Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

'Evening! Rest day today. I wanted to recover a bit and take it easy, esp. since I have another conference starting tomorrow morning.

Deb, you lucky babysitter! I would love to babysit more often.

Belinda, glad you like your haircut. A fresh style can do so much for how we're feeling. Love the idea of a dyi spa day!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & Cathe Killer legs lower body.

Belinda - It sounds like an awesome weekend. The yoga sounds interesting with the kittens. I love going to little towns, it would be great to live in one. It looks like you may have had an even better weekend then planned:)

Cookie - It's good you recovered and rested as needed:) I was wondering if I'll enjoy babysitting when he is at the terrible "2" stage LOL.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did went for a short walk. I also did CL# 196 Toasted Trisets: Upper Body = 54 min + STS 2 Chair yoga.

Debbie - great job on your walk and Killer Legs lower body. I need to pull that one out this week. I did an amazing weekend. The town DD/BF lives is in the country. They also have a condo in DC. I never thought DD would love living in the country. The town they live in has so much to offer. Love the cute shops and restaurants. We also live in a small town, ours doesn’t have 1/3 what theirs offers.

Cookie - I hope you had a nice rested day yesterday. I love my hair cute. It’s so cute. A new cut does wonders. LOL, we saved a ton of $$ doing our DIY spa day, lol. I still want to go to that place. It looked amazing.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside. I was so tired from getting up early.

Belinda - Great job with your walk, CL# 196 Toasted UB & chair yoga. Is your DD's country home far from your home? It's great you can visit DD in the city and the country. I love visiting cities & country places.

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did a dance live today. Haven’t done a live one in a while. It was all low impact. It was fun. The belly dance workouts are live over zoom now :) At least the instructor can see my form and gives me advice on what not to do with the aneurysm.

Debbie - great job on your walk. Why did you got up early? I must missed it. I hope you got some sleep or rest. Yes, DD country home is far from us. I also love visiting cities and country.

Hi Cookie!

Good night.
 
'Evening! Essentrics today, dinner with my uncle, a sister and some of her friends, dr's appointment, and work!

Deb, folks say it's different when you're the grandparent, you can leave when you're done sitting! Ours is coming up with weekend, so we have to do another run of going thru trying to predict what she may get into.

Belinda, glad you're back into your dance classes - you always have enjoyed them. Just remember, you are supposed to be taking it easy!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & STS 2.0 UB 1. It was nice out and so happy it will stay this way for a few days.

Belinda - You must be so happy the instructor brought back zoom yoga. I'm wondering if a lot of people complained. We babysit on Monday's except holidays and we get up too early.

Cookie - Great job with essentrics. Your Uncle must love having dinner with you and your family/friends. I don't remember worrying about child proofing the house but as a Grandparent it is different.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I went for a walk outside with DH and Sadie. I also did CL# 10 Upper body sculpting. I loved it. It was high reps. Cathe did 3 rounds before she moved on to the next body part. No rushing.

Debbie - great job on your walk and STS 2 UB1. Yeah, my instructor brought back zoom belly dancing for the reasons you mentioned. Babysitting can wear you out.

Cookie - great job o what essentrics.You have such a great relationships with your Uncle and your family. I miss having family around. I am taking it easy. Sitting all day isn’t good either. I was told to prevent blood clots to move as much as possible. I am taking breaks when I need to. Tomorrow I probably will not get a good workout in, I have to see the cardiologist tomorrow.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Did a functional workout today and a walk. Also, this evening, DH and I went on a walking tour of some of the sites where The Gilded Age was filmed in our area. Was interesting.

Deb, I think I've done more childproofing now that I don't have kids than when we had our own. My nieces and nephews were constantly advising me, so most has been done, but there are still everyday objects I need to move and remember to lock the cabinets and reinstall gates. Are you still dogsitting?

Belinda, glad you're taking it "easy" but most folks would still think that is a lot. It's been nice weather for walking. One of the reasons we moved about 9 years ago was to be a little closer to family. We love it.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & zoom yoga. I was outside watering some flowers & moved something and there was a big (size of a football) hornets nest. I went running but luckily they didn't follow me or I didn't get stung. It is at the far end of our deck and have made nests there before but never that big!

Belinda - It sounds like you really enjoyed CL#10 UB sculpting, sounds like a good one. It's good you have a cardiologist appointment tomorrow, hopefully he will feel better after talking with him.

Cookie - Great job with your functional workout & walk. The walking tour of the Guilded Ages sounds interesting. Yes, we are still dogsitting. Today she was very active, even visited our next door neighbor on her deck. She had company, food and her dog was out. I would say she's getting comfortable;)

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I had an echocardiograms this morning. I hope I will get the results soon.

