Hello! Sorry I've been MIA. It sounds like you are in a great place mentally! I'm so glad you have decided to embrace yourself at whatever weight you are. Feeling healthy and not fighting is a great mindset. Plus, now you can get rid of any clothes with snaps and shot for new ones! You...

You are doing what you can with your toe healing! I'm sure as time goes by you'll be healed up nicely. Everything takes longer to heal the older I get. Having a snow day here in PA-all the schools are closed and it's an icy, slushy, snowy mess right now. I've been baking a pumpkin coffee cake...

Hello! I've been MIA at work. It is my two week walk in rotation and my manager through in a 4 hour CPR training on one of my days off. Tomorrow is 7-7 and then I just have Friday to get through before I'm back to my regular schedule. We are planning just a special dinner for Xmas. No...

All is well here. We have been watching ALL the soccer. It's been great! Thanksgiving was just DH, DS1 and myself. I made just our favorites and it was perfect. Book club is at my house tomorrow night so I've been cleaning and decorating in between walks, workouts, and soccer. Your...

Hi! Don't worry too much about working out. Your body is expending energy trying to heal. How is the swelling? At least it's a good time of the year to be "down"-too cold to walk here. Only 3 more weeks with the cast! I've had a good week. Friday night I went out to dinner with a bunch...

You tube is amazing! I'm glad you found some workouts on it. I've also been listening to podcast like videos after I workout that are on you tube. Is your basement remodel almost done? It sounds like it'll be a great space to workout and hangout in. Where is your office these days? Your...

Hey! I went to the pool on Wednesday night after work. I did a 30 minute interval workout and it felt great. So refreshing to get back in the water. I'm hoping to do it weekly until it gets nice out again. I had my mammogram, dexascan, dermatology skin check, and semi annual dental...

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...
