Cathe Fans Part 5

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

As of 9:30PM our rain gauge had collected 2 1/2" of rain! There might be a little rain on Tuesday afternoon, but the rain is expected to return from Tuesday night into Thursday.

Laurel, great workouts! I'm glad you took some time to relax and that you got some rain too!

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Tuesday's workouts were walking, Tracy Steen Low Impact Hiit and Abs.

Monday was a drizzly day. As of Monday, at 5pm we'd accumulated 2.6" of rain since Monday. We may have a rainy Wednesday and Thursday.
I bet the grandbabies looked adorable in their Halloween costumes. I am sorry you had to rush sewing in case their customes didn't arrive on time.

Laurie, great workouts! I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you so much for the recipe. I'm making it next week!

My back is back to normal. Thanks for asking! The yoga class wasn't as intense as it normally is and I was thankful for that. LOL

Laurel, great workouts!

I hope you got a good amount of rain too. Our grass is totally dead.
I read that we may have our first frost over the weekend! I'm not ready for that!

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Wednesday's workouts were yoga, walking and Tracy Steen Glutes.

Wednesday turned out to be very rainy too. The last time I checked the rain gauge it had 3.6". The forecast is showing another rainy week next week

Laurel, great workouts!

I am so thankful for all the rain we got. We really needed it. I'm glad you got some rain too. I hope we don't get our first frost this weekend. My annuals are still looking good!

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Triceps followed by LITE Cardio Party with Calorie Crush, Abs, and Extended Stretch. My legs are screaming at me today from my leg workout yesterday, but the cardio seemed to help.

Thelma, great workouts. We had rain all day yesterday as well, and some very heavy rain. We also had wind, thunder and hail in the afternoon. I think we are supposed to clear up tomorrow for a few days. I had to turn on the heat this morning, though. The house was 58 when I got up which is just too chilly even for perpetually hot me. I still have a hibiscus blooming on one of my porches! But I think I will have to say goodbye to it soon which makes me sad.

Laurie, I am glad you are beginning to feel a little better. Gentle yoga is probably all you should be doing right now, so great choice. DH is still in Hawaii, and he says it is very dry there. It was when we were there as well. I think he is going to be in for a shock when he comes home because he will have spent the better part of a month there (including our trip) and autumn temperatures and the darkness after we change clocks will feel like a pretty stark change no doubt. I am so sorry your DH is going to need another surgery. Hopefully everything gets fixed this time. He has to be pretty uncomfortable and frustrated right now no doubt.

See you tomorrow.

Laurel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Back and a 45 minute spin.

Thelma, great workouts. It has felt pretty chilly here as well. Today is sunny, but the breeze still feels like autumn for sure. I was just running errands and the colors on the trees are really beginning to come out. It looks pretty this year, and we don’t always have pretty autumn colors here. You remember right that I used to bring our hibiscus in during the winters, but I stopped doing that a couple of years ago and promised myself and DH that I would stop turning our house into a botanical garden during the winter. So now I only get stuff in the spring that I am willing to part with in the fall. Well…..minus one plant this year that I have tucked away next to my spin bike. 😎

Happy Halloween! Enjoy the weekend.

Laurel

Morning Ladies,

The cold is just about out of my system. Today is the first day that I felt well enough to do something workout wise. I had to miss a Halloween Party on Friday because I was coughing so much. On Thursday our oldest grandson had a seizure from a fever. Good thing Dad is a doctor, he got him cooled down right away and then Mom and Dad took him to the ER. So scary. That time change yesterday had me a little depressed that it got so dark so soon.

My workouts have been the yoga, and this morning was also a Lindsey Bomgren Full Body workout.

Laurel, Awesome job with the workouts! That is a long time to be away from home. Will they give your DH some time off when he gets back home? I'm sure it will be a shock to his system. He will be doing some time change adjustments. We still have leaves on our trees too. The colors have really been beautiful this year. Right now it is mostly the red leaved trees that still have the color, everything else is dropping.

