Missy, what do you use to keep the weeds out of your veggie beds? Hay? The weeding is killer!
Watercress is considered an herb, I just read, but tastes like arugula! Bitter.
I love the idea of a salad veggie bed, but realistically, between the weeds, watering, bugs eating the foliage, grubs, goodness-knows-what-else, it's easier not to.
Mary, I don't think I could handle HC myself. My planks with Cathe wear me out FAST.
I wonder if you'll have to take many rest days to heal that hamstring... Maybe a foam roller, heating pad, icing, prolonged stretching??
My CA sis is the youngest to me, the oldest.
Carolyn, where are you??
What an absolute gorgeous day it's turned out to be!

This morning I did BS Ch, Back and Shoulders. I am trying to keep track of my weights with the BS workouts, but I am having trouble increasing. Maybe it is the time of day?! I also plan to walk at lunch, it is supposed to be a beautiful day but then downhill the rest of the week.
Did anyone see on the news about those 3 women who were missing and have been found after 10 years? Amazing story even though we don't know much at this time.
Betty, congrats on the healthy eating. With my sister here I am not snacking as much, but after dinner we sit with a glass or 2 of wine and chat. I'm not giving that up.
Missy, I think I missed it, what happened to your foot??? I hope it starts to improve for you, but the spin bike will give it some rest.
Carolyn, I am finding a tennis ball massage on my glute/hamstring feels really good, but I can still feel it during the day. I should probably give it a complete rest but that is so hard to do.
Have a great day!

Good (beautiful) day! We need that beneficial rain coming later tomorrow!
I have soreness from BB LB & BS Ch, but nothing painful or major--just pleasant for those of us who like it.
We are all nursing some pain at one time or another! Can you say old?? (Missy, you are far from old though!)
It IS unbelievable that those women were right under everyone's noses! They must have been seriously brainwashed. So many sickos out there. Aren't neighbors nosy any more?? DS mentions nosy Aunt Petunia from Harry Potter, but I remember the wife of Abner (can't remember her name) in Bewitched constantly telling him Samantha (the secret witch) is doing this or that as she peeks at their house.

Good morning!
Yesterday I did a 3 mile walk and today was 3 upper body segments from bb.
Carolyn, you need yin yoga for your knee it has made such a big difference for me. BB has also helped me to strengthen my quads.
Mary, glad the tennis ball helps. How long is your sister visiting? Where do your other siblings live? I'm the youngest of 4.
Betty, I don't let that bother me with Leah. I just do what I can because I usually can't keep up with her anyhow. Her total body DVD is not a voice over and I've read it's much better. I'm used to her downloads which are voice over as well. I know the production is not as good as cathe but I'm loving the results. I love her legs as well.
Missy, your garden is wonderful. I would really like to have one someday. I hope your foot is ok. Can you maybe massage it with a tennis ball?

Wow, the sun is surprisingly hot and the air warm today! But only to reach 70 or so.
Missy, I just bought a bunch of 6-pks to plant! Roma tomato, kale, and salad bowl.
Sad that I have Ride and CM and have only used them each once.
Mary, how fab to enjoy a glass of wine with your sis! Is she exercise-minded like you? My CA sis and I are, so when we're together, we can motivate one another to eat better, go walking more often, use an extra person's recipes....
I take my healthy eating day by day. Often I don't last very long without eating some dessert, or kettlecorn. The other night I saw ice cream when I was on the computer, and the next thing I knew, a Skinny Cow was in my hand.
Better go have lunch and plant my new plants. Some things I ordered online arrived today too. Also have laundry to fold, and miles to spin...

Beets make your pee pink?? I didn't know that!
Carolyn, that's exactly what I've been doing lately, cringing at so many workouts!
I have a super old Cathe workout where they're wearing leotards and headbands. I think it's MIS/IMAX. It's just too much to look at!
I was outside with a white sun hat on. Earlier, a little bird landed on my head! Wasn't till I lifted my hands up that the bird flew away. Then I was afraid to look for poop, but phew! None!

Where is everyone??
Spent SO many hours planting, then DS had an evening concert.
Rest your weary bones and achy muscles!
XT of some sort tomorrow. Incidentally, the back of my quads were newly sore with a combination of BB LB and squatting/bending in garden. Is that the hamstring?

Hi girls,
This morning I ended up selecting SuperCuts, 100 RC Hip Thrusts, and Extended Stretch. I don't know if it's age or what but I feel constantly achy (and cranky) from the workouts. So then I feel unenthusiastic as I'm doing them. I don't feel like pulling out the weights, don't want to pull out the step... Ugh. Burned out, I guess.
I had a lightbulb moment go off during today's workout, as I was feeling the pain: why not more frequently pull out all those Cathe workouts that I filed under "not intense enough", or still have yet to master?? One example of the first is the MMA ones, and of the second is the step ones from Shock Cardio, 4DS, LICh, RS, just to name a few.
Well, I got the glutes good this week, between BB LB and today's 100 RC. And yesterday's bending and squatting.
Carolyn, let us know how the Lastics goes. I think I need serious formal stretching everyday.
I planted all the stuff I bought yesterday. Duh, I probably shouldn't have planted the tomatoes yet! Will have to watch out for frost.
DS had a chorus concert last evening. He plays piano, but recital will be next month.
Missy, how's your foot today?

Betty and Carolyn, I have been feeling the same way about my workouts lately. Like they are all so hard/intense, what's the point. I did CSS this morning but it took me a while to decide. And I never 'let' myself do the easier ones.
Said goodbye to my sister this morning, feeling low. Wish she lived closer, but I will see her again in Aug. for family vacation. She is very fit but does not workout so much in a formal way. When her oldest took up crew in High School, my sister went to a 'learn to row' session and also took up crew/rowing. So she rows 3 or 4 times a week, and also hikes a day or 2. Southern CA is more suited for that than around here.
Carolyn, what Wags did you get?
Missy, how exciting on the bike!
