Cathe Fans Part 5

StiringWendel

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good. We had warm, sunny weather both days, though yesterday the humidity was down and it felt perfect for about the first time all summer. Saturday was spent on yard chores. Unfortunately I unknowingly disturbed a wasp nest in our tomato plants and got stung twice on my left thigh which has been pretty uncomfortable since. I washed it, iced it and elevated it, so did all I could and now it just has to heal. So I am doing my best to try to ignore the discomfort. And part of that was playing golf yesterday, which was a lot of fun.

For workouts, Saturday was Cathe Live Low Impact Kickbox, HiiT and Core and Peloton yoga. Yesterday was 2.0 Body Part Back with Bonuses, Cathe Live Cardio Combat and yoga and core from Peloton. Today was 2.0 Body Part Chest with Bonuses, 4DS Lower Intensity Step and Peloton core and yoga again.

Thelma, great workouts. We are getting some rain finally! It just started about five minutes ago and is very light but at least it is something. Hope you get some as well.

Laurie, great workouts. I am glad all went well with the floors and glad you were able to spend time with your family. I thought about you when I saw the floods yesterday. I am glad you weren’t too horribly impacted, but it looked awful up there. I hope you don’t get much more rain for sure.

See you tomorrow.

Morning Ladies,

We had another downpour again last night. Our power went out and we have tree branches all over the lawn.

This morning was my yoga and 2.0 Body Parts Chest. My chest is fried with this workout.

Laurel, Great job with all the workouts! Sorry to hear that you had to experience the wasps sting. I once stepped on a log that had a wasps nest, and had multiple stings. My mother took baking soda and water and made a paste. That really helped cool those stings. My oldest brother disturbed a bee's nest and they stung him all over his face. That was scary when you are really little. I'm glad that golfing helped with forgetting though. Hope that you had some more rain, but not as much as we received.

Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 45 minute spin and core and yoga from Peloton.

Laurie, great workout. That was my workout yesterday as well, and my pecs were screaming at me doing yoga today. So I literally feel your pain. 🙂 I am sorry about all of the rain and the damage it has brought. I hope you dry out soon. We got a nice amount yesterday and may get more today and tomorrow. My stings feel better today. I have a slight allergy to stings so that didn’t help. I was saying to DH on Saturday that I can’t imagine getting multiple stings when two almost knocked me to the ground. That must have been scary for you. But getting stung like that on the face? I think I would live with a fear of bees for the rest of my life. How is your DH doing? I hope he is doing better.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! I forgot to his Post Reply last night!

Monday's workouts were walking and CG Epic Heat Day 15 - SEQUENCED HIIT Full Body. Designed to
challenge your agility, ability to react and transition, core & full body strength and endurance! This workout was hard. It was full of burpees and pushups, which scared me, but I managed to do 90% of the workout.
Tuesday's workouts were walking, Yin and CG Epic Heat Day 16 - Triceps and Delts.

It's pouring here. This is the second downpour tonight. As of 9pm over 900 homes were without power. I can't believe how hard it's raining! The first part of the storm was full of lightning and thunder. It was scary!

Laurie, I'm sorry you guys are continuing to get more heavy rain. I hope you didn't lose power for a long time.
How is your DH doing? Does he have more tests this week?
Great workouts!

Laurel, great workouts! I'm glad the wasp stings are getting better.

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Biceps with Bonuses, ICE Low Impact Sweat and Peloton core and yoga.

Thelma, great workouts. A workout full of burpees and pushups would scare me too! Great job getting through that. I am sorry you are getting hit so hard by these storms. They have all gone north of us until today. We just had a pretty wicked storm that knocked out the power and dumped rain, but nothing like what you described. I think tomorrow may be the last day of this and then it dries out again. When I got up this morning (5:30am) it was 77 degrees with a dew point of 75. Saying it was humid would be a wild understatement.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Wednesday's workouts were walking and yoga.
We only got two inches of rain out of all the rain we got on Tuesday. On Wednesday we got a little rain. Only 0.2 inches.
The words humid and thunderstorm appear in the forecast for each of the next 10 days! Noooo!

Laurel, great workouts!

