Morning Ladies,
Had a great weekend despite the fact that it rained all weekend. On Friday I got in the KCM RAW Front and Body Revolution Workout #5. On Saturday I did YW365 Gentle Warrior, which I really enjoyed. On Sunday I didn't workout at all, it was a very busy day. My oldest and my SIL came over with their pups, so they where playing with Rocket. I then went out with the oldest to do a little shopping, it was just fun to be with her for a while. We went out to eat for dinner, and the youngest was able to join us after she was done with work. I'm going to do F/S Push after I get home. This morning I did KCM's RAW Kickboxing & Olympic Lifts. This one was more cardio, the bar I used was very light.
No walk this morning, we where having a thunder storm.
Laurel, As you can see I'm on board with the Front/Back workouts for another month, I really do love it and my body seems to enjoy it too. This way I can get through all the Body Revolution workouts again, and maybe up the weights just a little more. Great job with your workouts! Awesome news that you have a chance to go to Hawaii, what a change that would be for both of you. I would be good with that type of move also. Now onto the movie, I really enjoyed the whole movie it was intense. The ending left me frustrated, because you have to wait for part 2. It will be a big draw for anyone that watched this movie to see part 2, because you really want to know what is going on.
Tami, Awesome news on your DH! I hope that he is going to heed the Dr. and start taking care of himself. Those are just the type of things that can get someone motivated. I'm still working on my DH to see if he will join me for weight work. I'm betting that you are in a much better frame of mind also, it had to be hard on you also. Great job on those workouts!
Thelma, Great job on those workouts, you are really finding some interesting ones. I have done some workouts with Tracey Mallett, and they have been good. I'm sure that you are really looking forward to having some time off. I enjoyed my day off very much, even though it was raining all day. It was just nice to spend some time with DH, he even went to Michael's with me. Had to get a knitting needle that I didn't have to finish a project. I'm glad to hear that your project is moving along well. Once you get your vacation, I'm sure that tiredness will go away.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Ladies! Another very quiet weekend for me, but I enjoyed it. I will be very glad when DH gets home, but, for now, I am enjoying doing things I don’t get much chance to do when he is home....like reading. He’s only been gone two weeks, and I have already finished three books....one at nearly 900 pages long! I am beginning to think I could live happily with little to no TV time ever.
Well, we made our decision on Hawaii.....and said no. 
It does make me sad because I know we would love the climate. But his salary would go down by about 40% (which is pretty significant), and we would be looking at almost 1 million dollars for a house (which is also pretty significant!). And we decided it was just a bit too much of a financial hit at this age....when we really need to be planning for retirement. So, again, . But as I said to DH, I would rather be sad than panicked. And I think I would feel about panicky if we had said yes. I hope by next winter I will have developed a case of amnesia and forgotten Hawaii was ever an option though.
Anyhow, for workouts this weekend, on Saturday I did another Cize workout (You Got This) to warm up. Really enjoying doing these right now. Then I followed it with P90X2 Yoga, which is so good. Yesterday it was Cathe’s Cardio Fusion Max premix and the core work from Body Max 2. And today I did F/S Push followed by Cathe Live Birthday Blast.
Yay for all of us extending this month! Since both Thelma and Laurie mentioned doing it for another month, I am going to go with that. So Thelma asked when we would start the One Body Part rotation, and I think that will be June 10. Actually, the more I think about this, doing those two months of one body part in the height of summer will be absolutely perfect because it is so easy to mash a couple of body parts together for a day or two if we decide to head off somewhere. So I am excited!! Thank you, Ladies! You are the best!
Tami, I so hope you and DH got a chance to relax this weekend. I bet it is such a weight off both your minds right now. Great workouts to end the week last week!
Thelma, great workouts! Glad you enjoyed the new ones. That is a pretty old workout. No, DH is still in Korea, which made making the decision about Hawaii all the harder. Depending on the time of day we were talking one of us was either just waking up or going to sleep! Made for some interesting conversations.
But, unlike the move here to Alaska, we were both on the same wave length.....both really, really wanting to move but both knowing it wasn’t the smartest option. Because we saw it the same way, I feel really comfortable with the decision.
Laurie, sounds like you enjoyed your Mother’s Day. I am glad you were able to spend time with both your daughters. Happy you didn’t mind the last minute change of plans to our rotation! I didn’t think you would after what you said last week. Thank you for the movie review. Sounds like a good one to see. I don’t mind cliff hanger endings, so I will probably enjoy it.
Off to get summer highlights in my hair. Now we just need summer......

Hi Ladies,
Wowsa, what a week! The youngest is now recovered, but hubby and the oldest were sick this weekend and both home with me today while I worked. I am crossing my fingers that I don't get this, as it's a busy week of sports, a full weekend of events and then my hubby is gone for a business trip next Monday and Tuesday. So far, so good. Just super tired, but I think it's just because I'm fighting it. Workouts are still super fun...I'm just picking based on what I feel like doing each day, as opposed to planning it out.
Laurel, sounds like you've been enjoying your "me" time with some good books...sounds heavenly! Great workouts...I may have to try the 2 step ones...I don't have any step on my list of Live to try, but I might have to reconsider. Good choice on staying put in Alaska...the cost just isn't worth it, even if the climate is nice. Tough decision though, for sure!
Laurie, wonderful weekend with the family, it sounds like! We have been getting a lot of rain here too, just no storms yet. So far, we've been able to still get lacrosse in as the timing of the rain has been when we aren't on the field. We'll see if that continues! I'm curious now about Kelly's step...sounds like a perfect one for me!
Thelma, I'm glad to hear your boss is noticing your hard work, and making sure to let you know. That has to feel good...nothing worse than hard work going unnoticed! I like your workouts from the weekend...the Pilates one has always been a fun one for me!
Tami, I'm so relieved to hear the dr appt went well! What a relief! I do believe that having pneumonia causes your thoughts to make you think the pain/symptoms are worse than what they actually are. My hubby's cold moved to bronchitis in 2 days and we're currently watching for symptoms of pneumonia. But, he's been telling me how he's sure he can't breathe, it hurts, etc. I might have lost my patience yesterday with him a bit (oops). I know it doesn't feel good to feel like breathing is tough, but to have a doctor confirm oxygen levels are fine (which we've been down the road of many, many times in the past few years) makes me think he's just worried about pneumonia hitting again. I'm considering getting him an oxygen level reader to calm his nerves!
