Strength in Numbers

Julie Good job on LITE BW & Bands and your mobility work and your lower body mobility work and Pilates. I hope you can sleep in a little bit tomorrow. I hope Cam's heart murmur isn't anything major. Tango has one but is doing well. I hope you get some relaxing time in this weekend.

Yesterday morning I didn't have time to workout. We had people coming to clean out our dryer vents first thing in the morning and they needed to get into our place and I needed to let them into our friends place since he was at work. After that I went out to my mom's place and took her out. Last night I went dragon boating and it was a hot one. At least there was a bit of a breeze on the water which helped. This morning I did P30 Upper Body. Now I am waiting to get the call to come into the SPCA to help with our transfer of kittens and cats. It will be another hot one today but it looks like it is going to cool down tomorrow.

Cheryl Glad Tango's murmur is not causing him any problems. Getting dryer vents cleaned out is so important for fire prevention. Well at least there was a breeze when you were dragon boating in the heat. Great job on P30 UB! Hope things cooled down for you.

Friday I did get up early and did a heavy weight workout and then did some cleaning before leaving for Cam's appointment. We got good news and they said his murmur was nothing to be concerned about. Saturday I did a walk in Chile and some Pilates and then did some more cleaning and picked some more pears. We got 2 five gallon buckets and there is still more out there that I am hoping to get this coming weekend. Sunday was my lazy day and this morning I did a heavy weight workout.

Have a great day!
 
Hi ladies,
It looks like you are both doing well with your workouts. Cheryl That is awesome that your team got a silver medal and that it was such a competitive race. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun! Julie I’m so glad that Cam’s heart murmur isn’t anything to be concerned about. I’m sure that was a big relief for you guys.
We had a good week. We took our time going to Michigan and spent the night in a cute little town in Ohio on the Ohio river. There was a path along the river so we walked from our hotel to dinner and back. It was about 2 1/2 miles each way, so we got a good walk in. The celebration of life for my mom was really nice. My sister and niece did a really nice job with pictures and memories and it was great to see all of our relatives from Canada that we haven’t seen in 3 years. We weren’t terribly active but we did get another 6 mile hike in and did some kayaking one afternoon. We got home Thursday night and were tired from the drive. Friday we went on a bike ride and Saturday we went on a 6 1/2 mile hike. We booked a trip to Yosemite while we were in the car on the drive up. We’re leaving on the 7th so we decided we need to do some hiking to be ready for the long hikes there. Sunday I did Intensity series Bootcamp and this morning was ICE Bootcamp circuit + the blizzard blast. Oh and I also go 4 new kittens on Friday! Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Great job on your heavy weight workouts and your cleaning and your walk in Chile and Pilates. Wow you have a lot of pears to do something with. That is great that Cam's murmur is nothing to be worried about.

Pam That is great that you had a good week and you could see relatives that you hadn't seen in a while. Good work on your bike ride, 6 mile hike, kayaking, Bootcamp and ICE Bootcamp circuit + Blizzard Blast. Your place is hopping again with 4 more kittens.

So I really didn't workout this weekend. I was feeling really drained since it has been so hot. It did cool down a bit but it will heat up again. This morning I did Rev'd up Rumble and I will be going dragon boating tonight.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam So glad you had a great trip and got some activity in with the walks and hikes. That sounds like a lovely tribute to your mom with having so many people come to celebrate her life. Are you driving out to Yosemite or flying? Great job on Intensity (original style) and ICE BCC plus BB! Fingers crossed the new kittens get adopted soon.

Cheryl We give a lot of the pears away to neighbors and family. I wish I knew how to can but I don't. They do last a few months in the refrigerator though. It is hard to do any activity when it is super hot out. Glad it cooled off a little for you. Great job on doing RUR!

This morning I did a bike ride at North Pole, AK by Santa Claus' house and Antler Academy (where they train the reindeer to fly I guess). After that I worked on my front splits some more and did some Pilates in Aruba. We had a little storm come through yesterday afternoon and it knocked a bunch of pears off the tree. I have to find time today to go clean it up so it doesn't attract to may critters and bugs.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl You have really been having a hot summer! Hopefully it will cool down for you soon. Great job on RUR and dragon boating!