CG loves her burpees and pushups. It was definitely a good challenge.

I'm sorry you lost power the other night. We're usually pretty safe here because our powerlines are underground.
I've been surprised at how humid it is after these thunderstorms!

See you tomorrow!

Morning Ladies,

Yesterday I had a surprise visit from dd and the boys. They came for my birthday, and it was a lot of fun being with them. DD and I did a little shopping, and she took me to lunch. Overall I had a great day!

I was able to get in my yoga and 2.0 Body Part Legs before they arrived. This morning was yoga 2.0 Chair Yoga. Don't know that I will be doing that one again.

We are finally not having any rain. Two nights in a row the power has gone out. This morning though is beautiful.

DH will be going in for out patient surgery on the 3rd of September. I'm ready for the non crabby DH to be back. I know that dealing with this has been painful for him.

Laurel, Great job with the workouts! I think that I will pull out that low impact hiit workout you did, those are short and sweet. This rotation has X10 low impact, but I remember not clicking with that one. Sorry that you lost power, but glad that you received some much needed rain. One of our Hydrangea bushes is loaded with bees of all sizes this year. I was very happy to see them, but stayed away so they could continue their bee business.

Thelma, Awesome job with those workouts! Sounds like you are having a great time with those Caroline workouts. Hot and humid are not words that I like together either. Does make the grass really green though.

Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Chest with Bonuses, Cathe Live Rock’m Shock’m Kickbox and Peloton yoga. Today was the last day in my current 2.0/LMR rotation. I decided to start it over again, but substitute other workouts in place of the LMR workouts and add some of the low impact cardio from the rotation Laurie is doing. I don’t know if I will do 12 weeks of it yet, but at least I have some form of a plan for right now.

Thelma, great workouts. Yesterday was our rainiest day but I think we didn’t even get an inch of rain. I am hoping we dry out today because I really want to try to get the lawn mowed before DH gets back on Saturday. But they are predicting storms for this afternoon, so we will see. We are supposed to be near 100 again on Monday. I was so hoping that kind of heat was over with.

Laurie, great workouts. And Happy Birthday!!! I am glad you were able to spend your day with your DD and grandsons. I completely agree with you about that chair yoga workout. I just don’t understand what she was trying to do with it. I am glad your rain has let up a bit. I am also glad your DH has a surgery date. Hopefully he starts feeling better soon after that.

See you tomorrow.

Laurel

Hi Ladies! Thursday's workouts were walking and warm power yoga.
It was a hot one here! The day started a little rainy, which was nice.

Laurie, happy belated birthday! How sweet of your DD and her babies to surprise you with a visit on your birthday! Were she and her DH able to work things out so she could be a stay home mom?

Great workouts! I love those body part workouts. I'll never understand why Cathe included that chair yoga workout in her program.
I'm glad that rain is finally giving you a break.

Thank goodness your DH finally has a surgery date.

I am enjoying Epic Heat a lot. I still want to get the app, but want to see if I can do more of the Epic programs.

Laurel, great workouts! Congrats on finishing the rotation! Great idea to modify the rotation for round two!

I hope you were able to mow the lawn. I was hoping the hot and humid weather was over with, but things don't work that way in the south. Sorry you have to endure another heatwave!

Have a wonderful weekend!
Thelma

StiringWendel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a tough 60 minute spin followed by Peloton core and yoga. And despite the fact I woke up to rain, I am heading out to mow the lawn. With our temperatures really climbing over the weekend, I want to get it done today. It will be a sweat fest for sure though.

Thelma, great workouts. I was surprised by our rain this morning. This has been kind of a weird August weather-wise. In some ways it feels more like June than August except for the fact the days are getting noticeably shorter. But I think next week will definitely feel like August again with the heat coming back.

Enjoy the weekend.

Morning Ladies,

I didn't sleep very well last night, I had visions of hornets in my head. Yep, like Laurel I managed to disturb a nest of hornets yesterday while gardening. I received about four stings, but three of those hornets where killed. One in the house, because it managed to get under my t-shirt and sting me on my chest. The area that hurt the worst was on my ring finger. That swelled up pretty quickly, and I couldn't get my ring off. I'm fine today, and we have our bug guy coming this afternoon to take the 6" hive out of the lilac bush. That nest wasn't there the last time I was weeding around that bush. Guess it doesn't take that long to build a nest. 😐️

This morning was yoga and 2.0 Body Parts Triceps. I will probably do some ab work tomorrow when I do the foam rolling workout.

