Strength in Numbers

Cheryl Great job on your hike with friends. It sounds like a great day and nice that the rain held off.

Julie Thanks for the tips on the vinegar and baking soda. I got some spray, but that usually is only a temporary fix so will try the vinegar and baking soda. Hopefully it takes care of it. Great job on your heavy upper body workout! I hate burn sets!!

This morning was Perfect Hiit LI and ab stacker abs. I haven’t done that ab workout in awhile and I really struggled through it. I think I have been slacking on ab work lately and it is showing! Have a great day!

Julie Great work on your heavy upper body workout and getting through it with the burnout sets.

Pam Good job on Perfect Hiit LI and the ab stacker abs. I am slacking on the ab work too.

This morning I tried to do P30 Lower Body. I only got about 1/4 of the way through and gave up. My knee and actually my whole body aches and I am not sleeping well at all. The physio was not helping my knee so I stopped going but the extra 25 pounds that I am carrying around doesn't help either. Next month I am going to see an endocrinologist and metabolism specialist to see if he can help me with this post menopausal bull crap. I am finding that I am struggling a lot lately so I am really hoping that he can help me out. Now I need to go and hopefully pick my mom up from the hospital and take her back home.

Have a great day.

Pam Great job on Perfect HiiT LI and ab stacker abs! Oh I remember really enjoying that one. I forgot to mention but I am sure you would have figured it out but you vacuum up the baking soda after letting it sit on there for an hour or more to soak up the moisture. Good luck!

Cheryl Oh no, I am sorry your knee is giving you troubles again. I hope the endocrinologist can help you out. Menopause certainly does change your hormones up and those can definitely make it harder to get good sleep, have energy, lose weight and so much more.

This morning was my sleep in day. I did have to get up at 3 to feed the dogs but then went back to sleep till 5. It is still nice even though it is not continuous sleep.

Have a great weekend!
 
Cheryl Oh I’m sorry that you are struggling so much. I’m sure all of the stress with your mom isn’t helping either. Hopefully the endocrinologist can help. Menopause is no fun at all! I hope your mom got to go home.

Julie You had to get up at 3 to feed the dogs?! YIkes, that is early!! I’m glad you were able to get back to sleep afterwards though.

This morning was LIHI Chest, shoulders, and triceps. I am really not a fan of these LIHI workouts. The breaks between sets are so short that I’m never ready to start the next set and have to do much lower weights than Cathe uses for almost everything. This morning my arms were shaking during the stretch! Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie 3am is very early to get up to feed the dogs, but I am sure they are in a routine that is hard to break. Nice that you got to go back to bed for a few hours.

Pam Good work on LIHI Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Those are hard workouts and I don't do them much and I also have to lift a lot less than Cathe.

So Wednesday my mom was discharged from the hospital. She was very happy to get back home. Thursday morning I just did STS 2.0 Mobility 1 and then got the housework done. I didn't go into the SPCA since our transfer happened on the Wednesday and I couldn't go in to help. Friday I just took the day off and later we went over to my brother and SIL's for dinner. Saturday morning was dragon boating and it was a really nice day to be on the water. Then we got the BBQ cleaned out so we can start using it. This morning I walked down to the farmers market and I will see about getting the car cleaned out since it is another nice day here.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl I’m happy to hear that your mom got to go home! Great job on Mobility 1 and the housework! It’s great that ypu had a nice day for dragon boating. Spring must have arrived if you are getting the BBQ cleaned up . Sounds like you are having a beautiful weekend.

Friday I took as a rest day because I had two wish celebrations that were a long drive away. One of them was a gaming computer setup and we had to put together a desk and chair. The desk took us almost 3 hours to put together and luckily the kids cousin or uncle (?) put the chair together and then helped us with the desk. When I got home I found a new car in our garage! My DH went had been working on it but didn’t tell me! It’s brand new, which we never do. It’s the first brand new car I’ve had in over 4o years! Saturday I had another wish that was a 2 hour drive away. I did do Plyo Hiit 1 after I got home. It is a killer for me every time, but luckily it’s short. Then I did STS 2.0 mini ball abs. This morning was XTrain legs and then I did some house cleaning. I did sit by the pool for about an hour because it was in the 80s. The yard is ready for mulch now but I’m not sure if I will start that this week or not. We are leaving for Pennsylvania on Thursday for a few days for DHs moms birthday and the eclipse, so I may procrastinate until after we get back, Happy Easter!

Pam Great job on LIHI Chest, shoulders, and triceps! Those are really tough workouts for sure. The dogs are used to getting fed at 3 so now they don't let me forget. Oh wow what a nice surprise from your dh! Great job on Plyo HiiT 1 and STS mini ball abs, XTrain Legs! 80s sounds wonderful. I can't wait for that here.

Cheryl I'm glad your mom is back home. Great job on STS Mobility 1! Oh yea, it has been nicer weather for you. Yep the dogs are in a routine now. I don't know what I was thinking with feeding them that early.

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and then a bunch of chores around the house. It was nice out so I got the deck furniture out and the DH and I went for a walk. Saturday I did my mobility workout and then went to Costco. It was so busy but we had been putting it off so had to get a ton of stuff. Sunday was an upper body day and this morning I slept in.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your heavy lower body workout, chores, and your walk! I’m so happy for nice weather, I just hope it stays! Great job on your upper body workout and getting that Costco run out of the way!

