Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today was a leg workout at the gym. I didn't have time for a walk and it was much too cold for one outside.

Belinda - Great job with STS TB. I'm hoping your toasty warm tonight:) Tomorrow is going to be so cold, so perfect timing.

Cookie - I'm sure it was a long day for you.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Rest day today, except for the workout of playing with and trying to keep up with a 2-year old!

Deb, It is way too cold and icy out for a walk. My calves are talking to me from yesterday's Gym Style legs.

Belinda, hope the heat is on and you're toasty!
 
Hi,

We have heat!!!! It took them longer than they expected. We cleaned and moped after they left, although they did a good job cleaning up after themselves.

This morning I did live zoom dance and live Pilates Band and Balance = 45 min.

Debbie - great job on your leg workout at the gym. It’s too cold to walk outside here too. Yes, I was very warm last night. I am glad we finally have heat again.

Cookie - how fun playing with a 2 year old. the heat is on.

Great job everyone.

'Evening! GS Chest and triceps today. Way too cold and icy for an outdoor walk here today, and looks like we're all going to have a storm this weekend. Lucky us. DH wanted me to cross country ski on the lake, but he must be crazy.

Deb, how's your dh doing? How are you doing? How's the knee?

Belinda, it's wonderful that you have heat again! Very happy for you. How long do you usually workout for each day? I'm scrambling to fit in those hourlong ones.
 
Hi,

I took a rest day today. We babysat and afterwards since it was so cold just went home instead of the gym. It's so cold, I want to hibernate:) It's funny we had an alert 2 days ago that a bear was roaming the neighborhood which is strange because they should be hibernating.

Belinda - Great that you have heat!! Just in time for the cold spell & snow this weekend. Great job with dance & Pilates. I heard the Sunday storm may be worse south but I think you are further west.

Cookie - Great job with Gym Style Chest & triceps. A 2 year old is fun but they can wear you out;) Cross Country skiing across the lake would be fun to watch from a window in your warm house. DH is hanging in there taking one day at a time.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did GS Legs with modified and Pilates 30 min.

Debbie - I slept like a baby with the heat. Whatever is suppose to come, we will get it. DD already told me her friends are all worried. I should go shopping for a few days.

Cookie - this month I decided to join Cathe’s Jan 26 rotations, which is a little overkill considering I do belly dancing 3 times a week for cardio (low impact), I do Pilates 5 day’s weekly schedule ranging from 25-40 min. She also offered 3 times a week live classes each is 40 - 45 min, if I have time I will do the live classes to help stretch out my hip. Next week I will back off a little. I also start PT soon. They probably think I am nuts for working out so much.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was zoom yoga. I did it in my son's old room that was just painted. The furniture is still not in there because they redid the floors. It was nice to workout in an empty room, even the instructor asked where I was working out LOL.

Belinda - Great job with Cathe Gym Style Legs & Pilates. You probably don't want to leave the house with the new heater. I'm sure the food stores will be crowded, I should go tomorrow. I just called a different plow guy to give us a quote. The one we were using keeps raising his prices for under 4 inches of snow. Could not imagine what his price would be for 6-12 inches we are expecting.

Cookie - It doesn't look like you will be getting as much snow further north. I'm sure you are keeping your fingers crossed;)

Goodnight:)
 
Cardio intervals today. Told DH I'll go around the lake w/him tomorrow afternoon, so I'm hoping it won't be too cold.

Deb, Yes, i would prefer to do the x-country skiing as a viewer! The cold really does bother me. After babysitting, I thought you would go home to take a nap! That is strange to have a bear siting. Perhaps b/c it was a little warmer recently?

Belinda, that is a lot of working out!I As long as you and your doctors don't think it is too much, and you have the time. I'm going to semi retire the end of June, and am looking forward to being able to do more things like a few longer workouts but certainly not every day. But I would like to be able to do a wo and a walk.
 
Hi,

Today was live zoom dance class and Pilates Shoulders Mobility and Strength (foam roller).

Debbie - I hear you on working out in an empty room. Will you keep it for your workout room? The food stores were crowded today. Almost wished I didn’t needed to go. We got tired to pay the plow guy. Dh bought a plower. It takes only a few minutes and it safes us $$$. DD loves doing these things. Good luck!

Cookie - I hope you got to go with your DH around the lake today. Sounds perfect. My doctors don’t know how much I work out, lol. They never ask. I haven’t done any weight workouts with Cathe due to my health. I just wanted to see if I still can do it, I have to modify a lot. The Pilates I love for the stretching/mobility part. Which I really need. I have PT starting next week. I will ask if they think I over due it. Right now I can’t walk, it’s to cold. Yeah, on being semi retired soon.

Good night.
 
UB workout today. No walk around the lake, as it became very windy, in addition to the cold!

Deb, oh I bet it's tempting to have your own workout space/room! Can you keep the room for yourself? My workout room in the other house is the only thing I miss from it. Oh, and my large walk in closet, which was more like a room! I hope we get less snow than you - even if that doesn't sound nice.

