Strength in Numbers

Cheryl Great job on your Upper Body and Core workout! I hope it was a good trip with your MIL. I can understand that kind of relationship and the anxiety that comes leading up to seeing them. I am glad the fires are not near you and the one that did start was put out before there was too much damage. I don't understand people anymore with starting fires either intentionally or with shear carelessness. Glad your cousins didn't lose their home. The fires have definitely been crazy this year. Hopefully this isn't a new trend.

This morning was my upper body weights! Another morning of nausea. It doesn't last long and goes away after a few sets. It usually just means the first exercise or two isn't that great. Last night Ruby almost caught a squirrel. Not sure what the squirrel was thinking. Ruby was watching it come down the trunk of the tree in our yard. I think the squirrel thought it could quickly jump the fence and get away but it ended up bouncing off the fence and scrambling back up the tree while Ruby chased it. It was kind of funny!

Have a great day!
 
This morning was my sleep in day. It is supposed to be rainy all weekend. We got some winds and storms yesterday and it knocked a bunch of pears off my tree. I would love to be able to get out and pick this up between the rain.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Getting together with my MIL wasn't too bad. But every time is different. I agree that the fired have been crazy this year. Each year they seem to get worse. Great work on your upper body workout. That is so strange about the nausea, hopefully it goes away soon. Too funny about the squirrel. I wonder what Ruby would do if she caught it. That sucks that it is going to rain all weekend. Hopefully you will get some breaks between the rains.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday as it was really busy. Wednesday morning I met up with a friend for a walk/hike and then as soon as I got home I had to get ready to go to the SPCA as our transfer came in a day early. Then once I was done there I had to go and get groceries. I was pretty pooped by the time I got home. This morning I did a Pilates Barre Fusion workout and the I got the laundry and housework done. Now I think I am just going to relax. It is a hot day here and it looks like it will continue through the weekend.

Have a great day.

Cheryl Great job on your walk and Pilates Barre Fusion workout! I'm glad that your visit with your MIL went well. Oh I know what Ruby would have done. She would have killed the poor squirrel. She has killed 3 rabbits that we know of. Her prey drive is pretty high.

Friday was my lower body weights and then I found a good hour without rain that I could get the pears done. I got another 5 gallon bucket and no I have no room in my fridge for anything else. Saturday was my mobility day and then DH did a few things around the house before relaxing. Sunday was my upper body weights and this morning I slept in.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Wow Ruby does have a high prey drive. That is a lot of pears. Will you freeze them all or give some away? Good work on your lower body workout your mobility work and your upper body workout.

Friday I did a shoulder and glute workout and then I don't remember what I did for the rest of the day. Saturday was dragon boat practice and then I pretty much relaxed the rest of the day. Sunday was may day off but I went to the farmers market. They had a car free day here yesterday so we went with our friend and wandered around for a while. Then we went and got something to eat. This morning was a lower body workout. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of my day.

Have a great day.

Cheryl Great job on our shoulder and glute workout, dragon boat practice, and your lower body workout! A car free day sounds cool. My small town it wouldn't matter but I can see in more populated areas that would be nice to have once in a while. I gave one giant bowl away to one neighbor and I have another neighbor I need to find time to get them over to. I don't freeze them but they do hold up pretty well in the fridge so I will be eating pears for a few months.

This morning was my lower body weights. I started out feeling ok but then the nausea hit once I started my first exercise. Luckily it subsided by the time I got to my heavy squats which are my third exercise in. I wonder if wearing one of those sea sickness patches people on cruises wear would help?

Have a great day!
 
Julie That is great that your neighbors can enjoy them as well and that they keep in the fridge. Good work on your lower body weights. The sea sick patches may work and maybe even some gravol may help.

This morning was a upper body workout and then I got groceries. This afternoon I met up with a friend for coffee. Then we had to stop and pick up some things to take over to my MIL's tomorrow. One of DH's friends is going to meet up with us there to help clean up her yard and to fix on of her toilets.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Cheryl Great job on your upper body workout! Oh wow that is really nice of your DH's friend to help out like that. I will have to look into gravol. I have never heard of it before.

This morning was my upper body weights. I didn't have nausea this time! Not sure what was different but I will take it.

Have a great day!
 
Julie I googled gravol and it may only be available in Canada or under a different name in the U.S.. Great work on your upper body workout and no nausea.

This morning was Pilates. Now I need to get ready to go to my MIL's to get some yard work done.

Have a great day.
