Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today was a upper body at the gym. It was really hot out but the a/c felt good.

Belinda - Great to hear dd's surgery went well, praying with you for good results. It seems like hospitals are so tiring. Great job with dance class & Pilates.

Cookie - You sure are busy but with good things:) Great job with Cathe yoga fusion. GS likes when the kids come & pet Penne and he joins them. I try and do zoom yoga once a week (she zooms 2x a week).

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I did another dance. My dance instructor is on vacation until next week. I am trying to catch up on dances I missed. I also did seated Pilates with the pilates ball.

Debbie - thank you. Hospitals are very trining. I did ended up taking a 30 min walk outside. Great job on your upper body at the gym.

Hi Cookie.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Did upper body shoulders and back today.

Deb, one of our dogs can get a quite anxious around little kids. Glad Penne doesn't. Nice job w/upper body!

Belinda, glad to hear the surgery went well, and am sending lots of positive thoughts on the test results. Hospitals are exhausting! Good idea doing dances you have missed.
 
Hi,

Today was a full day of babysitting. My DS started his new job with different hours so we needed to switch things around. We went to the park early but it still was very hot. We didn't bring Penne because it would have been too much for her.

Belinda - Great job with dance & Pilates ball. There is a older gentlemen at the gym who practices ballroom dancing in the room I use to exercise in. He really enjoys it and says it keeps him in good shape as he is getting older.

Cookie - Great job with Upper body shoulders and back. Will you have guests this weekend? We were supposed to go to a family reunion this Saturday in NY but it was cancelled due to rain.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Pilates/Yoga workout today. The sky is completely grey and air quality is really bad.

Deb, good thing you're able to switch things up. How is the sky and air quality by you? Had to look at weather prediction for this weekend - thanks, didn't realize we're supposed to have rain. We're also supposed to have visitors. Maybe that will change?

Belinda, how are you doing? Thinking of you and your family.
 
Hi,

Today was a lower body workout at the gym. There was an accident and it took me 40 minutes to get there. The sky was overcast and the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was around.

Belinda - I hope all is well.

Cookie - Great job with Pilates/yoga today. Sunday is supposed to be good now, just Saturday rain/storms. The air isn't good, I avoided going outside, can't be healthy. Hopefully it passes soon.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. We met up with DS/DIL for dinner last night. They left this morning.

I did a dance workout and Pilates yesterday. Today I will do another dance and stretch.

Debbie - dancing is good for coordination. Great job on your workouts. I hope everyone was okey from the accident.

Cookie - we suppose to get rain here too this weekend. We went shopping in GeorgeTown, it was so hot. Thank goodness we didn’t stay long. You can’t go outside.

I will be back later.
 
'Afternoon! Bis and Tris today. Met a friend for lunch, and had a wonderful time catching up. The air here is also bad. Even woke up with a sinus headache from it. I feel really bad for folks more impacted.

Deb, looks like rain for us tomorrow and into early Sunday. How long does it normally take you to get to the gym? Going out to dinner tonight?

Belinda, it must have been a rather hectic time the past few days. How have you managed to get your workouts in?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk at the gym & babysitting. We are going out to dinner tonight.

Belinda - Great job with dancing. It must have been a nice day seeing your ds & dil.

Cookie - Great job with bi's & tris. It must have been fun meeting a friend for lunch and catching up. The air here wasn't too bad. It does seem worse in some areas. DIL has an app that gauges each town.

Have a great weekend:)
 
Hi,

Today I started STS again. I am leaving for a mother/daughter getaway to Miami in August for a few days. DH and Sadie will join a few day’s later, I will stay another week in Miami. I wouldn’t finish M3 on time, I decided to start today. I will be done in no time with M3.

Today I did M3 W1 D25 Chest & Back = 78 min. I am loving the longer rest. I do a few laps around my gym, lol.

Debbie - great job on your walk and babysitting. I hope you enjoy your dinner last night. It was nice day seeing DS/DIL plus my DD/fiance. DS/DIL plus her sister work for DD. They here for a work event.

Cookie - it’s easy getting my workouts in when DS/DIL visiting. They usually on work calls during my workouts. Great job on your Tricpes/biceps workout. It’s fun catching up with friends. I been having sinus issues,it’s from the bad air outside.

