Hi Bopper! Came home tonight, decided to try turning on my computer before calling Dell and VOILA, it turned on and all seems well. Have no idea what happened but I'm grateful it's up and running.

Hope everyone has a good evening!

Happy Wednesday! I will be Bodygyming tonight and then dragging myself back to the gym first thing tomorrow for Ride. Or I may possibly think about Pound tonight. They have a new class at 7:30pm which I might (probably not) think about going to instead of my normal Friday run.

@JudyL I can't wait to hear what you think about NYC. It sounds like you and your daughter picked opposite ends of the city but I think most of the enjoyment of NYC is just being there. I have not been able to bring myself to visit the 9-11 memorial yet but it's in the same area as Wall Street and Battery Park so if you want to walk a few blocks, you can see the bull and take a glimpse out at Lady Liberty and Ellis Island even if you don't hop the ferry over. And if you and your daughter are chocolate fans at all, when you hit Times Square, M&M's and Hersheys are across from each other. Enjoy the sugar rush!

Hope everyone is having a good week and better weather. We are still steaming at 90 plus down here. Got my water!

Happy June everyone. My husband and I will do a three mile walk later this morning, it is cool here this morning, so it will be nice walking weather!

Hi all and its JUNE! Yikes it's going by way too fast!

CANDLEQUEEN Hello and welcome aboard! I love to walk, try and do it at least 5 times a week ....nice that your hubby goes with too! It's quite cool here 60 but lately lots of rain.

The talk of everyones trips is cool. I live through all of you as we don't ever go anywhere...It's rare for us to even go on a weekend but sometimes we do. I"m not much of a traveler. Seems we get somewhere and I can't wait to go home again.

I'm doing Shred again today. I have a hair appt. at 1 so will do it when I get back. I got all my groceries and a BD gift for my gf so that's done.

Laura I do struggle with the pushups but thank you for the encouragment.

Nomless ANW tonight, I"ll watch it too!

Judy glad the computer issue was nothing major. Mine was super weird too. Took it in and they couldn't find a thing wrong with it ( of course) like when you take your car in and it works fine for the mechanic!

Our week is going to stay cool and quite rainy, like ya'all had earlier in May. Texas is really getting the rain.

Well better get some lunch going here, have a great day everyone!

Hi ladies! I have been missing but have been staying active. I spent most of the Memorial Day weekend putting in my vegetable garden and some hummingbird plants. "The family" is back and middle of last week I noticed one leave the feeder and head to the kitchen garden plot, but nothing was out for him to sample. So I stopped at the nursery and got some perennials and hummingbird attracting annuals. They have been going to the flats to sample even before I got the plants in.

Thankfully my MIrabai Holland level 1 DVDs arrived before I began gardening. The flexibility one in particular is helping my bad back recover after gardening.

Warm hellos to all!

Hi, CandleQueen, nice to meet you.

Judy and Laura, it's fun to read about your planning for trips.

Pilates, enjoy the hummingbirds. I'm glad they like the plants you got.

Hi, Bopper. I'm watching ANW!! 😊

I was busy all day today, all over town doing stuff. I intended to do a workout, but I ran out of time. That doesn't count, does it?

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

JudyL — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 03:20:02 GMT

Nomless - it sounds like you had a busy day running around town so I'm going to say YES!, it does count towards a work out. After all, running around town doing errands and all the little stuff we do, is hard work!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:04:00 GMT

Ride class this morning and BG last night.

@PilatesLover I love birds! Mine are currently being hogs around the feeder. No hummingbirds though. Just the bluejays, cards and other flying creatures and one very frustrated squirrel and a happy cleanup chipmunk.

@nomless Absolutely! I walked all over the mall before I went hiking on Monday. It all counts!

@bopper I am still in awe of your shred program. My family supposedly left today until the 14th so I plan to get my butt in gear next to yours.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

bopper — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:23:44 GMT

Hi all, I didn't get a workout in today. My 88 year old dad had hernia surgery today so that tied me up all day because after he was done and it was out patient, we went back to his house and I stayed with him. He can't be alone for 1 day, tonight my other sister is staying with him. It all went well though, so tonight I will sleep much better.

I saw a new Jari Love dvd coming out I am interested. I have to get back on collagevideo.com again and check out some clips. I am finishing the Shred though. I missed yesterday and today. Very unlikely for me but sometimes things just get in the way. I'll do it tomorrow and start level 2 soon.