Julie We are flying to Yosemite. Luckily my DH still has a lot of airline miles from traveling for work so we were able to book free tickets. Great job on your bike ride at the North Pole. That’s pretty funny that you went by Santa’s house and Antler Academy :D! Great job on your splits and pilates too. I hope you don’t get sick of pears having so many. It doesn’t sound like much fun having to clean them up off the ground.

This morning I had to drop one of the new fosters, Edison, at the vet for his neuter. After that I did Pyramid Pump lower body and then went by the Make a Wish office to pick up some things for a wish delivery this afternoon. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Oh that is nice to get free tickets. As long as I can clean up the pears when it is cooler it isn't bad. If it is too hot and humid there are bugs everywhere. Great job on PP LB!

This morning I tried to do Total Body Boss Bands but my legs were so sore and just not cooperating. I couldn't even do bodyweight squats and lunges. I thought briefly about switching to Cathe's mobility but then decided maybe I just needed a full day off to rest.

Have a great day!
 
Julie I know that feeling when you want to do a workout but your body is not cooperating. I think you were wise in taking a full rest day.

So Wednesday I did Perfect Pump Upper and then I took my mom out. Last night I went dragon boating. This morning I wanted to workout but my stomach did not like my breakfast which was oatmeal. I did try to do MMA Fusion but it just was not happening. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Cheryl
 
Julie It sounds like you made the right call taking a rest day when your body was letting you know it just wasn’t having It. I hope you are doing better now!

CherylGreat job on PPU and dragon boating. I hope that your stomach is feeling better.

Wednesday DH and I went for a bike ride in the morning and then went out with some friends on their pontoon boat in the afternoon. It was really fun. Yesterday morning was Pyramid Pump upper and 6 pack abs and then I went to give Tate a vaccine before he was officially adopted yesterday afternoon :). This morning was Cardio Leg Blast and now I have to do laundry and get some work done around the house. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Good job on your bike ride, Pyramid Pump and 6 Pack Abs and Cardio Leg Blast. That would be fun going out on a pontoon boat.

It is just a bit hot here so I am dragging my butt. I didn't do a workout this morning but I am hopping the weather will cool down starting tomorrow. So I was doing laundry and noticed that our hose coming out of the dryer and going to the outside vent had a big rip in it. So I had to go out and get another one. It wasn't an actual one for a dryer but the guy said that the one I got would work with it. The ones for the dryer are on back order and he didn't know when they would be getting more in. So I tried to put it on but it seems that it isn't quite big enough. I am going to need DH to take a look at it. So I have clothes hanging everywhere to dry :rolleyes:. Our dishwasher isn't draining either so we need to take a look at the hose coming from the dishwasher to see if it is blocked somewhere there. One of my friends called me last minute to see if I wanted to go out for tea. That was perfect timing since things were not working out so well this morning.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Wow, what a crazy and frustrating morning you had! Your friend must have been feeling that you needed some relief! Hopefully both your dryer and dishwasher are running again soon!

Yesterday DH and I went for a hIke. We still need to do a long one before we leave on Wednesday so we will have to do it soon! This morning was Cardio Party with the calorie crush and 6 pack abs. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Happy Labor Day, I hope you are both having a good holiday weekend! This morning was circuit blast and I repeated the last 3 rounds to make it an hour. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Cheryl Great job on PP UB! Bummer about the oatmeal not agreeing with you. Oh no, what a thing to happen with the dryer. I am not a fan of hang drying clothes. I just feel like it makes them stiffer. Oh no, now the dishwasher too. I am glad you got together to have tea with all that is going on. Hope you got everything fixed.

Pam Great job on your bike ride with DH! Pontooning sounds fun. Great job on PP UB plus 6 pack abs! Yea for Tate getting adopted. Great job on CLB and your hike with DH! Hope you can find time to get another long hike in. Great job on CP plus CC and 6 pack abs and CB!

