Strength in Numbers

Pam Oh poor Toffee! I am glad she is back to herself this morning. Hopefully her incision heals well. Great job on SW!

Cheryl Great job on ICE MB! I hope you had a great visit with your mom.

This morning was my sleep in day. Yesterday afternoon when I left work, my car and all the others in the lot were covered in dust. Apparently we got a big dust storm during the day. Last night DH got home about 2 minutes before the skies opened up and we got some pretty severe storms. We were under a tornado warning but it was about 15 miles from us so we were lucky. Crazy weather.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on MB! I hope your mom’s taxes aren’t too crazy. That is not a fun job!

Julie I heard about the dust storms, that is crazy! I’m glad you guys were both home before the bad weather started and that you didn’t get any tornadoes!

This morning was Push Pull. I like how fast it goes! We are supposed to get thunderstorms this afternoon, so I’m hoping I can finish cleaning up the leaves before it starts so that I’ll be ready to mulch. Happy first day of spring!!

Pam
 
Happy Saturday! This morning was Body Blast Supersets. It’s going to be a gorgeous day here so I need to try to get outside a bit before all of the hockey and basketball starts! Have a great day.

Pam
 
Julie Oh yuck I bet the dust got in everywhere. Good thing that you and DH got home before the skies opened up and that you didn't get any tornados.

Pam Great job on Push Pull, Imax and Supersets.

Thursday I was really tired so I didn't workout but I did go to the SPCA to help out. Friday I went for a walk with a friend which was good but it was pouring rain. We did get a bit wet and it took a while to warm up. Saturday I had my first dragon boat practice of the season. It was a bit cool but no rain. It felt good to get back on the water. After practice we went to a place for brunch. After that I went out to visit my mom. We are still waiting to see if the blood infection has cleared up and they are trying to regulate her meds for the fluid on her lungs. We still don't know how all this is going to end. This morning I went to the farmers market and it was raining really hard. I was glad to get back home and now I think I am just going to relax for the rest of the day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on PP, Imax, and BB SS! I hope you got your lawn work done before the storms hit.

Cheryl Oh yea dragon boating is starting! You are so good for going for a walk in the rain. I hope they are at least keeping your mom comfortable and as pain free as possible.

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and then did some chores around the house. Saturday was my mobility and then I had to run errands with DH. One of our neighbors saw a masked man on their camera around midnight the night before. We live in a small town of about 400 people and are surrounded by farmland for miles so crime is not something we have had to worry about in the almost 25 years we have lived here. We went and got cameras with another neighbor and then spent the afternoon putting them up. Sunday was a heavy upper body workout and this morning was a sleep in day for me.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Wow, you are so good to go out for a walk even though it’s pouring rain. I would definitely use that as an excuse not to go. That‘s awesome that dragon boating is starting up again and you didn’t have rain for practiCe. Your poor mom, I hope that she is comfortable and her spirits are ok.

Julie Great job on your heavy lower body workout, mobility workout, and heavy upper body workout! I hope you had a good sleep in. That is really scary about the masked man on your neighbors camera!! I‘m glad you got some cameras and hopefully your dogs are a deterrent also.

Yesterday was my rest day. I did a little bit of house work and made some meatballs. I like to make big batches and have them in the freezer. Little Toffee is giving me a run for my money keeping her from messing with her incision. She bit a big hole in her surgery suit, so I sewed it up and put it back on her and also put her in a cone. This morning I went in to find she had gotten out of the cone and ripped open the suit again! Now she’s back in the cone and I have a new surgery suit from Amazon to put on her. Hopefully doubling up will get us through until it’s healed enough! Have a great day.

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your heavy lower body workout, your mobility workout and your heavy upper body workout. That is scary about the masked man caught on camera. We have a camera at the front of our place and in our garage. We are thinking of putting another one up at the back of our place as well.

Pam Little Toffee is really giving you a run for your money. It is amazing how they can get out of the cones and chew holes in the surgery suits.

This morning was LM&R Functional Total Body. Then I went out to visit my mom. She was looking a lot better than she did on Saturday. Her kidneys are not functioning too well right now and they are trying to get them functioning at an acceptable level. Physio came just before I was going to leave to get her up and out for a short walk. We will see how this week goes.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Oh my Toffee is a pistol! She is tenacious if she is able to get out of her cone. I hope she starts to leave her incision alone.

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FTB! Oh that is good news that she is looking better. I love that physio comes by to help her get up and moving. That has to help too.

This morning I did a heavy lower body workout! Something crazy happened last night. I got really good sleep (knock on wood) and woke up with pretty good energy (another knock).

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great work on your heavy lower body workout. Yeah on getting a good nights sleep. Hopefully the crazy will happen again tonight.

This morning was P30 LIHI Hiit + the Extended Stretch. Now I need to get some groceries and then there are a few things that I need to get done this afternoon.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job bon LM&R FTB! It’s good to hear that your mom is looking better and hopefully they can get her kidneys functioning at an acceptable level.

