Strength in Numbers

Cheryl Sounds like you had a productive weekend. Much more productive than mine. Glad you were able to do a video chat with your family. Great job on Plyo HiiT 1 plus bonus abs!

This morning I did a Get Lean workout and a hike in the Swiss Alps! Sheba has to go in to the vet today. She has had elevated liver enzymes on two blood workups over the last two months. They want to do an ultrasound of her liver and if that is clear than she goes back in two weeks to test for Cushing's. I couldn't feed her this morning and it was easier to just not feed all 4. Now they are sitting here looking at me working with a face that says "I think you forgot something"!

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job o RSK and your deep cleaning at work. It is no fun to do, but nice to have it over with. It has to be so much easier to do with no animals there though.

Julie Great job on such a long run!! 40 minutes is awesome. Great job on your hike in the Alos and cleaning too. So glad that Bennys eye is healed. It's nice to take a weekend off every so often. Great job on your GLL workout and hike up Lava Tower!

Cheryl Wow, I should have taken the weekend off from working out since both of you did. I really really thought about it o Sunday morning because I had a terrible sleep, but decided it would help wake me up. The video chats have been nice we are doing a lot more of those too. Great job on Plyo Hiit 1 and BA. That is a killer workout, I usually sub Plyo Hiit 2 when it shows up on my calendar :rolleyes:.

Julie Great job on your GL workout and hike in the Alps. I hope it isn't any serious with Sheba. My friends dog has Cushings. That is funny about them all looking at you like that! Hopefully they will get to eat soon!

I took Saturday as a rest day. We worked in the yard in the morning and then picked up Easter dinner from a local restaurant for us and the boys. We did a drop off of food and then video chatted and sent Ashley a meal from one of her local restaurants on Sunday. Sunday morning I did not want to workout because I slept really badly, but decided a fun workout might help me. I did Step Blast and the abs from ME and it did help wake me up. Then I got the rest of my mulch spread. Monday morning was Step Sync. I see why you like that one so much Cheryl. It took me a couple times to get the move down with the sweep over the bench, but now that I have that it is fun. I did a curbside pick up grocery order yesterday for the first time. It was really nice. The shopper texted me while he was doing the shopping if they didn't have something that was on my list and asked about substitutions. Then you click on the app to tell them when you are on your way and it tracks you to the store. The guy was waiting for me at the curb with my order when I got there. I'm definitely going to be doing that again. This morning I did Rockout Knockout and the abs from Body max 2. Now it's going to be porch and deck clean up because they are covered in pollen The yellow pollen clean up already happened, but now it's the white pollen. Have a great day!

Julie Good job on your Get Lean workout and hike in the Swiss Alps. I hope everything will be OK with Sheba. I can see them now sitting there in front of you with sad faces. You are right though it is easier to not feed any of them then trying to keep one of them away from the food.

Pam That is so handy to be able to get take out from your favorite restaurant not have to cook. Good for you in doing Step Blast when you had a lousy sleep. Step Sync is a fun one isn't it, especially when you get the steps down. I haven't done the on-line grocery thing yet but it sure would be handy. Here it is so popular that you sometimes have to wait two weeks to get your groceries. They are really having a hard time keeping up with the demand. Great work on Rockout Knockout and the abs from BM2. Pollen just covers everything and it is hard to keep up with it.

This morning was S&S Bootcamp. I think I have only done that one once before. Then I went to work. It was really quiet and the day dragged a bit. I am glad that I have a couple of days off before I have to go back.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Glad you got some more yard work done. That was nice that you sent food to Ashley for Easter. Great job on Step Blast plus ME abs! Glad it helped wake you up so you get more mulch spread. Great job on Step Sync! I did a pickup once, loved not having to go in the store. Great job on RK plus BM2 abs! That doesn’t sound like fun all that pollen.

Cheryl Great job on S&S BC! That stinks when the day drags on. Do you have any animals right now?

This morning I did a run in Easter Island and a hike in the Swiss Alps! They didn’t end up finding anything with the ultrasound on Sheba’s liver so next step is a couple of tests in 2 weeks. Not sure what is going on with this weather but we have snow going on right now and supposed to get 1-3 inches. Seriously!

