Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

'Evening! Belinda and I must be thinking alike since I also did that workout!

Deb, I'm happy to hear you'll see the dr tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get some answers right away. Perhaps you should jokingly test whatever food he's made, brought or is eating to see if the temp is right. A couple of years ago, ds didn't have much food in his fridge when we were visiting, but I still teased him by looking at the expiration dates on beer bottles in his fridge. Needless to say, none were expired, but we had a good laugh.

Belinda, I think I've only used a dvd once in the past year. I really like the convenience of streaming. Our dogs aren't spending much time at all outside these days.
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. We babysat because my ds needed to go for some tests. Afterwards we went to my SILs for dinner. Yesterday was pizza at my house. This has been one long week.

Belinda - Good to do the January 2026 rotation, good to start it earlier. I bet your dd loves living in the country. Do you need to worry about people taking things when it's an airbnb?

Cookie - It's funny you and Belinda have been doing the same workouts! It's hard to believe when we grew up there were few items with expiration dates, now just about everything has one.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Gloved Up today. Had to drive an hour away today for a meeting, and there was a lot of icy patches. Thankful there aren't as many cars out this week because of schools being closed.

Deb, sending you positive thoughts on your dr's appointment today. Hope it all went well. Yes, about expiration dates. At the meeting today, someone mentioned their son checked expiration dates also. and I hadn't even said it about mine at that point!

Belinda, did you do Gloved Up and Sweaty today? I had to modify b/c of my sciatica, but I do love a good kickbox or boxing workout.
 
Evening,

Our Nest thermostat is out since yesterday. We had someone come and check it out, he temporarily put on on..it keeps dropping the temperature in all the bedrooms. I slept in the living room which wasn‘t comply at all. My husband need to buy one asp. I can‘t deal with all that cold lately.

I did 2 hours live Belly dancing plus Pilates with Mindful Breath.

Debbie - I hope your appointment went well today.

Cookie - no, I didn‘t do Gloved Up and Sweaty. I think I will do live Belly dancing instead all the cardio. I do love that one too.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was an upper body workout at the gym. The appointment went well, the x-ray showed no breaks/fractures. He thinks it's just inflammation from the injury. He wants me to be careful doing exercises, no squats and ice, rest and elevate if in pain or swelling develops. Any pain during exercise don't do that particular exercise. I was happy but surprised it was that simple.

Belinda - Great job with Belly dancing. Oh boy, hopefully you get your nest fixed soon. This weather is so cold. Does your living room have a fire place?

Cookie - Great job with Gloved up and sweaty. Icy roads make me so nervous, good that you are safe. Hopefully the new year brings us a break from this weather, fingers crossed.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I did STS 2 Upper Body 1 and Hip & Shoulder replay from Dec 5th. This one felt good after doing STS 2 Upper body 1.

We had someone come out yesterday to fix the thermostat. He temporally put one in, doesn‘t work as well as my Nest. I ordered a new Nest from Amazon today, it should come Friday.

Debbie - so happy to hear you don‘t have a factor/breaks. Sorry you have inflammation. I hope with lots of icing/resting it will get better. Glad you finally know what is going on.

Cookie - have fun with your workout today.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year.
 
Happy Almost New Year! STS UB1 for me also today. DH and I are staying in tonight, and can't recall the last time it was just us! Wonder if we'll make it to midnight - probably not!

Deb, relieved it isn't a facture or break. Hope the inflammation goes away soon. Are you planning on going down to FL again this winter?

Belinda, do you have heat? Hope you have at least some. I'm impressed you can get two workouts in!

Happy New Year! Let's hope it is a healthy and happy one.
 
Hi,

Happy New Year's Eve

Today was a rest day, we babysat and by the time we were done decided to take a nap LOL. We are going out to dinner tonight. It's a place we have never been so hopefully will be good. I will be cooking meatballs & sausage tonight at midnight to follow tradition. Just heard having lentils at midnight is a tradition too, never new that.

Belinda - Great job with STS 2 UB & hip & shoulder replay. Hopefully the new thermostat works out till Friday.

Cookie - Great job with STS 2 UB. Staying home with this weather may be a good idea:) I told DH maybe we should just go to sleep before midnight but I realized we stay up to midnight most nights LOL.

Goodnight:)
 
Happy New Year! Hope it is a healthy one for all of us and our families. Checking in with Mobility 2 done.

Deb, you are actually cooking usually at midnight at NYE? Wow, I made it to 11:50, but my eyes couldn't make it to midnight and wanted sleep.

Belinda, hope you had a warm NYE! Do you have any special traditions for NYE?
 
Happy New Year!! Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2025.

I did Pilates Mobility for the spine and 2 hours zoom live belly dancing this morning. The 2nd one was a sweat fest, I got lose, lol. Next week we are learning to us finger cymbals—aka zills. I had to order zills, lol. Can‘t wait for them to come. I need to order a sword for dancing too. Yikes.

Debbie - I am so glad you ok. I was worried about you. Thank you…I can‘t wait for the thermostat to come Friday. I was sleeping at Midnight. Couldn‘t drink anyway. I had to inject my medicine, it knocks me out each week. I hope you had a great start in the new year.

