    Hi Ladies! Thursday's workouts were walking and Tracy Steen upper body.

    Laurie, great workout! What is Michelle's last name? I'd like to do that SIT workout.

    Ever since I developed Lupus car rides are exhausting to me, which is why DH drives me to my appointments 45 minutes away. I am so afraid I'll fall asleep at the wheel.
    I will eventually do that Iron Pro workout. For now I'm enjoying the Epic Heat program, which I'm obviouly doing at my own pace.
    Have fun with the babies!

    Laurel, great workouts!
    Some days are really a struggle to workout. My biggest problem lately is that I've not been sleeping well, so I'm dragging.

    Have a nice weekend!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Lower Body 1, 2.0 No Equipment Abs and Peloton Yoga. And mowing the lawn. 😁 I am so happy DH will be back tomorrow. But, honestly, it was a beautiful morning outside so I kind of enjoyed the mowing.

    Thelma, great workouts. I am sorry you are having trouble sleeping. As a life long insomniac, I know how frustrating that can be. I am fine for a night or two with little sleep, but after that I am a zombie. So great job pushing through and doing what you can right now.

    Enjoy the weekend.

    Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good. DH made it home on Saturday, and I made sure all of the chores were done so we could enjoy time in the golf course, which we did. We are veering into hot temperatures again, but at least the humidity isn’t July levels, which is good. But there is also no rain in sight.

    For workouts, on Saturday I did 2.0 Upper Body 1, Cathe Live All Low Impact Kickboxing, HiiT and core and Peloton yoga. Yesterday was a 45 minute spin, and Peloton Yoga + Pilates. And today was LITE Pyramid Lower Body, Abs 1, Cardio Party and more yoga.

    Thelma, great workouts. I try not to nap as well. Though on the days I am lifting heavy, sometimes I can’t help it.

    My sister is arriving tomorrow, so, I won’t be back until next week. I am so looking forward to her visit.

    Hi Ladies! I think I slept two hours on Sunday night, so I kept the workouts lite, walked, power yoga and Tracy Steen low impact Hiit with abs.

    We got a few minutes of rain on Monday afternoo.

    Laurel, great workouts! I am so glad you were able to play golf.
    I hope you and your sister have a wonderful time together.

    See you tomorrow!

    Hello Ladies,

    We had a very good weekend, and of course having a visit with the my dd and the boys. We really didn't do anything but enjoy the weather. We had some rain, and now it is temps in the 80's. The walnuts have begun to fall so there has been a lot of picking up to do. DH is doing really well. He had the catheter removed on Monday and so far so good. He is getting things ready for Halloween right now.

    So far the only things that I have done are yoga. This morning I did a longer yoga, so that was my workout for the day.

    Laurel, Great job with the workouts! Have a great time with your sister this week, I'm sure that you will have a lot of catching up to do.

    Thelma, Nice job with the workouts! I think that I will be doing as you, just progressing with the Michelle rotation at my pace. I will be doing a barre workout tomorrow, it really looks like a lot of fun. Muchelle's last name is Briehler. I enjoy a lot of her strength workouts, she usually does 3 sets for 40 seconds.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Ladies! I slept 2 hours last night again and had to get up early for an 8:15 chiropractic appointment, then a vet appointment. I was pretty much a zombie. My workouts were walking and Yin.

    Laurie, I'm glad you had a nice weekend and that your DH is doing very well.
    Great job with your workouts. Do your best with your workouts. Hopefully, your DH will be able to join you soon.
    Thanks for providing Michelle's last name. She has really good workouts!

    We are going back to temps in the 80's again. I hope it won't be humid.

    See you tomorrow!

    Hi Ladies! I finally slept better last night, but it was because I was so exhausted.

    My workouts were walking, yoga and Tracy Steen Legs.

    Morning Ladies,

    We have had a busy week. Wednesday I had to wait for the repair man to come to fix our water softener. Of course the softener is right by my workout space, and I didn't know what time he would arrive so my workout was delayed. Yesterday the oldest dd came over with the boys. I find that if I don't get online right away after I workout that I forget to post.

    So Wednesday I got in Michelle's Barre Burn, this one was total body and nothing crazy. Yesterday I just had enough time to get my yoga in before the family arrived. This morning was another Michell workout Compound Strength Total Body.

