    Hello from the frozen tundra! We got about 15 inches that day, then it looks like everyone saw the ground blizzard from all the wind on the national news, and then a couple more inches, so still all frozen out there and still about 17 inches. The side roads are awful even a week after, ugh...

    Hi all, we did a bike ride sunday in 30 mph winds! It was nice getting out since we were between weather systems. Today we have a foot of snow and it's still snowing, estimate is to get 14 inches! So, since Ronne made me think about what working out I'll do for the winter when we can't ride...

    We did a long ride yesterday, it was wonderful, and best of all, I felt good! Maybe baby Kiera had something to do with it? Now we buckle in for some snow. Thanks everyone for the good wishes, I'm committed to keeping them flowing! Jody, I can plan WDW for minimal waits too.....as one that...

    Hi ladies! My clothes are fitting so loose! Whoopee! There's times it's been tough but for the most part I'm good with the eating (or um not eating when fasting). I swear my skin feels better too. 10 more lbs and I'll be happy. I found a website I like that takes into account your age/sex...

    No workouts to report, been at the hospital the last couple of days, with my sis, sigh. Surgery on her knee (torn miniscous, I know spelling is wrong too tired to look it up). Took ALL day waiting for surgery, waited 7 hrs! Made us come in early then they got behind? Then because she has...

    Getting in a lot of bike rides, such beautiful weather we are having! Body is acclimating to the lowered carbs (and even no carbs before the brutal ride today). Our terrain is perfect for intervals, or that's what I tell myself at every hill! I did lose a couple of lbs and 1/2 inch on waist and...

    Jody, are you going to join me in this eating plan? I’m managing 18 to 19 hr fasts with just 2 meals, but when we cycle I’ll have to add a meal and a couple of hrs to the eating window. I had such great results with ACV I thought I’d give it a try, especially since I know I’m sensitive to...

    I decided to start my low weights version of sts, so did ch, sh, bi. I skipped most of the push-ups, subbed some bench press. I also remembered that some shoulder exercises is easier if I do 1 arm at a time so I basically only did half of those. Better than nothing! I also did core max #1. I...

    HA! I'm back again! So, neck got a little stiff last night, that''s ok, what's a bit more irritating, my shoulder blade pain spot (massage and I call it my special spot) was on the verge of being a not good pain and irritating. It's the spot I first felt pain when my neck went out, so I think...

    Jody, YES on the side effects! DH was worse than me. His arm hurt more than mine but I put the heating pad on it all night the first night so I think that helped me. We both had the chills, I thought it was just the house was cold. We piled on the quilts, I had a headache so took advil and...

    hi ladies, I forgot to checkin this week. I was a bit under the weather, we got our first shingrix shot, oh the side effects? we still managed to cycle a bit on both side effect days (12 and 10 miles) and then 22 miles before windy weather came. It's going to be blustery for the next few...

    Ronne, sounds like a fabulous time! Quiet time is needed for recharging, especially for introverts (I’m one of those). I finally recovered physically and recharged emotionally from my busy week and weekend. Mary, you’re such a nice person, not sure I would do that. I keep thinking how much...

    Jody, that might be our generations definition of babymoon but it isn’t the definition for millennials! I was so sore after my hike, feels like the worst days after the worst cathe leg day. I don’t enjoy that feeling anymore!
