We started out as a TA/Meta thread and some have moved to other types of workouts so all welcome. We post sometimes everyday sometimes less often.

So ALL WELCOME!

Saturday - about 25 minutes of shine workout and then a CS episode
Yesterday - went to a horse trial - rode, walked around, stretched a little when I got home
today - Essentrics Flexibility for athletes

Had fun at the horse trial, saw my friends, jumped all the jumps, had to put in an inquiry about our cross country times, fortunately I had not cleared my stopwatch so once I showed the organizer (and given that everyone was about a minute over the optimum time and given that my watch and the recorded time was exactly one minute off) she agreed something was off and made changes. I know probably sounds like mish mash but the organizer understood but we were there a long time waiting on results.

A cold front came through while we were out there and it was cold last night (40's so cold for october for oklahoma).

hope you all had a great weekend, Terrie

Body Beast Arms (biceps and triceps)... DONE!

I enjoyed this workout too!! I watched STS Disc 27 or 28 with it. I warmed up with Cathe, then the first 3 sets she did a set of 15, 12 and 8. Since it was on my workout to do that rep range, I did it with her. She did overhead presses, I did my bicep curls. It was fun!! I pushed myself, lifted heavy, and went slower than Cathe. I synced my workout up with her when I could.. if she was doing a set, I would do it with her (but my exercise instead). If shew as resting, I rested with her. I liked having a little longer rests anyhow! I also did my reps during her rests, because the music is slower and relaxing and the lift cadence is nice to the rest music.

I don't modify this workout at all, I do it as written. Probably one of the only ones! My arms are comfortably sore today!

We also scooped poop in the pasture for about 90 minutes. LB did a LOT of scooping! I was proud of her. I was in charge of the wheel barrow, so I was taking the poop from the pasture to the poop pile. It was actually kinda fun, because another lady showed up and we all worked together.

We spent the morning doing school, scooped the poop, then did errands. I found a schlich horse advent calendar, and I am going to have LB do an advent calendar this year. We have never done advent, but her BFF's family does, and she is interested in what it is.

So there's a series called "Adventures in Odyssey" that is like a kids radio show, and I got their advent series. So between that and the advent calendar, I have probably overprepared for something I really know nothing about. I know it involves lighting candles too, so I have a candle holder than holds like, I dunno, 8 or 9 candles, and I am gonna wing it and see if it works.

In my previewing of STS, I might take a week and do a paper workout of some of the workouts. I don't like lifting to a video I've discovered, because I stress more about doing the lifts with them than in lifting my best weight. So I am thinking I might do it off paper, and just have the video on. I love Body Beast, but Cathe does exercises that might fill in the holes of BB since he works mostly large muscle groups and Cathe adds in some smaller. I don't want to burn myself out on BB, and I've been at it for like, 20 or 21 weeks now!

Eventmom: the horse does seem "prancier" since she get her hooves done! Her feet look so different and pretty. She has been more dusty, so maybe she is rolling around more! I enjoyed that article. Horses are pretty cool animals! We did do a little bonding and training with the horse, but just a few minutes. I think the other lady that showed up is going to try to show up more, she is interested in just being around horses. So I think it'll be good for LB to have a learning partner. We will see how much she's there though since she said it takes her 45 minutes to get here!

I wonder if your cold front was the same one that gave us that fog and cold on Sunday morning? It seemed like it passed in the late afternoon for the most part, but it was crazy! I went out to go to the workout room on a bathroom break about 5 something, then at 6 something when the sun came up I couldn't see the mountain on the other side of the valley. When I went out, it felt like it was going to snow. Now we are back to 70ish degrees!!

Oh, we get concrete tomorrow! I am so excited. Let's POUR!!!!

Ebianco: I hope you are having a great week, things are getting resolved for the best, and the stress is starting to lift. I really think you guys need a break. Stinks to be in your nice, resort like house and not feel good. You gotta get you matching your home!!

So there's talk of lockdown coming up very soon. I am not a fan, especially as a business owner. As a homeschooler, it doesn't matter. We will still do school as we always do school. I am hoping that it isn't a complete lockdown like it was last time, we can't do that. Most businesses will not survive a second lockdown. it's kinda tense right now among the business community. Denver has gone to more severe lockdowns, and we know when Denver does something, our county follows like puppies. Scary times.

Bob Harper Yoga... DONE!

I think he called it the Inside Out series? I don't remember. I was surprised the copywrite was 2010, it doesn't seem that long ago this series was all the thing on VF!

I still have the workouts, I remember they all were horribly, dread worthy hard. The Yoga is really good though! My muscles were sore, so I enjoyed it. I skipped some of the "now do 5 pushups" and instead held the poses while he made them do movements. My biceps and triceps were sore, and still are, so the yoga felt good.

Today I will wrap up another week of Bulk with shoulders.

Today is also concrete day! We delayed it from last Wednesday, and we are doing it today. DH has been tweaking the garage this last week and doing modifications, so I am happy to have concrete today because he needs to stop and we need to move on to building again!

We have violin, then we are training the horse, then right away concrete. We will have way too many people, I think. My sister, her husband, her son (who is like, 20), plus DH has a friend from the 'hood, and 2 or 3 guys from "his crew" coming to help. I think we will be sending the "crew" home!!

So I will do shoulders, then probably run to the store for munchies for everyone and get my day going. Busy day.

We are still sleeping in the camper, and I have to say LB and I are enjoying it probably too much

We chat and hang out. She headbuts me and kicks me while she sleeps, but I always call it "kid massage". There's been a few times she talks a word or two, so it's been fun because I had no idea she did that! Cracks me up.

Hope you guys are having a good week! We will enjoy today, that last day in the 70's. 6" of snow is in the forecast for Sunday, and the weather starts getting cooler starting tomorrow. But for today, we will take it and enjoy it!!!

yesterday - barre3 + 20 min kv cardio
today - TA hip 2.5 day 8 - meta dc

well I'm on hold with the pharmacy that screwed me over in July. they are the specialty pharmacy for certain drugs so I don't have a choice about using them. Probably end up paying $700 for something I won't use.

buzzer - glad the horse is doing better. Not sure you can have too many people when you are pouring concrete but congrats on it happening.
