Strength in Numbers

Cheryl Great job on BBTB and your walk! I love it when you can sit outside for dinner! We get so much pollen here that just when it starts getting warm enough it’s hard to be outside because of the pollen clouds and everything is yellow. The pollen is almost done now, so we are ready for some al fresco dining!

Julie When the kides tell us where they want to shope someone usually calls and lets the stores know. They don’t always do anything special, but it’s really nice when they do. Great job on your heavy UB and hip flexor strenghtening. You will have to let us know how the program works.

This morning I did STS Total Body. I hate the burn sets in that one, but other than that I like it. Now I need to do some more yard work to get ready for mulching. UGH, I am not looking forward to that, but it needs to be done. Have a great day!

Julie Good job on your heavy upper body workout and hip flexor strengthening exercises. My hip flexors are weak too and could use some strengthening. It could be that Gunny doesn't want to pee in the rain and holds it in. It is always a guessing game when you are trying to figure out what is going on.

Pam We don't have any pollen yet but it is coming. It needs to warm up more here. Good work on STS Total Body. UGH mulching, it will be nice when it is done though.

This morning I did P30 LI HiiT. Then I went and got groceries. It was nice out again so we sat outside for a bit and chatted with our new neighbours. I was getting ready to make dinner when our friend called and asked if we could pick Zoey up from doggy daycare. He had a bad day at work and was about a 3 hour drive from getting home. So we picked her up for him and had a stylish late dinner :D.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on STS TB! Oh boy mulching time is coming. That is when you buy truckloads of mulch right?

Cheryl Great job on P30 LI HiiT! That is so nice that you were able to get Zoey for your neighbor.

This morning I had a tough time wanting to work out but I did it. I did some work on my shoulder mobility and backbends and then did a bike ride in the Azores. Such a beautiful place!

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on P30 LI Hiit! That was so nice of you to pick Zoey up for your neighbor. I don’t know what he would do without you!

Julie Yes, truckloads of mulch are in my future…... Great job on getting in a workout when you weren’t feeling like it. I’ve heard that the Azores are beautiful, it sounds like a nice place to ride.

This morning I did Revved up Rumble with the calorie crush and 6 pack abs. Yesterday I did some more clearing leaves out of the beds and trimmed a bunch of bushes. I still have more work to do before I can mulch, but I’m getting there. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good for you in working out when you didn't want to. Good job on your shoulder mobility work and backbends and your bike ride in the Azores.

Pam Great job on Rev'd Up Rumble + Calorie Cruch + 6 Pack Abs. Yard work isn't too much fun but it will look nice when you are done.

This morning I was really dehydrated. I did not drink enough water these last few days so I had no energy for working out. I did get to Costco though, it was busy but not too crazy. Then in the afternoon I took our foster rats to the vet for a check up and everything was good.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on RUR plus CC and 6 pack abs! All that yard work has to be a great upper body and core workout.

Cheryl Dehydration definitely zaps your energy. I have a hard time getting enough water in the days I am in the office for some reason. I am glad the rats checkup was good. Is the little girl out of her tiny cone yet? We have to go to Costco soon and I am trying to build up the energy for it.

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout and some more work on my hip flexors. We are supposed to be in the high 60s today and maybe 70 tomorrow but we are also getting heavy thunderstorms tomorrow that will cool off the weekend to the 40s and 50s. As long as we stay above freezing and the temps keep going up, I am happy!

Have a great weekend!
 
Cheryl It’s hard to drink enough water. So many times I just forget about it. Hopefully you will get yourself re-hydrated and feeling better! I have been postponing going to Costco all week. I will probably have to go soon, but it is definitely something I need to be in the right mood for. I’m glad to hear that your rats are doing well!

Julie Great job on your heavy upper body and hip flexor work! Our temperatures keep doing a roller coaster right now, but seem to be trending higher which is what I like to see!

This morning I did Chiseled Upper Body and did a premix that does the whole thing and then repeats the standing part to make it almost an hour. I went higher in weights than Cathe on almost all of the exercises because she uses really light weight in that one. It was still a nice fairly light workout. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Yes the little girl is out of her cone. She wasn't doing well with it on so the vet took it off and it went well after that. Good job on your heavy upper body workout and work on your hip flexors. I hope you have a good weekend and that the temperatures keep going up.

Pam Great work on Chiseled Upper Body. Costco is definitely something you need to be in the mood for.

This morning I did Boss Bands Glutes and Core. Then I went to the SPCA to help with our transfer. We got 1 guinea pig 2 mice and 7 cats. It took a while but they are now all ready to be adopted out.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on BBG+C! That sounds like a busy day at the SPCA!

DH left on Thursday to race so I went for a bike ride by myself yesterday. It was a nice day and it felt a lot better than last weeks ride. This morning was Afterburn Double Trouble and the abs from Lean Legs and abs. It’s really windy here today so I think the yard work will be on hold for the day. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on your bike ride and AB Double Trouble and the abs from Lean Legs and Abs. It has been windy here for the last several days too,

Friday I did Step Sync and then I went out to my mom's. She isn't doing too well. I needed to do some things for her as she has no energy anymore and she really isn't eating. Saturday I went dragon boating with the team I helped out last year. The coach asked if I would come out and at least spare for them since I can't be on two women's teams at the same time. Then in the afternoon I got the housework done. Today I went out with my team. It was really cold out and the snow line has dropped. The rain held off until the very end when we were getting back to the dock. Another foster picked up the rats today. My mom has gone back into the hospital so it is great that she can take them. My brother is with her right now and we are waiting on what the doctors say.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on CUB premix! That is a nice feeling when you go heavier than Cathe! Great job on your solo bike ride and AB DT plus LLA abs! I hope the wind has calmed down for you.

