Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 60 minute spin followed by 30 minutes of Peloton yoga + Pilates. These were both great workouts today.

Laurie, great workouts. I am sure you don’t miss your drive to and from work, and as the winter sets in…..it will be so much better.

Thelma, great workouts. I am glad Rhettie’s surgery went well. How sweet of you to provide him a safe and comfortable place to rest without the e-collar. I am still so happy that he found such a loving home with you.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Thursday's workouts were walking and TS glutes.

Laurel, great workouts! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
I am really happy we were able to give Rhettie a loving forever home. He's a really sweet boy.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Lower Body 2, Party Rockin’ Step 1 and Peloton yoga. I have felt really strong this week which is a surprise since I am condensing my rotation right now to accommodate for our upcoming vacation and not taking as many rest day. But I’ll take it!

Thelma, great workouts. I am the least observant person on the planet, so keep that in mind when I say this. Is that a new picture of you? Because I love it…..especially your hair!! So pretty. Yes, I realize it may have been up for six years, but that’s just me. DH had been living in England for four years, driving through the town where the base we were stationed at is, and I noticed a 100 year old thatched roof cottage for the first time. In four years of living there and driving through the town every work day. He still laughs about that. Anyhow, you look beautiful.

Enjoy the weekend.

Hi Ladies! I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was very good. We got a one-minute passing shower on Sunday afternoon.

My workouts on Friday were walking and Sculpting.
Saturday - walking.
Sunday - walking and CG Epic Heat Day

Laurel, great workouts! I'm glad you felt strong last even though you've been pushing yourself harder.

Thank you for the complements! That picture is old. I need to upload an updated one. I find that If I am doing the driving I don't notice certain things. Just the other day DH was driving us somewhere when I noticed something that I should've noticed years ago. LOL

Have a wonderful week!

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good. Saturday was spent on errands and yesterday we played golf. Yesterday was cloudy and surprisingly breezy but it was cooler as well, so it was very pleasant to bee outside despite the breeze.

For workouts, on Saturday I did CTX Upper Body Split, LITE Rev’d Up Rumble and yoga. Yesterday was CTX Leaner Legs, a 30 minute spin and yoga. And today was 2.0 Upper Body 2, Cathe Live Boom Boom Pow Kickbox and more yoga.

Thelma, great workouts. Despite it being cloudy both yesterday and today, we still haven’t gotten any rain. But it feels more like autumn now, especially since the wind yesterday started knocking leaves off the trees. I don’t look around when I drive either. DH sees everything and all I see is the road and the cars around me. We had wildly different experiences when we drove to Alaska separately, that’s for sure. 😁

See you tomorrow.

Hello Ladies,

We had a very nice weekend. Our car club had a picnic/meeting, and it turned out to be a very nice day. On Thursday oldest dd came over with the boys and they spent the day here. On Friday we spent a lot of time getting the house back in order. 😀 Today was really humid out, so no work outside. It did get better in the afternoon.

For workouts I didn't get a chance to do anything on Thursday. Friday was yoga and a Cardio HiiT workout. Saturday and Sunday where just yoga. Today was yoga and a Lower Body Quads & Hammies workout.

Thelma, Great job with all the workouts! I'm surprised at how many trees we have that still have leaves on them. Our walnut trees dropped all of there fruit, but it still has leaves. Must be all the rain that we received this year.

Laurel, Awesome job with the workouts! I absolutely love the name of the live workout. Boom Boom Pow! 😀 Just the thought of not having to drive in the snow anymore makes me so happy.

Have a great day!

Hi Ladies. I had the saddest day today. We had to say goodbye to one of our cats. We adopted her and our boy cat in 2010. It was time to set her free, but it's never easy.
In the morning I was hoping she'd perk up, but she didn't.

I managed to get a short walk in and in the morning I did power yoga.

Laurel, I'm glad you got to spend some fun time with your DH.
Great workouts!
We got a few drops of rain and that was it.
I also look at the road in front of me when I drive. I've learned to also look at the sides of the road looking for animals that may want to jump out in front of me.
I always freak out when I see drivers looking at the passenger next to them and not the road.

Laurie, I'm glad you had a nice weekend with your car club friends and the grand babies!
Great workouts!
I can't believe it's been humid there. It's been feeling a lot like early fall here.

See you tomorrow!

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was LIS Turbo Barre and yoga. I have never loved that barre workout, but it felt good today after all the heavy work I have been doing.

