Strength in Numbers

PamWhat rotation are you doing? I might do the same as Julie put that one on the list for next year!! LOL I've being doing legs twice per week and I don't get to too bad sore only my calves, but I have the feeling that today is that day because my butt muscles were cramping when I was working out this morning.:confused:.. I will remind you to watter the flowers that would be so bad if they die:( I think any chili loaded with sour cream and Frito's is not healthy at all, I haven't have that kind of chili for a good while my in-law made a deer chili soooo good!! But sooo bad!:eek: That would be so funny to watch that poor guys passing out, when DH told me about it I was just picturing him inside his vehicle with all the guys, real duty and stinky, that was when he went to "Operation Iraqi Freedom" Oh me too I would be so grumpy and shaky...Oh poor legs of yours the kick boxing from 4DS sure it has a lot of squatting, men the rest of the week looks tough you have lot of hard workouts on your list:p . The past 2-3 times I'd stooped after the 30 min is not hard, is weird because I didn't get to do the whole thing :confused:


Julie I love the S&H program that would give you the bump it is real hard to work that way s-l-o-w and HEAVY, but a good one for sure good job. Now I can picture you laughing by your self "hehehe!! I did it again DOMS!!!"
Don't feel bad about Oscar, I think is pretty cute what you want to do the memory book of him, that is so sweet, and knowing how determine you are you'll figure out how to do it. Sam and I am sending you (((hugs))) and some some licks!:p:p:p

I just finish my leg workout, it was an kind of easy one, I would love to go to the gym to get it done and see how it goes doing the actual workout using the gym machines OHHH but I'm going to do it again when we get back to the states or if I can grow the courage to go to the gym by my self.... Is early and I'm done woohooo!!! yesterday I spend the morning cleaning so it did pay off, today I don't have a lot to do, only clean Sam duty paws marks that he left in the kitchen floor because of him going outside in the morning the grass is wet, I tried to clean his paws before but I didn't have anything handy to do it.. So maybe after all today I'm going to have time to watch my shows yaya!!! Have a good day!!!
 
Dad and I love 2nd handing. Sooooo much fun. He makes people come alive with all his teasing and charm. What a guy! I bought a sweatshirt, heavy duty nighty for the cold nights at the beach house, a lounging chair that is remarkable and only $7.00 (will go nicely on the porch of the Beach House), a dog bed that Rolly won't get out of, and a couple of tops. All in all, a very good day.:D

Eunice, How is Sam I am? Great job on shoulder, AS, and lots of housework. Good for you!

Pam, Great job on 4 DS kickbox. Wow, your poor legs!:confused: Very proud of you.

Julie, Great job on S&H Chest, back and triceps. That on is a toughie. I think your DOM hope will come true. ;) I think Dad likes to be around people what ever they are doing. He's such a wonderful person to be around. He has a lot of charisma. Oh, Julie, I still sometimes think I could have helped my Molly better. If you could have helped Oscar in any other way, you would have done it. You did everything right. For some odd reason (I sure can't explain why) his time came. You gave him a beautiful gift of not having to suffer. To me you were brave, and totally not selfish. You also gave him peace. I think that was pure love. And you gave him a wonderful life. (((((hugs))))).

Eunice, Great job on your leg workout. Give Sam a pet for me. He's just doing doggy things, and he's happy. You are a great mommy to him.

Janie
 
Julie Great job on S&H chest Back and Trieps! I hop eyou are enjoying those DOMS!
I had no idea what to set up for High Reps so I just pulled stuff out as I needed it and then ended up with stuff everywhere. I usually take the easy way out when I'm home alone too, but that is typically a salad or microwave popcorn. I decided not to be so lazy this time! Awww, poor Maggie, give her extra hugs too. I do think you continue to feel their presence for awhile after they're gone. I remember after my kitty Zeke died that I kept finding myself looking for him in his usual spots. I think the memory book is a great idea. My nice made one for my sister when her cat was killed earlier this year and she really enjoys looking through it. It's a really nice memory.
The rotation I'm doing is Cathe's April 2011 one. It's a toughie, especially this last week. I have her new October one in the calendar starting next week and it looks like a doozie too. She suggests upping your protein by 0%, so you have to believe it's gonna be trouble!

Eunice It's Cathe's April 2011 rotation, check it out! It is a goodie! Uh oh, cramping butt muscles doesn't sound good. I bet you are enjoying some butt DOMS now. You will need to get DH to rub it for you :p Oh fritos on chili, now you're talking! ;) OMG, I would NOT want to be in that vehile with all of those dirty stinky guys! I bet it still smells in there! :D;)
Great job on your leg workout, even if it was kind've easy! You shouldn't be afraid to go to the gyn by yourself - you are a brave girl, go for it! I hope you got time to watch your shows!

