Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

Today was a walk outside. Luckily I found a sauce in the freezer so I didn't have to cook a big batch but finished putting up some fall/Halloween decorations.

Belinda - Can you do the On Demand classes anytime? You are so organized to start your packing, I wish I was like that:) my husband would love it.

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I will go for a walk today plus do some Pilates . The instructor puts a weekly schedule out. So far, i like it.

Debbie - great job on your walk. Glad you found a sauce so you didn‘t had to make a huge batch. Pilates OnDemand has all her live recordings and the once’s she adds. Yes, I can do OnDemand anytime. I probably will just do Pilates while I am in Germany.

Hi Cookie.

BBL
 

This afternoon I had a live zoom Pilates coaching call: we explored progressions for familiar Pilates moves and focus on performing them with better form. She guided us through a mix of demonstrations, hands-on practice, and time for questions — think of it as a friendly, interactive tutorial. It was very hands on. My core is getting stronger, lol. The pilates push ups were tough on my shoulder/biceps. I don‘t think the shot did a lot for me.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & Cathe Pure Strength strong legs & abs. It was an old dvd where she was able to use music from the 70's.

Belinda - Great job with your walk & Pilates. That is good that you can go back and do the Lives you like. The coaching call sounds interesting. I'm sure your core is getting stronger.

Waves hi to Cookie

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

Today. did live zoom dance and Pilates pelvic floor.

Debbie - great job on walk and Pure Strength Legs and abs. Those old DVD’s all used good music back in the day’s. All live zoom will be archived like Cathe‘s live. My core is getting stronger.

Hi Cookie

Good night.
 
'Evening! Got home just a bit ago, so still need to unpack and all that. Lots of walking and enjoying my bil and his family the past few days. Also got to see some of Chicago. Have to present at a conference tomorrow, so am hoping to get some steps in during the day, as dh and I have a Halloween event tomorrow evening.

Deb, one year old already! Wow, where did the time go? How was the party? Glad you had no difficulties getting home.

Belinda, sounds like you're really enjoying this pilates program, and you're learning a lot. Boy, you are organized if you're already packing. When is the trip?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk & Cathe Pure Strength chest, shoulders & tri's. I went to get my 2nd Shingles shot today, so far (fingers crossed) not as painful as the 1st. It's funny just read an article that the Shingles shot could possibly help lower your chance for heart disease & dementia.

Belinda - Great job with zoom dance & Pilates pelvic floor. I love the old music, wish they weren't so strict now. I guess they like to sell music for commercials :(

Cookie - Sounds like you had a really nice time. Chicago can get so cold, good time of year for your to go. I would go for the Chicago pizza;) Actually when the RT was near Chicago that is what I did, but would love to go back to sightsee. The party was fun.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening

Sorry I forgot to check in yesterday. I did 2 hours of dance and Pilates. Today I did 40 min TB Pilates.

Tomorrow I have 3 appointments scheduled. I will try to get up early to get my workout in. Friday is my DD‘s 40th birthday, we will spent some time with her. She has all kinds of activities scheduled. One is having a sound bath yoga. I am excited. Saturday DS/DIL are coming.

Debbie - great job on the walk & Cathe Pure Strength chest, shoulders & tri's. I hear you on the music. I read the same about the shingles shot today. How are you feeling? I need my 2nd one. I had the flue shot today. I need to wait 2 weeks to get the shingles shot.

Cookie - glad you had a nice time visiting you family. I do enjoy and learn a lot about Pilates. I usually pack the day before, this time I decided to pack ahead of time. We will fly on November 17th - Dec 8th.

Good night.
 
'Evening! A walk and then this evening we went on a historical walking tour focused on murder and misdeeds. It was fun and interesting.

Deb, I didn't read that about the shingles vaccine, but am glad to have had mine. I sure don't want dementia. Chicago sure lives up to its nickname as the Windy City! Happy anniversary (tomorrow).

Belinda, happy birthday (early) to your dd! Hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow. A sound bath sounds terrific. Have you done one before?
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside & zoom yoga. Soon after yoga I was getting up from my desk and moved to quickly and heard a crack/pop on the side of my knee. I looked it up sounds like an LCL injury. I ordered a brace from Amazon should be here in the morning. I have been icing it doesn't seem to bad but will see.

Belinda - Great job with dance & Pilates & TB Pilates. Good luck with your 3 appointments tomorrow. It sounds like you will have a nice time for DD's 40th. I have never heard of yoga sound bath? The 2nd shot seems to be much less painful than the 1st.

Cookie - Great job with your walk. The historic walking tour sounds like fun and it is perfect timing for Halloween. Thank you our anniversary is on Halloween. It's hard the kids want us to babysit Saturday for their anniversary, so maybe we will go later on Halloween to celebrate.

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! Essentrics today. DH had some teeth removed, so that occupied a lot of my day waiting around for him. Surprisingly, it took 3 hrs!