Laurel, Great job with the workouts and of course Congrats on finishing up another rotation! You will probably have some great options to do with this low impact rotation. I actually really have enjoyed it. I tend to abandon a rotation if it starts to get repetitive, so for sure this one is a keeper.

Thelma, Love the workouts! Sometimes it is hard to determine if we should spend the money on an app, you really want to make sure that you are using it for the money that you spend. Yes my oldest is now a stay at home mom. She gets frustrated at times, because it can be overwhelming to have a toddler and a baby. The baby is a crier so has been having colic. She calls me late at night sometimes when she just need to talk and her DH is at work. I know what she is going through, because DH was a second shifter and she had colic when she was a baby too.

Have a great weekend!

Laurie

ThelmaSW

Hi Ladies! I hope you had a nice weekend! Ours was good but as always busy.
My workouts on Friday were Pilates sculpting and walking,
Saturday - walking.
Sunday - walking and CG Epic Heat Day 17 - EFFECTIVE Leg Day Collective - Compound Leg Workout.

We got a 5-minute passing shower on Sunday afternoon and that was it for rain.

Laurel, great workouts!
What a nice surprise with that rain! I hope you were able to mow the lawn.
This week will be hot here too. The real feel for every day is 101 degrees. There are chances of thunderstorms every day. Hopefully one of them will produce some rain for us.
I hear you about the days getting shorter. I've been taking our puppy out for a walk at around 8:30, but that is going to have to be done earlier because it was pretty dark on our way back.

Laurie, I'm so sorry you had an encounter with a hornets' nest too. A friend just posted a picture of the nest she found and like you she said the nest wasn't there when she was gardening last. I'm glad you're feeling better, but how scary!

I feel that if I keep enjoying CG's programs, I will eventually buy the app, but I want to see how many free YT programs I can do first.
I'm so happy your DD and her DH managed to make things work out for her to stay home with the babies. I can't even begin to imagine how overwhelming things get with a toddler and a baby. A crying baby with a colic is not an easy situation to deal with. Thank God she has you whenever she needs to talk.

Have a great week!
Thelma

Morning Ladies,

We had a very quiet but nice weekend. The bug guy came and removed the nest late Friday afternoon. I will be going outside shortly to do some clean up, but that spot will be toward the end of my gardening attempt.

My workouts where the 2.0 Foam Rolling Upper Body and yoga. No workout on Sunday except for yoga, and this morning was 2.0 Body Parts Back, another good one.

Thelma, Great job with those workouts! Hope that the temps are not to bad for you this week, and that you get some good rain if you have storms. I'm also very glad that I am there for her, and of course if she needs me I will drive there without a problem. I really do enjoy being able to do that now that I'm retired.

Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was pretty good. DH had a long flight home on Saturday that included a pretty lengthy delay in Houston. But he made it home in time for dinner. I used all of the extra time to get all of our chores done so we could enjoy the day yesterday with playing golf. It was pretty warm on the course, and DH ran into a guy who was complaining about it. DH responded with ‘well, playing golf is better than mowing the lawn’. In other words, he appreciate my mowing on Friday which ended up being pretty brutal. While the temperature was only in the upper 80s, the humidity was outrageous. I didn’t know I could sweat that much. But I got it done.

For workouts, on Saturday I did Cathe’s live class from last week which was Kick Punch Party, which was a pretty low intensity workout and perfect for Saturday. I followed it with yin yoga. Yesterday was Party Rockin’ Step 1 and 2.0 Mat Yoga. Today was 2.0 Giant Sets Total Body, Cathe Live Boxing HiiT and core and yoga from Peloton.

