Julie Good work on your heavy lower body workout and heavy upper body workout. Enjoy your time off.
Pam Great job on Functional Yoga. I have trouble getting down with the lizard pose too. Great job on Total Body Barbell Body Max Step and Power Circuits and Stacked Sets Upper and Lower. Fingers crossed that you don't get snow.
Well I have had a stressful few days. My mom still wasn't feeling well on Friday so I took her up to emergency to have her looked at. It was incredibly busy there and by the time we waited and got through all the tests we had been there for 11 hours. She had a blocked lower intestine which was giving her a lot of pain. They started her with a tube through the nose into her stomach to hopefully unblock whatever was there. If that didn't work the only other option was surgery which she wouldn't have survived with her heart issues so then they said that it would be terminal and that they would only be able to make her comfortable until the end. Well luckily the tube to her stomach did work and she is doing better. I am going out to see her today and hopefully will be bringing her back home tomorrow. We will see how things go. So I didn't workout or do much over the weekend but this morning I did Functional Upper Body. Now I need to get ready to go.
Have a great day.

Cheryl Oh wow, you really had a stressful and exhausting few days. I’m so glad to hear that the tube worked, I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that procedure must have been! I hope that she continues to do better. Great job on FUB.
This morning was Plyo Hiit 2 and the bonus stability ball abs from Butts and Guts. We are looking forward to our new New years Eve tradition of a late dinner at a nice restaurant and home before midnight. Some friends are joining us this year so they’ll be coming over for appetizers before dinner. Have a great day and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!
This morning I did LM&R Functional Lower Body. So my mom is still in the hospital and probably will be for a while longer. She had a heart issue Monday night so they didn't want to send her home until they could run some more tests and monitor her a bit longer. We will see how things go.

Pam Great job on LM&R FY! Getting elbows to the floor on lizard is really hard. If you have thick books (dictionary or cookbooks) you could use that too. Great job on TBB plus WP Bonus, BM S&C, SBSSL&UB, and Plyo HiiT 2 plus B&G SB abs!! Sounds like a great way to spend NYE instead of being out with all the hustle and bustle at midnight.
Cheryl Oh my that sounds very scary and stressful. I am glad they were able to get the tube to work. I am sure she is isn't happy staying in the hospital but it sounds like they are being safe and making sure she is well enough to go home. Great job on keeping up with your workouts (FUB, LITE CP, LM&R FLB) with all that going on.
I won't bore you with all I did since I last checked in but I have kept up with my workouts and got some things done around the house. I got my fridge cleaned out (thanks for the push Cheryl) and cleaned out my bathroom cabinets. I really enjoyed my time off. Almost too much. It made me want to stay at home all the time. I think the dogs have liked me being home and not having to be alone. I don't go back to work until next Tuesday but I can already tell that is going to be a tough day.
Have a great weekend!

Cheryl Great job on LITE Cardio Party and LM&R FLB! I’m sorry that your mom is having to stay in the hospital, but it sounds like the right thing to do. Hopefully she won’t have to stay too much longer.
Julie Great job keeping up with your workouts. You have been productive during your time off too. I need to get my fridge cleaned out too. I’m sure your dogs will be very sad when you have to go back to work net week. It’s so hard to go back after that much time off.
Yesterday I did LM&R Functional mobility and the LI cardio bonus. Then I got most of the Christmas stuff taken down. This morning was Push Pull and the abs from Body Max 2.Have a great day!

Julie You are welcome for the push to clean out your fridge. It looks like I need to do it again. You were productive on your time off and it looks like you also had some time to relax. I am sure your dogs won't be happy when you have to go back to work.
Pam Great job on LM&R Functional Mobility and the Cardio Bonus, Push Pull and the abs from BM2. I got all of our Christmas decorations taken down yesterday too. It is nice to get back to normal.
This morning was LM&R Functional Mobility. Then we went out to visit with my mom. She seems to be doing better but it may still be several days before she can go home. She is a bit bored and can't wait to get out of there.
Have a great day.

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FM! I’m glad that your mom is doing better, I’m sure she will be quite happy when she gets to go home.
This morning’s workout was the Step and Power circuits from Body Max 2, but part-way through the second power circuit I caught my foot on the edge of the step and went down. After the initial pain went away it didn’t seem to be too bad, but I guess time will tell. I can walk on it luckily and now I have an ice pack on it. It looks like no cardio for me for awhile though. Have a great day!

