Hardcore Fitness Maniacs October 2026

Hi,

Today I did a live zoom workshop dance class.

Diane - awwow..poor dog! Nice job on your step workout.

Roxie - glad you had fun. Vegas is a party town. Like you I liked the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon.

Good night.

This morning I did RAW Box & Pump 4 and had a great workout. Love this one. Fun workout and music.

Workout was 49 minutes, burned 349 calorie, did 3177 steps and HR was 127/160.

So MyChart has been down for days now and I still don't have my CT results. I guess I could call but I'll wait a couple more days, hopefully they will get it worked out soon.

Diane - This is the first CT scan I've had. It's to check for calcium in the arteries I guess. Hopefully it will come out ok. I think it's the Cleveland UH facility that is down, I'm not sure if it's nationwide. I don't think it is. I'm sure moving is a pain in the butt. I wouldn't like it at all. I can't even imagine moving with all the junk we've collected through the years. Yikes!! Great job on your workouts!!

Roxie - Sounds like a fun vacation. Me and my DH have wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, we really need to make plans to do that one of these years!!! Our weather has been beautiful!! We have never had such a wonderful fall.

Belinda - Great job with your workouts!!

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Hi,

Today I did JS Upper body plus 15 min stretch. I also walked outside.

Debbie - nicely done today.

Good night.
 
This morning I did RAW Kickbox 2 Pop Rock and had a great workout. Love this one and the music is good.

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 347 calories, did 2786 steps (which isn't accurate as I had to restart my watch for some stupid reason) and HR was 140/171.

Belinda - Good job on the stretch and walk!

Have a great day everyone!!

This morning I did RAW Strength 4 Cardio Acceleration and had a great workout. I really love these workout because I like doing a little light cardio between each strength move. This is fun but has no music in it so I played my own.

Workout was 32 minutes, burned 172 calories (not much), did 902 steps and HR was 106/132. My HR felt much higher than that.

I think my Garmin is on it's last leg. It is old and lately it has been doing some weird stuff. Also the band is irritating my wrist really bad, there is a bruised look to my wrist and it itches and bleeds. I have stopped wearing it at night and that does help. I think my wrist gets wet when I get ready in the mornings a in the evenings and it isn't drying. I need to be mindful of that. I have a bandaid on the spot right now. It is really weird.

Belinda - Great job with your workout yesterday!!

Have a great workout everyone!!

Good morning,

LMaR Upper Body Strength Back & Biceps is done. I really liked the workout. I will do a short stretch and a walk today.

Debbie - sorry about your watch. I think mine is on it’s last leg too. Mine isn’t that old. Good job with your workout.

I love this time of the year with the beautiful foliage. We have a huge tree in the back yard, it has red leaves. I took a picture yesterday before all the leaves are falling.

Monday and Tuesday I did not get in a workout. Today I did Lauren Anti Aging Strength, 21 minutes skipping the stretch, 80 calories. I followed with Elevate Upper Body, 47 minutes, 160 calories. Total time 68 minutes, 240 calories. I am trying to get the ground wet in front of my house so I can clean out the front planter next. I need to figure out what is plants and what is weeds and little trees popping up. I did the stuff along our long drive way and trimmed down rose bushes and thinned them out. They were up to the roof and terrible looking shape. Not getting in workouts, but am accomplishing some other stuff slowly.

Belinda, that is a beautiful color. Once we went out to an area where you drive the hills on winding roads and it is well known for the fall colors. It was beautiful. We used to have a house with a lot of color year round in the yard. The red leaf maple was always a favorite. Great job on LMR Upper Body Strength Back & Biceps. Is that the download that came with Elevated? I have only done those two times so far.

Debbie, nice work on Raw Strength #4 Cardio Acceleration. I like workouts that have a little cardio effect to them just in case I don't get in many workouts. Your reading on your Garmin is like my readings always are. I just don't worry about it all that much. I thought you got a second Garmin since I got my Garmin. Mine is a few years old now. I have replaced watch bands several times. Odd you mention your wrist. Mine has a brown spot where the light shines on it. I wear it day and night and just take it off most of the time when I shower. My daughter says that would be normal for that constant light to leave a spot on my skin like that.
 
This morning I did RAW Heavy Bag/Shadow Boxing with Kelly and her son Zac. Haven't done this one in a while and I still love it.

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 269 calories (way too low, WTH?), did 2626 steps and HR was 118/167.

Belinda - WOW!! Beautiful tree! We have some really pretty ones here but they are almost done with the colors. I want to plant a red leaf maple in our backyard but they are such slow growers. We figured we would be dead by the time it got to a good size. LOL!!

Diane - Nice job with your workout and all the outside work you are doing, that is a workout in itself! The spot is right where the watch band hook that hold the band down so it doesn't flop all over the place is where the spot is. I'm starting to think it isn't so healthy to wear these 24/7. At night I have been putting it on my right arm but that feels so weird. I'd like to leave it off at night but I use it as my alarm wake me up. I'm wondering if I just sit it on my dresser if I would hear it vibrate? I'll have to try that and have a backup alarm set on my phone just in case. Honestly, I don't really care what the watch reads anymore. It is nice to see how many steps I get in a day and what I burn with a workout, but lately I just don't care about all that stuff anymore. Is that age? Or burnout? LOL!!! This is the only Garmin watch I have had. It's ancient.

