Strength in Numbers

Julie Good job on your heavy weight and core workouts, your hike in Romania and pilates and mobility work. That is great that you are having nice weather and could spend time outside. Fingers crossed that Benny doesn't get another UTI.

Pam Good work on AB Double Trouble Premix. I will have to try that premix. Hopefully you don't have to pick up too many sticks and branches after your thunderstorm.

So it was a bit cooler today. I did do FT Bootcamp just the timesaver premix that does the first 4 rounds. That was tough and I was pretty sweaty when I was done. In the afternoon we went to the mall with our friend since it had air conditioning. It is suppose to be even cooler tomorrow so I am looking forward to it.

Pam Great job on AB DT! That premix seems to make it so much more doable for some reason. Hope there wasn't too much damage from the storm.

This morning I did a bike ride in Bermuda, Pilates in the Bahamas, and some yoga and mobility work. Despite getting some decent (for me) sleep the last couple of nights, I am already ready for a nap. Too bad I have to work and they frown on napping during work hours.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I’m glad you got a bit of a break from the heat. Great job On FT BC and getting sweaty! Enjoy the cooler weather!

Julie Great job on you ride in Bermuda, pilates in the Bahamas, yoga and mobility work. You didn’t do those on an island?! I always thought that they should allow naps at work. You are so much more productive after a quick nap than if you are just dragging.

This morning was Lean Legs and Abs. I did the premix that adds in Barre since it is such a short workout. It’s pretty easy except for the outer thigh work with the bands. The only bands I have now are the boss bands and man, it was tough trying to do that part with those. I need to order more of the regular firewalker bands! Have a great day!

Julie Great job on your bike ride in Bermuda and Pilates in the Bahamas and your yoga and mobility work. They should allow napping at work it would be much more productive.

Pam Good work on Lean Legs and Abs and the Barre work. The boss bands are a lot harder than the regular firewalker bands.

This morning was LITE Pyramid Pump Lower, then I went and got groceries. After that I went into the SPCA to do an extra shift. The person who normally does this shift is off for the month of August. After I got home I got a bit of cleaning done. It is so much nicer now that it has cooler down and I don't feel like I am melting.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on PPL and your shift at the SPCA. it sounds like you might be doing more shifts this month if someone if off for the whole month. I’m glad you are no longer melting. It has been a really not summer here too.

This morning was Cardio Supersets+Step. It really killed me this morning. The regular part of the workout wasn’t too bad until the planks with the alternating leg outs and knee ins at the end and then I was very ready for the step part to be over. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on LLA! Oh I bet it is tougher with the Boss Bands. I would love a siesta after lunch. Great job on CSS+Step! Those sliding plank moves are tough.

Cheryl Great job on LITE PP LB! So glad it has cooled down for you and you are no longer melting.

This morning I did a heavy weight and core workout. I have a dentist appointment today for a cleaning. Fingers crossed that the dentist doesn't find anything needing to be done.

Have a great day!
 
Pam Great job on Cardio Supersets + Step. I think I have only done the step portion of that one once.

Julie Good work on your heavy weight and core workout. I have to go for a cleaning tomorrow. Hopefully your dentist didn't find anything.

This morning was LITE Pyramid Pump Upper Then I got the vacuuming done and floors washed. After that I went out to my mom's to take her to a doctor's appointment and then for some groceries. It has really cooled down here and is raining now that I am quite fine with.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Julie Great job on your heavy weight and core workout. I hope the cleaning went well and they didn’t find anything that needs to be done!

Cheryl Great job on PPU and your cleaning. I’m glad you are enjoying your cooler weather, rain and all!

This morning was LIHI Chest, shoulders, and triceps with bonus abs 1. I really don’t like that one very much because of the finishers! I was having trouble with the plank jacks at the end and realized it was because my arms were fried! Today some of my friends are coming over for lunch and a pool day so I’m looking forward to that. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Cheryl Great job on LITE PP UB! Dentist didn't find anything for me and hoping you get the all clear too.

Pam Great job on LIHI CST plus bonus abs 1! Hope you had a great day in the pool with your friends.