This morning was XTrain Chest, Back and shoulders and Core 1. These weight workouts have been feeling so hard for me lately . Every muscle in my body is sore again too. Ugh. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam What a nice surprise from DH of a new car. Great job on Plyo Hiit 1, mini ball abs and XTrain Legs. You are getting some nice weather to be able to sit by the pool.

Julie Good work on your heavy lower body workout, your mobility workout and upper body workout. You were brave to go to Costco on a Saturday.

Pam Great work on XTrain Chest Back and Shoulders and Core 1.

This morning was ICE Chiseled Upper Body and then I went to get groceries. Now I am thinking that I amm going to go for a walk before the rain comes back.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on XTrain CBS plus Core 1! I guess that is a sign that you needed these right now.

Cheryl Great job on ICE CUB! Hope you were able to get a walk in. Sample Saturday is the worst day to go to Costco.

This morning I did a heavy lower body workout. It is deload week so it was a little lighter on sets and took a little less time.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on ICE CUB! I hope you got your walk in before it rained.

Julie Great job on your heavy lower body workout. It’s nice to have the lighter and shorter ones once in awhile!

This morning Was RWH LI Hiit 1&2. Now I have to get some housework done and am meeting some friends for lunch. It’s supposed to be 87 here today so will need to get outside this afternoon! We‘re leaving for Pennsylvania on Thursday and DH said it is supposed to snow there on Friday! I told him I’m not going . Have a great day!

Pam

Pam Great job on RWH LI HiiT 1 & 2! Oh wow 87 sounds so nice right now. Hopefully it won't snow much if at all for you.

This morning I did a heavy upper body workout. Our temps have dropped and we are in the 30s today and possibly getting snow/rain mix all day. Yuck!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your heavy upper body workout! I hope you don’t get any snow in that mix. It is supposed to get cooler here too, but just into the 60’s for highs. I’ll take that over snow.

This morning was XTrain Bis and Tris and the abs from Lean Legs and abs. We are supposed to have thunderstorms today so it will be an inside day getting packed and getting the house ready for sitters. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your heavy lower body workout. Shorter workouts are always nice.

Pam Great work on RWH LI Hiit 1 & 2. Hopefully you won't get much snow.

Julie Good work on your heavy upper body workout. Yuck I hope it doesn't snow and doesn't stay cold for too long.

Pam Great job on XTrain Bis and Tris and the abs from LL. Enjoy your time in Pennsylvania and watching the eclipse.

Yesterday was a weird day. I had blood tests in the morning so I had to fast. They were busy so it took longer than expected. Then I came home and had breakfast and then needed to get ready to go for my hair appointment. Then I came back home for just a bit before I needed to leave again to meet up with a couple of friends for coffee. I was really tired since my whole routine was off. When I went to bed I couldn't get to sleep, I think I had too much caffeine that disrupted my sleep. Today I am dragging my butt but I did do STS 2.0 Total Body Stretch. Now I need to go and take my mom for some blood tests and then shopping.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on XTrain Bis & Tris and LLA abs! Hope you have a wonderful trip and get a good look at the eclipse.

Cheryl That is a lot of running around. I can imagine all that running around and the caffeine affected your sleep. Great job on STS 2 TBS! Hopefully you get better sleep tonight.

This morning was my sleep in day! It was nice. We did get snow almost all day yesterday but it didn't stick so I guess I will take it.

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie That is good that the snow didn't stick. I hope you had a great weekend.

So Thursday I did ICE Chiseled Lower Body and then helped out at the SPCA. Friday I did STS 2.0 Chair Yoga and then got some housework and laundry done. Saturday morning I went dragon boating. In the afternoon I went and got some rocks from houses up the street from us where a development will be going in. I wanted them to fill in some spaces around out place. Some of the houses are being demolished but there are about 14 of them that are being moved up the coast. So far only two have been moved but there are more there that are ready to be moved this coming week. It is quite the process to get them moved and coming down our narrow street. This morning I walked down to the farmers market to get a few things. This afternoon we are going to go to a home show with our friend for something a bit different to do.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on ICE CLB and STS 2 CY! I love that is dragon boating season ... that means nice weather finally! Oh wow that is cool they are moving the house. You don't see that much these days anymore. That would be neat to see.

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and then did a bunch of stuff around the house. Saturday was a mobility workout and then I went to my mom's to help her get some things done. Sunday I took as a rest day and this morning I slept in.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Good work on your heavy lower body workout and mobility workout. Nice that you got to sleep in this morning.

This morning was Yoga Relax. I really needed to get some stretching in. Now I am going to get some things done inside as it is a very wet day here.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on YR! I'm definitely enjoying stretching more as I get older.

This morning I did a heavy lower body workout! Yesterday was the eclipse and my area was in the 95% zone. I stupidly did not get glasses so I couldn't watch it. I just watched it on the tv which was pretty neat.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Good job on you heavy lower body workout. Without the glasses the best way to watch is on the T.V. For us we only got about 25% but it was overcast and raining so we didn't see a thing.

This morning was Boss Bands Total Body. Then I got the grocery shopping done. In the afternoon I went for a walk since the rain had stopped and the sun was out.

Have a great day.
