Strength in Numbers

Joey's birthday today, he's 73 years old. What a Guy! We ate pizza, ice cream cake. Doing High Step Challenge Advanced (super hard work, modified with some areas) and walking Rolly for 30 min. will help off set the calories I consumed today. The 4th is coming, then on the 5th, two of my sisters, a niece and my Dad will be visiting us. I'm in charge of their warm fuzzies and I have a need to enjoy "family foods" since we were kids. I'm the host and will try hard to not eat so much and eat healthy. Easier said than done, I know. The pressure of eating healthy is on. :eek::(:eek:


Update: I'm trying the same web host on their free hosting. The layout on this host is incredibly nice looking, and I'm brain storming ideas to make it work for me. The Web Store holds only 5 items. I can use the Gallery for my members to purchase more items if they contact me. I know that for me this has been a roller coaster, but I do love puzzles and I'm determined to have a workable web site. So far my photos have not intermittently disappeared. I'm still testing things and hoping for a workable site. Will see how this goes. I'll keep working it out until something works.:rolleyes:

Julie, Great job on KP&C. Tomorrow is my Clean Max day too. Got to get the house ready for company. Aw, what a honey you have to help you clean the house. He deserves a (((((hug))))). Yeah! The root canal is almost behind you. I bet you can hardly wait to get the OK and be finished with it once and for all.:)

Cheryl, Happy belated Canada Day! I bet you looked fabulous on that day with your hair dyed and cut. What a great way to celebrate everyone's birthday and Canada Day all at once. Aw, that is do sad that your brother's cat had to be put down. It so reminds me of how it felt when I had to put down my little Molly.:( Great job on BC and congratulations on burning lots of calories. I'm frightened for my Joey, I can't help it.

JanieGood for you that you keep Rolly on shape and any other dog that comes to join you guys.One hour is a good time:D I think some dogs are easy than others to train Sam was kind of easy, better than the others dogs we had before, when we all are watching a movie in the living room before we used to leave the door close for him but now we just told him to stay and he sits right at the door and just watch us from there, he sits, stay, not always but hes getting there oh and when DH is around he is the best dog in the whole wide world:p;) OH I don't think there is any toy that Sam can have and not eat we had buy big, hard toys but some how he ends up destroying them so we just don't give him any more the toys end up in hes belly too:confused::rolleyes: .... Did you see that Cathe say she is not putting a July rotation because of her being sooo busy! I saw it on FB.

Pam I hope you are having a ball:p what a fun week! roller coasters, dance lessons, the family, food, wine, OMG have fun when you get back you have to tell us all about it, and of course if you can take pictures:p Good choice Imax3 getting you ready for you long week, good that you had time to ski too.

Julie Well, I'm glad that your root canal is over, you are in your active recovery week, and having a party this week good for you....Just keep looking for me last night I bake my protein brownies again and they are delicious DH wasn't home when I baked them the first time I did save 3 slices for him and I got the thumbs up from him so I did it again and yes I think I got them right that one is for my "bakery":p;):D


Janie I really, really hope that Mr Joey feels better after the skin cancer surgery. 6 times a year??? That's alright to leave the risers off and use the topper only. You did good:D Happy Birthday to Mr Joey!! 73 wow!!! My mom is 75.. Sounds like a fun day cake, ice cream, good for you guys, now time to go burn some calories hahaha!!!! Hope your website get to work for you.

Cheryl Sounds like you did have a busy week, weekend, but I bet you are looking good with the hair cut and all that stuff, I need to get a hair cut too but I haven't I don't feel like spending a lot of money around 40-45 dollars when I was getting hair cuts back at home for 5 dollars a friend of mine use do all of us hairs she didn't charge a lot and my hair liked her too it used to grow really fast.. I missed her:( then I found a place for 25 but is not local and Saturday we drove to this place and they were booked:mad: So sorry about your brother cat I didn't know that cats can get cancer:(


Well the weekend went by and I didn't get to post, DH got home Friday I cook stuffed turkey in the oven with salad, brown rice, fried black beans, I bake his favorite cake Amaretto torta that one never last more than 2 rounds its sooo good, hes not going back to the field till tomorrow so he gets to sleep in his warm bed one more night, then he'll be freezing in the field and this week we supposed to get lots of rain, so cold and wet poor husband.. and the Dr app for his shoulder is until August 2th :confused::mad:
Saturday I didn't get to workout we went out to the store and didn't have time I worked out yesterday I did Athletic Step love it today I have legs... Then I have the girls at home we are suppose to clean the windows we'll see. Have a fun weekend and don't eat to too much!:eek::p;) Happy Sunday/Monday here!!!!!!
 