Laurie, great workouts. I really love those body part workouts. I am so sorry to hear about the hornet stings though! And to have one in your shirt?!?! Thank you for adding that image to my growing concerns about stinging bugs. 😉 I am glad you had somebody come remove the next. Like you, I had no idea the wasps had built a nest. I had been reaching into those tomato plants all summer and suddenly….sting! I am glad you are there for your DD. I can only imagine how tired she gets at time with those two little boys. I’m sure having you to talk to helps a great deal.

Thelma, great workouts. We had a surprise shower yesterday as well when we were on the golf course, but it was just light rain that lasted less than ten minutes. After we got home the thunder started rolling, but there was no more rain. We are under a heat advisory today and tomorrow, and it is hot out there right now. But the forecast has us dropping back into the 80s next week which will no doubt feel wonderful again.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! I couldn't get my CG workout in today because I wasn't feeling well. I have developed an aversion to poutry and that is what was for dinner on Monday. I was preparing the turkey breast and I immediately knew there was no way I could eat that. I would rather starve to death. It was as if my throat and my stomach went into panic mode. I couldn't even watch DH eat it.
I think it's all hormonal. My chicken aversion started a while ago and now that I think about it, I think it started after my hysterectomy. I recently started HRT and I think this is what has increased the aversion intensity. It's a sensory thing too. I can't stand the texture of poultry, but I am Ok with shredded chicken in chicken noodle soup and other dishes. At least that was the case last time I made chicken noodle soup.
Tonight was so bad that I felt sick. My body felt like lead and I felt I would die if I ate the turkey. In my mind I felt that I could eat turkey salad as in the mayonnaise kind. I couldn't prepare it myself thought, so DH made me turkey salad out of the air fried turkey breast. I told him I wanted mayo, mustard, red onions and pickles. I loved it! Thank God I was able to eat it that way.

Laurie, great workouts!
Your DDs are fortunate to have you.

Laurel, great workouts. Good job getting the weekend chores done ahead of time so that your DH could relax. No doubt he appreciates all your hard work.

No rain for us on Monday, but we're expecting thunderstorms on Tuesday.

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Morning Ladies,

My workout this morning was ICE Low Impact Sweat #1. I wasn't in the mood to do the X10 workout that was in the rotation. I also got in my yoga.

Laurel, Great job with the workouts! Those live workout sound fun. I hear you on the humidity, that can really be brutal even though the temperature itself isn't that bad. We have been getting so much rain. We had thunderstorms again last night. Not that we don't need rain. I like what your DH said about the mowing. I'm sure after all the traveling he did, it was nice to see that he didn't have to deal with the lawn on the weekend. Glad that you both enjoyed the golfing.

Thelma, Dang on the poultry and it making you not wanting to eat it and causing you to be sick. Hormones are a crazy thing, and each of us can be affected in different ways. In soups chicken or turkey is has more moisture, so it probably has a better texture. I'm sure that you will find some great alternatives for your protein enjoyment. DH and I have really moved toward more fish.

Have a great day!

Laurie

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 45 minute spin followed by core and yoga work from Peloton.

Thelma, I am sorry you were not feeling well yesterday. My mom warned my sisters and I that as we get older, some foods we used to enjoy we will hate. My oldest sister has already had that experience. I never connected it to hormones, but it definitely could be that. I am glad you were able to find a substitute and enjoy your meal. Aging is definitely a learning game.

Laurie, great workout. I think that one is a good substitute for the X10 Low Impact. That latter one has discs and weights and is no fun. I would argue this summer has been one of the most humid summers we have had in Alabama. I just went out to water plants and it felt like a sauna outside. But it has been worth it for the rain, but we have not had the rain you have had for sure. If we had, I wouldn’t be thinking the same.

See you tomorrow.

Morning Ladies,

We had a nice cool day yesterday, so I did some work outside. With all these storms we have a lot of debris to pick up outside. The only problem with all this rain are the mosquitoes. I feel like I'm itching all over the place today. 😀 It's nice and sunny today, so hopefully no rain. These storms have been good enough to let DH mow the lawn though.

My workout was my normal yoga and I also did 2.0 Mat yoga.