Janie So glad you are having fun 2nd handing with our dad. How sweet that he is so charming a cute. Wow, you got some amazing bargains too! You are going to be all ready for that beach house! That lucky Rolly even got a new bed, good for him!

Well this morning was Cardio Fusion. I haven't done that one in a LONG time and I forgot how hard it was! it sure it hard to do all of those Drill Max drills at the end when you are already tired. But I made it. Now just one more workout til a rest day!! :D Happy weekend everyone, I'm off to the airport to pick up DH. He is coming home a day early! :D

Pam
 
This morning I did Imax. I was super tired and had a hard time keeping my energy up for the whole thing but I did it. Last night I got to bed late because we were visiting with our neighbor. He works in a tire place that replaces the big tires on semi trucks, tractors, and farm equipment. Last Saturday, he had a big tire blow up in his face. He is lucky to be alive let alone still have sight in both eyes. He did have a crushed eye socket and cheek bone, a broken nose, and a fractured jaw. He now has a metal plate for his eye socket and cheek bone. Yesterday was his first day home since it happened. He’s the neighbor that Oscar always would wander out of our yard and go sit on his back porch until he opened the door and gave him a treat or cheese. Then Oscar would come back home.

Eunice Great job on your leg workout! I would love to be able to lift real heavy with my legs too but it is tough when you workout alone. Maybe someday we’ll be able to do it. Gotta love it when your pup leaves paw prints on your floor. That always happens to me right after I mop the floor. I need to do some serious cleaning but just haven’t been up to it lately. Plus this weekend we need to get some errands done so won’t have time until maybe next weekend. I do love the Slow & Heavy series. I am having some seriously wonderful DOMS. Next week is Pure Strength and I can’t wait to see what that brings!

Janie Sounds like a very productive and good shopping trip! Deals like that are always a good find but can be difficult to come across often. Your dad does sound like he enjoys life and would be fun to be around. I am so glad you are having a good time with him. Thank you so much for the kind words about Oscar. I teared up but I know what you are saying is true.

Pam Great job on CF! Oh yes, you finish LIC and then suddenly you remember the 6 drills from DM! I do the popcorn thing for dinner too sometimes. I have an air popper though and usually end up sprinkling some kind of seasoning on it. Jalapeno seasoning is so good! Maggie is definitely getting extra hugs from everyone. That was really sweet of your neice to make a memory book for your sister. Lucky you to have DH coming home early. Now what to cook him for dinner? Popcorn or salad?

Have a good day!
 
Janie Reposting is a pain and you can never remember exactly what you wrote the first time. Both my DH and SIL love to go to Thrift stores and second hand stores. I don't mind it either, sometimes you can find some really good deals.

Eunice Australia would have it on December 26th as well. Both Australia and Canada are part of the British Commonwealth so we would follow British tradition. Glad to hear the DH is doing his exercises carefully. You don't want him to injure himself again. Good job on Athletic Step.

Pam That CCC premix did feel like a Hiit workout. I was hoping that it might be easier (What was I thinking :rolleyes:) but without the ab work it was harder. I am with you that company is nice but it is nice to get back to the old routine. You are really giving it to your legs this week aren't you :D. Good job on 4DS Kickbox and Cardio Fusion. You are really going to enjoy your rest day.

Julie Good job on S&H Chest and Back. The S&H series is one that I really like. Doing the premix of CCC is super tough. I think I would prefer to do the whole workout instead of that premix :D. I could be working on legs harder on the slide workouts, I never really thought about it. All I knew is that it was too much on my back to try to get low enough to put them down. The excerises move fairly fast too so that doesn't help either. It will take time for things to get back to normal. You never know Oscar could be with you, I have had those feelings before too that a pet or someone is there with you. Your friend is really lucky that he wasn't killed. I hope he gets better soon.

Well today we brought my SIL to her son's place as him and his wife were going to drive her to the airport. It was nice to have her visit but it is also nice to get back to normal. I gave up my bedroom for the past two weeks and it is going to feel sooooo good to sleep in my bed again. Yesterday I did STS Disk 14 Legs. Today I was going to do Step Moves but I was way too tired to even get out of bed. I have been dragging my butt all day and I can hardly wait to go back to bed :eek:. Tomorrow I should be back in the swing of things.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Cheryl
 
Janie How fun going 2nd handing with your dad, a little secret I love granpas they are so cute and so fun to be around of, granddaddy was a real nice guy I remember the first time I met him I told to hubby, "I love your granddaddy, his sooo cute" He looked at me weird that was when I first met his family so I guess it was awkward for me to say something like that, but I did.
Looks like you got great deals! Sam is good, thanks so spoiled and so cute!