I love birds too, have many feeders and a heated bird bath. The thing I don't like is so many red squirrels and they always find a way to my feeders even with baffles on my poles.

Dinner time, hubby just drove up.

Have a good night!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

nomless — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:58:51 GMT

Aw, Bopper,I'm sorry your dad had surgery. Good news that it went OK and that he's back home. I hope his recovery goes well. Prayers for him. Thanks for the info about the Jari Love DVD. I go over to Collage infrequently. I don't like the new site as well as the old one.

Another busy day today, and I missed my workout. Tomkrrow should be better, I'll try to do a long workout.

Laura, it sounds liecyoi'\re ok with family being away and getting some alone time.

Hi Judy and Pilates. Have a good day.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 12:47:36 GMT

@bopper Prayers for your dad although it sounds like he is doing well. Thinking of you today.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

JudyL — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 16:12:53 GMT

Bopper - hope your dad is doing better today. Glad that his surgery went well.

This morning my hip/back was feeling prety good. The last couple of days I've been really good about doing the stretches the doctor gave me. Find an empty office here at work during the day and try and do a couple also. But definitely do them morning and night. Slept through the night last night without waking up because i was in pain. YEA!

This morning I got up and did a 30 minute PiYo workout for the buns and a 10 minute quick ab workout. I like doing the buns workout because I feel it stretches and works the hip, glutes, hamstrings, quads, etc., that I need to stretch and work. Afterwards, my hip/back felt pretty darn good.

Better get ti work! Hope everyone has a good day!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

nomless — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 21:13:07 GMT

Judy, I'm glad you're feeling better and that the stretches seem to be helping. Good job with Piyo.

Hi, Laura, TGIF! Enjoy your weekend.

Bopper, I hope your dad is doing OK today. You've probably spent much of the day with him.

Cardio down today. I watched the Cubs this afternoon. In one inning, two doubles, two hit batters, two errors, and two walks ends up in a bunch of runs for the Cubs. Bad inning for opposing team, that's for sure.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

bopper — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 12:34:20 GMT

Morning, it's raining here. Yesterday was good though. I got in good exercise, with shredding, walking and mowing the grass.

Thank you all for the prayers and concerning my dad. He is doing well thank you so much!

Nomless I don't like the new collage site as much either and dont' visit it often but I had seen a clip on the new Jari Love dvd and wanted to go over there to see it again. It hasn't been released yet.

Judy glad your feeling better, my back is tight this morning...will have to wait a bit to losen it up before I workout. Maybe the weather played a role in that...

Laura are you going walking or a pound class today...I wanted to bike but not this weekend by the sounds of the rain on the roof.

Well time for another cup of coffee! It's that kind of day!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

JudyL — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 14:56:21 GMT

Did a light workout this morning. Probably could have and should have pushed myself a little bit more but oh well, at least I got some exercise in and everything still feels pretty good.

Today I'm driving up to the Wine Country to see a friend. She's having people over for a BBQ and it looks like its going to be 90 or more Ugh. LOL I am not a hot weather person. I'll be finding the shade!

Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 16:09:25 GMT

@JudyL Glad you're feeling better. Enjoy your trip!

@nomless I have a good friend who is a die hard Cubbie. I really think that team is going all the way this year. Lord knows my Phillies aren't so go Cubs!

@bopper Glad to hear your father is doing well. I went to Pound last night. I think I'm done with it. I don't enjoy it anymore and I hate the music. If I can't groove, it's not fun. It's still 90 here so I'm thinking I may go walking tomorrow when it's supposed to cool off to a big 86. I am completely enjoying a real weekend with no aggravation so I'm a little slow getting started but I will get my hike in at some point.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

nomless — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 19:59:19 GMT

Judy, have fun in wine country today. What a great day.

Laura, I'm surprised to hear you're tired of Pound. But you have other things you like. Lots of choices for you.

Hi, Bopper, I hope your dad is getting along ok. Happy weekend.

I did a long cardio session today and weights, too. Good workout. But I have no news, so will keep this short.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

nomless — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 15:06:08 GMT

Cardio and weights done. Yesterday, I was way too light on the weights, so today I spent time today figuring out how heavy I should go on each of the machines. The new machines are terrific.

Now I'm watching ANW All-Stars, the repeat airing. It was on last Sunday evening, unbeknownst to me. Am happy to be able to see it now. Lots of our favorites are competing...the Weatherman, Brent Stevenson, and Kacey, of course.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Laura14 — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 16:07:37 GMT

Hike and lawn care done this morning just before the expected rain.