This morning I did some mobility, yoga, and pilates! Taking tomorrow off work and have some things we want to get done around the house like putting a new kitchen faucet in and hopefully picking some pears.

Have a great weekend!
 
Pam Great job on LIHI Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. The finishers are hard in that one. Enjoy your time having lunch and hanging out at the pool with your friends.

Julie I got the all clear too. Good work on your mobility, yoga and Pilates. Enjoy your weekend.

So last night my dinner really reacted on me so this morning I was feeling really wiped out. I think I had a reaction to the eggs that we had. So I didn't workout this morning but I did go to the dentist and everything was fine. In the afternoon I went to the SPCA for my shift and I trained a new volunteer on what we do. After dinner we did go for a bit of a walk so I did get some exercise in today.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Julie Great job on your mobility, yoga, and pilates! I ope everything goes well with your faucet installation!

Cheryl Sorry to hear about your dinner reaction. I had a food reaction this week too. Glad that you got the all clear at the dentist though and were able to get out for a walk.

Thursday I had a nice time with my girlfriends, but in the middle of the night I woke up so sick. I was able to get a few hours of sleep in the morning, but then I just stayed in bed all day. I was afraid to eat anything but had a couple of crackers and some yogurt around noon and they stayed down so I was happy about that. Yesterday morning I was back to normal but figured a workout wasn’t a good idea. I had a wish delivery in the afternoon in a town that is about an hour and a half from here. The rescue had gotten an email from woman in that town about some kittens that were living outside so I decided to go by and check it out while I was there. What a mess! The neighbors were all super nice and taking care of them, but there were so many cats and kittens! There were 6 that were weaned and she had found homes for 4 of them so I told her I would take the other 2. One of them she has not been able to touch though, so we didn’t get him and I came home with one. Then another neighbor made a crate for a mom and 4 babies that are about 3-4 weeks old, the woman I originally talked to has a mom with 2 kittens in her backyard, and the woman across the street has a mom and 4 kittens but we only found the mom. I am so worried about the first 4 kittens because their eyes are all infected so we are going to try and get that mom so that we can take them in. I told her that we will get all of the moms spayed, but we have to trap them to do that, so hopefully we will be able to. This morning I did Plyo Hiit 2. It was tough, but luckily it‘s a quick one. Yesterday Eloise went for a trial adoption and my 3 boys have a meet and greet this morning with someone who is looking for a playmate for her cat, so . Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Oh no, sorry your dinner didn't agree with you. Hopefully you are doing better and yea on the all clear at the dentist.

Pam Oh no, sorry about you not feeling well. Glad you took a few days off to heal from that plus it sounds like you had quite a bit going on with all the cats. Hope it all works out. Great job on Plyo HiiT 2!

Friday I did a heavy weight and core workout and then did a bunch of cleaning. Saturday was a hike in Romania to "Dracula's" castle and then some yoga and pilates. After that DH and I got a few things done around the house and actually got the faucet installed pretty quickly for us! Sunday was my lazy day and this morning I did a heavy weight and core workout!

Have a great day!
 
Pam Having a food reaction is not fun. I am glad that it didn't last too long. That is an awful lot of cats and kittens to deal with. I hope you can trap them and get them spayed. Great job on Plyo Hiit 2. I hope everything goes well with Eloise's trial adoption.

Julie Good job on your heavy weight and core workouts and your hike in Romania and yoga and Pilates. That is great that the faucet installation went well.

Friday I did ICE Metabolic Blast and in the evening we went to a neighbors place for margaritas. Saturday I went dragon boating and it was a nice morning on the water, not as hot as last week. Yesterday I took as my day off but I did go to the farmers market and then had a lazy day. This morning I did P30 LIHI Hiit and I got the grocery shopping done.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on ICE MB! Oh yum, margaritas sounds yummy! Glad you had good weather for dragon boating. Great job on P30 HiiT!

This morning I did a bike ride in Bermuda, worked on my front splits, yoga, and Pilates! I have been working with the news on trying to catch the weather. I think I have missed the last 5 times it has been on.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your heavy weight and core workout, cleaning, your hike in Romania yoga, and Pilates! That’s great that you got your new faucet installed so quickly! Great job on your heavy weight and core workout on Monday too!