Pam Oh no I hope your foot will be ok and that you didn't hurt it too badly. I have come close to doing the same thing but have been lucky so far.
Yesterday I took as a day off and got the housework done. I had to take Tango to the vet for his arthritis shot and was very happy to hear that he had put on a little bit of weight. He was on a steady decline for the past year so that was good news. I am hoping that my mom will get out of the hospital today. My brother is closer so he will go pick her up if it happens.
Have a great day.

Pam Great job on LM&R FM and LICB and PP plus BM2 abs! Oh no, that sounds scary. I hope everything is ok with your foot. If you can walk on it, it probably isn't broken or sprained. Maybe just a bad bruise.
Cheryl Great job on LM&R FM! I can imagine it being boring being in a hospital for so long. Hope she was able to get out of the hospital.
Friday I did a heavy lower body workout and then did some cleaning. Saturday was my mobility and some more chores around the house. Sunday was an upper body day and being lazy and this morning was my sleep in day. We got a couple of inches of snow last night. Not as bad as they initially were saying we were going to get 4-8 inches.
Have a great day!

Cheryl That is great that Tango put on some weight. Hopefully your mom was able to go home yesterday.
Julie Great job on your heavy lower body workout, mobility, and upper body workout!
Luckily my ankle issue turned out to be not too bad. I have it taped and have been able to walk on it without much trouble. I did take Saturday off to give it a rest. Sunday I did Chiseled Upper body with Icy core 2. This morning was Chiseled Lower body blast and Muscle meltdown for shoulders. It had more cardio in it than I thought, but my ankle did fine. The only thing I couldn’t do were the pigeon stretches at the end. Mac goes in today to get his bloodwork to see if he is ready to stop treatment and go into observation for his FIP. Keep your fingers crossed for him! He has been doing so well, so I will be surprised if he doesn’t have good results. Have a great day!

Julie Great work on your heavy lower body workout, mobility work and your upper body workout. Yuck snow!!! Glad that you didn't get as much as they said you would.
Pam Glad to hear that your ankle issue wasn't too bad.. Good job on Chiseled Upper Body and Icy Core 2, Chiseled Lower Body Blast and Shoulders. Fingers crossed that everything goes well for Mac's blood work today.
Yesterday I did Rev'd Up Rumble and I also went for a walk in the afternoon. This morning was Functional Total Body. My mom is get home on Saturday and she was very happy about that. If she is up to it I will be going out there on Wednesday to take her out.
Have a great day.

Cheryl Great job on RUR plus your walk and FTB! Yea, that is great that she was able to go home. I hope she is feeling up to going out on Wednesday.
This morning I did a heavy lower body workout. First time going into work in three weeks. It was rough leaving the dogs and cold on the walk into the office.
Have a great day!

Julie Great job on your heavy lower body workout. Wow, that must have been tough going into the office for the first time in 3 months! I hope that they day went by smoothly. I’m sure you got lots of doggy love when you got home!
This morning I did P30 LI Hiit, The extended stretch, and core max 1. My ankle didn’t bother me too much, mostly on some of the stretches. I was a bit surprised though because I took off the tape afterwards and it is really black and blue! As long as it’s working for me I can’t complain though. Have a great day!

Pam Great work on P30 LI Hiit + Extended Stretch + Core Max 1. As long as your ankle was OK during your workout the bruising will go away.
This morning was Functional Yoga. Then I went to get groceries. In the afternoon we did some errands and then I took Zoey out for a bit of a walk since our friend will be late getting home.
Have a great day.

Pam It was actually only 3 weeks that I was out of the office but I would love for them to let us take the whole winter off to work from home. Great job on P30 LI HiiT + ES + CM1! Glad you are not in pain. Hopefully the black and blue goes away soon.
Cheryl Great job on FY and your walk with Zoey!
This morning I did a heavy upper body workout! It was super cold on the drive in. Not quite single digits but close. I had to get gas too, UGH!
Have a great day!

Julie Ooops, that’s funny, I read 3 months instead of weeks. I just figured you had been working from home for a while. Great job on your heavy upper body workout! I has been so cold here, I am ready for it to warm up.
This morning was LM&R Functional Mobility and the LI bonus. The results of Mac’s bloodwork came back excellent so he is cleared to go into observation as soon as he finishes his last two days of treatment. Observation is also 84 days, but hopefully it goes as smoothly as his treatment has. Have a great day!

This morning was Cardio Party. Then I went and took my mom for blood work and to get groceries. She is still a bit weak but hopefully she will get better.
