Yesterday, I was in the mood for vintage and tried an old Kathy Smith workout on YouTube. I made it about ten minutes and Joni O'd it. I did a Body Project that was much better.
I'm seeing a lot of hummingbirds around the complex, but only a few make it to my patio in the back. I tied red ribbons to help them find the feeder. The past few days have not been good for various reasons. I'm very cranky. (I need to put in a "Cranky Alta" avatar for times like this!)

Manleym…thanks for the kind words.
Bee… so glad to hear the trip went well. I love that a professor was so supportive and influential in your son‘s life. How awesome! VVfer… I saw a post that there’s a new TBP workout on YouTube. Did you try that one yet? Started with Cathe’s Boss Bands premix that included upper body and core. Then I added on a Fleetwood Mac music only cycling class. Sooooo much fun! Reminded me of my high school and college years—saw them live in concert several times. Loved everything about this ride. Landslide always gets me especially with my current changes and challenges in life. Happy Tuesday! |

bee - back and safe! Yay!
Chele - Thanks for the heads up about the new TBP workout. Alex is not a favorite She's hard to hear and her cueing isn't that great. Need more Daniel. Yesterday, I did Spinervals Flexible Warrior Foam Roll routine. Always a good choice! I looked outside and saw a lot of activity at the hummingbird feeder. Unfortunately, it was not hummingbirds, it was ants! Having a really low tolerance for frustration I got mad. I read that if you get ants, put vaseline on the pole that holds the feeder. So I did that. I even considered giving up on the whole thing as I was filling the ant moat. Next thing you know, a little brown hummer fed at the feeder about 2 feet from my face. He was so precious! Do you think it was a sign to not give up?

HI gals, remember me? Crazy couple of weeks. Now hubby has Hep C so appointments to get that treated. Then last Thurs 12th we had a super severe thunderstorm that not only knocked out power for 24 hours, but it knocked down 3 big pine trees and ripped all the siding off the back of my garage! Waiting for the insurance guy to come tomorrow. The damage around my area was really bad! My poor neighbor lost several huge trees. Some snapped right off, some ripped right out of the ground! They said potential 100mph winds.
I think that was it. We have many hummers and tons of Orioles! But we took most of our feeders in because Avian Flu is so bad in MN and they recommend not having crowds of birds. My husband loves his birds! Lots of great workouts you guys!!! I've been working through Epic 1 still. I have found that combining the day's specific workout with one of Caroline's 20 minute workouts has been GREAT! For instance, today I did Day 17 Leg Workout Lunges paired with Lots of Lunges 20 Min Workout. I have found excellent pairings with similar body parts. I even went heavier that CG!!! She used 22lbs, I used my 25s! First time I've gone heavier than her! Yesterday was Day 15 Dumbell Back and Biceps that I paired with 20 Min DB Back and Biceps. See what I mean. Thanks you guys for the CG recommendation!!! I never thought I'd get into cueless workouts, but it's just fine and the variety of moves is fantastic! And she goes heavy!! Yay! kittybug: Yes I occasionally do a round of bodyweight workouts from time to time, just to switch things up. I don't think I lost any strength and it gave my knees a break. manleym: Yes I notice CG color coordinates! The Iron workouts sound amazing! I'll have content to work from for ages with Caroline! Gotta run but hope to check in a little more often. I hope. HUGS

Oh Kate, what a storm that was! I'm sorry you had so much damage, and hubby has hep c! As if you didn't already have your hands FULL! I'm amazed you are combining Caroline's workouts and especially amazed at going heavier! Fierce Kate!!
Oh, this morning I did remember that I had previously noticed the titles she uses match with her outfits. Actually, I remember noticing it one day and wondering if that was on purpose. That's me -- not always observant! Vintage, for sure that hummingbird was a sign that you should keep it going. We have some natural ant spray we use -- not harmful to pets. It smells pretty bad in the house but outside it should be ok. If the vaseline doesn't work -- that sounds pretty clever. Chele, manleym is so right -- you look great in the photo! Fleetwood Mac takes me back to high school, too! This morning I woke up super early and had plenty of time to do Iron 23 -- all gluten and hamstrings. Chele, it probably would have bored you to tears. It was all basically deadlifts and hip thrusts. Different variations for 35 minutes, basically. I was definitely fatiguing toward the end but I don't really feel like I will be sore. We'll see. I did a PCR test yesterday for work. I'm really curious to see if maybe I picked up covid with the traveling. I'm nervous since they talk about how easily this new variant spreads. Seems like there is a small-ish outbreak here at the school. Fingers crossed.....