Pam If I had the chance to be by my self I would eat only pancakes, hmmm protein pancake hahaha!!:p April rotation hmm I'm going to look at it, I'm thinking that when I finish with what I'm doing I'm going to finish STS I have meso 3 to finish:confused: Cramping muscles is the perfect excuse to get hubby's massage:D:D Hahaha!! I don't think it is smelling anymore that vehicle got blown out while they were there, I know very scary!:eek: Guess what??? Today I made DH took me to the gym.... and I liked it! I was just asking him "OK, I need to do this and he would show me how and where and set everything for me" I know I liked that way, I think I'm going to take your advise and go, it doesn't matter if I'm alone there was a few guys working out too, I thought I was going to feel weird being the only female, I kind of feel good and proud of my self because I know what I'm doing!!! Ohhhh but I'm going to be sore tomorrow:confused: Good job doing CF, a toughie one, wow you almost done with this rotation, are you taking a rest week? WOOOHOOO!!! I bet you are excited about going to get your honey!! You should play a joke on him;)

Julie IMAX is a supper, duper tough workout and if you haven't had a proper rest, sleep, eat, sad :( OMG you are going to feel it, good for you for finishing it ... How you doing today? OMG how sad what had happen to your neighbor that sounds like a real ugly accident, how is that he still have sight in both eyes but he has a metal plate for his eye socket? that must had being real scare for the family. I know! Kids, DH or Sam always make me work double, I'd yell at DH because right after I'm done with the floors he would walk from the entrance to the kitchen with ditty, muddy shoes:mad: that turns me into "hulk" green and all the colors of the rainbow, then when is Sam, he say how "you don't get mad at Sam?" hello, he doesn't know better you do. I prefer S&H over the PS series, have you done it before? lets see which one you like better!!!

Cheryl Hahaha!! Now I feel silly:eek: Duhhh!!! That tells you that I don't know anything about AS or Canada!:p Today I went with him to the gym and I saw how careful he is.......... NOTHING:mad: but he ensure me that if it hurts the bad way he would stop, let's hope so! Awww so nice that you have your bed back all for your self, don't worry about today, tomorrow its going to be a better day.

Today I did back and 30 min cardio, like I say before I went to the gym with DH and it was real fun to go, we used to go to the gym a lot back at home but over here kind of NOT! I'm going to go back to do leg workout next week I like that they have all I need for my workouts, I did dead lifts with 45lb bar + 20Lb on the side (we don't have 20Lb at home we only have 4-plate of 5's and 2 plates of 2.5lb) and it did felt great, my HR was high up... also I played a little bit with the leg extensions and legs curls,I really liked those too. And I did the treadmill for 30 min...Well ladies have a great weekend and I'll talk to you latter!!!!
 
Dad did the warm up of TBS and Joe and I did that plus abs and stretches. My sister called and told us she will be back a day early. So, that means I have to give up Dad a day early. I was meant to have this little time with Dad. I thoroughly enjoyed him, and even got to know him better. tomorrow will take a trip to Seattle so he can visit with one of his son's (my brother) Alger. Then back home for dad to pack and get ready to go back home on Sun. I'm going to miss him so very much. I'll be worried for him until he gets into an apt. I'll keep tabs on him and so will one of my other sisters, who lives a lot closer than me to keep an eye on him. Wish I didn't have to let him go.:( Dad even taught Rolly how to stand up. So cute.

Eunice, Great job on back and 30 min. of cardio and double great for doing what you did in the gym. I'm glad you and hubby went to the gym together like old times. Yep, grandpas are terrific human beings.:D

Pam, Great job on Cardio Fusion. Whew! Enjoy your hubby being home. Have a terrific weekend.

Julie, Great job on Imax. OMG! Your poor neighbor! I'm glad things worked out OK for him. Animals know who are kind people. (((((Hugs, it takes time))))).

Cheryl, It was kind of you to give up your bed. Joey has given up his bed for my father. It is nice to get back to normal. I think Joey will like his bed again too. Poor guy. Great job yesterday for STS disc 14 legs.

Enjoy the weekend everyone,

Janie
 
Julie Great job on Imax. That had to have been a real struggle when you were tired, it is a toughie when you have a lot of energy! Wow, what a terrible accident that your neighbor had. Thank goodness he wasn't killed but he sounds like he has a long recovery ahead of him. How sweet that Oscar would go over and wait for a treat :)
Wow, that popcorn with jalapeno seasoning sounds really really good. Where do you get the jalapeno seasoning? It is specially for popcorn? You are a funny girl! DH didn't get popcorn OR salad for dinner! We have this shop called the Meat House that has all these different kinds of marinated meats and I went and picked up some burgundy marinated steak tips. They are so good! The kids got very excited when they saw we were having them, they just love them.

