Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

I met my son, DIL and DD for lunch today. DS and DIL left for TX today. Afterwards we went shopping at Tysons Corner. Got in a lot of steps. When I came home, I needed a good workout. I did CL here latest UB.

Tomorrow I have an early ophthalmologist appointment.

Debbie - great job on your walk yesterday. It’s been raining here off and on.

Cookie - great job on the intervals. Thank you! I did had a lovely day. I see the eye doctor tomorrow.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Yoga today.

Deb, I broke three ribs and cracked two others one time, and boy was that painful! Glad your mom says she's it isn't as painful. Does she use a walker to get around?

Belinda, good luck at the eye dr appointment tomorrow. Get any interesting purchases?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & zoom yoga. It was very humid to walk so did a shorter walk.

Belinda - Great job with CL ub. It sounds like you had fun having lunch with your children and going shopping. I heard about that mall but have never been. Isn't it really big? Good luck with your Dr. appointment:)

Cookie - Great job with yoga. Oh boy, that is a lot of broken ribs & cracks must have been so hard to sleep with the pain. My Mom doesn't need a walker. She is pretty mobile. She stopped taking Prolia (for bone density) I told her to ask her Dr. if she should go back on.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I just got home from the eye doctor, my right eye sight is worst now then it was before. The lens is in the right place.He is going to do laser surgery next month. I am still healing. I have scars which they will remove to see if that will help my eye sight. The surgery will only take 5 to 10 min. Good news…I can wear make up again.

I been up since 3 am, will take a short break than try to get a workout in. BBL
 
I did intermediate Pilates Hips + core plus mobility moves = 40 min. The mobility had side planks which were not easy. She shows a lot of modifications for osteoporosis. No twisting/rolling down standing. No wonder my back is killing me.


Debbie - great job on your walk and zoom. Yes, Tysons Corner is big. During the week it’s pretty empty, on the weekends it’s packed. It’s too humid here to walk.

Cookie - great job on your yoga. Was it a JS yoga? Yikes on your broken rips and cracked 2 others. You must have been in a lot of pain. How did you brake your rips? Glad your mom is doing well. No, I only bought a t-shirt for working out. I needed that like I needed a hole in my head.

Have a great day and workout.
 
'Evening! TB weights today. This evening dh and I went on a local downtown historic house tour. It was reallly amazing to see the many different ways some of the ways the buildings and houses are used. If I didn't love where we are, I might be tempted to move downtown.

Deb, the humdity has been high here also, and it's been raining off and on all day. The broken and cracked ribs were very painful! How's your mom doing today?

Belinda, I've been to that mall, and it is big! Was that Pilates class with your one-month subscription? Yes, the yoga was a JS one. I was ice skating on very uneven ice and was very foolish.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & Cathe Lean legs workout. I have been on the hunt for gifts for DH's birthday, it gets harder and harder each year. One of the gifts he saw in my Amazon cart.

Belinda - Good that the laser surgery will only be 5-10 minutes. I'm sure after that you will be good for awhile. Great pilates workout, sounds like a good workout! Yoga and pilates sometimes hurts my back too.

Cookie - A historic house tour sounds like fun:) You and DH do a great job of finding things to do in your area. My Mom is doing better, we are going to see her on Saturday with the kids.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Walk outside this morning before it got humid. Went for a nice long walk. I also did Pilates abs = 15 min + 35 mobility from the Pilates I am trying out. I did like the mobility workout a lot. She did stretches I have never seen before. Very good.

Debbie - great job on your walk and Lean Legs. I agree, it gets harder and harder to shop for DH. Maybe a concert or a play? Let me know what you end up getting? I hope I will be good for a while with my eyes, lol. I don’t know what it is about yoga/pilates? I do put something like a towel under. Still hurts. I did try a Pilates ball, that works. Glad your mom is doing better. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Cookie - great job on your TB workout. That house tour sounds fun. DH and I like doing house tours too. Tysons Corner mall is huge. I signed up for a year, get to try the Pilates for a 30 day’s before I make a commitment. I do need more pelvic floor/hip strengthening. Today’s mobility was really good, she also incorporates ab workouts in every of her sessions. DH did a back session yesterday, he liked it too. My Rheum told me a few weeks ago, I should do more body weight exercises with the brain aneurysm instead lifting heavy. I did the the Pilates from $299 50% off, it’s not to bad.

Have a great day and workout
 
'Evening! Pilates Fusion today. Went to a restaurant more near where we used to live to check out a new restaurant there. It was very good. While sitting inside the restaurant, we saw our neighbors from our current house walk by. So strange, all in the same town on the same corner at the same time.

Deb, your mom will be so happy to see your whole family. Bet she especially loves seeing the baby. I like to find things to do that are something a tourist might do. We go to visit other places and enjoy them, but then sometimes I think we need to also explore more where we are. Good luck with the birthday gift hunting!

Belinda, I'm wondering if the way the lower back is held in Pilates is what's bothering you. There's probably some YouTube videos on how to hold your lower back and core when doing those exercises. It is different than in many other programs.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & upper body at the gym. It sure was hot outside today.

