Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today was a rest day. Last night when we came home my stomach didn't feel 100% by early morning I was in the bathroom not feeling great. I took it easy and felt better to go with DH to babysit gs this evening.

Belinda - Tuesday isn't too long away for your follow-up. Great you are taking it easy and doing exercises he prescribed and light Pilates. It sure was hot and humid here for walking.

Cookie - It sure was hot and humid here for walking. Thunderstorms rolled in tonight and cooled it off. How was your play?

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Took a rest day. Have company and it was hard to get it in.

Deb, glad you're doing better. Do you think it might have been heat related? We hiked 10 miles yesterday, and the heat was a lot. Think that's why I didn't mind a rest day today. You get to spend a lot of time with your gs. Lucky you and him! We had thunderstorms this evening, and they were pretty loud. Cooled off some.

Belinda, sure hope you're resting today.
 
Hi,

I did some stretching for my neck plus Pilates stretch. I reviewed the Pilates before I started it, it was perfect nice little stretch.

Debbie - I hope you feel better today. The meds my doctor gave me, they knock me out. I slept 10 hours last night, lol. I can’t get out of bed, I am too tired. Hopefully tomorrow I get up on time for a walk. It’s so hot outside.

Cookie - I am relaxing plus doing my stretches I am suppose to do for my neck/back. It has to be hard with all your visitors. I hope you get a break soon.

See you all torrow.
 
'Evening! Managed a 6 mile walk today and went to see Moulin Rouge.

Deb, was today a sauce Sunday?

Belinda, glad you're resting and doing the stretches. Just what the doctor ordered his good patient!
 
Hi,

Today was a leg day at the gym. I was doing yard work today and bringing some small twigs and debris to the woods and a deer was just sitting their watching me. I was surprised it didn't even get scared.

Belinda - Wow, it must be strong meds but it must feel good to sleep so well. Great you are reviewing the workouts first. The stretching probably feels good too.

Cookie - Lots of walking & hiking for you:) I saw Moulin Rouge a long time ago, would love to see it again. It wasn't a sauce day I was lucky to have a couple more frozen.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I waked outside this morning and did my stretches. Tomorrow I have a follow up appointment, I hope I am clear to my regular exercises.

Debbie - It did feel good to get a good night sleep. Those meds are strong. Yeah, I review all my Pilates workouts making sure I can do them. Luckily the instructor shows modification. Stretching feels good. How are you feeling? Aww…that is so cute the deer was watching you.

Cookie - great job on your walk. The heat isn’t getting to you? I saw Moulin Rouge a long time ago, enjoy it.

I will be back tomorrow. Hopefully I can start STS again.
 
'Evening! Another walk today. Trying to get some distances in before the weather gets even warmers. We're planning on doing another Camino in September, so trying to prep. Also did Essentrics.

Deb, more members of your fan club! Sometimes I think the deer are very bold. They've come right up to our windows and looked in. Once I was doing a Zoom meeting, turned to look and it was a deer just the other side of the window glass.

Belinda, great job on prewatching the videos! Hopefully all goes well tomorrow at the doctors. STS is pretty tough - the dr may give approval but not realize what a challenge it is!
 
Hi,

Today was a walk, it was beautiful, wishing for longer stretches in the 70's:) We babysat but the next door neighbor has off on Mondays & takes his motorcycle for a ride during the babies nap. It's actually our nap too;) but it startles all of us and the baby wakes up crying with too short a nap.

Belinda - I hope you get good news tomorrow. I wonder if he will want you to continue the stretches. Good luck tomorrow. I am feeling much better.

Cookie - It's perfect time to get your walks in, the temps are climbing in a few days. Are there a lot of Camino routes/hikes? The deer are even friendlier by you:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

My follow up appointment went well today. Neck is still bordering me, otherwise I am doing well. Doc thinks it will take a while for everything to heal. He recommended PT ,which I am doing at home with an app my Rheumatologist gave me. Hopefully I will be back next week lifting weights.

I did Pilates shoulders/legs/core. I am so glad she shows modifications for osteoarthritis. Works perfectly for me.

My DD is getting surgery tomorrow. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I will accompany her to the hospital.

Debbie - glad you feeling better. Yes, he wants me to keep stretching. Good job on your walk. Sorry your neighbor woke everyone up. LOL, I am napping lately too. Those meds knock me out.

Cookie - great job on your walk and today was perfect for a walk. LOL, you are right my doctor has no clue how tough STS is.

Good night.
 
Took a rest day from walking today and did a yoga workout. Didn't sleep well last night. An owl was hooting and that got one of the dogs going, and so it went for hours...

Deb, ugh, that neighbor's motorcycle during naps is aggravating. Not getting a rest is tough. Love that you take a nap while the baby is also. We're going to NJ on Thursday to babysit! I'm actually looking forward to getting up early in order to be there. DH doesn't want to go down tomorrow and spend the night. Thinks we've been away from the dogs too much lately.

Belinda, good news from your doctor. good thing you're already doing some PT. I'll be thinking of your dd tomorrow. You sure have had a lot lately.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside. I also did some weeding and planting flowers, but the weeding hurt my knees. I wanted to do upper body but that was enough;)

Belinda - My thoughts and prayers will be with your DD tomorrow. Good that your follow-up went well. Great you can do PT on the app and do Pilates. How much longer do you have to take the meds?

Cookie - This may have been the last of good walking weather here until next week.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I did Pilates Strength: For Upper Body (weights) - Live Recording May 21st. I used very light weights.

Debbie - thank you! I stopped taking the meds yesterday, they make me so tired. I can’t function. Great job on your walk. Sorry wedding hurt your knees, it’s tough doing it on your knees.

Cookie - yes, it’s good news. I been doing PT since last week, doctors orders. Thank you! I am glad when DD surgery is over. That yoga must felt good after all that walking you been doing.

I will try to be back later.
