Strength in Numbers

Julie Great job bon your lower body, mobility, and upper body workouts! I hope you were able to get a good sleep in!

Yesterday was my rest day. It was a mostly lazy day with a little cleaning and Ashley and I took DH to Drive Shack in the afternoon for Father’s Day. I am terrible at hitting a golf ball, but it was still fun. This morning was Killer Legs with the Barre bonus. Our brand new AC unit upstairs quit working yesterday, so it was a hot workout this morning. The poor kitties are panting from the heat. Hopefully they will get out here today and get it working again. Have a great day!

Pam Great work on Imax.

Julie Good job on your lower body, mobility and upper body workouts. Nice that you are getting some warmer weather.

Pam I think a driving range is a lot more fun than actually golfing. Good work on Killer Legs + Barre Bonus. I hope they get your air conditioner working soon.

Saturday I went to dragon boat practice and then out to see my mom. Sunday I went to the farmers market and then out to see my mom. This morning I did LM&R Functional Total Body and then went out to see my mom. My brother was there too and she is now unresponsive. She has been hanging on for over 4 weeks now. I am not sure how much longer she will hold on. I am going to go for a manicure in just a bit to treat myself. It has been a very stressful month.

Have a great day.

Pam Great job on Killer Legs plus BB! I have never been golfing, well I have been mini golfing 1 time. DH and I used to play Tiger Woods golf on the Nintendo Wii years ago and I beat him every time though. I hope you got the ac working.

Cheryl I am sorry things have been stressful. Good to see you have been finding ways to help deal with the stress. Hope you enjoyed the manicure.

This morning was a lower body workout. We are supposed to get thunderstorms tonight and most of tomorrow. My team was supposed to walk to Dairy Queen to get ice cream this afternoon but we may have to postpone.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on LM&R FTB. 4 weeks is a long time to go like that. A manicure will be a nice treat for you.

Julie Great job on your lower body workout. I hope you get to have your dairy queen outing!

This morning was Hard Strikes. I was pretty much a full set behind on the su+pu combo from the start. I was blaming the heat . Then we had to go drop my car off to get the windshield replaced. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on HS! The heat can definitely affect the workout.

This morning was an upper body workout. We ended up not walking over to DQ. It didn't rain but it was 90 with a high humidity. We will try another day.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on your upper body workout. i don’t blame you for skipping the walk in that weather!

Luckily the problem with our AC was a really quick fix yesterday because it is supposed to be 96 today. The kittens all had a lot more energy this morning with it being cooler up there! This morning for me was Imax 2 and my favorite 128 Jeannie hops! I don’t think I would have been able to do that one if the AC wasn’t working. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Glad you got your AC fixed! I think it is supposed to be hot almost everywhere this whole weekend. Great job on Imax 2 and all those Jeannie hops!

This morning was my sleep in day! Excited for the weekend but it is supposed to be super hot and muggy so probably not a lot of being outside. Unfortunately that may mean no excuse for not cleaning inside.

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie Yep, we are in for some really hot days too. The first 3 days next week are all supposed to hit 100. I can always find an excuse for not cleaning .

This morning was STS 2 Upper body 1 and Abs, standing core plus floor. Now I’m figuring out what to do with my day. Have a great one.

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your lower body workout.

Pam Great work on Hard Strikes and the su+pu combo.

Julie Great job on your upper body workout. I wouldn't want to go for a walk in that heat even if is was for ice cream.

Pam Glad that you could get your air conditioning fixed fast. Good job on Imax 2.

Julie Enjoy your weekend. I am sure you can come up with an excuse not to clean :D.

Pam Good work on STS 2 Upper Body 1 and Standing Core Plus Floor. Enjoy whatever you decide to do with the rest of your day.

So Monday evening my mom passed away. It was sad but also a relief. The last 6 months of her life have not been the best and now she is in a better place. We are taking this week to de-stress before we start to clean out her place. I have been working out to help with the stress though I can't remember what I did Tuesday I did STS 2 Giant Sets on Wednesday and then went to the SPCA to help out with our transfer and this morning I did STS 2 No Equipment Abs and Chair Yoga. I think this is the first day in over a month that I really have nowhere to go and anything to do. It feels weird but nice.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on STS 2 UB 1 plus abs SCPF! Hope you are staying cool.

Cheryl I hope your mom went as peacefully as possible. I am glad you are taking some time to decompress and finding ways to destress.

Friday I did my lower body workout and then did some things around the house. Saturday was my mobility and some things around the house and then we travelled a few hours away to trade in DH's truck for a minivan. Yep I am the proud owner of a minivan now. It will be so much easier to get the dogs in and out of the minivan then DH's truck or even my car as they were not wanting to jump up in the car either. Sunday was my upper body day and this morning I slept in. We are in for some crazy temps this whole week with over 100 heat index!

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom, but it definitely is a relief when it gets to the point where there is no quality of life. I’m glad you are able to get some stress relief in. Great job on STS2 GS , NE Abs, and chair yoga! It is a very weird feeling when you suddenly have nothing you need to do like that.

Julie Great job on your lower boyd, mobility, and upper body workouts. I have never owned a minivan, but I know it will make things a lot easier with the dogs. Trucks are too high and I bet it will be nice to have all of that space.

