wanting it to be over soon. Thankfully it is looking like my family and DH’s will be doing their Christmas get togethers the week before Christmas so it might be done early for me. I have to say I am even giving up cards. Just too much.

Have a great day!
 
Good Morning,

I am so bored I just want to go back to work or at least be able to exercise in some way.

Pam-Iam looking forward to the two workouts I have ordered but KCM is shipping hers this week.
 
Pam Hopefully it won't be too much longer until we get ICE. Good job on Bootcamp, I haven't done that one in a long time either. I am glad that you enjoyed the concert. Ha ha too funny about being home by 10pm. I know the older I get the harder it is to stay up late :rolleyes:.

Julie Good job on your weight work for legs and back. Nice that you got out of your class early so you could get your yoga in. I never seem to like the rotations that I try to come up with. Everyone else's seem to be a lot more fun and interesting.

Roxie It is easy to get bored when you can't do too much. Are you able to at least go for a walk?

This morning I did PRS #2 one of my favorites. Then I did some housework and we put up some Christmas lights.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Last night was DWP. I made it through but was starting to get a side stitch towards the end.

Pam Looks like our posts crossed yesterday. Great job on BC – original style! That one does fly. That is too funny about being home early because they were old men.

Roxie Will they let you do any stretching or light yoga? I know that isn’t much but maybe it would be something sometimes. I can only imagine how boring it would be to not be able to do anything all day for days on end. At least you will have the new videos to preview and drool over.

Cheryl Great job on PRS 2! I wouldn’t say my rotations are fun and interesting but they do keep me on a schedule which I like.

Have a great day!
 
Good Morning,

DH took me over to the lake he fished I enjoyed the sin and fredh air it was 70 here yesterday then he suggesta short walk it felt good.

Cheryl-doctor said I could walk on the treadmill but DH won't let me do anything.

Pam-yeah I can watch KCM's new workouts so I now what I am doing when I am ready.
 
Julie Great job on your weights for legs and back and yoga! You are putting me to shame with keeping up with your yoga every week! It is tempting not to put up a tree. I have a feeling the family wouldn't be too happy about that though, but of course they are not interested in helping decorate or put away any decorations anymore either. I do enjoy the tree when it is up and decorated, but it is such a hassle getting it up and taking it down! I think this Saturday will be decorating day.

Roxie Oh, sorry you are getting so bored! :( How long will it be before you can go back to work? I don't have any KCM workouts but I have heard good things about them. That is nice that you have some new workouts coming to look forward to when you can start exercising again. It's nice that you were at least able to get out and enjoy the nice weather. It sounds like your DH is a bit overprotective, huh :)

Cheryl Great job on PRS #2 and your housework. We haven't done any Christmas decorating yet, I think that will be an all day job on Saturday.

Julie Great job on DWP. Glad you were able to make it through despite the side stitch!

This morning I did X10 the X53 premix which includes the Hi/Lo, cardio circuit and fat burning circuit. I thought I had picked a different pre-mix that included step, but I guess I clicked in the wrong place :oops:. I had intended to do a pre-mix with 3 of the sections, I just ended up being surprised by the sections that I got! Have a great day!

Pam-I have at least another two weeks but I am hoping she will let me go back for half days. I think you would really like KCMs workouts she has a good variety check out coffeyfit.com
 
Julie Good work on DWP even with the side stitch.

Roxie Your husband sounds like he is a bit overprotective. At least you did get a short walk in with him, it always feels good to move.

Pam Good work on X10 X53 premix. A nice surprise when having sections you didn't think you had selected.

Today was XTrain Legs then it was a lazy day. I did go for a walk down to the post office to mail a Christmas card this afternoon after some of the rain had eased off but other than that I kinda vegged out.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did weights for legs and triceps. So happy it is Friday. This week has been crazy at work and I am ready to have a few days away from here.

Roxie Your day at the lake sounded perfect. We are having warmer temps, not near 70 but I’ll take them.