Janie Happy Birthday to Joey 73 years young. Good job on High Step Challenge. Enjoy your visit with your sisters and your Dad. Hopefully you get your website working soon. It sounds fustrating. Seamus was a good cat we are going to miss him.

Eunice Nice that you could get your hair cut for $5. 40 - 45 is standard here for a hair cut. The bummer is that my hairdresser is moving to Calgary for a year so now I have to find another hairdresser. It is hard when you have found someone you like to now have to find another one. Not fun for your DH to be outside in the rain, not fun at all.

Today it was yoga for me. I rode my bike again since it was nice.

Happy 4th of July you guys, Enjoy!!!!!

Cheryl
 
We ate better today. I did Power Max and then walked Rolly for 45 min. I just love that step up so much! Afterwords I decided to take photos of my new jewelry. I used a basalt message rock to put some jewelry on it. Well, I wasn't paying attention and the rock fell on my middle toe. OUCH! I think I broke it. I'm using pain pills (just 1/3 of one) and it helps a lot.

I told Joey everyone is saying Happy Birthday to him. He appreciates that.

Eunice, Oh yes, when you want a doggie to do something for someone it's always when that person is not looking. LOL I didn't see Cathe's message, but I figured she would be too busy. I'm doing the July from 2010. It's really good. I hope I can continue it with a broken toe, we'll see. Oh My! The Turkey meal sounds like heaven! You and I love to spoil our men, don't we? But your honey deserves it. Please thank him for me for serving our country for us. That's a long wait for your hubby to get his shoulder looked at. I'd be mad too. Great job on AS

Cheryl, Great job on yoga and your bike ride. Wonderful!


Have a great 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think over here is the same standard price still price for me when is time for the girls to get a haircut;) Good for you for doing yoga and riding your bike!

JanieOUCH, OUCH, that hurts I hope you didn't broke it, are you going to the Dr.? or you just going to let it heal by it self? poor toes now you have a purple toe:( Good job doing power max I haven't done it in so long so maybe I'll pick that one for one day of my rotation!! OK so I was wondering from where you got the July rotation? now I know 2010! good:p I think so we do like to spoil them DH just love all the attention.... So funny, when he got home on last Friday I told him "I got you a six pack of beer" My teenage daughter start smiling and DH say what? to her so DD say "nothing, I think she missed you, when she got back home from the store, she opened the door and call you" DH just smile from ear to ear!!!! I will let him know:D:)
Take care of those toes!!!


Well I'm back twice in one day:confused: OK so I did legs, ouch I think I'm doing soooo good I'm using heavier weight than last time I'm going to need to get me my another 35Lb for meso2 legs:p Then the girls are off so I told them that during school break we were going to clean the windows and clean the house, we did it today they did help me a lot, my back hurts now because even if I didn't wanted to clean I had to because they were soooo ready to clean :p:p So now is time to cook dinner! at least I have a clean house for a day, I know this is every day chores:mad::confused:
 
Good afternoon ladies looks like you all are having a blast this 4th of July.. there is no button for jealous hahaha!!! Anyways this morning I got up soo sore my legs are screaming a happy song to me, good I like it like that. Also I forgot to mention that yesterday I did core from P90X ab ripper it was a good change.
I just finished cardio fusion I thought I was going to die its a tough workout 1hour 20min long not to bad but when I'm getting my butt kicked it feels for ever. Oh well there was again all the drills from drill max, and low impact circuit and my favorite ever bodymax2 you got to love it.... Well I hope you guys are working hard too or not maybe just having fun but that's alright too enjoy and talk to you guys latter!!!
 
Well Sunday and Monday I did absolutely nothing as far as an actual workout goes. Sunday was filled with shopping for my family get together and getting all the food ready. We had a good time. Monday was a lazy day for me and DH. We spent the entire day lounging around watching Criminal Minds. That’s DH’s favorite TV show right now. This is my active recovery week so today I ran 3 miles. I wanted to do an ab workout too but I ran out of time. We’ll see how I feel when I get home tonight.