Cheryl Well I guess that was quite a nasty surprise thinking the CCC cardio only premix would be easier. Oh yea, my legs have really been taking a beating this week, but the good news is that I'm done with today's workout and tomorrow is a rest day.
I'm sure you will be glad to get back to your routine. That would not be fun giving up your bed for 2 weeks!!!

Eunice I can only eat pancakes for breakfast. I don't like breakfast foods at any other time of day. I know a lot of people that like breakfast for dinner but I hate it. What do you put in your protein pancakes? Some of that nasty protein powder?? ;):rolleyes:
That's right, you were right in the middle of an STS rotation when you started Jamie's program. Will you pick up where you left off? Good for you for going to the gym! I bet it was fun to go with DH too. It was nice of him to get everything set up for you. I don't think you should worry about going by yourself either. You'll notice that everybody is really just doing their own thing and not worrying about what other people are doing. Plus I bet if you look around you'll discover that your form is better than most of the guys in there. :) OMG, I don't want to hear that about the vehicle getting blown up, how scary!
You'll be happy to know that I just planned another mini vacation. We were going to go to Charleston in September but couldn't work out dates for it, so we are going the first weekend in November. I just made the reservations! :D
Great job on back and cardio.

Janie Great job on TBS, abs and stretches! Awww, sorry to hear your day is going to be leaving soon. I'm so happy that you had such a nice time together! I know it was really special for you. I hope he is able to get into his apartment soon. Does your sister know about the apartment? Hopefully that won't cause too much of a stir. It sounds like he really enjoyed his time with you too!

This morning was my last day of this crazy rotation and I ended it with a bang with STS Total body. Another one that left equipment scattered everywhere. I already did a little planting today too. Nothing crazy like last week though, just 3 mums by the mail box. It's easy to dig there too because it's all soil that we put down so it was a piece of cake. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Pam
 
Eunice Don't feel silly. It is hard to know what each country celebrates unless you live there. Nice that you are going to the gym. Don't worry about going by yourself because everyone will be doing their own thing. I am really happy to have my bed back, I missed it :). Good job on your cardio. I think you can work your legs better in a gym because of all the equipment that you don't have in your home.

Janie Too bad that your sister is coming back early. Can't you keep your Dad for a while longer? Do you know when your Dad can move into his apartment, is it the beginning of November? It is hard giving up your bed, I am sure Joey will enjoy getting his back too.

Pam It was a nasty surprise that CCC cardio only premix wasn't easier and I was tired too. Oh well I will know for next time. You really did give your legs a major workout this week, you will really enjoy your day off. STS Total Body is another one where you can't be neat with your weights. I have a major mess when I have finished with that one too. Two weeks is the max for giving up my bed, it felt so good to sleep in it again. Nice that you get another mini vacation. Scary to think that the first weekend in November isn't that far off.

Today was STS disk 15 Back and Biceps. I had such a good sleep last night, I could have slept longer but the boys were crawling all over me wanting to be fed :rolleyes:. It was a really nice day out today. I got the boys out so they could enjoy the sunshine and I cleaned up fallen leaves. That is the only thing I hate about the tree that is there is cleaning up all the leaves and it is just beginning.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Cheryl
 
JanieAww so sad that your dad had to go back to his house, I'm sure his going to miss you too, so glad that you got yo spent time with him and even workout with him, that was so sweet! I can't wait to go back to the gym with my hubby again.

PamYou know me, it has to have some kind of nastiness if not that's not me:p See you saw my new adventure, Kangaroo mince( I still have the flavor in my mouth after having 2 huge glasses of water) hahah!! Well back to the breakfast, we are that kind of people that loke to have breakfast for dinner, the day we went to Melbourne we were looking for a place called the "pancake factory" it was close that day so when we got home that what we had for dinner, of course mine were protein ones.:p I'm not sure yet, I think I would pick where I left, meso 3.. I know Dh can be very helpful some times, I'm going back this week to the gym:eek: OK I won't tell you the whole story about the vehicle:( Good for your mini vacation, where is Charleston? it has to be related to water, Pam= water= ski=fun=JK I'll go goggle it.:p So proud of you for finishing the rotation you finished strong, yayay!!! OMG more digging good to know that it wasn't that bad.

Cheryl You are right, that's why I have to go to the gym even if I don't want so I'm going to start this week.:D Good job doing disc 15 back/biceps see you are moving along!!! Oh yayay!! for the good night sleeps too, so funny boys that you have, they don't let you sleep, but at least you had a good day. I would not like to clean all those leaves either, oh but its going to look much better.