Pam Great job on X53! What a nice surprise. Although that would have thrown my whole game off and I wouldn’t have been able to concentrate because I would be trying to figure out why I wasn’t doing what I thought I should be doing. I think taking down the decorations is the worst. At least when you are putting them up you have the anticipation of seeing it all done and everyone loving it.

Cheryl Great job on XT Legs! Sounds like a good day to me, a workout, a little walk, and some relaxation.

Have a great day!
 
Roxie Hang in there. I'm sure that 2 weeks sounds like forever to you right now! I will have to check out KCMs website! Not like I really need more workouts of course...! :D

Cheryl might not have every known that I had selected the wrong premix if I hadn't gotten my step out because the premix I thought I selected had the step portion. Then I just kept thinking they must be in a different order than what was listed. When we got to the third one and it wasn't step either, I realized the mistake. :rolleyes: Great job on XTrain legs. Oh my, I can't wait until I get to the point where I can veg out and not feel guilty about it. I'm thinking (hopeing?) that will come after I retire....

Julie Great job on you leg and triceps workout. I'm with you on being happy it is Friday, this has been a long week! I'm not sure if it was a nice surprise to have different segments than I thought, but as I was telling Cheryl, I couldn't remember which segments it had besides step and when it didn't start with step I just assumed the segments weren't listed in the right order on the list. When the third segment wasn't step either I was too exhausted to be thrown off my game any further!

This morning was Butts and Guts for me. The regular workout seemed like it went by really fast and then it felt like the abs dragged on forever, even though they aren't very long. Maybe it had something to do with the kittens playing with my ponytail and trying to untie my shoes the whole time..... :rolleyes::D Have a great Friday!

Pam
 
Julie good work on your weights for legs and triceps. Enjoy your weekend.

Pam it is awesome to be able to veg out. I don't miss work at all. Good job on Butts and Guts. Too cute about the kittens playing with your ponytail and shoelaces.

Friday I did RWH LIHI #2 and abs #2. Today I wasn't feeling up to a workout at all. Friday we took Tigger into the vet because he has lost weight and we wanted to have him checked out. Our worst fears were realized when we were told that he had cancer. For this particular one even if we went ahead with the operation to remove the tumor his outcome wouldn't be good. So we have decided just to have him live out the rest of his life in peace at home. We have no idea how long he has but he is still eating and doesn't seem to be in pain. We will just need to take it day by day.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Roxie good for you in walking for 30 minutes even if it was slow. It will take time to get back to where you were and each day will get better.

Today I did yoga and then in the afternoon I went for a walk to the farmers market. However on the way there I realized that they closed at 2pm so when I got there everyone was packing up. I did get some organic apples though. Next time I will go there earlier.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Still here and can't believe I'm sooooooo busy. MG! I can't wait for normal.


Take care everyone, You are on my mind a lot.

Merry Christmas to all,

Janie
 
Another crazy fast weekend. Saturday I did weights for legs and back and then groomed the dogs, ran errands (went to Walmart and about went crazy with all the people in the toy section), and did chores. Sunday I did RWH LIHI CST and Bis. Then it was pretty much being lazy other than wrapping some Christmas gifts. Still haven’t found the Christmas spirit. Although it is getting close. I came into work today and one of my direct reports got me a little Christmas tree with personalized ornaments. So sweet.

Pam Great job on B&G! How adorable that the kitties were playing with you while you were working out. The first time I did spinning right after we got Ozzie, he went nuts and tried to “catch” my feet as they spun around. It was actually quite comical.

Cheryl Great job on RWH LIHI + abs 2! Oh I’m so sorry about Tigger. I’m glad you are able to spend some more time with him and that he doesn’t appear to be in too much pain now. Hopefully you can enjoy the holidays with him and spoil him just a little more for a little while longer. Great job on yoga! Well at least you got some apples. I wish we had Farmer’s Markets near where I live. I have to travel about 30-40 miles to get to one and that just seems to contradict the whole idea somehow.

Roxie Awesome job for walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I truly believe exercise (even slow walking) can help speed recovery in our bodies.