Laurie, great workouts. Sounds like a fun weekend. Our oak trees have dumped a ton of acorns this year, and our walnut tree has done the same. The entire yard is a nut farm right now.nbi take it to mean that our trees are healthy. 😀

Thelma, I am so sorry about your poor kitty. You have had such a tough year with your pets. That is so hard. Great job getting workouts in despite that. But be kind to yourself. You’ve been through a lot lately.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies, I did two walks with my puppy on Tuesday.

We are actually getting a little rain tonight!

Laurel, great workouts!

Thanks so much Laurel. We've lost three pets this year. It really has been very hard.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Today’s workouts were new ones. On Peloton they have introduced a few spin classes specifically aimed at women in menopause, so I started my workout with the 20 minute version of the class. It was made up of short but really intense sprints followed by longer recoveries. I loved it and can’t wait to try the longer version. I followed it with a class Cathe has taped for her On Demand App as part of her upcoming LMR 2 series. It was Total Body Metabolic Strength. This was a fantastic class. Cathe recommended heavy weigh throughout (STS 2.0 heavy) which kept the heart rate up for sure, especially since many of the moves were compound. So glad I tried this one because it is was short (41 minutes) but felt like an effective total body workout.

Thelma, I am glad you spent some time with your puppy yesterday. We got hammered with rain yesterday afternoon. I was running errands when the sky opened up and was drenched from running from the store to my car about 25 yards away. I am still happy to have the rain despite that.

DH and I are off tomorrow for vacation. I will be back week after next.

Morning Ladies,

I get so involved in my day that I tend to forget about posting. Crazy how that is, must be because I'm not on the computer all day long. It has been beautiful weather. After Monday's humid weather we had rain come through and that brought the cold weather. This morning it was in the 40's and right now still in the 50's. I have the screen door open, and it's nice and comfortable in the house.

My workouts have been with Michelle. Yesterday was Upper Body Chest & Triceps and this morning was Lower Body Quads & Glutes. I'm following these all up with stretches/yoga that Michelle recommends. I was very surprised at how my legs felt after Monday's workout. I must have used the right weight.

Thelma, Great job with all the workouts! I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. It always amazes me how fast the time goes, it just seem like we just adopted Rocket. It has been 10 years already.

Laurel, Awesome job with the workouts! Enjoy your time away. I'm just glad that we where able to keep up with the falling nuts this year. I think that DH said we picked up about 16 wheelbarrows full of walnuts. In the past we tended to wait until all the leaves fell, but then the walnuts where all slimy by then. 😀 This year our cherry trees didn't produce fruit like past years, so they must not enjoy all that rain.

Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Wednesday's workouts were Precision Yoga, walking and Tracy Steen Low Impact Hiit.

Laurel, great workouts! I'm glad you enjoyed both classes!
We didn't get as lucky with the rain as you did. My rain gauge only collected 0.2 inches of rain.
I hope you and your DH have a wonderful vacation!

Wow Laurie, it did get cold there! I feel like it's been a little muggy around here during the day.

Great workouts! Did your DH start working out with you yet? How is he doing?

Losing this kitty was hard. I was a mess at the vet's office. I didn't care who saw me cry while we waited for the vet.
I can't believe you've had Rocket 10 years already! I joined MFP in January of 2014. The three of us have been workout buddies for almost 12 years!
What do you guys do with all those nuts?

See you tomorrow!

Morning Ladies,

Sorry I wasn't online. DD came over with the boys on Thursday, and Friday thru Saturday I was determined to get a quilt done. I can say that my shoulders where really worked out with that quilting. I had to move that quilt this way and that to get it quilted. I used everything that my Mom gave me from all the quilts that she made for the grandkids. I thought it would look crazy with all the different colors, but it really does look pretty. I want to give it away to someone in my family when we get together for Thanksgiving. I will get a pic of it when I have it completed. Right now it has to have the binding finished. This is how I get when I want something off my plate.

Right now for workouts I'm in a "I don't know what I want to do" stage. I have been doing the Michelle workouts. They are okay, but I'm really in the mood for some boxing. So this morning I didn't even do a boxing workout, but a kettlebell. It was perfect for my mood, and it was with Kelly on her youtube channel. It appears that she has moved from the Venmo site to a membership on youtube. She just might be the instructor that I need right now.

Thelma, Hope that you had a great weekend. For the most part it was nice, but cold. This morning it is raining. Great job with those workouts! I would probably have been like you with having to put a pet down. I'm a big crier, so I would be right along with you. Wow has it really been 12 years that we all have been posting, it doesn't seem that long ago.

I will probably post tomorrow, but Wednesday I will be up north with my oldest to visit with my Mom. She has never met dd's youngest boy. I'm sure the oldest will be into everything at my moms. 😀

Have a wonderful day!

Laurie