Today I did legs OMG it was a hard one, Jamie is using the method of supper sets and active recovery sets, so that means that there is not rest in between sets at all, and we get to do plyo moves as well, so yes I was tired and my legs were shaking... Let me tell you my new adventure, yesterday I bought Kangaroo Mince and I made mince muffins (I don't want to say the name anymore) so I had 2 meatballs for snack today they were ok, after is all gone I don't think I will be buying any more, it was "One time ONLY" so I can say that I had some. DH haven't have any yet but his going to try it as well, the girls I don't know if I'm going to be successful on that one, will see... Well I got to go as we speak or as I type Sam is getting a bath, a lady come on Base to do grooming I did called her yesterday Sam needed one.
Have a great day.
 
Cheryl I'm glad you had such a nice sleep once you got your bed back. I sure wish I could get my cats trained not to wake me up in the morning, but they sure are on strict schedules aren't they?! I know, I can't believe that the first weekend in November is almost here. It felt like summer here this weekend though and is supposed to be in the 80's again today. After that it looks like we are in for some cool weather though - mid 60's the rest of the week :( I want summer back!

Great job on disc 15! I hate cleaning up the leaves too, but it's a lot easier with a blower than when we had to rake them all the time. I am a big fan of the blower!


Eunice Oh my, I think I would've been afraid of those kangaroo meatballs, but I guess you have to try it once at least huh? Yea, i'm glad to hear that you're going to go back to the gym this week. I used to love going to the gym, but now I feel a little spoiled about working out at home. It was nice to get out and see some other people though. Charleston is in South Carolina, near Hilton Head Island. I think it's about 5-6 hours for us to drive there. It's a historic town - at least as historic as we can get over here in the US I guess :confused:It is on the water, but I don't think we will be doing any water activities. You never know though!
Great job with you leg super sets. That active recovery is cruel isn't it? I can't remember which one of Cathe's leg workouts is like that, Leaner Legs maybe? Hahahahahahahaha, you don't think the girls will try the kangaroo meat huh? You shouldn't have told them what it was until after they tried it! ;) Oh that Sam is going to be all spiffed up! You better not let him go swimming for awhile after that!

This morning for me was Body Max 2. Boy that is one long workout, but it doesn't feel as long as it is. The upper body part really goes by fast for me. It was tough having such a long one on Monday morning though! I hope everyone has a great day!

Pam
 
So I was a bad girl and didn’t post over the weekend. I did workout though. I got 45 minutes of spinning and CTX Upper Body Split in on Saturday. I was toast after that but had a ton of errands to run and we went out to eat with my parents for my dad’s 67th birthday. This morning I was so tired, I slept in a little and only had time to do half my workout. I did Pure Strength Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps. If I feel up to it, I will do the Core Max segment I was supposed to do this morning when I get home.

Cheryl Great job on disk 14! I don’t know about you but those trisets in M2 legs really tire me out. I would love to have my own bed but I haven’t convinced DH yet. If I did have my own bed, I couldn’t imagine going without it for very long. Great job on on disk 15 too! Raking after that was probably like a mini workout in itself. DH and I are terrible and don’t rake the leaves. We just mow over them. What bad boys for not letting you sleep! Just kidding, Oscar would not let us sleep in and miss his feeding time. Maggie on the other hand doesn’t wake us up often to get fed. She just lays there with us until we get up.

Eunice Great job on back and 30 min. cardio! That was really sweet of your DH to take you to the gym. Wow! An 85 lb. deadlift is quite impressive. I can’t hold that kind of weight for more than a couple reps because my forearms are so weak. I’m amazed at what medical science can do with using metal plates to reconstruct people’s faces. Your story of DH messing up your floors reminds me of my DH! When he makes sandwiches on the counter, he doesn’t even think about cleaning up the crumbs by sweeping them into the sink. He just wipes them off the counter and on to the floor! No matter how mad I get, he never learns. Great job on legs! You are one brave chica for trying that meat that won’t be named! I don’t think I could. I can’t eat lamb meat either because they are too darn cute.

Janie Great job on TBS, abs, and stretches with your dad and Joey! Bummer your dad is going back a day early since you guys are having so much fun. Yes, you will feel so much better knowing your dad is in his own apartment and happy again. Hopefully, your sister will see this as a good thing for your dad and not get upset or try to talk him out of it. How cute that Rolly learned a new trick. My sister taught her dog how to stand up and spin for a treat. It is the cutest thing ever.

Pam Great job on STS TB and finishing out the leg killer April rotation! I bet you are thrilled to be done with that rotation. The jalapeno seasoning is made specifically for popcorn. It is Kernel Seasonings. They have a ton of flavors and I like them all except the barbecue (I haven’t tried the Cajun or salt & vinegar yet). Actually I use the barbecue on baked tofu but don’t like it on popcorn. Great job on BM2! That one is long and your pretty spent by the time you get to the upper body portion.