Enjoy your evening, ladies. I just got word that lacrosse is cancelled, so I'm going to thoroughly enjoy relaxing tonight!!

Hi ladies, tonight I did Fit Split Mixed Impact Cardio & Just Push, Stretching.
Laurie, great workouts. Glad you had such a nice weekend even though it rained! Funny about taking your DH to Michael's with you. My DH is good about going to the stores with me too.
I've been finding some really good workouts lately. I felt that I needed a break from Jessica Smith. I am looking forward to our vacation. We have about 15 houses we want to see between GA and NC.
Laurel, great workouts! You're making me want to do Cize again!
I see that your DH is still in Korea. Wow, you've kept yourself pretty busy! I could not survive without tv or the internet. Sometimes I just like to have the tv on even if I'm not paying attention.
I'm sorry you said no to Hawaii, but in my book, you made the right choice financially. You definitely need to be thinking retirement. A significant salary cut and mortgage will not help your retirement plans. Dream about AL, TN, GA or NC!!! It gets hot there too and they don't have volcano eruptions! Speaking of! How scary!!
OMG, with those phone call times but it's the time difference I know!
Hi Erika, glad your youngest is back to normal. I hope your DH and oldest recover soon. Hopefully, you won't catch it! Great job getting your workouts in despite your busy life!
My boss is really good at recognizing good work. He must be hearing good things about me from others which is great.
I liked the workouts I did this weekend because they were standing work. Floor Pilates can be a killer and I wasn't in the mood for that.
Hi Tami!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Got in my F/S Push workout after work, and was able to up the weight. I now wonder why I just don't do weight work at that time of the day from now on. I was feeling great with the weight I chose. This morning was KCM's 30MTF Cardio Pump workout #1 and a walk with DH & Rocket.
Laurel, Dang on Hawaii, but that is a huge cut in pay for an area that is very expensive to live. I can understand why you both chose no on that offer. Great job on the workouts, they sound like fun. Oh you got in P90X2 Yoga also, I bet that was nice to revisit. It really surprises me how these short F/S workouts really give me DOMS after I just up the weight a little bit. Great job getting your reading list down, I have not read a book in a while. With summer coming on I really like to go outside to read and enjoy the sun. Hopefully we will be seeing that at some point, but so far it has been raining and cloudy. I so want to get out to do a yoga workout at some point.
Erika, I'm sorry to hear that everyone was so sick, but glad to hear that they are on the road to recovery. Glad to hear that you are still enjoying all your workouts. I really enjoy Kelly's step, she usually infuses kickboxing moves into them too. But all of them are super simple, so I'm not stopping to try and understand what she is doing. The step workouts that she has on her Raw channel are fun to do also, I actually like those the most. The Cardio Core workout in her Build & Burn series is probably the best one, just a fun way to get core work in with your cardio. Those DH's of ours, mine is still coughing from his sickness. Of course he went to the doctor, but he must still have a sinus infection or something.
Thelma, Nice job with the workouts. Hey I can understand wanting a change of pace with a different instructor, it is something that I do often. I'm looking at adding in more Tae Bo into the mix. How nice that you will be looking at homes during your vacation, I know that you enjoyed that last year too. My DH is really good about hanging out with me at the stores I love, and I'm surprised he is always okay with me adding to my stash of yarn. It is getting larger and larger with all the projects that I want to do.
Tami, Hope your week is going well.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! I really enjoyed my hair appointment yesterday and the new blond-ish highlights. Now I just need sunshine to go along with it. Today’s workout started with F/S Pull, and I really took the weight up a notch. I am really surprised how strong I am feeling lately. I was definitely feeling it by the end, but in a good way. For cardio, I did a fun combo of Cathe Live Cross Fire Express and Cross Fire Quick Fox.
Erika, I am sorry to hear the family is still sick! I really hope you don’t come down with it. I think you might like some of the Cathe Live step workouts. Power Step is one that comes to mind that is short, tough (but not brutal), and has little to no choreography. I think it is from back in 2014/2015. Just a recommendation on a place to start. Sounds like everything is still crazy busy for you.
Thelma, I think about you every time I do a Cize workout. I hear you cheering me on, encouraging me to dance! I won’t do these workouts with DH around, but while he is away....they really are fun. I will be so anxious to hear your thoughts from your trip. DH has talked to his corporate people about a possible job with this same company when we leave here, and they are open to it. They are in Huntsville, Alabama, so we would definitely be looking at possibly retiring in the NC, GA, TN area if we end up in Alabama next. But life has a way of surprising us 
, so who knows? You aren’t kidding about the volcano in Hawaii! That is scary stuff. Great workout, btw!
Laurie, isn’t it funny how changing your workout time can change the way a workout feels? I remember when I was working I tried just once to workout before work.....and it about killed me! I always had to leave my workout until evening when I worked. So color me shocked I now workout in the morning. But, of course, I am not as tired as I was when I worked, and, no question, that has a lot to do with it. I really enjoyed revisiting P90X2 Yoga. I may even try to get in YogaX while DH is gone. But 90 minutes for yoga, no matter how I much I love it, still puts me off a bit. Hope you get some sunny weather soon. We are kind of in the same weather pattern as you right now.
Tami, hope all is well.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies and Happy Tuesday! Weekend was good. We had fabulous weather both days and I was able to just enjoy my time off. Didn’t go in to the office at all. We celebrated Mother’s Day with my in-laws and took them out to dinner, it was very nice. Workouts were KCM Strength & Stamina (60 min pre-mix) and then on Sunday I did Cathe’s To The Max Xtreme pre-mix. WHOA! It has been a long time since I did that one and I do always love it. Yesterday was BootCamp and of course since it was 80 degrees out she had us run outside. It was down the cement tennis court/parking lot and back several times in between rounds of weights, cardio and more weights inside. Quite the workout. I do have to say I just started putting SuperFeet insoles in my shoes and my achilles was not hurting at all. Thank goodness! I am a true believer. So funny, I have told many people about these because of saving DH due to his PF issues and my sister was converted immediately. SO I decided to try them for my issue as well. SCORE! So happy I am not in pain today.
This a.m. I decided on F|S Pull (instead of PUSH) because we did so much shoulder work last night. Will not be going to Running Camp Part 2 despite my new pain relief in my foot.
