I got 6 workouts in last week-4 cardio and 2 total body. Yesterday I walked and didn't feel like a total body, so did a 40 minute no repeat cardio. It felt good! Today I feel like legs so will do that and a walk. Our cold spell is supposed to snap today-we've been in the polar vortex. DH is...

Well, my hand/wrist/arm is finally better! I had cut my index finger on top of the wrist problem and have finally turned the corner on that healing as well. I've been doing walks (weather permitting) with the weight vest, total body weights, and abs. For some reason, I just started feeling...

Well, I thought my left hand/wrist/arm were getting better! I have been in rest mode since Monday. Something is not right and I'm afraid to try weights. I wish I could pinpoint which exercise hurt me. I have no idea now what to even attempt to do. There's so much wetness outside so I'm...

I would love to have some indoor cardio options beyond low impact moves. I actually purchased an indoor bike trainer on facebook marketplace, but it was a bust. It did not have the connector piece-just the front tire holder and the back wheel thing. There was no cord to control tension. Oh...

Well, I've done something to my hand/grip on my left. It hurts to pick things up. So frustrated! I wish I could tell what it's from-pushup variation? weights? Shuffling cards on Monday wasn't fun either. I haven't done much with it the past two days and have a total body on tap for later...

We watched football games on New Year's Eve! DH loves college football so we activated a one week free trial of FUBO just for that. We had a fire and it was relaxing. Glad you're adapting to your foot and getting some leg work in. I'm never going to be able to do high impact again with my...

Hello! Sorry I've been MIA. It sounds like you are in a great place mentally! I'm so glad you have decided to embrace yourself at whatever weight you are. Feeling healthy and not fighting is a great mindset. Plus, now you can get rid of any clothes with snaps and shot for new ones! You...

You are doing what you can with your toe healing! I'm sure as time goes by you'll be healed up nicely. Everything takes longer to heal the older I get. Having a snow day here in PA-all the schools are closed and it's an icy, slushy, snowy mess right now. I've been baking a pumpkin coffee cake...

Hello! I've been MIA at work. It is my two week walk in rotation and my manager through in a 4 hour CPR training on one of my days off. Tomorrow is 7-7 and then I just have Friday to get through before I'm back to my regular schedule. We are planning just a special dinner for Xmas. No...

All is well here. We have been watching ALL the soccer. It's been great! Thanksgiving was just DH, DS1 and myself. I made just our favorites and it was perfect. Book club is at my house tomorrow night so I've been cleaning and decorating in between walks, workouts, and soccer. Your...

Hi! Don't worry too much about working out. Your body is expending energy trying to heal. How is the swelling? At least it's a good time of the year to be "down"-too cold to walk here. Only 3 more weeks with the cast! I've had a good week. Friday night I went out to dinner with a bunch...

You tube is amazing! I'm glad you found some workouts on it. I've also been listening to podcast like videos after I workout that are on you tube. Is your basement remodel almost done? It sounds like it'll be a great space to workout and hangout in. Where is your office these days? Your...

Hey! I went to the pool on Wednesday night after work. I did a 30 minute interval workout and it felt great. So refreshing to get back in the water. I'm hoping to do it weekly until it gets nice out again. I had my mammogram, dexascan, dermatology skin check, and semi annual dental...

I am up early this week-must be a time change result. I'm glad to hear your MIL is home! When I've been in a boot, I couldn't do the bike. Let me know how the rower goes. I just did arms and abs and pushups. When I finally did get out of the boot I did a lot in the pool for all the little...

Your body is working hard to get repaired. Don't worry about working out! This is probably a good time to get the work done downstairs so you are not tempted. Sounds like DH is a good help! Not much going on here. Next week is my health week-mammogram, dexascan, dentist, and dermatology...

Hi! How is recovery going? Are you able to do any sitting or lying exercises? Do you have to wear a cast? Are you using crutches? I've been thinking about you and hope all is going well. This weekend was all about getting ready for winter around here. We cleaned the gutters, put the back...

Hi! I am not going to get any more dvd's and downloading did not work out as well as I'd hoped. I'm sticking with youtube for now. Good luck with your surgery! I will be sending good vibes to CO on Wednesday, for sure! Beth

Hello. I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. There are so many things people don't think they can manage, but then once it's more familiar and just part of the day, it's ok. Hopefully they can get all the tumors out and she fares well. I had a great time in England. Seeing DS2 was the best...

Hi! Weekend busy getting ready for our trip on Thursday! I would have loved to get picked for jury duty-but I can understand why you wouldn't want to-what a sad case. Times I've been non weight bearing I used my step a lot for upper body. Plus you can do some abs. It'll be fine. Drink a lot...

I've been working out and walking this weekend. Plus, soccer has been on to watch. Other than that, just regular chores and reading. Talked with DS2 yesterday and I think he's finally getting his own cell phone plan! Cutting the cord a little more. We are all psyched for the trip-leaving...
