I feel kinda guilty here with sunshine and cold but otherwise nice weather. didnt do anything yet today but will do some cardio shortly. there is a big football game here today that is monopolizing the news. not likely to get any "real" news today. Good to hear you are doing Ok so far Carolyn.

Carolyn I know too well! omg the hype is overwhelming. i'm not a sports fan. I used to be more interested, so I know reasonably well how the game is played etc. I just don't watch. I watch some of the Olympics but that's about the limit on sports for me. my husband doesn't watch it either.
the other thing is our neighbors love illegal fireworks, mostly the loud bombs. we dont need to watch TV to know if the Seahawks got a TD or if they won the game, it is loud!! (it must sound just like Minneapolis has lately). its fortunate the game is over pretty early so we dont need to lose sleep besides.
I did a long therapy session and then did the spin bike for 30 minutes. I watched cathes yoga workout and plan to do it soon. i am not sure but i dont see anything too hard in there.
so sorry Judy. if its dry fluffy snow that is at least pretty and good for sports if you do them, vs the freezing rain/sleet/ messy snow a lot of places are getting.

Yesterday I did a 30-minute Peloton ride and today I did # 571 Complete Upper Body & Live # 485 Weight Plate Abs. It looks like we got an additional 6 inches of snow today and we have another week of very cold temperatures coming.
Cathy-Great job with Live Metabolic Mix Up and Restorative Yoga. I hope you didn’t get too much snow today.
Carolyn-Great job with your walking, stretching and Jane Adams Gentle Yoga. I hope you don’t lose power.
Diane Sue-Great job with the Senior Shape workouts. I hope you did ok with the weather last night and today.
Valerie-Great job with the therapy work, upper body pyramids and spin.

Today I did a premix from Cardio Party. That was 29 minutes, 201 calories burned, average heart rate 133, and maximum heart rate 173. I modified some of the arm movements by keeping my arm lower to protect my wrist.
Valerie, it looks like your hometown team is going to the Super Bowl, so prepare yourself for more celebration! Great job with 30 minutes of spinning and the long therapy session.
Judy, great job with the 30 minute Peloton ride, Live Complete Upper Body, and Live Weight Plate Abs.

oh sigh................... the stupidbowl. I'm not enthused. I do my best to ignore it. the ads used to be funny and worth seeking out but the last few years they haven't been very clever. we usually plan something outdoors to take advantage of fewer people around if the weather is halfway decent.
we walked the local park this morning, 80 minutes. therapy coming up this afternoon. i haven't worn a back brace in long time now.
no one is complaining much so the storm must have less difficult than predicted for everyone here.
carolyn, I gave up the idea of ever doing cardio party. it looks like so much fun but too many left feet here. i like to watch it while I'm spinning or on treadmill. it never looks that hard but then I try to do it and its all over.

Yesterday I did STS2 Total Body Stretch. This morning I did Live Timesaver Step Groove and LITE Body Weight and Bands. Every time I think I might be able to go shop the forecast shifts. So I'll assess things every morning until it works. Schools were closed again today and maps were showing the roads around Lansing were bad. DH went locally and got bird seed and cat food, but we're still okay on food for now.
Valerie I've never been a big football fan, only ad I've caught so far is the Budweiser Clydesdale ad that's on social media. Those are usually good. Might try to catch the Puppy Bowl, too. Were you talking about the yoga mat workout from STS2. I really like that one better than the older ones. There's a chair yoga one too that's pretty good.
Carolyn I'm glad you kept your power. Do you have damage from the ice storm. I've seen some pictures that are so sad to look at, and areas where it will take a long time to recover.
Judy we didn't get 6", but probably at least 4". Looks like we won't even hit 20 for another week, and several night with below zero temps.

Saturday, I did a cardio and weights workout full body, 45 minutes, 164 calories, heart rate 100/141. Yesterday we went to see my new great grandbaby
Today I did CDorner Step 80's and 90's music, first half adding on the stretch, 31 minutes, heart rate 123/157, 2,358 steps. I spent too much time outdoors trying to remove snow off the patio, so the dog and I do not slip when we are in and out. Unfortunately our snow shovel went out to my daughter's garage. No one has one available. We thought we would stop at Tractor supply to get one when visiting grandbaby, but my son said he was already there and all of the snow stuff was gone. Hopefully I can get in some weight workout tomorrow. They changed my dentist appointment to tomorrow.