Thelma: I did a little of that over the weekend as well. I took a few bags of clothes I was “collecting” in the spare bedrooms to go to Goodwill. Well they finally made their destination. Still need to do a better look through in my closet but at least some is gone, DH too. Fantastic job with your workouts! You and me both hope DH starts going to the gym with his friend OR we get a piece of equipment. I vote for the gym to see if he goes first. The man he would go with his so nice and an older gentleman that he met through business. Would not be threatening at all to go with him.
Laurie: Sorry to hear about your rainy weekend but it sounds like a busy and nice weekend with your family! Great job with your workouts. Thank you for the support and kudos on DH! Yes, I feel a lot better and he actually said the words on Sunday evening that he finally felt “normal”. Which was so nice to hear. He has been sleeping good again and still talking about working out. So it is on his mind forsure. Even talked about getting an elliptical.
Laurel: Sounds like you had a nice relaxing weekend. I was able to sit outside a bit and read as well on Sunday. It felt so nice. I don’t really get that many chances to just read a book unless I am on an airplane and then at my sisters place. Sorry to hear about Hawaii already being shot down BUT a 40% pay cut and high living expenses for retirement would not be fun to be in beauty and stressed out. Maybe next winter you could go for a nice little vaca instead. Then amnesia won’t have to set in. LOL Way to go with all the variety of your workouts! Thank you for the updated on our official extension in the rotation and when I should plan for the One Body Part rotation to start! YAY. Sounds perfect. I will have to make some notes on what to do moving into that. A lot of Ramped Up Upper Body sounds good with some added on Muscle Meltdowns.
Erika: Sorry to hear about your family having the sickies! Dang it. I can only relate to much with that. Fingers crossed you don’t get it either. Your poor DH. I love that through it all you are sticking to your workouts and loving what you are doing there. I have a terrible time just picking one and going with it. I get across the room to put it in and think, “wait, maybe _________ would be better” LOL So great job just being intuitive with it and loving it! Thank you so much for the well wishes as well on DH. Truly you can understand what we have been going through. I’m going to cross the next bridge when we get to it in a few months. Until then I hope he does take some of the doctor’s advice and starts to get some exercise.
Have a great afternoon/evening ladies! Talk to you tomorrow ~ Tami

Hi ladies, so far a good week at work. Thank you, Lord! I had a long day today and was mentally and physically exhausted when I got home. I tried hard to talk myself out of working out and I failed. All I could handle was the type of workout where you don't even break a sweat. So I went with a Jessica Smith beginners walking workout. Right in the beginning, the streaming got stuck (it froze) so a 30-minute workout turned into a 45-minute workout because I kept going until the video started playing again. I never broke into a sweat but at least I burned about 242 calories which is pretty good given how I felt.
Laurie, great workouts and another winning day for your DH with another morning walk! I wish I could get DH to walk with me around our neighborhood. We walk when on vacation but won't do it here. I used to love Tae Bo workouts but stopped liking them when he started doing pushups during the warmups. That was a big turn off for me. Funny about your yarn stash! At least you do use it! We are so looking forward to house window shopping! LOL
Laurel, great workouts today! Glad you enjoyed your hair appointment. What kind of temps are you having now?
That Cize workout is fun. He really is a good dance instructor. I hope your husband gets a job he likes in a nice, warm place!
Tami, when I read your Bootcamp workout description all I could think of was: I would've kept running to my car and taken off! LOL. Great workouts though. How nice that you've found those insoles and are helping you with Achilles tendon issue!
I need to get rid of some clothes myself. That will be a task for another day!
It never crossed my mind that your DH might feel threatened by the fit bodies at the gym BUT, I feel that way myself. So why am I shocked someone else might feel threated too? Don't ask! LOL. What about taking little walks with Bernie?
Hi Erika!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday a church that is over 100 years old burnt down, and it was a beautiful old Lutheran Church that built in 1878. My DH works across the street from the church, and got some pics and had to experience all the smoke and electrical concerns that they had to go through in their building.
After work yesterday I did get in FitSplit Pull. This morning was KCM's RAW Cardio Crush and Cardio Finisher and our walk.
Laurel, Glad to hear that your hair turn out so nice. Awesome job on the workouts. You are having the same feeling that I am with these workouts. I feel really good in the mornings to do cardio, but the weight work seemed to be so much harder. Probably because I didn't have anything in my stomach. So for me doing weight work fasting isn't the answer. I think 90 min. of yoga is daunting, so really don't attempt P90X yoga very often. I like an hour or less.
Tami, Great job on all the workouts, you really got in some tough ones. I will have to check into those insoles, since you where running with them. Sounds like a nice day with your in-laws. I'm so glad to hear that both of you are over the stress that you probably where going through. It is crazy how that type of stress can affect us. I notice it in your workouts, they are tough ones. It would be wonderful if my DH got on the elliptical once in a while. He is doing the morning walk, so I won't push it to much yet.
Thelma, Sorry to hear that you where so tired, and glad that you got in that workout even though it wasn't a sweaty one. That is still an impressive calorie burn. I was turned off Tae Bo because he was doing these crazy moves in his boot camp workouts. I just couldn't follow what he was wanting everyone to do. Up/Down Up/Down. It was crazy. LOL I love that house window shopping.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! For cardio today I decided to challenge myself with my first ‘extreme’ spin workout. I chose Cycle Sweat Extreme because it is the shortest of Cathe’s extreme spin premixes. It was 74 minutes....and I made it! Actually, I really enjoyed it. When I first saw Cathe had put extreme or doubled premixes on her cycle workouts, I immediately thought ‘Nope. Never happening.’ Now......I’m saying ‘I wonder if I should try another’. Love that! Anyhow, I followed it with F/S Abs.....and about a gallon of water. She used the word ‘sweat’ very appropriately in the title of that spin workout.
Tami, sounds like a wonderful weekend! I am glad you were able to take a break from work and enjoy the weekend. I am so glad your DH is doing better as well. Also glad you found a way to tolerate the Running Camp. I will have to check out those insoles. I am not having any issues right now, but every now and again either my PF or achilles decides to talk to me. Glad you enjoyed the To The Max Extreme workout! That one will always rank, for me, as one of Cathe’s toughest premixes. I don’t know quite why, but it really gets me. I have to definitely have the energy and mindset for it. DH and I are talking about trying to plan a vacation after he gets back from Korea, that’s for sure. We won’t be able to have one until fall, but I will take what I can get right now. My only suggestion is to go somewhere very warm!