Have a wonderful Saturday.
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day & we babysat for a couple of hours at night so DS & DIL could go out to dinner.

Belinda - Great idea to start STS M3 and get it in before your vacation. M3 was one of my favorites, liked the longer rest times too. It sounds like you will have lots of fun in Miami.

Cookie - Hopefully not too much rain by you. We had lots of rain.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did another dance workout.

Debbie - how sweet of you to babysat so your DS/DIL can get a break. I am trying to finished M3 before I leave next month. Miami is a lot of fun, looking forward spending some time with my daughter.

Cookie - hope you have a relaxing weekend.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Yesterday was a yoga/Pilates workout. World Cup yesterday and today, which I'm counting as a workout. It's tiring being a fan - I notice my foot will move to help them kick, holding my breath, and then celebrating. It's a workout.

Deb, you and your dh win parents of the year with your babysitting! That's very generous of you.

Belinda, glad you had a nice time with your family visiting, and you must be looking forward to the upcoming mother-daughter trip. Such fun.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, it actually was nice with a breeze.

Belinda - Great job with dance. Does your DD get married in the Fall?

Cookie - Great job with yoga & pilates. I saw parts of today's game, it must have been frustrating that it was 0-0 and needed to go to overtime. Some of the teams have been training in the area (in the Jets training facility) which is 10 minutes away me. There have been player sightings in town as well.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

STS Squat Rack Legs D37 is done. I can’t believe how much strength I have gained already.

Debbie - great job on your walk outside. Yes, DD is getting married in September.

Cookie - great job on your yoga/pilates. I am looking forward to Miami with DD.

Have a great day and workout.

'Evening! Must have tweaked my hand/wrist this weekend so took a rest day today. Think it happened with using a cookie scoop! Guess making a lot of cookies isn't a good idea. Did get in a walk.

Deb, yes, nice weather is great! I think most of the games in this Cup went to extended time. We dislike when it is decided on penalty shots, so we were very glad it didn't go to that. That must have been exciting to see some of the players right in the neighborhood.

Belinda, a fall wedding will be beautiful! Hope your dd is feeling well. How long have you been doing the sts rotation?
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. We had to go to NY so a lot of the day was traveling.

Belinda - Great job with Squat Rack Legs D37. It's great you are feeling strength gains. STS is a great program for that. It's like you will have a bachelorette party with dd:)

Cookie - It's funny how we hurt ourselves doing ordinary things. Cookies sound good though. It seems like this year the World Cup was so popular with watch parties all over.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

I ended up going to the eye doctor. DH insisted I get seen. I have a clogged oil glance. She wants me to dry to put very warm compresses on the site to see if it will go away on its own. If it doesn’t go away in a few weeks, she has to drain it. My Dh ended up in the ER afterwards, he was feeling very sick. We spent most day in the ER. Everything is fine with his heart, they think maybe vertigo. They are not sure? Very fun day. I had all intentions to get a live dance workout in.

Debbie - I am surprised on my gain, considering I started out with every light weights. I did slowly increased it each week. LOL, DD and I will have a lot of fun. She needs it. I hear you on a lot of driving.

Cookie - DD needs a 3rd surgery :( I feel so bad for her. I been doing STS for over 2 months, I am in M3 Week 1 D37. I will finish week one tomorrow, then move into week 2. So sorry you hurt your wrist, it only takes one wrong move. Great Jo’s on your walk.

Good night
 
Hi,

Today was a lower body workout at the gym & some walking. We had bad storms & power surges but TG power stayed on. We also had tornado watch but luckily it was a few towns over and no one was hurt.

Belinda - You had a busy day, happy to hear you are both doing well. My DH gets vertigo too, it makes him dizzy and they did check his heart as well. He takes Bonine when he feels it coming on. Sorry to hear your DD needs another surgery. The Miami trip will be great to relax & winddown for the both of you.

Cookie - I hope the storms weren't too bad by you.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Tried a indoor cardio wo today but now my foot is all swollen again. Geez, you would think I would know better by now...

Deb, we had heavy rain on and off all day and rolling thunder. Glad you didn't get tornado, and hope those who did are alright.

Belinda, nice gains with STS. Your poor dd. How is she dealing with everything going on? Sorry to hear about your eye and your poor dh! You sure are having a run of very bad luck.