Have a great day!
 
I miss my Daddy! It was so much fun having him around. I'm grateful for the one on one time with. I've learned so much about him in this short time then when I was living with him growing up and after I moved away. I love him dearly. He will be getting an apt. soon. My dad will tell my sister Joy (who he's living with) what he is planning on doing. It should take a couple of months. He can't wait!

Pam, Great job on BM2. You are so right. Cathe does such a great job that you don't even realize you are on a long workout.

Julie, Great job on your weekend workouts; 45 of spinning, CTX Upper Body. And for today's PS Chest, shoulders and triceps. Good to see you celebrated your father's birthday. Did he enjoy himself?

Cheryl, Great job on STS disc 15; Back and biceps. Glad to see you are getting much needed rest. It's a really nice day out today for us. Love these Fall sunny days.

Eunice, Great job on your leg workouts, they are (at least for me) always tough. Eating Kangaroo meat is adventurous. At least you tried it. Good for you. I once tried Moose meat. Not to bad, but just a little gamey. Won't do it again though.

Have a good one ladies,

Janie
 
Pam Today I went to the gym after walking the girls to school, Oh boy! the gym was empty all for my self, so nothing like going out to see people:confused: well I got 17 meatballs from the meat I just had 4 and DH had 2, so funny I was pushing DH to eat the meatballs yesterday but I had to leave to the swimming class and I was telling him that I wanted to see him eat the meatballs, he was confused and when he finally had them, I was asking him how the were, he say "they are pretty good" really? well just before going to bed he knew what it was his face was :eek: like that face!! Sounds like a nice place to go for a vacation, I hope you get nice weather then.. I was thinking about what Cathe's dvd would be like that with the active recovery rest...I don't remember leaner legs I think is Lower body blast?? You know so funny, the girls are always wanting to eat my turkey muffins and I've being offering the food this time and they don't want it!:eek:they don't know what it is yet!OOHHH my cute boy is so soft and so clean now, last Sunday he ripped his leash so I need to get another one so we cannot go for a walk for now and you are right his not allowed to get duty! Good job doing BM2 yes another long workout but so fun one I love the music on that one.

JulieBad girl, bad girl!! JK Not your not, you are fine I usually don't post on Sundays some time even Saturday, those days my house are a chaos so I don't have the quiet moment to my self. Good job doing your workouts, Spinning and CTX good girls! Those errands are never over huh? Sounds like a fun night going out to dinner with your dad so fun! I think you did pretty good staying on bed for a little longer even if you did only half of the workout, don't push your self to to hard, listen to your body!! Who I'm to say that I have hard time listening to my body sometimes, but anothers I listen to hard and is when I have a lazy day!!! Not as much as Pam she can do 95Lb deadlifts my 85 is not that bad! Well I'm glad your neighbor survived that horrible accident I'm sure that his family is... OMG! don't even tell me about cleaning after them selfs:mad: sometimes he does and another ones I have to do it too, something that I hate very much is the close on the bed foot :mad: he always leave everything there, his uniforms, WO clothes, sometime I throw it to the corner and he knows that I hate that but he won't get it either:mad: You are funny, I think you say that you don't eat beef either? are you vegetarian?

Janie So your dad is gone:( aww! I know how you feel, when my mom come to visit us in the US is always soooo sad to let her go:( So glad that you had the chance to be with him and have good times! I hope he gets to move into his own app very soon! DH is asking me if I'm going to get more meat after that one is gone! Hhhhhmmmm I don't know, today I had them for snack after my killer WO, and they were very tasty!! Moose meat, I think that is even more adventurous!!!



I cannot believe that my day is going to fast!!!! I went to the gym to do Back/biceps and 30 min cardio I walked going down and coming back home and I'm sooooo tired, I need to get some fuel!! It took me 2 hours to finish that WO, it did had active recovery rest and supper sets, so I did the jumping rope for a min, very tired now..
Have a good day everyone.;):D
 
Eunice Our boys do have their own schedule that is for sure. Not too many leaves have fallen yet but there are thousands yet to fall from that tree :eek:. Sounds like you had a good leg workout. Oh those recovery sets they don`t let you rest at all. I don`t know if I would like kangaroo meat, good for you for trying though. Maybe you should tell the girls and DH that it is something else and see if they like it. I bet Sam will look really good after his grooming.

Pam I don`t think you can train cats, they have a mind of their own. Wow you were in the 80`s, that is nice. It is nice here but not that warm tomorrow we are suppose to get to 70 degrees. I hate cleaning up leaves too but we really only have one tree so I rake them up. We do have gardeners that come around with the blower once a week but I like to clean up the leaves from the sidewalk to no one will slip on them. Nice job on Body Max 2 that is a good way to get your week started.