Cheryl Great job on BB G&C! Wow that is a big transfer and how awesome they are all adopted out already. Great job on SS! Oh I am so sorry your mom isn't feeling well still and not wanting to eat. How lucky the rain held off for you until you returned to the dock. I am so sorry your mom is back in the hospital. Maybe they can help her feeling better.

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and a hike in the Scottish Highlands! After that I did some cleaning and then we had some major storms in the afternoon that brought high winds, flash flooding, and hail. Luckily we did not have any damage except one small section of siding but DH luckily knows how to replace it. Saturday I did a lower body mobility workout and worked on my forearm and headstands. Then DH and I went out to lunch with my parents. Sunday was my lazy day but Gunner gave us quite a surprise. He decided when we let him out that he was going to catch a bunny. We couldn't get him to drop it outside so he brought it in the house and we finally got him to drop it. We had to quarantine the dogs in the bathroom while DH picked it up. By some miracle, Gunner did not hurt it. No blood and DH was able to watch it hop away. Poor thing was so scared and crying. This morning I did a heavy lower body workout.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on SS. So sorry to hear your mom is not doing well and is back in the hospital. I hope they are able To figure out what is going on and get her feeling well! It’s nice that you were able to go dragon boating and that they rain held off until you were done. It doesn’t sound like much fun doing it when it is so cold though.

Julie Great job on your lower body workout and hike! That is good that you didn’t have much damage from the hail. It can be pretty scary sometimes! Great job on your lower body mobility workout and forearm and headstands too. That is quite the surprise from Gunner and amazing that the bunny wasn’t hurt. I’m glad you were able to save it! Great job on your heavy lower body workout!

Yesterday was my rest day and I worked in the yard most of the day. I’m still not ready to start mulch, but finally am getting close. It’s been hard on my back because it’s so much bending over to get leaves out from under bushes. I will be glad when it’s done! This morning was Step Blast and the abs from SJP. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your heavy lower body workouts and hike in the Scottish Highlands. That was some crazy storms, glad that you didn't have much damage. Good job too on your lower body mobility workout and working on your forearm and headstands. That was quite a surprise from Gunner. That is great that he didn't hurt the bunny but I bet the poor thing was scared to death.

Pam Yard work is hard on the back, I know you will be happy when it is all done. Good work on Step Blast and the abs from SJP.

So my mom ended up having a urinary tract infection. So this morning after doing LITE Metabolic Blast I went out there to get her prescription filled for antibiotics. She was doing a lot better and she was actually hungry this morning for breakfast. I hope we are now finally heading in the right direction. Tonight was our first evening dragon boat paddle. We are getting ready for our first regatta which is at the end of the month.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Sounds like your rest day was more of active recovery with all that yard work. I imagine that would be hard on your low back having to get under the bushes. Great job on SB plus SJP abs!

Cheryl Oh I have had a UTI before and it is awful. I am glad she is feeling better and started eating too. Great job on LITE MB!

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout and worked my hip flexors some more. We are supposed to get more storms tonight and into tomorrow. I hope they are wrong.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I’m so glad that they figured out what was going on with your mom and that she is starting to feel better. Hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick. Great job on MB and your dragon boating.

Julie Great job on your heavy upper body workout and hip flexor work. I hope if you get more storms they aren’t too bad.

This morning was PHA training. It’s my least favorite of the 3 PHA workouts, but I still like it. I did get the rest of the yard cleanup done yesterday, so now it’s ready for mulch. I’m going to wait a couple of days to start on that though to give my back a rest. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your heavy upper body workout and working on your hip flexors. I hope you don't get the storms that they said you would.

Pam Great work on PHA Training. That is my least favorite too but I still like it. That is great that you got the last of your cleanup done. Mulching will be hard on your back too so good idea to give it a bit of a break.

This morning I did LITE Cardio Party + SB Extended Chair Stretch. Then I got groceries and did a short walk this afternoon.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on PHA! I agree that the 2nd and 3rd PHAs are better than the original but still good. That's good thinking to let your back rest before working on the mulch.

Cheryl Great job on LITE CP + SB Ext Chair Stretch plus your walk!

This morning I did some mobility and backbends work plus a ride in Costa Rica! I had to dig deep to move myself to working out because I really wanted to sleep in with the dogs. It was 70 at 3am this morning. We didn't get the storm last night but it is supposed to start soon and then we drop into the 50s by tonight.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on CP and ECS and your walk!

Julie Great job on your mobility work, backbends, and ride! Wow, 70 at 3 am is warm, too bad that warm weather isn’t staying!

This morning was Hard Strikes and Core 1. I was an entire set behind Cathe and the crew on the su/pu combos, but I slogged through it. I considered skipping core 1 since there is already a lot of core work in that workout, but I took a pause for a bit and then toughed it out. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your mobility and backbend work plus your ride in Costa Rica. 70 degrees at 3am is warm. I hope you don't get the storms at all.

Pam Great work on Hard Strikes and Core 1. That is a lot of core work.

This morning I did LITE Pyramid Upper Body. Then we went out to my mom's to get her out for a bit. We went to the casino but we didn't have any luck at all this time.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on HS plus Core 1! I used to slow down the DVD speed when I did the su/pu combo so that I could keep pace with Cathe.

Cheryl Great job on LITE PUB! I am glad your mom was feeling up to going out.

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout and some more hip flexor work. I am so glad it is my Friday. I have woken up with a slightly scratchy throat the last two mornings. I goes away pretty quickly but I am thinking I need a little rest so looking forward to sleeping in.

Have a great day!