Deb, hope you get to celebrate both anniversaries! How's your knee doing now? Have you decided about going to see a dr?

Belinda, hope your three appointments went well. How are you doing?
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. I received the brace and it does help. I'm also taking Alleve. I will see how it is on Monday and make an appointment then. I will take it easy and maybe do abs & upper body only.

Belinda - I hope your Dr. appointments went well. I'm sure you are exhausted.

Cookie - Great job with Essentrics. Oh boy, 3 hours is a long time but hopefully he's not in too much pain. Is he asking for ice cream?

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. We got home very late. I had 3 appointments scheduled. I had a virtual cardiologist appointment. Which turned out great, DH and I were driving to Philly. The cardiologist is running a series of tests on the pulmonary aneurysm. He also is monitoring the aneurysm early. I am happy with that. We did pull over for the virtual,I was afraid to lose signal down the road. It was windy and very rainy. I had my 6 month RP check up at UPenn and had a comprehensive hearing test at Penn as well. We didn‘t get home until late last night. It‘s a 4 hour drive one way. I am exhausted. I had to get up early this morning to drive 2 hours to celebrate DD‘s 40th birthday today. My son/DIL are with DD, they want to visit us tomorrow. So, DD having a sound bath (it‘s a relaxing, meditation) than her and DIL are teaching a yoga class. Not one of her friend thought about bringing a yoga mat? I have to bring all my extra mats. I will try to do after the yoga to do my Pilates workout from yesterday, I already have my yoga mat out, lol.

Debbie - Happy anniversary!!! OH NO! I hope the brace is helping. It only takes one wrong move. I am so sorry you are going through this. Get lots of rest and feel better.

Cookie - I hope your DH recovers soon. That‘s a long time to wait. DH had to wait long hours too yesterday. I feel bad for him.

I will be back later.
 
Hi,

Today was a quick upper body at the gym. I don't think my LCL injury is too bad, but still taking it easy. It mostly hurts when I bend my knee but not when walking around. The brace does help stabilize it.

We have very little Trick a Treaters so we are thinking about heading out to dinner soon. It is very windy here.

Belinda - Wow, sounds like a very busy day traveling and seeing Dr.'s. It sounds like it went well. Now you are getting to enjoy DD's birthday. You will have so much fun with your family and DD's friends. They asked the right person for extra mats;)

Cookie - Any plans for Halloween?

Goodnight:)
 
Evening! Sorry for not checking in last night - had a hockey game and got in late. Today was a walk (very windy), chest, back and delts. Did most of a Cathe Live for Seniors before running out of time. First time I tried one of those workouts.

Deb, hope you had a lovely anniversary celebration. Glad your knee is doing a bit better. Taking it easy is a wise idea.

Belinda, those friends are lucky you have extra yoga mats! It's wonderful that you have such good medical care. Enjoy your time with your family, and happy birthday to your daughter.
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. Last night's dinner was nice, we didn't have many trick or treaters so it worked out. I am looking forward to the extra hour of sleep.

Belinda - I am sure you are enjoying your DD's birthday celebration!

Cookie - Great job with your walk & Cathe Live for Seniors. Thank you we had a nice night. It was really windy here too!

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

Yesterday I did a Pilates TB + Stretch/hip. Today I did a OnDemand belly dance, Halloween dance to the Adams Family. So fun!

I am so exhausted from this weekend. We been spending lots of time driving back and forth to DD‘s birthday party. DS/DIL decided yesterday they had enough, we picked them up. We did went out to dinner and talked until late last night. We drove them to the airport early this morning. We all didn‘t get a lot of sleep.

Debbie - we did. The sound bath was fantastic. Sadie was falling asleep, she snored so loud we all started to laugh, lol. Glad you had a nice, quite dinner.

Cookie - nicely job with your walk & Cathe Live for Seniors. How did you like it? It‘s for RP research. Anybody with RP can go. They the best in the world. I am so thankful for them. Without the researchers there wouldn‘t be any hope.Thank you..I will tell DD.

I am beat. Good night.
 
'Evening! Met dd and her fiance for lunch, stopped at an antique shop on way home, but didn't find any tempting items. Got home and did a lb workout and finished the Cathe Live started yesterday.

Deb, how's your knee? Hope you're doing better with it.

Belinda, lol at Sadie and her snoring! The Cathe Live was good; I just don't like realizing that I am a senior!
 
Hi,

Today was a short walk. My knee feels best in the morning but not 100% by any means. I will continue to take it easy.

Belinda - It sounds like you had a fun weekend but I'm sure exhausting. I guess even Sadie was tired:) but I'm sure she enjoyed it. The Adams Family dance & sound bath sounds great!

Cookie - It was a nice day to meeting your dd and fiance for lunch. I haven't been to an antique shop in awhile, but loved going. Great job with your lb Cathe live.

Goodnight:)