Cookie - my bedroom isn‘t as warm as with the Nest thermostat. Unless, its the cold outside? I have a extra heater running to warm up my bedroom. My bedroom is huge. Great job on the Mobility 2.

Happy New Year!!!
Hi,

Hope you enjoyed the new year. We stayed up and watched the ball drop but didn‘t stay up too late. I went to the gym and did an upper body workout. Shoveled some light snow. Also prepared for the painters coming tomorrow.


Belinda - Great job with Pilates mobility & 2 hour zoom dance. It sounds like you are advancing with dance. The accessories sound like a fun addition!

Cookie - Great job with mobility 2. I know DH’s family tradition was meat at midnight LOL. Our plans fell through for FL, I am going to try and figure something out tomorrow.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

STS 2 LB 1 plus Pilates is done.

Debbie - glad you enjoyed the New Year. I didn‘t stay up, went to bed at 9 pm, lol.Good luck with the painter today.

Cookie - good job with mobility 2. Have fun with STS 2 LB 1 today.

Have a great day and workout.
 
'Evening! LB and an indoor walk today. It is way too icy for an outdoor walk. Tomorrow will go visit youngest ds and his family to help a bit more with their unpacking and a wee bit of grandchild spoiling.

Deb, I forgot you had the painters coming right after the holidays. Getting ready for them is certainly a workout. Meat at midnight is a tradition I didn't know of. I find it really interesting how differently celebrations are enjoyed.

Belinda, you should sleep well from all that working out. Your new accessories sound like fun. Hope you got your new thermometer and it is installed.
 
Hi,

Today was Cathe Metabolic blast. The painting is tough. They need to do so much spackling and moving the furniture uncovers dust I didn't know existed :oops:

Belinda - Great job with STS 2 LB 1 plus Pilates. I'm sure we should paint more often so probably why it's so much work.

Cookie - Great job with LB & walk inside. It looks like next week we may get some outside walking days (fingers crossed). Have fun helping the kids unpack & spending time with your Granddaughter.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did OnDemand (yesterday‘s live dance) Cardio Belly Blast. It was a blast.

Debbie - painting is a lot of work. Just to prep alone. DH and I always did it by ourselves. I would pay someone if they would actually do the job right in the first place. Great job on the Metabolic blast. Haven‘t done that on in a long time. Need to pull it out.

Cookie - the thermostat come like an hour go. DH with help from Nest installed it. We believe there is still a wire not working. It keeps showing. We need to have someone come out next week and check the wiring in the wall. I am excited for the new belly dance accessories. They sound amazing if you do them right. Yikes on all the snow and ice. Great job on your indoor walk and LB.


Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the TM at the gym. The painters did a great job. I still have some clean up which I will finish tomorrow. We aren't redoing our guest bathroom at this time. I wanted to just paint to refresh. I chose grey & white. I'm not sure what I was thinking the countertop, fixtures and tile are all beige. It really looks bad. I'm thinking of asking the painter to repaint with a different color. I feel like it is wasteful but it really looks wrong.

Belinda - Great job with Cardio belly blast, sounds like you enjoyed it. I thought about repainting myself but I have never painted anything but my fingers and toe nails LOL. I wouldn't redo the trim. I looked up how to do it, and when I saw something about painting W's I was discouraged.

Cookie - I hope all went well today, I bet you sleep soundly tonight!

Goodnight:)
 
Evening! Yesterday's workout was helping ds and dil, and being worn out by an almost two-year old! She has energy, much more than me. Today was tb circuit. Snow all day today. Looks nice but is slippery.

Deb, painting is a lot of work! I used to like doing it when I was younger, but now my shoulders say it's time for someone else to do i. The actual painting isn't so bad as all the prep. It's probably easier to have the paint color changed right now than later.

Belinda, wish I could blast away my belly. Love the name of your dance. Yes, your accessories sound like they will really add another element of fun to your workouts.
 
Evening,

I had a live zoom Pilates class scheduled for today, didn‘t happened. Sadie‘s groomer squeezed her in same time the Pilates class was scheduled. Oh well! Sadie smells and looks so cute. She needed a cut.

No workout to report today. I will make up next week. Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment in the afternoon. I will get my workout in early.

Debbie - I am glad the painter did a good job. I love gray and white. Did you ask the painter to repaint the fixtures? LOL, I would pay someone to paint the trim.

Cookie - have a wonderful day. I hear you on blasting away your belly. Great job on your circuit workout.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a TM workout at the gym & some glute exercises. I can't wait till the middle/end of the week, it may be outside walking weather.

Belinda - I'm sure Sadie enjoyed the spa day:) Good luck with your Dr.'s appointment tomorrow.

Cookie - Great job with TB circuit. I'm sure it was a workout helping and the energy of a 2 year old. Are they settled in yet?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

STS 2.0 Super Sets Total Body + Pilates Renew & Refresh is done.

I will be back for personals. I have a appointment I have to get ready. BBL