Cheryl Great job on MB! Margaritas with the neighbors sounds like my kind of evening! Great job on dragon boating, I’m glad it wasn’t so hot this time. Great joB on P30 Hiit!

Julie Great job on your bike ride in Bermuda, yoga, and pilates! How are your front splits coming? That’s funny that you keep missing the weather on the news. I don’t even try, I just use a weather app now.

Yesterday DH and I went for a bike ride. It was so hot it just wiped me out, I was really ready to be done. After that we were mainly lazy but did some swimming. I also am kitten sitting for another foster until Sunday so I went and picked the kittens up and did some grocery shopping and errands on the way. This morning was RWH LIHI Back, shoulders, and biceps and bonus abs 2. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Great job on your bike ride in Bermuda, yoga and Pilates and working on your front splits. Funny the one thing you want to see on the news and you keep on missing it. I use a weather app too, it is usually the same as what the weather on the news is.

Pam Great work on your bike ride. The heat wipes me out too and I can't go outside at all, nice to have a lazy day after that and some swimming. Fun to have another kitten around. Good job on RWH LIHI Back, Shoulders, Biceps and bonus abs 2.

This morning I did LITE Stacked Sets Lower. I am going to walk our neighbors dog Leo. They went out for the day som I said that I would take him for a bit of a walk. It is cooler out today so it should be nice for walking.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on your bike ride with DH! Hopefully you stayed hydrated with it being so hot. Great job on RWH LIHI BSB plus bonus abs 2! Happy kitten sitting! I need to take a picture of my front splits. I feel like I am really close but I know there is still a ways to go to get fully down and comfortable.

Cheryl Great job on LITE SS LB! Hope Leo enjoyed his walk. I have actually opened my weather app before, looked at it, closed it, and then realized I didn't register what it said.

This morning I did a heavy weight and core workout. I have been adding on a stretch at the end of heavy weight days the last month or so and I really think it has helped. I actually look forward to doing it now.

Have a great day!
 
This morning I did some mobility, yoga, and Pilates! We are supposed to have beautiful upper 70s weather tomorrow. I am going to try to visit my mom since it is her birthday and maybe I can convince her to sit outside. She has become quite the homebody not wanting to even go out in her own yard.

Have a great weekend!
 
Cheryl Great job on SSL and your walk with Leo.

Julie Great job on your heavy weight and core workout. It sounds funny when you talk about feeling comfortable while doing a full split. I can’t even imagine that! Great job on your mobility, yoga and pilates! I hope your mom has a nice birthday and you are able to convince her to go outside.

Yesterday I had to take my new kitten Tate to the vet for his neuter surgery and then I did Athletic Training. He was done and ready to come home by noon! After I picked him up I had a wish discovery meeting and then DH and I went to see Loveryboy, Styx, and REO Speedwagon. We didn’t get to see any of Loverboy though because there was a huge line to get iin and right as we were about to go through the gates they stopped letting people in and stopped the show because there was lightening in the area. They opened again within about 30 minutes, but Loverboy didn’t come back on. The show was still fun though. This morning I did Body Max step and power circuits. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Haha I have done that before too on apps and then I have to open it and look at it again. Great job on your heavy weight and core workout and your mobility, yoga and Pilates. I hope you got your mom outside, it is not good to sit inside all the time.

Pam Good work on Athletic Training and BM Step and Power Circuits. Bummer that you missed Loverboy. I remember seeing them about 40 years ago in a bar in Vancouver before they made it big.

Yesterday morning I did Stacked Sets Upper Body. Then we went out to my mom's for lunch and then we went to the casino. I did come out $10 ahead and my mom was $40 ahead so we had a better luck. After we got home we went over to our friends place for a BBQ and then went out for a walk. This morning I was really tired, I have been having problems sleeping. I did Step Sync just the first 3 sections and not the finished product. I was done after the first 3 sections. I did go to the SPCA this afternoon and helped out there.

Have a great day.