Cheryl Great job on Boot Camp and Yoga! That’s so sad about your brother’s cat. :( I can’t imagine having to put either of my dogs down especially after just getting the news. It’s as if he wouldn’t have had a chance to really say goodbye. Hope you were able to enjoy Canada Day and celebrating your parents’ birthdays despite missing Seamus.

Janie Happy birthday Joey!!! :eek: Sounds like you guys had a great day for his 73rd birthday. Great job on HSC, your walk with Rolly, and Power Max! I haven’t done that one in a while but if I am remembering it right it is a goodie. Ouch! Your toe looks painful. Hopefully it isn’t broken and will heal soon.

Eunice Great job on Athletic Step! I think that is a fun one to do. I bet DH can’t wait until August to get his operation so he can start getting better. Great job on legs! I love it when I can move up in weight. I just picked up 2 more dumbbells on Friday in anticipation of needing them soon. Great job on Cardio Fusion! That one is so much fun but yes it so long and so tough! I am spent by the time the Drills from Drill Max come along that I just want to call it quits but I stick it out and try to do my best. I finally found you on FB but when I clicked “Add Friend” it gave me an error message that said I couldn’t connect with this person. :confused: Weird. :confused: I did change my name to Julie Nungester Davis. Maybe if you get time you can try to friend me since for some reason FB won’t let me request you as a friend. I even had my teenage niece help me because she is on FB all day long but she couldn’t figure it out either.

Have a great Tuesday!
 
Julie I think I did find you, finally:p:p BUT there is a but, I can't see you I only can see a couple of dogs and that's it. Whats wrong with you???? You need to download pictures of your self too:D:rolleyes: Same goes for Cheryl she haven't updated any on her FB...Janie she is doing good;):D I know I don't have a job and that I do have all the time in this world:D:eek:
So glad that you are taking your active recovery week by the book... and doing ummm I don't want to say nothing, but nothing that is not in the calendar, weights, or double WO that's good too. Ohhhh I love criminal minds I started watching it I think 2-3 years ago when DH went deploy and the girls went to Texas for the summer break, I was living in 29Palms in the Desert and there is not much to do so I went to the Library and borrowed 2-3 series I was hooked love Ree smarty pants...I still do I still watching it over here even when I'd already watch some of the shows;):rolleyes:
I'll be back latter!!! I have to go workout and report back today I got up at 9:00am when DH and DD are not home I have both of the littleones sleeping with me, we get the air mattress and Rachel sleep in there and Stacy sleep with me it was cold, dark, quiet, so got to sleep in actually the girls got up even latter than me yesterday with the rain and cold after I did my workout I took them to the inside pool, so they were tired. Its almost mid-day and I still in my Pj's I have to get going I'll be back latter!!!
 
I have part of my family here and they are so lovingly demanding. They are going to stay until Friday! I'm so lucky. I'll catch up with you all then. Please have a wonderful week of health, love and exercising. LOL OH, I'm hoping one of my daughters and one of my grandson's can come join the crowd too. See ya soon!

Janie
 
Last night I did the Complete Core Premix from Core Max and I did the pushup challenge and got 41! :eek: I was extremely shocked and pleased by that number. Today I did a spinning video called Ultimate Energy. Not sure I’m feeling that energy yet. I am pretty tired! I did not get good sleep last night. Had the weirdest dream that my dogs were zombies! :confused: I have no idea where that came from.

Eunice I know I am horrible about Facebook. :eek: I only joined Facebook to be a Fan of Cathe. That’s why there isn’t anything on my account. I’ll try to get some pictures posted but I will warn you that they will probably be me with my dogs. I’m hoping having the dogs in the pictures will detract from me not being photogenic. The camera can be so unkind sometimes! DH and I love Dr. Reed too. He is our favorite because he makes us laugh at his quirkiness. Sleeping in sounds delightful. Can’t wait to see what workout you got in. :D

Janie Sounds like you are having fun with your family. Don’t worry about checking in with us or even working out while you’re enjoying the comfort of your guests. We’ll catch up later! :)

Have a great day!
 
