Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today was a full body workout. I only did 3/4 of the workout and the fire alarms went off at the gym. It turned out to be nothing but since we needed to wait outside I ended up leaving. We are going out to dinner tonight, the storms just stopped.

Have a great weekend:)
 
Good evening,

I had an appointment with my rheumatologist today. My knees are swollen, he gave me steroids shots in both knees. He also changed my medication for RP. I am always nervous. I was warned about it, what made me think it was good for my stomach. I had a lot of fluid in my knee. I am waiting for the results.

I did STS M3 D34 chest and back plus Pilates core.

Debbie- great Jo job on X train Supercuts and gym workout at the gy. Glad the alarm turned to be nothing. I didn’t order a few designer dresses from NY. Fingers crossed one will look good and fit.

Good night

Hi,

Today was a walk at the gym, it's just too hot & humid to walk outside. We also babysat for a couple of hours.

Belinda - Great job with STS M3 D34 chest & back plus Pilates core. I hope the new medicine works out for you & the steroid shots bring you relief. My fingers crossed one of the dresses will workout for you.

Cookie - I'm hoping you get to relax this weekend, after your work trip.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

Sorry I didn’t check in yesterday, we went to Richmond, VA to meet up with my future son in laws parents. We went out for lunch with them, afterwards DD and fiancé we went shopping. It was so hot outside, we didn’t stay long. We had lots of laughs and fun. We got home late last night.

Today I will do STS M3 W4 D36 Legs. My last leg workout. I will try to finish STS tomorrow.

Debbie - great job on your walk outside. I agree, it was hot and humid yesterday. Thank you! Knees feeling a little better today. One of the dresses I ordered, I love. Yesterday I got 3 more dresses in the mail. I will make my final decision today. Now I have to look for shoes, lol.

Hi Cookie.

I will be back later. Need more coffee.
 
'Evening! It was one heck of a week - travel for work with lots of meetings and then a family reunion, which was the past few days. Very nice! We had a lot of fun, and I should be sore from talking and listening so much. All that people skills can be a workout!

Deb, it has been so humid the past few days. Yeterday we had three separate drenching thunderstorms! Saw one of my great-nephews, and he's about 1.5 years old. Thought of you and your gs.

Belinda, a dress!!! So exciting! Glad you've found at least one. Was this our first time meeting your dd's future in-laws?
 
Hi,

I did my last STS workout today. I finished strong. I am so happy I made it all the way through. I am definitely stronger. Looking forward to a rest week. I will have spent some time with my DD in Miami starting on Wednesday. DH and Sadie will come down to Miami on Saturday, we will stay another week. Looking forward to it. My dance instructor will also be in Miami, we are taking a live class with her on Thursday :) That should be fun.

Debbie - what did you end up doing today? It’s so humid here too. Too hot and humid to walk.

Cookie - I actually had 3 dresses that fit nicely. I had 3 others come on Saturday, the box was torn/wet. I took pictures. I will sent them all back. I already contacted the company, sent lots of pictures. Those dresses were very expensive, I am surprised without a signature they just left the box on the porch. I had to sign for all the other dresses. Yes, it was our first time meeting the future in laws. They are very nice. We had a lot of fun. Hopefully you will get a break from traveling so much. DD travels constantly .

Good night.
 
Hi,

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I walked at the gym & went to 2 Farmer's Markets. Today was a lower body at the gym. I needed to help DH out with some things and it took a lot of the day.

Belinda - Great you finished STS it must be a nice feeling. You will need the rest week. How awesome you will meet your dance instructor & take a class. It must be exciting that you found a dress!!

Cookie - I'm sure it was tough being on a work trip and than a family reunion. Family reunions are so much fun but very tiring. You must have made lots of memories:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I did 2 live zoom dance classes today.

I am still packing my suitcase, I always overpack. This time I will only bring what I need and do laundry.

Debbie - nice job on your walk and lower body. I am sure your DH appreciated your help. Yes, I am excited to spent some mom/daughter time and meet my instructor in person. I returned all the other dresses today, I sure don’t want to forget about them. One dress is enough.

Hi Cookie.

I will do some Pilates tomorrow morning, than heading to the airport. BBL

'Evening! Had a massage this evening, so didn't have time to workout. Yesterday went to NJ to babysit (be bossed around by) my granddaughter.

Deb, sounds like a lot of steps on Sunday. Were your legs tired after all the walking and lb yesterday?

Belinda, congrats on getting a dress. Enjoy Miami! That will be so nice to meet your dance instructor in real life.
 
Hi,

Today was yoga. We are going to the beach for the day tomorrow. Hopefully not too much traffic.

