Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

I did GS Chest & Triceps this morning + core. I am done with the Cathe Jan 26 rotations. Not sure what I will do next? Snow go away…I am already tired.

Debbie - great job on shovel max :( Yikes! We have about the same amount of snow you have :(

Cookie - great job with Functional Pilates. We go out very quickly with Sadie. She doesn’t like the cold either.

Great job everyone.
 
'Evening! Hard Strikes w/o the weight segment at the end was today's workout. The snow just keeps coming! We have someone who plows our driveway and dh shovels our walkways. He says it is about 20 inches now. And it is still snowing.

Deb, hope shoveling doesn't bother your knee. Taking a nap after shoveling is a great idea. I'm trusting you didn't have to babysit today.

Belinda, great job on finishing Cathe's rotation! The snow is deeper than my dogs are tall.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the TM. I am over the snow & freezing temps, & now maybe another storm Sunday:(

Belinda - Great job with GS Chest & Triceps. Only the stores are happy about the snow:) It must be hard for Sadie.

Cookie - Hard Strikes is a good one. Surprisingly the shoveling didn't bother my knee. Oh boy, 20 inches we were close. DIL switched us to Wednesday.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Hope you are all well. Today I walked on the TM. It was a busy day running errands. I bundled up but still so cold.

Stay warm

Goodnight:)
 
Had to take a rest day today. Came home this afternoon and went to bed for a few hours. Woke up with a fever. Thinking a good night's rest will help.

Deb, glad your knee wasn't bothered by the shoveling yesterday. How is it today? Tomorrow is the day with your little guy! I'm over the snow also.

Belinda, hope all is well.
 
Good morning,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. Our son is in DC, we went out to grab a bit. He is leaving Thursday. It was insane finding a parking spot without being covered with 4 feet of snow. I am not kidding people used ice picks to free their cars from all the ice and snow. We got home very late last night.

My husbands cousin husband passed away yesterday. He went in for a hernia surgery. The surgery went well.

I did 2 live zoom dance classes and Pilates stretch.

Debbie - great job on your walk on the TM. It’s so cold outside.

Cookie - I hope you feel better. Get lots of rest.

I am starting PT today. I don’t know what I will do today? BBL
 
'Evening! Feeling better, but not quite back to par yet. Did do a lb workout.

Deb, hope you had fun babysitting today, and that you get a good night's rest from it!

Belinda, hope PT went well. Sorry to hear of the passing.
 
Hi,

Today was zoom yoga. We babysat which was fun. It was so cold out.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & Pilates stretch. Good luck with PT. Have fun while your ds is visiting. It is crazy how much snow, by us the streets are so narrow as well as there being less lanes it makes me nervous to drive.

Cookie - I hope you feel better, smarter to rest and hopefully a quicker recovery. My knee isn't bad, even after yoga but I do modify.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today was live zoom dancing plus a nice hip opener stretch.

My PT yesterday went well. Once I showed her the MRI report about the tear in my hip, she was why don’t they do surgery? She had the same thing happened to her a few years ago, except her doctor did the surgery. She doesn’t think she can help me much with the tear in my hip/hamstring. She said she will try to see if I get some relieve. She had doubts. She did gave me 4 hip strengthening exercises to strengthen the muscle around the hip 2 times a day/12 reps. Nothing too crazy.She said if I am hurting to stop what I am doing. She was against the shot in my hip, since it will not repair the tear. It’s just temporary fix. I will get a hold of my doctor and see what he thinks.

Debbie - I hear you on getting nerves driving on those narrow streets. I was nerves in DC. DS already is leaving today for NY. It was a short business trip.

Cookie - thank you! I thought the PT went well. Learned a lot about the tear in my hip. I hope you feel better soon. I am coming down with something?

Have a great day and workout.
 
'Evening! DH convinced me I needed a rest day. Got very dizzy and ran a high fever again last night. Slight one this evening.

Deb, I had to drive yesterday, and I couldn't make left-hand turns b/c the snow was piled up so high on the roads. Modifying is always smart and good! Do you take lots of photos of the little guy? I find myself looking at our digital photo framea lot.