Thelma, I am glad this week is going well for you. I think choosing Jessica on days when you are that tired is a fantastic option. She is just so pleasant. Our temps right now are in the mid 50s to low 60s, and right at freezing or slightly above at night. So.....not bad, but not ‘summer’ either. We have been very cloudy and finally got some rain yesterday. I would be fine with these temps if the sun were shining. But at least I can have the windows open, and I am thankful for that. And things are beginning to turn green.
Laurie, that’s sad about that church. I hate to hear that. I wonder if they can find and restore anything from it. I hope so. Great workouts! Love the emphasis on ‘our’ walk. You have inspired me to encourage DH to go for walks when we gets back. I definitely prefer having something in my tummy when I start working out. On weekends, I workout on an empty stomach. But during the week, I get my breakfast in first. It really does make a huge difference.....and I really have to consider my Sunday workouts sometimes because of the fasting.
See you tomorrow.

Happy Wednesday, Ladies!
More Cathe Live workouts for me this week. Again, enjoying the weight workouts the most, with the cardio being fun but I don't enjoy those quite as much. Still having fun with them, regardless. It's fun to see Cathe be "real" and know she messes up on counting, moves, etc. Also fun to see some of the regulars in class!
Laurel, thanks for the step recommendation. I'm planning to try a few at some point. I did the blond highlights a few weeks ago too, and it really helped me get into the summer mood! Great job on pushing the heavy weights...that is my favorite feeling ever! I'm thinking of getting another round of STS going after I get through the live workouts. Missing my heavy weights!
Laurie, so sad to hear about the church burning down...I really enjoy those older churches and I've heard of a few burning down lately. Sounds like you're getting the nice weather in WI too, and enjoying the walks! I love that you've found a time of day that allows you to push the heavy weights. I'm learning a lot about timing of workouts for myself right now as well. I don't push as hard in the AM...best around lunchtime, but evenings help me fall asleep easier. Go figure!
Tami, that class in that heat sounds brutal! But, I'm sure it feels great to enjoy the warm weather we're finally getting! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the weekend, sans work! Those are the best weekends! I've been trying to be lazy on the weekends (because I never sit still and do nothing) and it's been helping me feel more prepared for the work/sports during the week!
Thelma, I'm so happy to hear this week has been better for you! I love that you also know exactly what type of workout to hit up when you get home. That's usually a huge challenge, especially with a draining day! I've been having fairly good luck with streaming lately, but have had some days like yours where the workout ends up being much longer due to trying to connect or buffer!
Back to relaxing on the patio until it's lacrosse pick up time. Everyone was back to work/school today, and I think the oldest and hubby are getting better. I'm still feeling good, just really tired at night, so I know my body is in overdrive trying to fight this bug off. I'm a huge believer of essential oils and have been running them non stop in our home...I think that might be what's saving me!
Have a great night!!
Erika

Hi ladies, no workout for me tonight. I was just too exhausted. I actually got in bed for a while when I got home from work and took a cat nap.
Laurie, how sad about the church burning down!
Great job with your workouts and family walks!
I hear you about Billy Blanks doing crazy stuff which is too advanced for me.
Laurel, awesome workouts and congrats for making it through that extreme cycling workout!
Sounds like you're having much warmer temps! You're getting there!
Erika, glad you continue to try those Cathe Live workouts! Great job! I don't know if I'd like to see Cathe mess up the counts. That drives me crazy when instructors don't do the same count on both sides.
I am feeling so relieved now that work is going better. Today I was in a meeting that could've derailed things but the guy who is a jerk was on his best behavior. Too many witnesses I guess, or maybe he's been spoken to or learned his lesson about listening to someone else's opinion.
Streaming problems drive me crazy. I find that it happens more often if I go directly through the cable box. If I play the video on my computer it's usually OK.
Hi Tami!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
After work yesterday I did YW365 Coiled Warrior. This morning was KCM RAW Back & Body Revolution Workout 8 and our walk. The fire at the church was started by a careless contractor that was repairing the roof. The damage to the church is running into the Millions, because it was on the historic registry. One of the TV stations flew a helicopter over the church, and surprisingly the interior is still intact, just lots of fire/smoke damage.
Laurel, Sounds like a great spin workout, and it appears that you can do extreme! I was wondering if anyone would catch that on the walk part. DH is setting himself an alarm so that he is up and ready before I get my workout done. I'm enjoying that time with him, it is a nice change to talk. I hope that you are able to encourage your DH to start walking too, and it can only lead into more exercise (hopefully).
Erika, Great job on those workouts. I remember doing a live workout with one of the guys from her XTrain being in the class. It appears that as I get older the timing thing is different, or I'm tired at different times of the day now. My body is okay with doing cardio in the morning, but not weights. Before it was different, so I guess that we need to notice those things about our body as it changes. Glad to hear that you had a little break from sports, and that everyone is getting more healthy. Seems a fever is going around the office right now.
Thelma, It appears that you body needed the break, good job. LOL on the family walks, that is appropriate since Rocket is our little guy now.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Did a fun push-ish workout today. I did 4DS Chest, Shoulder and Tricep premix. In all the years I have had this series, I have never done this premix and I am so glad I finally did. The work was done in the chest/shoulder/tricep one exercise each, then chest/shoulder/tricep with a different exercise, etc. I already love the 4DS weight work, but this format made me feel it completely differently. I loved it. Anyhow, I called it push-ish because the shoulder work was both push and pull, but I decided to just do it because of the format of the workout. For legs, though, I did the 4DS Leg workout (from 4DS Kickboxing), but just the push (or, more accurately front of the leg) exercises. Good stuff. For cardio, I stuck with 4DS and did the Kickboxing/Bootcamp Cardio combo.
Erika, glad you are still enjoying the Live workouts. I end up doing STS almost every year because I love it so much. It is so hard to believe it has been out for almost ten years! Glad to hear your family is healing up and health is returning. I hope you can continue to fight it off!
Thelma, it is definitely getting warmer up here, that’s for sure. The last of the snow disappeared about a week ago, which is nice. We are in the 24 hours of light now. I woke up at 2:30am and looked outside this morning, and while the sun wasn’t up still (or yet), you could have read a book outside. Of course......I love it! Makes me feel so much less claustrophobic than the winter darkness. I can take the cold and snow and ice, but that darkness.....