    Thelma, Great job with all the workouts! Glad to hear that you where able to get a good night's sleep in. I have been finding myself sleeping longer now that I'm not working. I am really enjoying Michelle's workouts. Some of her background exercisers have some bad form, and she tries to help them when she sees them. I just tend to watch and listen to what she is saying. Yesterday we had a really nice day, and managed to get some of the walnuts off the lawn before the oldest mowed. She helped, and was able to spend about and hour away from the boys. Sometimes Mom's need that break. I also told her to take a nap, she was very tired. We will have the boys next week while dd and the sil go on a vacation/conference. Should be interesting

    Have a great weekend!

    Hi Ladies! I hope you had a nice weekend. I was having a nice weekend until Sunday morning. I have really bad allergies, which translate into sneezing and seriously runny nose. It's as if my allergy pill and spray are not working all of a sudden. My nose is about to fall off from blowing it so much. I remembered I had some Benadryl and took two, but two hours later, I'm still blowing my nose. My head is super congested, and it hurts.

    My workouts on Friday were sculpting and walking.
    Saturday - walking.
    Sunday - walking and Gina B low impact cardio.

    On the good news front, we had thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon and got 2.2 inches of rain! Yaaay!

    Laurie, great workouts!
    It's amazing how busy one can be when we're retired. I'm glad you got to spend time with your DD and grand babies.
    Your DD must've appreciated the break from the boys. It has to be exhausting to keep a household and take care of young children.
    Good luck next week when you get the babies while their parents are away!

    See you next week!

    Hi Ladies! I am back from a super fun week with my sister. I really hated to see her go. It was so much fun having her here. She was loving our weather last week, so we spent a lot of time outside and taking walks. She even asked to help me pick up nuts one day! I hated saying yes, but she wanted to and seemed to actually enjoy it. We have a lot of nuts this year, so I was super appreciative of the help.

    For workouts, on Tuesday I did LITE Pyramid Upper Body, a cardio workout that I don’t remember and yoga. Wednesday and Thursday I did spinning, the Pyramid Lower and Upper Body workouts from the Intensity series and yoga. Friday was a 60 minute spin and yoga. Saturday was 60 minutes of yoga. Yesterday was 2.0 Lower Body 2, Cathe Live Kick Punch Cardio Party and yoga. Today was LITE Stacked Sets Upper Body and Core 2, Cathe Live Low Impact HiiT and more yoga.

    Thelma, great workouts. But I am sorry to hear about the sleepless nights and, now, allergy problems. I hope you feel better soon. We have not had your rain. We did have a brief storm last Wednesday, but yesterday despite lots of thunder, we got nothing. It is so very dry here.

    Laurie, great workouts. I am glad you enjoyed your time with your DD, and were able to give her a bit of a break from mothering. I am sure having your grandbabies next week will be both fun and exhausting. I am really happy to hear your DH is doing better. That has to be such a relief.

    See you tomorrow.

    HI Ladies, the allergies are still killing me. I decided to check my pollen app and the allergen is ragweed. I am not always extremely allergic to ragweed, but it must be pretty intense this year. There was one time probably in the early 2000s that I had a really bad allergic reaction to ragweed. I woke up sounding totally nasal on Monday. I decided to take Zyrtec, but I think it made things worse.

    I took two walks on the treadmill.

    Laurel, I am so glad you and your sister had a great time together. Funny about her wanting to help you pick up the nuts. It's fun when you don't have to do it every year. I was all excited about shoveling snow the first time I saw snow. That got old fairly quickly! LOL

    Great workouts!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 45 minute spin followed by 2.0 Standing and Floor Core and Peloton yoga.

    Thelma, great workouts despite the allergies. I am beginning to think every season in Alabama is allergy season. And I never used to suffer from allergies. DH is on prescribed allergy medications, and he still suffers so much from them. I really hope you feel better soon. That constant stuffy head is just so brutal. Yes, I think my sister would tire quickly with picking up nuts every year, especially if she had to follow it up with two months of raking leaves. 😁 I actually think she just really enjoyed being around big tall trees that aren’t pines. Colorado just doesn’t have great trees.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Ladies! I felt more like myself today. I still have a little bit of the waterworks, but I'm much better. My allergy meds aren't working. I took Benadryl on top of my prescribed meds and it helped a LOT!