Belinda - Great job with 2 live zoom dance classes. How are your knees feeling & the new meds? Safe travels tomorrow.

Cookie - A massage sounds wonderful. I have a gift card for a facial I have until November to use it. LOL on your granddaugher being bossy. My SIL says her granddaughter is bossy with everyone:)

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Essentrics today. Tried a short walk today but guess my leg and foot just aren't up to it yet.

Deb, hope you had a great time at the beach. Have you had a facial before? I haven't had one in a very long time, probably about time for me to look into that. Told my dil it is leadership capabilities!

Belinda, hope you're having a great time.
 
Hi,

It was a nice day at the beach. They are building a pier on the beach so it was somewhat noisy but not as bad as it could have been. I guess people knew about the construction, because the beach wasn't crowded. If we go again this year may try another beach.

Belinda - I hope all went well with your travels today, have fun.

Cookie - Great job with Essentrics. Maybe your foot just needs some more rest. I have had a facial, just don't let them do any squeezing. I really don't like that. Your dil is right:)

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today DD and I took 2 live in person belly dance classes. My instructor made us dance right next to her in front of the camera. It was a lot of fun doing in person classes. She said my form is very good. We started learning a new dance routine. My brain had to switch over, we are on the opposite side when we do live zoom classes. Afterwards my teacher and us went out for lunch. We chatted and laughed for hours. We had a great experience. Tomorrow DD and I will take another in person class.

I will try to catch up on personal tomorrow. We are staying at an AirBnB right on the beach. We can’t get into the condo. There is something wrong with the computer system. We constantly have to have security open our door to the condo. It’s very annoying.

Debbie- the flight was delayed by 20 min. We caught Miami traffic to the condo. Great job on your workout. I am like you on facials.

Cookie - great job on Essentric. Please rest. Besides getting locked out, we are having a blast
 
Hi,

Today was Cathe Killer Legs. I also ran a bunch of errands. It was nice out.

Belinda - The dance classes sound like a lot of fun. It was a nice compliment from the dance instructor. It is great you are getting to do it with DD. It's like a Roadtrip for the 2 of you:) Hopefully they can fix the computer system. Enjoy your trip!

Cookie - I hope this was an easier week for you, but at least Friday is almost here.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Yoga today. Quiet day with work but beautiful weather-wise.

Deb, yes, I hate the squeezing also. Plus it is gross! at least the beach wasn't too crowded.

Belinda, glad you are having such a great time.
 
'Afternoon! Burn sets: Chest, back and shoulders done. Going to see Black Coffee, an Agatha Christie play. I've never read the book, so looking forward to it.

Deb, thanks, I'm looking forward to a quieter weekend with only day visitors. I haven't done Killer Legs in a long time, almost forgot about it. Do you follow a rotation or how do you decide what to do?

Belinda, Deb's right - a road trip for you and your dd! Excellent report on your form! Nice job. Hope you're having a great time again today.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & core work. Tomorrow I am leaving early with my SIL to get together with friends from the neighborhood we grew up in. Looking forward to it.

Belinda - Are their a lot of students in the live dance classes?

Cookie - Great job with yoga & Burn sets: Chest, back & shoulders. It sounds like a good play. It's nice for you to enjoy a quieter weekend with day visitors. I try to do 2 upper & 2 lower body workouts and one yoga class. It doesn't always work out that way LOL.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Essentrics today. Eldest ds came out to visit and had a pleasant, quiet afternoon. Started making gd Halloween costume. We'll see if I get it done in time - have a lot of travel days between now and mid-Sept when leave for Spain again.

Deb, great plan. Thanks, I may try to use it, onlly w/o lb since that seems to be off the table for a while longer. Made sauce today and thought of you.

Belinda, hope you're having a fantastic weekend with your dd. And dancing!
 
Hi,

It was a nice day with friends, but very long. The beach was nice and catching up was good. I will sleep well tonight:)

Belinda - I'm sure you are enjoying your trip.

Cookie - Great job with Essentrics. Nice that you had a visit with your ds. It is great you will make gd her Halloween costume. One of these days I will take out the sewing machine I bought many years ago. My plan was to learn to use it for minor alterations;)

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Bis and Tris today, and mine are fried! Beautiful day here, managed a kayak ride.

Deb, my family knows I'd rather make something than mend anything! Wish I did know how to make alterations. Lovely day at the beach with friends - can't ask for much more. Glad you had a chance to enjoy it and hope you did sleep well.

Belinda, hope you and your dd are having a wonderful time and enjoying the time together.