Janie Good for you for staying busy! Keeps you active and enjoying life which is what it is all about.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on RWHLIHI #2 and abs2. I'm so sorry to hear about Tigger :( It is nice that he doesn't seem to be in pain. I think you are doing the right thing giving him the best quality of life for whatever time he has left.

Roxie Great job getting in a walk on the TM. You just have to take it one day at a time and don't overdo it!

Cheryl Great job on yoga and your walk to the Farmers market. Too bad they were closing up, but at least you got some nice apples![Q

Janie It's good to hear from you. I hope that you are busy in a good way and not getting stressed out. Find some time to relax!

Julie OMG, I hear you on the crazy fast weekend, where did it go?! Great job on legs and back and RWH LIHI CST and Bis! That Walmart trip doesn't sound like any fun at all. That is soooo sweet that someone got you such a special Christmas gift. What a thoughtful gift! Oh yes, the kittens are so cute. I have been afraid I might step on them, but they seem to be pretty good about staying away when I am doind cardio. This morning though when I took the topper off my small step the little girl climbed into the riser and laid down in there!

The weekend just flew by once again. Friday night we were going to go out, but Carl called and said he was on his way home, so we had dinner at home and hung out with him which was a nice surprise. On Saturday morning I did Tracy Stahle High Intensity Step mix, and then we went to the Farmers market and got our Christmas tree. I spent the rest of the day doing Christmas decorating, so that is mostly done now. We put the tree up on Sunday but haven't decorated it yet. Sunday was a rest day for me and I did some yard work and went to the Farmer's market to get some things for dinner. I got fresh clams and made a clam chowder that was a copy cat recipe from a place that we had it in California. It was really really good! This morning I did Hardcore Extreme Interval circuit. I hadn't done it in awhile and it was hard! My stretching has really been suffering lately because the kittens start climbing on me whenever I get down on the floor. :D It makes it interesting. Have a great day!

Pam
 
I have quit all exercise until ICE come to my doorway. I need a break from all this business, unfortunately exercise have to suffer. There simply is not enough time during the day. Oh well. It's OK, once Christmas is over. I'll get back to the swing of things. I promises. I'll keep in touch.

Pam, Great job on Tracy Stahle High Intensity Step Mix. And busy with Christmas stuff and yard work. And for doing Hardcore Extreme Interval circuit.

Julie, Great job on weights for legs and back, groomed the dogs and errands. Also for RWH LIHI CST and Bis. And Christmas stuff.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Janie glad to hear that you are busy but I hope it is in a good way.

Julie Good work on your weight work for legs and back and RWH LIHI CST and Bis. You were brave to go to Walmart on a weekend and close to Christmas too :eek:. What a nice surprise from your direct report. We are very lucky in where we live to have just about everything we need within walking distance from us. If we have to drive it usually isn't very far.

Pam Nice surprise for you about Carl going home. Good work on Tracy Stahle High Intensity Step mix and Hardcore Extreme Interval Circuit. Too cute about the kittens climbing on you when you get down on the floor to stretch.

Janie You should get ICE next week as it is on its way to NJ as of today.

Today I did XTrain Cardio Leg Blast and then did some odds and ends around the house.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did weights for legs and back. I was really struggling at first but ended up having a pretty good workout.

Pam How fun to have a surprise visit from Carl. Great job on TS HIS before getting that Christmas tree. Hey, you are half way there with getting it and putting it up. I love clam chowder. I have only made it once from scratch and it was ok. Of course it was a lightened up recipe which is why it was only ok. Great job on HCE Interval! Aw! That is the cutest thing having the kitties join you for stretching. Oscar used to lay down on my yoga mat while I tried to stretch.

Janie A break sounds good and I bet ICE will be just the thing to get you excited about exercise again.

Cheryl Great job on XT CLB! That one has such a fun vibe to me for some reason. I don’t know if I was brave or crazy to go to Wal-Mart on Saturday but we’ll go with brave. You sound like you do live in an ideal location. That is my hope for when I retire. Somewhere where this is everything you need within walking or biking distance. Oh and nice weather year round. No snow or ice!

Have a great day!