    I am still having food problems. I think I need to give up on trying to eat poultry. Beef is the only meat I'm OK with. Fish is starting to feel questionable. We had a ground turkey dish with sweet potatoes and beans that I used to love. Keyword USED. I also had chicken for chicken salad. Both dishes were torture. Needless to say, I've not consumed enough calories the last few days.

    I've been researching recipes to see how I can incorporate more protein into my diet. I didn't even eat 900 calories today. I am loving oatmeal, so I'll start adding protein powder to my oatmeal.

    I am still hoping this is hormonal. I found a recipe on Instagram for a quinoa porridge with flax, chia and hemp seeds. The woman who posted it claims that this type of dish helps regulate hormones, so we'll see.

    My workouts today were walking and Gina B Low Impact Hiit. I still don't have energy to lift weights.

    Laurel, great workouts!

    I'm sure your sister enjoyed your yard with all the nice landscaping you do.

    I'll never forget what the allergist told me many moons ago. He said that people who come from tropical climates usually developed allergies and that allergies got worse the older we get. The stuffed head is really brutal.

    See you tomorrow!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was LITE Stacked Sets Lower Body and Core 1 followed by Cathe Live Cardio Combat and Peloton yoga. It has been raining all morning and we may get storms this afternoon. The moisture is very welcome. Strong storms….not so much. Hopefully they aren’t too bad.

    Thelma, great workout. I am glad your allergies are better, but I am sorry you are still struggling with food. Hopefully you find a way to add some calories back into your diet. Between the lack of sleep, allergies and food issues, you must be exhausted. I really hope you start feeling better soon.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Ladies! Sorry I didn't write on Wednesday night, but I just could not stay awake. I slept in the afternoon and at night I couldn't stay awake. i guess my body needed that much rest. I am doing much better.

    My workouts on Thursday were walking and Tracy Steen Total Body Beginners workout.

    We got 1.3 inches of rain between Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. I rained pretty hard on Thursday night for a while. We may get more rain Friday and Saturday too.

    Laurel, great workouts!
    I'm so glad you got some rain too!

    Have a great weekend!

    Thelma, great workouts. I am so glad you were finally able to get some sleep. It is amazing how one good night can change everything. I am glad you are getting this rain as well. We are still murky and damp today though I think we are going to dry out over the weekend. I saw yesterday that we are still considered abnormally dry but, no doubt, this week has helped.

    Enjoy the weekend.

    Hi Ladies! I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was nice. Our doggies graduated from obedience training. It was a lot of fun.

    We got 3 inches of rain in two days and additional 0.3" on Saturday.

    My workouts on Friday were Pilates sculpting and walking.
    Saturday - walking.
    Sunday - walking and Tracy Steen Total Body Express.

    Laurel, great workouts.
    Thank goodness we got rain last week because this week is going to be a pretty dry week.

    Have a wonderful week!

    Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good. We played golf both days which was not our plan. We had planned to have our yard aerated this weekend, but it got pushed to today, so we decided to enjoy the relatively chore-free weekend, which also happened to be a beautiful weekend weather-wise.

    For workout, on Saturday I did 2.0 Lower Body 1, and Perfect 30 Low Impact HiiT and Extended Stretch. Yesterday was Strong and Sweaty Ramped Up Upper Body and core, and LITE Cardio Party and extended stretch. Today was a 45 minute spin and Peloton Yoga.

    Thelma, great workouts. And congratulations to your well behaved pups! I am glad both you and they enjoyed obedience school. It is amazing how all the good effects of that rain are disappearing. It dries up so quickly, especially with the warmer weather. We don’t have any rain in our near future either unfortunately. But we might get out of the 80s at the end of the week which would help.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hello Ladies,

    I love my grandbabies, but both DH and I where very glad to see the parents walk through the door. 😀 The little one still wakes up in the middle of the night, so my sleep pattern is still a little off. I slept until 8 this morning, that isn't usual for me. Our weather has been really wonderful, and we had the boys outside every day. Our driveway has chalk marks all over.

    I didn't workout at all last week, but todays workout was Michelle's Full Body Compound Strength Workout. I really do like this workout, she incorporates some hiit at the end.

    Laurel, You keep rocking those workouts! Nice that you had two rounds of golf this weekend. I was going to go outside to do some yard work, but the lawn guy was here this morning so I don't think that I want to be in the yard today.

