Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2024

Hi,

Walk outside today. It was nice.

Debbie - sounds like you had an amazing weekend. Glad you had fun. I need to look it up. Yes, I would understand all the signed and traditions.

Cookie - hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Eldest ds came for a visit and then we got in a long hilly walk. My sciatica is whispering to me. So far, it is only a whisper, so I'm trying to be careful before it decides to start screaming!

Deb, yes it is very dry. It is quite worrisome, but it did seem to make the foliage more intense. Glad you had such a nice, relaxing time. Did you see Kaaterskill Falls or Olana?

Belinda, great idea taking a walk. We have to enjoy this weather while we can!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, a beautiful day. I bought tomatoes at the Farmer's Market and made a marinara sauce. It was too much work LOL, using the canned tomatoes is so much easier.

Belinda - Happy you enjoyed your walk outside. Does the brace help with outside walks? Have you heard anything about how the RV is coming along?

Cookie - I hope your sciatica doesn't act up. The falls we go to are hidden but it's funny, because they now put up signs. For years we would just have to go by memory. I wouldn't mind seeing those falls. DH did get a Kaaterskill beer at the brewery/pizza place we stopped at. I didn't realize it was named after a town.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

JS Week 2 Upper Body plus stretch is done.

Debbie - great job on your walk yesterday. Making sauce from scratch is a lot of work, so worth it. The RV is still in the shop, they working on the doors by the bunk beds.

Cookie - I hope your sciatica isn’t getting any worse. Glad you listen to your body. I hope to get a walk in today.

I will be back later.
 
'Evening! Managed to squeeze in two walks today. Trying to take advantage of daylight while we can. Of course, that will definitely start getting much harder soon. Later this week I can't get some in due to work. If it didn't pay for my vacations, I would probably retire.

Deb, making sauce from scratch is a lot of work! You're so good at doing it. My dh loves checking out beers from different areas. He says he's on a quest for the world's best porter and stout.

Belinda, I also wondering if the brace helps your knee. I'm trying to squeeze in stretching as often as possible, hoping that helps the sciatica. Any idea when the rv might be ready for your next adventure?
 
I took a walk outside yesterday and today.

Debbie - The brace is helping, my bones are not rubbing. The only problem I have the brace is ripping on my skin. I have marks. I had to take it off for a few days until my skin heals.

Cookie - I been stretching daily to make sure I stay flexible around my joins. My range of motion is getting better on my shoulder too. Still have problems. As far as the RV goes, we should if all goes well can pick it up first week of November. We don’t want to rush them, we waited so long what is a few days? The building a door for the bunk beds, they have to reconstruct the frame to make the doors fit. Then they have to fix all the carpentry and paint what they missed in the first place. They still have a lot of work to do. We getting every other day and update letting us know what exactly they do and where the RV is.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & killer legs. The kids dropped off Penne tonight. They go to the hospital early tomorrow morning, I should know by mid-morning about the new Grandbaby.

I'm thinking about signing up for Live since Cathe is offering a flash sale.

Belinda - Great work with JS upper body & stretch. Good to hear the RV is coming along. It's good the brace is helping but sorry about the skin issues.

Cookie - Good getting in your walks when you can. I like the extra hour of sleep this weekend, but so sad it gets dark early for a few months:(

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I had physical therapy for my neck/shoulder/biceps/ knees this morning. I did JS Strengthen: Lower Body, really liked it. It was Push/Pull set #1 quadriceps + hamstring. Set 2: Glutes + Hip Fexors, Set #3 Adductors + Abductors, on the end she did a nice cool down/mobility. I also added 10 total body mobility.

I am scheduled for laser surgery for cataracts. Nov, 11 I am scheduled for pre op.

Debbie - great job on your walk and Killer Legs. I hope the delivery went well today. Keep us posted.

Cookie - hope you doing well.

I am getting ready for a walk. BBl
 
'Evening! Walk and talk with my friend today, and then another one w/dh.

Deb, you must be so excited! Can't wait to hear. Hoping all goes well.

Belinda, I wonder if Body Glide might help with your brace rubbing against your skin. Have you ever tried it? It works good for anti-chaffing. Nice job on those workouts!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & an upper body at they gym.

It's a boy!! Mom, Dad & baby are doing well. We are going up to the hospital tomorrow morning. She gave birth in NYC because she works for a hospital there.

Belinda - Wow you did lots of workouts, I'm sure the physical therapy is a workout! It sounds like they are covering everything. I heard sometimes you don't need glasses after cataract surgery.

Cookie - Lots of walks for you, can't beat this weather:) I'll be a little nervous holding the baby. In pictures my son was wearing a mask. I guess it is required in hospitals.

Goodnight:)
 
i,

SBF Core plus JS Fusion Core with the small ball. I really enjoy her workouts.


