Strength in Numbers

Saturday I did Imax 2! It was so much fun until I got to the 9th interval. All those plie jacks were killer. After that it was chores and errands. Sunday was my rest/lazy day although I did have to do a little work from home. This morning I did STS Total Body Compound Only no abs.

Cheryl So glad you got your new washing machine and love it! Yes your hamstrings should definitely get a stretch going to the bottom of the drum. Being under 5 foot short, I always had to hoist myself up and let my feet hang in the air while I was upside down grabbing the clothes.

Have a great day!
 
Wow, I didn't realize I had missed so any days of checking in! Sorry about that.
Cheryl Great job on Shred cardio and push day. That is so fantastic that you loved your boudoir photos! I bet your DH will love them even more!

Julie Great job Kickmax Bootcamp challenge. Those pulsing jump lunges are killers! That is awesome that you were able to do static hangs without it bothering your abs. Hopefully you will be able to start pullup queen again soon.

Cheryl That is funny that you couldn't workout because you were out of clothes. I bet you have quite the pile of laundry waiting to be done. It sounds like you are able to do some big loads now though.

Julie Great job on Imax 2! Those pile jacks in round 9 feel like they are never going to end Great job on STS total body compound too.

On Thursday my friend Darlene and I went for a 20 mile bike ride, and then we did another 20 on Friday. Saturday morning was Rockout Knockout, then I went and picked up my 3 new foster kittens. They are soooo cute! I'm still trying to figure out names for them though. Sunday was my rest day. I was planning on doing laundry, but I got a call first thing that my mom was on a rampage so I ended up going over there to try to calm her down. I think maybe she had a bad dream or something and she was sure that someone needed her help. She was a lot calmer when I left at least. Then I had to take Spanky to the PetSmart because someone wanted to meet him. Unfortunately he wasn't adopted though. This morning was Afterburn and the abs from BM2. It's a rainy ugly day here today. I'm ready to see the sun again! Have a great day!

Julie Great job on Imax 2. The plie jacks are a killer in the 9th interval they sometimes feel like they will never end. Good job on STS Total Body Compound too. Oh wow you really get a workout getting the clothes out of the washer. I need to stand on my tippy toes to get to the bottom of the drum.

Pam Good work on your two 20 mile bike rides and Rockout Knockout. Your orange and white foster kitty reminds my of our cat Tango. Sorry to hear about your mom, but at least you could calm her down. Too bad that Spanky wasn't adopted, hopefully soon. Good work on Afterburn and the abs from BM2. It is rainy ugly here too, it just makes things a bit depressing.

So Saturday I did Supercuts since I was able to get laundry done on Friday :rolleyes:. Sunday I did yoga and then we went out to my parents for a visit. Today I did XTrain Legs. I wanted to get out this afternoon but it was raining so hard that I decided just to hang out at home. Tonight I went for dry land training and was glad that the rain had finally stopped. We worked on our rotation and core and it wasn't the gong show that it was last Monday with the fire.

Have a great day.

Cheryl Great job on Supercuts and getting laundry done :D That little orange and white kitty is the cutest thing, I’m a little worried about my DH with that one :rolleyes: Great work on yoga and XTrain legs and your dry land training. It’s good that things were a little calmer than last time.

This morning I did Cycle Sweat for the first time. All of my bike riding didn’t help me with it at all, it was hard! She sure doesn’t take many breaks in that one. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Ummm does that mean that you will have a new orange and white addition to your family ;). Great work on Cycle Sweat. You would think that all the bike riding would help but I think spinning is a lot more intense. I don't think you pedal as fast when you are just out riding compared to when you are in a spin class.

This morning was Low Impact Cardio and Metabolic Conditioning. Then I got some errands done since I didn't want to go out in the rain yesterday.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl I don't think we will have an orange and white addition to the family, I just have to keep DH away from the kittens :rolleyes:You are right that spinning is a lot more intense than bike riding. It always kills me. Great job on LIC and Metabolic conditioning. I'm with you on not wanting to go out in the rain. I was so happy to see the sun yesterday after 2 days of rain.

This morning was LIHI back, shoulders and biceps plus bonus abs 2. Now I'm getting some housework done. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Sorry I fell off the radar the last few days. I did do Pedal Power yesterday and Fit Split Legs and Glutes with some pull-up queen stuff. My work week has been awful but I am hoping it turns around by tomorrow. Ozzie has had horrible diarrhea in the house and hasn't been eating much. We called the vet and got some new medication to try with the diarrhea and I hope it kicks in soon. I think that is why he is not wanting to eat because he knows what will happen later.

