Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2024

Hi,

Today was a short walk on the beach. We ran errands and had a nice lunch out. It’s been sad hearing some of the hurricane stories. Some small businesses are suffering.

Belinda - I’m sure your having a nice time for DH’s birthday.

Cookie - It sounds like you had a nice day with DS and Tito. It’s amazing the beaches aren’t too bad. The exception is the sea oats/plants have died. That helped with the prevention of beach erosion. Hopefully they will replant it was pretty too.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Thank you for DH birthday wishes. We had a wonderful day yesterday. DD/BF came and spend the day with us. Got in a lot of steps yesterday.

Today I did JS TB tempo plus SBF stretch.

Tomorrow I have 2 PT appointments plus another appointment in the afternoon. I hope I get at least a walk in/stretch.

Have any of you done a professional teeth whitening? I had one done today at my Ortho office. Nobody tells you have to stay way from anything that can stain your teeth like raspberry, blueberries, coffee or tee for 3 day‘s. I will survive.

Debbie - walking on the beach sounds lovely. So sad what the hurricane. My heart goes out to everyone.

Cookie - nothing better than spending your Sunday with loved ones.

Great job on your workouts everyone.
 
'Evening! Lower body and core today. Met a friend for lunch, which was a very nice break! Run into grocery store on way home and ran into another friend. A great day!

Deb, it must be so especially hard on the small business owners. That is surprising that the beaches aren't too bad. Guess those erosion efforts were working.

Belinda, glad it was a nice day for your dh. Busy day for you. I asked my dentist about it, but she said I didn't need it. Suggested using a small amount of baking power as a very light abrasive cleaner. I was happy to hear her idea and it saved me money.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the beach. We met with the contractor he wants to cut out the bottom of the walls and floor molding and replace. We didn’t think it needed it but we trust him and for mold reasons think it’s what should be done. Needless to say DH is having thoughts of selling.

Belinda - Great job with JS TB tempo plus stretch. I haven’t tried whitening but have thought about it. I bought an at home kit on QVC but haven’t used yet. I guess the tea & cofee would be tough. I recently read using the electrolyte powder mixed with water gives you energy.

Cookie - Great job with lower body & core. It’s so much fun having lunch with a friend & lucky running into another later on.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Long day today. I had my Body Composition Testing done.They used a Bod Pod for the testing. Looks like you sitting inside a giant egg, lol She went over my numbers, made a few recommendations on how to add more protein. I lost another 2 pounds since my infusion. Since I got off all the prednisone, the weight is coming off. I will get the Metabolic testing on the end of this month. It‘s a program that was offered to me, I jumped on it. Kinda interesting!

I did SBF Upper abs. I also got a walk in between appointments. I had an hour gap.

Debbie - great job on your walk. Yikes, on what the contractor wants to do. Sorry you going through this. I heard a lot of people after the hurricane are selling in Fl. Maybe I should buy, lol

Cookie - I was told not to use baking powder on my teeth. My teeth are still a little sensitive from Invisalign. My teeth feel fine today. I think she got a little on my gums, which fired up my teeth. Nice job on your lower body and core.

I am tired. I will be back tomorrow. Good night.
 
'Evening! Managed to get in a walk and talk with friend during lunch. Had dinner with my uncle and a sister which was fun. Started a list for Thanksgiving prep and shopping!

Deb, it probably is best to be safe, and especially so with mold. What are you thoughts on selling v keeping?

Belinda, the body comp test sounds interesting. Are you trying to lose weight or is it coming off because now you're not on prednisone?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the beach & time spent on the beach. The cableguy came and fixed our cable unknown to us the workers working on the balcony cut the wire. Than we were reprimanded because we put some chairs on the balcony. We thought since the balconies are now open clear of wood panels and open it was allowed. Apparently we could be fined:mad: DH was not happy, rather than be too negative I will answer some of your questions each day LOL.

Belinda - The program sounds interesting and fun facts. Kudos on getting in a walk & SBF upper body. It’s crazy how some medications can put on weight, great that it is coming off.

Cookie - Sounds like you got a lot accomplished. Walks seem to go by so quickly when talking with a friend. I need to put a list together for Thanksgiving too.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Today I did JS UB Push Pull SS. I also did 30 min stretch afterwards. I will go for a walk soon.

Debbie - sorry about the cable and chairs. Yikes your HOA is strickt. I don‘t blame your husband not being happy. Sorry about all that. I hope all goes smoothly. Great job on the walk on the beach. Yeah, prednisone will cause weight gain. I am glad it finally is coming off.

Cookie - you are lucky having a friend to talk too while going for your walk. Sadie doesn‘t talk to me, lol. I never had any of those testing done before. My doctor recommended it to me. I am struggling with my weight since being on high doses of prednisone. I took it for over 4 years, never went off. Yes, I am trying to loose the weight I gained. I workout until the cows come home, it just didn‘t show my hard work. The program I am taking she thinks I am not getting enough protein. I will try to up it and see what is happening.

I will try to be back later.
 
'evening! Got in a walk today. Also did a JS walk w/Cathe weighted vest. I hadn't used it in a very long time and wanted to try it out again.

Deb, that must have been very aggravating. And then that the cable guys cut the cable! Hope the walk on the beach was relaxing.