Julie Great job on your heavy lower body workout and your crazy night!! Whatever you did, do it again!

Cheryl Great job on P30 LIHI Hiit + ES!

I realized that I posted yesterday, but didn’t say what my workout was It was ICE Chiseled lower body+ Ciy core 2. This morning was one of the Chiseled upper body mishmosh premixes. I feel accomplished because Toffee has kept her cone on for more than 24 hours!! I’m hoping she will keep it on for a few more days to get things nicely healed. Now I’m headed to the garden shop to get some plants. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Cheryl Great job on P30 LIHI HiiT + ES! Hope you got everything done you needed to.

Pam Great job on ICE CLB +Icy Core 2 and CUB MM! Yea, way to go Toffee. She surrendered.

This morning was a heavy upper body workout! I guess the wood knocking didn't help because I did not get good sleep last night. Maybe tonight fingers crossed.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job bon your heavy upper body workout. Bummer that the wood knocking didn’t work. Cross those fingers, toes, eyes, anything that will cross tonight!

This morning was Tabatacise and core 1. I hadn’t done that one in a long time. It wasn’t too bad, but I did pause in between a couple of the rounds to get some water. Yesterday I drove 45 minutes to the garden center only to find that they are closed on Tuesdays! I went to a different one and got some things, but I will need to go back to that one another day. Have a great day.

Pam
 
Pam Great work on ICE Chiseled Lower Body + Icy Core 2 and Chiseled Upper Body Mishmosh, Hopefully Toffee will keep her cone on for several more days.

Julie Good job on your heavy upper body workout. Too bad that the knocking on wood didn't help. Maybe tonight.


Pam Great job on Tabatacise and Core 1. Oh bummer to drive all that way to find them closed.

This morning was LM&R Functional Upper Body. Now I need to get some cleaning done.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on Tabatacise plus core 1! I think I remember asking Cathe when I went to the Chicago roadtrip how they make it through the whole video without taking drink breaks and she said they do take breaks but editing cuts those out. Oh no, how disappointing to get there and it be closed.

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FUB! Hope you got all your cleaning done!

This morning was my sleep in day. I must have crossed enough fingers and toes and eyes and limbs because I did get a decent night's sleep. Looking forward to this weekend and hopefully getting some things done.

Have a great weekend!
 
Cheryl Great job bon LM&R FUB! Hope you got your cleaning done.

Julie I don’t think they should edit out the drink breaks. I know I feel guilty anytime I pause the workout! That is awesome that you were able to get another decent sleep. Hopefully you are starting a streak!

Today ended up being a sleep in day for me too, even though I hadn’t planned on it. I didn’t wake up until 8:30! I couldn’t believe it when I looked at the clock. By the time I took care of the cats, did my workout and had breakfast, the morning was almost over! I did ICE Bootcamp circuit with the blizzard blast. I have book club this afternoon but I’m only halfway through the book so I guess I will get some spoilers. I’m not really liking the book much though, so probably won’t finish it. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie That is great that you got a decent night's sleep. Enjoy your weekend.

Pam Oh wow I don't remember the last time I slept in until 8:30. Good work on ICE Bootcamp and the Blizzard Blast. It is hard to read a book when you are not into it. Maybe the spoilers will be a good thing.

So I did get all of my cleaning done yesterday. Since my mom has been in the hospital it has been hard to get the things done that I need to. This morning was LM&R Functional Pilates. Now I need to get ready to go the the SPCA.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Sometimes you just have to let some of that stuff go for awhile. You have been focusing on what is important. Great job on LM&R FP!

This morning I did Power Max. I really like that one after getting past the first combo and always laugh at the scrunchies and thong leotards. I think I’m going to head back to the garden center today and tonight I have the Dress for Success Gala. I wasn’t going to go because we had hockey tickets, but DH decided to race this weekend so we let our hockey tickets go. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Happy Saturday! I’m sitting here sniffling from all of the pollen, but I don’t care because it’s going to be 80 degrees today! . This morning was STS 2 Total Body Trisets and mini ball abs. The STS 2 workouts are always so hard for me! I have a bunch of planting to do so I need to get busy. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on ICE BC + BB, PM, and STS 2 TBT plus mb abs! You must have really needed the sleep if you slept in that long. Hopefully the pollen will go away soon. It's crazy how much you all get out there. Hope you had a great time at the Dress for Success Gala.

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FP! I can imagine it is hard to keep up with everything while also needing to be there for your mom. Give yourself grace and as Pam said let some things take a backseat for a while.

Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and then did some things around the house. Saturday was my mobility and then some more chores. Sunday was my heavy upper body workout and then being lazy and this morning I slept in. We got some nice temps over the weekend but it was pretty windy so we didn't get to enjoy being outside.

Have a great day!