Pam Great job on your 20 mile bike ride two days in a row and RK on Saturday! How fun to have 3 more fosters to take care of. I’m so sorry about your mom having a bad day. I am glad you were able to get her calmed down. Poor Spanky getting passed over. I’m sure that just means his forever family is still out there and waiting for him. Great job on AB and BM2 abs! Great job on Cycle Sweat! I can’t believe that is for the first time! That one is actually one of my least favorites for some reason. I miss the countdown clock. Great job on LIHI BSBis plus bonus abs 2. Hope you get all your housework done.

Cheryl Great job on SC and yoga! Glad you were able to get a visit in with your parents. Great job on XTrain Legs! Ugh rain should only come over night when everyone is sleeping. Great job on your dry land training and glad you could concentrate without all the commotion from a fire. Great job on LIC plus MC and your errands! Hopefully that means the rain stopped for you.

Have a great day!
 
Pam Too bad that you won't have an addition to your family. I am guessing that DH is having fun playing with the kittens. You are lucky that you have some sun. It is still raining here and it will at least until Monday :(. Good work on LIHI back, shoulders and biceps plus bonus abs 2. Have fun with your housework, I have to do that tomorrow.

Julie Great job on Pedal Power, Fit Split Legs and Glutes and PUQ. I hope that your work week gets better. Poor Ozzie, that probably is why he doesn't eat. I hope the new meds work for him. I agree that it should only rain at night. The rain hasn't stopped it just slows down sometimes. We will have rain every day until sometime next week.

This morning was XTrain Chest, Back and Shoulders. My back was feeling not too great this morning (I don't know why) so I only did 4 of the 8 rounds. It felt like it was going to go out on me. I also didn't get a good nights sleep either so that didn't help.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
This morning I had no energy or motivation. I didn’t want to do anything. I started out with Athletic Step in the DVD player but took it out before starting it. Then I put Step Moves in. I did the warm up and the first minute of combo 1 and decided that wasn’t going to work. I ended up doing MMA Boxing but skipped the core since I wasted so much time figuring out what to do. I am hoping I get my energy and mojo back tomorrow. I am taking tomorrow off work so hopefully that will help.

Cheryl Great job on what you could do for XTrain CBS and listening to your body and only doing half the workout. I hope it isn’t from your dry land training. Maybe it is from sleeping in an awkward position?

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie We all fall off the radar once in awhile so no worries, Great job on PP, FS legs and glutes and PUQ. Sorry to hear that you are having such a crappy week, in more ways than one I guess Poor Ozzie, I don't blame him not wanting too eat when his tummy is feelings bad Poor guy, I hope the new medication helps.

Cheryl Oh man, I don't think I could stand that many days of rain, that just isn't right! Great job on XTrain CBS, but sorry to hear that your back wasn't feeling good. I hope it was just a temporary thing and that it is doing better now.

Julie Oh, it sounds like you had such a lousy morning. You are quite a trooper for continuing to stick with it and get a workout in anyway when you just weren't feeling it. I hope that your day got better!

This morning I did Xtrain Cardio Leg Blast. I hadn't done it in awhile and I always like that one. I didn't end up getting much housework done yesterday. I have a girlfriend who has a homeless son and she had told me the night before that he had called her because his blanket had been stolen. I told her that I had some sleeping bags that I was planning to donate, so she called yesterday morning to see if we could meet so that she could get one. Then my other friend called to see if she could bring her grandchildren over to play with the kittens. By the time that was all done it was 4:30. Oh well, today is another day. Have a great one.

Pam
 
Julie I hear ya on not having any energy or motivation. It happen sometimes especially if you are having a crappy week. Good for you in doing something even if you didn't want to. It could have been from the dryland training since we were working core and rotation. Though it was a lot better today. Enjoy your long weekend, hopefully that will get your mojo back.

Pam Good work on XTrain Cardio Leg Blast. That must be hard for your friend to have a son who is homeless. That was nice that you had a sleeping bag that he could use. You were popular yesterday and it was probably more fun than doing housework. I hope the kids had fun playing with the kittens.

Well my back was feeling a lot better today though like Julie I had no motivation or energy to workout. I was suppose to do Cardio Shred but that seemed to difficult for my energy level this morning so I did ICE LIS #1. Later on I got a bit more energy so I did some housework.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl I don’t know how my friend does it with her son, but I think they have been through so much with him they have finally reached the point of just accepting the situation. I’m glad to hear that your back is feeling better, but bummer about no motivation. We all have those times though, hopefully it will pass. Great job doing ICE LIS anyway and getting some housework down.