Julie Holly Molly Guacamolly 41pushups on your toes I cannot believe it too, that's more that awesome..:D I thought that you were on your recovery week????:p Just kidding I know that that is impossible for us to take it easy, so good for you for doing abs and the spinning video, I haven't done a video yet until I get the one from Cathe, I have done spinning classes they are good some of them easy another ones pretty tough, just right before we left to come over here I went to a spinning marathon it was 4 hours spin class we had a break every hour and guys were giving us drinks or whatever we needed it was tough.:D:eek: Hahaha you are so funny I am NOT photogenic either that's why I have tons of pictures of my girls and just whatever... But I'll be waiting!!!! can you hear me I'm kind of singing that phrase:p


Janie Sounds like you are having fun with your family. We’ll catch up later! :) We will waiting here for you and Pam!

Well yesterday I did chest/should/biceps disc 5 it was good my whole entire upper body its sore and I love it I also did core. And I was happy that I did the first set of 14 pushups on my toes, the second I did 10 and 2 on my knees the third set I did 8 and 2 on my toes and the last set I did them on my toes so woohoo!!! and I stay true to my weight too..:D Today I did Lower Body Blast I don't think my legs had a blast though at the end my left leg was shaking soo much when I was doing the mat work it was kind of funny because its the first time that this happen to me, I know I like to push my self hard so I'm looking at my reflection on the TV cabinet to make sure that those legs are in a 90degree position, that hurts but that's the way to do it.
Well have a good day everyone and cant wait to hear from all of you guys!!!
 
This morning I so did not want to get out bed! When my alarm went off, I tried to convince myself it was just part of my dream and to ignore it. :( But alas, I got up anyway and did Cardio Core Circuit. I don’t think that one ever gets easier. :eek:

Janie Keep having fun with your family. We’ll all catch up when you get back here.

Eunice Great job on disc 5! Great job with all the pushups on your toes during that one too. :cool: I may have done a lot on my own this week but for some reason when they are smooshed in with all those other exercises in Meso 1, I just can’t do them all on my toes. Oh well, it is doing what you can, when you can. Great job on LBB! So are you doing 2 days of legs a week during this STS rotation? I was thinking of doing that when I do my next round but wasn’t sure how it would go. Yeah my active recovery weeks tend to be more active and less recovery. I’m working on that though. ;) 4 hours of spinning!! :eek: I think my legs would fall off if I tried that! The videos I have done are ok. I have never gone to a spin class so I can’t compare anything to that but I know Cathe’s video is going to rock and I can’t wait!! :D

Pam Hope you are having a blast at Cedar Point!

Cheryl Hope all is well with you!

Have a great Thursday!
 
JulieI was you I would had have stay on bed that's for sure:p:eek: it was funny because today I got up at 8:00 to take Sam outside then went back to bed and got up till 9:00 am... You can do that too!! I bet your body its going to appreciated but good job on CCC that's not an easy one I know!

Today I did disc 5 which is back/triceps yesterday was disc 4.... anyways is all good I also did abs medicine ball I felt like it was to short so I added coremax #1.... I know what you mean with the pushups I guess it was kind of easy because it was the opening of the program but latter on all of them were on my knees:eek: Yes I'm doing two days of legs let's see for how long, today my quads are sooo sore! my butt my legs are more sore from doing LBB than doing disc 6 legs this week.
Today DH is coming home yayay!!! I'm going to see what's for dinner and dessert he's being out in the field with the rain and cold so figure cook something warm, soupy, with a crusty sourdough bread mmmm! I think I'm getting hungry, well have a good weekend and TTYL!!!;):p:D

Pam Hope you are having a blast!!!!

Cheryl Hope all is well with you!!!!!

Janiehope to hear from you guys soon!!!
 
Janie I hope your toe is doing better. I hope that you are having fun with your family.

Eunice I know I am bad with facebook. I am not on it much so I don't update the pictures often as you can tell .:D

Julie You need those days where you do absolutely nothing. Sounds like you enjoyed your 4th of July. 41 pushups that is awesome.

Pam I hope you are enjoying your vacation.

Well I didn't get a chance to post this week because it has been so nice I have been spending time outside. My workouts have fizzled this week. I managed to get up early on Tuesday morning and do MMA Boxing but I am finding it difficult to get up. I did Circut Blast tonight and it looks like I am going to change evening workouts. It is just not happening for me in the mornings :(.

