The girls left yesterday to visit their family in Oregon. It's nice and quiet here. We didn't do anything special for New Year's. We usually just watch movies, and that's what we did. We started with The Equalizer and Equalizer 2, then moved on to John Wick. Did you celebrate? Yesterday...

Well I've had a few days to recover from Holiday stress. I pretty much didn't workout at all the 2 weeks before Christmas. I did walk around the lakes one day. I started back working out on the 27th. It was a full body circuit, Sat was back and Shoulders, yesterday was just walk around the...

I'm enjoying my time off. The Christmas tree is not yet up and I haven't cleaned my office either. I am working out everyday though and feel good about that! Today I did GS C&T and my own biceps/shoulders. Yesterday was a fun workout, more like a gym class. Burpee/tuck jump...

I'm off today and tomorrow. My job is so stressful this time of year. I have my 80 hours so I'm taking a couple days off. I hope to get the Christmas tree up today, and clean my office that I have been putting off for weeks. Those are the dates DS is flying also. He has to work Friday as...

I started doing the countdown to New Years challenge on the other platform. It's a nice mix of weights and cardio and so far I am enjoying it. Tomorrow is a rest day as I have a dentist appointment instead. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family. My MIL started her immunotherapy...

I worked out yesteday, an old cardio and abs from the other platform. It was nice to do something. I might ride the peloton after I get the housework done. The girls and I are cleaning the house today. We cancelled the cleaners for this week, and I would like to switch to monthly service...

Yesterday was a lazy day after working until 2:30 am. I went to bed early last night and slept pretty good. I feel so much better today. I'm doing legs today and will probably walk around the lakes afterward. Temps are in the mid 50's for the afternoon. After that I need to rake the leaves...

I'm off today, but need to work tonight. I hate when my night work falls on my off Friday. It happens from time to time though. My boss is recommending me for leadership. That sounds even more stressful to me. It would be more money though. We'll see what happens. We have possible layoffs...

Looks like I've been MIA. Sorry about that. I'm just struggling working out consistently. The stress of potentially losing my job and not sleeping, I just don't have any energy. Yesterday was Muscle Max and today I did legs from the other platform. Wednesday I did full body from the other...

Well it was nice being off for a week, even if we didn't go to the mountains. I've been able to get back on track with my workouts which makes me happy. I've been doing GS for upper body and the other platform for lower body. I plan to stick with those for awhile. Once I can start increasing...

Well DH didn't feel like going to the Condo, and DS1 had to take the girls to and from work on Friday and Saturday. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't go. I still took the time off though. I go back work on Friday, and we have to work Saturday at 6am also. I've been doing much better...

I got in 4 workouts last week and feel great about that. I did a lower body circuit, full body, upperbody and core, and glute day. I also walked 3+ miles 2 days last week. This morning I did GS BSB and another 3+ mile walk around the lakes. I've lost so much strength. The weather is so...

Well I finally worked out today, after being off for at least 3 weeks. I have walked, but no structured workouts. Today was a leg/cardio circuit. The cardio in between each weight exercise was stepups. I have lost so much endurance and strength. I'm sure it will come back pretty quickly...

I'm finally feeling better. The only thing I've managed this week is to walk 3 miles 2 days this week. The temps have been great and it is so pretty walking around the lakes. I plan on starting back with legs tomorrow. I need to get back into my routine. I'm off work today-yayyy. I had...

I'm starting to feel a bit better. I tried walking the past few days just to get some sunshine and fresh air. My walks were shorter than normal because I could feel my lungs struggling. I would like to get back to working out, but just don't have the energy. Still coughing, sneezing...

Enjoy your new car! It's so fun getting a new car. My car has features I don't know about or don't use. One of my kids asked me if it had a heated steering wheel. I said no, but it does. I just don't drive enough to notice/need all the stuff. I've only put on 20K miles in 3 1/2 years, and...

Oh my gosh, your job sounds so stressful. Literally someone's life is in your hands. I have not read any of Peter Attia but it sounds like a good read. I would not recommend metformin due to the terrible side effects. DH is now on ozempic and is able to cutdown on metformin. Hopefully he...

It's been great so far up here at our Condo. I've walked 9 miles 3 days and 8 miles one day. I usually start my day with a 6-7 mile walk along the reservoir. It is so nice and the temps are in the 70's. DS1 has been up here with us which is nice. I have someone do to things with. We went...

Hey Beth!! My job has been so stressful, many long days and not sleeping well. I tend to wake up between 12-2 and am up for a couple hours most nights. My workouts have been hit or miss. Getting 3 to 4 workouts each week. My company may be laying off folks so I'm stressed about that too...

I had dr. appts on Mon/Tues. Wednesday I walked around the lakes in the morning. It was so beautiful. Yesterday I did circuit workout. I've really been feeling like getting more cardio, so the circuits work well for me. I have weights planned for this weekend. I want to give Iron another...