I did a dance workout OnDemand today and stretching. I needed a lower body stretch. I am super tired, I couldn’t sleep last night to save my life. I wasn’t nervous, just couldn’t sleep. I try not to stress. I been enjoying audio books lately. I finished listen to the book this morning while getting ready for my appointment. I already started a new one, lol. Audio books are great waiting at the doctors office.

Debbie - great job on your zoom yoga and walk outside. They are waiting for the results from the echocardiograms today. They still want me to be careful and wait for the Neurosurgeon next month. CL 10 was a lot of fun. Really liked this one. It was an older one.

Cookie - great job on Functional workout yesterday. I almost pulled that one out yesterday. Yeah, for people that sit all day long, it may be too much. Trust me, my HR/BP say low. I just trying to move a little since sometimes I can’t walk outside. It’s either too hot or to cold. That is cool you moved closer to family. I do miss having my kids around. Unfortunately DH’s family are to spread out. Your walk sounds interesting. Who is it with? Never heard of it.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Great weather for walking today. Kids and family are coming in for the weekend, so started getting ready. Tomorrow I need to grocery shop, and boy, it's a lot of food!

Deb, sounds like the dog has become very comfortable with you. How scary about the hornets' nest. Their sting is so painful - thankfully you didn't get stung. How will you get rid of the nest?

Belinda, The filming for the show was mostly done in this area, and the walking tour was in the area where dh and I first met, so it was extra meaningful. I can understand your need to move, just be careful.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk & Cathe Butts & Guts. Well, we decided to buy hornets spray to take care of the nest. DH said I should stay in the house but I didn't. We went outside at dusk and DH sprayed but they came out and stung us. DH was stung 5 times and I was stung twice. It is painful, poor DH was stung behind the ear. We took Benadryl, hopefully it works. Luckily we aren't allergic but my younger ds is.

Belinda - Hopefully you get the results soon. Great job with your dance workout. A lot of people at book club love audio books as well as one of my SILs. I have never tried one. I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.

Cookie - Great job with your walk. I can't imagine all the planning that must go into having guests lots of weekends. It will be worth it for you to get together. How exciting the filming was near where you 1st met DH.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today was a nice walk outside. That’s it.

Debbie - great job with your walk and Butts & Guts Yikes on the hornets. You need to get a professional to take care of them. Sorry you both got stung:( I love reading a physical book. With my eyesight being off, audio books are the best thing. I actually love having both options. It’s a fun way to keep up with books that are interesting and I am leaning at the same time. I am listening to books about heath. It’s very cool, that anyone can borrow and read from your local library. Most libraries offer online books. You have to have a library card in order to check out books online/audiobooks. They also have every new magazine you can imagine. It’s really cool. It’s all free. I did get a good night sleep.

Cookie - no wonder it’s so extra meaningful to you both. Sounds like a very nice place. I would love having family so close. I always had family around me, until we moved here.We don’t plan on moving soon.Maybe next year. We all still looking for property. DH and I plan on designing our own house. We have a 3 story house. We don’t want anymore stairs, we are getting older, lol

Good night.
 
'Evening! A walk today. Hoping the weather improves for the weekend. Today was drizzly, but we do need rain.

Deb, hope you're both okay from the hornets. Is the Benadryl helping? I actually keep spreadsheets to remember who likes what, what we served and done, ... My dh laughs at it, but relies on me being organized and things running (mostly) smoothly.

Belinda, I do like having family near by. Three of my siblings live in other parts of the country, but the others are within about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes away. A couple of my sisters live less than 10 minutes away, and so do all their children. Esp. since most of my kids don't live nearby, it is fun to have the younger ones around. I hear you on the stairs!
 
Hi,

Today was a long walk outside. We still have red/swollen spots where we were stung. The Benadryl is helping. It looks like they are gone. You can see why DH & I are not DIYers LOL.

Belinda - Great job with your walk. I didn't realize you can check-out magazines as well. I have checked out hardcover books, but haven't checked out online or audio books. Do you use a kindle or ipad?

Cookie - We didn't have rain and need it too, most lawns are dying. Our neighbor across the street have the perfect green lawn. Any landscaping company they have hired stay hours but it does show with a beautiful lawn and landscaping. Great idea with the spreadsheets.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I went for a walk outside today.

Debbie - great job on your walk. Sorry you still have red/swollen spots. I use my iPad to read and iPhone. Check your library about for magazines and books. It’s fun.

Cookie - nice job on your walk. Sorry it drizzled. We got beautiful weather, no rain. I am happy for you having your family old and young around. Family are the best.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & some leg exercises. We had a BBQ at my SILs house, it was fun.

Belinda - Great job on your walk. Thank you, I will check it out:)

Cookie - Have fun with your visitors this weekend.

Goodnight:)
