Deanna - Hope you feel better soon!

Belinda - Nice job with your workout!

Roselyn - Great workouts!! I tried doing BB again but I can't take the men-talk. I did one workout and it drove me crazy. Too bad, to, because that is a great series.

Diane - Great job with your workout, glad you got a good stretch in. Interesting how they have yoga for the condition you have, that is pretty cool.

Looking forward to Thanksgiving and having a few days off. Hope you all have a great day!!

Good morning,

I am getting RMR Metabolic Test done this afternoon. You can‘t exercise 14 hours prior to the test. I may take a rest day today or if I have time I will workout this evening.

Good Evening,

I did Raw Heavy Bag Heavy Weights got a good calorie burn but didn’t feel as good as my walks I really need to get up and get my workouts in the next couple of weeks will be crazy at work. I start fittings for the expensive contacts on the 11th the ones she gave me aren’t working.

Debbie-as far as I know my parents didn’t have this but my dad died when he was 54 so it’s possible. It may also be Keratoconus I need to ask again.

This morning I wanted to work my abs and boy, did I! I started with RAW Box a Better Waistline and really concentrated on contracting my abs. Love this one. I wore my 3# ankle weights but didn't use my Egg Weights. This is a fun workout.

Then I did STS 2 Standing Metabolic Core workout which I love as well. I used a 5# plate and a 10# plate for this workout. My abs were on fire by the time I was finished.

Workout was 43 minutes, burned 352 calories, did 2195 steps and HR was 140/172.

Belinda - I hope your test went well. What was that done for?

Roxie - Great job with Heavy Bag and Weights. I want to do a heavy bag workout this weekend while I have the time to do one. I love those workouts. Yes, just let me know when you figure out what eye issue you have. I don't know why, but I am so curious. I guess because my mom has had eye challenges and is now almost blind. I find myself trying to find ways to prevents such things from happening although I'm not a doctor by no means. But there has to be supplements that can help. And since my mom has macula, I'm pretty sure I will have it as well. So I'm just curious.

Jolie - You need to try the Box for a Better Waistline - it's a great workout!

I'm not sure if I'm working out tomorrow or not. I want to but I know how it goes when a holiday is here. So I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and I will be back for sure on Friday!!

Good morning,

I got up early to get my workout in. I did JS TB and SBF UB/stretch.

The test was interesting. You can‘t eat before taking the Rest Metabolic Rate test. I found out I am not eating enough food. I am trying to lose some weight. She has me eating at 1549 cal a day. Hopefully that will kick my metabolism in gear.

Debbie - the test was to see how much food I can eat in a day and to lose some weight. Ever since I was on high doses of steroids, I gained a few pounds. I am trying to lose that weight. It‘s coming off, but very slowly. I am tracking my food again on MFP to make sure I am hitting my daily intake. She thinks I am not eating enough food. If I lose more than 10 pounds/or gain weight , the have to take the test again.Great job this morning.

I am getting my hair done. Going to lunch with DD. BBl

I have not worked out all week due to a really bad cold! Why do I get this every year right at this holiday. I think a lot of it is allergies and it has wiped me out. Saturday last week I walked for 4 miles and Sunday I did CL All In Upper Body and then nothing else. I will start back up on Friday because I am starting to feel better, but I am very tired. Great job with the workouts this week everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow, don't eat too much I only have a salad, since I was about 14 years old, and I am good with that option. I never feel full or overstuffed and that is the kind of food that I enjoy. I might pick up a sushi roll and have that too. We are BBQing and making Filets with mashed potatoes, hot crab dip and Caesar Salad with avocado. I hope you all have the best day with your families and enjoy your day off from work!

Have a great day. I will go back and read your posts from this past week.

Good Morning,

I went a got blood drawn to see if my cholesterol medication is working then I walked on the Treadmill for 50 minutes. We have an older couple in our neighborhood who walk everyday no matter what the weather and it’s really cold out, I asked them once how far they walk they said 5 to 6 miles.

Yesterday I did CDorner Hight Intensity Step #434 no breakdown basic step, 27 minutes, 155 calories, heart rate 145/182, 2,709 steps. I also did Flow with Mira, Thoracic Spine Mobility, 26 minutes, 33 calories. I finished with Jessica Smith 15 minute Fix Total Body, 16 minutes, 72 calories. This was quick paced and very light weight. I took a day off from the back pod because of time restraints. I got a lot of the upper back and rib work in Mira's Thoracic Spine.
My husband and I are getting some things done around the house and Christmas stuff out so short on time. Today we had to return Christmas lights from Amazon that was missing the timer. They replaced them overnight, so we had to make a trip to UPS, then we went out to eat, came home and decorated our pine tree in the front yard. Boy was it windy and cold!! Anyway I did CDorner Thigh Burner with Booty Bands, heavy fabric band, 31 minutes, followed by the back pod and then CDorner mobility challenge day 12 upper body stretch. That is it. I am working between MFP and My Net Diary since each has different special features. My Net Diary tracks, makes suggestions and e mails me results at the end of each week. I have not joined the premium in either, but MyNetDiary is a lot less costly at 59.99 per year of 8.99 a monthy.
I have tried upping calories and yesterday I was 100 lbs. I am getting sort of distressed over it. Trying to keep it healthy and still getting between 1900 and 2000 calories in. You would think my shorter workouts and rest time would leave me gaining weight!. Looking forward to Cathe's workouts getting here.

Belinda, that is interesting on the RMR test results. I generally have been eating in the calorie range you are supposed to eat. Nice Job on JS Total Body and SBF Upper Body Stretch. I hope your day was pleasant with your daughter and getting your hair done.

Debbie, nice work on yesterday's STS 2 Upper Body 2, and today's Box a better waistline and STS2 Standing Metabolic Core. I think about those workouts and cringe on how my ribs would feel. I did get some core blended into Mira's workout yesterday. The same with her Spine one which she did a lot of work with the transverse abdominals.

Jolie, sorry you have not been feeling well. I have year round allergies. I have made some changes that seem to be helping. Allergy meds just do not work for me. I recently came across Integrative ALLQLEAR quail egg powder for seasonal support. I am on my second bottle. My allergies have been so much better. That and staying well hydrated. Moist air helps in the shower with the itchy airways. I want to get a personal humidifier. NIce work on the walk and CL all in upper body. We already had Thanksgiving last week and have been eating ham and turkey leftovers. Well, I ate ham as I am not a fan of turkey. We went out to eat today and I had a steak at Chili's with the potatoes and broccoli. Then we shared cheesecake. So I guess that was our Thanksgiving meal.

Roxie, nice job on the 50 minute treadmill walk. Those are really dedicated people to walk even when it is freezing cold. It was so windy and cold when we were putting up decorations. The weather just started turning really cold. I finally gave in and turned on the furnace. I still had it set for cooling.

Roselyn, good job on Body Beast legs and back and biceps.

Have a nice thanksgiving!
