I am up early this week-must be a time change result. I'm glad to hear your MIL is home! When I've been in a boot, I couldn't do the bike. Let me know how the rower goes. I just did arms and abs and pushups. When I finally did get out of the boot I did a lot in the pool for all the little...

Your body is working hard to get repaired. Don't worry about working out! This is probably a good time to get the work done downstairs so you are not tempted. Sounds like DH is a good help! Not much going on here. Next week is my health week-mammogram, dexascan, dentist, and dermatology...

Hi! How is recovery going? Are you able to do any sitting or lying exercises? Do you have to wear a cast? Are you using crutches? I've been thinking about you and hope all is going well. This weekend was all about getting ready for winter around here. We cleaned the gutters, put the back...

Hi! I am not going to get any more dvd's and downloading did not work out as well as I'd hoped. I'm sticking with youtube for now. Good luck with your surgery! I will be sending good vibes to CO on Wednesday, for sure! Beth

Hello. I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. There are so many things people don't think they can manage, but then once it's more familiar and just part of the day, it's ok. Hopefully they can get all the tumors out and she fares well. I had a great time in England. Seeing DS2 was the best...

Hi! Weekend busy getting ready for our trip on Thursday! I would have loved to get picked for jury duty-but I can understand why you wouldn't want to-what a sad case. Times I've been non weight bearing I used my step a lot for upper body. Plus you can do some abs. It'll be fine. Drink a lot...

I've been working out and walking this weekend. Plus, soccer has been on to watch. Other than that, just regular chores and reading. Talked with DS2 yesterday and I think he's finally getting his own cell phone plan! Cutting the cord a little more. We are all psyched for the trip-leaving...

Hey there! At least you are getting things DONE in your house. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Prom dresses in September? When is the prom? Mine were always at the end of May. Your workout sounds intense. I'm so jealous of the weights you have available with the squat rack. 75 for...

Hi! Getting a lot of cleaning done here lately. I revamped the bookshelves and my workout space. I feel like with fall coming I want to get the inside less cluttered. Today was back, bi's and abs for me. Feeling good and rolling along with weight workouts. I've been listening to podcasts...

Hi! I'm glad you had a nice long break from work-you need it! As long as you get 4-5 workouts a week I think that's great. I've started listening to some podcasts (fit over fifty) on apple and after menopause you do need more recovery time. I'm still doing the same-4 weight sessions a week...

Hope your birthday was wonderful! Each one is a blessing for sure. I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. Hopefully it was discovered early and she can adjust to the many challenges and changes that come with cancer. BIL is feeling a bit depressed about his situation. He seems resigned to...

Well-My dad is home and doing well. He had a reverse total shoulder done. So his chest muscles will be more in use as opposed to the rotator cuff muscles. My BIL was discharged after a week. He's weak, but getting more sleep at home. My cat came home Thursday and requires a squirt in her...

How do you like the Peleton? I miss riding bike, but since DH fell and broke his hip on his, we have not been out together and I don't really like going out alone. I've kind of been looking for a used bike on craigslist for indoors, but DH feels like I do this all the time-buy something then...

Hey! How was your weekend? What's new? All is good here. We're busy figuring out all the trip logistics (getting the ticket to the phone, cashless system, the rail tickets...it feels endless!) Otherwise, I'm reading a mystery novel set in Ireland by Tana French, working out with Caroline...

Wow! You do have a houseful and a lot on your plate. It's nice though-you get to see your kids and granddaughters and that's worth all the chaos. Have you had your cortisol level checked? I think you are under a lot of stress with your job and keeping everything in order at home. The weight...

Glad you could escape and relax a bit. I can't believe school starts in two weeks for your granddaughters! Although I think it would be a good idea to have year around school to help kids not lose the rhythm of studying. It would help parents too with having to find child care all summer. My...

I hope you are having a nice, relaxing time in the mountains! I have discovered youtube channels and am pumped to try some of the workouts. They have a ton of total body workouts. Do you ever use any of these? Rowing is total body so I'm not surprised your legs are sore! It's really hot...

Up in muscle and down in fat! You are getting stronger for sure. Way to go! A friend of mine here has lost 30 pounds recently. She's doing this plan where you eat every two hours (about 100 calories) and then eat one meal a day. She eats between 800 and 1K a day. She eats no gluten as a...

Well, I'm sorry to say that DH doesn't want me to travel without him! I'll work on him though it might not be for a while that I can go. I was thinking we should meet in the midwest -somewhere in the middle. Maybe Nashville? Or, I would love to see Mt. Rushmore some time (Bucket list). Or...

Awesome personal best numbers! DS2 does those at his gym, too. Way to go! I have gone part time! This is the second week. I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It is wonderful! I have my own office now and am completely out of the petty drama in the back. I can "visit" with the...
