Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today I did live zoom dance plus Pilates Happy Hips.

I have a CT angio with contrast for my enlarged atery tomorrow. I will workout once I get home.

Debbie - I hope you feeling better. I hope you are not walking in this weather, lol.

Cookie - I have no idea how long before they schedule me another appointment t. I hope they will call me soon for another appointment. DH is getting a hip replacement on Tuesday. I don‘t have time to get anything done. You and me both are over this weather.

Have a great day and workout.
 
'Evening! Got in a couple of miles today, but boy is it cold out. It is amazing to see the difference in quality of snow removal from sidewalks.

Deb, how are you feeling now? How's your dh doing? Has your eldest ds moved to FL?

Belinda, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow with your CT. I had some ultrasounds and xrays done today, and was relieved each set didn't take too long. Hope you have as good luck. How's your dh feeling about his upcoming surgery?
 
Hi,

Sorry I forgot to check in yesterday. We had about 18 inches of snow. DH did most of the shoveling but I did do some and surprisingly knocked me out. My Mom and brother both had close to 30 inches. I think everyone is hoping for Spring weather!

Today I cleaned and ran some errands.

Belinda - Sorry your appointment was cancelled. Good luck with your CT scan tomorrow. It's crazy how many things have been cancelled because of the weather this year. Will your DH have to stay overnight at the hospital for hip surgery? Great job with zoom dance & Pilates Happy Hips.

Cookie - I saw a few dog walkers today but they looked cold and were bundled up. You are brave to go outside:) I feel bad for my neighbor, he did his sidewalk and the snow plows kicked up snow on the whole path. That happened to me last year:( I feel better, DH is hanging in there, ds is visiting FL but coming home to pack and move next month.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did LMR 2 TB. Great workout. I also did Pilates foam roller. My appointment went well this morning. Now I have to wait for the results. Did anyone got a CT scan with contrast before? My throat and body burned for a min once the contrast goes through your heart. The radiologist told me it‘s normal.

Debbie - wow, you got a lot of snow. It passed us,TG! I am so ready for warmer weather. Thank you on the test today. Yeah, the weather impacted a lot of appointments. Glad you feeling better.

Cookie - thank you. I hope your rest come back quickly. I think Dh wants to get it over with the surgery. It‘s his 2nd hip replacement. Great job on your walk.

Great job on your workouts everyone.
 
'Evening! Managed to get in another walk and a lot of stairs today.

Deb, glad you're doing better. it is so unfair how the snowplows do that to driveways! Also, we go thru a lot o mailboxes from snowplows. That is a lot of snow.

Belinda, I don't blame your dh for wanting to get the surgery over. Hopefully, he'll be well on the way to recovery in order to enjoy spring weather. Yeah, the contrast does burn a bit.
 
Hi,

Today was lots of steps but no official walk. We babysat for a couple of hours today. Believe it or not we woke up to 2 more inches of snow. Luckily the sun melted it away by late afternoon:)

Belinda - Great job with LMR2 TB & Pilates. Happy to hear your test went well. I have heard the contrast does burn/hurt. I heard it is a better way of seeing the scan.

Cookie - Great getting in a walk & stairs today. I did a bunch of steps too because I was moving things around. We are lucky with the mailbox (one time) because it is very close to a street light.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I was live zoom dance plus live zoom Pilates Full body stretch. I needed that stretch.

Debbie - yikes on the snow. I am glad we don‘t have any. It‘s raining here. I had scans done with contrast before, they didn‘t burn. This one did.

Cookie - great job on your walk. It wasn‘t a little burn, my throat felt like it was on fire. I had scans done with contrast before, this one was different.

I will be back tomorrow.
 
'Evening! Today was a rest day. Really, I mean I took a nap! I haven't been sleeping well, and think maybe the lack of it caught up with me, but I feel worn out.

Deb, we had more snow also. Had a Zoom call with someone from S. Africa, who was oohing and ahhing over the snow visible through my window in the background. Guess I should be more thankful for what I have, but I'm tired of this snow, ice and cold.

Belinda, hope you recovered from the CT scan. You Pilates stretches sound wonderful.
 
Hi,

Today was LMR2 balance fusion it was perfect for a short low impact workout.

Belinda - Good job with zoom dance & Pilates stretch. I haven't heard the CT scan with contrast hurting that much. I wonder if you should mention it when you see the Dr.

