Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Today was a nature walk w/JS. Seeing the green vegetation was nice. There was an alligator right near her filming.

Deb, hope you had fun babysitting and are feeling better. Puppy Bowl is perfect for me - dogs and puns.

Belinda, hope it went well with PT. Nice job with your workouts.
 
Hi,

Today was live zoom dance and Pilates for the hips.

Debbie - great catching up on sleep. Babysitting can be a workout. I am not sure about PT? Not sure if this is a normal practice? So far, I seen 3 different therapist.They all do something different? I thought therapy is one on one? Yesterday she was double booking. I don‘t like it when they switching from one patient to the next.

Cookie - great job on JS walk.Which workout did you do? I didn‘t see an alligator. She hasn‘t put out anything new for a long time.
 
Hi,

Today was a very long walk. I had a Dr. appointment in NYC and just walked to the appointment and back from the train station. I was bundled up but did enjoy the NYC sights when I walked.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & Pilates. I haven't heard of the PT being done that way. Maybe see how it goes and if you don't feel right switch places.

Cookie - A nature walk with JS sounds nice! One way to enjoy the outdoors;) We are getting icy rain tonight, it sounds like snow by you.

Goodnight:)
 
TB workout and then cross-country skiing. We managed to get out before more snow came this afternoon.

Deb, we received more snow, but I'll take that over ice. We were just getting ready to leave to pick up my uncle for dinner, when the snow started. Thankfully, he didn't want to go out. Hope the wind from the cross streets wasn't too strong when you were in NYC, and that all went well with the dr's appt.

Brenda, I've always been assigned to the same PT when doing a course of treatment, so yours is different to me. She has put out newer one on the platform and updated some of her previous. The walk was her Nature Walk.
 
Hi,

Today I did Pilates and a quick TB workout. I also walked Sadie while waiting for her grooming appointment.

I called the physical therapy this morning, letting the front desk know I want only 1 person when doing my course of treatment. She said the reason they do it is so get a fresh set of eyes on what is going on. I am not sure if the PT is aggravating my hip more? I am in a lot of pain during the night. They massage/stretch this area out. I made an appointment with my doctor next week.

Debbie - I hope your doctors appointment went well. Glad you enjoyed the NY sight.

Cookie - that is so funny about the alligator. Jessica pointed it out. They do have alligators in FL. Great job on your TB and cross country skiing. It‘s starting to warm up. It was almost in the 50‘s today.

Good night.
 
Lots of steps today, got over 10K, so I'll take that as a workout.

Deb, how's your knee after all that walking around yesterday? Also, how is your dh doing?

Belinda, not 50 here today! We had more snow again this morning and schools had a 2-hour delay. I'm over this weather.
 
Hi,

Today I did Elevated Mobility. We didn't get any rain/ice but schools had delayed openings. I guess they made the decision and nothing came. We still have lots of snow to melt though.

Belinda - Great job with Pilates & TB workout. You were lucky to have nice weather:) It's good you made a Dr.'s appointment to help you figure out the pain you have at night.

Cookie - I would rather snow than ice, luckily the weathermen were wrong:) It's good you were able to go see your Uncle & Cross ski before the snow came. My knee seems to be ok & DH is feeling much better, thanks.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did live zoom dance and yoga for the hips.

Debbie - how did you like Elevated Mobility? Great job. We still have a lot of snow, it‘s melting with all the sunshine. I still waiting for an appointment for the intra articular cortisone shot, which a doctor injects a mixture of synthetic corticosteroid and local anesthetic into the joint space, often under imaging guidance. I did read all the side effects I need to discuss with my doctor. I am not sure if I want to do it, it‘s only short term.

Cookie - it was so nice yesterday, still a lot of snow. It‘s starting to melt off my deck. I walked Sadie, she was so dirty by the time she went for her grooming appointment. Great job on your 10K.

Have great day.
 
'Evening! Rest day today. Had eye appointment, and I hate the effect the drops and lights have on my eyes. I always get such a headache from it.

Deb, glad your knee and dh are doing better. Was that workout in the new series? What did you think of it?

Belinda, we have about two feet of snow, and I'm over it. Bet Sadie loved getting out for a walk, but was even happier after her grooming appointment.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk on the TM. I really liked the Elevated mobility workout yesterday. I see lots of people at the gym adding mobility moves to their routine. I am happy that Cathe added it to her dvds.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & yoga. it's good that you will bring up the side effects with the Dr. this way he can give you an opinion. It's funny just saw a commercial on TV about using gel injections for knee problems. I'm guessing it's different than cortisone shots.

Cookie - I feel the same way about eye appointments. I'm not sure if it's the drops they use but the whites of my eyes turn yellow. I remember one time being in the elevator and a young man looked scared when he saw my eyes. When I looked in the mirror in the car (I had no idea), I could see why.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I had PT early this morning . I also did a live zoom dance workout. Getting ready for our zoom Galentine’s Day. Looking forward to it. I missed the Christmas party.