Anyway I hope to get back to regular postings. Have a great Friday everyone.

Cheryl
 
This morning I ran 4 miles. :eek: I only intended to run 3 but when I looked down at the treadmill display I was at 3.25 miles so I decided to keep going to 3.5. When I looked down again, I was over 3.5 so I just kept running until 4 miles. That kind of makes me sound like Forrest Gump a little huh? :rolleyes: I hope I can do an ab workout and some stretching when I get home. We’ll see.

Eunice Great job on Back & Triceps and Abs MB and Coremax 1. I think the Abs MB is too short too. Oh I wanted to stay in bed again today. I just have not been getting good sleep but even if I didn’t work out in the morning I would still have to get up at 5 just to go to work. I just drooled a little thinking of warm soup with crusty bread. It is summer and hot here but that sounds yummy! :p

Cheryl Great job on MMA Boxing and Circuit Blast! That’s a bummer that mornings aren’t working out for you because I know you would prefer it that way. But I guess the important thing is staying active even if that means afternoons or only a few days a week. Hope you enjoy Saturdays' bootcamp! :)

Happy Friday!
 
Well, got out of exercising for a few days. Will start again on Monday and continue with the 2010 July Rotation from Cathe. Had such a wonderful time with my family. I do plan on at least walking Rolly the whole weekend. Update on my web site: It's now open again and better than ever. Hope to see you there.

Eunice, Great job on STS disc 4 and core. Wow you are doing so good with the push ups on toes (those are not easy). Very proud of you for working so hard the way you do, . Also great job on today's' LBB.

Julie, Great job on CCC. Very Very proud of you for getting up and doing your exercises.

Eunice, I feel missed, thank you for that.:) Great job on disc 5 and ab work on the ball and your added CoreMax 1. DOM's are a good thing. You certainly worked hard to get them. ;) Awe, your honey coming home is great news. I think your dinner sounds perfect. Keep each other close.

Well I didn't get a chance to post this week because it has been so nice I have been spending time outside. My workouts have fizzled this week. I managed to get up early on Tuesday morning and do MMA Boxing but I am finding it difficult to get up. I did Circut Blast tonight and it looks like I am going to change evening workouts. It is just not happening for me in the mornings :(.

Cheryl, Thank you for asking about my toe. It's better, but when I step wrong I certainly feel it! I had the best time with my family. It just ended so soon.:( Glad to hear you are still working out the plan to exercise. It's OK, you'll soon find a time that is good for you. I've been busy with family and haven't posted regularly either. But what ever we do, let's not ever give up. OK?

Julie, Yikes, wonderful you ran 4 miles! Love the analogy of Forrest Gump. LOL!:D That's how to do it.

Have a good one everyone, see you later.

Janie
 
Walked Rolly for an hour yesterday and today. He loves it! And very tired. lol:D I made a money necklace out of (4) $1.00 bills. It's pretty cool. Decided to put it up for auction. If you might be interested in it, go to my Blog, it will tell you whats happening in detail.

Julie Way to go on your 4 mile run. I hate that mornings are not working for me especially during the summer. It is hot to try to do it in the afternoons too :mad:. It is just a bit fustrating for me since I am now putting on a belly since I haven't been working out regularly. On the good side I will be on vacation starting this Friday for a couple of weeks so I will be able to get some good workouts in.

Janie Glad you had a good time with your family. I have never broken my toe before but I heard that it can take a bit of time for it to heal. Don't try to do too much you don't want to hurt it again. Don't worry I will keep on posting, I tell myself that I will post at work but I just don't have the time.

Went to Bootcamp of Saturday and had a really good workout. Today was yoga and it was a tough one today. The class was really full too a lot of first timers.

Eunice I hope you had a great weekend.

Pam I hope you had a great vacation.

Cheryl
 
My toe hurt so badly yesterday that I thought I better stay off it today. Ouuuuuuuu. Poor Rolly.:( My Money Necklace was bid on for $30.00. Yeah! It is a most unusual necklace.

Cheryl, Great job at Bootcamp on Saturday and today's yoga.

Have a good one. I get busy like you, but instead of at work, at home. :rolleyes:

Have a good evening.
