Strength in Numbers

Julie Good for you in getting up when you were in a deep sleep and doing your mobility and yoga work. The time change sucks and I really wish it was done away with. I hope you get rested up this weekend.

Pam Great job on Chiseled Upper Body and upping the weights. That sounds like a tough discovery meeting. Glad that you got what you needed in the end though.

So yesterday I was very tired so I didn't do a workout and then I needed to go and get my hair cut and then I went to do my shift at the shelter. Today I was super tired as well and I think it is because for the last several days I haven't drank enough water so I am quite dehydrated :confused:. I have been busy for the last few days and I guess my water intake hasn't been what it should be. So now I am making sure that I drink enough today and trying to motivate myself to do something instead of turning on Netflix.

Have a great day.

Cheryl That does take away all of your energy when you are dehydrated. Now you get to deal with the time change as well :mad:. Hopefully you get your energy back by staying hydrated though.

Friday DH and I went for a bike ride. It was cool and cloudy and was a tough ride. I always feel like it’s harder when it’s cold out. I took Saturday as my rest day because my legs were still pretty tight and I basically did a whole lot of nothing other than a little running around. I did get a new foster kitten. A little black fluffy guy. He is still pretty scared but does like to be in your lap. This morning was X53 which is the hi/lo, cardio blast, and fat burning circuit and then the abs from SJP. Now I need to get off my butt and do something productive! Have a great day.

Pam Great job on CUB and increasing the weight used! Shoulders are definitely something to be careful with. Oh wow, that does sound like a tough and stressful wish session. Great job on your bike ride with DH! I think it would be harder in the cold too. Great job on X53 plus SJP abs! Hope the new kitty is doing good.

Cheryl Dehydration can surely zap your energy. I have the same problem when I am super busy, I tend to not eat or drink to support my activity. Hope you are feeling a little more energized especially with the lost hour.

Friday I did a heavy weight workout and some core work and then did cleaning and also put together a new filing cabinet with DH. Saturday I did a run in Romania and some yoga and then took Ruby to her annual vet checkup. All is good with her but she does have a bump on her ear that we have to call and set up a time for them to remove. Sunday was my lazy day and this morning I did a heavy weight workout and some core work. We are getting nicer weather this week in the 50s and possibly 60s. Nice to have after losing an hour sleep this weekend!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your heavy weight work, core workout, cleaning, run in Romania, yoga, heavy weight and core work! I’m glad Ruby is doing well other than her bump. I am ready for the nice weather to come and stay! We have had such roller coaster temperatures here. Last weekend was in the 80’s and Saturday it was cold and there was a little snow in the air!! Everybody was looking around saying ‘is that snow?!’ :D. Luckily it was very short-lived!

This morning was Circuit Blast. It‘s pretty short so I repeated the first 3 rounds which made it exactly an hour. DH just finished painting our kitchen and now I am ordering some new light fixtures. We have them picked out, but are trying to decide what finish we like the best. Of course now I’m looking at some of the other furniture in there thinking it would be nice to get something new…:rolleyes:. I think I need to finish working on my dining room first though. I am trying to find some material for drapes in there but haven’t had any luck finding anything I like yet. Have a great day!

Pam Great job on your bike ride. I think everything is harder when it is cold out. Great job on X53 too. Your new foster kitten sounds really cute, nice that he likes to be on your lap.

Julie Good work on your heavy weight and core workouts and your run in Romania and yoga. That is great that everything is good with Ruby except for the bump on her ear. Glad that you are getting some nice weather.

Pam Good job on Circuit Blast. It is so nice to paint and then get some new furniture. It always brightens up the place.

So Saturday I was feeling better so I did P30 Yoga. Then I did some errands and had our friend over for dinner that night. Sunday I went dragon boating. It was pouring rain first thing in the morning but it stopped by the time we got out on the water. I was also shocked that I actually felt fine after the time change. I don't remember that ever happening before. It is sounding like we may just keep the time at daylight savings now and we won't have to change back in the fall. We will see if that holds true. This morning I started doing LITE Pyramid Lower Body but my back was having issues so I decided to call it half way through. I then just did LITE Extended Stretch 1 and my back liked that one. After that I got some cleaning done. It was pouring rain here and it looks like it will be rainy all week long.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on CB plus extra 3 rounds! Hopefully the up and down huge weather swings are done. You have a lot of redecorating going on. It can be stressful trying to find what you want but once it is all done, it is so nice.

Cheryl Great job on P30 Yoga and dragon boating! That was lucky it stopped raining by the time you got out on the water. Oh that would be so awesome for you if they do away with the time change permanently. That was a good call to stop your workout with your back acting up and switch to LITE ES 1!