Belinda, glad you had the chance to visit with your ds. Your hip sounds painful. Hope the PT helps. It's interesting the differences in medical opinions.
 
Good morning,

I did Standing Pilates and I will do a live zoom dance later.

Debbie - I have to modify everything. Nothing wrong with that. Have fun with your workout today.

Cookie - please take it easy! There is something going around. My hip is very painful. I hope the PT will help too. Well the therapist had exactly the same hip problem. The roads on Monday in DC looked like that. The snow was piled so high cars were swallowed under snow/ice. People used ice picks to free their cars. We had a hard time finding parking at DD’s condo. It was horrible. Feel better.

Have a great day and workout.
 
'Evening! Took the day off work and enjoyed a slower pace day. Had a long chat with my stepmom and did an ub workout. This afternoon went out with dh on a walk around the lake. The snow was higher than my knees a couple of times, so it was a definite workout. Hopefullly, he's not so tired that his snoring will keep me awake tonight, b/c I'm planning on a good sleep.
 
Hi,

Today I had PT and I did Pilates UB with the small ball. PT went well, learned a lot. She is working with me on pelvic floor. For the tear they can do anything. She showed me gentle stretches instead of figure 8, which is impossible for me to do. She also wants me to stop doing LB weight training to relax my hip. No lunges, no squats. She wants me to do only Pilates and walking for now. It’s too cold to walk outside, lol. Hip is hurting from PT today.

Debbie - hope you have a great workout today.

Cookie - great job yesterday. I hope you got a good night sleep.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Functional Mobility Fusion today. Some new-to-me things in there. Eldest ds came for a visit and meal today, since tomorrow we have a play. Hockey game tonight!

Deb, hope all is well. Thinking of you.

Belinda, I couldn't do lunges, deadlifts, squats or circle 8 (hip cleaners for a very long time), but now can do them. Of course, sometimes I wish I didn't have to. Good thing you have a good PT who will help you on the journey. What fun plans do you have for the weekend?
 
Hi,

I'll come back tomorrow to say hi. I have the flu, running a fever and sleeping a lot.

Have a great weekend & stay warm:)
 
Good morning,

Today I will do a live zoom Pilates core class.

Debbie - Oh no! Sorry you are not feeling well. Please get a lot of rest and feel better soon.

Cookie - I have been doing modified lunges, squats a.s.o. I hope one day I can do all again without modifications. So far, I like the therapists. I have no plans this weekend. I am deep cleaning my kitchen cabinets and getting rid of stuff I never use. Enjoy the time with your son and hockey game.

I will be back later.
 
Hi,

Feeling much better today, no fever just a headache but for some reason have had that on and off for a week. Boy has it been cold here, the only good thing is we do have sunshine.

My relatives in NC had between 6-12 inches of snow they are in their glory. My Mom said they don't even own a shovel.

Belinda - Great job with CL #25 Strong upper body & core. I meant to tell you sorry about your DH's cousin passing. Did your son have problems getting back home with the weather conditions?

Cookie- Great job with functional mobility. You are very brave to go to the play and hockey game, just opening the door is tough for me :)

Goodnight:)
 
TB circuits today and saw A Raisin in the Sun - what a great play! It was so good.

Deb, glad you're feeling better! Heard the flu this year came with a wicked headache. Rest up, please! I'm very happy we've only had a little more snow, and hope we have a moratorium on any more!

Belinda, that sounds like a great workout. I'll have to check it out. Deep cleaning is always great when it's over!
 
Hi,

Today was Pilates Full body with the band.

Debbie - thank you! Glad you feeling better. Whatever is going around is hitting everyone good. DD is still sick too. No DS didn’t had any problems getting home.

Cookie - that one is a good one. She does everything 3 sets/12 reps range. Not to fast. It’s so cold what else will I do? So, I do my cleaning now. Great job on your TB circuits. Glad you enjoy the play. I have to look that one up.

Have a great day and workout.
