Whoops. No post Friday. I remember being super busy at work so I must have forgotten or not had time to get my post done. This weekend, we had our first fabulous weather of the year. It was in the upper 70s. Perfect for having a cookout at my mom’s with my family. I did do a heavy leg and back workout of my own on Saturday morning. Sunday was Live Step HiiT. It had some upper body weight work at the end but it was pretty light. The core work was killer because my abs were sore from doing negative pullups the day before.
Janie Great job on your stationary bike ride for 20 min. Great job on 30/30! Sometimes you gotta listen to your body and do what it wants. That is so wonderful that you played at the retirement home. I am sure they loved it. Great job on MM and your beach walk with the pups!
Cheryl Great job on 4DS Higher Intensity step! I think I have only done that once. I remember the 4DS step routines being a little tricky for me to get. Great job on AOLIH and finishing up the housework. Great job on disc 30 and your long walk! Gardening can be a workout.
Have a great day!

Janie Good job on your walk on the beach with Rolly and Lefty. I bet they both wanted to go their own direction didn't they 
.
Julie I am happy that you are finally getting some good weather. Good work on your heavy leg and back workout and Live Step HiiT.
Today I was stiff and sore so I decided to do yoga. Both my right shoulder and hip hurt and my left forearm ached a bit. I think it was from doing meso 3 and probably lifting a little heavier than I should. I may not finish up the last two weeks, I will see how I feel. Today was so hot here, it almost got up to 90. That is crazy for April. I did a bit of gardening and had sweat dripping off of me when I was done yuck.
Have a great day everyone.

Today I simply didn't have time enough for a workout. I was doing something constantly. Wow!
Julie, I sure do understand not having time to post! It's always so nice to be with family. Wish I could be with my family more often. Great job on a heavy leg and back workout. I sometimes like the "on my own" workouts. Good for you. Also for doing Live Step Hiit.
Cheryl, Great job on yoga today. It's OK to change the workouts. Especially when you over do it. You are smart staying safe. Hot here too, I think it might have gotten close to 80's. Yesterday was 84. Unreal!!!!!!! Yes, had to fight the dogs all through the walk. I'll get them on a two leash, but will connect it so I only have one leash to handle. It will be better. LOL
Take care everyone,
Janie

Last night I did Live Lift It HiiT It Legs! It was fun but different from the DVD. I don’t know if she got messed up or if this was done on purpose but the DVD is weights followed by cardio but the live version was cardio followed by weights. The moves still mimicked each other as best they could but the order was different. It was still a great workout but not what I expected so I surprised.
Cheryl So sorry you were having some stiffness and soreness. Yoga sounded like just the thing for that. Wow 90 for April is really hot! We got above 80 on Sunday but are pretty much back to upper 60s now. Meso 3 is hard not just because of the heavy weight but also because it can be pretty boring with the weight workouts being the same from week to week just one less rep.
Janie No worries on not working out. You were staying busy and being productive. I am pretty lucky to live fairly close to my family which is nice for getting together. I had a coupler leash that I used when I took my two dogs for a walk. It was nice only having one leash in my hand to worry about. Something like this.
Have a great day!

Today was a really busy day too, but I knew I couldn't get away with not working out twice in a row. So I did a 30/30, short and fast. I will work on Full body weights tomorrow.
Julie, Great job on Live Lift It HiiT It Legs. Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm sure the order was OK. Have to trust our guru. LOL I'm going to Amazon right now to order a coupler leash. That is exactly what I need. Thankyou!
Take care,

Last night was yoga. I think I needed it after Lift It HiiT It Legs Live. I had some nice glute DOMS from that workout.
Janie Great job on fitting in 30/30 with such a busy day! That’s what is great about those short but intense workouts. You get a great workout in a short time.
Have a great day!

Janie Being busy is OK, life gets in the way of working out sometimes.
Julie Great job on Lift It HiiT It Legs. I think I got a bit bored with meso 3 and the same workouts being the same but for one less rep. I think I do better with a workout like what was in meso 2.
Janie Way to go in doing 30/30. Sometimes a short and fast workout is what you need.
Julie Good work on yoga and having some nice glute DOMS.
Janie Good job in getting in your 45 minutes total body free weights.
So yesterday I did Lean Legs and Abs and dragon boating in the evening. That is why I didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I got in late and was too tired to sit in front of the computer. This morning I did RWH Upper Body Circuit. I think I had only done that one once or twice before and I really enjoyed it. Then I was going to go dragon boating again tonight but Taylis our 16 year old cat started acting strange after he came in from outside. He just laid on the floor breathing really fast and could hardly walk. We got a vet appointment for 5:30 tonight to get him checked out. He may have just been suffering from the heat as it is really hot out again today but w wanted to be sure. They took some blood so we will find out tomorrow if there is anything else going on with him.
Have a great day everyone.

