Strength in Numbers

Julie I am so looking forward to spring right now. It is snowing again here and will probably snow until sometime tomorrow. Great job on your heavy lower body workouts and hike around Lake Tahoe, your mobility work and working on your head and forearm stands. Funny how different dogs react when they are around other dogs. I hope tomorrow is better for you with your energy.

Pam Our friend said that he would come over after work today to look at our garage door for us. Good work on STS Total Body Trisets and S&S Bootcamp. I have never heard Mr. Beast, I will need to look him up. That is great about Kiki and that they will donate $10,000 to your rescue too. I hope everything goes well for Pixel too. I have always wanted to go to Egypt. I am sure that will be a fun trip.

So Friday afternoon I did go out for a walk and it was cold. Saturday I was really tired so I just had a very lazy day. Sunday I had to shovel snow which was really wet, but I did go for a walk in the afternoon because the sun came out. This morning I did Afterburn and then I had to go down to the dentist just to have something done with one of my crowns. It started snowing again here and it is supposed to be worse tomorrow. So I decided to go and get groceries this afternoon to get it over with. I will probably be shoveling snow again tomorrow. I am so ready for spring right now.

Have a great day.

Pam Great job on STS TB Trisets! I don't remember that one but I have no doubt it might have been pushup heavy as Cathe loves pushups. Great job on S&S SBC premix! Oh wow that is amazing about Kiki! I hope it works out as it sounds like it would be great for everyone. Fingers crossed for Pixel too. Oh I am so jealous of your trip. I have wanted to see the pyramids in Egypt since I was about 8.

Cheryl You are so good with walking in the cold. I just can't do it. I am sorry you got more snow and had to shovel. Great job on your afternoon walk in the sun and AB! I hope you don't get as much snow as they are saying. I am right there with you. Come on Spring!

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout and some core. I still felt tired and weak and really had to push myself through the workout. I keep waiting for my energy to kick back in.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I had not heard of Mr Beast until I started volunteering with Make a Wish. I have several kids who want to meet him, so I had to look him up. He’s 25 and worth over a 100 million dollars so Kiki won’t be roughing it . You are do good about getting out for your walks no matter what the weather is. I would make every excuse in the book not to go out. Shoveling snow doesn’t sound so lazy! Great job getting out for another walk and on Afterburn. I hope your snow isn’t too bad!

Julie I am very excited about seeing the Pyramids and everything else! Great job on your upper body and core work. I hope your energy is back soon.

This morning was PHA2. She moves so fast from one move to the next one in that one that I was having trouble getting my weights and getting started in time for several of the exercises. After that the house sitter came over to see how to give Squeaky her pills. Of course this was one of the few times that it didn’t go smoothly, but now she knows how to handle that too . Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Great work on your heavy upper body workout and core. I feel the same way as you with being tired and weak. I think we both need to see the end of winter and move onto some warmer weather.

Pam DH knew who Mr. Beast was and we watched some of his videos. Wow he is worth over $100 million dollars!! You are right Kiki won't be roughing it at all. Good job on PHA2, she does move fast on that one. Giving cats pills is a challenge, glad that she can handle it now.

This morning I did Cardio Supersets. It did snow most of the day but it was too warm for it to stick so it was mostly slush. So I got out of having to shovel snow today. It is suppose to freeze out tonight so all the wet roads will now turn to ice so it will be fun out tomorrow morning. Our friend came over this afternoon and we finally got our garage door fixed. It took a bit but we got it done.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on PHA2! I have no idea how they move so fast from one exercise to another. See Squeaky was helping make sure that the worst case scenario was covered with the pill giving. I can't believe how much YouTubers and Social Media Influencers make. It just blows my mind.

Cheryl Great job on CSS! Oh good you didn't have more snow to shovel. Hopefully you don't have to drive anywhere on the icy roads. That is awesome he was able to fix your garage door. We have rain/snow in the forecast for Friday but after that it is looking decent in the 40s/50s. So I am hopeful we may be turning the corner.

This morning I again was not feeling like working out but I made myself do it. I did some mobility work and worked on my backbend, forearm stand, and headstand. I am feeling more confident on the headstand and for the first time was able to kick up against the wall on the forearms stand. I guess it is is a good thing I decided to workout or I would have missed being able to do that. I also did a bike ride in Maui but that wasn't the exciting part of my workout this time.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on CSS and congratulations on not having to shovel! Ice is the worst, I hope you don’t have to drive in it. So glad that you were able to get your garage door fixed!