Laurel, Nice job with the spin and yoga. I thought that low impact workout would be so much more fun and those disc (which I hate). We have some days up here with that type of humidity, but not all the time. Right now we are in a nice cool period, the temps are in the 70's so we had the screen doors open to let in the nice breeze we had yesterday. Interesting about the food, I don't thing that is one thing that I have experienced. I still enjoy most things that I did pre menopause.

Have a great day!

Laurie

StiringWendel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was Strong and Sweaty Total Body Giant Sets, 20 minutes of Peloton core, Perfect 30 Low Impact HiiT and some wonderfully juicy hip opening yoga from Peloton. Long workout, but it felt good.

Laurie, great workouts. 70 degrees sounds so good right now. Our lows are still in the mid 70s so we are, unfortunately, a long way from open windows. But we are supposed to cool off significantly next week, which will be nice. Sorry about those pesky mosquitos. They are such a pain. My tastes haven’t changed much yet either. I don’t have the sweet tooth I once had, which is good. But if you put a piece of chocolate cake in front of me, I will still eat it. 😋 But my mom and my sister both described what Thelma did…..that almost overnight they would go to eat something they normally would eat and feel repulsed by it. Thankfully I haven’t experienced that yet either.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! It looks like I forgot to hit post on Tuesday night!
Tuesday's workouts were walking, Yin and CG Epic Heat Day 18 - Diamond Chest & Core.
Wednesday's workouts were walking and yoga.

I'm very sad. My yoga studio will be closing its doors on 8/30. The couple just couldn't make ends meet. There are other yoga classes at the Art Center that I've been wanting to try, so I'll go in September to check them out.

No rain again. It was incredibly hot today, but a cold front is coming next week to give us some relief from the summer heat.

Laurie, great workouts!
I think the mosquitos have been very active here from time-to-time this year.

Laurel, great workouts!
I hope you won't have to experience this food aversion thing.
I'm excited about the cooler weather next week!

See you tomorrow!

Morning Ladies,

This morning's workout was 2.0 Body Parts Biceps. I love bicep work, so this one was fun for me.

Laurel, Great job with the workouts! That must have been a long workout, since Giant Sets is a long one in itself. Nice that you will be getting the cooler weather soon. I can say that it has been very nice around here. Yesterday was really cloudy though, and we thought it was going to rain again. I didn't go out in mosquito weather either, just couldn't take anymore bites. Guess I have to start wearing long sleeve shirts and pants. 😏

Thelma, Love all your workouts! Sorry to hear about the studio closing, but I hope that the other option that you have is a good one. In this cooler weather the mosquitoes really love to be out, and of course we have tons of standing water for them to breed in.

Have a great day!

Laurie

StiringWendel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 45 minute spin and core and yoga from Peloton. My legs were very tired from yesterday’s and Monday’s total body workouts, so the spin was a challenge for sure. But I only have one more workout in this Peloton endurance training program I am doing and then I will be back to choosing my workouts based on how I feel again. While I have enjoyed these two endurance programs I am ready for more music driven rides for sure.

Thelma, great workouts. I’m sorry to hear about the yoga studio though. I hope your option works out okay for you. We got some nice rain yesterday and today is comfortably cooler. It looks like we are going to be below 90 for a couple weeks and the current forecast is showing lows dipping into the 50s next week! I might have to put on a jacket to feed the birds in the morning. 😁

Laurie, great workout. I love that one. We try to wear long pants every night we sit outside after dinner because of the mosquitos. Thankfully we have a ceiling fan to help keep us cool and keep the mosquitos away. And when I have to work in the back of our yard, which is where the standing water is, I always wear long pants and long sleeves. Not my preference, but I just don’t want those bites. I have always been slightly allergic to any kind of bug bite or sting and that is not improving with age. I still have irritation and bumps from my wasp stings two weeks ago. Just no fun.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Thursday's workouts were walking, Warm power yoga and CG abs.
The yoga studio's owner is hoping to be able to find a shared space. I hope there's such a thing in BR. She is planning to offer classes via Zoom in the meantime.

We got 1.2 inches of rain on Thursday afternoon.

We are taking two our dogs to an obedience class on Saturday. It will be interesting and probably funny. LOL

Laurie, great workouts!
I hope the other yoga option is a good one too.