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I had been trying to do curbside pickup for awhile but this was the first time I found an available pick up time. It was for the same day too which really surprised me. I will definitely do it again if I can get a time slot! Great job on S&S Bootcamp. It's the worst when things are slow at work. I'm glad that you have a couple of days off before you have to go back.

Julie Great job on your run on Easter Island and hike in the alps! Is that good news that they didn't find anything with the ultrasound? I hope so. SNOW?! That is horrible! Hopefully it melts quickly and warms up fast. This weather really does't know what to do right now.

This morning I did Rhythmic Step which always goes quickly. I decided to use this week as an active recovery week and just do the most fun step workouts. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie We only have two bunnies right now and they are both in foster care. So we don't have any animals at the shelter. Good job on your run on Easter Island and hike in the Swiss Alps. That is good that they didn't find anything with the ultra sound, but you have to wait to see if the tests pick up anything. SNOW!!!! That really sucks. I hope it doesn't stick around too long.

This morning was Intensity. I did better than the last time I did it but it still wasn't pretty. I did the High Intensity Hiit as well this time. Then I got groceries, it wasn't too bad and the only line I had to wait in was one to get to the cashiers. Then I got some meal prepping done and then got outside for a while. It is really nice here (sorry Julie) and I was thinking I need to get my shorts out.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on RS! It is always good to make your workouts fun! I guess it is good news that there is nothing they can see with the liver like tumors but now it is more testing to find out what is causing the high liver enzymes.

Cheryl Great job on Intensity! What a toughie! I always feel like I need to take breaks during that one. Oh wow you are having nice weather if you are getting shorts out. Maybe in another week for us here.

This morning I did a Get Lean workout and a hike through a tourist town in the Bernese Mountains. It was super quaint looking and somewhere I wouldn't mind vacationing. Our snow melted pretty quickly; however, right now we are under a snow storm advisory of 4-7 inches over night tonight! :eek: :(

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on Intensity. I'm always so happy when I get through the step and forget that the high hiit is no walk in the park either. They just put new rules in place here this week to limit the number of people who can be in a store at a time, but I haven't been to a store since that started. I'm hoping I can do curbside pickup again when I need something. I had my shorts and swimsuit out a couple of weeks ago and then again last week, but now it's too chilly. It's supposed to warm up again tomorrow though I think. At least I hope so! We have a foster application from someone who used to foster for an SPCA in BC. She didn't say where in BC or when she fostered there, but it would be funny if it's yours.

Julie Great job on your GL workout on your hike in the Bernese Mountains! It must be really fun to check out all of those places during your workouts. 4-7 inches of snow, that is just crazy!!! Somebody needs to tell Mother Nature the winter has been over for almost a month!

This morning I did a mashup of the step from All Step, Step+Intervals, and the bonus abs 2 from Step Boss. It was a fun combo. All Step was my first Cathe workout and is still a favorite. I hardly ever do it though because the cardio is so short. Pirate just had a recheck on his eye and they said it looks so much better that he won't have to have it removed! Jade went to her forever home this afternoon. We are supposed to wait until after they have had their spay surgery, but she already has an appointment and this woman has adopted from us before so I felt comfortable letting her go early. Julia already has an adopter too so I might let her go next week. Have a great day!

Julie Good work on your Get Lean workout and hike in the Bernese Mountains. That is great that your snow melted quickly but what a bummer that you are getting more tonight.

Pam We have had the numbers limited with how many are allowed in a store at one time for almost a month. Curbside pickup would be the best since you wouldn't have to wait in line to get into the store. Oh wow what a small world. We have a lot of SPCA locations in the province and it would be funny if they fostered for our branch. Great job on your mashup from All Step, Step+Intervals and the bonus abs 2 from Step Boss. That is great news that Pirate doesn't have to have his eye removed. That is great that you have several adopters for your kittens.

This morning was ICE Metabolic Total Body. It was sure a lot easier than the workouts I have done in the past several days. Then there was a lot I needed to get done but I didn't feel like doing it. So I went for a walk instead in the afternoon. It was so nice out I didn't want to stay inside.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on CTX Step mashup plus bonus abs 2 from SB! Oh that is awesome news about Pirate and happy news for Jade and Julia too!