Julie Good job on your spinning, CTX upper body and PS Chest Shoulders and Triceps. You had a busy weekend. I like the tri sets in M2, they tire me out but in a good way. It was hard not having my own bed and I am so glad to have it back again. Animals seem to have quite the routine. Taylis is just like Oscar and won`t let me miss his feeding time the other two would let me sleep but not Taylis.

Janie It will be good for your Dad to get his own apartment. Does he live close enough to you to visit more often? The weather has been really good here too. I love it when it is sunny out but there is the crispness in the air, it is my favorite time of the year.

Today I did Athletic Step and Ab Circuts Yoga Based Abs. I still can't do those levetation holds. Maybe one day.......
Well Tango decided that he was going to snore last night :rolleyes:, it was kinda cute much better than listening to DH snore that is for sure. Hopefully he will be quite tonight.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Julie Shame on you for not posting! :mad: Just kidding, I hope you were able to enjoy yourself this weekend. You have a really tough week. Happy birthday to your dad. Good job for getting your workouts in over the weekend too. I hope you were able to get core max in last night.
I am happy to be done with that killer rotation, man my legs were aching by the end of last week. Thanks for the link, I will have to check out that seasoning. It sounds really fun and would make plain popcorn more tempting!

Janie Awwwwww,,, so sorry your dad had to leave so soon. I am so happy for you getting to have the time that you did with him. He sounds like he is just a delightful person. I never really felt like I got the chance to get to know my dad like that when he was still around. You were so smart to make the most of that time.

Eunice Good for you going to the gym by yourself! I am so proud of you! And you got to have it all to yourself too? Wow. That is funny that your DH liked the meatballs until he found out what they were! I was like that when I had beef tongue. I had some, thought it was good, and then someone told me what it was and I didn't eat anymore :rolleyes: How silly. Leaner legs is kind've like LBB, but it's shorter. It's still a good workout though because you don't get any rests, you just work a different part of your legs instead of resting. Your girls don't want the meatballs even without knowing what is in them? Do they look scary or something? I was surprised when I made vension chili the kids loved it and they knew what it was first. DH was not so crazy about it though. How long is Sam going to stay all soft and silky?!

Are there men who clean up after themselves? My DH once left a gallon of milk sitting out on the counter all day after having his cereal. I was laughing when I was reading Julie's post about her DH not cleaning up his crumbs. Mine doesn't even put away any of the fixings. I always know what he's had to eat when I get home or come in the room because it is all sitting on the counter. :rolleyes: And don't get me started about shoes and clothes. I am always finding his shoes all over the house. Then he'll be frantically searching for them but can't find them because I have put them in his closet!
Great job on your 2 hours at the gym. Wow!

Cheryl You are right about the cats having a mind of their own. They leave DH alone, but I think that is because I'm the one who feeds them. He tells me it's my fault for training them that they get treats first thing in the morning though. 70 degrees sounds like a nice fall day! Hopefully it will be sunny!
Great job on AS and yoga abs. I have given up hope on the levatation holds, I don't think normal humans can do them! Aww, I think cats are kind've cute when they snore! As long as it doesn't kee you awake!

This morning for me was Pure Strength Back, Biceps and abs. It was really short and seemed too easy - only 42 minutes. I kind've felt cheated :rolleyes: Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Have a great day everyone!

Well I didn’t do my Core Max last night. Just didn’t feel up to it plus I was doing abs this morning. This morning I did Pure Strength Legs & Abs. I have been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I think I am not sleeping well. DH has been missing Oscar so much that he is making Maggie sleep up in between us in the bed. She snores when she has her head on the pillow. Between her snoring and DH’s snoring, I am not getting good sleep.

Janie Sorry you miss your dad now that he has gone back to your sister’s. I guess that is a testament to how great of a time you two had together. I think my dad enjoyed his birthday. Although, he says that he doesn’t have birthdays anymore because he is so old. I have found that I get along better with both my parents now that I am an adult. You don't realize how great they are when you are a kid.

Eunice Great job on your back/biceps, and 30 min cardio workout. I bet you could have considered the walk to the gym and back as your moderate cardio for the day. Weekends are busy for me too but I don’t have kids to make it even more hectic. The weekends are the times when DH and I try to fit in all the cleaning and errands we have to do that is never ending. The only meat I eat is fish/seafood. I love shrimp, tuna, and salmon. Don't you just love freshly bathed dogs!! They smell so good and their fur is so fun to pet. Too bad it doesn't last long.