Laurel, great workouts! Congrats on finishing the Peloton endurance training program!

I hope the other yoga classes are good because I really like doing yoga at the studio with other people.

We are going to have the same type of weather. We take the dogs out to potty at about 9:30 PM. We might need to wear a jacket at that time too.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Morning Ladies,

This morning was yoga and Low Impact Sweat 2.

DH was swarmed by mosquitoes yesterday, he was just putting some weeds in the compost pile. He said it was crazy how many attacked him.

Laurel, Awesome job with the workouts! Congrats on going through that challenge. Sometimes it's good for us to do something different like that just to see how we like or dislike it. We don't have the nice sitting space like you have. Ours is all open, so sitting outside right now is just not an option. We where enjoying it up until all this rain happened. I hear you on those stings. My ring finger is still hot and will hurt once in a while.

Thelma, Love the workouts! I like that the owner is looking at other options for a space, hopefully it will work out so you can continue to enjoy your group class. Have a great time at the obedience class, you will have a lot of fun and it really does help. We took Rocket when he was a puppy.

Enjoy your weekend!

Laurie

StiringWendel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Super Sets Total Body, Cathe Live Fight For Awareness 2 and Peloton yoga. I felt really strong today.

Thelma, great workouts. I hope the your yoga instructors can find a new place in Blue Ridge. We definitely are not getting the rain you are, but our temperatures have definitely cooled off. DH took a walk after he got home from work yesterday and said the breeze was actually a bit chilly. Granted, we are used to oppressive weather right now so it wasn’t truly chilly, but I certainly am appreciating the change. I hope all goes well with the obedience class.

Laurie, great workouts. Yikes on your DH and the mosquitoes. I hope he didn’t get bitten too badly. We are very lucky with having a covered deck as our outdoor space here. Even with that, I really wish we had an option to screen it in. Generally I would prefer to not have a screen, but every year the bugs are getting worse and worse, and I would hate to have to cede the space for months to those bugs. But screening is not an option for us unless we completely change the deck configuration, and since we just redid the deck two years ago, that’s a hard NO for us. The heat coming from the stings is real! I hope your finger heals up soon.

Enjoy the weekend.

Laurel

ThelmaSW

Hi Ladies! I hope you had a nice weekend.

Friday's workouts were walking, restorative yoga and Full Body sculpting.
Saturday - walking.
Sunday - walking and CG Epic Heat Day 19 - Total Body Triset Drop Sets.

The obedience class was great. When I spoke to the trainer on the phone last week. He mentioned that his wife was a veterinarian and that she helped with the training. When we got to the shelter where the training was taking place, I saw a lady who looked familiar but could not place her till I got close to her. She is one of our vets and the trainer's wife! Small world! The boys did great.
We are teaching the third dog what we learned in class. All three boys are highly motivated because of the treats. LOL.

We didn't get any rain this weekend and this week doesn't look promising.

I had two close encounters with nature on Sunday. I found a hornets' nest in the chicken coop. These are the underground type. DH sprayed the little hole tonight. The second encounter was with a snake! My first snake and it was a very close encounter. I was on my 8:30 PM walk with Rhettie. We went down the road and it was already getting dark. On the way up the hill, I happened to look down to the ground and saw the snake. At least it was the outline of a snake. I saw it just on time because Rhettie would've stepped on it. I tried to run home as fast as I could. I told Rhettie, no more walks in the dark!

Laurie, great workouts!
OMG withe mosquitoes swarming your DH! We were swarmed by mosquitoes in Costa Rica during our honeymoon. They went after DH. We were on a private beach resort and on the way back from the beach I was walking behind DH when I saw the mosquitoes all over his back! I was horrible! The mosquitoes there were brutal.

I like that the yoga studio owner is looking for another space too, but I don't feel hopeful as long as her husband is making decisions for her and her business. He's full of stupid ideas.

Laurel, great workouts!
I hope the yoga studio owner is able to find a new space, but like I told Laurie above, I don't feel hopeful. Rent here is really expensive and if they couldn't make ends meet in one place, I just don't see how they can do it somewhere else. Their only hope is finding a shared space, but that sounds like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Have a wonderful week!