Cheryl Great job on ICE MTB! I am sure it was nice to do after Intensity for sure. I think you made the right decision in going outside. If it is nice out, take advantage of that!

This morning I did a run in Bend, Oregon and a hike in the French Alps! I think I could live in either of those locations. Of course it doesn’t help that even when we don’t get several inches of snow in the middle of April like we did this morning, the view of soybean and corn fields just isn’t as exciting as some of these places I get to “visit” through my treadmill.

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie Great work on your run in Bend Oregon and hike in the French Alps. I can imagine that snow and acres of of soybean and corn fields are not too exciting. At least you can see other locations with your treadmill.

This morning was Rockout Knockout. Then I went to work. It was really quiet but I did get a lot done and the day went by fairly fast.

Have a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on ICE MTB. I'm sure it was nice to get a bit of a break from those crazy workouts! Good for you for going out for a walk when it was nice instead of staying inside. That is much better for your mental health.

Julie Great job o your run in Bend and hike in the Alps. I think it I had that treadmill I would be adding a lot of places to visit to my bucket list!

Cheryl Greta job on RK! it was nice that you were able to get a lot done at work!

Yesterday I went for a 27 mile bike ride in the morning and participated in a car parade for a Make a Wish recipient in the afternoon. She is either 3 or 4 and had a heart transplant. Her wish was for a swing set that was being built in her back yard yesterday. They usually throw a party to celebrate the wish, but because of social distancing couldn't do that and did the car parade instead. There were fire trucks and police cars and people were giving her balloons. It was very sweet. Last night we had a family trivia night on Zoom. I think we had close to 30 people and it was really fun. This morning was Party Rockin Step 2 and ab stacker abs. Today has been all about cats. We took in 4 moms and 18 kittens plus an owner surrender today :rolleyes: so I spent a lot of time lining up fosters. Tomorrow I and driving a hour and half to meet someone to pick up another mom and 5 kittens. Kitten season is definitely in full swing :(. Have a great day.

Pam
 
Pam Great job on your 27 mile bike ride, PRS#2 and the ab stacker. That would be fun to participate in a car parade. I bet it made the little girls day. Zoom is becoming really popular right now. Wow kitten season is in full swing. That is a lot of kittens.

Saturday morning I did Muscle Endurance. It had been quite a while since I did that one and my abs are talking to me today. This morning I did Stretch Max segments 1 and 3 and then had a lazy day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on RK and ME and SM segments 1 & 3! Lazy days are wonderful! It was actually pretty decent out yesterday in the low 60s and I was able to go out on the deck without a jacket for a little while.

Pam Great job on your 27 mile bike ride! Oh that is cool they found a different way to celebrate the Make a Wish coming true. How fun to have a trivia night. It is nice to have technology to help keep people connected during this time. Great job on PRS2 and ab stacker abs! Wow that is quite a number of cats to take in at one time.

Saturday I did a Get Lean workout and then a hike on Easter Island! After that it was a few things around the house but a pretty lazy weekend. This morning I did a Get Lean workout and then a hike up Lava Tower. It was only a 15 minute workout but most of it is at 40% incline. Being at that incline puts my head about 6 inches from the ceiling and I have to hang on to the treadmill with at least one hand. Not usually a problem but this morning I looked up and just out of reach was a spider. I was only about a third into the workout so it was quite distracting trying to watch where the spider went while hanging on to the treadmill with one hand and holding a Kleenex ready to kill with the other. It finally got close enough with about 1 minute left and I was able to take care of it. It was pretty scary when it crawled behind my head for a while.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on ME. That is a really hard ab workout but us one if my favorites because there are no awkward moves. Great jb on Stretch Max!!!

Julie Great job on your GL workout and your hike on Easter Island and your GL workout and hike elope Lava Tower. That sounds like quite the tense workout. That would have totally freaked me out and I'm sure it got your heart rate up there!!! I'm glad you were able to take care of him and finish our workout without hurting yourself!