It was so nice in the 60s yesterday afternoon. DH and I took the dogs on a little walk and then went a little farther on our own. Benny can only go so far. This morning I did a ride in Turkey and some mobility and yoga work.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on P30 yoga. I’m glad to hear that you were feeling better AND the time change didn’t bother you. It’s nice that the rain stopped for you to get your dragon boating in. I keep hoping that we just keep the time change and it seems like they keep teasing us that they are thinking about it, but then it never happens. I hope yours holds true! Great job on switching out to some stretching when your back was talking to you.

Julie Good for you and DH getting out and enjoying the nice weather and great jobon your ride in Turkey and mobility and yoga work!

This morning was supposed to be Low Impact Sweat, but I wanted to do something more fun so I did Power Max. An oldie but goodie! Then I had a wish discovery with the cutest girl. She is only 8 but you felt like you were talking to an adult. After she was diagnosed she designed and sold some T-Shirts to help pay for the cost of her treatment and to donate to cancer research and she made $27,000! Pretty amazing. Have a great day!


Pam
 
Julie That is great that you are getting good weather and you could get out for a nice walk. Good job on your ride in Turkey and your mobility and yoga work.

Pam Great work on Power Max. Wow that is awesome that she raised that much money for her treatment and cancer research.

This morning I did 4DS Higher Intensity Step (step portion only) and then I added on the core work. After that I went and got groceries and then I got the rest of the housework done.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on PM! That is an oldie and got to love the leotards and hair scrunchies! Oh wow! What an amazing little girl. Sometimes kids are just so astounding in what they can handle and do.

Cheryl Great job on 4DS HIS step and core work!!

DH and I went for another walk last night. This morning I did a heavy weight workout and some core work. It might get to 70 today so hopefully I can get home from the office in time to walk with DH again.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on 4DS HIS and core work and getting your housework done!

Julie That’s great that you and DH got out for another walk, I hope you make it home in time for one tonight also. How has getting back to work been going for him? Great job on your heavy weight and core workout!

This morning was Perfect 30 Lower+Upper+extended stretch. Now I’m going to get some yard work done before my appointment for my moms taxes this afternoon. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Hi ladies! This morning my back was so stiff that I did Mobility Basics and core. I did some raking yesterday getting the leaves out of the flower beds so thinking that may be the reason. Hopefully it will be feeling better soon. ow I’m headed to a shelter to pick up a tri-pod Maine Coon that we are taking in. He’s going to hang out here for a few days until his foster gets back from spring break. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your walk, heavy weight and core workout. So nice that you are getting warm weather. I hope you get home in time to enjoy another walk with your DH.

Pam Great work on P30 Lower+Upper+Extended Stretch and Mobility Basics and core. I know what you mean about having a very stiff back. I hope the stretching helped. Taxes are such fun. I have already done ours but I still need to do my mom's. Maine Coons are really nice cats, I hope he enjoys his time at your place.

Yesterday morning I couldn't get a workout in because I needed to go out to my mom's early because she needed to get some blood work done before her appointment with her doctor next week. So I get her to the hospital but they did not have the requisition that was supposed to be faxed to them. So we had to go back to her place to call the doctors office but by that time they were on lunch. So we finally spoke to them and they faxed it again and we went back to the hospital. They still did not have the fax for the requisition. So I called again and the doctor's office realized that the faxes were being held on their end and not going through. So frustrating so we couldn't get it done because they needed to look into it. So we went to the casino instead and we both had luck in doubling our money. At least something went well yesterday. So I went out even earlier this morning to take her again to the hospital so no workout again. At least this time they had the requisition so my mom finally got it done. After I got home I just had enough time to make some chili for dinner and then go to the SPCA for my shift. When I was there someone brought in a ferret that had been hit by a car. He was in critical distress and was brought to a vet but I don't know if he will make it.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Oh man, what a frustrating day for you and your mom. I’m glad that something went well for you at the casino though and that she was finally able to get her bloodwork done. Poor ferret, hopefully he made it.

This morning was supposed to be X10 fat burning circuit and one of the ab circuits segments, but I did Intensity instead. I did the premix that does step+hi hiit+bootcamp because I had never done the bootcamp section before. It was good, but I was wishing I had opted for the low hiit :D by the time I got to it. The tripod kitty turned out to be a girl and she is just gorgeous and so sweet. I expect she will be scooped up in no time. It’s a sunny beautiful day here so I need to get myself outside some. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on the Intensity premix. Haha I would have wished for the low hiit too. Kitties that are sweet and gorgeous are scooped up pretty fast, I am sure she will be too. I hope you enjoyed your sunny day.

