    Tom, agreed! Yay Chiefs! During the last 2 minutes, I thought "oh no, Tom must be stressing and cussing at the TV right now!" But they pulled out a win for you! Yep, loved the halftime show. J Lo seriously amazes me. She never ages! Same with Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune lol. Easing my way...

    Giving up on a new Ripped with Hiit from Cathe

    @laurawd I agree with you about Julia. I totally admire HER athleticism, but her workouts are too risky and too extreme for my personal preference. Sydney Cummings is definitely not this way, and very easy to modify to your own desired workout experience to make more advanced or more...

    Tom, sending you McRibs and Twizzlers to help your healing. After all, you gotta stick up on snacks to eat while you watch your team win it all this Sunday! Karen, hello friend. Hope you're not missing FL weather too much. You should've stayed for the Super Bowl! Even if you don't like...

    Tom, great to hear from you, thank you for the update! Hoping that this surgery does the trick for you. Maybe you'll come out of it feeling SO good that you become a cardio junkie???? Lol! Take care and I'm the same way with those pain meds, use sparingly. Karen, good job getting going. I like...

    Did a Bootcamp style workout from Sydney Cummings on YouTube. Karen, I'm behind on my Cathe Live workouts too. She moves so fast and has a lot of high impact stuff. I'll need to build back up to that. Tom, thinking about you. Hope the procedure goes well, all according to plan. Glad for you...

    Aw, Karen @desertambrosia , we love you too! You have been greatly missed but it sounds like you're time "away" was just what you needed. But hey, what's worse, humidity or snow??? So glad you enjoyed some down time and some DH time! You get back to your workouts at your own pace, girl...

    Oh, gross. Ice storms sound awful. It's been dark and dreary here but mostly rain because "too warm" for snow. I'm sorry you're going to be on forced rest but I think you are right that at least your tendonitis might heal up. Plus your level of fitness will probably speed up your healing. Is...

    Tom, my DH just told me that your Chiefs are taking it all the way to the Super Bowl this year. Go team!!!! Yay for you and waiting 50 years for this moment! Hopefully this will offset some of the gloom of your 8 weeks of temporary iron retirement. (But like the Terminator, we all know "you'll...

    Hey Tom, hope you had a good week! Not earning the Iron Woman award over here either, but have gotten in some walks, the lower body I reported earlier, and a bit of upper body. Probably going to go for upper body again tomorrow and then chill until Monday (obviously only referring to workouts...

    Legs and weights done. Did I really like doing this lower body $h!+ before??? Lol, just kidding. Went light and gentle. Lower body DOMS are not welcome right now! Bionic day? Does that mean you're having the hip procedure soon? Okay, makes sense that the football game was with the Texans...

    Tom, at least you got one win! Were the Chiefs playing Houston? My DH was telling me how Houston usually starts out losing and then has to come back late in the game to win it, but that today Houston started strong and died out at the end. He didn't mention who they were playing today though...

    Tom, as per usual you keep on chugging along. Proud of you and happy for you that you got a good burn on Friday arm day! Your weather sounds awful but too bad I can't brag about what's happening here because it's all rain/snow mix and freezing winds. January is such a bummer month. Has college...

    Tennis Elbow anyone??

    Similar to what @snowlover said, I just follow my body's cues. I've found that I have to avoid upper body barbell work because it was killing my elbows, something about the limited range of elbow motion with the barbell. Once I realized that and switched to dumbbells only, haven't had a problem...

    Tom, I think we're both in "do whatever the $#%+ you can mode" right now! Those are some great numbers from yesterday's chest and tris workout, you should definitely be proud, even if it's not happening every day! I've started body weight legs. Keeping it light and still mostly walking since...

    Mat Suggestions

    Got a 2 pack of yoga mats, very thick, sturdy, comfortable from Costco online. Great price too. As good as other mats I've had in the past that were way more expensive. Have also had Gaiam brand mats before. They were good too, but pricey

    inversion table

    My DH and I love our inversion table! I don't know that anyone can say that it "cures" anything, but our experience is that it provides a good stretch and adds to our comfort levels. We purchased a Teeter brand for about $350 on sale at Costco. Costco often has various Teeter versions on sale...

    Your workout plan sounds great, Tom! Those raccoons, not so much! Call an exterminator now!!! Sounds like the raccoons are planning on a family Christmas gathering at your place if you don't! Surgery sucks but at least I hope that gives you some peace of mind and light at the end of the...

    BWT legs and some shoulders sprinkled in as well for funsies! One week countdown to Christmas Eve is on. Every time I drive past our jam packed local mall, I feel relieved that my shopping is done and I can stay far away! Be well today!
