Cathe Fans Part 5

Morning Ladies,

This morning was 30MTF Total Body Kickboxing Workout 2. Rocket is afraid to go outside, poor guy. I hope this is him avoiding those skunks in the future.

Laurel, All those workouts are great ones! This morning on our walk (which is in total darkness now. ), there where three other dog walkers. Everyone was good morning's in the dark. Glad to hear that your DH is going on those with you still. I think that the skunk is digging up the grubs that have been in our lawn. Like the sandhill cranes that we had a few weeks ago, they must be very tasty. I'm sure the skunk is getting ready to hibernate.

Thelma, Great job on the workout! That is the perfect type of weather. We had upper 40's this morning, so a bit nippy on our walk. Yes I have been doing the learning, and I will have to say that this covid has been a great opportunity to get all this training for free. Although it would be nice to have the teacher actually see what I am doing, it can only improve my efforts. I signed myself up for another ruler class that is free from our local quilting store. I want to see if this teacher has other tips and tricks to give me. We will think positive about the ring, and it may show up in an unexpected way.

Have a great day!
Laurie

Hi Ladies, Tuesday's workouts were Monica Pulgarin's Zumba, Yoga Basics and Cathe's Athletic Training Workout.

We had rain all night last night and some throughout the day. It was cold and damp today too. I think the next few days will be fall weather days.

Laurie, what a fun workout! Awwww! Poor Rocket! Did you manage to get him to go outside?
I'm glad you found those free training opportunities. I'm sure having a live class would be the ideal situation. You're an expert and you'll do great.
I keep hoping that ring will show up in an unexpected way!

Laurel, great workouts!
I really like those PHA workouts. You are good about forcing yourself to do those workouts you tend to ignore! Sounds like we're having the same weather!

Goodnight ladies!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 4DS Upper Body premix and 4DS LIS core work followed by Cathe Live Cardio Party Play Date. It is a beautiful autumn day here and after a week of feeling really fatigued, I feel really energetic today. That season change knocked me back again this year....as usual. Feels good to feel like myself again, that’s for sure.

Thelma, another great workout. I hope you are enjoying a beautiful autumn day too! We slept with the bedroom window open last night for the first time since May, and I love waking up to fresh air. I am hoping we have several weeks of weather like this before it gets colder.

Laurie, great workout. Wow, those quilts are amazing! What incredible artistry. I will be so interested to hear how the classes go. What a fantastic opportunity. And I love the idea of doing a quilt of your DH’s car. Boy, now I wish I quilted.

See you tomorrow.

Laurel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was LITE Stacked Sets Lower and Abs 1 followed by a 45 minute HiiT and Hills ride with Peloton and a walk with DH. We are so enjoying these autumn days right now.

Thelma, great workouts. I am so glad you are enjoying the morning cardio! I love how you describe it....like a cup of strong coffee. Good stuff. We have a pretty noisy bug life here....and frogs....but it is much louder in the summer than it is now. There are some nights here it is so quiet I wonder if I forgot to leave the windows open! But it can get very noisy when it is windy because of the trees, so it is a little hit or miss. I am back to dragging today, so I don’t think the full moon gives me energy either.

Until tomorrow.

Laurel

Morning Ladies,

I must not have hit post reply yesterday, because I remember typing responses. Oh well my workouts where 30MTF Slim Sculpting workout 1 and Step Boxing 2 Workout 2. We had temps in the upper 30's this morning, very nippy out.

Laurel, Great job on all those workouts. Isn't that lady impressive with what she can do with fabric? I just love the way she uses different prints to make the quilts. I'm hoping to improve my color palette ability with this process. I feel like I'm skittish with making choices when it comes to color.

Thelma, You also have been rocking those workouts, but I'm sorry to hear that you are dragging. Even with using light weights you are still working out, so that is something. Today is suppose to be a nice sunny one too, after the rain yesterday that will be nice. This morning Rocket shot out of the house, and I yelled at him. He actually listened, and didn't pursue whatever it was that he saw. I think it was a cat. Sounds like some really pretty fall colors that you are experiencing.

Have a great weekend,
Laurie

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. We had beautiful fall weather all weekend. Our early morning temps have been in the low 40's. Definitely on the cooler side. It doesn't look like we'll be getting any rain at all this week but it will be sunny which is great. I still would like some rain given that we're surrounded by trees.

On Friday we went out to lunch with some friends. We went to a BBQ place that has outdoor sitting. It was on the cool side but we were dressed for the weather. It was our first time eating at a restaurant since 3/13! The food was good and it was fun to spend time with our friends.

We also got our flu shots on Friday afternoon. Between the shot and the food I allowed myself to take an afternoon nap.

My workout on Friday was a Gina B low impact cardio workout. My Sunday workout was S&S Total Body Giant Sets Lower Body.

I'm going for my haircut on Tuesday. I'm a little nervous.

Laurie, It drives me crazy when I forget to hit the Post Reply button! Great workouts!!

I'm glad Rocket is feeling safe about going out! Thankfully he listened to you when you yelled at him in case he'd seen the skunk!
We are starting to see some nice colors around our house. The valley still looks pretty green.