.
Laurie, great workouts! Well, I guess it could be worse news on the church (like vandalism and total destruction), but it is still sad. Sounds like your DH is enjoying the walks.....especially if he is consciously deciding to get up to do them. Maybe he feels the benefits? I hope so.
Tami, hope your day is going well.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ Sorry I missed you yesterday! I actually went to a lunch appt. to get my nails done. Just decided to get them done again after a little break. My BFF suggested this lady she goes to and she doesn’t work after 5:00. At any rate, when I got back it was back to work and busy, busy. So yesterday I went to Spinning after work for a little cardio. Found out she has or the gym has cxld our Friday evening Spin class so Wednesday will be my only Spin until summer’s over. Not enough attendance again. No workout this a.m. but I am hoping to get something in maybe this evening.
Thelma: So glad to hear your week at work is going well for you. YAY Good job to get in your workout despite not feeling it and pressing on through the streaming “freeze”. I think at that point I may have been done. LOL Believe me on the running, since I was parked right by where we were I had the thought of running straight in to get my keys and straight out and to my car. LOL Those insoles are a miracle in my opinion. I didn’t think for the achilles/tendon issue it would work the same as say for PF issues but it obviously did. Yes. DH is very threatened by that. He had a terrible experience years ago when he was actually going to the gym. A “muscle beach” type man approached him and told him everything he was doing wrong and was very arrogant. It just made him feel less than and he didn’t go back other than maybe once. I’ve tried to encourage walks with Bernie, especially because he gets home before me but doesn’t ever seem to want to do that. Sad. Would be so easy and so good for both of them.
Laurie: Sad to hear about the old church burning down. Iconic buildings are so nice to have and to see, so when some thing like that happens it is just sad. Can be rebuilt of course but never the same. Do they know what caused it? Excellent job on your workouts! I’m with you on the long Yoga. . . . wait a minute I can rarely still get my Yoga in even during our scheduled Saturdays. I have found I just need that extra because I haven’t “done enough” during the week I guess. In my mind anyway.
Laurel: Amazing job on your Cardio! I think I would love that xtreme pre-mix for the Spinning. Love the feedback on the 4DS Chest/Shoul/Tr pre-mix. Good to know. I always love the combo of those three. I think those insoles would be worth a look if you have a time again where that pain comes back. I was trying to be pro-active and it paid off forsure. Yes, thanks for saying that on the To The Max Extreme pre-mix . . . I kept thinking, “ok one more section and then the last little bit, ok this section and then the last, etc.” enjoyed that I pushed myself though and reminded me why I like it. Happy to hear you like your hair! When my BFF did mine a couple weeks ago I went back to more blonde than before and I am really liking it this time.
Erika: Yay on the LIVE Cathe workouts, sounds like you are really enjoying them. Yes, Katy’s class is often BRUTAL forsure! That’s a good word for it.
Have a great rest of your day ladies ~ I am OFF tomorrow!!! WOOHOO. I decided to finally take my FREE Birthday Day OFF. Will do some errands and cleaning so I can have the weekend. We do have our co-workers husband’s funeral/service on Saturday for most of the afternoon so it will be nice to get some stuff done. Also, Sunday I will most likely go into work for a little bit. We will see.
So if I don’t talk to you ladies tomorrow ~ have a great weekend!

Hi ladies, long work day today. I seem to have been the last one in the building again. I left work at 7 pm. I tried to talk myself out of working out but I had some energy left in me so I did Fit Split Just Kickboxing plus Abs, Stretching. I really like this workout because it's pretty much low impact. I really needed yesterday off!
Another good week at work! I'm off tomorrow. I'm with Tami, I'll be cleaning, running errands and have to select my vacation clothes. I have to start filling my little toiletry containers which always take me forever.
Laurie, great job with your workouts and family walks! So cool that your DH is getting up on his own to do the walks. He must be feeling the benefits of exercise already! They are family walks! Rocket is your youngest now! LOL.
Laurel, amazing combo! WOW! Great job! Can you please remind me where we are with the push/pull rotation. Was this the last week or do we have one more week of the extension?
Do you have those special, dark blinds for this time of the year when you have 24 hours of daylight? I was so screwed up when I was in Finland during the 24 hour daylight season! My body didn't want to go to sleep! LOL. So glad you have all that daylight now! You survived the AK winter and you made a workout out of it!!! Congrats! LOL.
Tami, good for you for taking the time to pamper yourself! Great job with the spin class! Sorry, they canceled the Friday night class though.
Since I was moving at the speed of a snail when the video froze the other night, I didn't mind moving until it picked up again.
At least the thought of running away from the running class crossed your mind! LOL
I don't blame your DH for being intimidated at the gym! What a jerk that guy was! Maybe you can ask your DH to go with you and Bernie for walks during the weekends.
Hi Erika!!
Have a great weekend ladies!

Morning Ladies,
After work I did KCM's RAW Interval #2, really loved that one. This morning was KCM's Raw Front and Body Revolution #7 plus our walk. I should really put those two in a different order since BR has cardio in it.
On the church front, DH said that there is a restoration company taking out everything that can be salvaged. The Altar of the church was intact. Quite the impact to see the debris from the roof lying in front of it.
Laurel, I love the 4DS weight work, it has a different twist to her usual stuff. Great way to use them for your workout. Nice job on all your workouts. I sure do hope that is the case with DH seeing the benefit of walking. If he does this everyday for 21 days. This weekend I'm planning on doing a longer walk, I think that he will be game for it.
Tami, Great job on your workouts, just to bad about the cxld class. Guess the January crowd is thinning out? Love that you where able to take some time during your day to pamper yourself. That had to be a nice way to break up the day. LOL on the yoga, it is something that you are not interested in. That happens. Kind of like that move in CCC for me. Enjoy your Birthday day off!
Thelma, Awesome that you where able to get that workout in despite not wanting to. Glad that your work week ended on a positive, so that you can enjoy your day off. I'm just glad that my baby isn't to much trouble like my dd's where. Have a wonderful day off!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Hi Ladies! So today for a pull workout, I did 4DS Back and Biceps premix, which was another good one. For the lower body, I focused more on ‘back’ than ‘pull’ with the 4DS Lower Body workout segments focusing on hamstrings and Glutes as well as the calf work from 4DS Lower Intensity Step. All together these two workouts yesterday and today were both under an hour, and I liked that. For cardio, I stuck with 4DS and did the cardio combo of both step workouts. And I even managed to figure out the choreography today.....which doesn’t happen too often with that higher intensity step workout.