Friday I did Cardio Leg blast and I can’t remember what I did the rest of the day. Saturday I had a wish so took it as my day off so I wouldn’t be too rushed in the morning. It ended up taking most of the day because we had to put together a desk and chair and set up a computer and two monitors. It was a surprise which are the most fun and she was so excited. Sunday I did Cardio Party and this morning was STS 2 Totat body tri sets. It’s our first day of 4 in a row with highs over 100 degrees today, so it will either be an inside day or a pool day. Have a great one!

Pam
 
Julie Great job on your lower body workout, your mobility work and your upper body workout. A mini van would be easier for the dogs to get in and out of than a truck. You are sure getting some hot weather.

Pam Good work on Cardio Leg Blast, Cardio Party and STS 2 Total Body Trisets. It would be an inside day for me with those temperatures.

So Friday I did STS 2 Total Body Supersets. Then I did some laundry and got things ready for my dragon boat regatta. So Saturday and Sunday was the Concord Pacific Dragon boat regatta which had over 200 teams from around the world. It was also the 30th anniversary of Abreast in a Boat which started in Vancouver to prove that women could do upper body work after having breast cancer. Now there are hundreds of teams around the world so there was a special celebration for that. Our team did well but we missed a medal by 2 seconds. I was pooped by the end of that so I took today as a day off. Now I need to go out and meet up with my brother to start cleaning out our mom's place and then we have a meeting with the bank.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on CLB, CP, and STS 2 TBS! Oh a surprise wish event sounds fun. Glad she liked it. Hope you are staying cool. Maybe a mix of pool and inside.

Cheryl Great job on STS 2 TBSS! Wow that sounds like a really cool regatta. Bummer on missing the medal by 2 seconds. That is so close.

This morning was a lower body day. Walking into the office this morning at 6:45 and it already felt like a sauna outside. I have errands to run after work while I am in town and that should be fun in the heat.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on STS 2 TBS! The regatta sounds amazing. What a bummer that you missed a medal by such a small amount, but you did really well coming that close, especially with so many teams there! It sounds like you don’t have a very fun week ahead of you, I hope it doesn’t take too long to get everything done.

Julie Great job on your lower body workout. Our windows were all steamed up when we woke up this mornings. I haven’t even looked to see what the forecast looks like for the rest of the week. Try to stay cool!

This morning was Kick, Punch, and Crunch. I didn’t do all of the pikes, but hung in there and substituted knee-ins for some of them. I’m never sure if I’ll be able to do any before I try them . Today I have a birthday lunch for a friend and my crochet group so DH is handling the cats annual check ups. It shouldn’t be too bad though because it’s a mobile vet so he just needs to get them rounded up before she comes. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good work on your lower body workout. That heat does not sound nice at all.

Pam Great job on KPC. Those pikes are hard, good for you to substitute the knee-ins. Enjoy your birthday lunch. That is handy to have a mobile vet.

I am still super tired so I am taking another day off. I checked my blood pressure for the last couple of mornings and it is really low so that may be one reason why I am so tired. I need to get back out to my mom's place this morning to do some more cleaning. We did get quite a bit done yesterday but there is still a lot to do.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Pam Great job on KPC! Those pikes are diabolical. Hopefully your DH had no problem herding the kitties!

Cheryl Hopefully you can get your blood pressure normalized and you start to feel better. It always takes longer than you think to clean things out.

This morning I did an upper body workout. This is my first week where I will no longer have to go in to the office 2 days a week on a regular basis. My team moved departments and this department only requires us go into the office on Tuesdays. So excited to have an extra day to not drive and be with my furbabies!

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl It’s such a big job cleaning a place out. I’m sure it will be a relief when you are finished. I was expecting you to say your blood pressure was high from all of the stress, but low definitely could explain a lack of enerGy. I hope you are able to get everything back to normal soon!

Julie Great job on your upper body workout. That’s great that you don’t have to go into the office as much anymore. I’m sure your fur babies will be just as happy about it as you are.

This morning was PHA 2. I really like that one but for some reason I never think about doing it. Then I had a hair appointment and got a pedicure to get ready for Carl’s wedding! I can’t believe it’s just a little over a week away. Have a great day!

Pam
 
Pam Great job on PHA2! A pedicure sounds like a nice way to spend the day.

This morning was my sleep in day. The weather people are saying we are supposed to be getting some relief from the heat soon but it looks like maybe only 10 degrees. At least it is something.

Have a great weekend!
 
Julie I hope you had a good sleep in! Our relief from the heat is we’re only supposed to get up to 97 today

This morning was Imax 3 and the abs from Body Max 2. I hadn’t done Imax 3 in a long time and it was harder than I remembered! Have a great day!

Pam
 
Julie Good job on your upper body workout. That is great that you only need to drive into the office once a week. I am sure your fur babies will love it too.

Pam Great work on PHA 2. I like that one as well. A hair appointment and pedicure is a great way to spend the day.

Julie I hope you get some relief from the heat. Enjoy your weekend.

Pam Good job on Imax 3 and the abs from BM2.

Yesterday I didn't workout again but I went out to my mom's again. DH and my SIL also came to give us a hand with cleaning things out. We are about 3/4s of the way there and should get the majority done on Saturday. Then it will only be finding a charity to take the larger furniture. This morning I did LM&R Functional Barre. Then I went to the SPCA to help,

Have a great day.