Looks like I forgot to post on Thursday. Whoops! I did do some mobility work and Pilates. Friday was a heavy weight workout and then cleaning and picking more pears. We are about done picking pears as the ones left are rotting or too high to get. Saturday I did a walk in Chile and some Pilates and then went to my parents for a get together. Sunday was my lazy day. Monday was a lower body heavy weight workout and core work and this morning I did upper body heavy weight workout and some yoga and Pilates. I have a super busy week this week. But at least it is only 3 days.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your mobility work, pilates, heavy weight workout, cleaning, walk in Chile, more Pilates, lower body heavy workout, core, upper body heavy workout, yoga, and Pilates! Wow, that is a lot! I hope that you short but busy week goes well!

This morning was Strong Body Stacked Sets Upper, but I did a total body premix. Unfortunately all of the total body mixes on that one use the pyramid Lower body workout instead of stacked sets, but I didn’t want to change dvds so I just did that one. I only did pyramid up for the calves though because I don’t want my calves screaming at me for the next few days since we will be hiking. I probably won’t get to post again until after we get home next week, so have a great week!

Pam
 
Pam Good job on your hike, Cardio Party + 6 Pack Abs and Circuit Blast.

Julie Great work on your mobility work and Pilates, your heavy weight workout, your walk in Chile and Pilates, your lower body heavy weight workout and core work and your upper body heavy weight workout and yoga and Pilates. I hope your week goes by quick for you.

Pam Good work on your total body premix. Enjoy your trip and your hiking.

So I can't remember what I did Saturday, Sunday I went to the farmers market and it was a nice cool day. It even rained a bit which hadn't happened in quite a while. Monday I did Hiit 30/30 then I went for a power walk. Today I did Strong Body Stacked Sets Lower and then I went and got groceries. Then I went to the SPCA to help my assistant manager with cleaning the budgie cages and weighing them.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Today was Strong Body Stacked Sets Upper. Then I got some cleaning done and then we went out to take my mom out. We went to the casino again but only DH had luck today. They were also filming something outside there as well. I don't know what but there were a lot of film trucks there.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on SS/PP TB premix! I don't blame you for going easy on the calves with all the hiking you will be doing. I know you have already left but hope you have a great time.

Cheryl I wish I lived closer to Farmer's Markets. I love the idea of fresh fruits and veggies. Great job on 30/30 and your power walk and SBSS LB! How fun to weight the budgies, cleaning the cages not so much fun but has to be done. Great job on SBSS UB!

Yesterday was a super busy day so I didn't get a chance to post. I did do some mobility and core work before an all day meeting. :( This morning I did some yoga, Pilates, and a bike ride in Alaska with sled dogs. I am taking Benny to the vet tomorrow. His UTI may be back and we think he is in more pain lately and want to see what we can do.

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie Good job on your mobility and core work and yoga, Pilates and your bike ride in Alaska. On no poor Benny, I hope his UTI can be cleared up quickly.

Thursday I did MMA Kickbox and then I went to the SPCA. I was there quite a while since there was a lot to do and we are very short on volunteers right now. This morning I took as my day off. I did get some laundry done and will be going back to the SPCA to help out in just a bit.

Have a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on MMA Kickbox! Oh no, I hope the volunteers start picking up soon.

So this weekend was awful. Benny's UTI came back so the vet put him on more potent antibiotics and also a new pain med since he has been in more pain than normal. That was Friday. Sunday morning shortly after midnight I woke up and found Benny had passed away in the middle of the night. I know he was older and slowing down but this was still very unexpected. We did not get much sleep the rest of Sunday. We did call a crematorium who we were able to take him to yesterday morning. They are going to get an ink print and clay paw print and then cremate him so we can pick his ashes up hopefully tomorrow. I am exhausted from lack of sleep and dehydrated from crying.

Have a great day!
 
Julie I am so sorry to hear about Benny that is an awful thing to have to go through. Just know that he is at peace and not suffering anymore. Take care of yourself and take time to heal from this.

Saturday I met up with a couple of friends and we went for a walk at the beach. It had been a long time since I had been there. Sunday was very smoky around here from all of the forest fires burning around us. Apparently we had the worst air quality in the world on Sunday (something you really don't want). We did go for a bit of a walk but it was pretty smoky. Today is a bit better but it is still smoky. I did Hiit Pyramid this morning and I think I am going dragon boating tonight unless it gets cancelled because of the smoke. We will see what happens.