Laurel, fantastic workouts!!

I am feeling better this week. I really think the cooler temps were making me tired. We have the heat on and on Saturday when I changed the sheets we added the electric blanket.

Hopefully you'll be able to go out and play golf soon and won't suffer from depression this cold season.
We stayed home during the weekend as always these days.

Have a great week!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was quiet, with fantastic weather, and it was productive enough without being too busy....which I like. For workouts, on Saturday I did a Jessica Smith Power Walk and 30 minutes of yoga with Kristin McGee. Yesterday was Legs and Glutes followed by a Tabata spin with Peloton. And today was Ramped Up Upper Body doubled premix followed by Fit/Split Mixed Impact Cardio only and a walk with DH.

Thelma, great workouts. I am glad you got out and enjoyed some time with friends. I haven’t eaten in a restaurant since February, but at least I am more willing to do take out, which gives me a break from cooking. I am glad you are feeling more energetic this week. Hopefully that blanket will help.

Laurie, sounds like a nice weekend. I am glad you got together with your DD and her DH to reminisce about your time in England. Sounds like it is getting chilly up there. DH keeps forgetting it isn’t summer anymore here. This morning he put on shorts and a t-shirt and I thought to myself it would take him less than an hour to bundle up. Sure enough, he is now in long pants and a sweatshirt. While our afternoon temperatures are warm, it takes until evening for the house to warm up at all.

Enjoy the day.

Laurel

Morning Ladies,

This morning's workout was 30MTF Meltdown Workout 2, which is heavy bag tabata.

Laurel, Great job on some tough workouts. At least doing the upper body twice seems tough to me. This morning was actually fairly warm. I'm still going on our walks with my capri pants on, just don't want to have to wear the long pants yet. Of course I'm all bundled up on top, with sweatshirts and coats. So I guess I can understand your DH wanting to still be in those shorts. We have had to put the heat on, it just got to cold in the house. Of course at this time of the year the sun is beating on the west side of the house where the thermometer is, and that makes it think it's warmer in the house than it is.

Thelma, Glad you where able to enjoy a jaunt out, and that you got in some Zumba. I'm looking at some places that sell the English sausage. I want to make bangers and mash, something that I really enjoyed when I was there. The sausage that we have here isn't the same, so I think that I have found a place. Just need to place my order so that I can try them. Hope that you haircut appointment goes well for you today!

Have a great day!
Laurie

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were Monica Pulgarin's Zumba, Yoga Basics and S&S Total Body Giant Sets Upper Body.

I went for my haircut today and what a relief!

Laurie, great workout today!
We've turned out heat on and also our humidifier!
I'm glad you were able to find a place that sells English sausage! Speaking of food, did you ever make meatloaf using Lipton dry onion soup? I've never been big on meatloaf but this recipe is amazing. I put bacon on top and BBQ sauce.

Laurel, another killer workout! Great job!
According to my rotation schedule we're on week 1 of Upper/Lower. I probably screwed up the dates when we repeated that meltdown week. So this means I'm a week behind you.

I am so excited about the Perfect 30 workouts. Thanks so much for starting to think of ways to incorporate the workouts into our routine!
I don't think COVID gets transmitted via food. DH is not big on pizza but I've been craving pizza for a while! You just made think about that craving! LOL

I just read that we will have a rainy weekend due to the hurricane. Will you be getting rain too?

Goodnight ladies!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout started with Cathe’s live class from last week which was Metabolic Upper Body. Since my upper body is still feeling Monday’s workout, this was perfect for me today. It hit all of the muscle groups, got the heart rate up a little but wasn’t too fast paced, which I like. I followed it with a favorite....Cathe Live Love Me Some Cardio Kickboxing.

Thelma, great workouts! I am glad your haircut went well. I bet it feels better too. I think I confused you when I repeated that week in the rotation. What I did was actually substituted the planned week with the repeated week, meaning I tossed out one of the planned rotation weeks in order to repeat a week. My bad in not explaining that. But....no problem!! I am loving these Upper/Lower weeks, so I will do it again next week (with maybe slightly different workouts, but the same concept), and then we will be in sync again for the final three weeks. I have no idea what I am going to do when this rotation is done, so another week to come up with something is just fine with me.

Laurie, great workout! Sounds like a great upper body workout. I am still feeling that double workout from Monday, but at least it is a good ‘hurt’. That Leg Day workout Cathe is offering on download is a pretty good one. It was done the day before the Glassboro Road Trip started last year, so it was a full class, but that is always fun. It was thorough but not too tough, which I like. I recommend giving it a try. I mean....it’s free! I completely agree about forced air heat being warmer. It would take hours to heat up the house with a radiator. The downside....I have a tendency to have a dull headache all winter though that isn’t as bad when I live in more humid environments. I laughed about the coats in the car. This is the time of year I don’t even know what to wear when eating dinner on the patio, because the minute the sun goes down, the goosebumps show up on the arms. I swear I wear more clothing in fall than in all three other seasons combined!

See you tomorrow.

Laurel