Jolie, Roxie and Roselyn - I hope you ladies are doing well. Check in when you have time!

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Today I did CDorner Halloween Cardio workout from 2025, 37 minutes, 269 calories, HR 144/163. I followed it with Lauren Chair Pilates 17 minutes, 42 calories. Total time 54 minutes, 311 calories.

Debbie, nice work on Raw Heavy Bag/ Shadow Boxing today. You got the same calories I did. My watch decided to have an update between my workouts. I suppose that is because my cell phone updated yesterday. Our watches are probably about the same age. I think I got mine first and you got yours not long afterward. I have one of my husband's Samsung watch that I thought I might play with sometime. I would have to get a shorter watchband. I still like my Garmin. I use it for monitoring blood pressure and sleep patterns as well as fitness.
 
Evening,

Today was live zoom dancing plus live zoom Pilates back strengthening.

So my permanent retainers broke again. I am getting frustrated. I have to call in the morning to see the orthodontist. 3rd time.

Diane - great job on your Halloween cardio workout + Chair Pilates today. Great job yesterday on Anti aging workout. Thank you. I love my red tree. We have an orange one in the front yard. Both trees are loosing leaves already. The tree came with the house, I have no idea how old it is? My neighbors always comment us on the tree in our back yard. According to them it’s been there a long time. I have no idea they grow that slow?

Debbie - thank you on the tree. I had no idea red mable trees crow that slow? the tree come with the house. We have a lot of fruit trees as well. The bugs getting to them before can. My next door neighbor picks peaches that reached in his yard. If he wants them we have plenty. Great job on your boxing workout today. I haven’t done boxing/kb in so long.

Good night.

Still continuing with some upper body work I did do a light leg day yesterday. My knee and hamstring are still battling each other so I'm praying something changes soon. My therapist had told me that battling the knee infection and now that the hamstring could take a long time to heal.

This morning I did RAW Megamix 3 again. Love this workout, it is fun and goes fast.

I did the 4 segments and then did all the boxing moves. Had a great workout.

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 225 calories, HR was 114/148.

Diane - My phone updated as well and my watch did too, but it did it when I wasn't doing anything important. I like my Garmin too, but getting tired of wearing it. Especially since it is irritating my wrist. :(

Belinda - OMG on your retainer. That is just ridiculous. I hope they don't charge you each time you go a get it fixed!!

Roselyn - That is just such an odd thing to deal with. I sure hope it gets better soon!!

Have a great Halloweenish weekend everyone!!!
 
Today I did LMR Lower Body Premix #1(I think) no step. I forgot that that one skips the standing band work that I like. I had it written on the old worksheet but started a new sheet since the other is full. This was 47 minutes(with some stops as it should be 37 ) 142 calories. Trying to be nice to my knees. The step I did Saturday with just the platform irritated my knee. Hoping the hyaluronic injection keeps helping.

Belinda, nice work on the zoom dancing and live zoom pilates class. Our front yard is one huge tree. Over the years looking at pictures they have removed second tree closer to the house and our back yard which is small has multiple trunks left from taking down trees. I am sure I will be raking leaves soon enough. Not much falling here after the long hot summer. The tree covers so much we are missing a lot of grass. My daughter has lots of fruit trees. The deer enjoy them. Sorry about your permanent retainer. It doesn't sound very permanent if it breaks.

Debbie, good job on Mega Mix 3 again. Maybe a different band would help? I got a leather one I wore for a long time. They do not hold up so well with sweat though. My last two have two loops to hold the band down from flopping around. I do get a little dig on my wrist by the buckle though.

Roselyn, nice job on light leg work. It seems like recovering a problem like that takes a long time. I am sorry it is being difficult.
 
Evening,

No workout to report today. DH and I went to DD’s condo to help get it ready for next week. The painter is coming Monday. The movers came yesterday to pick up most of her stuff, except some things to stage the condo. I am glad when it’s over. DD and I really couldn’t do much today, we got our nails done, lol. My appointment with the orthopedist wasn’t until late afternoon. We had hardly any time to do anything in the condo. DH and SIL they put in a new backsplash, which turned out beautiful. DD birthday is tomorrow, we are celebrating her birthday in Georgetown. She wants to go “bummeln“ in German a little shopping, lol.

I got my lingual repaired today. The tech replaced and used a longer wire, hopefully that will work better. In the future I know what to do in case I am on vacation and this happens. She said usually it happens for the wire to break on top not on the bottom. She used a different glue a stronger one. Fingers crossed it will last longer than a month.

Debbie - I was so frustrated last night. I am so glad it got fixed at no extra charge. I was offered a lifetime plan in case anything happens with my nighttime Invisalign retainer. They fix my lingual at no extra charge and order new night retainers. I agree, it’s a pain in my butt. Fingers crossed this one will last.

Diane - sound like your daughter has an amazing yard. Like I said, we didn’t get much fruit. We haven’t seen dears in our yard, we saw a fox in our security camera. He lives in our neighborhood. We do see dears up on the main road, not so much in our neighborhood. We do see a lot on the golf course when we walk Sadie. I totally agree, my retainers don’t sound so permanent. I am just happy they fixed. I couldn’t eat last night. I was so afraid to swallow the wire, lol.

Good night.
