Strength in Numbers

Cheryl Sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well, it’s definitely that time of year. Hopefully you continue to feel better.

Julie No worries about not checkin in. Sorry to hear about your shoulder, hope it is better soon. Great job doing some rehab moves for it.

Friday was a beautiful day so DH and I went for a bike ride. By the end of it I was completely wiped out and just wanted to be done. Saturday was LM&R Functional Mobility Fusion, Sunday was my rest day, and this morning was STS 2 Giant Sets Total Body. That one always kills mhy forearms, despite using my Versa Grips, although they definitely help. Our new HVAC system is being installed today! It will be nice to have heat again, but we have been sleeping really well while it’s been cold. Have a great day!

Julie Good job on your workouts but not doing something to your shoulder. I hope it gets better soon. Glad to hear that you got some relaxing in while you were off. A schedule and routine is always good.

Pam Great work on your bike ride, LM&R Mobility Fusion and STS2 Giant Sets Total Body. Glad that you are finally getting your new HVAC system. I always sleep better in a cool room so I like to open the window just a crack to get some cool air in.

This morning I was feeling a lot better so I did STS 2 Upper Body 2. Then I braved Costco. It was crazy there but I got what I needed. This afternoon I went out for a walk since it wasn't raining yet. The next few days are supposed to be very rainy though.

Have a great day.

Pam Great job on your bike ride, LM&R FMF, and STS2 GSTB! Hope everything goes well with the new HVAC.

Cheryl Yea, so glad you were feeling a lot better. Great job on STS 2 UB2 and braving Costco! That is almost a workout in itself.

This morning was my lower body workout. I was really tired but made it through. DH and I also woke up to finding droplets of blood all of the washable pee pads we leave out for Petunia. There was no pee just droplets of blood everywhere. I have an appointment at 1 and am hoping it is something minor like a UTI.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I’m glad to hear you are feeling better and great job on STS 2 UB2 and your walk. I’m glad you were able to get what you needed at Costco. The last couple of times they haven’t had any cat litter and that’s one of the main reasons I go there. I was just thinking I may have to brave it again soon to check.

This morning was Gloved up and sweaty with the jump rope bonus (but with no rope). It’s nice to be living upstairs in the house again . Yesterday despite the cold I was able to get the Christmas decorations all down but still need DHs help to haul the boxes to the attic and get rid of the tree. Hopefully that will happen today. Have a great day!

Julie Great work on your lower body workout with being really tired. I hope that Petunia just has a UTI. That is very easy to fix.

Pam I don't get cat litter at Costco but Willow really loves the lickable treats and they have a huge box that I get there. Good job on Gloved up and Sweaty with the bonus jump rope. I hope you get everything done that you need to.

This morning was LM&R Functional Lower Body + Lower Body Balance Disc Bonus. Then I got some cleaning done. It is raining out really hard so I am not sure if I am going out for a walk later or not. We will see if it calms down a bit.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Julie Looks like we were posting at the same time yesterDay. Great job on your lower vody workout! I hope that you got good news from the vet about Petunia!

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FLB+LBBDDB! I hope that your rain eased off and you were able to get a walk in.

This morning was STS 2.0 Upper Body 1 and the abs from Cardio and weights. I got the fridge cleaned out yesterday, but still need to do the freezer and pantry. I’m not sure it I’ll do that today or not though because it is beautiful outside. Have a great day!

Pam Great job on STS 2 Upper Body 1 and the abs from Cardio and Weights. I need to clean the fridge, freezer and pantry as well. I don't have any excuses such as having nice weather, I am just procrastinating.

So it poured rain yesterday and it looks like we are having the same for today. I may just need to suck it up if I want to get out for a walk. This morning I did yoga. It concentrated on the hips which are really tight on me. I really felt that one.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on G&S plus Jump rope bonus! Your so good getting your Christmas decorations down.

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FLB + LBBDB! Hope you get some relief from the rain.

This morning was my upper body day! I was even more tired than yesterday but I did it. My shoulder is still having issues but it is getting better. I lightened my weights and made sure nothing triggered it hurting. Petunia did have a UTI so she is on antibiotics for a few weeks.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Well I do a lot of procrastinating too! I hope your rain stops soon. Great job on yoga, I hope you aren’t feeling it too much today.

Julie Great job on your upper body workout and taking it easy on your shoulder. I’m glad to hear that it was just a UTI that Petunia had. I’m sure she will be much happier once the antibiotics kick in.

This morning was STS 2 Mobility 2. It’s really short but it felt good. Now that our heat is working again it’s been beautiful out. It was 70 yesterday and supposed to be the same today and tomorrow. Too bad it wasn’t like that last week when our heat was out! Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on STS2 Mobility 2! Sometimes it is nice to have a short one. That's always how it works, just when you get something fixed, you don't need it anymore.

This morning was my sleep in day and I really needed it. I have been getting awful sleep. Not sure if it is the sadness of winter or just the loveliness of getting older.

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie Great job on your upper body workout and taking it easy on your shoulder. That is good news that it is just a UTI that Petunia has.

