Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Yesterday wasn‘t a good day for me. I was down for the first time in 5 years. The end of this month marks 5 years when I was diagnosed with RP. On top off all this, I wasn‘t expecting this outcome from my neurologist.

My rheumatologist called me yesterday. I am glad I got to talk to him. I was very concerned about the new meds I am on. I was wondering if it has something to do with the aneurysm, he ensured me it has nothing to do with the meds. It has other side effects but not cause an aneurysm. He wants me to take it easy, not get my blood pressure up and my heart rate. No heavy lifting. He recommended very light weights and high reps. No high impact Aerobics. Protect my head from any injuries. We also discussed when to seek medical attention if I get a giant headache or don‘t feel well.

Debbie - thank you for your thoughts and prayers! I really appreciate it. It‘s just a lot lately. I hope I get an appointment soon too. Keep you updated. Nice job on your walk and gym workout.

Cookie - great job on your walk and essentrics. Thank you. I hope I get some answers soon.

I am going to get a light workout in.
 
I did CL# 229 Awesome Upper Body. It was perfect. She did higher reps on most of the exercises.I used lighter weights, still got a good workout in. Push ups on the bench, I did on the wall push ups. Triceps dips on the bench, I did triceps press down on the bowlex.

Have a great workout and weekend. I need to look for high reps CL workouts this weekend.
 
Rest day today. Went to see a museum about an hour and a half away - beautiful art work.

Deb, hope you're having a quiet weekend.

Belinda, please take it easy. Glad you got to speak with your neurologist.
 
Hi,

Today was a short walk in the evening.

We were on our way to my Mom's to celebrate my brother and older ds's birthday. I received a text that my younger ds, dil & grandson were going to the hospital. Our Grandson fell down some steps in their home. Both DH & I were so upset. Thank God the Dr. said it was ok, just a bump on his head. He will have a follow-up on Monday. We will go see him tomorrow.

Belinda - I agree take it easy. Good that you were able to talk to your Dr. even on the weekend. I bet you can use light weights for most of Cathe's weight workouts. You have a lot going on but always manage to find the bright side.

Cookie - Sounds like a fun day going to the museum. There wasn't a special reason to go to NYC, just haven't been there in a while.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! TB weights today.

Deb, that's so frightening. TG the little guy is alright. Things happen so quickly.

Belinda, hope you decided to take a rest day.
 
Hi,

Today was a short walk outside it was really hot & humid but the weather breaks tomorrow. We went to visit our Grandson he look good and is doing well. The parents are so upset but I told them some stories of things that happened when they were little.

Belinda - I hope you are feeling better. You have had a great attitude for the last 5 years, so to have some bad days is ok.

Cookie - Great job with tb workout. So many worries when you are a parent.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I went for a walk outside today. I probably will do a light weight workout this afternoon, I have 2 doctors appointments tomorrow.

Debbie - glad your grandson is okey. How scary! I could tell your stories about my son when he was little. Thank you! It‘s just a lot lately. All the stress isn‘t helping to keep my blood pressure down. Yes, most Cathe‘s weight workouts you can do with lighter weights and keep them high reps.

Cookie - I did decided to take a rest day. It was to hot/humid to walk, plus I didn‘t feel like doing anything. Well, I cleaned out my pantry in the kitchen, lol. Great job on your TB weights.

'Evening! Essentrics today. Beautiful day here.

Deb, glad the little guy is alright. That is so scary. Our kids had many misadventures and mishaps. Good you could help your ds and dil understand, unfortunately, kids and spills are pretty common.

Belinda, very happy to read you took a rest day. Cleaning out a pantry can count as a workout though. Good luck w/the doctor appointments tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, it was finally cooler. I also did Cathe Total body barbell.

Belinda - Good you went for a walk, hopefully weather cooler by you too. I'm sure you have lots of questions for the Dr.'s tomorrow. Thank you for the well wishes our Grandson.

Cookie - Great job with essentrics. I say why couldn't we have more days like today:) Thanks you for the well wishes for our Grandson.

Goodnight:)
 
Had to take a rest day - so much other running around, funeral for a neighbor, work, and meetings, took up my day.

Deb, yes, it was another beautiful day here and more like it would be great.

Belinda, hope you had some satisfying answers to your questions.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, another nice day & abs. I was so tired the critters in the attic kept me up last night. The pest control guy came today and said it really isn't bad in the attic. He didn't see signs of an infestation or any damage. It sure sounds like they are doing damage. They gave me a proposal we need to look over.

Belinda - I hope your appointments went well today.

Cookie - You did have a very busy day. You should sleep well tonight.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Yesterday ended up being a rest day, I had too many appointments by the time I got home I was so tired. My doctor did a xray from my hip. I been having problems for a few weeks know. I hope I only over stretched it.

Today I went for a nice walk. It’s cooler outside.

I have an appointment with the neurosurgeon on Sep 23rd. I can’t wait to get more answers.

Debbie - nice job on your walk and abs. My appointments went well. Thank you! My Rheumatologist put me on a round of prednisone. The new medication isn’t fully working yet.

Cookie - I did. Thank you. You had a busy day yesterday. I was so beat by the time I got home.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Essentrics today. Rainy day finally! We really need some rain. Hope folks are too impacted by the Hurricane.

Deb, I wouldn't like if I could hear the critter either! Hope their proposal is a good one.

Belinda, all those appointments must have been exhausting. Hope you decide to take some time to rest.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & zoom yoga. It rained most of the day here too.

Belinda - It sounds like you were very busy yesterday. I'm sure you were exhausted. Great you have an appointment in a couple of weeks. It was cooler here too.

Cookie - Great job with essentrics. We needed the rain too. The proposal is a bit high but they do come back each quarter to check for a year.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I went for a nice walk today. I actually had to put on a jacket.

Debbie - great job on your walk outside and yoga. Do I miss doing yoga. I am visiting DD this weekend. We have to spa and hair day scheduled. I am looking forward to spending time with DD.

Cookie - nice job with essentriics. Yes, all those appointments are exhausting especially they finding more and more stuff.

Have a great day and workout.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside it was nice out:) I also ran a bunch of errands.

Belinda - It makes walking so much better when the weather is nice. It will be good for you to do a spa/hair day with DD. It sounds like fun!

Cookie - Any visitors this weekend?

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Doing another conference, so I'm all worn out from talking and listening! Did take manage to squeeze in a chair yoga routine. Yes, visitors again! The conference is local, so I'll be go and be back tomorrow afternoon. DH will have to manage.

Deb, it's that time of year that we need multiple changes of clothes to match the changing weather throughout a day. Any bears on your walk?

Belinda, a spa and hair day with your dd does sound like fun and great. Enjoy!
 
A short walk today, and I'm hoping to get a good night's sleep to recover from a long busy week. Only had the conference for half a day today, but have another one on Monday.

Deb, did you go out to eat last night? I've noticed you usually do on Fridays.

Belinda, are you enjoying your spa and hair day with your dd? I'm sure you are.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, it was nice out. We went to dinner last night.

Belinda - I hope you had fun with dd for your spa & hair day:)

Cookie - It's good the conference is close but I'm sure your not crazy about it being on the weekend. Hopefully you sleep well. We first went and babysat, the kids did a happy hour, and we went to dinner later on near their house.

Goodnight:)