Thelma, Nice job with all the workouts! DH has one of the implants that was put in pushing against his bladder, and that is probably when is causing an irritation which leads to the infection. The doctor says that the procedure that he will have next should take care of that issue. It has just been a really crazy roller coaster with this. Will you be doing anything special for your DH's birthday?

Have a great day!

Laurie

Hi Ladies! I woke up with a sinus headache. It was a rough day. I sent DH to CVS to get me some meds and they helped. I also purchased a sinus steam machine, and I think it helped.

I managed to do a walk on the treadmill and that was it for workouts. I couldn't even do yoga because I had a bad sinus headache.

Laurie, I am glad you're feeling better. Great workouts!
How scary about the baby's seizure! Thank God your SIL was home to assist him. I hope he's feeling better. I can't imagine how scared your DD and SIL were!
I hate the time change. The darkness is depressing at this this time of the year.

I hope the procedure your DH will have really takes care of his problems. He's been through a lot, and you have gone along for the ride too.

Laurel, great workouts and specially, that Intensity workout!!
I am glad your DH will be returning home soon!
DH is not big on celebrations. I'll ask him if he wants to go out to dinner, but it's not something we normally do for birthdays.

I don't think I can stop over buying plants. I bought a couple more than I usually do and I loved the way they looked all over our deck. You need to send me a few ounces of self-control!

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! I'm feeling better. The sinus meds really helped.
Tuesday's workouts were walking and Tracy Steen low impact HIIT.

I just checked our forecast and it looks like we'll drop to 22 degrees on Monday night. I'm sure even the plants in the garage will die then.

Laurel, great workouts!
I am gkad oyou've been able to keep those headaches under control.

I understand the danger of going to plant stores! LOL

See you tomorrow!
Thelma

Hi Ladies! I had a set back with my sinuses. I forgot to take the nighttime medicine on Tuesday night and woke up totally congested all over again.

My workouts were walking and Precision Yoga.

Laurel, great workouts! I hope mowing the lawn wasn't too much of a fight!

The low temp on Sunday is supposed to be 26, 22 on Monday and 24 on Tuesday.

See you tomorrow!

Thelma

Morning Ladies,

The oldest dd came over yesterday, it seems to be the day that they come over during the week. It was nice to give the grandson a big hug and kiss. The youngest is just starting to get on all fours to start crawling, so by Christmas we will have another one to watch with all the decorations.

DH is scheduled for his surgery mid December, so hopefully he will be good to go by Christmas.

My workouts have all been from Lindsey. Of course I have gotten in my yoga also. I did a Full Body Pilates workout on Tuesday, yesterday was a Leg workout and this morning was Pilates Barre Class followed by Pilates Abs. I'm really enjoying adding in these Pilates workouts, and I will include a boxing workout tomorrow.

Laurel, Awesome job with all the workouts! Nice that the weather cooperated a little so that you could get outside for a bit. That will be nice to have your DH around for the remainder of the year. I always enjoyed having off at that time, everyone always seemed so tense with end of year and holiday things.

Thelma, Great job with the workouts! Dang on those sinus headaches, I know how those can be. With the really cold temps we received, that really helped with my headaches this year. Your temps are sounding a lot like ours when we wake up in the morning's.

Have a great day!

Laurie

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Back and ICE Rock’m Sock’m Knockout. I will do my yoga later. I am going to put 2.0 back on the shelf for a little while. I have had great results with it, so it probably won’t be there for very long. But I am going to do a couple/few weeks of ‘whatever’ while I decide on a winter rotation. I have dozens of Cathe Live strength workouts I haven’t done, so I may focus on those for a little while….until I start missing the heavy weights again.

Laurie, great workouts. I love Pilates and should do more of it for sure. I am glad you enjoyed time with your DD and grandsons. I bet this Christmas will be fun this year…..but also probably a little chaotic and exhausting. But sometimes those are the best Christmases. I am glad your DH has a surgery date on the calendar. Hopefully it will be his last one for this.