Yes, I am not lifting super heavy. Instead of breaking my body down, she is building it up. Her workouts just feel better on my body. The focus with her program is to lean your body out. In addition to the muscle building work she does, she also include other elements that are important to a well rounded program, including power training, balance and agility work, mobility and recovery sessions, along with more light to moderate cardio options as well as high intensity interval training offerings.

Tomorrow is my DD’s birthday. Her and I will go to a salt cave for a spa treatment. Afterwards we having lunch at a vegan restaurant she really likes.

Debbie - nice job on your walk and UB at the gym. I watched a video on YT about cataracts surgery. I hope I will see clear after surgery too. Congratulations on your new grandchil.

Cookie - nice job on the 2 walks. I will look into the Body Glide. I try anything at this point. Never heard of this. I will get some. I have really soft skin, everything irritates me.

Have a great Wednesday.
 
Beautiful weather, and enjoyed it with a walk. No time for any extra workouts today.

Deb, congratulations!!! So happy and excited for you. Glad everyone is doing well. Bet you can't wait to hold the little guy. Your muscle memory from holding your boys will kick right in.

Belinda, nice that you're enjoying JS's workouts. Happy birthday to your dd, but as the mother it really is you who should be celebrated. The salt cave sounds intriguing.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside with Penne. We went to the hospital to see the baby, it was amazing. The traffic was the only bad part, I don't think I could ever drive in NYC.

Thank you for the baby wishes:)

Belinda - I love doing core with the small ball, sounds like ideal workouts. I agree with Cookie the Salt Cave sounds so interesting, have fun! Happy Birthday to DD too.

Cookie - Really nice day for a walk. I needed to change my clothes to summery clothes and it 's a good thing the hospital was warm. I was nervous to hold the baby, but everyone talked me into it and glad I did.

Goodnight:)
 
Hilly walk on a beautiful day! No trick or treaters yet, so I'm thinking this may be another year without any. Also got in an abs and hip workout.

Deb, I'm so excited for you and your family. The time goes by so quickly, but I'm sure you'll take lots of photos. Our son and dil gave us a Frameo, so we can share photos. I often find my dh standing there just gazing at all the photos and how quickly she has grown and changed. Is Penne a good walker? I have a dog that is more of an explorer and another is a decent walker.

Belinda, hope you and your dd are enjoying her day. How's the salt cave? Looking forward to hearing about it. Happy birthday to your dd!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, it was actually hot but won't be saying that soon. I also did Cathe Lower body blast. We seemed to get older kids middle school & high school. I think most of the young one's do parties & trunk & treat.

Belinda - I'm sure you & DD are having a lovely day.

Cookie - The photo frame sounds great, I'm sure my DH would love watching it. Penne is an explorer especially on the hills, she is much better on the downhill. I do still have a lot of candy leftover but not as much as previous years.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

II am up early to get my workout in before PT. I did JS TB. We had so much fun with DD yesterday. The massage was one of the best I ever had. Very princely but she worked on my knots in my shoulder. The salt cave was very relaxing. The owner said the salt cave for 45 min is like being on the beach for 4 days. I knew the beach was always good for me, lol. It cleared my sinus.

I did managed to get a stretch in last night.

Debbie - thank you for the birthday wishes for DD. We had a lot of fun. Great job on your walk. It was very nice outside yesterday.

Cookie - thank you for the birthday wishes for DD. We had a blast. The salt cave was amazing. Highly recommend if you have one near by. Here is the link https://www.bethesdasaltcave.com/

I have to get ready for my PT. I will be back later.
 
'Evening! Quick check in before a hockey game. Got in a different walk today with lots of hills. Also did Essentrics and a short arm workout. Can you tell I played hookey from work this afternoon?

Deb, yes, the weather has been terrific and so smart to enjoy it while it is here. How's everything with the new family?

Belinda, thanks for the info on the salt cave. I will check it out. The ocean's salt air always helps my sinuses too. Lately I've been taking an oil of oregano and a grapefruit seed extract pill every day, and they have helped my sinuses immensely!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & a total body workout at the gym. We are going to dinner for our Anniversary which was yesterday.

Belinda - The spa day sounds like it was so much fun & relaxing. Was the salt cave the pink himalayan salt? Great job with JS tb, good luck at PT.

Cookie - I'm sure it will be worth it to play hookey, you got lots in too. The new parents are doing well but said all the baby does is sleep, poop & cry. My DH said welcome to parenthood.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Walk outside and Lower body stretch today.

Debbie - great job on your walk and TB workout at the gym. Happy Anniversary!! I believe it was himalaya salt.

Cookie - I always feel better at the beach. Not just for my sinus, lol. Great job on your walk and arm workout.

Have a great weekend.