Pam Good work on STS 2 Mobility 2. It is always nice having those shorter workouts. Isn't that the way, when you need something it doesn't work and when it does work you don't need it.

Julie When you hit a certain age sleep seems to go bye bye. I hope you can sleep in more on the weekend.

This morning was LM&R Functional Upper Body and the Upper Body Balance Disc Bonus. Then I got some more cleaning done. Now I need to get ready to go to the SPCA to help out.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Julie I definitely don’t sleep like I did when i was younger. I used to be asleep within seconds of my head hitting the pillow and didn’t stir until morning. Now I’m happy if I only wake up once or twice during the night! Hopefully you’ll get some better sleep this weekend,

Cheryl Great job on LM&R FUB and UBBDB! I got a balance disc but haven’t used it yet. It looks like it’s going to be challenging though! Great job on STS2 LB2 also!

Yesterday was a beautiful day so DH and I went for a bike ride. Then I had another Dr appointment because my stye still hasn’t gone away. She gave me some oral antibiotics to take in additional to the ointment, but told me to go ahead and make an appt with an ophthalmologist to have it removed in case this doesn[t work. Joy . Have a great day!

Pam
 
Cheryl Great job on LM&R FUB plus UB BDB and STS 2 LB2! I am seeing a lot of things going bye as I get older. Hair is getting greys, injuries are more frequent and take longer to heal. Ugh!

Pam Great job on your bike ride with DH! Oh no, so sorry your stye is being so stubborn. I hope the oral antibiotic helps so you don't have to have it surgically removed.

Friday I did a lower body workout and then some cleaning before taking Gunner to the vet for a chiro appointment. Saturday was my mobility day and some more cleaning and Sunday I did some upper body weights mixed in with my shoulder rehab. I did finally get some sleep over the weekend. Fingers crossed that trend continues.

Have a great day!
 
Pam Great job on your bike ride. I hope the oral antibiotics work and you don't need to have surgery.

Julie Good work on your lower body workout, your mobility work and your upper body workout. Things do go sideways when you get older. However staying active certainly does help with it.

So I had a very quiet weekend. I didn't workout but I did walk to the farmers market yesterday morning. It was pouring rain but I needed a few things since they were closed for 2 weeks for the Christmas break. This morning I did STS 2 Body Parts Legs. We are having torrential rain here again today so it will be an indoor kind off day.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Julie Great job on your lower body workout, mobility, upper body workout, and shoulder rehab. Is your shoulder feeling any better? I hope you continue to get better sleep.

Cheryl A quiet weekend sounds nice, toher than the torrential rain. I hope that you get a break soon! Great job on STS2 BPL!

Yesterday was my rest day. I had a wish discovery and then we went to a friends for the Eagles game. This morning was STS 2 Tri Sets Total Body. Now I need to get some housework done but have been procrastinating . Have a great day!

Pam
 
Cheryl Oh that sounds nice to have a quiet weekend. I am always impressed with your walking in the rain. Great job on STS2 BP Legs! Oh my goodness, yes. I can't imagine what I would be like if I wasn't active. I see my mom and am so thankful I have the mobility and strength I have.

Pam Bummer about the Eagles. I had picked them to win over the 49ers even though I know nothing about football. Great job on STS2 TTB! My shoulder is gradually getting better. I feel like I have less pain with certain movements. I will be keeping up the rehab movements and lighter upper body weights for a while I think.

This morning was my lower body day. I got good sleep but did wake up in the middle of the dream which seems to just make getting up so hard. I didn't have that great of workout but I survived.

Have a great day!
 
Julie We aren’t really Eagles fans, but our friend is so we cheered for them to support him. Great job on your lower body workout. They aren’t always great, unfortunately, but kudos for getting it done.

This morning was Tabatacise. It was as tough as always, but it still seems like it goes by pretty quickly. I did get an extra break after round 4 because the disc froze a few times during the cooldown. I was quite ok with that! Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam A rest day is always nice. Good work on STS 2 Tri Sets Total Body. I find that one the hardest of the 3 total body workouts. I try to do a bit of cleaning everyday so it isn't so daunting to try to do everything at once.

Julie We get so much rain here that if you didn't go out in it you would be stuck at home for months at a time. My mom was very frail at the end so I am also very happy that I lift weights and try to stay healthy though some days are easier than others. Great job on your lower body workout.

Pam Great work on Tabatacise.

This morning was STS 2 Body Parts Shoulders. Then I got a bit of cleaning done. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of my day.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on Tabatacise! That one is a toughie. Oh darn, the disc froze so you got to have some extra breaths!

Cheryl Great job on STS2 BP Shoulders! Yeah, I imagine with how much rain you get you are used to it too. Plus it is nice you live in an area where you can walk to things you need to go to anyway. My walking choices are the post office which is where my mail is delivered and the corn fields! :D

This morning was my upper body day! My shoulder is doing better but I am still taking it easy and lifting a little lighter and trying to do my rehab exercises too. It is really windy out. Trying to work and listening to the wind howl.

Have a great day!
