Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2024

'Evening circuit 5 today. Ran into a thrift shop before grocery shopping and found a kitchen playset with a lot of toys for a great price. It was so large and heavy, I had to call my dh to help me carry it to the car. The little ones will love it.

Deb,is this a babysitting week?

Belinda, glad to hear you're feeling much better!
 
Hi,

Sorry I missed yesterday. I had my physical and got the Shingles shot, boy is it painful! I'm still in pain have been taking aspirin but I will take Alleve tonight.

Yesterday was a total body gym workout & walk. Today I did deck yoga (my fav instructor is visiting her parents from Hawaii). Even though it was hot it was in the evening so not too bad.

Belinda - Happy to hear you caught up on your sleep after the infusion. Does Sadie like the teeth cleaning? Years ago we had it done for our dog and she didn't like it. Great job with dancing, yoga & JS TB:)

Cookie - Great job with yoga, pilates & Circuit 5. Your thrift shop kitchen set sounds like a great find. DIL was sick so we didn't babysit Monday, but today we ran over there to help her out for a couple of hours.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did 2 live dance classes.

Debbie - I was wondering about you yesterday. I am so sorry about the Shingles shot. How are you feeling today? Feel better. Was that your 2nd dose? I heard those are painful. I got the first one in 99. I am afraid to get the 2nd one. I have enough problems. Your yoga on the deck sounds lovely. It’s very humid here. Sadie never had a teeth cleaning.

Cookie - nicely done on Circuit 5 and yoga/Pilates. Great find at the thrift shop. I am sure the kids will love it. Those kitchens are hard to find.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & Cathe Butts & Guts. We are going to dinner tonight.

Belinda - Great job with 2 dance workouts! It was my 1st Shingles shot, near the injection slight is red and swollen. I think I'll be afraid to get a 2nds shot, it is painful.

Waves hi to Cookie

Have a nice night:)
 
'Evening! Yoga today. Was beautiful outside today - managed to get a walk in.

Deb, sorry the shingles shot is bothering you. I was hesitant to go back for the second one, but the fear of getting shingles won out. Your dil is so lucky to have you close by.

Belinda, 2 live dance classes! I might have needed a nap after that. We had to have teeth removed from our smaller dogs as they aged. Hopefully, that won't be the case with Sadie.
 
Hi,

Today I did JS Circuit 1 Week 3.


Debbie - how are you feeling any better today? I heard the 2nd is supposed to be worse than the first one. I only had a little swollen arm. Nothing to crazy. Sorry you in so much pain. Great job on your walk and B&G.

Cookie - nice job on your walk and yoga. It’s over 90’s here, no way I walk outside, lol. Glad you both getting your walks in. I am trying to prevent having Sadie’s teeth removed. I hope the vet doesn’t have to do that either.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Circuit 6 today and an indoor walk.

Deb, hope your dinner last evening was scrumptious. I haven't done butts & guts in a long time - loved that one.

Belinda, it was way too humid to walk outside, so I've been trying to do shorter ones indoors. The dog dental bills were quite expensive, but we didn't want them to be in pain. So we were in financial pain!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & full body at the gym. We have a family get together/reunion tomorrow in Long Island. Hopefully the traffic won't be too bad, the Yankees are playing so hopefully GPS can reroute us.

Belinda - Great job with JS Circuit 1. My arm was swollen by the injection site, but it also swollen by my armpit so when I used my arm it hurt. Today it is so much better. Thanks for asking.

Cookie - Great job with yoga, walk & Circuit 6. We had a day of low humidity but I think it is back. Thanks for asking about my arm.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did JS Pilates.

Debbie - great job on your walk and full body at the gym. Have fun with your family reunion today. Yikes, on the swollen arm pits. That sounds horrible. Glad your arm is feeling better.

Cookie - great job on your TB workout and yoga. Yes, dental can get expensive. Haha….being in financial pain!

Good night.
 
'evening! Another yoga/pilates day. Have to leave in the morning to drive for a conference. Am bringing bands but am not sure about having much time over the next couple of days to workout. Hopefully can get in short ones.

Deb, after the shingles shots, my arm and underarm were tender and sore also. Hope you were able to avoid a lot of traffic and had a great time at the reunion.

Belinda, have you been a pilates/yoga practioner for a while? It's really has only been the past couple of years for me, but mostly in the past year.
 
Hi,

Today was a short walk before we left. DS came by and walked the dog another 2 miles while we were at the family reunion. We can't believe the dog walked so much, we didn't tell him because we didn't think he would walk her. She seems good so I guess no worries.

The family party was fun with lots of laughs. Traffic was bad but not horrible, coming home was so much better.

Belinda - Great job with JS Pilates. My arm is much better today.