Cookie - I needed a nap too, good that you took it:) It's funny how they enjoyed seeing the snow. I'm guessing if they had to shovel they might have 2nd thoughts;)

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today was live zoom dance and Pilates core.

Debbie - great job on LMR2 balance fusion. Glad you liked it. It was my thyroid (throat), I think all that iodine? It only burned for a minute. It‘s all good. I will mention it to my next dr appointment.

Cookie - thanks. I did recovery from my scan. It was only a minute burning like fire from my throat all the way down. Werdest feeling ever. Next time I know what to expect. Did you get a CT angio with contrast before? Sounds like a your body needed a rest. I hope you slept better too.

Good night.
 
Hi,

Today I went to the Dr. in NYC. It was so much walking. I will explain tomorrow what happened so tired and going to bed soon.

Belinda - Great job with Zoom dance & Pilates core. Maybe it was an isolated incident and all is good.

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Walk outside and Mobility for the back. I will wake up early to get my workout in for Monday. DH has an early morning hip replacement.

Debbie - I hope your Dr. Appointment went well. Can‘t wait to hear what happen.

Cookie - I hope all is well.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Yesterday went snowshoeing but later felt a wicked cold come on, so today was a rest day.

Deb, hope all is well.

Belinda, yes, with contrast. I remember it burning and not being at all pleasant. Hope your dh does well with his surgery.
 
Hi,

Today was a long walk & it was nice out. Yesterday I went to the Dr. in NY and took the train. It is usually a direct ride but because of a month long project you have to switch to the Path train. I get on the Path train and all of a sudden they announce in a panic to get off of the train. With that everyone starts running (a woman falls). I move aside and let them go. Apparently there was a fire on the tracks. It was scary but everyone was panicking. Now myself and everyone else have to figure another way to get to NY. I tried to take the ferry but the one I needed wasn't running till late afternoon. I ended up getting on a bus which as you can imagine was super crowded. Going home I took a ferry to the NJ train station. It was much better not crowded & actually a nice view/ride. I felt like a tourist.

I go back to the Dr. on Tuesday. He put me on high antibiotics and he wants to see if that will help.

Belinda - Good luck to your DH on Monday. How long is his recovery? It was a nice day for a walk & mobility.

Cookie - I hope you feel better, so much going around:( Snowshoeing sounds fun!

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! LMRE2 upper body. Still recovering from the cold, but much better than yesterday.

Deb, wow, that was some experience you had on Friday! Sure hope you won't have that again on Tuesday. Do you have to go into the city again then? Hope the meds are working.

Belinda, best of luck to your dh with surgery tomorrow. Since it is his second, guess he knows the routine. How was his recovery after the first? What did you think of the Mobility workout?
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. I ran some errands and made a sauce this weekend.

Belinda - Good luck to you and your DH tomorrow. Let us know how he is doing when you have a chance.

Cookie - Happy to hear you are feeling better. Great job with LMRE2 Upper body. I have to go on Tuesday. DIL just told us she is working from home as well as her co-workers because of the situation with Iran.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Surgery went well this morning. The surgery took around 90 min.DH is walk around and doing well.

I did managed to do Pilates mobility for the hips. Too tired to do anything else today

Debbie - I hope you got some well deserved rest. Yum on the sauce. Thank you for your kind words. He is doing well. Better than I expected.

Cookie - glad you feeling better today. Great job on your UB today. DH 2nd surgery recovery was quick compared this last one. After he come out of surgery they had him walk around. He is doing a lot better than his last hip replacement. You can‘t compare the 2 surgeries. He was awake after 2nd surgery, talking normal. His first surgery he had to stay in the hospital. He got an Epidural to num the lower half. DH didn‘t feel or remembered anything. He had an amazing surgeon and hospital team. The 2nd surgery was by far better than his first.

DD and I are super tired. Good night.
 
'Evening! LB today. Feeling better, not back to 100% but getting there.

Deb, good luck tomorrow. Hope the antibiotics are working and you're feeling better.

Belinda, glad to hear your dh is doing so well. That's amazing.
 
Hi,

Today was a short walk. We babysat for a few hours.

Belinda - Wow, it's amazing your DH's surgery was only 90 minutes. Happy to hear he is doing well. I'm sure it was a tiring day.

Cookie - Great job with LB. Great you are feeling better. I am feeling better, just very tired, took a nap after babysitting.

Goodnight:)