Morning Ladies,

We had a very nice weekend. The weather was perfect in the 70's. Last night we went out with DH's brother and SIL to celebrate my retirement. Today we started in the 50's, guess fall is starting to make an appearance. After this I will venture outside since it's in the 60's, hopefully the mosquitoes will not be out.

My workouts where of course yoga, Saturday 2.0 Body Parts Legs, Sunday 2.0 Foam Rolling Lower Body and this morning 2.0 Body Parts Shoulders. Shoulders are fried right now, and I only have one week left on this rotation. Don't know what I will be trying out next.

Laurel, Great job with those workouts! What was the live workout like, the title is interesting. DH survived the bites, but he did have quite a few that we needed to put some meds on. Like you he really swells up from bites. Even having a covered area would be nice, but you are right screened in areas would be ideal. We can't justify the cost either.

Thelma, Awesome job with the workouts! I would have been running if I saw a snake also, just can't stand snakes of any kind. My youngest dd has a grass snake around her house, and that freaks me out even though they are harmless. Oh my on the hornets, guess we all are having a time with those bugs. Glad to hear that the training session went so well, and of course the treat motivation is a factor. LOL about the instructors husband, to bad he has any imput.

Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Sounds like you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good as well. Saturday was spent on the golf course, which is always fun. And yesterday was spent on errands and chores. The weather was beautiful both days and today, so far, there is just a hint of autumn out there. We noticed over the weekend that some leaves are already beginning to change, so autumn really isn’t that far off. Tomorrow they are predicting a low of 52, so I may spend tons of time standing outside and feeling that cool air.

For workouts, on Saturday I did 75 minutes of Peloton yoga. Yesterday was a 30 minute spin, and core and yoga from Peloton. Today was 2.0 Trisets Total Body, Cathe Live Mixed Impact Cardio Splash and yoga.

Thelma, great workouts. We got some rain Saturday afternoon and evening, and we had quite the downpour yesterday morning. It seems if you get rain, we don’t. And if we do, you don’t. Which is actually kind of weird! But the weather must be tracking differently this year than it has before. Yikes on the hornets and the snake. I probably would skip the walks at night too after that. I found that one snake in our front yard last year, and I always take a wide turn around the area where I found it…..even a year on. I hope never to encounter it again. I’m sorry that it is the yoga instructor’s husband forcing the closure. That has to be frustrating for her.

Laurie, great workouts. I can’t believe you are almost done with this rotation. That seems to have flown by. Did you enjoy it? The Cathe Live Fight for Awareness classes are kickboxing classes Cathe has started doing in October in honor of breast cancer awareness. The one I did was from last year. I am glad your DH did okay with the bites despite the swelling. Those things can itch for days.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Monday's workouts were walking, warm power yoga and Tracy Steen Hiit.

No rain today either but it feels like fall, which is great!

Laurie, I'm glad you had a nice weekend and went out to celebrate your retirement.

Greate workouts.

Laurel, great workouts!

I'm glad you got some rain. I don't blame you for still trying to avoid the area where you found the snake. I tried walking by the area where I saw the snake but couldn't.

See you tomorrow.

Morning Ladies,

What a beautiful day yesterday! There was a nice breeze going, so the bugs didn't bother to much. Today is looking the same way, but even cooler.

My workouts where yoga and then I did a PJ EMOM cardio workout. I will probably need the mobility workout tomorrow.

Oldest dd will be bring the boys out tomorrow, so I will have some grandma time. I have to admit that I'm a lucky grandma. DH's brother and SIL don't get to see there grandson as much, and they live fairly close to my oldest. Hope that their daughter realizes that gp's are important.

Laurel, Of course great job with all the workouts! Getting on the golf course is a plus also. I'm sure that the weather will be ideal for that coming up. This summer has flown by for me, and I didn't get as much done this summer as I was thinking I could. To high of expectations I guess. I kind of thought that was a kickboxing workout. Take advantage of that cool weather, I know that I really did yesterday.

Thelma, Love the workouts! Guess we are all feeling that fall weather. For me it really is the best time of the year.

Have a great day!

Laurie