Cookie - Great job with yoga/pilates. Hopefully you will have some down time at your conference.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did JS TB Circuit 2.

Debbie - great job on your walks. The dog did great on her 2 mile walk. Sadie love going for her walks. Glad the family part was fun with lots of laughs. Glad your arm is better.

Cookie - great job on your yoga/pilates yesterday. I been doing off and on Pilates. It never clicked with me in my earlier years. Kinda fell of the wagon with my knees bordering me. I really need to keep up with it. It’s very good for my core and body.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & Perfect Pump UB. For some reason we are seeing so many rabbits this year. In over 30 years we wouldn't see any, now at least 4-6 on our walk & at least 3 live around our property. It is driving Riley crazy LOL.

Belinda - Great job with JS TB Circuit 2. I'm sure Sadie doesn't chase rabbits and squirrels:) They probably aren't afraid of her either.

Cookie - I hope all goes well with your conference.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did a OnDemand dance workout and JS Yoga Flow: Release.

Debbie - great job on your walk and Perfect Pump UB. Sadie likes to chase rabbits and squirrels, LOL. Yorkies are bird hunters. Oh, they run when they see Sadie, lol.

Cookie - good luck with your conferenc.

Have a good day.
 
'Evening! Got in a lot of steps and my travel workout w/bands. Too much food at conferences and then tonight dinner was on our own. A colleague and I had a great Italian food, but then had to walk up a very steep hill to get back to our hotel.

Deb, glad it things worked out so well for the reunion. Bet the poor dog slept really well Sunday evening! We have a lot of rabbits this year and robins. I don't ever remember seeing as many robins as this year.

Belinda, agree w/you on Pilates being good for the body. I'm loving it.
 
Hi,

Today was supposed to be deck yoga but a thunderstorm rolled in so we did it in my neighbors garage. It was nice and fun to see the storm from a distance.

The big story of the evening was we decided to take Riley for a walk since we weren't home most of the day. We were about 4 houses past our house when Riley stops, we look over and it was a very BIG black bear. My heart was beating out of my chest. Thank god it was moving in the opposite direction we were going. We still picked up our pace. I was going to knock on a neighbors door but by then the bear had turned the corner. No one else was out because it was 9:00pm and lightly raining. We have heard through the years people seeing bears, we have woods behind us and never have seen one. Hopefully it is another 30 years before I see one again;) I will never complain about walking and seeing bats or lightning!

Belinda - Great job with dance & JS yoga flow. I would have never have thought Sadie would chase rabbits, squirrels and birds:)

Cookie - Ending the conference with Italian food sounds yummy. Sounds like you were very busy during the conference but at least you were moving and getting steps.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I saw neurologist today for my burning feet, he believes I have small fiber neuropathy which can manifest from RP. He ordered a full head and spine MRI (lower back pain) and ran blood tests.

I did a OnDemand dance and Jessica Smith TB Circuit 3.

Debbie - OMG! How scary! I am so glad the bear went the other way. I been reading a lot of bears wondering into neighborhoods. I am kinda wonder if they looking for food? Glad you okey.

Cookie - sounds like your earned the yummy Italian food. Great job getting steps in. I am looking forward to Pilates. I have to be careful with the core exercise, for some reason it’s hurting my lower back. I thought I could strengthen my back/core with Pilates. I will still do it, i have to modify some of the exercises by using a small ball to support my lower back.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Conference half a day and then I got to come home. Did TB circuit and am happy to be home.

Deb, how scary! Thank goodness Riley just stopped and not went towards the bear! I can't imagine how frightening that was, and am thankful you are alright! Your neighbor must have a clean garage to be able to hold the yoga there.

Belinda, hope they can give you some relief for your foot pain. That must be very hard. How do you manage your dance with it?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, during the day so no bear LOL. I also did Perfect Pump lower body.

Belinda - Great job with dance and JS TB Circuit 3. Hopefully they will find ways to help you with the foot pain after the testing.

Cookie - It must feel good to be home. Great getting in TB circuit today, I would have probably been lazy;) My neighbor just had their garage painted so it was clean, perfect timing.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did OnDemand belly dance techniques from yesterday. It was mostly isolations, not to bad. I also did Yoga Journal: Total Body Yoga - Part 1. It was tough yoga practice. I had to modify the heck out of this one. I think, it has 9 yoga practice. I will go through them one by one. Hopefully it they will get easier.

Debbie - great job on your walk without a bear, lol. And Perfect Pump. Thank you! I hope so too.

Cookie - I am sure you glad to be home. Great job on TB circuit. Thank you! I hope so too. I just dance through the pain. You suppose to dance barefoot, I have to sneakers (I have Zumba dance shoes) They are very comfortable.I also feel somewhat normal when I dance/or do my workouts.

Have a great day and workout.