So, I called the physical therapist yesterday. I ended up not with the girl the front desk told me yesterday. It‘s fine with me, I told the therapist today I don‘t like switching back and forth therapist. I would like the stay with her. She also did PT between me and another lady. I don‘t get it? I will look for another therapist.

I found out this morning the girl in our group on FB passed away from RP. She was so young :( Breaks my heart.

Diane - glad you liked PHA Cardio Fusion. I read on FB mixed reviews on Cardio Fusion. Cathe did that with the bands in 4DS, I ended up not using a band as a marker. I hope your doctors appointment went well.

Debbie - thinking about you :(

See you all tomorrow.
 
'evening! Cross country skiing today. There was about 5 inches more snow than Tuesday, and it was unmarked. Hockey game this evening. Any plans for Valentine's Day?

Deb, it's hard to imagine you scaring anyone. Thankfully, I only have to go to the eye dr's twice a year. thanks for recommending mobility moves - maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

Belinda, hope you enjoy tomorrow's party. You'll have to let us know. Your pt practice is organized much differently than those I've gone to. I've just had one therapist at a time. Hope you find a consistent one that you like.
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. We went to an early dinner & a play Come From Away at a local theatre. It was a Christmas present, The play was really good, it was hard to get dinner because most places had fixed priced menu's starting at $100 per person for Valentine's weekend. We just wanted to eat quickly so I found a restaurant that we could just order off the menu.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance. I'm sure you had fun at your Galentine's Party:) Let us know how it was. It does seem different that a PT would help more than one person especially if you are paying full price and not splitting the cost.

Cookie - Cross Country skiing on fresh snow sounds like so much fun! The last few years we were in FL for Valentine's Day easier to have make dinner reservations and full menus. Here in NJ it is so different. I remember you saw the play Come From Away. Years ago we saw it in NYC but I actually liked the one in NJ better.

Goodnight:)
 
Happy Valentine Day,

Today I did 30 min Pilates and 25 min chair yoga on YT. The chair yoga was great but too many commercials.

I canceled my PT sessions for next week. I was honest why I was canceling. I am going to look for a one on one treatment.

Debbie - I agree, with everything you said. Not only that, it seems like every time I saw a different PT, they had no idea what was going on. It seems like a mess. Yes, restaurants are very expensive today. I am staying home for that reason.

Cookie - I had it with the PT place. I can do those exercises at home too. They are not well organized. I had an appointment at 8 am Friday. Nobody is there at 8 am, WTH? I had enough with the double sessions. I will look for another one next week. I didn‘t get much out of PT anyway. The exercises they had me doing I am already doing in Pilates.
 
'Afternoon! Cross-country skiing again today! Great weather for it, and it's a workout. Hockey game this evening and dd is coming in. Going to visit the grandkid (and her lucky parents) tomorrow.

Deb, I did enjoy that play! It was so good. That's crazy about dinner reservations. We just realized we seldom go out to dinner for Valentine's Day! We each bought tickets for concerts - thankfully different ones!

Belinda, hope you find a pt practice that is focused on your needs. That is absurd to have no one there when you had an appointment. Are you watching the Olympics?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside. We babysat tonight, the baby has a cold but was still running around.

Belinda - Great job with Pilates & Chair Yoga. I'm sure there are lots of PT places to find one that is a good fit for you. I heard tonight the restaurants were even busier.

Cookie - It was nice getting a break from the cold weather, great that you took advantage of it:) I hope your team wins. Have fun with dd and the grandchild tomorrow.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I went with DD and her fiance to check out some venue for their wedding in DC. The venue was small. When I came home I did live zoom Pilates Standing strong.

Debbie - great job on your walk yesterday. I also went for a nice long walk yesterday. Today it‘s raining.Sorry the baby is sick :( I hope he feels better soon. I checked on how much they claimed my insurance for one visit, WTH? I will contact my insurance tomorrow. Yeah, I will find a one that is a better fit for me.

Cookie - isn‘t it absurd? There was so much wrong with this place. I am sure I will get a call tomorrow. They had the nerve to sent me messages to do a virtual PT, lol. We haven‘t watched any Olympics yet. DH and I usually stay home on Valentine Day. I rather relax and enjoy a quite meal at home.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. I was going to walk outside but it was so damp out. DH said the gym was so crowded this weekend, so I just stayed home:)

Belinda - Great job with Pilates standing strong. It's fun looking at venues. It wasn't the nicest day here either.

Cookie - I hope you had enjoyed the day with your family.

Goodnight;)
 
Hi,

I did Lift, Move & Restore 2: Elevated TB plus TB Pilates with the band. Elevated TB was a good workout, I had to modify all the kneeling exercises. You can go up or down with your weights. It‘s defiantly an endurance workout.

Debbie - I‘ll bet the gym was crowded yesterday with all that rain. The venue was town down DC, couldn‘t do much in the rain.

Cookie - I hope you had a great weekend.

I will be back later.
