I have been so busy. I don't think I checked the computer at all yesterday. I have to do a fast house clean and run errands because tomorrow is full. Yesterday I did my therapy exercises and Fit Tower Advanced legs glutes and core Timesaver 1 legs and glutes (skipped the hands and knees part) 51 minutes total time 125 calories. Today I did Kelly Coffey Cardio Quick Fix #2 met 8.0, 212 calories, 31 minutes, heart rate average 143, max 168, 2,878 steps. I then did Raw Abs Finisher eliminating the overhead moves with the 8# dumbbell, 19 minutes, met 4.0, 176 steps, 65 calories. I finished with physical therapy exercises and some lower body stretching, 27 minutes, 40 calories. Total time was 77 minutes, 317 calories. Tomorrow, I will have to do something short as I have ladies game day that starts at 9 and will be running straight home to get to physical therapy at 1. We often end game day around 12:30.
We had a nice time and played cards when celebrating all of the birthdays. Everyone loved the cheese cake. I only have two pieces left and they are in the freezer as well as the chocolate cake.
Judy, I bet after vacation time you get fewer hours. School started last week here.
Deb, I am hoping to sign onto Cathe Live again soon as I get rid of this shoulder and neck issue. Your medicare cost sounds like mine. I am hoping that tomorrows PT is helpful. I have been doing what they told me too, but today it really hurts after cleaning and ironing.
Valerie, I have had several doctors that I liked and trusted retire or move away. I am glad that I have the one I have now, but worried since she has RA and only is working in the office two days a week. I do not like change. I would hate to have to search out another doctor. I was hoping to go over the medicare with my husband this weekend, but it ended up being non stop busy. Speaking of being a medical person, my daughter always gives the worst case scenarios. She looked at my Smart Beat results and told me maybe they would want to put in a stint. I was like no way!! I told her that they said the results sometimes are over read and that is why I am having the echo and thyroid ultrasound. So, today I went out and purchased more macadamia nut milk since I like that okay in my iced matcha tea and coffee. I bought oatmeal with flax and chia seed and had some for lunch today. I rarely eat grains. Trying to cut a bit more fat. I read asparagus is good for the heart so picked up some and roasted it for dinner with salmon, which I eat once or twice a week anyway. They forgot to give me a bag when I left Sprouts. I put things away and realized I did not have the asparagus. I paid for it though. I had to go back. When I came home again, I looked at the receipt to be sure I was not missing anything else. I was also missing the 3 pink lady apples. I did not go back for those. It is hot out there and I was trying to get some cleaning done. The girl walked over and looked in a shopping cart in the front of the store looking through bags that I gather were left behind to see if one had my asparagus. I guess it must happen a lot. It has happened to me in the past.
Lori, the standing abs look like something that I would like. I was thinking the other day that I have a standing abs workout that I should dig out. It is like a crunchless abs workout. I find it is so easy to just brown the steak and then sit it on the rack with some broth underneath and pressure cook it. I sprinkle a bit of liquid smoke on it and some seasoning that I rub in. Even not so tender cuts cook up nicely.
Carolyn, those trips can be so nice, but really do leave you feeling exhausted by the time you get home. We did one once though that was so relaxed and slow with no real purpose and I think it was the best trip we ever took. We stopped and visited friends, did sight seeing along the way, and took breaks and would just get a hotel and sit for awhile before we moved on.
