    Paula yes, please we need tickets. Sorry you were without power. We get high winds here also. Our generator got a workout last summer. Rocky used it on the mountain property. Rocky is getting tickets for me also. So I am in. If any of us win the lottery we can all go to the Keys! I love the fruit there.

    Chris I know wind also. Kind of adds a level to your workout.

    Kathy glad you are healing. Would not be near as much fun at the Keys without you!

    More strength training today. Resistance training is about 2/3 of more traditional weights. So 100 is about 75. Just a guess, but I am good with it. Also got my lazy butt on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Otherwise I was a bum. Played games and read up on alternating currents and tides in the ocean as pertains to the reef tank.

    • The power outage caused by the winds depleted our supply of generator gasoline.
    • I had to go buy more today in case the power goes out again.
    • The gas station sells lottery tickets.
    • ...PowerBall and MegaMillions.
    • Maybe a little Half Moon Bay MiniMart will be in the news tonight...
    • Roll those dice! Key West, here we come!!!

    I have found check the Tickets! Maybe we are winners!

    I haven't really done any exercise for the past 2 days. Work has been ridiculous with like 10 hours of meetings both days since we had off on Monday. And then I just spent by the end of the day. Yesterday I was really struggling with my fluid levels. I need to make sure and drinking more water. Got pretty dizzy in the evening.

    Chris

    Oh my gosh. I completely forgot about how we will need some really nice looking guys to fly and served us. No sense in not going all the way.

    Paula I did not win either. :s But there is next time. And hopefully you got the gas just in case.

    So I ordered 2 new handles for my BowFlex. So tired of changing them out all the time!

    Recumbent bike 60 mins - 13.37 miles

    We had a $1M winner in Georgia. It wasn’t me ladies. Friday is another day...Mega millions may be $1B. And why is there always 1 winner when it gets that high. I would gladly share it with several others. :D

    We had a $1M in California too, also not me. But I didn't want to be greedy and win both, don'cha know, cuz I got MegaMillion tickets too when I filled the gas cans. They're still pending. Just a billion or so. Dreams are fun...

    Kathy I would also be happy to share. Fingers crossed that one of us win. We really need to all get together! If I win I am also writing checks out to all my co-workers as I pack up on my last day. So they can get something nice and remember me. Because I will also be moving!



    Did a one minute plank. And took a nap due to a migraine.

    That's my Paula, always thinking of others. Can you share that MegaMillion with me? I need a little $30,000 for my cabin. And another $10,000 to put in a room for when you visit! Muahaha

    I actually won, Shelley, woo hoo!

    Two whole numbers!! I'd help you out with the cabin, but $4.00 just won't go too far. :'(

    I sawed and pruned suckers off a former "bush" (now tree) until I was huffing and puffing and couldn't lift my arms any more. Got everything that was hitting the house except the biggest branch. That'll either require all my energy renewed; or an electric tool. Maybe this is an excuse to get a reciprocal saw.

    Its canopy was so high that it acted like a kite or a sail. Last week the crazy winds really whipped the house with its branches. Couldn't sleep. It was like listening to a sledgehammer pounding the house.

    But it's mostly gone now. It's back to being a bush again. More winds are predicted this week, so we'll see if the trim helped. Love being tired at the end of a chore.

    Walked 2.3 miles in 43 minutes.

    Paula sounds like a great arm workout.

    Karen it’s raining in Atlanta this morning so sounds like a good day to try this 30 minute workout. And my recumbent bike.

    We will see what the day brings.

    We had a break in the weather so I went out and lopped and sawed some more of the tree/bush to make my poor wimpy upper arm muscles all quivery. Started but didn't finish the last branch hitting the roof. That will need to wait till after the storm now.

    @cpanus Chris, This storm actually rated a name: "Winter Storm Orlena." Weather forecasters are predicting a few feet of snow around the North Bay and up to 7 feet in the Sierra's.