Julie Great job getting your workout in when you weren’t feeling it. Great mob on our mobility work, backbend, forearm stand, and headstand! That is awesome that you are feeling more confident with your headstand and that you were able to kick up against the wall on your forearm stand, that is amazing! Great job on your bike ride in Maui too!

This morning was Intensity. It was as hard as every but I made it through. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Great job on your mobility work, your backbends, forearm stand and headstand and your ride in Maui. That is great that you are getting more confident with your headstands. We are not quite as warm as you will be this weekend. Hopefully soon the weather will warm up.

Pam Good work on Intensity, that is a hard one.

This morning I really didn't want to workout either. So I just did Stretch Max Segments 1 and 3. This winter really seems to be dragging and I will be so happy to see the end of it. We are suppose to get more snow tonight but hopefully it won't be too much. I was supposed to go out to my mom's today but because of the ice on the roads and her mobility not being too great we postponed it until next week. I did get some housework done and then I went for a short walk to get some fresh air as all I wanted to do was nap.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on making it through Intensity! That is adequately named.

Cheryl Great job doing SM 1 & 3 when you weren't feeling a workout. I bet it felt good to get in some stretching. I hope your mom is doing better now with her stomach issue.

Last night when I got home from work, it was actually very nice out in the mid-50s so DH and I took the dogs for a walk. This morning I did a heavy upper body workout and some core work. I just looked at the weather and they are saying we may get 5-8" of snow tomorrow. This better be the last storm of the winter. I'm beyond ready for Spring!

Have a great weekend!
 
Cheryl Great job on SM 1+3. I hope you don’t get too much snow and the ice melts quickly!

Julie Great job on your heavy upper body and core work! That is great that you got out to enjoy the mild weather and hopefully you don’t get that much snow! Spring is almost here!

This morning I did LITE Metabolic Blast and the calorie crush. I went up in weights for almost everything because she uses really light weights in that one. It felt more like a shoulder workout than anything else, I never noticed that before, but I have only done that one a few times. I’ve got the rest of the day to get packed and ready for the trip. I probably won’t be posting for awhile, so have a great three weeks! It will be spring when we get home

Pam
 
Julie Thanks my mom is doing a lot better now. Doesn't it feel nice when the weather is nice. I bet it felt great to get out and walk the dogs. Good job on your heavy upper body workout and core. I hope you don't get too much snow tomorrow. I am with you on wanting spring to come.

Pam Great work on Metabolic Blast and the calorie crush and upping the weights. Enjoy your trip, I am very jealous :).

This morning I did LITE Rev'd Up Rumble and 6 Pack Abs 1. After that I went to the SPCA to help with transfer. We also became last minute fosters to 2 female rats. It was a very busy afternoon getting the cage set up and them settled. They are in my workout room and the cats are banned from the basement for the time being. The cage is on wheels so I can move them out when I want to workout.

Have a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on LITE MB plus CC before you left! 3 weeks is an awesome vacation to spend there. Hope you have a great time!

Cheryl Great job on LITE RUR plus 6 pack abs! Oh that would be fun keeping the cats from the rats. Do you think they will get adopted fairly quickly? So glad your mom is doing better! We ended up getting a few inches in the afternoon on Friday but it was basically melted by morning.

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and a hike in Lake Tahoe! After that I did some cleaning. Saturday was mobility and forearm stands and a little more chores but I got to relax most of the afternoon. Sunday was my lazy day and this morning I did a heavy lower body workout!

Have a great day!
 
Julie We will have the rats for a while. They were surrendered to one of our cruelty officers and they didn't have the best home life. We need to make sure they are fine before we can adopt them out and I need to take one of them to the vet first thing tomorrow morning for a procedure. Great job on your heavy lower body workouts and hike in Lake Tahoe, your mobility and forearm stands. Glad the snow didn't stay around for you.

So Friday morning I tried to do a workout but for some reason I couldn't get my DVD player to work. I had to take the rats to the vet for a checkup which was a bit of a drive. On my way home it started hailing so it was a bit hard to see. In the afternoon I had to go to the shelter to pick up more things for the rats. It is amazing how much stuff you need. Saturday morning I was really tired and my manager came over in the morning to touch base with how the rats were doing. I did go for a walk in the afternoon with our friend and Zoey so at least it was some exercise. Sunday I really slept in so another workout missed. But I did go to the farmers market to pick up some things. This morning I managed to get my DVD player working and did PHA Training. Then I spent the morning cleaning the rat cage and litter boxes and getting some vacuuming done. I did go for a short walk this afternoon.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Oh that is so sad about the rats. It always makes me mad when I hear people get animals and then don't take care of them. I hope the procedure goes well. Glad you made it home in the hail. Great job on your walk with Zoey and PHA Training! Cleaning cages does not sound like fun but definitely needed.