Tami, hope you are enjoying your day off. I’m sorry to hear your Friday spin class has been canceled. Didn’t the same thing happen last year? I can’t believe somebody had the nerve to critique your DH in the gym! But I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. I don’t blame him for being hesitant to go back. I know I would be. But I hope he does. Anyhow, I had the balayage done to my hair this time, and I really love it. But I am already thinking more blonde....and I have always avoided much blonde. But something about it right now makes me like it!
Thelma, great workout after another long day at work. I really like that workout as well. I think we all decided to repeat the entire month of this rotation, so that puts us back in week 1 of Push/Pull (or week 5 of 8 if you prefer to look at it that way). We will be moving on to the one body part workouts on June 10. We do have blackout curtains.....folded in a closet. They came with the house but they are so ugly I can’t stand to have them up. But we have curtains (my curtains) and blinds in our bedroom, and as long as we keep the door closed, that is dark enough. Of course, with DH gone, I don’t sleep with the door closed (I like to be able to hear the house when I am alone), and the sun from the dining area wakes me up about 4:00am right now.....when we have sun that is. I don’t mind because that is about the time I need to call DH in Korea before he goes to bed. So with these earlier than usual mornings.....I’m not having any problems going to sleep at night before the sun goes down.
Laurie, great workouts. That is actually some good news on the church. I am so glad there is something left to salvage. Hope you enjoy that longer walk this weekend....and DH does too!
Erika, hope the rest of your week has gone well.
See you Monday.

Hi ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. I had a nice and busy weekend. I made huge progress in the vacation prep work. Clothes were selected, washed (refreshed), and ironed. Toiletry tubs have been filled except for two. I'll start packing the suitcase on Thursday night. I don't think we'll take our hiking boots. Apparently, it is the rainy season on Blue Ridge.
Workouts were as follows: Friday, Jessica Smith Power Walking. Saturday, Jessica Smith Barefoot Fusion Walk. Sunday, Fit Split Push - Mixed Impact Cardio - Just Pull, Walking on Treadmill, Stretching.
Laurie, great workouts!! I'm glad there is a restoration company trying to salvage things from the church!
It really feels good to have a weekend on a positive note!
Laurel, another awesome workout combo! Great job!
Thanks for clarifying the rotation dates! This works out great!
My DH would use those blackout curtains even if ugly. He needs a dark bedroom.
At least waking up so early is working out now that you have to call your DH in Korea!
Hi Tami and Erika!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Had a good weekend, even though it was cold and rainy. On Saturday I got in something different. I did KCM's RAW Stretch, and it was a good one. Will be trying that one out again. Sunday was F/S Push and a long walk with DH and Rocket, and this morning was F/S Pull and our walk. I may be talking DH into lifting weights, so we will probably do the one body part when we get to that stage.
Laurel, I love that you mixed up the 4DS workouts like that, and got them under an hour. Those 4DS step workouts are tough ones for choreography, so good for you on tackling that also. The longer walk was a good one, we got it done right after we got home from celebrating my nieces confirmation. Good thing we did, because right afterward it started to rain. I think that DH and I are really getting lucky with that rain thing. It missed us again this morning.
Thelma, Awesome workouts! Sounds like you are back working out with Jessica again. You are so good with packing in advance, I'm usually doing that the day before we leave.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Had another quiet weekend. I did manage to accomplish some spring cleaning....cleaning out the linen closet, washing all the drapes, etc.....but I also enjoyed some time in the sun (while we had it) reading a book. Saturday for my workout, I did another Cize workout (Full Out) into Kari Anderson’s Center Floor as my ‘yoga’ workout. This workout is more active then some of her dance/yoga/Pilates workouts, but I enjoyed that on a Saturday. Yesterday was quite the cardio blend because I think it included every type of cardio Cathe does (minus spin). I combined Cathe Live 100 Episode and Cathe Live Keep the Cardio Coming so there was kickboxing, cardio with weights, bands, stability ball and mat, as well as HiiT and metabolic moves. Good stuff.....but not easy for sure. Today was F/S Pull (I decided to do Pull/Push this week instead of Push/Pull.....just because.....) followed by Low Impact Series Low Impact Challenge extreme premix. I just be in the move for choreography since I felt like not only doing that 4DS step workout Friday but this impossible one today! But I enjoyed it.
Thelma, sounds like you are ready for your trip! I will anxious to hear how it goes. Hope the weather is okay for you. Great workouts this weekend!
Laurie, great workouts. Sorry to hear about the weather, but at least you got the walking in. I bet you are happy to hear your DH may try some strength training with you. I really hope that works out. I got lucky with the weather yesterday as well because there was enough sunshine to be able to sit outside for about 45 minutes, but it started raining in the evening and rained all night long. Of course, I loved that because I had the window open and I woke up to the sound of a nice, gentle rain. I love that sound.
Tami and Erika, hope you both enjoyed the weekend.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies!
Quick check in for me tonight! I had a busy, but fun weekend. My brother's wife was in town for her middle son's baseball tourney for 2 days, so I got to see him play, see my SIL and steal my little niece for a few hours to do fun girl stuff! Today didn't go as planned (hubby out of town for work and youngest ended up at Dr with round 2 of illness and an ear infection) but I'm looking forward to a quiet work week hopefully!
Workouts are still going well, but now I'm starting to feel like I'm doing some of the same ones over again. I'm keeping track of what I do, so I know I'm not doing the same ones more than once, but there must be a lot of similar moves!
Thelma--Yay for a good work week! I love hearing that!
Laurie--Wow, that church fire and restoration sounds like it's a big project!
Tami--Love that you got in some girly time with getting the nails done and a day off too!
Laurel--Love the spring cleaning and enjoying the book in the sun!!
Great job on the workouts!!!!
Have a great night!

Hi Ladies, yet another long workday. I hardly had any energy left when I got home. There was no way I could lift a dumbbell, so I forced myself to do low impact. I started on the treadmill and felt myself slouching and that wasn't good. So I turned the tv on, grabbed a pair of 1lb ea dumbbells and started dancing and moving around while I watched TV. I did that for 50 minutes.
I'm working from home tomorrow morning and will take the afternoon off. I have 2 eye specialist appointments.