Yesterday was my rest day. It was a nice day for a ride and the kittens and mom are so adorable. I was tempted to tell one of the fosters that it turned out there were only 4 kittens because there was a little back fluffy one that I just loved. I got home, gave them all a vaccine and de-wormer, and the fosters came and picked them up. This morning was PHA 3 and the bonus abs from Fit Split. That is my favorite of the PHA workouts I think. It's an ugly rainy day here today so hopefully I will get some inside work done. Have a great day.

Pam
 
Julie Great work on your Get Lean Workouts and hike on Easter Island and the Lava Tower. I would have freaked out if there was a spider that close to me. I don't know if I could have continued with the workout. You were a trooper to continue on and also take care of it without losing a beat.

Pam Isn't it fun giving kittens their vaccines and de-wormer. They are always so squirmy it can be hard to do. It is so tempting to want to keep them for yourself sometimes. Good job on PHA3 and the bonus abs from Fit Split.

It was CCC for me today. I really struggled through it today and I needed to modify in places but I did make it through. Then I got the front and back pressure washed and all of the patio stuff cleaned off. I am pretty pooped now and should sleep well tonight.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam You are strong for letting all the kittens go to the fosters instead of keeping one. Sounds like a close foster fail call. Great job on PHA3 plus bonus abs from FS! I hope your weather turns around. Ours is still pretty cold only in the high 40s today.

Cheryl Great job on CCC! That one is tough. Good for you for modifying when needed. Wow you got a lot done. Hopefully you got that well deserved good rest that night!

This morning I did a Get Lean workout and a hike up Mt. Blady in California. No spider this morning! I did have another scare yesterday. I was carrying a box downstairs yesterday and slid down the last 3 stairs. I have a bruise on my arm and bum. Of course Gunny and Benny came to my rescue and licked my face while I laid at the bottom of the stairs to help of course!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Good work on your Get Lean workout and hike up Mt. Blady. Oh wow you were lucky that you only bruised your arm and bum. Aww that is so cute of Gunny and Benny to come to your rescue and lick your face.

This morning was Circuit Blast. I sure have been feeling my age this week. I found the workout really tough but I made it through. Then I did a bit of cleaning. We needed to go to the hardware store to pick up a few things to fix a leaky faucet so we did that and I picked up a couple of plants as well to brighten the outside up.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on CB and making it through it! She packs quite a bit in that short amount of time. I wish I had a green thumb. Every plant I buy dies. If it doesn't whine at me to tell me it needs food or water, I tend to forget about it.

This morning I did a run on Easter Island around the crater and then a hike in Peru. Today is Earth Day and National Jelly Bean day. Can't get better than that ... oh wait it can when we might actually make it to 70 today!

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on CCC. Are you doing a rotation or did you just decide that you wanted to torture yourself? :p You sure had a productive day. I hope you got that great sleep that night.

Julie Our weather has turned around and has been quite beautiful the last couple of days, I just hope it is ready to stick around now, Great job on your GL workout and hike ups M Blady. So glad there was not another spider, but that fall on the stairs sounds pretty scary. Glad to hear that you were just a little bruised, and how ice of Gunny and Benny to come and take care of you!

Cheryl Great job on CB! I have those weeks too, but good for you making it through. I did some outdoor planting a couple of weeks ago but I need to do more. I'm waiting until I have an essential need to go to the hardware store like you did though.

Julie Great job o your run on Easter Island and your hike in Peru! Earth day and National Jelly Bean day on the same day?! Wow, who knew. What an exciting day! ;)

Yesterday morning I did Imax 4 and added rounds 8-10 a second time since it is short. That still brought it in under an hour, but it was close. Today was Strong and Sweaty PHA training plus the bonus abs. I decided to make this a PHA week and will do PHA 2 on Friday. I had to take More to the vet because his lip was all pink and puffy, It turned out to be ringworm UGH! I called the woman who adopted Jade because she had texted me to say that Jade had some missing hair on her head. So I went and picked her up and will be keeping her until it's better. After that it was 6 kitten baths. The stuff has to stay on them for 10 minutes before you can rinse it and they were all screaming like crazy. Then I had to take the room apart and bleach everything and wash everything that can go in the wash an vacuum. Not exactly the way I had planned to spend my day o_O. That's how it goes sometimes though. Have a great day!