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout and some core work. I have such a busy day at work. Two interviews and a presentation on top of my regular work and meetings. Ugh!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your heavy upper body workout and core. Oh wow you do have a busy day. I hope it all goes well and also goes by fast for you.

This morning I wanted to get up early and get a workout in but it didn't happen. I had a hard enough time getting up when I had to. I took our rat to the vet and then came back home and had breakfast. After that I went and got groceries and then in the afternoon I did some errands before going back to the vet to pick her up. It all went well and she is doing fine. I hope I can get into a routine again starting tomorrow.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl You've had quite a few busy days lately and you must have needed the rest and sleep. I can't even imagine how they do surgery procedures on such tiny animals like rats. I would think it would require a delicate touch and steady hands. Glad she is doing well.

This morning I did some mobility work and worked on my backbends and forearm and headstands. My backbend and headstands felt pretty good but my forearm stand was not good today. I know it is unrealistic for me to expect everything to be good every day though. After that I did a bike ride in Maui. One of my interviews got cancelled so my day wasn't quite as bad. I do have one today along with some meetings but I am hoping I can cut out of work early and get some groceries while I am in town before heading home.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Good job on your mobility work and your backbends, forearm and headstands. Sometimes you have an off day. Overall you are doing awesome with all of this. The next time you do it it will be better. Good job too on your bike ride in Maui. I hope you could cut out of work early to get groceries.

This morning I did Hard Strikes. It wasn't too bad until the sit up push up combo. That did me in. Then I did a bit of cleaning and then went to take my mom out. We went to the casino again and I won $125 this time on the same machine that I won on last time.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Thank you for that! Sometimes I see other women who make such great progress in such a short amount of time and get frustrated but I have to remember comparison is the thief of joy and they are not me. I will keep plugging along slowly but surely. I ended up being able to leave about an hour early to get my groceries. Great job on HS and that situp/pushup combo is rough! Glad you got to get together with your mom and have some fun winning at the casino!

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout, some core, and a short yoga workout. I am excited for the weekend but so not excited about losing an hours sleep with moving the clocks forward. When will this nonsense stop!

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie Great job on your heavy upper body workout, core and yoga. I hate this nonsense too with moving the clocks ahead and back. I wish we were just done with it.

Thursday I did P30 Upper Body. Then I got the housework done. Friday I did P30 Lower Body and then went to the SPCA to help with our transfer. After that I did a few errands. This morning I took as a day off and got laundry done. I am now going to go for a bit of a walk with our friend and Zoey.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on P30 UB and P30 LB! How are the rats doing? Do you get to play with them? I am not really sure what you do with rats!

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and a hike in Lake Tahoe! After that I did a few things around the house and then took Ruby to the vet for her annual checkup. The vet said she was perfect! Saturday was lower body mobility and some forearm and headstand work then some cleaning. Sunday was my lazy day. This morning I did a heavy lower body workout. I have to drop Gunner off at the vet soon for a biopsy on his nose. We couldn't feed them this morning and they kept following me around all morning because they thought I forgot to feed them.

Have a great day!
 
Julie The rats are doing well though the one who had surgery had her incision open up yesterday. I took her to the vet this afternoon and it is infected so I will need to take her to the vet again tomorrow morning to have the infection cut out and stitched back up again. You don't really play with rats but you can teach them to do tricks and they do like to hang out on your shoulder and keep you company. The situation these girls came from wasn't the best so it will take some time for them to be able to trust people. Great job on your lower body workouts and hike in Lake Tahoe, your lower body mobility and forearm and headstand work. That is great news about Ruby and I hope everything goes well for Gunner and his biopsy.

So our dragon boat is back in the water so we went out for our first paddle Sunday morning. It felt great to be back out on the water. Then in the afternoon we went for a short walk with our friend and Zoey. This morning I met up with a friend for a walk then came home and did a little bit of cleaning. In the afternoon I took Janice to the vet to have her incision looked at.

Have a great day.