This morning DH had an early morning ultrasound appointment so again I didn't get a workout in. If I don't do it in the morning it just doesn't get done. After his appointment we went to Home Depot and picked up a patio set and a firepit. The patio set has a love seat, 2 chairs and a table. We just need some nice weather now to get it set up.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl I hope all is well with your DH. I’m with you, if I don’t do my workout first thing it doesn’t happen. That’s so exciting to have new patio furniture to look forward to!

This morning I did Kick, Punch, Crunch. That one always goes by fast for me. I have a wish delivery this afternoon and DH is out of town racing for the weekend, so I’m hoping to get some yard work done before and after the wish celebration. Have a great day.

Pam
 
Pam All is well with DH. He has gall stones so he needs to go once a year for a ultrasound to make sure nothing is getting worse. Great job on KPC that is a fun one. I hope everything goes well with your wish delivery and that you get some yard work done.

This morning I went dragon boating. My coach wanted me to come out with another team to help them with their stroke rate. However it was really windy out and waves were crashing over the boat so we weren't out for long. Some people weren't feeling comfortable being out there so after about 20 minutes we came back in. It was so windy that it was hard paddling but that just helps with the endurance :D. Later we went out for a walk with our friend and Zoey. It was still a bit windy but the sun was out so we wanted to take advantage of it.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on P30 LB+UB+ES! DH is doing pretty good going back to work. He hasn't made it a full 5 days yet but he is getting there. Great job on doing the mobility workout when your back was a little stiff. Great job on Intensity! I think I did the bootcamp section once. Great job on KPC! Are Maine Coons the really big cats?

Cheryl What a hassle with the blood work issue. At least your luck changed for the better when you went to the casino. I hope the ferret made it. I am with you, if I don't get my workout in the morning, it won't get done. That sounds like a lovely patio set. I am not sure I would enjoy being out with such high waves.

I missed posting Thursday. Just got busy with work. I did do some mobility work and yoga that day. Friday was heavy weight lifting and core and then lots of housework. Saturday I did a run in Romania and some yoga and then DH and I drove to Chicago to help transport two dogs to their foster families. They were both boxers, one was about a year old the other was about 8 and he was such a cutie. DH and I fell in love with him even though we were only with him for about an hour. Sunday was my lazy day.
This morning I did a heavy weight workout and some core work. I was really tired for some reason but I made it through.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your mobility work and yoga, your heavy weight lifting and core, your run in Romania and yoga and your heavy weight and core workout. That is great that you and DH helped to transport the dogs to their foster families. It doesn't take long to fall in love with an animal.

So Sunday I went out dragon boating with my team and then I helped with a learn to dragon boat group. It was a very cold, wet and rainy day but at least the wind had died down. It took me hours to warm up after I got home though. This morning I did LITE Metabolic Blast and then I did a bit of cleaning.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl You are awesome to go out in that. I am such a baby when it comes to the weather. Great job on LIE MB!

Last night DH and I went for a walk because it was in the 70s and the rest of the week is supposed to be rainy and in the 50s. This morning I did a bike ride in Turkey and some yoga. I have to take Benny to the vet. After he ate, I noticed he had blood in is urine. We had been putting a belly band on him because he had been having some incontinence. I really hope the belly band didn't do anything to him.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Wow, that would be crazy being out on the water with all of that wine, I don’t think I would have been comfortable! It sounds like you got a good workout in at least.

JulieYes, Maine coons are the really big long haired cats. This girl is beautiful and so so sweet. She weighs 13 pounds but feels heavier than that! Great job on mobility, yoga, heavy lifting, core, housework, run in Romania and yoga! That was great of you guys to transport those dogs. Hmmmm….might there be a new addition to your family soon? :rolleyes: Great job on your heavy weight workout and core work when you weren’t feeling it!

Cheryl Great job on dragon boating and helping with the training. It doesn’t sound like a very fun day to be out there at all! Ii hate those days when it is so hard to warm up. I usually get in a hot shower and stay there for about 20 minutes on those days. Great job on MB and your cleaning!

Julie Great job getting out for a walk and enjoying the nice weather. Great job on your bike ride in Turkey and yoga. I hope that everything is ok with Benny :(

It looks like I missed a couple of days. Sunday I did my got to Body Max step and power circuits. Then I was supposed to have a wish discovery meeting. The mom wanted to do it in person and it‘s and hour and a half drive for me. When I was 20 minutes away the other wish granter called to say she had gotten there early and found out the girl wasn’t there because she is in the hospital. I turned around and drove home. At least it was a nice day for a drive and I hope she is doing ok. This morning nwas ICE Boot Camp circuit plus the blizzard blast. I was going to do Icy core too, but there is plenty of core work in that workout so skipped it. I just got my car washed and now I have to go round up Eloise and Kit Kat for a meet and greet, Sometimes they come right to me and sometimes I have to chase them around the room for 20 minutes, so wish me luck! Have a great day!
