Playing catch up. Since the repairmen got behind and rescheduled for tomorrow still no washer. Taking laundry to my parents again. I’m leaving for my trip Saturday and not overly confident it’ll be working before then. So, when I get home tomorrow I’m going to pack for the trip and then try to make it through the week. I can at least do laundry at my sisters if I need things.
Friday I did LMR2 Cardio twice through, then Live Fast and Fierce Upper Body. Saturday I did Live Step Express with Blasts. While it definitely kept my heart rate up it was rather repetitive for my taste. Today I did Live Glorious Glutes. This one has a good variety of exercises. Moving back and forth between weight, firewalker loop and gliding discs and LMR Restorative Yoga.
hoping to get a mobility workout in tomorrow. I have a 7:15 appointment for fasting blood work, and I’m going to my parent.
Valerie I’m glad your crash wasn’t bad enough to hurt you.

too bad the washer wasn't an instant fix. at least you have close by family to share appliances. hope you can scoot by without spending half the cost of a new washer.
my crashes are not usually anything horrific. i don't do left turns well, especially tight ones. this was almost hairpin. i fell sideways but got my foot down first and sort of sat down in place. untangled and finished the section. no spectacular "big air" crashes for me! its weird how right turns are so much easier.
my back is definitely not better, hip is about the same which is not great but workable so far. i did a 15 min spin and then upper body weights this afternoon for about an hour total after we worked in the garden for a while. DH is great at shoveling and yanking out all the ground cover plants that have taken over. we moved some things including some big bushes. its gotten very overgrown, and i was too timid to start it myself because it gets pretty heavy and right now i cant do heavy. i wish i were that strong but I'm not.

Cathy, great job with LMR 2 Cardio, Live Fast and Fierce Upper Body,
Live Step Express with Blasts, and Live Glorious Glutes. I hope that your washer is fixed soon.
Valerie, I’m glad that you didn’t hurt yourself when you fell.

Hi all. There have been better Mondays than this. I tried to do a mail merge in InDesign, but the idiot data guy who provided the list had linked the addresses to an external source. Not a particularly bright thing to do. It locked up my computer. I figured out what had happened, and long story short, what should have taken ten minutes took three hours to do.
No workouts this weekend. I'm going to have to play catchup with personals later. Sorry about that! I hope everyone has a good day.

Saturday, I did a 30-minute Peloton Power Zone Endurance ride and 30 minutes of easy cool down rides. Yesterday I did 20 minutes of stretching and mobility work and 10 minutes of upper body strength. Today I did a 45-minute walk with my husband.