Laurie, great workouts, and awesome news about your DH potentially doing the one body part rotation with you!! I love it!
I jumped on the Jessica train again because I've not been feeling very energetic lately. She has great low impact workouts. No matter how much I prep for my vacation for some reason I always end up staying up most of the night packing the night before! Imagine if I didn't prep!!
Laurel, awesome workouts! You really did a little of everything! Good job with all that spring cleaning! So glad you finally got to enjoy some sunshine! I hope your DH will be back home soon! This is the house we rented. It is similar to the type of house we dream of. I don't know how much of the mountain range we'll get to see given that it seems to be the rainy season there. It's been raining for weeks on a daily basis.

Erika, glad you had a nice weekend! Sorry, your little boy is sick! I hope he recovers soon!
Great job keeping up with your workouts! Not sure how you do it!
Definitely good about my job! Thanks!
Hi Tami!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
No workout after work, to much crazy traffic. This morning I did ICE Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox and our walk in-between the rain again.
Laurel, Great job on all those workouts. That live cardio workout sounds like it had everything in it, and nice that you where able to get through the difficult step workout in 4DS. Glad to hear that you are getting some sun with your rain. We have not seen the sun in a long time, it has been cloudy and rainy. Tomorrow should be better. I hope so, I really need to get in my garden. The weeds are taking over. I always loved hearing the rain in the morning, and that is the type of weather we had this morning too. Got up and heard the rain falling. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that DH will participate, I just keep reminding him of how is father is. I tell him that I don't want to see him get to that state. I think that does help some with convincing him.
Erika, Glad to hear that you are still doing the live workouts. Funny that you are getting that feeling that you have done the move before. I'm guessing that is probably happening, Cathe does have her signature moves. How nice that you got to spend time with your family, and I'm sure it was fun having a little girl around for a change. Dang on your son being sick again, those dang ear infections. I have two siblings that still get them and have had tubes put in and they are in their 40's.
Thelma, Great way to get your workout done, that must have been fun. Hope your eye appt. goes well for you. The view on your link is awesome, that should be a nice way to enjoy a vacation. I sure hope that the rain isn't to bad, so you can enjoy it. Like I said to Laurel, I will be keeping my fingers crossed that he will participate. Now I will have to look over all my DVD's to find some that he will enjoy doing.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout started with F/S Push. I followed it with Cathe Live Hitching a Ride. That spin felt really tough today, but I think it was because of doing those squats from the Push workout beforehand. But I got through it and only yelled at Cathe a few times.
Erika, sorry to hear your youngest is sick again. No question there are a lot of similar workouts in the Live Library. But with 200 workouts, I am not sure how that can be avoided. Today I counted how many Live workouts I have tried, and I have done 109 of them. Which means I still have 90 to try!! Actually, I doubt I will ever get around to all of them simply for the reason you have stated.....many are so similar in nature. And when it comes to strength training, I prefer other methods of lifting (formats like STS or Gym Styles) that aren’t available in the Live workouts. But there are too many of the Live workouts that I absolutely love so I know I will be sticking with it as long as I can.
Thelma, sounds like you found a way to workout that worked! Hope your eye appointments go well. I love the look of that rental.....big windows, lots of wood in the interior. Definitely the kind of house that appeals to us as well. DH should be home two weeks from tomorrow. His return trip has been delayed a bit, but it should be around then. While I must admit to enjoying having my time to myself, I am definitely ready for him to come back now.
Laurie, sorry to hear about the traffic. That is no fun. But I love your workout this morning. I, too, need to get to the garden. It was like the minute the snow melted, weeds appeared. How does that work? We are still about a week away from being able to plant safely outside, but I think this weekend I will get everything prepped. We are in for a cold turn later this week, but, hopefully, that is our last major cool down until September.
Tami, hope you are well.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ Sorry I missed you all yesterday! It is still SO crazy busy around here. I did end up coming in on Sunday and worked for 4 hours. Luckily I did or my day would have been a nightmare yesterday. There were probably 6 files left to do while I was OFF on Friday and 2 Title Officers came in over the weekend and filled it up on top of that. Needless to say, I finished them ALL and was able to start yesterday out fresh. I was a little bit disappointed that nobody helped my trainee so she did what she could and I could tell was proud of it, so I just complimented her work. She did here my main boss thank me for coming in though. Friday was a nice day off. I was able to just get some grocery shopping done and laundry, kind of my Saturday stuff but no crowds. It was wonderful!
Workouts from Friday: ICE Total Body Metabolic, Saturday I did STRETCHING ladies!!! I actually was having a tight lower back and thought it is what I "should" do. I first did the Endurance workout from Evolution 20 and followed it up with her BALANCE workout, which is Yoga/Pilates inspired. Really liked it. Sunday for Cardio I did KCM Athletic Conditioning, Cardio workout followed by her Cardio Core from Build & Burn. Really a fun combo. Yesterday was BootCamp and Katy was “winging it” again so we were just inside (luckily it had poured rain right before class) LOL anyway, we did slow & controlled weight work + abs. Some of the weight work she does you guys is BANANAS in my opinion. Stuff in all the years I would never do or have ever seen. So not sure where she gets these moves. One for example was holding a weight and you do the action of throwing a ball. Step back (DB by your ear) push forward off your back leg and “throw” the DB forward. What?!?! There were a couple others that I just did sort of how I knew I would keep my body safe. No workout today, not sure if I will be able to get one in. Not going to Insanity because today forsure will be RUNNING Class. Its sunny and 80.
Thelma: Sounds like you did some nice trip planning and really went through some organization in the closets! I really need to do that in mine. I have to be in the mood and then I really get it cleaned out. If not, it is sort of “half hearted” and I just need to re-do it. So one of these days I hope too. Great job getting in some movement with those light weights and just dancing and moving. Sometimes that is all we need mentally right!?!
Laurel: Fantastic job with your workouts! I love that you have the Balyage color to your hair and are liking it. I will maybe go back to it again, just started feeling like it was too dark. Especially putting it up made me feel like a 2-tone. LOL Sounds like you had a nice weekend. So this Sunday begins our BODY PARTS section right?
Laurie: Great job with your workouts and I love to hear that your DH is still joining you on the walks and might do the weight work as well.
Erika: Sounds like you had a fun weekend! That is so nice. I am sorry to hear about your son being sick though. Hopefully he is doing better now.