Cheryl Great job on AS and yoga abs! I think Pam is the only one of us that has ever gotten a levitation hold. Seriously I think anyone that can do those is not really human (sorry Pam). Maggie’s snore is cute when I am not trying to sleep. When I am sleeping, I need total silence with white noise from the fan only.

Pam Great job on PS BBA even though it was easy! Maybe you should go back tonight and redo it with heavier weights! JK! I have this one on tap for Thursday. No such luck on my getting Core Max in last night. I was thinking about it but then I remembered I would be doing Abs this morning so I skipped it. It’s funny how are DH’s seem to be alike in not keeping things clean and organized. However, my DH has the unusual pet peeve of not liking to see cupboard doors left partially open. Sometimes I leave them open just to annoy him.

Have a great day!
 
Did a lot of jewelry making lately and will continue on that tomorrow. Thursday Joey and I will go to our Beach House and strip it. Then comes the cleaning in such great details.

Eunice, Fantastic job on on Back/biceps, and your walk and a min. of jumping rope. It counts too.:) I would be tired too with all that time exercising. Good going!

Cheryl, My Dad lives to far to visit very often. But I try to see him at least two times a year. He lives East of the mountains from me. I love Fall crisp days too.:) Fantastic job on the AS and Ab Circuts Yoga Based Abs. Hopefully no snoring tonight but just blissful sleep. LOL

Pam, I'm really glad to that Dad and I got some one on one time. I've learned so much about him. He's an incredible man. Fantastic job on PS, Back, Biceps & Abs. It's OK to have a slightly easy workout. It just helps your muscles grow even better.;)

Julie, Fantastic job on the ab, PS legs. You need your sleep.:( Try and have a good one tonight. Maybe Maggie can sleep on the side end of the bed under some covers? That's what I do with Rolly. He loves it. It's true when you say, "you don't know how great your parents are when you are a kid". I sure took advantage of getting to know my Dad while he was here. I love him even more now.:)

Have a good one everyone,

Janie
 
Julie Awwww....so sad for you and DH. Did Oscar usually sleep with you? I think I'd be afraid though that Maggie will get to liking the new sleeping arrangement a little too much. You already get up before the crack of dawn so you really need your sleep :(
Hahahahaha, I didn't feel cheated enough to go back and do the workout again. Great suggestion though :rolleyes: ;) So does it bother your DH when you leave cupboards open? I don't think mine would care. For some reason though he gets really annoyed if I leave my purse or the mail on the counter :confused:

Janie I saw on facebook that you have posted new jewelry to your website. I will have to take a look. How exciting that you are digging in on the work on the beach house. It sounds like it will be a lot of work, but at least you have a great reward a the end!

Eunice and Cheryl I hope you are doing well!

This morning for me was the original Boot Camp. I love that one, Terminator climbers and all! It always flies by for me, I really like that format. Then I had to go to the dentist for a cleaning and found out I have to go back next week to get a cavity filled. Yuck, I haven't had a filling in years and I am not looking forward to it! DH is leaving again this weekend :( Back to Sydney for a week. I told him all of this weekend travel is getting old! Of course it's worse for him, but I had to whine! Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
This morning I did spinning for 60 minutes. My legs are so sore from Pure Strength Legs yesterday. I am failing the toilet test and the stairs test. I always take the stairs up to the fourth floor of my office building. I am doing it today but let’s just say it is not a pretty sight to behold! I also noticed as I was walking down the hallway that I was waddling much like the very, pregnant lady in front of me. :eek:

Janie Sounds like you have been keeping yourself busy since your dad left. And you have quite the workout planned with going to the Beach House on Thursday—cleaning can be considered a workout too! Well last night Maggie slept more towards the bottom of the bed but still crooked and not giving my legs much room. We’re definitely going to have to figure out better sleeping arrangements soon. Of course, my ultimate solution would be to get a king size bed but we don’t have the money for that right now.

Pam Great job on Boot Camp! That one does go by super fast but I wish the Terminator Climbers were in one of the first couple rounds rather than in the middle when you are starting to tire out. Wow your DH sure does travel a lot. What does he do? Yes, Oscar used to sleep with us. That was his bed and he just allowed us to sleep in it with him. Actually, Oscar did fairly well at sleeping at the foot of the bed curled up in a ball so he didn’t get in our way much. Maggie on the other hand has not grasped this concept yet. Maggie used to sleep in her own little doggie bed right next to my side of the bed but DH has been coaxing her into bed every night now I am sure she will forget about the bed soon enough. DH does get annoyed with the cupboards being left open a crack. He also doesn’t like it if something is sticking out of one of the drawers like a dish towel. Drives him nuts!!! Not sure if he has caught on that I do this on purpose sometimes.

Have a good day!