    Thelma, Great job with your workouts! Congrats on the well behaved pups. Some dogs are very high strung, and they can be the difficult ones to train.

    I have only read a few posts so will get to reading at some point today.

    Have a great day!

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

    Laurel, I'm glad you were able to play golf over the weekend with your DH. Great workouts!!

    We have 'sometimes' well behaved pups. The young pup gets too excited about everything!
    it really is amazing how quickly the signs of lack of rain show up. I heard we have another cold front coming.

    Laurie, I can just imagine how busy the grandbabies kept you and your DH. Young children are a so much work! Great workout!

    Our dogs did well with the training. I knew the instructor was going have agility training and props for the last class, so I trained the dogs to use a cat tunnel. I had to jump over the hurdle myself for my puppy to follow and he did. LOL. He is getting neutered on Wednesday. I'm nervous about the recovery period. He has a lot of energy.

    See you tomorrow!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was Killer Legs with the Barre bonus, Cathe Live Gloved Up and Ready and Peloton yoga.

    Laurie, I bet you were happy to see your DD and SIL again! I laughed when you said you didn’t workout last week. Having two young ones to look after is, without question, a workout. 😁 But I am glad all went well. I am also glad you are enjoying lovely weather. Great workout this morning.

    Thelma, great workouts. I have no doubt your dogs are well behaved. You and your DH take such good care of your animals. I hope your puppy’s surgery goes well tomorrow. Hopefully he recovers quickly. I just checked our weather. It looks like low 80s and dry for the foreseeable future so the cooling trend predicted for here has vanished. But this isn’t too unusual for early October for us, but I would prefer some rain.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hello Ladies,

    Today's workout was yoga and Cardio & Abs HiiT.

    DH is now the proud owner of an enclosed car trailer. It is now parked in our driveway. 😊

    Thelma, Nice workouts! I love that your pup was able to understand what he needed to do with you showing him. I don't think that any of our dogs where able to do that. Hope all goes well with your pup tomorrow.

    Laurel, Awesome job with the workouts! I was outside this morning, and it is crazy how the sun is so different at this time of the year than during the summer. Of course being at work during this time of the year I never really realized how different 80 deg is from season to season.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Ladies! my workout on Monday were walking and Tracie Steen Arms.
    Thank you for your wishes for my puppy's surgery.

    Laurel, great workouts!
    Our pups are well behaved till a strenger drives into our property, then their alarm system goes off and no one can stop them from barking.
    Our weather will like yours too.

    Laurie, great workouts!
    I bet your DH is very excited about his new toy!

    See you tomorrow!

    Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Upper Body 1, Cathe Love Low Impact HiiT with Active Recoveries and Peloton yoga.

    Laurie, great workouts. My workout was pretty much cardio and abs HiiT as well! Congratulations to your DH and his new trailer. That will probably make the drives to shows a little less stressful. I agree about the sun, and ours doesn’t swing nearly as much as yours. But I really notice it in the golf course when the sun is just low enough in the sky to cast different shadows and evade sunglasses. 😎

    Thelma, great workouts. I hope your puppy is doing okay. I imagine you will have your hands full with him the next few days to ensure he recovers well.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hello Ladies,

    Today's workouts where yoga and Toned Upper Body Hiit.

    Thelma, Great job with the workouts! DH is very happy with his new toy. I just have to make sure that when I back out of the garage that I don't hit the tongue of the trailer. 😀 Hope your little guys is doing well.

    Laurel, Awesome job with the workouts! Oh yes the sun in the wrong place. That is one thing that I don't miss about driving to and from work. The sun would always be in that very bad spot.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Ladies! Rhettie's surgery went well. Now we have to keep him quiet for at least 10 days. He's wearing a surgical onesie and an e-collar.

    My workouts on Wednesday were walking, Precision Iyengar yoga, CG Abs.

    Laurel, great workouts!
    I'm going to be a little busy with the pup, making sure he hasn't taken the e-collar off, or jumped up on a cat tree.

    Laurie, great workouts! You are going to have to be very aware of that trailer, so you don't hit it.
    The little guy is doing well. I haven't watched TV in a very long time, but tonight, I watched TV just so that I could have Rhettie on my lap without the e-collar.

    See you tomorrow!
    Thelma