Last night was Live Upper Body with Ball. It was good but too little back work. I added in assisted pullups to remedy that. There was also so much core work. I am not a fan of core work but there were 3 rounds of 5 exercises for core. Almost 18 minutes of core work. I would have rather she put in a back section and take out a few core exercises. Oh well, it was still fun as most of the lives have been.
Janie Great job on your free weights workout!
Cheryl Great job on LLA and dragon boating and then RWH CUB in the morning! After all that rowing, you are champ to do upper body the next day! Oh poor Taylis. I hope it was just the heat and nothing serious.
Have a great day!

Julie Good job on Live Upper Body with Ball and your assisted pull ups. 18 minutes is a lot of time to spend on core especially when you don't like working your core.
So today I did PRS #1 then I got all of the housework and laundry done. I am getting highlights done tomorrow which will take several hours to do. So the vet called with the results of Talyis's blood work. Everything is fine except that he is in the beginning stages of kidney disease. He is already on the proper food so we just need to make sure that he is still eating and drinking as kidney disease can suppress their appetite.
Have a great day everyone.

Hauling leaves, 50lb. dirt and gardening, raking. I think this is called a workout! Went jamming as we do every Thursday. Tomorrow is singing and play guitar at the retirement center.
Cheryl, Great job on Lean Legs and Abs and dragon boating. Fun! And for this morning RWH Upper Body Circuit. Hope everything good for Taylis. Poor thing.
Julie, Great jobon Live Upper Body with Ball. Good for adding assisted pull ups to add more back work. Maybe next time she will add more back work and less core.
Cheryl, Great job on PRS #1, housework and laundry done. Whew! Oh, so sorry to hear about Talyis's beiginning stage of kidney disease. Ugh...
Take care everyone,

Last night I did Live CrossFire Express! This is the second time I have done this workout. It is a really great short but intense workout. So happy it is the weekend. We had a few storms yesterday but it is looking like it is going to be nice for the weekend!
Cheryl Great job on PRS1! Well I guess that is good news that they didn’t find anything that you are already not working on with Taylis. Hope the poor little guy is feeling better.
Janie Great job on your outside workout! That definitely counts as a workout. Have fun playing at the retirement center!

Speed walked the beach by walking as fast as I could for 30 seconds, then regular walking for 90 sec. Did this 8 times. Whew! So good for me!
Julie, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Julie, Happy Birthday to you. And many more...
Great job on CFE. Glad the storms are passed, have a good weekend.

Janie Way to go on your speed walk on the beach today.
Today I did Great Glutes and then went and got my hair highlighted and cut. Then this afternoon I caught up with a few shows that I PVR'd and then made some cherry squares.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Janie Great job on Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox. Cherry squares have like a shortbread base and then a middle layer with eggs, cherries, brown sugar and coconut and then icing on top. I can't eat them but my husband loves them.
This morning it was Yoga Max and then our neighbour changed our tires from winter to summer. Another reason why I made the cherry squares and some chocolate chunk cookies. His payment is baking. In the afternoon we went over to my parents. We cut the lawn (something I haven't done in about 35 years) for them as my dad isn't doing very well and can't do it anymore. He has prostate and bone cancer and is in a lot of pain right now so he is unable to do much. It is also our wedding anniversary tomorrow so they also had dinner for us.
Have a great day everyone.

No workouts for me this weekend. Friday night DH and I knew something was wrong with Maggie. She hadn’t been wanting to eat the last couple of days and was stumbling. We pretty much knew what we were going to have to do. We got very little sleep Friday night as we hugged her and tried to let her know how much we loved her. Saturday we took her to vet and they said the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. They told us we could take her home and sustain her for a little while. Given how quickly she was deteriorating, we did not want to take a chance that she suffered even one day. It was a very difficult decision but we decided it was time to say goodbye. They helped me get an ink print of her paw and cut some hair from her nape of her neck where I always snuggled her. Then we said our goodbyes and I held her head in my arms while she passed peacefully. Needless to say, DH and I were pretty much useless the rest of the weekend. We were both exhausted physically and emotionally. I am not sure I am much better today but I am going to try to get back to some type of normalcy.
Janie Great job on your speedy interval beach walk! Thank you for the birthday wishes. Great job on RSK! Modifications are wonderful.
Cheryl Great job on Great Glutes! Thank you for the birthday wishes. Cherry squares sound delicious. Great job on dragon boating. How fun to see such beautiful animals. Great job on Yoga Max! So sorry about your dad. That was nice of you to mow his grass for him. I’m glad you were able to have a nice dinner with them. Hope you had a wonderful anniversary!
Have a great day!

Julie I am so sorry to hear about Maggie. It is such a difficult decision to make but you don't want them to suffer anymore. It will take a while to get back to normalcy but they will never be forgotten.
This morning I did RWH LIHI Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. I was so sore from lifting tires and mowing the lawn yesterday that it made this workout even harder. I haven't hurt this much in a long time.