Belinda - Great getting in a walk & pilates. I thought about a concert or play, may save that for Christmas. There are a few we would like at a local theatre that are in 2026. Is a pilates ball those green squishy balls? I like those for my lower back.

Cookie - Great job with pilates fusion. It is a small world that you saw your neighbors. It is a good idea to do touristy things:) My Mom is going to be shocked how big the baby is and doing so many things now.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Went for a long workout today and did a mobility workout. I will start doing CL next week.

Debbie - great job on your walk outside and UB at the gym. I think your Dh would love whatever you give him.I do use the Pilates ball or a boaster for my back.

Cookie - great job on the Pilates fusion. I have osteoporosi/arthritis in my lower back. No matter what i do my lower back is hurting. I do use a Pilates ball, towel or a boaster under my back. No the ab exercise are dead bugs, whatever Pilates core they do. I have problems with Cathe’s core workouts too. I did learn if you have osteoporosis you shouldn’t be doing a lot of what I been doing.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Two walks today and dinner w/a sister and her husband. It's nice how our husbands have become good friends over the years.

Deb, oh your mom is going to be so happy tomorrow. I struggle to remember to take photos but need to do so more often to capture memories.

Belinda, you're right about being careful. The weather here today was beautiful, souns like it was nice by you for your walk.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk. It was a nice day visiting my Mom. She enjoyed seeing the baby. He loves food, even though he only has 2 teeth :)

Belinda - Great getting in your walks & mobility. Does your infusions help with your back?

Cookie - Great getting in 2 walks. It's nice your DH's have become good friends over the years.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Walk outside, dance and live mobility workout.

Debbie - great job on your walk. Glad you had a nice day visiting your mom. Awww…that’s so cute he loves food. I don’t get infusions anymore, I am on a different medication. The infusions stopped working.

Cookie - great job on your walk. That’s fantastic your husband getting along so well.

Good night.
 
Another walk today. Yesterday we got our flu and Covid boosters, so didn't want to do weights today. Met eldest ds for brunch and then enjoyed A Beautiful Noise, a musical based on Neil Diamond's song catalogue. Seriously, I had no idea how many songs he had done!

Deb, I bet that little guy is growing fast and getting cuter. he needs that food for all the exploring he's getting ready to do. How's your mom feeling?

Belinda, how did you like the mobility workout? How's your lower back today?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & core work. It was DH's birthday & cooked him his favorite meal. I told him I don't remember it ever being this hot & humid on his birthday:)

Belinda - Great job with walk, dance & live mobility workout. Do you like the new medication so far?

Cookie - Great job with your walk. I saw A Beautiful Noise and was also so surprised at how many songs he has done. I'm happy I didn't know it was a nice surprise.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I did a UB workout. That’s it.

Debbie - great job on your walk and core. Happy birthday to your husband. That is so sweet of you to cook him his favorite meal. It was very humid and hot here too. I am on the new medication for 3 months. I like that I don’t have to be at the infusion center each month. I don’t like taking the meds daily. It seems to help with RP.

Cookie - great job on your walk. We all got our walk in yesterday. I am so torn over the Pilates….I do like it a lot. Do I really need another subscription? Yes, I did like the mobility workout a lot. She puts out a weekly schedule, the workouts are raining from 15-30 min. Her live classes are under an hour. Today she had a live workshop, which I really enjoyed. Most ladies are older than I am, there are a few my age, lol. They all seem very nice.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Another day for a walk. We all went for one today.

Deb, happy birthday to your dh! It sure has been warm and humid the past couple of days. Nice that we were both surprised by the Neil Diamond catalogue of songs!

Belinda, I hear you on having a lot of subscriptions. Streaming makes things so easy to have more. It is good you're enjoying them.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside, I saw an amazing sunset tonight, it was so colorful happy I toons some pictures.

Belinda - Great job with your upper body workout. Good to hear meds are helping. Does your subscription include the workshops?

Cookie - Great getting in your walk. It supposed to get cooler here on Wednesday. Thanks my Mom is feeling better.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

I had a rheumatologist appointment. The new meds I am on are not doing what they supposed to do. My ear is still red meaning I have inflammation. My Rheumatologist recommended to go back to infusions. I got used to not driving every month to the infusion center. I like the freedom I have with the current medication. He added another medication on top of everything I already have to take. He wants me to take it for a few months to see if I see an improvement if not I have to go back to the infusion center.

I been doing a lot of pilates, stretching to get those knots out in my shoulder/biceps/neck. He is going to do an ultrasound on the 6th to see what is going on. Possible getting steroids shots.


I came home late and left early. Usually it takes me a little over an hour, today it took me over 2 hours. I am beat. I did do a posture/stretch workout. That’s it.

Debbie - the meds are helping for the pain, not so much for the inflammation I have in my ear. I hope it will kick in very soon. The it includes the work shops. Nice job on your walk.

Cookie - great job on your walk. Screaming subscriptions also makes it harder to decide which onces to chose and which once's to let go. Not to mention it‘s getting expensive.


Good night.