Thelma, great workouts. I am glad your sinuses are better. Forced air heat has never been good for my sinuses. I am hoping these new HVAC units we have may be better for me because they don’t blow nearly as hard as regular HVACs and they aim to maintain a steady humidity level. So we’ll see! I just got rid of my hibiscus. 😢 It really was too big to bring inside and its last two flowers bloomed and died so…..I only have one plant left. And this one will come inside this weekend. I don’t know if it will last all winter, but since we are supposed to warm up to the 70s again, it has a little outdoor time left for sure.

DH will be taking Monday and Tuesday off from work so I probably won’t be back until mid-week. Stay warm with this arctic blast!

Laurel

Morning Ladies,

Had a nice weekend. We babysat on Saturday, that was a late night driving home. We had snow on the ground Sunday morning. We missed the really large dump of snow, that headed south of us. This morning I had a dental appointment, so my workout was late. I did Lindsey's Leg & Back workout and of course my yoga.

Laurel, Great job with the workouts. Enjoy the time that you have with your DH this week. The 2.0 rotation seemed to have gone by really quick. Enjoy doing some whatever workouts. Doing some of those Live workouts will be a nice change of pace, and of course shock the body.

Thelma, Love the workouts! This cold weather came as a shock to our bodies also. Tomorrow is suppose to be back to the normal fall temps. It was the wind that was the worst. The rooster must have realized that it was better to be in the garage than being by himself in the freezing cold.

Have a great day!

Laurie

Morning Ladies,

My workouts today where yoga and Lindsey's Shoulders & Arms. She included some chest work in there also with push ups and chest presses.

Thelma, Nice job with the workouts! Your weather really sounds a lot like ours. They said it was going to warm up today, so far that isn't the case. I wanted to get outside to do some cleanup from the plants freezing, but that will not happen today. Does the rooster enjoying being in the tree? 😀

Have a great day!

Laurie

Hi Ladies! I am back from a long weekend with DH and will be entering another one in two days because he is taking Friday off as well. He has a lot of leave to use between now and January 1. We survived the cold but, boy, did it kill everything. I am glad I got rid of the rest of my plants (minus a mum) because they wouldn’t have stood a chance. We broke a 99 year record low on Monday night. But just like that we are headed to the 60s and 70s again. Our plan on Friday is to play golf. 😎

For workouts, I decided to alternate Cathe Live lower and upper body workouts this week. So Sunday was a lower body workout and spin. Monday was an upper body workout and Cathe’s Cardio Fusion workout. Yesterday was another lower body workout and a spin. And today was another upper body workout and Cathe Live Warrior Kickboxing. I have also been doing yoga every day. I am enjoying the break from heavy weights for sure this week, but I also know that I will tire of the endless reps Cathe does in her live workouts before too long. But I still have no idea what I want to do next so I will keep playing with Cathe Live for a little while longer.

Thelma, great workouts. I am so glad you were able to get your rooster inside. We had some flurries on Monday but other parts of Alabama had real snow. But the wind is what made everything so bad. It knocked so many leaves out of the trees. I spent two hours raking yesterday, and it is just a start.

Laurie, great workouts. I am glad you didn’t get too much snow, but your cold temperatures sound rough. We still had bushes like our azaleas in bloom on Sunday and everything died over night. So I have a lot of cleanup to do in our garden as well. I really hated seeing everything die that rapidly. It is like we went from early autumn into mid winter over night.

See you tomorrow.

Laurel

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was Cathe Live Love Me Some Legs, and 45 minute spin and some good juicy yoga. Today’s leg workout included a ton of fire walkers, so my hips were screaming. The yoga helped for sure.

Thelma, great workouts. Our hydrangeas are all dead as well. We still have azaleas in full bloom, and all those flowers were killed, which is sad. But my mum road out the weather in our dining room and is back outside and lovely. I don’t always have great luck with mums, but this one is beautiful. We are supposed to be in the mid 70s tomorrow and Saturday! Crazy weather.

See you Monday! Enjoy the weekend.