Belinda, I hear you on the prednisone and cortisone's. I take it and between it and menopause weight just doesn't move. I'm trying to reduce one steroid med but it all takes a long time.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the beach. We spent the day on the beach which was nice. Yes it does seem like people are moving or thinking about not living near the water. DH has thoughts about selling, we have to start weighing whether it is cost vs. time we spend here. There is one problem, older DS’s GF was given a big promotion to run an office in the Tampa area in the Spring. They are discussing if DS will move with her. So that will be a factor in our decision to sell.

Belinda - Great job with JS upper body, stretch and walk. Do the Dr.’s think you can stay off of prednisone.

Cookie - Great job with JS walk. I haven’t used the weighted vest in awhile. A neighbor told me she walks with weights in a backpack for a challenge.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did JS Strengthen: Lower Body (Slow and Low). Some of these exercises my PT have me doing to strengthen my knees. I also did shoulder mobility with SBF.

Debbie - great job on the walk on the beach. That would be great if your DS and GF would move in your condo. People do have to work in Fl. Prednisone works fast compared to anything else. They are trying to prevent a collapsed nose, cauliflower ear or even worst collapsed/damage to trachea. I just had a zoom meeting with UPenn for RP. Unfortunately we can‘t stay away from it. It‘s probably the same with Cookie. We have no choice but to take it when we in a bad flair. My doctor hopes one day I am in remission.

Cookie - prednisone and cortisone's are the worse for the body. I am sure you going through similar things with this your meds as we all do. It will take a long time for the weight to come off. Once you off the prednisone the weight will come off slow but steady. I hate taking it and being on that stuff. It caused so much health problems. Instead of prednisone my doctor added another medicine. They all have very bad side effect.

Have a great evening.
 
'Evening! Walk today and some Essentrics. Decided to go visit ds in Spain the beginning of December for 10 days, so I'm really looking forward to that!

Deb, so fortunate to have a day at the beach! Lovely! The condo is a big decision, and I'm sure there are a lot of emotions with it. I can't imagine. We have endless discussions about cars - can't imagine housing.

Belinda, yes, we are going thru similiar issues. I'm very thankful to be as healthy as I am and intend to stay that way or even healthier if I can.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the beach. DH is fighting a cold & I feel it coming on. I guess with everything going on we are susceptible.

Belinda - Great job with JS lower body, PT exercises & SBF shoulder mobility. You have lots of energy. DS would move to an apartment around Tampa which is 45 minutes from us, but keeping the condo we would have a place to stay when we visit.

Cookie - Great job with walk & Essentrics. Visiting DS in Spain sounds great. I wonder if they have Christmas decorations/set-ups?

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I did JS Core Strength and Stretch with the gliders = 30 min. She also did some shoulder mobility on the floor with the disc, very tough on my left arm/shoulder. I really liked the exercises. Than I did yoga for 30 min for the lower body. I am all stretched out. I am done with JS week 4 for this week. I probably will walk or stretch the next 2 day‘s.

Debbie - great job on the walk on the beach. I am so jealous :) There is something going around. I hope you both feel better soon. That would be a long drive for your DS. How long do you own the condo? Yes, you would have a place to stay when you visit. Lots to think about. Feel better.

Cookie - I am thankful every day for the things I still can do. Fantastic job with the walk & Essentrics. Visiting your DS in Spain sounds amazing. I would love to go to Spain during Christmas.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the beach. I am not feeling well today, I will make this short.

Belinda - Glide workout sounds like fun:), I haven’t done in awhile. We own the condo for 5 years. My in-laws bought it 40 years ago and we bought from them 5 years ago.

Cookie - Have a great weekend:)

Goodnight:)
 
'Morning! Yesterday did JS tb splits and a walk. Meeting one of my sisters today and visiting craft shows, and then a hockey game this evening. Going to get in a core workout in a few minutes.

Deb, hope you both are feeling better soon and the stress probably has lowered your immunity.

Belinda, my workout yesterday also used gliders! Bet your body loves all that stretching.
 
Good morning,

I did yoga plus PT exercises. I will go for a walk late

Debbie - I hope you/DH feels better soon. Good point maybe the stress lowering your immunity. Get some rest. I‘ll bet the market buying a house in Fl is good at the moment. I should look into it before the market goes up again.

Cookie - nicely done on the JS TB Splits and walk. Have fun with your sisters. Those gliders get you good. Yes, my body loves all that stretching.

Have a great day and weekend.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the beach. Rested most of the day. DH feels better, I’m hoping tomorrow I will. We went to the store to get some stuff to help this My niece’s family and her 1 year old daughter have RSV. They aren’t feeling well.

Belinda - Great job with yoga, PT exercises and walk. Thank you for the well wishes.

Cookie - Great job with JS TB, core and walk. A craft show sounds like fun especially this time of year. Thank you.for the well wishes.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! UB and a walk today. Nice weather for Novembe here today.

Deb, are you feeling better today? Hope so. Oh no on your relatives with rsv! Sure hope they're doing better quickly. The craft fairs (!) were good but sort of sad in that there is so much for sale and most folks weren't buying. Not me, I helped the economy!

Belinda, any more word on your rv? Yoga and pt sounds like a great combo.
 
Evening,

Today I did some stretching.

Debbie - how are you feeling today? I hope you resting.

Cookie - great job on your walk and UB. The RV is ready. My son is coming next week to visit. I don‘t know yet when we will pick up the RV.

Good night.