Belinda, Pilates is so good to do. Glad you're able to start pt soon, which should only help you to feel better. How do you like foam rolling?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk at the gym & Cathe Ramped Up Upper Body. I had book club tonight and it was a gift exchange for one of your favorite things. Since I thought I would be in FL, I did a last minute gift card to Amazon. The girl who picked it loved it! I picked a gift that was wine & chocolate covered pretzels. You are allowed one steal so someone did. The gift I ended up with was a cook book by Ina Garten.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & Pilates foam roller. I think your Dr.'s would be shocked by all the workouts you do:} I probably won't use that room for a workout room. I have another room which I need to empty out which would work better.

Cookie - Great job with UB. I bet it's even cooler walking around the lake. Does DH do it often? How exciting you will be semi-retiring it. It does seem like so much of the country will be getting snow or ice. I would rather snow than ice anyday.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today was live zoom dance and Pilates.

Debbie - LOL, my doctors would be shocked by all the workouts I do :) They don’t ask, I don’t tell :) I will slow down. Great job on your walk and Ramped Up UB. What a great idea for your book club. I have a few Ina Garten cookbooks. DD took a few of my hands.

Cookie - I am surprised i like Pilates so much. I feel so good afterwards. My Pilates teacher does an amazing job on the foam roller. I love it. Great job on your UB. It’s very cold here.

'Evening! Essentrics today. This evening we went to a jazz club which was celebrating Django Reinhardt's birthday (famous guitarist). It was fun, but boy was I cold walking to the club from where we parked.

Deb, your book club gift exchanges are better than mine! We exchange used books and folks can swap. It's very boring! No wine or gift cards. My dh talks often of walking around the lake but usually onlly if I go with him. And I'm not going when it is this cold and icy! He does have his snowshoes and cross country skis all prepared to go after this storm.

Bellinda, I also love the feeling after doing Pilates workout! It makes me feel different than the sense of accomplishment I have after doing Cathe. So happy your heating system is working for you, esp. with this cold.
 
Hi,

Today was Strong & Sweaty TB. We had a busy day, after my workout, we went and babysat a couple of hours and after that we went to visit my Mom.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & Pilates. They already told us the gym will be closed on Sunday. The good thing about working out at home, except if power goes out:(

Cookie - I was thinking the people who work from home miss out on a snow day. Hopefully you get one.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did GS Back, Shoulder & Biceps + Pilates for the lower body.

I went to Costco today thinking it would be a mad house, I got in and out in less then 20 min. The cashier told me yesterday when they open they had over 400 people. Glad I didn’t went to Costco yesterday. I also stocked up on more fruit and healthy food. No empty shelves.

Debbie - great job on Strong & Sweaty TB. You had a busy day yesterday. Stay warm.

Cookie - I am so happy my heating system is working too. Boy, it’s cold outside. Great job on your Essentrics workout. I hope you enjoyed the jazz club.

Good night.
 
'Evening! TB workout today and a hockey game, which had a disappointing ending. Eldest ds came for a visit this afternoon. He usually comes on Sundays, but came today b/c of the projected storm.

Deb, you did have a busy day! Bet you slept good last night! Monday I actually was supposed to have in-person meetings, but they were changed to virtual, so I'll still have to work. Ugh. Mentally I'm done with that job.

Belinda, it is so cold outside, my dogs were out and back in in a few minutes! Even they didn't want to be out.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk at the gym. It was pretty crowded there. I decided to wait to go to the food store till 3PM and it wasn't crowded and the shelves were good.

Belinda - Great job with GS back, shoulder & bi's & Pilates LB. I would have thought Costco would still be crowded today. Yesterday we passed a Costco by my Mom's and the gas lines were very long.

Cookie - Great job with TB. It's good your eldest ds came today, tomorrow will be tough. Hopefully Monday's meeting will be a quick one. DIL is working from home as well and didn't get the day off.

Good luck with the storm! I think I'll stay in my p.j.'s all day & make a dessert:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did a live zoom dance workshop and live zoom Pilates abs/hips

Debbie - great job on your walk at the gym. Staying in your PJs is a great idea today. We got hit with snow/ice hard. We got 12 inches.

Cookie - sorry the hockey game was disappointing. Yeah, I don’t blame your dogs not wanting to go outside. You don’t see anyone outside. Too cold, snowed in.

Good night
 
Functional Pilates today and a lot of snow, and it is still coming down!

Deb, good day to stay in your pjs all day! I had a very nice, lazy day.

Belinda, the dogs really didn't want to go outside today. I can't imagine their reaction in the morning! How's Sadie?
 
Hi,

Today was shovel max. We have someone plowing our driveway & sidewalk. DH & I did the walkways & deck plus our neighbors sidewalk & front walkway (they are in FL). I think we had over 16 inches. We went out 2x's for me & 3x's for DH.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & Pilates abs/hips. Too much snow for everyone!

Cookie - Great job with Functional Pilates. I did take a nap in between shoveling. I hope you don't get too much snow.

Goodnight:)