Sorry I was brief on my responses ladies ~ I will be back tomorrow though!
Talk to you then . . . Tami

Hi ladies, quick update tonight. I didn't get to take the afternoon off. As soon as I got back at 2:30 from my eye appointment I started working until 7:30. I didn't work out. I was just too tired. I made a lot of progress with work which was good. I told my boss that I would take Friday afternoon off instead, and I will work from home so that will be good!
My eyes remain good. No progress on optic nerve damage (glaucoma runs in my family), and my visual field test was better than previous tests. THAT was good! My eye dryness doesn't get any better and that is causing damage to the eye surface. This is part of having Sjogren's syndrome. He prescribed a second eye drop that will hopefully help me produce tears. This doesn't mean I can't cry. This means that my eyes will remain moist like normal eyes do. I need to get better at using my lubricating drops during the day too. I used to be so good at that but now being so busy at work that I put myself last.
Laurie, great workouts! I really hope you convince your DH to join you in the next rotation phase! We are so looking forward to those mountain views!!!
Laurel, great combo today! I knew you would like that house! So glad to read your DH will be back home soon!
Tami, I am with you with the crazy, busy work life! Great job with those workouts! OMG, Katy sounds dangerous! Great job keeping it safe! I just asked the same question about when we start the single body part rotation. Here is Laurel's answer:
" I think we all decided to repeat the entire month of this rotation, so that puts us back in week 1 of Push/Pull (or week 5 of 8 if you prefer to look at it that way). We will be moving on to the one body part workouts on June 10."
Hi Erika!!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Our IT Department finally fixed an issue that has been going on for over a week. So it was a mad dash for me to get all the orders, that have been in limbo, completed this morning. Only one supplier is still not working.
After work I did GHUTV Yoga Flow, and this morning was Body Revolution Workout 9 and our walk. Got up kind of late this morning, so I didn't have a lot of time.
Laurel, Nice workouts, and I LOL'd on the description of the spin workout. I actually was able to pull some weeds after work, we had sun in the sky. I just needed to get something done, since the weeds where so high. At least I felt pretty good about how it looked afterward. Every year the sedum in my rock garden is taking over more and more so the weeds are dwindling. I think I need to see if they have a new variety to add to my hoard.
Tami, I'm glad to hear that your day off was a good and productive one. Awesome job on all the workouts, and classes. What you don't want to run in temps that hot! I know I wouldn't either. Glad that you modified those crazy moves so that you didn't hurt yourself. Have to say it sure is nice walking with the DH, I think we talk more during those walks that we do after work. We both are probably mentally awake in the mornings vs. after work when we just want to stop thinking about work.
Thelma, Great news on your eyes, and I hope that the new drops help with the dryness. I can't imagine having dry eyes on a constant basis. Glad that you are able to take off on Friday to make up for yesterday. We are heading up north this weekend so it should be a nice getaway and we will be seeing my parents and some of our family.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today is my birthday (53!!), so I gifted myself with a fun workout for cardio day. I did Rock’m Sock’m (with the Blizzard Blast) into Cathe Live Jabs and Abs. I love a 90 minute workout that has me feeling like I am gaining energy as it goes along instead of withering down. Nothing else special planned for the day......except for a piece of an ice cream cake DH bought for me from Cold Stone before he left.
Actually, I am a little surprised the cake has survived the last month intact!
Tami, sounds crazy at work! I don’t imagine things are going to calm down, though, as you go into the summer season. Great workouts. Hopefully that stretching helped ease your lower back some. I don’t quite know what to say about the crazy Katy moves except I am glad you focus on keeping yourself safe. I imagine there is a method to her approach (no doubt), but one thing that has changed as I have gotten older is my thinking that simple and safe is perfectly fine. But at 30...... . Anyhow, as Thelma pointed out, our plan is to do this push/Pull rotation until June 10. Enjoy the sunny, warm weather!
Thelma, I am sorry you had to go back to work, but at least your week got shorter. Glad your eyes are okay, though I understand the frustration with dry eyes. Mine are getting more and more dry as I age, and contacts aren’t nearly as comfortable for me anymore. Drops do help but some days......just not good. Hope you find something to help get some relief.
Laurie, great workouts! And yay for some time in the garden. I might get outside later today and do the same thing before the rain hits. Glad your DH is still enjoying the walks. DH and I don’t really talk much in the evenings either. One of the reasons I enjoy our golf so much is because trapped together on a golf course for four hours either walking or sharing a cart makes for some great time to talk. Looking forward to getting back to that in a month, for sure.
Erika, hope your week is going okay.
See you tomorrow.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies ~ As I suspected last night, no workout.
DH got home just after me and was watching the Yankees and flipping back and forth to the NBA game. Bernie and I took a short walk and I made an easy dinner and went to bed early. I was very tired. Today’s cardio is Katy’s Spin class after work. At least there she cannot incorporate crazy moves.
Thelma: I guess you and I are together in the “fast forward” of time …… thank goodness it isn’t just me about asking on our rotation. Thank you for the reminder and I absolutely remember all of this, for some reason I had 2 weeks in my mind yesterday and not a month. Glad your eye appt went well! Hopefully you can get your daily drops in a little more ….. I know how that is. My water intake suffers when I feel like I need to do one more file before I go fill up my water, and then one more file, etc.
Laurie: Glad your IT dept. fixed the problem you have been waiting on at work. Sounds like a nice workout you were able to get in this a.m. even without much time. I think that is so great you get some good chatting in during the walks as well. That is one thing with DH and I. He is usually “talked out” in the evening because in his position with work he is talking to customers, solving problems, creating business, etc. all day so talking is the last thing he wants to do. he does of course talk to me but it is usually brief. Sounds like you have a very fun and relaxing Holiday weekend planned.
Happy Birthday Laurel! Just think of how amazing you are for 53 and all that you have accomplished in your health and fitness …. Truly something to celebrate! What a fantastic workout you did to celebrate that fact as well! Way to WORK. That’s very sweet of your DH to have bought you that before he left. I hope you enjoyed it. I would have probably slivered tiny pieces/bits off throughout the month. LOL
Thank you again all of you for reminding me of what is going on …… SHEESH, how embarrassing!!! Why did I think we were starting the “new” one already after just agreeing that I wanted to do this for another month. Apparently, the time that has gone by for me has felt like a month. Truly it has.
Have a great rest of your day ladies!
Tami