My friends and I did a 25 mile bike ride this morning, I have to admit that I was hoping it would be raining when I got up so I’d have an excuse not to go, but I went and of course am glad that I did. It was supposed to be colder than it was and I was dreading that, but it wasn’t too bad at all. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Good job in doing your 25 mile bike ride even though you didn't want to do it. Sometimes it just takes getting out there and then you are glad that you did.

This morning I was so tired that I couldn't get up the energy to do a workout. It looks like my CPAP machine wasn't working properly and that is why I have been so tired. I unplugged it to reset it and I think it is working now. I will see when I wake up tomorrow morning on how I feel.

Have a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl I’m glad you figured out that your CPAP machine was not working properly and hopefully it is working now. That would certainly explain the lack of energy lately.

This morning was Crossfire plus core. This morning someone is coming over to meet the new kittens. She adopted one of my other kittens last year and I’m not sure if she is looking for another one or just wants to see them. This afternoon I have a baby shower to go to. My SIL was doing it for her DIL, but she called yes because she is really sick, so I’m helping my niece do it now. Have a great day.

Pam
 
Pam Good job on Crossfire plus core. That would be great if she adopts one of your kittens. Enjoy your baby shower. I hope your SIL is feeling better.

This morning I had a lot more energy. So I decided to do Cardio and Weights, one I haven't done in a long time. In the afternoon I went out for a walk between the rain showers.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl So glad that you had a lot more energy, hopefully that means that the CPAP was the problem. Great job on cardio and weights and your walk.

This morning for me was LIHI Chest, shoulders, and triceps. My arms are singing to me now. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Friday I did Fit Tower Advanced Total Body and then did a bunch of stuff around the house. Saturday and Sunday I decided to take the whole day off and rest up. This morning I re-started Pull Up Queen with Gorgeous Glutes. Hopefully this time I can make it through the first 4 week cycle without getting sick or any injuries.

Pam Great job on XT CLB! That is one of my favorites. That was very nice of you to give your sleeping bag to your friend’s son. That must be really hard for her but at least she still keeps in touch with him it seems. Great job on your 25 mile bike ride. Glad it turned out to be better than you thought. Great job on CF plus core! Did that lady show any interest in adopting one of your kittens? Great job on LIHI CST! I hope the song your arms are singing is a happy tune or at least on key.

Cheryl So glad your back felt better quickly! Great job on ICE LIS 1 with low motivation and energy. Glad you noticed your CPAP machine wasn’t working. I wonder how long it has been like that. Glad resetting it worked and you are getting your energy back. Great job on C&W and your walk in between the rain drops. I still struggled with motivation a little this morning. I am thinking it is the winter blues getting to me. 43 days until Spring!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on fit tower advanced and your house work, also on PUQ and GG. I definitely hope you make it through without getting sick or inured. I think Beth may be interested in a kitten when they get older. Right now they are just so playful and their personalities are just starting to show.

This morning for me was Fit Split low impact/metabolic conditioning and bonus abs. It probably wasn't the best choice the day after chest, shoulders, and triceps o_O, but I didn't cry too much. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great work on LIHI Chest, Shoulders and triceps. The CPAP was the problem but it is working fine now.

Julie Good job on Fit Tower Advanced Total Body. Good idea to take a few days off before getting back into working out. Way to go on PUQ and GG. Hopefully everything goes smoothly now for you. I think my CPAP really wasn't working that one day. It looks like a message kept on coming on to change my filter though I had already done it and it prevented my machine from ramping up properly. It is working fine now. It could be the winter blues. I am going through the same thing with having so much rain here. It makes it really hard to get outside. I am really looking forward to spring too, let the countdown begin :).

Pam Good job on Fit Split Low Impact/Metabolic Conditioning and bonus abs. I bet your arms will feel it tomorrow.

Sunday I did Yoga Relax and then did pretty much nothing for the rest of the day. I did have a nap in the afternoon since the weather wasn't too nice out. This morning I did ICE LIS and Fit Split Legs and Glutes. In the afternoon I went out for a walk since it wasn't raining out. Tonight was dry land training and it was a total body workout.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
This morning was XTrain Bis and Tris and STS No Equipment Abs. Then it was a bit of housework and some errands.

Have a great day.
